Professor Guderian's voice came through again: "Mingfei, the voiceprint signature is complete. Norma will handle the rest. Just wait for the email."

"Are you with Liuli right now? Have her explain things to you. I'll be there right away. There are a few papers that need your signature."

The call ended, and Lu Mingfei was completely bewildered. He subconsciously looked at the figure by the window.

"Ask me if you don't understand anything," Chu Zihang said at the right time. He also turned around and glanced at Yuan Zhinu sitting by the window, and said hesitantly, "Senior Sister probably won't bother to explain."

"Your rating is very high, and the professor values ​​you highly."

The cold air from the air conditioner sent shivers down Lu Mingfei's spine. He glanced timidly at Chu Zihang, whose handsome, cold face remained expressionless. Lu Mingfei's many questions were too much for him to ask.

"I listened outside the movie theater for a few minutes just now," Chu Zihang suddenly said.

Lu Mingfei was so startled he almost fell over. The flat, emotionless sentence sounded like a threat, giving off a "I know your secret" vibe.

Would an all-around male god like Chu Zihang actually be interested in the gossip of a useless guy like him? This feeling is simply too terrifying.

“I know you like Chen Wenwen, but your liking makes him very uncomfortable in front of other people who also like Chen Wenwen, and makes him feel that it’s beneath him,” Chu Zihang said. “That’s why Zhao Menghua is targeting you.”

"However, the reason he was so agitated today is because you stood up for him. You offended him and he felt challenged."

“You can only enroll at the end of next semester, and you will have to stay here for a long time. If Zhao Menghua causes you trouble during this period, you can come to me, and I will find a way to settle it for you.”

Lu Mingfei stared blankly at Chu Zihang, as if he were seeing a monster.

In my memory, he and Chu Zihang had absolutely no interaction. They were worlds apart at school and had barely even met. So why is Chu Zihang acting like he's protecting him now?

Was he still half asleep, or is this world just too fantastical?

Completely bewildered, Lu Mingfei hesitated before asking, "Then, thank you, senior brother?"

Chu Zihang: "It's okay. Are you interested in joining a club? I have a club, and if you're interested, you can join directly once you enroll."

He paused here, and whether it was his imagination or not, there seemed to be a hint of boasting in his voice: "Senior Sister is here too."

Lu Mingfei: "?"

……

Nono plopped down by the plane window, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at the girl in front of her, and asked curiously, "Did you already know what was going to happen?"

Yuan Zhinü didn't look at her, but simply replied casually, "What do you know?"

“I knew he would be tricked, I knew he would be bullied, and he would be left all alone.” Nono blinked. “I checked with Norma. A few days ago, you transferred money to some thugs, on the day of our interview.”

"That day you made a private appointment with Lu Mingfei, right? You deliberately let him see you surrounded by thugs, forcing him to risk everything to save you, which is why he has those injuries on his face."

“You knew from the beginning that he was an elephant chained up, so you taught him to break free of the chains from the start. It was because he succeeded that time that he had the courage to rebel against Zhao Menghua in the movie theater, because he finally realized that he could still rebel.”

Nono's dark red pupils were fixed on the girl in front of her, not wanting to miss any expression on her face: "This was all planned by you, including his joining Kassel College, which was all within your expectations."

Yuan Zhinv simply shrugged noncommittally, neither looking at her nor speaking, as if what Nuonuo said was something unimportant and she didn't care at all.

Nono stared at her for a while, then suddenly deflated, scratched her hair in frustration, and muttered, "Why didn't you tell me anything? You made me worry for nothing!"

"I was the one who encouraged that loser to confess. I was so anxious when I saw him about to be humiliated, but you were already prepared. Seeing how anxious I was, did you find it funny?"

The girl's voice carried a hint of complaint. Nuonuo looked aggrieved, blinking her eyes as if she had committed some heinous crime.

Yuan Zhinv found it somewhat amusing; she had finally agreed to look at her, but she was stunned by that one glance.

The red-haired, red-eyed girl pouted, her originally delicate and bright features crumpled together, looking both sad and aggrieved. Her long eyelashes blinked, and her eyes sparkled as if tears were about to fall at any moment.

Yuan Zhinv knew that she was just pretending. This quirky little witch always did whatever she wanted. She could be a quiet, studious student who would spend a whole day studying, or she could go to a bar and dance wildly all night.

She's currently playing the victim, a pitiful little victim. Of course, she won't shed a tear, but if you look closely, you'll see that her bright eyes are full of cunning.

But her appearance perfectly matched a certain face in Genji's memory.

After Herzog was completely dealt with, Erii was finally free from living in a cage. This naive little monster was finally free to go out whenever she wanted, but because her condition was unstable, she needed someone to accompany her every time she went out.

Sometimes it's Genjiro, sometimes it's Uesugi Kotsu, or sometimes it's Sakurai Kogure or Sakura.

But whenever Genjiro is around, Erii's first choice will always be Genjiro.

Sometimes, when Genji is busy with other things and Erii wants to go out with her but is refused, the girl will look aggrieved, her little face scrunched up, her lips pouting as if she is about to cry.

Yuan Zhinü had no way to refuse such a little monster, and could only compromise and put down what she was doing. And often, as soon as she gave in, the little monster would instantly stop crying and start laughing, his bright eyes full of cunning.

It looks exactly like the face in front of me right now.

Yuan Zhinv was even somewhat dazed, and for a moment she couldn't tell who the person in front of her was.

Of course, the daze only lasts for a moment.

Once she regained consciousness, Genji frowned deeply. She suddenly realized a very serious problem: why did Nono and Erii look so alike?

Especially when they deliberately make certain expressions, it's almost... exactly the same.

Chapter 123 "A Little Local Specialty"

Genjiro knew long ago that Nono and Erii looked very similar, both having rare dark red long hair, dark red pupils, and even their faces were seven or eight parts alike.

However, the two have very different temperaments. Nono is quirky and crazy like a little witch, while Erii is not very mature and is like a child because of her upbringing. She always has a bit of childishness and dullness.

So the two of them didn't look so alike anymore. However, because of Erii, Genji was always more patient and tolerant of Nono, who looked like Erii.

Because of her ability to perform profiling, Nono clearly figured something out.

This clever girl was quite shrewd. After realizing that she resembled someone that Genji was interested in, she began to imitate Erii intentionally or unintentionally in front of Genji.

Sure enough, she found that after she did this, Yuan Zhinv treated her much better, and often didn't even mind her taking advantage of her, as if she was tacitly condoning her nonsense.

As a result, Nono's imitation skills became more and more superb. Yuan Zhinv was not unaware of this, but she was just too lazy to care. Watching the little shrine maiden act out in front of her was quite interesting, just like watching a naughty little sister.

But now she suddenly realized something was wrong. Could two strangers really look so alike for no reason?

Is there really such a coincidence in this world?

Nono was very perceptive and almost instantly noticed the change in Yuan Zhinü's emotions. She subconsciously shrank back and cautiously asked, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"It's nothing." Yuan Zhinu simply gave her a few perfunctory words: "Keep an eye on Lu Mingfei. I'll leave the rest to you. I have something to take care of."

Nono blankly uttered an "Oh," completely unaware of what was happening, but the plane had already begun to shake and prepare for landing, so she had no choice but to swallow back the questions that were on the tip of her tongue.

Lu Mingfei really wanted to say something to that aloof senior sister. He didn't even know her name, and he hadn't been able to properly thank her, but he never got the chance.

Finally, it seemed they had arrived at their destination and the plane was preparing to land. Lu Mingfei quickly looked up to look for his senior sister, only to see a dark figure jump down.

The plane was already taxiing on the ground, and its fuselage was several meters high, yet the girl jumped out so decisively...

The wind lifted the girl's long hair, and her black trench coat fluttered in the air like a battle flag. Her slender figure landed lightly, like an elegant cat, without even stirring up a speck of dust.

Lu Mingfei was dumbfounded and speechless for a moment.

Chu Zihang also saw this scene, but his face remained expressionless, as if he had long been accustomed to it. On the contrary, the red-haired girl glanced at the shocked Lu Mingfei and grinned at him.

"Why are you making that face like you've seen a ghost in broad daylight? Your senior sister Liuli is much prettier than a ghost."

Lu Mingfei let out a blank "Huh?" as if he hadn't come to his senses at all. This expression amused Nuonuo. The plane had already come to a stop, and Nuonuo poked him in the waist: "Come on, junior brother! Don't just stand there like an idiot!"

Lu Mingfei said "Oh, oh" a few times and hurriedly followed. He subconsciously looked up in the direction the slender figure had left, but he could no longer see anything.

As soon as she got off the plane, Genji called Uesugi Koshi, because the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She couldn't believe that such a coincidence could really exist in the world.

So Nono might really be her sister, just like Erii, a sister related by blood.

The phone was answered quickly after only two rings, and Uesugi Kotsugi's aged yet kind voice rang out: "Child?"

Yuan Zhinu hummed in agreement and cut to the chase: "Dad, do you have another illegitimate daughter?"

Uesugi Kotsushi, who was about to offer words of comfort on the other end of the phone, paused, looking bewildered: "Huh?"

Yuan Zhinu was pondering Nuonuo's identity in the original work. Chen Motong, an A-level student from China, seemed to have a very complicated family background. The so-called Chen family seemed to be a mixed-race family in China.

Logically speaking, it's unlikely that the bloodlines of such a prestigious family would be mixed up. However, Uesugi Echizen seemed to be quite a scoundrel when he was young. What if he had some secret feelings that others didn't know about?

The main reason is that these two people look so alike that it's impossible to ignore it.

"Dad, think about it carefully. Did you leave a child in China when you were young? A girl, probably around the same age as Erii."

Uesugi Koshi's voice grew increasingly confused: "Chijo, what are you talking about?"

"How could I possibly have an illegitimate child? Royal blood is a curse. I once wanted to completely sever the royal bloodline from my lineage. I didn't even know you three siblings existed."

He paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "If I had known about your existence earlier, I wouldn't have let you suffer so much."

His voice was filled with unconcealed guilt and deep self-reproach. Yuan Zhinv was silent for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, she realized that it made sense.

Uesugi Yue didn't even know about the existence of the three siblings, so even if Nono really was his child, he couldn't possibly know.

Genji fell silent, while Uesugi Echizen on the other end of the phone panicked. He remembered the genes he had shared before. Could it be that the final result was not three siblings, but four?

That would be a rather serious joke.

"Child, why are you asking this out of the blue?" Uesugi Kotsushi couldn't help but ask, "Have you discovered something?"

“I discovered that one of my classmates looks remarkably like Erii, sometimes almost identical,” Minamoto no Chizuru succinctly summarized. “I suspect she’s related to us by blood.”

There seemed to be a sound of someone collapsing on the other end of the phone. After a long while, Uesugi Yue finally spoke again, his voice filled with shock: "No way?"

He couldn't help but ask the fundamental question: "I only contributed that much of my genes back then..."

"Never mind, my mission is almost over. I'll figure out a way to bring her back to Japan then," said Yuan Zhinv. "We'll know once we get to Japan and she's tested."

"Okay, I'll send someone to pick you up then."

Just as Yuan Zhinv was about to hang up the phone, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Dad, does our family have any influence in China?"

Uesugi Kotsu: "What? Did someone fool you and offend you?"

"Not really, but it's quite annoying to watch him jumping around like that. I feel like his family could go bankrupt as the weather gets colder."

Uesugi hesitated: "Actually, we are legitimate yakuza."

"Alright then, I'll do it myself."

"No, no!" Uesugi Kotsuki broke out in a cold sweat and quickly changed his mind: "Let me do it. Don't bother with such a small matter."

Damn it, if this old lady were to take action, she'd probably be making headlines in China tomorrow, right? After all, she's truly ruthless and vicious, far more ruthless than this underworld king.

Yuan Zhinü didn't care about any of that. Since Uesugi Yue was willing, she simply handed it over to him. In fact, she had almost forgotten about Zhao Menghua. She would never get angry at ants just because they were jumping around.

Because it was so unappealing, it didn't even register in her mind; she couldn't remember it at all.

But Chu Zihang's words on the plane reminded her that this year's admissions process was brought forward by half a semester. Although Lu Mingfei had been confirmed for early admission, he would not immediately go to the United States to enter Kassel.
