The little crow’s sigh made Fu Xiqin and Pangu Axe nod in agreement: "Right, right, Ancestor, you’re becoming more and more frugal with words."

Zuzi smiled lightly without speaking, looking out at the sky beyond the classroom.

Outside, the clouds rolled and drifted, as life thrived on Earth.

Snow fell silently.

Isn’t it better for the Ancestor to be a quiet observer?

However.

The calm atmosphere didn’t last long.

At eleven thirty in the morning, the old professor on the podium ended the class early: "These prehistoric creature diagrams, everyone please go home and digest them well. You must memorize them; they’ll be on the final exam. I won’t elaborate. Class dismissed."

Wu Qianman felt puzzled: "This gentleman usually can’t help but drag the class until twelve thirty; did the sun set in the east today?"

Xi Rubao: "Hey, haven’t you looked at your college group? The whole school is getting out early today, and I heard evening self-study is canceled as well. Our Medical College specifically emphasized no homework or experiments tonight. You guys in Paleontology have less homework, so it’s definitely more fun."

"Why suddenly like this?"

"To reduce burden, don’t you know? Even elementary students are under the double reduction now."

"But... we’re not elementary students."

"Oh, you silly, aren’t you happy you don’t have to attend class?"

"Not really... it’s just so sudden."

"Anyway, I’m thrilled, haha! Finally, I can do experiments at midnight without anyone competing for the lab with me, so cool!" Xi Rubao beamed with delight.

Wu Qianman: "..." Since when did you become so addicted to learning and unable to extricate yourself?

The sudden "reduction" made everyone excited.

Even Gu Qiusha’s face was aglow as she ran up from the last row of the classroom: "With class ending so early, Mom’s taking you guys out the school gate to feast, have some meat!"

Nangong Mo walked with laziness and ease, following: "You treat, I pay."

His eyes casually scanned over Zuzi: "Miss Xi, join us."

Zuzi did not respond definitively, her red lips slightly parted, then she closed them with a faint smile.

Nangong Mo’s brow furrowed slightly; the woman seemed on the verge of saying: Too lazy to reject you, doesn’t matter, this meal won’t happen anyway?

Feeling puzzled over Zuzi’s attitude, suddenly there was a noisy commotion outside in the hallway:

"Big news, big news has broken, everyone quickly notify your fan groups, don’t waste time going to the cafeteria at noon, come to a meeting!"

"Yes, yes, seize this rare opportunity; we must strike back beautifully."

"These two days I’ve been so angry with Qianshan’s fanatics that I can’t sleep; finally, we can fight back, shut them up, and make Mr. Wu proud."

"Did you report to Senior Sister Li? We’re listening to Senior Sister Li’s unified command."

"Reported, reported, Senior Sister Li told us to meet at the gym."

A group of students from different grades and disciplines, excitedly noisy in the crowded corridor after class, afraid others wouldn’t know they were Mr. Wu’s fans.

In the classroom, Xi Rubao and the others exchanged puzzled looks: "What’s happening?"

Nangong Mo’s first reaction was to turn and deeply gaze at Zuzi: This girl’s unspoken predictions seemed miraculously accurate.

This meal, seems impossible to have?

Beside him, Gu Qiusha was the first to check her phone.

Seeing the latest headline page, she covered her mouth in shock: "No way, he went to such lengths? No wonder his fans are so excited..."

Only to see Mr. Wu, entangled in rumors for several days, finally step out with an official Weibo announcement: "Grateful to meet, grateful to heaven for allowing me to believe, you have returned to me once again."

A very short sentence, actually quite ordinary.

The shocking part was that he also attached a picture—
