Luohuan Zuo still had a lot of credits left from last semester's winnings, so skipping a day of class had no impact on her. Without hesitation, she climbed over the wall and left in front of Ji Yuezhi.

After leaving school, she went straight home.

Her parents were not at home, so she didn't have to explain anything. Luohuan Zuo walked up to the second-floor bedroom, but halfway there, she saw the butler coming in from the doorway. She stopped and asked, "Uncle Zhao, where are my coming-of-age gifts?"

A few months ago, Luohuan Zuo had her coming-of-age ceremony, but she only showed her face and then left. She hadn't come back since.

"Miss, do you want to open the gifts?" Uncle Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Madam had me put them all in the warehouse."

Luohuan Zuo turned around and walked down, saying, "I'll go take a look."

"Why did you suddenly come back?" Butler Zhao followed her and chattered on, "The people from the school came a few times last semester and said you weren't attending classes, which had a bad influence. The master blocked them from coming, but Madam was a little angry and wants you to stay in school."

"She's angry that I didn't answer her calls." Luohuan Zuo stopped at the warehouse door, turned around, and asked the butler to unlock it. "I won't leave this semester."

The butler took out a card, swiped it on the door lock, and checked the iris scanner before the warehouse door opened. "It's good that you're not leaving. Madam and the master will be happy. But Miss, it's Friday today. Aren't you going to class?"

Luohuan Zuo replied, "I haven't come home for dinner in a long time, so I took a leave of absence to come back."

"Then I'll go prepare now." The butler didn't enter the warehouse, quickly turned around and left. He needed to contact the master's wife, saying that the young miss had gone home for dinner.

After the people had left, Zuo Luohuan stepped into the warehouse. The first room was filled with gifts from her coming-of-age ceremony. Just from the packaging, it was clear that most of the items were valuable. She glanced over all the gifts in the room. The butler had sorted them by the sender's surname, so it wasn't difficult to find what she was looking for.

Zuo Luohuan walked to a certain spot and lifted up a package. As expected, it had a tag with "Ji Yuezhi" written on it. The name on the box was written by the butler when he received it, to prevent any confusion with the gifts.

She took out the gift, tore off the tag, and opened the box. A layer of white silk wrapped the contents, with a gold paper card on top. It only had one sentence written on it: "Coming-of-age gift." The signature at the bottom was Ji Yuezhi.

Zuo Luohuan's gaze swept over the beautiful font on the gold paper card. The other party didn't wish her a happy coming-of-age or write any wishes for her future. It was obvious that it was perfunctory. However...she traced her finger over the signature and suddenly hooked her lips. A slightly hoarse and pleasant voice sounded in the warehouse, deliberately reading the signature together with the words "coming-of-age gift": "Ji Yuezhi, coming-of-age gift?"

She put the card aside and reached out to pull off the silk wrapping on the gift. Her gaze fell on the item lying on the raffia grass, and the next second, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She repeated Ji Yuezhi's name in her mind, this time with a hint of anger.

She picked up the so-called gift, a black vertical metal piece that was assembled into a mask shape. There was a square mouthpiece protruding from the bottom, which would cover the mouth when worn.

This was a face lock.

Before the development of suppressants in history, in order to maintain social stability, Alphas had to wear a lock mask when going out. Once it was put on, it couldn't be destroyed by human force and could only be opened with a key by someone else. Omegas would wear a neck lock, which had similar functions but a different shape and location.

Nowadays, face locks have long been phased out of use. Only Alphas who completely can't control their pheromones would use them, and these Alphas were almost equivalent to being useless.Giving a face lock as a gift is no less than mocking her lack of self-control, or perhaps... hoping that her self-control will never improve, what a great adult gift. It's no wonder that the Ji family never misses an opportunity to deal with the Zuo family.

However...

Zuo Luo Huan lowered her gaze and looked at the face lock in her hand. Her fingers touched the joint, realizing that it was different from before. The manufacturing process was completely different. A real face lock should be cast as a whole, not like this one that could be easily broken with a little force.

She lifted the face lock and placed it on her face, her eyes deep and heavy. "Ji Yue Zhi... it seems that you haven't distinguished the difference between a face lock and a kinky face lock."
