October 6.
That afternoon, Silver Fox drove Chen Na to the academy, where Guan Tong, whom they had arranged to meet over the phone the day before, was waiting at the entrance.
The moment Chen Na got out of the car and saw Guan Tong, she waved and jogged over. "Little Brother Guan!"
Guan Tong waved back and walked up to meet her.
"Xiao Na, you've grown taller again."
The last time Guan Tong had seen Chen Na was during the Earthquake Rule. However, he had disguised his identity then. Chen Na did not know he was Shadow and had only found him somewhat familiar.
More than four months had passed since that Rule, nearly half a year. Chen Na had shot up another stretch, and no one would have found it strange to mistake her for a girl in her second or third year of middle school.
"Hehe." Chen Na smiled shyly. "Maybe the food at the base is better, and Mind Power enhancement probably played a part too."
Guan Tong nodded.
It had long been public knowledge that the younger one was when they awakened Mind Power, the greater their future potential. Someone Chen Na's age would benefit enormously from it.
Just then, Silver Fox walked over after parking the car. Chen Na introduced them, "Little Brother Guan, this is Sister Silver Fox. Sister Silver Fox, this is Little... Brother Guan Tong."
"I know." Silver Fox took off her sunglasses and extended her hand to Guan Tong. "You're the lecturer who replaced Shi Jingyi. You're quite famous online."
Although Guan Tong had met Silver Fox several times before, his acting was still convincing. He shook her hand and said, "I'm only filling in. Shi Jingyi will return next month, and I'll leave the academy once her classes resume."
