The Class President of Yore!
However, before Ling Xi could even breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly discovered that Elysia had placed her head directly on her lap.
"Elysia... what are you doing?"
Ling Xi lowered her head slightly, looking at the girl with some frustration.
"A lap pillow? Haven't you heard of that?"
Elysia maintained her calm smile, happily watching Ling Xi, then silently rolled over...
Ling Xi: "..." This girl really wants to cause trouble, doesn't she?
However, this time Ling Xi didn't want to stop Elysia anymore, and Elysia gently bit the straw of the cup of milk tea and happily drank it. After all, it was Ling Xi's treat, and she liked getting things for free the most!
"Ding ding ding..."
Suddenly, Ling Xi's phone rang. She quickly took it out and saw that it was Mobius calling...
Ling Xi: "..." Holy crap...
"It's the Doctor on the phone."
Ling Xi looked at Elysia with some hesitation.
"Ugh, Ni stutters, Wobu Hui is shrinking..."
Elysia has thus responded.
Ling Xi: "..." That's not what I meant at all!
However, Ling Xi didn't dare to delay the call from Mobius for too long. After it rang for about five seconds, Ling Xi finally answered it.
"Hi, Doctor."
Fortunately, the Doctor only sent a voice call this time, and Ling Xi greeted him in a voice that she felt was relatively calm.
"Ling Xi, where are you now?"
Without any preamble, Mobius went straight to asking where Ling Xi was.
"Um... it's in the city. Didn't we say we were going to buy a car today? So I went and bought one."
Ling Xi told the truth directly, since it wasn't something worth hiding.
"Oh, did you buy a car?"
Mobius responded with an "oh," showing no suspicion, and said with a smile, "That's perfect, go to the airport and pick someone up for me."
"Pick someone up?"
Ling Xi was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Who is it?"
"A researcher from Shenzhou."
Since this wasn't something that needed to be kept secret, Mobius said directly, "That girl was an intern I met in Shenzhou. She was originally studying for her doctorate in Canghai City, but because of the Honkai of Changkong City, Canghai City was almost destroyed, so I invited her to work for me."
"I see..."
Ling Xi wasn't surprised by this, since with her family's reputation as Doctor, they would naturally know a lot of people.
"No problem, I'll be at the airport in a bit... cough cough, I'll be at the airport in a bit."
Ling Xi almost gave herself away. It just goes to show that when it comes to causing trouble, you have to look to Miss Fairy.
"What's wrong?"
Mobius seemed to have clearly heard Ling Xi's voice, but for some reason, the voice sounded somewhat familiar...
"Um, it's nothing, I just wanted to ask which airport it is?"
Ling Xi forced herself to remain calm and said, "After all, there are nearly ten airports in the capital of the Mu Continent. Doctor, you have to tell me which airport it is."
Airport No. 3.
Ling Xi didn't say much. "The flight will arrive in about an hour. You should leave as soon as possible. Once you pick her up, just bring her directly to the research institute."
"Okay, Doctor, I understand."
"It's just picking someone up, no problem, "Ling Xi agreed immediately.
"Doctor, is there anything else?"
After finishing their business, Ling Xi wanted to hang up the phone, since it wasn't close to Airport No. 3; it would take about half an hour to drive there.
"Mmm..."
Mobius seemed to hesitate for a moment before asking, "By the way, I don't think I saw Elysia at the research institute. Is she with you?"
"Um... yes, because I'm not very familiar with this area, Elysia offered to be my guide, so I came with her."
Ling Xi did not choose to lie, after all, her Doctor's ability to see through people's hearts was too strong. If she denied it, Mobius might have even more doubts.
"Hmph, that girl..."
Mobius snorted with an "I knew it" tone, then said, "Fine, since she's with you, let's go together. Remember to bring her back. Bye..."
After saying that, Mobius hung up the phone...
"Puff..."
"Cough cough..."
Elysia seemed to have choked on her milk tea because she drank it too fast. She quickly got up, took out a tissue to wipe her mouth, and looked at Ling Xi with a smile.
Ling Xi "..."
Ling Xi looked at Elysia with a hint of resentment...
"Hehe..."
Seeing Ling Xi's look, Mobius just smiled, poked Ling Xi, and snorted, "What kind of look is that? You're so honest."
Ling Xi "..."
"Alright, let's go pick them up."
Seemingly sensing the awkward atmosphere, Ling Xi didn't want to say too much to Elysia, or rather... she was running away from something.
"Yes, yes, let's go."
Elysia didn't say much about it. Anyway, someone will beg me for help sooner or later!
Chapter 155: My Former Class Monitor!
It took about five minutes to clean up the mess. Elysia then bought a bottle of Happy Water and an air freshener before the two of them drove to the airport to pick someone up!
However, perhaps because of what had just happened, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was...
It seems that things aren't as harmonious as they were at the beginning.
"Hey, Ling Xi."
However, with Elysia present, how could the atmosphere remain awkward? She smiled at Ling Xi and said, "By the way, how did you know I was in trouble last time in Changkong City? Was it telepathy?"
"No, it was the Doctor who informed me."
Ling Xi casually said, "At the time, I was planning to find a high place to check the surrounding environment, but luckily, there was a signal there, so I received a call from Mobius saying that you were in trouble."
"Oh..."
Elysia gave an "oh" and muttered to herself, "As expected of my best friend..."
Ling Xi: "..." I'm embarrassed to say anything to you. Is that the kind of behavior a good friend would do?
Um... okay, although I'm not really in a position to criticize her.
"Oh right, last time you said that the person riding a white horse might not necessarily be a prince, but could also be Tang Sanzang. I asked who Tang Sanzang was back then, but you said the situation was urgent and you'd explain later. Now..."
Elysia turned her head slightly and smiled, "Now that you have some free time, tell me about it."
"Well..."
Ling Xi hesitated for a moment. Actually, she didn't want to talk too much about this topic with Elysia. After all, it was a long story, and the story was quite interesting. Ling Xi was afraid that after telling it once, Elysia would pester her to tell her the rest.
"This story... is a bit long."
Ling Xi made up a random excuse, intending to make Elysia back down.
"Is it long? I like long ones the most..."
Elysia immediately seemed excited, then coughed and said, "Ahem, I mean I like listening to long stories, because that's what makes them enjoyable. Short stories are completely uninteresting; they end just as you're getting into the story. Only long stories are truly enjoyable to listen to."
Ling Xi "..."
I feel like I'm becoming less and less pure, because everything Elysia says now sounds like she's making suggestive remarks...
"I'm driving."
Ling Xi came up with another excuse.
"It's okay, I'll drive."
Elysia patted her swollen chest confidently and snorted, "Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm a seasoned driver with eighteen years of experience."
Ling Xi: "..." You driver... Is she serious?
"Alright, I'll tell you then, but this story has to start from the beginning, so it might take a while to get to Tang Sanzang..."
Seeing that Elysia was not easily fooled, Ling Xi could only decide to tell her that story.
First of all, in the second half of this year, the rabbit and eagle... oops, Pangu creating the world, uh, I seem to have gone off on a tangent. Let's start with Danzhu mending the sky...
Danzhu...
Yes, I'm sure...
"And so, Sun Wukong kicked over the Eight Trigrams Furnace, preparing to storm the Heavenly Palace and wreak havoc in Heaven!"
At this point, Ling Xi stepped on the brakes and said, "Alright, we've arrived at the airport. That's all for today. The rest... I'll definitely do it next time!"
"Ha?"
Upon hearing this, Elysia, who was listening with great interest, immediately became annoyed and said, "What? We've already laid the groundwork, and the exciting part is about to begin, and you're telling me it'll be next time?"
"But we've already arrived at our destination!"
Ling Xi didn't even look at Elysia, but focused on driving, saying, "Let's pick up the people the Doctor wants to take back first, then we'll talk about it."
"No, no, there are still ten minutes until the flight arrives, we'll make it!"
Elysia was unwilling to end things here, but Ling Xi was driving, so she didn't dare to cling to Ling Xi's arm and act coquettishly. After all, if there was a car accident, Ling Xi would probably be fine, but she might not.
"No, no, we'll talk about the rest another day."
Ling Xi still refused, leaving the exciting parts abruptly, which made Elysia feel very uncomfortable. This could be considered... a little revenge on herself. After all, this girl had teased her before, even though she seemed to like it quite a bit.
"Hmph, that short-sighted dog has no bottom!"
Elysia puffed out her cheeks and looked at Ling Xi with a displeased expression.
"Ha, have you ever tried it?"
Ling Xi remained completely calm. At worst, she would be scolded by Miss Elysia, and some people might even see this as a reward.
Well, of course, that definitely doesn't include myself, since I'm not the kind of weirdo who feels good when I'm being scolded!
Elysia "..."
"Hehe, okay, I'll talk to you when I'm free tonight, alright?"
Seeing that Elysia seemed genuinely a little angry, Ling Xi quickly smiled and said, "After all, everyone is free after dinner, so I'll tell you then, okay?"
"Hmph, that's more like it, but..."
Elysia placed her hand on Ling Xi's thigh and said with a mischievous smile, "Don't stand me up, or I'll get my revenge, a really good revenge."
Ling Xi "..."
Fifteen minutes later, based on the photo sent by Mobius, Ling Xi successfully located the person she was supposed to pick up...
"Hello, Wen, I'm Ling Xi, Dr. Mobius's assistant."
Looking at the girl in front of him with her standard Shenzhou appearance, Ling Xi took the initiative to extend her hand to greet her.
