She didn't know when it started, but she and Mu Chen had grown closer and closer.

Mingmei stared blankly at the mecha model, pondering this question.

Because she had crammed during her spare time, she was now able to understand some of what the teacher was saying. Therefore, Mingmei no longer felt as anxious as before when she would absentmindedly stare blankly into class.

She also stole a glance at Mu Chen sitting next to her.

I don't know why, but every time, the other person ends up sitting next to me; it's such a strange coincidence!

The rich aroma of the rose honey black tea that the other person had given her still lingered around her nose, causing her thoughts to wander again.

As a result, Mu Chen, who was looking at the teacher just a second ago, suddenly turned his head to look at Mingmei the moment she looked over.

Then, Mu Chen even playfully winked at the other person!

"You! The one who blinked!"

Before Mingmei could even roll her eyes at Mu Chen, the teacher in front couldn't take it anymore!

This is outrageous!

Did they turn his place into a dating spot?!

ah! ?

The middle-aged teacher pointed directly at Mu Chen and shouted, "You, the one sitting at the back, the one with the pigtail who winks at the girls! Please answer my question!"

Mu Chen: "..."

Mingmei: Pfft~

Mingmei almost burst out laughing when the teacher caught her red-handed, but she was dumbfounded when Mu Chen answered smoothly afterward.

Even the teacher looked slightly embarrassed after hearing the answer, muttered "Tone it down a bit!", cleared his throat, and continued lecturing.

Mingmei: Doing two things at once?

Wait a minute, didn't you say earlier that you didn't know this course?

Suddenly, Mingmei felt a slight sense of betrayal.

We agreed we were both academic underachievers, so how did someone suddenly become a top student?

"What's wrong?"

Unaware of Mingmei's complex inner thoughts, Mu Chen noticed the complicated look in Mingmei's eyes as she looked at him.

"Do you know all the answers to the teacher's questions?" Mingmei couldn't help but ask.

"Not really."

"Then why did you answer so fluently?"

"Because I memorized the entire textbook for this course. The questions he asked were from the book, but not from today's lesson, but from last week's.

Mingmei: "..."

Mingmei glanced at the textbook's memory stored in her personal computer; it was nearly two gigabytes.

Mu Chen's explanation made Mingmei realize even more how vast the differences in people's character are these days!

Even Lu Xiaoyao, a bystander sitting close to Mu Chen and his companion, had a somewhat stiff expression.

Wow! That guy is awesome!

How can you memorize the whole thing if you don't understand it?

"So what's next? Are you just going to memorize it and be done with it?" Mingmei asked softly.

"No, I plan to study the contents a bit; I don't understand most of it..."

"Oh...you're pretty good at memorizing!"

For some reason, Mingmei noticed that when she said those words, the corners of the other person's mouth curved up even more, as if they had heard something that pleased him greatly.

I didn't say anything just now, did I?

Mingmei tilted her head, a little confused. Could it be because she had praised the other person?

Well... this man is way too easily satisfied, isn't he?

Mingmei stared at the smile blooming on the other person's lips and was momentarily dazed.

[You're really good at memorizing! This book looks like gibberish to me, I can't understand it at all.]

[You don't need fortune telling, so you don't need to read this convoluted stuff!]

For some reason, the voices of a young boy and girl echoed in Mingmei's mind—so familiar, yet so strange...

“When I was little, my teacher... my teacher made me memorize many books that I couldn’t understand. He said that once I had memorized all the books, I would naturally understand them.”

As Mu Chen looked at the mecha model in front of him, he whispered these words to Mingmei, not noticing the momentary look of confusion on Mingmei's face.

Mingmei, however, snapped out of her reverie upon hearing his words. Gazing at the longing in Mu Chen's eyes, she murmured, "It's so good..."

"What?" Hearing Mingmei's murmur, Mu Chen turned to look at her.

"nothing……"

Mingmei turned her head away from the other person, reached out and rubbed her temples, feeling a little empty inside, as if something was wrong.

【Ghost.】

【I'm here~】

Could you check my health to see if there's anything wrong?

[Please wait two minutes, host.]

Mingmei always felt that something was off ever since she woke up in the interstellar space.

My past memories seem complete, yet also incomplete. From childhood to adulthood, the memories of growing up with my parents and sister are still vivid, but something seems to be missing...

[Host, your body is perfectly fine~]

Guigui was startled by Mingmei's sudden request for a physical examination, but thankfully the examination revealed nothing wrong. Still, Guigui cautiously asked, "Host, do you feel unwell anywhere?"

【No. 】

Noticing Mingmei's silence, Mu Chen turned his gaze to her again, only to find that she had already begun to listen attentively to the lesson. He then looked away, his thoughts unknown to anyone.

Meanwhile, Lu Xiaoyao, sitting in the front row, was secretly using her personal terminal to chat excitedly in a chat group called #MyShippingCPMustBeReal!#.

[It's Lu Xiaoyao: Bros! It seems like the couple had a fight in class. They were talking just a moment ago, but now they're not!]
