Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

"Xiao Qi, you also saw that flower, right?"

Xia Jiumeng held the cup in both hands and looked into the distance.

She hadn't expected to see this kind of flower here, the kind that only her family had.

She remembered her tribe members saying that she would be able to find her home when the flowers bloomed.

But she had searched everywhere in Kester but had never seen it again, let alone wait until it bloomed. Unexpectedly, she saw it here.

【Owner...】

Xiaoqi has always known that her master's obsession is to find her family and ask them why they abandoned her.

"Do you think they will be here?"

She seemed to be asking Xiaoqi and also seemed to be asking herself.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether he is there or not." Xia Jiumeng laughed at herself, and her confused eyes regained their firmness.

She is no longer the little girl who could only cry in the empty grass.

She doesn't need them anymore.

She picked up Xiaoqi and rubbed against its furry body. She had Xiaoqi and Dabai by her side, and there would be more of them in the future. She was already satisfied.

"Thank you, Xiaoqi. I feel much better now."

[Master, you still have us. We will always be with you.] Xiao Qi hugged Xia Jiumeng back with his furry paws.

It had been a long time since it saw its owner so emotional.

"Okay!"

"Xiao Qi, I'm going to be out for a few days. Please continue to compare the data of other medicinal herbs during this period."

"I'll make you some energy chocolate when I get back."

She put Xiaoqi down and looked at it with a smile.

[Ah? Master? You're not taking me with you again???]

Xiaoqi was confused.

The owner used to take it everywhere with him, but why does he keep leaving it behind now?

"Xiao Qi, I'm going out with Xiao Yu~"

[No, Master, take me with you!]

【I don’t want to be alone at home! 】

I'm going! I'm going!

Xiaoqi doesn't care. The owner and it used to be inseparable. How could he put it behind just because of a man!

No!

If this continues, what status will it have in the family in the future?

At this moment, even the energy chocolate it longed for the most was not working.

"Xiao Qi, I'll be back soon."

【No, no, no! 】

Xia Jiumeng held it and coaxed it for more than an hour, and even ceded land and paid compensation and agreed to many of its requests before she finally coaxed it into submission.

When Qi Yu called her to come downstairs, Xiao Qi was still looking at her with the cat's eyes reflecting the water light.

[Master, you promised me not to block me! ]

"Know it!"

My chocolate!

"I'll do it for you when I get back! Just analyze the data honestly!"

"If you want to go out, remember to close the door."

After saying this, Xia Jiumeng closed the door of her house.

Even though this door is made of special material, it cannot lock Xiaoqi in. It is mainly used to keep out outsiders.

Home security and privacy are important.

A flashy, fiery red limited edition sports car was parked on the road outside the apartment. A handsome, indifferent man with short purple hair leaned against the car, holding his phone. He would occasionally look up toward the apartment door, muttering, "Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

It was not until he saw a girl in a light blue skirt walking towards him in the distance that he straightened his shirt and stood up straighter.

"I've been waiting for you for so long that I'm almost dried up by the sun." Qi Yu crossed his arms and looked at her unhappily.

"Sorry, the kitten at home was a little unhappy and I had to comfort him for a while."

Qi Yu was a little confused when he heard the word "cat" "Cat? The one on the island last time?"

"No, it's a white Persian cat with heterochromia that I 'adopted' some time ago."

"As expected, you have been bewitched by that evil creature."

"Let me see your cat." Qi Yu said as he took her arm and walked towards the apartment.

He wanted to see what kind of cat had bewitched his bodyguard so much that she was even late for his appointment.

Xia Jiumeng quickly pulled him back and said, "Wait, Qi Yu."

"It's resting, don't disturb it. If you want to see it, I have a video. I'll show it to you."

If they meet, the fish and the cat will definitely fight.

Seeing Xia Jiumeng like this, Qi Yu didn't pull her back to the apartment. He just stopped and looked at her coldly, "Really?"

"Did you even record a video of it?"

Xia Jiumeng: ....

"I'd like to see."

Qi Yu stretched out his hand.

Xia Jiumeng could only open the video she had originally recorded for Xiaoqi and show it to him.

In the video, a nimble white cat jumps around on the sofa in the living room and on the coffee table, landing gracefully and steadily every time, and its heterochromatic eyes are full of pride.

"generally."

After watching the video, Qi Yu gave a simple evaluation.

She has clean hair and unique eye color, and is quite good-looking, but compared to him, she is not on the same level.

Now that he had seen it, he stopped worrying about it. He proudly returned the phone to Xia Jiumeng and walked to the driver's seat.

"Why don't you get in the car? Can't bear to leave your cat?"

"what?"

"No, I'm coming."

Xia Jiumeng was stunned for a moment before she reacted and immediately got into the car, fastened her seat belt and sat down.

The car drove all the way to the airport, and Qi Yu took her to the special passage.

"this...."

"I chartered a private jet."

Xia Jiumeng: Wow, boss, you are a rich man.

She didn't understand why her "sister" was so crazy about money and power.

Now I seem to understand a little bit.

A superior and luxurious living condition does require a lot of money.

The plane landed smoothly at the airport in Xinyu City.

"Wake up, we're here." Qi Yu put away the magazine in his hand and woke up the person who was sleeping soundly beside him.

"Hmm, so sleepy~"

Xia Jiumeng was unwilling to open her eyes, and subconsciously pulled Qi Yu's hand and hummed like a spoiled child.

Qi Yu paused as her hand gripped his, "Be good, get up first, okay?"

His voice at this moment was so gentle that it could squeeze water out of it.

His heart melted when he saw the cute girl next to him acting coquettishly unconsciously because her sleep was disturbed.

With his repeated urging, Xia Jiumeng became much more conscious.

"Qi Yu?"

She opened her eyes and looked at the handsome face in front of her and the tenderness and doting in the purple-red eyes. She was dazed for a moment.

"Ahem, here we are."

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Qi Yu turned his head away awkwardly.

"what?"

"Wipe your face."

Qi Yu beside him handed over a blue and purple gradient silk handkerchief with an exquisite flame lily embroidered on it.

"Thank you."

Xia Jiumeng took the slightly moist handkerchief and wiped her face, and instantly became more awake.

After packing up and following Qi Yu off the plane, I saw Assistant Tang waiting by the business car.

He was a little surprised when he saw Xia Jiumeng.

Why did he bring someone along? Wasn't it agreed that he would make the arrangements?

“Qi Yu…”

"I don't like the woman you're looking for. If you must have a female companion, my bodyguard would be a good choice." Qi Yu said directly.

Then he took Xia Jiumeng into the business car.

Assistant Tang: No, sir, I’ve already called everyone here, how am I going to explain this to them?

But Qi Yu has a very tough temper. If you don't go along with him, he will definitely quit.

Assistant Tang sighed and could only get into the car helplessly.

Forget it, it’s good enough that he can come, don’t ask for too much.

"Qi Yu, you didn't say you were going to bring Miss Xia, so her dress hasn't been prepared yet..."

Assistant Tang, as the person in charge of Qi Yu's external affairs, needs to arrive early to prepare the hotel where Qi Yu will stay, his clothes and some schedule arrangements.

Having a female companion was a requirement from the organizer. After he communicated with Qi Yu and Qi Yu didn't say anything, he thought Qi Yu didn't care and made his own arrangements.

Now Qi Yu brought Miss Xia here, but there is no ready-made dress.

Even if we schedule it now, we may not be able to make it in time.

This made Assistant Tang a little worried.
