intermission

After Su Liu returned to Spark City, she looked so ugly that the people in the city avoided her and quickly ran to wash their faces.

How could there be ten drops in the glass bottle? Five at most. Su Liu used two drops to clean it. By the time Ji He and Qi Fengling finished washing their faces, only a tiny amount of liquid remained in the bottle, barely enough to count as one drop.

Only after handing the bottle intact to Dusha did Su Liu relax and sit down to eat.

At this time, Su Liu's complexion was still a little haggard, but at least not so ugly anymore, and he could barely meet people as the city lord.

Xiao Cheng's given name is Qin, and dinner was delivered to him by Cheng Qin.

Cheng Qin adapted well. The Spark City implemented a system of more work, more pay and distribution according to needs. Cheng Qin also gained some weight, and her face was no longer as sad and sharp as when she worked under Manager Gu.

Su Liu said a few polite words.

Something like "Are you used to being here?"

Cheng Qin also knew that as the city lord, Su Liu could not have any personal relationship with his people. In addition, Cheng Qin himself was a rebel who dared to challenge authority, and he did not attach too much importance to his status. He respected Su Liu only because Su Liu was worthy of respect, not just because of Su Liu's status.

After leaving the Duke's Manor, Cheng Qin could no longer be as casual with Su Liu as before.

Seeing that Su Liu didn't talk to him about the past, nor did she warn him not to be ungrateful, Cheng Qin pretended not to remember anything and responded with a few meaningless words in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

After a few words, Cheng Qin was quickly called away by Du Sha.

Xun Ruozhang came to report on his work. When he mentioned Cheng Qin, he hesitated. "...Cheng Qin has some talent in disguise, so I decided on my own to let him learn from Du Sha."

"You have good vision. Just go for it and don't feel restrained." Su Liu saw the interaction between Du Sha and Cheng Qin just now and knew that the two had a relationship of both teacher and friend.

What Su Liu saw in Xun Ruozhang was his boldness, carefulness and unconventionality. If every detail had to be reported to Su Liu and only implemented after Su Liu's approval, then the Spark City would not have reached its current scale.

After that, they exchanged a few more words, and Xun Ruozhang bowed and left.

After a while, Chu Liu came over holding Ji Lian.

The first time they met, Su Liu knew that they had completed the evolution as scheduled.

Su Liu looked at Ji He's loyalty and smiled with satisfaction. A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. The remaining ten is not so easy to get, but if the difficult first half is scored, the second half will not be too difficult either.

"Cousin!" Ji Lian looked at Ji He in a daze.

Ji He didn't recognize Ji Lian at first.

Ji Lian has never suffered any hardship. After becoming a vampire, she has become more and more distinctive. Now, no one will mistake Ji Lian for a reflection of Queen Dai Ning.

"Sister?" Ji He put down his chopsticks.

Ever since Manager Ji died, Ji He already knew that Ji Lian was his biological sister, but he didn't say much. It was a shame to have a father like Manager Ji, and it was better for Ji Lian not to know.

Chu Liu was also well aware of this. He and Ji He had a tacit understanding on this matter and both chose to keep silent about it.

"Where are my mother and the others? Why did they disappear after I returned? I asked many people, but they all said they didn't know. What happened?" Ji Lian hugged Ji He, and they looked at each other and cried.

Chu Liu paid hush money to all the onlookers of the incident, but Chu Liu had not discussed the matter with Ji He in advance.

Ji He didn't look up at Chu Liu, but just shook his head with tears in his eyes. He couldn't lie, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

Ji Lian thought Ji He didn't know either. After all, Chu Liu had told her before that Ji He was kidnapped while walking on the road, so maybe he really didn't know where his mother was.

Ji Lian had some wild thoughts in her mind. After all, both she and Ji He's mother were very pretty. They might be spotted by some shameless human dignitary and abducted in the chaos.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you keep living, one day we will meet again," Ji Lian comforted.

Unexpectedly, after hearing what Ji Lian said, Ji He's tears flowed even more violently. He bit his lips and covered his face, as if to hide something.

"Cousin, I know you've been wronged," Ji Lian held Ji He in her arms. She obviously had no suspicions and was still optimistic. She patted Ji He on the back and scolded him, "You were still a minor at that time. They were so cruel that they didn't even let a little O like you go..."

Su Liu taught her "if you can't beat someone, just scold them", and Ji Lian learned it very quickly.

Ji He leaned on Ji Lian, and it seemed that Ji Lian's cursing made him feel at ease. He fell asleep while crying.

In the end, Chu Liu carried Ji He on his back.

Ji Lian followed behind with Ji He's small package.

"Take him back to the west building first," Su Liu asked Ji Lian and Chu Liu to take Ji He back first. He had something else to do and had to go to the medical station.

Along the way, Su Liu gained a wave of sympathy.

"Why is the Lord City Lord so tanned?"

"This is too hard. We must work harder to help the City Lord!"

Su Liu coughed awkwardly a few times. He couldn't explain his skin color. The effect of the gardenia water would take a few days to completely fade away, except for taking a bath.

Waited to the open space in front of the medical station.

Little Eulalia was dancing squares with some of her friends.

Liu Weizhen was like a referee off the field, rolling the dice for them.

Eulalia's facial features are more three-dimensional, not very similar to Lian Gufeng, but Lian Gufeng always covers most of his face with a dark purple gauze hat, so Su Liu is actually not very clear about Lian Gufeng's specific appearance.

However, Eulalia is very beautiful and you can tell at first glance that she is a beauty.

Her parents obviously have good genes.

Come to think of it, if she was ugly, even Gu Feng wouldn't be so easily fooled and would not hesitate to have a marriage of convenience with such a person.

"Lord City Lord!" Eulalia ran over and hugged Su Liu, raised her head and said coquettishly with a smile, "Why did you go out for so long this time and only come to see me now?"

Eulalia had grown a little taller and was almost reaching Su Liu's waist.

Su Liu said tentatively: "Little girl, I've been here for so long, why haven't I heard you talk about your mother or father?"

"I have no father or mother," Eulalia's smile was always so healing, as if she was just answering a very ordinary question.

She didn't know that what she said would make the adults feel so pitiful.

Especially when she says it with a smile.

Especially pitiful.

"How could that be?" Su Liu gently smoothed the messy hair on her cheek that was soaked with sweat.

"That's right," Eulalia let go of Su Liu's hand, coughed into the corner of her mouth like a little adult, and then played three roles and started a drama.

Eulalia first walked while squatting, then walked to a corner, raised her head and asked the air: "Are you my father or my mother?"

Then Eulalia stood up and walked to the corner. She held something in one hand and stroked her temples with the other (Su Liu guessed that she was stroking her glasses). Then she raised her eyebrows and glanced down, "Little thing, I'm not your father, nor your mother."

Eulalia then squatted down and walked. She walked to another corner, stretched out her hand to pull the air in front of her eyes, then raised her head and asked again: "Are you my father or my mother?"

Then Eulalia played another person.

The man must have had his back to Eulalia at first, playing chess for his own amusement. Eulalia's previous actions had obviously caught his attention. He put down the chess piece and looked at Eulalia, with a slight curl of his lips, and said mischievously, "Little darling, what should I do? I'm not either."

The performance ends here.

Eulalia even lifted her skirt as a gesture of farewell.

She made all the kids playing with her laugh out loud.

Su Liu couldn't laugh.

If you give birth to a child but don't raise it, you must have it in the first place.

These two Alphas are so annoying.

He knew it would be like this. A family without a mother, unless someone is willing to sacrifice himself and be both a father and a mother, will only breed childish people like Eulalia's fathers who are unwilling to take responsibility and even enjoy making fun of their daughters!

Not dad, not mom?

If you don’t admit it, does that mean it’s not true?

Do you even want to shirk your responsibilities as a father?

"Then what do you usually call them?" Su Liu said with a wry smile.

"Brother!" Little Eulalia said happily, "Call me brother!"

What a psycho! You've already given birth to a daughter and you still think you haven't grown up?

They even let their daughter call them brother, what a sick person! She dares to call them, and they dare to respond?

I am speechless.

Su Liu really wanted to curse. If she didn't do it herself, it would be too embarrassing. Su Liu wanted to follow Cuicui, rush in and kick each of them hard.

"You guys play," Su Liu took a long breath to avoid swearing in front of the children, "I have something else to do."

Su Liu forced a smile, waved goodbye to Eulalia and the others, and quickly walked into the medical station.

It was really difficult for him to endure it. Perhaps it was the experience of being betrayed by his parents in his childhood that made him unable to tolerate all kinds of irresponsible parents. He pinched Qi Fengling and finally regained control of his expression.

Qi Fengling lifted his sleeves and showed Su Liu the faint red mark on his arm.

"...I'm sorry," Su Liu apologized sincerely. After all, he did not hold back since he could leave a mark on the arm of the Ancestral Vampire.

Qi Fengling whispered, "Can I use this to exchange for a kiss?"

At this time, Xun Ruozhang, Luyao and Sutao came towards them. Su Liu quickly said, "Let's talk about it tonight."

He walked up to Xun Ruozhang and started chatting with him.

"Let Ji He live in the west building. I have other things I need him to do. By the way, how is Dr. Lin Miao's experiment? Where is he now?" Su Liu quickly adjusted his mentality and became the city lord who was in charge of the situation again.

"The experiment is still in the trial stage and is not progressing smoothly. Dr. Lin is having lunch in the lounge upstairs right now," Xun Ruozhang answered quickly.

When Su Liu nodded and was about to go upstairs, Lu Yao suddenly grabbed him.

"What's wrong?" Su Liu stopped.

"The doctor coming from the Duke's side is very skilled. Can I..." Lu Yao said hesitantly, and looked at Xun Ruozhang embarrassedly.

"What do you mean?" Su Liu also looked at Xun Ruozhang.

Xun Ruozhang sighed and said with a bit of embarrassment, "Maybe I'm prejudiced against people from the Duke's Manor. When Cheng Qin first came, I wasn't very confident in him. Those doctors looked like the kind who would only do things for money, so I didn't agree to let them join Spark City."

Luyao lowered her head in disappointment.

"Are the doctors in our Spark City worse than theirs?" Su Liu looked at Su Tao. It was obvious that Lu Yao had asked for medical treatment for him.

Sutao whispered "It's okay" and came over to pull Luyao.

After more than a month of treatment, Su Tao's injury was almost healed.

But Luyao was obviously not satisfied.

Xun Ruozhang hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke, saying pertinently, "Every profession has its specialties. The doctors here are more adept at treating injuries and common ailments, but they're certainly not as good as those who specialize in conditioning blood slaves and treating...that kind of injury..."

There were some things that Xun Ruozhang, still an unmarried girl, really couldn't say.

Su Liu understood, "Then let them in."

When Li An drove them away, he must have shown them the way, otherwise they would not have gone straight to the Spark City.

Among the doctors in this world, there are saints who save the world and ordinary people who make a living.

Those people should not be bad people. Besides, Spark City is about to materialize. One day, the people in the city will not be as kind and beautiful as they are now, without a trace of distractions.

"Yes," Xun Ruozhang did not feel embarrassed about being rejected in public. As the head of the logistics department, she was just performing her duties. Even if she occasionally disagreed with the city lord, it was not a big deal. Moreover, the city lord only suggested letting those people in after she gave in, which was already giving her enough respect.

Luyao's eyes lit up.

After Xun Ruozhang left, Su Liu said to Lu Yao, "You are also a minister, why are you so weak in front of Xun Ruozhang?"

"...It's different. I don't care about people's affairs, so how can I interfere casually?" Luyao is a sensible girl.

"Keep it up," Su Liu laughed.

Do your job well. Luyao always says that she has not received much education, but she is very talented.

After saying goodbye to Luyao and Sutao, Su Liu finally stepped onto the stairs and went upstairs to find Lin Miao.

It was a bit late for dinner, so Lin Miao had a midnight snack box.

Next to the raspberry yogurt are salted peanuts.

Lin Miao stood by the window, looking at the scenery while peeling peanuts.

"Come in?" Seeing Su Liu knocking on the door and coming in, Lin Miao invited Su Liu coldly.

If I didn't know that Lin Miao looked so dead, I would have thought that he was unwilling to share even a few peanuts.

"No," Su Liu was not hungry after dinner, so she waved her hand to refuse.

"You finally remembered to ask me?" Lin Miao chewed peanuts and reached out to scoop a spoonful of yogurt.

As a former employee of "Dawn of Tomorrow", Lin Miao knows a lot of secrets.

Lin Miao had deliberately revealed the vampire's habits to Xun Ruozhang and the others.

Su Liu coughed and said, "It's not a big deal. I want to know if Zhao Jing is a researcher under you."

"We've worked together for a while, but he's not my researcher. He has his own independent project. It's just that he's a coward, and his stance is always wavering. The organization doesn't really want to use him." Lin Miao's tone always carries a kind of indifference that comes from seeing through life and death.

"What is he researching?" Su Liu asked.

"He is a human data analyst. Guess what he is studying?" Lin Miao laughed, and even his smile was a little cold.

"......" No wonder Zhao Jing wanted to stay in the manor and refused to leave. Data analysts naturally prefer to collect different samples and extract the essence from big data, rather than sticking to a small sample event and analyzing it over and over again.

I hope those two Alphas can be more powerful.

Don't let Zhao Jing get bored.
