The program was paused again.

Qu Jian'er happened to be carrying fish and meat when she arrived at a luxurious restaurant near the Jungle Garden.

She spotted Zuo Chen standing at the door waiting.

The other person was wearing a finely crafted black suit today, almost blending into the night.

He strode towards her.

As it drew closer, it exuded a unique aura; the longer you looked, the more you could see its hidden sharpness.

Qu Jian'er waved her hand: "Hey~"

The moon, like a wheel, shines on the road ahead.

As night fell on Zuo Chen's shoulder, for some reason, he could hear his own heartbeat.

He watched as the person ran towards him.

He felt it was worth the risk of using the shuttle to jump through the black hole and rush to Jupiter.

Qu Jian'er carried a dozen kilograms of fish meat on her back, while dodging Black Big Pillar to prevent it from licking it: "I sent you a message but you didn't reply. I thought you couldn't come."

Zuo Chen gently tidied up the messy hair of the person in front of him, which had become disheveled from running so fast.

period.

He noticed a small red mole on the other person's earlobe.

afterwards.

He felt his movements were too natural.

It was so natural that it didn't seem like a way of interacting between friends at all. He felt he needed to check how others interacted in order to analyze whether his actions were appropriate.

Seeing that Qu Jian'er's gaze was becoming increasingly hesitant.

Zuo Chen cleared his throat, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily, and explained earnestly, "Since you've invited me, I'll come even if I'm light-years away."

I don't know when it started.

They no longer addressed each other with honorifics, but neither of them noticed this fact.

Qu Jian'er was puzzled: How did the noble and aloof Princess Zuo suddenly become a wingman? Touching her hair!?

At this moment, Qu Jian'er was seriously considering whether or not to chop off someone's claws.

Zuo Chen's hands have distinct bones; although they are not very white, they are slender and long enough.

It's a bit of a waste to chop it up.

then.

Qu Jian'er changed her "strategy".

She stood on tiptoe, unwilling to accept it.

Without hesitation, he patted Zuo Chen's hair to solidify his prestigious position as the number one wingman.

Upon seeing this.

Hei Dazhu and Qi Yin, who were watching from the sidelines, had the same expression: Holy crap, an unwitting flirting machine has appeared!

The person and the cat walked to the corner.

Qi Yin said seriously, "What has led this former elite to take such bizarre actions? Is it love? No, it's being serious. Let's go into the science section and continue to explore the truth."

Black Pillar meowed a few times in response: "Meow!"

Zuo Chen noticed Qi Yin and the black cat whispering to each other: "Take the sliced ​​sashimi to the refrigerator, and ask the boss how many flavors the fish can be made into."

Qi Yin stood up and said, "Okay, boss! To find out what happens next, please listen to the next episode."

Black Pillar nodded: "Meow~"

I heard Black Pillar's cry.

Qu Jian'er threatened Hei Dazhu: "Eating too much of this fish won't do you any good. If you dare to steal any more, I'll castrate you."

The men present suddenly froze, some even stepping back with their legs crossed.

Black Pillar really wanted to say that it had no gender.

But Qu Jian'er's gaze was too fierce, and it only cared about hiding its eyes in Qi Yin's arms.

Zuo Chen changed the subject: "I haven't been on Earth recently. Has the online discussion subsided?"

Qu Jian'er, mindful of the presence of outsiders, said cryptically, "It's alright, it's been perfectly resolved. To thank you for your generous help, brother, I'm treating you to fish."

Zuo Chen nodded and smiled.

The two then entered the private room.

Qu Jian'er led Zuo Chen to a corner of the room: "I'll show you my precious treasure!"

In her opinion.

My baby has to peek secretly.

That's why she led the person to a corner.

Upon hearing this...

Zuo Chen suddenly wanted to laugh out loud, but his good upbringing kept him composed.

Qu Jian'er's words were really too ambiguous, sounding like a hooligan blocking an innocent little girl.

He loosened his belt.

But Zuo Chen knew that Qu Jian'er wasn't being indecent, and he also knew that Qu Jian'er couldn't possibly be indecent at all.

When Qu Jian'er took out the space button.

The thumb-sized spatial knob has a jade-like texture and sparkles with crystal-like spots of light.

Zuo Chen's expression turned serious. He restrained Qu Jian'er's movements and made sure the surroundings were safe.

He then said, "Don't tell anyone."

Qu Jian'er nodded, looking like an obedient student: "I understand. I knew you knew what you were talking about. Asking you is definitely more useful than searching. You're the first person to know about it. I won't admit that I've never opened it because I don't know how to release the mech."

She was able to hand over the two laser guns to Dai Yin because she had the help of thugs.

Zuo Chen recalled what his subordinates had told him: Qu Jian'er had once outwitted the Star Bandits at the orphanage.

Hearing Qu Jian'er's words.

Looking at the person in front of me.

Qu Jian'er's eyes were filled with a lot of emotions, not calculation, nor affection, but trust.

Zuo Chen found his own conjecture amusing.

Having been in a high position for many years, his unquestionable authority, though he tried to restrain it, still inspired fear in others.

Everyone who got close to him was afraid, and even his family members weren't very enthusiastic.

It cannot be said that everyone you come into contact with is driven by calculation and self-interest, but they all come with a certain purpose.

But Qu Jian'er was very open and honest; not only that, she also naturally regarded him as a companion.

He thought: Perhaps this is why he was willing to treat Qu Jian'er as a friend and had feelings for her.

Zuo Chen smiled and said, "This spatial lock is the lowest level in the empire, but its defense is top-notch. I'll teach you how to open it."

Qu Jian'er put her hands on her hips: "I'll give you this chance."
