Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

the next day.

Xia Jiumeng woke Li Shen up and made sure that he was in good condition before letting him leave.

But it was still dark, so she decided to sleep a little longer.

I turned around and went back to my room to continue resting. I slept until the afternoon before waking up in a daze.

I looked at the time and saw that I was going to be late, so I hurriedly got up and packed.

I glanced at the guest bedroom next door. There was no movement. He must not have woken up yet.

The house was also a mess. When Li Shen left, he said that the decoration team would not arrive until after 4 o'clock, but she had to go to school and could not wait there. After thinking about it, she left a note on Shen Xinghui's door before turning around and leaving.

Following the navigation, Xia Jiumeng took a taxi to school and accurately found the teaching building.

"so many people?"

She felt a little embarrassed looking at the long registration line in front of her. The registration time was tomorrow afternoon, and she came early because she guessed there might be a lot of people.

I originally thought that I was already very early because I arrived a day early, but I didn’t expect that others were even earlier.

It turns out that humans are always in a state of internal competition no matter where they are.

After sighing, she obediently walked to the back of the line and started queuing.

【Xingxing: Sorry, I think I overslept. 】

【Xia Maomao: It’s okay, are you awake? 】

[Xingxing: I'm half awake. Are you not home? Where did you go?]

Shen Xinghui sat on the bed and looked at his phone.

[Xia Maomao: I went to school. Our school requires us to return to campus for six months of study before graduation, so I registered early.]

Shen Xing was a little surprised to hear her say this, but then he remembered that she seemed to have not graduated yet.

【Xingxing: Is that so? Is it troublesome? 】

Xia Jiumeng looked at Shen Xing's caring reply on WeChat and sent him an emoticon package saying nothing had happened.

[Xia Maomao: It's not a big deal. I just didn't expect so many people to show up even a day in advance. Photos gjp.]

Shen Xinghui looked at the densely packed queue in the photo and frowned slightly. There were too many people.

[Xingxing: It's unsafe with too many people. I'm here to accompany you. I don't have any missions today.]

Xia Jiumeng looked around and found nothing unusual. Now that her mental strength had recovered, she was able to protect herself.

[Xia Maomao: No need, I'll be back soon. I'm just reporting today and will start attending school next week.]

【Xingxing: In that case, I'll wait for you at home. 】

【Xia Maomao: OK.】

I put down my phone and followed the line. It was her turn in a few minutes. A female teacher stuck her head out of the office and called out to her.

"Student Xia Jiumeng, please report to the teaching office."

"Ok."

After organizing the information in her hand, she walked into the teaching office. These information were collected by Li Shen and Shen Xinghui yesterday =-=.

The original information was lost in the last explosion, but she hadn't thought about it before that she hadn't graduated from college yet, so the pre-plot was not written.

When she walked into the office, she saw a huge display screen and a man in a suit. Since she couldn't see his face clearly, Xia Jiumeng directly handed the information to him.

"Hello, teacher. My name is Xia Jiumeng. I'm back to complete the six months of training before graduation."

A slender hand took the information from the right side of the display screen, and a cold and magnetic voice rang out, "Okay."

Xia Jiumeng: “???”

This voice...why does it sound so...familiar?

With doubts in her heart, she tilted her head slightly to look at the person behind the screen, and unexpectedly met a pair of purple eyes.

"......"

It’s Qi Yu.

When did he become a teacher in the teaching department???

"Classmate, is there anything else?" Qi Yu raised the corner of his mouth, but his tone was serious.

"No, goodbye, teacher." Xia Jiumeng quickly turned her head back and walked out.

Qi Yu: “…?”

"Hey, classmate, your student ID!"

Seeing that Xia Jiumeng was about to leave the office, Qi Yu hurriedly called her.

"Student card?"

Qi Yu concealedly opened the drawer and took out an ID tag with her portrait on it.

"Well, some students have changed after being away from school for a long time, so they all have new ID tags."

"Is that so? Do I need to carry it with me all the time at school?"

"Yes, for the convenience of management, both students and teachers are required to bring it." Qi Yu said as he pulled up the work badge hidden in his suit.

'Qi Yu, visiting professor at the School of Arts.'

"Professor?" Xia Jiumeng saw Qi Yu's work badge clearly.

She had forgotten that Qi Yu seemed to have such an identity.

"So, how come you, a professor of fine arts, are in the teaching department?"

It seems that the art professor is not in charge of the work here?

No wonder this guy said some time ago that he would be busy with part-time work recently. It turns out that he came here to work part-time.

"Well, I came here temporarily to help. The teacher here just went out because of a stomachache."

Xia Jiumeng: =-=, do I believe it?

Qi Yu was convinced by his own reason and continued confidently, "I originally had something to do, but I am an enthusiastic person, so I stayed to help."

"By the way, aren't you a hunter? Why are you back in school?"

As Qi Yu spoke, he opened the computer in front of him and checked Xia Jiumeng's information.

"Oh~ So you haven't graduated yet~"

"Xia classmate~"

Xia Jiumeng: "...."

Sometimes I suddenly feel that the person I like may become really annoying. Should I hit him/her at this time?

"Teacher Qi, have I finished my registration?"

"Of course, I'm very efficient."

"Then I'll be leaving. Teacher, you continue with your work."

"Wait, I'll go with you." Qi Yu stood up and followed Xia Jiumeng's footsteps and left the teaching office with her.

"What will happen to the others if you go with me?" Xia Jiumeng looked at him in confusion.

Wasn't this guy temporarily acting as the instructor? There were still a lot of people waiting in line behind him, and he just walked away like that?

Qi Yu also saw what she was thinking and nodded her head with amusement.

So stupid and cute.

"Don't worry, the teacher is back." Qi Yu said as he waved the phone in front of her.

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a plump middle-aged man ran over.

"Teacher Qi, thank you."

Qi Yu smiled gently and said, "You're welcome. I'll leave first."

"Okay, okay, take care, Teacher Qi~" The man grinned happily. Just kidding, the God of Wealth, how could he not be happy?

God knows, when this guy who was working fine gave him a big red envelope and asked him to go to the toilet, he thought it was some government official.

If he hadn't produced his work ID, he would have almost called the police.

"What are you looking at? Line up! Look at how crookedly you're standing!" After watching the God of Wealth leave, the man said something unhappily to the curious students and turned to go to the office to start his work.

However, Xia Jiumeng and Qi Yu, who had already left, had no idea what happened here.

After Qi Yu sent Xia Jiumeng to the school gate, he couldn't help but remind her when he saw her about to leave.

"Ms. Bodyguard, have you forgotten something?"

Xia Jiumeng “?”

Qi Yu couldn't help but feel a little angry when he saw her stupid look.

But he still couldn't help but sigh. Forget it. Some people have bad memories and he can't care about it.

"Forget it. Some people have short memories. I'll make the reminder more obvious."

"You said last time that you would treat me to a meal. I'm free today, and I see you're free too. It's better to do it today than today." As he said this, he folded his arms and looked at Xia Jiumeng. His blue-purple eyes were full of anticipation, and he was almost saying he would treat me to a meal.

If Xia Jiumeng didn’t understand such an obvious hint, she would be a fool.

I didn't think about it at that time simply because I had a lot of things to do recently and didn't think about it for a while.

"Well, I have something else to do. How about you wait for a minute and I'll make some arrangements."

She thought that Shen Xinghui might still be waiting for her at her home, so she did not agree to Qi Yu directly.

It’s not time for dinner now. If I just eat something casually with Qi Yu, it will probably delay my dinner.

After all, when Qi Yu heard that she had something wrong, his eyes suddenly became extremely aggrieved. If she hadn't changed the subject temporarily, she felt that Qi Yu might burst into tears immediately.

Xia Jiumeng walked to the side and called Shen Xinghui on her cell phone.

"Partner, what's wrong?" The phone was connected after only two rings, and a gentle male voice sounded.

"Shen Xinghui, I..." Xia Jiumeng was about to say that she might be back a little late when she suddenly heard an extremely harsh voice on the other end of the phone.

"What a terrible sound."

"Sorry, I have to go and help with a temporary mission." Shen Xinghui frowned and waved his lightsaber. Feeling that the noise nearby was only a little smaller but not disappeared, he walked a few steps away.

"How is it now?"

"Um, okay, but can you still answer the phone while you're on a homeless body?"

If she remembered correctly, the area where the wandering bodies were would affect the magnetic field, and most of them would be unable to communicate, right?

"Well, these stray bodies are not of high level, so the impact is not significant."

"By the way, what are you calling about?"

"Oh, yes. I thought you were still at my house, so I was going to tell you that I had something to do and would be back late, but it's okay if you're not here."

Shen Xinghui narrowed his eyes with pleasure. Well, it was indeed his little junior sister who was always thinking about others. She was so cute.

"Want to have dinner together?"

"The mission won't be long, we should be able to make it in time."

Xia Jiumeng: "..." Ah, that's not what she meant!

She originally wanted to say that if you are busy, then go ahead and do your work...

Forget it, it’s okay to eat more. I have a strong physique and it won’t get bad.

"Okay, then if you have anything you want to eat, I can bring it on the way home tonight."

"I'm fine with either, but let's go buy it together when the time comes." Shen Xinghui's voice came gently and slowly. Xia Jiumeng could even imagine the shy look on his face when he said this.

How could she forget that Shen Xinghui was a human-shaped Taotie.

I can eat it well.

Qi Yu, who was far away, quietly pricked up his ears and heard what Shen Xinghui said.

Shen Xinghui, it sounds like a man's name.

Who? When?

He has always been guarding her, when did a man appear in her phone?!

So what she said just now about having something to do means she had an appointment with someone?

A little angry, but she seemed to have turned down others for him.

Hmm...it seems that his position in her heart is still higher than others, but she is still a little angry.

No, this can't be the end of the story. He has to...

When Xia Jiumeng turned around, she saw Qi Yu stroking his chin with a frown on his face, smiling and then frowning, looking a little confused.

what happened to him?

Have you encountered any difficulties?

She waved her hand in front of his eyes. "Qi Yu?"

"what happened to you?"

"what?!"

Qi Yu was startled and took a step back. After seeing that it was her, he touched his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why did you suddenly get so close to me and scare me?"

"No, I've been standing in front of you for a long time. I don't know what you were thinking. You ignored me."

Xia Jiumeng cried out for injustice.

"Yes, really?"

"Maybe I was distracted."

Qi Yu glanced at her uncomfortably. "Forget it, forget it. Have you resolved your issue?"

Since she approached me on her own initiative, well, I'll let her go for now.

"Okay, let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."

"What do you want to eat?" She knew that Qi Yu liked to eat seafood = eating his people.

"Seafood~ I know there's a top-rated seafood restaurant nearby!"

"follow me!"

When Qi Yu talked about food, his eyes lit up. It seemed that he really liked eating seafood.

I happily took the bodyguard lady to the school parking lot.

Xia Jiumeng: “?”

"Don't you want to eat seafood?"

What are you doing in the parking lot?

Qi Yu smiled mysteriously and took out the car key and pressed it.

"It's so far, Miss Bodyguard, do you want to exercise and walk there?"

Xia Jiumeng said, "I don't want to." She was in the late stage of laziness.

"That's right, my car is parked here, let's drive there."

Qi Yu said as he walked towards the direction of the car sound, "Wait for me here."

Not long after, a fiery red limited edition sports car rushed past like a flash of lightning and stopped steadily in front of Xia Jiumeng.

The fiery red body has smooth lines, exuding unparalleled charm, and its color makes people feel inexplicably hot, as if it is not fiery red but a burning flame.

Xia Jiumeng raised her eyebrows in surprise.

She thought Qi Yu's car would be a standard business car, but unexpectedly it was a sports car. However, it was quite consistent with the artist's eccentric personality.

After waiting for the car window, Qi Yu raised his chin slightly and motioned Xia Jiumeng to get in.

After getting in the car, Xia Jiumeng looked at the capped sports car with some confusion.

"how?"

Qi Yu, who was driving, noticed her emotions even though he didn't turn around.

"No, this kind of car should be convertible."

"I'm afraid of the wind blowing my hair."

In fact, Qi Yu was afraid of blowing the whistle on a certain bodyguard.

The wind blew through his hair as he stared intently at the road ahead. His white shirt was messy but neatly buttoned due to the wind blowing in through the gap in the driver's window.

Xia Jiumeng didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly. The serious and gentle Qi Yu was really handsome.

Although Qi Yu was looking straight ahead, his ears turned slightly red.

Xia Jiumeng saw this and smiled slightly. Xiaoyu is really shy.

The sports car was driving very fast and soon stopped at a commercial street near the sea.

"We're here. Get off the car and wait for me here." Qi Yu's face had returned to normal.

"No parking allowed here."

He explained.

"it is good."

Xia Jiumeng got out of the car obediently.

"Don't wander around, there are too many people here. I'll park the car and come right away."

"it is good."

Qi Yu was very satisfied with Xia Jiumeng's well-behaved behavior, and the smile on his face became even bigger.
