"Xia Lan, disengage armor!"
The battle was over. The Xia Lan Mecha began reverting to liquid form and withdrew into the pendant on his chest. In the blink of an eye, Lin Xiao himself appeared before everyone.
"Qi Lin, come on, let's go tidy up the room!"
Lin Xiao waved at Qi Lin. Ignoring Qiang Wei lying on the ground, he headed into the dormitory on his own.
Qiang Wei had tried to kick him in the balls just now. He still remembered that, so there was no way he was helping her up.
"Okay!"
Qi Lin waved at Crow, pointed at Qiang Wei, then followed Lin Xiao inside.
Having received the signal, Crow first had Water Chicken take the luggage to the dormitory before running over to Qiang Wei.
"Sister Qiang Wei, should we take you to the infirmary?"
"No need. I'm fine!"
Qiang Wei pushed away Crow's outstretched hand, struggled to her feet, and headed toward the dormitory.
"Sister Qiang Wei, you should still get checked out!"
Crow said worriedly. Although the two had only exchanged a few moves, the fight had looked intense to him.
"I'm really fine. Go do your own thing!"
"Okay."
Crow watched Qiang Wei stubbornly make her way toward the dormitory and could only sigh helplessly.
"Qi Lin, these beds are pretty big. Which one should we pick?"
Looking at the four large beds in the dormitory, Lin Xiao hesitated. He could be casual about anything else, but never about sleep.
When he had been alone before, he could make do. But now, not only did he need a girl beside him, the bed had to be comfortable too.
"Just pick one. You're such a picky grown man. And besides, we'll each sleep in our own bed!"
Qi Lin's face reddened slightly. Lin Xiao was a bastard. It was bad enough that he took advantage of her every day, but he always stopped short and never crossed the line.
Qi Lin even wondered whether this guy was really a man. They slept together every day, and she was starting to have thoughts about it, yet Lin Xiao remained completely unmoved.
"Don't. I can't sleep unless I'm holding you. Who told you to smell so good?"
"You bastard. Don't you ever consider our feelings or reputations?"
That asshole Lin Xiao was infuriating. He always did whatever he wanted. She was not a body pillow. How could she sleep soundly with a grown man beside her?
"Consider what? Just keep being my assistant. You have super genes anyway, so we'll find a way to upgrade you. Stay my assistant forever. Let those mortals talk all they want. At most, they'll only live a few decades."
"Hmph, who wants to be your assistant forever? You don't seem to have super genes either. A few decades is enough for me."
Qi Lin stopped abruptly as she spoke, a trace of melancholy rising in her heart. Without super genes, Lin Xiao really could only live for a few decades.
"Haha, don't worry. I won't die. I'm a great scientist. What problem can't I solve?"
"Doing no experiments is so boring. Lie down with me for a while!"
In a good mood, Lin Xiao directly pounced on Qi Lin and pressed her onto the bed. He wrapped an arm around her slender waist. Her faint fragrance was soothing and intoxicating.
"You really... you really treat me like a body pillow!"
"How could I? You're my exclusive sleeping bag!"
"Fuck."
Qi Lin actually cursed. So no matter what, he still did not see her as a person. Why did she not want to resist at all?
Qi Lin screamed wildly in her heart, telling herself to push him away, beat him up viciously, throw her military uniform in his face, and tell him that she was done serving him and was going back to being a little police officer.
Unfortunately, those cries from her heart seemed never to reach her body and turn into action.
Her body told her that this felt comfortable, that she was enjoying it, that she wanted to stay in this embrace forever and never part.
Click!
The door opened. Qiang Wei weakly pushed it open, but the instant she entered, she froze.
"You... you two, what are you doing in broad daylight?"
Seeing the two of them embracing each other on the bed, Qiang Wei could hardly believe it. Were they fooling around in the middle of the day?
"Hey, Little Sister Qiang Wei, want to lie down with us? We've been busy all morning. Isn't it time for an afternoon nap?"
Hearing Qiang Wei's words, Lin Xiao opened his eyes and raised a hand in greeting.
Qi Lin had thought Qiang Wei would go to the infirmary for treatment. Who would have expected her to come straight back?
Now that someone had caught them, Qi Lin's face was burning red. She simply buried her head in Lin Xiao's chest and played the part of a timid little ostrich.
"N-no need. I'll be leaving soon."
Qiang Wei quickly came to her senses. She had been letting her imagination run wild. Their clothes were perfectly intact, so they clearly had not done anything.
But were these two a couple? Why did they have to sleep together? Qi Lin seemed to be nothing more than Lin Xiao's adjutant.
Qiang Wei was thoroughly confused by their relationship. Qi Lin, Lian Feng, and Lin Xiao had a messy relationship. In any case, she did not understand it, and it even felt a little strange.
Still, it had nothing to do with her. Whether they were superior and subordinate or trapped in a love triangle, once she put aside her curiosity, it was no longer interesting.
Qiang Wei shook her head, walked to her locker, and began packing her things.
"What's Little Sister Qiang Wei doing? Going out on a mission?"
"Packing up and moving somewhere else. I only said you could stay here if you won. I never said I would stay here too."
"Fine."
If she wanted to leave, she could leave. It was actually a good thing for him. Life would be much more convenient.
Qiang Wei was Du Kao's daughter, so he had to be somewhat careful around her. He really could not fool around too freely.
Watching Qiang Wei pack up her things, Lin Xiao stopped paying attention to her and held the shy Qi Lin as they took an afternoon nap.
The next day, Lin Xiao lay on the bed and pressed a button on his wristband.
A blue light shot out and formed a virtual screen. Lian Feng's figure soon appeared on it.
"Lian Feng, you've worked hard these past few days. How's the lab?"
"The lab is the same as ever. There haven't been any major breakthroughs. But those little bugs of yours are growing very quickly."
Lian Feng looked energetic on the screen. Perhaps it was because she had not needed to attend to Lin Xiao these past few days and had gotten plenty of rest.
"What little bugs? They're a terrifying species. Make sure the protective measures are in place. Oh, right, personally go invite Zhao Xin. Then bring him to Super God Academy and prepare for that plan. The time is about right."
"Okay, I'll go right away! I'll bring those things with me too."
The moment Lian Feng heard it was that plan, her expression turned serious. It was a plan known only to Lin Xiao, Qi Lin, and herself.
When she had first heard about it, she had been utterly shocked. Yet she also felt an inexplicable anticipation. If it succeeded, they would become famous throughout the universe.
"Mm. Then I'll go pick up Ge Xiaolun. Don't keep him waiting too anxiously."
"Okay!"
The call ended. Lian Feng vanished from the screen, and Lin Xiao put it away before looking at Qi Lin, who was constantly trying on clothes in front of the mirror.
"Qi Lin, hurry up. We're almost late. That police uniform of yours is pretty good."
Lin Xiao was baffled. It had nearly been an hour, yet Qi Lin was still trying on clothes. Women really could be terrifying sometimes.
If he had known, he would not have let her use the supplementary card without limits. The moment she had money, she bought everything she had once liked but could not afford.
She had piles of clothes and bags, though she had not bought much makeup. Qi Lin had been optimized by the God River Gene and was already gorgeous enough to seem as though she glowed. If she put on makeup too, how were other women supposed to survive?
"Almost done. Stop rushing me. Let that loser wait a little longer. Besides, weren't you the one who told me to dress prettier?"
Fine, Lin Xiao covered his face. He really had said that. He had been thinking that if anything unexpected happened while inviting Ge Xiaolun, he could imitate Qiang Wei and have Qi Lin act as bait or something.
Lin Xiao was helpless. Since it was his own mess, he had to see it through. After another half hour, Qi Lin finally finished.
What made Lin Xiao want to cough up blood was that Qi Lin ultimately put on her police uniform anyway, with a white lab coat over it.
Qi Lin was beautiful and had a great figure, so she looked good in anything. Especially that police uniform, which showed off her figure perfectly. And the allure of a uniform came with its own bonus.
It was just that the white lab coat over it made Lin Xiao feel a little strange. Still, he did not care anymore. Leaving immediately was what mattered.
This time, they took a helicopter to Giant Hero City. Crow and Water Chicken accompanied them, both dressed in black suits and sunglasses, making them look like men in black.
Lin Xiao had gotten up at eight in the morning, but by the time they arrived in Giant Hero City, it was already past ten.
Lin Xiao hurriedly urged Crow to drive faster toward their destination, Xia Gu Rou Qing Bar. Being late even when recruiting a little brother made him feel utterly embarrassed.
The climax was coming!!!
