It was late at night, and a silver full moon hung high in the sky, casting a translucent veil over the night sky filled with a thin haze over Piltover.
As the banquet at the Gilaman family ended, the guests from each family got on their own carriages and went home after being seen off by Gilaman and his wife and their servants.
At the gate of the yard, supported by Li Lin and Mel, Jace, who was a little drunk and mumbling something, also got into the carriage.
After saying hello to Li Lin, Caitlin, Victor and Skye, Mel got in the car and sat next to Jace, letting the driver drive away.
Afterwards, they chatted for a while at the gate of the yard.
Li Lin chatted with Victor about the progress of Zach's tissue cells and the glimmer potion, while Caitlin and Skye talked about topics between girls.
Because Viktor is best at mechanical engineering, just like Jayce.
Although he had done some research on alchemy technology before, it was limited to physics.
He didn't know much about chemistry and genetics, so his research on "gene enhancement" drugs came to a standstill.
Even with the support of a systematic study, there are not many books on this type of research in Piltover, which does not focus on the field of chemistry.
However, alchemical technology is too inhumane, and all experiments require a large number of human experiments to draw conclusions. Therefore, Li Lin doesn't know much about it and can't help much.
However, Victor said he had already thought of a solution, so Li Lin did not ask any more questions.
After a while, Heimerdinger and Lady Kalina came out of the house, chatting and laughing, and their conversation ended.
Tonight, Victor was specially selected by the dean of the college, and he and Skye will accompany him to attend Caitlin's coming-of-age ceremony.
"Professor Heimerdinger."
When Heimerdinger approached, Viktor opened the carriage door for him.
"Oh, oh, oh~ What a delightful banquet! Councillor Gilaman, thank you very much for your hospitality."
Heimerdinger held onto Viktor's staff and climbed onto the carriage with Skye's help.
Then he stuck out his big furry head, blew his white beard, and said to Kalina who had just followed him to the crowd.
"It's my pleasure, Senator Heimerdinger," Kalina responded with a polite smile.
Then Heimerdinger retracted his head and waved to Viktor and Skye under the car.
"Okay kids, it's getting late, let's get in the car and head back to the academy. We have more work to do tomorrow."
After the two said goodbye to Li Lin, Caitlyn and Kalina and got in the car, Heimerdinger suddenly thought of something and stuck his head out to look at Li Lin.
"Oh, kid! I almost forgot an important fact. Regarding the research on 'artificial intelligence' you mentioned earlier, after you provided the auxiliary chip, I seem to have some clues..."
Hearing this, Li Lin's eyes lit up.
"But there are still some minor issues... Come to the academy to see me tomorrow and we can discuss it."
"No problem, Professor Heimerdinger. I'll see you in your office tomorrow morning."
"Yes, sure." Heimerdinger retracted his head. "See you tomorrow, kid. Have a sweet dream tonight."
Sweet dreams...
I guess tonight will be a sleepless night.
Li Lin glanced at Mrs. Kalina, who was standing next to him with a smile on her face but no trace of a smile on her face. A bitter expression flashed across his face.
After watching the carriage carrying Heimerdinger leave, Kalina turned her head slightly to glance at Li Lin and Caitlin, and the smile on her face quickly disappeared.
Caitlin noticed her mother's unfriendly look and subconsciously shrank closer to Li Lin.
But this action made Kalina's vision even more dangerous.
The atmosphere in the air gradually fell into a very delicate situation.
After a moment, Mrs. Karina looked away, turned around and walked towards the reception hall in the side house.
There were still a few guests there who had not left and were being entertained by her husband, Elro.
As they walked away, Karina said to the two without turning back, "You two, wait for me in the main living room. We need to have a good chat."
There was no emotion in her voice, which made Caitlin feel uneasy.
"I, what should we do? Mom seems angry..."
She gently tugged at Li Lin's clothes, her expression slightly resentful as she said, "You're such a fool! Why did you do this at the dance? Now that mom knows, we're all in trouble."
Li Lin looked at the figure that had disappeared at the distant door, turned back to look at Caitlin, and said in a teasing tone:
"I don't see that our mother is angry. Maybe she agrees with us?"
“!?!”
After hearing Li Lin's words, Caitlin's expression turned into surprise, and she stared at the man in front of her with a dazed look.
"We, our mother? Our relationship hasn't been finalized yet! Who is your mother?"
When she came to her senses, her face flushed with shame and she pinched Li Lin's waist, causing him to grimace in pain.
What special attack skills do women have against men...
Li Lin quickly grabbed her hand and pushed her away a step. "Hiss, it hurts. I was just joking... You took my first kiss away. Aren't you going to take responsibility for me?"
Caitlin's eyes widened with a look of surprise, "It's obviously you..."
Before she finished speaking, her face turned dark and she wanted to attack Li Lin again.
"Oh, you're already abusing me before we even get married..."
Li Lin said in a sad and melancholy tone, and his funny look actually amused Caitlin.
