Xue Mo Yin nodded in agreement. Both of them were doing pretty well, the only thing they lacked was practical experience. But that could only be gained during missions. He didn’t want to reveal their true abilities in this world, because Love Apartment was their base. Exposing themselves here would cause them a lot of trouble in their future lives.
Knowing that their next mission was about to be assigned, Xue Mo Yin and the others put away their playful attitudes and started training seriously these past few days.
The others in the apartment were aware of their unusual behavior. Zeng Teacher was unwilling to take risks, he was more concerned about his idol career. Guan Gu, who had only recently arrived, was clueless about the whole adventure thing. He thought they were just busy with work, so he wasn’t very concerned.
Except for Zhan Bo. He had a strong sense of adventure and had been trying to get Xue Mo Yin to take him along for the past few days.
After training, Xue Mo Yin and Yi Fei went out for dinner and came back a little late. When they got to the apartment, they discovered that the elevator was under maintenance. They had no choice but to climb the stairs, thankfully they only lived on the third floor.
As they reached the second floor, Hu Yi Fei suddenly pulled Xue Mo Yin aside, hiding behind the wall. This startled Xue Mo Yin, he thought something had happened. He looked up and saw Zhan Bo and Wan Yu standing by the elevator.
He gave Yi Fei a light slap on the back, bewildered. Zhan Bo was persistent, but why was Yi Fei so excited?
“Uh, Wan Yu, are you free tomorrow? I have two movie tickets, how about we go see a movie together tomorrow?” He was so nervous and flustered that Yi Fei wanted to step in and handle it herself.
Wan Yu didn’t think much of it, she hadn’t gone to the movies in a long time. “Sure, is it a Hollywood blockbuster? What type of movie? Sci-fi or horror?”
Zhan Bo shook his head, “Neither, but it’s kind of similar, it’s a Russian blockbuster.”
Wan Yu tilted her head, curiously, “Really? Are they releasing any big movies lately?”
“Of course! The latest educational blockbuster, “Exploring Life on Saturn”, is really interesting! Let’s go see it together tomorrow.” Zhan Bo even started making all sorts of weird gestures as he spoke.
Even Xue Mo Yin felt a wave of awkwardness. As for Hu Yi Fei, she was furious. She couldn’t believe her brother would do something so bizarre, who on earth would ask a girl to watch an educational documentary.
The most embarrassed one was definitely Wan Yu. She quickly waved her hand and said, “Oh, I suddenly remembered I have some things to take care of tomorrow. Let’s watch a movie next time.” Then she left, running away like she was escaping something.
Zhan Bo shouted behind her with disappointment, “How long do we have to wait for next time? The next satellite launch is in 2020!”
Seeing Wan Yu about to run towards the stairs, Xue Mo Yin quickly pulled Yi Fei, who was about to lose her mind, away from the scene. He almost burst out laughing, Zhan Bo’s abilities were truly consistent as always.
Back in 3601, Hu Yi Fei gulped down a glass of water and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. She had lost all hope for her brother’s emotional intelligence.
Zhan Bo came back a while later, his expression clearly showed three words: unhappy.
“What’s wrong? You seem upset?”
Zhan Bo said with a hint of grievance, “No, does my expression look unhappy?”
Hu Yi Fei was speechless. You’re basically wearing your thoughts on your face! “Come on, what happened?”
“Sis, brother-in-law. Do I seem unattractive?”
Xue Mo Yin thought for a moment and decided not to discourage the kid anymore, “Um, I think you look alright.”
Hearing Xue Mo Yin’s words, Zhan Bo got excited, “See? I told you, guys without appeal wouldn’t be able to do this?” He then laid down on the floor and imitated the swimming stroke.
“What kind of performance art is this?” Hu Yi Fei couldn’t take it anymore.
“I asked Wan Yu to watch a movie with me today, and got rejected twice.”
“Pfft!” Xue Mo Yin couldn’t help but spit out the water in his mouth. What was going on? Had he been rejected again? “Um, Zhan Bo, what kind of movies did you ask Wan Yu to watch?”
Zhan Bo said confidently, “One is a Russian blockbuster, “Exploring Life on Saturn”, the other one is “The Two Major Species on Earth – Humans and Cockroaches.”
“She should have gone with you.”
Hearing his sister’s approval, Zhan Bo nodded quickly, “Right? Right? I told you, she doesn’t know how hard it is to get tickets to these movies!”
Hu Yi Fei was finally furious, “I meant she should have gone with you to the hospital.”
Zhan Bo didn’t understand, “Why go to the hospital? I’m not lacking zinc, nor calcium.”
“You’re lacking brains! Lu Zhan Bo! Did your mom throw you away and raise the placenta instead when she gave birth to you? You don’t even know the name of the neighbors upstairs, yet you’re concerned about whether there is life on Saturn! You, you!”
Seeing Hu Yi Fei’s rage, Xue Mo Yin quickly pulled her over to sit down. He then remembered something and said to her, “What do you think of the one I brought back? We do have a way to make her human. With Zhan Bo’s situation, don’t even think about getting a bike.”
Hu Yi Fei thought about it seriously and nodded. She knew Xue Mo Yin was talking about Red Queen. If it were in the past, she wouldn’t agree, after all, it was just an AI. But now, she wasn’t hoping for any girl to fall for her brother.
Hearing their private conversation, Zhan Bo thought they were talking about the adventure, and suddenly got excited. He said excitedly, “Sis, are you going on an adventure? Can I come with you? I’m ready! I must go this time.”
Hu Yi Fei was already angry, and this made her even more furious, “You’re ready? Ready for what? Ready to go and die?”
The noise attracted others to the scene. Zhan Bo insisted, “I’m really ready. Sis, believe me, I’m going to surprise you this time!”
“Just because you watched those documentaries? Or those toys you have? Do you really think our adventure is some kind of child’s play?”
Guan Gu asked curiously, “What adventure?”
Zi Qiao explained from the side, “It’s like we’re going to explore and seek treasures in some unusual or legendary places. How about it? Interested?” Mo Yin had said that Guan Gu would be their teammate in the future, so it was fine for Zi Qiao to tell him about this.
“Wow! This is amazing! These experiences will definitely inspire my comics. Please take me with you, please!” Guan Gu exclaimed excitedly.
Xue Mo Yin asked, “Think carefully. Our adventures are always accompanied by danger. Have you thought it through?”
“Of course, a true warrior never fears danger.” Guan Gu took out his samurai sword from somewhere and answered seriously.
“Ok, have Zi Qiao take you to the training ground later. But forget this mission, you can join us on the next one.” Xue Mo Yin nodded in agreement. Guan Gu was one of the few reliable people in the apartment.
“Understood. I can draw some sketches during this time.”
Zhan Bo watched this scene and was dumbfounded, “Why? You agreed to Guan Gu’s request so easily, but not mine? I don’t care, I’m going!”
Before Xue Mo Yin could speak, Hu Yi Fei said, “You really want to go?”
“Of course!”
“Okay, go to the rooftop.”
Hearing Hu Yi Fei’s words, Xue Mo Yin pondered. Hu Yi Fei probably wanted him to try that hurdle he couldn’t overcome. But the current Zhan Bo…
Sure enough, when everyone reached the rooftop, Hu Yi Fei pointed to the opposite side and said to Zhan Bo, “If you’re really ready, then let me see your determination.”
