I built the Black Tower City in Sumeru.

Chapter 75 Farusan: Meeting Anil was like Lu Mingfei meeting Nono.

Chapter 75 Farusan: Meeting Anil was like Lu Mingfei meeting Nono.

After working for several hours, Farusan rubbed her shoulders, checked the time—it was already 8 p.m., still early. Chen Bo hadn't returned yet.

Afterwards, Farusan sat down at the large desk in the living room and began helping Chen Bo translate the fantasy novels he had brought over.

This book is called Dragon Raja; it's truly a lonely one.

Farusan felt that she was a bit like Lu Mingfei. Meeting Anil was like Lu Mingfei meeting Nuonuo; the sky had brightened considerably.

"Hmph, these kinds of popular books are a piece of cake for a senior like me."

At first, she was indeed very capable.

Moreover, it was merely a translation from Sumeru into the Inazuma script, yet Farusan effortlessly achieved faithfulness, expressiveness, and elegance.

She can translate even older languages, let alone modern ones.

In the living room, only the ticking of the clock and the scratching of her pen on paper could be heard.

Time quietly ticked from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Farusan rubbed her slightly sore eyes and subconsciously glanced at the tightly closed door. There was still no sound from outside.

She put down her pen and poured herself a glass of water.

"When you're doing scientific research, it's normal to forget to eat and sleep." She comforted herself by talking to the air, as if trying to convince herself, "When I was engrossed in solving puzzles, didn't I often forget the time too? It's normal, it's normal."

She sat back down at the table, trying to refocus her attention on the translation, but her mind wandered.

It's eleven o'clock again.

Farusan's translation speed slowed down noticeably, and she began to frequently look up at the dark night outside the window.

The rainforest nights are not peaceful. Although Anil is protected by his mech, he is, after all, just an ordinary person without the Eye of God.

She started having uncontrollable wild thoughts.

"Was it... that we encountered an ambush by the Gilded Troupe on the way back?"

"Or did the mech malfunction and get stuck in the wilderness?"

And: "Or perhaps—he simply didn't want to stay, and all those things he said before were just to appease me?"

The moment this thought crossed her mind, Farusan felt completely overwhelmed.

In the fairly large living room, only her slightly rapid breathing could be heard.

Today, however, she felt a long-lost sense of loneliness that almost swallowed her whole.

I got used to living alone a few years ago and didn't think much of it. But now, I've gotten used to living with Cole and I'm starting to look forward to it.

Because of her expectations, the feeling of disappointment was magnified countless times, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Ding-dong"

'

The old pendulum clock on the wall struck twelve.

The dull sound, like a heavy hammer, shattered the last bit of patience in her heart.

Worry, anxiety, and a little bit of grievance all transformed into anger at this moment.

"Snapped!"

Farusan slammed the book shut.

"You bastard Anil! How dare you stand up your senior!"

She suddenly stood up, like an enraged caged beast, pacing back and forth in the living room, her exquisite leather shoes making a crisp "tap, tap, tap" sound on the floor.

"They're getting bolder and bolder! They actually dared to forget what they promised!"

"Making me wait so long! Unforgivable!"

"If you don't come back tonight, don't even think about setting foot in this house again! Go sleep in your lab!"

After saying that, she angrily turned off the bright main light in the living room with a "snap".

The room instantly darkened, with only a dim wall lamp in the corner still lit, making the entire room gloomy.

Falushan took a deep breath, walked to the sofa, and sat down with her arms crossed.

Loneliness caught up with her once again.

Outside the door, a faint yet familiar sound of the thrusters shutting off finally came.

Two o'clock in the morning, in Sumeru City.

Chen Bo stood in front of a rather old-fashioned house, guiltily straightening his clothes that were covered in engine oil and dust.

It's over, Barbie Q.

He looked up at the second-floor window, which was pitch black inside. Could his senior already be asleep?

No, that's not right. If my senior is asleep, where will I sleep tonight?

It's definitely not right to just pick any room.

But the senior is already asleep, so it wouldn't be right to wake him up.

Or maybe I should just go back to my own home to sleep tonight.

Just as Chen Bo was hesitating, the door to the room creaked open by itself.

A gentle breeze carried a few fallen leaves out through the crack in the door.

It is the power of the wind element.

Farusian was still awake and used the wind to open the door for herself.

He forced himself to go inside. The living room was dark, with only moonlight streaming through the windows, casting dappled shadows on the floor.

A petite figure sat upright on the sofa, her arms crossed over her chest.

Farusian didn't speak, but Chen Bo could already feel the pressure.

I can't believe I kept my senior waiting for so long. Sigh, I got really focused when I was designing the blueprints.

Before the other party could speak, Chen Bo slid forward, raised his hands high, and assumed a standard surrender posture.

"Senior! I was wrong! I got so engrossed in my research that I completely forgot about the time. I'm so sorry I'm back so late."

"I'll definitely set an alarm next time, and even if I can't come back right away, I should at least send you a message."

A brief silence fell over the living room; Chen Bo could even hear his own heartbeat.

In fact, the moment Chen Bo appeared at the door, most of the anger in Farusan's heart had already dissipated.

As long as he comes back, that's all that matters.

She waited from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., and then from 10 p.m. to midnight. She couldn't help but wonder if Anil was just saying it casually to fool her, his senior.

Then the more I thought about it, the angrier I got.

But when she heard a noise outside the door, Farusian immediately stopped being angry.

"Hmph." Farusan let out a soft snort from her nose, stood up, and turned on the light.

"It's good that you came back." She put her hands on her hips, adopting a senior's air, "Don't let it happen again!"

"Yes, yes, I promise! There will definitely be no next time!" Chen Bo nodded repeatedly.

Just as the tense atmosphere eased slightly...

"Gurgle—"

'

An untimely sound came from Chen Bo's stomach.

I've been busy all day and haven't eaten anything yet.

For Chen Bo, 2 a.m. is not late. Under normal circumstances, after finishing his work, he would definitely find a pig in the rainforest and have a barbecue.

I was in a rush to get back today and didn't eat.

Farusian was taken aback at first, and then her tight, pretty face broke down. Did she come back without eating anything?

That's certainly a very proactive approach.

The corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up slightly, but she quickly suppressed it.

She rolled her eyes at Chen Bo, annoyed, and sighed.

"I really can't help you."

She turned and walked towards the kitchen. "Wait here, I'll cook you something to eat."

"Ah? No need, no need, senior, it's too much trouble for you. I can just grab a bite myself!" Chen Bo quickly waved his hand.

"Shut up," Farusan's voice came from the kitchen. "You haven't eaten all day, how can you just eat anything?"
