"Hmm? Are you awake already? Good morning."
Hearing the voice returning to normal, a hint of regret flashed across Xylitol's eyes, but there was still a smile in his tone:
"It's already been half an hour since the agreed time. Do you need me to prepare breakfast for you?"
Hearing this, Luo Shiyin, who was originally a little depressed, paused and subconsciously glanced at the wall clock - the other party was not lying.
"...Ah, thanks, coffee and milk, and a piece of bread, I'll be right there."
After leaving such a sentence with a guilty conscience, Luo Shiyin immediately hung up the phone, then reached into the quilt with both hands and pulled out a white-haired loli who was still sleeping.
After washing her face, brushing her teeth, getting dressed and combing her hair, Luo Shiyin finished all this as quickly as possible and took the still dazed little girl out of the room and ran towards the coffee shop on the second floor of the hotel.
"Fifteen minutes, that's fast."
Sitting at the small table by the window, Xylitol looked at the two little ones walking into the cafe hand in hand, and waved at them with a smile. The coffee and milk on the table in front of him were still steaming.
After taking Luo Xue to the table and sitting down, and pushing the glass of milk and bread to her, Luo Shiyin finally had time to breathe a sigh of relief, picked up the coffee and said with emotion:
"After getting used to the relaxed working hours, it's a little hard to get used to getting up early."
"You can call nine o'clock early. It can be seen that you are quite adaptable to the company's working hours."
Xylitol still had a smile on his face as he watched the girl with long black hair bring the coffee to her mouth.
However, Luo Shiyin suddenly became alert - if he didn't argue with her for more than three sentences, this coffee must be a scam!
She looked down at the dark liquid in the cup that smelled of strong coffee. She raised her head helplessly, as if she had thought of something.
"Black coffee...are you a kid?"
"I prepared this especially for you in case you haven't woken up yet."
Seeing that the other party had discovered it, a hint of regret flashed in Xylitol's eyes.
"Then I really thank you."
She rolled her eyes at the other person helplessly, and then Luo Shiyin slowly drank the coffee in front of Xylitol's surprised gaze, with no sign of reluctance on her face.
Looking at the obviously lower water level in the other person's cup, Xylitol couldn't help but be shocked:
"Hiss, liking something that tastes like Chinese medicine, is this a common problem among you researchers?"
"Huh? The previous director of the institute also liked black coffee?"
Hearing this, Luo Shiyin was a little surprised.
However, Xylitol shook his head:
"She doesn't like it, but every time she does an experiment, she will make a cup of very strong black coffee. According to her, it makes it look more ceremonial."
"This is really..."
Hearing this, Luo Shiyin instinctively wanted to ask more questions about the director.
As a newcomer who took over the laboratory, she had to admit that the other party was a talented genius. Although the hand-rubbed microwave oven was criticized, the technological content in it was not exaggerated.
But at this moment, Xylitol's cell phone suddenly vibrated - it was an email from Wansui.
But after seeing the above content, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she immediately looked at the black-haired loli in front of her:
"After you dealt with that monster yesterday, did you recover the core?"
"Core? Ah, that thing flew out more than ten meters before I smashed it into pieces with a rock. The core should have sunk into the sea. What happened?"
After trying hard to recall for a while, Luo Shiyin finally remembered the setting that "monsters have energy cores in their bodies."
But this cannot be blamed on her. After all, Luo Shiyin has only seen two monsters during this period. The core that exploded from the monster in the water park was picked up by the blonde girl. And yesterday her mind was focused on flirting with a little blue-haired boy, and she didn't pay any attention to the so-called core at all.
"You, Long Live, just now a strong negative energy reaction was detected at the beach, and I thought there was a new monster."
Rolling his eyes helplessly, Xylitol put down his phone and urged:
"Please speed up a bit. We need to add diving to today's activities."
Chapter 76 - Sense of Ritual
As an urban scenic spot with the ocean and the beach as its main selling points, the Golden Coastline's boat cruise project has naturally become a popular activity, especially after the overwhelming advertising. Many boatmen are even fully booked for two consecutive weeks.
It is not easy to rent a yacht that is available and of good quality at this time.
"Besides, those who are willing to pay for the entire yacht are all big bosses. Yesterday I saw someone who wanted to pay three times the price for a boat ride, but was rejected directly."
On a simple dock made of sun-proof cloth and bamboo poles, three men who looked like experienced boatmen sat together, discussing something loudly, but their eyes were involuntarily looking towards the other side of the dock.
There, a blonde woman in a blue belly-baring top was standing on the edge of the wooden steps. Although the huge sunglasses covered most of her face, from the remaining half of her face, it could still be seen that she was a top-notch queen with a good appearance.
Beside her, there are two equally cute little girls. The one with white hair is wearing fluffy animal ears, which matches her flawless face like a snow elf, making people want to take a few more glances.
But compared to all these, the three old boatmen were more concerned about the cell phones in the hands of the blonde lady and the black-haired loli.
That is a real luxury. They can even provide a child for them. They are definitely not a simple family!
Thinking of this, the conversation between the few people became louder:
"Actually, if you ask me, those yachts are just so-so. My old fishing boat won't be any worse if I just clean it up. And the price is only one-tenth of renting a yacht. That's really affordable."
[These days, do honest people all play the game of stepping on one and praising another? ]
Looking at the old boatmen with some amusement, Luo Shiyin casually sent an email to the blonde lady beside her.
Soon, she received a reply:
[Market influence is top-down. Compared to this, can you determine the location where the monster was solved yesterday? ]
[Don't worry, I left a mark]
【What? 】
[Near the black rock wall, there is a large reef that I broke off in half. That thing should be quite conspicuous.]
[I am now beginning to doubt whether you are a carbon-based organism. ]
[What? Do you want to try it tonight? ]
[Of course you can, but I'm worried that your bed is too small and you won't be able to fit in it. Why don't you come to my place? My bed can accommodate five of you.]
[With your thin waist, you still want to collapse the bed? ]
The content of the email inexplicably went off track, but neither Xylitol nor Luo Shiyin paid much attention to it and just treated it as a way to pass the time.
At this moment, a whistle suddenly sounded from not far away, and then a white yacht about fifteen meters long slowly came from the seaside and stopped near the pier.
Seeing this scene, Luo Xue's eyes suddenly lit up, and the little hand held by Luo Shiyin couldn't help but exert a little force.
Immediately afterwards, Wansui walked out of the cabin and nodded at the three people.
But after seeing the clothes on him, Luo Shiyin was a little stunned.
At this time, Wansui was no longer wearing the same black suit as always, but had changed into a Hawaiian shirt and beach pants. If it weren't for her pair of dead fish eyes that were still scary empty, she wouldn't even look like a human.
Noticing the expression of this black and straight loli, Xylitol immediately guessed the reason and said with a smile:
"Does it feel like you've become a different person? When I first saw Wansui in casual clothes, I couldn't recognize him either."
"Uh, I think I used that suit as his default skin before."
Touching his nose, Luo Shiyin muttered helplessly.
Although he didn't hear the content of the conversation between the two, Wansui could guess what they were talking about through their expressions.
So after the three of them boarded the ship, the middle-aged man with hollow eyes explained in a calm tone, like an NPC providing additional explanations:
"It's inconvenient to wear a suit on board."
"I understand this, just like a beautiful girl wearing a naked apron to cook, she will be eaten in the end, but... why is it this style?"
Looking at the other person's clothes that seemed to say "I'm a foreigner, come and kill me", Luo Shiyin's expression was a little subtle.
Hearing this, Wansui silently took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and lit it up, facing the sea breeze, and uttered three words in a calm tone:
"A sense of ritual."
"Very good. I will consider wearing that white coat as little as possible when I act next time."
The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and Luo Shiyin decisively changed the subject, tilting her head to look towards the driver's cabin:
"Where did you find this yacht? There shouldn't be many captains available at this time..."
"Are all the people who want to get on board here? If all is well, we'll set off."
A voice with a curled end suddenly sounded, interrupting the loli with long black hair in the middle of her words. Then a girl with healthy wheat-colored skin and her hair tied into a short ponytail walked out.
After looking at the blonde lady and the two little girls on the deck, she couldn't help but show surprise on her face, and then smiled and looked at Wansui beside her:
"Are these two little sisters your daughters? They are so cute. And this one..."
"These are my colleagues. I already have a family."
Without waiting for the other party to finish his words, Wansui explained calmly.
Looking at Xylitol standing next to him, who was equally unmoved, it was obvious that this was not the first time that he had been misunderstood like this.
"Uh, yes, is that so? Ahahaha..."
The expression on her face was obviously a little dazed, and after a while the girl scratched the back of her head in embarrassment.
Although Luo Shiyin felt a little helpless about this, she didn't care much about it.
After all, with her current body shape, it is normal for people to mistake her for a child. If she meets someone who comes up and says that she is a legal loli, that would be a big problem.
But compared to these, Luo Shiyin is now more aware of the performance of the old boatmen at the dock - those middle-aged men, whose average age is probably over fifty, all showed surprise on their faces after seeing the girl walking out of the cabin.
Afterwards, as if they had seen something unclean, they all stood up and walked away. Uncomfortable words such as "disaster", "witch", and "bad luck" could be vaguely heard.
At the door of the cabin, the girl had obviously heard those words, and her expression became a little unnatural, but she still managed to laugh at the few people:
"So, can we go now?"
"Well, let's go. There is a big black stone wall on the edge of the Golden Coastline. Do you know that place?"
Taking his eyes away from the old boatman who was leaving, Luo Shiyin spoke casually.
However, when the girl heard her words, she was stunned, and then her face quickly turned pale, and even her wheat-like skin color could not hide it.
Chapter 77 - Philanthropy
"Hmm? What's wrong? What's the problem?"
The change in the girl's facial expression was so obvious that Luo Shiyin naturally could not have failed to notice it.
However, the girl did not intend to answer this question directly, but just smiled reluctantly:
"No, nothing, I just got blinded by the sunlight. I know the place you're talking about, I'll take you there now."
Having said this, the girl turned around and walked towards the cab. Her steps were much faster than when she came out before, as if she was hiding from something.
Looking at the other person's back, Luo Shiyin couldn't help but raise her brows slightly.
At this time, Xylitol also came to her side and looked in the direction the girl left.
"So, you were bullying girls again?"
"What do you mean by bullying? I was just playing friendly games with girls, and... I just started talking about this."
Moving his eyes away from the hatch of the cockpit, Luo Shiyin responded casually and looked towards where Wansui was.
Noticing his gaze, Wansui, with his dead eyes, blew out an almost perfect smoke ring, and then said in a calm tone:
"It's very difficult to rent a yacht during this period. Some capable boat owners don't have time at all. I originally wanted to see if anyone could refund the money at this time, but the girl took the initiative to find me."
"I checked it later. This ship is legal and has all the necessary formalities. There will be no problem controlling a yacht."
"Well... since there's no problem, let's just ignore it for now."
Turning her head to look at the closed cockpit door again, Luo Shiyin simply stopped thinking about it - she had set aside today specifically to accompany Luo Xue, and it would not be convenient for her to look for other girls.
The other two naturally wouldn't mind this.
As an absolute pragmatist, Wansui doesn't care about anything as long as it doesn't affect his actions, even if the one driving the boat is a talking tentacle monster; and Xylitol is no different in her eyes unless she meets someone she is interested in.
The yacht sped across the blue sea, leaving two long trails behind.
Standing on the edge of the deck, Luo Xue held the railing with both hands and opened her mouth wide, feeling the sea breeze blowing across her mouth, her eyes shining.
