Chapter 21 Night Road

Night gradually fell, but there was no place for them to rest nearby, so they had no choice but to take turns driving.

"It's too dark. As night falls, the things I hate most are coming soon."

"What is that?" Angela asked.

"It's a zombie."

As the vehicle jolted, Hao Xiao was convinced that another zombie without eyes had just been crushed into a pulp.

"Jack, go to sleep first. Angela, you have to be by my side. It will be your turn next time."

"..."

Angela didn't say anything, she just smiled and nodded.

"By the way, don't all androids need rest?"

"That's true, but Mr. Haoxiao won't pay for my maintenance, right?"

"What nonsense."

Hao Xiao drove the car intently, and they came to a dark forest. The feeling here was a bit weird and eerie to Hao Xiao, and there was also an indescribable sense of depression.

On the other hand, Jack had already fallen asleep, because the sofa in the back was cushioned, so he could sleep soundly even if there was an earthquake.

"Mr. Haoxiao?"

"Ah, damn, you scared me to death. If you fart, hurry up!"

"I advise you not to be like the Hanged Man and rely on abilities that are not yours."

"Did you see it?"

"The mark on your left hand is the power of time, derived from one of the seven colors of power. It is impossible for mortals to drive and use it. Mr. Haoxiao, please be careful if you don't want it to explode suddenly."

"Don't tell Jack about this, even if it's a secret, it's a little secret between friends."

Angela smiled.

"No problem, Mr. Haoxiao."

Then, there is the smelly and long section of the road, where the vision is bright and dark for a while. If you don't pay attention to the road markings, most people will really feel that it is as uncomfortable as a ghost hitting a wall.

"Hey, damn it, I don't want to talk to a machine like you, but I can't hold it in any longer. Let's talk about it. What is your job in the library?"

"Director, collect books, make everything I collect into books, organize books, and acquire knowledge..."

"Let's not talk about it for now, can you write?"

After Angela heard this, she glanced at Hao Xiao, then smiled and nodded.

"Gan, my writing skills have never been good. How about this? Now that I have completed this task, how about you help me write a book?"

"If I have free time, I can probably finish it soon."

"Approximately how long will it take?"

"One minute." Angela said easily.

"Are all androids' brains so good now?"

Hao Xiao couldn't believe it, but he suddenly realized what Angela meant.

"Idiot, you mean that a guy like me doesn't have much experience anymore, right?"

"Because you have never shared your past with me or Jack. In my opinion, you are just a finisher. You like to sleep, be lazy, swear, and commit murder and arson. However, you have a very good taste in suits."

"Are you complimenting me?"

Hao Xiao was a little annoyed, but then he thought about it. Indeed, he had never shared his past, because thinking about the past would only make his mind a mess. He didn't understand why Twitch wanted to write an autobiography. Soon

, he gave up the idea.

"Hey, didn't you say that I have a lot of bad habits? How about you help me cure my problems and I'll help you have some fun?"

"I don't need something meaningless like 'fun'." Angela replied coldly.

"Then why do you want to eat dessert?" Hao Xiao asked.

"I can also eat other things, but desserts give me more energy and they are very light."

"Come on, maybe you don't know what sweet is?"

Angela shook her head, and Hao Xiao patted her head.

"Give me a piece of your dessert cake."

Angela took out her cake and gave a piece to Hao Xiao.

Haoxiao swallowed it without thinking.

"That's it? There's no taste at all. Let me tell you what 'sweetness' means and how to enjoy it."

Haoxiao took out a chocolate energy bar and handed it to Angela.

"Thanks."

Angela took the chocolate bar and carefully tore open the packaging bag, trying to avoid the chocolate and peanut residue falling on her dress.

"Stop grinding, you won't die if you eat a little!"

Faced with Haoxiao's urging, Angela took a bite.

Chocolate milk and nuts spread in her mouth, and the sweet feeling stimulated her taste buds.

"This... indeed makes me feel happy." A blush slowly appeared on Angela's face.

"Well, is it delicious?"

"Is this delicious? I have to write it down, I have never felt like this..."

Angela slowly tasted the sweets in her hand. Seeing this, Hao Xiao took out two cans of soda drinks from the drawer in the passenger seat.

"Come on, let's make our evening less boring."

"Hmm~Should I say 'cheers'?"

"There are not so many rules, it's just drinks."

The two raised their glasses together and drank the soda drinks.

"It's just fucking life, it's so cool."

"I have to redefine the word life." Angela said with a smile.

After Angela helped Hao Xiao pack away the garbage, the car fell into silence again.

But Haoxiao's mood slowly became lighter.

"Mr. Haoxiao, have you deliberately concealed your past?"

Facing Angela's question, Hao Xiao shook his head.

"No, it's just that my mind has sealed the past memories. My memory is very confusing. By the way, can you help me find out who this is?"

Haoxiao took out his wallet, and then took out the photo from his wallet.

"Sorry, I don't know, but if I were in your dimension and used Internet information, I would definitely be able to get the answer."

"Forget it, asking you is equivalent to not asking." Hao Xiao took back the photo with some displeasure.

"Is he your lover?"

"It seems to be, but it doesn't seem to be..."

"I didn't expect that a person with such a sweet mouth would also show a gentle side. Human beings are really unfathomable."

Haoxiao frowned when he heard Angela say this.

"What happened to me just now? Why am I so gentle? I've always been a fucking gentleman, okay?"

Although Hao Xiao said this with a frown, he smiled after a while.

"Angela, you really find jokes for me..."

"Each other."

"Okay, I admit, maybe I used to be a very gentle person, but what the heck, I'm still doing the job of dancing on the edge of a knife."

Haoxiao's expression became serious again, Angela smiled and nodded.

"This is your last contract, right?"

"Yes, after finishing this job, I will return to my dimension."

When Angela and Hao Xiao changed seats, they said good night to each other.

"Good night, Angela, if we continue at this pace, we will reach our destination in two days..."
