Chapter 185 Stay
"Brother Wen Yu...can you stay with me for a while?"
The girl got off the hovercraft first and turned to look at him with her plain face.
Xie Wenyu's heart almost melted.
How could I say no?
Even though it was already late, and he was a little tired after going through a series of things, including fighting.
But Xie Wenyu still responded with great pleasure:
"sure."
This was the first time he entered the house.
The developer's unified decoration style has been added with many girly items. It does not look out of place, but rather has a warm and homey feel.
Of course, there were also inevitable traces left by Qiao Zhiyu when he stayed overnight there before.
Yu Zhi seemed to notice it as well and bit her lip in annoyance.
"Brother Wen Yu, these slippers were worn by Zhiyu before... If you mind..."
"It's okay, I don't mind." Xie Wenyu put it on as if it was very natural.
Seeing that he looked normal, the girl felt a little more relaxed. She ran to the kitchen in her slippers, took out two bottles of water, and handed one to Xie Wenyu.
"Actually, the main reason is that I saw the cyborgs rushing towards me today... I couldn't sleep."
Yu Zhi took a sip of water, let herself fall into the soft and wide sofa, and said in a muffled voice.
It's like not being able to stay alone after watching a horror movie. What's more, the house is so big that the empty space makes people feel even more uneasy.
She simply thought of asking Xie Wenyu to accompany her, and by the way...she could also try some new flavors depending on the situation.
Xie Wenyu walked over and sat next to her, patting her back as if comforting a child.
"It's okay. If you can't sleep, I'll stay with you."
If you are mentally stimulated, you cannot force yourself to fall asleep.
He sent a message to Xie's mother to prevent her from waiting anxiously. Today's attack was so serious that his parents naturally knew that they had returned early.
Xie Wenyu: [Mom, I won't be back until later.]
Xie's mother asked anxiously: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Xie Wenyu: [No, I'm here to keep Zhizhi company.]
Xie's mother was stunned for a moment, then she grinned and quickly replied: [Okay, it's okay, don't worry!]
Then, worried that her son wouldn't catch on, she chased after him and said, "Such a big thing happened today. The little girl must be terrified. Please spend more time with her!"
Xie Wenyu felt helpless about his mother's 180-degree change in attitude, so he turned off the screen and did not reply.
Yu Zhi always found a comfortable position for herself, so she lay across his legs, opening her eyes to look at this completely unobstructed face from this novel angle.
Xie Wenyu's facial features are gentle and there is almost no sense of aggression, but when viewed from below, he finally has a domineering attitude.
But his expression was immediately dispelled by the gentle smile on his face as he lowered his head.
There was something reassuring about him, like you didn't have to worry about anything when you were with him.
This is a trait unique to Xie Wenyu, and it can also calm Yu Zhi's heart slowly at this moment.
Xie Wenyu's expression was somewhat focused. He raised his hand to push back the hair scattered on Yu Zhi's face, while his other hand was intertwined with hers, and was currently placed on the girl's lower abdomen.
The two of them stayed like this quietly for a while, neither showing any sign of impatience.
"I think..." Yu Zhi said carefully, "That scene made me very uncomfortable."
Xie Wenyu didn't say anything and listened to her carefully until she finished speaking.
"It's not just physical discomfort, it's also psychological pain."
Although she had felt the displeased class differences in interstellar society many times before, today the lowliness of human life was laid out before her in an extremely blunt manner.
She heard the high-level transcendents at the time discussing in confusion why they didn't just kill these modified humans.
This is what most people think. On the contrary, there are only a few upper-class people like Wei Yuan who care about the lives of every civilian.
But in her previous world, the country would spare no effort to rescue every citizen and would never allow such a situation where the lower-class people disappeared one by one.
Yu Zhi doesn't consider herself a saint, and she would even do whatever it takes to achieve her goals, but she still can't turn a blind eye after hearing about such things.
Could it be that it is more or less influenced by the original owner's memory?
After all, "she" was once in a position where she was at the mercy of others.
"I don't understand why the lives of the poor seem so worthless. And why, even though resources and production capacity are abundant, some people still go hungry."
The girl's voice was not loud, but it pierced Xie Wenyu's ears with great force.
As a vested interest in some sense, he was even too ashamed to look at her.
Xie Wenyu naturally knew the trick.
The top families control 95% of the resources and wealth on the developed planets, and divide the class levels according to bloodline talents to consolidate their ruling position.
High-ranking citizens with talents above A-level enjoy a series of privileges, while low-ranking citizens and unregistered residents of E and F levels do not even have their basic human rights guaranteed.
Perhaps it was not so extreme when the federation and empire were first established.
But as thousands of years passed, the upper class people lived a life of plenty, while the lower class people were exploited to the point of being destitute.
"I……"
Xie Wenyu, who has always been quick-witted, was speechless at this moment.
But of course Yu Zhi would not vent her anger on him. After all, strictly speaking, she herself now also enjoys these privileges and wealth.
Sensing Xie Wenyu's inner shame, Yu Zhi appropriately stopped the topic and raised her hand to touch his face.
Xie Wenyu rubbed his head into her palm, feeling that rationality was no longer important. He just wanted to make the girl happy.
If Zhizhi doesn't like the current state of society, he will try his best to change it.
*
The hands point to twelve o'clock.
Yu Zhi finally felt a little sleepy.
"I'm going to wash up first."
She stood up from Xie Wenyu's legs and yawned softly.
"Okay." Xie Wenyu stood up, but paused.
The girl just walked towards the bedroom by herself, but didn't seem to have any intention of seeing the guest off?
He was a little bit unbelieving and took a step forward, wanting to ask, but he was afraid that he might have misunderstood, or that Yu Zhi might change her mind.
During this hesitation, Yu Zhi had already entered the master bedroom.
Xie Wenyu pursed his lips, feeling a little dry.
Suddenly, there was the sound of a door being opened at the other end of the corridor. The girl only poked her head out, seeming a little embarrassed.
"Brother Wen Yu, you can... wash up in the bathroom outside. There are new clothes inside."
These are supplies thoughtfully prepared by a homemade small multifunctional robot.
Xie Wenyu stood there at a loss, heat spreading throughout his body.
The first thought that came to my mind was...
He finally made it through.
