Miss Yun won't call him.

The teacher will call him Chang'an.

And this Junior Master Qin always calls him "boy".

So, after hearing that slightly affectionate "Chang'an" from Qinling's mouth, Xu Chang'an just felt a bad premonition.

Qinling propped her face, smiled, and said, "Chang'an, can you put in a good word for me in front of Ms. Yun?"

"Master Uncle." Xu Chang'an sighed lightly, "You said you don't like girls."

"I do." Qinling nodded seriously, "I don't like girls; it just so happens the person I like is a girl."

After saying that, she discontentedly knocked on the table, frowning, "Is there anyone who would say it so bluntly?"

Xu Chang'an almost bluntly asked her if she had intentions towards Yun Qian.

"I was just asking." Xu Chang'an thought for a moment, then said, "Recently, she's been quite busy."

Yun Qian has a lot of things to do and really has no time to make friends, besides…

"With her temperament, my words of praise might not work."

"Understood." Qinling thought the same, with that sister's temperament, wanting to befriend her is not at all a simple matter, she was just casually asking.

Because Xu Chang'an trusts Qinling, he dared to ask such an "impolite" question, but the man's instinct made him feel that... Qinling seemed a dangerous person, and it was best to change the topic quickly.

"Does this raccoon have a name?" Xu Chang'an looked at the Li Hua brushing against Qinling's fingers.

"Name?" Qinling shook her head, "Haven't given it one yet."

"Haven't thought of one?"

"Mm."

Qinling appeared a bit troubled, but soon that trouble turned into a smile, "I'm not very good at naming, so it got delayed, just like Miss Zhu."

"...Makes sense." Xu Chang'an had nothing to say.

Senior Zhu's real name is Zhu Tongjun, and she changed it to Zhu Pingniang... It's getting worse, isn't this not knowing how to name indeed?

"Boy." Qinling squinted her eyes, "I can criticize Miss Zhu but how can you agree."

"…" Xu Chang'an's eye twitched, "Master Uncle, I just think it's a pity such a cute little creature doesn't have a name. If you have time, go to Muyu Peak and ask the senior sisters, maybe they can offer good suggestions."

"Noted, worrying over such small matters." Qinling clicked her tongue.

"I really like it." Xu Chang'an looked at the little creature in front.

"The raccoon demon you keep on Muyu Peak..." Qinling remembered something, but Xu Chang'an interrupted her.

"I don't keep it." Xu Chang'an emphasized, "It only occasionally comes over to eat some fruit."

"True, keeping a raccoon is quite troublesome." Qinling said with some complaint, "I brought this little thing back, have to take care of it, feed it goat milk, have the litter box… the whole room smells like it, thankfully with Spiritual Power handling it it's not too troublesome... I don't know how the ordinary girls at Flower Moon Building take care of raccoons, they really don't mind the trouble."

"Used to it, I guess." Xu Chang'an nodded.

"You said you don't keep the raccoon demon on Muyu Peak..." Qinling looked at Xu Chang'an thoughtfully, "I see, you are unwilling to take responsibility, wanting to play with the raccoon without the hassle of caring for it… huh."

Xu Chang'an's eye twitched again, faintly hearing Qinling mutter something like "as expected of men", "men are all the same", "no wonder Miss Zhu doesn't like men" and so on.

"..."

After a moment of daze, Xu Chang'an sighed lightly.

What does it feel like watching someone who is like an elder drop their guard and facade in front of you?

Besides a tiny bit of surrealism, overall it feels really nice.

Junior Master Qin is indeed different from those senior sisters.

Qinling noticed the boy's silly smile, then asked suspiciously, "Why are you smiling?"

"I think what Master Uncle said is true." Xu Chang'an said seriously, "because I feel that keeping a cat is troublesome, being able to come to you and play with it without responsibility, who wouldn't like that."

"... What do you take this place for?" Qinling asked.

"At least this Li Hua is cute enough." Xu Chang'an said.

"Huh, men..." Qinling spoke, then suddenly stopped. She scrutinized the youth before her, whose demeanor was introverted, gentle like jade, thinking, "You… are you really a man? I'm not even sure."

"..." After a moment of silence, Xu Chang'an helplessly raised his head, "Master Uncle, when I talk to you, I feel… I get tongue-tied much more often than with others."

"You've seen how I usually am." Qinling stretched unceremoniously, "Working seriously for a long time, with some tempers suppressed… Wouldn't be comfortable without venting a little."

Oh.

Xu Chang'an understood, Qinling was using him as an emotional outlet, which is why he felt this Master Uncle was teasing him.

But isn't he the only one who knows Qinling's true nature, isn't there Zhu Pingniang too?

"And there's Senior Zhu, right."

After Xu Chang'an said this, he saw Qinling looking at him like he was a fool.

"That's someone I like, I have to put on a sweet act for her, how could I show bad emotions in front of her."

"... What you said is true." Xu Chang'an nodded, finally realizing he's actually quite a good choice.

A junior who knows she likes girls, and tight-lipped enough not to leak the secret.
