Chapter 79: Under the Same Night Sky

~7 min read 1,350 words

Qiao Suisui was stunned, not expecting him to talk to her, after all, she had taken the initiative to talk to him twice before and he hadn't ignored her. At this time, she moved slowly, looked around the environment, it was very clean and bright, there was a room facing south, and it was connected to a terrace. If it was tidied up well, it would be very sentimental, and she could sit on the terrace to bask in the sun and drink tea, and raise some plants.

Anubis stood aside and waited for her to finish observing the environment, seeing that she liked the room with the terrace but didn't express it.

"You choose first, I'm fine with anything." Qiao Suisui stood aside somewhat distantly and said politely.

Anubis didn't speak, and went directly into another room. The space was about the same size, but there was no terrace, and the sunlight wasn't very sufficient.

Qiao Suisui was somewhat surprised. She tilted her head, wondering if Anubis had intentionally left the good room for her.

She followed him, walked to his door, and didn't get any closer.

"That... are you sure you want this room? It's next to the corridor, it will be noisy."

Anubis said "Hmm," threw his bag on the chair, and took off his top, revealing his strong waist.

Qiao Suisui forgot to react to this sudden move, and saw his back full of power unexpectedly. The teenager's back muscle lines were smooth, with a narrow waist and broad back, and there were two sexy dimples near the belt. The two flower arms were tattooed with patterns and words she couldn't understand.

"Anything else?" Anubis turned his head to see her still standing there, walked to the door, and looked down at her. "You want this one?"

"No, no... I..." Qiao Suisui forgot what she was going to say.

This won't do, it's only the first day, she can't act like a girl!

She cleared her throat, pretended to be calm and said: "Thanks, brother." Then she raised her hand, patted Anubis's shoulder stiffly and flusteredly, and because she wasn't tall enough, she secretly stood on tiptoe.

Anubis looked at his shoulder suspiciously, then looked at her walking quickly back to the room and closing the door. The whole process was very smooth and done in one go, giving people a feeling of panic and running away. He shook his head and smiled lightly, then thought of something, and his smile gradually disappeared. He restrained his expression, stared at the closed door, his eyes complex.

Behind the door, Qiao Suisui covered her heart and breathed a long sigh of relief, not knowing what she was thinking, and then she shook her head violently and patted her cheeks.

"Qiao Suisui, wake up, the better-looking the mushroom, the more poisonous it is." She warned herself.

In the evening, she tidied up her daily necessities, had video calls with Luka and Laiboli respectively, and replied to Zongfang's message.

Zongfang told Qiao Suisui everything about what he was going to deal with in Sote and when he would finish it, and finally asked her to wear the ring every day and every moment, because he could see her physical condition in real-time from his side. Qiao Suisui knew that although he didn't say it, he was actually very worried about her condition during pregnancy.

After reporting safety, she was about to exit, but saw eleven missed calls, all from a domain name with garbled characters. She was a little confused, and dialed back without panic.

"Hello, who are you?"

The opposite side was silent for a moment, and then a sound came: "Fuck."

Qiao Suisui was a little inexplicable, just wanted to hang up, and heard the man's voice again: "Who are you, where is she?"

Qiao Suisui blinked, looking at the audio wave on the light-brain, and asked: "Ka'er?"

She hadn't lifted the effect of the voice-changing pill at this time. Luka and the others had heard it, but Ka'er didn't know, so he thought someone else had taken her light-brain to answer. Qiao Suisui explained briefly.

"Is there a bomb on your light-brain, will it explode if you answer?"

At this time, not answering the audio, and answering it as a man, and a voice he hadn't heard before, it was hard for Ka'er not to think in other directions. Just now, he almost wanted to rush in and beat someone.

"I've been busy just now."

The man's voice became pleasant, "You remember my voice?"

"I didn't recognize it, I guessed."

"Guessed it was me in one guess?"

"Because you are the only one I know who speaks so offensively."

"..."

There was silence on the other side, followed by a sigh.

"Still angry with me?"

"Hmm? What are you referring to?"

Qiao Suisui didn't keep up with his train of thought. After asking, she remembered that he was referring to what he said in the space. She just wanted to say that she didn't remember it, but heard the voice on the opposite side suddenly become dull: "You'd better be angry with me." It was better than forgetting him completely.

"Do you have anything to do?"

Hearing her somewhat distant tone, Ka'er felt like he had eaten a basket of unripe apricots, the sourness spreading to his heart, and then flowing into his stomach.

She hadn't visited him once while he was injured, and hadn't asked a single word. These were all fine, who let him have a bad mouth, he knew he deserved it. But she left without a sound, without saying hello, and even the three interstellar cleaners who moved in after him knew where she was going. The whole building only he didn't know, and there was a robot that looked like a trash can following behind him every day.

"I want to complain."

"Complain about what?"

"The pillow in my room is uncomfortable."

Qiao Suisui was speechless, "You find 6867."

"I also want to complain about 6867, it doesn't understand human language."

"Then change to another room for you?"

"No."

"Then how do you want to deal with it?"

"Let me see you."

Qiao Suisui felt that this dog man was really unreasonable. She endured her temper and said: "I can't go back now, weekend."

"Qiao Suisui."

The audio wave on the light-brain stopped, and the man on the opposite side paused for a few seconds.

Ka'er looked up, held the light-brain to his mouth, his voice low and slow, with a trace of imperceptible gentleness and caution: "Go to the window."

Qiao Suisui didn't know why, but wanted to end this call as soon as possible, so she did as she was told. She walked to the terrace barefoot.

"Is it okay?"

"Hello?"

"Ka'er?"

Qiao Suisui looked at the light-brain on her wrist, showing that it was still in a call,

"Today's energy replenishment is complete, you can go in now." The man's voice was very low, devoid of his usual cynicism, and held a tenderness born of restraint.

"Don't kick 6867, and don't be fierce to it either. I'll resolve the room issue for you when I get back."

"As you command, little boss."

After hanging up, Qiao Suisui muttered "psycho" at her light-brain, and quickly threw this inexplicable call to the back of her mind. She stretched her body out fully on the balcony; by now, the sky was pitch black. She rested her arms on the railing and looked at the stars in the night sky. Suddenly, a shooting star streaked across, and she hurriedly clasped her hands together and closed her eyes to make a wish. The moment she thought of her new life, a heartfelt smile appeared on her face.

Downstairs from the apartment, Ka'er sat on a stone bench in the flower bed, his two long legs sprawled out lazily, his figure blending into the night. He looked up with a cigarette in his mouth, and seeing that figure return to her room, the longing that had just been eased surged back into his heart instantly.
