Delta: Taming wheat in a dream, I, Said

End of the meeting.

Bai Kang felt physically and mentally exhausted and planned to go back to his accommodation for a good night's sleep.

He slapped his cheeks lightly, making a slapping sound; the slight pain brought him back to his senses.

"Xiaomai, I'm going back to rest now." He glanced at Mai Xiaowen, feeling a chill in his heart.

Mai Xiaowen's eyes turned cold, and she was about to stay and stop Bai Kang.

However, at this moment, Silverwing said, "By the way, Mai Xiaowen, I'll have to trouble you to stay for a while. I need you to describe the matter of the two worlds in detail again."

Mai Xiaowen frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed, glancing at Bai Kang without leaving a trace.

Thinking to myself, it won't make a difference if I let the bullets fly a little longer.

She nodded. "Okay."

Therefore, Bai Kang escaped unharmed, and Mai Xiaowen witnessed Bai Kang's departure.

Zoya thought for a moment and said, "Then I won't wait for you, Xiaomai. I'll contact you via WeChat later."

He then followed Bai Kang.

Seeing this, Hayate seemed thoughtful and said to Luna, "I'll go back to the dorm later."

Luna remained expressionless. "Why are you telling me this?"

"Hehe, I'm letting you know."

After saying that, Jifeng followed in a flash.

……

Pushing open the door, a cool autumn night breeze rushes in.

Bai Kang's tense body finally relaxed, and he opened his arms, feeling the healing power of nature.

"That's great, another day of survival," Bai Kang remarked.

During his interaction with Mai Xiaowen, he felt as if he were standing on the edge of a cliff, with the constant threat of falling into the abyss.

"What's going on? Is this some kind of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) episode?"

Zoya, like an elf, cleverly popped out from behind him, tiptoed, and gently patted Bai Kang's shoulder.

"Young Miss, how come you walk so silently, like a ghost?"

Bai Kang rolled his eyes; he almost thought Xiaomai had come after him.

"How dare you talk like that?" Zoya snorted, raising her little fist. "Are you asking for it?"

"In our line of work, isn't walking silently a basic skill?"

Bai Kang thought for a moment and then laughed out loud.

That makes sense. In reality, most operators spend the majority of their time walking silently in dungeons, and over time, this habit naturally carries over into real life.

It's impossible to be completely silent in a dungeon, but it's possible in reality.

"What's wrong, Miss? Why did you run out to find me instead of waiting for Xiaomai?" Bai Kang said with a smile.

He was on tenterhooks when talking to Mai Xiaowen, but he had no such worries when talking to Zoya.

After all, he didn't do anything indescribable to Zoya.

"What do you mean? You're making it sound like I'm some kind of lackey of Wheat." Zoya crossed her arms, her face full of displeasure.

"Uh, isn't that right?"

Bai Kang thought for a moment. Usually, when Xiaomai appeared, Zoya would naturally be by her side, whether in the Delta or in reality.

They seem no different from his lackeys.

"Bai! Kang!" Zoya gritted her teeth. "I'm angry!"

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong." Bai Kang quickly calmed down Zoya, who was about to explode.

"Hmph." Zoya rolled her eyes several times, then suddenly said, "Also, you're not allowed to call me 'Young Miss' anymore, it makes me seem like some kind of high and mighty person."

"Huh?" Bai Kang was taken aback. For the past two months, he had always called Zoya "Miss".

They were fine before, why are they unhappy now?

"What? You don't want to?" Zoya stretched out her devilish claws and was about to pull Bai Kang's face.

Just as Bai Kang was about to dodge, he was grabbed by the demon's hand, and Zoya pulled him frantically, like pulling dough.

"Um... okay... then what should I call you..." Bai Kang said indistinctly.

Upon hearing this, Zoya stopped what she was doing and began to think.

"Gu?" Bai Kang suggested.

"No way! We're not strangers. What's with calling me by my code name?" Zoya flatly refused.

"Zoya?"

"No, it sounds like we have a very ordinary relationship."

Bai Kang thought to himself, "We're just friends, what, are we some kind of intimate relationship like friends with benefits?"

However, he dared not say that, otherwise Zoya would probably jump on his head and bite him.

He spread his hands, "This won't work, that won't work, then you come up with one."

Upon hearing this, Zoya also became conflicted.

In an instant, many names flashed through her mind.

Darling, baby, wife... and a whole host of other terms of endearment.

But... she rejected all these intimate terms of address.

There's no other reason than that calling her "Xiaomai" is the normal way to address her, so what's with calling her "she"? People can't... or at least shouldn't.

Zoya suddenly felt troubled. She and Bai Kang were like brothers, so the ambiguous nickname was no longer appropriate.

At this point, I couldn't find a good way to address them.

The more I think about it, the more depressed and angry I get.

Finally, Zoya stomped her foot and said angrily, "I don't care, if you don't call me by a name that satisfies me, you're dead!"

Hearing this, Bai Kang was completely dumbfounded. All she asked was for her to think of a form of address, right? How did she end up getting so angry? What kind of address did she come up with?

He twitched his lips, fell into contemplation, and after a long while, cautiously asked, "Xiaoya?"

Zoya blinked, feeling a jolt of electricity run through her body, followed by a strange sensation.

The name "Xiaoya" is neither ambiguous nor unfamiliar.

It sounds very pleasant.

The key is,

Bai Kang calls Mai Xiaowen "Xiaomai" (Little Wheat) and himself "Xiaoya" (Little Ya). The two names are very similar, and neither is more ambiguous than the other.

She was quite satisfied, but her haughty demeanor prevented her from being completely candid. She hummed twice and said haughtily:

"Well, it'll do, you're such an idiot, racking your brains to come up with a name that barely satisfies me."

However, Bai Kang could tell at a glance that Zoya was very satisfied with the title. Come on, Zoya practically had "I'm very satisfied" written all over her face.

He muttered to himself: Please, being arrogant is outdated.

"Then, Xiaoya?" He called out after thinking for a moment.

Zoya blinked. "Yes, I'm here."

It's strange, why do I feel so happy when Xiao Kangzi calls out to Xiao Ya?

"Xiaoya?"

"Yes, I'm here."

"Xiaoya?"

"exist."

"Xiaoya?"

"Um, I'm here... What are you doing!"

Bai Kang seemed to have found a switch, discovering that every time he called out to Xiao Ya, Zuo Ya would show a blissful expression. This feeling was just... amazing!

So he shouted it several times in a row.

Zoya responded to every call, growing increasingly excited, until she realized something was wrong.

"Bai Kang! Are you kidding me?!" she said with a stern face, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

Oh no... I've gone too far.

Bai Kang felt a sense of foreboding and tried to escape, but it was too late, because Zoya had already pounced on him, grabbed his arm, and bit him hard!

"what!"

Bai Kang let out a scream.
