Chapter 200: Chapter 199: The Spirit of Competition from Xiao Qimo (Additional Release)
Lu Mian rembered that her heartbeat hadn’t been this rapid in a long ti.
The last ti it was this fast was probably when she had just co back from that place, on the brink of death and rescued with an adrenaline shot.
Now sothing was wrong.
Her body was reacting abnormally, and she couldn’t stay any longer.
Lu Mian analytically assessed her physical condition, her facial features tightly drawn, breathing sowhat rapid.
Xiao Qimo had his timing tightly controlled, and just before she could no longer bear it, he pulled out a clear pencil case from the pocket next to her seat.
Inside were pens, rulers, erasers, 2B pencils, and other exam supplies.
He sat up straight, his expression unhard as he handed it to Lu Mian.
Lu Mian’s dilated pupils refocused.
The space around her no longer held Xiao Qimo’s scent, and now she seed to feel less discomfort, her heart rate slowly decreasing.
So, was Xiao Qimo just looking for sothing just now?
That could be deadly.
Had it been before, Lu Mian might have found his actions baffling, but now she took them silently, suppressing the strange emotions inside her, and nodded obediently, “Thank you, Director Qimo.”
Xiao Qimo smiled softly, his thin lips curving up slightly, not in a hurry about the exam ti.
“Thank for what?”
Lu Mian thought carefully, took a deep breath, and answered.
“Thank you for leading to find Guo Zihao, for standing up for to fight for the ti to save Guo Zihao, and for your stationery.”
It was rare for her to say thank you so seriously, and Xiao Qimo felt comforted.
His eyes narrowed slightly, he pushed up his glasses and changed the position of his long legs, his tone hesitating in a way that didn’t match his deanor.
Lu Mian watched him with blinking eyes.
He paused, “Well, actually my dad and my mom are pretty nice, too…”
“Hmm?” Lu Mian didn’t catch his aning.
The driver Ye Jinwen in the front seat, who had been pretending to be invisible, suddenly let out a snort of laughter.
Their family’s Seventh Brother’s competitive spirit was maybe a bit too strong—wasn’t it just because little Mianmian had complinted Guo Zihao’s parents?
Tsk.
However, there was one thing he had to admit, the Xiao Family’s uncle and aunt were indeed nice, and since he was a child, he loved to hang out at the Xiao house, which is how he and Xiao Qimo beca such close brothers.
This point… might beco a bonus for the Seventh Brother in the future.
Lu Mian, puzzled, glanced at Ye Jinwen, then looked back at Xiao Qimo.
Xiao Qimo didn’t plan to explain, pointing at the ti on his wristwatch, “Go take your test.”
“Okay.”
Lu Mian didn’t linger and got out of the car, holding the pencil case, ready to close the car door when she rembered sothing.
She turned back, leaning against the car door with one hand and smiling at Xiao Qimo.
Xiao Qimo coughed awkwardly.
Lu Mian’s lips curved up in that unruly, mischievous way of hers, speaking sincerely, “Today… you were pretty handso.”
After speaking, she laughed lightly and closed the car door, cutting off their line of sight.
Through the car window, Xiao Qimo watched her slender figure fading into the distance, an open laugh spilling from his throat, the curve of his mouth growing larger and larger.
He had been complinted.
Now only the two of them were left in the car.
Ye Jinwen ca back to life with a howl.
“Seventh Brother, what about ? Am I not handso? I did the most work after all…” he scratched his head, “Had I known, I would have pretended to be Wucheng’s Guardian God too, darn it!”
Xiao Qimo gave him a kind and friendly smile.
“…” Ye Jinwen instantly closed his mouth and gripped the steering wheel.
A mont later, Ye Jinwen thought of sothing.
“Seventh Brother, there’s sothing we need to pay attention to,” Ye Jinwen’s voice was much more serious than before, “The kidnapper from two years ago seems to be on the move again. Mianmian might be in danger…”
Xiao Qimo’s mood also turned heavy, his gaze still fixed in the direction where Lu Mian had disappeared.
He calmly adjusted his glasses.
“It’s ti to make a trip back to the organization.”
