Chapter 245: Short Talk
"It's a long story for me. I was captured here for research." Jiang Mian smiled faintly, seemingly helpless.
Then she looked up at him: "Why are you here? Is Lin Xuan here too?"
When Xuan Ji heard Jiang Mian asking about Lin Xuan, he fell silent for a moment. The joy he had felt in his heart because Jiang Mian took the initiative to come over and greet him seemed to have dissipated a lot.
But what does he care?
Originally, he and she didn't have much interaction.
If he hadn't been Lin Xuan's beast slave, she might not have come to say hello to her.
His red eyes moved, his eyelashes drooped slightly, and he spoke softly: "After leaving Exile Star, Lin Xuan had already deactivated the chip and let us go."
Jiang Mian paused. Lin Xuan had never mentioned this to her, and she thought she was always with her orcs.
Xuan Ji added, "So I don't know how Lin Xuan is doing now."
His tone was calm, as if he was just bringing up the past that was not worth mentioning.
"Is that so?" Jiang Mian nodded thoughtfully.
"Yeah." Xuan Ji responded softly.
The two of them just fell silent.
Xuan Ji lowered his eyes to look at her, and she raised her eyes to look at him. The two were speechless for a moment.
So just as Jiang Mian was about to say something, Xuan Ji spoke up: "Do you remember my name?"
For a moment, Jiang Mian subconsciously replied: "What's wrong?"
Xuan Ji's gaze shifted away from her face, and he said softly, "I just didn't expect you would remember me."
He and several other orcs were looking at Lin Xuan from behind.
Among so many orcs, how come she only remembers him?
Jiang Mian smiled and said, "I have a deep impression of you."
After all, he is the one Lin Xuan likes the most.
He is also the best looking among the orcs.
"And you saved me." Jiang Mian added.
In fact, he felt that he was not proactive, but he had unknowingly become much more proactive than other orcs.
"That's it." Xuan Ji smiled lightly.
The air was quiet for a while.
It seemed like the two of them really had nothing to talk about.
"Well, how are you now?" Jiang Mian really didn't know what to talk to him about. After all, they were not familiar with each other, so he just asked casually.
"Not bad." Xuan Ji replied lightly, "I became a military beast. I recently came here to change my mechanical body and check it out for a few days."
Jiang Mian glanced at him. It turned out that the mechanical smell she smelled before was not her illusion. The young man had mechanical limbs installed.
"Well, you have to change the mechanical body frequently, otherwise the rejection reaction will be very uncomfortable." Jiang Mian smiled politely.
"Yeah." Xuan Ji responded softly again.
The two of them fell silent again.
"Well, it's nothing. I'll go back to the dormitory first." Jiang Mian spoke.
"Okay." Xuan Ji stood in place and responded softly.
Jiang Mian said hello, turned around and prepared to leave. After walking for a while, he thought of Scar Army Beast and decided to let Xuan Ji give him a ride.
She turned around and was surprised to find that Xuan Ji was still standing there, as if he had been watching her leave. However, he did not expect her to turn around suddenly, and his red eyes fluctuated slightly.
"What's wrong?" Xuan Ji frowned and asked softly.
Jiang Mian immediately put aside his confusion about why the other person was still standing there and took a few steps forward, looking a little embarrassed. "Could you please give me a ride? Just drop me off at the downstairs of my accommodation."
Xuan Ji looked at her for a while, didn't ask any more questions, and nodded: "Okay."
So Xuan Ji just walked Jiang Mian back.
On the road, in order not to appear awkward and indifferent.
Jiang Mian took the initiative to talk to him: "I am also working in this research institute now, and I have some understanding of the fusion of machinery and animal bodies. If you feel uncomfortable in the future, you can come to me."
"Okay." Xuan Ji responded.
"By the way, how long have you been here?" Jiang Mian tilted his head and glanced at Xuan Ji.
Xuan Ji was silent for a moment and then spoke again: "A few months."
These few months happened to be the few months after Jiang Mian left Exile Star.
So along the way, Jiang Mian casually chatted with Xuan Ji for a few words, all about some common topics.
The accommodation building was soon reached. After all, the distance was not very far and it was just a short walk away.
Jiang Mian didn't expect that the scarred orc would actually block people downstairs of the dormitory building.
Downstairs in the accommodation building, several scarred orcs and a few other orcs were standing there looking like hooligans. Several of the orcs were half-squatting, and the scarred orc was leaning against the pillar next to them.
"Brother, that human is here." An orc quickly stood up, walked to the side of the scarred orc and spoke, motioning the scarred orc to look over there.
The Scar Orc immediately raised his head and looked in the direction of Jiang Mian, and indeed saw Jiang Mian.
"Go." Scar Orc gave the order, stood up straight, and strode towards Jiang Mian.
Jiang Mian looked at the orcs walking towards her, her eyebrows twitching slightly. She really didn't expect that those people would actually block her.
"Xuan Ji, are you okay..." Jiang Mian quietly approached Xuan Ji and said softly, "I have an injection in my hand, I will help you."
Xuan Ji didn't say anything, but just walked forward and stood in front of her.
The scarred orc came over with a few orcs. He had been staring at Jiang Mian fiercely, but the next second, a figure blocked Jiang Mian's way, so that he paused slightly, raised his eyes and looked at Xuan Ji.
His eyebrows jumped again when he saw this.
How does Xuan Ji know this human?
"Hey, Xuanji, you are here too." The scarred orc greeted him.
Xuan Ji didn't say anything, but his cold gaze fell on the scar orc.
The scarred orc narrowed his eyes and looked at Xuan Ji for a while. The two of them were silent and the atmosphere became a little tense.
It was the Scar Orc who spoke first: "Hey, this is based on first come first served. I took a fancy to this human first."
"Want to fight?" Xuan Ji spoke directly.
The scarred orc stared at Xuan Ji with a sinister look for a while: "Why, don't you want to give me face?"
"See if you have the ability to get this face." Xuan Ji was also wearing a black bulletproof vest. Like them, he was a military beast, so it was reasonable for them to know each other.
The scarred orc stared at Xuan Ji for a while, then finally turned around and left viciously.
Jiang Mian paused, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked to Xuan Ji's side: "Thank you, Xuan Ji."
She said this and then asked doubtfully: "Do you know each other?"
Otherwise, that military beast wouldn't have said that. They must know each other.
"He is the captain of Team Seven." Xuan Ji turned his head and looked at her.
"Then who are you?" Jiang Mian asked subconsciously.
"I'm the captain of Team Three." Xuan Ji replied calmly.
