Chapter 54 This is my fiancée
Chu Yuan, with his harmless baby face and ruthless methods, almost no one in the entire base dares to mess with him - except for Si Xu, he is the most hated guy in the base.
Unfortunately, those who hated him couldn't beat him and could only watch him continue to be arrogant in the base.
However, those in the Ability Team respected him very much because the captain of the first brigade was very protective of his people.
Just like now, after yelling at the psychic on duty, he looked directly at the group of people who had just been arguing. The man pressed his tongue against the lollipop and changed the side, his baby face expressionless.
"I'm asking you a question. What are you arguing about?" He put one hand in his pocket, standing slouched, like a dozing cat. "Didn't anyone teach you the rules of this base? Don't you know that you're not allowed to make noise after curfew?"
"Sir, we just arrived at the base today, so we're not very familiar with the situation." Knowing that large bases like this are always in need of talented individuals, Big Yellow Teeth apologized with a smile, "I'm so sorry to bother you. We won't bother you anymore, don't worry."
Not sure if he took Da Huangya's words to heart, Chu Yuan sauntered towards the office. "Since there's nothing going on, what are you guys still doing here?"
"They haven't come to pick us up yet." The psychic reported the situation in a low voice.
Just as he finished speaking, a patrol car approached - the staff who came to pick up the newcomers had arrived.
Glancing at the patrol car, Chu Yuan walked towards the office.
…
A powerful-looking man appeared. Worried that the other party would kick her out of the base for instigating "crime", she prayed that she would take advantage of the dark night and strong wind to carefully kick the glass bottle still at her feet into the snow.
She was so focused on destroying the evidence that she didn't notice the staff who came to pick them up had arrived. It was not until someone shouted, "Qi Yuan! Let's go!" that she remembered that she couldn't be left behind.
…
Qiyuan, let’s go!
A loud shout came from the crowd, forcing Chu Yuan, who was walking to the office door, to stop.
Did he hear correctly? Or was he hallucinating because he was always thinking about that incident?
The man crushed his lollipop and turned to look at the group of newcomers who were about to leave.
"etc."
He called out to the group of people and saw them all turning around like frightened birds. He licked his back teeth expressionlessly and scanned the crowd with his eyes.
"Qi Yuan...who is it?"
…
Finally I can leave.
Qi Yuan yawned and was happy that he could go to sleep when he heard the man who looked like an old man speak again.
She was forced to stop and, like her companions, lowered her head and waited for a lecture - leaders are all big bosses, and big bosses have a lot of things to do, and you can't express your dissatisfaction with them, otherwise they will bring you into trouble in the blink of an eye.
I’m so sleepy. I really want to sleep.
She yawned again and raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She felt so sleepy that she could automatically block out the leader's lecture.
She wanted to block it out, but the people around her suddenly stared at her in tacit understanding, and the strange looks scared away all her sleepiness.
Qi Yuan: "..."
She blinked in confusion, her mind automatically recalling what the leader said that made everyone look at her like that.
"Qi Yuan...who is it?"
He seemed to ask this question.
Qi Yuan was even more bewildered: Was this man asking her? Did he know her? Had she finally gotten her chance to curry favor with her boss?
…
After he asked the question, the pedestrian's reaction told him the answer.
Chu Yuan's gaze was fixed on the girl who lowered her head and remained silent. He was filled with mixed emotions and was speechless for a moment.
Was she Qi Yuan? How could such a prestigious family as the Qi family be so vulnerable in the face of disaster? Since she was alone here, blending in with the fleeing crowd, did this mean that the rest of the Qi family had perished?
That's really...
The man licked his back teeth again and gave a sinister smile.
That's really satisfying.
But...was this girl really the Qi Yuan he knew? Qi Yuan, the second daughter of the Fengyang Qi family?
Chu Yuan didn't say anything. In the snowy night, his skinny arms were raised tremblingly, and a voice softer than the wind answered his question.
"I'm Qi Yuan."
Chu Yuan: "..."
The voice was thin and soft, very different from the loud and cheerful voice in my memory.
Chu Yuan hooked his finger and said in a gangster-like manner: "Are you Qi Yuan? Come out, let me see you."
The thin little girl came out reluctantly - just one step further than those people - she still kept her head down, looking very well-behaved.
"Look up." Chu Yuan said impatiently, "How can you look at it with your head down? Or do you think your crown is more beautiful than your face?"
The girl raised her head, her cheeks puffed up, and she looked a little annoyed.
When Chu Yuan saw the skinny little face with sunken cheeks, his tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed.
It's her.
She was still alive and came to his side alive.
But what's with that confused look? Chu Yuan frowned and bared his teeth at the little girl: "Qi Yuan, you finally got to meet your fiancé, why don't you even say hello?"
…
Fiancé?
Everyone present gasped. Shu Yue was even more excited than Qi Yuan and blurted out, "Are you Qi Yuan's fiancé?!"
This woman's voice is really unpleasant, and she's screaming so loudly, it's so noisy! Chu Yuan glanced at her coldly: "None of your business." He looked at the stagnant staff, "Why don't you take the person away and wait for me to send you away?!"
"Yes, Captain Chu!" The staff who had been watching the show silently immediately rushed over like herding sheep, shouting "Don't fall behind", and took the newcomers to report to the administrative hall.
"You," seeing the little girl slip away in the crowd, Chu Yuan refused to let her do so, "Wait."
The girl quickened her pace and was about to climb into the car to pick her up.
"I told you to wait." Chu Yuan came to the girl's side, grabbed her collar like a chicken, and pulled her out of the crowd. "Why are you running, Qi Yuan?"
The little girl kicked desperately, but when she realized she couldn't break free, she turned around and looked at him, tears welling up in her eyes. "Captain Chu," she heard the person on duty call him that. "I just handed him a glass bottle. I didn't do anything, really!"
"What glass bottle?"
"That guy was the first to do that, so I threw the glass bottle at him." Qi Yuan said aggrievedly, "Please let me go, I really didn't mean it!"
"Oh, I see." Chu Yuan responded with a smile and said to the driver, "Drive, I'll keep this girl."
"Hey, Captain Chu, please do whatever you want, please do whatever you want~" After everyone was seated, the driver stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
"Hey!" Qi Yuan Erkang held his hand, "Stop!"
When the car disappeared, Chu Yuan let go of Qi Yuan and clapped his hands: "Stop shouting, the people in the car can't hear you."
Qi Yuan immediately withdrew his hand and stood still: "Captain Chu, what else do you want?"
"What's the matter?" Chu Yuan narrowed his eyes and smiled maliciously. "Look, you and I are engaged and finally meet each other. Now is the perfect time. Let's get together. What do you think?"
What do I think? I don’t think so! Qi Yuan wanted to spit at him: “Captain Chu, you’ve got the wrong person. I’m not your fiancée.”
"No?" The man raised his eyebrows. "Qi Yuan, are you denying your relationship after sleeping with me?"
"I didn't sleep with you! I don't even know you!" Qi Yuan was so irritated that his fur exploded. "You pervert! I don't have a fiancé at all!"
"Huh?" The little girl's eyes were red with anger. She didn't look like she was lying. Chu Yuan stopped joking and asked, "You don't remember me?"
It’s not that I don’t know you, but that I don’t remember you.
Qi Yuan was speechless for a moment: This person was so natural, could it be that I really knew him?
Chu Yuan asked again: "You really don't remember me?"
Qi Yuan: "..." After hesitating for a moment, he reluctantly admitted, "Four years ago, I was in a car accident. I have lost all my memories before the accident - but!"
"Hmm?" Four years ago? A car accident? Before or after he left Fengyang? Was it a coincidence? Or was it intentional? Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and he asked absentmindedly, "But what?"
"If you are really my fiancé, why have Mom and Dad never mentioned you in front of me?" Qi Yuan glared at her, "In the four years that I can remember, you have never appeared in front of me!"
"Oh, because we broke off our engagement four years ago." Chu Yuan answered as a matter of course.
Looking at that innocent baby face, Qi Yuan wanted to take off his shoes and slap him in the face.
"Then you just..."
"Qi Yuan, we truly love each other." Chu Yuan placed one hand on the girl's head and leaned close to her, his warm breath falling on her ear. "We truly love each other, but after my family fell into poverty, your father forced you to break off our engagement. For some reason, I was forced to leave Fengyang City. You know, after the disaster, I was really worried about you..."
The man spoke seriously, his eyes, darker than the night, were filled with her shadow, making her feel as if she was the only one in his eyes and heart.
The temperature on his cheeks rose uncontrollably, and Qi Yuan stammered, "If that's really the case, why...why don't I remember you at all?"
"You really don't remember me at all?" After confirming that the little girl was not lying, Chu Yuan stood up straight and chuckled softly, "I lied to you."
Qi Yuan blushed: "Ah?"
"I lied to you about what I said just now." Chu Yuan smiled maliciously, "You didn't really believe it, did you?"
Qi Yuan: "..."
Seeing her silly face, Chu Yuan laughed even louder.
As he was laughing, a glass bottle flew towards him and hit him on the shoulder with a bang.
It was a slight pain.
Not knowing where the girl got the beer bottle from, Chu Yuan didn't continue teasing her to avoid scaring people away.
He stopped laughing, put one hand in his pocket and walked towards the angry girl: "Let's go."
As he approached, Qi Yuan raised another glass bottle - this was the one she had prepared just now to beat up that guy with yellow teeth. She had thought it would be useless, but now it was worth it to use it to beat up the pervert.
"What are you doing?" Chu Yuan walked past her lightly. "Let's go. Are you standing here and turning into an ice sculpture?"
Qi Yuan said angrily, "Where are you going?"
Chu Yuan said as a matter of course: "Let's go to my house." He looked at her sideways, "Do you want to stay here overnight?"
As Chu Yuan spoke, he glanced at the two people who were peeking at the door. The two people quickly retreated and slammed the door shut.
Qi Yuan: "..."
The car left, they locked the door, and she spent the night here? Where? In the snow?!
"Are you leaving?" Chu Yuan, very satisfied with his subordinate's tact, walked up to Qi Yuan and ignored her threatening look. "Since you're homeless, I can take you in for a night—oh, remember to throw away the bottle in your hand."
Qi Yuan was flexible and said, "Thank you, Captain Chu, for taking me in." But he didn't throw the bottle away obediently.
"If I really do something to you, do you think this glass bottle can protect you?"
Chu Yuan snorted sarcastically, but did not force her to throw away the bottle.
He took two steps forward, turned around and looked at her impatiently: "Qi Yuan, are you leaving or not?"
"..." The girl reluctantly put the bottle back into the corner and trotted a few steps to follow the young man.
…
Gu Yunqing and Su Qin's convoy brought back more than a dozen trucks of supplies, including three trucks of crop seeds and two trucks of scarce medical supplies at the base, temporarily solving the problem of material shortages at the base.
With Si Xu's return, Chen Lang issued a meeting notice to the leaders and senior management of each special ability team, and the meeting time was set at 10 am.
Shen Lang is the head of the base, and the two young masters also hold important positions in the superpower team. The Shen family is now in its heyday and no one dares to underestimate it.
Oh, except Professor Si in the lab.
The minute hand of the wall clock in the conference room pointed to the bottom "6". Half an hour had passed since the meeting started when Professor Si finally arrived.
The young man changed into a white lab coat and even pinned the silver badge with his work number "0007" meticulously on his chest. However, ever since he came in, his every move gave people a sense of absent-mindedness and perfunctoriness.
Si Xu sat down in his usual seat, and then Chen Lang announced the start of the meeting with a cold face.
First, the people from the Military Control Building and the Infrastructure Department gave detailed reports on their recent work, and then the captains of the five special-ability teams reported on their recent missions...
During the long process, Gu Yunqing noticed that Si Xu yawned a total of thirteen times.
The man twirled the pen in his hand idly, his eyes falling on the teacup on his right. He didn't know what he was thinking about, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Aqin." Gu Yunqing poked Suqin's arm with a pen and whispered to her, "Sixu is in a good mood today."
Su Qin agreed: "I think so too."
Gu Yunqing made a reasonable guess: "Didn't Ranran climb onto his balcony last night? He's late again today. It must have been too intense last night..."
"You idiot!" Su Qin twisted his arm. "What's going on in your head? Do you think Seventh Brother is the same as you?"
"What's wrong with me?!" Gu Yunqing was unconvinced. "How is Brother Qi different from me? Isn't he also a normal man?" He earnestly taught his girlfriend, "Aqin, I'm telling you, don't think of Brother Qi as too abstinent. He's a carnivore at first glance~"
He looks abstinent, but that's just his personality. He didn't show it before because he hasn't met a girl he likes.
"Let's make a bet." Gu Yunqing said with a chuckle, "Si Xu definitely ate Ranran up last night."
Su Qin rolled her eyes: "Anyone who wants to make such a bet with you must be crazy."
“…”
Finally, after Wei Ya Ge, the captain of the Sixth Division of the Special Ability Team, finished his report, Shen Lang closed the information in his hand, looked at Si Xu, and asked symbolically: "Professor Si, do you have anything to say?"
The pen spinning on his fingertips suddenly stopped. Si Xu said "hmm" and gently placed the pen on the table.
He clasped his hands together and placed them on the thick documents. He looked at Shen Lang with his peach blossom eyes, his emotions unpredictable, and asked a question slowly: "How did Jiang Yize die?"
