Li Peifeng stood frozen in shock. Once he regained his senses, he slowly put down the flowers in his hand and forced a smile: "Hello, Auntie, I, I... haven't seen you in a long time, how have you been?"
"Quite well." Li Xin slightly turned her body, gesturing inward with her hand: "Come in and talk."
"Uh, okay." Li Peifeng felt completely ill at ease. He truly did not expect to see her at Zhao Qingge's house. Logically, it shouldn't have been possible since Li Xin, as a leader of the academy, is usually very busy with work. Even on Saturdays, she hardly rests and certainly wouldn't visit her daughter's home on purpose. Just unlucky timing on his part!
"My mentor she..." Upon entering, Li Peifeng looked around awkwardly and felt a bit of lingering fear. Fortunately, when he was outside, although his voice and expression weren't quite right, he only managed to say "mentor" and held back the "I missed you," or he would have wanted to die on the spot!
