Chapter 471: How about celebrating your birthday for you, okay?

Before Sally could go to the Beast Emperor's Palace, Zi Qi had already come to find her. He looked exhausted; the purple in his eyes had dimmed, overtaken by shadows.

Sally was holding a broom, sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard. A storm last night had brought a flurry of leaves into the backyard, along with some unidentified green fruits.

Upon seeing Zi Qi, Sally blinked, then handed him the broom. "Help me sweep up the courtyard—I'm going to make some open-air barbecue."

"Yanyan... Okay," Zi Qi took the broom.

Sally watched him sweep little by little, glancing at her from time to time.

"The children's recent grades weren't very ideal. I'll keep a closer eye on them," Zi Qi said to Sally.

"No need, just let them study at their own pace. Besides, this month's test doesn't count. I got the wrong papers, and I wanted to arrange a makeup test, but Qing Linghuan disagreed and made a fuss with the kids, which is why their grades turned out this way."
