The cute doll face of Zhao Fen looked even more pitiable after the storm; since it was nearly midsummer, there was no need to worry about catching a cold, and the two of them lay naked on the floorboards.

Zhao Fen used her clothes to cover her most private parts: "I wonder if others can see us, hehe, but this feeling of being afraid of being spied on is also very exciting."

That was for sure. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone crazy with Ouyang Qian in the pouring rain last time. I still recall that feeling endlessly. It's a pity it's not raining today, or I could try the same with Zhao Fen, but I worry if Zhao Fen could withstand the kind of torment I inflicted on Ouyang Qian.

I got up and picked up Zhao Fen, "Let's go, I'll take you back to sleep."

In Room Number One, Zhao Fang was already sleeping soundly. Zhao Fen went to take a shower. I didn't follow her in; I lifted my foot, exited Room One, and entered Room Seven. Xiao Yu Di and Xiao Hui didn't need rest at all; both were sitting in front of a desk, resting their cute little heads, lost in thought.

"Brother? Why are you over here with us?" It should be noted that when Xiao Yu Di wanted to be intimate with me, she usually ran to Yi Xiaorou’s room, which is why she asked this question.

I sat down by the desk, "Of course, to discuss how to get to the moon."

Xiao Hui said, "Brother, we are considering that too. The weapons and defense systems for the Hope starship will take some time to complete, and the spacecraft we built before are only suitable for low-altitude atmospheric flight. We know you are anxious and want to know the Dragon Girl's situation as soon as possible, so we are thinking of other ways."

Xiao Yu Di chimed in, "We considered manufacturing a flight suit, but it’s only for single-person use. If it’s just for surface activity, I think, given the precedent set by the Americans, it shouldn't cause offense to the intelligent beings under the moon. But if we need to go deep inside to find the Dragon Girl's whereabouts, will it cause misunderstandings and conflicts? Just one single-person flight suit won't be enough, I think."

Xiao Yu Di's consideration was very apt. Six thousand years have passed. Who knows what the interiors of those ten starships are like now? Perhaps the prehistoric people are long gone and have completely merged into the lives of Earth's humans; perhaps they are living there better, with higher technological development. To deal with me, an invading 'enemy,' who knows what measures they might use? After all, I can't guarantee that after six thousand years, those people will still recognize me. Given their technology at the time, after six millennia of long development, they must have far surpassed us.

I said, "Let's wait a little longer. Finding the Dragon Girl is not a simple matter; I don't want to make a mistake because of my own impatience."

The two women nodded, "We will speed up the construction of the Hope. Brother, rest assured, you will definitely find the Dragon Girl. She will absolutely be as beautiful and charming as she was six thousand years ago. Alena mentioned that kind of mutation virus can grant eternal life. Your love for each other is destined by fate to endure a six-thousand-year test."

I was moved by the sincere wishes of the two women, pulling them into an embrace, one on the left and one on the right, "Brother must thank you. Thank you for your understanding, thank you for your constant silent support; without you, Brother would have achieved nothing."

Xiao Yu Di was long accustomed to my embrace, but Xiao Hui, as a recently humanized artificial intelligence, seemed very agitated. Perhaps her intelligent program was running too fast, as she actually fainted in my arms, startling me into holding her tightly.

Xiao Yu Di giggled, "It's fine, Brother. Xiao Hui's current body still needs improvement; it tends to crash when the temperature gets too high. Hehe, it seems your hug generates a lot of heat."

I anxiously said, "Stop joking, quickly think of a way to bring Xiao Hui back to normal."

Xiao Yu Di said, "Put her on the bed; she'll wake up on her own in a bit. Xiao Hui needs time to adapt to your enthusiasm; don't rush things, or you might harm her."

What nonsense! I wasn't thinking of anything else!

Everything looked normal again on the surface. I hadn't been home for half a year, and when I returned, the women, in a joint effort to trick my parents, naturally told them everything. My parents were nearly scared to death and almost fainted upon hearing it. Organizing the Red Dragon to fight against the US and Japan—this was no child's play! The world-renowned DiDi, Huanyu, and Taohua Financial Investments turned out to be the Zhao family's enterprises. Those delicate daughters-in-law were actually the masterminds behind these mysterious companies—this was also no child's play. And my return to six thousand years ago—that was the most unbelievable of all!

Fortunately, the women were well-prepared, preventing my parents from suffering any serious shock. Now everything has stabilized. My parents know my identity, so they naturally won't question whether I went to school today or if I caused any trouble there. This saved me a lot of worry; I can do whatever I want.

Standing at the entrance of Longteng University, I kept telling myself that I was here to learn knowledge, to see Xiao Xue Di, not to eat Su Xue’s noodles, not to see Xu Chen, and certainly not to find opportunities to play games with Su Xue again. Men are sometimes so hypocritical. Amen, forgive myself.

Slap! Someone patted my shoulder, "Little White Dragon! I didn't expect to see you again!"

I turned around and saw Da Shui Niu and Xiao Zha Meng—my two roommates. Six months apart, they seemed to have integrated even more deeply into metropolitan life, becoming indistinguishable from the crowd regarding their original aura.

"What's up, you two? You didn't think I kicked the bucket, did you?"

Da Shui Niu, Xu Hu, said, "Not exactly. You haven't shown your face for over half a year, and this semester is about to end. Who knows if you vanished from the earth or went to Mars? If you didn't come back, all those 'Golden Flowers' would have been picked up by others."

"Tch!" I didn't believe Xu Hu at all. Of the nine Golden Flowers, there was one I didn't know, and I had no dealings with another, Zhao Ting. My relationship with the other seven was quite close, and four of them were already my definite wives: Li Qi, Ouyang Qing, Fang Yanmeng, and Zhou Ni. As for Su Xue, my relationship with her was also very ambiguous; after all, she had played me several times. Could she really have no feelings for me?

Chen Chao added, "Believe it or not. Anyway, once you're back at school, you’ll see the fierce offensive from those handsome guys sooner or later. I heard Xu Chen and He Yuqing have gone on a few dates with them. Ah, it really makes us envious. You don't know how heartbreaking Xu Chen is now; her appearance evokes a strong desire to protect her from the bottom of one's heart. Moreover, Xu Chen is now the big boss of the prestigious Starlight Studio. Reliable sources say her assets are already over ten million. She’s quite the little rich girl at Longteng University, and she achieved it through her own hard work—truly admirable."

Although I invested in Starlight Studio single-handedly, since the company was established only to solve Xu Chen's livelihood, even though I later intended to merge it under Huanyu, the affairs were too numerous, and I 'disappeared' for half a year, so I had no time to pay attention to its situation. The Zhao family meeting did not include it in the agenda either.

Xu Hu suddenly grabbed my arm, "Look over there!"

I followed the direction Xu Hu was pointing toward the distance on the road. Xu Hu pointed toward a white sedan, "That white sedan. No man at Longteng University doesn't know that’s Xu Chen’s exclusive car now. Look at her; she was originally a struggling student barely above the poverty line, and she quickly made a fortune based on her knowledge. Little White Dragon, I think you should utilize your skill at charming girls again and win her over. What she has is genuine ability, unlike Fang Yanmeng, naturally."

Of course, I recognized that car; how could I not recognize a car I bought? I disagreed with some of Xu Hu's words. Fang Yanmeng did not rely solely on her father's influence to control DiDi Energy, as they imagined, but people always view things through colored glasses, so I didn't argue with them on this matter.

"It seems I'm your master; you two apprentices shouldn't instruct me on what to do."

Hearing my words, the two laughed awkwardly, "Back then, we greatly benefited from Little White Dragon's guidance when we were young. Now that we brothers have grown up and are mature, naturally, we are not the same as before."

I asked with a smile, "Are neither of you virgins anymore? I assume Xu Hu has already been taken care of. What about you, Chen Chao?"

Chen Chao blushed, "I think I’d better keep calling you Master from now on. Xu Hu has successfully taken care of himself and graduated from apprenticeship."

Gasp! The car drove past and suddenly reversed. The door slammed open, and a graceful figure leaped out, "Brother Zhao! It's you! I... I... I'm so... I'm finally seeing you!"

Xu Chen jumped out of the car. She abruptly stopped right before reaching my embrace, standing before me with her head slightly bowed, radiating a pitiable charm. Tears streamed down her face as she stuttered through her words, "It's been half a year, a whole half a year."

I looked closely at Xu Chen; indeed, she was vastly different from before. In terms of clothing and makeup, although not overly ornate, the small, fashionable attire combined with light makeup made her appear utterly lovely when standing before me, inspiring boundless affection.

"Chen Chen, you've grown up," I said sincerely.

Xu Hu and Chen Chao beside me nearly choked on their breath. They knew Xu Chen; after all, they had drunk in her dorm room half a year ago—something they had boasted about to other male classmates. "Little White Dragon, what are you saying? She’s your senior sister!"

Xu Chen lowered her head, a smile playing on her lips, and said nothing. I said to my two roommates, "You two carry on; I need to get to class as well."

Xu Hu secretly winked at me and made a gesture of grasping something with his hand, implying that I should make a move on Xu Chen. This Da Shui Niu, I hadn't expected him to mature into a real pervert in half a year. It must be the good guidance of our class monitor, Xia Yu.

Seeing the reserved expression Xu Chen rarely displayed, the two knew something significant was about to happen. Being smart, they didn't stay to be a third wheel. After exchanging greetings, they entered the school.

"Brother Zhao, please get in the car. Lots of people are watching here."

I looked up; sure enough, in just a short while, a crowd of male students had gathered nearby, and some were already preparing to approach Xu Chen to say hello. I didn't want to become a public enemy right after returning to school, so I needed to find a quiet place quickly to catch up on what had happened to both of us over the past six months.
