Hello, Arknights

"Croissant, have you seen Texas after completing the mission today?" After putting down his gun and stretching his arms, he casually asked about his partner's whereabouts.

"Sister Texas said she went to buy groceries and will cook for herself in the dormitory tonight." Croissant put down the account book and turned around.

"Then why don't you ask Bai Ge to come along? I haven't seen him all day. The flight attendant seemed to be a little interested in him. She even gave him an umbrella yesterday."

"I'm back." Rupert came back with two bags of food. There seemed to be a drizzle falling outside, so she shook her ears to get rid of the water droplets.

"Texas, should we call Bai Ge to join us? Otherwise it will seem like we don't care about him." Archangel Kneeled on one knee on the chair, holding the back of the chair and looked at Texas.

"Okay, I'll go. Exia, can you please bake an apple pie for me?" Rupert nodded and handed the ingredients to Croissant.

"Of course it's no problem! By the way, the ingredients for apple pie seem to be available only in the mall near Central Park? You went so far to buy groceries..."

Texas nodded: "I guessed you were going to invite him, so I made some preparations."

"You're worthy of being a Texas sister!" Croissant looked at the ingredients and found they were quite complete.

"I'll go then. Croissant, remember to remind Angelica to water her potted plant."

"Ok."

"I heard that too!" Angelic took the ingredients from Croissant angrily and started to prepare dinner.

Texas closed the door, looked at the streets outside which were gradually turning redder day by day, exhaled lightly, and walked towards the elevator.

When they reached the fourth floor, there was light coming through the windows along the corridor, just as Texas had expected.

She came to the door, hesitating.

Ling Dengxian completed his task today very early, but Mostima did not plan to go back so early. With Miss Liberi by her side, she naturally suggested that the three of them take a good stroll around the Central Park. Ling Dengxian could get familiar with the environment of Longmen, while Mostima could take a look at the changes.

Liberi was responsible for stopping her when she raised the idea of ​​going too far beyond the spectrum.

Ling Dengxian was indeed speechless. This Liberian girl really didn't intend to tell him her code name, and she refused to do so no matter what. When he looked at Mostima to ask, the latter could report a bunch of weird code names...

The three of them maintained a different kind of "lively" and looked at furniture, visited the Longmen Times Building - which houses many artworks and is Longmen's museum, and went to a restaurant to eat together. Just a simple look at Longmen made Ling Dengxian feel relaxed. For him, the strangeness of coming to Longmen finally disappeared for the most part during today's tour. From time to time, he could still see many scenes that reminded him of his hometown -

"Isn't this Miss Huai? Didn't the school have a long holiday? Where are you going with your schoolbag?"

"Ah, Auntie, I have signed up for a training course, and I still can't fall behind in my extension studies. I haven't mastered Victorian yet... Time is almost up, Auntie, I'm leaving first!"

Ling Dengxian felt very familiar as he watched the figure of the film girl hurriedly leaving... He had also attended English cram school for a period of time, but that was when he was in elementary school. Her hurried look reminded him of the time when he was on the road. Thinking about the present, he couldn't help feeling that things had changed and people had changed.

"Fortunately, I can speak Victorian quite well now... Uh, why are you looking at me like that, that... one-armed——"

"Shut up, please." The girl's eyes twitched, and she suppressed the urge to hit Mastema and moved closer to him:

"What do you...think of Mastema?"

"Benefactor." Ling answered immediately.

"After knowing that she once pointed her gun at her own people, wouldn't you be afraid of her past?"

Mostima went to the bathroom, and Ling Dengxian knew that the other party had chosen this opportunity on purpose.

"Miss, you shouldn't ask me this question, or are you testing me?" Ling Dengxian smiled slightly. Nonsense, they have known each other for a longer time, how could she not know?

Or was it that I was being tempted?

"No, I just hope you can understand that if you stay by her side, you have to be prepared. She is not an ordinary girl." Liberi's expression was very serious, and his fiery red eyes stared straight at him, not allowing him to dodge.

"...You also use a gun?" Ling Dengxian looked at the weapon on her waist.

"No, this is a crossbow."

"Anyway, you can aim at the target, right? Just put the crosshairs on my head. I'm happy as long as you don't shoot randomly." Ling Dengxian picked up the scabbard at his waist and gently placed it between the two of them. "You were there at that time, right?"

The girl remained silent.

"Then you should understand how much Mostima has taken care of me, with her sunshine, smiles, and tenderness. I will not harm her." Ling Dengxian raised the sword and tapped the ground lightly.

Then the two remained silent until Mastema returned.

Ling Dengxian didn't know what Li Boli was thinking, he only knew that he just seemed...

I feel a little embarrassed... Ling Dengxian covered his face and smiled quietly when the two of them were not paying attention.

Then it’s time to go back to the dormitory and prepare dinner in the evening.

That is to say, when Texas stood outside their door, they had just started cooking. To be precise, Ling Dengxian had only started cooking for a short time.

Chi Yu was no longer so angry about being thrown into the house again. She could look through the refrigerator herself anyway.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

"Here I come..." The amber eyes and the lake-like eyes met each other, and Mastema smiled: "Miss Texas?"

"You're back?" Girl Rupert nodded to indicate that she knew who the other person was.

"Sorry, but please don't tell Xiaole...Archangel." Mostima gave another apologetic smile.

"We have to meet each other, right?"

"I will, just not now."

"You brought him today?"

"Ah."

"I'm here to invite him to have dinner with us. It was Angel of Power who suggested it."

"Okay, he should be down soon." Mostima immediately understood their good intentions.

"Thank you." Rupert left without delay.

"Who's here? Angel Exia or Texas?" Ling Dengxian took a break from his busy schedule and peeked out from the kitchen to ask.

"Archangel." Mastema smiled.

"Texas looking for me?" Ling Dengxian rolled his eyes.

"That's right, it was Angel of Power who asked you to have a meal together, and Texas just passed on the message."

"What about me?" Ling Dengxian was a little embarrassed. The ingredients were already in the pot, but it seemed not good not to go.

"You can go down later. We still have time in the evening. It's just that you can't eat the meal you cooked yourself." Mostima spread his hands.

"That's nothing. I'll be going downstairs in a moment. Excuse me." Ling Dengxian didn't feel he was at a disadvantage. He would just eat the ready-made food when he went downstairs, so it wouldn't be hard.

"You must get along well with the Archangel."

After Ling and Deng Xian left, the supervisor looked at Sakota and asked, "Did you find out too?"

"It seems that the only person she wants to hide this from is Ling Dengxian. It's quite strange."

"Why is she following us today? Or rather, following him?"
