236: Chapter 34: Those Green Young Boys and Girls 236: Chapter 34: Those Green Young Boys and Girls Li Mumu didn’t stop Wang Yunxiao from drinking her cola right away, and soon realized that her reaction was off.
At this moment, she should be feeling a bit shy.
Normally, a polite person wouldn’t just drink from someone else’s leftover beverage because it could spread Helicobacter pylori—not really.
But you also have to consider emergencies, like if I’m exceptionally thirsty and you just happen to have a bottle of water.
In such a case, if it’s between close buddies, whether guys or gals, they wouldn’t mind letting you have a sip, provided that you don’t bite their straw or lick the bottle rim.
In the future, ideological views are more liberal and open.
If you were in this era, that would definitely be inappropriate, not to mention drinking a beverage a girl has left half-finished, even if your sister-in-law pours you a drink, saying “Uncle, have a drink with me”—that would also be inappropriate.
Although she knew Wang Yunxiao did it to take his medication and didn’t touch the bottle rim, Li Mumu felt that if she didn’t react at all, it wouldn’t fit her character.
Understanding is one thing, but couldn’t a lady have even a little sense of shame?
So, what should she do now?
How could she make up for it?
Li Mumu took a deep breath and held it.
Wang Yunxiao didn’t think too much into it; as a guy with normal XP orientation, he tended to be quite straightforward in these minor details.
I’m testing the medicine for you, what’s wrong with taking a sip of your soda?
After downing the last bit of cola from the bottle, Wang Yunxiao wiped his mouth and looked up to see the girl’s face turning red, turning her head away, not daring to meet his eyes, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Ah, I overstepped.
Though I didn’t use your straw, nor did I touch your bottle rim…
But with women, can you really reason?
Aren’t the girls who come back from overseas supposed to be very open?
Why does this girl still look so innocent and tender?
It might be because of strict upbringing.
I saw her parents last time at her place; they are very traditional and serious people.
A young lady from such a scholarly family is definitely different from the heartless girls in the streets.
That’s what I say, but your shyness is making me feel awkward.
It’s as if I did something to you.
Trying to reverse the awkward situation, Wang Yunxiao looked at the notebook on the table and naturally changed the subject, “Miss Li, where did you get this notebook?
It looks familiar to me.”
Familiar?
Li Mumu, who had been silently holding her breath, instantly turned her head to look at Wang Yunxiao, then quickly lowered her head to conceal her sharp gaze.
What decent person would find a notebook familiar?
No, what decent person would find this notebook familiar?
“You mean this notebook?
It was a gift from a friend overseas…”
Li Mumu quickly wove her words in her mind.
Since he’s already mentioned it, he must know something about this notebook.
But why?
What’s his identity?
What are his intentions?
She rapidly searched her memory for the initial information about this notebook.
[You remember that this notebook originally came from a priest of the Apocalypse Sect who used it to explore the functionalities of objects and lead his followers to target suitable victims.
According to Wendy, this notebook also seemed to have a communication function, which you haven’t figured out yet.]
[If Wendy isn’t mistaken, then there are definitely other notebooks.]
“She told me it’s a Magic Notebook, and if she writes something in her notebook, it will display the same on my end.”
Li Mumu’s face appropriately displayed a hint of longing and sadness.
“But up until now, I’ve received no messages from her, maybe because the Pacific Ocean in between us is too vast.”
Such an innocent child, haven’t you ever suspected she’s just stringing you along?
But…
this notebook actually has remote communication capability?
If I always carry it with me, could it leak all my personal privacy information?
At first, Wang Yunxiao was a bit nervous and anxious, but then he thought, what personal privacy information do I have that is worth leaking?
If you really want to be so particular about it, aren’t those who start with the system fully monitored?
If others aren’t worried, why should I be?
“Are these kinds of notebooks popular overseas?”
Wang Yunxiao observed Li Mumu’s facial expressions discreetly as he casually took out his own notebook from his pocket, “Look, this one I found, its cover is exactly the same as yours.”
Found?
An alarm bell rang instantly in Li Mumu’s heart.
Those words, she seemed to have heard them from Arthur before.
Is it again the inertia of fate?
That inertia is a bit too strong, isn’t it!
Doesn’t it mean that the greasy young man named Arthur, even if he hadn’t died at my hands, still couldn’t escape his deadly fate?
To be precise, it should be described as a “death calamity.”
Finding this notebook is not strange, the problem is where it was found.
Do you also like rummaging through trash cans?
At that moment, Wang Yunxiao just flipped open the notebook, and the text on it began to appear line by line.
“Detecting similar item: Level I Magic Artifact—Moses Notebook ID■”
“Reading data exception, connection failed, manually connect?”
Exactly the same as the text that had just appeared on his side.
This little thing is quite intelligent; I’ll have to study its operating principle when I get the chance and rewrite the underlying code.
Just to make sure the original author didn’t leave any backdoors.
As Li Mumu thought about how to rewrite the underlying architecture of her notebook, she exclaimed in surprise, “Really!
It’s just like mine and can talk too!
Where did you find this notebook?”
“While I was investigating Jiang Yinyin, I encountered a creature neither human nor ghost.”
Since Wang Yunxiao couldn’t understand the content written in the other notebook, he was forced to assume that the other might have the ability to detect lies, so he had to selectively tell the truth.
He rolled up his sleeve, showing Li Mumu the stitched wound on his arm.
“That guy was tough, and it was quite a struggle for me, but he didn’t end up well either.
If you hear any rumors about me killing someone in the street, they are actually referring to him.
This notebook fell from his body.”
Having said that, Wang Yunxiao thought for a moment, then lowered his voice and cautioned, “Mr.
Tong is not a good person, and there’s much depth to him.
If he comes to find you again, no matter the pretext, you should not go out with him casually.”
“I know he’s not a good person.”
Li Mumu looked at the notebook, “Shall we…
try to manually connect?”
“How to connect?”
Li Mumu took out a pen and wrote “Agree to connect” on the notebook.
The writing on both notebooks disappeared instantly, looking as though a restart button had been pressed.
Wang Yunxiao raised an eyebrow, “Did you write that in English?”
“It’s Latin.”
Li Mumu explained seriously, “You know I was born overseas, I can only speak Chinese but hardly spell it, there are many Chinese characters I don’t recognize…
Oh, by the way, how are you feeling now?
Feeling hot?”
Wang Yunxiao touched his forehead, “Not hot, I feel nothing at all!”
