"Hiss!" The female assistant gasped. It was those twin sisters? It must be. Only the two of them could pique Eden's interest so much, otherwise Eden wouldn't have run off like that. But, why did Eden act so quickly?
"No wonder, no wonder," the female assistant thought, feeling that she had discovered the truth.
No wonder Eden didn't go up to contact the twin sisters at noon; he must have guessed or found out they would be at the concert.
Then, when they came to the concert, Eden took the opportunity to contact them.
"I don't dare to think about what will happen next!"
Although the female assistant wanted to help Eden find out what kind of people the twin sisters were, she never expected that Eden would take the initiative so proactively.
"What don't you dare to think about?"
Eden walked into the lounge and heard what the female assistant said.
"Sister Eden, when are you planning to take them back? And then..."
The female assistant realized that the die was cast, so she simply ignored it and instead asked Eden a question with great curiosity. At the same time, the female assistant raised her hand and tapped in the air.
"What are you thinking?!" A blush flashed across Eden's cheeks for a moment, but he quickly covered it up.
"It seems you know quite a lot, Sister Eden," the female assistant chuckled, covering her mouth. She had thought Eden, whom she had known since childhood, was an innocent girl, but she hadn't expected Eden to know so much.
"I understand? What do you mean I understand? I don't understand!" Eden quickly turned around, not daring to look at his assistant, who was his friend.
Eden didn't know why he was so fascinated by the girl named Alicia.
"Oh dear, it's no big deal. You're not a local, Eden," the female assistant laughed.
“But she goes to school here,” Eden replied instinctively.
"Oh, Eden, it seems you've found out everything."
"The concert is about to start! I'm off!"
Eden dashed out of the lounge.
When the concert started, many audience members noticed that Eden seemed to be performing very well and seriously, and his complexion was even slightly rosy.
What does this have to do with the pink-haired girl cheering for Eden in the audience?
Chapter 317 Morning (5)
Early in the morning, the students of the Mechanical Engineering Department of St. Freya College arrived at the classroom early. Just before the class bell rang, the professor of the Mechanical Engineering Department walked into the classroom.
"Let's begin the lesson now," the professor said without hesitation, and started lecturing immediately.
During the lecture, the professor looked among the students, intentionally or unintentionally, but he found nothing.
'Strange, isn't Wei here?'
The professor was puzzled and planned to ask the student after class, since the student's talent in mechanical engineering was truly outstanding.
Soon, the morning class was over. The second class was also taught by the professor, but it wouldn't be held in the classroom. Mechanical engineering students have their own mechanical workshop, which, although small, is enough for students to try things out or make small things.
After class, the professor called out to a student.
"Isn't Vilvie here today?" the professor asked.
"I'm sorry, Professor, I haven't seen Vivi since school yesterday. I don't know where she went, and she hasn't replied in the group chat either," the student replied.
“Ask Wilvie’s roommate,” the professor said, frowning.
The students then asked in the Mechanical Engineering Department's group chat if anyone had the contact information for Wilvi's roommate, inquiring about Wilvi's whereabouts.
Soon after, there were replies in the group chat.
"Professor, neither of Vilvi's roommates have seen her. Vilvi didn't return to the dormitory last night." The student noticed the professor's serious expression as soon as he finished speaking.
"Professor, has something happened to Vivi?" the student asked nervously in a low voice.
The mechanical engineering students all had a deep impression of Velvi. Although she was usually quiet and seemed somewhat timid, she became very confident and assertive when it came to mechanical engineering. She was indeed extremely talented and capable in this field, which even attracted recruitment offers from many prestigious universities and research institutes.
However, Vivi rejected all of those offers and continued to study mechanical engineering at St. Freya Academy.
In addition, Vilvie is a rare female student in the Mechanical Engineering Department. She is beautiful, has a good figure, and has a strange but not unpleasant personality. She is the most beautiful girl in the Mechanical Engineering Department and is admired by many students.
Although Vervi is indeed very beautiful, it is her hands-on skills and mechanical talent that have impressed so many mechanical engineering students, rather than her looks.
"Go and confirm whether Velvi really didn't come back last night. I'll contact the school."
The professor immediately called the school's security office after he finished speaking.
Upon seeing this, the students realized something was wrong and quickly contacted other students in the Department of Mechanical Engineering to quietly search for where Vilvi had gone.
Shortly after, the professor received news from the security office that no suspicious persons had come to St. Freya Academy the previous night. The school's security guards were all retired elites, and with their capabilities, the professor believed that no suspicious persons would appear without being discovered.
"Vilvie should be alright, but we don't know where she went. Let's go look for her." The professor breathed a slight sigh of relief, but he wasn't completely relaxed. What if something was wrong?
“I’ve already asked the other students to look for someone,” the student immediately replied.
Fortunately, the professor and students received the message at the same time a few minutes later. The professor received the message from the security department. They quickly checked the surveillance footage and saw that after class last night, Wilvey did not return to the dormitory, but went to the mechanical workshop of the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
The students received the message from other mechanical engineering students. Some students had already arrived at the mechanical workshop after class and happened to see Vivi in the workshop when they learned that they were looking for her.
"Professor, Vivi is in the workshop." The student showed the professor his phone. On the screen was a photo sent by a student in the workshop. Vivi was asleep on the workshop's workbench. Around her were many different kinds of mechanical parts, as well as many seemingly unfinished mechanical works.
Seeing Wilvi's peaceful sleeping face, stained with a little oil, the professor finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Let's go! Let's see what she's up to!" The professor then walked towards the mechanical workshop with a stern face and an aura that kept strangers at bay.
The students quickly followed suit.
At this moment, the students from the Department of Mechanical Engineering had already gathered at the entrance of the Mechanical Workshop, but they did not go in to disturb Vervie.
"Sigh, how many machines did Vilvie make in the workshop last night? There are just so many finished and unfinished machines!"
"It looks very sophisticated, but I have absolutely no idea what it can do. It's so strange."
"The difference between people is truly greater than that between dogs; Velvi is simply too much of a genius."
"But what's the point of all those machines she made? They seem completely useless."
"I've looked at the things inside. Many of the machines do seem to have power sources, but the power modules are empty and very strange; I can't understand them at all."
When the professor arrived at the mechanical workshop, he happened to hear the students' discussion, which made him wonder what inspiration Vilvie had had yesterday, and what she had tinkered with.
But the professor didn't show anything; he simply opened the door to the mechanical workshop with a stern face.
The morning sunlight streamed through the gate into the machine workshop, illuminating most of the interior. The girl, who was sleeping on the workbench, stirred slightly in the sunlight.
The girl's sleeping face in the sunlight stunned the mechanical engineering students.
The professor cleared his throat a few times.
All the students immediately stood at attention, half looking up at the sky and the other half looking down to count the ants.
Vilvi remained fast asleep, making no sound.
The professor's cough grew much louder.
Finally, Velvi slowly opened her eyes, her beautiful white eyes fading to pink, looking somewhat dazed. She looked up, but the sunlight stung her eyes, causing her to squint. Was there a figure in front of her?
After a moment, Vervi's eyes adjusted to the sunlight and she could see the figure in front of her clearly.
“Uh…” Virvi paused for a moment, then quickly stood up.
"Professor...!"
She said this with a hint of nervousness, then lowered her head, looking incredibly soft and gentle.
"What did you do last night?!" the professor asked authoritatively.
"After school, I had some inspiration, so I went to the workshop and made some things. Before I knew it, I fell asleep," Wilvi answered honestly.
"Why didn't you report it to me? Do you know how scary it was to be missing for one night? You should be more careful," the professor said as he walked into the workshop and patted Wilvi's shoulder earnestly.
“I…I understand,” Wilvi said, her head bowed.
Seeing this, the professor sighed inwardly and didn't say anything more. After all, it wasn't a big deal; it was just that the student had suddenly had an idea and wanted to tinker with something, which was why he had been working on it day and night.
The professor then looked at the various mechanical devices scattered throughout the workshop, but he was puzzled as to why he couldn't figure out what they could do.
"What are these things used for?" the professor asked casually.
To the surprise of the professor and students, Velvi suddenly froze upon hearing this. Looking at the mechanical equipment on the workshop floor, Velvi was suddenly filled with immense fear and dread, and tears unknowingly streamed down her face.
She recalled her terrifying nightmare from the previous night, a world filled with disaster and despair. Even with her exceptional talent, she was powerless to stop the horrific catastrophe from striking, and far too many people died.
In her dream, she considered herself a genius, but she couldn't do anything.
"I...I don't know..." Velvi trembled, tears streaming down her face. She had no idea what these things were for, whether they were for testing or collecting something. Velvi didn't even understand how she had made them.
Wilvi felt that last night's dream should have been just a nightmare, but it was too unforgettable and too heart-wrenching.
The professor and students were all startled and rushed over to ask what was wrong, but Wilvie remained stunned and kept crying.
It's wonderful to live in such a peaceful era.
Looking at her young and inexperienced classmates who cared about her, a strange thought arose in Wilvi's mind, leaving her at a loss. What was wrong with her?
"Quickly, call the school doctor over immediately!" The professor made a decisive decision and immediately had the students contact the school doctor.
Then the professor asked someone to contact Wilvi's roommates and ask them to take a day off to take care of Wilvi. Now Wilvi looks like a fragile porcelain doll, which really makes the professor and many students feel heartbroken and distressed.
A few minutes later, the school doctors rushed to the workshop in an on-campus ambulance and took Velvet to the affiliated hospital next to St. Freya Academy for a check-up. The professor also accompanied them nervously, fearing that something might happen to Velvet.
During the examination, the professor was constantly on edge. He never imagined that his words would cause Wilvie to turn into that state. He felt guilty and wondered what had happened to Wilvie.
A short while later, the hospital doctor came out of the ward.
"Hello Professor, there's nothing seriously wrong with student Vilvie's health; she just needs to get some rest," the doctor said directly.
"Are you sure everything's alright?" the professor asked quickly.
"No, she's not. She's in good health. She was just having a lot of emotional ups and downs. A few doses of medicine will do the trick. By the way, please make sure not to put too much pressure on her," the doctor said before leaving.
At this time, Wilvi's roommates, the student representative from the Mechanical Engineering Department, and the vice president of the student council all arrived at the hospital. St. Freya Academy was very concerned about Wilvi, this mechanical genius girl. Upon hearing that she had been admitted to the hospital, they immediately sent people to investigate what had happened and to check on Wilvi's condition.
The professor led his men into Vervi's hospital room, where Vervi was lying in bed, looking out the window.
"Vilvie, you should rest for a few days. You can come back to class later. Just be careful not to overwork yourself. I'll have your roommates take turns taking leave to look after you. Also..." The professor's caring words warmed Wilvie's heart.
"Yes, Wilvi must take good care of herself."
"Just listen to the professor for the next couple of days and get some rest."
"The school will take care of everything for you. Just get some rest. By the way, do you want to tell your parents about this?"
Wilvi's roommates, student representatives from the Mechanical Engineering Department, and the vice president of the student union all spoke to Wilvi.
"You don't need to tell my parents. I'm fine now, and I'll get some rest!"
Velvi took a deep breath and gave the professor and the others a bright smile.
All of this is wonderful.
Strange thoughts resurfaced in Vervi's mind, but she quickly dismissed today's events as an accident and forgot all about last night's nightmare.
She is living a good and happy life now.
Chapter 318 Morning (6)
In the morning, in a simple room, just as the alarm clock was about to ring at 5 o'clock, a long, strong hand reached out and pressed down on the alarm clock, turning it off.
Qianjie opened his eyes and got out of bed. He was still wearing the strange mask on his face. He walked to the bedside and opened the curtains. The sky was still dark, but some figures and lights could already be seen on the street not far away.
After glancing at it a few times, Qianjie turned around and took off his pajamas, revealing his muscular body. He opened the wardrobe, where almost all the clothes were the same style. Qianjie casually grabbed a few pieces of clothing and changed into them.
After changing his clothes, he turned on the induction cooker on the small table, then went to the small refrigerator in the room, took out a few eggs, and made himself a simple breakfast.
After finishing breakfast in silence, Qianjie left the rented room.
He rented a single room on the first floor of a villa, and when Qianjie walked out of the room, it was still quiet.
However, just as he was about to leave, he heard footsteps coming from the stairs.
An old man was coming down the stairs when he noticed Qianjie preparing to leave and greeted him with a smile.
"Still up so early, young man?"
"Hmm, good morning," Qianjie turned around and nodded, his voice rather indifferent.
However, the old man didn't mind. In his opinion, the foreign lad named Qianjie only looked cold, but was actually a very warm and kind person.
"Take care when you go out," the old man said with a smile.
"Know"
