You are all bad women! Don't come over!

The evening breeze was warm and comfortable, carrying a faint scent of flowers, and the golden sunlight slanted across the earth, as if even the edges of the clouds were lined with a layer of beautiful gold threads.

Perhaps because she wanted to return to her quarters early, or perhaps because she had seen everyone she needed to see, Liu Chaoyan left before the school anniversary celebration ended today.

Cai Yuncui and Gu Yange saw her to the school gate. Liu Chaoyan gave Gu Yange a slight smile, "It's fine to stop here, Yange, you go back and enjoy yourself."

"Sister-in-law, then I'll leave first… I'll come again next time!"

Gu Yange, knowing the other wanted to talk to Cai Yuncui, tactfully nodded and turned to leave with a wave.

After leaving, Gu Yange finally breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't dislike this future sister-in-law, but being around her was just too stressful.

Usually, she was the shining focal point in any crowd, but standing next to this sister-in-law, she felt like she was just a maid by comparison.

True to the lineage of the Liu Family, even if their current status was not what it once was, the millennium heritage was apparent in her upbringing… she was truly like a white lotus, pure, elegant, and inviolable.

Honestly, she was jealous. As a woman herself, she was envious of her sister-in-law's perfection.

She wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but Shen Mochen's look at Liu Chaoyan seemed a bit strange… but it must have been merely thought she was stunning.

After all, he was Catherine's boyfriend; surely he wouldn't have other intentions.

Gu Yange thought, suddenly feeling that her cousin might not quite match up with Liu Chaoyan… wait, why am I thinking this?

She shook her head and strode toward Senior 3 Class A, wondering if there were fewer people now!

…

"I didn't expect to run into Fei Yumo on this trip…" Liu Chaoyan adjusted her hairband and sighed softly.

"I had heard rumors beforehand, but I didn't think we'd actually bump into him, let's not mention this to Muxue when we get back," Cai Yuncui responded with a bitter smile.

"I know, I won't tell her."

"Yeah, if you tell her, she'll just get angry again."

Liu Chaoyan shook her head: "Can't blame her, if it were someone else…"

Cai Yuncui continued, "Yes, Muxue is a kind-hearted child… please keep an eye on her situation; it might not be incurable."

"Yes, I will. But Sister Cai, you've already graduated, don't worry about the team all the time." Liu Chaoyan smiled, her expression somewhat helpless, "Sister Xia is taking good care of everyone, and Xingshuang can cook… You've got your own life now, don't always worry about us, think about yourself too."

"I know!" Cai Yuncui puffed up her cheeks slightly.

Liu Chaoyan laughed, "How are the matchmaking efforts going, haven't found a good man yet? Do you want me to introduce someone?"

Cai Yuncui waved her hands frantically, "Spare me, please, now you're pushing marriage too! It's like I'm getting old, as if I won't be able to marry soon, right?"

"Hehehe… how could that be? Sister Cai, you're only 21, in the prime of your youth. Plus, with your charm, you could marry at any age."

"What are you staring at!"

Cai Yuncui blushed slightly and covered her chest.

"We're all really worried about you, hoping you'd find a good man soon, but also worried about you being deceived by a bad one, since you're so innocent and kind-hearted, not to mention you have a face that's easy to deceive."

"Alright, alright, you guys underestimate me too much. Tell you what, when I have a boyfriend, I'll definitely let you guys vet him first, okay?"

"Sure thing, it's a promise!"

"Really, you guys don't trust me at all, am I that easy to deceive..."

Liu Chaoyan laughed, and her expression gradually turned serious. "Caiyu, there's something I want to remind you about. We've all used the amplifier, and it has significant side effects, and its effects don't last long, so definitely don't overdo it, okay?"

Cai Yuncui's expression was indescribable. "I know, you don't need to worry about me... I've already graduated and become a teacher, I probably won't need it anymore."

"I'm still worried you might push yourself too hard, aren't you part of the reserves?"

"Ah, don't worry, don't worry!"

Cai Yuncui waved her hand.

"Alright, since you don't want to listen, I won't say more. That Shen Mochen..." Discover hidden content at My Virtual Library Empire

"What happened with Shen?"

Liu Chaoyan blinked. "What a pity... He has a girlfriend, otherwise, Xia would definitely fall for him."

Cai Yuncui hesitated for a moment. "Shen and his girlfriend are just so-so; he mentioned something about breaking up."

"Breaking up? With Alexandrova?" Liu Chaoyan seemed surprised.

"Yeah, it seems he doesn't really like her that much. They got together for various reasons, like he couldn't refuse at the time."

"I see..." Liu Chaoyan smiled, her eyes lowering. "Right, I heard his eighteenth birthday is coming up in a few days. Since both he and his sister are friends with you, they're friends of our 0819 squad too. Tomorrow, I'll prepare a birthday gift and have someone deliver it. Could you pass it on for me? In the name of the 0819 squad."

"No problem, Chaoyan, you really are thoughtful," Cai Yuncui said, but her expression wasn't great.

That was because Liu Chaoyan had mentioned Yin Caiyu.

"Um... Caiyu, there's something you need to be cautious of concerning Shen Mochen." Liu Chaoyan had not noticed Cai Yuncui's expression at the moment; she thought for a moment and then spoke. "I think he's quite cunning, as if he's hiding something under those eyes... He doesn't seem like a purely good person, more like he's playing a good person."

"Can't be, I know him very well, he definitely is a good kid!" Cai Yuncui asserted.

Beyond her instinctive "sister filter", just the fact that he saw her naked and didn't have any other thoughts, sincerely apologized, and never took advantage of her casually... These were enough to declare him a good kid!

"Sigh..." Liu Chaoyan smiled helplessly, sighed, and said no more. After all, she had no evidence now, and she could only get Xia Qingrou and the others to spread the word in the future. But...

"That little beggar, he's definitely hiding something," she murmured softly.

"What did you say?" Cai Yuncui blinked.

Liu Chaoyan smiled, "Oh, I just suddenly remembered a little beggar I met in my childhood... He snatched my donut."

Cai Yuncui also pretended to be huffy, "Hahaha, to snatch your donut, that's really too much!"

The two chatted idly for a while, and as they were parting, Liu Chaoyan bit her lip and slowly said, "Actually, something quite serious has happened recently..."

"What is it?"

"This is something I vaguely heard about; it seems a node in the south is about to completely collapse. Those mysterious amplifiers from our Yu Huai Country will almost all be there to control the situation, and even Roman and Huaqi Country have provided nuclear bombs in case of emergencies... Still, since it's a total collapse of a node, creatures might leak out. If they really spill over here, please stay calm, our active-duty personnel will handle everything. If you really want to do something, please join up with us first before acting. I shouldn't be telling you this, but Caiyu, you're really too kind-hearted, I worry about you."

"...Alright, I understand." Cai Yuncui was stunned for a moment, then nodded lightly.

"You don't seem surprised; did you already know?" Liu Chaoyan frowned slightly.

"Yeah, I heard it from a friend."

Cai Yuncui couldn't help but recall that almost ethereal, thin girl, who said, "We must protect the world with Shen," with firm determination and resolve in her eyes.
