After dinner, Qianyue asked Qianchi about the "mysterious incident".

However, unexpectedly, Qian Chi knew nothing.

In the large study, Qianyue lay on the sofa with her legs curled up, her head supported by one hand, and a tablet in front of her.

Qian Chi sat cross-legged on the carpet, recalling what happened during this customs clearance.

Qian Chi thought for a long time, but still couldn't find any records of any mysterious incident. He said, "I didn't receive any notification. It just ended normally."

Qianyue paused slightly.

Could it be that some fraudulent information was implanted?

Qian Chi hummed, stroking his chin, and said, "But since the system says so, it probably can't be false."

He paused, "How about checking out the forum?"

Qian Chi said this and leaned over to look at Qian Yue's screen, but the latter dodged him.

Qianyue slapped his forehead open, quickly closed the chat interface without changing her expression, and said calmly: "I checked, it's not on the forum."

Qian Chi has always been a carefree husky in front of his sister, and he didn't notice anything wrong with Qian Yuedi.

He was surprised and said, "It's not on the forum either? That's strange..."

But if you think about it, it seems understandable.

Since it is a "mysterious event", perhaps the authorities will deliberately block related posts in order to maintain the mystery.

Qian Chi scratched his head. "Why don't we wait and see? Since they've already told you that someone will contact you later, let's just wait and see."

He slumped back on the sofa, his head tilted back and he slumped down, saying, "The intervals between dungeons are so long anyway, there's no need to rush."

Wait, staff?

Qianyue's eyes flashed.

She belatedly remembered that there was indeed a staff member in her contact list.

Moreover, I just messaged her not long ago.

Qianyue silently switched back to the chat software, which showed that someone had sent her a message about half an hour ago.

Qi Feng: Can we meet this weekend? I have something to discuss.

Qianyue was completely confused. What could Qi Feng possibly discuss with her?

Or is it about blind dates?

She murmured to herself, "I don't know how the conversation between that guy and his family went..."

Qian Chi: "Which guy?"

Qianyue glanced at him and didn't answer. It was as if the person who just talked to herself was not her.

However, Qian Chi just responded casually without thinking carefully about what Qian Yue had said before.

His attention was focused on another thing—

"Sister, I found a problem." Qian Chi said seriously.

Qianyue: "Speak."

Qian Chi: "When did your luck become so good? It's not like it's been unlucky for ten thousand years... Ugh!"

Qianyue didn't say anything and violently picked up the pillow and pressed it on his face, causing Qianchi to scream in frustration.

However, Qianyue's hands were very strong. Qian Chi, who was over 1.8 meters tall, was like a little chicken in front of her and had no strength to resist at all.

"Ugh, what are you doing!"

Qianyue sneered: "If you think about it carefully, it seems that I haven't beaten you for about a year or so."

Qian Chi immediately backed off: "Sister, I was wrong, wuwuwuwuwu!!"

"It's too late."

After Qianyue finished speaking, she used more force on her hands, pressing Qianchi so hard that he couldn't even speak and could only hum muffledly.

However, at this moment, Qianyue's phone suddenly rang.

She paused.

Qian Chi suddenly seemed to have seen a savior, and used his hands and feet to remind her: "Uh-huh phone huh!"

Qianyue: "Do you know what it means to speak out of turn?"

"I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Qianyue snorted coldly, threw away the pillow in her hand, and turned to answer the phone.

Behind him, Qian Chi leaned on the sofa, gasping for breath, still in shock.

"Too, too brutal..."

He had no doubt that just now, he had lost half his life.

He now felt that it was not completely unreasonable for his parents to be so anxious to arrange a blind date for his sister.

With his sister's temper of not wanting to get angry... How strong a mental state does one have to be to fall in love with her in daily interactions?

Qian Chi said to himself: "No, I have to go tell Mom that it's better to find a stronger brother-in-law for this high-risk position."

"That Du Yue seemed pretty tough last time. Tsk, I kind of regret buying her a ticket and running away."

As the younger brother who has suffered constant abuse from his eldest sister and has the lowest status in the family, Qian Chi doesn't want to appear in court as a family member of the defendant in a domestic violence case in the future...

On the other hand, Qianyue didn't know that just as she dispelled her mother's obsession with blind dates, her brother started to think about helping her to find a partner.

She walked to the balcony outside the study and made a video call.

Qianyue: "Professor Wu."

As he spoke, an elderly man in his sixties appeared in the projection.

Judging from the video, he seems to be sitting in the study with a picture of the universe and galaxies behind him.

"Ah, Xiaoyue, long time no see. I heard you went back to the main planet recently?"

Qianyue exchanged a few polite pleasantries and chuckled, "The association has approved a leave for me, so it's a good time to go home and visit."

Wu Guohai: "I heard about the leave. Is it because of the leg?"

The smile on Qianyue's face gradually faded.

She explained calmly, "I've almost finished the first half of the year's research, so I just came back to write my thesis."

That's all.

However, the other party did not seem to intend to give her this face.

"You still think you can hide that from me? Back then, in order to film that beast..."

Qianyue interrupted: "Youfeng Beast."

"...I ran so hard my legs were broken. You don't forget how you were carried out in the end, do you?"

Qianyue shut up.

Wu Guohai snorted unhappily, "You young people, don't take advantage of your youth and ignore your health—"

He paused. "Come to think of it, I remember you're not young anymore, right? How are you thinking about changing careers?"

Change career...

Qianyue was furious and retorted bluntly, "Professor, you're not young anymore, why haven't you retired yet?"

Wu Guohai suddenly froze and was choked and unable to speak.

After several seconds, he came back to his senses, "Girl, how can you talk to your teacher like that?"

He huffed, "Anyway, the association has already notified us that the expedition team to Planet 102 in the Tianma Galaxy should have departed today."

"What?!"

Qianyue immediately became furious, and a crack appeared on her face which had always remained calm.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Didn't they say we'd leave in the spring of next year? Why didn't anyone inform me of such a big thing?!"

Wu Guohai said angrily, "Why should I notify you? Are you going to drag your leg and run with the equipment?"

Qianyue sneered: "Who came up with this idea? My leg has healed a long time ago!"

Wu Guohai waved his hand and said, "It's already been decided. We can talk about it next year. This is the decision made after a unified discussion within the association."

How could he not know what Qianyue was thinking? She was so focused on clearing the wasteland that she neglected her original life.

But everything must be done in moderation.

Qianyue joined the association when she first entered university, and these old guys can be considered her masters.

After all, they were the ones who brought him up, so they naturally don't want Qianyue to follow their old path because of her obsession with investigation.

"The exploration of Planet 102 will take at least half a year, and the association has no plans to go out again this year."

Qianyue chuckled and said expressionlessly, "The best time to explore the Tianma Galaxy is in autumn and winter. I was wondering why you said you'd wait until next spring to go. You're deliberately trying to fool me."

The Tianma Galaxy is a new galaxy discovered in the past hundred years and is still under development.

However, based on the current development status, there are many habitable planets in the entire galaxy, and it is very likely that new unknown life forms exist.

Therefore, investigators from all walks of life regard it as a dream destination and flock to it - including Qianyue.

When she first graduated from university, she followed her teachers on a trip to the outer reaches of the Tianma Galaxy. Since then, she has been looking forward to the next opportunity.

However, because the entire galaxy is still under strict control of the stationed border guards, not everyone is eligible to land.

Including their association, they were able to break through the siege by relying on their old brand.

Wu Guohai tutted his words, "How can I call you a donkey? The previous plan was indeed to go in winter. It's just that we suddenly gave in."

He looked at the young woman on the other end of the video, who was clearly skeptical, and tried to persuade her earnestly:

"The team has already set off. It's no use thinking about this now."

"During this time, you should stay at home and recuperate. Your application for the honorary professorship at the Imperial University has also been approved, so you should probably come to campus soon..."

After all, Wu Guohai is an elderly professor. He has been teaching for so many years that it is inevitable that he speaks a bit verbosely.

However, before he could finish his words, the video on the other end suddenly went black.

"...Teach your junior brothers and sisters a few lessons—Hey, this little brat actually hung up the phone?!"

weekend.

A tea restaurant in the central area.

It was not yet noon, so there were not many people in the restaurant.

Qianyue saw Qi Feng as soon as she entered the door.

The man was leaning against the window, his side facing the door.

Compared to the suit and tie he wore last time, this time he only wore a gray hooded sweatshirt, looking much more casual.

Her long hair was tied into a ponytail, revealing her overly delicate facial features.

He must have been bored waiting, as he had a magazine in front of him. Qi Feng casually leaned back on the sofa, flipping through the magazine with a calm expression. The sunlight from the window fell on his face, making his entire demeanor become gentle and warm.

The waiters passing by couldn't help but secretly glance at him. When they heard Qianyue's reserved table number, several girls simultaneously stepped forward, wanting to help lead the way.

Qianyue: “…”

Well, even if Qianyue didn't have any other thoughts about people, she had to admit:

——Qi Feng really suits her aesthetic taste.

Sensing someone approaching, Qi Feng raised his head and met their gaze. The waiter who led the way blushed subconsciously, while Qian Yueluo walked into the booth with confidence, not at all restrained.

She glanced at the time and said, "Ten twenty-seven, three minutes before the agreed time."

Qi Feng immediately understood that Qianyue was explaining that she wasn't late. Instead, it was he who arrived too early, making people feel uncomfortable.

Qi Feng hummed in agreement. He slowly closed the magazine, pushed it away, and took the menu from the waiter. At the same time, he didn't notice that Qian Yue's gaze lingered for a moment on the magazine he had closed.

Qi Feng explained in a normal tone, "I just happened to have some things to do here this morning, so I stopped by after I finished them. What would you like to drink?"

Qianyue said casually, "Anything sweet is fine."

Qi Feng paused his pen and asked without looking up, "Do you like sweet food?"

Qianyue blinked: "It's okay. I just usually drink more sweet things."

"They should have introduced it to you last time, right? I'm away on field trips most of the year, so to replenish my energy, I usually just drink glucose."

The waiter's mouth twitched when he heard this: "..."

Glucose, isn’t that a bit too exaggerated?

This is a high-end tea restaurant. Where can they find something like glucose?

Qi Feng, on the other hand, didn't seem surprised at all to hear such an answer. His eyelashes fluttered slightly as he calmly accepted Qian Yue's response.

"I see."

Qianyue:?

What do you know? Why does this answer sound weird?

However, Qi Feng didn't seem to have any intention of saying anything more. He made a few marks on the menu and finally handed it back to the waiter. Qian Yue watched him communicate with the waiter idly, and then watched Qi Feng...

The tips of my ears turned red.
