The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 836 - 835: Outstanding Husband Medal

Chapter 836: Chapter 835: Outstanding Husband Medal

The packaging of the Nourishing Elixir looked a bit cheap, just a plain plastic medicine box.

The name was quite unique, an unheard-of health supplement brand, and it didn’t seem like something valuable. Looking closer at the usage instructions on the back: one pill per month for adults, one pill at a time.

Everyone: ...so it’s a monthly disposable type, huh.

If Lu Mian hadn’t scored 789 points, the elders would have suspected that she was duped by some health supplement salesperson.

"Okay, we’ll accept it."

After all, it was a thoughtful gesture from Lu Mian, and everyone accepted it with a smile.

After Lu Mian handed out the Nourishing Elixir, she said a few words and prepared to go back next door.

"I’ll walk her out," Xiao Qimo stood up, stating both earnestly and shamelessly.

It was just a wall apart, what need was there for him to walk her?

But the man still shamelessly followed her out, stopping her in the hallway, his voice tinged with a touch of plaintiveness, "Who sent you all these parcels?"

Lu Mian raised an eyebrow with a smirk.

"Just some people, celebrating my college entrance exam success."

"What do you mean ’just’...?" With so many people, why were there so many caring ones? Each more attentive than the last!

From his tone, Lu Mian detected a hint of sourness. She touched the broken hairs on her forehead, slightly relieved.

Thank goodness not more people knew about her college entrance exam...

Lu Mian turned her head, poking the man’s arm lightly, "What’s with the 726 Nourishing Elixir?"

Xiao Qimo leaned lazily against the wall and spoke with a touch of haughtiness, "726 is just 726."

"A memorial for the kidnapping case?"

Xiao Qimo felt exasperated, thinking she would never grasp the hint in this lifetime. He was about to awkwardly remind her when, upon lowering his gaze, he saw a faint smile brimming in the depths of the girl’s eyes, wicked yet clear and lucid.

She obviously had guessed it all along.

Unexpectedly teased by this, he chuckled while staring at the girl, his gaze falling on her rosy cheeks. His lips pursed lightly as he quickly bent down for a quick kiss.

The speed was incredibly fast.

When he stood up again, he still looked refined, but his eyes were filled with mirth, like a cat that had got the cream.

"That was a medal for an excellent student," he said with an air of legitimacy.

Having said that, the man lifted his leg to return to the private room.

Lu Mian tugged on Xiao Qimo’s arm, tilting her head slightly and, before he could react, returned a light kiss.

In the moment of his stunned silence, Lu Mian explained with a smile, "A medal for an excellent teacher."

Xiao Qimo was ultimately no match for her charm. With just a little initiative on her part, he...

The man stood still, his eyes deepening, shaking his head, "You’ve got one word wrong."

"Hmm?"

As the girl puzzled over which word was wrong, the familiar warmth enveloped her again. The man tenderly caressed her face, his long fingers threading through her silky hair.

Another kiss landed.

"It’s ’husband’," the man spoke indulgently, his breath leisurely.

It was unclear how much time had passed, but when Lu Mian returned to the private room, her cheeks were still flushed.

Fat Hao and Shouhao watched her intently, one on each side. Even Lu Mian, who was usually calm, felt a bit guilty under their scrutiny.

Fat Hao gave a thumbs up: "Mian bro, you really have nerves of steel!"

Lu Mian’s eyelashes fluttered. Did they see her kissing Director Qimo?

She had indeed held her breath for quite a while.

But this was not right.

She lifted her leg and gave Fat Hao and Shouhao a kick: "Cut it out, this can’t happen again!"

Fat Hao and Shouhao jumped away in confusion and, after realizing what was happening, they cheered, "Mian bro has agreed to let us see the parcels!"

Lu Mian’s forehead furrowed with three question marks.

"Parcels?"

"Anyone who doesn’t open a parcel the moment they get it is definitely tough," Shouhao explained. "Don’t worry, Mian bro, we’ll only look this once! Everyone’s just curious!"

Feeling a bit uncomfortable, Lu Mian smoothed her broken hairs, "Oh."

"Mian bro, why are your cheeks all red?"

"You’ve got it wrong."

"But your face, it’s really red..."

"Shut up and look at the deliveries!"

At Lu Mian’s command, everyone congregated around the pile of delivery boxes, more excited than if they’d received parcels themselves.

Pang Hao was the first to open the box from Sufeng Game Company.

"Ah ah ah ah, it’s a complete set of figurines from the new game by Sufeng Company!"

"My god, you can’t even buy these on the market!"

"Mian Bro, why did they send you these?"

Lu Mian said nothing and gestured to the next package.

Pang Hao’s hands trembled as he unwrapped the box from Shadow Hunting Team, followed by another wave of groundhog-like shrieking.

"Ah ah ah, these are finals tickets!"

"And a whole pile of them!"

"Daddy, please acknowledge me as your son!"

Lu Mian remembered Yun Sang inviting her to watch the finals and didn’t expect him to leave her so many tickets.

Lu Mian’s eyes were indifferent, and her gaze fell on the package below.

The Presidential Office Building was from Sikong Jian; this time it was a pair of bookmarks.

Pang Hao and Shouhao exchanged glances; so the bookmarks they often saw came from the Presidential Office Building...

Lastly, there was a medal from the international police, commending Lu Mian for her outstanding performance at the office—a coincidence, apparently sent with this batch of deliveries.

Then there was the package without a name.

Lu Mian opened it personally and found a koi fish ornament inside.

The crowd lost their enthusiasm this time; it was just an ornament, and although the symbolism was nice, it didn’t have the impact of the previous parcels.

Yet, as Lu Mian held the small koi ornament in her palm and tested its feel, she ended up rolling her eyes in exasperation.

Her mischievous master had actually sent her an antique this way—just by courier.

He really was too rich!

—

The thank you feast ended quickly.

All the students gave Lu Mian a gift before they left.

One romance novel each, all carefully chosen, and all given to Lu Mian.

Lu Mian accepted them with satisfaction.

Everyone dispersed.

The students headed back to the school with Principal Zhang, Ding Cai, Wan Lin, and the others.

Principal Zhang ordered that no one could eat this meal for free and instructed all students from the first-year class to write an essay about their thoughts on the thank you feast.

No one dared not to write.

On the way back.

Pang Hao and Shouhao were like a comedic duo, tossing lines back and forth.

"There are deliveries from Sufeng Games... deliveries from Shadow Hunting Team..."

Pang Hao listed them one by one.

Ding Cai’s heart quivered, wanting to cover his ears.

Wan Lin took his hands down for him, "Teacher Ding, you’re already a mature class advisor..."

Pang Hao: "The coolest part is, the Presidential Office Building even sent a delivery to Mian Bro! And the international police! Teacher Ding, do you know what relation Mian Bro has with these people?"

Ding Cai’s eyes rolled back, struggling for breath.

He... he didn’t know!

He only knew that Lu Mian had graduated, and he refused to provide after-sales service?!

Wan Lin thoughtfully took out blood pressure medication and heart pills for Ding Cai and put them to his lips.

"Old Ding, seems like you’ll still need these medicines in the future..."

Ding Cai: ...
