Ren Zhong's lips twitched, feeling a bit speechless; it felt like a parent picking him up and dropping him off for school.
He shook his head, "No need, I have plans tonight."
Zhou Ya: "Who?"
Ren Zhong: "My old flame, Xiao Xingyue. She's the assistant to Ying Hao, the chairman of Source Star Military Industry. Is there a problem?"
Zhou Ya: "No... no problem. I'll see you tomorrow then."
"Yes, see you tomorrow."
After bidding farewell to Zhou Ya, Ren Zhong turned toward the academy's white marble gate.
His thoughts drifted back to the time he discussed the "Blank Paper Civilization Theory" with Xiao Xingyue in the old timeline.
Yesterday's negotiations were too packed for him to chat with Xiao Xingyue about life, but he needed to make up for it today, to lure her back onto the ship.
Passing through the gate, two scanning lasers shot from the left and right doorways, quickly scanning his face and confirming his identity.
