My carefree life in space

Chapter 65 Leisurely Moments

The Royal Institute of Ancient Cultures.

Ouyang Zhenliang had been busy for two nights and was just about to go home to catch up on some sleep when he checked his personal terminal and found a lot of unread messages.

He was puzzled. Usually, when he was working, few people would send him messages because everyone knew he didn't have time to read them or reply. What was going on today? So many messages.

He clicked to check out the document out of curiosity, and the more he looked, the colder his expression became. What was wrong with Lin Keke? She actually took the ancient books and materials from his study to interpret them without his permission. Even he hadn't figured them out yet, so how dare she show them to others in public?

If she had interpreted it correctly, that would have been fine, but she hadn't even deciphered the missing words, yet she casually quoted the meaning of the poem. With his keen eye, he could easily spot the inconsistencies.

Ouyang Zhenliang couldn't help but wonder if he had made a mistake in taking on this disciple. In fact, he was initially reluctant to accept Lin Keke. Firstly, she was a noblewoman from a prominent family and not suitable for following him around to conduct research. Secondly, he could also see that Lin Keke did not truly love ancient culture and knowledge.

However, he owed the Ning family a favor when he was young, and the old lady of the Lin family personally came to ask him to take in her granddaughter.

He couldn't refuse because of the favor he had done for her, and Lin Keke was very humble at the time, showing great interest in ancient culture.

He took her on as a disciple, not expecting her to focus on her research, but she unexpectedly caused such a mess.

The person who raised the question had very reasonable arguments, and the details about the two battles were things he had never heard of before. This made him very interested in this person and he wanted to get to know him and have a good exchange of ideas.

Having understood the whole story, he was about to question Lin Keke when her communication request came first.

As soon as the call connected, Lin Keke apologized with a sob in her voice.

"Teacher, I'm sorry, I have let you down. I shouldn't have leaked the ancient texts without your permission."

Ouyang Zhengliang was speechless. How was he supposed to respond? Should he generously forgive her? Or should he follow his original plan and ask her why she did what she did?

Facing a girl who had clearly been crying, he couldn't bring himself to reprimand her further. Instead, he asked her with a slightly serious tone, "I have repeatedly emphasized that unverified ancient texts cannot be released to the public. Why did you knowingly violate this rule?"

The person on the other end paused for a moment, then continued to apologize, "I'm sorry, teacher, I was wrong. I just really liked that poem, and in a moment of joy, I wanted to share it with netizens. My intention was to spread knowledge of ancient culture, which is exactly the original purpose of studying ancient culture that you told me about."

In the end, why can't she grasp the key point? Ouyang Zhenliang was even more frustrated. Did he say she couldn't spread it? The problem is that she was spreading unverified information, which is a major taboo for academic research.

It's a small matter to lose face; the real sin of researchers of ancient culture is to spread incorrect cultural knowledge.

Just as he was about to say something, Lin Keke's voice came from the other end again, "Teacher, I have already issued a statement apologizing to everyone. Please rest assured that this matter will not cause any worse consequences."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zhengliang paused. He had only seen the negative impact of the incident and was unaware that she had already publicly apologized, which made it difficult for him to say anything more.

"In that case, you should take this as a warning and never leak unverified information in the future."

"I understand, teacher! There won't be a next time."

After hanging up the call, Lin Keke breathed a sigh of relief; she had finally gotten past the teacher.

You must understand that with the teacher's reputation in the field of ancient culture research, if he were to reject her, even if she were a young lady from the Lin family, she would still be subject to rejection from other colleagues. What would be the point of her painstakingly becoming his disciple?

Lin Keke easily turned the tide of the incident, and apart from Lin Shushu, the most disappointed person was Xiao Qin.

She originally thought that this time she could ruin Lin Keke's reputation, but she didn't expect the storm to disappear overnight. Lin Keke was really lucky.

Xiao Qin was somewhat disappointed that she hadn't been able to get any information about Lin Shushu's relationship with the Lin family from Ning Shiyu last time.

However, her suspicions didn't lessen, so she asked others to investigate, this time focusing on the elderly people who had come from the Lin family. What private residence doesn't have its secrets? No matter how thoroughly traces are erased, there will always be some clues to follow.

It's impossible for Xiao Qin to say that she no longer has feelings for Mo Ze. However, judging from Mo Ze's attitude towards her, Xiao Qin understands that even without Lin Shushu, she would never have been able to marry into the Mo family.

Since you know that what you're pursuing is hopeless, why are you still targeting Lin Shushu? In the end, it's nothing more than resentment. If I can't have it, why should you?

Xiao Qin always believed that with her family background and talent, she should not be outdone by Lin Shushu, whose origins were unknown. But the fact was that Mo Ze chose Lin Shushu instead of her.

Therefore, she was very willing to do anything that would upset Lin Shushu.

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze are not on the Imperial Star now, so there's not much she can do, but they will come back sooner or later, and then things will get interesting.

Thinking about it this way, Xiao Qin smiled. She really looked forward to that day!

M19 star.

Lin Shushu lay on a recliner in the waterside pavilion, admiring the lotus flowers blooming in the lake with great interest, enjoying the cool breeze while receiving spiritual fruits that Mo Ze occasionally fed her.

Beautiful scenery, handsome men, delicious food—Lin Shushu felt like she was becoming a little decadent. But so be it; after all, she never dared to dream of such a life before, and now it was a reality, so of course she had to enjoy it to the fullest.

Perhaps she was too engrossed in thinking, because when Mo Ze fed her again, Lin Shushu bit down on Mo Ze's finger. As if realizing that the taste was wrong, she subconsciously licked it.

Unbeknownst to her, her licking action ignited a flame in Mo Ze's eyes. It wasn't until a shadow fell over her that Lin Shushu realized what was happening. She was about to say something, but it was too late.

Warm lips covered hers, silencing the words she was about to utter, and a lingering and long kiss began.

Mo Ze only released Lin Shushu when her breathing became disordered and her face turned red.

Seeing Mo Ze's lingering expression, Lin Shushu glared at him, then flipped off the recliner and pushed Mo Ze down, making him lie in the spot where she had just been.

Mo Ze's eyes held a hint of excitement. "Shu Shu, what do you want to do? I'll do whatever you want."

"Really? Then close your eyes and don't move." Lin Shushu gave him a charming smile.

That laugh made Mo Ze forget where he was, and he did as he was told. In the darkness, he felt as if he were bound by something.

"Shushu, are you done?" Without any further instructions, Mo Ze could only ask.

To his surprise, after a long while, he still received no response. Mo Ze had no choice but to open his eyes, but Lin Shushu was nowhere to be seen.

He was about to get up to find her when he discovered he couldn't move. Mo Ze chuckled; it seemed Shu Shu was angry with him and was punishing him.

The two enjoyed their time alone, unaware that someone on the Imperial Star was waiting for them to return. What surprised them even more was that this person was Xiao Qin.
