Su Bai put down the lunchbox in his hand and walked to the phone.

This was something Qi Lin left behind before she left—an old cell phone she had used, fully charged, so she could contact him if anything happened.

Just then, my phone rang.

Su Bai picked up his phone and pressed the answer button. Since it was a flip phone, the speakerphone was very loud, so he didn't hold it to his ear.

As soon as the call was connected and the speakerphone was turned on, Qi Lin's voice came through:

"Little brother Su Bai? Can you hear me?"

"Yes, I can hear you, Qilin," Su Bai nodded in response.

"That's good... Did you get the lunch delivered from the restaurant downstairs?" Hearing Su Bai's voice, Qi Lin smiled slightly and then asked.

"Yes, I just got it. I checked it through the peephole for a while, just like you said, before opening the door to bring it in."

For some reason, Qi Lin always felt that the other person's tone carried a sense of "mission accomplished, awaiting praise."

Su Bai's handsome face involuntarily appeared in her mind, now filled with anticipation, as if waiting for her to reward him.

Hiss... I'm a little overwhelmed.

At this moment, He Weilan pushed the door open and came in:

"Qilin, lunchtime!"

Before she could finish speaking, she noticed Qi Lin's unusual behavior—her phone was pressed against her ear, she was clearly on a call, but her face was flushed and there was an indescribable smile on her lips.

He Weilan immediately gave an "I understand" look and coughed lightly:

"Oh, you're busy with important matters. Well, I won't bother you any longer. I'll pack your lunch for you later."

After saying that, he left and closed the door behind him.

"Hey, azure!"

Realizing she had been misunderstood, Qi Lin opened her mouth to explain, but the other person had already walked away. She could only sigh helplessly.

"Qilin?"

Su Bai's puzzled voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Azure...who is that?"

Qi Lin explained with a smile, "She's my colleague; she came to call me just now."

"Oh." Su Bai didn't react much to this.

"Wait for me to come back tonight, and I'll take you to the food street downstairs. Consider it a reward for completing your mission, how about it?" Qi Lin said after thinking for a moment.

"Really?!" The words "snack street" instantly brightened Su Bai's tone.

"Of course it's true." Qi Lin couldn't help but chuckle, feeling that the other person was like a child—pure-minded, with their thoughts completely written on their face, without any pretense.

"Alright, go eat now, it'll get cold soon. I'm going to eat too," Qi Lin said softly.

"Okay! Bye-bye, Qilin!"

"Okay, bye-bye."

After saying goodbye to Qi Lin, Su Bai happily ate his lunch.

In less than ten minutes, the food was completely devoured.

He then continued writing in his diary.

[The lunch Qilin ordered for me arrived, it's delicious. But I think Qilin's cooking is even better.]

Qi Lin, who was having dinner with He Weilan, felt the fluctuations in the diary in her mind and immediately focused on reading it.

Reading what Su Bai wrote, her heart trembled slightly, a warm feeling welled up inside her, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

Seeing this, He Weilan couldn't help but tease:

"Oh my, what good thing has happened to our Miss Qilin? Her lips are practically curled up to the sky."

"Azure, what are you saying?" Qi Lin said gently, a little embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore." He Weilan waved her hand with a smile, but then leaned close to her ear and whispered:

When did you talk about it?

Qi Lin feigned composure: "What, what time? I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Still pretending? I was wondering why you suddenly changed your hairstyle today, even covering your forehead. So you're in a relationship~" He Weilan had a "I saw through you a long time ago" look on her face.

Qi Lin could only smile helplessly.

Actually, she covered her forehead because of that voice mark.

If she doesn't cover herself up, she might attract unnecessary attention while working. After all, she is "Qilin".

Compared to Qi Lin's sweet interactions, the other women who read the diary had different reactions.

Angel's Heart: (So you disappeared halfway through writing to go eat...)

Ahri: (Hmm, what an interesting young man... But judging from the looks of it, he's being "kept" by that girl named Qilin? I'm so envious.)

Qilin said she'd take me to the food street downstairs after she gets off work. Hehe, Qilin is so good to me.

However, Qi Lin won't be getting off work for a long time...

【Huh? Xiaoxue, what did you say?】

Because the diary was written by Su Bai using his thoughts, his conversations with Xiao Xue were also unconsciously recorded.

[Can't get any snacks today? Why?]

Seeing this, the women roughly guessed that this was what Su Bai said to Xiao Xue, but they had no way of knowing exactly what Xiao Xue said, and could only deduce it from Su Bai's reaction.

Qi Lin was also puzzled: Why would Xiao Xue say that there would be no snacks to eat at night? She was not a person who broke her word.

【Huh? Because Qilin will encounter danger tonight?】

These words made Qi Lin's heart jump.

Danger? What danger? An enemy plotting against you? A sudden attack? Or a car accident?

[A Taotie? But why would a ferocious beast like the Taotie cause trouble for Qi Lin?]

Gluttonous beast!?

Qi Lin's heart sank.

That's a ferocious beast from mythology... Why would it target me? Aside from becoming a "Resonator" with Su Bai's help, I'm nothing special. Why would such a being care about me?

Moreover, how could the Four Fiends from mythology appear in the real world?!

Compared to Su Bai's confusion and Qi Lin's panic, some women roughly understood the truth after seeing the word "Taotie".

On a deserted island, the angel A-Zhui looked up at the sky, her gaze seemingly piercing through the atmosphere and reaching the depths of the universe.

"The 'Taotie' he mentioned must refer to the Taotie of the Styx civilization... It's going to descend upon Earth tonight...?"

Ah-Zhui, who had just returned to Earth, sighed softly.

She knew the Taotie would attack tonight not only because she had already received intelligence, but also because after obtaining the copy of the diary, she immediately recalled the order Queen Keisha had recently given—

"Juxia City, Qilin, Su Bai".

A-Zhui immediately thought of Juxia City, which she had visited when she stayed on Earth, so she set off to return immediately.

After activating her Eye of Insight to scan, she didn't find Su Bai, but instead discovered Qi Lin—exactly the same as the portrait released by the Queen. In the dark dimension beside Qi Lin, there existed a blurry, undecipherable "mosaic."

Ah Zhui speculated that it must be Su Bai.

As for why it couldn't be analyzed, she simply assumed it was a special shielding feature inherent to time travelers.

Before we could even figure out how to report this to the Queen, this news suddenly appeared in the diary...
