Dormitory 218. Lian Han, having been kicked out of the Skynet system, paced back and forth in his dormitory. Why did he just... and what did that sentence mean?

"It's not frivolous towards me."

"You are not allowed to call others that from now on."

The second sentence could still be explained, but the first sentence—even Han recognized every single word, so why couldn't she understand it when put together?

[You're making me dizzy.]

Lian Han paused, still finding it unbelievable. [Just now—Ning Jue can't stand hearing such things?]

Xing Yucheng was still racking his brains about how to bring this up when he saw Lian Han had already proactively prepared an excuse for him. He paused for a moment, then said, "[You also know that what you said was inappropriate?]"

[It's just calling him "little brother," right? I think Jingyuan said it quite naturally. My only problem was that my voice was a little soft. Besides, he asked me to change how I addressed him—he wasn't satisfied with just his title or name—I was just teasing him.]

But it seems you've charmed him so much that he's changed his mind. Knowing Xing Xiting as he does, if he's decided to give up, he absolutely won't touch her at all, so he's probably changed his mind now.

Xing Yucheng thought about it, and seeing Lian Han's disapproving expression, decided that the kid should handle this himself. He'd already been giving his brother face by not causing trouble, since the boy was eyeing his girl.

[You probably have no idea how seductive you were just now. And with that face of yours—tsk tsk!]

Lian Han remained silent. [So you really can't stand me calling you that?]

[It should be. Why don't you ask him?]

Ask him? Lian Han glanced at the Skynet connection pod, his hand barely touching the special glass before he immediately withdrew it, quickly leaving the room. [What's there to ask? I don't want to see him right now!]

Seeing Lian Han come out, Ye Ying turned to look at her, then asked in confusion, "Xiao Han, what's wrong? Why is your face red?"

Lian Han: "...It's nothing. I just feel a little hot."

But the bedroom has a temperature control system that adjusts to the owner's most comfortable temperature. Ye Ying opened her mouth, but didn't say anything, asking, "Xiao Han, what do you want to do today?"

It's not even 1 a.m. yet. Lian Han glanced at the smart device. "It's still early."

"You're fine now, aren't you? Even if you go to Skynet after you've finished your makeup, it won't affect anything. It'll save them from nagging you."

That makes sense. Lian Han nodded, "Then let's just do it casually. It doesn't need to be too elaborate, as long as An He doesn't make any mistakes."

Yozakura asked, "The same as last time?"

Lian Han recalled what she had said about the last time. The last time she had put on makeup seriously was when she went to the banquet. This also brought up a bunch of messy memories, such as being photographed without her consent, rumors, and the mecha academy. So she shook her head and said, "Don't be so glamorous. Just keep it simple and elegant."

Yozakura nodded, "Let's go then, I'll go check your wardrobe first."

"good."

The dormitory wardrobe wasn't big, and it was filled with Lian Han's usual clothes. The dresses and similar items she didn't wear often were all thrown into her spatial storage box. Of course, when Ye Ying referred to the wardrobe, she meant the latter. With Lian Han's permission, she connected to the spatial storage box using her smart device and began searching for a suitable dress…

20 minutes later.

"Alright. Paired with these shoes, it'll be perfect." Ye Ying handed a pair of high heels to Lian Han.

Lian Han looked at the height and asked, "How about we change to a different pair?"

"This is it. None of the others in your wardrobe match your clothes." Yozakura's expression was resolute.

Lian Han frowned, but he could only compromise when facing Ye Ying, "Alright, alright. I'll practice now."

Yozakura is introverted and gentle, but she is very persistent in her creations. However, her taste is much better than Lian Han's.

In this regard, even Han wouldn't have a falling out with her.

"Hmm. Try walking around. Don't ruin your skirt," Yozakura said.

Lian Han nodded, "Don't worry."

Finding a dress and applying lipstick in 20 minutes was quite efficient for Ye Ying. She checked Lian Han again to make sure there were no problems before leaving.

Lian Han looked at the shoes and put them on anyway. Walking around the dormitory, although she wasn't used to high heels, her 2S physique meant she couldn't possibly fall.

After walking back and forth for a while, Lian Han suddenly received a message from Jiang Chenrui, asking her to practice their teamwork together.

Lian Han raised an eyebrow. Her partner was still Fatty Ruan, but because of Aunt Chen, she had practiced with Jiang Chenrui quite a few times. He knew she didn't have classes, so it was perfectly normal for him to extend an invitation.

Thinking that he had no classes in the afternoon, Lian Han asked him for the location and logged into Tianwang.

After being tossed around for 20 minutes, Lian Han had already forgotten about what happened between him and Ning Jue. But when he saw himself in Ning Jue's study again, the awkwardness and embarrassment from before instantly returned.

It took less than half an hour from offline to online. Although Ning Jue's work efficiency was not slow, she was still unable to process all the files within half an hour.

He was slightly surprised to see Lian Han online, but his gaze deepened when he saw her outfit.

The girl wore a long blue dress, which made her fair skin appear flawless, and even her alluring features were somewhat diminished, leaving her with a stunning beauty.

The character's attire in Skynet has two states: one is unchanging clothing, and the other is a simulation based on the real-world situation at each login. Lian Han clearly chose the latter, as would most others. But Ning Jue could also tell that this girl was inherently someone who didn't care much for dressing up. Was she dressed like this in real life to go on a date?

What's going on here?

Lian Han clearly didn't understand what he meant, and coughed lightly, "You're busy. I'm looking for a friend, I must have chosen the wrong login method, I'll be leaving right away."

After saying that, she teleported away without waiting for Ning Jue's reply.

Ning Jue, who was putting down the documents and about to get up, thought: ...So, is she here to see a male friend or a female friend?

Lian Han didn't know what he was thinking. He returned to his birthplace and his first words were: "003, from now on, I will log in from my birthplace by default."

"Yes, Master."

Lian Han nodded, then thought of teleporting away again, but suddenly remembered something. She took off her eight- or nine-centimeter high heels and found flat shoes in her smart device to change into. Although it's true that she should practice more if she's not used to high heels, she'd be crazy to go to the mecha training ground in those.

No sooner had Lian Han left than someone entered her birthplace. After looking around, their expression turned complicated when they noticed the shoes on the ground...

In the afternoon, Lian Han and the others were driven to Yizhen Pavilion by An He. However, after seeing the waiter lead them directly to a private room, they felt something was wrong. "An He, is this really your treat?" But the four of them didn't need a private room at all.

Anhe chuckled and pulled her inside, "My brother is here too. Come on, come on, there's no one else inside."

The door to the private room opened, and Lian Han's gaze swept over Ling Xin, paused for a moment on Qian Ya, and then landed on someone he should have never seen before.

"No outsiders?"

“Please sit down,” An He explained. “Ying Mo and your brother have a life-or-death bond, so they don’t count. There’s another one who’s their friend.”

Does this mean they don't know the identity of the Thousand Edge Ice Clan? Lian Han opened his mouth but didn't say anything, sitting down next to An He. "So what did you invite us here for? Don't try to fool me with this dinner party."
