67: Chapter 67 My brother will always be my brother

From Lu Li's perspective, this scene was too bizarre.

It was even somewhat indescribable.

"I was playing with a torch and burned my pants. Jiang Qin is helping me look," Fang Xun immediately explained, though he wasn't sure why he felt the need to explain anything to Lu Li.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Lu Li immediately became interested. She quickly walked up to the pair of siblings and looked at Fang Xun's pants.

"Let go, let me see?"

"See my foot! I'm going to change my pants." Fang Xun no longer held any respect for this captain of the Special Affairs Bureau's Seventh Squad.

He pulled his body back, clutching his pants as if fleeing, jumped off the sofa, and retreated to his room to change.

Outside the door, Lu Li watched Fang Xun's retreating back and let out a sound of boredom.

"Little Chu Nan."

"Captain, what is it?" Jiang Qin hadn't heard Lu Li clearly and stood up, looking somewhat curious.

"Nothing, nothing," Lu Li quickly dismissed her.

"Hey, Captain, why did you come here?" Jiang Qin was genuinely curious why Lu Li would suddenly show up here.

Besides, if she needed to find her, couldn't she just call?

"Oh, I was just out for a stroll. And I have something big to tell you," Lu Li said mysteriously.

"What big thing?" Jiang Qin was indeed curious.

"A big thing. Director Wei held a meeting and decided that we want you to post a message on all your social media platforms.

Just a very short message.

Ahem, since this counts as using your private accounts for public business, there will be some activity funding for this," she added.

"Huh?" Jiang Qin was puzzled. What message required her to post it, and what activity funding?

Seeing that Jiang Qin was only curious and showed no signs of refusal, Lu Li continued.

"It's not some strange message.

We just want you to post something on WeChat Moments, Weibo, Tomato, or whatever, to express your gratitude to that Senior."

"And then?" Jiang Qin saw Lu Li pause after saying this and asked.

"Include a link, I'll send it to you. Anyway, it's an invitation for him to come to the Special Affairs Bureau or something," Lu Li said the most important part somewhat sheepishly.

"Ah?" Jiang Qin blinked in surprise. What was the use of her posting a message? Did that Senior actually look at her Moments?

"Oh, don't be so surprised. A post on Moments or Weibo is worth a hundred thousand each, and a Tomato post is worth two hundred thousand. Don't ask why Tomato is so valuable; just take it."

"Ah?" Jiang Qin's eyes widened when she heard the amount. Money could be given like this?

"Look at you, you little miser. If our Special Affairs Bureau wasn't so broke right now, we would definitely start you off at ten million."

"Ah?" This time, Jiang Qin's mouth dropped open.

"Pfft." Seeing Jiang Qin's adorable expression, Lu Li couldn't help but pinch her little cheek.

"Jiang Qin, oh Jiang Qin, it seems you still don't know your own worth."

Lu Li had no intention of fooling Jiang Qin; she said directly:

"Open any platform right now and see how much you're worth these days."

"How much?" Jiang Qin asked dazedly.

Yesterday, Jiang Qin was so tired she fell asleep in the car. After returning to school, she received news that military training was suspended, so she went home first.

She truly didn't know about the commotion online.

Lu Li held up one finger: "Putting aside the intangible stuff, just for one of your friend slots, someone offered... a hundred million!"

"How much?!"

Before Jiang Qin could react with more shock, Fang Xun, who had come out after changing his pants, let out a cry upon hearing the number.

"Brother, what's wrong, Brother? How much?"

Hearing Fang Xun's commotion, the girls who had mostly finished changing also opened their doors to take a look.

Tang Xiaotang, the Little Green Tea, led the way, bouncing out wearing Fang Xun's brown overalls.

"Lu Li just said that my sister's friend slot is worth a hundred million each," Fang Xun pointed at Lu Li, his hand even trembling slightly.

A hundred million, damn it. He had written books for ten years and only earned a fraction of that.

"Oh." Tang Xiaotang thought it was something that shocked her brother so much, but it was just that?

She wouldn't trade Qin Qin's friend slot even for ten billion.

Tang Xiaotang immediately lost interest and clicked her tongue, but upon seeing Lu Li, she greeted her enthusiastically.

"Captain, you came to play too!"

"What playing? I'm on official duty." Lu Li immediately waved her hand; she was receiving a salary from the government.

At this moment, the other two girls also walked out of the room.

They had originally wanted to ask what happened, but as soon as they came out, they saw Lu Li.

Qi Lian didn't show much shock upon seeing Lu Li.

But Shen Yue was overwhelmed.

"Lu... Lu Lu... Lu Li, Captain Lu!!!!"

Shen Yue's mouth gaped open, feeling like her jaw was about to drop from shock.

To her, this was a figure only seen on television!

"Hi." Lu Li waved her hand and greeted Shen Yue as well.

"You are Jiang Qin and Xiao Tang's classmates, right? I'm Lu Li."

"I... I I I am Shen Yue!" Shen Yue immediately snapped to attention.

She executed the military posture she had learned for half a day yesterday to perfection.

"I am Qi Lian, also Qin Qin and Tangtang's roommate." Qi Lian looked at Shen Yue's reaction and felt that Shen Yue's reaction was perhaps more appropriate, so she also snapped to attention.

The Flower Branch Rat on her shoulder timidly retreated and hid in her hair.

"Not bad, not bad. While you are at school, I'll trouble the two of you to look after my team members."

Lu Li clasped her hands together in a gesture of pleading.

"Team members?" Shen Yue was dazed. What team members did she need to look after?

Finally, it was Tang Xiaotang who revealed the answer.

This matter couldn't be kept secret anyway, so announcing it now was just timely.

"Ta-da~~~ It's me, Tang Xiaotang, and Qin Qin!" Tang Xiaotang bounced and placed her hands on her hips, making a scissor gesture in front of her.

"Qin Qin and I are the new Psionic Armor Adepts, no doubt about it."

"Ah?" Shen Yue's mouth dropped open even wider than when she received the back-to-school gift from Tang Xiaotang.

"Lian Lian, am I dreaming?" Shen Yue immediately grabbed Qi Lian's arm. At this moment, only Lian Lian's arm could give her a little warmth.

Fortunately, she wasn't alone; she still had her good sister Lian Lian, who was in the same league as her.

"It's not a dream!" Tang Xiaotang exclaimed, running over to hug Shen Yue again.

"Xiao Tang and I just have an extra major course at school; everything else is the same!"

"That's right," Jiang Qin also nodded.

"Mm," Qi Lian nodded in agreement.

"Ah?" Shen Yue looked at Tang Xiaotang and Jiang Qin, then at Qi Lian, who looked completely composed.

Qi Lian truly didn't have any special reaction. Could it be that her own reaction was too exaggerated?

"Then... then... then I understand now." Shen Yue said dazedly.

By now, Shen Yue felt like she was daydreaming. She kept feeling like she would suddenly wake up to find herself still sleeping in her dorm bed.

But clearly, she wasn't awake.

"By the way, Captain, what were you just saying to Qin Qin?" Tang Xiaotang hugged Shen Yue while looking at Lu Li curiously.

"Nothing, just wanted Jiang Qin to post on Moments. Hey, Jiang Qin, is that okay?" Lu Li agreed, then asked Jiang Qin.

"Yes," Jiang Qin nodded.

Soon, a notification sound rang out on the phones of several people present.

However, the notification sounds on two people's phones were rather unusual.

"Aiya, Brother set Qin Qin as a 'Special Concern' notification~" the Little Green Tea giggled, looking at Fang Xun's phone.

Fang Xun immediately gave the Little Green Tea a blank look.

"Aren't you the same?"

"Of course, Qin Qin is my Qin Qin~"

"?"

"But Brother will always be Brother. That's so nice."

"??????"
