Traveling through Tomorrow's Ark: Starting with a Yama Sword

"Because I like you, Texas."

When Texas heard this, she was not surprised at all - she had known for a long time that Qiannian liked her. But now, she was not prepared.

There was no change in her eyes, but her cheeks gradually turned red - after all, no one had ever confessed to her like this before.

The past of the Lone Wolf flashed through Texas' mind like a revolving lantern, from Syracuse to Penguin Logistics, from grudges to old friends, Lapland, Exia, Sora, Croissant, Giovanna... a thousand years. Finally, her amber eyes softened, and she just whispered to the young man in front of her:

"Thank you."

Texas took a step forward, and this was the closest Shen Qi had ever been to her. Under the lights of the night market, she placed her slender hands on Shen Qi's back, gently resting her head on his shoulder, and gave him a deep hug.

Shen Qi also subconsciously reached out and gently hugged Texas to feel her body temperature - she was warmer than him, maybe he really didn't wear enough? But it didn't matter anymore.

"You, cried?"

When Shen Qi looked at Texas' face again, he found that her eyes seemed a little moist.

"No, it's just... too cold."

Texas shook his head and blinked, but the blush hadn't faded from his face yet, "It does get cold here at night."

Shen Qi just smiled and then asked:

"Thanks for acknowledging me, too, Texas."

"I didn't acknowledge you." Texas frowned, then returned to his usual calm demeanor, "I didn't say I'm your girlfriend now."

"this......"

"But you are a very good friend of mine."

Texas coughed twice and smiled again, "I will still cherish you. After all, a relationship of mutual trust like ours is rare."

"Thanks for your trust."

Shen Qi smiled with relief, and reached out to touch Texas's wolf ears.

"Tsk."

Texas quickly took a step away and returned to his cold gaze, "I didn't let you touch it."

She also demonstrated the action of chopping Shen Qi.

Shen Qi was also very sensible, and then the two of them walked back with the help of the light.

"Actually, if you can control your emotions, you're a very good person."

"Really? I'm also afraid that I'll lose control."

"Then I'll chop you up."

"what?"

"I told the truth."

"Haha, of course you are telling the truth."

------------

"I lost this game."

Lao Li slowly put down the chess piece in his hand, raised the cup and took a sip, "The game you set is really high, I can't break it."

"you flatter me."

Ling just smiled and said, "You ate a lot of my white pieces in the last game."

"That's just my good luck. It's my honor that you come here today to play a few games with me."

"No need."

Ling drank the last sip of wine, then stood up and prepared to say goodbye to Lao Li:

"It's getting late, I should go back and rest."

However, when she looked towards the door, Shen Qi and Texas just walked into the inn.

"You guys came back so late."

Lao Li shouted to Shen Qi.

"Uh, just went out for a walk."

Shen Qi said calmly, as if nothing had happened, and then he and Texas walked quickly upstairs.

But in reality, he was thinking:

"BYD, why are Lao Li and Ling here? I almost exploded."

"You seem scared of both of them."

Texas asked once the two of them went upstairs.

"I'm fine. I was a little nervous after all."

"Ah."

Texas sighed, waved at him and left, "You should get some rest too."

"Okay, good night."

Shen Qi nodded and prepared to walk to his room. When Texas heard this, he stopped for a moment, then turned around quietly and looked into his deep blue eyes:

"Goodnight, Millennium."
