Chapter 222: The Accident at the Bottom of the Pool
"Alice is going too?" Xia Xiaoyu tried hard to put on a friendly and kind smile.
Su Ming nodded: "Alice said she wanted to go together. She was bored alone."
"Well, let's go together!" Xia Xiaoyu said with a smile, but in her heart she was cursing this damn fate.
She took a bath very seriously for today, but she couldn't refuse Alice's request. After all, Alice was Su Ming's "daughter", so she was also her "daughter".
Although Alice called her sister, she was actually a mother, or so she thought.
"District Chief! Wait a moment! Please wait a moment."
Just as the three were about to set off, a woman in the distance ran over, calling Su Ming.
Jiang Yun came over at a trot, and the scene of his running was quite spectacular.
Xia Xiaoyu stared at Jiang Yun's chest and took a breath. She looked down at her chest, then suddenly turned her head to look at Su Ming, observing the direction of Su Ming's gaze.
Sure enough! His focus is exactly the same as hers!
"Hey! Who is she?" Xia Xiaoyu asked coldly, with a hint of sharpness in her words.
Su Ming felt a chill down his spine and replied with a wry smile, "My assistant was arranged by the minister! I heard she has a boyfriend."
"Boyfriend? How do you know she has a boyfriend? Did you ask her?" Xia Xiaoyu's tone became increasingly weird, and murderous intent uncontrollably filled her eyes.
"Of course I wouldn't ask! Why would I ask this? I'm asking on behalf of someone else! A colleague wanted to pursue her, and since Jiang Yun is my subordinate, he wanted me to hint at her, so I asked for his help." Su Ming's mind raced, and he lied without hesitation, without even realizing it.
Su Ming's subconscious intuition told him that if he told the truth when facing Xiaoyu's question just now, the dinner party would become very, very unpleasant.
"So that's how it is." Xia Xiaoyu nodded thoughtfully, and the sharp aura on her body slowly dissipated.
Jiang Yun was already close by now. She was panting, her chest heaving violently with her breathing.
Jiang Yun rested on her knees for a long time before she caught her breath. She looked at Alice and said to Su Ming, "District Chief, we received a temporary notice that someone from the Analysis Department wants to borrow Alice to study the anomaly of a containment object."
"Eh? Didn't they say there's no more Alice?" Su Ming asked in surprise.
"But Fang Ling said that there is a piece of data that is not recorded, and Alice must go back." Jiang Yun glanced at Alice.
Alice pouted, grabbed Su Ming's pants and protested, "I don't want to! I want to go out to eat with my dad!"
Su Ming touched Alice's little head and wanted to fight for Alice: "It's a quick meal, are you in such a hurry?"
"Su Ming! The research of the Analysis Department is very important. I think we should let Alice go back for a while."
Xia Xiaoyu leaned over and touched Alice 's cheek with a smile on her face.
Then he squatted down, pinched Alice's little face, and coaxed her, "Alice, be good this time, okay? Sister will bring you some delicious food later, and your father and I will prepare a mysterious little gift for you, how about it?"
Alice looked into Xia Xiaoyu's eyes and nodded reluctantly, like a sick chick pecking at rice.
She let go of Su Ming's trouser legs and walked towards Jiang Yun. After taking a step, she suddenly turned around and stretched out her hand to Xia Xiaoyu: "Pink Pinky!"
"Okay, pinky promise!"
Xia Xiaoyu carefully fulfilled the childish agreement with the other party.
God help me! The world of three people becomes the world of two people again - perfect!
Little Alice, mom is sorry for you this time. I will buy you some interesting little gifts to make it up to you later, Xia Xiaoyu thought.
She had already made up her mind. Little girls all like beautiful toys. Tomorrow she would go to the largest shopping mall in Dongyang Island and get an expensive and exquisite doll and a hardcover fairy tale book for Alice.
After seeing Alice off, Su Ming and Xia Xiaoyu went to the bottom of the pool to fish for dinner.
Along the way, Xia Xiaoyu was doing two things at once. On the one hand, she racked her brains to talk about interesting topics that she had collected on the Internet, and on the other hand, she was reviewing the progress of the plan in her mind. Her heart was beating fast because she had decided that she must take down Su Ming today!
As the saying goes, the longer the night, the more dreams you will have. Since you will have to take action sooner or later, why wait until you are deeply in love? Wouldn't it be better to slowly cultivate the intensity of the relationship after the rice is cooked?
In Xia Xiaoyu's eyes, going to the bottom of the pool to eat hot pot is just a trivial step. The purpose is to store energy for night activities and fill the stomach to increase happiness. There is no need to take any action during the process.
Xia Xiaoyu was particular about choosing a dining location. Chidi Lao not only had a lively atmosphere, but was also located in the center of Dongyang Island, in the largest commercial complex. This place provided a one-stop service for food, drink, entertainment, and accommodation, and was an investment property of the super aristocratic Wang family that had been passed down for two hundred years.
Under normal circumstances, the nobles would never be allowed to interfere in the construction of Dongyang Island, but the Wang family was a rare noble family that recognized the situation when human supremacy emerged many years ago.
When other nobles still thought that they would always be in the ruling class, the Wang family changed their tune early on, put aside their airs as old nobles, and actively interacted with the alliance.
By now, they have formed a family structure of half power and half business, becoming the role model of the new aristocracy and the best-performing group among the aristocracy.
This Baida Plaza is the island-wide entertainment venue that the Wang family has been working hard to promote recently, with the goal of building high-quality entertainment venues with a good reputation on every island around the world.
Although something seems to have happened to the Wang family recently and the stock price of Baida Plaza has plummeted, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, not to mention that there is an alliance backing them up, so the Baida Plazas on most islands still look presentable.
Xia Xiaoyu thought that this dinner should be safe, but she didn't expect that it was in this damn hot pot restaurant that she would fall twice!
After fishing at the bottom of the pool, the clerk greeted Su Ming warmly, and then placed a cute plush bear toy opposite Su Ming's seat. This toy is usually taken out and used only by a single person visiting the store. It was placed next to Xia Xiaoyu, taking up a large space.
Later, when they were halfway through the hotpot, because Su Ming ordered a bowl of juggling dragon beard noodles, the waiter from Chidi Lao came to them with the dragon beard noodles to perform. The waiter's younger brother showed off his skills crazily, and under his operation, the noodles were thrown gorgeously on Xia Xiaoyu's face. She felt that her eyes were almost blinded.
Xia Xiaoyu was in the mood to kill someone, but Su Ming took a step ahead and started quarreling with the shy little brother. The shy little brother had no idea where he was wrong, and the situation became very ugly for a while.
Fortunately, the manager of the pool fisherman came out to mediate and gave away three plates of meat slices. In addition, Xia Xiaoyu persuaded Su Ming from the side, and the matter was finally over.
All in all, Xia Xiaoyu felt that the meal was terrible. It was the worst hotpot experience she had ever had in her life.
Even after finishing the meal and walking out of the hot pot restaurant, Su Ming was still angry. Seeing Su Ming's angry look, Xia Xiaoyu felt very happy.
"Hey, there's nothing to be angry about! He can't see me! Why are you angry with that guy?" Xia Xiaoyu said.
"I told him in advance not to throw the noodles at your position. I reminded him several times during the process. Why did he still throw it? Doesn't he have ears?" Su Ming said unhappily.
"He must not understand what you mean. After all, he can't see me and thinks you are just saying it casually."
Su Ming stopped, walked up to Xia Xiaoyu, reached out to lift the hair in front of Xia Xiaoyu's forehead, and looked into her eyes carefully.
"Did you get hit in the eye just now? Does it hurt?"
Xia Xiaoyu stared at Su Ming's face for a few seconds at close range, her cheeks felt hot, and she quickly lowered her head.
"No, it doesn't hurt!"
"Then let's go to the movies. You got the movie tickets, right?"
"Yeah! Let's go to the movies!"
Xia Xiaoyu also regained her spirit and decided to continue to carry out her plan!
Su Ming and Xia Xiaoyu were fished out from the bottom of the pool and took the escalator to the cinema on the third floor to watch a movie.
Xia Xiaoyu reviewed the plan in her mind. She would go to the cinema on the third floor to watch a movie and then have a drink. While drinking, she would drug the person, go upstairs, and get a room all in one go.
After careful calculation, the walking distance, excluding the elevator, is only two to three hundred meters, which is very convenient.
"It's right here, come in! The movie starts in five minutes!"
Xia Xiaoyu pointed at the dark entrance of the cinema and said, she took a deep breath and tensed her nerves.
From now on, the plan officially begins.
…
"You may...maybe you don't understand...there are also good things in weirdness. I really love humans."
"No! You can't die! Jenny!"
"I'm sorry, I can't protect you anymore, but I hope you can be happy for the rest of your life . I hope you can be happy."
On the big screen, a creature shaped like a humanoid sloth was communicating with a little girl in human language. As the words of farewell were spoken, this touching movie came to an end. There was sobbing in the cinema, and people felt sad for the touching plot of the movie.
A long time ago, movies like "I'm So Weird" would never appear, because people at that time subjectively believed that all weirds were bad. Even though many weirds were relatively friendly to humans, these kind weirds seemed so insignificant under 99% of weird disasters.
In addition, given the social situation, under tremendous public pressure, the glorification of the weird was still not allowed to appear. This public opinion stance was correct until the appearance of the humanoid sloth named Jenny.
The humanoid sloth moved all human beings, and its story was adapted into a movie. Today, "I Am So Weird" is the seventh adapted story.
Xia Xiaoyu sat in her seat blankly, holding popcorn in her hand, staring at the big screen with a complicated expression.
According to the original plan, she should cry and act delicately, but she was thinking about a lot of things now, including the monsters she had encountered before that could communicate with humans.
