After switching on the communicator, He Tian's flat and magnetic voice came from over there, "I'm going to buy something tomorrow, you go with me." The tone didn't sound like an inquiry or discussion at all, it was an order at all.

Qiao Xi didn't like He Tian's attitude, but considering the relationship between the two, she held her temper and said, "Shouldn't you ask me first if I have time tomorrow? After all, tomorrow is the weekend, so it should be counted as not being on call." Can you be anywhere?" He stays at home on weekends, which is his own time.

He Tian fell silent, he didn't know what he was thinking, and after an unknown amount of time, he opened his mouth and said, "Do you have time tomorrow?"

The tone obviously didn't change, but for some reason, Qiao Xi felt that He Tian's question seemed a little reluctant and unhappy.

With a slight smile, Qiao Xi said, "Okay, I'm free tomorrow." He was originally going to go shopping tomorrow, and the teachers of the professional class listed some extracurricular books that are helpful to the major for them today. Qiao Xi Ready to buy back to see.

"Then I will pick you up tomorrow." He Tian said.

"Don't be too early." Qiao Xi wanted to sleep until she woke up naturally.

He Tian thought for a while and said, "Afternoon."

"Okay." Qiao Xi replied.

After setting a time, the two of them didn't talk too much. After saying "goodbye", they cut off the communication directly. It seemed that it was unnecessary to even pay more attention to what each other was doing.

The next day, as soon as Qiao Xi had finished her lunch, she received a call from He Tian, ​​saying that he had already arrived downstairs.Qiao Xi looked at the time, it was exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, Qiao Xi didn't know whether He Tian came at the right time, or made the call at the right time.

After talking to Rong Chun, Qiao Xi went out.Qiao Xi told Rong Chun last night that she was going to go shopping, but she didn't mention He Tian, ​​only that she was a classmate.Rong Chun didn't ask in detail. In his opinion, it is very rare for Qiao Xi to make friends. As for what kind of person the other party is, he believes that Qiao Xi is better at judging people than he is.

Qiao Xi is dressed very casually today, jeans and a T-shirt, natural and clean, looks like a high school student, giving people a simple and comfortable feeling.During the time from upstairs to downstairs, Qiao Xi walked unhurriedly, and only quickened her pace when she was about to reach the gate, in order to give He Tian an illusion—he was very concerned about going out with He Tian. Things are positive.

Seeing Qiao Xi coming out, He Tian opened the car door.Qiao Xi got into the car, the door slowly opened, the air conditioner was turned on inside the car, and the temperature was just right.Qiao Xi looked at He Tian who was sitting in the driver's seat. He Tian was also dressed very comfortably today, with a shirt and jeans, which was less rigorous and more casual than when he was in school.

He Tian looked at Qiao Xi, stretched out his hand to hook the necklace around his neck, and asked, "Like this kind of thing?"

The collar of the clothes was slightly low, and the ring on the necklace barely covered half of it. Qiao Xi put the hooked ring back into the clothes and said, "My father gave it to me, and I have been carrying it since I was a child." Explain, there is no need to say more.

He Tian stared at Qiao Xi's neck for a while, didn't ask any more questions, and started the car to go to the commercial street.

There are about six or seven very prosperous commercial centers on Miffel, and they went to the one closest to the San Nyan Military Academy.The reason why I went there was not because it was close, but because there was a very famous Mecha Street there. Anyone who loves mechas would have a soft spot for that street.Mecha Street has existed since the St. Nyen Military Academy. It can be said to have a long history. Whenever there are new mecha products in the empire, they will definitely appear on that street first. In addition to merchants, like some large mecha manufacturing companies And the Jijia Auction House is also located near Jijia Street. In addition to facilitating sales and transactions, it is also for the first time to understand the latest information and market conditions.

After the car parked in the parking lot, He Tian accompanied Qiao Xi to buy books.Walking into the book building, Qiao Xi took out the book list, entered all the titles into the robot, and clicked OK.After receiving the instruction, the robot slid away.After about 15 minutes, according to Qiao Xi's needs and requirements, he brought all the books he wanted to buy, saving Qiao Xi's time looking for books, which was not troublesome for He Tian.

After paying the bill, Qiao Xi left with He Tian carrying a bag of books.He Tian glanced at the book in Qiao Xi's hand, frowned slightly, didn't say anything, and didn't intend to help carry it.

Compared with the quietness and leisure of the bookstore, Jijia Street is much more lively, and this kind of bustle can be felt as soon as you step into Jijia Street, which is an obvious differentiation.Since it was the weekend, there were a lot of people on Jijia Street.The two were walking in tandem, but He Tian suddenly reached out to hold Qiao Xi's hand, and took a step slower to walk side by side with Qiao Xi.Qiao Xi froze for a moment, and thought quickly for a second before she didn't take her hand back immediately.

"There are a lot of people." This is He Tian's explanation for this inexplicable holding hands.

"Hmm..." Qiao Xi responded in a low voice, appearing obedient.

Similar body temperature, similar strength, and similar tactility to male bones, perhaps because of this, although Qiao Xi is not used to it, she does not feel disgusted.Holding the dry hands together, the softness of the fingertips and the warmth of the palms became extremely obvious.Hands, slowly soaked in each other's body temperature, but this close distance separated the farthest heart, this is Qiao Xi's thoughts at the moment.

He Tian didn't wander around, but took Qiao Xi directly to a slightly dilapidated mech shop.Pushing open the store door, the air-conditioning in the store blows towards the face, with a metallic smell that belongs to the mecha.Compared with the old store, the store has a very modern style, and it feels like two worlds.

"Are you here?" As soon as the two of them entered the door, a man in his 30s greeted him with a warm smile on his face, but he didn't look very attentive.Hearing the tone of the speech, he should know He Tian.

He Tian nodded.

The other party didn't care about He Tian's cold attitude, as if he had gotten used to it, he glanced at Qiao Xi beside him, smiled deeper, and said, "Is this your first time here?"

"Yeah." Although Jijia Street is very famous, it is indeed the first time for Qiao Xi to come here.He doesn't really love mechs, and he used to pay more attention to improving his abilities.

"I think so too. If you've been here, I can't forget it." The man laughed, took out a business card and handed it to Qiao Xi, and said, "I'm the boss here, what do you want in the future? You can call directly, I will keep it for you, if you don’t have it, you can buy it.”

"Okay, thank you." Qiao Xi took the business card. He will use many things in the future, and some of them may be rare materials. It would be nice to have someone who can help with the search.

After pulling business for the store, the boss smiled and said to He Tian, ​​"I'll only get three bottles this time, do you want all of them?"

"Both." He Tian said bluntly.

Qiao Xi didn't care what He Tian was going to buy, after looking around aimlessly in the store, she was suddenly attracted by a small thing that was being displayed.

Letting go of He Tian's hand, Qiao Xi walked over.On the booth was a white rectangular object with a metal casing, only the size of a palm, and nothing special on the surface, but it was a parts assembly simulator.The optical computer next to it is showing its usage, and it is not complicated. As long as it is connected to the Internet, you can perform parts assembly operations in the virtual space. There is no limit to the number of times and methods, and each part will be given Normal processing steps.The latest parts data can also be downloaded and stored in his official network space, which is really a magic tool for mecha makers.However, the price made Qiao Xi hesitate.

His father gave him a considerable amount of living expenses every month, which was enough for him to study and live here carefree.But this simulator will cost him nearly half a year of living expenses, which is a bit extravagant no matter how you think about it.It may be difficult to ask his father to send him so much money at once.

Qiao Xi hesitated on this side, while the boss on Hetian's side had already put three bottles of maintenance liquid into a bag and handed them to him. He Tian directly put the things into the space button, then glanced at the space button in the glass cabinet next to him, and picked it up. He picked up a platinum ring and said, "I want this."

"Okay." The boss opened the door of the cupboard, took out the ring and handed it to him, "This style is rare, so I will only enter this one. Although the space is a bit small, it is more than enough to store some supplies."

He Tian weighed this inconspicuous ring, and felt that it matched the pendant on Qiao Xi's neck.Turning around to ask Qiao Xi to try it, she saw Qiao Xi looking at the things on the display stand, not knowing what she was thinking.

The boss looked at Qiao Xi over there, and said to He Tian, ​​"He learned how to make mechas?"

He Tian withdrew his gaze, glanced at the boss, and answered.

The boss smiled and said: "I think so, only those who learn mecha manufacturing will pay special attention to that thing." After speaking, the boss introduced the simulator to He Tian in detail.

Qiao Xi hesitated for a while standing in front of the display stand, and finally decided to give up.There are many ways to practice assembling parts, and he should probably pick one that's economical.

"Josh."

Hearing He Tian calling him, Qiao Xi turned his head, and He Tian said, "Come here."

Qiao Xi walked over, He Tian took the book in Qiao Xi's hand, put it directly into the space button, then took his left hand, and put the ring into the middle finger.

"Space button, it's more convenient to put things in." He Tian said.

Qiao Xi looked at the ring on his hand, although it was just a space button for storage, it had a different meaning because of the shape of the ring, even though he was very clear that this meaning was meaningless to him and He Tian.

He Tian's gift, if he refuses, the consequences may be serious.After thinking about it for half a second, Qiao Xi said, "Thank you."

"Hmm." He Tian looked at his hand for a while, seemed satisfied, then took out the magnetic card and handed it to the boss for the payment.

The boss settled the bill cheerfully, then took out a small box from under the cashier, and said, "This is a gift, a miniature light energy bomb, not too powerful, it can be used for self-defense or to blast door locks, etc. very convenient."

There are not many types of this kind of miniature weapons. Although their power is relatively weak, they still have certain lethality, so they are not suitable for everyone to carry with them.However, in Qiao Xi's opinion, this thing is still very useful, and he can rest assured that Rong Chun can carry it with him.

He Tian opened the box and looked at it, but he didn't seem interested, so he put the box directly into Qiao Xi's space twist.After Qiao Xi thanked the boss, He Tian took her hand and left the mecha shop.

"Go home after dinner?" Although He Tian was asking what Qiao Xi meant, his tone sounded more like an announcement.

"Okay, just go home before nine o'clock." Qiao Xi was not in a hurry. He hadn't been out for a stroll since he arrived at Miffel Star, so he just took this opportunity to take a look around.

"Is the family strictly controlled?" He Tian asked.In fact, in the empire, it is really too early to go home before [-]:[-] pm. Generally, most planets are still very lively at [-]:[-] am. Residents are still shopping or eating supper outside. Only people from a few more remote planets go to bed early. get up early.

"Fortunately, it's just that there is access control." Qiao Xi made up a lie, the access control or something was just an excuse he didn't want to stay with He Tian for too long.

"Well, it's good to have access control, and it's safe to go home early." He Tian obviously agreed with this matter.

Qiao Xi laughed, "I'm not a girl."

"Boys may not be safe." He Tian said, pinching Qiao Xi's fingers. "The word safety has no boundaries in the empire. Only the strong are truly safe."

Qiao Xi nodded, He Tian's words were not bad, and in He Tian's heart, he was not a strong man either.

In addition to selling things related to mechas, Jijia Street also has a lot of special snacks. Along the way, Qiao Xi saw many people holding sandwiches from the same store, especially couples. That sandwich looked pretty good. Large, cut diagonally, half is just right for one person.

The two walked not far before they saw a line in front of them queuing up to buy sandwiches.The smell of freshly baked bread and freshly fried steak permeates the streets, very tempting.Qiao Xi originally wanted to go around, but He Tian stopped, then put his magnetic card into Qiao Xi's hand, and said, "Go to the queue."

"Do you want to eat?" Qiao Xi didn't think He Tian was someone who would eat on the road.

"Try it." He Tian's gray eyes scanned the surroundings, "It happens to be for two people." This seems to be the point.

"Okay." Qiao Xi walked over to line up. The line is not too long, so you shouldn't have to wait too long.

"I'm going to buy water, what should I drink?" He Tian asked.

"Mineral water, it needs to be cold."

He Tian nodded and walked towards a supermarket not far away.
