"You... what brings you here today?" A hint of wariness flashed in Gu Tong's eyes. Lu Yuan couldn't help but want to peek from behind her, but she blocked his view with her body.
"Oh, I just wanted to borrow a pen!" Lu Yuan noticed that the other person had their own little secret, but didn't look inside any further. Instead, he made his request.
Gu Tong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Wait a moment, I'll go in and get it for you!"
After saying that, he turned to walk into the room, when a childish voice rang out from inside.
"Auntie, who's outside?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Tong's face turned deathly pale. She desperately tried to hide her panic, but only appeared more flustered.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Um, there's a child in here!"
Gu Tong immediately looked guilty and hurriedly waved her hands, stammering, "No...nothing, there's no child, you must have misheard!"
Lu Yuan looked at the other person with a hint of suspicion on his face, but didn't say anything. He just stood outside the door and waited.
Gu Tong's room was also small, but it was indeed a bit bigger than Lu Yuan's room, and there seemed to be a small living room inside.
Gu Tong strode in, closed the door behind her, and handed a pen to Lu Yuan.
"Okay, thank you. I'll return it to you when I'm done using it!" Lu Yuan took the pen, smiled at the other person, and turned to leave.
Just as Lu Yuan was about to open his door, he suddenly heard Gu Tong's voice behind him: "Wait a minute!"
Lu Yuan turned around with some surprise and saw Gu Tong's face show a conflicted expression before he finally spoke in a low voice.
"Please, please don't tell anyone about the child. They'll take him away!"
The pleading voice of the other party made Lu Yuan look puzzled. He didn't know why this child was causing him so much trouble. It seemed that he didn't want other people to know that he had a child at home.
"Of course, I'll keep this a secret for you, don't worry!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan turned around, opened his door, and went inside.
Lu Yuan spent the entire afternoon lying on the bed, slowly filling in all the information on the form, especially detailing his achievements and the specific methods for dealing with the bloodthirsty black beetles.
After working for about two or three hours, Lu Yuan finally finished filling out all the forms. Then he went to Gu Tong's room again, knocked lightly on the door, put the pen on the windowsill, and turned back to his own room.
In the evening, Lu Yuan went to get food with Gu Tong again, but this time they did not run into Sun Laosan. Because they arrived early, they had already gotten their food before the rat meat was all gone.
This time, Lu Yuan once again taught Gu Tong how to make rat meat.
Seeing Lu Yuan preparing to return to his room, Gu Tong couldn't help but call out to him again, "Are you really not going to eat anything here? Did you bring something else with you? Can I switch with you?"
Hearing Gu Tong whisper Lu Yuan in her ear, she couldn't help but glance at her, only to see a hint of anticipation on her face.
"Exchange? How do you mean exchange?" Lu Yuan glanced at the other party. Actually, he still wanted to exchange information with her. After all, Gu Tong worked in the personnel department of the base, so she must know a lot of people's names. He didn't know if there were any experts outside who weren't in this survivor base. If there were, Lu Yuan wanted to get that list and find these experts in various fields based on it. In this way, he could recruit the first batch of experts, and the composite material roof of his base could be produced as soon as possible.
However, Gu Tong blushed slightly and whispered in a voice only she could hear, "Then come to the room tonight, but not until after 10 o'clock and before 12 o'clock, because I have to go to work at 12 o'clock. The child may not be able to sleep until around 10 o'clock, and I don't want to wake her up!"
Lu Yuan was taken aback. He didn't understand what the other party meant, but he thought to himself that the other party certainly couldn't reveal such a confidential matter openly. He could only wait until it got dark before going in.
In the survivor base, to ensure people's normal production and life, they specially built an artificial sun for lighting, imitating the time in the past, so that day and night are very distinct, unlike the outside world where it is in the midst of polar day every day.
Lu Yuan nodded, then glanced at the other person and said, "Okay, I'll bring it in for you in a bit. Wait here for me!"
Gu Tong nodded gratefully, then stood in front of the door waiting for Lu Yuan to return to his room. After closing the door, she hurriedly went into the dimensional space and took out some dried meat and flatbread.
When Lu Yuan came out carrying a small bag of dried meat and flatbread, Gu Tong looked at the bag in Lu Yuan's hand with a face full of surprise.
"You...you have a pancake?" Gu Tong sniffed the air carefully, then pointed to the bag in Lu Yuan's hand and asked.
Lu Yuan nodded slightly.
"Alright, take it. Nutrition is the most important thing for children. Adults are fine, but children need to grow, so it's best to let them eat something nutritious as soon as possible. Although this rat is no longer poisonous, the taste is still hard to swallow. This is all I have left. I'll keep some for myself!"
