"Mr. Xian!" I rush up to him, my voice urgent. "I really need to talk to you alone—it's super, super important."
He just laughs softly, patting my shoulder like I'm being overly dramatic. "Well, I've got something really important to tell you too. Let's talk in my cabin."
Then he calls out casually, "Mrs. Qin, please take over here for now."
Wait—Mrs. Qin?
I glance over my shoulder and freeze.
There she is, standing on an upper platform, clipboard in hand, giving me a polite little wave.
Holy moly. I knew it.
NBRC and NSRO are working together. That explains so much. Interesting... very interesting.
He guides me toward his super sleek cabin. As he settles into his chair, he motions for me to sit opposite him.
I sit down, trying to steady my nerves. With a small chuckle, he says, "Yunhua, you must have a lot of questions, right?"
Not really. I've got an alien boyfriend at home, so yeah, I kind of get what secret research these guys must be cooking up.
