The real reason?
Across from him, Bai Mo studied Lin Xu with a scrutinizing gaze, seemingly unable to gauge his intentions for the moment.
It made her feel a trace of anxiety.
...In fact, anything that could not be inferred or judged through reason and logic made her anxious.
Fortunately, most situations in life did not have much impact.
After thinking for a moment, she answered:

Becoming a pilot first, then an astronaut—wouldn't that be much easier than
