The moment Xu Duoduo heard "date" and "watch the aurora," her mind went: Aurora = pretty, pretty = good for a date!
So Shishi nodded.
Captain Qin said awkwardly, "Then it's settled, okay? We'll go watch the aurora together after tomorrow's mission."
Xu Duoduo nodded again.
Seeing how readily she agreed, Qin Luo felt a little awkward. It seemed he was the only one feeling shy, so he asked her somewhat gloomily, "Do you know what a date is? Why aren't you embarrassed at all?"
Big Dog gave her a sulky poke.
Xu Duoduo was still crunching away at her apple and mumbled, "Why would a date be embarrassing?"
With the little zombie's way of thinking, the things that embarrassed her weren't the same as they were for normal people.
Qin Luo sighed. "Never mind. Come a little closer and let me have another bite of that apple."
This time, Xu Duoduo remembered. Looking at the half-eaten apple in front of her, she didn't give it to him. Instead, she pulled another big apple out of her space.
Qin Luo said, "I want the one in your hand."
Big Dog had no shame!
Xu Duoduo still handed him the one she was holding. Qin Luo took a huge bite. "You know, the apples you grow in your space really are extra tasty."
They were especially sweet and crisp.
Xu Duoduo was curious too. Why did the things she grew in her space taste better than the ones outside?!
But it didn't matter if Shishi couldn't figure it out.
It was a good thing, anyway.
She quietly went on eating her apple, and somehow the two of them ended up finishing it one bite at a time, taking turns.
Afterward, Qin Luo took her to the bathroom to wash her hands
