Recently, besides staying at home to draw comics, Ge Yue spent his time chatting with Li Qingzhou. The two continued to discuss the story direction, character traits and other aspects of the comicâs villain, Mu Lin.
They first talked about the comic.
Because it was too hot and popular, the new comic [Into the Trap] was already being considered for adaptation into an animated series while it was still in the serialization stage.
Ge Yue, who was backed by the Ge family who had their own entertainment company didnât have to worry about comic copyright issues.
So, the new comic was quickly adapted into an animated series.
Li Qingzhou congratulated Ge Yue.
Then the two talked about the news of artificially intelligent robots.
[Iâm a Martian: Qingzhou, I heard youâre setting up a lab to study artificially intelligent robots. Howâs the progress?]
[One leaf Qingzhou: The lab has been set up, but no employees have been hired yet. We are currently recruiting talent.]
[Iâm a Martian: What type of intelligent robots do you plan to study? Household service ones? Rescue ones? Or those robots that fight carrying laser wands? Snort snort, hahaheh.]
[One leaf Qingzhou: â¦.. Itâs a laser sword, not a laser wand.]
[Iâm a Martian: Oh oh, that means pretty much the same thing, if you know what I mean, pretty boy thumbs up.jpg.]
[One leaf Qingzhou: Laser swords canât be made yet, the main reason being that there isnât enough energy supply. Currently, there is no energy source capable of supporting the use of laser swords.]
[The labâs main research direction will focus on service-type and rescue-type artificially intelligent robots.]
[Iâm a Martian: Thatâs great. Qingzhou, I look forward to your success, pretty boy gives a call.jpg.]
[One leaf Qingzhou: Thank you.]
After discussing the topic of AI robots, the two friends continued to chat casually.
[Iâm a Martian: Qingzhou, have you seen Uncle Liu recently?]
[My uncle told me yesterday that Uncle Liu was very angry and irritable for some unknown reason. He came over to drink but just sat there without speaking.]
In short, He Jianxun was puzzled by this strange behavior.
âHe had never seen Liu Bohuai like this before, because if anyone had offended Liu Bohuai, it was likely that that personâs ashes would have already been scattered by now.
But this clearly wasnât the case.
If no one had offended Liu Bohuai, then what could it be?
Without Liu Bohuaiâs explanation, He Jianxun could only speculate, so he was curious and mentioned it casually to Ge Yue.
Naturally, Ge Yue was also curious and asked Li Qingzhou if he knew the reason.
Li Qingzhou was confused.
He didnât think there was anything wrong with Third Master, so he replied that he had seen him but didnât know the reason.
He thought for a moment then typed: [Nothing has happened in the company recently either.]
In his opinion, everything was normal.
Ge Yue also pondered for a moment and then dropped the topic. He and Li Qingzhou chatted for a while longer before they both went offline.
â¦â¦.
Yu Zheâs Unique Studio was busy preparing for the official competition.
Li Qingzhou had several conversations with him online about the topic of artificially intelligent robots.
It was then Yu Zhe discovered that this President Li was surprisingly well-studied in the field of AI robots, causing him to be surprised and excited to have found a like-minded friend.
As they chatted more and more, their conversation became more congenial.
Yu Zhe had always admired Li Qingzhou, and now he knew that his research and understanding of artificial intelligence was in depth and spot-on.
Therefore when Li Qingzhou invited them sincerely to join his lab, Yu Zheâs attitude inevitably relaxed a bitâ¦.
However he was still considering and hesitant, and so didnât give an answer right away.
Li Qingzhou wasnât in a hurry.
Time flew by and before one knew it, it was time for Li Hanyu and Li Xusheng to start school.
Li Hanyu was admitted into the Economic Management Department at Yanjing University.
Li Qingzhou originally wanted to send his sister to register for school himself, but Li Hanyu, considering Li Qingzhouâs popularity at Yanjing University, was afraid that her big brother would be mobbed by people and so refused.
âBig brother, I can go to school and register myself. You donât have to worry.â Li Hanyu told him.
She felt that there was no problem: âIf youâre still not at ease, you can have Assistant Fang accompany me to Yanjing University.â
Seeing that his sisterâs attitude was firm, Li Qingzhou agreed in the end.
Li Xushengâs first day of school was a few days later.
âAfter a discussion, Li Xusheng decided to skip a grade to go to the third grade, thus there was an achievement test before school started.
To Li Qingzhouâs surprise, Xia Yijun was unexpectedly also going to the third grade.
Li Qingzhou and his little brother, Liu Bohuai and his nephew, met at the school gate.
âAs soon as they saw each other, Xia Yijunâs eyes welled up with tears as he said, âShengsheng, Iâve had to sacrifice so much in order to be in the same class with you.â
âWoo⦠you canât even imagine what Iâve gone through this summer, it was too painful.â
Learning having drained both his body and mind, Jun Jun shed tears.
When Li Xusheng heard this, he hugged him, patting his back comfortingly.
The two little friendsâ appearance and behavior was so amusing that, although Xia Yijun was whimpering tearfully, Li Qingzhou couldnât help but want to laugh.
[These little cubs are too cute and funny.]
âThe little guy in the bubble covered his mouth as he giggled, his big eyes curving with mirth, looking like they were filled with sparkling stars.
Li Qingzhouâs expression was gentle, his beautiful eyebrows and eyes making him even more charming and impossible to look away from.
Liu Bohuai suddenly spoke up, âHave you been in contact with Unique Studio recently?â
Coming back to his senses, Li Qingzhou nodded, âYes. I think Yu Zhe is really interested in cooperating with the company, but heâs currently taking some time to consider it.â
[Unique Studio has good strength, not to mention with Qiao Huanmingâs connection, things should be able to work out. Whatâs more thereâs Lu Mei Shanâ¦..]
He wanted to get to know her more. What if this girl and Third Master could really be together?
If he succeeded as a matchmaker, wouldnât his legs be healed in no time!
Thinking of this, a hint of happiness couldnât but show on Li Qingzhouâs face.
However in Liu Bohuaiâs eyes, what this meant was that Li Qingzhouâs expression had changed slightly because he was thinking of Lu Mei Shan.
This discovery caused his face to sink slightly.
âQingzhouâ¦..â
Liu Bohuaiâs voice suddenly slowed, âHave you ever thought about what kind of girlfriend you want in the future?â
[Girlfriend? Why is Third Master suddenly asking this question?]
âThe little guy in the bubble looked surprised, stunned, then struck a thinking pose.
Li Qingzhou: âI havenât really thought about that.â
Liu Bohuai: âWhy not think about it nowâ¦. is there anyone around you that makes your heart race?â
[No.]
âThe little guy in the bubble shrugged, the expression on his face unmistakably natural.
Li Qingzhou shook his head, âNo.â
What was said in the bubble was the same as what he said out loud.
The expression on Liu Bohuaiâs face couldnât help but relax, but then he was confused once more.
âSince his heart didnât race for anyone, then why did he seem to pay some attention to Lu Mei Shan?
He twirled his prayer beads slowly in contemplation.
Just then, Xia Yijun finally broke free from his little mood of grief.
He grabbed his uncleâs clothes and looked up at him, âI want Shengsheng to come visit our house.â
Actually, it was the Xia family that wanted to invite Li Xusheng.
The Xia family never imagined that because of a little friend, Xia Yijun would be willing to immerse himself in learning, studying obediently throughout the entire summer vacation.
Not only was he not impatient, he would sometimes even ask his tutor for help.
The Xia family, especially Xia Yijunâs parents, couldnât believe that this was their son.
In the past, whenever Xia Yijun was mentioned, it was all about how mischievous and disobedient he was, but this time he had done something that was worthy of praise. He had actually skipped an entire two grades and was going to the third grade.
Father and Mother Xia were overjoyed.
For both emotional and logical reasons, they also wanted to invite their sonâs little friend as well as parent.
Furthermore, they knew this parent. He was Liu Bohuaiâs partner.
Liu Bohuai ruffled Xia Yijunâs little head then lifted his head to look at Li Qingzhou, âThis can only be possible if your Big brother Li agrees.â
Xia Yijun ran to Li Qingzhouâs side to act cute while Li Xusheng couldnât help but look at him with a hopeful expression.
Li Qingzhou: âOf course you can.â
âYay! Thank you Big Brother Li!â
âBig Brother is so nice.â Li Xusheng and Xia Yijun hugged Li Qingzhou together.
[Two little cuties, I also know Iâm good.]
âThe little guy in the bubble made a heart shape with his hands then blew two kisses.
