After a quick wash, he packed his clothes and walked towards the restaurant.
Sure enough, Luo Qi had already gotten up early and was preparing breakfast.
"Good morning, Mr. Xia Ye. Did you sleep well last night?"
Luo Qi concentrated on cooking the food in front of her and greeted Xia Ye.
"Not bad, at least much better than the wilderness." Xia Ye responded indifferently.
As if sensing Xia Ye's strange mood, Luo Qi turned around and quickly noticed the crowbar hanging around his waist.
Then, there was a hint of smile in her eyes, and she asked:
"Mr. Xia Ye, I noticed yesterday that you always carried that crowbar with you. Does this tool have any special meaning to you?"
"It's nothing special. It's just the only weapon I can use to defend myself at the moment." Xia Ye stopped a few meters away from Luo Qi, staring at her.
"Well, actually, you don't need to carry it with you all the time inside the office. It's very safe here, at least under normal circumstances."
Luo Qi turned the stove to low heat and walked over slowly.
"Really? But I almost encountered some strange dangers yesterday." Xia Ye said calmly.
"Are you talking about Leah's incident? I apologize to you again. I didn't notice Leah's genetic abnormality..."
"Ms. Luo Qi, I know you are a smart person, and I hope you don't treat me as a fool." Xia Ye shook his head, sat down at the dining table, and interrupted the other party.
"I don't understand what you mean..." Luo Qi tilted her head when she heard that, but was not angry at Xia Ye's rudeness.
"It's hard not to notice the sound of your high heels." Xia Ye didn't beat around the bush and said directly:
"But why did I only hear the sound of you leaving last night, but not the sound of you coming?"
"There was no sound at all. It's highly unlikely that you could even teleport... Don't tell me you stayed afloat the entire time and only landed on the ground after you were done with the matter."
"Ms. Luo Qi, you have actually been guarding outside the door the entire time, and you are fully aware of what is happening inside the house, right?"
Although Xia Ye's performance after traveling through time has not been outstanding, it does not mean that he is stupid.
In fact, as a strategy provider and porter for a well-known adult forum in his previous life, his plot sensitivity and reasoning ability have always been quite good.
"Pfft!"
Luo Qi stared at Xia Ye for a long time with smiling eyes, and suddenly she covered her mouth and laughed. After a long time, she said:
"I'm really defeated by you, Mr. Xia Ye. I really didn't expect that you would pay attention to such details under that situation."
"I admit that I was the one who secretly controlled and observed what happened yesterday."
"Why?" Xia Ye frowned, indicating that he did not understand such behavior.
"I can't tell you the specific reason yet, but please believe me, I definitely don't do this to hurt you."
"If I have offended you, Mr. Xia Ye, I apologize again..."
Luo Qi said sincerely.
"I am willing to believe you, otherwise I would not come to you, but sneak away directly." But Xia Ye shook his head and did not accept Luo Qi's apology, but continued:
"I came to talk to you about this because I want to tell you that, first of all, I don't like others observing me for some inexplicable reasons, especially when it comes to...this kind of thing."
"Secondly, I think your behavior is irresponsible to Leah, and even exploitative. This makes me feel that Leah's trust and love for you are not worth it."
Luo Qi was stunned. She didn't expect the other party to say that.
"Although according to what you said yesterday, my current situation is not safe, but if the person in charge of Qianshi Office is someone I cannot approve of, I would rather leave here, and I am ready... to say goodbye to you."
Xia Ye continued coldly.
After he got the guess about Luo Qi's behavior, such thoughts kept filling his mind.
In some ways, Xia Ye's principles are indeed ridiculously strong.
It is better to have nothing than to have something bad. It is not an exaggeration to even call it mental mysophobia.
This is the important reason why he has not found a girlfriend.
For Xia Ye, Leah was the first person he met after traveling through time, and she was also his savior.
Although he had a certain desire to exploit this silly girl at first, after two days of getting along with her, Xia Ye really liked this adorable and innocent girl.
That's why he felt indignant for Luo Qi's behavior.
"Mr. Xia Ye, I am surprised by your way of thinking... It's not to belittle you, but it makes me feel novel and appreciative." Luo Qi finally regained her smiling and calm demeanor and said.
"We Orientals are all like this." Xia Ye snorted coldly.
"Then you must have lived in an enviable place..." Luo Qi shook her head, slowly walked to the dining table, sat next to Xia Ye, stared into her eyes and said seriously:
"I understand what you mean. I apologize to you for the third time, and I promise it won't happen again."
"Liya is my important companion, and I don't have any intention of using her as you said. It's just that in this matter... I was indeed not thoughtful enough."
"I also hope that Mr. Xia Ye can continue to stay in Qianshi Office. You are very welcome here."
Xia Ye was silent for a while before nodding.
"Mr. Xia Ye, I have to say that I also like you a little bit. Liya is not very sensitive to many things, but at least her nose is really good - you are indeed a... good man."
Seeing Xia Ye's expression, Luo Qi lightly lifted her hair and spoke in a gentle and charming voice.
"..."
Luo Qi has a really high EQ, making it hard to dislike her.
Even after such a rude conversation with me just now, he did not show the slightest displeasure. Instead, he turned around and continued to praise me.
Xia Ye couldn't even tell whether her words were from the heart or just a carefully woven mask of disguise.
"Mr. Xia Ye, are you still angry? Then why not consider how to punish me?" Seeing that Xia Ye didn't speak for a long time, Luo Qi suddenly spoke.
"What?!" Xia Ye, who was still considering how to soften his attitude, was suddenly shocked after hearing this and looked at Luo Qi in surprise.
At this moment, the other party had a slightly frowned brow and a sly smile on his face, and his eyes seemed to be telling something subtle.
This expression, coupled with the other party's decent maid outfit, is extremely lethal.
In particular, Xia Ye felt that the other party seemed to be asking questions seriously.
"If you make a mistake, you have to accept the punishment, right? If Mr. Xia Ye is unwilling to simply forgive me, you can impose a small punishment on me as compensation for last night."
Luo Qi's voice seemed to have magic and was full of temptation, causing Xia Ye to subconsciously begin to conjure up some erotic images in his mind.
"Shit! It seems that all aliens have some elements that are popular in porn. Leah is most likely a dog, and Luoqi...could she be a succubus?"
This thought arose in Xia Ye's mind, making him feel overwhelmed.
Suddenly, he had an idea and opened Luo Qi's file.
Sure enough, the other party's favorability has increased from 5 points to 10 points. At the same time, the current relationship, which was originally displayed as "None", has also changed to "Luo Qi is observing you."
"Not only did my words not make her angry, but they actually made her more favorable towards me?"
"Observation... Could it be that Luo Qi's actions are similar to testing me?"
Now, Xia Ye was in even more trouble——
Should he refuse or accept it now?
10. The Shia city-state does not support idlers
"What do you want to eat this morning!" Fortunately, Leah's energetic voice appeared at the door of the restaurant at the right time, rescuing the troubled Xia Ye.
"Luoqi's love porridge--" Luoqi blinked at Xia Ye before replying to Liya.
"Okay! Let's eat! Leah is hungry!"
The energetic girl skipped to the dining table and sat upright, looking like a good kid who was listening attentively in class.
"I'll be there soon..." Luo Qi stood up and prepared to take the porridge from the stove, but in the process, she still said in a voice that only Xia Ye could hear:
"Mr. Xia Ye, you can take your time to think about it. You can always come to me when you have an idea~"
"..."
………………
"Did Liya sleepwalk yesterday? Why did she fall asleep in Xia Ye's bed when she woke up in the morning?"
It was breakfast time, Leah asked as she devoured the delicious food.
"That should be the case. You scared me last night..." Xia Ye pretended to have a headache and smiled helplessly.
Although the other two had not discussed this matter, their attitudes were surprisingly tacit.
It’s better to let Leah not know and just fool around with it.
"Did Liya lift the quilt? Would Xia Ye think that Liya's sleeping posture is ugly?"
And Leah seemed to have a strange focus on this and kept asking questions.
"How could it be...Liya slept very quietly last night."
"Then can Leah come over to sleep with Xia Ye more often in the future? Leah likes the feeling of being surrounded by Xia Ye's scent when she wakes up."
Hearing this, Xia Ye glanced in the direction of Luo Qi, who just smiled and shrugged.
"Of course...you can." Unable to bear to refuse the other party, he could only nod in agreement.
……
"Mr. Xia Ye needs to complete his identity registration and residence certification as soon as possible, so I will take him to the Government Affairs Center to handle relevant matters today;"
"Liya, will it be a problem for me to go to the commission meeting alone to submit the task today?"
After dinner, Luo Qi was cleaning up the restaurant while planning today's itinerary.
"Of course not! Leah is already a mature clerk."
"That's good. Anyway, keep in touch at any time. If you encounter something you are unsure of, call me as soon as possible."
"Know it--"
"Liya, get dressed and go out!" Liya stood up and went straight to her room.
"Be careful on the road—" Luo Qi added habitually like a mother, then looked at Xia Ye and said:
"Mr. Xia Ye, wait for me for a moment. We will set off together after I pack my things."
"Okay... need some help?"
"No need! These things are all my responsibility! Mr. Xia Ye, just sit over there and rest for a while."
"Okay..." Xia Ye looked at Luo Qi working briskly at the stove, and didn't know what to do for a moment, so he could only continue to ask Luo Qi some questions that puzzled him:
"So... you guys have a communication tool? Then why didn't Leah call you during those days in the wilderness?"
"There is no signal in the wilderness. Tools like telephones are only useful in cities."
"It seems so..." Xia Ye recalled the endless barrenness in the wilderness, and it was indeed impossible for such a thing as a signal receiving and sending point to exist.
"After completing the identity registration, I will also prepare communication equipment for you, Mr. Xia Ye." Perhaps thinking that Xia Ye was worried about this matter, Luo Qi continued to add.
"Luo Qi... Can I ask you why you value me so... much?" Xia Ye pondered for a long time before he came up with a suitable word.
"In other words, what is your attitude towards me, a person with special abilities, and you, Leah?"
"Aren't you worried that you'll be implicated?"
Luo Qi turned her head and smiled and replied:
"Mr. Xia Ye, special people must have special rules of conduct, right?"
It seems that Luo Qi does not intend to tell him all his thoughts, but only vaguely states his position:
"The reasons behind this are very complicated, but Mr. Xia Ye, you just need to know that I, Liya... everyone in Qianshi Office will not harm you."
"Besides you two, there should be four other colleagues in Qianshi Office, right?" Xia Ye observed this yesterday.
The door of the room he lived in was empty, with only a house number;
Some of the doors have some unique features - for example, there is a bone-shaped doorplate hanging on Leah's door, and there is a maid's headdress on Luoqi's door frame.
In addition, there are four doors, all of which have this feature.
"Very sharp observation... All four of them are out on missions for varying lengths of time, but one should be back this week. I'll introduce her to you then."
