Pre-Collapse Civilization, My Wife is a Snake Oh

Klein looked back at Ling Xi, then took out his phone and said, "I've grabbed the three tickets you wanted. I'll send you the pickup code now. They're all VIP seats."

"Thanks, Senior Sister Klein!"

Ling Xi was instantly filled with admiration for Klein, looking incredibly impressed. "Senior Sister Klein, how did you manage it? I tried to get tickets last night too, but in the end, forget VIP seats, even the outermost Super VIP seats were gone in a second!"

"It's very simple..."

Klein just smiled faintly and calmly replied, "Technology changes lives!"

Ling Xi: "..." Is this what scientists are like? They're truly amazing.

"Ling Xi!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice called down from upstairs. Mobius stood at the top of the stairs, looking at Ling Xi with a hint of displeasure. "Did you go anywhere after work yesterday?"

"Huh?"

Ling Xi was taken aback. Did I go anywhere after work? That sounded like a wife checking up on her husband...

Upon hearing Mobius's question, Klein also instantly remembered something. Last night... Elysia had visited. Although she didn't know what they discussed privately behind closed doors, she had heard the beginning of their conversation, which included...

Elysia had said Ling Xi went to her place last night. And now that the Doctor was asking this question, it seemed like she was setting a trap for Ling Xi. If Ling Xi said he hadn't gone anywhere, he would likely be suspected of having some kind of relationship with Elysia. But if he answered truthfully...

"Yes, I did. After dinner, I ran into Elysia and went to her place for a while."

Ling Xi didn't hide anything. He had nothing to hide from Elysia, and being secretive would only make Mobius suspicious.

"Mmm hmm..."

Seeing that Ling Xi wasn't lying, Mobius felt a bit more reassured. After all, being able to admit it so openly suggested he had a clear conscience.

Thus, Mobius slowly walked down the stairs and said with a smile, "So, what did Elysia say to you?"

"What did she say..."

Ling Xi rubbed his chin, recalled for a moment, then shrugged and smiled. "Well, she said quite a lot, but I felt most of it was just pointless chatter."

"I completely agree with that!"

Mobius nodded emphatically. That brat always liked to talk a lot of nonsense.

"However, she did invite me to work for her. Of course, I refused."

Ling Xi blurted this out in one breath, afraid Mobius might misunderstand. At the same time, he earnestly stated that he had rejected Elysia's offer.

"Was that all?"

Mobius asked again.

"That was all."

Ling Xi nodded silently. As for the topic of Mobius's research, Ling Xi felt there was no need to mention it. After all, even if he did, Mobius would likely dismiss it as pointless chatter.

"Hmm..."

Mobius touched her chin with her hand and huffed, "Didn't I tell you? Stay away from that woman. From her mouth... you'll never hear a single true word!"

"Uh... I understand, Doctor."

Ling Xi felt helpless about this. He had actually intended to refuse yesterday, but then that girl pulled out the Lightning Thousand Paths move!

"I'll let it slide this time, but remember to avoid her in the future..."

Mobius pursed her lips and walked towards the laboratory room. Then, she suddenly turned back to look at Ling Xi. "If you go to Elysia's room again next time, don't come back. Also... when I have time, I'll show you my room too, hmph..."

With that, Mobius closed the door and disappeared into the laboratory...

Ling Xi: "..." Why would I want to see your room?

Klein: "..." Because Elysia visited last night...

"Seele!"

At noon, Ling Xi finally managed to corner Seele. Today was Friday, and the concert was the day after tomorrow. So, this noon was his last chance. If he didn't meet Seele today, he'd probably have to wait until Monday, and then there would be no point in going to the concert anymore.

Therefore, even though Ling Xi had no classes this morning, he still came to school and had been waiting at their usual spot since early on!

Seele: "..."

"Are you a stalker?"

Seele pouted at Ling Xi. "You've been following me for several days in a row."

Ling Xi: "..." Hey, hey, hey, don't accuse me without reason!

"What, have you thought of an excuse yet?"

Seele continued to look at Ling Xi with a cold expression.

"Seele, you might not believe me, but that day..."

Ling Xi said with a serious expression, "I was queuing for tickets. I originally wanted to notify you, but since I didn't have your contact information, that's why..."

"Queuing for tickets?"

Seele was taken aback, but she still said impatiently, "So, is that the reason why I sat in the garden from noon to 2 PM?"

"Pfft... cough, cough..."

Hearing Seele's words, Ling Xi choked directly and asked, "You... what did you say? You waited for me in the park for two hours?"

"Hmph... no."

Seele lifted her head and sneered, "I just habitually sit there to rest. Who do you think you are? Worth my waiting for two hours? Don't misunderstand, I just felt bored sitting in the dorm all day, so I wanted to find a different spot to sunbathe. You actually thought I was waiting for you? Heh, how ridiculous, trash!"

Ling Xi: "..." Is that... true? Why does it feel a bit unreliable?

Moreover, he returned to school around 1:20 PM the day before yesterday. That means if he had gone to the garden then, he could have found Seele. But...

He only went to the entrance of the bakery, and when he didn't see Seele, he naturally assumed she had left. Now that he thought about it, it would be strange for Seele to wait there. There were no places to rest around, nor any shaded spots. If Seele waited there for two hours, he himself would think she had problems with her IQ...

"Um, Seele... I'm sorry..."

Ling Xi suddenly felt a bit guilty. He had thought Seele was difficult to get along with before, but now it seemed this girl wasn't that cold at all. Instead, she was like... a Tsundere?

"No need for apologies. Just tell me what kind of ticket you bought. You even forgot about your own promise."

Seele waved her hand, not wanting to hear Ling Xi's apology. Relatively speaking, she was more curious about what Ling Xi had been doing that day.

"Hehe, actually, that's also why I came to find you today, Seele..."

Ling Xi directly took out the tickets he had personally collected earlier and handed one to Seele. "The day after tomorrow, let's go together!"

Chapter 45: Is it wrong to bring a friend on a date?

"This is?"

Looking at the ticket Ling Xi handed over, Seele took it. She also recognized it as a concert ticket, as it was written on it.

"Elysia's solo concert ticket."

Ling Xi didn't keep her in suspense and told Seele directly.

"Oh, Elysia's concert... Huh? Elysia's concert ticket?"

Seele didn't react at first, then suddenly realized something and looked at Ling Xi excitedly. "This... is this a ticket for Elysia's concert in Changkong City the day after tomorrow?"

"Yeah, doesn't it say the time?"

Ling Xi pointed to the time on the ticket, the 18th, 8:00 PM, which is the day after tomorrow!

"This..."

Holding the ticket in her hand, Seele's face was filled with joy. Then she looked up at Ling Xi excitedly, "Um... are you... really giving it to me?"

"Mhm!"

Ling Xi smiled and nodded. He had bought it specifically for her.

"Mmm, woohoo, I'm so happy!"

Seele directly threw herself into Ling Xi's arms, extremely happy because...

She also really liked Elysia. It was just that the tickets were too expensive, so she had rarely attended concerts. Moreover, it was Elysia's concert, and the price was astonishingly high!

And now Ling Xi suddenly said he wanted to give her a ticket. This was... the first time in her life... cough cough, the first time attending Elysia's concert, how could she not be happy.

"Uh..."

Ling Xi was clearly a bit stunned. She... hugged him just like that?

"Mmm..."

At this moment, Seele seemed to realize her actions. She quickly let go of Ling Xi and turned away, her face blushing with a hint of shyness.

Ling Xi: "..." He could only say... worthy of all the nutrition from the entire orphanage!

Uh, although this Seele seemed to have a different background from the Seele he knew, and it seemed she hadn't lost her family, it didn't prevent her from absorbing so much nutrition!

She was even more nutritious than White Seele!

"Cough, cough..."

Although Seele was a bit embarrassed for a moment, she quickly recovered. She turned back to face Ling Xi again, "Alright, since it's a sincere... apology, I'll graciously forgive you."

"Then I'm truly grateful, Seele."

Seeing that Seele had finally forgiven him, Ling Xi was completely relieved.

"Mmm, after all, you went to queue up specifically to buy it, so the day before yesterday was somewhat understandable!"

After a brief moment of awkwardness, Seele regained her proud expression.

"Yes, after all, online purchases were impossible to get, so I had to queue up a long time in advance just to barely buy them."

Ling Xi shamelessly absorbed the credit belonging to Klein. In his heart, he silently apologized to Klein, "I'm sorry, Senior Sister Klein. For Seele, I can only borrow your credit for now. After my date with Seele, I'll treat you to bubble tea for a year!"

"You worked hard..."

Seele glanced at Ling Xi silently. In her heart, she felt a little bit that perhaps... she had been a bit too much last night, getting angry without knowing the truth.

"It's nothing. As long as Seele can accompany me, no amount of hardship is too much."

Ling Xi still smiled at Seele. Although she wasn't the gentle Seele he was familiar with, this Seele was also very cute. And having transmigrated to the Honkai world, how could he not go on a date with Seele?

Moreover... dating Seele in the Pre-Collapse Civilization wouldn't have Bronya, that flat-chested girl, getting in the way!

"Say that again, you old hag?" .jpg

"Mmm..."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Seele's face again. She lowered her head and silently looked at the ticket in her hand, trying to distract herself. At the same time, she casually glanced at the seat number. Although she wasn't aiming for a particularly good seat, since Ling Xi was a student just like her, their seats would likely be...

First Class?

"Pfft... cough cough!"

Instantly, Seele choked!

"Seele!"

Seeing this, Ling Xi quickly took out his cola and handed it to Seele. "Seele, are you okay?"

"N-no, I'm fine."

Seele quickly shook her head to indicate she was fine, then seriously looked at the seat on the ticket again: First Class, C1-5!

Seele: "..." The very first row...

So, Seele silently looked at Ling Xi. "Ling Xi, how much was each of these tickets?"

"Uh..."

Ling Xi suddenly didn't know how to answer. Because... if he told the truth, would Seele think it was too expensive and refuse it?

"Hmph, I'll check it myself!"

Seeing Ling Xi remain silent, Seele took out her phone, intending to check herself. Moreover... from Ling Xi's expression, she could already guess that it was definitely not cheap.

"Okay, it's actually not that expensive, just three thousand yuan."

Ling Xi quickly stopped Seele, signaling her not to check, and told her the truth. After all, there was no point in hiding it; it could be checked online anytime.

"Th-three thousand?"
