In the end, with Li Lin's solemn promise, Lady Karina agreed to let Caitlin be with him.

But she certainly won't compromise so easily.

After agreeing to this, Karina immediately made three rules with Li Lin.

This includes but is not limited to the two not being able to stay alone in a confined room all the time, not being able to live together before marriage, not being too intimate on the street, etc.

Although Caitlin was a little dissatisfied, she believed that dating was their freedom and Karina should not interfere with what they did.

Fortunately, Li Lin noticed in time that Kalina's face was becoming increasingly gloomy, and he quickly expressed that he understood and could accept it.

In addition, the Hextech weapons and radio walkie-talkie blueprints he designed were taken away by Lady Kalina.

According to Li Lin's idea, he originally wanted to use these drawings as a betrothal gift and not take a penny of the subsequent profit.

To his surprise, Mrs. Karina still gave him a minimum share of 30% of the drawings according to the previous standards.

He also got a 50% share of the profits from the radio walkie-talkies and the new combat armor he designed specifically for the elite law enforcement team, which used Hextech energy crystals as the power core and added auxiliary chips.

Of course, Giraman is also one of the sponsors of the Piltover Security. Even if these two arms make a profit, the returns will not be much.

The four drawings of the fuel motorcycle, four-wheeled vehicle, communication base station and artificial communication satellite were temporarily returned by her.

Li Lin has not yet completed the design of base stations and artificial satellites, two technologies that are ahead of their time. Mrs. Kalina is ready to invest more money in him to help him improve them.

As for Earth's modern transportation, such as gasoline-powered motorcycles and cars...

Given the terrain of Piltover and Zaun and the fact that oil has not yet been put into large-scale use, they cannot replace bicycles, Hextech two-wheelers, cyclocross bikes and other means of transportation for the time being.

Once everything was agreed upon, even the patent and profit-sharing contracts were signed.

Li Lin wanted to take Caitlin's hand and walk her back to her room, and give her a goodnight kiss before going back to his own room.

But under the strict supervision of Mrs. Karina and Mr. Elro, he was even deprived of the chance to say goodnight to Caitlin...

Feeling depressed, Li Lin could only go upstairs to his room alone, take off his evening gown, tidy it up, and then take a hot bath.

By the time he climbed into bed feeling a little tired, it was already past one in the morning.

…

…

The night was silent, and the rising sun in the early morning dispelled the thin haze in the air of Piltover.

Li Lin, sleepy-eyed, got up from the bed as the bell in the Zodiac basement rang.

After quickly washing up and getting dressed, Li Lin just opened the door when a small white hand hung in the air and almost hit him in the face.

Standing outside the door was a young girl wearing casual clothes mainly in purple tones, with her long hair tied into a ponytail at the back of her head. She looked youthful and energetic.

"Kate?"

Li Lin's face lit up with joy. He hugged her in his arms and gently sniffed the elegant violet fragrance on her body.

“Hmm…”

Caitlin blushed and let out an incomprehensible whimper, but she didn't show too much resistance.

She struggled a little, but found she couldn't get free, so she buried her face in Li Lin's chest and put her arms around his waist, enjoying this moment of unsupervised tenderness.

After a while, Caitlin raised her eyes and looked at Li Lin with her watery eyes.

"Alright, alright~~ It's getting late, and Mom and Dad are waiting for us to go downstairs for breakfast... If we're any later, we'll be suspected."

She reached out and poked Li Lin's face, giggled, and broke free from his arms.

Li Lin shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Really, how can falling in love be like stealing..."

"Huh, isn't this the condition you promised my mother last night?" Caitlin glared at him and said in a dissatisfied tone.

"Then don't you see your mother's expression at that time? How could I refuse?"

Li Lin stretched out his hands and rubbed Caitlin's little face. Unable to bear the "torture" any longer, she fought back with martial arts.

The two of them played around for a while, then went downstairs one after the other.

After having breakfast and preparing the necessary items for going out, they walked together, talking and laughing until they reached Greenwell Street before parting ways.

After watching Caitlin disappear at the end of the alley leading to the apartment, Li Lin calmed down and continued to move towards Piltover University.

Today happens to be a holiday, so there are not many students in the college.

Occasionally, groups of professors, bishops, and students who were busy with important research and had no time to rest would pass by in a hurry.

Li Lin showed his academy ID to the guard and went straight to Heimerdinger's office.

But when he just arrived at the office door, he found that the double door in front of him was open a crack, and Heimerdinger's sharp shouting came from inside, as if he was arguing with someone.

"Oh my God, Giggs, stop your dangerous behavior!"

Giggs? When did he get here?

Li Lin raised his eyebrows.

He vaguely remembered that Ziggs in the background was one of Heimerdinger's assistants.

But after a night of crazy explosions in Piltover with the already crazy Jinx, he accepted Jinx's advice, parted ways with Heimerdinger and moved to Zaun.

How come I haven't seen this slightly off-kilter yordle before?

Just as Li Lin was about to knock on the door and enter, he heard another equally sharp and familiar voice from a Yodel:

"It's okay! Don't worry, Professor Heimerdinger. This bomb is very small. It can only...it can only blow up this office."
