Chapter 469: Chapter 468: Besides Happiness, Anger, Sorrow, and Joy, Her Emotions Also Contain…

Xiao Qimo was somewhat dazed and did not snap out of his reverie for a while after her words.

He very much wanted to believe that her meaning was the same as his own interpretation, but he was unsure whether this straightforward girl really meant it that way.

Seeing him still lost in thought, Lu Mian stretched out her beautiful hand, opened her palm toward Xiao Qimo, and tilted her head, “Don’t want to give me a team uniform?”

“…”

Xiao Qimo was completely defeated by her; his heart had become so soft it was unrecognizable.

He gently grasped her hand, “I’ll give it to you, I’ll give you everything!”

He finally confirmed that she indeed wanted a team uniform to put an end to this matter, as a way to compensate for the past regrets.

Xiao Qimo chuckled to himself, feeling a slow rise of various delightful elements in his heartaEUR”sweetness, fantasy, romanceaEUR|

“What do you want the team uniform for?”

Lu Mian replied with a radiant smile, “Your team’s uniform looks good; I like it.”

She was very aware that things in the past could not be changed; the only certainty was that humans have the power to change the future.

Before girls started appearing around Xiao Qimo, she had never deeply considered some matters.

After girls began to appear, she finally realized that apart from happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy in her emotions, there was also the feeling of milk going souraEUR|

She did not know if this would count as liking someone.

There were still too many things she did not understand, and so much more she needed to learn.

And today, Ning Xiang gave her the first enlightenment lesson.

Lu Mian also gave Ning Xiang a faint smile.

Standing to the side, Ning Xiang, watching this happy reunion scene and seeing Lu Mian’s provocative smile, clenched her fists tightly.

The one who originally wanted to enjoy the spectacle suddenly realized that Xiao Qimo, who used to keep people at a distance, could now be so gentle with a girl, even quite humble.

She even realized that in this matter, she played the role of an unintentional matchmaker; she had actually helped them resolve a misunderstanding!

Angered by her realization, she silently returned to her room.

And there was Ye Jinwen, who had been trembling with fear at the side; he finally breathed a complete sigh of relief.

Only when he reflected on it did he realize: Damn, that dog food was filling!

Back when it was revealed that he was the big boss of the team, Little Mianmian still had that attitude!

Now, when she found out the truth that Qimo was the big boss, not only was she not angry, but she was also so gentle with Qimo?!

Wasn’t that too double-standard?

—

Lu Mian didn’t go to class these few days, and the homeroom teacher, Bi Jun, didn’t dare to manage her much either.

Mainly because Lu Mian didn’t need managing; her grades were so exceptional that she would probably do fine in exams even if she didn’t study.

Besides, Lu Mian now had investor support behind her; there was no other way but to pamper her, which compared to the fate of the other teachers before him, was already quite good.

On the days that Lu Mian skipped classes, she holed up in Xiao Qimo’s room.

Even though she had her own room at the Zitan Pavilion, she still felt that there was a unique scent in Xiao Qimo’s room that she liked, and she felt she gamed better there.

In fact, Ning Xiang had always been silently watching them.

Despite appearing to have fun and be intensely competitive with the brothers downstairs, her thoughts were never far from Xiao Qimo.

Even though the misunderstanding between Lu Mian and Xiao Qimo had been resolved, she understood that Lu Mian and Xiao Qimo were not cut from the same cloth.

Setting aside her background, even her personal abilities did not quite match up to Qimo’s.

She may have participated in physics competitions and seemed to be good at studying physics, but did Lu Mian understand programming?

Was she versed in these things?

Did she understand what they were doing in the training room clamoring over their computer networks?

Perhaps she understood a bit, after all, she had braved the idea of joining this team, but what about now?

She couldn’t bring any benefits to the team, and everyone had to accommodate her, coddle her, which was quite frustrating.

This place was never meant for girls to begin with, she only got in because her dad was the coach, and she was relatively familiar with Seventh Brother and Cloud Brother.

Although Ning Xiang clearly knew her chances with Xiao Qimo were slim, she would rather Xiao Qimo marry a noble family’s daughter than someone like Lu Mian.

If Seventh Brother really had to marry Lu Mian, it would still be better to be with her!

At least she could be a great help to him with the team!

Thinking this, Ning Xiang found training had lost much of its appeal, and she subconsciously pounded on the keyboard, making a loud noise.

Cheng Feng kindly reminded her.

She cracked a joke, cursed a “Get lost,” and left with her laptop in tow.

However, for some reason, Ning Xiang found her laptop screen turn black halfway through, followed by a string of unfamiliar code.

As someone working in cyber security, she immediately determined her computer had been hacked, and it was a sophisticated hack at that.

She wasn’t panicked, it seemed she thought of something and even smiled, quickly took her laptop, and went to find Xiao Qimo upstairs.

Ning Xiang knocked on Xiao Qimo’s door, the door was unlocked, so she went straight in.

The room’s temperature was comfortable, filled with a light and elegant freshness.

A few steps in, she saw Xiao Qimo and Lu Mian sitting face to face.

Each had a computer in front of them, busy with whatever they were doing.

Even though they weren’t talking, the ambiance between them was unexpectedly good,

as if they had known each other for a long time, and didn’t need to speak to avoid awkwardness, simply lifting their eyes to see the other ensured they weren’t alone.

This sight was painful for Ning Xiang, but she quickly pulled up a smile and sauntered over to Xiao Qimo.

“Seventh Brother, help me out!”

Her tone was hearty, as if nothing had happened, and when she looked at Lu Mian, she greeted her warmly.

“Lu Mian!”

Her enthusiasm only made Lu Mian seem cooler and even less polite, Lu Mian lazily glanced up, disinclined to respond, and Xiao Qimo didn’t even notice; he himself hardly paid any attention to Ning Xiang.

“Seventh Brother, take a look, this isn’t about me, it’s a challenge from our rival Huan Yan!”

They all knew who Huan Yan was.

Huan Yan was the new captain of Shadow Hunting Team’s old rivals, Team 1515, rumored to be strong, their ace for the upcoming CTF contest after the year.

Ning Xiang said with some gravity, “Seventh Brother, now that they’ve hacked my computer, isn’t it the same as slapping your face?

Slapping the face of our Shadow Hunting Team?

Are we just going to let this go?

I can’t swallow this; if it comes down to it, I’ll call the brothers to attack their server!”

She spoke with gusto, but Xiao Qimo had no reaction at all.

It was Lu Mian on the other side who casually shifted her sitting position and slowly looked up, asking, “Was it only your computer that got hacked?”
