Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

Xia Jiumeng looked at the big dark-style house and couldn't help but sigh, "What a rich man! It's much better than my little apartment."

Her small apartment is not even one-tenth the size of this living room.

Tsk, those evil capitalists.

After stretching, I leaned on the sofa for a while and called Xue Ming [Xia Jiumeng: Are you there?]

[Xue Ming: What are your instructions?]

[Xia Jiumeng: If it's convenient, could you please come to my apartment and bring my cat over?]

Xue Ming: Cat? Okay, no problem.

Xue Ming looked at his phone and muttered to Xue Ying, "When did she get a cat?"

Xue Ying rolled her eyes and said, "Why do you care so much? The boss told us to listen to her and get it if she tells us to."

"Let's go."

"Tsk, it's not making me curious anymore."

Xia Jiumeng looked at Mephistopheles on the clock not far away, thought for a while and walked closer to it.

Mephistopheles felt a chill on his back for no reason and looked at the approaching Xia Jiumeng with vigilance.

She stretched out her hand and was about to fly away when she was caught.

No one knew what she had touched, but the crow that had been jumping around just a moment ago suddenly became motionless, like a dull doll, allowing her to manipulate it.

"Gah!"

Ignoring its struggle, Xia Jiumeng grabbed it and returned to the sofa to start studying it.

"The cyborg-modified crow has pretty good emotional simulation, but I wonder if it can develop self-awareness."

"Qin Che likes this crow so much, why not give him a surprise?"

"But mechanical life is very difficult to create, and I don't know if the corresponding materials can be found in this world."

"Anyway, it's impossible with current technology. Let's talk about it later."

She released her grip after returning the crow to its original position.

"Ga! Ga!" Mephistopheles shouted angrily and flew away, fearing that he would be caught by her again.

Xia Jiumeng didn't care. She pulled the thin blanket on the sofa, found a comfortable position and fell asleep.

"Click."

The sound of turning the door lock was heard, and when Qin Che took off his coat, he saw a figure curled up on the sofa.

"What a lazy cat." Can fall asleep anywhere.

He took a few steps forward, gently picked the person up and put him on the bed in the bedroom.

Smelling the familiar scent, Xia Jiumeng rubbed her lips and turned over, sleeping even more soundly.

Qin Che curled his lips and tucked the corner of the quilt for her, but when he stood up, the corner of his shirt was pulled. He looked down and saw that the sleeping person was tightly grasping the corner of his clothes with one hand.

"Dishonest cat's paw."

But he didn't pull back the corner of his clothes, but moved himself a little further in so that he could sit on the head of the bed.

Mephistopheles saw his master coming back and flew over, but before he could even utter a word, he was thrown out of the window by Qin Che.

Mephistopheles: ???

He was so angry that he slammed the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window frantically, but unfortunately the material of the glass was so special that there was no sound at all.

Qin Che completely ignored Mephistopheles' accusations outside the window and turned off the bedroom light, leaving only the reading light on the bedside table. He quietly flipped through a book he had brought with Evol.

The sky gradually brightened, and the warm sunlight shone sparsely onto the bed through the curtains.

The faint smell of food woke Xia Jiumeng up.

"It smells good."

She followed the smell to the kitchen and couldn't help drooling at the delicious food presented exquisitely and temptingly.

"Stop drooling, go wash up and then come back to eat." Qin Che came out of the kitchen carrying the food.

"There's no saliva at all, that's nonsense." Xia Jiumeng subconsciously touched the corner of her mouth and realized that she had been deceived by him.

Qin Che smiled and didn't respond.

After washing up, she sat in the restaurant waiting for dinner to be served.

On the table was shredded chicken and vegetable porridge, a golden but not greasy fried egg, and a bowl of delicious chicken soup.

At first glance, I thought it was a delicious breakfast made by a chef.

In fact, this was done by Qin Che, the boss of the dark spot.

Who can get the arrogant and overbearing Dark Spot Boss to work for her?

Oh~ It's her~

Haha!

Qin Che was holding the last small vegetable and looking at the dazed Xia Jiumeng. He couldn't help but touch her forehead with his free hand.

"Why aren't you eating yet? What are you waiting for?"

"Well, I'll wait for you." Xia Jiumeng touched her forehead. Qin Che's force was very light. It didn't hurt but felt a little itchy.

"Well, eat it."

After dinner, Qin Che looked at Xia Jiumeng's inquiring eyes and knew what she wanted to ask, and raised his chin.

"Your cat is over there."

Xia Jiumeng followed his gaze and saw Xiaoqi sleeping soundly in the cat bed in the corner.

"Your cat has as sharp teeth and claws as you do."

Qin Che still remembered how miserable the two Xue brothers looked when they brought the cat back this morning.

The white cat stood on Xue Ming's head in a domineering manner, while Xue Ming and Xue Ying's masks and clothes were covered with scratches, and they looked angry but dared not speak.

It was obvious that he had fought a big battle with the cat and was the loser.

"How to say?"

"Xue Ming and Xue Ying were tormented badly by it." Qin Che betrayed his younger brothers without hesitation and told her about their miserable appearance.

"puff."

"Xiao Qi might be a little shy."

Xia Jiumeng sneered and hugged Xiaoqi who was walking towards her and said.

"It's called Xiaoqi? What a unique name."

Qin Che felt itchy as he watched Xia Jiumeng petting the cat.

"Qin Che, I've thought about the compensation I want."

"Can you cash it now?"

Xia Jiumeng looked at him, stroking Xiaoqi's back from time to time with her hand.

When Xiao Qi approached her, they had already communicated with each other consciously.

She wanted to make potions, and Xiao Qi had already sorted out all the equipment she could use in this world.

"Now?"

"can."

Qin Che was a little surprised. He thought she needed to think about it for a while.

"I need a link analyzer and a fully equipped pharmaceutical laboratory..." Xia Jiumeng listed a long list of equipment names.

As she spoke, Qin Che's originally distracted look gradually changed. He suddenly approached her dangerously and pinched her chin with one hand.

"How do you know these things?"

The original Xia Jiumeng would never have known about such professional equipment.

Whether it's her as a child or her now.

Xia Jiumeng looked at Qin Che's dangerous eyes and oppressive aura with great calmness.

When Qin Che saw that she didn't say anything, a strange fluctuation flashed in his left eye.

"Meow!!!"

Xiao Qi in Xia Jiumeng's arms suddenly jumped up and grabbed his eyes.

"Xiao Qi." Xia Jiumeng held Xiao Qi down before Qin Che made a move.

If Qin Che took action, Xiao Qi would be either dead or seriously injured.

"Meow!" Master, he wants to hurt you!

"fine."

As Xia Jiumeng increased her strength, Xiaoqi could only lie on her legs unwillingly, but he still made a threatening growl in his throat.

Wanting to protect his master with his weak body.

"Qin Che, don't you want me to remember something?" She said to the man who had let go of her chin and was sitting opposite her.

Qin Che frowned. "What do you remember?"

"a lot of."

"You can take a guess."

Qin Che's blood-red eyes were so deep that it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

It took a long time before he restrained his fierceness.

"Kittens have unpredictable minds."

Xia Jiumeng smiled when she heard his words. She knew that Qin Che believed her.

Qin Che was a sensitive and suspicious person, and she was really afraid that he would ask too many questions, but in the end he still trusted her unconditionally.

After all, there are some things that cannot be said now. Maybe one day she will tell them, but definitely not now.

"Then you can guess it by observing more."

She has given a lot of hints.
