CHAPTER 431: CHAPTER 146 KESI_2

Just as expected, Chen Yin’s joyful smile instantly froze at the corner of his mouth, the grievances in his expression reappeared on his face, looking at Du Xixi as if he were an abandoned "little wife": "Xixi, you only know how to bully me! My heart aches!"

Everyone: ...

Chen · Drama King · Yin: "Aren’t any of you going to comfort me?"

Everyone: No, please continue your performance!

Without an audience to support him, Chen Yin also felt it was too boring to perform by himself, so he coughed and somewhat returned to a serious appearance: "Actually, I came to find Xixi not just for food."

"Oh?" Du Xixi became interested, thinking her brother was simply here to satisfy his appetite, but it turns out he had another reason to find her, "What’s up?"

"Xixi, the Cultural Relics Bureau recently discovered a fragment of fabric brought out from Blue Star years ago, it seems to be Kesi!" Chen Yin finally turned serious, "I remember you wore a Kesi skirt once, and it left an impression, but I’m not sure, so I want you to take a moment to visit the Cultural Relics Bureau to see if it’s Kesi."

"Who knows, maybe Kesi can once again shine brightly in today’s interstellar times!"

"Kesi!" Upon hearing these words, Du Xixi couldn’t stay calm, almost in an instant, all the memories related to Kesi surged in her mind.

Kesi, also known as "carved silk", is an extremely complex brocade with subtle warps and wefts, almost impossible for machines to produce. In ancient times on Blue Star, Kesi was an exclusive item for the Imperial Family, and due to its intricate craftsmanship, there was always the saying "an inch of Kesi is an inch of gold."

Indeed, Du Xixi had a Kesi skirt, a multicolored cloud-patterned Kesi skirt. It was commissioned by the Du Family’s granduncle from an elder of an aristocratic family, taking about a year and a half to make. Xixi only wore it once and then cherished it.

The elder from the aristocratic family was a devoted fan of Du Family’s cuisine, unwilling to accept any payment for the multicolored Kesi skirt. However, Du Xixi had already checked the market price, and even a fan-sized piece of Kesi was expensive, let alone an entire Kesi skirt!

But Du Xixi’s internal excitement quickly calmed down. She blinked somewhat disappointedly and said softly, "The process of making Kesi is complex, and even a slight mistake can lead to failure. Even if it is Kesi, the Cultural Relics Bureau would struggle to replicate it."

Chen Yin had learned a lot during Blue Star Time, but most of it was a general understanding. He seldom touched the essence, so he knew Kesi was precious but didn’t know why.

Hearing Du Xixi say this, Chen Yin also felt a little downhearted, but then, he waved his sleeve grandly and said nonchalantly: "Even if it can’t be replicated, it doesn’t matter. Thousands of years have passed, and being able to have it again is good. If we can’t have it... at least let that small fragment prove it existed."

Du Xixi and Chen Yin exchanged a glance. They both had beautiful memories on Blue Star, and at this moment, they felt immensely nostalgic for Blue Star, the planet that had become a Primitive Planet and could never return.

Du Xixi looked nostalgic but didn’t say much more. She saw Mechanical Soldiers appearing at the other end of the video call, smiled a bit, and said goodbye to Chen Yin before hanging up.

She would make time to visit the Cultural Relics Bureau as soon as possible to see if that fragment truly was the exquisite Kesi from her memories.

In the Imperial Palace:

"Your Majesty." The Mechanical Soldiers smoothly arrived at the palace where Chen Yin was staying. It was late at night, and the Rob, along with several Mechanical Soldiers, were by Chen Yin’s side to prevent any attacks during the night. "The Tangyuan has arrived."

"Give it to me." The Rob very instinctively took it over, but instead of heading to the kitchen, it looked questioningly towards Chen Yin, "Master, am I supposed to cook these Tangyuan today? Miss instructed you to cook them yourself, not to trouble others."

"Well... naturally, it’s you who should cook them." Chen Yin replied without the slightest blush or shortness of breath, sticking his neck out, "You’re my confidant, how could you count as an outsider?"

The corner of the Rob’s Mecha mouth twitched; clearly, Chen Yin’s words should have made it happy, as Chen Yin affirmed it, but to its Mecha ears, it felt strange. It opened its mouth to refute, but couldn’t find any words to counter.

No matter how much its program was in disarray at that moment, the Rob still obediently bowed slightly and replied respectfully: "Yes!"
