Chapter 64
It's 10 p.m.
"That's about it."
After finishing her work, Song Yilian rubbed her slightly swollen eyes, then turned off her computer, put on her coat, and left her workstation.
She is now a doctoral student.
The research pressure for doctoral students is much greater than that during their graduate studies. These days, she spends her days either conducting experiments in the lab or organizing data in the office.
She's been drawing since this afternoon, and her eyes are getting a little blurry now.
Not wanting to strain her eyes any longer, she put on headphones on her way back to the dormitory, and heard a mechanical female voice reading a novel.
Thinking of her friend's surprised expression when she first learned about her novel being broadcast online, and how her friend described her taste as that of an old person, she suddenly burst out laughing as she walked along the empty, dimly lit sycamore-lined road.
She used to think that only old people didn't watch videos and only listened to sounds. She never imagined that one day she would become like that herself. It's quite interesting.
The older she gets, the more she seems to understand others, and everyone.
Yuan Wenwen encountered an injured small animal on her way to move.
This animal resembled a cat but wasn't quite one; it had the size and build of a cat, but its markings were very strange—she had never seen such patterns on a cat before.
However, Yuan Wenwen simply treated it as a cat.
After all, we're in the interstellar age now, so it's quite normal for cats to undergo some evolution and mutations...
The storyline playing in her headphones completely captivated Song Yilian's attention.
Oh, little kitten!
That's great, the female lead is going to become a cat owner.
She actually likes small animals, but she has always been in school and living on campus, so she has never had the chance to raise one herself.
Yuan Wenwen led 623 a short distance away, but still felt sorry for the injured kitten, so she and the machine went back, picked it up, and took it away.
The kitten is very aloof.
Yuan Wenwen bandaged its wounds and fed it, but when she called it, it ignored her.
"Oranges, oranges?"
Yuan Wenwen is searching for the kitten again.
The kitten lay on the tall cabinet, lazily flicking its tail, but didn't respond.
"So aloof!"
Yuan Wenwen tugged at its tail, feeling both fond and helpless.
So cute.
The unique combination of a human, a cat, and a small robot struck a chord with Song Yilian, softening her heart considerably.
February Sky is truly a magical author; it seems that every book she writes has a different flavor.
"Back to High School" inspired her, but this other book, which was a popular online novel... well, the name was too fancy for her to remember. She found relaxation and comfort, and a sense of peace and tranquility in this novel.
She, who never reads novels, has now fallen in love with Eryuetian and only reads her works whenever she wants to read anything.
She had a heavy academic workload and little time for leisure each day. She didn't know when it started, but reading Er Yuetian's novels in her spare time had become a habit.
Take Er Yuetian's previous book, "Legend of the Qing Dynasty," for example. She followed the serialization at the time, sometimes listening and sometimes reading, and before she knew it, she had followed it from beginning to end.
The completion of a new book may be a relief for the author, but it is usually a disappointment for the reader.
She felt a little lost at the time, feeling that the things that accompanied and entertained her every day were gone.
Fortunately, February Sky is a diligent author. She started this new novel in less than two months, bringing her daily entertainment back.

A cat appeared in the article "After Live-streaming My Cooking, I Became a Star Influencer," and readers commented that the cat was cute but didn't pay much attention to it.
To the readers, this is just a little pet that the author arranged for the female lead, nothing more. Who would have thought that it would become the future male lead?
After updating more than a dozen chapters on human-cat interactions, Xu Ying felt the time was right and finally began writing from the cat's perspective.
[Gao Yasi meowed at the woman in front of him.]
He can't not meow, otherwise she'll keep chasing after him and nagging incessantly.
Sure enough, upon hearing the kitten's sweet meows, Yuan Wenwen called out "Orange, Orange" a few times, then buried her face in its thick fur and rubbed against it again and again before going to the kitchen, completely satisfied.
Goyas rolled over, utterly dejected, and began to comb his messy fur again.
"Ju Zi, dinner's ready!"
A moment later, Gao Yasi heard a woman calling him to eat, and he sprang to his feet and rushed to the dining table.
The woman was a bit rude, but her cooking was incredibly delicious. Most amazingly, he felt his spirit being slowly repaired.
He thought he would repay her if he had the chance in the future.
"This is your dinner, and this is mine."
Goyas jumped onto the dining table.
This was a right he had fought hard for.
This woman actually put her food bowl on the ground in the first place! How could he, a dignified interstellar commander, eat while lying on the ground?!
Under his strong protest, she finally gave in.
However, in reality, Yuan Wenwen was only persuaded to put the cat's food bowl on the table because the cat was being affectionate and rubbing against her legs.
Readers who finished this chapter were left speechless.
-The cat isn't a cat...
- It should be said that this cat is not a simple cat.
- Cat has a big identity; he's actually the interstellar commander! [Surprised]
-！ ！ ！
-Everything about the family was foreshadowed. The female lead heard on interstellar news that the commander-in-chief was injured on the extraterrestrial battlefield!
-Holy crap, I just remembered, didn't they also say that the head coach was seriously injured and recuperating at home, and would not attend any public events in the near future?
-That's right, that's right.
- Hahahaha, no wonder he couldn't attend. He's disappeared and turned into a cat, how could he possibly attend!
The army must be in complete chaos.
-It's alright, the Marshal is having porridge at Wenwen's house.
-God*@Drinking porridge.
-I'm a little worried, maybe I'm just being a conspiracy theorist, but I always feel there's something wrong with the vice-general who spoke in place of the head coach.
-That makes sense. With Gao Yasi in trouble, he became the temporary leader of the army, and he was the biggest beneficiary.
-It seems there's more to Goyas's injury than meets the eye...

The updates to "After Live-streaming My Cooking, I Became a Star Influencer" are getting better and better.
While writing, Xu Ying also frequently practiced with Ya Ya Xueyu, and the two of them had countless brainstorming sessions regarding the various costumes and makeup in "Legend of the Qing Dynasty".
Of course, the results were also gratifying.
Recently, YaYaXueYu designed several sets of distinctly different decorations, all of which caught Xu Ying's eye, and she immediately decided to use them.
It's great to see the ducklings learning to talk.
She values this collaboration with February Sky very much. Recently, as soon as she gets home from work, she immediately sits down at her drawing board and starts drawing until midnight.
Staying up all night is out of the question.
She's too lazy to even cook meals now.
She used to buy groceries and cook for herself to save money, but now she neither buys groceries nor cooks, just orders takeout and makes do with whatever is available.
Now, all she cares about is painting.
She was busy painting at night, so she inevitably lacked energy during the day when she was working.
She sat at her desk, yawning as she organized her lesson plans, thinking about what she would be teaching her students next.
Just then, Ms. Wang, who was sitting on the other side, suddenly called out to her: "Ms. Zhang, is the next class for Class 3 art? I still have some math stuff to cover, so can you give me this class?"
She used to dislike this teacher, Mr. Wang, taking over her classes.
But now she couldn't have what she wanted.
"Okay, Teacher Wang, you can go teach."
After exchanging a few polite words, the art class for Class 3 turned into a math class.
Ignoring the children's sighs and groans, Ya Ya sat in the office, leaned back in her chair, and dozed off for a while. When she vaguely heard the bell ring for the end of get out of class, she realized that a class had already passed.
She got up and washed her face, and when she came back she felt much more refreshed.
Back in her office, she picked up the newly purchased "Hanshan Temple Painting Manual" and began to carefully examine it page by page. Just as she was engrossed in reading, Teacher Wang, who was about to leave her class, returned.
Teacher Wang taught a class, and now her throat is so sore it feels like it's on fire.
As soon as she entered the office, she spotted the art teacher, dressed smartly, sitting in the corner, looking at a book full of pictures.
That feels so comfortable.
She immediately felt resentful, and her words carried a hint of sarcasm: "Oh, look at our teacher Zhang, she's really working hard, still reading art books!"
The other teachers immediately looked over in the direction she was referring to.
Ya Ya put down her book and smiled. That's why she didn't like this Teacher Wang taking over her class. Even though she asked to take over the class herself, it was as if Teacher Wang was taking advantage of her.
She was a newcomer and had always been tolerant in order to maintain harmony in the office, but she always had a lot of anger inside with nowhere to vent it. Now she didn't want to tolerate it anymore.
"I have to thank Teacher Wang. If it weren't for Teacher Wang going to class for me, I wouldn't have time to study."
Anyone can be sarcastic or sarcastic!
Teacher Wang was stunned, clearly not expecting Ya Ya to say that. She had said this to Ya Ya before, and Ya Ya would always just smile and remain silent.
"Teacher Zhang is amazing now."
"Yes, it's all thanks to the teacher's excellent teaching. I followed your example, and now I'm exactly like you!"
That's satisfying to hear.
The other teachers in the office wanted to laugh but were too embarrassed to, so they all lowered their heads and their faces turned red.
Ms. Wang was speechless after being confronted by her. She couldn't very well blame herself, so she had nowhere to vent her anger and could only slam her textbook down and leave.
Old witch!
Duck cursed inwardly, then lowered her head and began flipping through her drawing book.
She was already planning to resign anyway, so she wasn't afraid of anyone now. If anyone tried to bully her like before, they shouldn't blame her for turning her back on them.
But no one dared to bully her.
The story of Ms. Wang being directly confronted by her spread throughout the school's teaching circle within two days. Ms. Wang is a senior teacher at the school, and most people still sided with her.
For a time, many people said that she was young and impetuous and didn't know any better.
The duck didn't care at all.
But this Ms. Wang, for some reason, still takes over her art class every day without fail. Today it's Class 3, tomorrow it's Class 5. She seems to think that taking over her class is a challenge to her dignity.
"My math classes are indeed a bit demanding, so I'll have to use your art class instead. I've already spoken to the headmaster about this, and he's agreed..."
Teacher Wang was very pleased with himself.
Duck didn't understand, but it readily agreed: "Okay, I'll have to trouble Teacher Wang from now on."
She really didn't care about the small amount of tuition fee.
All she knows is that not having to go to class is really great!
