The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 834 - 833: Sui Yuan is Ya Qing

Chapter 834: Chapter 833: Sui Yuan is Ya Qing

Everyone nodded frantically. Could it be that Lu Mian was about to relent?

"Still want to take a photo with her?"

To take a photo?

Everyone agreed wholeheartedly, throwing up both hands and feet in support!

Lu Mian smiled gently, "Then I’ll ask Ya Qing."

"Alright."

Everyone waited quietly for her to ask, be it through text message or phone call, they were all ears.

Then...

There was no "then."

Lu Mian just sat there calmly, a smile lingering on her lips as she silently gazed at Sui Yuan.

Shouhao couldn’t sit still anymore, "Mianmian, why do you keep staring at Yuan? Be careful, Director Qimo might come over!"

This remark...

Lu Mian contained the gentle mischief in her brows and gave an "oh," withdrawing her gaze.

"I’ve asked, and she’s a bit shy. She needs a little time."

Everyone pulled a face:...

They might not be as smart as Lu Mian, but they weren’t idiots either.

"Mianmian, did you ask with your mind?" Shouhao suddenly teased.

Everyone wanted to laugh but dared not, so they just held it in.

"Yes, any problems with that?" Lu Mian responded as if it were completely natural.

Everyone:... Fine, fine, they’re the idiots, alright?

Sui Yuan sat in her seat and after drinking a large glass of juice, her mood slightly improved. She spoke up, "How about, we take a group photo now?"

Lu Mian’s brows arched.

Everyone thought that although they couldn’t take a photo with Ya Qing, a group picture of them all together was still worth commemorating.

"Come on, let’s listen to Yuan and take a group photo!" Shouhao immediately called out, "Miss waitress, could you help us take a picture, please?"

Shouhao took out his CP-fan dedicated camera from his backpack.

Shouhao glanced at Lu Mian, resignedly asking, "Mianmian, were you just fooling us... Are we still your cherished darlings?"

Lu Mian smiled without a word, simply cooperating quietly with everyone.

Centered around Lu Mian and Sui Yuan, everyone snuggled in close.

The waitress took quite a few snaps.

Shouhao took the camera, shared the photos to the newly created group, and made them available for everyone to download.

Sui Yuan also received the photos immediately, tapped her phone a few times, and then put it away.

Not long after, a classmate in the private room who was scrolling through social media suddenly smacked the table.

"Ya Qing posted on Weibo!"

As gossip pioneers, ever vigilant, everyone immediately pulled out their phones to check.

As fans of Ya Qing, they had set special alerts for her posts, and with Lu Mian’s connection, they all cared deeply about Ya Qing’s updates.

When they clicked to see the Weibo post—

"Ah ah ah ah—"

The private room erupted with successive screams.

"It’s me! I actually appeared in Ya Qing’s Weibo post!"

"Not just you, okay? All of us showed up in Ya Qing’s Weibo post!"

The photo Ya Qing had just updated was the group photo they had just taken.

"So, how did Ya Qing get this photo?"

Shouhao, with his cute demeanor, turned to Lu Mian, "Mianmian, did you send it to Ya Qing?"

Shouhao immediately received a noogie from Shouhao, "As the son of Director Guo, think outside the box, will you?"

Everyone turned to look at Shouhao simultaneously, excited yet baffled.

Shouhao said profoundly while stroking his chin, "There’s only one truth, Ya Qing is among us!"

After he finished speaking, he even provided his own background music.

Caught off guard, Pang Hao turned to look at Lu Mian, seeking an explanation.

"So, who exactly is this person?"

Just when everyone was baffled, Pang Hao accidentally bumped into a chair, and Sui Yuan’s backpack, which was stacked on the chair, fell heavily to the ground.

The zipper of the backpack was slightly open, and the books inside slipped out all at once with a swish.

"Yuan jie, I’m so sorry!"

Pang Hao hurriedly squatted down to pick things up for Sui Yuan, and while picking them up, he asked, "Didn’t you say you brought local products? Why so many books?"

He held the brand-new book in his hand, glanced at it, and froze.

"Her Secret"... Volume Two?"

"You must’ve seen it wrong, the second volume hasn’t been released for sale yet!" Zhang Yanyan reminded.

"No, it’s not that..." Pang Hao looked towards Sui Yuan abruptly, as something in his mind connected, and he flipped open the title page of the second volume. Sure enough, he found Ya Qing’s unique signature on it.

It was even a signed edition!!!

"Yuan jie... is this, this your local product?" Since the second volume hadn’t been released yet and Sui Yuan already had these books, which were signed editions, Pang Hao might’ve been slow to catch on, but he understood now, "Yuan jie, are you Ya Qing?!"

"What?"

Everybody swarmed around in an instant.

Worried about the others’ excessive behavior, Lu Mian raised her leg, applied some force with her toe, and slid Sui Yuan’s chair, along with her, a bit closer.

Sui Yuan scratched her short hair shyly, "Don’t fight... I brought a lot..."

"Aoow—Our favorite author has been right beside us all along!"

"Cang Xue and Ya Qing, they truly are best friends!"

——

Lu Mian’s private room was lively indeed, with screams nearly bursting through the ceiling.

In contrast, Xiao Qimo’s side was filled with leaders and elders, everyone was respectful and cautious, demonstrating impeccable table manners.

With Xiao Jianli and Xiao Qimo here, and Lu Mian taking charge next door, it was like two different worlds.

Xiao Qimo was self-aware; he knew that if he stayed in the other box, the youngsters wouldn’t be able to have fun.

Yet, he was also curious about the commotion next door. He snapped his fingers to signal Mo Si at the door to come over.

"Master."

Xiao Qimo elegantly instructed, "Go see if Mianmian’s room has enough juice."

Mo Si responded with an "Oh," fully understanding the implication.

This wasn’t about checking on the juice at all, but rather having him keep an eye on Miss Lu.

Well, that was good, since he hadn’t completed his task of "hugging the big thigh" for the day.

Ding Cai took a sip of his tea, listening to the muffled cries from the next room chanting "Cang Xue, Ya Qing," and he commented, "The year with Lu Mian has indeed been full of color!"

He was quite startled when he found out Lu Mian was Cang Xue.

Xiao Jianli raised his cup towards Ding Cai, "Mianmian is lucky to have Teacher Ding’s care!"

"Oh, it’s nothing, Director Qimo has taken good care of her."

Everyone followed with a chuckle, and Principal Zhang smacked his lips, "Looks like Director Qimo is about to resign, right?"

Xiao Qimo elegantly swirled his teacup, the answer was obvious.

Wan Lin was also invited to be present, sitting next to Ding Cai, he muttered softly, "Luckily, the students in our class are all very normal."

Ding Cai’s pocket housed his antihypertensive medication and Fast-acting Heart-saving Pills, kept secret and discreet.

"Ah, you get used to it."

Wan Lin shook his head, how could that be possible?

It must have been tough for Ding Cai, all the way along, consuming quite a number of blood pressure meds and Fast-acting Heart-saving Pills.

It wasn’t until Mo Si returned from the next room, scanning the group, that his gaze finally rested on Wan Lin.

He swallowed nervously.

"They say, Sui Yuan is Ya Qing."
