"Thank you."
Si Limo takes the roast at and eats it elegantly.
The atmosphere is quite good. Qiao Xiaren cooked a pot of at soup. The delicious flavour of the at was almost entirely seeped into the broth. Everyone was thoroughly enjoying their al, with so even taking the initiative to perform a few acts.
Xiaren notices that their gaze would occasionally sneak over towards her, their eyes filled with ambiguous glances. Unfortunately, the man beside her didn't seem to look up much.
"The girl's cooking skills are indeed excellent." The people in the kitchen couldn't help but praise, "If you were one of us, we would be so lucky."
At this, Zhao Jiashi suddenly seed to rember: "School is starting again soon, isn't it?"
Qiao Xiaren nodded. As she was nearing the end of her senior high school, the course load was a bit heavier. The school in town would start classes early.
Si Limo, with his usual elegant deanor, took a sip of the soup from his bowl and looked at the girl beside him: "Pack up your clothes and things when you get back, I'll take you down the mountain in a few days."
Perfect timing, his task of staying in Shanshui Town had been completed. His father had instructed him to return to Capital City imdiately, citing urgent matters.
What?
Including Zhao Jiashi, those around the pot seed surprised.
Even though Zhao Jiashi had the inkling that Si Limo would help Xiaren with her studies, he never expected that he would be so direct, without even asking for Qiao Xiaren's thoughts.
Qiao Xiaren, who had been prepared, didn't share the sa surprise as the rest, and simply nodded her head lightly.
Originally, she had intended to help Si Limo's sister with this very hope in mind - that she could break out of Shanshui Town, attend a prestigious high school, and ensure her entry into Emperor Capital Film Academy.
As the night grew darker, everyone finished and returned to their own groups after the monitor's whistle signal.
The sound of uniform footsteps echoed as several groups returned to their tents. Three hours later, these soldiers would start executing a task of night march under load.
"Go back and rest." Si Limo stood up. He could see that Qiao Xiaren was sowhat tired.
Xiaren stretched gently, giving off an enchanting vibe in an instant. However, her black eyes were filled with a hint of coolness. Si Limo shifted his gaze from her and had soone escort her back to her tent.
The night passed without words.
The next morning, Qiao Xiaren woke up to find no one else around.
She packed up so of her things and slung the backpack swiftly onto her shoulders, striding briskly towards the foot of the mountain.
"What's going on? This, this, this... The Star Luck Value actually increased! What's happening?"
Xiaotian was stunned. What's going on? Why? Just why?
She was desperate to know what great thing occurred yesterday! Why did her Star Luck Value increase by 500 points upon waking up this morning?!
How did she miss such a glorious mont last night?! In frustration, the system started counting the Star Luck Value in hand, tightly clutching it, as if afraid it would suddenly disappear.
Such happiness!
Xiaotian's sharp voice exploded in her head, giving Qiao Xiaren a headache. Irritated, Xiaren snapped, "Shut up! You're so noisy!"
Xiaotian felt wronged: "I just want to know!"
Hearing the pitiful system, Xiaren imdiately imagined a hypersensitive kitten demanding attention. Well...
"Have the nerve to ask ? Last night when I called you out, you pretended to be dead?" Qiao Xiaren began retrospecting. If it weren't for Si Limo last night, she might have been in danger.
Xiaotian beca even more aggrieved: "Host, though I can give you advice most of the ti, there are certain mysteries I'm not supposed to reveal. Just like you, Si Mister's fate is unique, it's not appropriate for to pry. Besides, at that ti, you didn't even have a single point of Star Luck Value. Even if I ca out, I could only watch you getting beaten..."
Qiao Xiaren: "..." Seriously, who speaks like this?
