Chapter 462: Chapter 461: What a Coincidence, We Live So Close Chapter 462: Chapter 461: What a Coincidence, We Live So Close Xiao Qimo didn’t miss his expression, “What are you scheming now?”
As if his true intentions had been poked, Yun Zhijuan imdiately put away his emotions and smiled amicably, with even a hint of “the silver is not hidden here” written all over him.
Cough, mainly because he had just discovered sothing quite interesting.
His obedient apprentice Mian Xiaobao also arrived in Jinjing, and had just entered the database to look up information.
Yun Zhijuan looked at the man before him, then at the information received on his phone, and suddenly had an idea.
An old imp is an old imp, Yun Zhijuan’s mind raced with mischievous thoughts.
He picked up the thin bookmark again, and with a deep tone said, “If you want to know more about this bookmark, I can help you look it up, but you’ll have to agree to one condition.”
Xiao Qimo narrowed his eyes, “What condition?”
“Just to et soone, it’s no big deal.”
Xiao Qimo was speechless, seeing right through it.
What do you an no big deal; it’s clearly a matchmaking arrangent!
Why won’t this old man give it a rest!
“Are you that certain the person you’re setting up with is a good match?” Xiao Qimo was quite disdainful of his own senior brother’s choices.
Yun Zhijuan clicked his tongue, “Who am I?
I am the Fortune-telling Master, I’ve calculated it, okay!
Just say if you’ll go or not!”
“You…” Xiao Qimo was truly at a loss; how could he have a senior brother with such a waterlogged brain?
But in order to get more information about the bookmark, after thinking for a long ti, Xiao Qimo reluctantly nodded.
In any case, promise first and then later find a way to get out of it.
Seeing him agree, Yun Zhijuan’s face blood into a grin like that of a chrysanthemum.
Great, the task is halfway accomplished!
——
Xiao Qimo quickly left the IEG building, his heart still not dead to the hope, so he made a call to Lu Mian.
Lu Mian was kicking pebbles by the roadside, strolling leisurely along the street.
At this mont, she had already changed out of her previous outfit, and her appearance and behavior were just like any ordinary high school girl.
She walked innocently along the street, smiling as she answered Xiao Qimo’s call.
He had a very gentle tone, “Where are you?”
Having finished her errands, Lu Mian didn’t hide anything.
She looked up at her surroundings, not very familiar with the area, and casually stated the na of the street she was on.
Xiao Qimo was crossing at the traffic lights, he looked up at the road sign and found it was quite a coincidence.
“I’m nearby, wait for , I’ll co to pick you up.”
Lu Mian thought about it and sent him her location directly.
After they started sharing their locations with each other, they realized they were unexpectedly close to one another, probably only a few hundred ters apart.
They both found it quite amazing.
After picking up Lu Mian, just as the girl settled into the passenger seat,
Xiao Qimo’s expression changed.
He caught the sa scent on her as before!
The one from that night in Wucheng when she went out late!
So, she had seen that man again this ti, right?
Was it the man who gave her the bookmark?
Xiao Qimo had a belly full of questions he wanted to ask, and as he looked sideways at the compliant and tranquil girl, he could only suppress all his frustration.
“You’re not familiar with the streets in Jinjing; next ti you go to et soone, I can take you there.
Even if you feel embarrassed to trouble , you can ask Mo Si or the others to take you.”
Lu Mian fiddled with her phone and nodded sincerely and earnestly, “Then, thank you in advance.”
Xiao Qimo: “…”
She agreed so easily; was she also this well-behaved in front of other n?
Xiao Qimo’s hands gripping the steering wheel gradually tightened, but when he turned his head to look at Lu Mian, he revealed a gentle smile.
All his slyness hidden deep within those unfathomable dark eyes.
——
The Shadow Hunting Team was unusually lively today.
Lu Mian, lounging lazily in Xiao Qimo’s room, was in the middle of their regular training session when the other suddenly went offline and disappeared, followed by an excited commotion coming from the villa.
She stepped out of the room and glanced out the window by the hallway, only to see a group of teenagers surrounding a middle-aged man downstairs, excitedly talking about sothing.
The middle-aged man stroked their heads as if caring for children.
“What’s happening?” Xiao Qimo stood behind her and asked.
“I’m not sure, it looks like the team’s coach has returned.”
Xiao Qimo humd in response, “I’ll go down and take a look.”
Lu Mian didn’t follow him.
Lu Mian had heard about the Shadow Hunting Team’s coach; he was Ning Qun, a retired CTF player who beca famous in the circle and later beca the team’s coach, leading them to the present.
He was known as a dedicated and responsible coach, and the team’s current achievents couldn’t be separated from his efforts.
Judging by how affectionately those teenagers were crowding around him, she could tell how high his status was within the team.
In the villa’s courtyard.
Ning Qun, fresh from a eting, patted the kids’ heads one by one and exchanged a few friendly words with a laugh.
After speaking, his expression suddenly darkened, as fast as flipping a page in a book.
“Alright, that’s enough excitent, everyone back to training!
We’re about to enter a competition, we can’t afford to waste a minute!”
Cheng Feng shalessly lingered, “Coach, you can rest assured, we’ve been training even harder while you were away.
You can ask Mr.
Qimo if you don’t believe .”
“Mr.
Qimo?”
Ning Qun wasn’t aware that Xiao Qimo was there; his gaze shifted to Yun Sang, who nodded, “That’s him.”
Ning Qun got the picture.
“You lot are really lucky!” he murmured.
Cheng Feng didn’t quite understand, but still excitedly said, “Mr.
Qimo trains with us every day.
I feel like my abilities have improved a lot recently.
Coach, do you want to check out my performance later?!”
Xun Xiaoran also ca over, “Coach, everyone has indeed been working very hard lately.
Mainly because Mr.
Qimo is so formidable, everyone is determined to defeat him!”
Ning Qun spoke with a very familiar tone, laughing heartily, “That might be a bit difficult.
But, if he’s training with you, I’m still quite relieved.”
While everyone was talking, Xiao Qimo happened to walk down the stairs.
All the team mbers looked at him with admiring eyes, which made him sowhat puzzled.

He didn’t pay attention to this and walked over to Ning Qun, shaking hands with him, “You’re back.”
“You young man, not bad at all!”
Ning Qun spared no praise.
Ning Qun had been there since the foundation of the team.
Back when the Shadow Hunting Team was established, Xiao Qimo was the captain and Yun Sang the vice-captain; both were the main forces of the team, leading the once-naive youngsters all the way to the international awards stage.
That was the most glorious ti of his life as a coach.
Consecutive grand slams for two years.
This also made the Shadow Hunting Team into the country’s leading team.
But later, Xiao Qimo left the team, Yun Sang stepped up from vice-captain to captain, and the team went quiet for a while.
With the old players leaving in succession, past glories were almost forgotten.
Now, those who remained were all newcors.
Ning Qun shook his head, choosing not to dwell on the past.
Lu Mian didn’t know Ning Qun.
She just glanced from a distance upstairs, gave a slight greeting, and returned to her room.
Ning Qun was quite surprised to see a girl in the team.
Not only surprised, but even sowhat delighted.
