Chapter 498 Poor Driving Skills
Seeing that Jiang Mu and Zhou Tianqi hadn't moved, Xie Tu said, "Finish this quickly so you can get some rest. You two go to the kitchen; leave this place for Yun Zhao to clean up."
Zhou Tianqi had no objection.
He was, after all, a physically strong sentry; he couldn't very well make the guide wash dishes in the kitchen.
Jiang Mu turned around with his hands in his pockets, his gaze shifting between the two men.
Should it be given to Yun Zhao?
Jiang Mu knew perfectly well what was going on, but said casually, "Okay, leave the kitchen to us."
Anyway, Xiao Qizi knew what was going on and had already taken on the task of washing dishes.
As soon as the two of them went out.
Xie Tu grabbed a bag, put the dirty dishes inside, and prepared to take it to the kitchen; otherwise, making repeated trips would be too troublesome.
Yun Zhao came over to clear the dishes: "I'll do it."
She lost the bet; she should have a sense of sportsmanship.
Xie Tu continued working, his voice steady, "If you can't lift it, go pick up the bottles first and put them in the beer crate."
Yun Zhao had no choice but to get the bottles, holding an empty bottle in each hand, and started putting them into the box.
Xie Tu took the dirty dishes to the kitchen and handed them to Zhou Tianqi. He also brought a basin containing dish soap, some water, and two dishcloths.
He quickly wiped the table clean, put it away against the wall, and then took a broom from next door and started sweeping the floor.
After Yun Zhao finished picking up all the beer bottles, he turned around and fell silent.
It's such a waste that he got a blank card.
It would be so much better to give her an IOU, then she could slack off without feeling guilty.
Xie Tu worked quickly, cleaning up the messy floor in no time. Yun Zhao looked around, then went to get stools and stacked them against the wall.
Outside the window.
The white-haired beast and the black panther pressed themselves against the glass, howling and barking, trying to get Yun Zhao's attention.
Yun Zhao stood up and stopped what he was doing. He raised his hand slightly and released wisps of spiritual energy through the window cracks to play with them.
The fluorescent lights, like fireflies, flickered and danced in the rain. Two spirit beings looked up at them and jumped in to catch the swirling fluorescent lights.
Each time it catches those fluorescent lights, the spiritual threads seep into its body through contact, purifying the violent factors within.
The white-haired beast and the black panther wagged their tails contentedly, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
"Let's go, Little Bluebird is still waiting downstairs." Xie Tu saw that the cleaning was finished and stood by the door waiting for her.
Yun Zhao didn't move, but instantly saw through his intention. "You want to keep me here again?" Perhaps because he had been drinking, his voice was softer than usual at the end.
Xie Tu's gaze softened slightly, and he readily admitted, "The mountain road is difficult to travel on rainy days."
“But Jiang Mu and the others all drove back.” Yun Zhao pointed towards the kitchen.
Xie Tu bent down to pick up her umbrella and replied without batting an eye, "My driving skills aren't very good."
Yun Zhao's almond-shaped eyes widened. "...You're a bad driver???" He was blatantly lying.
"Sometimes good, sometimes bad."
Xie Tu stood sideways in the doorway, chuckling softly, "For example, tonight, I felt my driving skills weren't good."
Yun Zhao: "..."
They're getting more and more shameless.
"You might as well say you're afraid of the dark and afraid to sleep alone."
"Use this excuse next time."
Yun Zhao realized she couldn't win an argument with him, so she glared at him.
Xie Tu remained silent, turning to look at her with a smile in his eyes.
The little bluebird is still at his house, calling for him for a long time but not wanting to leave, and hasn't come up yet.
Having no other choice, Yun Zhao walked towards him.
She seemed to be getting more and more used to him being around all the time.
Xie Tu succeeded again. He turned around, turned off the lights in the training room, and opened the umbrella for her.
The white-haired beast and the black panther were still chasing each other and playing with the fluorescent lights in the rain.
The kitchen lights were on.
Jiang Mu stood leisurely at the door, glancing at the two people who came out of the training room.
Xie Tu held up an umbrella, tilted slightly, to shield the guide from the wind and rain, leaving half of his broad figure exposed to the rain.
The two walked along the eaves, but did not head towards the car.
Jiang Mu wanted to tease Xie Tu a bit, but he felt that if Xie Tu dared to say it, the price of dredging might go up again next time.
Ugh, so annoying.
When will the base enact an anti-monopoly law?
Or ask her to set a clear price list, instead of constantly threatening people with price increases.
Jiang Mu sighed and said, "Let's train together tomorrow."
He agreed to come to the Dawn Base not only because he wanted to see Bixi, but also because he thought the outpost was too remote and inconvenient for training.
The situation in the contaminated zone is constantly changing. With only one life, he can do whatever he wants, but he can't abandon his team members.
Xie Tu remained expressionless. "Five hundred a day for the venue."
Without saying a word, Jiang Mu turned around and slammed the kitchen door shut.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Giving money is out of the question.
Come directly tomorrow. Xie Tu can't possibly kick you out; we can always fight if necessary.
Yun Zhao watched this unfold, somewhat speechless. "Aren't you two childish?"
Xie Tu said to the kitchen door, "I get annoyed just looking at his face."
Yun Zhao: "When you went on joint missions together before, who listened to whom?"
Xie Tu: "Let's each do our own thing."
There was only one joint mission involving three S-class members.
For the first time, the large base collectively and proactively entered the four-star pollution zone.
The three disagreed, and since they were all S-rank, none of them could command the others, so they split up shortly after entering.
After being released, he was severely reprimanded by his superiors, and from then on, the base never again took the initiative to request an S-class alliance.
Yun Zhao: "...Wasn't the base afraid of being wiped out back then?"
There's nothing we can do about it.
Xie Tu said, "When the 'Salvation Plan' was first established, we had to win the first battle..."
Yun Zhao was stunned.
In the end, he didn't say anything.
The door to the metal hut across the street was tightly closed, with dim yellow light shining through the cracks.
Qi Ling went back after finishing his meal, seemingly in a hurry to debug his robot.
The rain obscured the moonlight, making the mountain paths dark and slippery.
Yun Zhao subconsciously reached behind her to touch the flashlight in her backpack, only to find that she hadn't brought a backpack.
Xie Tu took her hand and said lightly, "I forgot my backpack at your house."
Yun Zhao now felt that everything he did was intentional, so she focused on the road ahead and didn't respond.
The two walked into the valley.
The familiar courtyard, which had been empty for more than a month, was finally waiting for its owners to return.
I went inside.
The lights were on on the first floor, and the little bluebird was playing hide-and-seek with the fire phoenix.
But no matter where it hid, the fire phoenix could find it quickly, which made the little bluebird jump up and down cursing.
The fire phoenix quickly flew over and circled around the little bluebird in a fawning manner.
They were muttering to themselves, and it was unclear what they were saying.
The little bluebird chased away the fire phoenix.
The phoenix wasn't annoyed at all. Instead, it happily circled around the little bluebird, occasionally brushing it lightly with its tail feathers, which only made the little bluebird more agitated, chasing after it and pecking at it.
The more Yun Zhao observed the way the two spiritual beings interacted, the more he felt something was amiss.
Why don't you go in?
Xie Tu bent down and took her slippers out of the cabinet, interrupting her thoughts.
He watched the two spirit beings play around, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He was clearly in a very good mood.
The little bluebird beat up the fire phoenix and flew towards Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao reached out and caught it, then turned to ask, "Weren't you going to write a report?"
Xie Tu pointed to the stairs: "Go upstairs, change your clothes, and then write it."
Yun Zhao then noticed that half of his clothes were soaked by the rain. She pursed her lips and said, "Then you should go quickly, don't get sick."
"Okay." Xie Tu clearly enjoyed her concern, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
The man turned and went upstairs.
Yun Zhao changed into slippers, picked up the little bluebird, and sat down on the sofa, listening to the little guy complain to her.
Fire Phoenix came over and stood obediently in front of her.
The spirit form doesn't know how to hide its thoughts, and the Fire Phoenix's style of doing things has always been very straightforward.
But Yun Zhao couldn't take sides, so he comforted the little bluebird.
"Do you want to go back to the realm of the spirits?"
The little bluebird hadn't returned for many days, yet it could sense that something had changed inside.
It begins after the juvenile form of the original body appears.
