Chapter 1515 Going to School?!
“Physical sketch?” Lin Qiye was stunned, “There’s such a thing?”
“Yes, I saved it on my phone, let me show you.”
Chen Han took out her phone, opened a photo, and handed it to Lin Qiye, whose expression immediately became strange.
If Chen Han hadn’t thoughtfully turned the photo right-side up before handing it to him, Lin Qiye wouldn’t have been able to tell that the thing that looked like a large fly was supposed to be. The messy lines gathered together couldn’t be said to resemble the monster from that day – it would be more accurate to say they were completely unrelated.
“Are you sure the people at headquarters can recognize this thing?” Lin Qiye couldn’t help but criticize, “Just these few crooked lines, isn’t it too abstract?”
Chen Han smiled sheepishly, “My drawing skills aren’t very good… this is already my best effort.”
“Never mind, I’ll draw one and send it over later. Although it won’t be much better than yours, at least the outline will be clearer,” Lin Qiye sighed.
Lin Qiye said goodbye to everyone and returned to his temporary residence, where Cao Yuan was sitting alone on the sofa watching TV.
“Where’s Qingyu?”
“Jiang Er is pushing his wheelchair, they’re sunbathing in the backyard.”
“Did Dr. Li’s medicine arrive?”
“It came last night. He took a few pills, but they don’t seem to have any effect… After taking them for a while longer, who knows if they’ll work.” Cao Yuan sighed, “Qiye, I don’t think this is working.”
“What?”
“Although we’re keeping him company, Qingyu has still been rather depressed lately. This morning, Jiang Er secretly told me that he got up in the middle of the night again to try using [Unique Solution], and ended up with a headache all night.”
Hearing this, Lin Qiye sighed helplessly.
He had anticipated An Qingyu would react this way. After all, An Qingyu was the deputy captain of [Night Curtain], and now that he had lost his legs and couldn’t use his forbidden domain, he must feel incredibly frustrated.
This outwardly gentle and mild-mannered man was actually very stubborn with himself. He wouldn’t accept such an absurd and cruel reality.
Lin Qiye walked to the back door and glanced into the yard. An Qingyu looked even more haggard than yesterday.
“So what do you think we should do?”
“Perhaps we could try to divert his attention?” Cao Yuan tentatively suggested. “He stays in this small house every day, naturally unable to escape the shadow of his aftereffects. If we could shift his focus from his condition to something else, it might improve both his mentality and physical condition.”
“You have a point.”
Lin Qiye pondered thoughtfully, “How about taking him to stay at the Beijing station for a while? It’s going to get very lively there soon, which should attract his attention.”
Before Cao Yuan could respond, Lin Qiye rejected his own idea, “No, that won’t work. Fang Mo and the others are forming a new team, which will definitely trigger his memories and put more pressure on him… It’s best to avoid anything related to Night Watchers, Great Xia, or the Mist.
Let me think about this…”
Lin Qiye paced back and forth for a long time, unable to think of anything that could both attract An Qingyu’s attention and bring him joy to relieve his pressure.
Cao Yuan had no good suggestions either. With no other choice, Lin Qiye could only sink his consciousness into the Gods’ Mental Hospital to seek inspiration.
“Azhu.”
Lin Qiye walked down the corridor and tapped Azhu, who was crouching stealthily in the kitchen.
Azhu was startled and almost cried out. He quickly covered his mouth with one hand while hiding half a pastry behind his back with the other, still rapidly chewing something in his mouth.
“Oh, it’s the Director…” Azhu mumbled indistinctly, then forcefully swallowed before speaking, “Do you need something?”
“What are you doing?”
“I… I was just inspecting the kitchen’s hygiene.”
“…” Lin Qiye looked at the pastry crumbs at the corner of his mouth but didn’t expose him. Instead, he asked, “Where’s Li Yifei?”
“Manager Li? He’s inspecting the staff dormitory. I, I’ll go call him for you!” Azhu quickly ran out of the kitchen, stuffing the remaining half of the pastry into his mouth and disappearing in a flash.
Soon after, Li Yifei walked over briskly.
“Qiye, did you need me for something?”
“Nothing important, just wanted to chat.”
“Hehe, that’s rare… Wait, I’ll have someone bring some tables and chairs. Let’s talk in the courtyard. By the way, they tried making some peach shortbread cookies this morning, and there are plenty left.” Li Yifei went into the kitchen and felt around in a cabinet, then paused in surprise.
He suspiciously pulled out his hand, looking at the half peach cookie that remained, with a clear set of small tooth marks on it, and grumbled,
“Damn it, which little thief stole my cookies again? If I find out, I’ll break their legs!”
“It’s fine, I already ate before coming here,” Lin Qiye waved dismissively. “By the way, why did you start making peach cookies?”
“I was just bored… Remember when we made a cake for my birthday last time? I figured I had some talent in cooking, so I tried making something with them in the kitchen, and look, I actually succeeded!”
Li Yifei stood with his hands on his hips, declaring confidently, “Qiye, next time you must try them, these peach cookies taste really good.”
As he listened to Li Yifei’s chatter, something suddenly flashed through Lin Qiye’s mind.
“What did you just say?”
“? I said the peach cookies taste good.”
“Before that.”
“Oh, I have a talent for cooking!”
“…Before that!”
“I… was bored, and then made a cake for my birthday… what’s worth repeating about that?”
“Birthday…” Lin Qiye murmured these two words, as if something had occurred to him, his eyes suddenly brightening!
He grabbed Li Yifei’s shoulders, startling him.
“What’s wrong?”
“Li Yifei.” Lin Qiye looked into his eyes and said seriously, “Do you… still remember what I promised you?”
…
“Go to school?!”
Hearing these three words, Cao Yuan, An Qingyu, and Jiang Er were all stunned.
“That’s right.” Lin Qiye nodded slightly, “Come to think of it, An Qingyu and I didn’t even finish high school before forming our team. Now that the situation in Great Xia has stabilized and we have vacation time, rather than sitting around doing nothing every day, why not go experience school properly?”
Seeing Lin Qiye’s gaze, Cao Yuan seemed to guess his intention and nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes… that’s a good idea.”
“But… we’re already twenty-three, how can we go back to high school?” An Qingyu couldn’t help asking.
“Who said anything about high school?”
Lin Qiye leaned back in his chair unhurriedly, smiling as he said, “We’re… going to Beijing University.”
