Next Day~
Alright, time to get back into full-on secret agent mode. Today's mission? Hunt down Jiang's research files, sneak into their core, and slowly wreck their plans from the inside. Easy-peasy… hopefully.
But before that...
I spin around, pointing at Jiang, who's sitting cross-legged on the couch, munching on some leftover snacks from last night.
"Listen, Jiang! I can't take my phone inside the research center. And if you ever call me while I'm there—no alien talk, got it?"
He blinks, confused. "No alien talk?"
"Yes!" I wag my finger. "If anyone else picks up, just say, 'Oh, I'm just her boyfriend. Please tell her to call me back.' No weird codes, no 'I'm from galaxy K-whatever,' and definitely no antenna talk."
He nods seriously, stuffing more food in his mouth. "Understood. Just normal boyfriend talk."
"Exactly." I narrow my eyes. "My whole plan depends on it."
"Okay! I be normal!" He gives a proud thumbs-up.
Sigh… I hope so.
