Double Egg answered quickly, though you could see the tension on its cat face: "What are you doing? I wasn't planning on working today. What if my host finds out?"
"No, I just want to ask, when you saw that person named Shao Yifang today, did you notice anything different?" The complicated expression on Qian Xiao's face at that time was too obvious, making it impossible not to suspect that there was something fishy going on.
"Ah, you mean this? Well, you have no idea how scary that Shao Yifang is. My host said she's a painted-skin ghost, there's not a single real part of her body."
"Ah, then why didn't I notice?" He thought about Shao Yifang again carefully. Although he couldn't remember her face, he definitely didn't find anything wrong with her.
"Of course you can't see it. Only the host who is bound to me and I can see it. None of you people here can see it."
"Can you let me see it?" He was curious too. He knew what the Painted Skin Ghost looked like, and he had read ghost stories, but he had never actually seen one.
"It's not impossible. When you see that woman, you can call me, and I'll show you what she looks like. She's terrifying. Aren't you scared?" It still remembered how its host's heart rate had spiked back then.
Sun Kaicheng... do you really think I'm a child? He's not afraid of zombies or aliens, why would he be afraid of a spirit? He thought Qian Xiao said Shao Yifang was a painted-skin ghost, but Shao Yifang was a real spirit.
I never imagined that a scientific product would be packaged like that.
"Hey, open your eyes! My host is back. We've agreed, you can't betray me, and you can't let my host find out that something's wrong with you."
Don't let its host's seemingly carefree demeanor fool you; it's actually quite clever. If the host discovers anything amiss, it and this kid will be pulled out sooner or later.
How could its double-egg face be any more shameful? It used to boast that the space was unclaimed and could be used by any host. If the host found out that the space not only had an owner, but that the owner was someone the host knew, the host would definitely explode.
As the host said, Qianyi should not lie, because one lie requires a hundred more to cover it up.
It, the twin eggs, finally embarked on this path of no return.
"I won't tell, I won't tell," he didn't want Erdan to know either. Erdan was very relaxed in the space, and if she found out that he had discovered her unreliable side, she would break off all ties with him.
He doesn't have many friends he can really talk to. He finally met a friend like Erdan, who is an adult with a child's body inside. He would be very disappointed if he lost this friend.
Qian Xiao ran back and forth quickly: "Let's go, I wonder what good dishes the state-run restaurant has today?"
“Come with me, I know a place with great food, not far from here.” He was referring to a privately run restaurant, which at this time didn’t have a signboard and operated secretly, and its customers were all regulars.
The two seemed to have found common ground: they both love to eat. This immediately brought them closer, and the initial sense of distance between them disappeared.
Before Qian Xiao regained her memory, she was terrified of hunger. After regaining her memory, she craved all those delicious foods, but knowing that the time was not right, she could only endure it.
Sun Kaicheng, on the other hand, doesn't even know where he came from. What's most lacking in the apocalypse? Food! After returning, he became unusually obsessed with food. His desire to fill his stomach was even stronger than his desire to build up his country.
Two people with different reasons but the same ultimate goal immediately resonated with each other.
Sun Kaicheng pulled the cart and seemed to have endless things to talk about with Qian Xiao: "What you said is true. Then I'll go with you during the holidays and visit my grandpa and grandma."
"Take me up the mountain with you sometime, I've never been hunting in the mountains before." Sun Kaicheng may seem aloof on the surface, but he's actually a great conversationalist and a good straight man.
"That won't do. Our holiday is during the coldest time of year, and the snow in the mountains is really thick then. With our heights, I'm afraid we'll be buried in the thickest part. Let's wait until summer to take you there."
Qian Xiao had never been into the mountains in the dead of winter. It wasn't that she couldn't go, but it would be dangerous, and escaping would be a hassle. You couldn't run fast in that snow. She was brave, but she was also very afraid of death. Who knew if she would have another chance to do it again?
"That's a deal! You have to take me to the mountains during the summer vacation."
He can adapt well to even harsher environments, but he can't tell Erdan about that.
“Sure, I’ll take care of it. I used to go into the mountains alone. I wouldn’t dare bring my friends along. It would be terrible if something happened to them. You’re strong, so we’ll definitely be safe together.”
Sun Kaicheng patted his chest with rare pride: "Not only am I strong, but most of my family members are soldiers. I also know military boxing and am quite skilled. I can definitely be a good helper for you."
Qian Xiao gave a thumbs up: "That's right, being strong isn't enough. I've been strong since I was a child. My great-grandfather taught me martial arts. You have to know how to use your strength to be strong."
Shuangdan's voice suddenly rang in Sun Kaicheng's mind. He subconsciously looked at Qian Xiao and found that Qian Xiao was not acting strangely at all. Shuangdan was talking to him alone. This little system is quite powerful. It can even block its host.
What is he thinking? He can't block the host, yet he can still secretly work for himself?
"What's wrong? Aren't you afraid your host will discover your abnormality?"
Shuangdan rolled her eyes, a gesture she'd learned from her host, which truly expressed her disdain.
It's just an adorable cat with round eyes rolling its eyes; it's hilarious no matter how you look at it.
"No, didn't you want to see what that girl named Shao Yifang looks like? Look across the street."
The two eggs were shouting in Sun Kaicheng's head, making his head ache, and he subconsciously looked over.
Sure enough, a group of people had just come out of the department store across the street, and the one leading them was Shao Yifang.
He felt as if something had touched his eyes, and before he could even ask a question, he was startled by what he saw. Honestly, he had never been this scared since he returned from the apocalypse.
Good heavens, what did he see? Just like Comrade Erdan said, it really is a painted-skin ghost!
Sun Kaicheng was probably too surprised and couldn't control his facial expression.
Qian Xiao happened to turn her head to talk to him and noticed him. She followed Sun Kaicheng's gaze and immediately saw the painted-skin ghost she had seen that morning. She was so scared that she almost blurted out "Damn it!"
