Chapter 460: Chapter 459: Who did Lu Mian go to see?

Chapter 460: Chapter 459: Who did Lu Mian go to see?

Qi Zhen arrived at the entrance of Zitan Pavilion and walked back and forth several times, silently preparing herself mentally.

Xun Xiaoran was the first to see her and thought she was a fan mother of one of the team members, so he asked her with a gentle attitude.

“Hello, may I ask who you’re looking for?” he said as he opened half the door, and Qi Zhen took the chance to peek inside, just in time to see Yun Sang with his arm around Xiao Qimo’s shoulder.

“Are you going to take me back with you this year or not?

Since mom misses me so much, I should at least go see her, right?

I’m not someone who can’t be seen in the light!”

He walked inside with Xiao Qimo while saying this, his tone filled with a mixture of longing and satisfaction.

“To be honest, mom’s cooking skills have truly improved.

The food she makes is even tastier than before!”

The two kept walking towards the hall.

Qi Zhen understood everything when she saw this scene, she understood it all.

Her face changed colors like a palette, as if the sky had fallen and the earth had split.

Just as she had expected!

Her son was almost bending like a mosquito-coil, and she, as his mother, only found out now!

She should have realized earlier; Xiao Qimo never got close to girls, always hanging out with boys.

And that Yun Sang inside, she knew him.

She had treated him like her own son before, never imagining that these two brothers had been together for all these years.

And it was only now that she truly understood the meaning behind the words “our mom.” When she had heard Yun Sang say that before, she hadn’t thought much of it.

Now, upon deep reflection, Qi Zhen started shaking in shock.

She was conflicted, what if her son and Yun Sang truly loved each other—what should she do then?

Xun Xiaoran, seeing the change in the middle-aged woman’s expression, was somewhat baffled but kindly reminded her, “Auntie, who are you looking for?

Do you need help with anything?”

Qi Zhen had nothing left to sort out now and just weakly waved her hand, “It’s nothing, thank you.”

She sat tiredly in the taxi heading back to the Xiao Family residence, her heart aching.

After returning, she promptly explained the situation to Xiao Huazun.

She felt both angry and sad, nothing could be more real than seeing it with her own eyes!

Xiao Huazun consoled her, “No matter what, let’s wait until the New Year and hear what the kids have to say!”

Qi Zhen wasn’t unreasonable.

With the situation having developed this far, she reluctantly nodded her head.

——

Lu Mian saw off her uncle and walked around Yulan Pavilion to Zitan Pavilion.

After the incident with the room, Xiao Qimo took advantage of the lack of air conditioning and heating in Yulan Pavilion and directly arranged for her to stay in Zitan Pavilion.

Lu Mian didn’t think much of it and actually felt fortunate.

Thinking about those pitiable children studying in the cold, she felt grateful for the warmth of the place.

After moving in, she wasn’t idle.

Even though she spent most of her time cooped up in Xiao Qimo’s room, she often took his laptop and trained that group of masochistic team members who came looking for abuse for no reason.

The teammates began to see her as a practice partner, eagerly sending her one-on-one invitations.

Over in the training room…

After finishing an hour of team battle, the teammates all stretched lazily.

The past few days of intensive training had been incredibly exciting.

After each battle with Mr.

Qi, they held meetings to summarize experiences and learn from their mistakes, greatly improving the team’s strength in just a few days.

Especially their hand speed, it was getting faster and faster.

Yun Sang looked at the hand-speed records of all team members and felt very pleased.

After leaving the training room, he made a point of visiting Xiao Qimo’s room.

Xiao Qimo blocked the doorway, puzzled by Yun Sang’s eager expression.

Yun Sang then mischievously squinted his eyes.

Slowly, he pulled his right hand out from his bosom.

He had nothing in his hand, just made a heart shape with his fingers at Xiao Qimo.

Crazy.

Xiao Qimo silently cursed to himself and, turning to see Lu Mian quietly sitting at the desk, hastily shooed Yun Sang out of the room.

“`

Interrupting their private world!

Yun Sang: …

The wickedly assertive man stared at the tightly closed door, cursing in his mind.

He’d come up here with good intentions to thank him for the pen refill, even wanting to offer some praise for his hard work, but the guy had prioritized his lover over friends and kicked him out.

Pfft!

However, after taking a few steps, Yun Sang suddenly realized something – he had noticed that the laptop Lu Mian was using was the very one that had been locked by the team…

After this thought popped into his head, Yun Sang quickly shook it off.

The idea was too fantastical, hardly credible.

Not until Ye Jinwen passed by him did he quickly grab him and ask, “Little Yezi, have you ever used Xiao Qimo’s laptop?”

Ye Jinwen, preoccupied with his own matters, waved his hand dismissively, “Brother Yun, where do I have the mind to use any laptops!

Besides, you know what Qimo is like, he hardly lets others touch his stuff.”

Yun Sang knew this, but the more he thought about it, the more something felt off.

The thought of that cool, detached face popped up again in his mind, and Yun Sang grew even more puzzled.

——

That afternoon, Lu Mian had asked for leave from Yulan Pavilion and also from Xiao Qimo, saying she was going to the bookstore.

She seemed quite forthcoming, but Xiao Qimo was unable to glean any information from her words.

He noticed that she had received a text message today and began asking for leave afterward.

He wanted to press for more information, but in the end, he could only calmly ask if she needed a ride.

Lu Mian smiled and declined.

Then Xiao Qimo’s headache worsened.

He knew Lu Mian had many secrets, and he remembered she’d said she had some friends in Jinjing.

Unfounded vigilance sprouted within him, feeling that she was about to meet someone important.

Was it someone related to the bookmark?

——

Lu Mian had indeed come to the bookstore.

She took a cab to Jinjing’s Xinhua Bookstore, and by this time, it was evening, and the sky had turned completely dark, making the lights inside the store seem even softer and more comforting.

When Lu Mian browsed the bookstore, she was patient.

She headed straight for the romance novels section, her fingertips gently sliding over the spines, selecting them one by one.

Soon after, on the opposite side of the bookshelf, appeared a man as handsome and outstanding as a nobleman from ancient times, brimming with vitality.

Through the gap in the shelves, the man flashed a radiant smile in Lu Mian’s direction.

Lu Mian wasn’t surprised, her own lips curling upwards slightly, “Sikong, you’re here.”

Lu Mian and Sikong Jian had arranged to meet at Xinhua Bookstore.

They rarely saw each other, and even when they did, they could only choose such public places.

He had a special identity, now being one of the president’s men, serving as a diplomatic interpreter, and was highly regarded by the president.

But due to his profession, Sikong Jian didn’t have much freedom.

Even if he could get out for an hour, he still had to file an application and report, not to mention the accompanying guards.

Therefore, arranging a secret meeting was indeed challenging.

The two of them walked very slowly and spoke very softly, not bothering anyone else at all.

Sikong Jian looked at the girl opposite him, his proud and unrestrained eyes tinted with obstinacy.

He pulled out a book, trying to get a better look at the girl’s face.

He pulled out more than a dozen books, holding them in his arms.

With his chin propped on them, his beautiful eyes hooked, he slowly said, “Mianmian, I’ve missed you so much.”

Sikong Jian never hid his feelings, passionate and sincere, both righteous and wicked.

But his words could not elicit a similar response from the girl opposite.

She merely smiled faintly, like the light touch of a dragonfly on water.

Sikong Jian then changed the subject, “You seem to have gained a little weight since last time; your face looks a bit fuller.”

The girl opposite thought of something and chuckled, “I’ve been fed.”

When she smiled, her cheeks became a bit plumper, and Sikong Jian couldn’t resist reaching out to pinch her cheek.

But, with a row of books between them, he barely touched a strand of her hair as Lu Mian moved a small step forward.

Sikong Jian slightly withdrew his hand.

“Did you really come to Jinjing just for physics training?”
