Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Qin Xin was admiring the scenery when Nalan Ye Jue suddenly asked, startling her for a moment. She retorted, ”Should I remember this place?”

The enormous hospital had been transformed into such a serene and refined retreat, like a paradise, clearly a place only for the wealthy and noble to stay.

The Qin Family was just considered moderately wealthy, with little opportunity to come here for a retreat.

She herself could afford it, but she simply didn’t have the time.

Nalan Ye Jue’s eyes darkened slightly. Instead of pursuing the question, he held her hand and led her inside. ”Let’s go in and take a look. The flowers inside are very beautiful.”

The companions quickly followed, praising the retreat hidden in the mountains along the way:

”What a beautiful plum forest, it’s probably the most beautiful plum grove in Imperial City. It’s like a fresh snowfall, the whole tree is elegantly adorned.”

”Tsk tsk, Brother Hu, your literary talent is improving. So, what do you think that cherry blossom grove over there looks like?”

”Of course, it looks like a beauty’s lips! So pink and delicate, I could lie there all day without coming out.”

”Hey, don’t corrupt Little Zhenzhen, cherry blossoms are so pure!”

”A beauty’s lips are pure too, Song Anjing, maybe you’re overthinking. Oh, look over there at the Purple Cloud Shirt, it’s incredibly robust! Manly! Don’t you girls think it looks just like a man’s waist?”

Everyone: ”...”

From now on, I can’t look at the splendid Purple Cloud Shirt directly.

They followed Nalan Ye Jue to a cliff midway up the mountain, where a three-story red building was perched at the edge. The scenery was both steep and breathtaking, especially the semi-open-air restaurant on the first floor, visible through the glass curtain, exuding elegance and luxury.

Hu Yi couldn’t help but exclaim again: ”They say a beautiful woman is very dangerous, but it turns out the most dangerous scenery is also the most beautiful place.”

Everyone held their breath: ”...”

So Brother Hu, your aesthetics are all tied to women, huh.

Song Anjing rolled her eyes at Hu Yi, then pulled Qin Xin aside: ”Xinxin, shall we take a photo together here? This clearly is the building where the villa hosts its distinguished guests. Though we can’t enter, it’s good to have a photo as a souvenir.”

Nalan Ye Jue casually pointed to the elegant seating on the first floor: ”No rush, I reserved it for lunch. You can take pictures freely.”

Everyone held their breath again.

Brother is really a... big shot.

Being able to spend time in such a high-end retreat is rare enough, let alone having a meal in the building meant for distinguished guests.

”Sister Xin, what’s up with your brother?” Hu Yi took the chance while Qin Xin and Song Anjing were taking photos to run over and quietly ask Qin Xin.

Qin Xin: ”He’s just... my brother.”

Hu Yi: ”No, I mean, what does he do for a living?”

Qin Xin: ”Uh... he researches robots, I guess.”

Hu Yi stroked his chin: ”Whoa, a scientist? Our empire’s scientists earn that much now? Studying hard really pays off, right Sister Xin?”

Ao Xinghao swept past Hu Yi, pulling him away from Qin Xin: ”Stop asking, you silly.”

Nalan Emperor, is he just an ordinary scientist?

Never mind, these fools don’t recognize a big shot, treating him like the friendly older brother next door.

Qin Xin was pulled along by Song Anjing and the companions, taking numerous photos outside the cliffside restaurant.

They were nearly out of phone battery when Nalan Ye Jue lightly cleared his throat: ”Xin, it’s time to eat.”

Only then did everyone realize: ”Right, right, Sister Xin, let’s eat first, and we can continue taking photos after.”

Sister Xin has a small appetite; eating is important.

With ordinary food, she just takes a taste, usually just a small bite before she stops eating.
