"I'm just ordinary classmates with her."
Ling Xi was genuinely speechless. If he hadn't known Seele's nationality, he might really have thought she came from some vinegar-loving province in Shenzhou. The sourness... was overwhelming.
"Hmph, someone once said Mobius was just an ordinary colleague too."
Seele merely curled her lips and continued sipping her milk tea.
"..."
Ling Xi opened his mouth, but he no longer wanted to explain. There was simply no way to explain this. As for ordinary colleagues...
Mm... as long as they hadn't gotten their marriage certificate, they were ordinary colleagues. Yep, absolutely!
"Well then, I'll head back and rest first. Bye-bye..."
Another ten minutes later, downstairs from Seele's dormitory, Seele waved to Ling Xi before turning and heading upstairs.
"Yeah, see you tomorrow, Seele!"
Ling Xi waved back as well, seeing Seele off...
"Sigh..."
Afterward, he let out a helpless sigh. Wasn't he supposed to come clear up the misunderstanding with Seele today? But judging from the current situation, the misunderstanding had obviously only gotten worse!
What Ling Xi was thinking about now was how to explain things to his Doctor, and... how he would explain them to Seele in the future.
He should go discuss this with Doctor. After all, no matter how one looked at it, this really was his fault, so...
He wouldn't run away. If he had made a mistake, he had to be prepared to bear the consequences himself!
Doctor, I Just Met with Seele...
"Doo-woo..."
The familiar sound effect, the familiar check-in!
The familiar lobby, but the familiar Klein was nowhere to be seen.
Of course, Ling Xi knew what Klein had gone off to do. She had probably gone to find people from the other laboratories. After all, they were among Mobius's evacuation targets too.
Without lingering,
