Chapter 123 The Mechanical Era: Hearing your words is truly like hearing a profound truth...
Their eyes met, and the air around them seemed to freeze. Shi Yu silently looked away, then looked up at Chen Su again after a moment.
"What?"
He seemed to just realize what was happening, his tone tinged with doubt, but the guilt on his face had completely vanished. His clear, innocent eyes practically screamed "Innocence!" "What did you just say? Run away? I didn't..."
A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Su's eyes; he probably hadn't expected Shi Yu to react this way.
Shen Su stared at him, and Shi Yu looked back at him openly, without a trace of guilt in his eyes. In fact, his fingers, which were hanging by his sides, were tightening around the cushion.
"you……"
As it turns out, people's intuition is accurate when facing a crisis. Before Shi Yu could react, Shen Su had already left the driver's seat and moved to the back.
The aircraft door opened and closed, and a tall figure sat down beside Shi Yu, bringing with it a sense of oppression.
Shi Yu tried to dodge to the side, but before she could move even a centimeter, her chin was pinched. Shen Su used a little force; it didn't hurt much, but she couldn't break free.
"To be honest, it's quite convincing for you to say that with that face." Shen Su's gaze was almost tangible, scrutinizing Shi Yu's face inch by inch. His expression was blank, and his tone was ambiguous.
"Hmm." Shi Yu moved his lips slightly, and because his chin was being pinched, he made a sound that was hard to understand.
But it seems that Shen Su misunderstood it as agreement...
Shen Su frowned, emphasizing his tone, "Hmm? You still think 'hmm'?"
Shi Yu: "..."
Shi Yu didn't speak. Chen Su tightened his grip a little, then loosened it slightly when he saw Shi Yu frown, but his tone was still not very friendly, "Fine, you don't understand what I'm saying, right? Then explain why you're here?"
"You understand what I mean now, right?" Shen Su added.
Shi Yu first removed Shen Su's hand from his chin, sat up straight, cleared his throat, and then said, "Didn't you park the spacecraft here? You parked the spacecraft here, so I'm here."
His dark eyes were filled with sincerity.
It almost made Shen Su die of anger.
"By the way, what are you going to do with the aircraft here?" As if that wasn't enough, Shi Yu added.
Both of their live streams were very active.
Hahaha, hearing your words is truly enlightening.
[That's true, Shen Su did indeed park the spaceship here, that's why Yu Yu is here, Yu Yu, innocent face.jpg]
[Yu Yu is so cute when she lies through her teeth!]
[I suddenly felt a sense of helplessness towards Chen Su, but what can you do about Yu Yu like this? Hahaha, you still have to spoil her, right?]
[Has Yuyu been spending all her free time online lately? She's really good at spouting nonsense!]
"Playing word games with me, huh?" Chen Su's hand traced down Shi Yu's cheek, across her neck, and finally landed on the collar of Shi Yu's trench coat. He asked, "Then explain why you're wearing my clothes?"
"I just grabbed one from the closet. I don't pay much attention to these things. I just put it on as soon as I got it. I didn't care if it was yours or mine. Consider it a loan. Or do you care?" After a pause, Shi Yu took off the coat and threw it into Chen Su's arms. "Here you go."
Shen Su didn't even glance at the trench coat; his gaze remained fixed on Shi Yu. He asked, "You only borrowed one?"
Shi Yu looked down at herself.
oh.
No, that's not it.
And shirts, vests, pants, belts, etc...
"Pay back everything at once," Chen Su said ruthlessly.
Live Stream Room——
[Take it off!!!]
[Shen Su didn't say it, but I'll say it for him: Take it off!!!]
[Take it off, haha ...
Shi Yu really took her clothes off.
Then the live stream went black.
【………………】
Good grief, what's with the "swoosh"? Now Barbie Q is done for.
...
The built-in curtain inside the aircraft was drawn, and a sound that sounded like crying but wasn't quite crying could be faintly heard from inside.
"I...I just...had a bad feeling, so I didn't keep going..." Shi Yu's voice was broken and hoarse, "I...I didn't know it was you. If I had known it was you...I wouldn't have hidden...ah!"
After a suppressed sob.
Shi Yu's voice became even hoarse, "You already... know everything, so why... ask me..."
"Do you realize your mistake now?" After a while, Chen Su's deep voice rang out.
"Um……"
It's unclear how much time passed before the aircraft restarted.
Shi Yu lay in the back row, covered with Shen Su's clothes, and had already fallen into a deep sleep.
.
A few days later, Shi Yu went out again.
This time, he didn't pretend to be Shen Su or sneak around. Instead, he went out openly, with Shen Su's people piloting a flying vehicle to take him out. Shen Su even escorted him to the door.
The reason was that Shi Yu received an electronic invitation to the Imperial Carnival Night.
The invitation was only for Shi Yu and did not allow him to bring family members.
It's not that I don't want to go, it's that I can't go.
He privately asked Mo Rugui for help, and Mo Rugui also sought help from Eve, but it was no use.
The Carnival Night was organized by the Empire, unlike privately organized events. Private events might be able to get him a ticket through connections, but Mo Rugui, who was organized by the Empire, couldn't do anything about it. He wasn't familiar with the leader, and he only got one ticket himself. He could only agree to look after Shi Yu on the Carnival Night.
At this point, Yu could only comfort Shen Su, saying that it wouldn't be good if he, as the leader of an enemy organization of the empire, were recognized while swaggering to someone else's carnival night. In reality, this comfort was ineffective, because in the Mechanical Era, everyone could freely change their appearance.
Before setting off, Shi Yu also made some minor adjustments to his appearance and used a disguise agent to disguise himself as a synthetic human.
After all, he had been auctioned off, and the powerful and influential people who attended that auction had all seen his face.
Before Shi Yu boarded the aircraft, Chen Su stopped him and asked, "Are you not angry anymore?"
"Not bad." Shi Yu glanced at Chen Su with a nonchalant expression and continued forward.
Shen Su grabbed Shi Yu's arm and pulled her into his arms, his warm breath brushing against Shi Yu's cheek. His voice was gentle but tinged with grievance, "I've already allowed you to go out and play, and you're still not over it?"
Shi Yu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe after I come back from playing..."
After saying that, he pushed Shen Su aside, straightened his clothes, and boarded the aircraft.
When Shi Yu received the invitation, he looked up the origin and rules of the Imperial Carnival Night. The carnival night is on March 12th every year, but nothing major has ever happened on that day. So everyone guessed that this day might be a very special day for the head of state to celebrate.
The gameplay is similar to a regular banquet, except there might be more variations. The difference lies in the location; in some years it's at sea, in others in the air, and underground. This year is more normal, as it's on the ground, in the palace hall where Shi Yu went to challenge the leader.
The palace was empty that day, but it's bustling today. There are many people queuing at the entrance, and security is very strict. They only let people in after verifying the QR code on their electronic invitation.
Inside, the place was packed with people. The ladies were dressed in elegant gowns and had exquisite makeup, while the men were dressed in suits. Everyone spoke politely in hushed tones. Waiters carrying trays moved among the crowd, and the sound of a piano flowed gently through the air.
Shi Yu saw Mo Rugui and Eve, but there were too many people around, and he didn't want anyone to know that they knew each other, so he didn't go up to greet them. He just nodded from a distance and then found a place to sit in a corner.
But after a while, Eve came over, holding a glass of red wine, and sat opposite Shi Yu, leaning lazily against the backrest.
"I don't know what's wrong with him today. He seems distracted, and he doesn't seem to be listening to anything I say. It's so boring." She was speaking to Shi Yu, but Eve's gaze was fixed on the distance.
Shi Yu followed Eve's gaze.
Mo Rugui stood by the window, holding a wine glass, seemingly lost in thought. Someone struck up a conversation with him, but he didn't come to his senses for a long time before the person left.
After all the guests had arrived, the waiter closed the banquet hall door, the piano music stopped, and the side door opened. Several people in formal attire escorted a masked man into the room.
Even with a mask on, you could feel the powerful aura emanating from him from a distance.
The banquet hall fell silent instantly.
Everyone was looking in that direction.
The man was very tall, with skin so pale it was almost inhuman. He wore a finely crafted court dress, had short, silver-white hair, and a black mask that covered the upper half of his face, revealing only his clear, handsome jawline and pale lips.
Shi Yu glanced at Mo Rugui unintentionally.
Mo Rugui's eyes were also fixed in that direction. The moment the leader came out, his right hand, which was holding a wine glass, seemed to tremble slightly.
