"Alright, alright, from now on, you just quietly pretend," Feng Qishi deliberately stepped forward and said, "I'll just watch closely and not say anything, to save you from feeling guilty."
Mu Anxiao rolled her eyes at Feng Qishi and said, "Boring."
"If I remember correctly, you were the one who looked for me today," Feng Qishi pointed to himself.
"Go back," Mu Anxiao said, turning around.
"That way," Feng Qishi pointed in the opposite direction of Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao paused for a moment, then turned and deliberately walked ahead of Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi's body couldn't help but lean forward. He turned around and said, "I told you not to walk like that, why don't you listen?" As he spoke, he followed Mu Anxiao.
The next morning, Mu Anxiao was already up and dressed, standing in front of Feng Qishi. Feng Qishi groggily raised his face and asked Mu Anxiao, "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to supervise you," Mu Anxiao said.
Feng Qishi stood up and asked, "Are you sick?"
"I've thought about it. I haven't been paying enough attention to you. So from now on, I will follow you twenty-four hours a day, never leaving your side," Mu Anxiao said with determination in her eyes.
Feng Qishi chuckled dryly, "Then watch me." He then walked past Mu Anxiao and the coffee table to the sofa and sat down.
Mu Anxiao turned around and said, "You ghost, you still get sleepy."
"I used a lot of spiritual energy yesterday, so I'm particularly exhausted today," Feng Qishi said, lying down on the sofa.
Mu Anxiao stepped forward and said, "This is what they mean by not listening to elders and suffering the consequences."
"You're right, I was wrong. Let me rest for a while, please, Grandma," Feng Qishi clasped his hands together.
"I want to go find your Uncle Chen," Mu Anxiao suddenly said.
Hearing this, Feng Qishi opened his eyes and asked, "Why are you looking for Uncle Chen?"
"He's been good to me. I want to bid him farewell before I leave," Mu Anxiao said earnestly.
"You understand this custom?" Feng Qishi smiled.
"Yes. If you don't want to go with me, then sleep well," Mu Anxiao said indifferently.
Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao's face, then thought about his relationship with Uncle Chen during his lifetime. He then stood up abruptly and said, "I'll go with you."
"Let's go," Mu Anxiao said, turning and walking to the door.
Feng Qishi thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Chen probably hasn't gone, has he?"
"He has," Mu Anxiao said.
"How do you know?" Feng Qishi asked, surprised.
Mu Anxiao pointed to Zhang Yan's room. "I asked Zhang Yan to call him. He said he was going to work today."
"Is that so?" Feng Qishi nodded, pointing to the door. "Then let's go."
Mu Anxiao didn't say anything, reached out, opened the door, and walked out.
At the same time, Liu Xian and Zhang Yan were brushing their teeth in the courtyard.
Liu Xian saw Mu Anxiao come out, quickly spat out the water in his mouth, and asked, "Where are you going?"
"None of your business," Mu Anxiao said.
"I..." Liu Xian said, then smiled. "I'm driving out later. If it's on the way, I can give you a ride."
"You can drive?" Mu Anxiao asked, surprised.
Liu Xian nodded.
Mu Anxiao then asked, "Do you have a driver's license?"
Feng Qishi didn't expect Mu Anxiao to ask such a professional question and chuckled along.
Mu Anxiao glanced at Feng Qishi and then looked back at the pale-faced Liu Xian. "Why aren't you replying to me?"
"If I didn't have a driver's license, I wouldn't dare to drive," Liu Xian forced a smile.
"Why didn't you drive yesterday?" Mu Anxiao asked.
"My car is driven by my mom. My mom will be here soon, and then I can drive," Liu Xian explained helplessly.
Mu Anxiao responded with a nonchalant "Oh," and said, "We're not going the same way."
"Where are you going?" Liu Xian pressed.
"I'm going to Feng Qishi's school," Mu Anxiao said without reservation.
Liu Xian's expression stiffened slightly. "Then we really aren't going the same way."
"Let's go," Mu Anxiao said, then, without intending to, noticed Fan Yan washing his face and asked, "What is that on your face?"
Hearing this, Fan Yan straightened up, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Mu Anxiao. "Oh, it's men's facial cleanser."
"Can you open your eyes?" Mu Anxiao said.
Fan Yan tilted his head back and said, "No, it'll sting my eyes if I open them."
"Oh, why didn't you use it before?" Mu Anxiao asked again.
"Now that Liu Xian is going on blind dates, I need to take care of myself too, so I won't end up as miserable as him," Fan Yan said, bending down to wash his face.
"That makes sense," Mu Anxiao said, looking at Liu Xian, who was in casual wear. "I think your mom is going to say something to you."
"Why?" Liu Xian asked.
"It's not formal. Goodbye." After speaking, Mu Anxiao walked towards the courtyard exit.
"Goodbye," Fan Yan shouted, continuing to wash his face.
Liu Xian stood still, looked down at his clothes, and asked, "Hey, isn't this outfit formal enough?"
"Comfort is key," Fan Yan said, picking up a towel and wiping his face vigorously.
Liu Xian agreed with Fan Yan's reasoning and continued brushing his teeth.
Walking on the road, Feng Qishi said, "It hasn't even been a month, and you're already this professional. Amazing." He gave a thumbs-up.
"I don't need your praise."
"I'm not praising you, I'm just surprised," Feng Qishi lowered his hand and said, "You can accept new things so quickly. That's a good sign."
"How is that good?" Mu Anxiao glanced at Feng Qishi and asked.
"This way, you won't have any difficulty cultivating spiritual energy when you get back," Feng Qishi said.
Mu Anxiao flicked her ear and said, "I don't want to worry about myself right now. When I get back, I just want to find a body for you before I think about anything else."
"Oh, oh, oh, you're so noble," Feng Qishi chuckled.
"In my eyes, you're just a big trouble. Once I solve this big trouble of yours, I can start my own life," Mu Anxiao said casually.
Feng Qishi's face stiffened. "You're not going to abandon me, are you?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao's heart sank. She quickly feigned composure and said, "No, I was just thinking that after finding a body for you, and while teaching you spells, I'll cultivate spiritual energy myself."
"If you dare to abandon me, I will..."
"You will what?" Mu Anxiao intentionally interrupted and said, "You'll never talk to me again?"
Feng Qishi stared at Mu Anxiao's profile and said, "Don't worry, I will talk to you."
"Boring," Mu Anxiao glared at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi chuckled and glanced at a woman passing by them. He looked down and quickly said, "Stop for a moment."
"What is it?" Mu Anxiao had just asked this when the next second she stepped on a wallet.
Feng Qishi looked helplessly at the wallet under Mu Anxiao's feet and said, "I told you to stop, but you didn't."
Mu Anxiao glared at Feng Qishi, moved her foot, bent down, and picked up the wallet. "Whose is it?"
"That woman's," Feng Qishi pointed at the woman in the long skirt and high heels ahead.
Mu Anxiao followed Feng Qishi's gaze to the woman and sighed. "Stop for a moment," she called out, chasing after the woman.
