“Master Xi, when are you planning to return to the capital? Things here are mostly sorted out. I heard Ou Jinzhi bought a lot of advanced weapons from
Institute 26. We have ti to visit the base and broaden Wen Xin’s horizons!”
When Liang Luoyu connected weapons and Wen Xin, Mu Chengxi’s first reaction was to recall the incident that happened at the Ancient Market Town dock. He felt it was better for Wen Xin to stay away from such dangerous things.
“Not interested. If you like the stuff at Institute 26, I can arrange for you to go there for a few days…” Mu Chengxi glanced at Liang Luoyu, then withdrew his gaze, lowering his head to continue dealing with emails on his tablet.
“Master Xi, haven’t you heard? Institute 26 recently developed a precise strike missile. It can connect to a global network and strike accurately no matter where the target is. Plus, the collateral damage is minimal.”
Liang Luoyu was particularly interested in this technology, but research at Institute 26 was highly classified, with no trace of information available.
“Master Xi, could you really get in there?” Liang Luoyu looked at Mu Chengxi expectantly, as if he would imdiately pack up and leave if Mu Chengxi agreed.
“I can get you in, but I don’t know if you’ll make it out alive.” Mu Chengxi lazily glanced at Liang Luoyu, his eyes seeming to regard him as foolish.
“N-No…that’s not what I ant! Master Xi, you…”
“Hurry up and get busy. Return in three days.”
With just one week left until Wen Xin’s independent enrollnt exam, he had to stay by her side. So, these days, he was working tirelessly day and night to deal with matters to get them out of the way.
Upon hearing Mu Chengxi’s words, Liang Luoyu, who was already close to losing his ability to move, stood up with Gu Yanzhe’s help. He couldn’t utter any complaints now, resigned to handling his own affairs.
At the entrance of Tianxiang Pavilion, the manager saw the black Maybach parked outside and hurried out to open the car door for Wen Xin. “Miss Wen, is Master Xi not accompanying you today?”
Seeing that Mu Chengxi wasn’t in the car, the hotel manager asked respectfully, worried he hadn’t taken good care of her.
“He’s not here. I’m here to see my classmates today…”
“Oh, you an the classmates Young Master Wen brought? Please co with …”
Having seen Wen Xin and Wen Huai dining together, the hotel manager naturally understood the relationship between Wen Xin and the classmates brought by Wen Huai. So, when Wen Xin ntioned classmates, the manager imdiately thought of those brought by Wen Huai.
“Yes, please lead the way, Manager.”
“Miss Wen, please…” With a gesture of invitation, the manager led Wen Xin into Tianxiang Pavilion, heading towards the private room where Wen Huai was.
Arriving at the door of the private room, Wen Xin pushed it open and saw more than ten classmates sitting properly at the dining table, waiting for her arrival.
Seeing such a solemn scene, Wen Xin couldn’t help but furrow her brows slightly, feeling sowhat strange about the situation.
“What… are you all doing?”
“Sister Xin, we’ve missed you so much!”
After seeing Wen Xin, all their composure was gone. They rushed towards her, surrounding her, chattering incessantly. Wen Xin couldn’t make out what they were saying.
“Alright, alright, sit down, one at a ti…” Wen Xin raised her hand to rub her slightly aching ears, pointed to the seats next to the table, and asked them to sit down and calm down before speaking.
“Sister Xin, the teachers knew we were coming to see you and asked us to bring you a few words. They said you must write your compositions well in Chinese, and also in Physics…”
Gu Yifei relayed the teachers’ instructions to Wen Xin one by one. As she reached the end, Gu Yifei suddenly paused, looking at Wen Xin with so difficulty.
“Um… Sister Xin… they also said that even if you don’t do well in the exams, the school’s gates will always be open for you. They’re waiting for you to co back and continue your studies…”
Towards the end, Gu Yifei’s voice grew quieter. She knew that what she was saying might seem inappropriate, but she also didn’t want to hide the last part.
“Oh, what are you saying? We ca here to cheer you up, not to add pressure.
Sister Xin, just do your best in the exams. We’re waiting for your good news.” “Yeah, Sister Xin, don’t you know your own abilities? You can do anything!”
“Sister Xin, wait for at Beijing University. Even if I can’t get in, I’ll definitely co to study in the capital. By then, we’ll still be in the sa city!”
“That’s right, Sister Xin, my dad is reporting to the capital next month. I’ll definitely co to study in the capital too. I already ranked in the top 500 in the monthly exam this ti. You don’t know, I made Chu Jie so angry, but she’s not as arrogant as before.”
Respectfully, Zhao Yuyao handed Wen Xin a cup of tea. He had a lot to say to her but also understood the nature of the occasion, so he refrained from saying too much.
“I’ll wait for you all in the capital. After your college entrance exams, I’ll treat you to a feast in Ice City!”
Today, Wen Xin was very happy. Her deanor while talking to them was relaxed, lazily sitting in her seat, leaning against the backrest, not much different from her previous school days.
Atter chatting with them tor a while, Wen Xin asked the waiter to bring the nu and start ordering. Then she turned her head and hooked Tian Xingyue’s chair with her foot, pulling her to her side.
She draped her arm over Tian Xingyue’s shoulder, clasping the back of her neck with her slender fingers, gently pinching her cheek. “Have you missed ?”
Wen Xin’s voice was sowhat husky, sounding tempting to everyone’s ears. Tian Xingyue responded with a sweet smile, her smiling eyes forming crescents, looking very sweet.
“Of course, I’ve missed you. But I receive gifts from you every day, so I feel like you’ve been by my side all along.”
Hearing Tian Xingyue ntion gifts, Wen Xin narrowed her eyes slightly. She did send Tian Xingyue so snacks and daily necessities, but gifts every day?
She didn’t rember doing that.
“Sister Xin, the milk candy you gave Sister Xingyue is delicious! I asked my uncle to buy so, but he said that brand isn’t from the capital. Did Uncle Chengxi buy it for you?”
Ling Xu’er sat beside Wen Xin, feeling a little lost seeing Wen Xin and Tian Xingyue sitting so intimately together. She felt sidelined with Tian Xingyue around, but she still smiled brightly because Tian Xingyue treated her well too, and she liked her a lot.
“Milk candy? What milk candy? Show ?”
