"You two."
The Disciplinary Officer, who had been observing from the side, approached with a detached tone,
"May I ask if you're headed to the Apophis Oceanarium?"
"Yes." Qi stepped forward to answer.
"The New Gospel clearly mentions," the Disciplinary Officer said, "that love between opposite-sex Bionics is forbidden..."
"There's no love." Ming stood in front of the girl, blocking the Officer from Qi. "Qi and I are just friends, we're going to the Apophis Oceanarium out of curiosity about marine life and due to a campus extracurricular research group's project."
The Disciplinary Officer was momentarily stunned, and before he could continue speaking, Ming rationally continued:
"If Mr. Disciplinary Officer still has doubts, he can connect to our memory modules and check."
Qi's eyes trembled slightly, she opened her mouth but didn't speak.
