Baobao and the others were introduced by Li Lin to Piltover University to study as "noble students".
Before, the Gilaman couple was kidnapped by Kayinna Weixinze. Li Lin, Caitlin and Jayce went to Zaun to investigate and rescued Vandel. At that time, Caitlin got to know Baobao and the other children.
Later, Ike joined the Gilaman family to further his studies, and the children often came to visit. Caitlin and Kasa were already familiar with them.
Seraphine and Orianna also met these children of almost the same age through Caitlyn's introduction.
They are kind-hearted and have no prejudice against Zaan, and they quickly became good friends with Baobao and the others.
Especially when Kaisa, Seraphine and Orianna held a charity performance at Unknown Square some time ago, these children attended.
Caitlin called the waiter, ordered drinks, and sat next to Li Lin. The other children started chattering and talking about the interesting things that had happened recently.
Sometimes, Li Lin actually wanted to join them and enjoy this rare time of relaxation.
After all, according to his current physical age, he is only about 4 years older than Kaisa, Orianna and Vi.
Compared to Bakugo, Seraphine, Zelie and Ekko, he is much older, about seven or eight years old.
Although he was about to graduate from college and become a corporate slave in his "previous life", at least in this world, he is only 20 years old this year.
only……
Even with a smile on his face, Caitlin could still see the sadness in the depths of Li Lin's eyes.
The smile on the corner of her cherry-red lips quickly faded, her pretty eyebrows frowned slightly, and her warm little hand gently stroked the back of Li Lin's hand and grasped half of his palm.
"Are you still worried about Belvis? Or are you too busy with the recent political events in Upper City?"
Caitlin asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
The melancholy light in Li Lin's eyes quickly dissipated, and he held Caitlin's hand instead. "No, it's just that I've been too busy recently and haven't had time to rest properly."
"You don't have to hide this from me. I know you're under a lot of pressure."
Caitlin's eyes flashed with worry, "The AI isn't omnipotent. Even with its assistance, some important decisions in the city still require your approval.
"I've been learning from Sheriff Grayson recently and will be able to take over her position as sheriff soon. I will be able to help you then."
"but……"
She glanced at Kai'Sa, who was talking to Seraphine about Kassadin, who had just returned to Belzuin two days ago.
As if noticing Caitlin's gaze, Kassa glanced over here and happened to meet her eyes.
But for some reason, Kassa pursed her lips and looked away, looking a little guilty.
She had often behaved like this during this period. Although Caitlin was puzzled, when she thought that they would have to face Belvis in only six months, she thought that she was acting like this because she felt that she had implicated them.
"The matter of Belvis..."
Caitlin hesitated. This was not the time to discuss such a heavy topic. Seraphine had already noticed the abnormality here, and it was only a matter of time before the other children discovered it.
"Don't you still believe me?" To avoid this topic, Li Lin deliberately leaned close to Caitlin's earlobe and blew a breath. "I'll go to your room tonight and talk to you about the philosophy of life, okay?"
Her little face suddenly turned slightly red. Li Lin had figured her out so well that he could always find the sensitive spots accurately.
Caitlin clenched her fist and punched him in the chest, then pushed the man with a smirk on his face away and glared at her.
"I'm warning you! Don't set a bad example in front of the children! Otherwise..."
"What else?"
Caitlin's cheeks turned redder, but the toughness in her eyes remained unchanged. "You should know the consequences!"
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."
Li Lin smiled and shook his head, looked at the watch transformed from the world rune fragment, and then turned his gaze to the window.
"It's almost time. The professor and the others are all here. I have to go meet them... Are you coming?"
"No." Caitlin raised an eyebrow. "Sheriff Grayson gave me a test, asking me to maintain order here. The view upstairs in this cafe is very open. I'm going to the top floor later."
She made a pistol gesture with her right hand, "fired a shot" at Li Lin, and then put her index finger to her lips and blew.
Li Lin stroked Caitlin's soft and smooth face with the back of his hand. "Okay, future sheriff, you have to protect me later."
Caitlin blinked her left eye in response and chuckled, "Of course. Protecting our Lord Chancellor is the duty of every law enforcement officer~~"
…
…
After saying goodbye to the children, Li Lin left the cafe through the main entrance and headed straight for the miniature rune land.
At this time, the crowd in the square had been dispersed by the law enforcers at the request of Heimerdinger, and the people in the buildings on both sides were secretly delighted that they had grabbed a good position in advance.
Heimerdinger, Jayce, Viktor, and Skye had just arrived here with Valentina, and were currently performing final adjustments on the machine with the help of relevant staff, assistants, and mechanical engineers.
Mel and the Gilaman couple were not present, but among the many airships in the sky, there was one with the Gilaman family crest printed on it.
Li Lin could guess what they were thinking.
They are not professional scientific researchers, so there is no point in staying at the scene, and it might even cause more trouble.
