On the way back to the laboratory, Ling Xi ended his call with Kevin somewhat dejectedly!
After having lunch with Seele, Ling Xi had returned directly to the research institute. On the way, he had called Kevin, intending to give him the remaining ticket. However, Kevin had told him that his friend had managed to get two tickets, and he would be going with his friend.
As a result, Ling Xi was left holding the extra ticket.
"I've already picked up the tickets, I can't return them..."
Looking at the ticket in his hand, Ling Xi fell into thought, pondering how to deal with it. Returning it wasn't an option since he already had it, so...
Should he sell it to someone else?
Ugh... that's scalping. Ling Xi could guarantee that even if he priced it at 30,000, someone would buy it instantly. After all, it was a VIP seat, the absolute center, front row. Inflating the price tenfold would be incredibly easy.
But, let's forget it. That's an illegal act, and it goes against my principles!
So, what should he do with this ticket?
Should he invite Klein back? Hmm... that girl would definitely refuse, she has too much work.
Cangxuan and Danzhu, if they were together, they might agree, but...
There was only one ticket. Giving it to one of them would be unfair to the other. Moreover, they were so close, they rarely separated. So if he only gave one ticket, they would probably refuse!
Finally, Mobius?
Hmm, although I have this thought, she'd probably refuse like Klein. Mobius only cared about research and definitely had no interest in concerts. So, even if he invited her, she would most likely refuse.
Ling Xi "..."
For a moment, he found himself unable to give the ticket away!
Just then, a pink figure flashed through his mind...
Ling Xi "..." No, no, absolutely not!
In less than a second, Ling Xi directly rejected the idea. If he invited her, she would definitely bully Seele, and Seele might get angry again. So, absolutely not for that certain pink-haired girl!
"Hachoo..."
Somewhere, a pink-haired girl sneezed...
Ling Xi continued walking while thinking, and soon arrived at the laboratory, and then...
"Hi, Ling Xi!"
As soon as Ling Xi entered, he was surrounded by Klein and Mobius. Ling Xi immediately panicked. Could it be... what Miss Fairy said last night was true? Mobius...
Was she really going to make a move on him?
"Senior Sister Klein, Doctor, what... what are you doing?"
Looking at the two women with green eyes in front of him, Ling Xi appeared somewhat trembling!
"Ahem, Ling Xi, don't be scared. We... won't do anything to you."
Mobius coughed lightly and said, "Don't worry, I have a lot of experience with this. When I was sampling the white mice before, I just needed to give them a little medicine and then stimulate the local area with electrodes."
Ling Xi "..." Hey, hey, hey, that sounds terrifying...
Also, what exactly do you want to do?
"Ling Xi, the Doctor just wants a sample,"
Klein explained calmly. "Moreover, the Doctor's method is only for sampling animals without self-awareness. As for humans with self-awareness, it's... like this!"
Saying that, Klein handed Ling Xi a measuring cup, a pack of tissues, and... a website address!
Ling Xi "???"
In the end, Mobius got what she wanted and happily began her research...
Soon, it was Sunday. Although the research institute had a weekend schedule, Mobius's laboratory was...
relatively free. To be precise, there were no detailed regulations for rest days. As long as there was something to do, one could rest whenever they wanted, as long as they informed Mobius. She would usually agree.
Therefore, whether it was Mobius, or Danzhu and Cangxuan, as long as they had nothing else going on, they would come to the laboratory even on weekends. For the former, rest was a waste of time, and for the latter two, slacking off at home or slacking off at the laboratory was the same.
What? You're asking about Klein?
Oh, my Herrscher of Finality, does anyone really think Klein's dictionary has the word "holiday" in it? Let me tell you, if anyone dares to mention those two words again, I guarantee I'll kick their butt hard!
Ling Xi also came to the laboratory this morning, as his appointment with Seele was at noon.
"Doctor, aren't you going to rest today?"
In Laboratory No. 3, Ling Xi was helping Mobius test the half-corpse cells. He noticed that the research Mobius was conducting today seemed to be more than usual.
"Rest is just a waste of time for me, and besides..."
Mobius raised the petri dish in her hand and smiled. "Compared to resting, research makes me feel more energetic. Also, don't you have something to do this afternoon? If I don't finish the experiment now, I won't have four hours to spare tonight."
"Tonight..."
Ling Xi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is the Doctor attending a banquet tonight?"
When it came to having something to do, the first thing Ling Xi thought of was a banquet. After all, for Mobius, a super-introvert, apart from necessary scientific research meetings and unavoidable banquets, she rarely left the research institute.
"Hmm? A party."
Mobius was also stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Don't worry, I don't have any parties recently, and I'm free tonight."
"Oh..."
Ling Xi nodded with some confusion. The Doctor had just said she was busy tonight, but then she said she was free tonight. What... did she mean?
"Heh, what, do you have something to say to me?"
Seeing Ling Xi's confused look, Mobius approached him with a smile, looking at him very gently, as if expecting something.
"No... no."
Ling Xi was stunned for a moment, then instinctively took half a step back. That was close, he almost got tricked by his Doctor again!
Because according to the normal procedure, Mobius would definitely get closer to him, then try to tempt him with some lines, and then she would completely flip the script, and finally... he would be tricked...
So, after being fooled three times, Ling Xi definitely wouldn't fall for Mobius's tricks anymore.
Because the bad woman really only tricks me.
Mobius: "..." No, why are you dodging? Just give me the ticket!
Could it be that Ling Xi felt a little disappointed by her question the day before yesterday, so he thought she wouldn't accept the invitation, and that's why he hadn't invited her all this time?
Mobius couldn't help but start thinking, feeling that perhaps her questioning the day before yesterday had made Ling Xi wary of her. Just as Klein said, maybe she should trust Ling Xi more, and also... be more proactive!
"Sigh..."
So, Mobius sighed and decided to take the initiative, extending her hand to Ling Xi and smiling, "Alright, alright, I promise you, okay? Give me the thing."
Ling Xi: "???"
Chapter 48: This wave is... Klein's betrayal!
"Uh..."
Seeing Mobius extend her hand towards him, Ling Xi was stunned for a moment. What... did she mean?
"Excuse me... Doctor, what are you talking about?"
Facing Mobius, whose intentions were unclear, Ling Xi asked cautiously, because he really didn't know what Mobius was talking about!
"Still pretending? Is it fun to pretend in front of me?"
Mobius couldn't help but lean closer to Ling Xi and said with a sly smile, "If you don't give me the concert tickets, then I really won't go!"
"Ha... concert... cough..."
Ling Xi almost spat out a mouthful of blood. "Concert tickets, Doc... Doctor, how did you know?"
"Nonsense, Klein told me everything!"
Mobius poked Ling Xi's cheek with her finger and said with a smile, "So, I actually knew from the beginning that you wanted to invite me to the concert, but you thought I might not go, so you never said anything, right?"
"Uh..."
Ling Xi didn't know what to say for a moment. What exactly did Klein tell Mobius?
"Doctor, what did Klein say?"
Ling Xi couldn't help but ask again.
"Hmph, Klein said!"
Mobius gave Ling Xi a sideways glance, but still explained, "On Thursday night, after you came out of my laboratory, you suddenly found Klein and said you wanted to buy two tickets for Eden's concert, and you planned to invite me to watch it with you, so... you thought I didn't know about this, but in fact, Klein already told me everything. So, how long do you plan to keep pretending?"
Ling Xi: "..." Damn, damn, damn, so it was Klein who betrayed me all along?
When the hell did I say I wanted to invite the Doctor?
"Alright, don't blame Klein for telling me in advance. After all, Klein was worried that I would refuse."
Seeing Ling Xi's stunned expression, Mobius took the blame for Klein. After all, she had such a good assistant who had helped her so much, how could she bear to see her get bullied?
Ling Xi: "..." Is this the price for bragging in front of Seele that day, and then taking all the credit from Klein?
"Doctor, it's not like that, I..."
Ling Xi really wanted to explain, because he knew that Mobius had misunderstood, and Klein had also misunderstood. From the beginning, he was...
"What? Aren't you trying to invite me?"
Mobius smiled and teased Ling Xi, "Don't tell me you bought the tickets to invite your little girlfriend, or I'll get angry, hehe, just kidding."
Ling Xi: "..."
"Uh... no, it's not that, I just..."
Nonsense, Ling Xi certainly wouldn't dare to admit it. Who was Mobius? She was a super big shot. He didn't know Mobius's reputation at first, but now he did. So... if he dared to say no, then he would be the subject of tomorrow's live experiment!
"I'm just a little happy, because..."
Ling Xi scratched his head and smiled, "Because I thought you wouldn't agree to me, so I was hesitating whether to invite you proactively. I didn't expect you to actually... hehe..."
"Hmph, if I hadn't brought it up, would you not have invited me?"
Mobius gave Ling Xi a sideways glance and said speechlessly, "Am I that narrow-minded in your heart?"
"No, no, no, Doctor is the best... Hehe, hehe..."
Ling Xi could only agree, breaking out in a cold sweat. Thankfully, Kevin's friend had managed to get tickets. Otherwise, he would have really given the tickets to Kevin's friend, and then...
In short, he was grateful to Kevin's friend, grateful to Brother Su...
"What are you spacing out for? Give me the tickets."
Mobius smiled and extended her hand to Ling Xi. "Klein said they were special seats, so I want to see where we're sitting..."
"Doctor, here!"
Ling Xi quickly took out all three tickets. At this point, the remaining ticket could only be for Mobius.
"Mmm... C1-5, C1-6, C2-6!"
Looking at the numbers on the tickets, Mobius smiled knowingly and asked, "The remaining one is for your friend, right?"
"Uh... yeah!"
Ling Xi answered through gritted teeth, suddenly regretting it. If he had known, he should have asked Klein to help buy consecutive seats that day. Now...
Alright, this time it's a threesome, and I'm definitely getting beaten up!
"Here..."
Mobius directly took ticket C1-6 and handed the remaining two to Ling Xi, smiling. "Yours is seat number five in the first row, so I'll take number six. You can give the one in the second row to your friend, and then we can sit together!"
"No problem, Doctor!"
What else could Ling Xi say? He could only nod in agreement. But the problem now was that Seele had seat number five in the first row, the Doctor had number six in the first row, and he himself was...
Ling Xi: "..." Now, the friend he mentioned had really become himself!
"Oh, right, Doctor, I... I made plans with a friend to go shopping in the city this afternoon. Would you... like to come along?"
Ling Xi tentatively invited her. Of course, Ling Xi definitely didn't want Mobius to come along, because if Mobius came, the date would turn into a party. Seele would probably get angry again
