Qi Lin felt that Wang Ji had suddenly become a little strange...

Perhaps she's being dramatic, or perhaps she's just a bit odd.

Previously, he had been very aggressive, a young man with plenty of energy, clearly determined to win her over. His considerate manner and his willingness to use cheesy pickup lines without hesitation put a lot of pressure on her.

Although he saved her life, and although he was a hero in her eyes, they had only known each other for a very short time, just a few days.

And all in all, it didn't even take three hours.

Although he was really handsome and quite likable, she couldn't just say yes to someone who was pursuing her. At the very least, she had to... maintain some composure.

There's also the question of whether she and he are a good match—does she really like him, or is he just having a passing fancy?

Yes, even now, Qi Lin believes that Wang Ji's feelings for her were just a passing fancy, perhaps love at first sight, but it's hard to say whether it will last.

He is too young.

Only 18.

Eighteen is indeed the age when love first blossoms, but one may not know what love is, and he may not know whether he truly loves her.

What does he like about her?

Based on their brief interactions, Qi Lin could only conclude that he liked her appearance; she couldn't think of anything else besides that.

Does he understand her? Does he know what she likes and dislikes? Does he understand her heart?

There probably isn't any, or perhaps he's never even considered it.

Or perhaps he just wanted to have some fun... Maybe he'll get tired of it and let it go.

At his age, does he think about the future? Does he consider whether she will get married when she is almost thirty in a few years?

He's only eighteen; he couldn't possibly have thought of these things.

Although he was her savior, Qi Lin could not easily repay him with her body because of that...

She didn't want to... repay him with her body because of this.

If one day she really does end up with him, she hopes it will be mutual love, that she truly loves him, and that she is not being coerced out of gratitude.

She was very clear-headed. Although she had felt joy, delight, fantasy, and shyness all day, she shouldn't rush things.

The future is long, and in their daily lives together at school, perhaps one day they will hold hands, and then...

Hmm~ Hmm~ or Hmm~

However, there is another, very important, point that she can hardly say she has no worries—this child once wanted to be emperor.

Therefore, it's difficult for her to predict his true attitude towards love, especially after he gained superpowers and given the unpredictable future of this world...

Her superpowers and desire to become emperor certainly made her hesitant.

Who can guarantee he won't be unfaithful? In fact, she felt right now that there was a high chance he would be unfaithful... just like an emperor.

At an age when one's temperament is hard to set, with the qualities to attract attention, one's ambition is already quite evident.

She wanted to wait, to wait naturally, to see what his character was really like.

Or perhaps she will fall in love with him, even if... even if he doesn't look reassuring.

She thought that she was quite likely to end up with him, not out of gratitude.

He's really good—handsome, a superhero, gentle, considerate, self-reliant, ambitious, kind, patriotic, and intelligent.

And no matter what, no matter how dramatic she was, he saved her, like a god descending to earth in the last second before she died.

These past few days, she's been dreaming about him constantly, and... she feels extremely lost and somewhat... regretful about his sudden departure.

Every second of that night when he rescued her and held her in his arms would occasionally replay in her mind, as if on a loop.

At night, in my dreams.

Haha, there's just no way around it... This melodramatic hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress story is every girl's dream, and she's no exception.

Perhaps, she won't be able to hold on for much longer.

So Wang Ji didn't cling to her in the afternoon, which made her feel a little relieved and pleasantly surprised. She felt that he was quite considerate and that he had put some pressure on her, so she knew to keep her distance.

He seemed a bit mature, which made her feel quite good.

But gradually she felt something was off—why didn't he invite her to dinner? He was so passionate before, could it be that he overreacted?

Moreover, he didn't appear in the classroom until almost eight o'clock, and he simply nodded to her as a normal greeting, without being as enthusiastic and clingy as before.

She greeted the others as well, with a similar attitude to them.

He sat down freely, without doing anything special... and he wasn't sitting very close to her.

She was in the front row, and he was in the second-to-last row in the corner of the classroom, in front of a beautiful woman in a black trench coat, sleeping.

She felt like something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Is it because she has never been in a relationship?

She couldn't help but look back, thought for a moment, and then got up...

"Hey! Have you guys been watching this news these past few days? Do you think those speculations online are true? Do aliens really exist?" A boy in a red jacket and jeans sitting not far away suddenly spoke up, looking a little nervous.

The news he was referring to was the news that was still trending on the large screen hanging at the front of the classroom:

A humanoid creature resembling a crocodile and unidentified armed forces suddenly appeared in the commercial street of Tianhe City. They were later subdued by the Chinese military. Some civilians were injured in the incident, and the military has not yet made a specific response.

In fact, this news has been circulating widely since yesterday, with all sorts of speculations and judgments.

Adding to the earlier rumors that some people saw a large robot during the airport road terrorist attack, various speculations have emerged online in the past two days, with the most popular view being that these are all aliens.
