12 years after graduation, I want to get married

It was already mealtime when I came out of the office, Zhixing’s graduation season was in the hot summer, the sun was shining, and there was no Dmitri in the dormitory—I bought a salad in the restaurant and went back without thinking.

Dmitry has a big homework report and a final exam for an elective course today, and he probably won't be back until late at night.

The sanitation situation in the dormitory was a bit bad because of my panic in the morning. I finished the salad slowly and started to command the robot to clean up.

As a 32-year-old adult guide, I don't give a shit about a kid.

I commanded the robot to clean under Dmitry's bed as well, but the vacuum arm made an uncoordinated vibration.

Under the strong suction, a polished metal coin (?) rolled out.

Damn, if it's important to Dmitri, wouldn't I be provoking and offending him again?

I picked it up with a guilty conscience, and it was unexpectedly clean, which further confirmed that it wasn't Dmitry's garbage, and that he might have just dropped it accidentally in the morning.

"..." I knelt down on the floor, planning to throw it under the bed again.

I seem to have seen the exact same one somewhere——

It is a badge in the shape of a coin, with a grinning head of a star beast melted out of super-frequency fiber crystal filaments.A series of characters are engraved on the back: [DN.OE.003.R.7834]

I remained on my knees, recalling another badge amidst the hum of the thermostat.
