"You also said last time that time is running out." Ai Yu spread his hands, seemingly not taking these words to heart.
Lanling felt helpless and finally said nothing.
The coffee on the table was no longer warm.
Lanling sighed, and finally left without even drinking a sip of coffee.
Before leaving, he left these words: "You should all be thankful that it was me who came to Blue Star, and I am only interested in Xila and Lu Beast."
"Even if it wasn't you who came, humans wouldn't lose."
——
In front of Ling Shuangxi's single apartment.
"Shuangxi, this time, we will definitely be able to have a good meal." Hua Jianzui held a bank card that he had snatched from somewhere between his fingers and showed it to her. "You've been tired for a long time, too. Let's get together and take a break."
Ling Shuangxi's lips curled up slightly, looking at Hua Jianzui in a white suit, her fingers slightly bent: "Wait a moment."
"good."
A few minutes later, Ling Shuangxi opened the door again, wearing a black halter dress with tiered, irregular geometric shapes, and a pair of matching suede stilettos. She had pinned a crystal hairpin in her hair to make it look even better with the dress.
Ling Shuangxi raised her hand and held Hua Jianzui's wrist. Although she was closing the door, her peripheral vision kept paying attention to Hua Jianzui's facial expression: "Let's go."
"Okay." Hua Jianzui put the card away and snapped his fingers. "Let's just max out this card later."
Ling Shuangxi's tone was normal: "It's Gu Ran's card, right?"
"No." Hua Jianzui kept it a secret and didn't say it directly. He asked with concern, "Did you have a fight with Gu Ran recently?"
Ling Shuangxi blinked: "No."
Hua Jianzui raised an eyebrow, somewhat unconvinced, but no longer stood up for Gu Ran: "Alright, what do you want to eat later?"
"It's all up to you."
After entering the elevator, Ling Shuangxi moved closer to Hua Jianzui intentionally or unintentionally. She looked straight at the two people reflected in the elevator door, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly again.
Hua Jianzui was resting his chin on his hand, thinking about what to eat next, and didn't pay attention to this side.
When the elevator door opened, Ling Shuangxi's eyelashes trembled. She turned and looked over. Hua Jianzui seemed to have thought about what to eat later and had a smile on his face.
"Shuangxi, how about we go eat hot pot, have some dessert, and then go to the night market?"
"As you say."
As Huajianzui said, they went side by side to eat delicious food, have fun, and finally sat by the moat to enjoy the breeze.
Hua Jianzui bent down and checked Ling Shuangxi's heel: "Does it hurt?"
Ling Shuangxi shook her head: "It doesn't hurt, I'm used to it."
Hua Jianzui didn't care: "You don't usually wear high heels, where did you get used to it?" Hua Jianzui lifted Ling Shuangxi's foot, took off the high heels, placed it on his outstretched leg, and gently massaged it. "Does it hurt you?"
"No." Ling Shuangxi turned her body sideways and looked at Hua Jianzui who lowered his head and massaged her feet seriously. She was moved several times.
But when Huajianzui looked up, Lingshuangxi's face returned to normal.
"Shuangxi, I see you didn't eat much just now. Don't you like the restaurant I chose? Are you really not hungry? Let's try a few more places later."
"No, that would be such a waste. Whatever I don't finish is yours, and you can't eat it anymore, so let's not waste it."
Hua Jianzui nodded thoughtfully and continued massaging Ling Shuangxi's other foot: "Then I'll buy some food later and go back to make you something you like?"
"No, cooking is troublesome and I don't know how to do it."
Hua Jianzui understood Ling Shuangxi's meaning: "Okay."
"flower."
"Um?"
"fine."
"Um."
…
Temporary Strategic Department, Captain Ling Shuangxi, Deputy Captain Guan Zaizhou, several team members, Royal Secretary Su Ci, and the principal's office at the base.
At this moment, Gu Ran was sitting at the table, his eyes scanning every seat. Some were absent, some were out of contact, and his brows couldn't help but frown.
Su Ci, who was standing by, saw this and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and said, "Mr. Gu, it seems everyone is very busy! Will the meeting continue today? If not, I will take my leave first."
After hearing this, Gu Ran sighed softly, waved his hand helplessly and said, "Forget it, let's adjourn." After that, he watched Su Ci leave.
When the crisp sound of the door closing and locking reached his ears, Gu Ran reached out to take off the animal mask on his head, stared silently at the long conference table in front of him, and fell into a long silence.
Su Ci outside the door did not turn around and leave immediately as he appeared to be. A sneer appeared on his face. He stretched out his hand to tug at his tight tie, then took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed a number: "Hey, when are you going to fulfill your promise?"
Because the other party was in the wind, the howling wind made the call intermittent, and Su Ci had to work hard to hear the answer clearly.
"Don't worry, it will happen soon."
"That's better." Su Ci hung up the phone, a fierce look flashing in his eyes, which was very different from his usual amiable self.
On the other side, Ling Xiaoan hung up the phone and looked at 001 and Wei Xiaoran: "When will we return home?"
001 sat on the ground, playing with sand like a child, building a castle. Hearing this, he looked up at Ling Xiaoan and said, "Returning to China? Then can I see NI001?"
Ling Xiaoan said this, narrowing his eyes slightly: "That's really a pity, Li Yuzhen is already dead."
001 stopped moving and stared at Ling Xiaoan blankly: "NI001 is dead? Isn't he the most powerful Moon Envoy?"
Ling Xiaoan spread his hands and said, "He wasn't defeated by a star beast, he was defeated by Xila." Ling Xiaoan looked up at the azure sky. "No matter how powerful humans are, they are only mortal. They only last a few decades, or a hundred years if they're lucky. How can they defeat the creatures of higher planes? Just like in the novels, they can destroy the Blue Planet with just one random object."
001 seemed to understand what was said. She stood up, brushed the sand off her white skirt, moved to Ling Xiaoan's lounge chair, leaned against Ling Xiaoan, and reluctantly lay down on it, with her fists clenched in front of her chest.
There was no emotion in her voice: "Oh."
Ling Xiaoan lowered his eyes and looked at the white-haired girl beside him: "001, you are just like the three-no girl in the anime."
"What is that?"
"Silent, expressionless, heartless." Ling Xiaoan finished speaking and laughed. "But it's also good. At least as a former comrade, Li Yuzhen died, and you just said "oh". Unlike us ordinary people."
001 raised his eyes and met Ling Xiaoan's gaze for a moment, then closed his eyes again: "Yeah."
After a while, 001 asked, "Are you sad that NI001 is dead? What does sadness feel like?"
Ling Xiaoan sneered, "Why should I be sad because of others?"
