Chapter 621: Chapter 621: What’s the Big Issue?
Lu Xi tidied up as he chuckled, “I said I wouldn’t resort to underhanded ans; I’m just waiting for the press conference.”
His straightforwardness made Lu Mian feel wistful on his behalf.
Big brother’s character is sowhat stubborn.
He wants to rely on his own abilities for everything, even if opportunities and connections are handed to him, he doesn’t care to use them.
“It’s just, those contestants who knew the competition content in advance might have nearly finished designing the entire ga.”
Lu Xi paused in his motion of arranging his paintbrushes, then spoke with a sense of release, “It doesn’t matter, you trust in brother’s strength.”
Having chosen this path from the start, he had no regrets.
But Mianmian kept asking him this question, and he worried that she might be thinking too much.
“Mianmian, you don’t have to worry about , and you shouldn’t feel guilty either.”
Previously, Sheng Zijin had used the competition content to blackmail him into persuading Mianmian to co to Jinjing for school.
He had taken a stand, choosing Lu Mian.
To this day, he hadn’t felt a hint of regret.

Especially seeing Lu Mian becoming increasingly humane, he knew his choice was right.
No one is born with a heart of stone.
And Mianmian’s heart was never a stone that couldn’t be ward.
On the contrary, hers was softer and more transparent than most.
How could such a good Mianmian be tarnished?
How could such a good Mianmian be carelessly handed over to those n!
Mianmian is only twenty, so pure and reserved, how could she handle those noble-born, powerful young masters?
And those n, do they truly love and protect her?
Especially soone like Xiao Qimo, crowned with the Xiao Family na, seated at the top of the pyramid, would he treasure Mianmian like a jewel?
What if he was just playing around on a whim?
The more he thought about it, the more it infuriated him.
“Mianmian, have you been busy lately?
If not, co to my room and keep company while I paint,” Lu Xi asked with a heavy tone.
Lu Mian’s mouth slightly opened before her words blurted out faster than her thoughts, “Busy.”
“What are you busy with?
Hasn’t the physics competition ended?” Even if it ant being a “bad brother”, Lu Xi insisted on scrutinizing Xiao Qimo’s feelings for Lu Mian.
“I…” Lu Mian quickly made up an excuse, “I haven’t finished my winter break howork yet.”
“Then that’s perfect, you can do your howork here in my room.”
Lu Mian: …
With heavy steps, Lu Mian left Lu Xi’s room, paused for two seconds at the door, and her toes subconsciously moved towards Xiao Qimo’s room.
Suddenly, a soft cough from Lu Xi ca from behind, and she withdrew her left foot, forcefully changing directions, heading back to her own room.
Xiao Qimo stood at the doorway of his room, weakly, pitifully, and helplessly watching her turn around and leave, sorrow flowing backwards into a river.
How to win over this tough uncle!
It’s too difficult.
——
The arrival of Lu Xi brought a different atmosphere to the unchanging Shadow Hunting Team.
The team mbers all knew that the golden backer’s uncle was coming to supervise, and they sneakily waited to watch the drama amidst their busy training.
When Lu Mian arrived at the training room, she even heard those mbers betting privately “how many days or years it will take Mr.
Qimo to deal with the uncle”.
Lu Mian thought they were so boring.
Director Qimo was so impressive, there was no need for years.
She greeted the team mbers one by one and went straight to Yun Sang.
Yun Sang was in the middle of a match when she patted his shoulder.
“Go away, I’m at a crucial mont here.”
Yun Sang shrugged his shoulders without moving his eyes off the screen, his hands on the keyboard moving so fast that only afterimages were seen.
Lu Mian leaned over his screen and pointed at so code, signaling him to focus his attack there.
The signature delicate, fair fingers.
Yun Sang belatedly realized and took off his headphones, stopping his actions.
“`
“Sis, it’s you.
I thought it was those kids, don’t take it personally!”
The teammates: Smiling with a hidden MMP.
Lu Mian smiled, “I just wanted to ask if the 1515 Team and Huan Yan haven’t been troubling you lately?”
“Him?
He hasn’t even sorted out his own ss, how would he have ti to bother us?” Yun Sang raised his eyebrows, using “us” in a way that genuinely included Lu Mian as one of their own.
However, in the midst of this conversation, Yun Sang had already lost the ga, twirling the headset in his hands, his gaze rather indifferent.
The teammates: Smiling with a touch of bitterness.
If this had been before, losing one ga ant Yun God would have to win a hundred to make up the win rate.
Tis have changed, huh.
“Though, I’ve heard he’s been particularly keen on finding Number Thirteen lately.
Because of the scandal, he spent quite a bit to pull the hot search and leverage relationships, hoping to win back so bounty and regain his reputation with this issue.”
“The better for him.” Lu Mian’s lips curved into a mischievous smirk, her expression teasing.
Yun Sang didn’t understand what she ant, “What’s up?”
“Nothing.” Lu Mian didn’t elaborate further and certainly didn’t take Huan Yan too seriously, “Oh, and I wanted to ask, do you know any other top hackers besides Number Thirteen?”
Lu Mian had always wanted to find the hacker who attacked the farm, but the opponent had concealed themselves perfectly, leaving no trace, proving to be a formidable adversary.
So she ca to seek information from Yun Sang.
Yun Sang fiddled with his headset cord and thought carefully, “Don’t know any.
Are you having so trouble?”
He didn’t know of anyone who could best Lu Mian.
“No, it’s nothing serious.” Lu Mian shook her head and was about to leave.
Yun Sang chuckled lightly, muttering softly, “With you, what qualifies as ‘serious’ anyway?”
Lu Mian heard him, and even turned her head back to respond.
“There is indeed sothing serious.”
“What is it?”
“Director Qimo and my cousin…
sigh.”
The girl walked away with a look of worry and frustration.
Yun Sang: …nothing’s as big as your boyfriend!
——
Lunchti.
The team players were eating at a separate table, while Xiao Qimo, Lu Mian, Yun Sang, and Lu Xi sat at another table on their own.
Xiao Qimo naturally sat with Lu Mian, but Lu Xi unexpectedly wedged himself between them, separating Xiao Qimo and Lu Mian.
The seating was in a square booth.
Although the sofa was spacious enough for four, squeezing three people on one side and leaving Yun Sang sitting alone on the opposite end was quite awkward.
Xiao Qimo had no choice but to sit across from them.
Patience is key to the grand sche of things, he understood.
Xiao Qimo wouldn’t fuss over these matters and had thoughtfully organized the lunch dishes—so Lu Mian liked and so in Lu Xi’s preferred taste, ensuring everyone was accommodated.
The atmosphere at the table was a tad more restrained than before.
Even though Lu Xi didn’t show any overt hostility, Xiao Qimo and Yun Sang couldn’t help feeling a bit tense.
Yun Sang was better off, as he took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Lu Xi.
“Mr.
Lu, where are you currently employed?”
Lu Xi had a reasonably good impression of Yun Sang and replied, “I’ve set up my own ga design studio.”
“You must be very talented.”
“Thanks.
It’s just a small workshop, really.
My biggest wish is to collaborate with Sufeng.
A big company, big productions, and sufficient funding support can really produce high-quality ga works.”
Hearing the words Sufeng, Xiao Qimo’s eyes narrowed slightly, a spark of pleasure inside.
