$ Chapter 168 A Secret Makes a Woman Woman.

However, what several people did not expect was that Skye did not hack into SHIELD's database to search for Agent Avery's information after returning.

Instead, he followed Melinda and others honestly and went to the lounge where they often went to discuss how to complete the mission report.

Skye's idea is actually very simple. She just wants to know her life experience.

But SHIELD's rules are clear. She cannot overstep her authority and know secrets outside her authority. This is true even for Leni, who usually doesn't deal with Nick Fury.

Since she has agreed to join SHIELD, she should abide by SHIELD's rules.

After living in the Arctic for more than a month, she has realized that sometimes SHIELD's authority is not only a restriction, but also a kind of protection.

Sometimes knowing too much is not good for you. When the secrets you know are not proportional to your own strength, sacrifice will become inevitable.

Therefore, Skye decided that when she was strong enough to find out the truth, she would personally lift the veil.

…

In the afternoon, only a few members of the scientific research team who had not completed their mission reports and Skye returned to the lounge.

As if writing dry reports was a bit boring, Skye looked for a topic.

"By the way, Mestre, I remember you said before that your last name is not pronounced Eltikh?"

Meister nodded and was about to explain, but Simmons on the other side rushed to ask her to speak.

"Yes, the letters of Meister's last name all spell out E-L-D-I-R-H, but she has some Asian blood, and the pronunciation is not exactly in English format. The correct pronunciation should be..."

"Haide."

Fitz on the side interjected, he had known Mestre for a long time, and he also knew this "secret".

Both of them are well-known mechanical engineering geniuses in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Research Department, and they were inevitably compared to each other when they were young.

This will inevitably lead to some gossip about the close relationship between the two, which Fitz has publicly explained twice.

He was worried that Simmons would misunderstand the relationship between the two. After all, he actually preferred Simmons, who had a lively personality, to Meester.

"Fitz!"

Dissatisfied with Fitz's behavior of stealing his limelight, Simmons clenched his fist and punched him with some complaints.

"So, your full name should be Meister Hayd, right?"

Skye thoughtfully typed out Meister's name on the tablet, Meister Eldirh.

"But...M-E-I-S-T-E-R, shouldn't your name be Max?"

"Yes, my father's intention was to give me this name, but my mother felt that the name Meister 'God of War' was too public, so she changed the pronunciation."

Meister smiled lightly and subconsciously adjusted the blue light glasses on his face.

Since her myopia was cured with the alchemy crystal given by Leni, she no longer wears her original pair of thick myopia glasses.

But it was hard to break the habits she had developed over the years, so she simply prepared a pair of anti-blue light glasses to wear.

"But you don't have to worry too much, just call me Meister, or I won't mind if you call me Eltikh."

Skye nodded. She was just looking for a topic, but she didn't expect to find something interesting.

"Um...Skye, can I ask you a favor?"

After a moment of silence, Mest suddenly spoke to Skye again.

"Huh? What do you want to say?"

Faced with his "best friend" who also plays pranks, Skye is naturally willing to help him.

"I just hope you can keep my name a secret from Leni."

Meister clasped his hands together as if sincerely praying.

"Huh? Didn't you tell Leni about this?"

Skye was a little confused and didn't understand what he had to ask of him.

In response, Meister raised an index finger in front of his lips, imitating the tone of the "Change Witch" Belmode in the anime "Detective Conan" and said:

"A secret makes a woman woman."

Skye, who often hangs out on the Internet, certainly knows the origin of this sentence, which means: secrets make women more feminine.

Seeing the mechanical genius in front of her who was trying to imitate Sister Bei's famous scene, Skye had to hold in her laughter for a long time.

"Hahaha... You look so funny. Are you imitating Belmod?"

Affected by Skye's laughter, Fitz and Simmons, who were also suppressing laughter, also laughed together.

"Unexpectedly, Mester, you are still a two-dimensional person?"

After knowing Meister for so long, it was the first time they saw her behave in such a shameful manner, both Fitz and Simmons were a little surprised.

"Ah~ I finally mustered up the courage to say it. Don't laugh."

Mest blushed slightly from the laughter and patted Skye's shoulder dissatisfiedly.

"Haha, I'm sorry, I really can't hold it in anymore. I should have recorded it with my phone just now. It will definitely become a classic!"

Skye said sorry, but her laughter showed no sign of stopping.

"You still said that! You guys never stopped laughing!"

In embarrassment, Mester hit several people on the head one by one, and then they stopped holding their foreheads.

"Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore, but you still didn't tell me why you kept it a secret from Leni?"

Skye tidied up the messed up desktop and shifted the topic back to the previous question.

"Oh, I wanted Lainie to find it herself, just like a puzzle game. I actually knew her a long time ago, but she forgot about me."

Meister slowly recounted the experiences of the two when they were young.

The two were classmates in the same elementary school. At that time, Lainie was very weak and was often bullied. Every time, Meister stepped forward to help her solve the trouble.

But at that time, Meister always looked like a tomboy, so Lainie didn't recognize her.

Meister wanted to ask everyone to help her keep this secret, and hoped that Lainie could find this "old friend" by herself.

"I didn't expect that there was such a relationship between you."

Skye scratched his head in surprise. This kind of story that usually only exists in film and television works actually happened in his own life.

"We will keep it a secret for you."

Simmons reached out and held Meister's hands. As a very emotional girl.

She was so eager for the plot of the two reuniting after a long separation and recognizing each other again.

It will be very touching at that time!

"Yes, thank you all."

Meister smiled and took out a bag of snacks from her bag to share with everyone.

"Just consider it as an advance payment for your hard work in keeping my secret. I will treat everyone to snacks!"

Several people did not refuse. Anyway, they are already very familiar with each other, so they will not be entangled in such small favors.

A hint of intriguing color flashed in Meister's eyes.

Because only she knows what kind of relationship she has with Lainie.

"Laini, she is my angel..."
