Chapter 151 Red Scale 4 [Update 1]
He Ziqian was also a little confused, but he quickly realized why this happened and couldn't help laughing.
"Ahem...well, I sometimes chat with Chi Lin..." In fact, the so-called chat is just talking to Chi Lin while he is repairing the mecha. After all, this is his exclusive space, so he is not afraid of being overheard by others, so naturally, what he says is what is in his heart.
Ruan Xi was stunned at first when she heard that, then she couldn't help but burst out laughing. Her eyes and eyebrows curved when she smiled, which was so beautiful. He Ziqian stared at her intently, and felt that it was really worth it to be able to make his lover laugh.
"Are you treating Chi Lin as a tree hole? Tell me the truth, what else did you say to him? Did you say anything bad about me?" Ruan Xi acted as if she was going to settle the score later, but in He Ziqian's eyes, she was only cute and didn't have any effect of scaring people at all.
He Ziqian also felt a little helpless and didn't know what was wrong. Now he looked at Ruan Xi and found her so cute that she seemed hopeless.
"I have never said anything bad about you, not even thinking about it, because, from the very beginning, you have amazed me with your excellence." This is absolutely true, He Ziqian did not exaggerate at all, looking into Ruan Xi's eyes with concentration and tenderness, and with a nostalgia that made Ruan Xi feel a little numb in her bones.
Oh my god, how come when it comes to love, He Ziqian, a man of steel, becomes so soft and gentle? This is unscientific...
Ruan Xi's mind was filled with the only novel she'd ever been lucky enough to read in her previous life. She'd always thought that the characters in novels were, after all, fictional. How could real-life men be so contradictory? Some were both cold and affectionate, some were both authoritarian and lovable. Every scene was a riot of contradictions. Ruan Xi couldn't bear to look at it.
But now, he's experienced the reality firsthand! It feels like... a slap in the face. How could his boyfriend be so disappointing?
Ruan Xi's expression changed a lot for a moment, and he gritted his teeth from time to time. He was busy with his work. He Ziqian was very happy to see him, so he didn't disturb him. He simply put his arm around Ruan Xi's shoulders and took him away.
In the next few days, Ruan Xi and He Ziqian were both so busy that they rarely had a chance to meet. Even when Chi Lin recovered, Ruan Xi didn't have time to see him. It was He Ziqian who brought Chi Lin to him to see, which made him feel relieved.
"Is Chi Lin really okay? Has his memory been connected? Have you gotten any clues?" After caring about Chi Lin himself, Ruan Xi naturally became concerned about Chi Lin's memory.
It’s a pity that after Chi Lin sorted out the system, those memories disappeared.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't keep those memory fragments. When I was sorting them out, they would automatically shatter if touched. Someone installed a special fragment destruction program in my system." If the wrong person touches those memory fragments, they will be automatically destroyed, leaving them no chance of rescue.
"Hey, it's not your fault. What's there to apologize for? I'm just curious. If you don't have any, then so be it. Originally, even if your memory was preserved, it would only be a pleasant surprise. This time, we have obtained more than enough information. It will be enough to keep us busy for a long time to come. There is no need to increase our workload artificially.
Ruan Xi naturally comforted Chi Lin. When he wanted to say something else, someone came over and he immediately shut his mouth.
This is not He Ziqian's exclusive space. Anyone can enter it, so there is naturally no privacy. The secret of Chi Lin is not suitable for others to know for the time being.
"Captain He, I was just looking for you. It's been a long time since you brought Chi Lin over for our inspection!" The person who came was Jiang Qi, one of the suspects that Ruan Xi and He Ziqian had discussed and analyzed before. He was a big boy with a very cheerful and enthusiastic personality. He was 23 years old this year and was the youngest member of the exclusive maintenance team equipped for Chi Lin. From the very beginning, he had a great enthusiasm for Chi Lin.
He was so enthusiastic that it made people doubt him. Ruan Xi felt that this person was very weird.
"Jiang Qi." He Ziqian greeted him lightly, but did not follow Jiang Qi's words and said that he was about to send Chi Lin for inspection.
He Ziqian did not give this kind of face to everyone. He was usually indifferent to the exclusive team, and everyone was used to it. Therefore, Jiang Qi did not think that there was anything wrong with He Ziqian's attitude, and he rushed to Chi Lin enthusiastically.
"Chilin, long time no see! I missed you so much~~"
Ruan Xi: “…” Damn, you are really too enthusiastic.
However, when he thought about the changes in Chi Lin after his recovery, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Chi Lin would also talk to people back and forth like he did with him and He Ziqian. This change would definitely be enough to attract everyone's attention.
But what surprised Ruan Xi was that Chi Lin said nothing and just stood there quietly, allowing Jiang Qi to touch him all over. No matter how Jiang Qi nagged him, he never responded at all.
Just like an ordinary mecha, it is on standby normally.
Ruan Xi and He Ziqian looked at each other and both felt that Chi Lin had really become much smarter and more humane. He could even judge the situation and give corresponding responses. It was simply magical!
Jiang Qi pestered He Ziqian for a long time but failed to persuade him to send Chi Lin for inspection. In the end, he could only leave with regret, looking back every few steps. The resentful look in his eyes made Ruan Xi shiver and get goose bumps.
"I feel like this guy is a bit stupid. Is he very capable at work?" Ruan Xi asked casually. After all, even if one is a relative, if one wants to enter the central base, he must have a strong skill. Otherwise, no matter how strong the relationship is, it will be useless.
"Give him the right materials, and he can directly build a mecha from scratch. He has very strong professional skills."
Unexpectedly, He Ziqian had a very high opinion of Jiang Qi. For Ruan Xi, a mechanical waste, creating something from scratch was simply a god's realm, something he dared not even think about.
"Did he get in through examination?"
"He was specially recruited. He was the only one in the team who didn't get in through the backdoor. He was a lone ranger, an orphan with no friends or family. He was also very isolated from his teachers and classmates at school, leaving him with almost no chance of gaining any support."
Of course, Jiang Qi doesn't need it at all.
"Awesome! Shouldn't such an awesome person join the mecha R&D department of the scientific research center? Why does he have to do maintenance? Moreover, he only repairs Chilin. Isn't he idle enough to grow hair all the time?" Ruan Xi couldn't understand the twists and turns in this. In his opinion, if you like someone, you should work hard to pursue them and improve them, just like his pursuit of medicine in two lifetimes, which is absolutely endless.
However, Jiang Qi seems to be a particularly contradictory person. He is talented and passionate, but he appears to be more careless, as if success or failure in the professional field that he is good at and loves has no effect on him at all.
This is really weird, but the strange thing is that when Ruan Xi saw Jiang Qi's true appearance, his perception told him that Jiang Qi was not a bad person, which was obviously different from the slight disgust he had when he saw the photo before.
Is there something wrong with his perception?
He Ziqian saw Ruan Xi's expression and after a few seconds of silence, he asked, "Don't you think he's a traitor?"
Ruan Xi showed no embarrassment at having his thoughts exposed. He pursed his lips slightly and replied, "Whether he's a traitor or not, I can't make a definitive conclusion for now, but I don't think he's a bad person."
Ruan Xi came to this conclusion, which basically confirmed He Ziqian's judgment of Jiang Qi.
This suspect can be ruled out for the time being.
"By the way, have the other two been investigated? Didn't the others ask more questions?" Everyone has basic curiosity. Ruan Xi was still a little curious about the reactions of the other members of the Goshawk Team.
"No."
This answer was so clear and concise that it immediately suppressed Ruan Xi's curiosity.
"...Okay, I have to go back to the research center. You can continue to be busy. Chilin, goodbye." Ruan Xi said goodbye to Chilin as if he were a human.
Chi Lin, who was just in standby mode, suddenly had a green light flash in his eyes and a low voice sounded.
"Xiao Xi, goodbye. Please take care of yourself. No matter how busy you are, you must eat and rest on time." This is simply the standard configuration of a caring boyfriend, which immediately shocked Ruan Xi and He Ziqian.
“Amazing!”
"Is it because of the system?"
Unfortunately, Ruan Xi didn't have the time or ability to investigate further. He didn't even have time to ask any more questions before he was dragged away. He wasn't even given a chance to delay for a minute, which made Ruan Xi very resentful.
However, as soon as he left the sight of He Ziqian and Chi Lin, Ruan Xi immediately regained his aloof demeanor, becoming so professional that people could only look up to him.
When he followed the researchers who came to find him and hurried to the research center, he thought something emergency had happened. However, when he looked up, he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiling at him.
Ruan Xi: "..." Pulling him here in a hurry, just for this?
"Ruan Xi, long time no see." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was as familiar as ever. He came up and gave Ruan Xi a hug. The tone of his greeting was so familiar that Ruan Xi was stunned and almost couldn't recover.
No, is he that familiar with the Crown Prince? Is his boyfriend the Crown Prince's best friend and brother?
Ruan Xi was not used to people getting so close to her, so after a polite hug, she quietly took a step back, lest the Crown Prince get crazy and hug her again.
"Your Highness, are you here to look for He Ziqian? I was with him just now. I'll call him for you." Then, without waiting for His Royal Highness the First Prince to react, Ruan Xi had already dialed He Ziqian's number and quickly explained the situation.
He Ziqian was silent for two seconds, and before he could speak, he started moving.
"I'll be right there."
Author's chat: It's too late, I can't write anymore, I'll make up for it tomorrow during the day, thank you for your support, muah~~
