Not to mention the little packrat, even Susanna, who was born in Country M, probably only knew one or two types of handwriting!
On the other hand, the little packrat’s handwriting was smooth and natural. It was not the kind of handwriting that was imitated at the last minute at all. It was obvious that he was well-versed in calligraphy.
This was awesome.
It was amazing that a foreign child could master the handwriting of Country M to such an expert level!
Just as Professor Brown was feeling surprised, Susanna also exclaimed, “This is… a thousand-year-old amber stone?”
The little packrat handed her a necklace. The pendant on it was like a cat’s eye, glowing with a brownish-gold light and emitting a faint natural amber fragrance.
Gu Qiqi smiled and nodded. “Yes, it seems that Miss Susanna knows a lot about stones.”
Girls were more or less familiar with the common expensive stones.
The reason why Susanna sighed was because the color showed that the amber was obviously very expensive. She had never expected that the greeting gift from Gu Qiqi and the little packrat would be so valuable.
Professor Brown rubbed his hands in embarrassment. “Doctor Gu, your gift is so expensive, but my meal is so simple. I’m really embarrassed and don’t know what to do…”
Gu Qiqi’s lips curled up slightly as she smiled. “No, your soup is seahorse soup. There are also rare North American oysters in the main dish. There’s whale agar in the dessert… These are all rare ingredients.”
Professor Brown’s expression changed slightly.
However, seeing that Gu Qiqi was just saying it and not doing anything else, he felt relieved and suggested, “Oh, I almost forgot. I’ve already agreed to let you visit my collection room. Since you’re already here, you can’t let you return empty-handed. How about this, the little boy? Grandpa and Auntie Susanna will also give you two gifts. You can choose whatever you want!”
The boy tilted his head. “That depends on whether I really like your gift.”
Professor Brown laughed out loud. “Of course! It’s definitely… a gift that can’t be seen outside.”
The little boy nodded happily. “Okay. Where’s your collection room?”
Professor Brown smiled.
He clapped his hands.
“Whoosh—!” The female servant immediately pulled open the heavy purple and red curtains in front of the dining room window.
The cold moonlight outside instantly poured in.
Outside the window was the dried branches of the parasol tree. There was even an especially black crow perched on it, staring coldly into the dining room.
Gu Qiqi raised her eyebrows. “The collection room is outside?”
Professor Brown smiled mysteriously. “No, it’s right here. Just take a step forward.”
Go forward?
Gu Qiqi looked at the large number of transparent glass windows and the black crows outside.
Any further and she would hit the glass!
However, in the next second, a strong force attacked from behind Gu Qiqi and the little packrat.
Both of them couldn’t help but fall forward!
It was as if they had been bewitched!

At this moment.
Behind the bushes more than ten meters away from the villa, the bodyguard in charge of monitoring loosened his shoulders and moved his fingers when he heard Gu Qiqi and Professor Brown bidding farewell. “Brothers, prepare to retreat. Young Lady Qiqi is coming out…”
However, just as they finished speaking, they heard Professor Brown invite them to visit the collection room. The bodyguard then gestured to his companions. “Wait a minute, they’re even going to look at a collection room… Eh? We came to scout last night, so why haven’t we seen a collection room here?… Oh, foreigners might call the room differently from us. Perhaps they mean the library or study?”
