章 248: Mother

It was already night when Mai Qi and I returned to the dormitory.

As soon as we pushed the door open, Lu Yan stood up abruptly and said eagerly, "Nanxing, Mai Qi, you're finally home" This welcoming was too strange. We were about to tease Lu Yan when Mai Qi froze. Then I saw the crowd of people in our tiny dorm. There were Ye Qian, Gu Yan, and a middle-aged woman.

I knew at first glance that the beautiful woman was Mai Qi's mother because they looked so much alike.

Ye Qian stood up to greet us. "Nanxing, Mai Qi, you're back." I turned to Mai Qi.

Mai Qi walked to her mother unwillingly and asked, "Why are you here?"

Mrs. Mai answered gracefully and evenly, "If not, how am I supposed to find you?" She looked past Mai Qi and used a very uncomfortable gaze to study me. I nodded politely, "Hello."

She turned away and ignored me. She asked Mai Qi, "Where you were? I was waiting for a long time."
