Chapter 38: The most human episode
Dystopia is a very lively girl. With her and Elysia livening up the atmosphere, the whole living room suddenly became lively.
Until Elysia asked, "By the way, Ato, I remember Mei came with you? Where are the other two?"
"Oh, she's in the kitchen." Ato answered casually, immediately attracting the attention of everyone present.
Even Mobius' expression became subtle: "You let Mei into the kitchen?"
As we all know, plums and kitchens cannot coexist.
"Don't be nervous, we're just putting all the ingredients in the refrigerator. It's not a big deal." Ato waved his hand, signaling everyone to stay calm.
As he finished speaking, the kitchen door was opened from the inside, and Mei walked out with a little embarrassment on her face: "Uh, the refrigerator seems to have suddenly broken down. Is there anyone who can fix it?"
Obviously, scholars in the field of quantum mechanics cannot solve the minor problems of refrigerators.
But the question is, why would simply putting something in the refrigerator cause a malfunction?
However, no one present was surprised by this. Even the culprit Ato had an expression that said, "So the legend is true," and then turned his gaze to Ai Yue.
'Huh, me?'
Seeing everyone turning their eyes to him, Ai Yue couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression.
"Don't just stand there," Mobius finally spoke, "If there's anyone here who could possibly fix the refrigerator, you're the only one left."
He knows how to build a Honkai energy adsorption device, which means he knows mechanics, and he knows how to repair a refrigerator, right? What's the difference between this and asking an IT student to repair a computer!
But Ai Yue didn't object because he really knew how to repair the refrigerator.
Fortunately, this was not a big problem. It was probably because Mei's unintentional behavior affected a sensor in the refrigerator, causing it to report an error. Ai Yue simply adjusted the status of the sensor, then slapped the refrigerator twice, and the problem was solved.
After Ai Yue solved this little problem, Elysia blocked him at the kitchen door.
She handed a bag in her hand to Ai Yue with an expectant look on her face: "Come on, Ai Yue, try on this dress."
"Suits?" Ai Yue opened the bag and took a look, a little surprised. "Don't tell me you prepared one for everyone?"
He had thought that the suit Ato was wearing was one he had brought himself, but now it seemed that was not the case.
"Of course, since it's a birthday party, you have to dress formally. I know you don't have a dress, so I asked a great friend to help you prepare one." Elysia said with a smile, and suddenly thought of something, "Oh, speaking of this, I haven't prepared anything for Mobius yet. This is difficult. I don't know if it's too late..."
Apparently, because Mobius had refused to attend before, Elysia hadn't made any special preparations for her.
"So, you're planning to let me change here?" Ai Yue looked at the kitchen behind him. "Even if you don't let me go to the bedroom, you should at least let me use the bathroom, right?"
"I'm sorry, there's someone in the bathroom right now," Elysia put her hands together and looked at Ai Yue with a "please" look, "I can only trouble you to bear with it for a while, okay~"
Ai Yue nodded to show his understanding, then closed the kitchen door and kept Elysia out.
Fortunately, the clothes provided by Elysia did not include underwear, and trying on clothes only required changing into tops, so after a while, Ai Yue came out wearing the black suit.
"Hmm... looks really good." Seeing the brand new Ai Yue, Elysia couldn't help but take a few more glances, "Ai Yue, you really shouldn't wear that white coat all day long, what a waste."
As she was talking, she couldn't help but move closer to Ai Yue and started to fix his hair.
A suit is a very picky piece of clothing. If it doesn't fit your body, it will look strange when worn. Although Ai Yue doesn't exercise normally, his natural skeleton and height give him a perfect body shape. In addition, this suit was made for him. The combination of the two creates an effect of one plus one being greater than two.
If Ai Yue, who usually wears a white coat, looks like an ordinary scholar that can be seen everywhere, then Ai Yue in this suit looks like a nobleman from a wealthy family. Even with a messy hairstyle, he looks a bit free and unrestrained.
"It fits me well," Ai Yue moved his arms and nodded, with a strange look on his face, "So, why does it fit me so well?"
How come he doesn't remember when he leaked his physiological data?
"Of course I estimated it by eye. I have a pretty good eye, right?" After fixing Ai Yue's hair, Elysia smiled and took his arm, then walked towards the living room. "Come on, let everyone give their opinions too."
Facts have proved that Elysia really has good taste. The clothes can perfectly match the owner's temperament. Coupled with Ai Yue's already good looks and figure, everyone's eyes light up as soon as she appears.
"Kosma, look, look!" Dystopia poked Kosma, who was busy arranging the string lights, and looked at Ai Yue with surprise in her eyes, "Dr. Ai Yue looks so handsome with his bangs lifted up!"
"Indeed," Kosma looked at Ai Yue and commented seriously, "But I still think Vice Captain Kevin is more handsome."
"Your Kevin filter is really hopeless." The blonde sighed helplessly, "But Kevin is indeed more handsome on the battlefield, that's undeniable."
"You look very handsome, Dr. Ai Yue." Ato gave a thumbs up, "I almost didn't recognize you just now."
"It seems that Elysia really put a lot of thought into it. I just realized that she prepared dresses for everyone." Mei sat next to Mobius, glanced in the direction of Ai Yue, and then returned her gaze to Mobius, "I'm really glad that you are willing to come. Thank you, Mobius."
"You are quite skilled in the hostess's posture." Mobius looked at Mei teasingly until the other party showed a shy expression, then she looked at Ai Yue again, "I didn't expect this guy to be born with such a good appearance."
When I think about it this way, Ai Yue is a smart guy, good-looking, and most importantly, has a good personality. He is a pretty perfect person and he has taken advantage of everything.
"Okay, okay, everyone, stop what you are doing for a moment." After a while, as the living room decoration was almost finished, Elysia took out a stack of papers from somewhere and distributed them to everyone one by one. "This is the arrangement of the lines for the time. Everyone recite them and we will rehearse later."
"There's nothing to memorize with just these few lines, right?" Ato glanced at the paper in his hand, then glanced at Elysia, and suddenly his eyes widened, "Wow, Elysia, you assigned yourself so many lines, isn't that inappropriate?"
"What's inappropriate? I'm the host, okay?" Elysia said confidently, "Okay, everyone listen to me. On the day of the birthday party, when Kevin walks into the room, we'll say it together—"
"Happy birthday!"
A few days later, when Kevin walked into the room with the lights not yet on, he was greeted by the neat sound of blessings.
