Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Qin Xin couldn’t help but ask, ”Where are those special people’s paper archives hidden?”

Jing Zhichen: ”In the headmaster’s safe at Divine Academy.”

Qin Xin’s eyes deepened: ”Where is the safe?”

Jing Zhichen saw her determination and sighed slightly, revealing everything: ”The safe is not hard to find. It’s right in his office. But the key to the safe is quite special.”

Qin Xin: ”How special?”

Jing Zhichen: ”It’s a Spirit Stone Key, and you need it to open the safe. The headmaster treasures it, even wearing it when he showers.”

Qin Xin squinted: ”As long as he wears it, that’s all good.”

There’s nothing easier than taking something from a person who carries their treasure everywhere with them.

Unexpectedly, Jing Zhichen saw a hint of hunter-like cunning and sharpness in Qin Xin’s eyes, so lively and vivid.

He hesitated a bit before recovering from the whirlpool in her eyes, coughing: ”Ahem, but the biggest problem is the headmaster rarely appears, and there’s hardly any chance to see him throughout the year, much less know his whereabouts.”

Qin Xin: ”...”

This world isn’t like the empire, where you can locate someone’s position and track them using their phone.

In this world, phones are rare, so finding someone is indeed difficult.

Let alone the headmaster, whom she’d never met.

Qin Xin was pondering how to tackle this problem when she discovered that Jing Zhichen had even considered this for her:

”However, though the opportunity is rare, it’s not impossible. There’s a physical competition at the academy soon, and the headmaster will present the award to the champion at the finals, so he’ll surely appear then. If you want to ’borrow’ the Spirit Stone Key, this is the only chance in the near future.”

Jing Zhichen was gentlemanly and tactful; he used ”borrow” instead of ”steal” to describe the mischief she wanted to do.

Qin Xin smiled: ”Alright, then I’ll join this competition.”

Jing Zhichen hesitated a bit: ”This is... a boys’ competition, and it’s all physical activities. I was thinking I’d participate and then find an opportunity to see if I could borrow the key...”

Qin Xin raised her chin slightly: ”Physical activities? Isn’t that just a sports competition; what’s with the gender division? Sign me up.”

The two had chatted for so long, treating everyone else like air.

It left the three beside them, Ao Xinghao and company, quite frustrated.

They wanted to interrupt but couldn’t.

They wanted to break in but had no excuse.

Finally, Si Moyu had a brain wave and stomped hard on Bai Chi’s foot.

Bai Chi, caught off guard by the pain, jumped up: ”My foot!”

Qin Xin finally turned her head and frowned at him.

Si Moyu calmly said, ”He’s clumsy and stepped on his own foot; it might be fractured, Xin, can you check it for him?”

Ao Xinghao: ”Xin, his foot stinks too much, let me check it for you. Just tell me how to fix the bone.”

Bai Chi: ”...”

Ugh, why is it always me sacrificing myself for all of your happiness???

But thinking that this way, he could prevent Jing Zhichen from monopolizing Lan Qingxin, his mood improved: ”Sis, it really hurts, please help me out.”

Qin Xin glared at him speechlessly and tossed him a small medicine bottle: ”If it’s fractured, apply this yourself. If it hurts, listen to the class without talking.”

Bai Chi: ”...” Ouch!

Jing Zhichen kept everything Qin Xin mentioned in mind.

That very day, Qin Xin received the registration confirmation for the physical competition.

Jing Zhichen wasn’t lying; this competition indeed seemed like a boys’ main event, and the events were indescribable...
