Through the busy city center, in the quiet neighborhood behind the hustle and bustle, in the shadow of this building, there is a secret research and investigation agency targeting people with super powers.

TOX is a frontier place for handling supernatural events, collecting supernatural samples, and exploring unknown forces.

However, at this moment, Yuying was standing outside the door with a guilty conscience, listening to the man chattering in the conference room.

Although I really want to go in, I don’t dare.

Since the members returned, Yuying was still a little nervous to play the role of "Wen Yuying" of TOX, but after a few days of getting along, she found that——

It's her fault.

She was familiar with everyone, and getting along with her colleagues was not too complicated, but it was not as smooth as she had imagined.

The reason is--

This was already her seventh time being late this month, and the boss had specifically reminded her yesterday that there would be new people coming to TOX today, so no one should be late.

Song Zhimian's sinister warning seemed to be on loop, constantly echoing in Yuying's mind.

"Wen Yuying, I am very kindly giving you a final ultimatum. If you are late once more this month!"

"Just pack up your things and get out of here the way you came here!!"

For some reason, she had an inexplicable "fear" of this so-called TOX boss.

Could it be the fear left by the original owner that was engraved into his bones?

Yuying took a deep breath and touched the door handle with her fingers. In order to make amends, she went to the most famous coffee shop (personal certification) to buy coffee and snacks to apologize to everyone and her new colleagues.

Looking down at the coffee and snacks in his hands, Yuying closed his eyes in pain and muttered to himself as he thought about his still bleak future as a corporate slave.

"My future is in your hands!"

With a nervous heart, I finally knocked on the office door.

As she expected, Song Zhimian's monotonous speech that had been the same for decades was interrupted by her, and then everyone gave her a murderous look.

The pair of eyes of No. 1 that seem to be about to spit out anger come from her boss, the captain of TOX - Song Zhimian, nicknamed the gold-studded diamond bachelor!

The superpower is disguise, which can disguise an identity for oneself and teammates in any space. Except for psychic superpowers, it is not restricted by the level of any superpowers.

This captain named Song Zhimian, although he was irritable and harsh towards her, he secretly cared about the members and himself in his heart, and he must be a gentle person at heart.

Song Zhimian himself also possesses strong analytical and leadership abilities, and is the youngest leader in the entire TOX Supernatural Department and even the Security Bureau.

The cold eyes of No. 2 come from the coldest colleague in TOX, Yan, who is also the No. 1 in superpowers in the entire security bureau. Every year, countless women want to join TOX for him and team leader Song Zhimian.

Although he is about the same age as her, his personality is like that of a boring old man. However, he is a powerful fire-type psychic and is one of the best in attack-type psychics. In addition to his extraordinary talent, he is the first member to join TOX after Song Zhimian succeeded as the captain of TOX.

Even though his origins were unknown, with such strength, he could still be ranked among the top in the entire Security Bureau.

The owner of No. 3's beautiful eyes is Ning Huaizhen, the only woman other than herself who was lucky enough to enter TOX.

He has no special abilities, but is Dr. Ge's last disciple and a technological genius. He was sent by Dr. Ge to assist TOX in carrying out tasks and to maintain the server so that it can operate normally without disturbance.

Dr. Ge... should be the person that Jin Qi mentioned who helped him a lot.

Her identity in TOX is a super support with S-level healing abilities, and currently no member knows of her hidden ability.

"Wen-Yu-Ying! Look at the time yourself! Why don't you come back next year!"

Hearing this, Yuying blurted out the words he had prepared long ago.

"I'm sorry, Boss. I know I've committed a serious sin, so I bought some food to come and ask for forgiveness!"

Song Zhimian roared with great momentum, and then glared at Yuying with an unhappy look on his face: "Okay, when did you learn to bribe?"

The big thing is bad!

Why doesn't he seem to be affected by this trick!

Yuying was speechless for a rare moment: "Uh... this..."

"Get back to your seat now!"

When I heard this, I knew I was okay.

Yuying breathed a sigh of relief and immediately rushed to his seat and sat down obediently.

During this time, she witnessed Ning Huaizhen's snickering and the contemptuous looks from Yan, a boss at a job like that.

In order to ease the awkward atmosphere caused by her lateness, Yu Ying spoke angrily.

"Has our new colleague not arrived yet? Well, luckily I got here before him."

Song Zhimian glanced at her from the first seat and said coldly, "From your tone, you seem to be quite relieved?"

Yuying looked sincere: "No, how could it be possible? I am deeply sorry and ashamed for my irresponsible behavior of being late."

Although she said no, Yuying felt in her heart that

Of course I’m thankful!

If she comes after the newcomer, she will lose if the boss doesn't deprive her of three months' salary today!

However, things don’t go as planned.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I just happened to arrive a few minutes before you."

A slightly hoarse but familiar voice sounded behind him, and Yuying turned around in confusion.

The face looked slightly red because of the smile, which made her heart beat faster. Her eyes could not help but burst into tears and her fists clenched tightly. The handsome face came into her sight.

It's actually...

"You brat!"

The bad memories from the morning made Yuying instantly remember the owner of this face——

After finally adapting to the rhythm of the future world, Yuying was able to secretly catch some fish for a few days when the members were away, and often went to work on time.

So, when the members came back...

In the morning, I was sprinting madly at the tram station with a big bag of snacks. During that time, I glanced at the time on my computer and it was already 8:20!

The normal working time is 8:30, and she is going to be late again!

Another day of work is about to begin. She tries to adjust her depressed mood, prepares to integrate into this new world where technology and machinery coexist, and strives to find new excitement in the unchanging life of a worker.

No wonder!

As she ran, she was thinking in confusion: It seems that a few bags of snacks are not enough to make up for her seventh lateness. She should go buy some coffee.

So, Yuying came to the coffee shop that she and Shiyuan often went to, carrying a big bag of snacks.

The coffee shop is filled with a unique aroma, a mixture of machinery, coffee beans and virtual information.

The coffee here is not the coffee ground from coffee beans in the 21st century, but artificial energy coffee. The taste is very different, but the effect is similar.

In front of the busy Starry Sky Coffee Shop, there is a holographic advertisement on the door, playing an animation promoting the new energy coffee.

As you open the door, the cool air and the aroma of coffee hit you in an instant.

After asking the AI ​​assistant in his brain-computer to help him order drinks, Yuying quickly ran to a relatively empty rest area.

Her hands were going numb.

I walked quickly towards the rest area, and because I walked too fast, I accidentally tripped over my right foot and everything in my hands fell out.

When the people in the coffee shop heard the commotion, they all turned around and focused their eyes precisely on Yuying.

Some people couldn't help laughing, while others looked at her in surprise, not knowing what was going on. The waiters continued to work calmly, as if they were accustomed to such scenes.

Although I feel extremely embarrassed, but——

Wen Yuying didn't seem embarrassed at all!

That way others wouldn't keep their eyes on her any longer, Yuying pretended to calmly pick up the snacks that had fallen on the ground.

She was very graceful at first, but when everyone's attention was no longer focused here, Yuying immediately bent down and picked it up.

The floors of the coffee shop are made of high-tech materials with a cool glow on the surface. They are not only wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, but also have self-cleaning functions, which can automatically remove debris and dirt. Their delicate textures have the aesthetic characteristics of future technology, which are both fashionable and can blend into the surrounding environment.

A pair of shiny black leather shoes came into Yuying's sight.

She looked up along the pair of shiny leather shoes, and saw her slender legs crossed one over the other, and then she looked up again -

He was wearing only a black suit on his upper body, which was simple and neat, giving people the feeling of a retro western gentleman. Under the suit was a black shirt of the same color, with a high collar, which just brought out his slender white neck.

Looking up, he did not disappoint with his even more outstanding face, with high brow bones, dark and deep pupils, slender eyes with slightly upturned tails. He has European three-dimensional facial features, but his outline is Asian with soft lines, giving people a sense of refinement and nobility. He looks like a polished jade, exuding an angular beauty.

For some reason, Yuying felt that this person looked vaguely familiar.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment. She forgot to pick up the things she had dropped. Their eyes met, and then -

The handsome guy frowned and looked at her with obvious disdain, then immediately lowered his head to look at the huge transparent screen floating in the air.

The transparent screen on the brain-computer interface is suspended in the air, like a misty cloud, with all kinds of real-time information and data flowing on it, which is dazzling. Only the owner of the brain-computer interface can unlock it and view the correct information.

It's quite high-profile.

Yuying awkwardly turned her gaze away, pretending that she was not the one who was infatuated with him just now.

"Hey--"

It seemed to be the voice of this handsome guy. Yuying quietly looked up at him.

The handsome guy was facing a transparent screen, not knowing who he was talking to on the phone, and he looked very impatient.

Perhaps her gaze was too direct, the handsome guy noticed it the next second and frowned, glanced at Yuying who was peeking, and then continued talking to the person opposite.

When Yuying's sneak peek was noticed, he immediately lowered his head.

The handsome guy's voice was very impatient: "I said I don't want to go, can you please stop calling me and bothering me?"

Did you have a fight with your girlfriend?

Such gossip is really something that makes people want to prick up their ears and eavesdrop.

"It's so annoying. I get it. I'll go over now."

The handsome guy waved his hand, neatly put away the transparent screen of the brain-computer, and prepared to stand up.

Yuying hurriedly tried to cover up the fact that she was eavesdropping, and just in time she noticed that the place where his feet were about to land was exactly where her snacks fell, and she yelled in panic.

"STOP!"

He yelled in desperation, and the entire cafe's lounge area fell silent again.

Yuying covered her face in embarrassment, and saw through her fingers that everyone's eyes were turned towards her. After a while, she slowly came back to her senses and went back to her own business.

She let out a breath.

Fortunately, fortunately, I didn’t make a fool of myself again.

Looking down, she saw the handsome guy's feet hanging above the snacks, and he was about to step on them. Fortunately, she stopped him in time with a yell, otherwise the bag of snacks would not have fulfilled its purpose.

"..."

Yuying smiled politely at the handsome boy, thanking him for going easy on her.

The handsome guy still had a blank expression on his face and responded to her sincere smile coldly.

Yuying was about to walk over when the handsome guy suddenly stood up and blocked her way.

Yuying, who almost bumped into his side arm, was blinded by the black of the shirt, which almost made her look cross-eyed.

The handsome guy didn't even turn his head, he just stretched out a finger and poked her on the forehead, then gently pushed her, immediately distanced himself from her, and flicked off the non-existent dust on his suit, looking like he was very disgusted.

Yuying looked at him blankly, not really understanding what his series of outrageous actions meant. Did he dislike her?

Just when Yuying was still in a trance, the handsome guy Youyou spoke.

"I say, auntie, it's not good for you to covet a handsome boy like me even though you are already old."

After saying that, he patted the side of his shoulder where Yuying almost hit him.

"...!?"

"Auntie?"

Yuying pointed at herself in disbelief, wondering if she had heard it wrong.

He calls himself aunt? ?

Just skip the title of "big sister" and call her "aunt"?

The handsome guy raised his eyebrows and spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Do you think there's anyone else here?"

"..."

Yuying was stunned, her mouth opened and closed, then opened and closed again.

She really couldn't believe that this arrogant and handsome guy in front of her, who called himself a handsome boy, could speak so offensively.

"Do you know that the most basic courtesy when interacting with women is not to call them "big sister" or something like that?"

She must have been blind just now to think that this guy had a noble temperament, like a Western gentleman, right?

Forget it, one more thing is worse than one less thing.

In order not to be misunderstood as a peeping person, Yuying shrugged helplessly and explained that she did not peek at him, but just noticed him unintentionally.

"I'm just curious……"

"Did you have an argument with someone? You seem very angry."

As soon as he finished speaking, the handsome guy showed a faint and unpredictable smile, and he actually recognized that Yuying was making excuses for his "voyeurism".

"First, I didn't call you sister, I said aunt."

"Second, I'm telling you explicitly that I will not tolerate your voyeuristic behavior just because you're old."

"?"

Yuying looked at him in an exaggerated and ridiculous way. She admitted that she thought he was good-looking at first, but she didn't want to drool over him or peek at him, right? !

She controlled her temper and tried to say something nice to the face in front of her that deserved a beating for the last time.

"Excuse me, where do you get the confidence to think that I am spying on you?"

"Also, does your education level make you think that aunt is more pleasing to the ear than elder sister?!"

There is no doubt that the words spoken by the owner of the slapping face still deserve a slap.

"Ever since you squatted at my feet, you have been looking up and peeking at me from time to time..."

"And always pay attention to what I say on the phone. I tolerate you because you are old."

As if he didn't notice Yuying's gradually distorted face, he continued: "I hope you don't take my tolerance as an excuse for me to allow you to peek further."

"Also, since you don't like me calling you auntie..."

"Okay, I'll change it."

He said defiantly, "Auntie."

Aunt?

Is Auntie much better than Auntie! ?

Yuying was so angry that she almost laughed. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

"You look well-dressed, but your education level really doesn't allow you to spit out ivory from a dog's mouth!"

The man looked calm and composed.

"Oh? Since you are so capable..."

"I'd like to spend a few of my precious minutes to watch you perform the ivory-spitting-out-of-a-dog show."

"you!!!"

"Miss, your five Americanos are ready."
