Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

After blowing her hair, Xia Yizhuo called her to go to bed, but when she woke up the next day, she felt a little dizzy.

He frowned uncomfortably, rubbed his head and slowly walked out of the room.

I was stunned for a moment when I saw the pile of boxes of different sizes that suddenly appeared in the living room.

"What's this?"

Xia Yizhuo was sitting among the pile of things with his sleeves rolled up, holding a bunch of parts and assembling something in a familiar manner. He looked up slightly when he heard her voice.

"I saw that my house was a little empty, so I bought some things. Do you think you need anything?

"I don't need anything. I'm just staying for a few days and will be back soon. I don't need to buy anything."

"What do you mean? You don't plan to come to see me again in the future?"

"Uh, no."

After hearing this answer, Xia Yizhuo smiled with satisfaction, wiped his hands and patted the assembled little robot on the head.

Two smiles curved on the screen of the little robot, and it walked up to Xia Jiumeng and greeted her, "Hello, Master~"

Xia Yizhou: "From now on, when you lie on the bed playing, you can let it bring you snacks and drinks."

Xia Jiumeng: "...Yes."

Sitting next to Xia Yizhou, he watched Xia Yizhou continue to unpack and said, "Xia Yizhou, I have something to go out for this afternoon. I have an appointment with someone."

"Can you take me there?"

Xia Yizhuo stopped what he was doing, turned around, looked at Xia Jiumeng's slightly flushed cheeks, and reached out to touch them.

"Don't go out today. The temperature is a bit hot. You probably caught a cold from the rain yesterday."

"Be good, take a good rest at home for a day and recuperate." Xia Jiumeng: "..."

It's not that I have an A-level physique and won't get sick so easily, okay? But my condition today is a bit strange, but it doesn't affect my movements.

Xia Yizhou withdrew his hand, opened the next box, and continued to work. "The deep space tunnel is fluctuating abnormally, and the wandering bodies in Tianxing City are also becoming more active."

"For safety reasons, a full curfew will be implemented tonight for cleanup activities."

Xia Jiumeng frowned slightly. "Isn't it the hunter's job to clean up stray bodies? Is your fleet also responsible for this now?"

"Also, is this wandering entity of such a high rank that it requires the entire fleet to be dispatched?"

"It has nothing to do with the level of the wandering body. Now that the fleet has taken over Tianxing City, it is natural to ensure the safety of everyone."

He stopped and looked up at Xia Jiumeng. "I'm not home tonight. You must not go out no matter what. Do you understand?"

Xia Jiumeng frowned slightly. She had to go out today. Dongyun was going to come up, and she had to take her to see that Wei Island. Secondly, since the fleet was going to clean up, there was a high probability that Xiaosen would be found, so she had to find a way to transfer him.

"But I have something urgent to do and I have to go out."

"That won't work either." Xia Yizhuo refused without hesitation.

"Xia Yizhuo, I have something important to do. I promise I'll be back before nightfall, okay?"

Their cleaning operation is at night, so she just needs to come back before that.

"Your safety is very important. Don't make things difficult for me, okay?" Xia Yizhuo reached out and touched her head with a warm smile, but there was an lingering haze in his eyes that was too smiling.

"Xia Yizhuo, tonight's cleanup isn't just for the stray bodies, right?"

"You think too much."

He looked away, pretending not to understand her question and continued studying the drawings in his hand.

But she reached out and twisted his jaw to force her to look directly at her. "You're lying."

"What about you?" he asked calmly, while grabbing her right hand with one hand and reaching for the gun at her waist with the other.

"Who needs to carry a gun with them when meeting someone?"

"I'm just trying to prevent encountering stray bodies." Xia Jiumeng explained.

Xia Yizhuo tightened his grip on her wrist. "Jiu Meng, don't forget the ether core in your body. You are no longer an ordinary hunter."

"The forces behind this explosion are complex and intricate. If you're not careful, you'll never be able to leave Tianxing again."

Even I...can't protect you.

"Sure enough, the fleet isn't just investigating the explosion. What are you hiding?"

"..."

Xia Yizhuo did not answer. In the silent stalemate, the living room fell into an eerie silence. Only the little robot was unaware and was clattering around the living room.

After a few seconds he released his hand and apologized softly, "...Sorry."

"Remember what I said?"

"Leave it to me. I will never break my promise to you."

Xia Jiumeng pursed her lips, her brain feeling a little dizzy and uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but lean back on the sofa.

"Xia Yizhuo, I'm not the weak hunter I used to be."

"Try to trust me."

Seeing that she looked uncomfortable, Xia Yizhuo immediately half-knelt beside her, holding the hand that he had just held tightly, and gently circled her wrist with his thumb.

"I'm sorry, brother shouldn't have made you angry."

"Tonight's operation is not an ordinary mission. You have just arrived in Tianxing City and you don't know the dangers that are hidden here."

His eyes were sincere and earnest, as if he was really a good brother who didn't let her go out because he was worried about her safety.

Xia Jiumeng: "...."

She knew that no matter what she said, Xia Yizhou would not agree to let her go out, so she didn't say anything. Besides, her current condition was a little abnormal.

As an A-level physique, it is impossible for her to be like this just because of being caught in the rain. There must be other reasons.

"I see."

Giving up the topic, she quietly accompanied Xia Yizhou in tidying up the house.

She didn't find any chance to leave Wei Island the whole day, so she had no choice but to wait and see when he went out on a mission in the evening.

After dinner, she went back to her room to rest on the pretext of feeling unwell. When she was lying on the bed and saw her cell phone, which had been full of signal, suddenly lost its signal, she knew that martial law had begun.

Even the signal was cut off. It seems that this operation was really thorough.

When the time pointed to 11 o'clock, there was finally a faint sound of the door being pushed open outside the house, but there was still the breath of another person in the room. She pushed the door open and walked out, and saw Xia Yizhuo standing at the entrance of the living room with his arms folded, looking at her quietly.

"Brother, you haven't left yet?"

"Leave now."

"Then be careful on the road. I'm going to get some water." As she took a step, a cup full of water and two white pills floated in front of her.

"I saw that the temperature of your forehead hasn't dropped during the day. You must have caught a cold from the rain yesterday."

"I am fine."

"Take some cold medicine before going to bed. Even if you don't have a cold, it's still a precaution." His tone was very calm, and his face was as gentle as ever.

"it is good."

Xia Jiumeng looked at the noodles, reached out to take it and ate it. Anyway, this thing was of no use to her, so she might as well eat it.

In the dim light of the living room, the sound of the ticking second hand and the breathing of the two people suddenly became very conspicuous. Xia Jiumeng subconsciously avoided his sight and turned to walk towards the bedroom.

"I'm going to sleep now, good night."

"Good night."

Wait until he leaves first.

Xia Jiumeng lay back on the bed and closed her eyes to rest.

I thought Xia Yizhou would leave soon, but Xia Yizhou was still at home for more than half an hour. Wasn't this guy going to carry out cleaning tasks?

Why aren't you leaving yet?

She was still confused when suddenly the bedroom door was pushed open. She immediately adjusted her breathing and pretended to be asleep.

Xia Yizhuo walked slowly to the bedside and sat down. Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, he couldn't help but take her hand and put it on his cheek to feel her warmth.

The tone was lingering, "Jiu Meng..."

"If I keep you by my side like this, will you think I'm too selfish?"

His tone sounded like a question and a sigh, "But we only have each other left..."

"Tell me, if I had realized these dangers earlier, wouldn't these things have happened later?"

Although he said that, Xia Yizhuo knew that he could not change anything at that time. He could escape once, but what about the second and third time?

Looking at the girl on the bed who touched all his emotions and heart, he couldn't help but lean over and kiss her on the forehead.

As soft as a feather brushing past.

But Xia Jiumeng, who was pretending to be asleep, was as shocked as if a million S-level Zergs were running wildly in her mind!

I k, Xia Yizhu he he he!

He kissed me secretly!

I rely on!

He is indeed not simple!

But, this feels pretty good?!

Xia Yizhuo didn't notice that there was anything wrong with Xia Jiumeng. He looked at her deeply before getting up and walking out, putting on his sergeant's hat as he walked.

"Don't worry, this nightmare ends here."
