Interstellar Era of Gossip

Chapter 22 [Keep in Touch]

 The days of being overwhelmed by Xerxes are suffocating.

　　This guy is everywhere lately. Being drowned in Xerxes is suffocating.

　　Nalun asked, "How did you know I would come?"

　　"I have no idea."

　　Nalun rolled his eyes inwardly, wondering if anyone could stop him?

　　"I just said hello to the people nearby where you appeared. Once you show up again, they will help me connect the communication."

　　After Nalun understood the whole story, he wondered: "Why would they listen to you and cooperate with such a meaningless thing?" Is the charm of the Imperial Marshal so great?

　　"Yes." Xerxes' tone was meaningful: "Because I said, I'm waiting for the person who was with me that night."

　　Which night?

　　Nalun was stunned for a moment, then instantly realized what this person meant.

　　"After they found out, they all said they would actively cooperate and do their best to help me find someone." Xerxes paused for half a second and whispered, "They will report the progress to me every day."

　　Holy shit, this is insane!

　　If you keep gossiping like this, you will get yourself into trouble sooner or later.

　　Nalun sneered, and glanced at the unknown people behind him who were listening with their ears perked up.

　　"..."

　　He turned around and said, "Don't involve me in your gossip."

　　Xerxes said faintly: "But a few days ago you confessed to me in public."

　　——No, he doesn't remember.

　　Nalun was silent and his eyes were empty: "Let's talk about something serious."

　　Xerxes agreed.

　　"First of all, I'm not your one-night stand."

　　Business?

　　"That's not my intention," Xerxes said.

　　Nalun was dissatisfied: "Didn't you tell them..."

　　Xerxes continued, "Oh, that's just an excuse. After all, if they want to wait for someone, they have to explain the situation first. You don't have to worry about it."

　　Nalun said expressionlessly: "I don't care."

　　Xerxes continued to cooperate and said yes.

　　Nalun: "..." Damn, this is so annoying.

　　There were things he had to explain.

　　"I'm not in the same group with that bug. I'm a law-abiding citizen, and I only saved him because... I knew him, but not well."

　　He spoke seriously, but there was silence on the other side.

　　Nalun waited for a while but got no response, then suddenly thought: "You didn't put the location on the communicator and are on your way here now, right?"

　　Xerxes: "Maybe."

　　Nalun: "..."

　　Xerxes asked, "Why don't you talk?"

　　They are about to chase him and catch him, what else is there to say!

　　Xerxes smiled and said, "I'm just kidding. This communicator is specially prepared for you. You can use it to contact me in the future."
