Hey, look here: the meteorite crisis is over!
On the large rooftop of the school, Bai Lingyun was still gazing fixedly at the meteorite being moved towards the sea. Just then, Su Yan's voice came, pulling Bai Lingyun's gaze back from afar.
Mr. Su, you're back?
Bai Lingyun looked at Su Yan, who was gradually deactivating his armor in front of her, and had no idea when he had reappeared on the rooftop.
It wasn't just her. Even the college students on the ground below hadn't noticed Su Yan's return. He had used his acceleration to reach the rooftop during the last wave of intense light jets, and by the time the strong light dissipated, Su Yan had already landed. Naturally, no one saw him.
"Of course I'm back, my speech isn't over yet!"
"Let's go!" Su Yan chuckled softly, picked up the suit he had tossed on the ground earlier, brushed off the dust, then calmly put it on and walked towards the rooftop door.
Bai Lingyun gazed at Su Yan's smile, remembering how calm and composed he was when he transformed into Iron Man to block the meteorite. She was mesmerized, and her thoughts drifted off to an unknown place.
"Xiaobai? Why aren't you moving?" Su Yan walked to the rooftop, preparing to close the door, and noticed Bai Lingyun standing there in a daze, looking at him. He waved his hand.
"Oh! I'm coming!" Bai Lingyun startled awake. Thinking of how she had lost herself just now, her small face involuntarily flushed red. She lowered her head and quickly scurried over, no longer daring to meet Su Yan's gaze.
The two re-entered the elevator.
Bai Lingyun stood beside Su Yan, her gaze unconsciously drifting to him. But whenever she saw his side profile, her face inexplicably felt hot, and her heart, which had been calm for a year, began to thump wildly.
"What's wrong with me…" Bai Lingyun immediately noticed her own strangeness and wanted to forcefully suppress these unusual emotions.
But no matter what, as long as she thought of Su Yan being beside her, Bai Lingyun couldn't control her eyes from drifting towards him. With every glance, the emotions she had painstakingly suppressed would surge anew.
"Su… Mr. Su… how did you stop the meteorite just now?" Sensing the quiet atmosphere in the elevator and realizing her mind was constantly wandering, Bai Lingyun quickly asked this question to distract herself from her wild thoughts.
However, as soon as she asked the question, she regretted it.
How he stopped the meteorite, she had seen with her own eyes. Moreover, those technologies were confidential. Asking him like this was tantamount to intentionally prying.
"Why? Are you very curious?" Su Yan smiled and glanced at Bai Lingyun.
From his relaxed demeanor, it was clear that Bai Lingyun was overthinking it.
"Actually, it's nothing amazing. If you saw my live broadcast saving people in Seoul back then, you should have some impression of my similar technology.
That's right, what I used today is the brand new, upgraded, invincible, heaven-shattering, earth-destroying, electro-dance improved version of that smart AI!"
"Pfft!" Hearing such a chuunibyo name, Bai Lingyun couldn't help but burst out laughing.
If these words were spoken by anyone else, Bai Lingyun wouldn't have reacted, her heart wouldn't have stirred at all, and she might even have found them a bit ridiculous!
But coming from Su Yan's mouth, she inexplicably found it hilarious.
Perhaps this was why many men in reality were puzzled… why they tried every possible way to make a goddess laugh, but in the goddess's eyes, their actions were nothing short of idiotic.
Yet, with a different person, the goddess's laughter threshold instantly lowered, and any uncouth joke could make her laugh uncontrollably.
Everything depended on the person.
"Mr. Su, I think you're more approachable than the image your classmates have of you. You don't put on any airs at all!" The atmosphere became lively, and Bai Lingyun was naturally less reserved than before, smiling as she evaluated Su Yan.
"Actually, I'm the same age as you guys! I just graduated two years ago. You're a few years younger than me. Although I have impressive achievements now, I'm still just a fresh-faced young man who just entered society!"
"And to avoid revealing that I'm just a fresh-faced young man, I deliberately didn't accept any interviews from reporters… A glorious image must be maintained, right?"
Su Yan's words made Bai Lingyun feel especially close.
At the same time, she felt that the distance between them had shortened considerably.
She had thought that such a big boss like Su Yan would have some sort of boss-like demeanor, but from what she saw now, he seemed just like a classmate of hers!
Thus, the atmosphere between them grew even livelier.
As they chatted, the two returned to the floor where the school auditorium was located.
"Oh no! Mr. Su! You finally appeared, I thought something had happened to you!" As Liu Yi stepped out of the elevator, the anxious school executives in the hallway immediately rushed forward excitedly.
"I'm fine. Should the speech continue?" Su Yan asked with a smile.
"Continue! Of course, continue!"
"I've already asked the teachers to notify the students and tell them to come quickly!" the school executives hastily said.
A moment later, all the students were gathered in the auditorium, and the school's centennial celebration continued.
"Everyone saw that meteorite just now, right?" Su Yan said as he walked onto the stage. "The centennial celebration of our Modu University of Finance and Economics even startled God, who specially sent us such a great gift… This fully shows that God truly has eyes!"
Su Yan's words immediately drew a burst of laughter from the audience, and the originally somewhat chilly atmosphere instantly warmed up.
Just like that, Su Yan continued his speech, and the centennial celebration proceeded smoothly.
"Finally done!"
"Today has really been a turbulent time!" Su Yan got into his car and rubbed his temples.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., remember to assist the government in searching for those who attempted to commit crimes during the meteorite fall. Throw all those guys into prison!"
