Klein also knew about the Mu Continent symposium, so she nodded very seriously. This matter could not be delayed.
"Hehe, thanks for your hard work, Klein."
Mobius decisively hugged Klein, rubbing her face against her affectionately while taking the opportunity to...
"Sniff sniff..."
Mobius vigorously sniffed at the Ling Xi concentration on Klein... Hmm, good. This scent level was within the range of normal contact, completely different from the fox-spirit stench that had covered Ling Xi before.
Sure enough, Klein was the only trustworthy one by her side.
"Klein, then I won't disturb you."
After confirming that Klein was fine, Mobius released her, then turned to Ling Xi with a smile. "Ling Xi, come with me. I have something to say to you..."
Ling Xi: "..." Another ominous feeling...
Doctor Got Drunk Again...
"Ah..."
In Laboratory Three, Ling Xi looked at the familiar lab and could not help sighing.
"What's wrong?"
Mobius sipped her coffee as she looked at Ling Xi curiously. What was this guy sighing about?
"Nothing, I'm just feeling sentimental."
Ling Xi put on a regretful expression. "I thought I really would have to wait until tomorrow before I could come to Doctor's lab again, so I've been unable to eat or sleep. Who would've thought Doctor would give me another chance to come in after only an hour? So... I'm feeling rather sentimental."
"If you don't want to come in, you can leave now."
Mobius glared at him irritably. If she had not been worried about Klein, she would never have let him in so easily.
"Hehe, sorry, sorry. I was wrong, Doctor. Don't be angry."
Ling Xi hurriedly apologized, though he did not regret it. After all... knowing he was courting death but still wanting to tease her a little felt really good!
"Hmph..."
Mobius gave a soft snort, carefully took another sip of coffee, and asked, "Tell me, what did Elysia say to you earlier?"
"Hmm... Still nonsense, as usual."
Ling Xi spread his hands and smiled. "Nothing more than asking whether I wanted to work for her. Of course, Doctor can naturally guess what my answer was."
"Tch..."
Mobius snorted disdainfully, then sat back down in her work chair. "All right, come help me record the data."
"Hm? Me?"
Ling Xi was clearly stunned. Recording data? That was not his job.
"You. Come here."
Mobius urged him.
"Coming."
Although he did not know why Mobius had suddenly changed her mind, Ling Xi quickly pulled over a chair and moved closer, preparing to help her record the experimental data.
"Sit here."
Mobius gave up half of her chair for Ling Xi to sit on.
"Uh..."
Ling Xi froze again. What was going on now?
"What, you can squeeze onto a seat with Klein, but you can't squeeze onto one with me?"
Mobius looked at Ling Xi with a smile, a trace of threat in her gaze. "Or do you only want to sit with Klein and not with me?"
"No, no, that's not it. I'm just..."
Ling Xi quickly shook his head in denial. "I'm just worried that sitting like this might interfere with Doctor's work."
"It won't. Sit down already."
Mobius pursed her lips and patted the empty space beside her hard, telling Ling Xi to sit down quickly.
Ling Xi: "..."
He had no choice. He could not disobey his Doctor's orders as her assistant, so Ling Xi could only sit down and share the chair with Mobius.
"Hmph..."
Only then did Mobius nod in satisfaction and begin her work. "Watch for now. When it's time to record something, I'll tell you what to do."
"Understood, Doctor."
Ling Xi could only nod. Still, sitting together with Doctor...
It felt so cramped. Doctor really was bigger than Klein, though of course, Ling Xi could also clearly feel that the places where Doctor was bigger than Klein... were not limited to her overall build. All he could say was...
As expected of Doctor. Truly terrifying!
That evening, Mobius, Ling Xi, and Klein were once again resting together in the hall. Of course, only Ling Xi and Mobius were resting. Klein was still working overtime...
"Beep..."
At that moment, the hall doors suddenly opened, and Danzhu walked in carrying a package. She sighed. "Ah, it finally arrived. I've been waiting for days."
"Oh? What is that?"
Seeing Danzhu return, Mobius turned her attention over. The girl had just said she was going to pick up a package, but she had returned surprisingly quickly.
"Hehe, just some snacks."
Danzhu directly opened the package, took out something in red wrapping, then slowly unwrapped it with a smile. "Look, this is a snack that's been pretty popular recently. It's a type of chocolate. I thought it looked quite good, so I bought some."
"Oho... Chocolate?"
Mobius's eyes immediately lit up. Chocolate... that was good stuff!
Not only was it rich and delicious, but it was also packed with energy. It was perfect for filling one's stomach when tired or when there was no time to eat. Convenient, delicious, high-energy—it almost perfectly met every requirement for emergency rations, and...
It was really delicious!
"Come on, let's all have some."
Danzhu took out several wrapped chocolates and handed them to Ling Xi. "If they're good, I'll buy more next time."
"Doctor, here!"
Ling Xi handed one to Mobius, then gave two to Klein, keeping one for himself.
"This chocolate does smell very fragrant."
After taking the chocolate, Mobius curiously sniffed it. It smelled wonderful. This was probably real chocolate, rather than chocolate made with artificial flavoring, so... it smelled very good.
"Chocolate, energy!"
Unlike Mobius, Klein was very decisive. She immediately peeled off the wrapper and took a bite. At once, she felt the chocolate's fragrance spread through her mouth, along with...
"Hmm?"
Klein instantly sensed that something was wrong. This was...
"Doctor, wait..."
Klein hurriedly tried to stop Mobius...
"Nom..."
But Mobius had already taken a bite. Her mouth immediately filled with the rich aroma of chocolate, along with a hint of... alcohol?
"Hm? Liquor-filled chocolate?"
Ling Xi had also eaten his chocolate by then, tasting the alcohol as well. This was clearly liquor-filled chocolate, though it really did taste quite good.
"Well? Is it good?"
Seeing that everyone had eaten some, Danzhu wore a satisfied smile. Sharing good things with everyone was what she wanted.
"Yes, it's very good."
Ling Xi nodded decisively and smiled. "Danzhu, where did you buy it? I'll get some too later."
Ling Xi knew Mobius and Klein both liked sweet things, and chocolate clearly met that requirement.
"Online, of course. It's from The Store That Deceives You with Wind God. They're having a promotion lately, so if you want some, buy it quickly."
Danzhu generously told Ling Xi where she had bought it.
Ling Xi: "..." Wait, what kind of store name was that?
But Ling Xi could not be bothered to mock the store name right now. Tasting good was what mattered, so he turned back to Mobius. "Doctor, should we buy some too?"
However, Mobius lowered her head without answering...
"Hm? Doctor!"
Ling Xi called Mobius again.
"Burp..."
Mobius let out an alcoholic burp, then raised her head and looked at Ling Xi with unfocused eyes. Her cheeks were slightly red as she smiled. "Ling Xi, so you were burp... here. Hehe, I found you, my... little white burp... mouse!"
Ling Xi: "???"
Klein slapped a hand against her forehead. Sure enough...
The Ultimate Technique: Snake Shedding!
"Uh... Doctor, are you... all right?"
Seeing Mobius like this, Ling Xi instantly thought of something. After all... this had happened twice already!
"No!"
Mobius huffed. "How could I be all right when you won't even hug me?"
As she spoke, Mobius held her arms out to Ling Xi. "Quick, hug me!"
Ling Xi: "..."
Klein: "..."
Danzhu: "..."
"Uh... Well, I still have something to do, so I'll be heading back first. Hehe, hehe, bye!"
To avoid being silenced the next day, Danzhu promptly fled...
"Eh..."
Klein seemed like she wanted to say something, but in the end, she could only quietly tell Ling Xi, "Doctor's room is the first room on the second floor. Take Doctor upstairs to rest..."
"I..."
Ling Xi glanced at Mobius and hesitated. Entering Mobius's room so casually could very well get him silenced, even if she was his future wife.
No, he had to bring Klein along. Otherwise...
"Klein, how about you..."
Ling Xi turned back to Klein, intending to ask her to help him take Mobius upstairs, but... where was Klein in the hall now?
Ling Xi: "..." Damn it, were you two worthy of the milk tea I treated you to?
"Ling Xi, Ling Xi, Ling Xi!"
Meanwhile, seeing that Ling Xi was ignoring her, Mobius unhappily kept calling his name.
"I'm here, I'm here, Doctor!"
Ling Xi hurriedly turned back and moved close to Mobius. This snake really seemed to be drunk, and the first rule of communicating with drunk people was... never try to reason with them...
"Why are you calling me Doctor? You should call me..."
