Delta: Taming wheat in a dream, I, Said

(Thanks to Qin Xiaofeng from Yuan Kingdom for the four "Great God" certifications! The boss is so generous! Your extra chapters are being delivered as quickly as possible. (Although yesterday's extra chapters aren't finished yet...) (sad))

……

Zoya went to the lounge.

No one answered the door when she knocked, so Zoya pushed it open and went inside.

All that met her eyes was darkness. The girl pouted, thinking to herself, "Wheat is really something. She's awake, yet she doesn't even turn on the light."

In the darkness, she fumbled for the button, and with a click, warm light instantly enveloped the room.

Zoya immediately spotted Mai Xiaowen sitting on the bed, getting ready in front of the mirror; she appeared to be applying eyeliner.

"Wheat? You need to turn on the lights when you're doing your makeup. It's so dark here, it's not only bad for your eyes, but it also makes it hard to do your makeup properly."

Not noticing anything amiss, Zoya grumbled as she approached Mai Xiaowen and snatched the small brush from her hand.

He raised the brush, squinted one eye, and examined it, pondering how to begin.

Makeup is an essential skill for every girl. Soon, Zoya figured out the best way to do it. She smiled and gently patted Mai Xiaowen's eyelashes with a brush.

"Oh my, Xiaomai, you've finally figured it out and know how to dress yourself up properly now. I remember you used to refuse when I tried to draw your portrait."

That's a good thing! How can you fully unleash your charm without makeup?

As Zoya did her makeup, she kept praising Mai Xiaowen for how good her natural features were.

She leaned closer, carefully examining those beautiful, ruby-like eyes. "Hmm, Xiaomai, your eyes seem a bit redder, hehe, but they're even prettier now."

Let me think... Ah yes, it adds a touch of allure, a bit like a thorny beauty in a TV drama, the kind of rose with thorns.

Throughout the entire process, Mai Xiaowen did not struggle at all; on the contrary, she seemed to be enjoying it, her eyes crinkling as she smiled at Zoya.

"Why are you here?" Mai Xiaowen asked.

"Ugh, talking about this makes me angry." Zoya pouted. "It's all because that guy Koko said you weren't doing well and asked me to take care of you."

As she spoke, she had already finished drawing the eyeliner on her left eye. Compared to her right eye, the difference wasn't significant, but it was precisely this subtle makeup that showcased Mai Xiaowen's exceptional natural beauty.

Gently brushing aside the eyelashes on Mai Xiaowen's left eye, Zoya continued drawing eyeliner on Mai Xiaowen's right eye.

"You're perfectly fine, there's nothing wrong with you, Xiao Kangzi is just making a fuss over nothing."

However, this also shows that Xiaokangzi cares about you a lot.

Hmph, speaking of which, I'm the one who got you two together and we started playing duo queue. I'm the biggest contributor to your relationship with Xiao Kangzi.

From now on, I must have a separate table at all my wedding banquets!

Hearing Zoya say that Bai Kang cared about her, Mai Xiaowen's smile deepened, and her eyes seemed to sparkle with an orange light.

She said softly, "Yes, if it weren't for you, I might never have found him in my entire life."

"Hehe, a lifetime is too much of an exaggeration... Okay, it's finished." Zoya stood up, the brush twirling between her fingers. "Look, see how charming our beautiful Mai is."

As she spoke, she held up a mirror in front of Mai Xiaowen.

Mai Xiaowen looked in the mirror,

The mirror reflected a stunning beauty, her perfectly applied makeup adding a touch of alluring charm; there is probably no man in the world who could resist such beauty.

If there is one... it can only be him.

Even Mai Xiaowen herself was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously reached out and touched her face, and whispered, "No wonder, he lingered there, and found it so delicious."

Zoya didn't understand; she thought Mai Xiaowen was referring to "Xiao Kangzi" when she said "he".

She went around behind Mai Xiaowen, leaned closer, and another delicate face appeared in the mirror.

"Damn it, Wheat, how do you take care of your skin? It looks even better than mine!"

Zoya said angrily, staring at herself in the mirror for a while, then suddenly frowned.

"Hmm, it feels like something's missing?"

She pondered for a moment, then her eyes lit up, and she took out a thin piece of rouge from her makeup box.

"Here, open your mouth and sip it."

Mai Xiaowen obediently pursed the rouge paper on her lips. When she opened her mouth again, her red lips were stained vermilion, so moving and so charming.

"Hehe, as expected, rouge is the finishing touch to a woman's makeup. Lipstick is also good, but it always feels like it's missing something, not as natural."

As she spoke, Zoya looked at Mai Xiaowen in the mirror again and chuckled:

"Wheat, do you know what you look like right now?"

"What?" Mai Xiaowen asked, puzzled.

"You're like a ghost bride who isn't wearing a red wedding dress, breathtakingly beautiful. Let me tell you, if you went out now, Xiao Kangzi's eyes would probably be glued to you."

Mai Xiaowen lowered her eyes and murmured softly, "A ghost bride...a ghost bride searching for her lover..."

She suddenly felt that the term "ghost bride" perfectly described her current state. The ghost bride was going to find the groom, while she was going to find Bai Kang.

Thinking of this, her smile became even brighter and more captivating.

"Alright." Zoya put away the mirror and said with a grin, "I bet you can't wait to see Xiaokangzi, right?"

"You guessed right," Mai Xiaowen said with a smile.

"Hmph, I'm known as the Sherlock Holmes of Delta. Let me guess again, your meeting with Xiao Kangzi must be something big, something that can change the way you used to get along," Zoya said smugly.

Mai Xiaowen thought for a moment, then smiled even more broadly, "Mm."

"Hehe, let's hurry up and go. Let Xiao Kangzi see this makeup you specially made for him. He'll be so surprised and delighted! He'll be absolutely smitten with you."

With that, Zoya grabbed Mai Xiaowen's wrist and headed towards the operations center.

……

the other side.

Bai Kang is reporting on his experiences in subspace.

"Yes, it was the secretary at the space base who told me that Hafk's real purpose might be to recruit agents from the real world, which is why I rushed to the central control center with the Bee Doctor without delay."

Then the subsequent signal jamming confirmed the secretary's statement.

After that... the bee doctor and I searched the central control room for Mai Xiaowen and Zoya, who had lost contact. We eventually found Zoya's box on the central control balcony, and at the same time, I was sniped by the old woman.

After Bai Kang finished speaking, Yin Yi nodded slightly. Bai Kang's statement was similar to what the bee doctor had said, and he did not think that Bai Kang was lying.

"Hmm... You fell into a deep sleep after being resurrected from reality. Do you have any clues about this?"

Bai Kang shook his head. "I don't know. I woke up to find myself in the lounge."

Saeed is his biggest secret, and he can't tell anyone else.

Even though Mai Xiaowen had already recognized him, he didn't plan to reveal it. He was determined to make Mai Xiaowen keep it a secret no matter what.

Silverwing had only asked the question casually, and Bai Kang's answer was exactly what he expected.

boom!

The door was kicked open, and cheerful sounds came in from outside.

"Jiang Jiang! We're back."

Zoya led Mai Xiaowen into the operations center.

It shocked everyone.
