Chapter 239: Small Meeting (Part 4)
"Eamon." Shi Cunjin reminded him, closed his eyes, and controlled his nerve tentacles to cut off, so as not to be deeply infected by Valentine's uncontrolled excitement. He slowly stretched out his hand to press the wrist of the adjutant Eamon, signaling Eamon to stop the action of removing Jane Ning's arm, and said, "One wrist is enough."
"Excuse me," Fran Janning said immediately, loosening his white tie.
In the blink of an eye, excuses for making peace naturally came up like breathing. The young head of the Jane Ning family said with full of apology: "The main star of the Eastern District of the Alliance is the most socially active area. Lord Sariel's temperament and appearance made me feel like I was meeting an old friend from the Eastern District. I apologize for my subconscious mumbling. Please let me continue to fulfill my responsibilities on this trip."
Fran Janning held Valentine firmly in one hand.
The system made two mechanical sounds: [Oh, what a slippery apology, using the excuse that I have met your distant blood relative to attack Sariel who is rumored to have lost his parents at a young age, who can provoke the Capital Alliance Zerg Clan to talk nonsense? ]
At this moment, the special hormones pumped out by emotional excitement made Valentine dizzy.
Valentine was struggling in Fran Jennings' arms, his left hand being held firmly by Jennings because one of his hands was broken. Valentine was now waving his right hand wildly, sometimes hitting Jennings' shoulders, sometimes pushing Jennings' face with his backhand, and occasionally hitting Jennings' chin or face with his struggling fingers.
Valentine said vaguely: "Release...Release, don't bite...Desti...relatives...be afraid, don't be afraid..."
One blood relationship, two illusions, three neat apologies, I've said it all. Evans Eamon rolled his eyes at the black-clad Jane Ning, and he turned his head to look at Sariel. Shi Cunjin nodded, "Let go."
Evans Eamon released his claws. The next second, the young master of the Jane Ning family's hand bones, which were broken and hanging strangely, made a series of intensive "crackling" sounds of arthropod bones rubbing against each other.
The five fingers of the female insect's right hand had been broken to the point that only a layer of flesh remained connecting them. Suddenly, the five fingers twitched, bent, straightened, and recovered like the legs of a fast-crawling black spider.
Fran Janning activated his self-healing cells, and within two breaths, the bones in his right wrist were reshaped, and the twisted knuckles turned back into elegant black gloves. He grabbed Valentine's hands, and this time he used a little more force to separate Valentine from Lord Sariel.
"No, no..." Valentin felt the strength of his restraint grow stronger, and his eyeballs trembled uncontrollably as if his brain nerves were damaged. He suddenly opened his mouth wide, but the voice that came out was very small: "I don't... want to leave."
Valentine, in a trance, suddenly increased his strength and struggled in the opposite direction. Fran Janning instantly retracted 20% of his strength to prevent Valentine from cutting off his hands due to reckless force. He knelt on one knee behind Valentine, showing a dilemma for a while.
"Still here." Shi Cunjin said to Valentine. He didn't have time to care about his collar, so he just buttoned it up and put his hand on Valentine's shoulder, saying, "You haven't left yet. The meeting is not over yet, remember? The meeting is 60 minutes long, and we can still talk about the new developments in the Far East and Cat's Eye. Now..." "Three hours have passed since the meeting started." Evans Eamon said suddenly.
Evans Eamon half-knelt on one knee on the other side of Sariel, with one hand supporting his knee and the other hand stretched out beside Sariel, waiting for support, ready to be supported by Sariel to stand up.
When Valentin heard the key word of time, he suddenly arched his waist and straightened it, and his head hit him hard. Valentin said: "Still want to talk!"
Fran Janning couldn't dodge because of his poor posture control, and was hit hard on the chin by Valentine. The joint reaction of his jaw made his teeth bite with a crisp sound: click!
"..." Fran Jane looked up, her expression blank for a moment.
"...Thank you for your reminder. Sometimes you don't have to remind me so quickly." Shi Cunjin said politely to Adjutant Eamon.
System: [Sometimes I really want to set up a disability insurance for the medical security system of the Legion Zerg, and call it "Donate Your Mouth."]
Evans Eamonn shut up.
Shi Cunjin changed his shoulder gesture, held Valentine's face, and forcefully straightened his restless head.
"Hey, Valentine, Valentine, listen."
Shi Cunjin looked into the pair of nervous green eyes that kept shaking, his voice young and calm, "Don't worry, today is our first meeting, it's a very good, perfect meeting, we talked a lot about growth, it was a great chat, you are my first male insect friend, I will look for you a second time, a third time, countless times."
"...very good...looking for you...countlessly." Valentine murmured repeatedly.
"Countless times." Shi Cunjin said.
Valentine's struggle slowed down. "I want to...speak..."
Even though Valentine's pupils were dilated at the moment, Shi Cunjin looked at him seriously, "Well, for the countless conversations in the future. Calm down, get an injection, and get through this hormone out of control."
"Give me an injection." Valentin stopped struggling, his cheeks wet from crying and hot. He buried half of his face in Shi Cunjin's palm with difficulty, his hot face pressed against the cool white gloves. Valentin said vaguely, "...It feels cooler, good."
Shi Cunjin let out a breath slowly, and a strange feeling flashed through his mind. Shi Cunjin raised his eyes and saw the young head of the Jian Ning family looking at him quietly, and he didn't know how long he had been observing him.
Shi Cunjin did not show any abnormality. He spoke in a lukewarm tone, as if he were a stranger to a strange female insect: "Please contact the medical team on the surface."
Afterwards, Shi Cunjin stood up with the help of his adjutant Eamon's arm, picked up the overturned chair beside him, and buttoned his collar again.
Fran Janning lowered her eyelashes. "Don't worry too much. Before the meeting, Valentine and I had rehearsed all the possible situations, and we have prepared corresponding measures."
Fran Janet lifted Valentine up and stood up, then changed to a one-handed half-supporting posture. She used her free left hand to touch the pocket of Valentine's felt coat, pinched it with two fingers, and took out a thin, vintage carved gold cigarette case.
Fran Janine pinched and picked up the thin lid of the golden cigarette box, and inside was a transparent pocket-sized syringe in the shape of a cigarette.
"This is your special sedative." Fran Jane introduced briefly, "You rarely carry it with you, so Valentine brought it specially today."
"Is the effect sleepiness or semi-anesthesia?" Shi Cunjin asked concernedly.
"Normally he would be in a coma. But if Valentine falls into a coma, the heart rate monitor controlled by the Guardian team will show a coma prompt, and they will immediately fly up and take you away. After you completely lose consciousness, the Guardian team will have the priority to protect you and be exempted from violating multiple laws."
Fran Janning said: "Valentine considered a similar situation, and he told me that if I found such a situation, I should only inject half of it first, and he would be able to calm down quickly and continue the conversation."
Shi Cunjin didn't want to say more to Jian Ning in the persona of Sariel, so he just nodded and said, "Okay, half a bottle then. Let's move to the central hall to give him another injection. There is a couch for resting there."
…
Sky Garden, Central Hall.
Fran Janeen injected half a sedative into Valentine, who then lay on the couch completely still, his unfocused green eyes following the silver shadow standing beside him.
The out-of-focus pupils could only see a blur of light, but perhaps it was because the artificial light in the central hall was too bright, reflecting on Shi Cunjin's silver hair, making the silver glow obvious in the blur. No matter which direction Shi Cunjin stood, Valentine could look at him in confusion.
"The sedative didn't work?" Shi Cunjin was slightly surprised.
He tried to stand at the head of the couch where Valentine couldn't see him. Almost immediately, the powerless Valentine leaned his face against the pillow on the couch, trying to prop up his head, and then used his head to support his upper body and turn around to look for his shadow.
Fran Janeen, who was sitting on the side of the couch, looked worried and tried to help Valentine lie down again. Valentine simply rested his forehead on Fran's hands, silently and struggling to resist the hands that were trying to make him lie down.
Shi Cunjin had no choice but to take two steps back into Valentine's sight. Only then did Valentine stop crawling silently, staring silently at Yinhui's position with his completely out-of-focus green eyes.
Valentine did not blink, and soon his face was hot and red from tears and sweat.
"How long will it take for him to recover?" Shi Cunjin sat down on the other side of the couch, took off a glove, and touched Valentine's face with the back of his hand. It was still hot.
Fran Jane lowered her eyes and said softly, "The fastest time is 40 minutes, and the slowest time may be 2 hours."
Shi Cunjin paused for a moment and looked down at the time on his smart phone ring. Three hours had passed since the meeting. It was now 11:47, and the time was approaching the next event on his schedule.
Shi Cunjin's smart ring notification prompt also showed: [ACC·6 missed video messages] [SVIPA567·20 unread messages]
Evans Eamonn whispered in time: "Two hours ago, Mr. Fate and..."
Evans Eamon timely blurred "Director General of the Far East" into another pronoun "Experimental Area" to avoid the risk of information leakage. He said: "Mr. Fate and the person in charge of the experimental area called together to ask about the progress on your side. The experimental area reported that today's AI performance has ended and achieved a very good result."
"The experimental area asked if you could arrive at the AI experimental area to watch the Armor Show within the scheduled time?"
"According to the rules you set, I have reported to Mr. Fate and the experimental area the special private chat between you and Mr. Cat Eyes that should not be disturbed. You will discuss everything else in person."
Evans Eamon paused for a few seconds and said, "We didn't expect you to have such a long secret conversation with Mr. Cat Eyes. The person in charge of the experimental area originally expected that if there was no news from you in another 30 minutes, he would go here in person to check on you."
"A few minutes ago, I promptly informed Mr. Fate and the experimental area of your message about ending the private chat. Mr. Fate said that your will is still the main thing."
Evans Eamon: "The person in charge of the experimental area has not responded after receiving the message. I am not sure whether he has canceled his plan to come and check on your safety, or is on his way."
"Sir Sariel, do you want to stay and wait for Sir Cat's Eye to wake up, or proceed according to the original schedule..." Evans Amon glanced at the time on the intelligent brain ring and said, "In five minutes, we will set out for the AI experimental area. Then, we will have the Cat's Eye Guard come up to pick you up, and we will make another appointment in the future..." Evans Amon said expressionlessly, "A tea party accompanied by a normal etiquette officer or an older gentleman."
Shi Cunjin was surprised that the private chat lasted more than three hours. He only felt that 15 minutes had passed. Shi Cunjin lowered his head and set all of Anushka's messages as read, and replied to two messages. He turned his head and moved his lips slightly, and was about to say to Eamon: "We..."
"Mr. Sariel." The young head of the Jane Ning family suddenly spoke.
Shi Cunjin turned around.
They sat together on the same long, wide couch, with Valentine lying in the middle in a trance.
The young head of the Jian Ning family looked at the silver-haired guest, his black eyes gazing into his silver eyes.
"It would be a pity if you left now and failed to tell Valentine in person what gift you really wanted to give him when he was sober," Fran Jane said calmly.
Shi Cunjin discovered the difference between the vest Fate and the vest Sariel. The vest Fate would not speak rashly, but the young Sariel would be surprised by Jane Ning's unfounded guess: "What did I bring?"
"Valentine had been troubled by one thing," said Fran Janning.
"Cat's Eye has decided to send students to study in the Far East, but they don't have detailed subjects and courses." Fran Jane stared at Sariel and smiled calmly, "Mr. Fate and I have signed a cooperation agreement related to the Prometheus Technology Zone. As the new owner of the technology zone, he will definitely leave you a student ID for a postgraduate student."
"You and Valentine have a very close relationship. There are expectations and misunderstandings. There will be a reconciliation meeting in the near future."
"He didn't get any course schedules, so it's likely that you came in person to deliver the schedules, and you chose courses with him, studied together, and enhanced the friendship between the two districts and both sides. This gift is very suitable for you and Valentine to ease the relationship." Fran Jane said, "You just comforted Valentine and said that you only communicated a common language during the growth period. I guess you didn't have time to take out this gift."
"In all the years I've known him, Valentine has never been as happy as he is today in the rain. He is so happy..." Fran Janning looked into those silver eyes, slowed down the syllables, and spoke in a poetic rhythm, "...I don't know what to do."
"Historically, it is rare to see a male insect showing hyperactivity simply because of ecstasy. Valentine must have regarded you as his blood brother."
"If there is enough time, I kindly ask you to reserve some time to wait for Valentine to wake up." Fran Jane said elegantly, "If you are really pressed for time, it doesn't matter. I will explain it to Valentine when he wakes up."
[What a troublesome bug! He can kill any conversation.] The system complained quietly: [I hate the Capital Alliance bug tribe. Ten thousand words!]
"..." Shi Cunjin originally planned to wait for Valentine to wake up and give him some advice before leaving. Now that Jian Ning said this, Shi Cunjin's 70% intention to stay was reduced to 10%. In the early stage, before Gobelier became a card, the two tricky characters in Valentine's relationship network in the original novel were Kashi and Jian Ning.
Shi Cunjin played with Sariel's character, showing obvious indifference, "You are a little too sharp."
"Being sharper will help you better," Fran Jennings said. "He asked me to accompany him for a brief meeting. That's why Valentine wanted me to help him negotiate some requests at a critical moment."
Fran Janning smiled, his eyes were slightly curved, and his pupils were so dark that any insect could hardly tell whether his pupils were dots or beast pupils.
"Observation and decryption have been my friends since childhood." Fran Janning's voice softened a little, and he looked into those silver eyes: "This is my nature."
[Uh.] The system suddenly rang in Shi Cunjin's ear again. [What the hell! ? 0.5%! 1%! 1.5% What the hell Teacher Shi!!! Jian Ning's progress bar is moving!! His cards revealed the plot points and the original chapters? ? ...Huh...uh uh...it turns out that VV's escape follow-up perspective is on his side.]
"I hope you can stay a while," Fran Janeen smiled, "Valentine is trying to calm down."
