The next day, at daybreak.
Ah Li and Rong Li packed their bags together, preparing to leave the school.
Lin Tian didn't have much luggage to take back, but he carried a drawing board on his back and asked Rong Li, "Where do you live? Is it on my way?"
Rong Li gave an address, and Qi Huai looked over. It was near his home, not far away.
Zhou Sheng didn't have much stuff, and he didn't plan to take it all back. He chimed in, "It's very close, we can go out and have fun together."
"Is it alright, Rong Li?" Lin Tian asked Rong Li.
Rong Li said, "Of course you can. It's just my sister and me at home, so you can come and play with us too."
Qi Huai didn't say anything. After changing his clothes, he carried his backpack and went downstairs first.
Rong Li looked at Ah Li and found that Ah Li was quiet, so he patted Ah Li's head and said, "Let's go too."
"good."
Ahri put on her mask again at this point.
When they left the school, each student was given a book on Qi Refining.
"While you're on holiday at home, take some time to observe. Once classes resume, everyone can start practicing breathing exercises."
The teacher distributing the books spoke with a serious expression.
Rong Li handed the book to Ah Li, then looked at Lin Tian and said, "Is this meant to teach us how to cultivate immortality?"
"Could it be that spiritual energy is about to revive?"
As Lin Tian spoke, he put the book into his schoolbag.
The teacher glanced at Rong Li and Lin Tian and said, "The contents of the book cannot be circulated outside."
"Understood, teacher."
What happened at school yesterday has been covered up.
Each book cover features a Bagua (eight trigrams), believed to ward off evil spirits. Distributing them to the students was also intended to ensure their safety.
Qi Huai was already sitting in his car when Zhou Sheng noticed him and came over with his bag.
"Brother Huai, so you were waiting for us here!"
"Um."
Qi Huai responded and looked at the book that had just been given to him.
Zhou Sheng called out to Lin Tian, "Brother Tian, Brother Huai is here!"
Lin Tian came over and put his luggage in the trunk, but he still carried the drawing board on his back.
Ah Li originally wanted to take a taxi back with Rong Li.
Rong Li said to Ali, "Ali, you go back in Qi Huai's car first. Lin Tian and I have something to do, so we'll go back later."
Lin Tian, with a drawing board slung over his back and one hand on Rong Li's shoulder, smiled at Ah Li but didn't say anything.
Ah Li looked at Rong Li with some concern, "Brother, you..."
Rong Li raised his hand and patted Ali's head, saying, "It's nothing, I just went to paint and gather inspiration."
"Then come back soon, I'll be waiting for you at home."
"Yes, I know."
As Rong Li spoke, he pushed Ah Li into the car.
Rong Li said to Qi Huai, "Qi Huai, please, help me send my sister back."
"Um."
Qi Huai didn't even look up, as if his attention was entirely on the book.
Zhou Sheng had already taken his seat in the passenger seat, flipping through the book that had just been distributed.
Rong Li and Lin Tian left together, while Ah Li sat quietly.
The car started.
Qi Huai closed the book, then looked at Ah Li, "Aren't you going to explain?"
"Huh? Explain what?"
Ah Li looked at Qi Huai with a blank expression.
"never mind."
Qi Huai moved a little closer to Ah Li, and then reached out to take off Ah Li's mask.
Qi Huai then asked, "May I pick them?"
Ah Li was still a little confused. She was still thinking, "Has Qi Huai already confirmed that she was 'Rong Li' from that period?"
Qi Huai had already started to remove Ah Li's mask, his movements were very gentle.
When Ahri's mask was taken off, Zhou Sheng turned around and exclaimed, "Holy crap! It looks so much like her!"
Qi Huai looked coldly at Zhou Sheng, "Turn back."
"oh."
Zhou Sheng quickly turned back, not daring to turn his head back again.
Qi Huai said to the driver, "Take Zhou Sheng back first."
Zhou Sheng, speaking in a dry, monotone voice, said, "We're all from the same neighborhood, no need to deliver it first."
Qi Huai folded the mask in his hand and put it in his pocket. Then he gave Ali's address and said, "Let's go to this place first."
The driver responded and changed the route.
When they arrived at Ali's house, Qi Huai and Ali got out of the car together, and Qi Huai even helped Ali carry her suitcase.
The driver didn't ask any questions and drove off.
Ah Li looked at Qi Huai and said, "Aren't you going back?"
Qi Huai tilted his head and looked at Ali, "We're already at your doorstep, aren't you going to invite me in for a bit?"
After saying that, Qi Huai pulled Ah Li's suitcase with one hand and held a key with a little bear keychain in the other, and went to open the door.
"My key!"
Ahri touched her pocket. When did he take her key?
Ah Li followed behind Qi Huai and asked, "When did you get it?"
Qi Huai pulled Ah Li's hand and said, "I just grabbed it when I was taking off your mask."
"you!"
"Your pockets are too shallow, and also..."
Qi Huai put the suitcase aside, then pressed Ali against the wall and whispered in her ear, "There shouldn't be anyone else in your family, right?"
"You... are still a high school student."
Ahri said it very seriously.
Qi Huai gritted his teeth and said, "So what!"
Ah Li sensed that this person was about to explode, so she raised her hand and touched Qi Huai's face, "So, when did you start liking me?"
