New project?
But right now I'm not in the mood at all.
New projects and such, let's talk about that later.
"I'm sorry, Professor Genes, I would like to ask for a few days off."
"Luo Qixi?"
I ignored Professor Genius and left the office directly.
"Hey! Luo Qixi!"
Mr. Genius called my name, but I pretended not to hear him.
What I did just now was very impolite to Mr. Genius, but I was in no mood to care about him.
Right now I just feel nauseous and want to vomit.
Although Daniel wasn't as straightforward as Parkus, it was more disgusting to me than Parkus, who directly attacked me. He approached me with feigned kindness and then took advantage of me.
"Teacher Luo Qixi!"
A man in a yellow robe blocked my way. He was breathing heavily and his hair was very messy.
Daniel, disgusting man.
"Lo..."
I walked past him and continued walking outside.
"Teacher Luo Qixi! I like you! I've liked you ever since I first saw you!"
I like you?
Upon hearing this, I suddenly stopped involuntarily.
The last time I heard "I like you" was from Parkus, and before that, it was from Rudy, although that was just a childhood joke from Rudy.
Hearing those words from Daniel didn't stir any emotion in me.
"so what?"
"..."
I turned my face away, and his eyes were fixed on me. He seemed sincere enough, but I didn't want to believe him.
"So, please go out with me, Professor Roxie!"
"Oh."
"Teacher Luo Qixi..."
I turned around, leaving him where he was. All I wanted to do now was leave, go back to my dorm, and get some sleep.
I used to think he was a thoughtful person, knowing that I like sweets, so he put sugar in my tea. He also often showed concern for me, and I started to develop a little bit of affection for him.
"Teacher Luo Qixi!"
He chased after me again; he's so persistent.
Forget it, we'll still be colleagues, so I'll just advise him to give up on his feelings for me.
Besides, how could a body like mine, which has absolutely no appeal, possibly attract men?
"I don't like you, we can't be together, let's give up on this idea as soon as possible."
……
Rudyus's perspective:
……
When Silphie and I returned to the suite, she went straight into her bedroom as soon as we entered. I don't know what she was doing.
Never mind, I'll go prepare lunch.
I entered the restaurant and took the bamboo basket for holding the food.
"Sylphie, I'm going to buy lunch."
"Okay, Rudy, be careful on the road."
It's strange. Normally, she would definitely want to go with me, since I insisted on going by myself this morning to buy breakfast.
"I'm going out now."
"squeak…"
I pretended to go out, making footsteps and the sound of doors opening and closing, and then crept up to Silphie's door.
I'm coming in, Silphie.
"Huh?"
Hilfi was hunched over her desk, writing something.
I moved closer, and there she was, Sylphie…
Sylphie actually compiled all the knowledge from Merlin's class into her notebook...
Do all high-achieving students study this way...?
Seeing this, I'll just quietly go buy lunch.

Chapter 85: Karma (Part 6)
……
Teacher Luo Qixi came home very late last night, and unusually, she smelled of alcohol. She said she had been out socializing.
It's really tough; this is probably just life for working professionals.
Because I often suffer from insomnia while traveling, I developed the habit of waking up early. In addition, due to my agreement with Teacher Merlin, I made a point of waking up early for a period of time to adjust my sleep schedule.
The clock shows 3:30. I take out a wooden bucket from under the bed and use magic to create hot water to wash my face.
After washing my face, I poured the water out of the toilet and finished cleaning up. Then I changed out of my pajamas into my usual clothes and went to the living room.
"It's so early, I was thinking of waking Rudy up."
Hilfi had already tidied up and was sitting in the living room, her tone tinged with regret.
I don't think I should regret not waking me up. Perhaps Sylphie would rather see my sleeping face than wake me up, since I've seen her so many times.
Hilfi's complaints were a little loud, perhaps because it was still early and quiet outside.
Suddenly realizing that Ms. Loki was probably still sleeping, I sat down next to Shilufi and put a finger to my lips, signaling to speak softly.
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Hilfi quickly understood what I meant, but because the light was too dim, I couldn't see her expression clearly. Hilfi must have looked very cute at that moment.
I lowered my voice and whispered in her ear:
"Alright, Silphie, are you ready?"
"Uh-huh."
"Let's go then."
After I got up, I took her hand; it was still so cold.
After leaving the dormitory, I walked ahead, with Silphi following behind, while I used a basic fire magic spell to provide light.
It's really inconvenient not having streetlights at night. But we've already lived in this school for two days and are quite familiar with the roads. It took us less than an hour to get to the school gate.
I remember the first time I went out late at night, it took me two hours just to get from my dorm to the library.
The school gate was deserted. The snow from a few days ago had been cleared away, and the surroundings were extremely quiet. The bare trees on both sides of the road contrasted sharply with the quiet, creating a sense of unease.
The only sound that could be considered a sound was the cold wind rustling through the trees on both sides of the road.
Oh, right, and there's also the sound of the guard snoring while he sleeps in the guard post.
It's almost five o'clock now, but we haven't seen Teacher Merlin yet.
Perhaps older people walk slower to school.
After waiting for about ten minutes, I still hadn't seen Teacher Merlin.
In traditional stories, there are some accomplished master teachers who like to do strange and unpleasant things to make things difficult for their students.
For example, making students wait for him at the school gate on a freezing winter night.
Hilfi and I couldn't just stand there at the school gate. The hours before sunrise were the coldest time of day, and the air was so cold that even though we were wearing thick winter clothes, we were still shivering.
Let's go hide in the guard post.
"Hoo... gurgle gurgle..."
"Hoo... gurgle gurgle..."
"Hoo... gurgle gurgle..."
The guard was fast asleep in the inner room of the guardhouse.
The door to the front room was not locked, and there was nothing inside except a chair.
"Rudy, why don't you sit down? I'll just stand."
Hilfi pushed my shoulder and made me sit down in the chair.
After I sat down, Hilfi stood next to me, her hands tucked into the sleeves of her coat. Her hands were already cold, and they had been outside in the cold for so long.
How about this...
"Wow! Rudy..."
I grabbed Silphie's arm and pulled her onto my lap, wrapping my left arm around her waist so she could sit on my legs.
Hilfi hugged me from the side, and in the cold weather, this way of keeping warm made my heart race.
She was curled up against me, her arms wrapped around my neck, and I could even hear her breathing.
But there was no hint of pink in the air; the cold weather prevented us from having any other thoughts.
……
About an hour or two later, the sky outside was beginning to lighten, and the chirping of birds replaced the howling wind.
My thighs were already a little sore from sitting, and Hilfi's breathing had turned into soft snores. The fluffy collar of her coat was indeed very warm around my neck. Because it was pressed against me, the warm and soft touch made me doze off a few times.
And now, there is a pair of eyes in the inner room, staring at us in terror.
I struggled to raise my left hand and gently wave to the guard.
The shirtless guard jumped out of bed in a panic, trembling as he grabbed the clothes from the corner and quickly put them on.
This isn't the first time we've met...
Perhaps it was precisely because it wasn't the first time they had met, and it was in a place like this, that the guard felt so afraid.
It's best not to stare at him anymore. Besides, it's really impolite to suddenly appear in the guard booth without saying a word. You should apologize to the guard.
"Sylphie, wake up."
"Um……"
I patted Silphie's back gently, and she released her arms from me, but still sat on me.
"Cough cough!"
A loud cough came from outside the window. Hilfi and I looked over and saw an old man with a white beard, wearing a heavy miris robe and a round hat with fur on both sides that looked like the kind worn by Islamic merchants, looking at us with his arms crossed.
Is it really this late, Mr. Merlin...?
If we hadn't taken shelter in the guard post, we would have frozen to death long ago.
That wretched old man!
Teacher Merlin's face was rosy, as if seeing Sylphie and me in such a position in the guard post reminded him of his youth.
When Hilfi saw Merlin watching us from outside the window, she jumped off me.
