Bo Lifen's lips curled into a huge grin as she dismissively waved a hand, "You have the nerve to talk back when you ca here to see . I should have made Ning Bi kick you out."
"Ah, easy there. Don't you miss your favorite junior?" Han Jing raised his hands in the air and tried for his most charming grin. "I decided to drop by and visit after all..."
The older woman simply rolled her eyes, "I always had the notion that you'd co running here so day in the future when you needed my help."
"Ouch. Don't you have any faith in my abilities?" Han Jing clutched wiped so crocodile tears. "Didn't you say that I have a lot of potential?"
"Potential for trouble, go sit your ass over there. The tea is getting cold." She motioned to the floor with a pillow.
"You really do love ~"
"Shush your mouth, people may hear and misunderstand you." She sent him a glare.
Han Jing scratched his cheek and ducked his head, "My bad and thank you for this, you really didn't have to do this much for ." Maybe so things do change? She never really paid attention to what other people cared about beforebut it must be due to her line of work.
"It's not everyday that a junior of mine cos to visit an old lady like ."
"You're not that old, I an aren't you just"
"If you speak out a number, I won't hesitate kicking you out." She gave him a look.
"Ahaha, I'll talk less, yes. My mouth is completely zipped."

"So how are you?" It wouldn't do much to just jump into his reason for coming here. And unlike Mou Gu, Bo Lifen and he knew each other and kept in touch more than him.
Perhaps sowhere in the city, a young chef would drop a plate and shatter it. But right now, Han Jing was paying attention to his respected senior.
"Oh nothing really" She scratched her cheek, as Han Jing stayed silent and waited for her to continue. "I an, ? I'm always just fine." She rolled her eyes.
His friend wasn't one to talk a lot about herself, but she probably had a lot to tell if given a chance. At least that was sothing he learned by living primarily with his mother and sisterand also having a landlady who spoke a lot.
A soft sigh escaped Bo Lifen's lips as she shrugged, "Well my younger brother just arrived here from our main house. He's a first year now, ti does fly by quickly." She clapped her hand together and stared at him, a smile on her lips. "I still rember when you were a first year and now you're a graduate. A jobless one at that."
"Oh neat, I know soone who also beca a first year." Han Jing smiled a bit, finding a topic. "She's actually pretty nice, a bit quiet but she's actually talkative when you give her a chance."
"How do you know a first year student?" Her face scrunched up.
He scratched his head, he probably shouldn't have ntioned this. "I t them recently, they're my neighbor in the apartnt."
"Don't creep young won by approaching them Han Jing." The woman wagged a finger at him.
He clicked his tongue and pouted, "Very funny, Bo Lifen. If it works that way, then you're a cougar for talking with when I was a first year."
"What did you say?" She gave him a closed-eye smile.
"Oh nothing! You're always such a feisty person." Han Jing laughed, "I rembered getting my butt wiped out when I tried out for the martial arts club. You were the one in charge under swordsmanship, and I thought I could defeat you."
"You were yelling out nonsensical 'attack nas'." Bo Lifen stared at him with a blank expression. "What were the nas? Death Shadow Scythe and Cutting Claw Swipe and so other nas like that."
Han Jing choked on his tea, "You don't have to remind of that ti."
"You've finally outgrown that phase?" A chuckle escaped her lips.
"Psh. I have better nas now," Han Jing grinned before shuddering a bit. "Seriously that Cutting Claw Swipe is just ugh Death Shadow Scythe could use a little editing and it'd sound like a killer attack na."
"Nobody really shouts their attackthat's just idiotic." Bo Lifen sipped so tea.
He shrugged, "Where's the fun in that? What can you possibly do if you don't shout out the attack na?"
"It'd be called a sneak attack." The older woman shrugged as she took so of the snacks that were available on the table and popped them into her mouth. She continued talking despite that, "Wouldn't that be more fun? Striking your enemy down before they have any clue of what happened."
"Hah! Sneak attack!"
She raised a brow at him, "What? Sneaking is a normal word."
"Alright, good point." Han Jing decided that it wouldn't be of use trying to debate otherwise, besides it might also be a good ti to "So uh... about work." He blurted it out.
She eyed him sharply but flicked a wrist, "Of course let's talk about that. Are you actually ready to work a full ti job? I recounted you needing so ti to recuperate after graduating."
"...Well, uh no. I don't think I can do it full ti due to so project I'm working on." Han Jing scratched the back of his head. This Races: Online was kind of a project right? He was beta-testing it according to the email! "I found a neat little beta-tester job but the rewards for it aren't exactly sure but I'm putting my attention on it. And yet I still need a job, you know a chance to be more responsible?"
"Let's see, you want to work but at a part ti schedule. You'll probably have so irregular hours and even get so days off if you happen to get too tired working on that project of yours?"
"Uh huh well if you don't mind, I anit'd be a salary cut if that happens right?"
"If I let you work, do you know what others will say?"
"That you're such a magnificent lady that's so generous and helpful to people like ."
"Heh. Nice one, Han Jing." Bo Lifen's lips twitched before she stared at him more seriously. "They'd say I'm an idiot who's showing favouritism by employing soone who'd probably slack off. Do you want that?"
"...er, other people's words don't really matter as long as you do what's right?" Han Jing tried to find the right answer. Sohow it was much easier to find answers whenever he was 'Han'.
"Technically yes. But not in this case, it will reflect poorly on if you slack off and get too many benefits than other people here. This is my family's business." She gave him a weary smile. "Are you still going to beg for a job here?"
