Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

In the early morning, Anya was awakened by an inexplicably pleasant bitter smell.

After rubbing his eyes, he found that Anma, Daowu and others were lying all over his bed. However, Chenxi, who had been sticking to him before he fell asleep, was nowhere to be seen.

"are you awake?"

Without deliberate regulation, the time sequence of the wasteland is synchronized with the outside world. However, at this moment, the morning light, brighter than the outside world, shines into this small room, illuminating the young man at the table.

The boy in the morning light looked like something Anya had never seen before.

It was a look that seemed even more innocent than when he first met Chen Xi.

Although she was a little confused, Anya's first words focused her doubts on what Chen Xi was fiddling with.

A peculiarly shaped machine was filled with strange-looking brown beans. As Chen Xi shook the handle of the machine, black powder gradually filled the tray below.

As the beans in the container gradually became less, Chen Xi's expression seemed to become more intoxicated, and the fragrance she smelled seemed to be wafting from this machine.

Rolling the filter paper into a funnel shape and placing it on the coffee pot he had bought for the occasion, Chen Xi gently poured hot water into the brass teapot. The water flowed smoothly and delicately, gradually flowing over each dry grain of powder, making them moist and soft.

The dark brown coffee liquid falls from the edge of the filter paper and gradually fills the drip pot.

"Chenxi, what are you doing?"

Anya, who saw this scene for the first time, was naturally full of curiosity.

Chen Xi picked up the coffee pot, filled the two exquisite porcelain teacups in front of him, and pushed a cup in Anya's direction.

"Make some coffee, would you like one?"

Anya jumped off the bed and trotted to the dining table. Instead of sitting opposite Chen Xi, who had the cup of coffee, she sat down next to Chen Xi, leaning in his arms and holding the cup of tea in front of him.

"I'll try it."

Anya took a sip out of curiosity and excitement, but her expression changed instantly.

"so bitter!"

Fortunately, she only took a shallow sip. If Anya had taken a big gulp without thinking, it would be hard to guarantee that she would not spray it on Chen Xi's face.

Although Chen Xi wouldn't mind too much even if she did that, maybe she would just let her wash the clothes on Chen Xi that she had soiled as punishment.

"Hahaha, you're not used to drinking this, are you?"

Chen Xi carefully took the teacup from Anya's hand and took a sip quickly as if he was afraid of spilling it.

"Hoo~!"

After confirming that it was the flavor he wanted, Chen Xi drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp without caring about his image. The bottom of the cup made a loud and impolite sound when it hit the porcelain plate, but no one here would blame him.

He refilled his glass again, but this time he just sipped it quietly, giving Anya time to ask questions.

"Why do I feel like Chen Xi seems a little different today?"

"What's the difference?"

"Well, it feels like, how should I put it, I've let go a little bit? I don't have that heavy feeling anymore."

"is it?"

He put down the coffee cup in his hand, stretched out his other hand to hug Anya's waist, and whispered in her ear:

"Isn't that all thanks to our mommy Anya~"

"Bad!"

Anya's face suddenly turned red and she punched Chen Xi in the chest, teaching a lesson to this guy who had just woken up and was teasing her in an inappropriate way.

"That's not what I meant. Or to be more specific...it seems like the way you make coffee today is different from usual."

Chen Xi, who was vaguely aware of something, had not yet reacted when Anya started to express her doubts.

"You've made this kind of coffee before... coffee that doesn't melt, but you always put the powder directly in the cup and then poured water..."

Before she could finish her words, Anya's mouth was covered by Chen Xi, and the blush would not disappear, but would only transfer.

Thinking about how he had treated these hand-brewed coffees before, Chen Xi felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, he had never done this in public, otherwise he would definitely be laughed at by others.

However, he himself felt a little strange about this matter.

Indeed, I never knew how to brew coffee other than instant coffee before, but this morning, it was as if I suddenly got it, and these things involuntarily came to my mind.

This made the full set of coffee equipment he had bought on a whim come in handy.

However… along with these insignificant bits of life knowledge, some very important things also came into my mind:

Arcana will die!

At some point in the future, she would die from the intense heat of a vacuum bomb for reasons she hadn't said and hadn't asked.

At present, he has no idea why this happened. Chen Xi, who instinctively resists knowing the truth, will not be so foolish as to ask Arcana directly.

Since she didn't say it, she must have her own reasons. Chen Xi chose to respect it.

Similarly, Chen Xi would not believe that she would be eliminated so easily, just like when he faked his death, Arcana did not believe it at all and broke into the foundation alone to find him.

Whether it is the Foundation or Reshaping, they are all striving for those lofty ideals, but Chen Xi just wants to live his own life well.

If necessary, he would not mind giving his blood or even a part of his soul to bring Arcana back.

But to be honest, what gave Chen Xi the most headache were those concepts about rainstorms, which made him confused.

Soul, body, there cannot be two selves in a rainstorm, all these various theories have burned out his few brain cells.

Fortunately, he was able to extract one piece of information that he really, really, really liked from these sudden messages!

In the future, there will be a very shrewd businessman character in Veldin's small box.

Unfortunately, the seafood-loving old lady with white hair and blue eyes didn't grow on Chen Xi's XP, but...

She holds a very magical little doll in her hand, which contains a cute succubus who is sometimes crazy and sometimes naive!

She is well-behaved and only needs to be provided with some food and a shelter, and she will be satisfied with her environment and loyal to her owner.

Powerful, her racial talents have endowed her with powerful mystical powers and an unparalleled body, allowing her to almost wipe out a small military training camp by herself.

Finally, and most importantly, crazy!

When Chen Xi first recalled the two threatening words that were uttered when he was summoned, he trembled all over.

Oh my God, it was as if a piece of his soul was unexpectedly completed. Chen Xi was a little eager to get the clockwork toy, but on the surface, he still had a calm expression as usual.

"I always feel like you're thinking about something bad."

Even though Chen Xi tried his best to remain calm, the unconscious upturned corners of his mouth still betrayed him.

As expected, nothing can escape Anya's eyes.

She didn't feel sorry at all. Chen Xi generously stretched out his hand to pinch Anya's pouting face and said with a smile:

"I'm thinking of finding you another little sister."

"Ok?"

She was startled, but Anya didn't act pretentiously. After a brief thought, she asked:

"What kind of person is she?"

"Yeah, it's like he has a split personality, just like me, hahahaha."

Anya, who was really angry now, grabbed Chen Xi's face and shattered the self-deprecating smile on his face.

"So how are you going to find her?"

Without dwelling on Chen Xi's teasing, she asked another question.

"Well, this woman's situation is a bit complicated. First, you need to find another person, trade something from her, and then summon your little sister.

As for how to find the other person, you'll need to ask your good sister for help."

"The other person you're looking for is also a woman?"

"Well, she's also a woman."

"Humph."

Slipping out of Chen Xi's arms, Anya straightened her clothes and said with her back to Chen Xi:

"I'm going to wake Hilma and Lovell up."

"Well, go ahead, go ahead."

Knowing that Anya was not really angry, Chen Xi still had a faint smile on his face.

After drinking the remaining coffee in the cup in one gulp, Chen Xi stood up and clapped his hands. Dao Wu and An Ma on the bed turned into a stream of light and gathered at his waist. Without disturbing them, he continued to rest. Chen Xi hummed a tune and prepared breakfast for everyone to enjoy.

----

I caught up on the plot of "Speed, City of Tomorrow" today, and damn, Nana's crazy debut really touched me! I don't care, I want to get her right away! Nana, Nana!

Because I've added some plot points, I also need to give Chen Xi some more scenes. Also, when I was discussing with my friends today, I realized I made a mistake with Verdin's current age (damn it), so I changed the previous chapter a bit: Verdin is fourteen, and Liya is eleven. There are still two years before the main storyline begins.

I plan to use this time to write something good. I hope you like it.

Finally, finally, I still love you~
