The memory killing ends here.

Sikong Sheng took off his gloves and walked out of the laboratory with Lynn, but he felt increasingly uneasy in his heart.

After Nan Xiao dropped his four bombs, she was completely confused, so she didn't have the energy to ask him when he met her and developed a liking for her. This matter has been a mystery until now, but everything between them happened so naturally - they started to get along, felt good, fell in love, got together, went to bed, met his parents, everything was like a one-stop service, without any delay.

Although she didn't know what other men were like, she knew that Nan Xiao was that rare type with high emotional intelligence and high EQ. The relationship between them had always been controlled by him alone. She had never seen anyone around her who didn't like him. Moreover, everyone who saw the two of them said that she was like Monkey King in the palm of his hand, and could never get out of his Five Finger Mountain.

Well, actually it means she is a fool, which she can understand.

After changing into casual clothes, she finally made up her mind, raised her hand and patted Lynn's shoulder hard.

Lynn's shoulder was numb from being slapped by her. She asked with a grin, "What are you doing? Are you trying to murder me by ruining your and Brother Xiao's lovemaking?"

She shook her head. "I think you're right."

Lynn: ???

She shook her phone. "I feel like he likes me so much. I really feel like I've won the jackpot. I have to ask him why. After all... I don't think I'm the kind of girl who's very likable."

"It's good that you know! You are a teachable person!"

Lynn felt that a certain piece of wood seemed to have become a little more understanding, but she also felt that the direction of this matter was not right. When she wanted to grab this piece of wood and scold him a few more times, the wood had disappeared.

...

The military district was not too far from T City, so Nan Xiao sped all the way back and arrived around eight o'clock in the evening.

Perhaps because he had been angered by the two cousins ​​of the Sikong family in turn, he didn't feel hungry even though it was past dinner time. He originally wanted to go straight back to the dormitory to tidy up, rest and sleep, but was intercepted by a Cheng Yaojin on the way.

"It's only what time now, why are you in such a hurry to go back?" Du Chengkai appeared out of nowhere. As soon as Nan Xiaoren reached the dormitory door, he hooked his arm around his neck. "Ah? Master Xiao?"

Nan Xiao squinted his eyes at a certain man whose shaved head couldn't hide his ruffian and cunning expression, and said with a slight movement of his thin lips, "Let go."

"Hey, I won't,"

Du Chengkai is the typical type of person who will do whatever you tell him not to do. He has been criticized by his superiors for this many times, but this guy is a troublemaker who refuses to admit defeat. Except for being a little slick, he is first-class in all other aspects. His grades are always tied for first place with Nan Xiao. So when his old boss promoted him, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth while giving him the medal. After that, he slapped him on the head and called him a bastard.

Nan Xiao, however, is a typical person with a good family background who is very popular with his superiors. He never causes trouble and is always steady and decent, but he happens to have a very good relationship with this troublemaker.

Seeing that Du Chengkai was getting excited, Nan Xiao raised his eyes slightly, and without saying a word, he grabbed the other person's arm, bent down, and waved his hand to give him a neat over-the-shoulder throw.

Unexpectedly, Du Chengkai came to his senses in mid-air, broke free from his shackles in a few seconds, and jumped to the opposite side.

"Boring," Du Chengkai whistled. "Fighting with you is the most boring thing. I can fight for a long time and still neither win nor lose."

Nan Xiao smiled slightly, kicked him, and continued walking towards the dormitory.

"Hey, hey, hey," Du Chengkai hurried after him like a sticky candy, "Master Xiao, are you really going back? The Arts Department is having a special meeting in the cafeteria right now. Why don't you accompany me for a stroll? There are some new girls coming in today, and they're all so pretty! Let me tell you!"

"Not interested," he said as he walked away, "you should go by yourself."

"Hey," Du Chengkai said as he was about to lean against him again, "Don't be like this, Master Xiao, I know you are devoted to our sister-in-law and your love is deep and lasting, but those girls in the Arts Department only want to talk to you. When you talk to them, they all blush and surround you. But if I go alone, they won't even look at me! You just went there to cover for me, I will never let you do anything to let our sister-in-law down!"

After hearing this, Nan Xiao stopped.

"What! Are you willing to go with me?!" Du Chengkai widened his eyes excitedly.

He looked at Du Chengkai and asked, "Do you know why people don't even want to look at you?"

"Why?"

"Because of your bear-like appearance."

Du Chengkai pointed at his face and said, "I still look like a jerk? I'm just a handsome guy, okay?"

Nan Xiao was too lazy to argue with him anymore, "Go away, your grandpa is in a bad mood today."

A huge question mark slowly appeared on Du Chengkai's pig head. When he came to his senses, his master Xiao had already disappeared in the dormitory building.

**

After taking a shower in the dormitory, he was half-naked and drying his hair with a towel. At this moment, his cell phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

Nan Xiao walked to the table and looked at the caller ID. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then a hint of tenderness involuntarily appeared in his eyes.

He put down the towel and answered the phone.

"Nan Xiao?" A soft female voice came from the other side.

"Yeah," he sat down in the chair.

"Um, have you eaten?" Sikong Sheng said cautiously on the other end.

"without."

"Ah..." she said, "Aren't you hungry?"

"Not bad," he leaned back in his chair, lowered his eyes and played with the towel on the table, with a slight smile on his lips, "although I didn't eat enough this afternoon."

The person on the other end was silent for several seconds before he realized what he meant and let out a soft "ah".

Even through the phone, he could imagine that her face must be flushed red and she was curled up like a shrimp. He always liked to tease her like that, it was really adorable.

The person on the other end struggled for a long time before abruptly changing the subject, "Um, are you mad at me?"

He hesitated for two seconds, "What if I say yes?"

She was stunned for a moment, "...I, I'm sorry."

Nan Xiao wondered what was wrong with the little girl today. She must have been scolded by Lynn again, and she actually called to surrender. In the past, even if he was furious, she would continue with her experiment without realizing it, and would not have realized that she had to come to appease her boyfriend.

In fact, his anger disappeared as soon as he heard her voice. He liked her so much that he would never really get angry with her.

However, whether he was deliberately trying to be mean or really wanted her to change, he held the phone in his hand for two seconds, pondering, and then said, "Sorry won't be of any use."

Sikong Sheng on the other end was dumbfounded.

"Shengsheng, I know you didn't mean to be distracted. You're just too focused on research. I understand, but have you ever thought about how every time I look forward to seeing you, wanting to spend some time with you, and you always ignore me like this, will I one day feel tired?"

For such a long time, he had never said a harsh word to her in front of her. This was the first time that he revealed to her a little bit of his true thoughts.

"I'm going to rest first. I have training tomorrow morning. Good night."

Sikong Sheng, who was in T City, sat blankly on the sofa, listening to the busy tone of his cell phone. After a while, the phone fell to the ground with a "click".
