As soon as Pei Ji appeared, the students could no longer sit still and began to talk in low voices.
"Wow, that's the young lord."
“He’s so handsome!”
"He's still very rich now!"
"He knows that student. Isn't that student from our School of Life Sciences?"
…
"So, you've been suspended too?" Pei Ji looked at Luo Yuan.
Although I already knew that he looked young, I didn't expect that once he took off his military uniform, he looked like... a minor.
"Yes!" Luo Yuan called up the suspension order. "I received a message before I even returned to the main ship saying I was absent from duty during an inspection and was suspended for three months. So you were also suspended! It seems our five-person team is completely wiped out."
His eyes turned cold, "Which bastard betrayed us?"
"If I knew about this, I would definitely throw him to Jiluo Star to feed the deep-sea worms!"
Pei Ji lifted his collar and said, "You look like a worm to me!"
There was a horrified gasp from the side.
Glancing at the students looking at them, and considering the reputation of the Fourth Fleet, Pei Ji cleared his throat and put the innocent-looking Luo Yuan back.
"What are you doing here?"
Luo Yuan glanced at Charles and blinked, "Come and have dinner with Dr. Li."
"Eat?" Pei Ji was stunned.
Even Charles was a little confused.
"Yeah." Luo Yuan raised his little face, "At the last banquet, before I left, I asked Dr. Li if we could have dinner together later. He said yes. Well, I'm free now."
He suddenly drooped his eyes, "What's wrong? Teacher, you haven't forgotten, have you?"
Luo Yuan was born with a pair of innocent and bright eyes. When they drooped, it was like dark clouds covering the sun, which made people feel very sorry.
Charles felt an inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart and carefully recalled the scene of his meeting with Luo Yuan.
It seems... that this really happened.
But at that time he thought Luo Yuan was just casually greeting.
Also, why do we call him teacher?
Looking at the lost face, Charles pondered for a moment, then nodded responsibly: "That's right."
Luo Yuan's drooping eyes raised again, and the dazzling sunlight penetrated the clouds and fell warmly on Charles.
"How about today?"
Charles looked at Pei Ji, then at the hungry students in the room.
Pei Ji retreated tactically: "I don't plan to have dinner with you. I'm going to my mother's place tonight. By the way, do you have any sweet food to fill Shen Que's stomach first?"
Shen Que knew that blood drawing required fasting, and he hadn't eaten much since morning.
Charles: "He doesn't have a sweet tooth. It's bad for his digestion. There are sandwiches in the kitchen in the backyard."
Pei Ji: "Okay..."
After watching Pei Ji leave, Charles looked at the student again.
The students, who were happily enjoying their melons, stood up straight immediately. "Teacher Li, we'll just take up a moment of your time! We won't delay your date!"
Then they gathered together and whispered:
"Wow, I didn't expect that Mr. Li, who is so serious, actually likes minors."
"But this is illegal, right?"
"What do you know? This is called cultivation!"
"But Mr. Li has no family at his age. I used to think he was asexual."
"Be quiet, don't let the teacher hear..."
I heard it.
Charles's tense face was about to collapse.
But as an older and more educated Alpha, he was always tolerant towards younger students. He just scolded them a few words and asked them to prepare the materials for the report and go over the topic later.
The students nodded repeatedly.
Charles invited Luo Yuan to the lounge next door.
"So, teacher, do you agree?" Luo Yuan put his hands behind his back and looked at him innocently, "You don't have any appointments tonight, right?"
Looking at the pair of clear puppy eyes, Charles sighed softly.
"Can."
Luo Yuan: "Great! Let's go drink!"
Charles: "No drinking for minors!"
Luo Yuan: “…Ah?”
…
At night in the Jiaoyue Palace, the breeze sways the shadows of the trees, leaving behind deep outlines.
In the pond of Zhileyuan, night lilies are blooming.
The blue petals are covered with a layer of silver gauze, presenting a dreamy tranquility and beauty.
"The night lotus plant only blooms when there is moonlight. Wild night lotus blooms for only one month each year, but artificial cultivation can extend the flowering period to three months."
Ai Fan was wearing a dignified white long dress and holding a long-handled fertilizer applicator, dripping plant nutrients into the heart of the night lily.
"But you need to use a special nutrient solution."
"Is this a special nutrient solution that imitates the environment of the Earth?" Chen Que took the fertilizer applicator from Ai Fan, stepped onto the stepping stone with his long legs, and dripped fertilizer on the night lilies that were farther away.
"It seems you've read the book I gave you carefully." Ai Fan raised the corner of his mouth and looked at his back. "Leave the rest to Annie."
"I've read part of it." Shen Que handed the fertilizer dispenser to the little maid and returned to Ai Fan. "I've been busy lately. I'll finish reading it later."
Anya and Annie continued to fertilize the night lilies.
"This isn't a necessary task." Ai Fan folded his hands together and looked at Chen Que gently. "It's just a spice of life. Don't put so much pressure on yourself."
Shen Que raised his head and met Ai Fan's gaze.
The face of the lord's wife of Baisha Star was not kind, on the contrary, it was rather cold, but at that moment, Shen did see the calm warmth of lake water in those eyes.
He dropped his eyes.
"I know, Mother."
At this time, Pei Ji, who was sitting alone in the restaurant, looked at the two people by the pool from afar, turning his fork boredly in his hand.
"Just eat, why are you talking about flower gardening? Is your hobby so elegant?"
Demi, who was serving beside her, closed her eyes and said, "Is it possible that you, Admiral, are too ungraceful?"
"Take a look at the upper circles of our Baisha Star. Which noble doesn't have some elegant hobbies?"
"I didn't." Pei Ji was very proud.
By the pool.
Shen Que walked slowly behind Ai Fan.
He knew that Ai Fan had specifically invited them to dinner and had been alone with him, so he had something to say, and now was almost the time.
Sure enough, after walking for a while, Ai Fan asked, "What do you think about the gold sand production line?"
Shen Que paused for a moment: "Mother, are you asking for my opinion, or... the Queen's opinion?"
Ai Fan stopped, tilted his head slightly, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“Both.”
