You stirred up a pool of starlight, and became my moon.
Intense romantic push and pull x second male lead takes the lead
At a competitive robot simulation match, Xu Mengzhi is thoroughly trounced by the good friend of the senior she likes. During the post-match debrief, he sits beside her.
She turns to tease him. "Why come back to the country? To beat up the weak?"
Ji Xingchen seems to answer a different question. "I want to know, can a girl like two people at the same time?"
Still immersed in the match, she replies offhandedly, "Parallel processing? Of course you can!"
Ji Xingchen looks up. His expression shifts between light and dark as his gaze falls on her face. He says nothing.
Xu Mengzhi remembers a year ago, on an overseas optics forum. She sent a private message to a deep-learning expert to ask a technical question, but the system automatically replied with four cold words: "Private messages are disabled."
After leaving messages persistently, she finally received a private message from the expert: "What do you want?"
Note: This is about competitive robotics, not a stock-picking romance. The RM in the story is based on RoboMaster, with some fictionalized and exaggerated details.
Theme: Keep your head among the stars and your feet on the ground.
