She had already prepared her words of blessing, and after saying them she went back to her seat to eat.

But what can I say? Even after returning to her seat, she still felt awkward, because the people sitting at the same table with her were basically older people, and they were all talking about their children and grandchildren. Rong Xi said that she really couldn't get a word in, so she could only eat quietly.

After the wedding, Rong Xi started preparing for the final exams. She was busy during this period, and also had to translate things for Professor Rong, so she rarely saw Fu Mochen. Even if she saw him in class, she was always called away by the professor for various reasons.

No time to spend time together properly.

The system once again began to urge, "Rong Xi, the progress of the tasks in this world is really a bit slow. We still have to hurry up to prevent any changes. 】

What does Rong Xi's guidance system mean? The time they traveled through was calculated by the system, so they can contact the mission targets at the nearest time.

As time goes by, the mission object might fall in love with someone else, and then it would be difficult for Rong Xi to handle the situation.

"Got it, don't worry, the holidays are coming soon, so we'll have time then."

The system obviously didn't believe it, because the night before yesterday, Jiang's father specially called Rong Xi to the study and asked her if she wanted to join the company for some experience after the end of this semester.

Rong Xi agreed at that time, so the system became anxious.

In the interval of talking with the system, Rong Xi once again came to the familiar office of Xuan Rong'an.

She secretly calculated in her mind that there was only one week left to complete the translation of the document. When she thought about finishing this busy task, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose and her mood became relaxed and happy.

But when she got outside the office, her eyes fell on the men in black at the door, and her steps stopped involuntarily.

Those men were all tall and strong with stern faces, emitting an indescribable intimidation. They looked very similar to the bodyguards around Jiang's father.

Rong Xi couldn't help but wonder, why did such a group of bodyguards suddenly appear outside Professor Xuan's office? Could it be that some important person came to discuss something?

She stood there, feeling a little conflicted, and was hesitating whether to step forward. At this moment, Nian Xi, who had been following Professor Xuan, walked out of the office in a hurry.

Nian Xi saw Rong Xi at a glance, and a hint of anxiety flashed across his face. After seeing Rong Xi, the anxiety instantly turned into surprise. However, this surprise was only fleeting, and he quickly concealed it with an indifferent look.

"Miss Jiang, you are here. My master is inside. Please come with me." Nian Xi said with a slight bow.

Rong Xi looked past Nian Xi and glanced at the men in black behind him again. She became more suspicious. She hesitated and refused, "Um, is Professor Xuan busy? Otherwise, I'll come back later."

Seeing Rong Xi's refusal, Nian Xi hurriedly took a step forward, as if he was afraid that she would leave.

"Miss Jiang, since you are already here, why don't you go in and sit for a while? It won't be too late to leave later. Besides, my master has something to tell you."

Although Rong Xi was still somewhat worried, at Nian Xi's invitation, he finally followed him through the group of men in black.

In the end, Xi still followed Nian Xi through the group of men in black. They were all very imposing, with their hands behind their backs, and were extremely alert, as if they would react immediately if there was any disturbance.

Walking into Xuan Rongan's office, Rong Xi discovered that the bright and transparent space in the past was now covered tightly by curtains. There was only one lamp emitting dim light in the room, and the light was so dim that one could hardly see the surrounding environment.

Nian Xi, who came in behind her, disappeared quietly at some point, and Rong Xi didn't even notice the moment he left.

She stood there in confusion and called out softly and tentatively, "Professor."

"You're here." Xuan Rong'an's voice came faintly from behind the desk. It was only then that Rong Xi could barely see the figure there.

"Why don't you turn on the light? Professor, are you feeling unwell?"

Rong Xi didn't mean to think badly, but the situation made her think of some bad things, such as whether Professor Xuan was drugged or something. But this is the college, how could such a ridiculous thing happen?

Also, why did Nian Xi call me in so eagerly?

"System, fitness pills."

Rong Xi felt uneasy, so she decided to make preparations in advance just in case.

Xuan Rongan had excellent eyesight. Even in the dim light, he could clearly see Rong Xi's every move, including the subtle movement of her taking out a pill from somewhere and putting it into her mouth.

A bitter smile emerged in his heart. This girl was so defensive against him.

"I, I have to leave for a while recently." Xuan Rongan said slowly.

When Rong Xi heard it, he keenly noticed that there seemed to be a hint of physical discomfort in his voice, as if he was trying hard to endure something.

She couldn't help but ask with concern: "Professor, are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to call a doctor for you? Or..."

Before Rong Xi finished speaking, Xuan Rongan interrupted her: "Xixi, listen to me."

Rong Xi felt a little surprised to hear him calling her by her nickname so intimately, but she had no time to care about it at the moment and just listened attentively to his next words.

"Professor, you speak, and I listen."

"Well, I will be away for a while. I will finish the translation myself, so you don't need to come here."

When Rong Xi heard this, he was immediately delighted and quickly responded with a "yes".

"Xixi, I will be back in half a month at most. Can you promise me something?"

Rong Xi thought, the academy will be on vacation in half a month, will they ask her to translate something? She was about to refuse, but Xuan Rongan seemed to see through her thoughts and said, "I'm not asking you to help translate the materials."

Hearing this, Rong Xi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you talking about, Professor? I'm glad to be able to help you, but what do you want me to promise you?"

Suddenly, a faint fragrance wafted into Rong Xi's nose. He felt a flash before his eyes. Xuan Rong'an, who had been sitting at the desk, had come to his side quietly without him noticing.

"System, how come..." Rong Xi hadn't finished her words when she felt dizzy. Her consciousness gradually blurred and she couldn't remember what happened next.

She only vaguely felt that Xuan Rongan seemed to kiss her forehead, but it all seemed like an illusory dream, which made her very confused.
