Chapter 101
[As for An Yu... An Yu is watching a movie with the Doctor, but it's not Predator, of course.]
A light rain was falling, carrying a hint of early spring chill. An Yu was still wondering whether Mobius would keep his appointment.
In the misty rain, a figure stood quietly under a large black umbrella. The doctor wore a spotless white coat and a simple short skirt. Her long, slender legs were pressed together and neatly covered by semi-transparent black stockings, making her temperament even more aloof... She was expressionless.
Don't ask. If you do, it just means you're unwilling. If you ask again, you'll start looking down on me with disdain.
Mobius was by no means an innocent little girl; she was well aware of the advantages of her appearance, but she rarely wasted her precious time on it.
Yes, this time she came to reject An Yu.
"Long time no see, Doctor."
Without the slightest movement, Mobius suddenly noticed a slight increase in warmth beside her. She glanced to the side and saw that the boy had quietly stood aside, naturally folding his dripping umbrella.
Mobius stared at the umbrella in the boy's hand. "You're ten minutes later than me."
"I'm sorry, I've been hesitating for a while now."
"Hesitate?"
"I was thinking, I've disturbed you for a full three hours, Doctor. I hope that human civilization won't be destroyed in the future because of these three hours."
His voice carried a hint of melancholy and sentimentality.
The boy's feigned heavy melancholy made Mobius unable to resist, and, being a bit silly, she couldn't help but laugh.
The two arrived at a nearby movie theater that was still open. Although Elysia was busy fighting battles all over the country, it didn't affect everyone's lives.
Moreover, Elysia doesn't actually do anything to ordinary people. It's a new era, sir, now... it's the era of the Honkai.
"Sorry, the previous match wasn't over yet."
The ticket seller has a sweet smile.
The two of them arrived 50 minutes early. Mobius's punctuality caught An Yu off guard, so they had no choice but to sit and wait.
An Yu didn't mind. Although Mobius was dressed very beautifully, Mobius would skillfully sit in the corner, and An Yu would skillfully sit to the side as well.
What kind of ticket did you buy?
"A sci-fi blockbuster."
"A sci-fi blockbuster?"
Mobius repeated himself, then hesitated, "Huh?"
"I've wanted to come for a long time! But it would be too awkward to come alone. I didn't expect you to agree, Doctor."
An Yu feigned a subtle expression. Of course, since Mobius disagreed, he gave the vote to Hen.
Watching a movie is not the most important thing; what matters is the subtle atmosphere between the two people after the movie, or the fact that both of them are punctual before the movie and have some alone time together.
Mobius hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
An Yu blinked, looking completely innocent.
"Heh, heh heh."
She suddenly chuckled softly, Mobius leaned lazily against the wall. "Really?"
"It's fake," An Yu answered decisively and frankly. "I just wanted to invite the Doctor."
"And... I didn't expect the Doctor to be so accommodating." The boy hesitated, sizing up the Doctor.
He really didn't expect that!
It's incredibly difficult to truly understand someone's heart. If An Yu were so good at judging people, he would already have two children with Elysia in reality, and Kiana would truly just be a cold, aloof ice princess.
However, this time, he did indeed become more adaptable to others in his daily life; psychology isn't actually that unfathomable.
The waiting area was fairly warm. Mobius curled up slightly, his eyes a little hazy with relaxation. "I was wondering how to refuse you."
"And now?"
"Still thinking about it."
Will you keep thinking about it?
Mobius glanced at the boy, his mind racing, and said, "Probably not."
She's too busy; she has too many important things to consider.
"Then I'm sorry."
An Yu looked regretful; less than two minutes had passed since the two of them sat down.
Does "not wanting to" necessarily mean "agreeing"?
Mobius countered with a question tinged with a uniquely mischievous glint in his eye.
Without hesitation, An Yu replied, "If the cold and evil doctor were so easy to seduce, how come I'm the only male friend he has by his side right now?"
Mobius tilted his head slightly.
She felt like she was being mocked.
"Then why did you invite me out?"
"I'll gradually adapt to the doctoral program. You just need to continue being yourself."
As always, An Yu answered quickly without hesitation, her eyes bright, ardent yet clear.
What if Mobius agrees?
An Yu then takes the time to kill all the guys who write psychology-related textbooks, and then exposes herself because of Mobius's boyfriend. Finally, before being exposed, she takes everything from the First Laboratory.
Mebius paused for a long time this time, then looked away, her voice regaining its calmness. "Let's talk about this from a different angle. These things are too far removed from my life."
An Yu was indeed adapting to her, because after only four minutes of sitting here, this brief conversation had turned into work, into Stigmata, into Fusion Warrior, into the energy organ of Kalpas.
Mobius smiled easily, his fair palm supporting his chin, his slender fingertips tapping his cheek, and even his usually cold eyes were tinged with a faint smile as he continued to talk to An Yu about this difficult topic.
An Yu stopped talking abruptly and reached out her hand when the screen in the distance changed.
"Let's go, Doctor, we can't afford to lose money on the tickets."
Mobius looked at the boy, then naturally raised his hand and gently grasped it.
"Let's go, let's see the sci-fi blockbuster you chose."
An Yu wasn't sure how good the movie was, but after browsing many forums, he found that this was the only one with a good rating, very few signs of paid trolls, and even a touch of romance, perfectly matching the result of a normal person's careful selection.
While watching the movie, the two chatted casually... but they actually got really into the film.
When they finally walked out of the movie theater side by side, An Yu opened her umbrella first, and Mobius didn't bother to open his own.
"An Yu."
Himeko spoke from a short distance away, her voice utterly calm.
A smile returned to Mobius's lips, as wicked and playful as ever. "Such a young girl, don't you really want to cherish her?"
Mobius was hardly a rigid person; in fact, he was rather wicked.
"Who would like a child?" An Yu's voice was not quiet.
An Yu is not a young person, Mobius knows that no one likes a child they've raised.
Himeko was only nine years old when the man became famous. A little research shows that she was probably adopted even earlier, but... who cares about the art world?
As for the man looking young? She wasn't young either. The man looked youthful and dashing, Mobius looked aloof and cool, so calling them "boy" and "girl" didn't feel awkward.
Mobius looked at Himeko, whose expression remained unchanged, and shook his head. He lowered his voice and said, "I will not change my life."
"No need!" An Yu replied firmly, "Doctor, you be yourself, I'll adapt to you."
Himeko remained expressionless. She wasn't worried about the matter, nor was she afraid of An Yu's insincerity; she was only afraid of Elysia.
Not long ago, the other party's simple explanation made her break out in a cold sweat. She couldn't smile for several days. She didn't admit that it was skill, but luck or timing. Two incompatible people met at the perfect time.
Volume 1: Chapter 150, Page 149: I'll Adapt to You
[Dr. Mobius has indeed changed somewhat; Klein, when not working, tries to fill the void in his heart with gossip.]
[The effect was poor. Once the numbing effect of work wore off, and her brain started working again, thinking about other things brought back a flood of past fears that enveloped her completely.]
[And Klein, who always kept his feelings to himself, noticed her psychological issues when Mayo Bius, who was respecting someone else's choice for the first time.]
Work is likely to slow down again; Klein is slowly moving in her own world, and that little world is crumbling.
[But it's okay, because Elysia isn't here, An Yu can fully adapt to the Doctor and be a scab... Even if Elysia isn't here and he gets caught, he'll accept it.]
[There's always risk involved in doing things. If even this small risk causes problems, it means he lacks information and doesn't understand the level of importance others place on it.]
An Yu said clearly, "Here are the materials you need, Doctor. The experimental data analysis was completed yesterday, and the monthly report is on your right."
Klein was very efficient at work. An Yu never denied his own learning and adaptability, but he really couldn't keep up with Klein's relentless work efficiency in a short period of time.
This can't be human! It's a traitor!
Mobius seemed somewhat distracted.
"Don't worry, you cold and wicked Doctor, that boy Klein has been handed over to the most famous psychiatrist, how could anything possibly happen to him?"
An Yu comforted her.
Mobius gently rubbed his temples. "You should also be mindful of your personal life. Because of the First Laboratory, someone is investigating you, but don't worry, nothing serious will happen."
She's been having too many troubles lately, and yet she's attracting so much attention. △◎]?÷· [[
An Yu nodded, her smile as bright as ever.
Being noticed while standing in the spotlight is a perfectly normal thing.
Unfortunately, the intelligence was still insufficient.
Aponia gently comforted Klein, the power of Discipline forcibly calming the girl down. In a short time, she used external force to forcibly alter Klein's little world.
"It's way too early."
Aponia remarked with emotion, noting that she had been paying close attention to these crucial little details.
Klein's problem came to light quite late, but everyone had been paying attention. Perhaps in An Yu's eyes, this assistant was just an insignificant NPC. After all, Mobius was stubborn but soft-hearted, and usually seemed to be putting pressure on Klein.
How many people are still working in the First Laboratory?
Aponia asked casually, and the answer was simple: Mobius, and someone temporarily brought in to fill in.
She spoke softly, "Could we have another chair for the afternoon meeting?"
It's a very simple matter, not to mention that Aponia's attitude was quite good.
As is well known, Mobius hated meetings.
So...
"How come you have time to attend a meeting like this?"
Mobius was somewhat curious.
Aponia's smile froze for a moment.
[Aponia believed she and the boy had a fairly good understanding; An Yu was still in the stage of exploring the world, so she wouldn't disturb him.] 9
[Before the crucial moment arrives, An Yu will not cause any trouble. Everyone tacitly uses this strange dream to obtain everything they want to know.] Si
[So... let's leave this unspoken understanding as it remains.]
[An Yu was handling work in the First Laboratory; the tasks that should have taken him all night were quickly organized.]
[Then, he lay down on the table, preparing to take a short nap.]
[He roughly understands the concept of the Fusion Warrior, but lacks data. He's still waiting; he certainly won't do something like this without reference data.] 3
[The opportunity came quickly because Kevin was quite enthusiastic about this project. He seemed to really like strength and cared a lot about winning, which was different from Kevin previous performances.]
However, this has nothing to do with tonight.
Noticing the gaze of others, An Yu rubbed her eyes and groggily woke up; Mobius's smile faded slightly.
"It's so nice to see the Doctor the moment I wake up."
After a two-second pause, An Yu smiled purely.
"Time to get off work." (Group chat)
Mobius simply shook his head and casually began tidying up the documents beside him.
