Zhixin: "Hello Su Bai, my name is Zhixin"

Chapter 10: Zhixin: "Su Bai, hello. I am Zhixin."

The next day, every angel—whether stationed in Heavenly City, out on a mission, or already retired—received the same directive: find a young man named Su Bai and a girl named Qilin. The attached information clearly included images of the two. Curiosity inevitably stirred in the hearts of the angels: who were these two, to warrant a search mission of this scale ordered by Queen Keisha? And what were the parties who had caused such a commotion among the angels doing right now?

"In short, before I come back, don't open the Gate of Opening for anyone, got it?" Qilin said, word by word, to Su Bai, who was earnestly gnawing on a steamed bun in front of her.

"Mm-hmm! Don't worry, Qilin. A little thing like this can't stump me!" Su Bai said with a confident look.

"Good, little... I believe in you, Su Bai." Qilin almost blurted out the nickname "Xiao Bai" from the video, but managed to correct herself in time. Su Bai naturally noticed nothing unusual.

"Then I'm off to work. I'll have someone deliver lunch to the door. Remember—check through the peephole first before opening, and only take it after they've left!" Qilin said at the door, still turning back with some unease to remind him.

"Okay! Safe travels, Qilin. I'll be waiting for you at home~" Su Bai smiled and waved at her.

Hearing this exchange, like a lover seeing off his wife, Qilin's ears flushed slightly red, and her tone softened a few degrees: "Mm... I'll be back early."

Qilin closed the door, and her footsteps gradually faded away. Su Bai sat at the dining table, slowly finishing the last bite of his bun and drinking the last of his milk. He stared at the empty plate for a moment, then stood up, imitating Qilin from yesterday, and put the dishes into the kitchen sink. Then he stood there, falling into a new confusion: should he... wash them?

Xiao Xue's light cluster appeared on his shoulder and flickered helplessly. "Leave them. Wait until she gets back."

"Oh." Su Bai complied readily, turned around, and wandered back to the living room. He sat on the sofa for a while, then stood up and walked to the window. He pulled the curtain open a crack; morning light streamed in, and occasionally pedestrians or vehicles passed by downstairs. Everything was very ordinary.

"Alright, new day. Let's write the Diary first." Seeing him stand by the window with such "earnest" focus, as if observing ants moving their nest, and seemingly planning to watch all day, Xiao Xue reminded him helplessly, "Recover your soul faster, so I can slack off sooner."

"Oh, okay." Su Bai obediently nodded, but then tilted his head. "But Xiao Xue... why 'slack off'? Fish are slippery, and touching them leaves your hands sticky—not comfortable at all."

Xiao Xue silently repeated in her heart: Don't get angry, don't argue with an idiot... "I like it," she replied dryly.

Although Su Bai thought Xiao Xue was a bit strange, he didn't ask further and obediently started writing his Diary.

Qilin was on her way to the Police Station. Keisha sat on her throne, waiting for an angel's report. Rui Mengmeng was wiping tables in a restaurant. And in the lab, Hexi was using the Heavenly Foundation Computing Group to try and deduce a data model based on some information about the Resonator's performance from yesterday and the settings Xiao Xue had described. But it was clear Hexi was destined to gain nothing. However, the Diary's sudden update made her set aside the idea of continuing her deductions. Forget everything else—read the Diary first.

But today's "audience" was not limited to the four of them. Azhui, who had received the order and was searching star by star in the Chi Wu Star System, stopped in her tracks, staring at the Diary that had suddenly appeared in her arms, her eyes full of confusion. Angel Yan, who had just returned from a mission and was about to report to Keisha, felt a flash of light, and then something directly merged into her consciousness. She instinctively summoned her Flame Sword and entered a combat stance—but looking around, there was only Queen Keisha on her throne, watching her with an indescribable expression.

On Fei Leize Star, Zhixin, who was carrying out the observation mission of Enixide, paused slightly in her movements.

Earth, a certain apartment. Su Xiaoli, just waking up, groggily rubbed her eyes at the notebook that had suddenly appeared beside her pillow.

[Qilin went to work, so it's just me and Xiao Xue at home.]

[Qilin is very good to me—she bought me steamed buns this morning and said she'll have someone deliver lunch at noon.]

[I Like Qilin]

Thump.

Qilin, who was driving, felt her heartbeat uncontrollably quicken a few beats.

Although she knew full well that the "like" Su Bai spoke of wasn't romantic love, just the purest, most straightforward attachment and fondness...

She still couldn't help her ears burning.

—It was really too unfair.

[Xiao Xue has a really weird hobby, she actually likes touching fish. Fish are slippery, and your hands get sticky after touching them, not comfortable at all.]

Reading this, the women couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

This kid... did he misunderstand what "touching fish" meant?

[Xiao Xue said that I already have the ability to protect myself now, as long as the "External Brain" is here, I don't need to be afraid of those people from Super Seminary.]

[I just need to be careful of that non-mainstream Morgana, and that sneaky Cal.]

[So can I go out and look for good food now?]

Qilin's heart suddenly leaped—

No way!

Su Bai's mind was simple now, even with Xiao Xue by his side, she was just a system that couldn't materialize.

What if... someone lured him away?

[...Never mind. I promised Qilin I'd take good care of the house, I'll wait until she comes back.]

Qilin quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The corners of her mouth unconsciously lifted.

—Since you're being so good, I'll take you to Snack Street tonight and let you eat your fill.

[Xiao Xue said that more people can see the diary today, and told me to say hello to everyone.]

[It's so strange... I don't even know them.]

[Angel Zhui, Angel Yan, Angel Zhixin, and Su Xiaoli, hello. My name is Su Bai, I'm a transmigrator. For details, you can check yesterday's records.]

The four women whose names were called had different reactions—

Angel Zhui: This kid... why does he seem a bit slow?

Angel Yan: Little boy, this diary suddenly barged into my head, making me draw my sword in front of the Queen... Big sister here remembers that~ I'll definitely "repay" you properly.

Angel Zhixin (tilting her head): What a polite person. Hello, Su Bai, my name is Angel Zhixin.

Axial War God Zhixin

(The naive Zhixin didn't seem to realize that the diary didn't have the function of conveying thoughts...)

Su Xiaoli: Hmm~ What a pure little brother! I just wonder if he's handsome, if he's rich... This diary is amazing too!

[I discovered a secret.]

As soon as this sentence came out, all the women reading involuntarily held their breath.

—What exactly... did Su Bai discover?
