CHAPTER 72

Qin Zhaoci timidly looked up at her and quickly blinked, shaking her head. "It shouldn't be, I haven't told my mother and the others yet." she said.

Ye Lianyin turned her head and stared at her coldly for a few seconds, then snorted coldly, "Oh, then I should really thank you."

Qin Zhaoci looked at her cold expression, lowered her head and dared not speak.

Seeing Qin Zhaoci feeling guilty and hesitant to answer, a hint of bitterness flashed in Ye Lianyin's eyes. After a few seconds of silence, she let out a long sigh and said, "Qin Zhaoci, during this period of time, I thought we were already very familiar with each other, but now that I think about it, it was just me being overly sentimental."　

Qin Zhaoci heard Ye Lianyin's sigh and unconsciously looked up at her. She saw Ye Lianyin's lonely eyes drooping, putting down her chopsticks, and got up to go upstairs.

A few moments later, Ye Lianyin went downstairs with her backpack and walked to the entrance to change her shoes.

Seeing this, Qin Zhaoci hurriedly said, "I put dumplings, fruits, and some vegetarian food in the refrigerator. You can make them yourself when you're hungry."

"No need." said Ye Lianyin, tying her shoe laces with an indifferent tone, "I'll just drink the nutrient solution, you don't have to worry about me, I've been through this before."

Looking at Ye Lianyin's indifferent and distant appearance, Qin Zhaoci frowned with anxiety and sadness, she felt as if she had messed up something, but she couldn't find any way to redeem herself, so she just watched Ye Lianyin put on her shoes and drove to the school by herself.

After Ye Lianyin left, the house instantly quieted down. Qin Zhaoci turned her head and looked at the empty living room, as if a piece was missing in her heart.

Just like that, she sat idly in the living room for more than ten minutes, only when the housekeeping robot came to tidy up the dishes did she awaken from her daze.

Looking at the time, it was almost time for Sun Sui to pick her up to the space station. Qin Zhaoci quickly went upstairs and brought down the luggage that she had packed last night.

After a while, Qin Zhaoci heard the sound of a horn outside the door. She knew that it was Sun Sui who came, and she went out with her luggage and put her things into the car.

On the way to the space station, Qin Zhaoci was too silent.

It made Sun Sui feel a little uncomfortable. She looked at her several times, but in the end, she couldn't help but ask Qin Zhaoci: "Ms. Xiao Qin, what's wrong? Has something happened?" 

Qin Zhaoci glanced at her and remained silent for a few seconds before asking, "Secretary Sun, how old are you this year?"

Sun Sui replied, "I graduated from Imperial Academy at the age of 27, and I am 32 years old this year. I have worked in the Qin Company for five years."

Upon hearing that Sun Sui was much older than herself, Qin Zhaoci quickly blinked her eyes and said, "Secretary Sun, are you married?"

"No." Sun Sui shook her head. "I've been very busy with work these past few years, surrounded by colleagues. As you know, Ms. Xiao Qin, the main employment force in the Empire now is mostly Alpha and Beta, and there's not much opportunity to get in touch with Omega, so I haven't been married."

Then when you were in Imperial Academy, you always had a partner, right? What gender do you prefer? Male or female? How many times have you had romantic experiences?" Qin Zhaoci asked Sun Sui as if checking her household registration.

After hearing this, Sun Sui looked embarrassed and carefully recalled, "I like women. I have had two girlfriends before. My first love was an Omega, and my second girlfriend was a Beta. However, in the end, they both broke up with me for some reason."

"In that case, you should have more experience in love than I do, right?" Qin Zhaoci didn't ask Sun Sui about the reason for their breakup.

Sun Sui turned her head to look at Qin Zhaoci, with a puzzled expression in her eyes. After a moment, she nodded and said, "Well, it is indeed the case according to the number of relationship." 

"Then do you know how to coax an Omega when they gets angry?" Qin Zhaoci's eyes lit up, and she looked at Sun Sui for help.

Seeing Qin Zhaoci's anxious expression, Sun Sui vaguely guessed that Ye Lianyin might be angry with her, no wonder she was absent-minded as soon as she got in the car.

After careful consideration, Sun Sui replied, "To be honest, my first girlfriend and I broke up  because she thought I was preoccupied with my studies, uninterested in style, and that I wasn't romantic." 

"Every time she was angry, I was at a loss for words, according to my past practice, it's mostly sending flowers, buying gifts, or kissing her, these are just a few methods. Although these methods don't always work, it depends on the situation. Sometimes they don't work even after a week of coaxing."

"Ah, is that all?" Qin Zhaoci pursed her lips in disappointment, "You are too lacking in novelty." 

"Yeah." Sun Sui showed embarrassment. "Sorry."

"After two love experiences, I feel that It's not just Omega, as long as it's love, there will always be conflicts, the other party will get angry, and they will need to be coaxed. It has nothing to do with gender, so an elm person like me should not be able to provide you with good advice."

After listening to her narration, Qin Zhaoci nodded in agreement: "Yeah, you are really quite an elm, and I am already worried about your future now."

"Yeah." Sun Sui smiled embarrassedly, "I am now considering and waiting for my age to turn 40 to go to the Empire's marriage matching system and use the genetic matching rate to find a suitable marriage partner."

"Genetic matching rate?" Qin Zhaoci felt that the name seemed familiar, "I seem to have heard that the genetic matching rate between me and Ye Lianyin is as high as 95%."

Sun Sui nodded: "Yes, the genetic matching rate is actually the matching rate of pheromones. If the matching rate is high, the children born from the combination of the two will also be better. The genetic matching rate can reach 80%, which is already a rare value. So you and Ms. Ye are really a match made in heaven."

Hearing Sun Sui praise herself and Ye Lianyin, Qin Zhaoci unconsciously curled her lips, and pretended to be courteous as she waved her hand, "No, no, you'll also meet them too, Secretary Sun." 

Chatting with Sun Sui like this, Qin Zhaoci temporarily forgot about Ye Lianyin's anger, and when they arrived at the space station, Sun Sui waved her hands and bid farewell to Qin Zhaoci.

Because Sun Sui was not used to Pastoral Planet's climate before, Qin Zhaoci simply told her not to go and stayed in the Empire, waiting for her news at any time.

Moreover, if Sun Sui was present, it would be inconvenient for her to take out many things from her space, which would be quite troublesome. Therefore, she might as well not go.    

Because she will be staying on the Pastoral Planet for a period of time, her personal cabin will not stay on the planet.

After landing on the Pastoral Planet, Qin Zhaoci took her luggage down and walked to a safe distance. After a while, the personal cabin rose up and returned to the spaceship.

Upon seeing this, Qin Zhaoci turned around and walked towards the small western-style house.

This was Qin Zhaoci's first time seeing the finished product of a small western-style house, and seeing a small courtyard in front of her, she was very satisfied. With her iris scanned, she opened the door, and walked in.

After she boarded the spaceship, Sun Sui told her that this small courtyard was temporarily added by the real estate and transportation company when they arrived at Pastoral Planet to build the foundation, and thought it would be safer.

There wasn't much decoration in the courtyard, it was all bare land. After looking around, Qin Zhaoci decided to plant some vegetables here in the future. When she opened the door, the living room inside was exactly what Qin Zhaoci had imagined.

Qin Zhaoci immediately took out slippers from her space, took off her shoes and placed them in the shoe cabinet, put the slippers on, put down her luggage, walked in with big strides, and visited from the third floor to the first floor.

After the visit, Qin Zhaoci checked the electricity and water pressure of her small western-style house again, and everything was fine without any problems.

This made Qin Zhaoci extremely happy. Her biggest dream before was to own such a house, but she didn't expect this dream to come true here.

After getting excited, Qin Zhaoci walked into her master bedroom on the second floor with her luggage, and put the clothes she had brought into her cloakroom.

She only loaded a portion of the clothes in the luggage, and the rest was in her space. After the luggage was transferred, she took out the clothes from the space and filled the cloakroom.

Then she walked into the bathroom and placed things such as sandals, toiletries, and so on.

After Qin Zhaoci finished all this, it was already afternoon.

She touched her stomach that had been growling for a long time, and quickly went downstairs to prepare lunch for herself.

Meanwhile, Ye Lianyin and Lin Jiayi are already conducting an afternoon experiment.

Lin Jiayi also noticed Ye Lianyin's displeasure on this day, as her eyebrows had been slightly furrowed and her expression was much quieter than usual.

"Why can't I get this to work?" Ye Lianyin's tone was a little irritated.

Lin Jia took a closer look and found that a part was stuck, and Ye Lianyin couldn't disassemble it.

She quickly stepped forward to help, and soon, with her help, the parts were removed.

"Are you in a bad mood today?" After Lin Jiayi took off the parts, she finally couldn't help asking this question. She didn't know what happened to Ye Lianyin this week after she asked for leave, which made her so anxious all of a sudden. 

Ye Lianyin raised her hand and rubbed between her eyebrows, then shook her head: "It's nothing, it's just some private matter, did my emotions affect you? I'm sorry." 

"It's okay." Lin Jiayi shook her head, "I just think you're a little upset, but it didn't affect me."

"Hm, that's good." Ye Lianyin breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

Lin Jiayi raised her arm, looked at the time of her optical brain, turned to look at Ye Lianyin, pursed her lips and said, "Why don't we go sit on the rooftop for now and clear our head before coming down to continue the experiment?"

"Mm, okay." Ye Lianyin lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, feeling that her state indeed needed to be adjusted, so she agreed.

The two went to the rooftop of the school together, standing on a high place, with the wind blowing, Ye Lianyin became much sober and rational.

Lin Jiayi stood beside her, observing her secretly from the corner of her eye, watching the wind blow her long hair, revealing her smooth forehead and her delicate and clean facial features.

"Sister Lin, do you have someone you like?" Ye Lianyin looked ahead and suddenly opened up a topic.
