"Miss Ji is now of age, so according to custom, she needs to take responsibility for certain matters."
After handing over the letter, Fu Qian and the other person said nothing for a moment, so Jia Keke continued to explain.
"To conserve as much of her energy as possible, I'll be staying here as her assistant from now on."
"I only arrived today, and since it was so late, I thought I'd pay you a visit tomorrow. I didn't expect to run into you here. I suppose you could say it was a remarkable coincidence..."
I see. That made sense.
Lanaia knew a little about Ji Liushuang's background, of course.
So was that why she'd gone home this time?
She'd told the academy that something had come up at home... With a behemoth of this scale, matters involving the distribution of power were rarely simple. It was no surprise there'd been a few twists along the way.
Lanaia nodded to herself.
But this only explained Jia Keke's presence. If anything, it made another theory seem even more alarming: a love letter, from Ji Liushuang?
For a moment, she couldn't help staring at Fu Qian.
Was he actually serious about tutoring a female student outside of class? But that was a world away from...
Her curiosity flared, but she saw Fu Qian lower his head and open the letter.
How forward of him. Both Lanaia and Jia Keke instinctively turned their eyes away.
Luckily, Fu Qian read quickly. In less than ten seconds, he set the letter down, sparing them any further awkwardness.
"Thanks for your hard work. I'll be counting on you to look after Liushuang from now on."
But the first thing he said after reading the letter instantly made the atmosphere strange.
"You're too kind... It's my duty."
