Chapter 243, News about Chu Yuan
She still had the guts to ask him what he was angry about? Huo Sichan was so angry that he laughed. He didn't bother to pay attention to her and opened the book at hand again.
He ignored her, and Huo Lingge simply sat down opposite the desk.
She held her chin with both hands, and in her blurred vision she could see the familiar outline of the other person - oh, if only she could see with her eyes, without relying on supernatural powers, she could clearly see his face, and read his expression when he spoke...
Her biggest regret now was that she couldn't look into his eyes clearly.
She thought that a gentle man like him must have a pair of eyes as clear as a quiet spring or a cold stream.
Unfortunately, she can't see it.
The girl stared at him for a long time without looking away, which made Huo Sichan lose his temper.
He clenched the pages of the book, glanced at the girl, and said coldly: "I still have some business to attend to. You go out first."
Huo Lingge didn't care: "I won't talk and won't disturb you."
She refused to leave.
This girl tore off the mask of disguise and revealed her inner scoundrel!
Huo Sichan frowned and said, "The base's affairs are not suitable for outsiders to know."
"I'm not an outsider, I'm your sister."
Huo Lingge spoke in an indulgent tone, as if he was the one who was making trouble unreasonably.
Huo Sichan was annoyed with her, but he couldn't say anything harsh.
He lowered his eyes again, hesitating whether to let Uncle Ning come in and ask the man to leave.
"Huo Sichan." The girl knew when to stop. She fiddled with the green plants on the table and kept asking, "Why are you angry with me?"
Are you still struggling with this question? Huo Sichan was silent for a moment, then looked up at her: "Lingge, let me ask you, why did you knock me out last night?"
"Didn't I tell you? To protect you." Her answer sounded justified. "I told you I would protect you."
Before he could finish, Huo Sichan slammed the book in his hand heavily on the table.
He rarely gets angry. Ever since she knew him, no matter what happened, he always spoke softly and remained calm even when faced with a crisis.
He was really angry, and Huo Lingge immediately became obedient.
She lowered her head and said in a bitter voice: "Brother, don't be angry."
It's not that she didn't know why he was angry. She deliberately asked him this question in a roundabout way just to tell him how she felt.
Huo Sichan's eyes were icy, but inside they held more than just anger, but rather a sigh of helplessness and disappointment. "Lingge, do you think I'd be happy if I survived under your protection?"
Huo Lingge was silent: You won’t, but my wish is just that you can survive, it’s that simple.
Huo Sichan sneered, "I'm the eldest son of the Huo family and the person in charge of the Beichen base. I would never trust my life to anyone else. Lingge, even if you really gave your life for me last night, I wouldn't be grateful to you."
This sounded really hurtful! Huo Lingge complained in his heart, his expression still stubborn: "I don't need you to be grateful to me - Huo Sichan, I am an independent person. Everything I do is just out of my own heart and in accordance with my own heart - isn't this what you gave me?"
Huo Sichan heard her rebuttal and tightened his grip on the book: "Okay, she's making a lot of sense, but she doesn't understand his intentions at all..."
He was so angry that he didn't want to pay attention to her: "Get out."
Huo Lingge curled his lips: "Then I'm going out."
She also became angry and pushed the medicine bowl in front of him: "Remember to take the medicine."
She stood up to leave.
Behind her, the young man looked at the medicine bowl on the table and didn't call her name: "I hope you can learn to use your awakened superpowers to protect yourself."
The little girl suffered a lot and finally awakened her special powers, and had a foothold in this doomsday. He didn't want her to be trapped by the past, and he didn't want her to stop moving forward for him.
Protect yourself? Huo Lingge smiled silently.
She was struggling on the brink of life and death, and only he grabbed her hand for help. When he held her hand, she no longer had herself in her life.
The girl habitually closed the study door for him. At the last moment when the study door closed, she finally tore open the siege wrapped around her heart and said in a bitter voice: "Huo Sichan, I like you. I have liked you for a long, long time and I will always like you in the future."
——So, even if you ask me to, I won’t change my mind.
Those few words were like a heavy hammer hitting the man's heart.
Huo Sichan stared blankly at the closed door, a look of astonishment appearing on his handsome face, but his fair ears began to heat up uncontrollably.
What nonsense is that little girl talking about?
Like? How could she like him! He was her brother!
…
After walking a distance with Pei Xiao, Jiang Ran saw the lighthouse in the distance.
That lighthouse is a landmark building in Beichen City. Before the end of the world, Jiang Ranran and Xie Chengzhi came here to travel and check in.
However, Jiang Ran noticed the lantern tower not because of its unique architectural style or the historical culture it contained... She vaguely saw a blurry figure on the lantern tower.
"That lighthouse..." She pointed to the lighthouse in the distance. "What is it used for now? Is it open to the public?"
"That?" Pei Xiao glanced at it. "I remember it was sealed off after the apocalypse. It's now the base for the Ability Team's observers."
The observer's station? Oh, from that height, the entire Beichen base should be visible.
Since this was the base of the Special Ability Team, Jiang Ran no longer worried about the figure he saw: "Captain Pei, are you looking for me because of Captain Chu Yuan?"
When Chu Yuan left with Pei Xiao, she asked Pei Xiao to take good care of him.
After all, among the people she knew, no one knew the Dongchao Base better than Pei Xiao.
Pei Xiao nodded and said, "I hadn't expected to see you here. I was thinking of stopping by Xiling once the trouble at Beichen Base was resolved."
Jiang Ran joked: "That means we are quite destined to meet each other - meeting is fate."
Pei Xiao glanced at her and chuckled. His tone was not as deep as usual, revealing a bit of youthfulness: "Well, it's quite fate."
Not noticing the change in the young man's tone, Jiang Ran asked, "Did Captain Chu find any useful information at the Dongchao base?"
"As for Si Nian you mentioned, there's no record of her anywhere in the Dongchao base, including the Dongchao laboratory. However, after Chu Yuan looked through the Dongchao laboratory's previous entry and exit records, he discovered something very interesting."
"What's up?"
"Professor Jiang, your father, used to come to the Dongchao Laboratory every month for exchanges and learning."
"Huh?" Jiang Ran was surprised. "My father used to come to the Dongchao laboratory often?"
"Yes," Pei Xiao said. "There are also meeting records on the content of the discussion. It seems that they were discussing the specific experimental results on the virus's effect on treating heart failure."
"Treat heart failure?" Jiang Ran asked, "I remember that the first time the various laboratories studied viruses was for medical purposes."
"yes."
But, isn’t it too frequent to visit Dongchao Laboratory every month?
Jiang Ran put this question aside for the moment: "No news about Si Nian?"
Pei Xiao regretfully said, "Not yet."
Jiang Ran didn't find it strange.
If Huo Zhiju is really Si Xu's biological mother, it means that Huo Zhiju has let down Si Nian's brother. If she were Si Nian, she would also avoid the Dongchao Laboratory dominated by the Pei family.
Jiang Yize asked Shen Muxin to take the virus information to Dongchao City to find Si Nian - she thought Si Nian was also a staff member studying viruses. Now think about it, maybe Si Nian has not joined any laboratory at all.
