Chapter 035: Business trip, it’s all a lie!
Wen Ji and His Majesty have never used the terminal to urge He Xile to eat, this is the first time.
Could it be that the other party has something to ask him?
Seeing this, He Xile no longer paid attention to what was happening on Starnet. After all, there were robots from the management office to help solve the problem.
He logged off and went to the restaurant with the guards.
However, upon arriving at the destination, He Xile took a few quick steps, greeted Wen Ji and His Majesty politely, and stood there waiting. However, the other party just said "hmm" coldly and continued to eat.
He didn't even look at He Xile, obviously not intending to talk.
What's going on?
Of course, He Xile couldn't stay by the other person's side forever.
He slowly sat down in his own seat, turning his head frequently to look at Wen Jiyu.
And the other side.
Wen Ji and His Majesty were originally sitting in a somewhat sloppy posture, but after a while, his back slowly straightened, and he raised his slender fingers to gather all the silver hair behind his ears, revealing his profile with black lines, and his dining movements became more and more elegant.
Putting a small piece of foie gras into their mouths, Wen Ji and His Majesty lowered their eyes and stared at the cutlery in their hands.
Even without turning his head, he could clearly feel that a pair of gazes were falling on him without hesitation from a distance - this feeling of being stared at made the scales on Wen Jiyu's face surge uncontrollably.
In the entire restaurant, only one person dared to be so blatant.
Wen Jiyu thought casually, this human is indeed too clingy. He had already compromised so much that he even invited her to eat with him, but he didn't expect that this wasn't enough. The human also wanted to stare at him.
Tsk.
How can people eat like this?
Can't you be more restrained?
After a while.
Wen Ji and His Majesty stood up. He walked over to He Xile and said calmly, "You're eating too slowly. I have a lot of things to do and can't wait for you. I'm leaving now."
He Xile: "...Oh, okay."
After the person left, He Xile withdrew his gaze and looked at the delicious food in front of him before he came to his senses.
……ah?
He hadn't told Wen Ji to wait with His Majesty, had he? Why would His Majesty have such an understanding? And why had he come to explain it to him? Was he hinting at something?
He Xile was puzzled and simply stopped thinking about it.

In the next few days, He Xile worked hard to produce the Earth album.
However, his organizing ability is not particularly outstanding. For many things, he needs to remember them and add them temporarily when interacting with the barrage audience.
"I'll record it again when I have time later." He Xile muttered.
On this day, everyone was chatting again.
When the topic of school came up, He Xile casually mentioned that he was about to start elementary school. He sighed softly and said with a somewhat troubled expression, "I never thought that a high school student like me would end up going back to elementary school."
A group of people laughed loudly on the barrage.
"It does sound miserable! But I really want to laugh, hahahaha."
"Although Lan Lan always emphasizes that he's an adult in the culture of Azure Planet, that's not the case in Hexinna. Lan Lan looks too young, not even close to adulthood. I feel like he should just be crammed into school. Besides, the curriculum in Hexinna is slightly different from that on Earth, so it'd be nice to go and experience that."
"That's right."
"By the way, when is Lanlan going to school? I have a niece who will start school in the fall. If I'm lucky, I might even run into you."
He Xile blinked and said, "Your Majesty told me that I will also start school in the fall. Come to think of it, the school on the Azure Planet also ends after the summer vacation, which is quite similar to Hai Xinna."
“Ah, is this true? Ugh, I’m so jealous of my niece!!”
"I also want to go to school with Lanlan."
"No, I feel it's different. Hai Xinna's study cycle is very long, with students starting in batches each year. They only study for three months before taking a break and continuing the next year. Generally speaking, the seasons are assigned based on the students' secondary characteristics, so that students with similar characteristics can be grouped together to minimize conflicts. Well, correspondingly, there are fewer students in the spring, and summer registration should have closed, right? That's why His Majesty allowed you to start in the fall."
He Xile looked at this long passage and couldn't help but be shocked: "Ah? Only three months of school a year?"
This is so cool, right?
The rest of the months were spent playing. And since Hai Xinna's people only reach adulthood and take on human forms at the age of thirty, they can't go out and work before then. So—a full thirty years of playing???
...Oh my God.
"Because our childhood was too long. Long enough for us to grow up."
"Looking back now, I feel like going to school is pretty fun. Lanlan can really experience our Hai Xinna school model. It's much more relaxing than the ones you mentioned before, where classes start at 7 a.m. and then you have to go to evening self-study classes and don't get out until 10 p.m.."
"Yes, that sounds horrible..."
"Alas, when I was little, I didn't know much. I just wanted to grow up quickly. I thought I could do a lot of things, get paid, buy lots of delicious food, and not have to worry about my parents scolding me. But now that I'm grown up, I realize the hardships of growing up, and I long to be a kid again. Those were such happy times. I could sleep with my brothers and sisters every day and not have to worry about anything."
"Yeah, yeah. When I was in elementary school, the purges hadn't happened yet, and the Vatican was still around. I could take theology as an elective. Every day in class, I did nothing but pray. It eventually became our favorite sleeping class. Before the class was even over, we'd all fallen asleep all over the place. Hahahaha."
"Shut up, the one in front!"
"Be careful not to be captured by the Star Network Supervisors."
“…I was wrong. I was wrong.”
"It's not that taboo, is it? We were only told not to mention it during the initial purge, but now that the higher-ups are completely indifferent, and since it actually happened, I don't think there's anything to worry about."
"I think it's been so long now, it's not a big deal."
He Xile was curious and interrupted, "Taking theology as an elective? Is it similar to religion?"
"Good boy, don't listen to their nonsense. It's all outdated."
“Who still believes in religion nowadays?”
"Is there also one on the Blue Planet?"
He Xile nodded. "Yes, we have many formal religions here." He briefly explained what he knew. "These are roughly the types. However, our elementary school doesn't offer this as an elective course... University philosophy seems to include religious studies, but I haven't been to university yet, so I'm not very clear on the specifics."
He thought for a moment and added, "As long as it's a legitimate religion, we're free to practice it here. No one's deliberately trying to stop us. Life is full of ups and downs. Every time we get a little better, something happens and we're dealt a heavy blow. So many people turn to religion to find spiritual comfort."
At the end, He Xile's voice became a little softer.
"We only have one religion, and that's from the past."
"Not anymore."
"Honestly, believing in religion was something only the older generation did. Now that it's banned by law, it's even rarer. I actually think it's good now. Finally, there's less chaos."
"Indeed, that time in Hai Xinna was quite dark."
He Xile was stunned.
When he'd been in the library before, trying to learn about Hai Xinna, he'd never come across anything about religion or the Vatican. If it hadn't been mentioned in the comments today, he wouldn't have known there was even a cult, or Hai Xinna's dark past...
What happened?
Why is history buried?
For some reason, He Xile suddenly thought of the last time after watching the fireworks at the Wave Festival, the man in the black cloak deliberately bumped into him and stuffed a note into his hand.
——Fall Plan?
Previously, He Xile thought that this plan was a scam, but now he thinks, could it be related to this? However, these are all He Xile's speculations, without any evidence.
He Xile was just hesitating whether to ask cryptically when he received a new message from Yu Zhuo the next second: "Sir, the topic of the Vatican and the Divine Church has been quite sensitive in recent years, especially with the higher-ups. If discovered, they might blame you. Please do not continue discussing this with them."
He Xile: "Okay, okay, sorry."
He felt a little embarrassed.
The previous topic was clearly about school, but somehow it turned in this direction - after all, this is He Xile's live broadcast room, and he has the responsibility to control the direction of the barrage.
He Xile immediately touched his stomach and changed the subject, saying, "I feel a little hungry. Let's go eat something first."

That night, He Xile had a rather bad dream.
However, when he woke up the next morning, He Xile could no longer remember any details, let alone the dream itself.
After washing up, he glanced at his schedule and realized that today was his day off, so after breakfast, he went out for a walk with the guards. Passing by a basket outside the French window, He Xile noticed with his sharp eyes that it contained a neatly tied bouquet of blue and white flowers.
He exclaimed "Ah" and walked over quickly.
He Xile picked up the small bouquet, his eyes curved, and he turned to show off to the guards: "Look, it was given to me by the big octopus!"
Since it was placed in the basket, it was of course for him.
When the guard heard this, his expression became a little strange for a moment.
He looked at the bouquet of flowers, as if he didn't know how to respond, and could only say dryly, "Congratulations, Your Excellency."
In this kind of situation, it always feels weird to say "congratulations".
But He Xile didn't care.
He happily carried the bouquet and continued to stroll around. After circling the small garden, He Xile was about to call the guard back to the room when he saw the guard looking down at the terminal and said, "Sir, Dr. Yan is here."
Dr. Yan?
He Xile was delighted.
The guard prompted, "It's the design studio staff member who can help you adjust the terminal's mental power level."
"Oh oh oh."
He Xile remembered it immediately.
——The one who is on a business trip.
He Xile: "Is he already waiting? Then let's go over now."
The guard led the way and the two soon arrived at the reception room.
As soon as he opened the door, He Xile saw a meticulously dressed man with long legs, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and a very cold expression. He sat gracefully on a stool, flipping through a thick book. But the most striking thing about him was the large, orange tail that swung leisurely behind him.
It is his second characteristic.
Hearing the noise at the door, the man stood up.
Almost the moment he saw He Xile, the man's tail began to spin like a whirlwind, so fast that an afterimage almost appeared!
He Xile: “…”
So it must be the big yellow dog that was detained for streaking!
What business trip, it's all a lie!!!
