Chu Bai planned to pick up Xiao A from district x and head back to district a. Since he mentioned moving, then move he shall. The wedding house in district a was much more to his taste than his own place; the only downside was the AI Butler, as Xiao A’s cooking system was irreplaceable.

As the hover car was halfway there, Chu Bai saw a message from the mecha teacher star group. A lecturer asked about the specific numerical settings for the assessment model, and the group became lively, with everyone trying to gather information for their students. Even the dean, who was far away in another star system, came online to ask a question, directly @-ing Chu Bai since he was the chief examiner.

Chu Bai reported the progress. Seeing that the star group was active and he had nothing else to do, he decided to schedule a meeting and changed his destination to return to Luo Lian. The assessment model was independently completed by the chief examiner, but the standard values for each assessment needed to be discussed and selected by at least six professors.

Chu Bai was the first to arrive at the meeting room. Taking advantage of the preparation time, he set up the meeting assistant’s program and organized the data for the assessment model. As he finished his preparations, the other professors arrived one after another.

The styles of the mecha professors were quite distinct, divided into two types: one was the suit-wearing elite type, and the other was covered in the smell of metal oil, as if they had just come off work. When they took their seats, they happened to sit according to their styles, three on each side, clearly divided. With Chu Bai, there were seven professors in total, which was enough.

Chu Bai, despite being the most experienced, was the youngest. He greeted them without arrogance or inferiority and went straight to the point, introducing the virtual shadow at hand: “On the left is this year’s mecha manufacturing graduation assessment model. Compared to last year, two assessment items have been added: critical torso pressure value and self-check program accuracy value, and other items have been optimized. Additionally, for fairness, this assessment model has two sets of programs, one for right-handed mechas and one for left-handed mechas.”

“On the right is the mecha ja12-c9. Here are all its codes, which can serve as a basic data reference for each assessment item.”

“Professor Chu, this mecha is last year’s flagship model from Chong Xia, right?”

“The mecha from Chong Xia, it might be a perfect score data reference.”

“With the core data available, this year’s meeting will be simple, just compare them.”

“Let’s start.”

The assessment model was a structure in the style of a mecha, and the assessment was essentially an attack. Originally, the meeting assistant was supposed to operate it throughout, but the professors frequently glanced at the assistant, finding this year’s assessment model interesting.

Many operations were simplified into a simple panel, and the meeting assistant’s actions were more like playing a game.

“Little Chu, give me the assistant’s panel, let me try.” Professor Luca, dressed in work clothes, spoke first, relying on his seniority.

Once he spoke, the others lined up.

This kind of simplified standardized operation was attractive anywhere, and the professors played and studied, marveling at this eye-catching system.

Chu Bai sat incongruously at the lecture table, bored.

After half a day’s assessment, the various values of ja12-c9 were still within a good range, and the assessment model had never been so relaxed since its inception.

The professors who had just said they wanted a quick resolution showed no intention of doing so. Chu Bai lowered his head, idly searching on his light brain, asking Chu Lan if he knew Lan An.

“Little Chu.”

Chu Bai looked up and put away his light brain: “Professor Luca.”

“You have the assessment data for ja12-c9, right?” Professor Luca was certain; the model was too simple, there was no need to wait long.

He looked at the young man sitting there with admiration, admitting that he was far more excellent than himself. It wasn’t just because of the so-called research opportunities from Fei Xing.

He was convinced, the younger generation was formidable.

Chu Bai nodded: “Yes.”

“Then, leave the data with us, and we’ll discuss the students’ grade lines.” Professor Luca said, “We want to take a look at your model. With six people here, your absence won’t matter, and we won’t waste your time.”

“Yeah, I heard Little Chu just got married.”

“Really?”

“Got married?”

“Yes, I’m married.” Chu Bai said, politely curling his lips, “I’ve backed up the data for the meeting assistant, so I’ll leave now. I’m in a hurry today, I’ll bring you some wedding candy next time.”

“Alright, take care.”

“Congratulations on your marriage.”

“Thank you.” Chu Bai stood up and left the meeting room.

Leaving behind six professors in their forties.

“Professor Luca? What are you thinking?”

“Little Chu really got married?” Professor Luca blinked.

“Yes, why, could it be… he said it himself, he’s married.” Professor Luca had a daughter of marriageable age, and his wife once praised Professor Chu for being young and promising. But now, it seemed inappropriate to bring it up.

Professor Luca waved his hand and continued to study the model, suddenly asking: “With whom?”

A professor had heard: “Starship department, from the Nian family.”

…

Chu Bai’s life in the past half year was very monotonous, going to classes at the main campus of Luo Lian, going home to rest, and working on holographic starship designs.

His schedule was low-key, but his stunning appearance made him unknowingly popular. Every time he appeared, he was talked about by Luo Lian students, like a celebrity, and the more they learned, the more they liked him. Someone on the school network said it right, Professor Chu getting married was indeed Luo Lian’s heartbreak day to some extent.

Chu Bai left the meeting room, lingered at the door for a while, then started walking out, encountering two mecha students who seemed hesitant to speak. He called them over and asked: “Do you have something to say to me?”

The two paused, nodding continuously.

“Speak.” Chu Bai lowered his eyes.

The two straightened up: “Professor Chu, someone on the school network said you returned to school, and there’s a crowd outside this building.”

“Students from other departments can’t get in, they’re waiting for you to come out.”

Chu Bai asked: “Why are they waiting for me?”

“Uh, maybe they just want to see you?” The mecha student didn’t understand, unable to empathize, “I heard there’s a starship student updating a plan on the school network in real-time, planning to confess to you next week…”

“And the top student from the art academy, a super pretty Omega, said they liked you, I just saw him.”

“Actually, maybe not many are really looking for you, most are just onlookers.”

“Alright, I’ll go out later.” Chu Bai nodded.

“Okay, okay, Professor Chu, um… could you reveal a bit about the assessment data?”

Chu Bai smiled: “It’s still under discussion.”

“Ah… then goodbye, Professor Chu.”

The two students ran off, and Chu Bai’s light brain suddenly rang with laughter. After the laughter subsided, the other party said: “Professor Chu, with this celebrity-like treatment, are you asking about Lan An for experience?”

“Don’t be cheeky.” Chu Bai said coldly, walking to the end of the floor to glance down, seeing some people lingering, he returned to his office, switched to holographic communication, and asked Chu Lan, who appeared indoors, “Have you checked on Lan An?”

“I’ve asked someone to check.” Chu Lan said, loosening his collar, “Where’s sister-in-law?”

“Ran Chang.” Chu Bai lazily sat down, sending a command to Xiao A at home.

Now he wasn’t the one picking up Xiao A, he could only wait for the other party to come. Fortunately, he had previously arranged for it to have a solo travel permit for convenient grocery shopping.

Chu Lan raised an eyebrow: “Today is your wedding night, your charm can’t surpass z2… well, in Luo Lian, your charm is quite high.”

Chu Bai wasn’t annoyed by the teasing, taking off his glasses and smiling faintly: “They’re all carefree kids.”

“True.” Chu Lan said, looking at his demeanor, clicking his tongue in wonder, then circling back to the topic, “Why suddenly interested in a celebrity, are you choosing a spokesperson for Chong Xia?”

He thought with Chu Bai’s business mind.

“No.” Chu Bai said, “Also check my financial transactions from when I was twelve, see if there’s any connection to Lan An.”

Chu Lan was taken aback, nodding: “Alright.”

Bored from waiting, Chu Bai opened the latest assessment model on his light brain, feeding a mecha into it, tapping his finger, and it shattered into pieces in five seconds.

He repeated this action, blowing up all the mechas he had access to, then pulled out zi40.

Amidst the continuous explosion sounds, those light eyes gradually lost interest, his emotionless voice carrying a strange sense of regret: “Too fake, some things aren’t worth keeping.”

Chu Lan clutched his chest: “That’s my hard-earned money.”

Who could afford his hobby of blowing up mechas and starships?

Chu Bai stopped, chuckling: “Have some ambition.”

Before Chu Lan could babble on, Chu Bai spoke again: “How do you define falling in love?”

The topic switched too fast, Chu Lan opened and closed his mouth, raising his eyebrows at Chu Bai: “Does marriage make you start considering this? Even you aren’t an exception? I’d say you have an innate advantage, a 100% match is said to make you fall in love during marking, you should know better than me.”

“Hiss, I remember, why did you pretend not to know how to pilot a starship last time? I’ve never seen an Alpha hide their advantage.”

The light brain beeped.

Chu Lan looked down: “It’s for you.”

Chu Bai’s gaze remained on the light brain, the incoming message automatically unfolding.

[Nian Keyi: Can you tell a starship from the central control screen?]

[Chu Bai: Yes.]

The central control screen displayed billions of stars covered by the starship, changing every second. Planets, jump points, and starships all became inconspicuous dots, making it difficult to spot starships with the naked eye. In a real competition, this ability was almost like a bug.

The Federation military specifically trained talents in this area, each playing an irreplaceable role on the battlefield.

The reply came back as [Oh, impressive, no wonder you’re Luo Lian’s white moonlight.]

Chu Bai saw the last nickname, pressing his lips slightly.

Chu Lan continued to express his opinions: “Hmm? Bro? Are you going to showcase your unparalleled strength? Since ancient times, courtship has always been like this…”

Chu Bai was about to discuss it with him when his gaze paused, suddenly putting his glasses back on and standing up, a smile spreading on his face: “Your theoretical knowledge is good, have you ever been in love? How’s your susceptibility period? Hanging up.”

On the other end, Chu Lan: “???”

Baffled.

Professor Chu left the building, taking the flight path to the aircraft that came to pick him up.

Ran Chang.

“Nian Keyi, are you just going back like this? I only sat in z2 for a bit!” Chang Ran shouted.

“Sitting for a bit is good enough.” Nian Keyi said, “Are you coming back?”

“I already came with you!” Chang Ran exploded, “Are you messing with me? Otherwise, why would you leave when I arrive, you have nothing to do anyway.”

Nian Keyi took big strides, a teenager who had just grown up, his face full of fiery arrogance: “I have something to do, it’s evening in district a, I’m going back to pick up the white moonlight.”
