"Can't you handle it for him? Aren't you two close?"
Qi Chen said with a bitter smile,
"Even if we are close, it's against the rules. Only relatives can do it on behalf, especially when it involves requesting a leave of absence. It's only because of your special identity that you might be able to help."
"Okay, if he hasn't come back by the start of the term, contact me with this."
Agunas's virtual shadow waved his paw, and a scale shimmering with silver light drifted into Qi Chen's hand. After seeing Qi Chen secure the scale, Agunas's virtual shadow said,
"Pour your strength into the scale, and I'll come as quickly as possible. I believe you wouldn't contact me for anything else."
"All set—so, continue playing cards?"
Upon hearing Feng Yuan's words, Dou Yanlan glanced at the wall clock, picked up Cotton, and said,
"No, it's getting late. I should go."
"I'll walk you out. Xiao Shuang, you stay here with Feng Yuan. Don't wander off."
"Tsk tsk, really..."
