Thank you for the invitation. I am in Terra, just under the stars.

In the past few days, she had not taken a step out of the tavern.

Zhou Cheng waved his hand and asked with a relaxed look:

"This is just a small matter. I'm more curious about how your team members died?"

He felt very strange, how could the doctor let W lead the team?

W's leadership ability cannot be said to be completely useless, it can only be said to be of little use.Just look at her resume and you will know that she has led a team several times, but her subordinates have not been spared.

W's fighting style is too unrestrained. Once a battle occurs, it is difficult for ordinary people to follow her thinking, and it is easy for the team to become disconnected, which is very fatal.

Upon hearing this question, W's mouth twitched, he took a sip of fruit wine, and said with some embarrassment:

"I said they died because the stove they were eating in exploded. Do you believe it?"

"I believe."

"Hey, let me tell you first, it really wasn't me who did it?"

"Say this, it will make people feel that you are guilty."

"Well, I just, after all, they died in the explosion, right?"

Obviously knowing that Zhou Cheng has similar abilities to Theresia, W was explaining in a panic.

Whatever she did was hers, and if it wasn't, it wasn't. She didn't want to be misunderstood by someone who was willing to get close to her.

"Ah."

Zhou Cheng laughed, raised his hand and touched W's head. The skillful movements were quite gentle, and it was a superb technique that even Sylvie could praise.

The white hair shone in the dim light, and the slight panic on the Sakaz girl's face quickly disappeared.

She curled her lips in displeasure at first, then got a little discouraged, and continued with a sullen expression:

"I seemed to see a familiar figure at that time. After chasing him out, I found that it was not someone I knew, and then the barbecue restaurant behind him exploded with a bang.

"Originally, a few Sakaz mercenaries were not conspicuous here, but the explosion made me discovered."

Moreover, it seems that the explosion was blamed on her.

Before coming to Watch City, she specifically asked Babel to buy a mobile phone for her. One of the wanted crimes against her on the Emerald City's LAN was 'BBQ restaurant explosion'.

Zhou Cheng said thoughtfully:

"Who did you see?"

"The person I know in Babel is a very powerful sniper named Scout."

Mentioning that person, W's face showed rare praise and he said:

"I think he is the most valuable warrior in the Tower of Babel, and he might become the hero in the next Sakaz story."

When he heard that name, Zhou Cheng changed from thoughtful to really thinking.

Such a way of death is too childish and too coincidental. Why did W explode after being lured away by someone suspected of being Scout?

Also, the doctor abnormally asked W to lead the team. Even if her expertise is needed, there is no need to be the team leader.

Is there a possibility that all this was expected by the doctor, and that Scout is also a real Scout?

"Huh? Did you think of anything?"

W's voice brought Zhou Cheng back to his senses.

He smiled and said:

“It occurred to me that this high chair was uncomfortable to sit on.

"There's a gap between the chairs, which makes it inconvenient for me to put my arm around your shoulders."

As he spoke, he came closer, pressed his face against W's, and rubbed against her.

Although it lacks maintenance, it is still smooth and tender because of its youth, so it is very comfortable to rub.

"Well--"

W's expression was distorted by him, he raised his eyebrows, pushed his face away with his hand, and shouted:

"Hey, don't be too pushy! You guy!".

PS: After sleeping for more than five hours, I still feel a little confused. I always feel that something is wrong with what I wrote, but I can’t find it.

122. The peace of mind and emotion that W feels

"Is this going too far? I'm just getting close to you naturally."

Zhou Cheng, who was smiling, left his seat, walked around the bar, took down a few bottles of low-alcohol wine from the counter, unscrewed the caps and poured them into his own cup.

He didn't know the brands of these wines, and he didn't know anything about bartending either, so he just followed the rules.

After mixing blue, yellow, and red fruit wine together, Zhou Cheng sighed:

"Think about it, who else in this world would treat you like this except me? If you reject me, wouldn't that be... too pitiful?"

"Hmm—"

W was holding his face with his hands. When he heard this sentence, he immediately smiled disdainfully and wanted to retort with "I don't know how much such closeness can be achieved once you take off your clothes."

But as soon as the sound came out, she shut her mouth angrily.

The two things were completely different, she could feel it.

although,

Zhou Cheng didn't give her the pure closeness that Theresa did, but he was also the only person in the world who cared about her.

The expression on the girl's face softened. She lay on the table and buried her chin in her arms. She looked at Zhou Cheng with an unpredictable look, who frowned after taking a sip of the wine she mixed.

Pour away, add ice, and remix.

Seeing him doing this seriously, like a professional bartender, the corners of W's mouth raised slightly.

She actually likes Zhou Cheng, but it's not a crush, but similar to Theresia.

The source of such goodwill is very simple, because they are in high positions but they care about themselves and a Sakaz man whose life is in vain.

Top-down kindness is always more likely to be favored by others, especially when it is not a form of charity.

Theresia loves everyone equally, while Zhou Cheng is closer to his deceased mother and wants to be loved by her family.

From this aspect, Zhou Cheng actually holds more weight in her heart than Theresia, but this kind of overly close emotion is too burning for a Sakaz man who has lost his family since childhood and struggled on this land. Head.

It even made her, who had been numb all this time, feel a tingling feeling about her past life.It was light at first, but the more I thought about it, the more it stung.

It seems that everything has been meaningless, and the struggles and betrayals I have experienced are just a paragraph in a book, and there is no need to describe it in detail.

"...Tsk."

W buried his face in his arms.

There is no doubt that she is looking forward to the future proposed by Zhou Cheng, but it is too beautiful, too beautiful to be true, and it creates too strong a sense of separation from the paleness she has always had before, which makes her retreat.

She felt a little regretful, but she didn't care deeply about it. After all, she had never seen it with her own eyes, so she could still lie to herself to remain numb for the time being.

Until he was forced to make an attempt due to the situation of being trapped in the city, and then at the appointed time, he saw the man pushing the door open and coming in exactly one second.

The moment I saw him, the previous anxiety suddenly disappeared. Even if he was alone, it brought me more peace of mind than standing on the land speeder in the Tower of Babel.

"..."

"Want to drink?"

A cup was placed in front of me,

W raised his head and saw through the glass that there were bubbles inside, emitting dense purple mango fruit wine like it was radiating.

He tilted his head slightly, looked around the cup and looked behind him. The man was sitting behind the bar, with a smile always on his handsome face.

"..."

W had never seen her father, but she thought that according to those who had fathers, their fathers were able to protect themselves from wind and rain and would feel at ease just by seeing him. Zhou Cheng seemed a bit like him.

Although he is not the tallest among the Sakaz people, he is like a towering mountain. Just seeing his anxious heart will become peaceful.

The girl stood up, picked up the cup and took a sip, not minding that it was something he had used.

What flowed into the mouth was a sweet and sour liquid, more like juice than wine.

When it slides through the throat and enters the stomach, a clear and refreshing feeling arises spontaneously.

"Hmm...it tastes good. How many times have you tried it?"

Zhou Cheng smiled without saying anything and raised three fingers.

After trying it three times, he found that the wine he mixed tasted strange, as if fermented bean curd had been added, so he simply took a bottle of wine and soaked it with spiritual energy.

W didn’t know, and thought he had really created this smell just three times, and sighed:

"Maybe you are very talented in this area."

Her green lips were slightly parted, and she held the mouth of the cup in her mouth. She drank half the cup slowly and slowly, and her lips were moistened.

Seeing that Zhou Cheng wanted to taste some, he chuckled and said:

"Maybe, this is my first time mixing wine for you."

"Um, should I say, I'm honored?"

"No, you should feel happy."

"what?"

Looking at the man's natural expression, W subconsciously wanted to say something to him, but soon his expression softened and he whispered:

"...This is also the first time I drink something made for me by someone else."

"Did you mix the wine before?"

The white-haired Sakaz girl showed a smile that looked confident and proud but actually concealed guilt and anxiety, and said:

"Yes, I studied it all night. It should taste good, right?"

"Very good, but..."

W's heart was lifted up again after he had just put it down, and he stared at Zhou Cheng closely.

He reached out his hand and caressed the girl's cheek, looked at her, and said seriously:

"You had another, more delicious wine that you didn't give me."

She blinked, confused.

liquor?What wine?How come you've learned to imitate the Riddler?

Just as she was wondering, she noticed that Zhou Cheng's gaze was slowly moving downward, not too much, and it stopped at her lips.

...lips?

Could it be...! ?

The moment I understood this hint, the image of that night popped up in my mind unexpectedly, making my heart beat faster, as if there was an Alina running around inside.

Unlike saying it outright, letting the other party figure it out by hinting at that moment of unexpected impact will have a better effect.

Now, this girl who should have been tainted with the smell of war and gunpowder smoke has completely washed away those smells. The fair and delicate skin on her cheeks has begun to show ruddy color, and the orange-red in her eyes is also swaying under the dim light.

She bit her moist cherry lips lightly, like an ordinary young girl, her eyes wandered at first, then slowly raised her head to look into the person's eyes.

She wanted to use the same ferocious courage as the forced kiss that night, but in the end there was a charming twinkle in her eyes.

W is at an age where he is most impulsive.

If she had not met Theresia and Zhou Cheng, she could have remained numb and would not have had any thoughts about the opposite sex during adolescence in a high-pressure environment.

However, they made her, who had never felt "love", experience a little bit of it. It was an emotion that fascinated people and made people want to get close to it unconsciously.

As soon as she leaves that kind of 'love', the emptiness and numbness that used to be insignificant will eat away at her heart and soul, eating a transparent hole in it.

It has become an addiction for her,

She experienced it when her mother was alive, and then she was suppressed for more than ten years in order to survive.

The last time, she was afraid because of the unfamiliar brilliance bursting out of the suppressed mouth, and when she understood it, she began to regret it.

And now, that regret is also pushing her heart, forcing the girl who can no longer bear it to move forward.

The white-haired girl slowly stood up, her beautiful figure crossed the bar, and approached under the dim light.
