Shi Qian looked at her phone screen and momentarily hesitated before she typed in the message again.

[Shi Qian: “I’m busy right now. Help me investigate a person. She is Bai Liyue, the Dean of the University of Science and Technology in Country A’s Imperial Capital. I want all her information.]

Gui Mo replied.

[Gui Mo: Okay, no problem. Wait for me.]

[Shi Qian: Thank you.]

Shi Qian gripped her phone tightly and looked out the window.

She had mixed feelings. She could have investigated Bai Liyue’s information herself, but she felt an inexplicable resistance and even fear.

However, she could not help but want to know why Bai Liyue looked so much like her mother.

Furthermore, their surnames were both Bai.

All kinds of guesses swirled in her mind. Could it be that they just looked alike or that her mother was not an orphan and had family and sisters, but they did not know? Or??

She couldn’t continue to think about it and quietly waited for Gui Mo’s reply.

It was already noon when she returned to the Imperial University.

Shi Qian walked absent-mindedly.

Sheng Xu and Lu Sizhe were about to go for dinner when they saw Shi Qian return from outside. It looked like she had lost her soul.

Sheng Xu immediately walked over to her.

Shi Qian was still in a daze and did not hear Sheng Xu’s call.

Sheng Xu sparingly frowned when she failed to respond. He called her again, “Shi Qian!”

Only then did Shi Qian return to her senses. She looked at Sheng Xu and Lu Sizhe before her with a puzzled expression. “Yeah! What’s wrong?”

“What are you thinking about?” Sheng Xu asked.

“It’s nothing,” Shi Qian said listlessly.

“You… Aren’t you in the mood? Lu Sizhe and I are going out for dinner.”

Lu Sizhe also happily said, “Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Let’s go together. Delicious food heals the mood!”

“You guys go ahead. I’m not hungry.” She spoke and walked towards Botanical Garden.

Sheng Xu looked at Shi Qian’s back and muttered, “What’s wrong with her? I’ve never seen her like this before.”

Lu Sizhe shrugged. “I don’t know. She doesn’t seem to be in a good mood.”

Sheng Xu suddenly turned to look at Lu Sizhe with a hint of excitement in his eyes. “Do you think she finally fell out of love?”

Lu Sizhe rolled his eyes at him.

“Of course,” Sheng Xu said confidently. “That would be the easiest time to take advantage of the situation!”

He pondered for a while and said, “You can eat alone. I’m not eating.”

“F*ck! Sheng Xu, why would you forget your friends for a woman?”

Sheng Xu looked at him. “It’s not like you can spend the rest of your life with me. Besides, a man wouldn’t die eating alone!”

Lu Sizhe said, “Have some shame! You were the one who asked me to go out.”

“Maybe next time.” Sheng Xu stopped talking nonsense. He turned around to chase Shi Qian.

He couldn’t even chase after the woman he liked, so what was the point of being shameless?

He ran about two steps, stopped, and turned to Lu Sizhe. “Hey, Lu Sizhe, I’m going to see Qianqian first. Can you buy some snacks for me? 1 think she hasn’t eaten yet.”

“Get lost!”

Shi Qian sat alone on a bench by the lake. She quietly looked at the lake’s surface.

Sheng Xu walked over and sat beside her.

Shi Qian knew he would come over but did not react. She fixed her beautiful eyes on the lake.

Sheng Xu looked at her and couldn’t help but ask, “Is there anything wrong?”

Shi Qian leaned back and crossed her arms lazily. “I’m okay.”

“Are you sure you’re okay?” Of course, Sheng Xu wouldn’t believe she was okay. He raised his eyebrows and stared at her.. “Why do 1 feel like you aren’t okay?”
