“She plays little tricks in front of me, and Seventh Brother actually believes her.

Does she think I’m too careless and naA-ve?

Besides, the one who really shouldn’t be meddling is Lu Mian!

Why is she even staying here?

What use is she?

She’s purely a hindrance to the team’s training, not helping at all and just dragging us down.”

She voiced all her dissatisfaction with Lu Mian.

But Ning Qun didn’t see it that way.

Ning Xiang continued, “Do you know what Lu Mian asked me when I went to find Seventh Brother with my computer?

She asked me, was it only my computer that got hacked?

She doesn’t know anything about this stuff, so why is she asking these questions?

In the end, Seventh Brother even scolded me.

How unjust is that?”

Hearing this, Ning Qun laughed helplessly and wearily, “Yes, you are unjustly treated, unjustly treated because you have a foolish brain.

Do you still not understand what Lu Mian meant?”

“What did she mean?

Does she understand programming or what…” Ning Xiang said disdainfully.

“She meant that if it was only your computer that was hacked, while the others in the team were fine, it indicates that out of the entire team, your computer’s firewall was the weakest and most vulnerable to attack.

Why were the others not hacked by Huan Yan?”

After saying this, Ning Qun fell silent.

A contemplative glint flickered in his eyes.

“…” Ning Xiang’s hand peeling the orange hesitated, and after listening, she angrily tossed the orange peel onto the ground.

Ning Xiang sneered, “So, after all this fuss, she was mocking me?

How interesting she is, with little ability yet full of schemes.

Just wait, one day I will make her pay!”

Ning Qun handed her the laptop back, “You better think about how to improve your own firewall, to avoid getting hacked again.

Now the whole team knows you’re the weakest.

On what basis will you join the Shadow Hunting Team?

On what basis will you take the place of the substitutes and go on the field for them?”

Feeling indignant, Ning Xiang left Ning Qun’s room.

With a final snort, just wait, she would find her chance to strike back!

Lu Mian was going to take an exam today.

They had been training here for 5 days now, and before the New Year, it was like a test to gauge their current level.

She had once promised to get Zhang Yanyan into the top 5.

A third of the students had left because of the makeup theft incident, but she was determined to keep her promise.

Fortunately, Zhang Yanyan had recently caught on and was studying more effectively.

Though Zhang Yanyan always thanked her, she felt that Director Qimo’s physics notebook had played a crucial role.

Ah, such precious notes…

The clothes she wore to the exam today were different from usual, and her classmates, especially the boys, noticed it, their eyes brighter than usual.

It was all black, but it was quite obvious that the shirt underneath had a distinctive pattern drawn on it.

Yes, she was wearing the Shadow Hunting Team’s uniform.

Although they already knew she was closely related to the Shadow Hunting Team, seeing her in the uniform now really made an impression.

If they hadn’t already been thoroughly familiar with the Shadow Hunting Team, they would have suspected she was a member of the team.

The exam went by quickly, and so did Lu Mian’s pace in solving the problems.

Bi Jun knew she was good, but he hadn’t expected her to complete an entire paper in just half an hour and not miss a single question.

Even the last big question, so complex and difficult, took him a long time to think about, while Lu Mian wrote out the answer so casually.

Although this was just a weekly test, Bi Jun knew how difficult these questions were.

He could only stand there with his mouth agape, respectfully watching as Lu Mian left the examination room.

The world of a prodigy was truly incomprehensible.

By the time Lu Mian descended the stairs, ready to return to Zitan Pavilion.

Right after she stepped out the door, she saw Xiao Qimo standing at the entrance of their villa, one hand tucked into his pocket, wearing a simple trench coat that looked crisp and smart on him.

Seeing Lu Mian come out so quickly, Xiao Qimo wasn’t surprised.

He raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, “My timing was pretty accurate.”

Lu Mian couldn’t help but smile, slowly making her way over.

“Have you been waiting for me all this time?”

Lu Mian asked, laughing softly, her tone warm and gentle.

She was vastly different from when they first met.

The faint laughter in her eyes made her come alive.

Xiao Qimo just watched her in the team uniform.

She really suited the outfit, making even such a getup look like an expensive international brand on her.

Especially when he saw her in this outfit, it took him back to those spirited, youthful days when he and Yun Sang were young, passionate, and striving for their dreams.

A swathe of tender memories were stirred in Xiao Qimo’s heart as he lazily pulled his hand from his pocket and gently ruffled her messy hair as she approached.

The tenderness was ultimate.

He replied, “It hasn’t been very long.”

“How long is ‘not very long’?

You didn’t just stay after you dropped me off, did you?”

Her words left Xiao Qimo smiling without a word.

Lu Mian understood.

She didn’t take that ten minutes; she should have been faster, saving him from waiting so long down there.

If this happened again, she’d try to finish the test faster, so she wouldn’t make him wait that long.

“Are you cold?” the girl asked with a smile, showing concern.

She remembered that Xiao Qimo was particularly sensitive to cold.

It was evident from the way he preferred to stay cozied up in his room all day, seldom going out.

The man extended his hand, “Why don’t you feel whether I’m cold?”

His gesture was suggestive and flirtatious yet so naturally smooth.

Lu Mian reached out and lightly touched the back of his hand.

It was a bit cool, but his palm remained warm.

Just as he described, the temperature of his palm was constant, scorching.

Lu Mian quickly withdrew her hand after touching, but Xiao Qimo caught her fingertips.

She startled, looking up at him with a slight warning in her gaze, feisty yet adorable.

Xiao Qimo laughed, then said, “I haven’t yet felt if you’re cold.

After all, Yulan Pavilion is such a place without heating or air conditioning, it must be tough during exams.”

That’s what Xiao Qimo thought.

Luckily, Lu Mian hadn’t been coming over often lately, and even when she did, the time was so short it was negligible.

“So have you felt it now?” Lu Mian shook her fingers, flinging his hand away.

She tucked her somewhat hot fingertips back into her pockets and, while kicking at pebbles on the roadside, followed him back to Zitan Pavilion.

On the way, she asked another question, “What if I were to take three hours on the test?

Would you wait downstairs for three hours?”

Based on his understanding of Lu Mian, Xiao Qimo felt she definitely wouldn’t take three hours; one hour was probably the limit.

Every time there was a test, she’d finish early while others hadn’t completed even a quarter of theirs, she would airily turn in her paper and float away.
