Chapter 6.01 âReturn of the Di Daughter
As Su Wan was withdrawing from the mission world, Ye Xin still hadnât returned from the meeting at Headquarters. She checked her newly gained 50,000 points in the communicator and subconsciously pulled up the Lost Time-Space Agentâs shopping mall list.
In the past, she would blankly stare at the top name in the list.
Today, she took a look as usual â
Key to the Buried Heart.
A disposable one-use item, only to be used to open the Casket of the Buried Heart. A disposable item with a sky-high price, Su Wan had been aiming for such a thing in the past.
A precious item that was equivalent to the Key to the Buried Heart was called Casket of the Buried Heart.
In the entire Lost Space-Time, only one person had used this luxury good. One, that was so expensive that ordinary people would flinch.
That person, is Xu Ce â
âMy heart isnât here, so I canât love nor can I be hurt.â
To this day, Su Wan still remembered that day Xu Ce pointed to his heart and calmly said this to her.
No heart, so I wonât love.
No heart, so it wonât hurt.
Su Wan sighed and gently stroked her chest. Once upon a time, she thought that she already had no heart, and had forgotten how to loveâŠ..
This was perhaps the difference between her and Xu Ce.
He regarded himself as an ice-cold machine and could even seal away his heart.
From the very beginning, Su Wan has never been able to do as such like himâŠâŠ
Lost Space-Time, Space-Time Headquarters.
When Ye Xin came out of the meeting room, she saw that unforgettable figure.
He stood perfectly straight in front of the window, the sunlight from outside was scattered on his shoulder. It was as if his elegant looks were covered by a layer of pale glimmer.
âSection Chief Xu.â
Ye Xin hesitated but still stepped forward and shot Xu Ce a greeting.
Xu Ce dropped his eyes slightly to look at Ye Xin and smiled gently. He was always so gentle and refined like a jade from which people canât glimpse true emotions.
âYou wereâŠ.. waiting for me?â
Ye Xin was actually somewhat unsure, but there was no one in the meeting room now. Since she had just recently took up office, she had to stay behind a bit for some additional words explaining the handover. When she came out, the others had already left.
âEn.â
Hearing Ye Xinâs query, Xu Ce softly nodded.
This made Ye Xin somewhat surprised, but in an instant, she thought of something else: âDo youâŠ. Have something you want to ask me? ConcerningâŠ. Su Wan?â
Su Wan âŠâŠ
Xu Ceâs gaze focused slightly: âShe, how has she been recently?â
Although it was a simple question, Xu Ce seemed to have gathered a lot of determination to ask it.
He hadnât been conflicted like this for a long-long-time now.
En, this kind of feeling, seems that it should be called âcomplicatedâ?
Abandoning his emotions and desires for too long, he felt that he was even more like a robot, completely unable to truly experience a personâs feelings.
But âŠ..
Still cared a bit.
That woman who wholeheartedly took him down with her in those years.
Sure enoughâŠ..
When she heard Xu Ceâs inquiry, Ye Xin immediately smiled and squinted: âSu Wan is very well. Recently, she is also very conscientious in her work. Maybe she will overtake me one day. When that time comes, at the next meeting, Section Chief Xu can personally ask her about her recent situation.â
Although they were in the same Space-Time, there was usually no intersection because all the departments in the Lost Space-Time were separated.
To see Su Wan againâŠ..
When Xu Ce heard what Ye Xin said, he lightly smiled as before: âSection Chief Ye also shouldnât doubt yourself, and also, I thinkâŠ. that soon enough, me and herâŠ. will very quickly meet.â
When she heard Xu Ceâs response, Ye Xin froze and then suddenly remembering that the cross-department practice exercises â taking place once every 3 years â would begin soon.
3 years ago, Su Wan was not here. Now, as the Plane Destroyersâ number 2, Su Wan would definitely participate in this yearâs Cross-Department Practice Drill, and Xu Ce would definitely appear.
âTime passed by so fast, itâs almost time for the practice drill ah! Does Section Chief Xu still have the confidence to win the championship this year?â
In each cross-departmental drill, three elite agents from each department would participate and everyone would simultaneously participate in a mission world with no storyline. At this time, everyoneâs golden finger would become invalid in this task world â
In the same world, there is no difference between the enemy and us. It is difficult to distinguish the real from the imitation.
Fights were allowed between the different departments.
The whole trial was divided into two Space-Times, the preliminary and finals. The preliminary world had a time limit. When the time limit is reached, the people who were still alive would advance smoothly, but the finals time-space will be more cruel â a slaughter that raced against time, the last one alive would be the winner.
After Xu Ce became the Plane Restorer Departmentâs No. 1, he has never lost âŠ..
And these past few years, the competitors of the Plane Destroyer Headquarters were practically all killed by Xu Ce, including Ye Xin herself. Just thinking about it made her heart feel incomparably stifled!
When Ye Xin was very upset, Xu Ce just smiled lightly: âI will go all out, jiayou to you too.â 1
Saying as such, he already confidently turned his back and left.
To hell with âgo all outâ ah!
Ye Xin felt that she needed to immediately return to discuss about it with Su Wan, to see if they could find Xu Ceâs weakness.
Even if it was the smallest weak point, it was extremely good ah!
She didnât believe that Xu Ce was like a precise and accurate machine, not having any weak points at all?
Unfortunately, in the end, Ye Xin was disappointed.
Because when she returned to the Plane Destroyerâs Headquarters, she was informed that Su Wan just entered Task Cabin No. 3 to perform a mission.
In addition to heaving a sigh upon learning this news, Ye Xinâs heart also couldnât help but feel curious â
Donât tell me that Su Wan had some sentiments for Task Cabin No. 3?
Then why would she be unwilling to change to a new task cabin?
