"What's wrong with that? Isn't it normal for friends and people you like to get along well? Like you, Saki, you and Lin Qiu get along well too, it's not like you're stealing someone away."

"..."

"What if something minor happens between that person and the boy, and they slightly cross the line?"

"Saki, what happened between you and Lin Qiu?!"

Chen Xiao's eyes sharpened instantly, his gaze fixed on Saki, the terrifying pressure making her tremble.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Sakikuma hurriedly shook her head frantically in denial—

"No, I didn't. Don't talk nonsense. How could I possibly have anything with Lin Qiu? I don't want to steal my best friend's man."

"Then why did you suddenly ask this?"

"Ahem—well, about Shang Yan… She recently contacted me saying she has someone she likes, but there seems to be something amiss between the person she likes and Xia Chufeng, so she specifically came to consult me. I don't know much about this, so I can only ask you, Lao Chen, for advice."

Saki decisively shifted the blame to Shang Yan, who was far away in Lungmen. Anyway, that guy often collected gossip and such, so Old Chen wouldn't suspect anything if she pinned the blame on her this time.

Just as she expected, Chen Xiao's expression softened when he heard that it was about Shang Yan and their affairs.

He stroked his chin thoughtfully, then asked with some confusion—

"Shang Yan actually fell for someone else? I thought he only cared about making money and gossip."

"After all, they've reached a certain age, and they're bound to have moments of attraction. The main problem is that she and Xia Chufeng are facing a bit of trouble."

Sakikuma was talking nonsense with a straight face. For her own safety, she decided to put those two guys in their place for now!

After thinking for a moment, Chen Xiao tentatively asked—

"Is that boy dating Xia Chufeng?"

"No, we met through Shang Yan. It's just that when they went out with Wei Ran and the others, due to some unforeseen circumstances, the boy and Xiao Feng accidentally got a little too close. Does that count as betraying her best friend?"

"I don't think so. After all, it was an accident, and it was beyond our control."

Hearing this, Sakuma finally felt relieved, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.

I was right after all. Accidents shouldn't be taken too seriously!

363. Who brings homework when they go out?!

"Hmm-da-la--"

A cheerful melody drifted through the lounge, making the already relaxed atmosphere even more comfortable.

Everyone could clearly hear the joy in Sakuma's voice, and they couldn't help but look over curiously.

Even Chen Xiao was a little confused. Shouldn't Shang Yan be happy? After all, she didn't have to worry about her man being stolen away. Why was this guy so happy?

However, Chen Xiao had no time to ask so many questions. He comfortably soaked his feet in the foot bath, completely relaxing.

Anyway, it shouldn't concern me much, so I don't need to worry about it.

On the other hand, Ye Ziyu looked thoughtfully at the cheerful Saki, and then, as if she had thought of something, her gaze suddenly turned to Lin Qiu.

Did this guy secretly have some kind of in-depth conversation with Sakuma?

Lin Qiu, however, was oblivious to Master Ye's strange gaze, squinting and looking up at the ceiling with great satisfaction.

It feels so good to be able to relax and enjoy myself without having to worry about anything...

And at this moment——

"Ding-"

A pleasant, soft sound instantly pulled Lin Qiu's drifting consciousness back to reality.

He took out his phone and glanced at it. When he saw that the message was from a number he had never seen before, his eyes widened in surprise.

After Lin Qiu tapped the screen a few times, a notification immediately appeared before his eyes—

"Lin Qiu, there will be a class test the day after tomorrow. If you do not participate, you will be marked as absent and will have to take the make-up test next time. Will you be able to return to school by then?"

Lin Qiu's pupils constricted sharply as he looked at Bai Yujue's signature at the end.

I almost forgot about school!

"what happened?"

Noticing Lin Qiu's drastic change in expression, Ze Zhi asked somewhat lazily.

You were enjoying a foot bath, why are you making such a strange face? Is your leg cramping?

"Class test the day after tomorrow."

"what?!"

Zezhi suddenly jumped up from the recliner, her face filled with terror.

After gaining magical powers, I almost forgot that I was still a student!

Do you have time to study during class?

"What do you think?"

The two of them had a subtle change in expression. They could no longer leisurely soak their feet. They quickly dried their feet, picked up the foot bath tub, and rushed outside.

The sight of the two hurrying about left everyone stunned.

"What happened to them?"

"The exam is the day after tomorrow, I guess I'll have to cram at the last minute."

Aren't you panicking?

"I've finished studying all the lessons I missed, so I'll be fine with the exams. What's there to panic about?"

“I have already completed all the courses, so I have nothing to worry about.”

Faced with Bai Ya's question, Qin Yunmo, Qi Xi, and the others looked relaxed and confident, as if they didn't care about the exam at all.

Bai Ya nodded thoughtfully. It seems those two guys usually have pretty bad grades!

Listening to their conversation, Chen Xiao suddenly seemed to realize something, and his eyes lit up.

This is the opportunity!

She lost interest in soaking her feet and dried them off. Then, she picked up the bucket and excitedly strolled out of the room, as if she was afraid someone would snatch it from her.

Yunmo looked at the guy's hurried back with a puzzled expression, until Ye Ziyu couldn't help but remind him—

"Yunmo, aren't you going to tutor Lin Qiu? Someone seems to be trying to get ahead of him."

"Um?!"

......

Meanwhile, Lin Qiu and Ze Zhi, after rummaging around in their room for a while, both had a dark look on their faces.

Did you bring it?

"Who in their right mind would bring books and homework with them when they go out?"

"..."

The two sat on the bed, their faces dark, with an inexplicable feeling that the end of the world was coming.

I was having so much fun out there that I completely forgot about school. If it weren't for the text message reminder, the day after tomorrow would have been a total disaster!

"Oh right, Chie and the others are still at home. Can she take a picture and send it to me?"

Lin Qiu suddenly remembered Qian Hui's existence, and his spirits immediately lifted.

I almost forgot I had such a sweet little girl by my side!

"Yes, yes, hurry up and have them take some photos and send them over, and send me a copy too!"

"We're in touch!"

Lin Qiu didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately dialed Lin Qianhui's video call.

Fortunately, the video call connected shortly afterward, and three little heads appeared on the screen immediately.

"What's wrong, Brother Lin Qiu? Why are you sending a video at this hour?"

Xiao Dan asked curiously, her gaze constantly glancing at Lin Qiu's side, until she noticed Ze Zhi's presence, at which point her eyes suddenly narrowed.

Why is it this thieving cat?!

"Hey guys, hurry up and get my backpack over here, and while you're at it, take pictures of the first few pages of my books and send them to me. I have an exam the day after tomorrow, so I need to start studying!"

"Hey? Ah—Ah Xuan, hurry up!"

Why aren't you moving?

Qin Xuan glanced at Qin Dan, who was still holding her phone and refusing to move, then grabbed her by the collar and dragged her over.

I absolutely cannot let this guy have so much free time while I'm busy!

"By the way, Brother Lin Qiu, you have an exam the day after tomorrow, does that mean you'll be back tomorrow?"

While helping her search for her schoolbag, Xiao Dan couldn't help but ask expectantly.

It's been a while since I've seen my older sister and Lin Qiu interact intimately, and I feel like something's missing from my life.

If they come back tomorrow, I can finally have a celebration!

"Pretty much. After all, the exam is the day after tomorrow, and I need to come back early to study, otherwise this time I'll really be in trouble."

Lin Qiu's face turned pale at the mention of this.

Every exam is a nightmare for me, and if I mess up again this time, I'll get scolded by my mom again.

"Oh wow, does that mean we can wait for Brother Lin Qiu to cook tomorrow?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Mom and the others left so quickly. We haven't been eating very well at home, especially when Xiaodan cooks, it's terrible."

As Chie spoke, her face turned slightly pale.

Damn, even when Sister Yunmo cooks, it's not this outrageous! The kitchen almost exploded!

Qin Dan, who was standing to the side, twitched her lips upon hearing this, but she didn't really know what to say in response.

I admit I made a small mistake, but it wasn't as outrageous as Chie made it out to be, was it? My technique was definitely a bit better than my older sister's before!

Lin Qiu was taken aback by what he heard, but still offered a reassuring remark—

"It's okay, we'll be back first thing tomorrow morning. There will be quite a few guests at the house then, so please don't make too much of a mess and remember to clean it up properly."

"Who else is there besides Sister Yunmo?"

Chie blinked her eyes and asked a question with some curiosity, which made the two Qin children's eyes look a little dangerous...

364. Is there any hope for the Qin family's revitalization?

"I can't take it anymore, I'm really going to die..."

Zezhi mumbled weakly, as if she were being dragged along after getting off the bus.

Yunmo, who was responsible for dragging her along, couldn't help but roll his eyes. This guy was probably already a cripple.

Even though my physical abilities have been enhanced with magic, why am I still getting carsick?

In comparison, Xiao Dan was much braver than her.

"Alright, stop yelling. We're almost home. If you really can't manage, you can just take a nap."

"I feel like I might die right in front of my house..."

Sawa rolled her eyes. She could vaguely see a girl with golden cat eyes waving at her from in front of a strange river!

Ignoring the incessantly muttering fellow, Lin Qiu could already see the little guy's figure lingering at the second-floor window.

"Brother Lin Qiu!"

Even from a great distance, Qin Dan's voice came through immediately.

To everyone's surprise, a petite figure came running at an incredible speed and then suddenly pounced into Lin Qiu's arms.

Suddenly, he was almost knocked flying!

"Cough, Xiao Dan, be gentle, you're going to break my ribs."
