After Gu Zhiqi put away her pen, she took the paper she had written on to one side and, still holding her pen, swiftly began to draw on another piece.
She drew three in a row, and with each one completed, Gu Yuluo could see a faint luminance flickering over them.
Only then did Gu Yuluo believe that she hadn’t been mistaken earlier.
Gu Zhiqi carelessly threw her pen into the pen container and walked out of the room holding the three pieces of paper.
As Gu Zhiqi almost reached the door, Gu Yuluo, out of curiosity, took a peek.
Seeing the marks on them, Gu Yuluo subconsciously exclaimed, "What are those, they look like some sort of ghost-drawn talisman?"
Gu Zhiqi lifted her eyelids and lazily glanced at Gu Yuluo.
Feeling the intent behind her gaze, Gu Yuluo suddenly remembered yesterday’s incident with the medicinal pills, "Uh, I was just talking nonsense."
Gu Zhiqi ignored her and continued to walk towards Yun Sen, holding the three papers.
Gu Yuluo immediately followed, taking several more glances; the more she looked, the more the papers resembled talisman paper.
But don’t all the masters usually use yellow paper and cinnabar for drawing talismans?
How come with her it turns into...homework paper and ballpoint pen?
If Gu Yuluo wasn’t seeing things, that paper appeared to have been torn from a pinyin notebook, undoubtedly from some homework paper requested from Gu Chengcheng.
To be sure she wasn’t mistaken, Gu Yuluo even leaned in for a closer look.
Now she was certain, she hadn’t been wrong; the lines were very clean and distinct!
"What is this?" Having seen it clearly, Gu Yuluo’s curiosity intensified, and she felt as if someone was tickling her insides.
"Oh, a ghost-drawn talisman," Gu Zhiqi replied indifferently.
If I talk too much again, I’m a dog!
When she reached Yun Sen, Gu Zhiqi handed him the three pieces of paper, "Here, as a token of thanks."
Yun Sen didn’t immediately examine the paper that Gu Zhiqi had passed to him, scratching his head he began, "Miss Gu, you don’t have to be so forma..."
Upon seeing the homework paper in Gu Zhiqi’s hand, marked with strange symbols, the last word choked in his throat.
Yun Sen froze for more than two seconds.
"I notice you have a darkened hall on your forehead, you’re facing imminent danger," Gu Zhiqi said as she stuffed the three papers into his hands.
Looking down at the homework paper in his hand, he fell silent for a few more seconds.
It wasn’t clear whether to accept this paper or not.
In the end, Yun Sen still took the papers.
Whatever Miss Gu gave, even if it was just scrap paper, he would treasure it!
Remembering what Gu Zhiqi had told him at Yan City Central Hospital not long ago, Yun Sen felt that the papers must be extraordinary.
Yun Sen clenched his fists.
He would have to carry these papers with him at all times!
After giving the papers to Yun Sen, Gu Zhiqi then made her way toward the staircase.
She hadn’t eaten all day.
The same evening after Yun Yan and Yun Sen had their dinner, they left.
The next morning, Gu Zhiqi was awakened by a knock on her door.
Gu Zhiqi opened the door, yawning lazily with a languid expression, and saw Gu Yuluo standing outside. She asked with annoyance, "What’s up?"
Because of a certain pet dog, she had stayed up accepting bounty quests on the knitting network until two in the morning before sleeping.
Gu Yuluo, noticing Gu Zhiqi’s less-than-pleased look, blinked and immediately asked, "Were you playing a thief last night?"
Gu Zhiqi just lazily looked at Gu Yuluo, too drowsy to speak, and just kept her gaze on Gu Yuluo.
Seeing her looking sleep-deprived, Gu Yuluo gently sighed, and while tapping on her phone, said to Gu Zhiqi, "Your teacher transferred some money to me last night, told me to pass it on to you."
