Strange Invasion 18 Confession
Gu Xi sat in the car, drinking hot cocoa, looking out the window.
A lot of police officers came and turned the transfer station upside down.
Xie Yunsui went out to catch strange insects and hadn't come back yet, so Gu Xi felt a little uneasy.
Will he find out that I released the strange insect on purpose?
I was so nervous just now that I didn't notice whether Zhou Wei and the others were recording. What if they were caught on camera?
Zhu Mingyu saw me take action, and she'll definitely betray me if she's caught...
The more you try to leave a good impression, the more likely it is that the result goes against your wishes.
Gu Xi held the car door, and even hot cocoa couldn't soothe his inner anxiety.
"Thanks to you, we were able to catch all these weird bugs this time. Otherwise, if we were alone, one or two would definitely have slipped through the net..."
Hearing Shen Hanshuang's voice, Gu Xi sat down immediately.
"Have all the people been arrested?"
"Zhou Wei ran away. It seems he was well prepared and had already thought of a way to escape if he was exposed."
"Run away?"
"It's only temporary. Strict orders have been issued at all checkpoints, so he can't return to Country H."
Xie Yunsui walked closer and saw Gu Xi listening attentively to their conversation. He couldn't help but smile: "After a break, are you feeling better?"
Gu Xi nodded and asked eagerly, "Did I get into trouble?"
"Thanks to you, we were able to identify these people's plans in advance. Good boy, you didn't cause any trouble." Shen Hanshuang smiled and patted his shoulder: "You did a good job."
Gu Xixin was suddenly shocked, thinking that he had made a big mistake, but in the end he received praise?
"Zhou Wei's plan...?"
"I shouldn't have told you about this. Since you've encountered it, I'll definitely have to sign an agreement with you later. It doesn't hurt to reveal a little bit now..." Shen Hanshuang said sternly.
Xie Yunsui got in the car and explained simply and clearly: "Zhou Wei secretly brought the strange insects into the film. I guess he wanted to create a strange scene in our country without anyone noticing."
Chen Hanshuang choked for a moment, then nodded. "We've found out that Zhu Mingyu has ordered several batches of goods here. Hundreds of people will come here in batches to pick up the goods in the next few days. If they accidentally encounter a strange insect, they might carry it to all corners of our country."
Gu Xi thought of what Xie Yunsui said, that if the strange insect enters the body and does not notice the presence of a mother insect around, it will automatically evolve into a mother insect. Once it becomes a mother insect, it will begin to continuously differentiate into larvae, just like an invisible virus. As long as there are people, it will spread everywhere.
Country H was forced to abandon its capital city by a strange insect queen.
Their country has a larger population and more developed transportation. Once the disease spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable.
This is actually a very insidious trick.
Zhou Wei and others chose this logistics transfer station as their address in the beginning with the purpose of infecting Yunzhou City.
Chen Hanshuang was frightened for a moment and turned to look at Gu Xi, feeling more and more that he was a little lucky star.
"If it weren't for you, Boss Xie wouldn't have asked me to investigate Zhu Mingyu, and I wouldn't have found Zhou Wei, let alone discovered their plan. So, it's all thanks to you." Shen Hanshuang said with a smile.
Gu Xi felt a little embarrassed at this moment: "Was Teacher Xie called here by the dean to help?"
"Well, you didn't go to class for the quiz today. Yang Lei was very worried about you. She didn't have the tools to contact you, so she went to see the dean."
After Xie Yunsui caught the strange insect, he just had to hand it over to the police officers at the transfer station.
Chen Hanshuang wanted to submit a report quickly, so she followed Xie Yunsui back to Yunzhou City.
Xie Yunsui drove all the way and did not return to the shelter. Instead, he took Gu Xi to the store.
Gu Xi got out of the car and followed Xie Yunsui obediently.
The first time he came to Xie Yunsui's store, he was startled by Youyou greeting him at the door, and then he was surprised by the talking little bee when he came in. After calming down, he quickly accepted it and thought these two cute creatures were very adorable.
"Wait a moment, I'll go deal with the weird bug."
Xie Yunsui took him to sit at the tea table and took out a cup of milk tea for him from somewhere.
Gu Xi held the milk tea in her hand and smiled sweetly: "Yeah."
Xie Yunsui entered the small room. Gu Xi looked around boredly. There were not many cabinets in the store, and there were only a few samples in them.
When people from outside come in and see a store like this, their first reaction will definitely be to shake their heads and turn away, because they really can't tell what the store's main business is.
Just as Gu Xi was sitting there for a while, two pairs of young couples who were traveling came in because they were attracted by the tall robot Youyou at the door. They thought it was a store selling toys or two-dimensional peripherals. They were stunned for a moment when they came in, looked around and left without even tentatively asking Gu Xi what was sold here.
Gu Xi wanted to attract more customers, but when he looked at the things inside, except for the talismans and the ghost-catching cage, everything else seemed a bit abstract, so he just sat there quietly.
Youyou was still standing at the door motionless. Once someone passed by, he would raise his hand in a frightening (crossed out) way to greet them with lightning speed.
The little bee squatted on top of the tall robot and sternly warned it, "Be gentle, you're scaring the guests away."
Youyou let out a deep and rich laugh.
The contrast between the two, one big and one small, is quite cute.
Gu Xi drank milk tea and just watched for fun.
"Have you been waiting long?"
Xie Yunsui's voice came from behind. Gu Xi turned around with a smile, and then saw the very familiar backpack in his hand.
Gu Xi's smile froze instantly.
"At first I thought it belonged to Zhou Wei and the others, so I flipped through a few pages and realized it was your notes." Xie Yunsui placed the backpack in front of Gu Xi and said, "See what's missing."
Gu Xi couldn't tell whether he really cared about him or was just taking the opportunity to point fingers at him.
He pursed his lips and explained, "Sister Zhu asked me out today. I thought it was just a reunion, but I didn't expect her to take me to that place. The notes in my bag were for reviewing last night. I didn't want to tell them about my cultivation method, so they stole my bag..."
In order to present a perfect image, Gu Xi habitually whitewashes his behavior.
Good kids always like to portray themselves as victims so that they can gain sympathy from others.
Xie Yunsui saw through it at a glance: "I checked, the notes have been tampered with, but you changed it so it's not noticeable. They won't realize the technique is fake in a short time."
Gu Xi fell silent.
"Were you threatened by Zhu Mingyu and came up with this method to deal with her?"
Gu Xi's fingers were tightly clenched on the corner of his clothes, his eyes were lowered, and his eyelashes cast a shadow on his face, as if he wanted to hide all his emotions.
Xie Yunsui noticed his sensitive thoughts, half-knelt down, and looked up at him: "Xiao Xi, I don't mean to blame you."
"She..." Gu Xi's voice was very soft: "She said that if I didn't give her the cultivation method, I would not be able to stay in the orphanage."
Xie Yunsui's eyes softened. "So you changed your technique to try to calm her down?"
Gu Xi nodded.
"Why didn't you tell me or the dean? I heard she found you last week."
Xie Yunsui's tone was always gentle, and he encouraged him to tell the truth. Gu Xi couldn't help but think of the person in his dream.
In his dreams, he can act recklessly because he knows that the people in his dreams will always tolerate him.
But in reality, he didn't understand Xie Yunsui, and didn't know if Xie Yunsui could accept him completely, so he tried desperately to hide the bad and bad sides of himself and only show the most perfect side.
Why not tell him and the dean?
Because he is just not honest. His age is wrong. He has been over the age limit for a long time and he deliberately concealed it in order to stay in the orphanage.
He was afraid that the truth would be exposed, revealing that he was a selfish and bad person.
He was afraid that Xie Yunsui would dislike him from then on after knowing the truth.
He was afraid that he would lose the opportunity to get close to Xie Yunsui and would no longer be able to dream.
Gu Xi looked at Xie Yunsui. Even at this moment, he didn't dare to confess everything. He didn't have the confidence to risk everything.
Tears fell like pearls from a broken string, but her face was still tense. She cried so obediently, which made her look even more pitiful.
Xie Yunsui reached out to wipe it, but not only did it not dry up, it only made the tears come out even more.
"Don't cry, I won't ask anymore."
Gu Xi reached out and grabbed him, not knowing why he was so conflicted. He hoped he wouldn't ask, but if he really didn't ask, he also wanted him to ask thoroughly.
Xie Yunsui laughed: "Is it not okay not to ask? You're already twenty-one, why are you still acting like a child? You're crying so aggrieved."
"……belch."
Gu Xi was so scared that he hiccuped and his tears stopped all of a sudden.
"You, you know?"
Xie Yunsui was puzzled: "Know what?"
Gu Xi swallowed, suspecting that he was just hallucinating and that he was actually sixteen years old.
Xie Yunsui smiled and said, "Do you know your age?"
Gu Xi stared into his eyes, making sure there wasn't even a trace of disgust in them, and asked nervously, "Don't you think... I'm selfish and mean?"
"Selfish?"
"It's taking up the resources of the orphanage... I could go out into society and earn money to support myself. If there's one more child in the orphanage, there's one less child in need."
Xie Yunsui was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect him to say that.
He was silent for a moment, his eyes fell on Gu Xi's red eyes, and suddenly he sighed softly and reached out to pinch his cheek.
"Xiao Xi, what do you think the rescue center is?"
Gu Xi was stunned and replied subconsciously: "A place that helps children who have lost their parents and have no home."
"do not you?"
Gu Xi pursed his lips: "But... I'm already an adult..."
"Did you deliberately change your age to a younger one?"
"No, I didn't. It was Zhu Jiasen who changed it. When I was fifteen, he changed it to ten."
"Liang Gaoyuan is fifteen years old now. Do you think anyone would believe him if his age was changed to ten?"
Gu Xi was silent.
The reason why he was able to disguise himself as a minor was because he was born with a baby face and looked young. At the age when he should have been growing up, he was short and too thin due to malnutrition, so his disguise was so successful that no one questioned it.
If he hadn't kept a photo of himself taking his first full month, which was the only photo of Gu Xi showing his biological parents, and Liang Gaoyuan had discovered it, he wouldn't have seen the truth.
"No matter what the true situation is, if you need the orphanage, it will help you. This is the purpose of the orphanage's existence. Children graduate at 18, and only after the orphanage confirms that they have survival skills will they be issued graduation certificates. At most... you'll have eaten a few more bowls of rice at the orphanage. When you make money, you can give back to the orphanage."
Gu Xi was amused by him, and his eyes became red again as he laughed.
It turns out that what he thought was a big deal turned out to be such a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning?
"Xie Yunsui..."
He grabbed Xie Yunsui's clothes, his heart filled with indescribable emotions, and tears fell from his eyes.
Xie Yunsui reached out and ruffled his hair, his tone helpless yet gentle: "Why are you crying again?"
Gu Xi shook her head, trying hard not to cry: "Can you hug me?"
Xie Yunsui stretched out his arms, hugged him tightly, and held him tightly in his arms.
Gu Xi took advantage of the situation and dived into his chest.
Youyou at the door turned his head 180 degrees to watch the show and laughed out loud.
The little bee flapped its wings on its forehead: "Keep your voice down, the second boss will be scared away by you."
