Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

It seems I was overthinking things.

Then, Mebius grabbed Liu Bai's wrist and placed it on his hip.

"..."

Isn't this still the same thing?

In comparison, this person is truly arrogant.

Ruan Mei seems more like she's simply being awkward...

"What are you looking at!" Möbius blushed and glared at Liu Bai, who was staring at him. "Is there anything about this document that you don't understand? Ask away!"

"...Actually, everything has already been done..."

"Ok?"

"Uh...then you can continue what Ruan Mei said?"

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Where is Ruan Mei?

After changing into a white lab coat, Möbius returned to the lab in the afternoon but couldn't find Ruan Mei.

“Dr. Ruan Mei is not feeling well and has taken leave,” Einstein said from the side.

This was still a bit unexpected.

After all, although Ruan Mei was also a researcher, she was the most capable among them.

When these people suddenly feel unwell, it sounds like an excuse, but they don't care.

It's just an afternoon off, it won't cause any problems.

"Physical discomfort?"

Mebius asked a question in a strange tone.

Rather than saying he's physically unwell, it's more accurate to say that his mind must be in complete chaos right now.

Mebius recalled Ruan Mei's reaction that morning, which was half pleasant and half angry.

Pleasure is naturally more important than pleasing oneself, and anger goes without saying.

“Alright, Ruan Mei is human too, it’s normal for her to feel unwell. Anyway, she doesn’t need to be present for today’s experiment. Mei, go check the equipment.”

"clear."

…………

I don't feel anything... Why don't I feel anything?

In the bedroom, Ruan Mei lay on the bed, trying to break down herself, puzzled.

No, saying I felt nothing might be too absolute, but compared to the feeling Liu Bai had given me before... it was far inferior.

It's like the difference between milk tea and tap water.

Why is there this difference?

Ruan Mei pinched herself hard.

It hurts a little, but I feel very little else.

“…What am I doing?” Ruan Mei looked at the ceiling and let out a soft sigh.

Why would someone do something so stupid?

If Black Tower finds out, they'll probably be laughed at to death.

Ruan Mei got out of bed, not bothering to put on her clothes, and sat directly at her desk.

He took out a pen and paper, pondered for a moment, and then wrote:

Did Liu Bai apply or obtain the Love Elixir on his hand?

No, that's not right. Liu Bai's hands were clean and warm, and there was nothing on them, nor did they feel like there was anything foreign.

It's very symmetrical overall, and when I pinch myself...

No, that's not the end of the analysis!

Ruan Mei crossed out that sentence and continued writing below:

Is it because...Möbius is nearby?

Am I the kind of perverted woman who gets excited when stared at?

...No, really?

Probably not...

Ruan Mei hesitated for a moment, then crossed out the sentence with a few strokes.

Is Liu Bai's craftsmanship superb?

It seems not...

At first, Liu Bai's hands were somewhat rough...

No, perhaps roughness is also part of the "craft"?

In the process of domesticating animals, a combination of punishment and reward is often necessary.

Am I being treated like a pet?

Ruan Mei hesitated for a moment, waved the ballpoint pen in her hand twice, and finally started writing. She slowly drew halfway through, then lifted the pen again.

Well... it doesn't seem impossible.

However, this is probably not the main reason for the abnormality in my body.

It's impossible to successfully "tame" her in half an hour.

Never mind, I'll just cross it out.

Ruan Mei repaired the previous scratches.

So, there seem to be no other external factors...

Ruan Mei pursed her lips.

Is Liu Bai treating me specially?

Ruan Mei slowly wrote down this sentence.

...Maybe so.

Ruan Mei took a deep breath and took out the light cone she always carried.

It all started with this cone of light.

My past self...

Ruan Mei sighed softly, then carefully put the "My Reflection in the Mirror" back away.

Do you have special feelings for Liu Bai?

Maybe... there are some?

Her rigorous scientific spirit helped her suppress her sense of shame.

Not counting today, I and Liu Bai have had intimate contact three times in total.

The first time was after I was drunk.

The second time... V actively provoked Liu Baiwu, resulting in a car accident and being given #Love Elixir by the temple.

...Speaking of which, the reason I provoked Liu Bai was...

Is this just being unreasonable?

Ruan Mei bit her lip.

The third time... was to get Liu Bai's permission to participate in the experiment, so he voluntarily used his hands and mouth to give Liu Bai...

There are clearly other ways to exchange benefits.

For example, developing a treatment method for fireflies within three years, or indicating that one's involvement can elevate the research results by several levels.

Why did I use my hands and mouth back then...?

Ruan Mei tried her best to suppress her shame with rational analysis.

Why can't I control myself in front of Liu Bai?

Ruan Mei recalled her childhood, when she naively said, "Aunt Alice is kinder to me than any of my elders. She buys me snacks, and her love is the best."

"..."

Ruan Mei gently tapped the table with the tip of her pen.

Inhale...exhale...

Come to think of it... I haven't even understood what the "love" between my parents is like.

—But no matter how you look at it, it shouldn't be like this now, right?

Do I have "love" for Liu Bai?

Ruan Mei circled the question.

These days, I have indeed been thinking about Liu Bai from time to time... Even with all these things happening before, it's hard not to think about him, isn't it?

...Of course, Liu Bai's ability to understand human speech is also a plus.

Does Liu Bai have "love" for her?

Perhaps... there is?

However, this man is perhaps a little too benevolent.

Ruan Mei felt a little depressed when she thought of those people.

But I feel like that guy sometimes prefers his own body...

Ruan Mei slightly lifted her buttocks.

This conclusion really is...

Ruan Mei looked at the questions on the paper, sighed deeply, crumpled the paper into a ball, and threw it into the wastebasket.

One last question.

—Do I really dislike Liu Bai's behavior today?

Chapter 315 Ruan Mei: You called me Doctor today, I won't find fault with you.

"...Dr. Ruan Mei? What brings you here?"

The Herrscher of Domination opened the door with a hint of wariness, watching Ruan Mei try to pick the lock after her knocking went unanswered.

"Isn't there someone here?"

Ruan Mei gave the Ruler a cold glance.

"There are indeed people like that..."

But why should I entertain you?

"Doctor, are you so eager to deliver yourself to my door today?"

The Herrscher of Domination composed herself, somewhat surprised, and asked arrogantly.

"Correct."

"...?"

The Herrscher of Domination was momentarily stunned before Ruan Mei pushed him away.

Ruan Mei walked into the room without any politeness, leaving the Herrscher of Domination stunned.

"You..." The Herrscher of Domination tried to say something, but was silenced by a single look from Ruan Mei.

"You call me Doctor today, and I won't find fault with you, but after today..."
