  The man tapped his fingers on the box as if he were thinking. After a while, he said. “You, handle it.”


  The bald man was respectful. “Aye!”


  The black sedan left Seal Palace.

  The next afternoon.

  The snow had not stopped and now the floor was covered in a thick white blanket. He Yidu and Qin Fang went to pick Gu Si up. This time, Gu Si did not feel reluctant at all. In fact, he looked forward to it. It was not because he had gotten familiar with them but rather that there was no longer any place for him to be.

  Gu Si flipped his baseball cap around and tightened it around his head. Then, he swung his backpack over his shoulder and looked at Gu Mang. “Sis, I’m leaving.”


  Gu Mang stuck both her hands in her pocket and stood casually. She raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly and raised her chin. Her attitude was rather heartless.

  Gu Si sighed helplessly and turned around. He walked to the car and threw his bag in. Before he got in the car, he paused. Then, he turned around and ran to hug Gu Mang tightly.

  Gu Mang lowered her head and put her hands on his head. In a low voice, she said. “Train hard.”


  Gu Si uttered a “mm” in a gloomy tone and let go of her waist. Then, he turned to Lu Chengzhou who was holding an umbrella for her. “Take good care of my sis.”


  Lu Chengzhou nodded. “If you want to learn anything, let Qin Fang arrange it for you.”


  Gu Si’s IQ was clearly higher than most people’s. He could not train in the same method as he did before.

  “Got it.” Gu Si looked sorrowful and got onto the car.

  He Yidu said, “Brother Cheng, we are leaving.”


  Lu Chengzhou uttered an assent with one hand in his pocket. Qin Fang bid them goodbye and got in the passenger seat.

  Once Gu Si left, Lu Chengzhou sent Gu Mang back to school.

  Sunday afternoon, the students who stayed in the dormitories all returned to school. There were a lot of people along the stairs.

  When the girls saw Gu Mang, their expressions changed such that they were both fearful yet respectful of her. They subconsciously walked by the side and did not dare to speak.

  “Gu Mang, you’re back.” Du Xue was walking down the stairs with a bag of trash in hand.

  Gu Mang looked at her and nodded.

  Du Xue looked around and ensured that everyone was far away from her. Then, she moved close to her. “They’re cooking hotpot in the dorm, join us later.”


  Ming City High School was a rather aristocratic school. The electrical safety was pretty good and many students would cook some food discreetly.

  “Ah,” Gu Mang answered lazily as she raised her eyebrows.

  Du Xue smiled and pointed outside. “You can go back first. I’ll go up when I’m done taking the trash out.”


  Gu Mang uttered an acknowledgment and went upstairs. The moment she returned to her room she smelled the strong aroma of hotpot.

  Shen Huan was preparing the ingredients for everyone. Seeing Gu Mang return, she greeted Gu Mang. Then, she hurried over to close the door before the smell went out and was noticed by others.

  Gu Mang had come back just in time to have dinner with them. She hung her baseball cap up and put her bag on her bed. Then, she took off her jacket.

  Meng Jinyang brought out a plate of vegetables after washing them. She looked at Gu Mang and smiled. “Gu Mang, we have your favorite beef.”


  Gu Mang smirked and pinched Meng Jinyang’s cheek out of habit.

  “Sister Mang, do you take spice?” Shen Huan already had five saucers filled beside her. Gu Mang’s was the only one left unfilled.

  Gu Mang flipped her hair and nodded. Then, she rolled up her sleeves to help out.

  When they were almost done preparing, the girls surrounded the table and took out their phones to take photos.

  After editing the photos they did not dare to post them on their WeChat feed. Instead, they posted them on Weibo secretly.

  Shen Huan thought about what caption to write and asked casually, “Sister Mang, do you have Weibo? Let’s follow each other.”


  Gu Mang propped up her face with her hands and answered in a lazy and nonchalant manner, “That? I don’t.”
