“Here.” Anhe raised an eyebrow, turned off the smart device, and stood up.
"Come answer me, where I was just now?"
Anhe didn't even look at the book. "Antimatter mecha concept. Page 326, line 3: Antimatter mechas have some theoretical feasibility, but so far..."
Don't doubt it, Anhe memorized that entire passage.
Not a single word was wrong. Robert couldn't help but wonder if he was seeing things and asked, "Were you listening to the lecture just now?"
"Yes, Professor. I just suddenly felt unwell and wanted to go to the infirmary later. I'm currently making an appointment with the doctor. It was my fault for not paying attention in class, I'm sorry."
The girl's remorse was sincere, and Robert's tone softened. "Is it serious? You should go see a doctor now. It's not a good thing for a genius's body to break down."
“Thank you, Professor Robert,” Anhe said gratefully. “I’ll make up for this lesson later.”
"Go."
Before Anhe had even left, a girl who disliked her said, "Professor, she hasn't gone through the leave application process yet."
"Do you think I didn't follow the rules and regulations?" Robert frowned, his expression clearly showing displeasure.
The girl was speechless for a moment, and Robert mocked, "So what if I didn't follow the rules? If you were as good as Lance, no, if you were even half as good as her, I could give you special privileges too."
The girl's face turned pale.
"You go first." He switched to a gentle tone when speaking to Anhe.
"Thank you, mentor."
Anhe glanced at the girl, made a mental note of her, and then logged off. He decided to go to the infirmary, of course, in the real world.
"..." Turning off the smart device doesn't mean ending the communication. Ning Jue, who had listened to the entire conversation, asked in surprise, "Is this how you usually operate it?"
"Is someone with you?"
"Uh, an elder. Anhe, help me find out where Jiang Chenrui is. He might be in trouble."
"Tsk! You always have such a cold face, but you actually care about people a lot!" Anhe teased as she searched. "You're just being stubborn. There aren't many high-quality guys like Senior Jiang. Be careful, he might find a girl he likes one day, then you'll be crying your eyes out."
Lian Han: "...We are just ordinary friends."
"You two are just friends, how can you have a cold war for so long? Don't lie to me. Senior Jiang already said that you two have known each other since you were little, you're childhood sweethearts. He's the top student in the third year now, he's good enough for you, and he's good-looking too. You really don't plan to make a move? If you've never had a crush on him, I'll change my surname to yours."
Ning Jue: ...What would it feel like to hear your beloved girl's best friend urging her to get a boyfriend, and that person isn't even him?
Before he could even express his feelings, he heard Lian Han smile and say, "Good boy, Shen Anhe."
Anhe: ? ?
Anhe: "Damn! You really never had any feelings for me? Are you even a woman?"
“Shen Anhe, our relationship is a bit complicated—do you know what Jiang Chenrui calls me?”
"What?"
Lian Han's lips curved into a smile, which grew even brighter. "Sister. He always calls me sister."
Anhe: ? ?
Even through the AI, Lian Han could imagine her bewildered expression and couldn't help but continue, "How could I possibly harm my own brother?"
It took Anhe a while to find her voice. "Lian Han, you're 16 this year, but he's 22. He calls you 'sister'? Are you insulting my intelligence?"
Mentioning this matter, Lian Han's voice turned colder, "Oh, you remind me of the stupid things I did back then. Find Jiang Chenrui, and if you're sure he's alright, I want him to kneel on the ground and repent properly."
Anhe: ? ?
She belatedly realized that what Lian Han said might be true, and that she might have just touched a nerve with Lian Han.
Anhe paused for a moment, then chuckled awkwardly, "Found him. Fatty said he's on a mission, a hunting mission in the wasteland, and he said he'll be back at school this afternoon. What do you need him for? I'll pass it on to you."
Lian Han glanced at the gemstones on the bracelet, which had gradually stabilized since the beginning, and said, "It's alright. It's just that now that the Cold War is over, I'd like to have a few big battles."
Anhe immediately exposed him, saying, "You can't beat him."
Lian sneered, "Do you believe I can make him kneel down and let me beat him up?"
An He was about to say it was impossible, but then she remembered how Jiang Chenrui had approached her when they were partners before, almost pleading with her. She didn't want to be proven wrong again.
So Anhe said, "I believe you. But all such high-quality guys have become younger brothers, no wonder you're single."
Lian Han's lips twitched. "I'm only 16. Do you believe I'll tell Ling Xin that you've been encouraging me to date early?"
"You two need to make up first," Anhe said confidently.
"Oh," Lian Han said coldly.
The AI vibrated again at that moment; it was Jiang Chenrui. Lian Han raised an eyebrow. "Chen Anhe, go to the infirmary obediently. I need to talk to my brother."
The communication was disconnected.
Anhe: ...
Is this something you use and then throw away? Why would she fake being sick to help her find someone?
...
Another call was connected, and the young man's voice sounded tentative, "Sister?"
He was 22, and Xiaohan was 16. Ning Jue thought to herself silently.
Lian Han paused for a moment, then said, "Not dead yet?"
Sure enough, he's all bark and no bite. Xing Yucheng and Ning Jue sighed.
The young man seemed oblivious to the coldness in his words, saying, "I'm sorry to have worried you, sister. I'm fine now."
"You're doing well, but you won't answer my calls?"
"No. I was busy just now and couldn't free my hands," Jiang Chenrui quickly explained.
