Believe in Parallel Universes; Have Faith in the Tree Sea Theory / Mobius Teases Her, Then Gets Her Comeuppance

"The previous film's screenings haven't ended yet, and the next one won't be for at least another six months."

"It's better not to mention it, because once it's brought up, I'm incredibly curious about Kiana's future, and whether Himeko- sensei will ever reappear?!"

"Of course you will. Have you forgotten that song released by the official Honkai team?"

"Isn't Her Queen right here? Why don't we just ask her?"

When Sirin came to her senses, she looked at the barrage of questions and her mind was completely blank.

"I don't know, don't ask me, I really don't know anything, I don't even know how my own storyline developed."

"Your Queen, you're so clumsy, so cute~"

"Don't call me stupid!" Sirin spotted this comment immediately among the many bullet comments.

After Sirin replied, the live chat started flooding with comments again.

"Ugh!" Sirin got angry again.

In the dormitory area not far away, in Kiana's room, the girls looked at each other in confusion. Kiana scratched her head and asked, "Sirin, what is she doing now?"

"I don't know, but it was around this time last week too." Bronya glanced at the time.

"Old timer, the rain has stopped!" Little Knowledge looked out the window and saw that the sun was shining.

"Class monitor, Little Knowledge, it's already so late, why don't you stay here for dinner?" Mei stood up and tried to persuade Little Knowledge and Fu Hua to stay.

"...All right."

Chapter 134 Believing in Parallel Universes and Firmly Believing in the Tree Sea Theory

The latest episode has ended, the rain outside has stopped, the dark clouds have dispersed, Yaqing pushes open the gate of the Golden Courtyard. Smelling the slightly damp air, he doesn't understand why he likes the weather after the rain.

"It's so late, are you still going out?" Su, who had just returned from outside, opened the still dripping umbrella and placed it in the yard.

"Mmm," Yaqing replied, taking Mobius's hand.

Seeing the two of them inseparable since confirming their relationship, Su Haoyi reminded them, "Then you should still bring an umbrella. The weather is strange today; it might rain again soon."

Yaqing shook his head; he didn't want to go shopping with an umbrella.

Mobius took a collapsible umbrella from the umbrella stand and put it in his bag.

Watching the two figures leave, Su smiled and shook his head. He couldn't understand why, if Kevin's IQ was so low before falling in love, Yaqing would become like a child after falling in love.

Kevin was watching "Magic Sword Divine Machine: Ahalato" produced by Anti-Entropy Entertainment on the sofa when he suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose, and muttered to himself, "Was someone cursing at me?"

"Tsk, love really is a poison," Su sighed, then looked away.

Yaqing and Mobius did not drive, but took a taxi to Mugawa Lake, west of Changkong City, which was where they confirmed their relationship.

The two walked on the Muchuan Bridge, the bright streetlights illuminating the road ahead, with a constant flow of traffic on either side. This is a romantic spot for couples in Changkong City, and there are rumors that the bridge was blessed by the god of love.

Mobius was a staunch materialist; she did not believe in any so-called gods.

If there really is a God watching over the world, and if their relationship is truly blessed by the God of Love, then what does her ten-year wait mean in the eyes of God?

Mobius stopped and leaned against the bridge railing, gazing at the lake below, where the streetlights were reflected.

"Are you tired?" Yaqing thought Mobius was tired, so she leaned against the bridge railing with her.

Mobius shook his head slightly and asked a question out of the blue, "Little mouse, do you really think parallel universes exist?"

"I don't know." Yaqing answered decisively, looking at the moon, and said, "Maybe... there is. I once heard a theory that the world we are standing on is actually on a tree."

Such absurd and ridiculous remarks would probably not even be believed by a child, and adults might laugh at his "naivety".

When this world-renowned doctor heard this theory, he did not ridicule Yaqing, but nodded in agreement.

"It's a very interesting theory. I've heard a theory before that whenever a person wants to change themselves, it means that the original version of them is already dead."

Mobius took a deep breath. "Little mouse, sometimes I wonder if Möbius has developed a time tunnel and pulled you from another timeline here."

"Senior, you're really quite cute." Yaqing turned around and leaned against the railing.

What makes it cute?

"Cutely silly." Yaqing reached out and tapped Mobius's forehead.

"Little guinea pig~~~"

Mobius's tone suddenly became sickeningly sweet, Yaqing became wary again.

"Senior, what are you planning to eat tonight?"

Before Mobius could speak, Yaqing interrupted her.

Mobius knew that Yaqing didn't want to talk about the topic she was going to bring up. After hearing his question, the Doctor, who usually had to squeeze out time even to eat instant noodles, actually thought about it carefully.

"After all these years, I kind of miss the steak at that old-fashioned restaurant near the university gate."

Mobius's words brought back memories Yaqing ten years ago, when he, Kevin, and Sue often went to that Western restaurant, and he had also taken Mobius there before.

"Okay." Yaqing swallowed hard, thinking of the delicious food.

Without exaggeration, the steak at the college gate far surpassed any ranked Western restaurant he had ever eaten at headquarters.

I hailed another taxi.

Chiyu Academy is also a well-known school in Changkong City, but it has been overshadowed by the St. Freya Academy, which is invested in by the Schicksal Consortium, resulting in its relatively low profile. However, it is still one of the top schools in the Far East.

In a small alley across the street from the south gate of the Chiyu Academy, there is an inconspicuous... restaurant. Calling it a restaurant would be an exaggeration; it only has a facade and a red cloth blocking the door.

Not many famous people visit this place; very few people actually set foot here.

The restaurant owner was an elderly man, looking to be in his fifties or sixties, with a face full of deep wrinkles, looking very weathered.

The restaurant's layout leans more towards a Japanese style, similar to a teppanyaki restaurant, with a row of seats and the owner standing inside preparing steaks for diners.

"Welcome," the owner said in a hoarse voice.

Yaqing and Mobius took their seats.

"It's you? Young man, it's been a long time since you've been here, hasn't it?" The boss recognized Yaqing.

"Boss, you still remember me?" Yaqing was somewhat surprised. He hadn't been to the Far East for at least seven years, and hadn't been to this restaurant for ten years.

"Of course I remember. You and your two other brothers used to come and support us all the time. How could I forget?" The boss's eyesight was probably not very good, as he tried hard to make out Mobius next to Yaqing.

"Isn't this the little girl who's having dinner with you for the first time?"

"Yes." Yaqing nodded.

"Is it the same as always?"

As Yaqing was about to reply, she heard Mobius beside her say, "That's right, the same as always."

Yaqing was puzzled. The owner turned around and started preparing the food, and he asked Mobius, "Senior, do you come here often?"

"No."

Mobius turned his head away with an air of arrogance.

When the steak was served, the aroma of rosemary mixed with the meaty fragrance of the steak whetted Yaqing's appetite. However, after taking a bite, he realized that it wasn't as delicious as he remembered.

Yaqing frowned.

In contrast, Mobius continued to savor his food slowly and carefully.

Yaqing frowned and asked, "Boss, have you changed your method of cooking steak?"

The boss shook his head.

"I've been running this shop for thirty years, and from the very beginning until now, neither the shop nor the methods have changed at all," the owner said meaningfully. "It's not that the taste of the steak has changed, but that the people eating it have changed."

Yaqing's head felt like it had been hit by a sledgehammer. When he took another bite of the steak, he found the taste was exactly as he remembered—still so delicious, except...

"Boss, I hope you are in good health." These were the last words Yaqing left after scanning the QR code to pay.

The boss didn't reply, but silently continued washing the dishes.

Walking on the road late at night, under the bright lights of the city, Yaqing held Mobius's hand tightly and did not let go.

Chapter 135 Mobius's Provocation Leads to a Tragic Counterattack

It was late at night when Yaqing and Mobius returned to the Golden Courtyard.

Yaqing's room is on the second floor.

Mobius's room was on the third floor.

At the corner, Yaqing and Mobius let go of each other's hands.

"Goodnight." Yaqing hugged Mobius, but quickly let go.

"Wait a minute." Mobius called out to Yaqing. Under his questioning gaze, she leaned closer and gently touched his lips with her pretty face, a smile playing on her lips. "Little guinea pig, this is your reward."

"My reward? That's not enough." Yaqing smiled and put his arm around Mobius's shoulder.

Mobius could clearly feel the warm breath exhaled by Yaqing. Like a green snake, she slumped into Yaqing's arms, her face flushed, and she closed her beautiful eyes.

The two, engrossed in their passionate kiss, were completely unaware that a door had been opened. Moonlight streamed through the window into the hallway. Kosma appeared calm, but inside he was incredibly embarrassed.

How embarrassing! Why did I come out to get a drink? To witness such an awkward scene, Yaqing and Mobius not noticing me, should I quickly go back inside and pretend I didn't see anything? But if I go back inside, it'll be even more awkward. What if Yaqing and Mobius ask me about it privately?

Kosma was conflicted, but when he looked up again, the corridor was empty, as if in a dream.

"Huh?" Kosma looked bewildered. "Could it be that was a demon in the courtyard just now?!"

Kosma one hand in a palm in front and the other in a fist behind, looking warily as if he were in an attacking stance, but it looked awkward and ridiculous.

"Amo, what are you doing?" Su walked out of the gym and asked Kosma, who was behaving strangely.

"Brother Su, you absolutely mustn't laugh at what I'm about to say," Kosma said with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, as a doctor, I have received professional training. No matter how funny it is, I will never laugh at you. What happened?" Su Ye asked seriously.

"I think I just saw a demon in the courtyard."

"Pfft." Su almost couldn't hold back, especially when he saw Kosma's serious expression.

"I really saw it just now!" Kosma anxiously, seeing Su's expression. "It was right in front of me, disguised as Brother Yaqing and Sister Mobius... in..."

The innocent young man Kosma, couldn't bring himself to say it.

"Yes, yes, yes, the Garden Demon." Su comforted Kosma. The Garden Demon was clearly a story that Ling made up to scare Pardo, but Kosma believed it wholeheartedly.

"So it really is because of the immense pressure of studying in the final year of high school?" Su shook his head, intending to arrange a counseling session for Kosma in Aponia.

Yaqing's bedroom.

Yaqing tiptoed and gently closed the door. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a sound suddenly came from behind her.

"What are you doing? Why are you acting like a thief going back to your own bedroom?"

Yaqing was startled and almost screamed.

I turned on the light and took a look.

Kevin was sitting idly in his gaming chair.

"Kevin?!" Yaqing sat on the bed, annoyed. "Why aren't you in your own room in the middle of the night? What are you doing sneaking around in my room with the lights off?"

"Isn't it because my computer in my room is lagging too much when I play games? I thought your computer is top-of-the-line, so I'll use your computer for a while." Kevin turned the gaming chair around to Yaqing.

"Wait, you didn't use my game account to play, did you?" Yaqing realized.

"Of course not." Kevin seemed to remember something, then looked at Yaqing with a disappointed expression and said, "It's already this late, and you still came back."

Yaqing said speechlessly, "If you don't come back, where will I live?"

"Of course it is..." Kevin didn't want to say it outright.

"Kevin, have you forgotten that I said the same thing to you when you went on your first date with Mei?" Yaqing lay on the bed. "By the way, aren't you going to work tomorrow? It's so late, why aren't you going home to sleep?"

"Damn, it's already 3 a. m.." Kevin glanced at the time and quickly went back to his room to sleep.

At this moment, there are still four hours before he gets up for work in the morning.

After Kevin left, Yaqing got up, took a shower, and then fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, after Yaqing got up and washed up, he had just stepped out of his bedroom when he saw Kosma. He was about to greet him when he saw Kosma looking at him warily.

"Amo, what's wrong?" Yaqing asked, puzzled, thinking that her face wasn't clean enough.
