It seemed there was something rather unusual about the twins' attitude toward Zi Ye. In her memory, the twins had never paid much attention to any girl whose surname wasn't Di Tar.

Adai activated the podium control system, searching for Zi Ye’s name on the class roster. Ling Si University, Class One of the Spirit Cultivation Department.

Very well, she had it noted down. She had promised Di Tar’s mother that she would take good "care" of the twins!

Spence pouted, shot Adai a look, and sullenly returned to his seat. Zi Ye had left, and Xander had left too.

Spence had rarely been separated from Xander since childhood, and Adai’s ruthless action left him feeling somewhat depressed. He knew Adai must have done it on purpose!

It was just one class, was it necessary! Just then, Sha Xinyi stood up from her seat and walked toward the back of the classroom.

Everyone else looked on in surprise; the teacher had arrived, class was about to start, where was she going? Spence noticed Sha Xinyi’s movement and almost shouted out.

There were already too few girls in this classroom, and this idiot dared to make a scene. If Adai caught her, she definitely wouldn't get off lightly!

Sha Xinyi walked around the classroom with a smile under everyone's gaze and sat down in Xander’s seat. Adai glanced at her and said in a gentle voice, "Everyone settle down, class is about to begin." Her tone naturally carried an affinity, and the students quickly sat up straight, ready to listen attentively.

Only Spence was particularly displeased, wrinkling his nose at her. Hmph, keep up the pretense!

Sha Xinyi sat obediently for a while. Once Adai was settled into lecturing, she quietly asked the person next to her in an uncertain tone, "You are Spence, right?" Spence was somewhat surprised.

Someone else had recognized them! He couldn't help but feel a bit happy and asked, "How did you recognize me?" Sha Xinyi pointed her delicate fingers toward her full, red lips.

"Your lip line is softer than Xander's. I can only distinguish a little bit; I don't know if I'm right." If Xander were here, Spence would really want to compare to see if she was right.

He knew there were many subtle differences between him and Xander; with enough attention, one could tell them apart. But the lip line—neither of them had paid much attention to that detail before.

Spence always took kindly to anyone who could correctly identify him, and his impression of Sha Xinyi rose significantly. He gave her discerning eye a thumbs-up.

"You are very observant." Sha Xinyi blushed slightly, looking a bit shy. "It's my specialty." Spence remembered she worked in beauty and skin care and paid special attention to people’s facial features.

He couldn't help but laugh, "Professionals are indeed exceptional." Sha Xinyi reflexively took out a Super VIP card. "With this card, you can get a minimum of 34% off when you shop at the store, darling." Spence chuckled, and the gloom in his heart lifted considerably.

However, being called "darling" was quite unsettling. He placed the card back in Sha Xinyi's hand, and the tip of his finger accidentally brushed against her soft, smooth palm.

"You should keep this. You hold onto it." Sha Xinyi gazed at his fingers, stirred within, and blurted out, "Spence, I like you." Spence froze for a moment.

Another confession? Essentially, Spence didn't care for overly forward girls.

But considering Sha Xinyi was a friend and could tell him and Xander apart, he suppressed the unpleasant feeling rising within him. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you sure it’s me?

Not Xander, or both of us?" Sha Xinyi lowered her head. "Actually, I'm not entirely sure either.

Which one of you I like—I don't think I could possibly like both of you at the same time, but you are always together. And you look the same, I often get confused." Spence considered this.

He chose his words tactfully: "Since that’s the case, take some time to think it over and decide who you truly like. These things can't be rushed." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Adai looking in his direction and immediately fell silent.

Adai frowned slightly. "Spence, pay attention to the lecture, please." All eyes instantly shot toward him.

Spence looked up at Adai. Adai’s eyes held a deep sorrow, as if he had committed some unforgivable transgression.

He couldn't help but clench his fist in frustration: Adai, you are going too far! Spence glanced up at Adai again.

Seeing that Adai had withdrawn her gaze, he opened his personal terminal and shrunk the virtual light screen to palm size, intending to vent to someone. Teacher Adai is truly too ruthless!

Zi Ye is sick, and she insists on separating him and his brother! Sha Xinyi confesses to him, and she interferes again!

This is too much! Who would be best to talk to?

His classmates don’t know Teacher Adai, and even if they did, they would surely side with her. He couldn’t tell Di Tar’s mother, or she would think he was misbehaving at school… His finger swiped across the screen and paused over An Junlie’s name.

Complaining to the Commander—the Commander was his master, he would definitely stand on his side. "Commander, Commander, Teacher Adai is so annoying!

Xiao Yezi is sick, and Adai wouldn't even let Xander and me take her to the infirmary!" He only meant to vent, never imagining that this casual complaint would cause so much trouble for his own father! This matter needed to start with An Junlie.

An Junlie was twenty-six but hadn't even had a first love yet. He had no elders above him and no young ones below him.

His friends on either side were all workaholics. No one ever brought up romance to him, and he was emotionally inept, never considering that aspect.

Di Tar, accustomed to worrying about his numerous children, naturally included An Junlie in his concerns. So, he found an opportunity to ask him, "Commander, do you have a girl you like?" An Junlie was polishing the robot Zi Ye had given him at the time, and he replied without looking up, "No." His teacher had once told him that romance was the most time-consuming and energy-draining thing in the world; one should never dive into it, or they would surely regret it.

So... Di Tar sighed helplessly and began tallying the women An Junlie had come into contact with.

Most were high-ranking officials in the legion. One-quarter of the high-ranking officials in the Huaxia Legion were women.

Among this group, nine-tenths were already married, and the remaining tenth were either high-achieving career women or tomboys. An Junlie disliked tomboys and never considered office romances.

Di Tar thoughtfully eliminated this group of women for him. There was no choice but to look outside.

Di Tar listed three types of women: Celebrities, Experts, and Teachers. In the Angel Domain, or the entire Starfield for that matter, "celebrity" was not a good term.

Private life and such were major issues. An Junlie was the public face of the Angel Domain and had to be mindful of his conduct; he certainly couldn't get involved with a celebrity.

Experts were quite promising. For instance, his wife was a nutrition expert.

He happened to know an expert as well: the painter Emily. Even more commendable was that she was also a teacher at Angel University.

The requirements for teachers in the Angel Domain were even stricter than in Kaga. The fact that she could become a teacher meant Di Tar was satisfied with her professional ability and personal life.

Especially since she was quite beautiful. Di Tar figured he would invite An Junlie and Emily over for tea under the pretext of entertaining An Junlie.

Emily was a very beautiful girl with a distinct personality. Di Tar thought this might work out.

Who knew that An Junlie hadn't even finished breakfast? Completely ignoring Emily's expectant gaze, he devoured the nutritious pastries painstakingly made by Mrs.

Di Tar in a whirlwind of crumbs... When Spence messaged him, he had just finished eating.

The Di Tar couple saw that they had stopped talking after exchanging names and assumed they were intruding. They thought about suggesting An Junlie and Emily take a walk.

If An Junlie could drive her back afterward, there would be great potential for development. Before he could say anything, An Junlie opened his Hyper-Com screen and saw the message Spence had sent.

Zi Ye is sick! The moment An Junlie saw those five words, he instantly straightened up.

Di Tar noticed something was wrong and quickly swallowed the words he was about to say. He asked, "What happened?" An Junlie calmly closed the Hyper-Com, though his expression was slightly serious.

"I have an urgent matter; I must go to Colet." Di Tar hastily inquired, "Is it about the legion?" An Junlie nodded, offering no further explanation. "Yes, about that planet." He treated Emily as an outsider and didn't elaborate.

Of course, he intentionally kept it vague. Di Tar was indeed misled into thinking along the wrong lines and felt awkward detaining him further.

He said, "Alright, attend to your business first. Come over for tea when you have time.

I will get the budget proposal to you for review as soon as possible." An Junlie nodded to him. Seeing Emily watching him, he also nodded, said his goodbyes, and left.

An Junlie was unaware of this covert matchmaking attempt, but Emily was perfectly clear. Watching him leave right before her eyes shattered her heart!

Di Tar consoled her, "The Commander really had an emergency this time, a major one. We’ll arrange another meeting when he’s free." Emily nodded, her eyes red.

An Junlie felt a tiny bit of guilt for deceiving Di Tar. He was actually going to Kaga, not Colet!

He took a magnetic levitation vehicle to the shipyard and boarded a battleship to Kaga, accompanied by bodyguards. At this moment, only one thought dominated his mind: Zi Ye is sick!

Not only was she sick, but she hadn't told him! An Junlie desperately wanted to ask her, "Why didn't you tell me?" But then he considered that she was unwell and likely sleeping, so he held back.

Zi Ye didn't have many bad habits, but lingering in bed was certainly one of them. Back on Silver Crest, he had forced her to improve slightly, but when she felt ill, she would undoubtedly revert to staying in bed.

He felt an intense ache, wishing he had wings to fly to her side. He decided that when he saw her, he would definitely spank her!

He had no idea that at this moment, Zi Ye was glaring daggers at the doctor. Truthfully, Zi Ye hadn't expected to be so seriously ill, running a high fever of 39.7°C.

She thought it was just Madam Red making trouble. The doctor had not only scared her with various medical procedures but also warned her that if it exceeded 40°C, she could very well end up permanently brain-damaged.

Zi Ye felt like she wanted to bore a hole through the doctor with her stare. Furthermore, due to long-term exhaustion leading to poor physical condition, Madam Red’s visit caused excruciating pain and triggered a series of complications, which horrified Zi Ye.

Even the spot licked by Dou Zai was joining the fray, throbbing with searing pain. Seeing her array of symptoms, Xander was almost stunned.

"Xiao Yezi, how little do you care for yourself?"
