Chapter 1072 Familiarity and Change

Zijing observed the two of them, touched the personal terminal on his ear, and wanted to send a message to the headquarters, but at this moment, the waiter in the restaurant served the food, and he had to withdraw his hand temporarily.

When the waiter left, Zijing quickly turned his gaze back, but his hand reaching for his personal terminal stopped again. Because he saw that Cecilia looked at the new things around her, as if she had never seen a bird in a cage outside, full of curiosity and desire.

So, Zijing put down her hand and ate her lunch in silence.

I am really a good assistant to Otto... (laughs)

"……found it."

At the same time, in a building several floors away from the restaurant where Zijing was.

The brown-haired man and the blue-haired girl have also set their sights on the boys and girls outside.

The brown-haired man turned around and prepared to take action, but the next moment he stopped and looked at a nearby Houmu Happy Restaurant with some doubt.

"..."

"what happened?"

"…I don't know if it's an illusion, but I sense another [of the same kind]."

“…This can only be an illusion.”

……

By the time Amethyst finished his meal, Siegfried and Cecilia had already wandered off to who knows where, but he didn't care.

No matter they are friends you met by chance or lovers having an affair, you still have other things to do now.

"Hey, where did you go?"

A pink-haired girl walked over from a distance, wearing local clothes. Although she was an adult, the twin ponytails on her head made her look young and energetic.

"I've had dinner."

Zijing showed the toothpick she had picked, then threw it into the trash can. She then took out the small gift of a Houmu pendant given by the waiter at Houmu Happy Restaurant and said, "I'll give you one."

"…Do you think I would like this kind of thing?"

The girl shook her head, refusing to accept the kindness of the young man in front of her.

"I thought that at your age, Miss Lin, you wouldn't hate this kind of thing." Zijing took the pendant back with regret.

"How old do you think I am?"

Yae Rin glanced at him, hugged her chest and snorted.

"Eighteen...at least that's what it looks like on the outside." Amethyst said.

"Don't you want to guess your real age? You look like you are twelve years old, but you are actually almost an adult, right?" Yae Rin sneered, looking at the young man in front of him.

"No, I'm afraid if I guess too high, Miss Lin, you will hit me." Zijing shook her head.

"Tell me, I promise not to hit you." Yae Rin said indifferently. She has lived for five hundred years, so naturally she would not care about such trivial matters.

"Well, then I guess Miss Lin, you are already a 50,000-year-old monster." Zijing said boldly.

"..."

"Ms. Lin, are you angry? You said you wouldn't hit me." Zijing stepped back, protecting her chest.

"Huh... Why did you say the number 50,000? We humans weren't even born at that time, right?" Yae Rin took a deep breath and said with a forced smile.

"I just said it casually, please don't blame me Miss Lin, I just feel that this number is destined to be with me."

Zijing looked at her with a smile, "And wasn't it you, Miss Lin, who asked me to guess?"

"Even if you're just guessing, you should have some common sense..."

Yae Rin snorted, looking up and down at the boy who was very reserved a few years ago, but now seemed like a completely different person. "I can't believe that after these few years, you have become so open. I made a bet with my sister before that you will definitely end up alone in the future."

"Why do you think so? Even if it's just for the sake of my face, I wouldn't fall to the level you describe, right?" Amethyst retorted.

"Don't you want to look in the mirror? No one would be attracted to you except a pedophile." Yae Rin curled her lips.

"…Ms. Rin, I've been wanting to ask you this for a while. Are you a little too hostile to me?"

Zijing and Yae Rin got together this time originally to inspect the second laboratory, but their plan was temporarily interrupted. They could only stay nearby for a while and found a hotel to stay in.

"Have you forgotten? Didn't you keep talking to me before, and pretending to be very familiar with me...it's hard not to think that you have other intentions." Yae Rin looked at him warily. She was not like her sister, with weak fighting ability. At least if the man in front of her forced himself on her one night, she would definitely not be able to resist.

"You know me well...?"

Zijing himself was also stunned. He and Yae Rin only had work as their intersection. When they met normally, they would just nod and say hello to each other at most. They were not even friends. Now that he thought about it, the conversation he had with Yae Rin just now did not seem like that between strangers who were just nodding acquaintances.

Not to mention that during the few days of working together before this, his attitude towards Yae Rin was even more familiar, and sometimes when they were chatting so enthusiastically, he couldn't help but want to make small intimate gestures like touching her head or pinching her face.

Well...it's understandable that he is considered a suspicious person.

“This… is indeed a problem.”

Zijing took the initiative to agree with Yae Rin's point of view and admitted her mistake, "I'm sorry, I may have offended you before, um... I'm sorry, as compensation, if you need anything, you can tell me."

"..."

Seeing that Zijing admitted his mistake in a good manner, Yae Rin didn't make things difficult for him.

She herself was a little puzzled. The way this guy had treated her in the past few days was obviously very annoying, but she had endured it until today before speaking out.

Maybe some of this guy's words and actions are indeed a bit like her brother who disappeared for hundreds of years? So she is a little more tolerant of him.

"Okay, where did you go for dinner?"

Yae Rin asked, which completely brought up the topic just now.

"The only Hom's Happy Restaurant on this street." Zijing pointed in the direction behind her.

"You lead the way, I don't know him. Also, you'll treat me." Yae Rin hugged his chest, looking like someone who was not someone he was going to deal with. The suspicion of the man in front of him had not been completely cleared, and who knew if he wanted to let her let her guard down and then take him down in one fell swoop.

When it comes to dating, she has a lot of experience on paper and will never let a man with bad intentions succeed.

"But the funds for this operation are in your hands, Miss Lin... I just spent my own money on my meal." Zijing took out her wallet, which was full. A few banknotes fell to the ground and she was too lazy to pick them up.

"Didn't you say you would compensate me before? Did you forget so quickly?"

"Well, I thought you would be more polite, Ms. Rin, or use this opportunity for something more needed."

"..."

Yae Rin stopped talking. Her only wish now was to find her brother. As for the rest... she didn't think that this little assistant in front of her could come up with anything that would impress her.
