With words without the slightest hesitation were said, both of them were startled.

Qi Qing tilted his head away uncomfortably, his lips pursed up until it lost its color, and only after a moment did he turn his head back, saying with a calm tone: “To me, you’re harmless.”

After being stunned for a moment, Ji Xingjue quickly reacted―indeed, in a place like the Imperial Capital where everyone had powerful backers, he only had his own back view. No matter how one looks at it, he was harmless to Qi Qing.

Moreover, it was better compared to just finding a stranger with unknown origin. After all, they were also still considered as childhood sweethearts.

He then understandably nodded, “I understand, what do I need to cooperate with you?”

Qi Qing seemed to be considering whether he really understood. He stared at him for a few seconds without blinking, before lowering his eyes, “Attend His Majesty’s banquet together tomorrow night.”

There would be two classes in the morning, and there would be a public lecture in the afternoon. An appointment meeting with the military counterpart to check the progress of catching up with the Chief Marshal’s returns had been made in the morning the day after tomorrow.

There were also serious errors in the data reported by several researchers today, and he was planning to solve it tomorrow…

However, when the words came to his lips, Ji Xingjue swallowed them all back.

The young master’s temper was getting more and more uncertain and while he was on someone’s territory, it was better to say less to ensure that he could still see tomorrow’s sun.

Qi Qing turned on the light screen again and stopped speaking. Ji Xingjue consciously exited the study and returned to the guest bedroom.

After changing his residence, it was as if he had suddenly moved from a wretched, worn out and shabby little barrack to a magnificent palace, so comfortable enough to make Ji Xing feel uncomfortable and out of place everywhere.

He sat on the soft sofa, pondered for a while, and laughed inwardly that he was really as Qi Qing had said, as poor as ever.

After sitting on the sofa for a while, Ji Xingjue turned on his optical computer, imported the error data reported by several researchers today, and began to analyze and solve them one by one.

The night outside the window gradually darkened, and the sound of the wind and snow that had been roaring all day gradually quieted, but the rustling sound of the wind blowing on the window was still buzzing.

Ji Xingjue broke free from the state of concentration and rubbed his dry eyes, only to notice that the subtle rustling sound was not coming from outside the window, but from outside the door. 　

When he walked over to open the door in wonder, no one presented in his line of sight, however, his knee was slightly knocked by something. He lowered his head only to see the little robot at his knees.

The little guy was already fully charged, and slammed the door with great energy. Seeing the door open, he jumped over excitedly: “I want to sleep with Mama!”

Ji Xingjue firmly refused: “No.”

The little robot felt a bit wronged: “I want to sleep with Mama.”

“I don’t want to.”

The little robot was persistent: “Sleep together.”

“Go find your papa.”

The author has something to say:

Xiao Ji: It’s outrageous.
