Quick Travel: Card Destroyer

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the old mechanical alarm clock rang, the sound was as harsh as ever, but for Ji Liangqi today, it had a different meaning than usual.

Most of the tradable items have found their destinations, and the trading month is coming to an end, but alien species are still using all means to sneak into the card city, which has directly led to a surge in the number of cards that need to be repaired by Ji Liangqi.

Sancai and Pepe were both asleep, the former curled up in the cat bed in Fu Cangzhao's room, while Pepe slept in his own room.

Even though the machine made by Fu Cangzhao saved most of the judgment process, Ji Liangqi still felt tired and had to rely on some drinks to refresh himself.

She was walking back to the workbench with a cup of freshly brewed instant coffee. As she passed the sofa, an uninvited guest suddenly fell out from mid-air, landed accurately on the sofa, and bounced a little.

"Fu Cangzhao?!" Ji Liangqi was startled and almost spilled the coffee in his hand.

"Hmm?" Hearing her voice, the man turned around and responded very perfunctorily, saying hello to her, "Oh, I'm back."

Ji Liangqi suddenly stopped drinking coffee: "Where did you go before? Bing Haoqi told me that something happened over there."

Fu Cangzhao moved closer to her, resting his head on her shoulder, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes: "Just catching up with a few old acquaintances."

Hearing this, Ji Liangqi was a little surprised: "It's rare to travel to a world you've been to before without human intervention..."

"It's man-made."

"……what?"

"And I guess one of your old friends will be back."

Fu Cangzhao unceremoniously put his legs on Ji Liangqi, his head still resting on the other's shoulder, and gave Ji Liangqi a hard kiss on the face.

Somehow, Ji Liangqi suddenly felt something was not right about this action that couldn't be more ordinary.

And the next second, her premonition came true.

Another uninvited guest came to the office.

The dark blue shoulder-length hair is as smooth as flowing water, and the dark black eyes are dead silent, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to find a hint of life beneath the silence.

Or in other words, it's just for fun.

Ji Liangqi drank his coffee silently.

Fu Cangzhao held her a little tighter.

Two pairs of similar eyes looked at each other, and Fu Cangzhao said unhappily: "Yi Chunzhan, you are so embarrassed to come back?"

"Why, you don't welcome me? Little ghost, you should know that it is common for people in our card city to die and come back to life. Just remember to hold a resurrection ceremony for me in two days," Yi Chunzhan looked at the two of them with a smile, and said calmly, "As for tonight, Ji Liangqi will be left to you."

"Tsk!" Fu Cangzhao glared at her angrily and held her tighter.

"Anyway..." Before entering Ji Liangqi's room, Yi Chunzhan turned around and showed a harmless smile, "After tonight, I will definitely take her back. You little kids, don't interfere with our adult games."

Fu Cangzhao couldn't stand hearing such words, and exploded on the spot: "Do you think I'm afraid of you?! In two months, I will be an adult, okay!"

"No, you will be scared." Yi Chunzhan closed the bedroom door with a smile, completely ignoring the boy's aggressive look, which made Fu Cangzhao so angry that he almost stepped on Ji Liangqi's thigh and rushed over. If it weren't for a big hand that was always around her waist, she would have been entangled with Yi Chunzhan a long time ago.

After flopping around like a kitten with its fur standing on end for a while, Fu Cangzhao finally stopped and said angrily, "Come and bully me if you can!"

Ji Liangqi drank a sip of coffee silently, not wanting to aggravate Fu Cangzhao's rebellious psychology.

After all, if it were Yi Chunzhan, she would really bully the child until he ran back crying for comfort and would not be able to recover for several days.

The gray-green eyes were partially blocked by eyelashes of moderate length, hiding the light surging beneath them.

Guessing that Fu Cangzhao had almost had enough of the fuss, she spoke again: "Bing Haoqi went out to collect materials, and also said that she also had to deal with some remaining issues."

"I have one too." Fu Cangzhao lowered his eyes and stared at the half remaining instant coffee in Ji Liangqi's cup.

"I want to go get some stuff from the mayor."

-

The next day, Fu Cangzhao woke up very early. Thinking that he couldn't sleep anyway, he ran to the kitchen to cook a pot of porridge.

When Pepe was about to go to the transition class alone as before, he was surprised to find three more bowls on the table, each filled with some steaming porridge.

The transition class is specially set up by Card City for children who have not received unified education in time. After completing all courses, they can directly enter the corresponding stage of education according to their age.

"Mom Fu?" Fu Cangzhao was the only one in the office who could cook for himself. Peipei's eyes lit up, and then she saw a familiar figure and looked over in confusion, "Mom... is here too?"

Yi Chunzhan stroked Pepe's soft dark blue hair with a smile and said, "Mom is back. The resurrection ceremony will be held in a few days."

"Then I have two mothers." Pepe tilted his head and thought about it, blinking his eyes.

Children in Card City usually have one or two guardians, but most of them are raised together. A few people choose to raise their children alone. The city will conduct a strict inspection of them in advance to confirm that they have the ability to raise children seriously before they can be adopted. After the adoption is completed, the Security Department will also make regular home visits to ensure that the child has been living in a healthy environment.

Normally this is the case.

but……

Fu Cangzhao's action of picking up the pickles was slightly delayed.

There is still a foggy corner deep in her memory. She only vaguely remembers that part of her memory is related to "Mom", but perhaps that period of time was so painful that she had to actively cover herself with a veil so that she would have time to slowly heal her wounds.

This time, she not only planned to go to the city hall to retrieve some items she had deposited there five years ago, but also planned to consult a psychologist to gently remove the veil. She could actually handle it herself, but there might be something in it that would cause physical discomfort, so it would be better to leave it to professionals for safety.

In the blink of an eye, Pepe had eaten his fill, and soon after leaving the office door, he activated the "particle field" and flew away in the blink of an eye.

The two adults were left facing each other awkwardly.

Fu Cangzhao finished the last mouthful of porridge with freshly pickled cucumbers, put down the bowl, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and asked, "Do you want to talk alone?"

"Dating alone? No problem," Yi Chunzhan supported his cheek with his hand, smiling brightly, "Let's go and break the ice before Ji Liangqi gets up to work. I believe that when she wakes up, she will be very happy to see that our relationship has become close..."

"It's better to be surprised than to be frightened." Fu Cangzhao walked to Yi Chunzhan's chair and sat on her with his legs apart. The latter naturally put his arm around her waist and quietly waited for the boy's next move.

The boring daily routine has begun again!

But it probably won't last long...
