Mu Le licked his lips, and some moist breath sprayed between his neck.
Her hair made him a little itchy, and Gu Mingyuan tilted his head, just in time to avoid Mu Le's eager teeth.
Mu Le looked at his skin with a little regret.
Gu Mingyuan turned his head and met her gaze: "...?"
Mu Le was not the type of person who would worry about the future. After being comforted by Gu Mingyuan, she no longer cared about any earth-shattering flags and just wanted to be clingy and act coquettish with him again.
She whispered, "Will Yuanyuan be scared?"
Gu Mingyuan: “…Yes.”
He lowered his head and stroked Mu Le's cheek with his fingers, outlining her increasingly prominent facial features. "But I will prevent the things that scare me from really happening."
Gu Mingyuan's eyes were deep, as if he was hinting at something.
Mu Le hugged his arms and sighed to himself: "Is this the world of the strong?"
Gu Mingyuan: “Hmm?”
"Nothing, nothing." Mu Le scratched his head, "Should I continue to look at this scanned copy? In fact, I think I'm about to figure out something..."
If things were what she thought...
That's kind of funny.
Gu Mingyuan lowered his eyes and looked at the computer on her wrist.
It stays on, which is proof that a background program is running.
His fingers dropped down and inadvertently pressed on the computer, closing the background program.
"Don't look at it," he said. "It hurts your eyes."
Mu Le: "Oh..."
Gu Mingyuan's attitude suddenly reminded her of something.
I don’t know if it’s because, during this period of rapid growth, she has been taken care of by Gu Mingyuan, so her lifestyle and eating habits are much better than before…
Both her figure and skin are much better than when she was 18 years old on Earth.
Sixteen or seventeen is the time when acne occurs. She couldn't avoid it even when she was in high school. For this reason, she usually kept bangs and walked with her head down, for fear that others would see the acne on her forehead.
Now my skin is good, I am more confident than before, my smile is brilliant, and I look much more beautiful.
This is probably what the legend says... becoming a better version of yourself.
Mu Le thought silently.
She leaned softly against Gu Mingyuan for a while. Gu Mingyuan stood up, looked at her, and asked softly, "Would you like to have dinner?"
Mu Le touched his belly: "Hmm!"
See, it’s really healthy.
Three meals a day are always on time.
Gu Mingyuan ordered dinner and went upstairs to work out while the butler robot was preparing it.
They usually do their own things before and after dinner, so Mu Le didn't disturb him. But when she looked at his route, she couldn't help but sigh that Gu Mingyuan was really energetic.
When she was in her twenties, she felt tired and sleepy every day and had no energy to go to the gym every day.
Gu Mingyuan is indeed full of energy, but no matter how much he exercises, he still feels very restless.
He took a shower and the water temperature kept dropping.
When he finally went out to have dinner with Mu Le, he was still damp and cold.
Mu Le bit his fork and ate his meal obediently, unaware of anything happening.
…
The next few days passed peacefully.
Because Mu Le had to attend classes on weekdays, Gu Mingyuan made an appointment with her to take her to read the original materials of the book on the weekend.
At this time, Mu Le was no longer so excited.
From the title and the blurry first chapter, she had roughly guessed the true identity of the book—
Mu Le thought it was a light novel.
Pretty standard, Japanese light novel.
It may be of no use after reading it, and after being translated, the orc friends on the planet may think: Earthlings are so boring!
… After all, light novels are not suitable for cultural research, and even less suitable for being displayed in museums.
Let's just pretend nothing happened.
The school days were no different from before. Every day I listened to Er Te's chatter, talked with Xiang Fei about the latest interstellar language test papers and interesting books, and talked with other little sisters about the beautiful clothes that were popular on the planet recently...
During a normal lunch break, I would either go home to eat or go to the Ancient Studies Society to read books and do exercises.
Two days later, Kong Yu'an joined her in doing exercises.
This kid really wants to be admitted to Capital University, and he studies much more seriously than usual.
Even so, his accuracy in homework couldn't improve dramatically. When he sat with Mu Le to do homework, he always felt humiliated by her.
Mu Le looked extremely innocent.
The next day, Gu Mingzhou also joined their team of doing exercises.
As the oldest contestant present, Gu Mingzhou was very nervous every time he did a question. He felt that if one of the contestants present surpassed him, he would lose face and kill himself.
In the blink of an eye, it's the weekend.
Gu Mingyuan had some things to do in the laboratory and couldn't take Mu Le to the museum right away.
Mule expressed his understanding.
She originally planned to do some questions for fun at home, but Gu Mingyuan asked her: Do you want to go to the laboratory together
Of course Mu Le agreed, and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay."
The lab is so much fun, and Gu Mingyuan’s classmates are all very interesting.
Mu Le got in his car and happily headed for Capital University.
The first time is unfamiliar, and when he came to the Capital University laboratory again, Mu Le already knew where to sit and where to stay away.
Whatever you can touch, it’s best to be a hundred or eighty meters away from it.
She didn't have the authority to enter the innermost part of the laboratory where the precision instruments were placed. She just stood outside and took a quick look, and she felt that the cutting-edge technology of the new era might be born here...
Because those instruments are so precise and a little dust can change their accuracy, you must undergo safety training and put on a clean and tidy lab coat before entering.
The lab coat is a complete set, including clothes, masks, shoe covers and gloves. After putting it on, you are covered from head to toe, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
Gu Mingyuan was used to wearing a white coat-like outer layer between his clothes and lab coat. It was disposable and thrown away after use.
Mu Le just found out about this.
She remembered that when he came to see her a few days ago, he was carrying a white coat in his hand... How anxious was he? He didn't even have time to throw something away
Mu Le wanted to laugh secretly.
She sat outside the laboratory and watched Gu Mingyuan put on his lab coat and go into the inner room.
Mule also has a new discovery -
Also wearing lab coats, most of the other orcs looked bulging, with only a pair of eyes showing, which even looked a bit funny and cute.
Everyone was wearing the same clothes and looked like a group of exactly the same people.
But she just felt that Gu Mingyuan was different from others.
He is taller, has better-looking eyes, brighter eyes, a straighter back, and longer legs...
Well, anyway, everything about it is special.
Mu Le could watch him do experiments all day long.
However, Gu Mingyuan did not really let her watch for the whole day. He came out after only an hour. Before leaving, he handed over the work in his hands to his classmate.
Mu Le looked at him doubtfully: "Aren't you going to continue?"
Gu Mingyuan has taken off his lab coat.
He stood in front of Mu Le, took off his mask, and answered her: "No more."
Mu Le: "Hmm? Then..."
She watched Gu Mingyuan take off his white coat in front of her. The shirt underneath stuck to his body as he moved. His muscles bulged, and his curves were so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off him.
Mu Le: “…”
She forgot what she was going to ask.
Gu Mingyuan was also somewhat helpless.
Mu Le sat outside and watched, not concentrating on anything he did.
I always feel like there is something itchy hidden in my heart, growing quietly in a place that cannot be scratched.
I don't know how to stop the itching.
This feeling was most obvious when his eyes touched her white arms and thighs.
He looked away and went to hold her hand as usual.
Mu Le placed her hand in his large palm, gently hooked his fingers together, and regained some of her rationality: "Then shall we go to the museum now?"
"… Okay." Gu Mingyuan said, "I'll go talk to the professor first."
Mu Le nodded obediently.
The professor was reading documents in his office that day and didn't come to the lab. Gu Mingyuan held Mu Le's hand and walked all the way to the professor's office.
The last time he came, Mu Le was still in his arms, like his sister... or maybe a child.
This time, she was holding Gu Mingyuan's hand and following closely behind him.
Although I can't even reach his shoulders...
But she more or less looks like a little girlfriend.
Mu Le watched Gu Mingyuan greet people passing by. Some of those people looked familiar, probably someone he had seen last time.
Their expressions were even more terrified than when they first saw Mu Le.
They arrived at the professor's office door.
Gu Mingyuan pressed the doorbell, and after a few seconds, the office door slowly opened.
Mu Le had discovered before that everything in Capital University was like a high-end version of its affiliated high school... Now looking at the office again, it seemed to be a high-end version as well.
The golden retriever, or maybe a Labrador professor, was sitting behind a desk with a light screen floating in front of him.
He saw Gu Mingyuan, dragged the light screen to the other side, blinked, and asked gently: "What happened?"
"No." Gu Mingyuan said, "It's like this..."
He spoke a lot of professional terms, and Mu Le felt dizzy and couldn't understand what he was talking about.
The professor nodded: "Oh, that's great. Your progress is much faster than I thought..."
"There is one more thing." Gu Mingyuan said, "I need to take a leave today, so I won't follow up."
The professor widened his eyes in surprise: "Is it possible? Today is the most..."
Gu Mingyuan interrupted him: "Okay."
The professor was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at the girl next to him.
… This girl looks familiar.
Since the professor never asked about students' private lives, he didn't pay much attention to it.
Now I looked closely and finally remembered why it looked familiar.
—Isn’t this the little girl that Gu Mingyuan held in his arms last time!
I didn't expect it to be this big...
No wonder they were doing the child bride thing, it turns out dragons can develop so fast
The professor turned off the screen and said slowly, "That's fine... since you have made up your mind. What are you going to do with your girlfriend? If there is anything you need my help with..."
Mu Le was stunned.
Gu Mingyuan tightened his grip on her hand slightly.
The two people have become closer these days, but neither of them has broken this relationship and said anything further.
Mu Le didn't know what Gu Mingyuan was thinking, but she did it on purpose.
This deliberately maintained relationship, a hazy layer of protection... was easily pierced by the professor's word "girlfriend".
The author has something to say: Professor: … … What’s wrong with them? Did I say something wrong? Isn’t the girlfriend the fiancée
