Seems like I completely don’t understand why this man in front of me can so naturally spout such nonsense. Can’t figure it out, the short-haired girl decides to give up thinking and ignore the man beside her. She looks back at Li Fang, grips her arm and lifts her like a chick from her seat. "Come on, don’t waste time here!" Li Fang’s strength is no match for the short-haired girl. Being lifted like that, she has no power to resist and can only follow her tremblingly to the door, turning back to Wen Nan aggrievedly and shaking her head at him. Watching their figures leave, Wen Nan stands up, rights the overturned table beside him, and glances at the table corner, where the golden shimmer has long dissipated. Leaving the cafeteria, Wen Nan returns to Wutong Avenue. As soon as he steps onto the road, Yu Shujun returns to his side, once again walking alongside him. Wen Nan turns his head to glance at the other, finding that Yu Shujun’s face looks much gloomier than before Li Fang appeared. Is the rebellious phase starting again? Thinking back to the overturned table that ruined things between him and Li Fang in the cafeteria, Wen Nan feels he can’t let the little servant act so willfully anymore. He doesn’t mind the little servant ruining his good times; after all, he’s not short of bed | partners or romances. But now he has the main mission on his back, and time is tight, so he can’t let the little servant continue to mess around. "Xiao Jun." Wen Nan calls softly. No response from the other side, not even a glance, quite the temper. Helplessly, Wen Nan adds, "I called you, can you respond?" This was a clear order, Yu Shujun’s face is already gloomy, still doesn’t look at Wen Nan, but reluctantly mutters, "Here, master." Wen Nan continues, "Yesterday you overturned chairs, pulled out lip studs; today, overturned tables. This can happen once, twice, but not a fourth time, or else, I’ll have to bring out that gold pattern." Yu Shujun lowers her eyelashes. Knowing that pretending to be clueless and not admitting her actions have no meaning anymore. Though Wen Nan has never used the golden pattern to coerce her since controlling her, it doesn’t mean he’s given up on the golden pattern’s control function completely. Inwardly resentful, Yu Shujun can’t resist him, eventually saying, "Understood, master." Seeing her expression, Wen Nan shakes his head, "What’s going on? When we did missions before, you always stayed by my side, and you weren’t back then." Hearing this, Yu Shujun’s resentment reaches its peak, unable to keep it bottled up any longer, finally venting out, "In this instance, there’s no need for a strategy character. Why do you have to provoke those female characters one after another? Approaching them, teasing them, flirting with them, holding hands with them, kissing them, is all this so important?" Wen Nan nods seriously, "Yes, these things are that important." Yu Shujun’s face becomes even darker, "More important than the main mission?" Wen Nan realizes she hasn’t understood his situation, "These things are my main mission." Yu Shujun is taken aback, "You..." Recalling the content judgment card Wen Nan had in the test space, combined with his recent actions and words, Yu Shujun suddenly understands, "You set your main mission to sleep with them?!" Wen Nan solemnly corrects her, "Not them, with the [Queen]." Yu Shujun is speechless with shock. How could someone set such a main mission?! But then, thinking about the man in front of her, it suddenly seems quite reasonable. Calming her emotions, Yu Shujun resumes her cold facade, "Because of this, you plan to sleep with them one by one?" Wen Nan nods, "That was the original plan." Yu Shujun thinks to herself, I’m also a female character in this instance, why haven’t you come to me first? But this absurd thought is quickly cleared from her mind by Yu Shujun, just as she’s about to say something, Wen Nan continues: "But thanks to your interference, Lv Qingqing yesterday didn’t succeed, and today Li Fang seems to be out of the question too. A miss on two important suspects." Yu Shujun retorts, "Even if it succeeded with them, it would just be a waste of time." A seemingly casual remark startles Wen Nan, "You know who the [Queen] is?" Yu Shujun’s lips tighten into a line, not answering Wen Nan’s question. Clearly, Yu Shujun isn’t the [Loyalist], and with the current rules of this instance, even if she wanted to, she couldn’t answer Wen Nan. Wen Nan stops asking and continues with Yu Shujun towards the blood donation vehicle’s parking spot. Guan Ailin is still waiting for them there. But just a few steps along, Wen Nan’s "small brick" phone buzzes with a message. It’s a text from Wu Qing: [Ye, sorry, yesterday’s tutoring was interrupted unexpectedly. Are you free this afternoon? Shall we continue?] Wen Nan looks at the text, checks the time, and decides to postpone the tutoring session and return to the blood donation vehicle. However, just as he’s about to put his phone back in his pocket, Yu Shujun suddenly speaks: "Not going to meet up?" Yu Shujun has never been interested in his main mission before, and even if she was, it was always to oppose him. Never before had she asked in a way that seemed to urge him to meet. Wen Nan turns to suspiciously look at Yu Shujun. "You want me to go now?" Wen Nan asks. Yu Shujun lowers her eyes, "Up to you." Putting away the "small brick" phone, Wen Nan turns, "Let’s go, find Mr. Wu, learn!" Wen Nan smoothly arrives at the door of Wang Yajun’s laboratory. Before stepping into the laboratory, he once again sees a familiar figure at the office door inside. This time, it’s not Hu Jiayao, but another [Loyalist]—Yin Zhi’en. Wen Nan steps in, and Yin Zhi’en steps out of Wang Yajun’s office, the two brushing past each other near the outer lab bench. Seeing Wen Nan, Yin Zhi’en immediately stops, approaches him with a smile, and calls out, "Senior," then says, "What a coincidence, you’re here too?" Wen Nan thinks, as a Life Sciences Institute student, it’s not strange for him to be here. But why is a computer science student like you in a biochemical professor’s lab? Seemingly sensing the doubt in Wen Nan’s eyes, Yin Zhi’en explains with a smile, "I found a wallet while having lunch in the nearby cafeteria, and after checking the ID inside, found it belonged to a Life Sciences Institute professor, so I came to return it." As he says this, Yin Zhi’en moves a bit closer to Wen Nan, lowers his voice, and adds, "But your professor here is quite strange. Didn’t speak a word to me throughout, just sat behind the computer desk, only letting that senior speak to me from start to finish." Wen Nan asks, "What did you talk about?" Yin Zhi’en waves his hand dismissively, "Nothing much, just asked about my situation, like a background check. After confirming everything, they thanked me and let me go." Wen Nan wants to ask more, but Wu Qing comes out of the office at this moment, seeing Wen Nan, calls out, "Ye, over here, let’s continue our tutoring in the same meeting room." Yin Zhi’en turns to glance at Wu Qing, then back at Wen Nan, "Senior, you have a tutoring session? I’ll leave then, don’t want to disturb." With that, he quickly leaves the lab. Wen Nan follows Wu Qing into the previous meeting room. As Wu Qing heads to the table, Wen Nan closes the door and locks it. His gaze travels from Wu Qing’s black stockings on the legs slowly to the tight pencil skirt, then to the white blouse accentuating the chest, and finally, Wen Nan looks at her delicate profile. Slowly curling his lips into a smile, Wen Nan is confident that his second main mission is about to end.
