Time in a collapsing world

After calling Graciu and Pado back, and after they got dressed, Li took the initiative to suggest going to a restaurant to have a good meal, which would be a happy ending to the day.

"? Mebius, aren't you going?"

Li looked at Mebius. Just now, she proposed the idea of ​​returning to the Fire Chaser Moth first.

Facing Li's inquiry, Mebius just shook his head, "I have wasted too much time. There is still a large part of the work in the laboratory that Klein cannot complete."

"Don't you even have time to eat?" Li felt very regretful.

"Oh? Little white mouse, are you reluctant to let me go?" Mebius looked at Li and said with a charming smile.

"That's right..." Li scratched his head, an action he often did when he felt embarrassed.

"I've wasted so long anyway, so what does it matter if I waste it any more?"

"...Little guinea pig, I'm so sorry, I really have something important to do this time~" If it were normal, facing Li's straightforward request to stay, Mebius might have agreed, but this time, forget it. .

She spent a lot of time on the data related to super-transformation surgery and all kinds of messy things.

"Little guinea pig, I had a lot of fun today~" Mebius thought for a while and then praised her. Although apart from the time at the beach and the amusement park, whether it was the movie theater or the bathhouse, it brought her many memories. It's not that great, but... overall it's not too bad.

Seeing that Li kindly invited him out, Mebius thought that he could still give some encouragement.

"Why do you like to leave halfway..." Li muttered.

"What did you say?"

"Ah, no, it's nothing. Since you have something to do, I won't let you stay, but..." Li turned to look at the other four people waiting for them in the distance, and reached out to hold Mebius's wrist. , pulling her away from the sight of several people.

Paduo seemed to want to follow, but was held back by Qianjie.

Maybe he saw that Li wanted to be alone with Mebius, so Qianjie didn't let Pado follow them to disturb them.

A little further away from everyone.

"Guinea pig? Is this...?"

Mebius looked at the object placed in Li's open palm and said with some surprise.

What Li took out was an earring, an earring that Mebius was extremely familiar with.

Mebius touched his right ear. There, there was a Mobius-shaped earring. It was a relic left by her mother, but there was only one, so she only wore it on her right ear. There was no earring on her left ear. Any decoration.

What Li took out was also a Mobius earring. Except for the color, the rest of it looked exactly the same as the earrings that Mobius had been wearing, both in size and shape.

"A gift." Li grabbed the ear clip part of the earring and let it hang down by gravity. "I originally wanted to wait until after dinner to give it to you, but the plan couldn't keep up with the change, so I had to give it to you in advance~"

"...Little guinea pig, when did you prepare this?" Mebius raised his hand and rubbed the surface of the earring. Even the feel was no different from his own earring.

"Of course it was specially prepared for you these days... Although I really want to say this, in fact, I had the idea of ​​making this earring when you and I first met. Alas, if it weren't for the same style, I don’t want to do it myself.” Li said helplessly.

"The first time we met...why?"

"You can understand that you are suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder. When I saw that only one of your two ears had an earring, I felt particularly uncomfortable."

At first, Li agreed to become Mebius' experimental subject because of money. At that time, the two of them were not that familiar with each other, and their relationship was just that of an ordinary scientist and experimental subject.

When faced with Mebius who was acting recklessly on her body, Li was not used to her eyes that wanted to dissect him inside and out, so when they faced each other, Li's eyes were always on Mebius's other parts. He glanced at all parts of her body, especially her asymmetrical earrings, but she just couldn't make eye contact with Mebius.

Because of this, Rina's idea of ​​making a Moebius earring of the same style became more and more intense, and finally she actually started to do it, just as a way to pass the time and divert attention.

Later, Li and Mebius also formed a certain bond after getting along for a long time. After all, there were very few experimental subjects that could last in Mebius's hands for such a long time.

In the past, Mebius often neglected Li's own safety because of his enthusiasm for experiments. If Li hadn't been lucky, he would have been unable to see the sun today.

The situation is much better now. At least in the eyes of Mebius today, Li's life has a higher priority than experiments. In other words, if there are any experiments that may threaten Li's life, Mebius Us will push it away.

After a long period of polishing, the earring was successfully made by glass. It was almost the same as the original one of Mebius. If it weren't for the difficulty in painting, glass would have completely finished the earring. Copy it all over the place.

"I have held this earring in my hand for so long, and I have long wanted to find an opportunity to give it to you."

Li brushed away the hair from Mebius's left ear, and clamped the earring on her earlobe at the correct position, just parallel to the earring on her right ear.

"call……"

Li let out a breath, now feeling comfortable.

"Huh? Mebius?" Suddenly, she noticed that Mebius' head was slightly lowered, and her drooping hair covered her expression.

Li raised an eyebrow and knelt down to see her condition, but was slapped away by Mebius.

"Hey~ what are you doing?" Li said angrily, covering her nose. Mebius's palm just hit his nose from the front.

"Little white mouse..."

"...?"

Snapped---!

Mebius suddenly grabbed the back of Li's neck and pulled his head towards him. Mebius' head suddenly came closer and his lips were close to Li's ear.

"!!!"

Li's whole body froze. Is this kind of scene and atmosphere like that? That kind of classic plot in a love drama?

He couldn't tell whether it was anticipation or some other feeling. Li wanted to turn his head to look at her, but Mebius' words interrupted his movement.

"...little guinea pig, I like your gift very much~"

"Ahahaha...my pleasure."

"so……"

so?

"...I'll just pretend that what happened with Alicia coming here today never happened~"

"..."

Thump thump thump!

Mebius opened the distance between him and Li. Under the setting sun, Mebius's face was reflected red, and her original expression could not be seen at all.

"..."

"Haha... see you tomorrow, little white mouse~"

Not seeing Li react, Mebius had a happy smile on her face. Maybe she was in a good mood after receiving the gift. Her footsteps were much lighter when she left.

Li stared blankly at the direction Mebius left.

how to say? Should he thank Miss Mebius for not killing him?
