Ruan Qi spent a long time in her bedroom talking to herself in analysis mode.
Just when Bai Li was tortured to the point of nearly revealing himself, there was the sound of 'swish swish' of a dog scratching at the door from outside.
At the same time, Nie Heng's voice came through, "Senior Sister, are you awake? Master Xi is here."
Upon hearing Xi Jiu, the previously distracted Ruan Qi immediately gathered her thoughts.
She threw off the covers, jumped out of bed, and ran to the door on her bare feet to open it.
Nie Heng, who was just about to knock, was startled.
He quickly retracted his hand, "Senior Sister…"
Before he finished speaking, the slender girl rushed past him... and into Xi Jiu's arms who was standing behind him.
"Jiujiu!~" The young girl happily exclaimed.
Nie Heng, who was completely ignored: "..."
Senior Sister, do you remember you have a junior brother?
...
A few minutes later, footsteps were heard on the stairs.
