"Hire me? As a teacher?"
Ruan Qi pointed at herself, looking surprised.
Xi Jiu hummed in affirmation, "Would you be willing?"
Ruan Qi: "…But I still have filming to do."
Xi Jiu: "That's okay. Whenever you have time, that's when you can go."
Ruan Qi furrowed her brows gently and whispered, "But isn't Q Base not supposed to allow outsiders to come and go as they please?"
"You're not an outsider."
"?" Ruan Qi looked at him, a bit puzzled. "Mr. Xi, you seem to trust me a lot?"
"Yes."
Xi Jiu didn't hide anything and openly admitted it.
Ruan Qi grew even more conflicted.
"Mr. Xi, why do you trust me so much?" she asked curiously.
Xi Jiu focused his gaze on her.
Then, amidst the young girl's clear gaze, he began to speak slowly.
"Because..."
"We're friends."
Shen Shi, who had come over because she was worried about Ruan Qi and wanted to check in, just happened to hear this sentence.
She almost laughed out loud.
