Chapter 184 Too Many Variables
Most viewers didn't notice what happened and thought that the TV station had originally arranged two guard teams to be interviewed.
But Bi Qiaoan noticed something was wrong from the female reporter's momentary shock. For some reason, he felt uneasy.
Bi Qiaoan looked at Shen Yanming and wanted to say something, but saw Shen Yanming shaking his head, so Bi Qiaoan suppressed his thoughts.
In the evening, after Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan returned home and had dinner, Bi Qiaoan started talking about what happened during the day, "Why do I feel like something is wrong?"
"Well, it stands to reason that guards who have just returned from abroad should be more tired, and those who came back before should be in better spirits, but they are completely transferred. Obviously there is something wrong."
Shen Yanming thought about it and felt that he couldn't say that. "It's hard to say because after the second batch of guards came back, they were a little tired due to training, and the third batch came back not long ago and successfully completed the task assigned by the Qinghe Alliance, so they are still excited."
"But what about the first batch? Why didn't you interview the first batch?"
Shen Yanming sensed Bi Qiaoan’s uneasiness and comforted him, “It might be a coincidence!”
Bi Qiaoan felt that things might have gone beyond their control. There were too many variables in this life, and no one could predict what situation they would face next.
Bi Qiaoan walked to the balcony, opened the tightly covered curtains, and looked at the bright moon in the sky.
The moonlight was bright and the stars were shining. After looking at them for a long time, Bi Qiaoan felt as if his heart had calmed down.
What is she worried about? Is it useful to think so much? What is going to happen will happen and no one can stop it. As long as she and Shen Yanming are together, what is there to be afraid of?
Bi Qiaoan was looking at the bright moon with her thoughts flying around, completely unaware of the passage of time. Chen Yanming looked at Bi Qiaoan's back, walked over and hugged her from behind, admiring the bright moon with her tonight.
After a long time, Bi Qiaoan came back to his senses, "Okay, I'm fine, let's go back, my legs are numb after standing for so long."
Shen Yanming nodded, but when the two turned around, Bi Qiaoan caught a glimpse of all kinds of small insects clinging densely on the window screen.
In the past, in order to facilitate entering and exiting the space, the two of them almost always drew the curtains when they were at home, so they didn't notice the movement outside the window for so long.
Today, because Bi Qiaoan was in a bad mood, she went to the balcony to look at the moon and opened the curtains. The bright light passed through the glass to the outside and soon attracted a lot of insects. Bi Qiaoan looked around and saw mosquitoes, moths, and many other species she didn't recognize.
In short, there were seventy or eighty small insects on a piece of window screen that was less than one square meter. Bi Qiaoan felt his scalp tingling just looking at them.
“In the past, people always said there were a lot of bugs, but because I was wearing the sachet every day, I didn’t have any direct experience. I just heard about it from other people, or imagined it when I saw the bites on other people’s bodies.
It was not until today that I felt the power of insects firsthand. No wonder they were chasing you for spices."
"The Qinghe Alliance launched this measure in a timely manner. Otherwise, when mosquitoes become rampant, we may not be able to go out. What we are most afraid of now is that these mosquito bites may transmit diseases."
Bi Qiaoan nodded and said nothing more. As a common citizen, she could do nothing about these things, but she felt upset just looking at those little bugs.
Fortunately, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan usually keep the windows closed, so the mosquitoes can only cling to the window screens and there is no need to worry about them getting in through the gaps.
However, Shen Yanming still pulled the curtains, turned off the main lights in the living room, took out a very beautiful table lamp from the space and placed it on the coffee table.
The dim light shone on their faces, and the quiet environment created an ambiguous atmosphere. Without saying anything, they quickly hugged each other, their lips pressed tightly together, their lips and teeth entangled...
A few days later, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan received a courier from the Qinghe Alliance at work.
"Why did you write the address as your workplace?" Bi Qiaoan asked softly in Shen Yanming's ear.
"We have to let everyone know that even I can't get the spices I had before!" Shen Yanming chuckled.
Well, the reason was perfect, Bi Qiaoan quietly gave Shen Yanming a thumbs up.
The office received a total of six mosquito repellent fragrances, and everyone opened the packages as soon as they received them, including Shen Yanming.
"It looks similar to what Old Shen gave us, and it smells similar, too!"
"I think so too. But, do all spices look like this?"
Qin Yiren nodded. "Well, the ones I bought online also look like this. I guess it's just that the formula is different. I'll know the effect when I go back and try it."
Bi Qiaoan looked at Shen Yanming, "Same?"
Shen Yanming shook his head, "Not quite the same, probably because of the raw materials. The effect won't be as good as what we make ourselves."
Bi Qiaoan nodded in understanding and said nothing more.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan put the spices back into the box, and then used the bag as a cover to store the spices into the space.
Qin Yiren and Yu Shui took out a small piece and put it into the incense ball and burned it. "Hey, let me try the effect for everyone!"
Everyone smiled and nodded. Everyone was looking forward to it.
As a result, the next day, Yu Shui and Qin Yi went to work in a depressed mood.
"What's wrong? Your expressions are so synchronized!"
“Don’t mention it, the mosquito repellent fragrance is effective, but it’s still quite different from what I used before.
The one given by Lao Shen, mosquitoes dare not approach it when it is two or three meters away. Yesterday I replaced Lao Shen’s spice with the Alliance’s. As a result, I was not bitten, but my family members were bitten! "Yu Shui said.
"What's going on?" everyone asked hurriedly, and Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan also pricked up their ears to listen.
“The spice from the Alliance can only keep mosquitoes one meter away from you, but you can easily let them into your home.
I didn't get bitten because I was wearing spices, but other people in the family suffered.
This morning, my mother's face was covered with red pimples, and she kept scolding me." Before Shui could speak, Qin Yiren told her story.
Yu Shui nodded, "Yes, that's it!"
So everyone looked at Shen Yanming again, "Old Shen?"
Shen Yanming shook his head, "I can't help it. I really can't get it. Although the effect of the spice produced by the alliance is not as good as the previous one, it may be because it is milder and harmless to the body."
After hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense, otherwise how could the effects be so different? Perhaps the spice failed to be put on the market because its medicinal effect was too strong and could not be used for a long time!
Seeing that everyone stopped asking about the spices, Shen Yanming was completely relieved.
Time quickly came to the beginning of June, and Bi Qiaoan finally finished drinking the Chinese medicine!
Without the bitter medicine, Bi Qiaoan was in a very good mood every day this week.
Shen Yanming was also in a good mood, because he wondered every day whether he could prepare for pregnancy.
