Sinai: "…Actually, I really want to be a salted fish."

"Disciple, you can't be so unambitious." Dean Norman advised, "How about this, you choose a few to be your students, and I'll let Herwen distribute the rest."

"Okay." Sinai agreed, "You help me pick."

She hung up the phone and habitually opened WeChat.

Upon seeing a new pop-up on the right side of a yellow box with a red number "10", her breath suddenly paused.

Sinai calmed down for three seconds, then clicked it open.

[Old Shameless patted your shoulder, saying all this money is yours.]

Below was a string of messages.

This proved Norton had patted her ten times in a row.

Sinai: "…"

What's up with this guy!

Always patting her!

She had just changed her WeChat profile to a new pat-pat icon the day before yesterday, and he was already addicted.

Before Sinai could send over a "?", two more messages came from the other side.

[Old Shameless]: Need money?

[Old Shameless]: Day in and day out, what have you been buying?

Sinai thought, she really has no common language with Old Antiques.

It's said there's a generation gap every three years; Norton doesn't even know how much older he is than her, their generation gap is deeper than the Mariana Trench.

Sinai looked down.

[Randomly changed, what are you doing?]

[Old Shameless]: Just checking on you recently, how should I put it, I'm somewhat your—

[Old Shameless]: A dad.

Sinai: "…"

She didn't want to talk to him anymore.

She was about to exit the chat, but her hand shook and accidentally pressed the video call button.

Before she could hang up, a "beep" sounded, and the other side connected.

"Hey, kid."

A man's deep, slightly indifferent voice came through the microphone.

On the phone screen appeared his handsome face.

His usual style, silver short hair, two fine black diamond earrings slightly glowing.

Westerners rarely have emerald green eyes, yet not only do they not seem out of place on him, they add a touch of mature man's charm.

Sinai's hand paused, her face expressionless, but three words bounced in her mind—

It's! Over!

She did indeed accidentally press it, but using this reason with Old Shameless, would he believe it given his arrogance?

Norton raised his eyebrows: "What, you missed me?"

Still that casual tone, carrying a bit of a devil-may-care attitude.

Like a feather dancing on the tips of the heartstrings, easily tugging at the heart.

Sinai's heart momentarily skipped a beat.

"Yes, my dear His Excellency The Chariot." Her expression was calm, and her voice quite faint, "I miss you immensely to the point where I can't eat or sleep, thus I'm calling to check on you, old sir."

Her platinum blond hair was soft, occasionally brushing against the screen.

Like it fell into his palm.

Norton's eyes squinted slightly: "Didn't I say, you could drop the words 'His Excellency The Chariot'? Hmm?"

The impact of his spoken words was far greater than mere text.

Hearing him say it, Sinai's ears seemed to be slightly scorched, turning a bit red.

She changed hands to hold the phone, reaching for a file with her right hand: "Isn't this a respectful title for you, old sir?"

"Tsk." A cold laugh echoed from the man, "How come I never saw such respect before? Kid, turns out you're a double-faced."

Sinai shifted the topic: "Do you still need laser weapons? Should I send them over?"

"No need, you don't even know where I am." Norton coolly said, "I've transferred you some money, change the pat-pat icon, understood?"

"I don't need it." Sinai refused, but subconsciously responded, "Change to what?"

Norton hung up and sent her a screenshot.

The screenshot showed the following words.

[You rubbed the kid's cheek, saying it's so soft]

[Old Shameless]: Change to this, it's nice.

Sinai: "…"

This! Guy!

Calling him Old Shameless was actually elevating him!

Sinai directly placed the phone face down on the table, expressionlessly beginning to work.

Yet her face was still faintly warm.

"Wow, Sinai teacher, was that your boyfriend just now?" Charlotte had only glanced briefly when she came in, "He's so handsome, I think he's even more attractive than the Ruler of the Lorentz Family, mainly because I like the abstinent style!"

"No, he's my—" Sinai paused, "A relative, I had no place to stay a while ago, and he took me in."

"Oh, no wonder, no wonder." Charlotte said, "I was just about to say, you guys really have a couple's resemblance, since you're relatives, looking similar makes sense."

Sinai was rarely at a loss for words: "Couple… resemblance?"

"Yes, your hair colors are quite similar." Charlotte took out a few lists, "This is what Dean Norman asked me to deliver to you, they'll arrive at the base tomorrow."

"Okay." Once Sinai gets into work, she forgets about other things, "Put it here, I'll take a look."

Charlotte placed the files on the table and left the office.

Sinai picked it up, and after reading it, was lost in thought.

The reason why the Cosmic Carrier hasn't been completed is due to too many domains being involved and the scarcity of talent.

Mechanical and computer departments alone aren't enough.

The universe is different from Earth, and food standards are extremely stringent.

"Shaoying." Sinai contemplated for a moment, then dialed another number, "I'll be sending an invitation, which will arrive tomorrow. You go to Imperial Capital University and hand this invitation to cousin from the Ying Family."

"Yes, from the Ji Family, surname Ji, name Li. She's as old as you and has a common language with you."

On the other end, Shaoying agreed: "Okay, aunt, if she's willing, I'll come over with her."

"Mm." Sinai nodded, "Thanks for your help."

She picked up a pen and began to write her day plan.

When Sinai came to her senses, she found she had written a name on the paper.

Norton Francis.

She wrote it several times.

Sinai leaned against the chair, held her head, and slowly exhaled.

It's over.

She seems to genuinely like someone.

**

In the early hours of March 7th.

The Luo Family arrived in Jade Ice Cui.

This was their first visit to a city that integrates commerce and industry.

Father Luo exclaimed: "Truly luxurious, worthy of the Lorentz Family."

Luo Ziqiu agreed wholeheartedly.

He looked around while opening the map.

Suddenly, Luo Ziqiu froze, staring blankly ahead.

Having not received an answer for a while, Father Luo was puzzled: "Ziqiu, what are you looking at?"

Luo Ziqiu was speechless, his expression surprised.

A stretch limousine stopped at the roadside, the door opened, and Di Wu Yue jumped out of the car.
