Could this be due to the train conductor's favoritism?
"Alright, you've all worked hard this time. Go back and rest..." Himeko finished speaking and then turned her gaze to Zhou Xiao's face: "Zhou Xiao... come with me in a bit..."
"good..."
"Hmm?"
When he heard that Ji Zi wanted to see Zhou Xiao alone, San Yueqi was slightly taken aback, and then watched Zhou Xiao and Ji Zi leave.
...
After everyone dispersed, Zhou Xiao told Jarvis and Kunkunzi to wait in the kitchen car at the back of the train, and then followed Himeko to the logistics car.
The two exchanged glances like undercover agents, making sure no one was around. Then, Himeko silently took out an envelope and handed it to Zhou Xiao.
"This is your bonus for this mission..."
"Thank you, Sister Himeko. As for the local specialties, I'll have Jarvis find a good place to store them later..." Zhou Xiao didn't open it directly. He touched the envelope slightly and felt that it was a bit thin. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be a card.
"Oh right...this is for you." After putting the envelope in his pocket, Zhou Xiao remembered something and took out the crystal he bought from Xiao Hao from his other pocket and handed it to Ji Zi.
"What is this?" Himeko took it and found that it was a fiery red crystal with high transparency, like crystal.
“Souvenirs…” Zhou Xiao hadn’t forgotten about this. After giving one to Xingmei and March 7 in the lower area, he handed one to Danheng and Walter when he saw them.
"Oh...you're quite thoughtful." Himeko said this, then asked about Zhou Xiao and March 7's situation as if she were watching a gossip.
"How are things going with you and Xiao Sanyue? I heard from Xing that Xiao Sanyue got drunk and caused you a lot of trouble..."
star...
When Ji Zi brought up this topic, Zhou Xiao frowned.
What am I going to do with this big-mouthed apprentice...? He can't believe he keeps telling everyone everything?!
"Nothing's wrong... just like that, she drank too much and said some nonsense..." Zhou Xiao's answer was rather vague, which made Ji Zi look like she suddenly understood and say:
"I see... Actually... sometimes what people say when they're drunk might be the truth."
"?"
Zhou Xiao felt that Ji Zi was acting strangely.
"Himeko-nee...did you...already know something?"
Seeing Ji Zi's appearance, Zhou Xiao finally realized what was happening.
Why did Himeko use such a lame excuse and money to trick him into going on a mission with Yarilo VI...? And why, after he made contact with the train, did Himeko still ask him to help March 7th and the others complete the mission to seal the star core...?
So everyone's doing this to create an opportunity for March 7th?
"Me? I don't know." Himeko scratched her hair, then changed the subject:
"Are you thirsty? Hey, you must be exhausted after working so hard at Yalilo No. 6. Shall I make you a cup of coffee?"
"I've recently researched a new type of coffee, and I think it's pretty good..."
stiff.
The topic was changed too abruptly.
Zhou Xiao glanced at Ji Zi a few more times without saying a word. He only saw Ji Zi move little by little until she left the logistics vehicle and disappeared from his sight.
The group's darling, March 7th... without a doubt.
Dude...doing this.
Zhou Xiao shook his head and then left the logistics vehicle.
...
Time flies when you're on a train.
Before long, it was dinner time. After enjoying Zhou Xiao's cooking in the train's kitchen, everyone went their separate ways to attend to their own affairs.
Dan Heng was busy organizing and updating the think tank's data on Yalilo VI...
Walter, on the other hand, wanted to study the broken sword that had undergone a miraculous transformation...
On March 7th, unusually, he stayed in the train kitchen and offered to help Zhou Xiao wash dishes and clean the kitchen, but Zhou Xiao declined.
After all, Zhou Xiao is different now than before; he now has the robot Jarvis...
But very quickly.
He then realized something was wrong.
Jarvis... from the very beginning, it was a combat-oriented mechanical machine assembled and modified from a bunch of automaton mechanical materials. Its purpose in doing housework and cleaning is that its giant mechanical hand can crush a plate with just a little force...
And what about Kun Kunzi...?
It was designed for reconnaissance from the beginning. Although it has a lot of "jade feet", it does not change the fact that it is a "bionic" design!
Zhou Xiao stared at Jarvis and Kun Kunzi, then stroked his chin, immediately feeling his defeat.
"I absolutely have to order a household robot... I definitely will!"
A moment later.
After Zhou Xiao finished tidying up and returned to his room to resume his daily activities on the train, he was about to place an order on the head office's shopping platform when he suddenly realized that he still hadn't found his phone.
Grass.
It is a type of plant.
Zhou Xiao silently got up, preparing to borrow Dan Heng's phone to place an order. Just as he stepped out of the room, he heard some noise from the train's kitchen again.
That's strange.
Is it going to be March 7th again?
Without saying a word, Zhou Xiao walked towards the train's kitchen, pushed open the door, and glanced around. He saw March 7 sitting on a chair in the dining room, looking out at the starry sky with a thoughtful expression.
She was very quiet at this moment, unlike her usual carefree self. The faint light refracted from the Yalilo VI star shone on her face, as if draping her in a mysterious veil.
"Are you hungry again? I remember you ate something alright tonight."
Zhou Xiao's voice rang out, and March 7 turned around upon hearing it. Seeing it was Zhou Xiao, she suddenly felt a little nervous and uneasy. She replied:
I'm not hungry.
"Why would you come to my train's kitchen if you're not hungry? To look at the stars?"
Zhou Xiao felt that March 7th was acting strangely. In fact, ever since March 7th told him that she liked him, he had felt that March 7th had been acting strangely.
"Can't sleep...sit for a while." March 7th was wearing pajamas and holding a Pam doll in her arms.
"Are you...sick?"
"No...it's just...I'm not in a very good mood."
March 7th also felt that he was a little strange.
Perhaps... Zhou Xiao's failure to give her a clear answer that night caused a shift in her mindset, leading her to overthink things.
"So you still have something on your mind?" Zhou Xiao sat down on the other side of the chair on March 7th's side. "Tell me about it, let me cheer you up..."
“...”
March 7 glanced at Zhou Xiao twice, feeling somewhat speechless and not really wanting to pay attention to him.
"Not going to talk? Want some peace and quiet? Fine, where's your phone? Can I borrow it for a bit? I lost my phone, I need to go shopping and get a new one..." Seeing that March 7 didn't want to talk to him, Zhou Xiao didn't provoke her any further.
"Here..." March 7th unlocked his phone and handed it to Zhou Xiao.
Zhou Xiao took it and, without any ceremony, began browsing the company's shopping platform in front of March 7th.
Of course.
A gentleman like him would never look at March 7th's shopping cart...
...
P.S.: I'm begging for everything, please, please, sob sob sob.
