Time, go back a few minutes.
(How could things develop like this——?!)
Miss Kirara, the information life form that controls everything behind the scenes, is screaming like the famous painting "The Scream".
In the original plan, this was just a prank as an appetizer. The third strategy was launched by taking off the bra to check, and made Qin Qianbai fall into the trap through the illusion of "mistakenly thinking that he was wearing a bra." After meeting Gongsun Ce, who possesses the eyes of the netherworld, the "vacuum suspenders" trap will inevitably be exposed. Qin Qianbai, who hurried back to the room to change clothes, will step into a series of illusion traps...
But who would have thought that the idiot Gongsun Ce only said those vague words and continued working as a matter of course? !
Qiluo ignored an important point when formulating the plan, that is, Gongsun Ce was deeply suspicious, and his judgment was disturbed to a considerable extent. But now is no longer the time to reflect. If this continues, who knows what worse stupid things will happen, but if the truth is told, Qin Qianbai will definitely be super embarrassed.
How to choose? Qiluo searched the memory with the ultra-high thinking speed unique to information life forms. She had the impression that Gongsun Ce had said a universal solution at this time...
——There will be no more embarrassing emotions when everyone is doing stupid things!
"Is this so...! If I just drag everyone into the water together...!"
Qiluo tightened her collar. An even more evil smile appeared on her face, even twice as evil as last night!
Time was running out. After applying invisibility to herself, Qiluo walked towards the room of another crew member with awareness.
"Don't worry, Qin Qianbai... everyone will be with you!"
·
Time returns to the present.
The hot cabin made people sweat like rain. The captain and chief boatman sat in the corner with a white wrench, muttering to himself in the confused eyes of the girls, saying "enlightenment", "reason", "lies" and so on, which no one else could hear. If you understand. Rei Shigure stepped forward and hit his head hard like he was repairing an old appliance: "Hey, can you hear me? Are you still suffering from the side effects of the False Word Seal?"
"Ah, I can't distinguish reality." Gongsun Ce smiled weakly, "I feel like I'm in a dream. This heat is really fake, right? It hurts!"
"It's really hot!!" Rei Shigure grabbed his ears hard, "Does it hurt? The pain is real. Fix the air conditioner for me quickly!"
Gongsun Ce rubbed his ears and looked at the two of them with gratitude that he had never seen before. His sincere feelings made the girls' hearts tremble.
"I'm so touched that even Zero is so kind to me..."
Rei Shigure grabbed someone's shoulders and shook him violently: "Stop going crazy and get back to work in reality!!"
"Oh okay okay."
Gongsun Ce reluctantly glanced at the looming ravine several times and made up his mind to repair the air conditioner first. However, when he got up, he realized that the sports shorts he had put on due to the hot weather had caused an extremely embarrassing situation.
Facts have proved that the body will not obey the control of reason at certain times. The current stimulation is too much for someone... it is too much!
Shigure looked away, and Qin Qianbai coughed twice in embarrassment: "Ace, this is undoubtedly reality, control yourself."
Gongsun Ce looked at the two of them back and forth in shock, and confirmed the current situation again: "Ladies, we are in the computer room now, right? The weather is very hot and we are going to repair the air conditioner?"
"Otherwise?" Shigure Ling laughed angrily.
Gongsun Ce's tone was aggrieved: "Then I don't have any problem! If this is reality, how could I not have any reaction?!"
Qin Qianbai and Shigurei exchanged glances, and both saw the confusion in each other's eyes. They searched for clues in the room at the same time. When Shigurei scanned the surroundings, he was suddenly startled: "Hey, is it possible?"
Qin Qianbai looked along someone's fingertips. There were circuit boards and wires in the back cover of the equipment that had just been opened. The brass-colored energy transmission pipelines of the side load power system were vibrating slightly with the steady operation. There was a small one on the inside. A gear rotates, making a rational mechanical sound. She didn't see anything unusual in all this, until Rei Shigure whispered: "He likes machines very much, doesn't he..."
"?!?!"
A chill climbed up the eldest lady's spine. Could it be that A Ce, who has been obsessed with robots for too long, has become interested in gears, pipes and circuit boards? !
"Calm down, Ace!" Qin Qianbai shouted in panic, "If you are interested at this time, you will never be a normal man again!"
Gongsun Ce stared at the vacuum duo, holding his head in grief and anger: "If you don't have interest at this time, you don't have the right to call yourself a normal man, okay?"
Qin Qianbai and Shi Yuling pressed his shoulders at the same time, and said seriously: "You should go outside and take a rest first."
"Why are you saying such cruel things to me now? !!"
·
Gongsun Ce left the computer room like a zombie, banging his head like a wooden fish.
Nether Eyes will not lie to me. Missy and Zero won't lie to me either. Isn't this an invitation from mature women, but just a boy's wishful thinking? So who is lying to me? Am I lying?
"Drink a cold drink first..." Gongsun Ce said to himself, "Just a glass of ice water will be fine?!"
Gongsun Ce wandered into the living room and received the third impact of the day.
"Ce, are you okay?"
Alandia, who was preparing a lesson plan on the sofa, asked him with concern. Forced by the hot temperature, Alandia rarely changed into cool clothes today. Her upper body is still a work-like white shirt, but today she has changed it to short sleeves, and her lower body is rarely seen in casual home shorts. Her lotus-like white calves are hidden under the translucent desk, like a homemaker. Urban beauty in office.
This outfit is considered old-fashioned by all standards except going out, and even the top button of the shirt is buttoned rigorously. However, there are some more serious, obvious and essential problems that can be seen with just a few buttons. Gongsun Ce immediately remembered the knight lady wearing his T-shirt in the bathroom that night. The scene now had exactly the same characteristics as then.
It's a vacuum.
It’s a vacuum shirt!
At this time, a beam of sunlight hit the side of the bridge, awakening Gongsun Ce's long-standing memory. He thought of Superbia after a rainy day. The morning climate at that time was colder than usual, and the world was surrounded by an elegant white mist. The mist blew along the river across the plain, and floated up with the winter wind. , covering the endless mountains in the north, like a hazy maze in the mirror that can never be exited.
But once he came to the top of the clock tower before the sun rose, and inadvertently encountered the first ray of morning light in the day. At that moment, the light swept across like an arrow, illuminating the plains and mountains in the white mist. The breathtaking scenery was clearly presented, as if a picture scroll was pouring into the eyes with the light.
"——"
Gongsun Ce's rich vocabulary storage seemed so bleak at this moment that he couldn't find any words to describe his rich psychological activities, and he just stood there in shock like a mole emerging from the earth for the first time. Alandia was deeply interested in the performance of her entourage: "Ce, you seem to have learned about the knight Gaffrey who has doubled his year-end bonus."
"It's not just the year-end award." Gongsun Ce said stiffly, "It's the King's Cross! Upgraded to three levels within half a year! Interview with photos on the first page of Superbia Times! The Queen received a title and a fiefdom!"
The physical distance between the two separated most of the living room, and Alandia could not sense his entourage's thoughts as clearly as she could in the bathroom. Her eyes swept over her shorts and short-sleeved shirt, and she was surprised and a little shy.
"To be honest, I didn't expect that occasionally changing your clothes would make you so happy." Alandia habitually rolled up her hair, "I thought you didn't care about my clothes."
"Miss Knight, whom I pay close attention to." Gongsun Ce's eyes widened. "I always thought that you dressed a little too conservatively in the past, but I... I really didn't expect... that you would be so great..."
Alandia felt happy. It was the first time in her adult life that she had received such a simple but sincere compliment, a man who felt happy because of her beauty. She thought of the energetic ladies in the Order, and perhaps they all had similar feelings to her when they changed into fashionable clothes on their days off.
"I don't mind changing my clothes occasionally, if it makes you happy." Alandia smiled honestly, "You get your work done quickly."
"Oh! I haven't yet!" Gongsun Ce was in a hurry, "I'll have a glass of ice water and go right away! Right now!"
Gongsun Ce ran out of the living room in panic, feeling like a crazy monkey. That was definitely not an illusion or delusion. Alandia was really dressed like this, and she felt very happy to be seen by him. Oh my god oh my god oh my god. We must prepare flowers quickly, choose a room type, whether it would be better to buy a car, and the most important thing, buy a ring...!
"Gong~Sun~Ce~can you hear me~"
"What!?"
Gongsun Ce suddenly looked up and found that he was squatting in front of the refrigerator without knowing it. Qiluo poked her head behind him: "I'm preparing ingredients for lunch. What is Gongsun Ce mumbling about?"
A terrible guess passed through Gongsun Ce's mind.
"Qiluo, could it be that you also——!"
He quickly turned his head and met the idol girl's cunning eyes. as expected! Qiluo was wearing sports shorts and a pink apron. The two cute cat heads on the apron are held up high, and the flesh-colored skin protruding from the edges exudes a terrifying presence... This is a vacuum apron that is more radical than the rest of the crew!
Qiluo smiled evilly and tugged on her apron: "Isn't it very perverted?"
Gongsun Ce sat down against the refrigerator, closing his eyes with a happy and peaceful smile, like a devout believer who accepted his fate.
"Gongsun Ce?!"
"No need to say anything, Qiluo." Gongsun Ce looked up with a peaceful smile, "It turns out that I am in heaven."
"Suddenly said something very bad?!"
Gongsun Ce supported his thighs and struggled to stand up, his expression as strong as a warrior on the battlefield. He took a deep breath and gave a thumbs up with a consciousness of life and death.
"I will never let you down your expectations!" Gongsun Ce shouted seriously, "Qiluo, wait for me. Even if I am forced to use reincarnation, I will definitely come back!"
Gongsun Ce ran towards the computer room, and Qiluo fell into a brief state of panic, with pink bubbles exploding crazily one after another on her head. "Ah wow wow wait wait wait!" Qiluo, who had come back to her senses, finally remembered her original purpose. She was here to explain the truth to Gongsun Ce! But the crazy person seems to not care about the truth at all!
“Gongsun Ce, wait a minute——”
At the same time, Alandia in the living room was deep in thought.
Ce's eyes and emotions seemed to have another meaning. He shouldn't be so excited just about the short-sleeved shirt. He'd had a similar look in the past, that time in the...bathroom...?
Alandia raised her hand and placed it on her chest. A few seconds later, the hidden truth surfaced, and her face suddenly turned red and hot.
"Miss Qiluo...!"
"ah!"
Qiluo, who was chasing Gongsun Ce, stopped and screamed that something was wrong.
·
This feeling.
This admiration.
In what way can it be expressed?
After confirming the true Gongsun Ce, the answer cannot be determined rationally. He decided to follow his heart... and let his heart guide him to the truest answer.
"Ladies, I'm back!"
In the computer room, the eldest lady was squatting down to repair the circuit. Rei Shigure squinted and said, "Is it back to normal?"
"I fully understand the truth, thank you everyone."
"Wow, you laugh so disgustingly. What did you realize?"
Gongsun Ce walked quickly behind his girl and asked gently: "How are you, Miss?"
Qin Qianbo just found out the cause of the malfunction: "The airport in the Acid Valley State was improperly managed, and the acid mist that entered by mistake corroded the components."
"I'll use white matter as a temporary supplement."
Gongsun Ce took three seconds to replace the faulty component, and the air conditioning system finally turned on the normal green light again. Qin Qianbai wiped the sweat from his head: "Finally done..."
"Miss, let's start playing."
Qin Qianbai tilted his head: "? Don't you want to go to the room?"
"That's right, let's go now." Gongsun Ce looked at Rei Shigure, who had a strange look on his side, affectionately, "Rei...I'll come find you after a while, please wait for me."
Rei Shigure had goosebumps all over his body: "Ha, ha?"
Before Rei Shigure could ask, the duo of superpowers had already left. She shrugged, feeling ridiculous, and walked toward the bridge.
The temperature dropped rapidly after the air conditioning was restored, and she couldn't help but feel a chill. A rare drama was taking place on the bridge, and Alandia seemed to be lecturing Qiluo. Shigure Rei gloated and went to eavesdrop, but saw the Dawn Knight asking seriously: "Where is Miss Qin?"
"Little girl? She and Gongsun Ce went into the house to play games."
Qiluo covered her face: "It's so miserable——"
The last chance to redeem the tragedy was missed by everyone at this time.
·
Gongsun Ce followed the girl obediently. He repeatedly told himself to be a gentleman until the last moment. He endured it until he stepped into Qin Qianbai's room, and then for the purpose of final confirmation, he put his hand on the girl's smooth back.
From the perspective of standing behind me, everything is so within reach. He said gently: "Miss, is it okay?"
"?" Qin Qianbai tilted his head, "(Playing games) It's no problem."
"Okay." Gongsun Ce nodded excitedly, "I'm on board!"
Gongsun Ce couldn't help but burst into tears - she was really not four years ago.
Photos from the past flashed through his blurred eyes, including the pretty girls eating breakfast together at a street stall, the female high school students who put on their high school uniforms for the first time, the girls who wore sportswear when they won gold medals at sports meets, Wearing a sports coat when hiking with him in the summer, a swimsuit to go to the artificial beach, a beautiful skirt bought at the mall... The four years of getting along day and night passed through Gongsun Ce's eyes, and the girl in his memory changed from a short girl who never went to high school. Now a tall girl, all the memories of youth are gathered into a tearful result at this time, condensed into her growth!
"Miss!" Gongsun Ce almost cried!
Then, an extremely familiar cold feeling came from the front.
The eldest lady turned around, with the same embarrassed look in her eyes as that night four years ago.
Gongsun Ce pinched her twice subconsciously and said blankly: "Miss? What's wrong? Why do you look so angry?"
"——The lewd thief!!"
When the crisp slap sounded, Gongsun Ce thought of the distant night when he first met Qin Qianbai four years ago.
It turns out that some things will never change no matter how you grow.
·
Just like that, fifteen minutes later.
The air conditioner had completely returned to normal, and Wawu lay comfortably in the bathtub, determined not to climb out of the bathroom. In the corridor, Gongsun Ce covered his red right face and looked at the tooth marks and claw marks on his arm, looking like he was about to cry without tears.
"Miss, let's speak according to our conscience." Gongsun Ce said with a sad face, "Do you think this can all be blamed on me?"
"Ace, shut up!" Qin Qianbai was angrily applying ointment to him. Hearing this, he turned his head in shame, but when he saw the meaningful eyes of the other crew members, he suddenly felt twice as angry.
Miss Qiluo, the culprit of all accidents, is sitting in the corridor, her eyes are like those of a warrior ready to kill at the neck: "Everyone is responsible for the work, Qin Qianbai, if you want to blame, blame me!"
Qin Qianbai took a deep breath and covered her face with her hands.
"Qiluo, you have no responsibility." Qin Qianbai said sadly, "It's my own fault for being deceived."
"Qin Qianbai~~~"
Qiluo (vacuum apron) hugged her best friend in emotion, and the girl's expression became even stiffer as she was squeezed by the cat's head. Gongsun Ce saw the opportunity and winked, and said loudly: "Well, since the two parties have reconciled, this matter ends here!"
"I understand, Gongsun Ce, let's go make lunch!"
Gongsun Ce and Qiluo walked shoulder to shoulder and quickly walked towards the kitchen together. However, the Dawn Knight, who was well prepared, blocked the end of the corridor, and the only route of escape was blocked!
Qiluo began to tremble: "Is there anything else...?"
"Miss Qiluo, I still have unanswered questions." Alandia said expressionlessly, "Why do the pranks against Miss Qin involve us?"
"Oh, this is because, that, everyone is treated equally and blends into the atmosphere..."
Gongsun Ce started to tremble: "You take your time to examine Qiluo, I will withdraw first if nothing happens..."
Gongsun Ce turned around like lightning, only to find Shi Yuling sneering and blocking the way back!
"Ah, by the way, you seem to owe everyone a reasonable explanation. Why did you keep silent when you saw everything from the beginning, you little pervert?"
"You, you, listen to me, this is really not what you think. I am..."
Arlandia and Shigure Rei are approaching step by step. The culprit Qiluo and the biggest accomplice Gongsun Ce huddled against the wall and hugged each other tightly under the oppression of the powerful. They cast their last hope in the tolerant and generous Miss Qin.
"Miss——" "Qin Qianbai——"
Qin Qianbai smiled very sweetly: "This must be Qiluo's new illusion. I won't be fooled again."
"I want to seriously discuss etiquette issues with you two." "It's your own fault, you perverts!"
"No!!!" X2
·
Just like that, half an hour later.
Above the clouds, the sun is fierce. Today is a hot day with clear skies. The fire-like sunshine evenly shines on the deck of the Morning Star, and the air looks like distorted glass due to the high temperature.
A pure white long pole is standing on the bow of the Morning Star, standing unyieldingly against the sun like a song of courage. Two newly promoted glorious ship sculptures are tied to the top of the long pole. One has a white plaque with the words "deep reflection" hanging around his neck, and the other has a wreath with the words "I am a lustful woman" on his head. They did not give in when facing the heat of nature. The cotton clothes, trousers and down jackets they wore were a reflection of their indomitable will!
"Help, it's going to heat up—" Qiluo screamed.
"You can't do this to the captain -" Gongsun Ce was filled with grief and anger.
"It's so cool." "The ice cream tastes delicious even with the screams." "I'll just drink iced coffee."
Below the two ship sculptures, three crew members hiding under umbrellas are eating popsicles, ice cream and cold drinks! Nan Wu San, this is the latest execution technology developed from the ancient zero island torture, ice cream torture. What ruthless people, but this is also karma and retribution!
"I have something to say, but I am not convinced." Qiluo cried sadly, "Miss Qiluo is not guilty of this!"
"It seems that Miss Qiluo wants to add one more piece of clothing." Alandia commented. Rei Shigure was licking her ice cream happily. Alandia glanced at her vest and reminded her slightly awkwardly: "Ms. Shigure, the illusion has been lifted. You can return to your normal clothes."
"Ah?" Rei Shigure licked his ice cream, "She didn't tease me."
"...?"
Alandia and Qin Qianbai turned their heads stiffly and looked at someone who was still dressed in a vacuum. The eldest lady was shocked: "You said...what?"
Rei Shigure tugged on his shirt and said casually: "It's so hot and I didn't wear anything to begin with. What's wrong?"
Two traditional and decent women received the biggest shock of the day at this moment. Qiluo on the long pole cried bitterly: "I just have time to tease Alandia more. Rei Shigure is like that because she is a pervert!"
Shigure Rei lay down comfortably on the beach chair and crossed his legs: "Anyway, what does it mean to be at home? You guys can give it a try~"
"Can you blame me for overthinking? Can you blame me!" Gongsun Ce shouted angrily, "I call on all crew members to learn from Miss Shigure! Throw away useless fabrics and welcome the coolness of summer!"
"Miss Qin, give Ce an extra coat." "Got it, please make it three meters taller by the way."
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die!" "If I don't let go, I'm going to be reincarnated!"
The brutal execution of the two perverts lasted until half an hour before lunch.
On the other hand, after lunch time, Gongsun Ce was pleasantly surprised to find that his suspicion had completely disappeared. Perhaps, this can also be called a blessing in disguise!
