Chapter 858 Extra 24: Arresting Norton at His Date

She still had that striking short silver hair.

The two small black diamond studs on her right ear gleamed slightly.

The sunlight outside was just right, neither too bright nor too glaring.

The liquid fell on him, as if he were tinged with a faint golden glow.

Like the sun god, slowly driving his chariot towards us.

Once again, it barged into her peaceful and uneventful life with a forceful and abrupt manner.

He was handsome with deep-set features.

Those dark green eyes held the weight of centuries of history, possessing a powerful and deadly mature charm.

Sinai had been wondering why Norton, such an old-fashioned guy, would dress in this punk rock style.

But it must be admitted that this outfit made him even more dashing.

“Mr. Francis, this is Miss Sinai Lyinger.” Mrs. Charlie said warmly, “Miss Sinai may be a bit cold, but she is a very nice person. You two will get to know each other and become familiar with each other.”

“No need,” Norton said. “We know each other.”

"You know him?" Mrs. Charlie was taken aback. "Then—"

"We can discuss the rent ourselves," Norton smiled. "Thank you for your help."

Mrs. Charlie was also a little confused, but she nodded nonetheless: "Oh, okay, then you two talk."

She took two steps, as if she had realized something, and turned to give Sinai a knowing look.

Sinai: "?"

Did she agree?

“Go inside.” Norton patted her head casually. “It’s too sunny outside.”

Sinai was still somewhat stunned and subconsciously took a step back.

"Bang!"

The door was then closed.

The man's hand was pressed against the door.

She ended up squeezed between him and the door.

The space is extremely cramped and small

Even though the air conditioner was on in the living room, she felt the temperature gradually rising.

Sinai: "..."

etc.

What's going on with this position?

“The child is still the same as always.” Norton flicked her forehead with his finger. “Just getting taller.”

He lowered his hand.

Sinai finally left, and after a long while, she asked the most crucial question: "How did you become a tenant? And why are you in my house?"

"Why are you so nervous?" Norton crossed his arms. "You've been living at my house for half a year. I don't have my own place right now, so I'm staying here for a while. Is there a problem?"

Sinai: "..."

She really couldn't believe that someone who owned the chariot of the world's number one university would be so poor that he didn't have a house to live in.

"Need money?" Norton waved the taxi ad on his phone. "Didn't I already transfer some money to you?"

He had Norton University transfer the money through the university's treasury.

Unless the vice principal embezzled the money.

Norton's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had already made up his mind.

The vice president of Norton University, far away, suddenly sneezed.

“I don’t need it.” Sinai yawned. “Yeah, it’s to earn money for Qianyu and Changle’s baby formula.”

"Qianyu, Changle?" Norton paused upon hearing these two names. "Baby formula money?"

He turned his head and looked her up and down, his tone calm and revealing nothing of his emotions: "Married? Why are you the one earning the money for baby formula, and where's the man?"

"Cough cough cough!" Sinai choked. "You didn't even know that A-Ying gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl?"

“Hmm, I don’t know.” Norton was quite surprised. He raised his eyebrows. “I came here first after leaving the world of alchemy.”

He said lazily, "Look, kid, don't I love you?"

He spoke casually, as if nothing had changed from before.

He often teased her like this when she was still a six-year-old child in her body.

But now, it gives her a kind of illusion.

One of the three great illusions of life.

You thought he liked you.

Sinai could only say, "Yes, yes, I love you the most too."

"You don't usually live here?" Norton glanced at the empty villa. "So you're renting it out? Where will you live then?"

“The experimental base,” Sinai said. “There are dedicated apartments over there.”

Norton nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

He raised his chin: "Then you wouldn't mind if I turned one of the rooms into a laboratory?"

“I don’t mind.” Sinai took a sip of water. “As long as you don’t blow up the house.”

"You're really good at blowing up houses."

"..."

Sinai felt that there was always someone in this world who would make her unable to suppress the primal power within her.

How could she possibly fall for someone with such a sharp tongue?

She clearly prefers the gentle type.

Is it just about looks?

She can't be that vulgar and superficial, can she?

Sinai went upstairs to get the spare key.

When he came down, Norton was still leaning against the sofa.

His eyes were slightly closed, as if he were resting.

From this angle, you can see his chin, Adam's apple, and collarbone.

His eyelashes were also fine and long, but his eyebrows and eyes were sharp.

Sinai looked at it for three seconds and then gave up.

All right.

She's still quite vulgar and superficial.

"Here are the keys." Sinai handed over the keys. "I have the keys to the main gate and all the rooms."

"Hmm." Norton opened his eyes, took the item, and played with it for a moment. "I came in a hurry and didn't have any clean clothes. I don't see any toiletries in this villa either. I'll go to the supermarket."

"There's a delivery number; you can call to order."

"Self-reliance leads to abundance."

Sinai "..."

Why don't you start by sowing seeds?

That would be a bother for her.

**

In the end, Sinai agreed.

Indeed, in this world, besides her family and Dean Norman, Norton was the third person who was truly close to her.

He did indeed take care of her for about half a year and even developed an antidote to help her recover.

Although they live in a small town, it has become one of the most prestigious areas in G country because Venus Group developed a new commercial street there.

The residents of the town were very grateful to Fu Yunshen and Ying Zijin.

This place was originally very underdeveloped, with no tourist attractions and a consistently sluggish economy.

The Venus Group's presence here has boosted the local economy.

The lives of the town's residents have also improved.

Sinai took Norton to the central business building.

The supermarket occupies a huge area and is located on the basement floor of the central shopping mall.

I started with the men's clothing and daily necessities sections, and soon my shopping cart was full of items.

Norton, however, showed no intention of leaving and instead went to the deli section.

"You're buying groceries?" Sinai looked at the ribs, potatoes, and other vegetables in the shopping cart. "I can't cook these myself, I don't know how to cook."

She's a kitchen killer, the kind who blows up kitchens.

“I know.” Norton picked up another bottle of cooking wine and a box of salt, his tone indifferent. “I didn’t ask you to do it.”

Sinai gave a curt "oh," showing little interest.

The two finished shopping, and it was almost 11:30.

Sinai glanced at the time: "It's noon, let me treat you to lunch."

Norton: "Okay."

The shopping mall has seventeen floors in total, with the floors above the fourteenth floor all being restaurants.

“There’s a Chinese restaurant on the sixteenth floor.” Sinai started ordering. “The chef is from A-Ying’s side. I like their Mapo Tofu.”

Norton tilted his head slightly.

When the topic of food came up, she became noticeably more talkative, and her expression became much more lively.

“It seems you eat here often.” Norton looked her up and down. “You’ve gained weight.”

Sinai couldn't hold back this time and threw a bag of bread at his face: "Shut up."

Everyone said she had lost weight.

“She’s grown up, but her temper is still as strong as ever.” Norton easily caught the bag of bread, then habitually lifted her up with one hand and placed her in the child seat that came with the shopping cart.

They were so close to Sinai that they didn't even have time to react.

Both of them are extremely good-looking, and they attracted a lot of attention when they entered the supermarket.

Some people even watched it the whole time.

Next, the other customers watched as the tall man shoved the 1.7-meter-tall Sinai into the child seat.

"..."

The supermarket was quite quiet.

Sinai also felt that her heartbeat was very calm.

I have an urge to die.

She reminded him expressionlessly, "My dear Lord Chariot, I am twenty-seven years old this year, not six."

“Oh, I forgot.” Norton paused for a moment, then said lazily, “I’m used to it. You don’t weigh much anyway.”

He put her down again and pushed the cart to the cashier with his other hand.

Sinai, however, truly experienced what social death is like.

If she really only had the body of a six-year-old child, she could have used her cuteness to get by.

After all, what does six-year-old Sinai have to do with twenty-seven-year-old Sinai?

Fortunately, there was no one she knew around.

She rubbed her face and followed.

I heard people whispering.

"That gentleman really dotes on his girlfriend like a daughter. I'm so envious."

"But his girlfriend is really beautiful. If I had a girlfriend like that, I would pluck the stars from the sky for her."

What kind of girlfriend?

Sinai glanced at the man who had bought another Winnie the Pooh apron.

In his eyes, she was still just a child.

**

After handing the purchased goods to the supermarket deliveryman, the two went upstairs.

A coffee shop near the elevator.

Next to a table by the window.

The two women sat opposite each other, chatting happily.

One of the women glanced out the window casually, and her gaze suddenly froze.

She hesitated for a moment: "Selly, isn't that Sinai? Look."

The woman named Sally looked up and frowned. "It should be her."

Sinai's appearance was too outstanding.

In particular, her naturally long platinum blonde hair is extremely rare even among Westerners.

Her features are also different from those of a typical Westerner, but she is extremely beautiful.

Many people in the base were speculating about Sinai's lineage, whether he was Germanic or Celtic, but neither seemed quite right.

The origins of Sinai remain a mystery at the base.

But ever since she completed an A-level experiment, no one on the underground floors has dared to look down on her anymore.

However, Sally still didn't take it to heart.

Sometimes, what people value most is their family background.

Without connections, it's impossible to survive in this materialistic society.

“The man next to her…” the woman exclaimed, “I’ve never seen anyone more handsome than him. None of the high-society gentlemen you know can compare to him.”

Sally naturally noticed Norton as well, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes: "He is quite handsome."

Soon, only the man's back was visible.

Aloof and cold.

It was like a cold, sharp blade.

The momentum was too strong.

Sally didn't dare look again.

"But I heard she just accepted Alfonso's invitation to a date yesterday," the woman said casually. "Is she two-timing?"

"Tsk tsk, she usually seems unapproachable, but she's quite promiscuous in private. If her suitors knew, would they still pursue her?"

Sally remained silent.

The woman got bored and stopped talking, simply sipping her coffee slowly.

**

I was busy until the afternoon, and the rental matter was finally settled.

"I'm going back to the experimental base," Sinai said casually before leaving immediately.

Norton raised an eyebrow, watching her quickly disappear into the distance.

Sinai returned to base as quickly as possible.

Sitting at her desk, she finally caught her breath.

Life is truly unpredictable.

Ironically, just when she decided to forget him, he returned right on time.

She still knew nothing about him.

He knew him inside and out.

Sinai was holding a water glass.

If he had figured out what she was thinking, would he still be so close to her?

Charlotte walked in, put down the file, and said, "Hey, Professor Sinai, the sun has risen in the west! You don't know, our principal is actually coming back to teach! Next semester, the alchemy department will have several classes taught by the principal himself."

For some reason, Sinai breathed a slight sigh of relief: "That's good."

It seems he's only staying in Country G for a short time and will be leaving soon.

Then she went to try dating other people.

Given enough time, everything can be forgotten.

Charlotte keenly noticed her slightly unnatural tone and blinked. "Ms. Sinai, what's wrong? Do you know our principal?"

“No.” Sinai shook her head. “I mean, your principal is back and preparing to teach again, which means he must have become much more skilled in the field of alchemy, which is a good thing for the students.”

“That’s true.” Charlotte didn’t ask any more questions, nodded, and sighed again. “It’s just a pity that learning alchemy requires talent, and I don’t have the chance.”

Sinai lowered her head and began typing, but her thoughts were still wandering.

His talent is indeed remarkable.

Although he doesn't have the special ability of alchemy like a sage or magician, he has mastered powerful alchemy.

**

The next day.

Sinai kept his promise to meet Alfonso.

The concert was on the commercial street, close to the town, so she started from the villa.

“I’m going out to meet up with some colleagues,” Sinai said. “If you run out of water or electricity, just ask Mrs. Charlie.”

She decided to reduce the number of times she had contact with him.

Norton glanced briefly out the window, then looked away, saying lazily, "Remember to come back early."

Sinai didn't say anything and went out the door.

She kicked a small pebble at her feet, her face expressionless.

She's not a six-year-old child anymore.

In a few years, she will be thirty years old.

She had quite a few laser weapons on her, and they were still staring at her like that.

Old shameless scoundrel.

Alfonso turned his head and caught a figure behind the curtains: "Miss Sinai, do we have guests?"

“No,” Sinai said coldly. “It’s my dog.”

"..."

Alfonso first invited Sinai to a high-end French restaurant.

We went to the concert venue after finishing our meal.

"Miss Sinai, where are you from?" he asked. "Judging from your manner of speaking and your attire, you don't seem to be from O Continent."

He had indeed never heard of the Lengel family.

“It’s a small place,” Sinai said, not wanting to elaborate. “There’s not much to say.”

She listened to the piano music, but unfortunately she had no musical talent whatsoever, and her tastes were quite different from those of other socialites.

Alfonso came from a prestigious family in Europe and ultimately chose the path of scientific research.

He listened with great interest.

Time flew by, and the three-hour concert soon came to an end.

Sinai stretched and realized she had taken a nap.

very good.

She can work all night tonight.

Alfonso glanced at his phone: "Miss Sinai, Miss Selby and the others are at the karaoke bar next door. Do you want to come along?"

"I can't go, I'm tone-deaf," Sinai declined. "I'm going back to the experimental base."

"Alright then," Alfonso said with some regret. "I'll go back too, and drive you there."

The two walked outside.

As Sinai stepped out of the concert hall, a familiar figure came into view.

She paused, momentarily stunned.

Why is Norton here?

Besides, how did he know she would come out from that opening?

Norton stubbed out the cigarette he hadn't even smoked, turned his head, and said in a calm voice, "Look at the time, it's nine o'clock."

Alfonso's guard immediately went up when he saw the tall, imposing man.

He had indeed been pursuing Sinai for about half a year and knew that she was very popular with men in the base, and that several women had even confessed their feelings to her.

But he had never seen any other men around her.

This is also why he persevered.

Alfonso became even more wary: "Miss Sinai, and who is this?"

Norton glanced over, his expression indifferent.

It's just like an old father coming to catch his runaway daughter.

In her haste, Sinai almost instinctively blurted out, "Dad."

Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet.

I'm begging for Zhang Tiantian's monthly votes! My Q-reading ranking has dropped to tenth. It seems I'm not reading the extra chapters much anymore; my motivation has suddenly plummeted. _(:з」∠)_

That's right. Norton currently treats Sinai like a child, just like he did with Brother Fu back then. He has no other feelings for her. After all, he has lived for centuries. Whether she is six years old, twenty-six years old, or even two hundred and sixty years old, she is still a child.

(This is a story of a wife-chasing tragedy plus mutual unrequited love in the later stages.)

I also quite enjoy teasing three- or four-year-old children, regardless of gender, as long as they're cute!
