Darling, Aren't You Going to Show Your Appreciation?

Tesla, Himeko, Eden, and so on...

Although Eden is the most refined of the three, well... we can't count on him. At most, he's just too embarrassed to produce any gems right now.

"So, Eden, you actually didn't really want to do a live stream, did you? Or have you changed your mind?"

"No... okay, I really can't bring myself to say something like 'the Ultra Supreme Most Beautiful Angel Eden-chan'."

Having been together for 24 years, Eden was able to lower himself to some extent for Liu Bai, and Liu Bai could naturally see what Eden was thinking, so Eden, knowing this, gave up making excuses.

Eden thought that if he were sixteen, he would have said these things, but he was 24 now!

While I wouldn't dare say I'm very mature, Eden feels that I'm at least a grown woman, so could you please stop with such embarrassing lines?

With you doing this, I'm really afraid that you'll come up with some kind of 'magical girl transformation' plot in the future!

"I just wanted to... well, I just wanted to sing."

"But if you want more people to hear your singing, becoming an idol is an essential step."

"... At worst, I'll just sing it for you."

Eden lowered his head.

Doesn't that sound a bit like a confession?

"Really," Liu Bai sighed, "Don't always make me feel guilty for stifling a genius."

Liu Bai reached out and flicked Eden's forehead.

"Although I think the 'Ultra Supreme Most Beautiful Angel Eden-chan' project is pretty good, if you don't like Eden, then forget it... Eden, can I borrow your phone for a moment?"

Liu Bai said he was willing to risk everything.

Isn't it just taking a girl he doesn't know to his "ex-wife" to borrow money?

Although he's a bit of a jerk, he doesn't believe Mobius can tear him apart... At worst, he'll possess a doll and let her tear him apart.

Eden handed over his phone, looking bewildered, and then Liu Bai deftly dialed Mobius's number.

"Hello, this is the Moth Chasers to Fire Biological Laboratory. Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Dr. Mobius."

The voice on the other end of the phone was that of an unfamiliar woman, but Liu Bai still calmly continued the conversation.

"Dr. Mobius is taking a lunch break. May I ask what brings you here?"

Blanca asked very cautiously.

Her own PhD student had recently had a falling out with other leaders at the Moth Chasers to Fire, so she spoke with considerable caution when faced with this sudden phone call to the lab.

"What is it..." Liu Bai paused for a moment.

You can't expect me to just say I need to borrow money, can you?

Although I'm planning to do some scumbag things, I still have some sense of shame... Well, when I'm planning to do scumbag things, I don't really have any sense of shame anymore.

Searching for a face in the void...

"Miss Blanca, just let Mobius answer the phone and tell her it's Liu Bai."

There were only a handful of people around Mobius qualified to answer the phone: Blanca in the early stages, Klein later on, and the Cangxuan sisters were utterly useless.

"... Yes, I understand."

Hearing Liu Bai's strong and resonant tone, Blanca couldn't help but become much more respectful.

(By the way, which leader of the Moth Chasers to Fire is named Liu Bai?)

Blanca suppressed her doubts and looked at the green-haired mature woman lying on the operating table behind her, her eyes half-closed.

"Which bastard made that call?"

Mobius squinted and rolled over on the operating table.

Could you please not treat the operating table like a bed...?

No matter how many times Blanca looked at his doctor, he was speechless.

This makes one wonder if the doctor might operate on himself at any moment.

"It's a leader I don't know... He didn't say what he wanted to do, he just said he wanted to see you."

"Then I'll hang up. My time isn't going to be wasted on those idiots."

As he spoke, Mobius rolled over again.

Aren't you just wasting your time right now...?

Blanca suppressed her urge to complain. After all, having followed Mobius for so many years, she knew exactly what kind of person her doctor was.

Although she is serious, responsible, and quite cold at work, she can be a bit... well, a little temperamental in her private time outside of work.

So... he just died?

Blanca figured that at this point in time, it was unlikely that the higher-ups would arrange anything good for their doctor.

If you're assigned tasks that involve finding fault, it's really difficult to argue with someone over the phone.

Once the order was given and the phone call was ended, even Mobius, a veteran of the Moth Chasers to Fire, felt somewhat disgusted by this situation.

Thinking of this, Blanca decisively hung up the phone.

However, Blanca then remembered her earlier question.

"By the way, Doctor, do we have a leader named Liu Bai in our Moth Chasers to Fire?"

Chapter 310 Darling, aren't you going to do something about it?

Bang--!

Eden's door was violently smashed open.

"Liu Bai! Liu Bai, where are you?!"

Holding an unidentified device, Mobius casually tossed it to Blanca behind him and stormed into the room.

"Ahem, Mobius, is there any need to be so... so irritable?" Liu Bai, possessing the doll, walked over with a forced smile.

"Irritable? Me?"

Mobius pointed at himself with a cold laugh.

"Stop talking nonsense. Let me meet your new girlfriend. I want to see how pretty she is that you would bring her to me to borrow money."

When Liu Bai called her before, she was moved to tears by the long-awaited reunion. However, when she called back and got down to business, Liu Bai's hesitant request to borrow money immediately made her wary.

Of course, borrowing money was no problem for Mobius. What was hers was Liu Bai's. If Liu Bai wanted anything, Mobius would do everything in her power to get it for Liu Bai.

But the problem is... borrowing money?

You, a ghost, need to spend money?

Combining this with his own past experiences, Mobius immediately understood what was going on.

—That bastard Liu Bai is having an affair behind my back!

Okay, I can accept the idea of simply keeping a mistress Mobius.

After all, given Liu Bai's mysterious nature, he might be considered a "mistress" by others, but Mobius had confidence in himself.

But it's outrageous that you, a scoundrel, have a mistress and then come to me asking for money!

Do I, Mobius, look like a sucker if I spend money to support other women for you?

Hmm... Although thinking about it from another angle, the fact that Liu Bai didn't look for anyone else but only came to me... might actually be quite pleasant—but even so, I can't lend him the money!

"..."

Liu Bai immediately gave a look of utter despair; Mobius's words were far too harsh.

"Liu Bai? This... this auntie is your friend."

Eden walked out from behind with a nonchalant expression, but his words were full of aggression.

"I'm only 26 this year, I'm an auntie, what are you?"

Mobius was momentarily stunned when he saw Eden, which softened his tone slightly.

Hmm... No wonder Liu Bai was willing to come to me for a loan on her behalf, given her current state.

"Let me introduce myself, Mobius, a scientist, Liu Bai's wife."

Although Mobius was a bit hot-tempered, he was still an intellectual. Even without Liu Bai's Lord God's- eye view, the moment he saw Eden, he realized that the woman in front of him, like himself, was someone with extraordinary talent in a certain area.

Mobius was also a lover of talent... although the process of discovering this genius was not smooth this time.

"Could you please add 'self-reference' to your final introduction?"

Eden responded calmly, though a hint of surprise lingered on his face.

Twenty-six years old... younger than I imagined, only two years older than me?

She had no idea that the other person was so young. She had known Liu Bai for twenty-four years, so she subconsciously thought that the young-looking Dr. Mobius in front of her was probably at least in his forties.

Eden unexpectedly sensed something was amiss.

However, since the other party's attitude towards him had softened, Eden was not the type to continue to keep a cold face.

"Eden is 24 years old this year, a graduate... or rather, currently unemployed, and his relationship with Liu Bai... should be considered family."

"...family?"

This word caused a momentary flicker in Mobius's eyes.

Family... I'm family with Liu Bai, right?

Back then, Liu Bai and I supported each other through those difficult days... but just as things were getting better, Liu Bai left my side.

Thinking of this, Mobius's attitude softened immediately, but he still glared fiercely at Liu Bai, who was possessing the doll.

"Eden, you and Liu Bai..."

"Liu Bai has been by my side since I can remember."

"What a coincidence, me too." Mobius smiled, though there was a hint of confusion in his smile. "Eden, when you can remember..."

"Two or three years old, I guess." Eden looked slightly surprised when Mobius said, "Me too." "And you?"

"When I first opened my eyes."

Mobius's words left Eden speechless.

What does it mean to have just opened one's eyes?

"Right when you were born."

Mobius seemed to sense Eden's confusion and said with considerable pride.

What is a prodigy? This is it. Mobius may not know everything that has happened from the time he was born until now, but he remembers the special things very clearly.

"But at this time..."

"Let me explain this."

Liu Bai finally felt he had a voice.

"The main problem is my time..."

Liu Bai brought out the theory that Mei had summarized back then.

"Oh... so that means the world you experience, Liu Bai... or rather, the time you live in is different from the time of normal people."

Mobius understood Liu Bai's explanation very easily.

"So, there might be another 'you from the past' or 'you from the future' in other parts of the world right now?"

"Almost."

Speaking of the past, Mei and Hua are both in junior high school now... But unfortunately, once Liu Bai "observes" it, it will trigger the correction mechanism and create a temporary world line, right?

"So, in your timeline, I was one of the earliest?"

"Almost?"

Liu Bai thought for a moment and nodded.
