Charlotte was a bit flustered

Amelia chuckled, "What's this, trying to provoke me? I'm sorry, but luck and connections also reflect a person's abilities. Be good, focus on studying in school, and then find a good job after graduation. Anything related to the Johnson family is not something you can fantasize about."

Charlotte looked a bit aggrieved, "Sis, you've misunderstood me. I don't covet anything from the Johnson family. It's just that Dad said your health isn't good, and both your brothers are currently uninterested in managing the family business. I just want to help Dad share the burden, all for the sake of our Johnson family."

Amelia pushed her frameless golden glasses up and looked at Charlotte with curiosity.

Charlotte was a bit flustered.

"Sis, what are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at how you can say such shameless things without blushing or skipping a beat."

"..."

Charlotte's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Just as the aircraft announced its arrival at Beylincoln University, it smoothly landed.

Without special reasons or permissions, no one else besides those with special privileges could drive aircraft within the university premises.

Amelia disembarked first and headed towards the school.

Today was the freshmen's opening day, also the most bustling time of the year for Beylincoln University.

Henry, wearing a deep gray military uniform, stood there. 

He was about to graduate as a senior and was currently the president of the military academy's student union, quite popular within the school.

Passing teachers and students would greet him.

Standing beside him in a similar deep gray military uniform was Kevin, looking around. He said, "Henry, which of your sisters is more beautiful? Do they both have boyfriends?"

"They're both married." Henry said this calmly, but his mood was anything but calm.

Amelia's marriage to the First Commander was a shock to him!

Although this matter hadn't spread widely yet, with so many people online searching for the Commander's wife, Amelia's identity would sooner or later be exposed.

Furthermore, there were quite a few people who attended the wedding in the Third District that day. This news couldn't be suppressed for long.

Ethan was the Federation's war god, and even more so, the idol of students like them at the military academy.

Yet, their idol suddenly became their brother-in-law?

Even Henry, who had always been calm and composed, felt a bit awkward.

Soon, two beautiful girls appeared in their sight.

Kevin immediately exclaimed, "Wow, the girl with the ponytail in front is so beautiful! She looks so young, yet she's already married?"

Ignoring his noisy roommate, Henry walked over quickly.

In the past, Henry's primary concern would have been Charlotte.

Because of Amelia's special experiences and her long period of sleep, she wasn't very close to her big brother.

On the other hand, Charlotte had been sticking to Henry like glue ever since she arrived at the Johnson family, and the two of them were like real siblings.

However, this time, amidst Charlotte's mixed expressions of grievance and anticipation, Henry went straight to Amelia.

"Amelia, why haven't you been answering my calls?"

"Oh, there were too many people calling during those days, so I just decided to block them all." Amelia's response was somewhat indifferent.

Henry frowned, but with the surroundings noisy and crowded, it wasn't convenient to inquire further.

So, he said to Kevin, "Kevin, can you help me escort my sister to the School of Literature?"

Kevin's eyes lit up, "Which sister?"

"Charlotte is in the History Department, she's in the School of Literature."

"Oh." Seeing that he had to escort the delicate Charlotte, Kevin's anticipation visibly faded.

Charlotte: "..."

But to maintain her image in Henry's eyes, Charlotte could only obediently nod and follow Kevin to register.

Amelia smirked.

She hadn't noticed before, but now, looking closely, Charlotte seemed to be living quite a tiring life.

Meanwhile, Henry, walking alongside Amelia, asked in a low voice when they reached a less crowded area, "Amelia, was the person you married really Commander Ethan?"

"So, you ditched Charlotte just to ask me about this?" Amelia teased, looking at Henry's teasing expression.

Seeing Amelia's teasing expression, Henry wasn't angry. He remained calm and said, "Charlotte is very sensible. She won't blame me for this. Amelia, if that person really is Commander Ethan, should our family visit him?"

Especially now that Henry was a military academy student about to graduate and enter the military. He would soon be Ethan's subordinate.

 

Amelia felt a headache at the thought of her family wanting to meet Ethan.

She had to resort to the old excuse again, "Ethan is very busy, and he doesn't have time to meet us privately in the near future. Even for me, I have to wait for him to finish his work before I can see him."

Henry felt this was a reasonable answer and didn't suspect anything.

But then he said, "I heard from the principal that Commander Ethan will be speaking at the freshmen's opening ceremony."

"What? He's coming to the freshmen's opening ceremony?"

"You didn't know?"

Amelia took a deep breath, managed her facial expression, and said firmly, "Ethan Commander's schedule is confidential. How could I know?"

"That's true. But Amelia, how did you end up with Commander Ethan?"

This was probably a question that everyone in the Interstellar Federation wanted to know the answer to.

But Amelia wasn't eager to share.

She brushed it off with a few vague remarks, and Henry left.

The thought of Ethan attending the freshmen's opening ceremony made Amelia feel overwhelmed.

She hesitated and glanced at her microcomputer, considering whether to send a message to him... but she decided against it.

Otherwise, if he hadn't remembered she was there and she sent him a message, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

She hoped Ethan had already forgotten about her existence.

AC, the AI assistant, chimed in, "Mistress, whenever Commander Ethan checks personal information, he will remember you when he sees the spouse information section."

Amelia's expression remained unchanged. "Shut up."

"Yes, Mistress."

After registering, Amelia headed to her dormitory, asking AC to pull up information on the guests of previous freshmen's opening ceremonies.

She found that Ethan had never attended the opening ceremony at Beylincoln University in previous years.

"He must have been too busy. The school invites him every year, but he never has the time to attend," Amelia guessed.

If he hadn't been free in previous years, he probably wouldn't be free this year either!

She put her mind at ease and went to her dormitory.

The dormitories for the medical school were in the same building for both male and female students. 

There was a common living room, while each of the three rooms had its own bathroom and were equipped with all the necessary appliances, making it very convenient.

As Amelia accessed the personal student information on her microcomputer, she found that two of the rooms were already occupied, their doors tightly shut. 

Only the door to the middle room was open, indicating that it hadn't been occupied yet.
