Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 552
[Chapter 549 There Must Be Something Wrong with This]
Long Jiu and Cheng Xiaodong were discussing that someone was pretending to be a gambler, extorting money everywhere in the name of a charity gambling ship, and cooperating to eliminate the remaining terrorists.
David had already strolled back to his suite. He looked at Cheng Le’er who was still sleeping in the bedroom, and turned back to the living room. He sat down next to Sofia and watched a movie together.
“I’m a little sleepy. I’m going to sleep.”
Cheng Xiaoxi glanced at David with a red face, lowered her head and hurried back to the bedroom. She slammed the door shut, and the sound of her locking the door could still be heard.
“…”
Sofia looked at Cheng Xiaoxi’s panicked escape, and she was so happy that she almost fell to the ground. She used all her strength to control herself from laughing.
“Naughty.”
David looked at Sofia like this, and of course he knew why she was like this.
Although he was busy at that time, he could still notice that Sofia and Cheng Xiaoxi had come back. The two of them had been eavesdropping in the living room for a long time. Of course, he knew it.
However, he did not pay special attention to it, nor did he eavesdrop on the conversation between Sofia and Cheng Xiaoxi, so he did not know what Sofia said.
He thought Sofia should have said a lot, so she did not hesitate to use magic to change her clothes.
As a result, when he asked, he found out that Sofia did not say much at all, but only knew that David and Sofia had some magical abilities that ordinary people could not understand.
“I thought you would tell her all about us directly.”
“Why? Are you interested in Banana too?” Sofia leaned against the sofa and put her legs on David’s legs: “That’s right, Le’er alone can’t handle you.”
“…” David slapped her lightly, leaving a light handprint: “Do you want to skip work?”
“Yes!”
Sofia jumped up from the sofa and ran into the bedroom where Le’er was resting at a speed faster than Cheng Xiaoxi.
“I’m resting, you can watch a movie by yourself!” She
also closed the door, and then there was a sound of locking it.
David looked at the doors on both sides that were also closed, shrugged his shoulders, and didn’t care too much. Anyway, he didn’t need to rest, so he just found something to do to pass the time.
Without watching the movie, you can also watch from a distance how Long Jiu and Cheng Xiaodong eliminated the remaining terrorists.
Releasing his spirit, David quickly found the two senior inspectors.
“Huh? Have they all been solved? Very efficient!”
He didn’t pay much attention to it before, but now that he had his spirit probed over, he could “see clearly” that although the terrorists were still distributed in different places on the ship, they had all been controlled.
The two senior inspectors did not kill them, and in the case of a sneak attack, they chose to capture them alive as much as possible.
I guess it was to make it more convenient to ask for intelligence later?
However, since the matter has been resolved, David will not pay too much attention to it.
Weapons and explosives, as well as how to deal with these criminals, are all Long Jiu and Cheng Xiaodong’s problems, and have nothing to do with him.
Retracting his perception, David picked up the catalog of the videotape and started to pick it up, ready to find a movie to kill time – in this comprehensive world, there are many movies that David has never seen or even heard of, and some movies that he was very familiar with in the past, but they were played by “another group of people”.
No matter which one he watched, it was a very novel experience for him.
“Ha, I’ve found new fun again.”
So, David, who lived in a suite with three young and beautiful girls, watched a movie happily all night…
The sunlight shone on his face, and Cheng Le’er, who was very sleepy, gradually woke up from her sweet dream.
Although she hadn’t opened her eyes yet, the feeling of the sunlight shining on her body and face forced her to react – she hummed a few times, arched her head on the pillow a few times, and finally opened her eyes reluctantly.
In fact, she was not so reluctant. After her consciousness returned to her brain, she remembered what happened yesterday.
The feeling of floating in the clouds and unable to come down, as if her body was about to fall apart, made her feel sore in the waist and legs even if she just thought about it.
Huh?
Cheng Le’er found that she didn’t seem to feel any discomfort except feeling a little weak.
I thought that last night was so crazy, and I would probably have to rest in the room for a day today. Is my body so good?
I opened my eyes to see the situation, but the first person who appeared in front of me was not David, but Sofia.
Is it coming? Should I express my attitude and position? Or explain that this is just a misunderstanding?
Although she had made up her mind long ago, Cheng Le’er still felt a little guilty when it came time to face Sofia.
As a result, Sofia’s first question stunned her.
“How is it? Do you feel any discomfort?”
“Ah?”
“Don’t be embarrassed, I know your current situation very well.” Sofia, with the posture of an experienced person, reached out and patted Cheng Le’er on the shoulder: “If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, just tell me, I can help.”
“No… No, I feel fine.” Cheng Le’er felt that the current situation was too weird. She suspected that she had not woken up at all and was dreaming now. This also explained why she didn’t feel any discomfort in her body-she felt like she was going to split yesterday.
She pinched herself secretly, but the pain told her that this was not a dream.
“If you’re okay, get up and eat. Breakfast has been served.”
“Oh~”
Facing the enthusiastic Sophia, Cheng Le’er had no idea what expression she should make. She put on the pajamas that Sophia helped her get, washed up, and walked out of the bedroom.
David was sitting at the dining table, where a steaming hot breakfast was already placed.
Cheng Le’er was led by Sophia to the dining table, and she was a little suspicious if there was a trap? Especially Sophia’s attitude towards her, why was she more enthusiastic than David? What was this routine?
She was a little panicked in her heart, and she also heard Sophia smilingly ask David: “Should we tell Le’er about our situation?”
What situation? What does this mean?
Cheng Le’er felt her heartbeat became much faster, and she was not as nervous as she was last night.
Just when she was worried that David would say something to make her sad, David said lightly: “I said it, but Le’er didn’t believe it.”
“???”
Cheng Le’er was full of question marks. What did David say to her that she didn’t believe again?
Nervousness and fear were instantly replaced by questions. Just as she was about to ask for clarification, the sound of a door opening suddenly rang out next to her.
She turned her head and saw Cheng Xiaoxi yawning and walking out.
She looked at the people at the table, said “Good morning”, and then sat down with a sleepy face.
Cheng Le’er looked at her friend’s sleepy and tired appearance, and compared it with her current state of no discomfort, she seriously suspected that it was Cheng Xiaoxi who almost broke apart yesterday, not herself.
Her thoughts were interrupted by this, and she forgot what she wanted to ask just now.
Several people were eating breakfast and talking about today’s plans. Cheng Le’er found that David was more enthusiastic about her than before, and even interacted with her intimately naturally, such as feeding her breakfast.
She originally thought that doing this in front of Sophia would be too arrogant? As a result, she found that Sophia didn’t care at all. What made her even more surprised was that Cheng Xiaoxi also looked indifferent. What happened after she fell asleep yesterday?
Could it be that… David also attacked Banana?
She looked at Cheng Xiaoxi suspiciously, but she actually avoided her sight.
Very suspicious!
Cheng Le’er wanted to ask for clarification, but she felt that the steaming breakfast in front of her was not fragrant anymore. After eating a few more bites, she asked Cheng Xiaoxi to go back to the bedroom to find something.
According to the original allocation, there were two bedrooms in the suite, one for Cheng Le’er and Cheng Xiaoxi, and one for David and Sophia. The
luggage had been moved into their respective rooms, so Cheng Le’er asked Cheng Xiaoxi to help her find things and choose clothes to wear today, which was a very suitable reason.
The two entered the room and closed the door again.
Sophia chewed the shrimp dumplings and looked at them, and asked David opposite: “Guess what they are going to say when they run back to the room?”
“Do you want me to guess?”
“I guess you can hear it.”
“Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t do this, and even if I heard it, I wouldn’t tell you.” David’s strength continued to grow, and he could do more and more things, but he tried not to abuse these abilities. Even if he could hear the private conversations of these close people around him with a little attention, he never did it.
The reason is very simple. He himself doesn’t like the feeling of being overheard by others when he whispers to his friends all the time.
He doesn’t like it himself, so he can’t force others to like this kind of thing.
Sophia was chewing the fried eggs with a smile. Although David rejected her request, she felt happier for some reason.
But the two people in the room were not so happy at this time.
After Cheng Le’er pulled Cheng Xiaoxi back to the room, she hesitated for a long time before asking the question.
In the end, she realized that she was wrong. Cheng Xiaoxi was just a little confused by Sophia’s weird operation yesterday. She was in this state because she didn’t get a good rest last night. It was not because of David’s poisonous hands.
“…”
Things were not very bad, Cheng Le’er secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But she realized that Cheng Xiaoxi and Sophia had been listening to the live broadcast yesterday, which made her feel very embarrassed.
Noticing that her friend’s cheeks were red enough to boil water, Cheng Xiaoxi took the initiative to ease the awkward atmosphere: “I always feel that Sophia and David are weird.”
“Yeah, I think so too. Why is Sophia not angry at all?”
“Not only is she not angry, I think she is very happy.”
Cheng Le’er suddenly had an idea and thought of a possibility: “Do you think David and Sophia are not the kind of relationship we have always thought?”
“…” Cheng Xiaoxi complained in her heart, “They are really good sisters”, and then denied Cheng Le’er’s guess: “She told me yesterday that they have confirmed their relationship a long time ago and have even met their parents.”
Cheng Le’er’s smile just disappeared, and she began to think about another possibility: Is David just playing around?
And Sophia also knows this, so she reacted like this?
