What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

"Oh, no wonder. It turns out that Mao Mao Tou is missing."

An Chen chuckled softly, having roughly guessed what Jiu Ge had gone through.

"He has already found Mao Mao Tou, so you don't need to worry too much."

"Really?"

Jiuge remained somewhat wary.

"I saw."

"Oh, that's good." Jiuge's expression returned to calm.

She glanced disdainfully at the beef patty in her hand and muttered, "Why did you buy this kind of unhealthy stuff? And you even bought two servings."

"Your usual takeout orders are similar to this, right..."

I suggest you don't click on Chapter 24.

"Is takeout more hygienic?" Jiuge tilted her head and thought for a moment.

After all, the food was properly packaged and delivered by a delivery person, so it should be a little more hygienic than food from the street.

“Although I’m not entirely sure…” An Chen glanced at Jiu Ge.

"Isn't it Hengdingsen?" Jiuge took small bites of the beef patty, her words somewhat muffled.

This stuff might not be very hygienic, but it's surprisingly delicious.

"So you're actually an idiot?" An Chen asked, looking somewhat disappointed.

A goddess to the masses, nothing more.

The aloof exterior is just a facade.

The real Jiuge is not only timid, but also suffers from social anxiety. Due to living alone for a long time, she even lacks some basic common sense.

"?"

Upon hearing this, Jiuge stopped eating.

She glared fiercely at An Chen, then lowered her head and glanced sideways at the stalls in the distance.

After confirming that the stall owner wasn't paying attention to her, Jiuge sighed.

I suddenly lost my appetite for the remaining half of the beef patty...

"Humph!"

She gave a soft hum and took out a tissue to wipe her mouth.

Then, Jiuge quickened her pace.

"Be careful not to walk too fast and bump into a little kid."

After finishing the beef patty in a few bites, An Chen calmly reminded him.

Because the sun was so strong, there were hardly any spirits on the road by noon.

But there's no guarantee that Zhang Zhidong might have an abnormal constitution and force Mao Mao to exercise under the sun.

Upon hearing An Chen's words, Jiu Ge's shoulders trembled, her steps slowed, and then she stopped.

As if considering something, she began to slowly back away from An Chen's position.

"If you want to come over, you can just turn around and walk over."

An Chen suppressed the urge to laugh and offered his advice to Jiu Ge's retreating figure with a serious expression.

"..."

Jiuge turned around and glared at An Chen before straightening up.

With a sigh, she walked defiantly to An Chen's side.

Didn't you say you didn't want to attract attention?

The street doesn't have a lot of foot traffic, but there are still quite a few students.

Jiuge noticed that some students were starting to look at her and An Chen.

"Then I'll go?"

An Chen shrugged, his expression somewhat helpless.

It's not that I've completely come to terms with it.

After spending only half a day in the classroom, he suddenly realized that public opinion wouldn't really affect anyone.

The hype will eventually die down.

Besides, we only bumped into each other on the way home from school.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Jiuge fell silent, her expression appearing somewhat withdrawn.

"Do you have any other psychic abilities? Something you haven't mentioned to me before, something niche."

As if he had thought of something, An Chen suddenly asked a question.

If Phantom is the final boss he has encountered along the way, then its strength must not be underestimated.

Now that I have the information provided by Jiuge and the experience of pretending to learn last time, I should be able to learn something real much more easily.

An Chen had never been in contact with anyone from the association before, so there might really be some skills he had never seen before.

"Although you may indeed be exceptionally talented."

Jiuge spoke slowly.

"But no skill can be mastered in a few days. You should practice the few moves I taught you first, because we might have to do a mission in a few days."

As she spoke, she took out her phone and started ordering takeout.

"Yes, I will practice hard," An Chen said calmly.

Judging from Jiuge's words, she has most likely acquired new skills.

"Although fast food is quick to prepare, it is also typical junk food, so I suggest you don't order it."

He glanced at the content on Jiuge's screen and kindly offered his advice.

Upon hearing the words "junk food," Jiuge blinked, her trembling fingers stopping on the hamburger screen.

On the way back to the apartment, the two didn't say much, and neither Mao Maotou nor Zhang Zhidong appeared along the way.

When the door opened, Jiuge cautiously peeked inside.

The temperature did not rise.

Only after confirming that there were no strange spirits inside did she step inside.

As soon as she entered, Jiuge paused again.

As if she were slowly exploring language, her mouth opened and closed again.

"Wait...can you get my takeout for me later..."

Jiu Ge tossed these words at An Chen, whose expression was somewhat helpless, and her own expression was also complicated.

Her gaze drifted this way and that, her fingers gesturing aimlessly in the air.

Finally, a strand of hair got caught on my fingertip.

"understood."

With a sigh, An Chen patted Jiu Ge's fair shoulder in a comforting manner.

Hmm, it's quite soft.

Although it was indeed interesting to see the cool and aloof girl react and make such a move, I decided to skip it because the lunch break was too short.

Feeling An Chen's movement, Jiu Ge's face suddenly turned bright red.

She took a few steps back and rushed back to her room.

"..."

An Chen was suddenly plunged into self-doubt.

Is he that scary?

Even if they're scary, they're not as scary as those mischievous spirits, are they?

After resting on the sofa for a while, An Chen finally heard the doorbell ring.

"Hello, your takeout is here."

He silently took the takeout from the door, opening it only a crack.

I glanced at the receipt; it was plain congee.

"..."

An Chen remained silent.

I placed the porridge next to Jiuge's door and sent her a message reminding her to remember to pick it up.

He glanced at the door that Jiuge had opened a crack, then turned and went downstairs.

After playing with the 'Fate' for a while, An Chen took out the milk candy hidden in the cabinet, lay down on the sofa, and set a 20-minute alarm.

The saying that once you relax, you'll feel sleepy in spring, tired in autumn, hibernate in winter, and never wake up in summer makes a lot of sense.

The afternoon also has four full classes.

Two sections on sports anatomy and two sections on psychology.

An Chen also left half an hour earlier than Jiu Ge.

Perhaps because it was close to summer vacation, few students paid attention in the last few classes, except when the focus was on the exam.

Occasionally, students around him would glance at him, including a few female students.

Resting his chin on his hand, An Chen, ignoring his surroundings, drifted into a daze, seemingly bored.
