Chapter 161: Chapter 160 Mindful
“So what exactly has the ‘god’ been busy with recently? I heard he already signed with a company. He’s not going to stop coming to school, is he?” Taking advantage of Jiang Lang and Ling Feng’s presence, Song Qiuqiu hurriedly inquired.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue also looked towards the two.
Jiang Lang spoke up, “A lot of companies wanted to poach him, but I don’t think anything has been finalized on his end… His recent absence isn’t due to work; he’s been on sick leave because of an illness.”
Qi Yue’s brows furrowed slightly, “Sick leave?”
Song Qiuqiu and Su Xiaotang were also surprised and began to ask concernedly.
Song Qiuqiu: “No way! What happened to the ‘god’?”
...
Su Xiaotang: “What illness? Is it serious?”
Qi Yue also asked, “The last time I saw him, the ‘god’ said he was just suffering from some allergies; how could it have turned into such a long sick leave?”
Jiang Lang spread his hands, “He just said it was a bit of an old problem and that he’d be fine after resting for a few days. I didn’t ask for more details.”
Song Qiuqiu was speechless, “Seriously? You guys are supposed to be the ‘god’s’ brothers. Don’t tell me none of you have visited him to see how he’s doing?”
Ling Feng spoke up rather grievously from the side, “We wanted to, but he finds us annoying and doesn’t want to see us. What can we do?”
Song Qiuqiu nodded, “The ‘god’ has a point! One needs peace and quiet to recover from an illness!”
Ling Feng: “…?”
Jiang Lang: “…”

Meanwhile, at the shooting range.
The women’s air pistol shooting competition was about to begin. The shooting range was packed, with many reporters gathered outside as well—campus journalists, city television reporters, and even some from the province.
At the entrance of the venue, President Chen’s family had also arrived.
Seeing the stands filled with Qi Zhen’s support banners, Lady Chen smiled and said, “Zhenzhen is really popular, she even has a fan club! Many people came to watch the competition just because of her!”
President Chen also showed a satisfied expression, “Zhenzhen has been outstanding since she was a child. She won the Azure Dragon Cup championship in high school and was directly recruited by the National Team without any examinations. Now, she’s a star athlete, appearing on television every day and has shot quite a few commercials. Old Qi has truly invested all his heart and soul in her!”
“She really is an exceptional child…” As Lady Chen spoke, she glanced at her son, “She is quite a good match for our Xiao Jing.”
As Lady Chen spoke, she probed her son’s feelings, “Xiao Jing, be honest with mom, how are you getting along with Zhenzhen?”
Chen Jing looked helpless, “Mom, I’ve just met Zhenzhen, what could have happened?”
Lady Chen scolded playfully, “I’m asking what you think about Zhenzhen…”
President Chen chuckled, “As his mother, don’t you know your own son? If he didn’t like her, he wouldn’t have bothered coming here today!”
Chen Jing coughed lightly and did not deny it, “Zhenzhen really is a nice girl. It’s just that I’d rather our relationship develop naturally. Don’t rush things and scare the poor girl…”
Lady Chen laughed, “It’s not us who are rushing things; Uncle Qi and Auntie Qi are really impatient too!”
As Lady Chen was speaking, something seemed to cross her mind, and with a slight frown, she said, “Both are daughters, yet how can the difference be so big? The older daughter of Old Chen’s family doesn’t resemble Zhenzhen at all…”
“After all, she wasn’t raised by their side from a young age; there’s bound to be some differences…” President Chen remarked.
Lady Chen said, “I’m not concerned about that; it’s just, at dinner the other day, I saw Qi Yue chatting quite lively with Xiao Jing. I’m afraid she might have her sights set on our Xiao Jing…”
