The next day, whether they were angels stationed in Heavenly City, angels carrying out missions elsewhere, or retired angels, they all received the same order—
Find a boy named Su Bai and a girl named Qilin.
The accompanying information also clearly included images of the two.
The angels could not help feeling curious:
Who exactly were these two? What could have made Queen Keisha issue such a massive search order?
And what was the person responsible for stirring up such a commotion among the angels doing right now?
"In any case, don't open the door for anyone before I get back. Got it?"
Qilin earnestly reminded Su Bai, who was chewing on a steamed bun in front of her, one word at a time.
"Mm-hmm! Don't worry, Qilin. This little thing won't stump me!" Su Bai said confidently.
"Good, Xia... I believe in you, little brother Su Bai." Qilin nearly blurted out the nickname "Xiaobai" from the video, but thankfully corrected 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—before opening the door, always check through the peephole first, and only take the food after they've left!" Qilin walked to the door, then turned back and reminded him again, still somewhat uneasy.
"Okay! Have a safe trip, Qilin. I'll wait at home for you~" Su Bai waved at her with a smile.
Hearing this exchange, which sounded just like a lover seeing his wife off, Qilin's ears reddened slightly, and her voice softened as well.
"Mm... I'll come back early."
Qilin closed the door, and her footsteps gradually faded away.
Su Bai sat at the dining table, slowly finished the last bite of his steamed bun, and drained the milk in his cup.
He stared blankly at the empty plate for a while, then stood up and imitated what Qilin had done the previous day, carrying the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen sink.
—Then he stood there, falling into a new quandary.
Should he... wash them?
Xiao Xue's glowing orb appeared beside his shoulder and flashed helplessly once.
"Leave them there. We'll deal with them when she gets back."
"Oh." Su Bai readily followed her advice and wandered back into the living room.
He sat on the sofa for a while, then stood and walked to the window.
The curtains were pulled open a crack, letting the morning light in. Pedestrians and vehicles occasionally passed below.
Everything was perfectly ordinary.
"All right. It's a new day, so I'll write my Diary first."
Seeing him stand by the window "seriously," as if he were watching ants move house and truly intended to do so all day, Xiao Xue reminded him helplessly, "Restore your soul sooner so I can slack off sooner too."
"Oh, okay." Su Bai obediently nodded, then tilted his head. "But, Xiao Xue... why do you want to 'slack off'? Fish are slippery, and after touching them, your hands get sticky. It doesn't feel good at all."
Xiao Xue silently repeated in her heart: Don't get angry. Don't argue with an idiot...
"I like it," she answered flatly.
Although Su Bai thought Xiao Xue was acting a little strange, he did not ask any further questions and obediently began writing his Diary.
Qilin, who was on her way to the Police Station
Keisha, who was sitting on her throne and waiting for the angels' reports
Rui Mengmeng, who was wiping tables in a restaurant
And Hexi, who was using the Heavenly Foundation Computing Group in the laboratory, trying to derive a data model based on the Resonator's behavior from the previous day and the information about Resonators that Xiao Xue had described
It was obvious, however, that Hexi was destined to gain nothing.
But the sudden update of the Diary made her abandon the idea of continuing the calculations.
Regardless of anything else, she would read the Diary first.
However, today's "audience" consisted of more than just the four of them.
After receiving the order, Azhui had been searching the planets of the Chiwu Star System one by one. She stopped in her tracks and stared in confusion at the Diary that had suddenly appeared in her arms.
Angel Yan had just returned from a mission and was about to report to Keisha when she saw a flash of light. Then, some kind of presence directly entered her consciousness.
She instinctively summoned her Flame Sword and entered a combat stance—
But after looking around, she saw only Queen Keisha on the throne, gazing at her with an indescribable expression.
Fei Leize Star
Zhixin, who was carrying out the mission to observe Enixide, paused slightly.
Earth · An apartment
Su Xiaoli had just woken up. In a daze, she looked at the notebook that had suddenly appeared beside her pillow and rubbed her eyes.
[Qilin went to work. Now it's just Xiao Xue and me at home.]
[Qilin treats me very well—she bought me steamed buns this morning and said she would have someone deliver lunch at noon.]
[I like Qilin.]
Thump, thump.
Qilin was driving when she suddenly felt her heartbeat speed up uncontrollably by several beats.
Although she knew perfectly well that the "like" Su Bai spoke of had nothing to do with romantic feelings between a man and a woman, and was merely the most straightforward dependence and affection...
She still could not stop her ears from heating up.
—That's really unfair.
[Xiao Xue has such a strange hobby. She actually likes slacking off. Fish are slippery, and after touching them, your hands get sticky. It doesn't feel good at all.]
The women reading this could not help twitching slightly at the corners of their mouths.
This child... did he misunderstand "slacking off"?
[Xiao Xue said that I can protect myself now. As long as the "External Brain" is here, I don't need to fear those people from Super Seminary.]
[I only need to watch out for that alternative freak Morgana and that sly old fox Carl.]
[Then can I go out and look for something delicious to eat?]
Qilin's heart jolted—
No!
Su Bai was innocent-minded right now. Even with Xiao Xue by his side, she was still only a system that could not materialize.
What if... someone abducted him?
[...I'd better not. I promised Qilin I'd watch the house properly. I'll wait until she gets back.]
Qilin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The corners of her lips lifted unconsciously.
—Since you're being so well-behaved, I'll take you to Snack Street tonight and let you eat until you're full.
[Xiao Xue said that more people can see the Diary today, so she asked me to say hello to everyone.]
[It's strange... I don't even know them.]
[Angel Zhui, Angel Yan, Angel Zhixin, and Su Xiaoli, hello. My name is Su Bai, and I'm a transmigrator. You can read yesterday's entries for the details.]
The four women whose names had been called reacted in entirely different ways—
Angel Zhui: This child... why does he seem a little slow?
Angel Yan: Kid, this Diary suddenly barged into my mind and made me draw my sword in front of the Queen. Your big sister here remembers that debt~ I'll definitely "repay" you properly.
Angel Zhixin tilted her head: What a polite person. Hello, Su Bai. My name is Angel Zhixin.
Axial War God Zhixin
(The adorably clueless Zhixin seemed not to realize that the Diary could not transmit thoughts...)
Su Xiaoli: Mm~ What a pure little brother! I wonder if he's handsome, and whether he has money... This Diary is amazing too!
[I discovered a secret.]
As soon as these words appeared, all the women who were reading unconsciously held their breath.
—What exactly did Su Bai discover?
