Morian gestured for a stop and walked toward the door.
Lu Yan finally spoke his first words, whispering to Lu Mingming, "Don't show any fear later. Remember, you represent Xingluoqibu."
The bald man had told Lu Mingming these things before leaving, and she had kept them in mind for a long time.
"Yes, I know."
Lu Mingming gave a perfunctory reply, but kept a close eye on Morian's moving figure.
Upon seeing this, Lu Yan pursed his lips and looked at her with deep eyes.
"I'm sorry, we're late in coming to greet you."
Morian's voice was exactly the same as the one on the hologram, like that of an old friend. He smiled warmly and shook hands with both of them in a friendly manner.

"Hello, I am Morian, the director of this research institute. You must be the renowned Mr. Lu."
Morian's gaze naturally shifted from Lu Yan to the tense Lu Mingming.
"Who is this...?"
"I came here from all over the world to learn, and I hope to get along well with you in the future."
"I see."
Morian nodded, his expression softening, to indicate acceptance.
So far, there is no falsehood between the other party and the rumored Morian.
Lu Mingming felt relieved of her burden and a sense of guilt slowly arose in her heart.
It's a bit difficult to trick such a gentle person into revealing information.
She was lost in thought, while the two people next to her were having a normal conversation, speaking in formulaic language that Lu Mingming couldn't understand. Occasionally, a word or two would allow Lu Mingming to understand what they were talking about.

After their brief meeting, Lu Yan stood up straight, without saying another word to Lu Mingming, and turned to leave, as if the other party were nothing more than an unimportant pawn.
Morian smiled, the coldness in his eyes vanishing in an instant, and he smiled warmly at Lu Mingming.
"Miss Lu, please wait here for me. I'll have my student attend to you first."
Lu Mingming, feeling annoyed at being abandoned by Lu Yan, obediently waited without asking any further questions about Lu Yan.
A moment later, a young man wearing a lab coat who looked somewhat like Morian walked over. Lu Mingming immediately recognized him as the researcher who had been talking to Morian.
His name tag had two characters written on it: Bai Yi.
"This one is peach flavored, which is very popular with girls. It sells for 3400 Star Coins a piece on StarNet."
Bai Yi handed over a bottle of pink nutrient solution.
"Thanks."
Lu Mingming accepted it without ceremony, took a sip, and savored this treasure that was far too expensive for her.

A subtle peach flavor filled my mouth, and the taste was like peach-flavored soda. I could take it back for Hongyu…
Wait, what's soda?
Lu Mingming was stunned.
"Since you accepted the gift—"
Bai Yi chuckled and leaned closer, saying something that nearly shocked Lu Mingming to death.
"Aren't you my uncle's dream girl?"
Not content with just that, he added.
“Look at your naturally black hair and black eyes, which are completely different from ours. You must be from a relatively rare race. From childhood to adulthood, you are the only person I have ever seen with such features.”
He whispered the secret in Lu Mingming's ear.
"I went to my uncle's study and saw him drawing images of black hair and black eyes, although I never got to see that drawing, haha."

Bai Yi was completely unaware that she had inadvertently revealed something strange.
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingming immediately covered his mouth and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense. I have no relation to Dean Morian whatsoever."
When she first met Morian, there was no question of him being her dream lover!
"Sigh, this is boring."
Bai Yi insisted on speaking even with her mouth covered.
“I’m hoping my sister-in-law can take care of my brother-in-law. He’s been staying at the research institute for years, and the previous outbreak of his genetic disease hasn’t been alleviated.”
It turns out that Morian has a genetic disease.
Having inadvertently received important information, Lu Mingming connected it with Morian's normal behavior and couldn't see anything wrong with him.
"Yes, he ran away from home for three days, and I don't know which extraordinary person he found to solve his problem. Now he's back to being the beloved Dean Mori, my greatest uncle—"
Bai Yi's loud voice attracted the attention of researchers outside the research room.

Lu Mingming forced a smile, not understanding how Bai Yi, such a lively character, could be allowed into the research institute.
At this age, shouldn't they be watching streamers and blindly spending money on virtual gifts like those top spenders? Who would willingly choose to do research in a research institute?!
"You two seem to be having a good chat."
Morian's voice came from behind Lu Mingming.
The other party, unfazed, walked to the side and put down the documents.
"Baiyi has a childlike nature, so you need to be more tolerant of him. You'll have more time to spend with him in the future."
"Haha, it's okay. Being with lively kids makes me feel several years younger."
Lu Mingming gave a forced smile, pressing his palm even tighter over Bai Yi's mouth, determined not to let that brat say anything bad in front of Morian.
Although he stopped the other person from speaking with his hand, Bai Yi's eyes continued to dart back and forth between his uncle and Lu Mingming, revealing a strange smile that seemed to indicate that the couple had finally become a real couple.
"Let him go."
