Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

"Has Professor Fu had lunch?"

Thanks to the arrival of professionals, a meeting was completed with amazing efficiency.

Professor Chang Mo, who had his leave approved at the speed of light, faced the heavy responsibility entrusted by his students. He simply said goodbye and left in a hurry, leaving Fu Qian and the other two there.

After watching this scene, Liushuang looked back with a smile, looking even more relaxed than before.

"No."

As she expected, Professor Fu was too busy to take care of such a small matter.

"……breakfast?"

"I ate that one, but I can eat it again now."

Fu Qian answered and gestured.

"You've worked hard during this period. I'll treat you to a good meal."

Hehe...

The first thing the leader did when he came back was team building. Ji Liushuang obviously had no objection to such treatment.

Although it is really doubtful whether the leader has any money on him.

……

"It's been less than a week, but Professor Fu, have you noticed that the changes are huge?"

There are many places to fill your stomach within the academy, but Fu Qian obviously doesn't want to be so perfunctory, so he signals the research assistant to find a place to eat outside.

The latter readily agreed and even took his leader on a wobbly tram.

This vehicle, painted dark red, is obviously old, but it is still very popular.

Many men, women, young and old were sitting on the worn-out seats. It was not quiet but also quite lively.

After guiding Fu Qian to sit down, Liu Shuang seemed to be infected by the atmosphere and started talking about the weather while looking out the window.

"Winter is quite long here in the academy, and it got cold too early this year, so it looks like it will be especially long. Maybe it will snow soon."

"Oh?"

Although ordinary changes in temperature were almost meaningless to him, Professor Fu, who had a rare opportunity to take public transportation, looked outside casually for a moment.

Compared to the last time I came back, it was indeed a bit bleak in early winter, so even though it was noon, there were not many pedestrians on the street.

"I have been in the academy for less than two years, but I still have a deep impression of the winter here. In addition to the heavy snow, the most special thing is those snow-covered trees..."

Ji Liushuang pointed to both sides of the road.

"The reason for this name is that no matter how cold it is, the leaves will not fall off. What's more interesting is that if snow falls on them, the leaves will turn white together."

"That's pretty amazing."

Fu Qian also listened to such interesting stories with great interest.

Although this plant, called the snow tree, did not look anything special from his perspective.

"I'm sorry for taking the liberty of deciding to do that."

While chatting, Ji Liushuang remembered something and lowered his voice.

"How could that be? Our laboratory has always kept public and private affairs separate. That thing originally belonged to you."

Fu Qian didn't even turn his head, but waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to think too much.

"And you did a great job. If it were me, I would make the same choice."

Not only that, he even gave high praise to Ji Liushuang's handling method.

As mentioned before, apart from the symbolic meaning and occasional enlightenment, there is really no need for Liushuang to carry the Excalibur all the time for self-defense.

As something that the Canjian Academy has longed for, in this troubled time, if a mentor can really benefit from it, it can be said to be an absolute good thing. Even so, not everyone can make such a straightforward decision to share.

……

"Dean Li has not seen anyone since the day you left. It seems that he has touched upon some kind of opportunity for promotion. Now the entire Canjian Academy is looking forward to it..."

Professor Fu’s high recognition made Liu Shuang feel a little embarrassed. She just looked at the street scene without saying a word.

Only after she got off the car and joined the pedestrians in the cold wind did she continue the previous chat, explaining the changes that had taken place since Qifu left.

"Lite has recovered well, and her sister Weier has also shown great talent and joined the academy. Professor Lanaya is very happy about this..."

"Also, the new waiter at the store she frequents is very conscientious and doesn't do anything special..."

Sunny?
The last sentence naturally reminded Fu Qian of the Dragon King's oath-bearer.

It seems that she is quite accustomed to living here and is not in a hurry to change the status quo. In this case, we might as well respect her personal choice.

I just don’t know if it will become the shadow of Professor Lanaya’s drinking.

"What about your home?"

Nodding slightly, Fu Qian did not comment on these, but instead showed some concern for the assistant's family life.

"There is no new news..."

Unable to hide her surprise, although she didn't understand why Fu Qian suddenly mentioned this, Ji Liushuang obviously didn't think he would ask this for no reason.

"Last night, An Jing took some retaliatory actions against the Siren, and the scale was not small."

Fu Qian didn't let her guess and explained casually.

"…I see. Because the gospel group is relatively independent, I don't exchange much information with my family."

Although he was focused on his studies, Ji Liushuang was still able to figure out what this conflict represented. He explained it while sighing silently.

After all, it's a special situation.

Fu Qian did not offer any meaningless comfort.

This action might be top secret, but for Ji Shi, who played an important role in the conflict between the two organizations, while they would be happy to see it happen, they would certainly be paying close attention to the situation. The probability that they have not received the news by now is extremely small.

At the same time, considering that the tacit understanding between Ji Shi and Siren is not so secret, it is not impossible that An Jing, who has entered an unstable state, will do some irrational behavior against them.

In this situation, the theoretical "next head of the family" has not even received any reminder until now, which shows the ambiguous attitude of the Ji family.

It is inevitable that Liushuang has complicated feelings.

But it doesn’t matter. Learning to manage your inner expectations is an important lesson in adulthood. In fact, she has done a good job.

“There’s no need to be so pessimistic.”

After Liu Shuang quietly digested this information for a moment, Fu Qian finally said something to comfort her, and even pointed his chin towards something while speaking.

Ms. Jia Keke, the research assistant's assistant, was rushing over from that direction.

"Angui?"

Ji Liushuang noticed this only after being reminded. He was stunned for a moment before his eyes regained their spirits and he looked at Fu Qian inquiringly.

"should be."

Fu Qian agreed with her guess. The person in the Ji family who was most concerned about Ji Liushuang's safety was undoubtedly her mother Ji Xue. It was a pity that the latter might not be so well-informed.

Relatively speaking, the probability of the reminder coming from Angui Demigod who has already placed a bet is indeed higher.

"Don't worry, I'm safe with Professor Fu."

The two did not say anything more. By the time Jia Keke rushed over, Ji Liushuang's mind had completely calmed down, and there was no sign of anything unusual. (End of this chapter)
