The Master's Mask Unveiled Again-Chapter 1011 - 1010: Mianmian, Do You Want a Child?

Before she could figure it out, the man suggested, "I need to visit your university’s physics lab soon for an experiment on a new topic I came up with. Why don’t you come with me?"

"What’s the topic?" Lu Mian’s interest was piqued.

She knew that any topic that earned Director Qimo’s attention was bound to be profound and fascinating.

Xiao Qimo smiled mysteriously. "It’s a secret for now. I’ll tell you later. Will you accompany me?"

"Sure." Lu Mian laughed. "So, this time are you going to be my classmate again?"

"No, I’ll be your family member." Xiao Qimo was adamant about not dropping his fiancé persona and vigilantly defended every bit of his rights.

The two exchanged a smile; a gentle breeze passed by, and time seemed peaceful and serene.

On their way back from their walk, they happened to encounter a nanny holding an eight-day-old newborn baby heading for a bath.

The nanny took the initiative to stop when she saw Lu Mian and greeted her respectfully.

With Jing Heng and the others no longer in the Chixia Sect, the atmosphere had become exceptionally harmonious.

"Is this the little girl?" Lu Mian pointed at the tiny bundle in the nanny’s arms, tender and soft like a small blob.

The last time she had seen a newborn baby was at Sister Yuren’s place.

Seeing a newborn again this time, Lu Mian wasn’t as nervous but still didn’t dare to hold or touch her.

The nanny reassured her with a laugh, saying it was fine as long as the baby’s body was supported properly.

However, Lu Mian still declined with a smile. She felt like she carried too much negativity, and the baby probably wouldn’t like her.

But this little girl seemed to sense something; her tiny hand extended from the swaddling and inadvertently grabbed onto one of Lu Mian’s fingers.

The soft, warm touch, carrying a faint milky scent, struck a tender chord deep in Lu Mian’s heart.

She gazed at the little one with a gentle expression, eyes meeting eyes, and smiled foolishly.

Xiao Qimo, noticing the warmth in her profile, tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and softly asked, "Mianmian, do you want a child?"

Lu Mian turned back, startled.

Facing Xiao Qimo’s gaze, so full of expectation, Lu Mian furrowed her brows. "Director Qimo, are you thinking of adopting this baby? But, Yuanyuan really seems to like her little sister..."

"..." Xiao Qimo pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. "Forget it. Let’s go."

He figured if they had a child, it would probably grow up as a hopelessly oblivious little one.

He was fuming inside.

"Oh." Lu Mian gently pulled her finger away and bid farewell to the nanny.

Walking behind Xiao Qimo, she quietly observed his tall, strong figure, her mind sketching his silhouette, and she chuckled softly.

A child of hers and Director Qimo’s...

Would probably be even cuter than that baby girl.

——

The ten days of military training passed quickly. Qing University’s students completed this not-too-difficult training filled with fun and laughter, gaining all-around physical and skill enhancements.

All students returned to Qing University.

That day was the first day of classes for Qing University’s freshmen.

Shu Shu had woken her roommates early, insisting they couldn’t be late for their first lecture, which was Professor Kang Hongbin’s class.

Lu Mian lazily got her things together as well, but on the way to the teaching building, she naturally parted ways with Shu Shu.

"Mianmian, where are you going?"

Lu Mian pointed to the campus across the overpass. "I’m heading to the Elite Class."

"Elite Class?"

"Yep."

Lu Mian nodded casually. "I signed up for a second major. See you."

Shu Shu stood there watching as Lu Mian nonchalantly walked away. Signing up for a second major sounded as simple and straightforward as attending a preschool class in her tone.

Hugging her books tightly, Shu Shu pulled out her phone to snap a few pictures of Lu Mian’s retreating figure.

This was the aura of a legend!

University had just started, and she was already picking up a second major. What’s more, her second major was in the coveted Elite Class that students nationwide fought tooth and nail to get into.

Meanwhile, over in the Elite Class, the atmosphere was bustling.

For their first-ever university lecture, all twenty-nine students had arrived early, picked their seats, and started chatting.

Most of the conversations centered on their lecturers for this semester.

Once the course schedule was distributed by the class monitor, everyone skimmed over the names of their lecturers. What they saw left them stunned—every single one of their lecturers this semester was an academician-level professor!

Academicians!

Having one or two could be considered lucky, but all of their courses were being taught by academicians!

The Elite Class students were in awe; this was enormously significant to them.

"Compared to the last batch, our cohort’s professors are way more outstanding!"

"Of course! That’s because our year is the most exceptional yet. Regular professors couldn’t handle us; only academicians are qualified to teach us."

"Hahaha, this level of prestige is unparalleled! No other class could possibly have this honor; it’s unique to our Elite Class!"

"Well, that’s because we’re now the school’s priority class!"

The Elite Class students were thrilled with the arrangement, knowing it guaranteed the highest course quality while affirming the university’s immense regard for their cohort.

Elsewhere, Lu Yutian, having left the Chixia Sect, was deliberately trying to erase that awkward memory. Being the only girl in the class, the boys didn’t seem to mind the incident.

Lu Yutian joined their chatter, enthusiastically discussing which academicians specialized in which fields. If anyone was interested in a particular field, they could follow the professor for further in-depth research.

Eventually, Lu Yutian sighed with emotion, "If only Professor Mou Taohui would allow freshmen to start independent research projects!"

"Yutian, you’ve already prepared your research topic this early? That’s insanely fast!"

Classes hadn’t even officially begun, yet here she was, thinking far ahead into her junior year.

In a class filled with top students, such ambition wasn’t rare, but for Lu Yutian to have thought about research topics even before the first lecture was downright impressive.

Lu Yutian smiled humbly. "I’m just doing random research."

"With so many academician professors mentoring us this time, there’s a chance we might actually get to start research topics early!"

Hearing this, a spark flashed in Lu Yutian’s eyes. That would be even better—it’d allow her to seize this opportunity to work on upgrading the Doors System and improving the robot system.

As the chatter carried on, and the class neared its start, someone finally exclaimed, "Why are we still only twenty-nine people? Is the last student even going to show up?"

"I just want to know who they are. What kind of VIP status must they have to still be absent at this point!"

A boy who had been chatting with Lu Yutian rolled his eyes, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "Maybe they think our Elite Class isn’t worth their time."
