2022 Qin Si: Another “Online Friend”?
Outside the Seaview Pavilion.

Ye Wangchuan and Qin Si were both here.

Qin Si was sitting in the back row. It was unknown if he was there from the beginning or if he had changed seats at the last minute.

Thus, the front passenger seat was empty.

Qiao Nian opened the door and got into the passenger seat.

Throughout the entire process, she did not notice a pair of eyes secretly spying on her in the Seaview Pavilion.

In the car.

“Your friend didn’t come out with you?”

Ye Wangchuan placed one hand on the steering wheel. Today, he was wearing a blue shirt and a windbreaker as usual.

However, the air conditioner was on, so he took it off and threw it aside. The cuffs of his shirt were rolled up, revealing a strong arm.

He sat there with an outstanding bearing.

At this moment, as he drove towards his residence, he turned his head slightly and asked casually, “Did he want something?”

Qin Si also chimed in curiously. “That’s right, Sister Qiao. Which friend of yours is it? A man or a woman?”

Ye Wangchuan’s eyes were deep as his thin lips curled up. He did not ask Qiao Nian about her friend’s gender and only asked in a low voice, “You told me that he’s an ‘online friend’?”

Qiao Nian glanced at him sideways and saw the tooth marks on his lips. It was very arrogant.

A certain someone had no intention of hiding it. He walked around openly displaying it.

She supported her chin with her hand and lazily found a comfortable position to nestle in.

She did not have time to answer. Qin Si’s reaction was even greater than hers. “F*ck, another ‘online friend’? Sister Qiao’s ‘online friends’ are each more powerful than the other. Don’t tell me this is some big boss or something?”

“… Sister Qiao, why did your ‘online friend’ suddenly ask to meet you? Is he also from the Independent Continent?”

Qin Si looked like he was thirsty for knowledge. The word “gossip” was just short of appearing on his forehead.

A little speechless, Qiao Nian pressed down on her baseball cap to hide her dark eyes and replied lazily, “Ah.”

“Huh?” Qin Si clearly didn’t just want this answer.

He was about to ask her again when Qiao Nian took out her phone from her shoulder bag and saw another message from Feng Yu.

The time was a minute ago.
[Indigo Collar: Sun, think about what I told you about entering the Level 8 laboratory. I’ll wait for your reply.]

She stared at the phone screen for a long time.

Coincidentally, Qin Si asked about her ‘online friend’ again. Qiao Nian put her phone back and said casually, “He’s from the Independent Continent, but I’m not sure what he does.”

“Sister Qiao, you don’t even know what he does?” Qin Si looked surprised. After all, it was rare for her not to know a person’s background.

Qiao Nian had no intention of hiding it from them. “Yes, I don’t know.”

“Then…”

Ye Wangchuan also glanced at her sideways, but he was not as gossipy as Qin Si. He had always been like a girl when it came to gossip. If Qiao Nian wanted to say it, she would say it. If she didn’t, he wouldn’t ask.

“We’ve been in contact online previously. It’s someone in the group.” Qiao Nian did not reply to Feng Yu’s message for now and kept her phone in her hand. Her fair fingers rested on the phone case, giving off a cynical and casual feeling. “I don’t know where he heard it from, but he knows that I came to the Independent Continent and asked me to meet him. Then, he asked if I wanted to enter the Level 8 laboratory of the First Research Institute. I haven’t replied to him yet.”
