Chapter 159: Defective Test Products
In the corridor, seeing Si Xu and Shen Bai coming out together, Gu Yunqing, who was squatting in the corner of the door, stood up silently and found an excuse to slip away.
After Gu Yunqing came downstairs, Chen Bai took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, shook out a cigarette and handed it to Si Xu.
Si Xu glanced at it but didn't reach out to take it: "I've quit."
"Quitted?" Chen Bai was surprised. This guy used to smoke all the time, so he just quit like that?
"Jiang Ran doesn't like it." Si Xu felt that he had sufficient reasons to quit smoking and didn't understand why this person was so surprised.
"She said smoking is bad for your health and can easily lead to lung cancer."
Chen Bai had the cigarette in his mouth, but when he heard this, his hand that was holding the lighter shook and the lighter went out.
Si Xu stared at him.
Chen Bai lit the cigarette in his mouth very calmly: "Si Xu, what do you want to talk to me about?" Si Xu came to him, most likely because of Chen Youyou's matter.
"I remember I warned you not to have too high expectations for that defective product." Si Xu went straight to the point. "After so long, it seems like you've forgotten my warning."
It would be fine if he just had unrealistic fantasies, but he also dragged Jiang Ran into it.
"Si Xu, you can refuse." Not angry at the man's blunt words, Chen Bai exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at Si Xu in the hazy smoke, "If you refuse, Ran Ran will listen to you."
If you don't like it, just reject it.
Si Xu laughed coldly: "Chen Bai, don't try to be so petty in front of me - didn't you bring A117 here because you calculated that you could succeed?"
Si Xu was a man who always spoke directly, leaving no room for others to retreat. Chen Bai smiled bitterly: "You have thought it through so clearly, why ask me again?"
Indeed, he brought Chen Youyou here because he calculated that Jiang Ran would not refuse, and he also calculated that Si Xu would listen to Jiang Ran's opinion.
He was worried about leaving Shen Youyou at the Shen family, and even more worried about leaving her with Shen Yang. After thinking about it, he could only think of Jiang Ran.
No matter if it was Jiang Ran or Si Xu, as long as they were there, they would always be able to keep Shen Youyou safe before he came back.
"Si Xu, you thought it through so clearly, why did you agree?"
"It wasn't me who agreed to it, it was Jiang Ran."
Shen Bai smiled: "You know what I mean - it's not like you to beat around the bush like this."
Si Xu waved away the secondhand smoke that drifted in front of him and said calmly, "The base has been in turmoil lately. I can't stay by Jiang Ran's side all the time. I feel much more at ease with A117 by her side."
Chen Bai scolded: "You are such a scheming person, Si Xu." He had sent him a free bodyguard, but he acted as if he had been wronged and even chatted with him privately, pretending to be a scheming dog.
In response to Chen Bai's accusation, Si Xu only replied with two words: "Hehe."
Of course, he didn't call him out just to give him a lecture.
"Have you been to the sanatorium?" Si Xu leaned against the wall and asked Chen Bai, "I heard from Gu Yunqing that Chen Lang went to the sanatorium."
"Wei Yage is awake." Shen Bai, who didn't like the female captain, said simply, "I just came out from inside. When I left, the old man was still chatting with her."
You both are obviously full of resentment towards each other, but you have to put on a smiling face when you meet. Isn't that tiring?
"Oh, still chatting?"
Jiang Ran killed Zou Yun, but Chen Lang did nothing at the base. Wei Yage might not vent her anger on Chen Lang.
Now the news about the two people plotting against Chu Yuan is spreading all over the base, and it is quite interesting that Chen Lang still doesn't know how to avoid suspicion.
"What did they talk about?"
Oh, this is exactly why he wanted to chat with him privately. Chen Bai flicked the ash off his cigarette and said frankly: "It's just a greeting. I think they will talk about business after I leave."
Si Xu showed a disappointed expression: "Is that so." He was going to go back to talk to Jiang Ran about raising a child, "You can leave now."
Shen Bai followed behind him: "I still have something to tell Youyou."
Before he could finish, Si Xu closed the door and said, "Goodbye."
Chen Bai, who was locked outside the door: "..."
…
After Si Xu and Shen Bai left, Jiang Ran and Shen Youyou stood there, staring at each other.
The little girl still has her hair in a cute bun today, and she looks fair and tender, harmless to humans and animals.
It is really hard to imagine that this little girl almost broke the leg of Gu Yunqing, a grown man.
His stomach growled, and Jiang Ran remembered the breakfast in progress.
The little girl opposite heard the voice and blinked at her with her big dark eyes.
Being stared at by the little girl like that, Jiang Ran felt embarrassed to eat alone.
She pulled out a chair and asked her to sit down on it. Shen Youyou obediently walked to the chair and sat down, waiting for her next instructions.
"Again, have you had breakfast?"
Shen Youyou looked at the crystal clear dumplings in front of her, licked her lips, and was very greedy, but still nodded honestly to indicate that she had eaten.
Jiang Ran thought her current look of wide-eyed and drooling was too soft and cute, so she coaxed her gently: "I made these dumplings myself, do you want to try them?"
Shen Youyou's fair and tender face showed an expectant expression and she nodded vigorously.
Jiang Ran went to the kitchen and picked up a plate of steamed dumplings for her. He personally mixed the sauce and placed it in front of her: "Dumplings taste better when dipped in sauce."
Having her own dumplings, Shen Youyou ignored the chopsticks placed aside, raised her hand to grab a dumpling and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Hmm..." The little girl's eyes curved, and a satisfied smile poured out from inside.
Forgot how to use chopsticks again? Jiang Ran waited for her to finish one dumpling. When she reached for the second one, he held her wrist and said, "Youyou."
The little girl looked at her, waiting for her order.
Jiang Ran picked up the chopsticks and handed them to her: "You have to use chopsticks to eat - I taught you last time, do you remember how to use them?"
Shen Youyou held the chopsticks between two fingers, bewildered.
It seems I forgot.
I guess after they separated last time, no one insisted on her eating with chopsticks, so the child went back to eating with her hands.
"This is how you hold chopsticks..."
After patiently repeating what he had taught her last time, Jiang Ran watched her clumsily pick up a dumpling, tremblingly bring it to her mouth, but it dropped onto the table halfway... The little girl blinked her eyes, and quickly grabbed the dumpling on the table with her free left hand and fed it to her mouth.
She chewed the dumplings carefully, her cheeks puffed up, and looked at Jiang Ran with big eyes like a hamster, blinking from time to time.
It’s really super cute!
Jiang Ran suppressed the curve of his lips and corrected her strength and angle: "Like this...yes, separate like this, um, try again."
After repeating it several times, Shen Youyou successfully picked up a dumpling.
"Oh, you learned it so quickly, Youyou is amazing~" Jiang Ran applauded her as a reward.
The corners of the little girl's mouth twitched slightly, forming a not-so-obvious arc, indicating that she was smiling.
She handed the dumplings to Jiang Ran's mouth.
A little surprised, Jiang Ran didn't hesitate and opened her mouth to eat: "Thank you, Youyou." She touched the little girl's bun with a gentle gesture.
Si Xu happened to see this scene when he came in.
Looking at Jiang Ran with a silly smile on her face and A117 with an expressionless face, he suddenly began to doubt whether his decision was right or wrong.
She actually showed such a happy expression. It seems that Jiang Ran likes A117 very much?
The man pursed his lips, staring at the soft and cute little bun with sharp eyes: It's just a defective test product, what's there to like about it?
