Li Yao's cheeks were flushed in embarrassment. He faltered and failed to give an answer.

Yuan Manqiu misunderstood his awkwardness. She said in a comforting voice, "Students of the Grand Desolate War Institution are all grown-ups.

Now, you are already a research associate of the institution. So, there is no need to worry about the code of conduct."
