Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Lu Jia Bing Ding: ”We’re all out on business trips. You get a raise for looking after a woman, why can’t we?”

Lu Yi: ”Fine. You make me sound useless. You don’t understand how important it is to look after Miss Qin. By protecting Miss Qin, Young Master can rest and heal in Qingcheng Village without distractions during this terrifying annual period of illness. Otherwise, if Young Master worries about Miss Qin, how can he heal?”

Lu Jia Bing Ding: ”...”

Lu Jia concernedly asked: ”How is Young Master recovering this time? Did he have any episodes...”

Lu Yi: ”No. There are no women around him, so it won’t provoke him too severely. And this time Little Miss isn’t around, he doesn’t have to worry about being interrupted halfway...”

Speaking of Lan Qingxin, Lu Yi suddenly realized: ”What’s going on with Little Miss? Young Master forbade us from looking into it, and didn’t mention Little Miss at all in the call just now. Do you all think Young Master is truly so heartless that he wants nothing to do with Little Miss?”

Lu Jia Bing Ding: ”...”

Lu Bing felt particularly sad: ”Ever since Young Master and Miss Qin got engaged, I realized Little Miss’s life was over, completely over. Her life lost all meaning, making her no different from a salted fish...”

The group chat fell silent for a moment.

A moment later, in the midst of silence, Lu Yi suddenly exploded: ”Crap, crap, Miss Qin, she...”

He logged off immediately after saying that.

Because, while chatting, he inadvertently looked up and saw Qin Xin passing by his window.

Moreover, she was coming from outside the entrance of the hot spring villa area, walking inward.

Crap, crap, was Miss Qin sent from the heavens? When did she leave, and why does she appear to be just coming back now?

Lu Yi broke into a cold sweat, dropped his phone, and rushed out the door.

Yet, facing Qin Xin, he didn’t know how to ask: ”Qin, Qin, Miss Qin, you’re just jogging back and forth for fun, right?”

Qin Xin squinted: ”No. I just got back from outside.”

She still had luggage in her hand, lying wouldn’t make sense.

Lu Yi was truly scared. If Young Master knew he failed to protect well, and didn’t even know when Miss Qin went out, he’d probably end up mining in Africa as a laborer.

Fortunately, Qin Xin gave him an out.

She handed him a book: ”I went outside to get a book. It’s freshly printed with the preview for the next season’s story.”

Lu Yi couldn’t breathe.

What Miss Qin handed him was the latest Chapter special of ”The Galaxy & You” by Xinghe, newly published.

Such items that can’t even be bought, Miss Qin just gave it to him like that ahhhhh.

Qin Xin’s expression remained gentle as she lightly smiled: ”If everyone knows I went out for a book, there won’t be enough copies. Understand?”

Lu Yi, who’s not usually stupid, quickly understood: ”Rest assured, Miss Qin, I won’t tell anyone about you going out for a walk today.”

Qin Xin said nothing more.

Instead, she stepped back into the hot spring villa.

After a long journey, feeling a bit tired, she set aside the troublesome issues that had been bothering her for days, choosing to soak in the hot spring first.

Lying in the hot spring pool, counting the few stars in the sky, Qin Xin’s mind went blank, and suddenly she remembered Master Tuantuan saying while soaking in the hot spring, ”Perhaps that man will confess to you.”

Ah, it all comes full circle, it’s impossible not to think about him.

Will he?

Mr. Nalan is always candid, rarely explaining anything.

Will he confess to her?

Or will he come looking for her?

He should be busy looking for his sister now, right?

Has the road between him and her reached its end, with no further paths forward?

As she pondered, Qin Xin closed her eyes.

The wine glass in her hand tipped over into the hot spring pool, and she actually fell asleep.

Behind.

The courtyard gate was gently pushed open with a ”click—”.

A man’s footsteps, from far to near...
