"That way, the person will notice," the butler reminded her.
"But we can't go back today."
Qiu Shui said with a headache.
The flying car is not fully charged and cannot move.
etc……
Speaking of accommodation, something suddenly came to her mind.
The traveler just mentioned that his home is in Hughes City?
...
...
"Thank you for your help."
Standing at the subway station entrance, Qiu Shui said to Tian Ma Xingke, somewhat embarrassed.
"fine."
Tian Ma Xingke smiled, carrying a bag in his left hand, a suitcase in his right, and a white bag on his back.
Should we take the subway?
They went underground, and Qiu Shui looked at the ancient tracks in front of her and asked.
"The surface traffic is too congested, taking the subway is much faster," said Tianma Xingke.
Standing side by side outside the subway waiting line, Qiu Shui suddenly felt as if they were still in the virtual world of the game.
The travelers were still taking good care of her; nothing had changed. They were about to board the subway to fight the Yamata no Orochi...
"..."
Patting her head, Qiu Shui wondered helplessly: What on earth is she thinking?
Hearing two snapping sounds, Tian Ma Xingke turned to look at her, and their eyes met.
Tian Ma Xingke asked, "Qiu Shui, what is your real name?"
“Qiu Shui,” Qiu Shui said, then added, “My surname is Luo, and my given name is Qiu Shui.”
Tianma nodded, clearly knowing the origin of "Autumn Beauty" in the game.
"And you?" Qiu Shui asked.
She couldn't keep calling him "Tianma Xingke" forever.
"Shen Shiyang".
Tian Maxingke coolly said his name.
When Qiu Shui saw him pronounce the name so seriously, she felt that the feeling she had in the game had completely disappeared.
"This name is sweet and cheerful," she said.
"It doesn't seem to fit my feelings, does it?" Tian Ma Xingke asked.
Qiu Shui nodded.
In the game, Tian Ma Xingke is a loyal and carefree person.
In real life, she felt that his personality was the same as in the game, except that he had an added layer of caution that was hard to put into words.
She couldn't sense his identity; he wasn't much older than her. But he possessed a complexity that only working professionals typically have.
Are you a student?
She had always wanted to ask this question, but in the end she kept it to herself; it was enough that he was good in the game.
"The subway is here, let's go."
Tian Ma's reminder brought her back to reality, and they entered the subway, embarking on their journey home.
As they walked out of the subway station, they headed towards Tian Ma Xingke's house. On the way, Tian Ma Xingke bought her a fruit-filled bun.
It's mango flavored.
After receiving the fragrant mango bursting bun, Qiu Shui noticed that his hand was empty; it turned out he had only bought one.
Aren't you going to eat?
Qiu Shui tried to break the bursting bun in half, and they each took one half.
I'm not hungry yet.
Tian Ma Xingke smiled.
When he reached the end of the street, he turned into a side street, with Qiu Shui following behind him.
They walked and walked, chatting all the way, their laughter filling the air. Along the way, Qiu Shui learned a lot about him.
They walked for a long time until a commercial street appeared in front of them. According to the navigation provided by the electronic butler, this place was located in a remote area of Hughes City.
Entering the commercial street, they continued walking in one direction. When they reached an intersection, Tian Ma Xingke turned in again.
After walking for more than ten minutes, they came to a motorcycle repair shop. Tian Ma stopped, struggled to take out the key, and the door of the motorcycle shop opened with a click.
"Come in."
Tian Ma Xingke said.
Upon seeing this place, Qiu Shui felt a mix of emotions.
Inside, the store has two floors. The first floor is semi-open and semi-closed. The open area has mechanical equipment, while the closed area has rows of black motorcycles and engines.
Tian Ma Xingke walked in, closed the door, and turned on the lights, illuminating the shop. Qiu Shui saw a staircase leading upstairs in the corner, and they went upstairs from there.
The second floor is the accommodation area, which is smaller than the first floor, about seventy square meters. It has very few items, but it is very tidy.
After placing his luggage on the bedside table, Tian Ma Xingke opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of beverage, and placed it in front of Qiu Shui.
"I'll cook dinner. You can turn on the TV and watch for a while, and have some drinks," he said.
"Let me help you."
Qiu Shui stood up from the sofa, wanting to go into the kitchen with him, only to find that there was only room for one person.
"Traveler, do you have a girlfriend?"
She asked instinctively.
"No."
A muffled voice came from the kitchen.
Sitting on the sofa, Qiu Shui felt very oppressed. She turned on the TV, which was playing some news and old movies.
After watching for a while, Tian Ma Xingke came out with two plates containing mashed potatoes with boiled eggs.
"It smells so good!"
Qiu Shui happily accepted the plate.
"Wait, I'll go heat up two chicken drumsticks."
Tian Ma Xingke put down the plate, turned around and went to the kitchen. He scooped out two marinated chicken legs from the jar on the ground, put them in a bowl, and heated them in the microwave.
Qiu Shui peeked at the jar through the crack, and a faint, intermittent aroma slowly wafted from the kitchen.
Looking at the mashed potatoes on the table, Qiu Shui opened her luggage, which contained meatballs she had bought at the gas station.
Just as the meatballs were placed on the table, Tian Ma Xingke came out carrying a chicken leg.
"What's this?"
He saw the box containing the meatballs.
“My lunch is still fresh. Let’s finish it.” Qiu Shui picked up a meatball and put it on his plate.
Tian Ma Xingke picked it up and took a bite, then noticed something: "There's a quail egg inside?"
"Aren't you surprised?"
Qiu Shui picked one up and put it in her mouth.
...
After the meal, Tian Ma Xingke introduced his home's water heater and bathroom. Since hot water was limited, he asked Qiu Shui to go in and take a shower first.
Upon entering the bathroom, Qiu Shui was not used to this standing shower method, so she quickly washed herself and came out.
Tian Ma Xingke was sitting on the sofa. When he saw her come out so quickly, he thought she had forgotten to bring a change of clothes and shower gel.
“I’ll go buy some shower gel,” he said.
He's a man and doesn't usually use shower gel or anything like that, but Qiu Shui, being a girl, definitely needs it.
"No need, I'm not dirty, you go ahead and wash."
Qiu Shui took a towel, sat on the bed and slowly dried her hair, while Tian Ma Xingke took a change of clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
After he entered the bathroom, Qiu Shui looked for the butler, who had shrunk into a small ball and hidden on top of the cabinet, entering safe mode.
"Butler, don't expose yourself later," Qiu Shui said.
She thought the traveler would be heartbroken to see the steward.
"Orders received."
After she finished speaking, the room fell silent. Qiu Shui listened quietly to the sound of running water in the bathroom, her eyelids drooping.
The early spring weather was a little chilly. She climbed into bed, where the blanket the traveler had found for her was on top of it, and she climbed up and lay down.
After taking a bath, Tian Ma Xingke came out of the bathroom and found that Qiu Shui was missing. After searching carefully, he anxiously turned on all the lights.
