"What’s that student’s name?"
"Jiang Qiuqiu."
Mr. Yuan praised Qiuqiu a few more times over the comm before finally hanging up.
Jiang Qiuqiu? Dean Zhu felt he had no recollection of the name, so he opened the admissions list again and glanced through it. Sure enough, he found no such person among the A-level students.
’Not even an A-level? Could she be an exceptionally talented B-level student then?’
He flipped further back and looked through the B-level list, but there was still no Jiang Qiuqiu.
"..."
’Old Yuan must have been tricked.’
’He’s trying to get a student with average qualifications in through the back door. So much for maintaining his integrity in his old age.’
He shook his head, having lost interest in Jiang Qiuqiu, and closed the list again.
Just as he stood up, his comm rang again.
"Hello? Dean Zhu?"
"General Bo’er?"
"Are you also calling to recommend someone? The peerless genius with heaven-sent talent, Jiang Qiuqiu?"
"..."
After hanging up, the expression on Dean Zhu’s face was rather strange.
But before he could even finish contemplating, his comm rang yet again.
"Hello... Mm-hmm, yes, the genius Jiang Qiuqiu? The golden child of the new Spirit Healing generation? General Tie, did you, General Bo’er, and Old Yuan all put this recommendation in together?"
"They recommended her to you too? It was all just calling in favors."
In the end, Dean Zhu even received a call from General Fang Ping. It was all about calling in favors. So, who on earth was this Jiang Qiuqiu?
’Before even enrolling, she’s already had four generals call in favors for her?’
’How did she manage that? And her surname is Jiang? That’s not even a prominent family name.’
So he opened the student list again. This time, he searched directly for "Jiang Qiuqiu," only to find that she wasn’t on the admissions list at all.
He was taken aback.
’She’s not on it?’
"..."
’What the hell? Did they get the wrong person?’
The events of the evening left Old Sir Zhu completely baffled. Where did this Jiang Qiuqiu come from? What Spirit Healing genius? He couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

The morning light was faint.
She opened her door early in the morning. All her luggage was carried by the butler and assistant robots to the small villa next door.
Just as Mo Si had said, the seasons on this planet changed very quickly and punctually. By the sixteenth of January, the temperature was already slowly rising.
Colors other than evergreen gradually appeared in the neighborhood. Small red and white flowers began to reappear on the green lawns.
Jiang Qiuqiu had also swapped her down jacket for a hooded sweatshirt.
Everything felt so youthful. When she came over to knock on his door, Mo Si had just finished getting ready himself.
When he opened the door, she stared at the sight before her, also taken aback.
"You... why are you suddenly dressed like that?"
For as long as she’d known him, Jiang Qiuqiu had almost exclusively seen Mo Si in military uniforms, overcoats, or trench coats. This was the first time she had ever seen him in such casual, athletic clothes.
The two of them had coincidentally chosen hoodies of a similar color.
"What’s wrong?" Mo Si felt a little strange himself. He tugged at his hood. "Is it ugly?"
"...No, you look very handsome."
Jiang Qiuqiu said, "It’s just... you suddenly look so much younger. I’m not used to it."
Mo Si, who had been fiddling with his hood, suddenly stopped. He lowered his hand and smoothed out his black pants. "Younger is better."
"Let’s get your things in the hovercar and go."
After they loaded the luggage, the two robots returned to the courtyard house on their own. Jiang Qiuqiu activated the butler’s standby mode and left it at that.
Meanwhile, Mo Si set their destination and engaged the auto-cruise function.
The hovercar ride from Starry Sky Wander to Federation University would take about an hour and a half. This was... the last hour and a half they would be able to spend so close together.
He couldn’t resist wrapping an arm around Jiang Qiuqiu.
