Although it was just a brief touch, it made Xiao Qimo’s heart bloom like spring, instantly thawing.

“Qimo baby, thank you.”

She said these words in her original voice.

Before he had time to savor it, the girl released him and hurriedly fled, her figure shy and flustered.

Xiao Qimo raised his hand and touched the corner of his lips that she had kissed, smiling.

Yes, he was a baby who was especially easy to please.

Just that one kiss was enough to make him walk through fire and water for her.

Lu Mian returned to her room and quickly packed her luggage.

She only brought two sets of clothes for changing, both of which were simple and lightweight for easy movement.

She also brought some essential personal items: such as the protective amulet Yuanyuan gave her, the Talisman Card Su Lao gave her, painkillers…

In the end, she reluctantly decided to take only two of her beloved romance novels.

After packing her belongings, she simply stuffed everything into her usual black backpack, which was completely sufficient.

Having packed up swiftly, she heard Xiao Qimo making a phone call, seemingly arranging the itinerary.

She didn’t go back in to disturb him and instead turned to the training room.

Inside the training room, Yun Sang and the other team members were undergoing tactical training.

Lu Mian walked silently, and some teammates noticed her and greeted her with their eyes.

She didn’t disturb them and simply sat down at an available computer.

Yun Sang had helped and supported her many times, and she remembered it all.

Before leaving on the trip, why not give him a small gift?

Whatever Lu Mian did on the computer, by the time Yun Sang finished a match and got up, he walked toward her.

“Sister, I heard from Mo Si that you guys are going on a trip?”

“Yeah, we’re going out for a while.”

“So urgently?

Did you encounter some problem?” Yun Sang asked with concern.

He casually sat on the armrest of Lu Mian’s chair, his straight and long legs especially eye-catching.

“We did encounter a problem.

I don’t know what the situation is right now, we’ll see when we get there!”

Yun Sang raised an eyebrow: “How long will you be gone?”

Just as Lu Mian was about to speak, a scholarly figure walked into the entrance of the training room.

Xiao Qimo strode in with long steps and arrived in front of Lu Mian in three steps, gently pushing away the obstructive Yun Sang with the palm of his hand.

Yun Sang clicked his tongue.

He wasn’t polite at all, simply draping his arm over Xiao Qimo’s shoulder, leaning lazily against the side of the scholarly man.

Xiao Qimo: aEUR|

“We plan to be gone for ten days.

After we return in ten days, we’ll go back to Wucheng,” Xiao Qimo said, seemingly also speaking for certain others to hear.

The teammates were reluctant to see them go.

“Mr.

Qimo, are you leaving so soon?”

“Stay a few more days, our preliminary matches are about to start!”

Yun Sang always felt that Xiao Qimo did it on purpose, intentionally taking Lu Mian on a business trip, intentionally arranging such a tight schedule.

Who is he guarding against!

Lu Mian calculated the days; if they were on the trip for ten days, school would have already started by then.

“Director Qimo, let’s try to return in five days.

After we’re back, I’ll need to arrange things with my uncle and we have to go back to school for classes,” she said earnestly, seemingly unaware of how incongruous the words “go to class” sounded coming from a big shot like her.

Xiao Qimo: aEUR|

Finally taking her out and it’s only for five days?

“Alright, I’ll listen to you.

We’ll play it by ear when the time comes.”

“Okay.”

Yun Sang draped lazily over Xiao Qimo’s shoulder, looking somewhat reluctant, “Sis, you must come back soon.

I’m still waiting for you to come watch the games!

Also, don’t forget about our sworn sibling ceremony!”

Xiao Qimo shot him a cold look.

Yun Sang pretended not to see.

“Yun God, I’ve prepared a little gift for you.

Remember to check for it.”

Lu Mian smiled and then walked away with Xiao Qimo.

Yun Sang: My sister sent him a little gift?

Xiao Qimo: She gave Yun Sang a gift!

aEUR”aEUR”

The destination of Lu Mian and Xiao Qimo’s trip was Luoxia Town.

Just hearing the name made one inevitably think of the verse, “The setting sun and the solitary wild goose fly together; the autumn water shares a scenic hue with the vast sky.”

“Luoxia Town is a rustic and somewhat underdeveloped small town.

The scenery is alright, mostly natural landscapes.

The locals mainly rely on agriculture and animal husbandry for their living.

Shopping isn’t very convenient, so if you need anything, make a list, and I’ll have them prepare it.”

On the plane, Xiao Qimo was introducing the place to Lu Mian.

Lu Mian waved her hand, “It’s okay, I’m not too demanding about my surroundings.”

She had experienced even worse environments; how could she worry about these?

However, this time Director Qimo really left in a hurry, and not only did he not bring Ye Jinwen, but Mo Si and Mo Nie weren’t with them either.

For the entire journey, it was just her and Director Qimo.

She was used to being on her own, but she wondered if someone like Director Qimo could get used to days without subordinates.

Zitan Pavilion.

After Lu Mian and Xiao Qimo left, the team’s base felt empty and deserted.

It was as if something was missing, and during training, everyone seemed listless.

Especially Yun Sang.

He was as perfunctory as one could get.

He always felt that Xiao Qimo had intentionally taken Lu Mian away, especially to isolate her from him.

Pah!

Stinky man!

“Captain?

S God?” When Yun Sang zoned out, Vice Captain Xun Xiaoran patted his shoulder, “What’s on your mind?”

Yun Sang snapped back to reality, “Ah, what’s up?”

“You should check today’s Weibo.

Team 1515 is in trouble.”

“Oh?”

Yun Sang nodded, opened Weibo lethargically, and indeed, he saw #Huan Yan, Captain of Team 1515# trending on Weibo.

He clicked in, quickly glanced through, and burst out laughing.

The content of the hot search essentially conveyed: Huan Yan spent the night with three girls in one hotel room, and only left the next morning (after changing clothes).

Below were 9 high-definition photos.

The three girls were all Internet celebrities, and coupled with the fame of Team 1515 and Huan Yan, the trend quickly rose.

Since the evidence was so clear-cut, netizens uniformly started slamming them.

The backlash escalated from boycotting Huan Yan to boycotting Team 1515.

After reading it, Yun Sang felt something was odd.

“Who leaked their dirt?”

Xun Xiaoran thought for a moment, “It was a rookie reporter who said they had more dirt.

They couldn’t stand Huan Yan’s actions and took the initiative to expose it.

The photos aren’t rare; our team got them before but chose not to use such tricks.

It’s just that Huan Yan has been too arrogant, and many don’t like him.”

“That’s not right…” Yun Sang shook his head, “The photos were from last year.

Why did this rookie reporter choose to leak them as we’re approaching the competition?

Besides, both Huan Yan and Lolita Lucy on their team are programming wizards; they could easily have quashed this evidence.

So why did it leak out?”

Xun Xiaoran didn’t understand but was quite delighted.

“Captain, regardless, this can’t be blamed on us.

Huan Yan’s own misconduct has caught up with him.

Now the internet is filled with voices condemning him, pressuring him to drop out of the competition.

If Huan Yan wants to clear his name, he’ll either have to solve a challenging global problem, assist Interpol in catching the elusive Number Thirteen, or be stricken with a terminal illness with little time left that forces him to spend the night with three cousins!”

He finished with a chuckle, “I think except for finding the elusive Number Thirteen, he wouldn’t be able to accomplish any of the others.”
