Chapter 18

Just as Xiaohua was about to ask back, the patrolman felt in his pocket, then took out two candies and handed them to Lin Ling.

"Here, it's my share."

Xiaohua had never heard of the word "molecule" before, but he knew that the candy in front of him was for him and Shenyuan.

Xiaohua would never refuse food that was delivered to his door. Although he didn't understand the meaning of the word, Xiaohua knew there was no bad intention, so he happily accepted it.

"Okay, thank you!"

Xiaohua's eyes were crooked as she took the candy and shared one with Shi Changyuan. After Lin Ling finished sharing, he peeled the candy and put it in his mouth, his cheeks puffed up.

Shenyuan watched Lin Ling lick the candy, and the tip of his bright red tongue flashed by.

"Why don't you eat?" Xiaohua's voice was vague, with a slurping sound.

Shi Changyuan met Xiaohua's clear and beautiful eyes, and looked away in panic again, his voice becoming hoarse again.

“I don’t want to eat for now.”

"Okay." Lin Ling nodded and stopped asking questions. Then he took Shi Changyuan's hand and walked into the city with a swagger.

Lin Ling was quite famous in the Seventh Base. After all, he had a very recognizable face. When Xiaohua and Shenyuan appeared in pairs in the base, almost everyone came out to watch and greet them.

"Oh, Lin Ling is back?" The lady who lived at the city gate poked her head out with a bright smile and handed Lin Ling a piece of cake. Then she saw the person that Lin Ling was holding.

is a man.

And he was a tall man, holding their Lin Ling...!

The old lady's eyes changed instantly, and she began to look him up and down, and asked tentatively, "Lin Ling, why haven't I seen this guy before? How old is he this year? Where is he from? Where does he live? What can he do in the base?"

Xiaohua listened to the old lady's familiar question and gave half of the pancake to Shi Changyuan. Then, while chewing the pancake, she answered the old lady's question obediently, "He is my new friend... No, he is a family member now! His name is Shi Changyuan."

"Age... I'm not sure about that, but she's a little older than me, I guess."

"It comes from the north."

"We just moved into that beautiful house behind the base!"

"What can he do at the base..." Lin Ling hadn't thought about this question yet, so she could only honestly say, "I might have to ask Sister Mo about this. She must know what Shi Changyuan can do at the base!"

In just a few words, the old lady had basically figured out Shi Changyuan's background.

He was from the northern base, probably from the first or third base. As soon as he arrived, he lived in the best house in the seventh base. He was also acquainted with Team Leader Mo from the research institute, so he must be of some importance.

The lady nodded.

They are both talented and handsome, not bad, they are a good match.

I just don't know what his character is like.

Then, the news that "Lin Ling brought the target back" spread like wildfire, even faster than the speed at which the two of them walked around the base.

When everyone saw them, they would say "Congratulations" and give them lots of snacks.

Most of those snacks were fruits of plants, such as sunflower seeds, peanut seeds, and two beautiful big red dates.

Lin Ling didn’t know what everyone was congratulating him for, but he received a lot of food, which was indeed worth celebrating.

The two of them first went to the villa that Mo Cheng had prepared for them and took a look around. They found that the villa did have good lighting, but it was a little empty. Unlike their Abyss, the entire space was filled and it looked very safe.

"But I like this swing!" Lin Ling was sitting on a basket swing on the terrace.

The previous swing was decorated with some fake flowers and vines. When Lin Ling saw that the abyss swallowed it all, he got some real vines and small white flowers as decoration.

On the terrace, there are rows of areas where green plants can be planted, swaying in the wind at the edge of the eaves.

Some human aesthetics are indeed very high-end. This villa seems to be specially built for Xiaohua. It is very suitable for Lin Ling and also very suitable for Shenyuan. It seems that this is naturally the house of Shenyuan and Xiaohua.

"Then Lingling, do you want to decorate it?" Shi Changyuan looked around, observing the things Xiaohua liked, trying to remember all of them, and then return to the Abyss to replicate them one to one.

But if Xiaohua really likes it, he can surround the entire villa with an abyss.

"OK!"

Lin Ling looked at the house and imagined living in it with Shen Yuan. For some reason, he always felt something strange.

This strange feeling made him feel that living here with Shi Changyuan was different from living in the abyss, but Lin Ling couldn't really tell what the difference was.

Especially when Lin Ling took Shi Changyuan to the street to see if there were any interesting gadgets that could be used to decorate the house, everyone's words and expressions towards them, this feeling reached its peak.

"Everyone is saying that the new friend Lin Ling brought back is very handsome. Congratulations to Lin Ling." The owner of a handicraft shop winked at Xiaohua and Shi Changyuan, as if he was joking about something.

Xiaohua didn't quite understand what this sentence meant. She always felt that it didn't make sense, but everyone was saying this today.

The owner of the handicraft shop is a very good human friend of Xiaohua. He always sells some strange little handicrafts. In the beginning, it was this human friend who taught Xiaohua many things and integrated into human life.

"What are you congratulating me for?"

Xiaohua finally found someone she could ask questions to with confidence.

"Congratulations to Lin Ling for finding a partner. Isn't Lin Ling picking out small items to decorate the wedding room now?"

The shop owner doesn't tell riddles, because she knows that if Xiaohua asks a question, it means she really doesn't know.

"When it comes to decorating a wedding room, people tend to prefer something more festive in terms of customs and habits."

The shop owner looked at Shi Changyuan, then moved closer to Lin Ling and gossiped in a low voice, "Speaking of such a handsome boyfriend, was it him who pursued you, or was it you who pursued him?"

But Xiaohua was stunned when he got the answer. He blinked and his face was dull.

...What partner? What wedding house? What boyfriend? ! !

Why is Xiaohua even less able to understand?

Did the humans before them congratulating him think that Xiaohua had found a partner?

"Well, I personally think that the focus of a wedding room is not the festive decorations." The owner whispered mysteriously, "The most important thing is the mood and atmosphere. Lin Ling, do you want to try it..."

Xiaohua didn't hear what was said afterwards, and Shenyuan didn't hear it clearly either.

Xiaohua and Shi Changyuan both felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck their heads, instantly clearing their minds.

One sentence awakened two people.
