As Shi Yao left the antique market together with Leng Nuan and Jiang Yue, she caught sight of a familiar face.
She… What is she doing here?

Shi Yao unwittingly halted in her footsteps to look at that person, her head tilted slightly in contemplation.

Yaoyao?
Leng Nuan had walked a few more steps forward when she suddenly realized that Shi Yao wasn’t following along, so she turned around and called for her.
There was no response from Shi Yao.


Jiang Yue also turned her head around to beckon Shi Yao,
Yaoyao, what are you standing there in a daze for? It’s a really hot day. You’ll get sunburned standing out in the open like that…

Shi Yao still did not move.
Noticing an anomaly in Shi Yao’s response, Leng Nuan traced her gaze. When she finally saw the person whom Shi Yao was staring at, her eyes widened in surprise,
What is she doing here?


Who is it?
Jiang Yue asked in intrigue. Upon seeing that Leng Nuan had gone nonresponsive as well, she traced Leng Nuan’s gaze as well. Soon enough, her mouth fell agape in astonishment and she exclaimed,
Campus Farce Qin? She’s actually in the antique market as well? Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?


It’s indeed too much of a coincidence, to the point that it sends shivers down my spine…
Leng Nuan remarked contemplatively.

Ah?
Jiang Yue was startled by Leng Nuan’s remark.
Nuan. are you serious? I am about to be baked under the hot sun, but you are actually shivering over here?

Shi Yao, who had been silent all this while, turned around and met Leng Nuan’s eye,
You’re right. It’s so coincidental that I can’t help but think that it’s a deliberate action instead. Well, we’ll find out very soon, once we head over to take a look.


Un,
Leng Nuan nodded in agreement.
Jiang Yue was even confused after listening to the conversation between the two of them. She looked at Leng Nuan before turning her gaze to Shi Yao, the look on her face more blank than ever,
What are the two of you talking about? I don’t understand at all…


It’s fine that you don’t understand. Follow us…
Leng Nuan said as she held Jiang Yue’s elbow and brought her over to Shi Yao’s side. After which, the three of them returned down the road they had just come from, back to the store where Shi Yao bought her inkstone from.


This time, they did not enter the store but waited in the shadows instead.
Due to the sweltering weather, Jiang Yue swatted her hand furiously to cool herself down as she asked in confusion,
I don’t get it at all. What are the two of you up to? Why are we hiding over here?

If we really want to know want Campus Farce Qin is up to, we should be following right behind her, right…

How long more do we need to wait for? When can we go…
At this point, one could already hear lethargy creeping into Jiang Yue’s words.
Just as Jiang Yue was about to lose her patience, Qin Yiran finally appeared in the vicinity.
But this time, she was not alone. She had another person standing right by her side.
And the person standing beside Qin Yiran was someone whom Shi Yao was even more familiar with—Liang Mumu.
Seeing such a sight, the withering Jiang Yue immediately sprung back to life with a full HP bar,
My gosh, am I seeing things? Campus Farce Qin is actually acquainted with Liang Mumu?

Leng Nuan was much quieter than the agitated Jiang Yue, but the astonishment in the depths of her eyes was apparent.
Only Shi Yao remained perfectly calm in this situation. Pursing her lips lightly together, she gazed fixedly at the duo as they entered the antique store where she bought her inkstone from amidst light chatter and laughter.


Qin Yiran and Liang Mumu did not stay in the store for too long before returning to the streets once more.
Compared to before they entered the store, the smile on Liang Mumu’s face had blossomed much more radiantly, and there were even some hints of excitement if one were to observe closely.
Perhaps it was due to the sweltering weather, neither Liang Mumu nor Qin Yiran was willing to remain under the scorching sun for too long. Their footsteps were brisk, and it didn’t take long for them to disappear from sight.

Say, do you know why Qin Yiran and Liang Mumu went to the store where we have just gone to earlier?
Jiang Yue asked.
Leng Nuan pondered for a moment before shaking her head,
I can’t figure out their intention.


Yaoyao, what about you?
Jiang Yue directed her hopes toward Shi Yao.
