Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

After eating, Xia Yizhuo took the lead in clearing the table and asked her to wait on the sofa while he went to clean up the bedroom.

"Then where do you live?"

"Next door to you."

"Ok."

Looking at Xia Yizhou's busy figure, she hesitated for a moment before asking, "Xia Yizhou..."

His gentle eyes swept over, "Thirsty?"

"There's soda here, take whatever you want." He moved aside to make way for the refrigerator.

Xia Jiumeng walked over and took out two bottles of apple-flavored soda. "Do you want some?"

Seeing that he didn't refuse she opened one of them and handed it to him.

Xia Yizhou didn't answer, but just joked, "Are you trying to dodge while I'm reaching out?"

"I'm not fooled."

Xia Jiumeng curled her lips and said, "I won't play such tricks now."

Hearing this, Xia Yizhou raised his eyebrows and said, "Really? I'll trust you this time." He reached out to take it, but the next second Xia Jiumeng turned her wrist flexibly to avoid his fingertips and smiled smugly, "Haha, you've been fooled~"

Before he could finish his words, the soda suddenly flew out of his hand but was held firmly in mid-air by Xia Yizhuo.

"Childish." He complained but his eyes were full of doting.

Xia Yizhuo wiped his hands and sat on the sofa with her to clink glasses.

At this moment, a sudden thunderclap sounded outside the window where it was drizzling, and Xia Jiumeng was choked.

"cough."

Seeing this, Xia Yizhou hurried forward and patted her on the back to calm her down while saying with a smile, "Are you still afraid of thunder now?"

His free hand immediately activated the smart housekeeper to close the curtains to block out the thunderstorm outside the window.

"Ahem, what are you afraid of?"

Xia Jiumeng asked back while coughing out the soda that choked her nose.

"There was a time when you were a child when you were very afraid of thunder. Whenever there was such weather, you would quietly hide in the corner. Have you forgotten?"

Xia Jiumeng was stunned for a moment. She was not actually afraid of thunder, she just didn't like it because... she was abandoned in such weather.

So the original 'she' also doesn't like thunderstorms?

But how come Xia Yizhou remembers it so clearly...

Xia Yizhou continued, "At first I thought you were playing hide-and-seek with me, but later I realized you were just scared."

"You remember this kind of thing..."

Because of Xia Yizhuo's words, a related vague memory appeared in her mind, as if it was deliberately placed in a corner, and she could not remember it unless she was reminded.

After Xia Jiumeng absorbed that memory, she continued, "Actually, I wasn't scared for long. I was fine after a while."

"Who is that thanks to?"

Seeing Xia Yizhou's raised eyebrows and smirking expression, she deliberately pretended to be stupid and said, "Well, it's thanks to my natural strength."

"You are such a heartless person." Xia Yizhuo stretched out his hand and pinched her nose tip with a smile, but he didn't use any strength at all. He let go only when he saw her smile with success.

Of course she knew why she was not afraid of thunderstorms.

In that memory, whenever it was a thunderstorm, even if it was just thunder, Xia Yizhuo would appear by her side, hug her tightly, cover her ears, and stay with her day or night.

Until she fell asleep peacefully.

Such weather is like a shackle, locking the lively and bustling child Wang Xia Yizhuo at home, hiding with her in a small corner.

But in fact, she was the one trapped, and Xia Yizhuo was the hero who helped her break the shackles.

"Come to think of it, Xia Yizhou, why was it that you could always find me no matter where I hid before?"

She suddenly remembered that in her memory, Xia Yizhuo seemed to be able to find her accurately no matter where she hid, and she felt a little curious.

"We are not siblings."

There shouldn't be any telepathy or anything like that, right?

How can you find people so accurately?

Xia Yizhou: "It doesn't matter whether we kissed or not."

His nonsensical words made Xia Jiumeng's fingertips holding the soda can shrink involuntarily, and a strange emotion inexplicably passed through her heart.

"Xia Yi Zhou..."

"Telepathy... isn't it something that only siblings can have..."

“Like in this accident…”

Hearing her mention the explosion, Xia Yizhou instantly guessed what she was thinking. "Do you still want to continue investigating the Liuyun District?"

She nodded. When she came here, she promised the association that she would find a way to bring back some news. Moreover, this explosion was closely related to the Ether Core, so if she had the chance, she would naturally want to get involved.

The fact that ever and the association care so much about the explosion case proves that the clue about Wei Ci in the news is very likely in the explosion case, and she certainly won't miss it.

If I could get it first, I would at least be disgusted for a long time.

Xia Yizhou frowned slightly upon hearing this and said in a deep voice, "The fleet will be fully responsible for this matter. Even if you can't trust the fleet, can you trust me, your brother?"

"Don't get involved in this matter. Since you've asked for leave, just take a few days off and treat it as a vacation."

"No, Komori's sister must be very worried about her brother... She must also want to be reunited with him."

Xia Jiumeng looked into Xia Yizhuo's eyes and tried to convince him with this matter, because they had also fallen into such despair before.

Jiang Nan had passed the identities of the two children to her a long time ago, so she knew them.
