You Are Deep in The Stars

That night, the two handed the information to Zhou Yong. The meeting place was a dark alley.

“Please,” Bai Xi’s attitude was sincere, “no matter what the final result is, I hope you can learn more about the atrocities in the underground warehouse through these materials.”

“It seems that you are indeed very anxious.” Zhou Yong took the document bag. “But it may be a long journey.”

“I know, but it’s good even if it’s just a day earlier.” Bai Xi smiled, “Thank you.”

Zhou Yong wrapped his coat tightly and turned around to leave the alley. His tall figure looked like a moving mountain in the moonlight.

“It’s also Chunchun who failed to live up to expectations,” Bai Xi sighed regretfully, hating that iron can’t make steel. “Zhou Jing has such a good personality and looks so sweet. She doesn’t think he’s short, but he actually thinks she’s too tall.”

Han Zhuo held his hand and said as he walked, “You are the sweetest.”

“I found that you are really disgusting.” Bai Xi shook his shoulders and casually drew out Zhou Jing’s circle of friends. “Well, look, is Chunchun very short-sighted?”

“Are you sure she’s only 1.85 meters?” Han Zhuo came closer. “I don’t think 2 meters is too much.”

“…Girls should retouch their photos when taking photos.” Bai Xi said, “Maybe they like their legs to be covered from the neck down.”

Han Zhuo smiled and touched his forehead lightly.

On the other side, Zhou Yong returned home, and the person who opened the door for him was a petite woman, only about 1.5 meters tall, who looked a little flustered.

“What’s wrong?” Zhou Yong asked.

“It’s okay. I just broke a kettle without noticing.” Mrs. Zhou hung up his coat for him. “It’s so late. Who is looking for you?”

“A friend,” Zhou Yong said. “Go to bed quickly. Your health has not been good recently. Leave me alone.”

Mrs. Zhou nodded and insisted on heating a glass of milk for him before returning to the bedroom alone.

.

The next few days passed peacefully. During the weekend, Liu Chunchun walked around the room nervously, and then asked Mr. Wang, “How can I show Brother Bai in a roundabout way that I already know that he is Ultraman?”

“Why take a roundabout way?” Wang Yuanchen was puzzled.

“Because he actually didn’t intend to tell me!” Liu Chunchun slapped his thigh.

Wang Yuanchen said, “Then you can pretend not to know.”

“No.” Liu Chunchun refused sternly. “I can’t deceive Brother Bai.”

Wang Yuanchen pinched his face and said angrily, “Why are you so nice to him?”

“Isn’t it okay to be nice to Brother Bai?” Liu Chunchun was confused.

“No.” Wang Yuanchen replied arrogantly, “At least I want to be the first before him.”

Why! Liu Chunchun roared silently in his heart; ‘you didn’t even let me mend my socks!’

But since the flesh on his cheeks was about to be torn off by this man and it was really painful, Liu Chunchun still frowned and begged for mercy, “Okay, okay, I’ll let you be the first.”

Wang Yuanchen let go with satisfaction and planned to give this earthling a reward.

So, he called the phone and said bluntly, “Chunchun already knows that you are not a human being.”

Liu Chunchun: “…”

Huh?

Bai Xi wondered, “What?”

Liu Chunchun’s wailing voice sounded on the other end of the phone, “Brother Bai, please listen to my explanation!”

But Wang Yuanchen had already hung up the phone, rubbed his face in a good mood, and said, “You don’t have to worry about it now, I want eggs Benedict for breakfast.”

Liu Chunchun bumped into the kitchen door, feeling worse than death.

“Tell me,” Han Zhuo called again. “Is Liu Chunchun fainted again?”

“No,” Wang Yuanchen sat on the sofa, waiting for his eggs Benedict wholeheartedly. “He fainted and then woke up.”

Han Zhuo gave a brief compliment, “Well done.”

Bai Xi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and shook Mr. Han’s shoulders with both hands, “It’s over, we have to go out to eat Haidilao today, but I’m not ready yet.”

“As long as I’m here, there’s nothing to be afraid of.” Han Zhuo picked him up with one hand and pulled out the dining chair with the other. “You just need to eat well and pretend that nothing happened. In fact, nothing big happened, right?”

Bai Xi agreed absentmindedly, holding the milk cup with one hand. Originally, he just wanted to warm it up a little, but when he came to his senses, more than half of it had evaporated—which showed that he was really nervous.

So before going out, Mr. Han had no choice but to contribute with his beauty, kissing for ten minutes in exchange for Bai Xi’s temporary peace, and playing soothing piano music in the car all the way.

The food court was a bit crowded on weekends. By the time the two of them arrived at the hot pot restaurant, the other three people had already arrived and were eating sunflower seeds boredly in the private room.

“Brother Bai, Brother Han,” Yu Jiong and Wang Xiaosen raised their heads to say hello. Only Liu Chunchun was more excited and stood up instantly.

“Hey, why are you giggling like a lunatic?” Wang Xiaosen was confused.

Liu Chunchun respectfully pulled out a chair for Ultraman, “Please sit down.”

Bai Xi: “…”

“Would you like tea?” Liu Chunchun shook out the napkin and helped him put it on the collar of his shirt to avoid staining the noble battle uniform.

“Although Xiao Bai is your boss, isn’t this flattery too much?” Yu Jiong sighed and clasped his fists in support, “I accept it.”

Bai Xi hugged Liu Chunchun’s shoulders, smiling and squeezing out words from between his teeth, “Be normal!”

Liu Chunchun’s eyes were eager, “Yeah!”

Bai Xi grabbed the menu, “Except this, this, and this, I want all the rest.”

Liu Chunchun applauded heartily and fiercely.

The waiter walked out of the box with a smile. Yu Jiong and Wang Xiaosen knocked on the table and lamented in unison whether he could be removed from 215 and why eating hot pot could be so embarrassing.

Han Zhuo smiled as he watched them quarreling. He sat aside and helped Bai Xi handle the work documents, then asked, “Are you going to City H next Tuesday? The other party replied that their boss is willing to talk to you in person.”

“Show me,” Bai Xi took the phone over, glanced at it, and nodded. “Go, doing business means following customers everywhere, not to mention I’m just starting out.”

“Okay, then let’s take the train there?” Han Zhuo said, “It only takes three hours, which is much faster than flying.”

“Just make your arrangements,” Bai Xi said, “Try to come back on the same day.”

Liu Chunchun asked, “Should I go together?”

“You don’t have to,” before Bai Xi spoke, Han Zhuo smiled and said, “We also want to meet a friend.”

Liu Chunchun nodded solemnly. ‘I understand, that must be Ultraman Zero.’

Bai Xi rubbed his temples, planning to take some time to have a good talk with him.

As for the “friend” Han Zhuo mentioned, he was no stranger to it. He was Zhou Jinshan, who opened a noodle shop. He now had moved to City H and continues to open his business there, but this time it was a tavern.

.

Since it was not the peak passenger season and it was a working day, there were not many people on the train that day and the seats were quite comfortable. Bai Xi opened a bucket of potato chips and gave Mr. Han an earphone, planning to kill the three hours with a movie.

“What do you want to see?” Bai Xi asked.

Mr. Han replied, “Peppa Pig.”

Bai Xi refused, “No, I’ll keep the cartoons for home entertainment. It needs to be more in-depth in front of others.”

So, Mr. Han said again, “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.” It was really deep.

Bai Xi smiled and bumped him with his head. Before he could speak, another person came up. She was dressed in simple clothes and had a demure temperament. She was a middle-aged aunt in her early fifties.

Bai Xi was surprised and said, “Aunt Zhou?”

“…Who are you?” The other party hesitated.

“My surname is Bai, and I’m Zhou Jing’s classmate.” Bai Xi didn’t expect to meet her here, so he hurriedly said, “We have met before.”

“It’s Xiao Bai.” Mrs. Zhou finally recalled it and said with a smile, “Look at my memory, it’s thanks to you that you sent Jingjing home.”

“Auntie, please sit down.” Han Zhuo picked up her hand luggage and put it on the top shelf. “I am Xiao Bai’s colleague. My surname is Han. You can just call me Xiao Han.”

“Thank you, Mr. Han.” Mrs. Zhou’s mood improved a lot when she unexpectedly met her daughter’s classmate, so she continued to ask with a smile, “Are you going on a trip?”

“I’m on a business trip. How can I have time to travel when I’m at work?” Bai Xi handed her a bottle of drink, “Where are you going, Auntie?”

“I’m going to see a friend,” Mrs. Zhou replied.

When she said this, her eyes flashed unconsciously, as if she wanted to hide some secret.
