Chapter 853 Extra 19: Backing You Up, This is Our Lady Luo Lang

Zhen Ningzi's voice faltered.

Everyone in the class turned around.

They were all somewhat stunned when they saw the person at the door.

The boy was eighteen years old and 1.85 meters tall.

She has an upright posture and a perfect waistline.

He wore a simple white shirt, which made his skin appear as white as jade.

Because of his height, he lowered his head slightly as he scanned the classroom.

His Adam's apple and collarbone, as well as his long eyelashes, are clearly visible.

The students in the class were all certain that there was absolutely no such boy at Imperial University.

If so, even if it doesn't reach the level of causing a sensation throughout the school, there will definitely be students who take the classes he chooses just to see him.

With looks like that, I'll never forget her.

Zhen Ningzi works in the student council and has lists of students from both years.

She also frequently attends various cultural and artistic events, but indeed, she has never seen a guy with such outstanding looks, figure, and temperament.

Could it be a student from the preparatory class of Imperial University?

Zhen Ningzi was somewhat tempted.

She stood up and walked over: "Hello, junior, do you need any help? I'm Zhen Ningzi, the vice president of the student council."

Shao Ying didn't look at her; she slightly turned her body to the side, avoiding her outstretched hand.

He looked up: "Ji Li?"

"..."

It was quiet all around.

Zhen Ningzi stood there, feeling all the blood rush to her head and her head momentarily congested with blood.

She has always been concerned about her image and enjoys the admiring gazes of boys.

Unexpectedly, when she took the initiative to show her affection, he acted as if he didn't see her at all.

Especially in front of Ji Li.

What is this if not humiliation?

"Here." Ji Li finally realized what was happening. She raised her hand, puzzled. "Who are you, classmate?"

Shao Ying only attended Ying Zijin and Fu Yunshen's wedding in Shanghai and has not appeared online.

Ji Li has not been to Shanghai for the past few months due to her studies.

The two just missed each other, and this is their first meeting so far.

"I am Shaoying." Shaoying nodded slightly. "My aunt asked me to deliver something to you."

Ji Li was also taken aback: "Your aunt?"

"My aunt asked me to ask you if you'd be willing to participate in Professor Herwin's space carrier experiment." Shao Ying took out an invitation and handed it over.

The invitation was small, with a luxurious yet understated design.

There are two signatures on it.

It's gold-plated, clear and eye-catching.

One is Sinai, and the other is Hervin.

Several red official seals were stamped next to the name.

Sinai's name is not widely known across the seven continents and four oceans, but Herwin was undoubtedly a leading figure in the field of scientific research.

Especially recently, Imperial University sent a lot of computer science and mechanical engineering students to G country, and the students at Imperial University are all discussing spaceships.

Zhen Ningzi came here today on purpose to mock Ji Li.

"..."

The classroom became even quieter.

The students all suspected that there was something wrong with their ears.

Zhen Ningzi's eyes widened as she stared intently at the English word "Hervin," utterly incredulous.

Did Herwin invite Ji Li to the experimental base?

Even some professors don't have this qualification.

Ji Li actually managed to get Herwin to personally sign and send out an invitation?

Ji Li was also stunned: "For me?"

She knew that Ying Zijing was the lead researcher for this project.

But before the invention of space carriers, it was kept secret from the outside world.

Getting an invitation is indeed not difficult.

“Let’s formally introduce ourselves.” Shao Ying extended her hand. “Shao Ying, Leinger. Ying Zijing is my cousin. Hello, you are her cousin. If you don’t mind, I can call you sister.”

Ji Li's expression turned serious. She extended her hand and shook hands with him, saying, "Hello, it's nothing. There's no need for such trouble. Just call me Ji Li."

It turns out that he was Ying Zijing's brother from her biological family.

However, she doesn't look like Ying Zijin at all; instead, she resembles Fu Yunshen somewhat.

Could it be that in the world's city, there's a custom of treating the brother-in-law like a son-in-law?

Ji Li's thoughts drifted far away.

“If Miss Ji is willing, the plane is waiting outside,” Shao Ying said again. “We can depart now.”

Ji Li snapped back to reality, momentarily stunned: "So rushed?"

She really wanted to go, but paused for a moment before saying, "I haven't packed my things yet."

“You can buy any daily necessities. There’s a commercial street in G country that Venus Group developed. My sister gave me an SVIP card.” Shao Ying leaned on the door frame and turned around. “You just need your phone and ID card.”

To prevent Ying Zijing from being bored during her future experiments, the Venus Group spent a fortune to buy an entire street and transform it into the most prosperous area in G country.

Ji Li: "..."

Too.

Ji Yihang and his wife were both busy. She was a boarding student and all her belongings were at the school.

“Okay.” After weighing the pros and cons, Ji Li agreed. “I’ll go back to my dorm and say hello to the professor.”

While engaging in practical activities, she also made sure her studies didn't suffer.

Shao Ying said calmly, "No need, I've already spoken to the professor, let's go directly."

Ji Li: "..."

She felt like she had been tricked.

Ji Li picked up the invitation, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and went out: "You've come at a good time. They were just discussing this matter."

"Unfortunately." Shao Ying glanced at her watch, her eyelashes drooping slightly, and said calmly, "Let's go."

Ji Li was taken aback: "Huh?"

Completely confused, she followed the boy away.

The classmates were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

After a while, whispers and discussions began to circulate in the classroom.

"So Ji Li is Ying Shen's cousin?!"

"She's never mentioned it before, isn't that incredibly low-key..."

"Since we're all family, our genes must be pretty good. Sigh, why didn't I get along better with Ji Li?"

"Speaking of which, why does Zhen Ningzi keep coming to our class? She's not even one of our students."

Everyone's attention was focused on Ji Li, and no one cared about Zhen Ningzi anymore.

Zhen Ningzi blushed with embarrassment, feeling awkward and embarrassed.

She couldn't stay a second longer, so she picked up her books and slunk away.

**

The cabin air conditioning was at a comfortable temperature, and the seats were soft and comfortable.

After finishing her meal, Ji Li looked out the window at the rolling clouds.

She fell into a deep sleep within minutes.

Shao Ying took out a blanket and covered her with it.

She got up and went to answer the phone, her voice steady: "Auntie."

"Have you received them?" Sinai asked. "I've applied for assistant researcher positions for you. Whether you can be promoted to full researchers depends on the corresponding assessments."

"Of course."

“Speaking of which, shouldn’t you find a girlfriend?” Sinai said while flipping through the documents. “My sister told me the other day that she regrets not being able to watch you grow up, and that she will help you take care of your children in the future.”

Shao Ying paused for a second, then said calmly, "Auntie, you didn't either. Elders should set an example in this matter."

"..."

Sinai, who is usually eloquent, was outmaneuvered on this issue.

She hung up the phone.

"Teacher!" Charlotte poked her head in, delighted. "Professor Herwin is back from his assessment. He'd like to invite you up for a cup of coffee."

Sinai stood up: "Okay, I'll go up now."

Ten minutes later, in Herwin's office.

He was sitting in front of the computer. Upon hearing the voice, he immediately stood up and said, "Ms. Sinai, it's an honor to meet you."

“Professor.” Sinai shook hands with Herwin. “I’ve heard A-Ying mention you often. Today I’m finally able to meet you in person.”

“I’ve heard Norman mention you a lot,” Herwin laughed. “You’re really amazing; you were able to develop so many technological products ten years ago.”

As he spoke, he suddenly sighed, "Speaking of which, I once met a very talented little girl who looked just like you. But this little girl really broke my heart. She actually said she didn't like physics."

Sinai: "..."

She just doesn't like physics.

Back then, she was losing clumps of hair.

They could be tied up and made into a broom.

Fortunately, she has strong genes, unlike Dean Norman who is bald.

“Welcome to our experiment, Professor Sinai.” Herwin straightened his expression. “With you joining us, the probability of our experiment succeeding has increased by another ten percent.”

He is confident that he can develop a space carrier within five years.

“Professor, you flatter me.” Sinai nodded. “I will do my best.”

“These are images I collected from several observatories.” Herwin handed over a document. “Miss Sinai, please take this.”

Sinai took the documents and left, returning to the underground.

She instinctively took out her phone.

That profile picture hasn't been changed for two days.

Sinai darkened the screen.

What is he doing?

**

night.

Fifth Month lay on the velvet bed, video chatting with Fifth Flower, her voice soft: "Second Sister."

"Yueyue, why didn't you come home for your birthday?" Fifth Flower scolded. "Did you have too much fun outside? Grandpa even asked me where you went."

"I...I'm out earning money." Fifth Month said a little guiltyly. "Oh, Second Sister, it's just a birthday, not a coming-of-age ceremony or your birth year. There's no need to make such a big deal out of it."

"Okay, as long as you understand." Fifth Flower didn't ask any further questions. "Take good care of yourself while you're out there, okay?"

"Okay, okay."

After gathering intelligence, Fifth Flower reported to Fifth River.

"This child," Fifth Chuan sighed, "is really obsessed with money."

Fifth Flower said, "Grandpa, it's a good thing that Yueyue is ambitious."

“That’s true, Xiaohua. You’re five years older than Yueyue and have more experience.” Fifth Chuan stroked his beard. “Yueyue is at the age where she’s just starting to fall in love. Keep an eye on any men around her and make sure she’s not deceived.”

Fifth Flower replied solemnly, "Definitely."

In reality, it's a completely different story.

In May, the only man she was with was Caesar Laurent.

If the two of them really showed signs of that, she would not only not keep an eye on them, but she would also keep watch on them.

At Laurent Castle.

Fifth Month was also reminded by Fifth Flower that tomorrow is her nineteenth birthday.

She rested her chin on her hand and hummed.

He calls himself her boyfriend, but he doesn't even know her birthday.

He's unqualified; she wants to fire him.

While scorning Xize, Wu Yue opened her iPad to watch the TV series Jiang Yixin had just filmed.

As I watched, the clock ticked down to 11:57 p.m.

At that moment, a knock sounded on the door.

“Miss Yue,” Job said respectfully, “does your master invite you to the garden?”

"What is he up to so late at night?" Reluctantly, Wu Yue turned off Grape Video and had no choice but to leave.

No permission was granted for the innermost part of the castle, nor were direct descendants allowed to enter.

In the garden, only young people were sitting on the benches.

In May, she ran over and asked, "What are you doing?"

Xize didn't answer, but instead looked up and said, "Wait a minute."

In May, she was even more confused: "Huh?"

Three, two, one... The clock struck twelve precisely on time.

"Happy birthday." Xize lowered his head. "Am I the first one?"

May was stunned: "You..."

Does he know her birthday?

She was so engrossed in watching the show that she forgot about it.

Before she could react, Caesar raised his hand and gestured to Job: "Birthday present."

Job tore off a piece of green cloth from the side.

It was only in May that she noticed a dozen or so boxes piled up next to her.

"So much?" Fifth Month pretended not to be moved at all. "Excuse me, sir, could you please not be so extravagant?"

Having money is not a reason to squander it.

Xize flicked his collar: "I'm used to it."

"..."

In May, she stepped forward and opened the first box.

Inside is a jade longevity lock.

A longevity lock as a birthday gift for a 19th birthday?

Wu Yue was stunned for a moment.

She took out the longevity lock and then saw a small card underneath it.

The small card had a photo of her when she was a full moon baby.

Below is a line of text—

Happy one-month birthday to little Yueyue!

Wu Yue was stunned and couldn't come to her senses.

"Put it on." Xize took the longevity lock from her hand, his voice indifferent. "I asked the boss, and this jade can ward off at least three disasters."

"Your job requires you to be out and about. If I'm ever away, it can protect you."

Her eyes stung with tears in May, and she obediently lowered her head, saying, "Oh."

"Alright." He put his hand down. "There's more."

The demolition continued in the fifth month.

Each box contains a gift and a small card.

—Congratulations to three-year-old Yueyue for running all over the yard being pecked by geese.

May: "..."

She withdrew her emotions.

—Congratulations to Yueyue on joining the Hidden Alliance at the age of fifteen.

Even though I missed your eighteenth birthday, I'll still be here for the next few years.

Four years old, five years old... seventeen years old, eighteen years old, and this year, nineteen years old.

He not only prepared a birthday gift for her, but also a gift for every year of her past.

In May, looking at the mountain of gifts, there were cars, property deeds, and medicinal herbs that were priceless and unavailable.

She remained silent for a long time, her voice choked with sobs: "Why are you so good to me?"

"Why are you crying again?" Xize said helplessly. "It seems I shouldn't call you a third-class cripple, I should call you a little crybaby."

He paused for a moment: "Besides, if I'm not good to you, who am I good to?"

Looking at the photos of herself from a crawling child to a graceful young woman in May, she wiped away her tears and looked depressed: "Was I sold out by my second sister?"

Especially the picture of her being chased by geese and pecking at her bottom until she cried out in pain.

Only the fifth flower would take this kind of photo.

“How can this be considered selling?” Xize reached out and pinched her cheek. “This is called an equal exchange.”

"Waaah, stop rubbing my face!" Fifth Month protested, her voice strained. "You mean, you bully!"

Her face was distorted from being rubbed.

"How would you say that?" Xize pondered for a few seconds, "So nice to pet."

As he spoke, he pinched the little girl's cheek again, looking quite satisfied.

Great, he won't need to keep any other round-haired pets anymore.

Just pinch her.

May: "..."

As a pure-blooded Florentine, Caesar speaks Chinese far too fluently.

She was afraid that if they argued in the future, she wouldn't be able to win against him even in her native language.

**

I watched the show until 4 a.m. and didn't wake up until 2 p.m. in May.

As soon as I woke up, I was forced to stand in front of the makeup mirror by the stylist that Xize had hired, and was tossed and turned for three hours.

In May, her face felt numb.

"Please wait a moment, Madam," the makeup artist said. "At seven o'clock, the gentleman will invite you to the party."

"Oh, oh." Fifth Month was so engrossed in the TV drama that she didn't notice the inappropriate way she was addressed.

At this moment, in the banquet hall.

The guests filed in.

Both Luo Ziqiu and his father were a little nervous, as it was their first time in such an occasion.

The Westerners around them, in particular, looked at them with astonishment.

Mr. Luo straightened his back as he tried to stand up straight: "Ziqiu, you must seize the opportunity later."

Everyone knows that those invited by the Loren family are all nobles with names and titles.

Luo Ziqiu's palms were also sweating.

Until he was stopped by a young man who looked like a butler.

Job scrutinized him for a moment, then smiled: "Mr. Luo Ziqiu, right?"

Luo Ziqiu straightened his back: "Yes."

"Please come this way with me." Job nodded.

Before Luo Ziqiu could react, his father excitedly pushed him, "Ziqiu, go! To the Luo Lang family!"

Luo Ziqiu then noticed the Loren family crest on Job's clothes.

He straightened his clothes and hurriedly followed, all the way to the heart of the castle.

Finally, it stopped in front of a building.

Job pushed open the door: "Our lady would like to see Young Master Luo."

Luo Ziqiu was taken aback: "Madam?"

Nishizawa got married, but why hasn't anyone heard about it?

May, who also heard this, was stunned: "Huh?"

When did she become a lady?

She's clearly a lovely 19-year-old girl in the prime of her youth!

Wu Yue looked up and her eyes met Luo Ziqiu's.

Just a few votes short of advancing one spot! Let's give Ying Huang two monthly votes to cheer him on! Only one month left!

Watching the Olympics recently reminded me of a few years ago when my college sophomore year physical education teacher was the Asian record holder for the women's 100m and 200m, a record set in 1997 that hasn't been broken yet.

Looking back, I'm so glad I chose her class. Such a talented athlete taught me PE (lights a cigarette).

It is truly a noble and admirable profession.
