Hello, Arknights

Chapter 281 White Owl and Nightingale

In Nightingale's room, a certain white-haired Liberi was having an important meeting with a blond-haired, black-horned Sarkaz. Instead of sitting on the chairs and the bed, they took a spread and sat on the floor.

"Operator Nightingale, if you want to better integrate into the group, you need to load and store knowledge in the corresponding field. White Owl believes that it is necessary to pass on some interpersonal communication experience to Operator Nightingale."

Nightingale nodded, showing a serious attitude of listening attentively.

"What kind of knowledge does Operator Nightingale want to learn first?" White-Faced Owl nodded and said seriously.

Nightingale thought of Ling who had been busy for her recently, and said seriously: "Interactions between opposite sexes."

“The scope has been clearly defined. First of all, both sexes are equal.”

"The difference lies in a series of factors such as personality, family education, acquired environment, etc. There are many things that need to be paid attention to."

"Hmm...what if he has a mild personality but is easily stressed by certain people?"

"Analysis... Comparing the data, conclusion: A gentle personality means that he is like this to most people, but generally there are two different qualities. One is politeness, which is the courtesy and friendliness between individuals under normal circumstances. Generally speaking, it will weaken as the relationship progresses. The other is relationship. When people get familiar with each other, they no longer care about the superficial personality. Generally speaking, it will not change easily with the passage of time."

"But this stage is also the end point of most relationships. Attitudes will be slightly adjusted due to certain events. The changes in form can be classified, but this is just the opinion of the scholar White-Faced Owl. What White-Faced Owl wants to state is that emotions are complicated. No matter what bold theory you want to easily summarize it, you may encounter the Black-Feathered Beast."

"Oh... Operator Owl, aren't you a medical operator? It turns out you are also a scholar in psychology." Nightingale exclaimed.

"Rejected. White-Faced Owl just feels that this makes him more confident. In fact, he has only just begun to understand the level of learning recently." White-haired Liberi said with confidence, his expression unchanged.

"Oh, then go ahead." Nightingale nodded, still marveling at the White-Faced Owl's strong mobility.

So the white-faced owl began her "popular science".

But soon, she seemed to have lured the focus to the area she wanted to tell.

"…For example, if A and B meet alone, usually, especially under other pretexts, they must have the intention to adjust the current state of their relationship. If they are evasive when asked about it, there is a high probability that it is related to feelings."

"At the same time, if one party A shows signs of affection for the other party B's relatives or close friends, then there is a high probability that there will be a transition to marriage."

"In summary, if target A shows hesitation and indecision, people around him should take the initiative to provide assistance, otherwise the situation is likely to end in failure."

Nightingale seemed to understand: "I don't quite understand... but it seems to make sense... Operator White-Faced Owl, you are amazing. You can explain it so clearly..."

“Only with a goal can there be preparation. Achievements are made by both hard work and talent.” The White-Faced Owl gave a thumbs up.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Nightingale, are you there?" Ling Dengxian asked while stretching. He planned to find Nightingale to ask about Lin Guang's situation. According to his personal intuition, Nightingale would not remain indifferent.

"Here I am, wait a moment."

Nightingale stood up and tried to open the door by holding onto the wall. White-Faced Owl stood up and helped her back to the bed, while he went to open the door.

"Squeak."

"...Rhode Island's doors don't make this kind of noise. White-faced Owl, the sound of the wooden door is a bit out of place. And why the hell are you here?!"

"White-faced Owls will refresh in places where they are needed." The white-haired Liberi girl said seriously.

"Okay... Nightingale, I want to ask you something, can you come in?" Ling Dengxian asked.

"White Pigeon's words..."

"No, Operator White Dove, please pay attention to the social distance between the sexes." White-Faced Owl said righteously.

"Oh, you're right. Sorry Nightingale, I'll wait for you outside." Ling Dengxian knew he had offended him, so he smiled apologetically and retreated back to the corridor.

Soon, the white-faced owl came out pushing the nightingale.

Ling Dengxian was not in a hurry to get to the point. Normally, he should take Nightingale to have breakfast.

"White Dove, did you see Shining today? White Owl said she didn't see her when she came back from the duty room. She should have been on duty last night."

"Didn't see her?" Ling Dengxian showed a suspicious look. When he left, Shining hadn't left yet? No matter whether White Owl left early or late, Shining should still be there.

"Yes, White Owl didn't see the Shining Operator."

But there's nothing strange about it. He came back quite some time after he left. It wouldn't be strange if Shining had changed shifts and was doing other things and was not here.

"I did see what Shining said. After all, she was the one who found me..."

"Question, has Operator Shining contacted Operator White Dove? Is there any work-related matters that need to be communicated?"

"No, just a personal matter..." Ling Dengxian glanced at Nightingale cautiously and felt that it would be better to wait for Shining to tell her herself.

The hair on the top of White Owl's head stood up, and he exchanged a glance with Nightingale, becoming alert: "Confirm the answer, private matter? Are Operator White Dove and Operator Shining the only ones present?"

"Yeah, yeah, what's the matter? Uh, actually, it's probably not wrong to say it's about work."

Nightingale was stunned. She looked at the white dove with a complicated expression, then at the white-faced owl. Just as she was about to say something, the white-faced owl stopped her and said, "Wait a minute. I think it's not rigorous to make a judgment at this point. We need to wait and see."

Nightingale nodded. Ling, who had seen the interaction between the two, felt something was amiss, but he did not ask questions right away. He was curious about what conclusions these two could come up with together.

Arriving at the cafeteria, Ling Dengxian thought for a moment, glanced at the price list, nodded, turned to Nightingale and said, "Nightingale, do you want to eat anything?"

The blonde Sarkaz girl with black horns walked forward, looked at a row of breakfasts, and paused on a golden food. Ling Dengxian tilted his head and said, "Pineapple bun? Want some?"

"…I have, but you don't want to eat this today?"

"why?"

"Because I came here with you and White-Faced Owl today, and I want to eat something that everyone likes." Nightingale pursed her lips.

"Just choose what you like, it's okay." Ling Dengxian smiled, stretched out his hand to greet the operator at the window, and was about to buy two pineapple buns. At this time, a small hand pulled his hand down:

"I want that."

Ling Dengxian took a look and found that it was a breakfast he had never seen before. He asked his colleague at the window: "What is this?"

"This is a new dessert that Brother Jiaofeng taught us. It's being launched for the first time today. I highly recommend it. He said it's a delicacy from their hometown. The name is also very interesting, called 'Tongxintian'."

"Brother Jiaofeng recommended it, so I have to try it. Bring a few more, it's my treat."

"Where is the White-Faced Owl?" White-haired Liberi raised his hand.

"You pay for it yourself, you're different."

The White-faced Owl pulled the wheelchair back a step, and also pulled the Nightingale who was fully focused on "Tongxintian". The latter looked back at her in confusion. The White-faced Owl stared at her. After ten seconds of confusion, the Nightingale finally remembered the scientific knowledge that the White-faced Owl had taught her.

Both sexes, meet in private, under other pretexts, and finally, please those close to them.

To be rigorous, Nightingale tugged at the corner of Ling Dengxian's clothes and asked seriously, "Bai Ge, what do you think of The Shining?"

"The Shining? Ah... that," Ling Dengxian recalled his conversation with The Shining. He felt a little complicated when Nightingale suddenly asked him about it. "It's hard to say, but after all, I still want to build a good relationship with him..."

Okay, hesitate, all done.

Nightingale thought about Ling's character, and then thought about the "theory", nodded, and grabbed his hand, which made Ling's face blush, but the next moment, Nightingale said:

"Bai Ge, although it's sudden, Shining is very passive, so just confess directly."

Ling Dengxian was stunned, as if his soul had been blown away by a level one natural disaster. He was confused and bewildered:

"What did you say...?"

The Rhodes Island cafeteria operators behind him dropped their breakfast into the trough, stunned.

At this time, Ling Dengxian also saw the white-faced owl silently extending his thumb, and seemed to understand something.

"White-faced Owl, can you explain what's going on?"

"Operator White Dove, White Owl thinks this is Operator White Dove's own business, but according to etiquette, you should express your blessings--"

——Frost Leaf finally took Xinhuo to familiarize herself with the environment, but she only said a few words when she led them to a place as an introduction. She didn't talk much until Xinhuo asked, "How about Operator White Pigeon?"

"That guy is very troublesome, but he likes to worry about other people's things. His life and interpersonal relationships are like a ball of untied thread. But we can't just ignore him. After all, he is my captain..." Muttering all the way, Frost Leaf led Xinhuo to the cafeteria and just happened to catch a glimpse of the scene inside.

Mou Ling gave Nightingale and White-Faced Owl a slap each, one light and one heavy, and said something with a sullen face. The two touched their foreheads and nodded.

"Well, worry about it."

Ling Dengxian thought about it and felt the same way. If he had explained everything beforehand, this wouldn't have happened. Besides, he was smart not to anticipate what might happen with the White-Faced Owl present and to let her make her own plans.

So he gave himself a slap on the face.

"Well, there's still something wrong with my brain." Frost Leaf spread his hands expressionlessly.
