On the day of New Year's Eve, Lisa went to pay her respects to her adoptive mother's tomb, then she took Milo and some luggage, and flew on a flying saucer alone to the Pearl Islands for a holiday.

"Welcome to the comet F2400 flying saucer."

The sound of the flying saucer autopilot system was a magnetic male voice she liked.

"Please sit in the cockpit, fasten your seat belt, and indicate the flight destination."

Lisa fastened her seat belt. After she mentioned her destination, the flying saucer door closed and the flight procedures were started.

"Accessing the global transportation network... The connection is successful."

"Applying for a flight route... The application is successful."

"The flight range is 11,536.54 kilometers and the estimated flight time is 45 minutes..."

With a distance of more than 10,000 kilometers, the flying saucer only needed to fly for more than 40 minutes.

This was also the result of the strict speed limit of the flying saucer in the atmosphere. The time taken by the flying saucer to take off and land must be counted.

When the flying saucer flew up to the stratosphere, Lisa looked at the clouds under her feet and thought indiscriminately, the emergence of artificially produced miniature "gravitational field" technology was really an epoch-making technological revolution.

This technology had not only accelerated the pace of human exploration of the starry sky and the transformation of terrestrial planets, but it also gave birth to the gravitational field engine. Only with the gravitational field engine would the flying saucer technology develop.

The emergence of the flying saucer had fundamentally changed the concept of flying, allowing flight from the aerodynamic era to directly enter a new era powered by "artificial gravity".

Humans had also officially entered the interstellar era after it's discovery.

In this era, as long as you could overcome the problem of day and night confusion, you could live on one side of the earth and fly to the other side of earth to work every day.

There was an 18-hour time difference between the Pearl Islands and Seoul City.

When Lisa arrived at Crown Island, the main island of the Pearl Islands, the local time was already night.

The flying saucer stopped in the underground disk parking space of the White Coral Hotel in Crown Island.

After getting off the flying saucer, Lisa walked out of the parking space and walked to the front desk of the hotel. Milo carried her luggage and followed behind her.

The rooms were booked long ago, and the check-in process was soon completed. The front desk staff handed her a white invitation printed with the hotel's logo, and said with a smile, "Three days later, the hotel will celebrate its 30th anniversary. This is the invitation for Miss Manobal to the dance party."

Lisa took the invitation politely and gave it to Milo. She didn't plan to go to any party— she had no dance partner, would she be a wallflower*?

She asked Milo to take her luggage to the guest room and went straight to the restaurant for food.

The local time was already more than nine in the evening and it was too early for dinner. Fortunately, the White Coral Hotel had a 24-hour restaurant.

Lisa walked into the restaurant, ordered the dessert she had long missed, and ate it slowly.

Suddenly, a waiter at the restaurant came over and placed a piece of fried cod on her table.

"Miss, there is a gentleman over there that invited you to eat fried cod. He said that it's bad for your health to only eat desserts. The cod is made very well here, and the lady should try it." the waiter said with a smile and pointed at a table not far away.

At this time, only a few people were eating at the restaurant.

Lisa looked in the direction of where his finger is pointing, and suddenly her eyes widened—it was Jeon Jungkook.

When their eyes met each other, Jungkook raised a glass of juice at her, and a charming smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

This time, he was wearing a high-necked shirt with collars that clasped neatly and tightly covered his neck.

Lisa thought, doesn't he feel hot in his attire? And was it really good to wear a formal shirt as casual clothes? Or, did he just leave from a banquet and had no time to change clothes?

When meeting Jungkook here, Lisa felt that this was probably not a coincidence. Either she was followed, or Sang-yi was involved.

Jungkook didn't come directly to join her table, but used a flirtatious kind of routine. She didn't know where he learned it. Anyway, she pretended not to know Jungkook, and said to the waiter, "Return the fried cod to that person and tell him that if I want to eat something, I will order it myself."

The waiter left with the fried cod. She continued to lower her head to eat her dessert, without looking at Jungkook.

It didn't take long for the waiter to come again and place a glass of colorful juice on her table.

"The gentleman said that if the lady doesn't like to eat cod, then he invited you to drink fruit juice. This mixed fruit juice has excellent taste and is rich in various vitamins, which is very suitable for beautiful ladies."

Lisa glanced at Jungkook again. He toasted her again, with a more elegant gesture and a more charming smile.

Lisa said to the waiter, "You should return the juice to that gentleman, and tell him; please don't waste food."

The waiter left with juice.

She noticed that the waiter took the juice to Jungkook's table and said a few words, then brought the juice back to the bar and left it.

Before long, he sent Lisa another glass of ice cream.

"The gentleman said; If the lady really likes desserts, he will invite you to eat ice cream! This ice cream is sweet but not greasy, very refreshing, and very suitable for eating in such weather."

Lisa looked at the ice cream, then looked at Jungkook, and said to the waiter, "I'll keep the ice cream!"

The waiter was relieved, and placed the ice cream on the table, then quickly retreated.

Lisa hooked her fingers to Jungkook.

Jungkook seemed to have gained some sort of victory, stood up slowly, came over calmly, and greeted her, "Hey, we meet again."
