She saw a sense of alienation from him in his eyes, as if he was doubting her Platonic identity.
Xuanji's sensitive heart trembled again, and she said to herself: Xuanji, Xuanji, would you say such realistic things to another person? In the past, friends always said this to you, saying that you want too much and are too unrealistic.
Now would you respond to a true Platonic person in this tone?
"I will definitely take you to buy robes tomorrow." She eased the sense of confrontation caused by this inner imbalance. Kalki stood there, looking in the direction of the window, looking so lonely, "Let's eat now. This way you can rest early.
, you need to have a good rest."
She opened the dinner interface of her wristband, and countless bright and colorful meal photos were displayed.
"Look! Which one do you want to eat? These are the best vegetarian takeaways in Mangxing City!" She smiled at him comfortingly, as if she was apologizing to him for being blunt just now, "I only eat takeout at home, and I never
It’s too troublesome to cook without turning on the fire. Nowadays, everyone basically relies on takeout for meals, which is very convenient.”
"I want to go without food, I need to be alone." He spoke to her coldly, without even looking at the dazzling array of dinner options.
"Oh, I've prepared a guest room for you, over there..." She pointed to her small study room. Her apartment was not big, only big enough for one person to live in.
He immediately walked over. Without even saying hello to her, he closed the door, used the door lock device a little clumsily, and locked the door tightly from the inside.
He closed himself up like this, and after that, they didn't talk and lived their own lives.
Xuanji goes to bed before eight o'clock every day. Her platonic knight's work and rest habits have been laughed at by her friends. It is strange for a young girl to live like this in Mangxing City.
After nightfall, this cosmic city is the beginning of real life. Colorful enjoyment will bring more pleasure in the dark night. This is a city that never sleeps where tens of billions of young people use their restless bodies to release their vitality and passion.
.Although the earth of Gaia has a strong gravitational pull that goes straight to the center of the earth, Xuanji resists it alone and finds inner peace in this rigorous life like a monk.
As soon as she got into bed and lay down, she heard the guest room door open. In the darkness, she secretly put her hand under the pillow, where there was a dagger.
But she only heard Kalki's footsteps walking to the bathroom, and then there was a slight sound of washing.
"Huh..." She breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that he just staggered the time to use the bathroom and waited for her to wash up before washing up.
She turned over and looked at the ceiling. The hanging curtains without hooks had excellent light-blocking properties. Without this sharp tool, she would not be able to wash up and go to bed at around 7 o'clock every night. Outside the window, there was a bright light, and countless people were happy.
She went shopping and had fun, enjoying life. She curled up in her dark little bedroom and fell asleep like a freak, pretending that she was still a female knight of Plato...
Only Kalki is the same as himself, adhering to an ancient pre-modern lifestyle of sunset.
In Mangxing City, there has never been another person who made her feel such a spiritual closeness.
"What kind of shower room is this..."
After taking a bath, Kalki walked out naked from the shower room that simulated the effect of a rainforest. The water dripped from his body and everything was wet. He felt like an animal that had been fished out of the river.
.
He could only wrap himself in the huge white towel she had prepared and put on the shelf.
Oh my god! He thought: I have never taken a bath in such a mess in my life.
He recalled the one-minute rinsing, drying and automatic dressing program on the flagship "Varuna"; the pleasantly fragrant rinsing and drying in the "Bukhara", the confidence when stepping out of the shower dry and automatic, decorated with
In the dressing room with gorgeous star patterns, Siddha put on his underwear and robe, Daksha tied his belt, and Sheldon put on his shoes...
A large bathroom mirror on the wall showed him his current embarrassed appearance, and he could hardly recognize himself. Except for his blond hair and blue eyes, he was indistinguishable from a Gaian.
He had just taken a comfortable warm bath, but he felt a slight chill. He quickly turned on the faucet on the sink and splashed cold water on his face. He wanted to calm down.
Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going?
Plato's philosophical propositions suddenly poured into his mind. A sense of detachment that his body was completely unsuitable for the current life made his whole mind confused.
Xuanji should have fallen asleep, and no one would see him. So Kalki walked through the living room wrapped in a bath towel and returned to the guest room assigned to him to sleep.
He walked step by step in the dim space. His bare feet felt wet on the soles of his feet. The surrounding environment was so strange and full of unreality: Bukhara, Varuna and the "little wolf" were
Everything in his life, he was extracted from the environment he had lived in for nearly thirty years, and stood on a planet 1,450 light years away from Plato. Now his body is in a different time and space, a place he has never dared to
An imaginary world.
His so-called "guest room" is nothing more than Xuanji's small study room. The floor-to-ceiling bookshelves on three sides are filled with ancient books. She has already made a bed for him with a foldable sofa in advance. Everything is in her usual style, clean and tidy.
Extremely concise, with a sense of coolness.
Just after he was discharged from the hospital, he felt tired and fell down on the sofa bed.
As soon as he closed his eyes, a deep tiredness that made his whole body feel withered immediately surrounded him. But he still slept extremely uncomfortable all night long. She bought a small sofa that matched her small apartment and used it to
This small bed transformed from a two-purpose sofa is definitely not designed for his height. He misses the hard feeling of Bukhara bed and the soft and delicate pajamas...
Because he didn't want to wear the "pagan clothes" issued to him by the Gaia War Department, Kalki was naked and tossing and turning... Standing under the pink clouds of Yae Sakura, she was a bright color in front of him, which surprised him.
of joy.
Besides, he was extremely depressed, and the air was so dull and smelly that it almost made his heart stop.
At six o'clock every day, Xuanji wakes up naturally. After the initial uneasiness last night, once she fell asleep, she slept very peacefully. Seeing Kalki did not seem to cause any fluctuations in her soul. She had no dreams all night, and she will wait until she wakes up.
Eyes are the early morning hours.
She used the remote control to open the floating curtains. She was used to letting the light of breakfast shine into the room as soon as she woke up, which could clear her mind quickly.
This time she saw the tall back of a man outside the transparent floor-to-ceiling glass window.
"Kalki!"
Xuanji sat up directly from the bed.
On the transparent balcony of the apartment is Kalki who is used to getting up early.
The time difference or climate difference between the two planets did not seem to affect him. He was wearing casual clothes and watching the scenery on the balcony. The cool breeze from the heights of Mangxing City surrounded him, but he seemed not to care, overlooking a high place.
Morning in a strange alien city.
He still compromised after washing up in the morning. He couldn't really turn into a disheveled or even naked primitive man because of his fragile self-esteem. He put on his home clothes and shaved himself awkwardly with a Gaia automatic razor, and found that
The beauty of short hair.
"It saves trouble." He touched his clean temples.
He thought that because he got up too early, the two little waiters yawning while combing his hair, so he couldn't bear to bother them all the time, so he could only use the intelligent automatic hair combing program to comb his hair, even though his hair was shiny and smooth.
He was meticulous, but his scalp was pulled very tightly, and now he has turned into a short-haired Gaian man living in Star City.
Kalki also curiously touched the top of his head with a touch-type hair glue stick a few times so that his short blond hair would look more stylish.
In the end, he looked at himself in the mirror with an incredible expression. The changes in his life were sometimes so rapid that it was hard to accept them.
It was still dark and Xuanji had not gotten up yet. He walked very gently from the living room to the spacious balcony. This was the most interesting part of the room. When he came, he noticed the large balcony with transparent railings.
The balcony faces the high-rise area of Mangxing City.
"What are you looking at here?" Xuanji, who was wearing pajamas, went straight to the balcony and shivered unconsciously. It was very cold outside. After Gaia was moved to the best position in the HD habitable zone of the star, it lost its
Its originally pleasant temperature has become extreme, often hot and cold.
Xuanji's room is located on the 95th floor. In fact, it is not particularly high in Mangxing City, but it is enough to overlook a vast sea of high-rise buildings. The morning sun shines and the mist drifts away, like a mirage, boundless. Kalki has never seen such a scenery in Plato.
, enough to deeply shock his soul.
"I saw human desire."
His voice was like a spell in the morning breeze, bewitching her mind.
They stared at each other. Kalki with short hair looked particularly fresh. She saw a ray of morning light shining on his porcelain white skin, and his whole body was shining like a god.
"This is Mangxing City." Xuanji hugged her shoulders unconsciously, "Many people love it, and many people hate it."
"You're cold." Kalki motioned her to go back to the room, and without hesitation took off his pajamas and put them on her.
"Oh my God!"
A super handsome guy with fair skin, tight muscles, and a great figure made her heart skip a beat.
She thought to herself: Kalki is really a weirdo. He seems to do whatever he wants and doesn't understand the difference between men and women.
Kalki unconsciously regarded her as his former little servant Siddha, and put his arm around her shoulders, appearing very considerate.
After returning to the room, he looked at her kindly and said to her: "How can I say that I have no clothes, but I share the same robe with you?"
Xuanji was wearing his pajamas and felt like her heart was hit by something for a moment.
If we talk about the first time they met, she was shocked and confused by his perfect appearance. Now she realizes that the beauty of his soul is beyond all else. In her mind, Kalki seems to be transformed into an archangel, brave and invincible on the battlefield, and at the same time fraternal.
Kindness.
Kalki rummaged through the box where his personal belongings were placed and randomly found a piece of clothing to put on for himself. Since he was not used to wearing Gaian clothes, and he had been dressed by attendants for many years. The process of putting on his clothes was very complicated.
Ridiculous, she just put her head and hands in at the same time, and then shook her body wildly, like a monster showing its teeth and claws in the clothes. He finally put on his clothes, and a blush appeared on his fair face as he heard Xuanji's laughter.
Afterwards, they had breakfast together on two small suspended chairs facing each other on the folding dining table that was raised in Xuanji's kitchen.
"Ah! You are really a strict vegetarian." Xuanji sighed.
She saw that he really only ate some salad vegetables, tomatoes and cucumbers, and dug out a piece of vegetable butter with a dining knife to spread on the bread.
"Of course, aren't you?"
"Uh..." Xuanji showed a strange and awkward expression.
Of course not! There are so many delicious food in Mangxing City, of course I can’t bear it.
Xuanji thought to herself: Oops! There is also a bag of Black Forest bacon slices in the fresh-keeping smart refrigerator. Sometimes for breakfast, she would randomly stuff various kinds of meat slices and cheese with bread to satisfy her hunger. These meat slices had to be disposed of quickly. She was a Gaian in Manxing City.
After too long, it was inevitable that she would occasionally fail to abide by Yuanjiao's dietary rules. She didn't want a Platonic noble to see this side of her.
These fresh and simple breakfasts satisfied him very much. He chose to drink mineral water instead of sweet juice. The way he drank water from the glass was graceful.
"I really didn't know you could grow so tall with such a simple diet?" She couldn't hide her faint fascination with him.
"Although Braha's breakfast has more varieties, it never provides any juice or sweets. We only drink high-quality mineral water. This is the life of a knight."
Okay, it really sounds like a group of monks who follow strict rules and precepts.
"If someone forces you to eat meat," she became more and more obsessed with him and curious at the same time, "what should you do?"
Kalki raised his head, looked at her with cornflower-colored eyes, and replied almost without hesitation: "I will eat meat."
"Takia's principle!" She exclaimed. He is indeed a smart and adaptable guy.
"This was forced, not my subjective will. The behavior of a prisoner under the coercion of others is naturally guiltless." He seemed to be afraid that she would misunderstand, so he immediately explained to her, "You know what? Prisoners of War in Mangxing City
The traditional project of the management center is to force the captured Plato soldiers to eat meat. We understand their helplessness and pain, so the Plato army allows soldiers to eat meat after being captured. Under any state of coercion, anything forced to do will
It is an act that eliminates sinful karma."
"Okay, there are also theological and legal basis. Hmm..." She could only nod meaningfully in agreement.
"There is no business, no exchange, no way for individuals to purchase, plant or breed... I eat in the public cafeteria every day. Such days are really like monks in ancient monasteries." Xuanji said while imagining that kind of life.
A life full of ancient style.
She was a little confused, what kind of life was this? She cultivated a person like Kalki who was completely different from the Gaians.
