Chapter 58p1: Online Dating a Bad Beta

It had rained in the cemetery, and the ground was still wet.

Red Tea Star had artificial rain every Wednesday from one to two in the afternoon. It was now three in the afternoon, and the water on the ground had not yet dried.

Xi Congshuang got off the aircraft. The puddle at her feet reflected the blue sky and the bouquet of flowers held in the arms of the tall and graceful figure.

This was her first time here. She had not expected that the people of the interstellar era would have such a similar way of expressing their thoughts for the deceased. Xi Congshuang’s parents were buried here.

The cute robot guarding the cemetery gate lit up its eyes, instantly recorded her facial information, identified the visitor, and said gently, “Visitors, please turn left after entering. The white daisies and sunflowers you brought today are very beautiful.”

Xi Congshuang was surprised. This robot was unexpectedly humanized. She answered, “Thank you.”

The gatekeeper robot’s eyes lit up again. “Do you need me to lead the way?”

Xi Congshuang shook her head. “No need. I want to walk over by myself.”

“Okay.”

As soon as her voice fell, an aircraft stopped not far behind her. This time, a family of three got out, their clothes plain.

The young girl tugged at her clothes and said something with a pout. The noble lady beside her patted her shoulder and comforted her in a low voice, which made the young girl’s expression look better.

Xi Lianghan, who was in the lead, saw the figure at the gate at a glance and said loudly, “Xiao Shuang, you’re already here.”

The figure at the cemetery gate moved, looked back, and revealed the bouquet of flowers in her arms.

At first, the three of them thought they had seen wrong. When they got closer, the exquisitely packaged bouquet came into view, and they could even smell the fresh scent of grass and trees, which could not be imitated by artificial perfume.

Mrs. Xi was surprised. “Xiao Shuang, you’re…”

“A gift for the visit.” Xi Congshuang held the flowers and looked at the three of them’s empty hands with confusion, but she said nothing.

Because plants were also precious in the interstellar era, people would use all sorts of methods to keep a fresh flower alive for as long as possible. No one would specially buy an expensive bouquet of flowers and casually place it in front of a tombstone, letting the bouquet rot and be taken away by the patrolling robot.

Most people were willing to buy bouquets and irrigate them with various anti-wilting agents to keep them alive for as long as possible, but few people chose to place a bouquet of flowers in front of a tomb. The high price was another matter, but they just felt it was a waste.

But Xi Congshuang’s appearance with flowers made the three of them, who were empty-handed, look strange. No matter how you looked at them, they couldn’t be people without money, and the things they had wasted were definitely not just a bouquet of flowers.

Xi Congshuang did not think too much. She was used to acting according to etiquette, but she had not expected the star citizens of the interstellar era to be so obviously impolite. “Since we’re here, let’s go in.”

After she finished speaking, she turned and entered the cemetery. The three of them were about to follow when they saw the person in front of them pause and suddenly turn to look in a certain direction.

The three of them’s hearts tightened, and they also followed her gaze, constantly asking what was wrong.

There was nothing in the direction she was looking. On the clean and tidy square stood only a statue of an angel. The angel in the pure white dress had her hands crossed and pressed on her chest, her face with a compassionate expression lowered, her half-closed eyes looking at the fountain at her feet.

Near the angel was a flowerbed with green grass. Without exception, they were all lifelike plants.

The red apple muttered in Xi Congshuang’s ear, “An angel has wings, and I have wings too. Rounding up, I’m an apple angel!”

“…”

Xi Lianghan asked, “Did you see something?”

Xi Congshuang suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and shook her head. “Nothing. I just feel like someone is secretly taking pictures of us.”

She was always overly sensitive to others’ gazes and cameras. She had been teased before that she was not a big star living in the spotlight, so why was she more sensitive than a big star?

Almost no one could make her insensitive to anyone’s gaze, and no one could give her “desensitization therapy” by her side, so she had brought this bad habit to this world.

Xi Yanjun couldn’t help but say, “That’s a square. You can’t hide people. Why are you so nervous? Did you do something you can’t let people see…”

She couldn’t finish her sentence. She was pulled by the lady beside her and glared at by her father, so she had to swallow her words and humph a few times.

Originally, Xi Yanjun was not a well-behaved person. Since that day when Xi Congshuang had made her lose face and had even asked her father for money in public, she had unilaterally turned against the other party and had returned to the state of being at odds with Xi Congshuang.

She had been laughed at by her friends for so long. What was wrong with her saying a few words about her? If it weren’t for her parents, she wouldn’t have let the other party off so easily.

The lady smiled. “Congshuang, don’t take it to heart. She’s just being childish. I’ll teach her a good lesson when I get back.”

The red apple flapped its wings. “Yes, yes. Being a few months younger than you is just being childish. You have to be tolerant.”

Xi Congshuang ignored it and continued to walk into the cemetery with the flowers. Xi Yanjun was annoyed again. Just as she was about to say something, she was scared by Xi Lianghan’s gaze and finally shut up.

Xi Lianghan: “Xiao Shuang, don’t take it to heart. She’s always like this. I let her follow you before to learn from you, but I didn’t expect her to be so useless and not learn any of your good points.”

Xi Congshuang said faintly, “I know. It’s just because I don’t give her money that she’s like this. Everyone is like this. They’re only nice to me because of my money.”

“In the past, I thought I didn’t want a lot of money, just a lot of love… sigh…”

“…”

The lines of a youthful and angsty rich second generation came out just like that.

The red apple sighed that Xi Congshuang’s viewing experience was also useful. As expected of an elite, she could always be presentable.

Xi Lianghan’s mouth opened and closed. He felt that it was not right to say anything at this time, so he also shut up.

He had a premonition that if he continued to speak, he would hear Xi Congshuang call him “Uncle” again, which would make his scalp tingle.

Then he would ask, “Uncle, are you also after my money?”

The group of people walked to the tombstone in silence. Xi Congshuang bent down to offer the flowers and carefully looked at the photo on the tombstone.

The tombstone was wiped clean by the robot in charge of care. It was surrounded by lifelike plants. The bouquet of white daisies and sunflowers was placed in the middle, looking lush and vibrant.

This couple had died in a vicious hijacking incident. The spaceship and the space pirates had been blown into space debris, and no one’s remains could be found. The one in the cemetery was just a cenotaph.

A butterfly flew over their heads and flew into the distance.

Xi Lianghan had a habit of coming to pay respects to her parents with Xi Congshuang every year, and this year was no exception. In the past, he had found it troublesome, but now he felt that it was convenient for him.

After that day in the conference room, he always felt that something was not right, as if things were about to get out of his control. He had been on guard for a long time.

But after that, Xi Congshuang had done nothing. She had stayed in the hospital every day to accompany her little lover, not leaving the hospital gate, and not caring about the company. He had thought that he had been mistaken.

A few days ago, she had started to investigate the past again, which made him not understand what Xi Congshuang was up to.

Looking at her today, he knew that he had been mistaken again. This Xi Congshuang was clearly not to be feared.

But…

Xi Lianghan looked in the direction the butterfly had gone. Who would have thought that the butterfly that was not cared about was a special-shaped camera, faithfully taking pictures of the scene it saw?

He had wanted to leak this matter to the media he was cooperating with again, publish a news article to praise it, and consolidate his image of being a nostalgic and kind person, so that even if something happened to Xi Congshuang in the future, no one would think of him.

Who knew that he had miscalculated? Xi Congshuang had brought flowers, but they had not remembered to bring flowers. In comparison, it always seemed inappropriate.

He always cared about his face and was more concerned about details than ordinary people, overly cautious.

He could only temporarily give up putting pictures in this year’s news, not caring if the article with only text was convincing enough.
