Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

"Everyone, look... It's the seniors from Naurity University!" Outside the corridor, students crowded along the railing, the girls’ eyes twinkling with excitement as they gazed downstairs.

Several college students were talking to a few teachers, and among them was a tall and slim young man carrying a laptop bag and wearing an expressionless face.

"Oh, he's so handsome!" the girls chirped with starry eyes.

The boys, however, were very skeptical. "Hmph! What's the use of being handsome? Look at his deadpan face..." That said, the girls continued their chatter. "I heard the tallest one is a senior from the Department of Engineering, majoring in Nuclear Engineering and Nuclear Technology..." Instantly, the boys were one-eighty in their attitude. Wow, that senior looks so cool! Even with a deadpan face! Meanwhile, Lilly had buried herself in her homework when a classmate called out to her. The seniors from Naurity University had come to give a speech, giving a word of encouragement to the senior students about to take their SAT. The ninth-grade students were also asked to join in, encouraging them while they were at it.

Lilly: "Oh... okay, I'm coming." As she stepped out of the classroom, she found her classmates all leaning on the railing. Regardless of gender, their eyes twinkled, looking wholly infatuated.

Curious as to which senior had such great charm, Lilly cast her spirit consciousness out only to be surprised.

It's him! Ivan! When did he come back? Lilly only realized belatedly that Ivan was actually attending the neighboring university. It wasn't her fault for not knowing, for not one of her male family members told her about it.

She leaned on the railing at the edge, smiling as she looked at Ivan.

Sensing her presence, he smiled faintly at the third floor and waved to her. Lilly waved back.

Ivan's actions caused a major tumult among the students. On the second floor, they squealed, thinking he was waving at them, whereas those on the third floor wondered who he was waving at.

"He must be waving to me!" The class belle chirped, cupping her face, blushing.

"Yeah, right!" The student next to her thought otherwise and nudged the class belle with her foot. "He's clearly waving to me!" Lo and behold, a male student standing not far from Lilly, hand propping his chin, said, "Stop arguing. He's definitely waving to me." Those around him booed harmlessly in response.

A chuckle escaped Lilly. The sunlight bathed the students, cicadas chirped in the trees, and smiles adorned the faces of her classmates. How wonderful! "I'm going to grab a seat!" Lilly deliberately said.

The students snapped back to reality and rushed to the auditorium with a whoosh, displaying the same enthusiasm as when they raced to the cafeteria during lunch break.

When Ivan arrived at the auditorium, the seats were already filled with students sitting neatly.

With a glance, he spotted Lilly in the crowd. It wasn't destiny or anything romantic, mainly because he and Lilly shared the same Order; both were cultivators, so spotting each other at a glance was not surprising.

Radley, hiding in his ring, exposing a bit of its radish root hair, posing in a manner resembling a lady lying on the chaise lounge, nodding continuously while supporting its chin. "Oh, yes, sure, it's not surprising at all. It's like finding a crisp cabbage in a pile of radishes or seeing Toodles among a group of ordinary Toms." It was a reference to the white cat pursued by Tom in the cartoon "Tom and Jerry." Ivan flicked his finger, and transparent adhesive appeared on Radley's mouth, completely sealing it shut.

Radley whined, Oh, the loneliness.... Back when | said to leave with the Harem spirit, you refused to let me leave, and now, you're sealing my mouth! What do you want?! The speaker for this talk was another senior from Naurity University. lvan's main job was to demonstrate their department's design philosophy and achievements.

Ivan was also a legendary figure at school; students rarely saw him, but almost everyone had heard about his extraordinary deeds. It was said that he proposed new theories shortly after entering university, enhancing safety performance, improving fuel technology, and controllable nuclear fusion... (The author is clueless and making things up. Zealots, please be gentle with me.) The most impressive thing was his discovery of a method to eliminate nuclear pollution, making nuclear technology a potentially clean, efficient, and pollution-free energy source in the future. (Again, the author is making things up.) Therefore, the rumored reason people rarely saw him around campus was that he had been recruited by a national technology company. Scientific research was his home field, and the university was just somewhere he occasionally made necessary visits.

With such achievements, many naturally admired and idolized him.

After briefly discussing the future applications and prospects of the technology, just when everyone thought he was speaking empty words, Ivan opened his computer and initiated an Al panoramic projection. A dazzling model was rapidly constructed before the students’ eyes, creating a futuristic city visible to the naked eye.

Boom! The students thought the world was destroyed, only to find out it was just a scenic transition. As the deafening sound subsided, a gigantic whale-like spaceship soared across the universe. The starry sea expanded, countless stars adorned the space above the auditorium, and a massive mythical fish-bird flew by, emitting a distant and melodious cry.

"Wow..." The students below couldn't help but stand up, their faces filled with astonishment. Goodness me, what are we looking at? Why does it look like we're in the river of time, experiencing millennia in a single glance, witnessing the entirety of human history...
