Chapter037
Mi Xiu was cooking, and Shi Jiu wasn't idle either, setting the table. The aroma of food wafted from the kitchen, and Shi Jiu looked up. Mi Xiu was wearing her pink apron, her long silver hair tied up simply. She looked otherworldly, yet she was diligently preparing a dish in the kitchen.
Inexplicable, very weird.
"Let's eat." Michel's food was ready, and he brought out a plate. Shi Jiu noticed it, ran to the kitchen, and brought out another plate.
Shijiu sat at the dining table, and Michel sat across from her. His cooking skills were excellent, much better than Shijiu had imagined.
This was actually Shijiu's first time eating at home during this dungeon. She couldn't cook, so she usually ate out for simple meals. She also had a small appetite, so she didn't need to eat out every day.
"Does your hand still hurt?" Michel asked when he saw that Shijiu hadn't moved.
Shi Jiu raised his eyes and looked at Mi Xiu, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
"Then eat."
"Um."
Shijiu picked up some dishes, and they tasted really good. They suited her taste perfectly. Shijiu liked spicy food, but she used to take a lot of medication and couldn't eat spicy food.
This time, Mi Xiu had added some chili peppers to the dish, making it spicy and delicious. Shi Jiu had already devoured two bowls of rice without realizing it.
Neither of them talked much during the meal. Shijiu just lowered her head and ate her meal. Then she realized that she had eaten more than Michel.
After finishing the meal, Shijiu took the initiative to clear the dishes and wash them. However, before her hands even touched the water, Mixiu grabbed them and said, "Let me do it. You're injured."
"It's okay, my hand..." Shi Jiu was about to say that her arm was injured, not her hand, and that washing dishes would be no problem. But under Shi Jiu's gaze, Michelle's hand had already touched the water and started washing dishes. Seeing his tough attitude, Shi Jiu silently swallowed the rest of her words.
Audience members who saw this scene:
[Bullet screen]: Ahhhhhhh, I'm going to be a fan, Admiral Michaux is so handsome! !
[Bullet screen]: Admiral Michaux is a good wife and mother, hahahaha!
[Bullet comment]: I actually saw a sense of Manman’s CP! As expected, our Ajiu is a perfect match with everyone!
Shijiu stood beside Mixiu. She saw the water rushing down from the faucet and suddenly remembered something. "The water source has been contaminated by aliens. Will it affect the water supply of the base?"
"Those water bases have been blocked." Michel was still washing dishes, answering Shijiu's questions seriously. "We detected problems there before, and the base has already taken all safety measures." Michel cleaned the last bowl. "So it won't affect the base's water supply."
"Oh." Shi Jiu responded and handed Michelle a tissue to wipe his hands naturally.
Mi Xiu was slightly stunned, then took the tissue from Shi Jiu's hand. He lowered his eyes and looked at her, "I haven't asked you yet..."
Shijiu instinctively knew that Mixiu was going to ask her about her sneaking into the lab that night. She bent down, covered her stomach, frowned, and said, "Sorry, I feel a little uncomfortable. I need to go to the bathroom."
“........”
When Shijiu came out of the bathroom, the living room outside was very quiet. Shijiu originally thought that Mixiu had left until she saw the figure on the sofa.
Perhaps because he was too tired, he had fallen asleep on the sofa.
When he fell asleep, he put away his cold and intimidating temperament. He became very quiet, like a white, cool cat.
Shi Jiu inexplicably wanted to touch her, but was afraid of waking him up, so she hesitated for a moment before taking action. She took his uniform jacket and gently covered him with it.
Perhaps he sensed something, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
Shi Jiu stood in front of him and looked at him, then finally went back to his room, took out a thin blanket, and covered his legs with it.
It was getting late, so Shijiu went back to her bedroom to sleep. When she woke up the next day, Michelle, who had been in the living room, was gone. Shijiu had no idea when he left. She also found a small note on the table, which he had left.
His handwriting was very elegant, and it read: Thank you for taking me in.
Shi Jiu put away the note and prepared to pack up and go to the research institute, but she unexpectedly saw a small silver object in the corner of the sofa.
It was a small badge on Michel's coat, which might have accidentally fallen off his clothes last night.
She didn't have his contact information, so she could only return it to him the next time they met.
Because of this water source operation, Shi Jiu gained the attention of Minister Qi, who applied to the higher-ups for a transfer. Shi Jiu was very capable and had no problems in all aspects, so the higher-ups quickly issued a notice approving her transfer.
Shi Jiu went to the Alien Defense Department, which is the full name of the base's Alien Prevention and Control Department.
"The minister asked me to bring you here to familiarize yourself with the work of our department." Shi Jiu had just arrived, and the person who came to bring Shi Jiu was a girl named Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi first took Shi Jiu to the department's research area for a tour, and finally brought her to a heavy door. There were soldiers guarding the door, and the place was under very strict security.
"This is our department's alien shelter. It's full of living aliens. I hope you don't be afraid." Xiao Qi said as he showed his pass to the base soldier guarding the door.
The heavy door opened, and Shijiu could clearly sense the presence of an alien species inside. There were more researchers inside than Shijiu had imagined. Xiaoqi called the researchers here "containment managers."
If nothing unexpected happens, Shijiu's next job will also be here.
The shelter managers are very busy. There are many different types of alien species here. Some look weird and scary, while others look cute and well-behaved.
"There are three types of alien species here, A, B, and C. Type A alien species are the most dangerous. Don't get close to them." Xiao Qi walked forward and continued to explain to Shi Jiu, "There is a species number at the door of each containment room. You can just use the number when making records and taking samples."
Shi Jiu was indeed assigned to the holding room. She and Xiao Qi were in the same research laboratory. Her daily responsibilities were to take samples from alien species and observe the dynamics of various alien species.
"The aliens have been noticeably agitated these past few days. You must be careful. Xiao Wang from the third laboratory was deceived by a previously well-behaved alien. Her hand was injured by the alien and she has been sent to the monitoring room for examination."
During the lunch break, Shi Jiu heard his colleagues gossiping.
"I guess our superiors are going to have another meeting with us soon. I don't know what's going on with the aliens these past few days. They've been acting very strangely. Everyone must be careful, especially when taking samples."
Shi Jiu clearly felt the restless aura among the alien species. In fact, Shi Jiu herself also realized that something was wrong with her body, but she could still control herself.
In the afternoon, there was no meeting notice, and Shijiu and his colleagues were still working on their respective tasks.
"Ajiu, I feel a little uncomfortable. Let me go to the bathroom first." The colleague who took the sample with Shijiu may have had an upset stomach at noon. In such a short period of time, he had already gone to the bathroom three times.
"Okay, go ahead." Shijiu continued to collect samples here.
The alien in front of Shijiu was a safe one, usually very well behaved and safe. Before taking samples, Shijiu would first use an anesthetic to anesthetize them.
But this time it was different. Shi Jiu discovered that shortly after her colleague left, several security aliens began to become agitated.
The safe aliens in this containment room are Type C aliens, which look like a bunch of weeds. They usually sleep and rarely wake up.
But now it was different. Shi Jiu noticed that they all opened their eyes, although their eyes were very small, even negligible.
A small alien species began to chirp.
The arrogance of one small alien species led to the arrogance of a group of small alien species. They were not brave enough to attack her. However, those small black eyes were rolling around, as if observing the wine.
Shi Jiu wasn't afraid of them, but she was a little annoyed by their barking. She lowered her eyes to look at them and said calmly, "Please be quiet."
"Chirp, chirp, chirp!" It would be fine if they didn't say anything, but once they did, the little green things became even more excited.
It was as if they had determined that Shijiu was just a good-tempered little trash and didn't take Shijiu seriously. They started running around and provoking Shijiu.
In the past, Shijiu had a good temper and would not bother with them. But now it was different, as if it was a certain season, and the restlessness factor in the alien body was awakened, and Shijiu, as a small alien, was not immune. She clearly felt that her mood had become particularly irritable in the past few days, even though she did not show it.
"I told you to shut up." Shi Jiu lowered her eyes, hiding the emotion in them. She stretched out her hand, and several small transparent tentacles appeared in her palm, touching the running little alien.
The next second, all the little aliens that were still madly provocative were paralyzed and fell to the ground, unable to move.
There were a lot of surveillance cameras in the containment room, and Shijiu had almost figured out all the blind spots. Just now, her tentacles appeared, but the surveillance cameras couldn't see them.
Shi Jiu was quietly collecting samples, and the paralyzed little aliens cursed at Shi Jiu with their eyes.
The sample collection in the afternoon went very smoothly. After the ordeal of the violent alien species over the past few days, the colleagues working with Shijiu were a little bit incredulous. "I think today's sample collection went really smoothly. Those alien species were very cooperative."
"Yes."
Shi Jiu simply responded. She was still very upset. She tried to suppress it for a long time but still couldn't calm down.
The sample collection went so smoothly this time, but Shi Jiu no longer had the patience to waste time with those alien species. She used her tentacles every time to paralyze those small alien species.
"I'm going to the bathroom first." Shi Jiu felt her body was getting quite hot, and she wanted to go to the bathroom and run some cold water over her face to calm down. Otherwise, if she continued like this, her alien identity would be exposed.
The cold water touched his skin, and Shijiu washed for a long time before finally feeling a little more comfortable.
As soon as she walked out of the bathroom, she saw a familiar figure at the door.
He was wearing a neat uniform, his pale, cold eyes staring at her.
Shijiu's throat was a little hoarse now, and she called softly, "Mixiu?"
Mixiu didn't say anything, his brows slightly frowned, and then he walked towards her.
He walked closer, reached out, and directly held her hot wrist.
As long as she was close to him, Shi Jiu found that her restlessness and discomfort subsided. She did not struggle and let him lead her.
His hands were cool, which made her feel comfortable.
Michel brought her to an empty room. The room was a little dark, with faint golden beams shining in.
The surveillance camera in the corner where they were couldn't see them. Michel lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him. Her hair in front was wet, her cheeks were red, and her body was burning hot.
Mixiu released his hand from holding her wrist and wanted to touch her forehead, but he didn't expect her little hand to reach out and hold his hand impatiently.
“…”
"What did you eat?" asked Michaux.
"No." Shi Jiu said hoarsely.
Before Michel could speak again, the girl next to him suddenly moved closer. She rested her head on his chest and snuggled up in his arms.
"Don't move, I'll just stay for a while."
"I'm not feeling well."
Michaux heard her say.
