"I can't believe you dragged me here!" Zhenya exclaimed inside the car as Yanlei, the driver, moved towards the Seals' headquarters.
Yue Yue was sitting in the front seat, pointing at a garage, "You can park it there, inside."
She was sitting in the backseat with Xinchun as he fixed his hair. "And I can't believe you brought him."
Xinchun growled at her, "How would I know that it was the short straw?"
Zhenya raised her voice a bit. "You should have known since you're so good with computers!"
"What's that got to do with picking straws?"
"You can code and hack the straws!"
"Are you even hearing yourself?!"
"Shut up, both of you!" Yue Yue's voice boomed through the car as he looked at them through the mirror. "If I hear you arguing one more time inside there, both of you are banned from the next mission,"
"But I -"
"And I don't care if we don't have a hacker," Yue Yue cut Xinchun's sentence off. He faced Xinchun then Zhenya, "Understood?"
"Y-yes," Both of them muttered, nodding their heads slowly.

"You're here! Finally!" Wenjun exclaimed, welcoming the trio, leading them to the living room where a bunch of costumes were scattered on the floor.
"Let me guess," Zhenya crossed her arms over her chest, "Yuqin's here?"
"We needed new costumes," Wenjun kicked some of the clothes away, "She arrived together with Justin and Xingjie. They're in the kitchen,"
"Oh, good, I'm starving," Xinchun announced as he walked past them, heading towards the kitchen.
"So, where's Mubo?" Yue Yue questions as he sat down on the couch, Zhenya sitting beside him.
"Oh, he went to the market with Zhangjing-ge," Wenjun explains. "But he'll be back soon -"
"NO! XINCHUN THAT'S MINE!" Zhou Rui's voice was heard from the kitchen as a bunch of clattering were heard. "I TOLD YOU GIVE THAT BACK!"
Yue Yue let out a long sigh as glared at Zhenya. The girl shrugs, "I'm not the one fighting,"
The three hurriedly walked towards the kitchen as they found Zhou Rui and Xinchun running around the room.
"What happened here?" Yue Yue asked, not knowing what to react.
Xingjie pointed at a biscuit that was on top of the fridge, "It was the last piece. Plus it's also from a snack that's very rare here."
"Is that the last pack?" Zhenya asked, facing Wenjun who had his mouth hung open. The kitchen was already a mess.
"That was the last one," Wenjun whispered as the doorbell rang making Xinchun and Zhou Rui who had now rolled on the floor, freeze. "Mubo-ge,"
Wenjun opened the door, meeting Han Mubo who was carrying two plastic bags while Zhangjing was standing behind him. Eating two ice creams, "Yue Yue's here?"
"Yeah, they're in the kitchen," Wenjun answered softly, leading them there. Much to his surpise, everyone was sitting quietly but the kitchen was still a mess.
"Did a storm walked passed here?" Zhangjing asked, licking his ice cream.
"How did -?"
Yue Yue stood beside Wenjun who had a confused look, smiling like a proud father, "Trust me, my kids are worst than this."

Mubo sipped his tea as he eyed Zhenya, "You've grown a lot,"
"Yue gege's been feeding me well," Zhenya boasts as she picked up a french fry from the bowl infront of her. "But go on, why are we here?"
"Oh, maybe you need more costumes?" Yuqin asked, as she showed her a revealing backless dress.
Xinchun almost coughed out the food he was eating, "Zhenya is too fat for that dress,"
The girl was about to hit him when Yue Yue coughed, sending them a warning look. Zhenya sat back down, facing Mubo, "You were saying, gege?"
Mubo smiled, remembering his youthful days, "I'm saying, Yue Yue, isn't it time to send Zhenya to the serpents or maybe just to the panthers?"
Zhenya widens her eyes as he looked at Yue Yue and Xinchun with shock. Her? Living and doing missions with the top units in the group?
"I -" Zhenya said, her eyes darted towards Xinchun. She saw a hint of sadness in his eyes, "I don't know if I can -"
"Oh, nonsense," Mubo chuckled seeing Yuqin's reaction who was bursting with joy, "Yuqin can help you adjust."
Yuqin grinned, "Yay! I finally have a sister! You don't know how tiring it is to live with boys who only lie around the house. Especially Chengcheng-ge who's only talent is eating!"
Justin laughed, "At least, I'm better than them, right, Yuqin?"
"You're even worse," Yuqin deadpanned, facing Zhenya.
Zhenya was still struggling to juggle her thoughts. Why the change of unit all of a sudden? She was doing well with the Koalas. Was it because she failed to get those documents from Boa's computer?
Zhenya was about to speak when Yue Yue beat her to it, "Are you going to take her now, Xingjie?"
Xingjie nods, "The sooner the better,"
"Ge!" Zhenya calls out as the captain of the Koala Unit stood up. "Are you serious?"
Yue Yue showed her a weak smiled, "It's for your own good,"
Zhenya got more confused as she searched for Xinchun but he was still looking at her with somewhat a pained expression, "Y-you're not agreeing to this, are you?"
Xinchun closed his eyes before opening them again, and speaking to her with a soft tone. "Take care of yourself,"
