Chapter 173 Back to the World 1: Going Out
Yan Chu didn't hesitate at all, and walked straight into the wormhole. Almost as soon as he stepped into the wormhole, the entrance began to shrink and close at an extremely fast speed, and finally disappeared completely, as if it had never appeared.
The little golden dragon who witnessed all this couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow! So this is how he sent me away before!" Its little head was now filled with curiosity and awe of Yan Chu's magical abilities.
After everyone left, Chao Zhuyi didn't know what to do, so he had to go home.

The next morning, the sun shone through the thin clouds and fell on the earth.
At this moment, Chao Zhuyi and others received a notice from the research institute: due to some special reasons, they temporarily did not need to go to work at the unit.
This news surprised everyone. After all, the institute’s requirements for them were usually very harsh, and they wanted them to devote themselves to research 24 hours a day and work as hard as oxen and horses.
However, what was even more surprising was that Chao Zhuyi and others soon realized that there seemed to be a lot more spies around them than before.
In order to ensure that the discussions were not disturbed by the outside world, they decided to install twice the number of signal jammers indoors.
After everything was ready, several people sat together and began to discuss the current situation.
Qi Yi was the first to break the silence. He bluntly said, "In my opinion, this is most likely something the institute did on purpose! They're not usually so kind as to give us a break. Could it be that they have some conspiracy up their sleeve?"
Qi Le, who was sitting nearby, gently pushed up the frame of his glasses and agreed solemnly, "Xiaoyi's words make sense. We still need to be extra careful. I have a feeling there's a huge crisis hidden behind this matter. It might erupt at any moment, and we so-called 'outsiders' will likely be the first to suffer."
Chao Zhuyi, who had been silent the entire time, nodded slightly, expressing her agreement with Qi's optimistic view. Xu Guanqi and Yin Zui, on the other hand, simply glanced at her indifferently before looking away.
At this moment, Yin Zui suddenly suggested, "Since we finally have some time to rest, why don't we go out for a walk and relax? Those cameras outside are diligently monitoring us all day long anyway. If we don't make good use of this opportunity, wouldn't we be letting them down?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up instantly. Everyone expressed their agreement, then returned to their rooms to wash up and tidy up, then walked out of the house together, starting this rare leisure time.
After going out, the two brothers Qi Yi and Qi Le walked side by side, talking and laughing all the way; Xu Guanqi, who always liked to be alone, strolled alone on the street, enjoying the tranquility and freedom; and Chao Zhuyi and another girl naturally got together, strolling around the street with great interest, stopping in front of the shop windows on the street from time to time to pick out the items they liked.
Just as they stepped out of the door, the mysterious figures that had been hiding in the dark corner suddenly moved. Some of them quickly slipped out and followed the five people in front of them like ghosts.
On the other side, Chao Zhuyi and Yin Zui rushed straight towards the largest shopping mall in Area A.
Long before they set off, they had already pre-ordered delicious milk tea and exquisite desserts online, so that when they arrived at the mall, they could enjoy this sumptuous meal without having to wait too long.
Not long after, the two finally arrived at their destination. When the waiter brought the steaming, fragrant milk tea to the table, Yin Zui couldn't wait to pick up a cup and take a sip.
Instantly, a smile of immense satisfaction spread across her face. "Well, it really lives up to its reputation! It truly is the leading milk tea brand in District A. These 320 star coins were well spent!"
After that, she started drinking from it in big gulps. After a while, she finished a cup of milk tea. However, Yin Zui seemed to be still not satisfied and immediately placed an order for several more cups without hesitation.
After all, the milk tea in today's interstellar era is by no means comparable to the ordinary drinks on the ancient blue planet that only added a few ingredients. After continuous improvement and innovation, today's milk tea not only tastes excellent, but is also rich in nutrition. It can be said to be a fashionable drink that is both delicious and healthy.
The most important thing about this drink is that it won't make you fat, no matter how much you drink it! Even if you do gain weight, don't worry! StarCraft's one-click slimming technology is also included!
Chao Zhuyi also loves the milk tea here, especially the unique and wonderful taste. After tasting one cup, she immediately ordered several more without hesitation, ready to fully enjoy this intoxicating taste.
Yin Zui glanced towards a corner with a hint of disdain, his face full of impatience, and he uttered a dissatisfied sound: "How annoying, as annoying as a fly!"
Hearing this, Chao Zhuyi took a bite of the sweet and soft taro ball and nodded thoughtfully in response, "Well, it seems the waters are deep."
The two of them tacitly stopped talking about the previous topic and quickly shifted their attention to other lighthearted things.
They sat in comfortable seats with exquisite milk tea and delicious desserts in front of them, and began to talk enthusiastically about the current hot searches on the Star Network and various interesting gossip news.
Whether it is the gossips and anecdotes of celebrities in the entertainment industry or the public opinion storms caused by hot social events, it seems that any hot topic can become the object of their heated discussion, and once they talk, they can last for a long time.
At this moment, when they were chatting enthusiastically and excitedly, Chao Zhuyi suddenly felt a force gently pulling her sleeve.
Confused, she subconsciously turned her head to see who was pulling her sleeve. She was stunned when she saw a pair of eyes as deep and bright as obsidian.
There stood a young boy with a cute face. He tilted his head back, a sweet smile on his face, and said to Chao Zhuyi in a clear and pleasant voice, "Sister, you dropped something."
Hearing this, Chao Zhuyi was shocked and almost spit out the milk tea she had just taken. She started coughing violently, feeling as if something was stuck in her throat.
After a long time, she finally stopped coughing and her breathing gradually became steady.
Taking advantage of the moment to catch his breath, Chao Zhuyi quickly glanced at the people sitting in the corners around him, then lowered his voice and anxiously asked the young boy in front of him, "Why are you here? And... why did you become like this? You look like a child not even ten years old!"
Yan Chu slowly raised the corners of his mouth, and that smile was as bright and warm as the spring sun, revealing an irresistible innocence and purity.
He stared straight at the woman in front of him and said softly, "I came here specially to give something to my sister!"
Before he finished speaking, he took out a stone from behind him like a magic trick and carefully put it into Chao Zhuyi's hand.
After doing all this, Yan Chu's eyes quickly swept across the table in front of him that was filled with unopened milk tea, and then, while no one was paying attention, he took away two of the cups in a lightning-fast manner, the whole action was smooth and fluid.
Chao Zhuyi calmly reached into her pocket and gently stroked the stone she had just put in her hand. At the same time, she glanced at Yin Zui from the corner of her eye.
Yin Zui seemed to understand, and blinked his narrow and charming eyes slightly. After receiving the response, Chao Zhuyi's face remained calm, as if nothing had happened, and he continued to savor the milk tea in his hand leisurely.
The two of them were chatting and laughing at this time, as if what had just happened was just a trivial and unnoticeable episode.
The people around did not notice anything unusual. They were still immersed in their own topics and the joyful atmosphere. No one paid too much attention to this brief moment.
