Ark girl won't like me

"Hong, do you want to go to the Gray Sea Desert with me on this mission?"

According to Kelsey's arrangement, Chen Yu will personally select the candidates for this mission.

For Chen Yu, this mission would not be difficult if he was the only one on his own. Even if he had to take someone with him, it wouldn't be a big trouble for him.

Please note that the person mentioned here is not an adventurer or a client, but a simple dragster - the kind who can do nothing but cheat his teammates.

If it were an adventurer like Magellan, it would be completely different.

After learning about the mission in detail with Kelsey, he declined Kelsey's proposal to send an entire team to assist him in the mission.

According to the final negotiation results, Chen Yu decided to only bring about 2 people.

This is to appease Kelsi, otherwise he would not want to take anyone with him - because it is not necessary.

"Grey Sea Desert?"

The big and smart eyes turned. Hong seemed to remember something. She blinked: "The desert is very dangerous. Hong goes to protect Chen Yu."

protect me?

Listening to Hong's lovely words, Chen Yu's heart trembled, and he smiled slightly.

"Okay, Hong, please protect me when the time comes."

"Hong protects Chen Yu!"

Hong twitched her pointed ears happily, her voice was like a golden harp.

The accompanying person has already identified one, and the next step is to find the other one.

As for who to look for, he already has someone in mind.

.......

Rhode Island is huge.

There are many operator dormitories here, as well as countless research rooms, and many other rooms used for daily training and treatment of operators.

In addition, at the top of Rhode Island, the shipboard that often hangs a few unlucky operators is even more exaggerated.

Chen Yu originally wanted to go to Rhine Life's laboratory to find Seria, but when he went there, he accidentally saw Seria on the shipboard through the corridor window.

Under the burgundy sunset, bathed in the crimson sunset, she looked into the distance, her crimson eyes under her long eyelashes showing a rare sadness.

Although he didn't know why Seria ran up to the ship and showed such an expression, Chen Yu still brought Hong to the ship.

The wind on the ship was very strong, and the cool wind blew Chen Yu's long hair, revealing a pair of dark and deep eyes, which were burning like flames under the afterglow of the setting sun.

At this time, Hong had already gotten off his back, following him step by step like a little girl following her parents.

It was dusk at this time, and the soft light fell on the ship deck, dyeing it a beautiful drunken color.

Stand on the edge of the ship.

The beautiful Vaifan woman looked at the desert in the distance.

Different from the tough and strong image she gave people in the past, Ceria's slender eyebrows were slightly bent, and her jewel-like crimson eyes revealed incomparable sadness.

Following her line of sight, she saw a picture with green grassland and golden desert as the background. There was a perfect dividing line between the two, like two worlds.

But under the crimson and soft dusk, these two worlds blend together perfectly.

Looking at this scene, Chen Yu understood.

Are you remembering the past?

Before joining Rhine Life, Seria participated in a scientific research expedition in the desert, but the results were not good.

The eight researchers who participated, except for Seria and another researcher, all died there, and among them, there was someone who had a good relationship with Seria—a woman named Aicilia. Liboli.

Although the report has confirmed that the missing Aicilia is dead, the stubborn Ceria does not think so.

In her opinion, her friend should still be alive.

But as time went by, Seria gradually gave up on this unrealistic idea.

Now, I must have just seen this desert and felt emotional about it.

Knowing that Seria was probably thinking about the past again, Chen Yu sighed in his heart and walked up with Hong.

"Ceria, why are you here?"

The familiar shout woke up the meditative Ceria. In less than a second, the sadness on her face disappeared, and she regained her former indifference.

But when he looked back, his cold expression softened.

"Chen Yu, you didn't go to Kelsi's place."

Without answering Chen Yu's question, Ceria pursed her lips and asked a question.

As if remembering something, she said with a smile in her eyes: "Or maybe you were kicked out by Kelsey again."

I remember one time she passed by the medical room where Kelxi was examining Chen Yu, and she saw Chen Yu being chased by Kelxi with a scalpel.

Whether it was previous contact or after joining Rhode Island, this was the first time she saw Kelsey lose her cool.

"Oh, I'm not a bad person. Kelsey has nothing to do with me. I just finished the inspection and came out with Hong to take a look at the scenery."

red?

Looking sideways at the wolf girl following Chen Yu, Ceria raised her eyebrows slightly.

Ceria had heard rumors about Hong, but this was the first time she saw her in person.

Thinking of those rumors she heard accidentally, Ceria couldn't help but look at Hong carefully.

Silver-gray hair, a red coat that doesn't suit the season, and a slightly childish but pretty face.

It seems to be just a little bigger than Ifrit, but Kurenai gives people a completely different feeling.

Cold and dangerous, like a wolf in the night.

Seemingly noticing Ceria's gaze, Hong glanced at her. Unlike the gaze he gave Chen Yu, Hong looked at her rather coldly.

The moment their eyes met, Ceria felt a chill in her heart and subconsciously showed a defensive posture.

But Hong only glanced at her and then looked away. When Ceria noticed Hong's gentle look at Chen Yu, she couldn't help but feel dumb.

Although he has lost his memory, Chen Yu seems to be able to eat anywhere.

Looking at the desert in the distance, Ceria pursed her lips and agreed: "The scenery today is indeed good."

If you put aside your personal mood and look at it from a distance from Rhode Island, at dusk, the scenery of desert and grassland that want to cut into each other but merge into each other is indeed beautiful.

Under the setting sun, both the yellow sand and the green grass were dyed with brilliant colors, as if they were covered with a layer of crimson gauze.

"Actually, I originally came to see the scenery, but now I see a better scenery."

Better view?

"It's you."

In Ceria's puzzled expression, Chen Yu smiled at her, and he swore as confidently as if he was saying that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

"It is said that beauty is as beautiful as a painting. Ceria, you are even more beautiful than a beauty. With such beautiful scenery like you, why should I look at the scenery?"

Celia: "..."

Are you complimenting her?

A hint of wine red appeared on her pretty face. Ceria couldn't help but glared at Chen Yu and said angrily: "When did you learn this kind of sweet talk? It's okay to deceive a little girl with your words, but it's terrible for me." It’s of no use.”

"Oh, how can this be rhetoric? This is my sincere words. If you don't believe me, look at my eyes. They are so sincere."

Afraid that Seria wouldn't believe it, Chen Yu pointed to his eyes sincerely.

When their eyes met, I felt that the dark eyes were as deep as the starry sky, and I couldn't help but let people be intoxicated. After just looking at each other for a few seconds, Ceria looked away unnaturally.

Wisps of burgundy crept onto her cheeks.

Just like a drunken face with slightly flushed cheeks and flushed cheeks, she is incredibly beautiful.

Since when did this guy become so good at coaxing girls?

While I was puzzled, I was unexpectedly a little happy.

Seria is quite cute when she is shy.

After staring at Seria for a while, until she frowned and pursed her lips, as if she was about to become angry, Chen Yu changed the subject in time.

"By the way, Ceria, I have something else to tell you."

"what?"

Seeing that Chen Yu finally stopped staring at her, Ceria breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down her mood that was a little messed up by Chen Yu. She raised her hand to smooth her white hair and looked at him strangely.

She said sternly: "Let's make a deal first. If you ask me to paint Ifrit's face, I will never do it."

Last time, this guy encouraged her to draw pictures on Ifrit's face, but when the instigation failed, he did it himself.

Forget it, after being discovered by Helmer, he shamelessly wanted to blame her for the incident.

Of course, Chen Yu's attempt to frame the blame must have failed. As for the outcome.

It's okay to run too fast.

The speed with which Chen Yu escaped that time was beyond the reach of Seria and the others.

Before Hemo could get angry, in just a blink of an eye, the guy ran away.

"Ahem, you're overthinking. Am I the kind of person who would encourage others to paint on other people's faces?"

Of course you are.

Glancing sideways at Chen Yu, Ceria's expression probably reflected these words.

"Oh, I'm looking for you this time for a serious matter. Let's discuss small things like painting Ifrit's face next time."

Pretending not to see the meaning in Seria's eyes, Chen Yu said with a serious face: "I have a mission to go to the Gray Sea Desert. I want you to be my escort and accompany me to the Gray Sea Desert."

That's right.

Chen Yu's second choice was Seria.

The reason is very simple. The scientific research expedition where Seria lost her friend happened in the Gray Sea Desert. After that, she went to the Gray Sea Desert several times. Although she returned without success each time, it also allowed her to accumulate I learned a lot of information about the Gray Sea Desert.

This point is recorded in Seria's private files. Kelsey will definitely feel more at ease with her.
