Keiko wondered if, even if she was a guest from afar, Jeanne was strangely more familiar with the internal facilities of the Ein base than she was.
Of course, this was not a strange thing. As a newcomer who had been in this world for less than a week, Keiko was naturally not as familiar with this place as the natives, even if the natives were outsiders.
This electric car was originally used to transport goods. As the base covered a large area, the electric car was indispensable as a means of transportation inside the base.
However, it was usually the person in charge of the logistics force who used and took care of these electric cars. People from other departments couldn't use them without applying for permission beforehand.
Of course, except for some people like Jeanne, who was a buggy existence. Her identity and authority were unbelievably high, and she could use a lot of high-authority stuff without permission. It was as if she was in her own backyard.
"Major, forgive my remarks. What's the matter with you asking me to come out alone?"
After walking in silence for a while, Keiko went straight to the point. She really didn't want to get entangled with this brainy woman.
"Don't worry, I'm just asking you to have a meal together and catch up on old times," Jeanne replied slyly with a smile, which was effectively equivalent to saying nothing.
Keiko was helpless and decided to keep silent while observing Jeanne secretly.
After a close look, she found that her appearance was slightly Oriental. Although she had the typical characteristics of white people, her eyebrows had the charm of an Asian woman. Her pair of slanted foxy eyes emphasized the impression of East Asian beauty. The blue eyes are clear and captivating, especially when coupled with the smile that often hangs on her lips, revealing a cunning and clever feeling.
Keiko remembered that she had seen in Jeanne's profile that she was actually of mixed Chinese and American blood, her father, General Armstrong, was American and her mother was Chinese. She also has a brother, who was eight years older than her, named Neil Armstrong, who was currently a senior in the military scientific research institution.
Jeanne's mother's family was also a very powerful force. Although the Federation was a highly centralized military state, it also encouraged business. And Jeanne's mother's family was one of the big conglomerates in the Federation.
Her mother was part of the Mo family, a large enterprise specializing in the research and development of new materials. Both building materials and military materials are their lines of business.
Of course, the military also had a share in their group. Because of their deep ties with the military, they also took over a large number of real estate projects in the Federation. Many buildings in large military settlements were built by Mo's.
In the racial makeup of the federal population, Chinese Americans actually occupied the largest proportion. People living on the land of China have an innate advantage due to the geographical pattern caused by the catastrophe a hundred years ago. The Western Europeans, Eastern Europeans, and Western Asians of the federation were all ancestors of the same year who crossed the Himalayas that separated the east and west continents and traveled long distances to the land of China to establish a federation because only this piece of land on the entire continent was suitable for survival, for it was relatively rich and fertile land.
Because America, Australia, Southeast Asia, and Africa have been severely affected by the disaster, there are few ethnic populations left.
They then formed a cliché and a close circle, for example, the American soldier under Lieutenant Valentine's wing.
This phenomenon not only happened in ethnic minorities but also in majority groups like Chinese people, and it could be said it was more severe. Because they were native to the land, some of them frequently assumed the role of "landlord," believing that the other races were "tenants" to their homeland, while the other races felt indignant about it.
Because of this, although the status of the Chinese in the entire federal race will be slightly higher, they would still be excluded by the other races.
It was said that humankind was united, but a little racial tension was still prevalent amongst the citizens. After all, the integration time is less than a hundred years old, and racial xenophobia still persists.
The whole federation knew that people of American descent often married people of Chinese descent, which had simply become a social phenomenon. The seven-star General Armstrong is no exception. His wife was Mo Pei Yuan, the leader of the largest Chinese-American Mo group. Jeanne also has a Chinese name, Mo Jian Ni.
"Is there something on my face?"
Keiko, who was still lost in her thoughts, when she suddenly heard Jeanne's voice, only to realize that she was staring at other people's faces in a daze.
She blushed in a hurry, quickly retracted her gaze, and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm... distracted."
Jeanne chuckled lightly and said, "You, why are you always so dumb? When we met before, you always stared at me in a daze, which made me think that something strange was growing on my face," Jeanne coquettishly said. Although it is to make fun of Keiko, Keiko could clearly hear the faint feeling of affection in it.
She suddenly became stupefied, thinking that there was something between Keiko and Jeanne.
When she thought about it carefully, as long as Keiko was there, Jeanne would restrain her cold and domineering, queen-like temperament and become more amiable, flirtier, and especially like to tease Keiko.
Her hands, which were resting on her knees, clenched her trousers slowly, and her whole body tensed up. For some reason, she couldn't look directly at Jeanne anymore.
The soul in this body wasn't the same soul as the original owner, which means that "Keiko Lee" has turned into a completely different person. If the two people really had an ambiguous relationship in the past, didn't it mean that Keiko was now deceiving Jeanne's feelings under the guise of her body?
Keiko was basically a newbie in the matter of feelings and was already a little overwhelmed right now.
"Let's get away slowly, at least not to do things that will be a regret for both of us..." she secretly made up her mind.
