Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Qin Xin gazed at the meticulously crafted phone case.

Xiangxiang’s hand froze in mid-air, hesitating to lower it, and Qin Xin didn’t take it. Her little face gradually turned pale: ”Miss, is it too ugly...?”

Her eyes reddened, wanting to cry but trying hard to hold back.

In that moment, Qin Xin slightly lifted her hand. Though she didn’t take the phone case, she handed over the phone.

Xiangxiang turned her sadness into joy, swiftly removed the old case, and replaced it with the new one: ”Miss, did you just return from outside? Shall I make you something to eat?”

Qin Xin’s expression remained indifferent: ”No need.”

Xiangxiang had just touched her phone; she hadn’t taken the chance to do anything sneaky, which Qin Xin noticed, but eating was unnecessary.

The atmosphere was a delicate feeling.

Something was always different from before.

”Well, Miss, just give me any orders whenever you need. Oh, by the way, Miss, Anjing hasn’t been eating much ever since you left and has lost several pounds. God Ao and the others set off to find you a couple of days ago. Did you meet them?”

”No.”

Qin Xin didn’t expect her friends to be so worried about her disappearance.

Her heart was again filled with complex emotions.

Mysteriously, she arrived in Lan Qingxin’s world, as if orchestrated by the gods, but what was the deeper meaning of this arrangement?

She thought she could easily abandon Lan Qingxin’s identity, but unexpectedly, she was unknowingly tied down by so much.

Is she destined not to escape completely?

Qingcheng Village.

Bamboo courtyard.

Three mythical creatures gathered in the courtyard, each reporting their findings from probing the village early in the morning.

Hu Yi: ”Let me start, I set off really early this morning and had such a great chat with the aunt washing clothes by the creek at the village entrance. They all praised me for being handsome and speaking sweetly. I even helped them wring out all the sheets. They said if looking for a son-in-law, it should be someone like me, a man with a strong body, with energy, haha!”

Ao Xinghao, with an indifferent face: ”Dummy, I asked you to look for Sister Xin, and you’re busy being someone’s son-in-law?”

Hu Yi coughed: ”No, Ao Chongchong, you don’t understand, the aunt is the soul of the village. By befriending the aunts, what can’t we inquire about?”

Ao Xinghao: ”So, what did you find out?”

Hu Yi: ”I’m just getting started, you can’t just inquire about other women with them right after getting along, they’d be upset!”

Ao Xinghao took a deep breath and decided to give up on this fool, turning to Huo Zhen: ”Little Zhenzhen, what intelligence did you gather?”

Huo Zhen: ”Village chief.”

Ao Xinghao: ”What do you mean?”

Huo Zhen: ”Only the village chief knows where Sister Xin is.”

Ao Xinghao: ”Where?”

Huo Zhen: ”The village chief went to town yesterday. No one else knows.”

Though Huo Zhen was brief, Ao Xinghao understood and nodded: ”The information you have aligns with mine. I knocked on several doors, found out there’s a Divine Doctor who has provided divine medicine and healed everyone. People say she is the disciple of Master Tu at the village end, but no one knows her name, only the village chief knows a little.”

Hu Yi exclaimed: ”Master Tu? Isn’t he the owner of our little courtyard? Truly a god-like character...”

After mulling for a while, he suddenly felt something was amiss: ”Oh my! Master Tu’s disciple? That means he actually knows the person we’re looking for is his disciple, yet he pretends not to? Damn, that’s no god, he’s a cheat!”
