Chapter 6: Night Assemblies (2)
No, no, no, she's holding on.
Lan Ke happily covered his round belly and lay on the ground and smacked his lips.
She didn't expect Ah Li to be so generous, today's meal had fruits and vegetables, as well as exotic beast meat with extremely high prices and rich nutritional value. You must know that human beings have long replaced their daily food supply with nutrient solution in the interstellar era, and the price of these fruits, vegetables, meats, and even seasonings for dinner has been speculated on the black market for millions.
Yes! Just let her die here!
She struggled and stuffed another piece of alien meat into her mouth, chewing and chewing.
Zhuo Yu wiped the corners of his lips with his hand, and glanced at Lan Ke, the blue eyes were shining, and it was itchy to see people's hearts, and there was no deterrent effect at all.
"Coco, look at you, what you have become."
Lan Ke hummed and chirped, rolling on the ground: "People don't want to be ladies today, they just want to eat to be fat, no one should stop me!" ”
"Poof, Coco is so cute~" Tian Yi, who had already been familiar with them not long after they first met, had her eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to take Lan Ke in her arms and take a mouthful.
Jiang Li saw that the big man Eske was eating stiffly from beginning to end, his face was tense, and he didn't say a word.
"Esker? What's wrong? ”
Not in the same mood? Or did she upset him there?
Asker slowly squeezed a few words out between his teeth: "It's okay, thank you for your hospitality." Then he got up silently, found a corner, and crouched on the spot, as if no one could see his big man, who was obviously out of place with his surroundings.
?
Jiang Li was a little confused.
It was only later that she heard about Asker from Lanko.
"Big man, don't care, he's a little bit recognizant, but he's actually a good person."
To put it mildly, it's not just about recognizing life, it's clearly a social barrier.
So I usually don't talk to people with a cold face, and I am so scared that others don't dare to talk.
She watched as Asker stretched out a thick finger and gently poked at the round housekeeping robot, and by the way, helped it lift a piece of garbage that was several times larger than its size. His eyebrows widened, and he laughed softly.
It's cute, Esker.
This apartment, which should have been silent after nightfall, is especially lively today. In the light and shadow, some people are laughing, some people are fighting, some people are squatting in the corner, and some people have broken a hole in their hearts, as if they have taken painkillers.

"Ali Ali! This way! Not far away, Lan Ke sat on Asker's shoulder and waved at her.
Tian Yi stood aside to settle the balance on his personal terminal and muttered, "I don't know if it's enough to squander today." ”
Zhuo Yu is still so elegant and beautiful, with a white long skirt and a straight back, reminiscent of the noble daughters of the ancient big families. She was chatting with Asker about something, and when she saw Jiang Li coming over, she showed a gentle and gentle smile: "Ah Li." ”
I always feel that no matter where Zhuo Yu stands, or who is around her, she is a beautiful landscape.
Eske was as silent as ever, but his body was much stiffer than ever.
"Don't be so stiff, Asker, we're here, just don't care about the others when the time comes." Lan Ke patted Asker's head, his legs dangling in the air.
"yes, yes, this kind of big gathering is fun if you just have to go together." Tian Yi also followed suit.
Zhuo Yu comforted softly: "It's the first activity since Ah Li joined the club, okay?" ”
Asker also saw Jiang Li coming over, and nodded with a stiff face.
Jiang Li couldn't laugh a little: "Don't be too reluctant, Asker." ”
In the interstellar era of advanced science and technology, people rely on the Internet and machinery, and many manpower have been replaced by time-saving and labor-saving and more efficient robots, and there are few such as assembly markets, so the central star will organize a large-scale assembly every year as a continuation of the tradition, not only the price of things is low, but also the people are full of excitement. On this day, people go out in groups, go shopping, taste delicious food, and feel a completely different life than usual.
Jiang Li, who had only heard about it but had never experienced it, was also aroused by curiosity, and when he received the invitation, he followed, but he didn't expect Esker to be pulled over.
This kind of lively gathering will be hard for Ask.
In fact, there was no need for him to come with him.
Jiang Li suddenly felt a pair of big hands gently press the top of her head.
"Let's go."
It's Esker. He bent one arm slightly, as if he was ready to protect Lan Ke, who was not honest sitting on his shoulder, and the other arm hung down, letting Tian Yi pull the corner of his clothes, and took the lead and walked to the front.
Zhuo Yu stood beside Jiang Li and stretched out his hand: "Let's play together, I won't let you down." The gentle smile accompanied her blue eyes, like a clear spring wrapped around Jiang Li's body with warmth, made people sink unconsciously.
Jiang Li, who was in place, listened to Tian Yi in front of him: "Ah Li, come and see this!" He slowly raised his hand and put it on Zhuo Yu's white palm.
"It's coming!"
She responded to Tian Yi and also responded to Zhuo Yu. Like a person who hung on the edge of a cliff and no longer had any illusions about hope, he hesitated in the face of a stranger who insisted on reaching out to her, and finally tentatively raised his arm - believe that this is the last time.
Believe that you can be saved.
