December 27, 167 New Calendar, Sunday, light snow.

Love Diary Update—

[Today is the first day of our relationship. After breakfast, we went to “One Raccoon Hill” and saw the “Tree of Mystical Jade” on the peak. It stood tall amidst the wind and snow, guarding “One Raccoon Hill” together with the robot kitten. Jiejie told me that when spring arrives, all the jade leaves on the tree will change to a different color. I’m looking forward to it.

After leaving “One Raccoon Hill,” we went to pick up Zaozao and took her to the children’s art exhibition. We also took many photos together. This is the first time we have so many photos together, and I plan to make three backup copies.

Later, Jiejie revealed her true identity to Zaozao. Zaozao is really smart. Before Jiejie even spoke, she guessed everything. Although there were a few tears at first, she ended up smiling. Seeing Zaozao so attached to her other mother, I’m very happy.

Tonight, we slept together in the master bedroom on the third floor. As usual, I told Zaozao a bedtime story. Before falling asleep, she happily called out “Mommy” many times. I was infected by her happiness, as if under a spell of eternal smiles. The soft light of the wall lamp fell on them, and I kissed each of them on the cheek. It’s still snowing outside. I will always be by their side. Goodnight.]

Love Time Summary—

[Although it’s only the first day of our relationship, it seems like I like her more and more each day. …Mm, perhaps I can’t use “day” as the unit of measurement, because at this moment, as I’m writing in my diary, the affection in my heart is much stronger than a moment ago ^^]

Important Moments in Love—

Number of times holding hands: Didn’t count carefully on the first day, basically holding hands whenever we were together.

Number of hugs: Six.

Number of kisses: …Haven’t learned yet. If cheek kisses count, then five.

After updating her Love Diary with Kitten on the Four Seasons app, Ming Fei, sitting in the hovercar, was all smiles.

Just then, a video call from Ming Zaozao came in. Ming Fei clicked “answer” on the display screen connected to the terminal, and Ming Zaozao and Zhu Yiqiao, who were in the villa’s dining room, appeared on the screen.

They had just woken up and were having breakfast.

And Ming Fei, because she had morning invigilation duty, had gotten up early. Before leaving, after washing up, she looked at the sleeping faces of Zhu Yiqiao and Ming Zaozao, her heart filled with a feeling called happiness, staring for a full minute before pushing the door open and leaving.

In the video, Ming Zaozao asked crisply, “Mommy, have you had breakfast yet?”

Ming Fei responded softly, “Mm, I have.”

Zhu Yiqiao also looked over. Because she knew Ming Fei’s shy personality, all their communication was hidden in the gazes they exchanged. The smile in Ming Fei’s eyes deepened as she reminded Ming Zaozao to drink her milk, and even asked Ming Zaozao to be a little supervisor, making sure that Zhu Yiqiao finished her breakfast no matter how busy she was with work.

Little Supervisor Zaozao nodded: “Okay!”

After chatting for a bit longer, the hovercar arrived at its destination. Ming Fei took one last look at the two on the display screen, softly saying “See you at home” before ending the video call.

The smile hadn’t yet faded from her face as she got out of the car. Just as she turned around, she saw her friend Li Xing’s hovercar entering the parking garage.

She waited for a minute, and Li Xing, after getting out of the car, also walked towards her.

“Good morning, Teacher Xiao Fei.”

Ming Fei adjusted her light brown scarf: “Morning, have you had breakfast yet?”

“Just a piece of bread, let’s go.”

Li Xing put her phone back in her pocket: “Taiya next door has completely switched to intelligent invigilation, saving time and effort. Our Q University, for humanistic considerations, is one of the few schools still using the traditional teacher invigilation mode.”

Ming Fei nodded, and thinking of something, smiled.

Li Xing, catching her happiness, didn’t tease her, genuinely happy for her friend.

Arriving at the Philosophy Department, they parted ways. Ming Fei walked along Xueyou Road to her own academy. When she reached the office, the service robot happened to deliver the sorted paper exam papers.

She collected the exam papers for her assigned exam room, sat in the office for a while, and when the first bell rang, took the papers and went to Exam Room 207.

Because they were all students from her academy, when the second bell rang, almost everyone had handed in their belongings.

Teacher Ming, wearing her black-framed glasses, gave the usual instructions with a seemingly serious expression: “Please remember, during the exam…”

When the final bell rang, she distributed the exam papers to each student’s desk according to procedure.

Intelligent cameras were installed in every exam room, covering every angle, and would immediately issue a warning if any misconduct was detected. Despite this intelligent and automated setup, the slightly more traditional teacher invigilation mode was still used to deal with various unexpected situations in the exam room, not for surveillance or patrolling.

Therefore, as long as they didn’t disrupt the order of the exam room, the teachers could arrange these two hours as they pleased.

Ming Fei walked around the room twice, confirming that there were no abnormalities, then sat back down at the podium. She maintained her serious demeanor for fifteen minutes, then took out her reader and opened an e-book from the library.

On the Origins of Regensburg was about the customs and culture of Bian.

Ming Fei browsed through the pictures of various scenic spots, her gaze pausing briefly on a certain pattern. According to the notes below the picture, the pattern originated from the Caletian tribe of Bian. This tribe was characterized by the totem on their foreheads. They were tall and skilled in combat, having lived at the southernmost border of the Alliance during the old calendar era, and now belonged to Bian after the split.

Ming Fei studied the pattern for a few more moments.

As she turned to a page with a text image, she suddenly took out the notebook she always carried in her bag and flipped to the page where she had drawn the pattern and characters from the mural at Xinmin Elderly Care Home.

After a detailed comparison, Ming Fei realized that it wasn’t writing at all.

But…

Sunlight streamed in through the window. Because of the objects on the table, the shadow of the characters on the notebook shifted slightly. In a flash, Ming Fei finally remembered why she felt the characters were familiar.

She glanced at the students below, confirming that they were all busy answering the questions, then took out her phone and found a contact whose avatar was a mink.

Seeing that the other person was online, Ming Fei took a picture and sent them a message.

[Jian, long time no see, how are you doing?]

Jian replied quickly.

[I’m doing well. What about you? How are you doing? Our last conversation was when I sent you wedding congratulations.]

Ming Fei continued typing.

[I’m doing well too.]

[I wanted to ask, is this the writing of your tribe?]

Attached was a photo of the characters in her notebook.

Many years ago, when she was a freshman, she had gone to Moli with her teachers to participate in the triennial Cameral Global Robot Competition. At that time, Jian was a student representative from Y University in Moli. Because she liked Ming Fei’s competition entry very much, Jian took the initiative to add her contact information.

Through their brief exchange, she learned that Jian was an immigrant, and her ancestors were from a very ancient race with their own unique language and writing system.

Jian had once shown her a photo of their tribe’s inscription stele, but it was just a hasty glance before they parted.

A minute later, Jian replied.

[Yes.]

[But it’s not writing, it’s a symbol, and it’s upside down. This symbol hasn’t been used for a long time, and I can’t quite understand it either. But my grandmother should know. Do you need me to ask her for you?]

Ming Fei’s eyes lit up.

[Yes, thank you.]

[I’ll have to trouble you.]

Jian sent her a “you’re welcome” emoji, then had to go because of something.

The room was quiet, and Ming Fei’s heart completely calmed down. Another hour passed, and she finished reading the entire On the Origins of Regensburg. There were thirty minutes left until the end of the exam, and only half of the forty candidates remained.

Ming Fei waited patiently, opening another book, Space-Time, Robots, and Seeds.

She glanced at the students after every page she read. Thirty minutes passed in a blink of an eye. When the bell rang, signaling the end of the exam, the last candidate happened to have just handed in their paper early.

The sunlight outside the window was covered by dark clouds. Ming Fei methodically collected the exam papers, putting them into the designated envelope.

The morning’s work ended smoothly, but an accident occurred during the afternoon invigilation. With half an hour left, a student suddenly had a stomachache, sweating profusely from the pain despite the cold weather. Ming Fei sent her to the infirmary, and a robot took over the invigilation duty.

At the infirmary, the school doctor said it was gastroenteritis. Because some medicines had to be taken after meals, Ming Fei went to the cafeteria and bought the student a bowl of plain porridge. It wasn’t until the student’s condition gradually improved, and her good friend also arrived, that Ming Fei said goodbye and left.

The winter days grew dark too quickly.

When she left the infirmary, there was no longer any light in the sky, and twilight covered the entire dome. Ming Fei walked along the lakeside towards the parking garage. After a while, she received a message from Zhu Yiqiao.

[Jiejie: Are you off work?]

Ming Fei quickly replied.

[Mm, just about to go pick up Jiejie.]

[[Kitten getting into a car.jpg]]

Reaching the end of the lakeside, about three hundred meters away from the parking garage, Ming Fei received a call from Zhu Yiqiao. Half of her face was buried in her scarf, and the passing students could only see her smiling almond eyes, not the upward curve of her lips.

She lowered her voice: “Jiejie.”

“Mm.”

Faintly, Ming Fei heard other voices, not Lan Lubai or Min Man, but something that sounded like exclamations. She continued walking forward, her right hand, in a mint green glove, tightly gripping her phone.

“How long until you’re off work, Jiejie?” she asked.

Zhu Yiqiao’s voice became clearer: “Not busy today, I’m already off work.”

Hearing this, Ming Fei quickened her pace: “Then I have to hurry.”

There was a fork in the road ahead. A rabbit snowman holding a carrot was piled up beside the path. Ming Fei quickly bypassed the snowman, and a bright green color filled her vision, followed by the spring that seemed to have arrived just for her.

—It was Zhu Yiqiao.

The streetlights on campus had already been turned on, light particles dancing in the air. Looking at Zhu Yiqiao, who had suddenly appeared before her eyes, Ming Fei’s heart pounded, much faster than the dancing light particles.

At this moment, even her scarf couldn’t hide the smile on her face, her dimples as if filled with honey.

“Jiejie.”

Zhu Yiqiao took a step closer and handed her the bouquet of green roses: “Consider this a surprise?”

If they weren’t on campus, Ming Fei would definitely have kissed Zhu Yiqiao on the cheek. She turned off her phone, took the bouquet, held Zhu Yiqiao’s hand tightly, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear,

“It’s a big surprise.”

“I’m very happy, thank you, Jiejie.”

As a cold wind blew past, Zhu Yiqiao looked at Ming Fei’s smiling face, not saying anything, letting Ming Fei lead her towards the parking garage. After they got in the car, the system automatically tinted the windows, making it impossible for passersby to see inside.

Ming Fei held the bouquet and had just taken off her gloves and scarf when Zhu Yiqiao suddenly spoke.

“Ah Fei.”

“Mm?”

“There’s something I didn’t do at the intersection under the streetlight just now.”

Ming Fei smiled: “What is it? Do we need to go back?”

“No.”

Ming Fei was very close to Zhu Yiqiao, but she didn’t catch the implication that Zhu Yiqiao hadn’t forgotten to do it, but hadn’t done it because of certain considerations. She just looked at Zhu Yiqiao with her bright, curious almond eyes.

As the hovercar entered the track, Zhu Yiqiao asked directly and frankly,

“At that time, I really wanted to kiss you.”

“What about you?”

Ming Fei’s ears immediately turned red.

The answer was without a doubt yes.

The fragrance of flowers filled the car. Ming Fei, her ears burning, leaned in and placed a belated kiss on Zhu Yiqiao’s cheek.

Her kiss, as always, was light and gentle. As she pulled away slightly, her gaze brushing past Zhu Yiqiao’s lips, Zhu Yiqiao cupped her chin.

This time, she didn’t cover Ming Fei’s eyes, and the kiss didn’t land on her dimple or cheek.

Her fingertip traced Ming Fei’s lips: “Ah Fei, it’s time to record a real kiss.”

Ming Fei blinked: “Doesn’t a kiss on the cheek count?”

“No.”

The atmosphere was so ambiguous that Ming Fei’s face turned even redder. Of course, she wouldn’t be foolish enough to ask what counted as a “real kiss,” but silently counted down the time she had given Zhu Yiqiao to think. Five seconds later, she leaned even closer.

Then—

Slowly, her temperature rising rapidly, she pressed her lips against Zhu Yiqiao’s.

Their pheromone bracelets flashed, signaling abnormal readings. The moment their lips touched, just for a fleeting instant, Ming Fei felt so sweet that she almost melted, her cheeks turning cherry red.

The kiss was sweet, she thought hazily.

She didn’t have any technique. To her, lips touching was a kiss. She was shy, her eyes closing slightly. Just as she wanted to pull away, bury her face in Zhu Yiqiao’s shoulder and neck, and hold her tight—

Zhu Yiqiao gently bit her lip, and as Ming Fei’s lips parted slightly, Zhu Yiqiao’s tongue slipped in.
