Seele's Here Too... / I Think Seele Blocked Me?
"Eh..."
As Klein spoke, both Ling Xi and Mobius seemed a little embarrassed, having Klein involved...
If it were just a shopping trip, that would be fine; Klein could even be a porter. But... this time it's not just about shopping.
"Um, Klein..."
Mobius leaned closer to Klein and smiled slightly. "This time, Ling Xi and I have some important business to attend to, so shopping is just a side trip. Therefore... Klein, let's go out and have a proper shopping trip together after we arrive on the Mu Continent. This time... let's skip it, okay?"
"Is that so... Alright, Doctor."
Seeing that Mobius had said so, Klein had no choice but to give up. He sighed slightly and smiled, "Then I'll continue working. Doctor, Ling Xi, have fun."
"Yeah, thanks, Klein."
Mobius stroked Klein's hair, silently apologizing in his heart, but... it really wouldn't be good to bring you along when we're getting the marriage certificate.
So Ling Xi and Mobius drove off to get their marriage certificate. The location wasn't far; the closest one was in the city center.
"All my clothes are gone..."
In the girls' dormitory of the Qianyu Academy, Seele looked at the last remaining set of clothes and hesitated.
When I was packing at noon today, I only thought about keeping one change of clothes, but... I didn't consider that I'm going shopping with Ling Xi the day after tomorrow, and this outfit...
This is clearly not suitable for a date; it's a bit... tacky.
"No, no, we have to change to something else."
After thinking for a moment, Seele still felt that she had to change into something else, at least... a dress.
However, Ling Xi has already taken all my clothes. If I ask Ling Xi for them now, Ling Xi will definitely be suspicious. Besides... wouldn't that be asking Ling Xi to rummage through my suitcase? So, absolutely not!
So the only option is...
"Go buy a new one."
After hesitating for a moment, Seele decided to buy a new dress. She didn't need the whole outfit; she just needed one to wear on a date. As for the money...
Because Seele has been eating at Ling Xi's place lately, she has managed to save some money!
So let's just go to the city center to buy it. Anyway, it's only two subway stops away, and we can also check out the place in advance to prepare for our date the day after tomorrow.
With that in mind, Seele promptly put on her coat, changed into her sneakers, and went shopping!
Chapter 130: Seele is here too...
Because the place in Changkong City that handles marriage registration is open 24 hours a day, and because the marriage rate in the Far East is very low, Ling Xi and Mobius were able to complete the procedures directly without any appointments or queuing, and... the process was very simple.
Since both parties are adults, all that's needed is for them to agree, provide their original ID cards, fill out a form, and then submit it...
"Bite!"
Less than three minutes later, the two came out...
"Mmm, Ling Xi, no... it should be, my dear husband."
While looking at Ling Xi, Mobius waved the marriage certificate in his hand and laughed, "From today onwards, you can't escape anymore."
"Um... actually, I think..."
Ling Xi smiled and looked at Mobius, "The moment I saw the Doctor, I knew I couldn't escape."
"Hahaha... You really know how to please me, you little guinea pig."
Mobius happily hugged Ling Xi, nuzzling Ling Xi face affectionately, and asked with a smile, "Where should we go next?"
Since we decided to go out and have fun, we naturally won't go back so early, especially since it's only a little before eight o'clock.
So, Ling Xi decisively decided to take the Doctor to the night market and get some late-night snacks.
After all, this should be the last time Mobius visits Changkong City, and for Shu himself, it will be the second time. Apart from accompanying Seele to visit again the day after tomorrow, there probably won't be another chance...
Looking at the pedestrians on the street, the shops along the roadside, and the vendors' cries, Ling Xi felt a pang of emotion, knowing that all of this would soon vanish into thin air.
Moreover, this is only the beginning.
"Ling Xi, I'm thirsty."
After finishing a late-night snack, Mobius tugged at Ling Xi's arm, indicating that he was thirsty.
"I'm thirsty..."
Ling Xi immediately looked around and found an ice cream shop nearby. She smiled and said, "Doctor, you stay here and don't move. I'll go buy two ice creams."
Mobius: "..." Why do I suddenly feel like I've been taken advantage of...?
"Go ahead, go ahead."
However, Mobius didn't think much of it; it must have been his imagination.
"Wow, so sweet."
A moment later, Mobius sat on a bench by the roadside, eating ice cream together, and happily smiled at Ling Xi, saying, "Why does the ice cream here taste better than the one on the Mu Continent?"
"It's probably because of different moods."
Ling Xi calmly looked at Mobius and smiled, "Because I had some happy things happen today, I'm naturally in a good mood, and when I'm in a good mood, food tastes better too."
"Yeah?"
Mobius smiled and deliberately asked, "So, tell me, what happy thing happened today that made you so happy?"
"Why does the Doctor insist on asking a question he already knows the answer to?"
Ling Xi looked at Mobius speechlessly. This girl clearly knew the answer, but she still insisted on asking.
"If I'm going to ask a question, I'll ask it."
Mobius scoffed, "If you don't tell me, then don't even think about coming to my room tonight."
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Ling Xi readily agreed. Such a good thing?
Mobius "..."
In response, Mobius simply took a bite of ice cream and muttered to himself, "How about... we change 'tonight' to 'one year'?"
"Uh... cough cough!"
Ling Xi immediately agreed, coughed lightly, and smiled, "Because I married the Doctor, so... my mood naturally improved."
"Hmph, you idiot..."
Mobius chuckled and continued eating his ice cream, then asked, "By the way, why is your ice cream pink?"
"Because I wanted strawberry flavor."
Ling Xi answered casually, but why did the Doctor suddenly ask such a pointless question?
"Mmm... it looks delicious! Give me a bite!"
Mobius grabbed Ling Xi's wrist, then leaned out and took a big bite. He then smiled with a satisfied expression, saying, "Indeed, it tastes better when eating other people's food."
Ling Xi "..."
"Alright, alright, I'll let you eat mine too."
Mobius generously held up his ice cream.
"Snort..."
Ling Xi also decisively lowered her head, ready to take a big bite, but then...
"Hmph, don't even think about it!"
Mobius immediately withdrew his hand and laughed, "Trying to trick me? I'll feed you instead."
As he spoke, Mobius also took a bite of his ice cream, and then...
He kissed Ling Xi's lips directly...
Ling Xi: "???" Hey, we're on the street! What if someone sees us?
Okay, it's certain that someone will see me, but as long as no one I know sees me, it's fine.
"Splash..."
Just then, Ling Xi seemed to hear something, Mobius heard it too. They both turned around almost simultaneously to look behind them, but...
There seemed to be nothing wrong; although there were quite a few pedestrians, no one seemed to be paying attention to the area.
"It must be my imagination."
Mobius smiled at Ling Xi.
"Hmm, it should be..."
Ling Xi also thought it was an illusion. Although the voice was real, it shouldn't have anything to do with her, since she didn't know anyone in Changkong City.
"Shall we go back then?"
Ling Xi checked the time again; it was almost nine o'clock. She had done her shopping and eating, and most importantly, she had finished her business. It was time to go home and rest.
"Okay, you drive."
Mobius didn't refuse. After all, as a shut-in, although he had a lot of fun going out with Ling Xi, he still preferred staying at home.
"Hehe, I didn't expect it to be like this, really..."
Just after the two left, a girl couldn't help but sigh from the bushes behind them. It turned out that the clown was herself.
One minute ago...
"Ling Xi will definitely like this dress."
After buying the dress, Seele was ready to go back to school, since the school would close soon.
"Eh... Ling Xi?"
Suddenly, Seele saw two familiar figures on a bench by the roadside ahead. She recognized Ling Xi's figure all too well, but the other one...
Well, although I wasn't very familiar with her, her green hair unsurprisingly gave her away.
"Why is Ling Xi here too, and with Mobius no less..."
Seeing Ling Xi made Seele happy, but seeing Mobius made Seele a little unhappy. However... he was probably out buying something, since Ling Xi was her assistant.
"Hmph, I'll give you a good scare."
Seele immediately decided to play a prank, wanting to suddenly appear from behind and scare the two of them by saying, "You didn't invite me to eat ice cream!"
So Seele secretly approached, and then...
Chapter 131: It seems like Seele has blocked me?
Saturday, because I worked overtime with Mobius on experiments last night, I didn't get up until 10 am today. Fortunately, there's nothing I need to do outside today, so...
Let's just continue being lazy.
Inside the research institute, the evacuation operation has begun in stages. Laboratory equipment, supplies, personnel, and some family members are all being evacuated in an orderly manner under Klein's arrangement.
Only...
Why didn't Seele reply to me?
In the evening, Ling Xi, having lunch in the research institute's cafeteria, silently stared at her phone. She had sent Seele a routine greeting message that morning; normally, Seele would reply within five minutes, if not immediately, but...
It's been ten hours, why hasn't Seele replied yet?
So, Ling Xi sent Seele another message, basically saying that she wouldn't be late tomorrow...
Of course, no reply was received.
"Hi, Ling Xi, are you dining alone again?"
Suddenly, Ling Xi heard a familiar voice again. Without asking, it was naturally a certain fairy lady.
