Xingtie, my life is like walking on thin ice

The dishes were served quickly and the two of them ate while chatting.

Eating is not a necessity for them, so the two of them mostly chat.

When she met Zhuqing, Liuying opened up completely and shared with Zhuqing everything she saw and heard.

The meal lasted until the restaurant closed.

"Huh... I just went through a big battle, and after just going through a few systems, I suddenly relaxed. It always feels a little unreal..."

The girl stood with her hands behind her back, looking at the lights in the distance. The lights were reflected in her watery eyes, very dazzling.

"To put it in gaming terms, this is the invitational quest after the boss battle, allowing players to relax their tense nerves after the boss battle."

Liuying laughed after listening to Zhuqing's explanation.

"Silver Wolf said something similar to me, and it was quite vivid. And I did relax a lot."

She felt herself go limp.

"What are your plans after tomorrow's doctor's appointment?"

"Hmm... I haven't chosen any gifts for Kafka and Silver Wolf yet. If possible, could you come with me to pick them out?"

If she remembered correctly, Zhu Qing had always had good taste.

"it is good."

Zhu Qing agreed. After all, he was just accompanying the girl around, and it didn't make much difference to him where they went or what they did.

Liuying had no place to live in the fairy boat, and most places here were not convenient for activating Sam. As half a host, he naturally could not let the girl find a place to live on her own after the tour.

He took the girl back to his residence.

"The first floor is the guest room, but no one has lived there for a long time, so the things should still be pretty new."

"Well, thank you."

The girl thanked him while looking around Zhuqing's house.

“Although I don’t think I can use it much…”

It had been long enough since she had been out, and in order to have the strength to stand up tomorrow, she had to get into Sam.

"If you want to activate Sam, you can do it in the living room. It's spacious enough, and the rooftop terrace is nice too. It's a pity that the starry sky in Luofu isn't real."

As long as you enter the fairy boat, you will be in the cave of the fairy boat, and the starry sky is not real.

"Do you see anything?"

Seeing the girl looking at his room curiously, Zhu Qing leaned against the wall and teased with a smile.

“Just as I imagined, simple and clean.”

The girl also smiled.

"Because I don't live here all the time, I hire someone to clean most of the time."

If a house has not been occupied for a long time, there will always be some dust. Every time Zhu Qing comes back and doesn't want to clean it himself, he will ask someone to help clean it in advance.

It was introduced by Minghuo Merchant Group and is very reliable.

"It's more like a place to live than a home. You get used to it after living there for a long time."

"Hearing what you said, I feel like there's something missing here?"

"Feeling of home?"

"Well... I don't know what home feels like, but I just have this feeling like something is missing."

“When you’re alone in a foreign country, it’s hard to feel a sense of belonging to a place.”

Listening to Zhuqing's voice, Liuying lifted her feet and walked around the living room.

"Not to mention that I only stay here for a few months out of the year. I can only say that I'm more used to it here."

The planet that gave him a sense of belonging is gone.

"I rarely get to stay in the room Kafka prepared for me. Every time it's late at night and everyone is asleep, I always feel a little stuffy in the room and want to go out and take a look."

Firefly stopped in front of the decorative bookshelf.

"I sleep a short amount of time, so I often spend the whole night looking at the starry sky and the spaceships coming and going."

"Over time, I also like that feeling. Is this considered a habit?"

Zhu Qing smiled and said nothing.

Of course it does. Although it is a question, the girl already has the answer in her heart.

“Is this Miss Mockingbird’s album?”

Hearing the sound, Zhu Qing looked over.

"That seems like quite a few. Are you also a fan of Miss Mockingbird?"

There was something joyful in Firefly's voice; it was obvious that she also liked the robin's song.

"That's it."

Although he was forced to admit it.

"That's great. By the time I knew Miss Mockingbird had released a new song, the album launch was already over."

If she didn't ask Kafka for help, she would never have been able to get an authentic vinyl record like this.

"Next time there's a chance, I'll give you one?"

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble? This should be hard to grab, right?"

"It's okay, I have a way."

He asked the bird directly for it.

"Thank you~"

She always trusted Zhu Qing's words.

"Which song do you like?"

"Hmm... I've also been listening to 'Free a Heart from Sorrow' and the latest song 'Swaying Alone in the Milky Way'."

"Wait...you can't get them all, right?"

Liuying blinked her eyes, and she suddenly became curious about what Zhuqing's method was.

You know, albums like this have always had a small sales volume, and since they are all purchased by fans, they are almost never sold again.

It's hard to get even at a high price.

"That's not the case. I can only ask for you."

He can't possibly steal Xiaoniao's collection just to give it as a gift, right?

"Don't worry about it. Since I received your cloak, I haven't given you a decent gift in return. This is my return gift."

Liuying wanted to scratch her head, but that would make her look stupid, so she held back.

She remembered that she had given the cloak to Zhuqing as compensation for a new one, so how could it be considered a gift?

Zhu Qing said it was a return gift. If it were an ordinary person, she would definitely refuse it. But when it came to Zhu Qing, the girl had some selfish motives of her own.

She didn't want to refuse.

After a while, Liuying knocked her head in annoyance.

"I seem to have... caused you trouble again."

......

Chapter 87: Close Friend

The next day.

Danding Division.

Zhu Qing was verifying his identity with the Yunqi Army on guard. If it was only Zhu Qing himself, Dandingsi could come and go freely, but now he was followed by an unidentified person. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhu Qing still went to Jingyuan to tell him.

Friends are friends, but some unnecessary troubles should be avoided as much as possible.

As for Liuying's identity, Jingyuan is not worried because Zhuqing is her guarantor.

After a minute or two, Zhu Qing came back.

The girl was wearing a cloak at this time. Her cloak was different in style from Zhuqing's. Zhuqing had a bamboo hat, so there was no hood on her cloak, while the girl's cloak could cover her entire body. After pulling down the hood, from Zhuqing's angle, he could only see her chin at most.

"Okay, let's go in."

Zhuqing reached out and took the wooden box from Liuying's hand.

Those are the snacks I bought for Bailu Dragon Girl.

Liuying responded and followed Zhuqing's footsteps.

"Why do I feel like those Cloud Cavalrymen are all looking over here?"

"In broad daylight, she covered herself up completely with a cloak. Not to mention the Cloud Cavalry, even ordinary people would be unable to resist taking a look."

Zhu Qing shook his head helplessly.

"..."

"Is it that obvious?"

Liuying's expression was a little confused. "I remember you were dressed like this before, and it seemed fine."

He wore a conical hat and a cloak, and had an expression that said "keep away from strangers". He seemed particularly difficult to get along with.

"Because the universe is so vast, as long as all kinds of dressing styles don't affect others, most people will consider them normal."

"It's just that Luofu has just experienced a crisis of trust. Not to mention just wearing a cloak, even those civilizations that traditionally cover their entire body will inevitably be inspected more frequently than others when they arrive in Luofu."

"..."

"So I'm...causing trouble for others again?"

The girl looked a little lost. The reason why she wore this outfit was actually the same as Zhu Qing's.

She just thought it was cool.

"That's not the case. We've already reported it in advance. As long as you don't drive Sam in, you'll just get some curious looks at most."

Zhu Qing explained with a smile.

As for why he is so skilled?

Because when he wore a cloak before, he was often affected by this kind of thing.

"But then again, why are you wearing a cloak?"

"This cloak is actually yours. When I took it to order a new one, the store owner said it wasn't damaged in the main places and it would be a shame to throw it away. So they discussed with me about altering it. I was originally planning to send it to you, but Kafka said that wouldn't be a good idea, so I kept it for myself."

Liuying explained while lifting the corner of her clothes, revealing what was underneath her cloak.

Perhaps it was because I felt that Zhu Qing didn't like ostentatious styles at the time, so whether it was the one given to me or the one I kept, the cloaks only had the simplest decorations, and they were all on the inside, so you could only see them when running on weekdays.

"You see, this design was my idea at the time."

The originally damaged part was glued together, and in order to cover the traces of gluing, a green bamboo was printed on it.

It's quite thoughtful.

"How is it? It's pretty good, isn't it?"

She had been thinking about this design for a long time, but unfortunately she didn't give it away in the end.

"It's really good."

Zhu Qing smiled. Although he had such a nickname, there was no bamboo element in him. The girl had just gotten to know the world at that time, and it was really good that she could think of this.

A golden light flashed in Zhu Qing's hand, and a cloak fell into his hand.
