We moved to Golden Courtyard

Since Mei insisted, Xu Qi naturally wouldn't say anything more.

He reached out and patted Mei's little head, seemingly with some relief—feeling that Mei was becoming more and more mature and reliable.

"Okay, if you need anything, just let me know."

As Xu Qi spoke, he glanced at Mebius.

“There are some resources that I may not have, but I know people who do. As for how to get her to provide them, that’s my business.”

Mebius grinned – "That damned little white mouse, it dares to provoke me!"

Of course, it was just a joke after all.

But... a quantum scientist?

To be honest, Dr. Mei is actually the real top person in this field, but first of all, we don't know each other very well.

Secondly...

Mebius probably knew the purpose behind Mei's actions. After all... she had just discussed this topic with Eden not long ago.

Then it's even less suitable to look for Mei.

Since Mei herself has realized this problem, why not just recommend the guy Eden introduced to her?

"Yes, there is, and I can assure you that their research in the quantum field is quite profound."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Qi beside him.

"No worse than that Dr. Mei."

So why are you looking at me?

Mei and I are innocent!

"Really?" Mei's face lit up with joy.

"Okay, I'll give you her phone number in a bit. As for how to address her... just call her Professor Planck."

······

In the car, Xu Qi glanced at Mebius in the passenger seat and laughed, "I didn't expect you to actually recommend a boyfriend for Mei."

"Why not? It's not a big deal anyway."

Moreover, this connection isn't mine, it belongs to your sister Eden.

"But speaking of which... Professor, why would you want to take me to a cemetery?"

I want to take you to meet someone.

"Ok?"

"Klein."

……

"Watch the road! You're not paying attention while driving. Do you think we have too many lives?"

"Oh, oh!"

Xu Qi quickly came to his senses.

Even so, my feelings at that moment were still complex and hard to describe.

Klein… Of course he knew the name. In fact, it could be said that Möbius’s fondness for him was also due to the name.

It was because of Klein that Xu Qi was able to understand Möbius's "infinity," and it was precisely because of this understanding that Möbius unknowingly...

I've fallen in love with such a kindred spirit. (See Chapter 138)

In truth, Klein could even be considered the origin of their relationship—even though he is now buried in the grave.

“I’ve actually wanted to bring you here for a long time, but… I never had the chance. Since I have some free time during this National Day holiday, I thought I’d bring you here.”

That's probably not the reason...

As Mebius watched the scenery rushing past the car window, a hint of loneliness and melancholy would occasionally flash in his eyes.

Xu Qi had never seen Mebius with such an expression.

For the professor, his assistant, Klein, clearly held extraordinary significance.

"In the past, I was always the one getting to know you, and you never held anything back. You never tried to change anything to cater to my preferences, as if you were telling me..."

See? This is Xu Qi. If you don't like it, I can accept it.

You're really arrogant.

Xu Qi scratched his head awkwardly. He had to admit that Mebius's summary of him was always spot on.

“But I don’t think I’ve ever told you about my past.”

Xu Qi's eyes widened suddenly!

Although Mebius reminded him to concentrate on driving, Xu Qi's eyes still couldn't help but dart towards the snake beside him.

Oh my god...

Snake has stopped being stubborn! My youth is over.

"Didn't you always ask me why all the intelligent robots are named Klein? And who exactly was that dead Klein?"

Xu Qi nodded.

A hint of reminiscence flashed in Snake's eyes, which rarely showed sadness.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you everything today. I'll tell you everything about Möbius, everything you want to know."

But only for today, and... you're not allowed to forget. If I ever find out you've forgotten today..."

Mebius lowered his eyes, wanting to say something harsh to Xu Qi, but found it difficult to utter even words against his will.

“Then I will be sad, Xu Qi.”

475. Möbius is actually very soft, so soft it makes your heart tremble...

In the cemetery, in front of Klein's tombstone.

Xu Qi and Mebius bowed at the same time and presented a flower.

"Her name is Klein. She was my student when I was still a doctoral supervisor at the university."

With his hands tucked into the pockets of his white coat, a hint of nostalgia welled up in Möbius's eyes.

"Later, I came here with Eden, and she naturally came with me. I only told you before that she died. But it seems I haven't told you anything else."

Xu Qi considerately put his arm around Mebius's shoulder and remained silent.

"At this moment, he really resembles my boyfriend."

"It's like that in the lab most of the time, but it's even more like that at night."

Knowing what Xu Qi was joking about, Mebius rolled her eyes, but she also knew that Xu Qi didn't want the atmosphere to be too heavy.

He didn't want to see himself looking too sad.

"It's not like you're going to marry me."

"I will."

You could clearly feel Mebius's body tremble in your arms.

"But we have to wait behind Mei."

Möbius chuckled – “I knew this would be the answer… My little guinea pig is getting more and more fickle; having a breeder like me isn’t enough for it.”

Xu Qi grinned, but didn't answer.

"If I were the first person to meet you, I would definitely guard you closely and prevent you from having affairs with other women."

I believe that.

"But unfortunately, not only did you realize your own feelings by the time you were already taken by another woman, but I myself... am already an old woman."

Xu Qi frowned.

He leaned close to Möbius's neck and gently inhaled the other's fragrance.

"Stop it, it itches... I know what you're trying to comfort me about."

Professor Möbius liked to speak bluntly, even when talking to others, she preferred them to be clear and direct. She wasn't afraid of being hurt, because she was used to it.

"I'm over thirty, past the prime of a woman's life. The reason I look so young now is because of a biological experiment."

Perhaps one day, when you are old, with graying temples and a full head of white hair, I will still look as young and beautiful as I do now.

Xu Qi was puzzled.

"Isn't this good?"

“If it were just me alone, that would be the best.” Möbius turned his head and looked directly at Xu Qi. “But I want to grow old with you.”

……

Today, Mebius's lips are softer than usual, almost heart-meltingly.

Looking back at the tombstone before him, Möbius said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. As for the future... we'll talk about it later. If all else fails, I'll just put on some wrinkles and pretend to be lame..."

Suddenly pulled into Xu Qi's embrace, Mebius felt the turbulent thoughts and love in the young man's heart, and even his snake-like cold pupils warmed a little.

"Okay, stop acting like a child..."

After releasing Xu Qi, Möbius continued, "Do you know why I chose biology as my major? Of course, you can explain it by saying I'm exceptionally gifted."

But it doesn't make sense to say that you'll like or do a job just because you're good at something, right?

Xu Qi nodded.

"My mother died when I was very young, from a difficult childbirth. Perhaps it was fate that she named me Möbius when she gave birth to me."

To be honest, I don't feel anything, and I don't have any particular feelings about the word 'mother'.

As he spoke, Möbius fiddled with his right ear again, with the earring that resembled a Möbius strip.

"But she gave me this, isn't it pretty?"

Of course—when I argue with someone at night, I can still see this earring swaying back and forth.

Seemingly aware of what Xu Qi was thinking, even a woman like Mebius couldn't help but blush and glare fiercely at Xu Qi.

Xu Qi scratched his head awkwardly.

"And what about your father?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qi could clearly feel that the girl next to him was becoming cold and sinister.

"He was a doctor and an alcoholic. He thought my birth had killed his wife, so in his eyes I was a jinx, and he often beat and scolded me."

On my ninth birthday, he drank again, and that was the worst beating he ever gave me. He took a stick and beat me like a dead dog before throwing me out of the house.

I remember it very clearly; it rained that day—I should say, it was the closest I ever came to death.

Xu Qi's hands and heart were trembling—a gloomy anger enveloped his heart, yet he had nowhere to vent it.

Seeing this, Mebius took the initiative to hold Xu Qi's hand.

"It's okay... that was all when I was a kid."

Xu Qi pursed his lips and remained silent.

"That day I thought I should be dead, but for some reason, I survived. I was finally able to run away from home because I felt that this way, I could finally be even with my father."

I killed his wife, and he killed me once—it's fair. It's just that humans… they're truly disgusting. The darkness in their hearts can turn them into monsters.

When I was doing my research at MIT, everyone in the biology community thought I was a monster—a hypocrite crying "stop thief!" They were simply jealous of my talent because they lacked the ability to explore the mysteries of the human body.

Xu Qi opened his mouth.

"They don't understand your philosophy or your ideas; they only see your achievements. You are actually a treasure of the world, but... no one is willing to admit it."

Möbius turned his head and stared at Xu Qi.

He's just a child, yet he seems to really understand her... Yes, he really does understand her.

Now, however, I can finally understand Möbius better, and learn about her past...
