Chapter 85 The Narcissistic Qiao Shiyi

"Brother Shi, Zhou Jiu is here." Wen Xiaoxiao led Zhou Jiu to Qiao Shiyi's place and entered a building. When they entered the second door, Wen Xiaoxiao swiped her fingerprint and spoke into the robot's eyes.

The door opened quickly, and Qiao Shiyi, dressed in a very formal outfit, walked with a steady gait and lowered her voice: "You're here? Xiaoxiao, you can go back first. I'll talk to you later."

Wen Xiaoxiao gave a disappointed "oh," glanced at Zhou Jiu's face again, and left, turning back to look at him every step of the way.

Zhou Jiu looked at Wen Xiaoxiao leaving with a puzzled expression. "What happened to her?"

"It's okay, she's your fan, that's normal." Qiao Shiyi lowered her voice as usual, speaking in a magnetic tone, before turning around and walking back inside.

"Your voice... it's quite distinctive now." Zhou Jiu rubbed her ears, and all she could say was that it looked really seductive with Qiao Shiyi's face.

"Oh, I learned this specifically. It was a task assigned by my agent. Doesn't it sound great?" Qiao Shiyi raised an eyebrow, then used a deep voice for the first half of the sentence before returning to her original voice for the second half.

Zhou Jiu raised an eyebrow and sat down on the sofa opposite Qiao Shiyi. Even leaning against the sofa, he was noticeably more upright than Qiao Shiyi.

"This is a live-streamed lifestyle program, a rather casual one. There's no specific recording content, but the recording process is shown inside. Take a look." Qiao Shiyi opened her personal terminal and displayed content titled "Survival Variety Show and A Leisurely Day with Friends."

"Are you sure this is a relaxing day?" Zhou Jiu asked after quickly reading the contents.

"It's quite relaxing. It's a variety show based on the early post-apocalyptic period of the ancient planet Blue Star. Usually, there are some mutated plants and a few strange beasts. This time, we just stay in the camp and don't have to go out to find supplies. It's probably the most relaxed time for humans in the early post-apocalyptic period of the ancient planet Blue Star."

Zhou Jiu narrowed his eyes. So this was the period he was referring to!

"You haven't even watched the variety shows I recorded?" Qiao Shiyi suddenly remembered something and questioned, "Then why were you agreeing with everyone in the group? Didn't any of you watch my variety shows?"

Zhou Jiu shifted his gaze. "I've just been too busy. Everyone's been busy with the construction of the wasteland base lately."

"Heh, once I finish recording this variety show, I'll come over and settle the score with you all." Qiao Shiyi sneered. "What are you busy with? You were in jail for a while and then exiled to a desolate planet. Apart from missions, you just stay in your room by yourself and don't play with everyone anymore. Don't think I don't know."

“…You’ve gone too far by reopening old wounds!” Zhou Jiu pursed his lips.

"Tch, what's so great about a scar? Didn't you say that nothing is more important than living? You're living a good life now, what else do you want?" Seeing that Zhou Jiu had finished watching, Qiao Shiyi turned on her own variety show and had the service robot position the large screen directly in front of Zhou Jiu's line of sight to start playing the first episode.

Zhou Jiu looked helplessly at the edited variety show featuring only Qiao Shiyi, and gave himself a thumbs up: "Okay, you're amazing! But what have I been doing lately? Did you hear something from Baozi again?"

"You guessed wrong, haha, Lin Xiu said it." Qiao Shiyi sat down on the same side as Zhou Jiu again with a smug look, and looked at her own face on the big screen.

Zhou Jiu glanced at Qiao Shiyi, who was staring at his face with a broad smile, and said with a hint of speechlessness, "He's been taking classes on Central Star lately, and I haven't seen him on the desolate planet."

"He's probably embarrassed. He said his girlfriend tricked you, and then he went to the desolate planet and saw that you were living a miserable life. He was too ashamed to see you, but he didn't want to break up, so he simply didn't see you!" Qiao Shiyi looked at the screen and saw that he had decisively killed the alien plant that had bound the human. His expression was cold and very cool. Seeing that the audience's comments were full of "cool" comments, he nodded with satisfaction.

"That's exactly what Lin Xiu said?" Zhou Jiu asked, his face full of disbelief.

"Actually, it's pretty much the same. But he did go to the desolate planet. However, he's been quite conflicted lately. He doesn't want to see you or Sun You either." Qiao Shiyi said nonchalantly, continuing to watch her variety show comments.

“I haven’t even broken up with Sun You, so why is he being so stubborn? Anyway, it’s always the same old thing. When we were hanging out together, we all knew we weren’t on the same page. Why is he still avoiding me and Sun You because of this?” Zhou Jiu rolled her eyes and leaned back on the sofa. She had been discharged from the military, so why was she sitting so upright? Zhou Jiu mentally criticized herself.

"Actually, there are some other reasons. He remembered his childhood memories and said that you knew each other when you were young. He didn't go into details, but recently he said he didn't want to see you."

Zhou Jiu thought for a moment, she couldn't quite remember what else was going on, but she could guess some of it. She then said to Qiao Shiyi, "Next time you chat in your own little group, remember to tell Lin Xiu. The embarrassing things he imagines are probably only remembered by him. Don't take yourself too seriously. Just say that I told him to. If there's anything, let him come directly to me."

"Damn, Captain, do you still think of us as the kids you protected back then? Lin Xiu can figure things out. Don't take all the burden on yourself. You even want to talk to him face to face. I understand. Don't worry about him. It's just a matter of whether he's conflicted or not. He's a teenage boy, he'll only be conflicted for a few years!" Qiao Shiyi sighed.

As he watched himself swiftly and decisively kill the alien plant that had bound the human on the screen, his expression was cool and handsome. Seeing that the audience's comments were full of "cool" comments, he nodded with satisfaction.

Zhou Jiu looked at Qiao Shiyi speechlessly, not wanting to pay attention to the boy who was the same age as them and was obviously the boy he described. Looking at the increasingly narcissistic Qiao Shiyi, he said, "You can turn to the third episode first. I've already read the first two episodes."

"Isn't he incredibly handsome?" Qiao Shiyi immediately asked.

"Why don't you ask An'an? Aren't you two a little... you know?" Zhou Jiu hadn't seen Qiao Shiyi turn the page, so he clicked on the entire series and started looking at the regular guests on the show. He watched Qiao Shiyi's variety show performance intently while gossiping.

She has indeed been immersed in her own world for a long time since arriving on the desolate planet, and hasn't had time to find out about her friends' current relationship status.

"An'an?" Qiao Shiyi's smile faded slightly, then she pretended to be nonchalant and said, "No, isn't she with Sun Wu from the Volunteer Army? I heard they're in the same squad now. Did you see Sun Wu when you went there this time?"

Zhou Jiu looked at Qiao Shiyi with a puzzled expression. Although she didn't know much about the others during this period, she had seen Wei An'an's team when they went on missions, and there was no one in the team who didn't recognize this person named Sun Wu.

"Alright, let's not talk anymore. You should rest first. Don't worry about the live stream tomorrow, I'll be there. You just need to be a guest and enjoy the delicious food I make!" Qiao Shiyi had the little robot take Zhou Jiu to her room.

Before Zhou Jiu could finish speaking, Qiao Shiyi turned around and went straight back to her room, leaving Zhou Jiu with no choice but to leave with the robot.
