I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game Chapter 79 79: The Same Night Sky
Qiao Suisui was startled, not expecting him to speak to her given that the previous two tis she initiated conversation, he had ignored her. She slowly moved over and took a look around the clean and bright environnt. There was a room facing south that also had a terrace. A bit of tidying up would make it quite charming. She could sit on the terrace, bask in the sun, drink tea, and even grow so plants.
Anubis just stood aside, waiting for her to finish surveying the environnt, noticing that she liked the room with the terrace but remained noncommittal.
"You choose first, I'm fine with anything," Qiao Suisui said sowhat distantly, standing aside politely.
Anubis didn't say a word and directly entered another room. The space was roughly the sa size, but it lacked a terrace, and the sunlight was not as abundant.
Qiao Suisui was a bit astonished; she tilted her head, wondering if Anubis had intentionally given her the better room.
She followed him and stopped by his door without getting any closer.
"That— are you sure you want this room? It's next to the corridor; it might get noisy."
Anubis grunted in acknowledgnt, threw his bag on a chair, casually took off his shirt, revealing his muscular torso.
Facing this sudden action, Qiao Suisui forgot to react and was caught off guard by the sight of his powerful back. The young man's back muscles were sleek, his waist narrow, yet his shoulders were broad, and near his waistline were two sexy dimples. His arms were tattooed with patterns and text she couldn't understand.
"Anything else?" Anubis turned back, seeing her still standing there. He carelessly threw his dirty clothes onto the back of the chair, walked up to the door, and looked down at her. "Do you want this room?"
"No, no... I..." Qiao Suisui forgot what she was about to say.
This wouldn't do, it was only the first day, and she couldn't act like a girl!
She cleared her throat, feigning composure, "Thanks, bro," then raised her hand and tapped Anubis's shoulder awkwardly and hastily, tiptoeing because she was not tall enough.
Anubis looked puzzledly at his shoulder, then watched her quickly scamper back to her room and shut the door, the whole process smooth and swift, giving a sense of a panicked escape. He shook his head and chuckled, then sothing crossed his mind, and his smile gradually faded. His expression turned serious, staring at the closed room door with a complex gaze.
Behind the door, Qiao Suisui covered her chest and took a deep breath, slightly distracted, then suddenly shook her head and slapped her cheeks.
"Qiao Suisui, wake up, the prettier the mushroom, the more poisonous it is," she muttered a warning to herself.
In the evening, she organized her belongings, contacted Ruka and Leberli separately via video call, and responded to the ssage Zong Fang had left her.
Zong Fang explained to her everything he needed to deal with back in Soter, when he would be done, and insisted that she must wear the ring at all tis because he could monitor her physical condition in real-ti. Qiao Suisui knew that although he didn't say it, he was actually very worried about her condition during the pregnancy.
After assuring him she was safe, she was about to log out when she saw eleven missed calls, all from a domain na that was garbled. She was slightly baffled and called back unhurriedly.
"Hello, who is this?"
There was a mont of silence on the other end, then a voice said, "Fuck."
Qiao Suisui was sowhat taken aback and was just about to hang up when she heard a man's voice ask, "Who are you, where is she?"
Qiao Suisui blinked and, looking at the Light Computer's audio wavelength, asked, "Carl?"
At that mont, she hadn't worn off the effects of the Voice Changing Pills. Ruka and the others had heard them, but Carl didn't know, which led him to think soone else had taken her Light Computer and answered the call. Qiao Suisui quickly explained a few words.
"Did your Light Computer turn into a bomb that explodes upon answering?"
At this ti, not answering calls and when picking up hearing a man's voice she hadn't heard before, Carl couldn't help but suspect sothing fishy, almost storming in ready to throw punches.
"I was just busy."
The man's voice turned cheerful, "You recognize my voice?"
"I didn't, I guessed."
"You guessed it was on the first try?"
"Because of all the people I know, only you talk in such an annoying way."
"..."
A silence ca from the other end, followed by a sigh.
"Are you still mad at ?"
"Huh? What do you an?"
Qiao Suisui hadn't kept up with his train of thought. After asking, she rembered he was referring to those words he had said in space. She had just wanted to say she couldn't rember them anymore, but the voice from the other side suddenly beca heavy, "You might as well be angry at ." It was better than forgetting him completely.
"Is there sothing you need?"
Hearing her sowhat distant tone, Carl felt as if his mouth was filled with unripe apricots, the sourness spreading to his heart and down to his stomach.
During the ti he was injured, she hadn't co to see him or asked him a single question. He let that pass, knowing it was his own fault for speaking carelessly. But she had left without saying a word, not even giving a heads-up. Even the three interstellar cleaners who had moved in after him knew where she was going. He was the only one in the small building who didn't, accompanied only by a robot that looked like a trash can, following him around all day.
"I want to make a complaint."
"Complain about what?"
"My room's pillow is uncomfortable."
Qiao Suisui was speechless. "You should talk to 6867."
"I want to complain about 6867 too; it doesn't understand human speech."
"Then how about I switch your room?"
"No."
"Then how do you want to handle it?"
"Let see you one more ti."
Qiao Suisui felt this man was really being unreasonable. Holding back her irritation, she said, "I can't co back now, maybe over the weekend."
"Qiao Suisui."
The audio band on the light computer stilled, indicating the man on the other side had paused for a few seconds.
Carl tilted his head back, brought the light computer close to his mouth, and spoke in a low and slow voice, carrying a barely noticeable tenderness and caution, "Go stand by the window."
Qiao Suisui didn't understand, but wanted to end the call as soon as possible, so she complied. She walked barefoot onto the balcony.
"Is this okay?"
"Hello?"
"Carl?"
Qiao Suisui looked at her wrist-mounted light computer, which showed the call was still connected, with no fluctuation in the audio band; this ant the other side wasn't speaking. Just as she was about to hang up, the voice ca through the light computer again.
"Today's energy replenishnt is done. You can go inside now." His voice was very low, lacking its usual flippancy, filled with a restrained gentleness.
"Don't kick 6867 and don't be harsh to it. I'll solve the room issue when I'm back."
"As you wish, boss."
After hanging up, Qiao Suisui muttered 'crazy' at her light computer and quickly pushed the bizarre call out of her mind. She stretched widely on the balcony. It was now completely dark, and resting her arms on the rail, she watched the star-filled night sky. Suddenly, a teor streaked across, and she quickly brought her hands together, closed her eyes, and made a wish, thinking of her new life and smiling a heartfelt smile.
Downstairs at the apartnt, Carl sat on a stone bench in the flowerbed, leisurely sprawled out with long legs, his silhouette blending into the night. He looked up and took a drag of his cigarette, and as he watched the figure return to her room, the recently eased longing surged back into his heart.
