"Hello."

"Are you back?"

"Haven't slept yet?"

"Waiting for your call."

"Get some sleep early, I'm fine."

"Okay."

"Hanging up."

"Hey..."

"Hmm?"

"Are you free tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow might..."

"Just a meal together is fine."

"Okay."

"Then I'll sleep."

"Good night."

Liu Siyan placed her phone gently by the bedside with a smile. Slowly, she closed her eyes.

He's fine, so she can sleep peacefully now.

She didn't know how to express or interpret this feeling. In front of Xiaofan, she just wanted to show him her best side. At the same time, she knew that holding onto this relationship would be difficult. She didn't care about Shen Zuimo because she knew it was impossible for Xiaofan to let her go. At least she could hold a place in his heart.

Our classmate Ye Xiaofan certainly felt Liu Siyan's affection. He was also considering his own life plan; perhaps it was time to make a decision.

But who would have thought, after meeting Shen Zuimo again, how fragile this so-called decision would be? Of course, that's a later story. Because Xiaofan didn't know he would meet her again so soon. Moreover, she was a different Shen Zuimo.

The next day. Morning.

Base of Yanhuang Soul.

"David's identity has been confirmed, a former senior agent from the FBI in M Country. He was dismissed two weeks before coming to Huaxia," Shen Junjie said softly as he brought the information to Fan Lingtian.

"The case Ye Dahe is handling must be greatly affecting the economic interests of M Country. Last night's task force received intelligence that Red Butterfly's people might take over the assassination of Ye Dahe. We have to send someone to protect him. Junjie, I might need you to run a trip. You lead the team," Fan Lingtian said softly.

"Yes."

"Hmm? Is there anything else?" Fan Lingtian asked softly when he saw Shen Junjie hadn't left.

"Elder Fan, the captain of last night's task force wants to plead for his teammate Lei Xiaolei. It was he and Ye Xiaofan who successfully stopped those M Country guys last night, and he was the one who sent back the intelligence in time. Although... he killed David," Shen Junjie said helplessly.

"Ah, I know that kid from the Lei Family. He's a talent. So outstanding at such a young age, you think I don't want to keep him here? Give it some time. Later, I'll have someone internally remove the words 'never hire again.' After all, if the FBI pursues this, the problem could be big or small. Remember, it's not that we fear him, but there are diplomatic pressures. Otherwise, the FBI wouldn't have fired David two weeks ago and then sent him to Huaxia on a mission."

"Understood, Elder Fan," Shen Junjie smiled at the thought of the possibility that this kid might have a chance to return once the 'never hire again' is removed.

"Anything else?" Fan Lingtian continued to ask.

"Oh, just, my sister has been in Yanhuang Soul for quite some time. Do you think I could take her on this mission?" Shen Junjie asked softly.

This time, my sister has always been that cold look, not saying much throughout the day. If I'm not around, she really doesn't have anyone to talk to. Even if some team members want to chat her up, they are scared away by her icy demeanor. I'm just worried if this continues, will something happen to her? So, I'm thinking of taking her out to get familiar with Yanhuang Soul's tasks while letting her relax.

"This time it's the Red Butterfly's people. Will Zuimo's former identity..."

"Elder Fan, don't worry. When the time comes, we'll have her wear a mask during the operation so no one will recognize her. Also, we don't know exactly when Red Butterfly's people will come. And Zuimo used to be with Red Butterfly, she knows their people better than any of us. It will help us," Shen Junjie continued to plead.

"Junjie, I understand your feelings. Ah, fine, go ahead, but be careful in everything. Your sister still has very important clues that haven't been found. Be extra cautious during the action to prevent Red Butterfly's people from targeting her. If an accident occurs, send her back immediately," Elder Fan nodded.

"Yes. Then I'll go now."

With both issues resolved, Shen Junjie left with a grin, ready to inform his sister about the news as soon as possible.

"This kid," Elder Fan smiled as he watched Shen Junjie leave, then suddenly thought of something: "Ye Dahe is Ye Xiaofan's uncle, and he's involved too. If those two happen to meet accidentally, what will happen? I haven't considered this yet. But probably not that likely they'd just bump into each other."

At noon, in an apartment building not far from Mingyuan University in Capital City.

Ye Xiaofan, who didn't sleep a wink last night, was too hungry. Only then did he reluctantly get up and order some takeout from downstairs. Then, he lay down again to continue sleeping.

The leave Chen Mei'Er arranged for him at school was almost up, but the school knew Xiaofan was participating in a competition before, so they approved his leave until after the competition ended. Who knew Xiaofan would keep winning until he became the champion? The leave was extended further and further.

No idea how many minutes passed, but suddenly the doorbell rang. Xiaofan thought the takeout had arrived, so he groggily got up to open the door.

However, at first glance, Xiaofan didn't see the delivery person at the door. In the second glance, he noticed a pair of big eyes staring at him from not far away.

A girl, a short girl. Her eyes were large, her face round, but her features were delicate. Her skin was fair, but she seemed to be wearing adult clothes.

She held a suitcase. It wasn't big, matching her petite frame.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Hello, are you the one looking for a roommate?" the girl's voice was clear and pleasant, but her expression as she spoke was fixed. Neither a smile nor any emotion.

"Roommate?" Xiaofan asked, confused.

"This..." The girl pulled out her phone and opened a photo, which was the rental notice Xiaofan had posted downstairs earlier.

"I posted this, but..."

"Can I come in and talk?" the girl interrupted Xiaofan abruptly.

"Oh, please come in," Xiaofan said, stepping aside to let her in.

Once inside, the girl immediately dragged her small suitcase toward the bedroom.

"This one's nice, I'll take this room. How much is the rent? Do we split the utility bills or should I install my own meter?" she asked after setting down her luggage.

"No, little sister, that rental notice was posted a long time ago, I'm not looking to share the space anymore. Sorry," Xiaofan said apologetically.

"Why? You're living alone now. I've come such a long way. You can't expect me to find another place now, can you? Besides, it's so hard to find a place around here. What am I supposed to do? Also, don't call me little sister, I'm Ren Ling."
