Alicia stopped mid-sentence.
"What exactly?"
Mei's curiosity was piqued.
"I won't tell you, you'll find out when you see it, it'll be a real surprise! Oh, and don't you dare ask Kevin, he won't tell! Otherwise, I'll deliberately barge into your date and be a huge third wheel!"
After hanging up the phone, Alicia gave an OK sign and turned to Huang Quan, saying, "Everything went smoothly!"
"Don't worry, Mei, Mei will try her best to keep your identity a secret. If those big shots find out about you, you'll be in trouble... Never mind, Mei will handle everything."
"I understand, thank you, Alicia."
Huang Quan nodded. She could also sense Alicia's pure heart. She was genuinely thinking of herself, rather than pretending to appease her and bring her back to the Fire Moth to claim credit and reward.
"Hehe, no need to thank me, it's all I should do. I can't wait to see Mei's shocked expression when she sees you."
Alicia chuckled mischievously and said, "That May always seems so calm and collected. I've known her for so long, and I've never seen her lose her composure once. Honestly, I even wonder if she's like this when she's alone with Kevin..."
"Cough cough."
Kevin, who was standing nearby, coughed at the opportune moment.
"What's wrong, Kevin? Is your throat bothering you?"
"No, it's nothing."
Kevin glanced at Ellie, then looked away.
There were some private questions he couldn't answer, so he could only say... Beneath her seemingly elegant and intellectual exterior, Mei actually harbors a passionate heart...
Thinking about this, Kevin felt a little smug.
So this is how you all see Mei? But she's completely different when you're with me in private!
Well, the Kevin we know now isn't the heartless and emotionless Kevin from 50,000 years in the future. At this point, Kevin is still a normal young man with his own secret passions.
However, although Huang Quan looks exactly like his girlfriend, Kevin has no feelings for Huang Quan whatsoever.
He loves his lover's inner qualities, not just her outward appearance.
If we're really talking about looks, many of Kevin's suitors at Thousand Feather Academy were no less attractive than Dr. Mei, and quite a few were even daughters of noble families. Besides, Mei was so focused on her studies back then that she didn't really care much about dressing up...
Compared to the other young ladies, Mei didn't actually have an advantage, but as the saying goes, "a turtle and a green bean are kindred spirits."
But then again, even a STEM-minded, straight woman like May was smitten, which shows just how charming Kevin really is.
Back in Qianyu Academy, Kevin was already a well-known prince. With his level of charm, attracting women would have been incredibly easy for him. However, after meeting Mei, he began to keep his distance from other women.
The oldest pure love warrior from 50,000 years ago!
Looking at Kevin beside him, Huang Quan's face showed a blank expression. The past had long since vanished into nothingness, but in that extremely blurry memory, Huang Quan remembered that he seemed to have had a companion who was very similar to Kevin... However, the final ending was very cruel.
Huang Quan gripped the hilt of the knife gently, lost in thought.
"They've arrived! It's the plane Dr. Mei sent to pick us up!"
On the rooftop of the skyscraper, Alicia tidied her wind-blown hair and smiled at Yomi behind her.
In the howling wind, Huang Quan's trench coat fluttered loudly, and his purple hair danced in the wind.
"Hey, young people, I've come to pick you up."
The pilot of the helicopter was Hen, one of the combat personnel of the Fire Moth, and also Kevin's captain. This time, because Hen needed to carry out a mission alone in another place, only Kevin and Alicia came to this city.
No one expected that the Herrscher would appear so quickly.
Of course, what I didn't expect was that this Herrscher would also die so quickly.
Free to live, quick to die.
"Hiss... This is the new person you were talking about? Is this really not Kevin, your sister-in-law?"
Hen looked at Huang Quan standing next to Alicia and said with a surprised expression.
"No, that's not true. You know, Mei has no family left in this world except me."
Kevin said with a hint of helplessness.
"You brat, you're not even married yet, and you're already assuming you're family with Dr. Mei?"
"What else? I don't think anyone can pry my cornerstone off."
Kevin responded to Hen's teasing with an air of self-righteousness.
"What would you do if it were really stolen?"
"I will...?" "Another Mountain Rain VII" I'll end his life with a single blow!
Kevin answered without hesitation.
Seeing this, Hen also laughed heartily.
"Miss, hold on tight, we're about to set off."
As Hen spoke, he directly piloted the helicopter to take off.
Before long, Huang Quan and his group arrived inside a base.
This is a branch of the Firemoth; to reach headquarters, you need to take a plane from here.
After all, helicopters don't have enough range.
However, the branch is not far from the headquarters.
Shortly after, Huang Quan disembarked from the plane and arrived at a secret military facility.
This is the headquarters of the Firemoth.
"Alright, I'll take Mei to see Mei then. Hehe, I'm really looking forward to seeing Mei's expression after she sees Mei!"
As she walked, Alicia's face showed an expectant smile.
Huang Quan (pre-Honkai civilization): 6: Alicia: Our meeting must be a miracle with a tiny probability.
The headquarters of the Fire Moth was within Huang Quan's expectations; it was a typical high-intensity base located in a secret facility, with guards and combatants everywhere, making it very well-defended.
As an organization tasked with dealing with Honkai disasters, this level of defense is not surprising.
However, the guards all showed expressions of shock when they saw Huang Quan's face.
This looks so much like Dr. Mei!
If it weren't for their different attire, they might have mistaken the two for each other.
Dr. Mei, as a researcher, would not wear such clothes.
With Alicia and Kevin leading the way, Huang Quan made it smoothly to an office.
This is Dr. Mei's office. On weekdays, if she is not in the laboratory, she will work here.
"Mei, we're back!"
Alicia knocked on the door and opened it only after receiving a response from the person inside.
Actually, Alicia didn't knock at first. It wasn't until one day when she opened the door and bumped into Kevin and May that she developed this habit.
"So soon? Welcome back, Ellie, and Kevin too."
Upon entering the room, Dr. May was sitting in her seat, holding a manuscript. She smiled upon seeing Alicia and Kevin.
"Where's the person you're talking about? Stop keeping me in suspense, Ellie..."
Seeing that only two people walked in, Mei said with a hint of helplessness.
"Hehe, you'll be very surprised! Mei~ You can come in now."
Ellie put her hands to her mouth and spoke towards the door.
Seeing this, Huang Quan outside the door sighed and then slowly walked in.
She could have just gone in, but faced with Alicia's persistent pleas, she chose to wait outside.
Few people could refuse Alicia's request, right? At least Huang Quan couldn't stand the girl's coquettish pleading.
"first meet."
Huang Quan walked into the room and looked at Dr. Mei.
For a moment, they stared at each other, and Dr. Mei's eyes showed a moment of surprise.
Click.
The shutter of the phone clicked, and Dr. May's expression was captured on Ellie's phone.
"Hehe, that's exactly the expression I wanted to see~"
Ellie held her phone, smiling as she looked at Dr. Mei.
"You... Ellie."
Mei was speechless at Ellie's teasing. Ellie was always like this, very playful. However, no one in the Fire Moth base could control her, so they just let her be.
"If I remember correctly... my father didn't have any illegitimate daughters... wait, you look a bit older than me..."
Mei looked at Huang Quan, who bore a striking resemblance to her, and a conflicted expression appeared on her face.
"In the universe, there will always be different worlds where similar people appear. This is not a strange thing."
Huang Quan shook his head slightly and said casually.
However, what she said made Dr. Mei freeze for a moment.
What exactly did Huang Quan mean by that?
Even Alicia, who was standing to the side, widened her eyes, her gaze filled with excitement.
Kevin looked puzzled, not understanding why his girlfriend and Alicia made such expressions because of that sentence.
At this stage, Kevin is still a sunny young man, so it's normal that he doesn't understand.
There is still a certain gap between him and the philosopher Kevin of later generations.
Looking at the two of them, Huang Quan pondered for a moment and then briefly introduced his background.
After all, she would be spending a lot of time with Ellie and the others. A brief introduction of her background would help her gain their trust. After all, if there is suspicion among companions, there could be many misunderstandings.
