What are you doing here?

Seeing the dashing Xia Wuyou, Gu Yi was instinctively startled.

Well, how should I put it? Her relationship with Xia Wuyou is by no means bad; they live under the same roof... and she usually calls her "sister."

But running into her in this situation is really awkward; it always feels like being caught red-handed, um...

Gu Xiaosong is like this: when facing someone directly, he's all bark and no bite. His desperate act when he bumped into Xia Wuyou at Xu Shi's door last time was an exception. Usually, he just bares his teeth at Xia Ke'an, and he can't win the argument in most cases.

"I can't be here!"

Xia Wuyou didn't have as many inner thoughts as her, and her reply didn't even show any jealousy, "I didn't have much to do today, and I saw you guys on my way home from get off work... Shall we go together?"

Okay.

Xu Shi, however, was carefree and jumped into the car. "I have something to ask you. I see that the repairs and reconstructions everywhere are basically done?"

"Yes, everything is going well."

Xia Xiaomao laughed, "Night City was finished a long time ago. As for Sin City, it will take a little more time, but with the City Hall and those gang leaders working together, the overall progress is not slow."

"Many remnants who swore allegiance to Shen Qin and 'Dragon City' have been identified, and as you said, they should all be killed without exception."

"Hard."

Xu Shi nodded; it was so comforting to hear good news from all directions.

It must be said that, thanks to the efforts of all parties, the impact of the riots has been minimized. Places like the 15th District, which were affected, have now been completely transformed.

Some unaffected districts didn't even take the riot seriously. Of course, the verbal attacks on "The Forgotten" and "Dragon City" never stopped. This was all part of Xu Shi's plan, and he never relaxed his pressure on public opinion.

In any case, apart from Song Chen's faction who surrendered in advance, the remaining "Forgotten Ones" were completely classified as second-class citizens. All that was left for them were high-risk professions that the Night City residents were unwilling to engage in, such as miners. This not only replenished a large amount of cheap labor but also did not harm the interests of the original city residents.

It sounds cruel, but Xu Shi doesn't think he's wrong. Night City is Night City for its people, and outsiders should be considered later. What else can he do? Support them with credit points every month, and then pair them up with two partners? Go to hell, Gold, you don't deserve it!

As for Sin City, it's not so much a reconstruction as a renovation. The pilot areas have already shown promise, with various facilities being upgraded in a timely manner. Not only have the residents of Sin City responded very well, but some residents of Night City have also moved there, which has greatly alleviated the increasingly crowded housing pressure. The fact is that the original layout of Sin City was too cluttered, and standardizing it can free up a lot of space.

This is inseparable from the efforts of Xia Wuyou and the others. As one of the people in charge, she has been working from dawn to dusk these days. Sometimes, she would secretly pay attention to them from Lin Xing's perspective and she saw all their hard work.

Therefore, he also keenly noticed the other party's fatigue. In addition to the faint dark circles under her eyes, Xia Xiaomao's mood also seemed a bit low.

“I questioned He Yuxia again, and she told me that heading west might be the correct way to go out to sea, and she wasn’t lying.”

He knew without asking what the other person was worried about, and pretended to talk to himself, saying, "Chengcheng has also made progress and has developed materials that can be used to build ships."

"real?!"

Sure enough, Xia Wuyou perked up immediately upon hearing this, widening her eyes and turning to look at him.

"You should drive carefully first, my little darling."

Xu Shi impatiently grabbed her hand, preventing her from swerving and crashing into the guardrail. "Goodness, I should have told you when we got back. It was terrifying."

The truth is that Xia Wuyou became somewhat strange because of the "Heavenly Principles" matter. Although she wasn't present when He Yuxia was arrested, she still had to be made aware of these things afterwards.

Actually, her reaction was pretty good; she didn't lose control and go crazy like Xia Ke'an. Xu Shi was quite relieved at the time, but then he discovered that the little kitten was a slow starter and had been sullen ever since.

Of course, this is a normal reaction. She finally learned some information about her enemy, but for a while she was helpless against him. All she could do was to distract herself with work, which shortened the time by a third.

Xia Wuyou realized she had lost her composure and nodded apologetically, "I'm sorry, I just..."

"Anyway, this can't be rushed, it has to be done step by step. I've been planning it out step by step during this period."

Xu Shi didn't blame her, but his tone, besides comforting her, also contained a hint of reproach, "But never punish yourself for other people's mistakes, understand?"

"Um……"

Xia Xiaomao humbly accepted his advice and, in turn, held his hand tightly, unwilling to let go.

"You're just humming my foot. It's obvious you weren't listening."

Seeing this, Xu Shi said helplessly, "How about this, I'll go with you to Chengcheng's place later to find out the specifics?"

"……good."

Xia Wuyou finally relaxed her brows and gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Actually, with you here, I shouldn't have acted like this. I'm sorry..."

Why apologize?

Xu Shi found her adorably silly and couldn't help but pinch her nose. "The light's green, drive."

"Okay."

Xia Wuyou snapped out of her daze and drew a line across his palm before pulling her hand back.

The two of them burst out laughing at the same time.
