ory." I scoffed."No, we were not ordered to leave the sect on our own accord. We would be severely punished, at least confined to solitary confinement, or worse, thrown into pits filled with ferocious...I'm not good at lying, I usually get by with acting innocent.

"Fifth senior sister, my stomach hurts..."

"Uh Did you catch a cold Or did your period come" Fifth senior sister asked me, tilting her head.

"I haven't had my period this month... Could I have some gynecological disease" I said, clutching my stomach and making up excuses.

She was taken aback and shook her head, saying, "Impossible, you're a young woman without a boyfriend, how could you possibly have gynecological problems Are you crazy!"

"But I'm really in pain... Would you mind taking a look You seem to know a lot about women's ailments," I pleaded.

She frowned and nodded. "Alright, I'll go wash my hands."

It's become my family's habit to wash our hands with lukewarm water, no more than forty degrees Celsius, before taking anyone's pulse.

She turned to go into my walk-in shower, and I immediately balled up my ripped clothes, grabbed my backpack, took a bite of my scrambled egg sandwich, and ran.

Having run to the doorstep, Ninth Senior Brother was there swaying about waiting for me: "Eh You're actually this fast today"

"Hurry, hurry," I seemed to hear Fifth Senior Sister in the backyard pushing open the window and calling me.

Having many people in the family means there's always someone to lend a hand when you need help with anything.

But there's also one thing—it's hard to keep secrets.

To keep even a small secret, you have to think hard and it could be exposed at any time.

I was preoccupied all morning, Mu Wanchen didn't come to look for me, should I go find him

He used to raise Guiling there, it's not far from here. If I go there, should I buy some fruits and vegetables...

My goodness... Thinking about it this way, I feel a little guilty.

During break time, Tang Yufeng whispered mischievously behind me, "Did you stay up all night last night Your eyes are a little scattered~~"

I shot her a withering look and didn't even bother kissing her. You're overthinking things.

She raised an eyebrow and whispered, "How old are you If you like someone, just do it. What's there to hide... Is your boyfriend that tall, handsome alien"

"You're such a gossip..." I turned my head, not wanting to deal with her.

But she's clinging to me now, and I clearly don't want to talk. She keeps pestering me with all sorts of questions.

I was getting really annoyed, so I just came out and said, "If you're interested in him, just say it! All this beating around the bush is awkward."

Tang Yufeng said with a wicked smile: "Oh, if I admitted that I was interested in him, wouldn't you be jealous! When the two of you break up, remember to tell me, I'm willing to be the spare tire."

I was taken aback and laughed, "You're too casual, aren't you"

"What's wrong with that I wish my boyfriend had been with a lot of women before."

"Huh"

She proudly said, "That's how his skills are so good!"

I rolled my eyes, not wanting to speak to her.

When I was getting really annoyed, the counselor called my name at the door. I dashed out like I'd been pardoned, escaping Tang Yufie's pestering.

Our advisor, Teacher Cheng, is a woman in her thirties. I heard she has a little princess who is two or three years old. She visited my house during a home visit before.

I'm not very close with her normally and don't know what she wants me to do.

"Yin Luo, at this year's freshman welcome party, the academy wants to shoot a promotional video to hype things up. The academy leaders held a meeting saying they want to respond to the XX Dream and the Chinese Dream, highlighting national pride. We need some pretty unique outdoor locations, your family—"

I'm speechless, I have to go home to get the scenery

I've always been very averse to this kind of thing. I've disliked people prying into my family matters since I was a child, and I even dislike having people come to my house.

Now that you've grown up, everyone says your family home is an antique They all envy and admire you, saying you're a real young lady now.

And if this were broadcast and put online, wouldn't it be even more trouble

Teacher Cheng saw my reluctance and quickly explained, “Just pat the door and the edges, don't go inside.”

I looked at her, thinking that I still had to work under her for three more years, so I adjusted my expression and explained: "Teacher, my family is a bit special. There are many people in the family, and it involves personal privacy and the privacy of patients who come for consultations. It's inconvenient to take pictures. If you need ancient buildings, you can go to the park behind my house. There are many ancient buildings inside."

"But we entrusted the students from the new media club to do it. They're not familiar with the area, could you help guide them" Teacher Cheng said.

I hesitated for a moment, feeling that if I pushed back any further it would be too much. I could only nod and say, "Alright... When"

This conversation got me into trouble. Teacher Cheng gave my WeChat to the president of the new media club.

That president was a real chatterbox. He sent me long, rambling messages on WeChat about his ideas. I didn't want to read them at all. To make matters worse, he even sent me videos he'd made before. It was so annoying that I just wanted to shut off my phone.

Tang Yufen chuckled evilly: “This president is quite handsome, the kind who could make it onto the campus heartthrob rankings. Apparently, he's very pretty and handsome, like a young fresh meat.”

"What does he look like, it's none of my business. He's so handsome, why don't you try to con him into making money" I impatiently silenced my phone.

Tang Yufei let out a cold snort: "I look down on men like this, who are so clean-cut and delicate. Compared to your boyfriend, with his exotic charm and walking hormones, this man is just effeminate."

I gave her a withering look. She's got some nerve.

“I was just saying, I never thought about stealing your man. It's pure admiration~~” she leaned in and whispered, “Look at you, someone has captured your heart, right Other men would just bother you... it means you’ve fallen for him… As for whether it's love or infatuation… That’s unclear~~~hehehe…”

This woman is a slut.

I turned my head away from her, but I was also afraid that she would spread rumors everywhere. It's really a dilemma.

I've been thinking about Liang Xiaoge's report last night. After class, I took a taxi to Mu Wanchen's temporary residence. I don't know if he lives here or not.

As I stepped out of the elevator, I was so nervous that I looked around frantically, afraid that the black hole and the strange hand would appear again.

He fished out his keys and unlocked the door like a thief, pushing it open and darting inside before slamming it shut.

"...What are you doing" Mu Wanchen stood by the balcony door, Dia'er rubbing against his shoulder.

"You, you're here! I thought you weren't." I awkwardly placed the supermarket bag from my hand onto the coffee table.

Diao'er Xuan Yue was a foodie, she immediately jumped down and plunged her head into the bag.

"I just got here too, let's see if they've settled in." Mu Wanchen took out the yellow talisman figurine and handed it to me. "Tear it up."

"Why are you making me tear it"

He frowned slightly: "…I thought you liked playing with them torn apart, and even made Ah Liang stack one hundred and eighty for you to play with."

"I was just teasing Ah Liang!" His misunderstanding really makes me laugh and cry.

"Are you still asking me to fold paper for you Do I look that childish"

"But Ah-Liang deserves to be punished, this big mouth doesn't know how to keep it shut…" I mumbled as I tore the paper person.

"He deserves punishment." Mu Wanchen frowned. "Too bold—"

Huh

>shing down on my lower back. I felt like I was going to be crushed to death."...wheezing...The Dragon King says his word is final...you, you'll never escape his grasp..." He was losing too much blood...
