"Then let's go."
Mo Xuan washed his face by the sink and regained his spirit. Zhu Yuan and he left the office together, then drove their respective cars to the restaurant for the celebration banquet.
In a high-end restaurant a few blocks away from the Public Security Bureau, it was already full of people. The celebration banquet was not just for the Criminal Investigation Special Operations Unit. Since they were here, of course all the personnel who had contributed were invited. The people at the top were not stingy. The soldiers fought with their wits and courage in the Hollows. If the rewards were not in place, then there would be no next time. This was also for all departments to be able to operate for the government in a down-to-earth manner.
Mo Xuan was actually more popular than he had imagined. Not in terms of his luck with women, but because his performance in the Public Security Bureau was outstanding. He was also very kind to people usually. Everyone knew that he was brought up by Zhu Yuan, and his personality was also similar to Zhu Yuan's. He did not have any arrogant attitude because his captain was Zhu Yuan. In addition, he was always the first to charge in during a Hollow incident. The seniors were all very optimistic about this newcomer.
"I heard that you haven't missed a single operation related to the Hollow since you joined the Public Security Bureau. You've even been to that place, Hollow Zero. As expected of a young man."
Mo Xuan was currently being held by the neck by a muscular man. Others were also jeering and pouring wine into his mouth. This made him very helpless. These middle-aged uncles were a bit too enthusiastic, nagging him about his experiences in and out of the Hollows. It was only at this time that Mo Xuan would realize that the Hollow was actually a very dangerous place. For an ordinary person, every time was a life-and-death test. Only people like him and Zhu Yuan could treat it like their own backyard.
These seniors at this time regarded Mo Xuan as a person with the same potential as Zhu Yuan. For the Public Security Bureau to have these two talents at once, it could be said to be full of talents. It seemed that in the Hollow missions they participated in, the casualties would be very few.
"I can't hold my liquor. Excuse me, excuse me."
Mo Xuan finally broke free from the enthusiastic men. He didn't drink in the first place and couldn't chat with these middle-aged men. He could only come to the balcony to cool down in the night wind.
The celebration banquet was located on the tenth floor of the restaurant. This was the first time Mo Xuan had stood at a high place to see the scenery of New Eridu. Below was a scene of bustling prosperity with red lights and green wine. The lights of various colors illuminated the streets. If it weren't for the Hollows, who could believe that this was an oasis in a post-apocalyptic wasteland? It was just like an ordinary big city.
"Mo Xuan, you're out too."
Zhu Yuan's voice sounded from the side. Mo Xuan saw her come out with a drink. Her uniform had not changed. It just had fewer gun and equipment parts. She was still as beautiful.
"Were you also forced to drink by the seniors?"
Mo Xuan asked curiously.
"Our women's group is not so enthusiastic. I just wanted to come out for a walk."
Zhu Yuan replied with a smile. In fact, she had followed him out after seeing him escape. This was a chance to chat. She didn't want to miss it.
"Then let's walk."
Mo Xuan and Zhu Yuan walked on the long balcony. The scale of the banquet hall was not small. It would take a few minutes to walk to the end. Compared to the lively banquet scene, the outside was much quieter.
"Mo Xuan, the thing I wanted to ask you before, that friend you were in a hurry to save yesterday, I think I saw her."
Zhu Yuan said what she was concerned about. Before, there was no free time. Now that there was such a time, she really wanted to know who the girl next to Mo Xuan was. If he chose to hide it, the female officer would actually tactfully avoid this topic.
"Oh, you saw her. Her name is Belle. She sells videotapes in my neighborhood. I often go there."
Mo Xuan had no intention of hiding it and talked about Belle as if it were a daily chat. Hearing him say this, Zhu Yuan suddenly felt a sense of relief, but she still did not let her guard down.
"I see. You two have a very good relationship, right? I've never seen you in such a hurry."
"Probably quite good? I have very few friends. I don't know how to describe it. But she is indeed very good to me. Yesterday, she was trapped in a Hollow because she went to find a videotape I wanted to watch."
Mo Xuan made a thinking expression. He was really not sure about his relationship with Belle. It was more like frenemies than friends. But he could feel her sincerity.
"I see. Then she must have been very happy after being saved by you."
Zhu Yuan deliberately asked this.
"She was indeed very happy. She even gave me a kiss."
"A kiss?! Where?"
A crack appeared in the glass cup that Zhu Yuan was holding. The heart she had just put down was now higher than before. Without her knowing, such an enemy had already appeared. If this were an Ethereal, she would have kicked it long ago. But this was a human.
"On the cheek. She said this was the Sixth Street way of saying thank you. I've also seen this kind of scene in movies. It's quite common."
Mo Xuan pointed to the place where he was kissed and said. Zhu Yuan looked at him suspiciously for a while. After finding that he really wasn't joking, she was sure that he should have been led astray. This person was really simple.
"It is indeed quite common. Sometimes Senior Qingyi also does this."
Zhu Yuan said.
"Really? Then what about me?"
Mo Xuan pointed to himself with expectation and asked, acting like a pervert. In fact, he just wanted to know what it felt like to be kissed by a robot. He was actually quite interested in humanoid creatures other than humans because he had never been in contact with them on the Earth he had lived on before.
"In your dreams. She doesn't kiss the opposite sex."
Zhu Yuan gave Mo Xuan a white eye and let him figure it out himself. Although Qingyi looked like an old woman, she was not a person without a sense of propriety. She basically only acted spoiled with Zhu Yuan.
"Alright."
Mo Xuan spread his hands and said, without any disappointment. Zhu Yuan couldn't help but laugh when she saw him like this.
"Mo Xuan, we made a great contribution in the Seventh Street incident this time. How about we go out and relax on the weekend? According to past practice, an associated Hollow will not appear frequently. There should be no urgent missions."
Zhu Yuan lowered her head and looked at the cracked glass cup in her hand. Holding it with both hands, she gave her invitation in a seemingly unintentional tone. This was her first time inviting a male out on a date. Although it was not explicitly stated as a date, the meaning would not change because of it.
"Sure! Where do you want to go?"
Mo Xuan agreed without any hesitation. He had been thinking of asking Zhu Yuan out on the weekend. He didn't expect her to come to him herself. Was there such a good thing? This must be a reward for defeating the Ethereals.
"In the morning, we'll first go for a morning run to warm up. After a break, we'll go to the stadium to play tennis. We'll have lunch on the street. In the afternoon, we'll go to the swimming pool. How about watching a movie at night?"
Zhu Yuan became enthusiastic when she talked about the date plan. She briefly described it and had already arranged the whole day's events.
"Zhu Yuan, why are you so skilled? Do you often go on dates?"
Mo Xuan looked at Zhu Yuan with surprise and said. He really hadn't seen it before. She was so attentive to a date.
"Of course not! You're the first person I've asked out. These are just my preferred ways to spend a holiday. Compared to sitting still, I prefer to be active."
Zhu Yuan immediately denied Mo Xuan's guess. This was also what she would do on her days off. The plan for spending her holiday with Mo Xuan had actually existed in her computer for a long time. It had been revised several times before it was finalized.
"Right, you're a sports expert. Your muscles are even firmer than mine."
Mo Xuan casually commented.
"What did you say?"
A slightly dangerous feeling appeared in Zhu Yuan's gaze.
"Nothing. I am very happy to exercise with the captain."
"Then it's a deal."
Zhu Yuan saw that Mo Xuan had agreed without hesitation. His attitude was so good. She couldn't help but nod with satisfaction. In her heart, she thought that a person still had to have competition to improve. Even if it was just her imaginary enemy, it was thanks to her existence that she could take this step.
"Mo Xuan, if only you were that mysterious knight."
Zhu Yuan came out with this sentence out of the blue. This scared Mo Xuan so much he almost jumped off the balcony. He even suspected that with a single order from Zhu Yuan, three hundred axemen would immediately run out of the banquet hall. The seniors who had just been so kind would want to capture him and slice him up for research. Half of his body was numb.
