Hua Jianzui stroked the plane ticket with his fingers, and the corners of his lips unconsciously rose. He would be able to return to Xia Country soon.
In the suitcase she had hastily packed was a new gray scarf that she had knitted herself.
When Hua Jianzui returned to Xia Country, it was already dark local time. She stood in front of Ling Shuangxi's single apartment, not knowing whether she should ring the doorbell.
But Ling Shuangxi was not in the room at all.
Their gazes met in mid-air, and Ling Shuangxi's hand froze in mid-air, slightly surprised. "Is it you?" Ling Shuangxi, still wearing a large black trench coat that covered her thighs, was still covered. A bright red scarf was wrapped around her neck, revealing only the upper half of her face. She walked towards Hua Jianzui step by step, faster and faster, and finally hugged Hua Jianzui and buried her head in the crook of her neck.
Hua Jianzui felt a little lost. He raised his hand and gently pressed Ling Shuangxi's back, whispering, "I knitted a new scarf for you. It's in the suitcase."
Ling Shuangxi grabbed Hua Jianzui's white suit and refused to let go: "Is it you?"
Hua Jianzui laughed: "It's me, no one else would dare to knit a scarf for you." She patted Ling Shuangxi on the back, "Okay, how long do you want to hold me?"
Ling Shuangxi shook her head and hugged Hua Jianzui tighter.
Hua Jianzui let Ling Shuangxi hold her, since there were no surveillance cameras here anyway. When she came up, she deliberately used magic to confuse the cameras she had to pass by.
"Shuangxi, how are you doing lately?"
"Same old as always." Ling Shuangxi's voice was muffled, and no emotion could be heard.
In the eyes of outsiders, she is Qimen's cold-blooded judge, but here in Huajianzui, she is just a woman who has grievances and nowhere to vent.
The two maintained the hugging position for several minutes before Ling Shuangxi let go of Hua Jianzui, turned around, opened the door of the apartment, and turned back to motion Hua Jianzui to come in.
Her single apartment was simply furnished with only some simple furniture and no signs of life.
Hua Jianzui sat down on the single sofa. Ling Shuangxi brought her a glass of warm water. "Angel...how is it?"
Hua Jianzui tilted her head and thought for a moment. "They treat their employees quite well," she said, pressing her temple. "It's just that I'm an ordinary angel, so I can't meet the nine high-level angels." She tilted her head back and drank the water in one gulp, then placed the cup on the round glass table in front of her. "They seem a little wary of me."
Ling Shuangxi stood in front of the window, her hands in her pockets, looking out the window. Under the dim light, her hair obscured her profile, and Hua Jianzui couldn't see her expression clearly.
"Your situation is rather special, so they are naturally wary of you."
Hua Jianzui laughed: "Yeah." She leaned back on the sofa and looked up at the lamp. "I was saved. I should be happy, but I can't be happy at all because there are too many doubts. Sometimes I think, I might as well die. Living is so tiring."
Ling Shuangxi's body stiffened, and she bit her lip and said, "It's good to be alive. All living things suffer, but they are all looking for the meaning of their lives."
Hua Jianzui smiled and said, "Let's get together some other day and invite Lao Li, Lao Guan, and Gu Ran."
Ling Shuangxi smiled faintly: "I feel that Li Yuzhen's condition is much better. It was the right decision for me to insist on saving him."
"Yeah." Hua Jianzui closed his eyes. "He's a very nice guy. Although I didn't have much contact with him before, I've been working at Qimen for so long and have heard a lot about his heroic deeds. It's just that I never knew his Qimen number, so I never had the chance to meet him, which was a pity. Later, when we really got to know each other, he had already become a teacher at Jigong."
"His number has been sealed by Qimen and will never be activated again." Ling Shuangxi sighed softly, "I want this too, but Qimen is so oppressive that I can't breathe."
Hua Jianzui comforted him, "It's okay. We have Gu Ran and I here. We are your good friends."
Ling Shuangxi leaned against the window, not knowing what she was looking at: "When were you and Gu Ran together?"
Hua Jianzui almost choked on his own saliva: "Shuangxi, when did you learn to joke?"
Ling Shuangxi turned to look at Hua Jianzui: "He's so nice to you, doesn't that mean he likes you?"
Hua Jianzui spread his hands helplessly: "You are so nice to me, don't you like me?"
The room fell silent. Hua Jianzui blinked and coughed softly, "We've strayed off topic. Let's get down to business. Have you found anything in Qimen recently?"
Ling Shuangxi shook her head: "No, there aren't many things I can touch."
"That's right." Hua Jianzui put his hands behind his neck and said, "Let's take it one step at a time. There are only five of us, so it's still too few."
Ling Shuangxi pursed her lips and thought for a moment: "AZ003 Enqidu, AZ004 Murong Qingli, AZ008 Song Yi, they are all okay."
"No, I haven't come into contact with it, so I can't judge." Hua Jianzui didn't distrust Ling Shuangxi, but in this regard, she still felt that it would be better for her to judge.
"Okay." Ling Shuangxi nodded. "Are you all here tonight?"
"Yeah." Hua Jianzui then remembered that he hadn't shown the scarf he knitted for Ling Shuangxi to her yet, so he opened the suitcase and took it out. "Look, I knitted it with wool from abroad. It feels very comfortable to the touch. Try it on."
Ling Shuangxi came over, took the new scarf, and pressed it against her face: "Yeah, very comfortable."
Hua Jianzui chuckled: "That's right. It's getting late, let's get some rest."
"Um."

As the top-performing student in the third monthly club competition, Ai Yu qualified for the Huadu search engine. She took a deep breath and addressed the robot attendant in front of her, "New student Ai Yu, please grant permission to access the Qimen database."
The robot bowed slightly and then met Ai Yu's gaze. "Identity verification is in progress. Verification successful. Welcome to the Huadu search engine. It's a pleasure to serve you. Opening the Qimen database. The Qimen database has been opened. Please provide further instructions."
Ai Yu lightly grasped the nameplate on her chest through the fabric: "Search NI001."
"Searching for NI001, please wait a moment... Search completed, no such person found."
Ai Yu stared in disbelief. She repeated, "Search for NI001."
"Searching for NI001, please wait a moment... Search completed, no such person found."
Ai Yu bit her lip and spoke again, "Search for NI001."
No matter how many times Ai Yu repeated it, the answer was no such person existed. She stood before the robot, dumbfounded, clutching the nameplate on her chest. Clearly... clearly it existed, so why, why couldn't she find it? Didn't the Huadu search engine supposedly have information on all the Qimen Yueshi? Why couldn't she find it?
Ai Yu shed tears unconsciously: "NI001..."
