A moment later.
The lobby of the Goethe Hotel.
Wearing Bellberg's clothes, March 7 pursed her lips, her expression very uncomfortable. She sat on the sofa for a while, then got up and paced back and forth, which puzzled Dan Heng, who was standing to the side.
"What's wrong with you?" Dan Heng was still holding the book "Are You Really Smart?" in his hands.
"It's nothing..." March 7 replied casually.
fine...
How could nothing be wrong!
With Xingmei's help in providing fragments of memory, she finally pieced together what happened after her confrontation with Zhou Xiao.
Apparently, she drank too much and vomited all over the bed. Xingmei felt the room was unsuitable for sleeping, so she changed her clothes and took her back to her own room. She slept soundly at first, but then she needed to pee... so she went to the restroom at the end of the corridor. When she came back...
She didn't realize she was going back to Xingmei's room to sleep, and instinctively walked towards her own room. Coincidentally, Zhou Xiao hadn't locked her door, and in her dazed state, she used the small key to enter the room and lay down on the bed... completely unaware that there was someone else on the other side of the bed...
It's outrageous... but that's just how outrageous it is!
And so she slept in the same bed with Zhou Xiao.
As for why Zhou Xiao was sleeping in her room, she could guess pretty much for sure.
She fell asleep in Zhou Xiao's room, so Zhou Xiao definitely couldn't sleep in his own room... he would have to sleep in her room.
Awkward...
It was incredibly awkward.
On this day, I just want to disappear into the ground...
That was so inappropriate.
It was this awkward feeling that made her unsure how to face Zhou Xiao, so she adjusted her mindset during the time when Zhou Xiao went out for his morning exercise and Xingmei followed him.
As if nothing happened?
Um...
As if nothing happened...
On March 7th, she comforted herself, telling herself that it wasn't a big deal.
It's all the alcohol's fault. Drinking led to mistakes and rambling nonsense...
"You're back..."
Just as she was comforting herself, Danheng seemed to see Zhou Xiao and Xingmei and greeted them.
"Yes, I'm back."
Upon hearing Zhou Xiao's voice, March 7th tensed up instantly, trembling slightly as she turned around. Forcing a smile, she waved and greeted him.
Good morning...
"Good morning." Xingmei gave her a meaningful look.
"Are you awake?" Zhou Xiao asked.
"Hmm..." March 7 lowered her head slightly, her hands unconsciously fiddling with her chest, like a child who had done something wrong, waiting for a scolding from his parents.
"Once you're sober, get ready to get back to the train..." Zhou Xiao didn't bring up what happened last night, mainly because there wasn't much to say. He had already learned the details from Xingmei.
A pure misunderstanding upon another misunderstanding...
As for sharing a bed... it's not a big deal to share a bed with your buddy.
"Okay..." Seeing that Zhou Xiao didn't mention it, March 7 nodded, pretending that nothing had happened.
"I'm going back to the lower level for a bit... You guys wait for me in the upper level?" Zhou Xiao asked, glancing at everyone.
"Huh? Back to the lower level..." March 7th paused for a moment, "How about we go together? After all... we've never been to the lower level before..."
Xingmei said she had no objection.
Danheng, however, followed the majority rule.
The group reached an agreement to depart from the Goethe Hotel in the upper section and return to the lower section.
...
Bronya succeeded Cocolia as the new High Protector of Beloborg, re-establishing the connection between the upper and lower levels. The cable car leading to the underground is planned to open, but due to the large number of areas in Beloborg that need urgent repairs, the exact opening date is currently unknown.
Zhou Xiao and his group had no choice but to go to the lower area again through the furnace core passage.
“Speaking of which, the Upper District looks really busy. Bronya must be having a tough time…” March 7th casually brought up the topic in the Hearth Passage.
Hard...
Bronya is now working non-stop.
There were just too many things to deal with in Belleburg. Putting aside the re-establishment of connections between the upper and lower districts, the repair of Belleburg's walls and the reconstruction of Cribburg alone were enough to give her a headache.
So it seems... Zhou Xiao, who caused the damage to these two buildings, really is one of the villains...
Zhou Xiao: I clearly didn't do anything, but I feel like I did everything...
...
Lower-level area, Panyan Town.
News of defeating Cocolia and re-establishing communication between the upper and lower districts was brought back to the lower district yesterday by Seele and her companions. The lower district miners, upon hearing this, were somewhat incredulous; they never imagined they would have the chance to return to the upper district...
A ray of light pierced the darkness and shone into the pitch-black underground... rekindling hope, perhaps a turning point for the lower districts.
"Holy crap! Kunfeng Zhe!"
"Get away from here..."
Upon arriving at the lower level, everyone who saw Zhou Xiao immediately gave way, demonstrating that Kun Fengzhe's formidable reputation still resonated throughout the lower level...
Zhou Xiao didn't care, and there was nothing to care about.
He first went to the front of the Great Rift Valley to see Xiao Hao's burial site.
Looking at the vast rift valley that seemed to run through the entire Belberg, March 7th and Star Girl were both filled with emotion.
"So this is the great rift that Zhou Xiao carved out. No wonder I saw such a long crack when I was looking for the star core..."
"Quickly take a picture to record this..."
Perhaps it was because March 7th felt that this was something Zhou Xiao had cleaved out, and it was worth recording, so he took out his small camera and took a picture. This time, without exception, he also captured Zhou Xiao's profile in the photo.
Um...
Perfect. That's what March 7th thought.
Zhou Xiao, who was not far away, raised his eyebrows in slight confusion upon hearing what March 7 had just said.
He doesn't quite understand... what's so noteworthy about this?
Of course.
He didn't say anything, his gaze shifting until it finally settled on Xiao Hao's grave. He stared at it for two seconds, and memories of Xiao Hao inadvertently flashed through his mind.
The somewhat rough scabbard hung at his waist...
"Brother is leaving... Your wish has been fulfilled for now. As for how long the lower district can remain stable and united... I don't know."
Upon hearing Zhou Xiao's voice, March 7, Xingmei, and the others, who had been focused on the photo, realized that there seemed to be a grave in front of Zhou Xiao.
Xiao Hao?
Xingmei and the others went closer and saw that the words "Xiao Hao" were clearly carved on the stone wall next to them, which indicated that he was the owner of this tomb.
Is he Zhou Xiao's friend?
March 7th and Xingmei exchanged a glance, but neither of them asked Zhou Xiao. They now understood why Zhou Xiao had come to the Great Rift Valley first when he arrived in the lower district...
