Primary school chicken

Xu Cheng's sudden hug left Luo Tan completely stunned.

She could smell the hot sweat at the tip of her nose, but more of it was the fragrance of soapberries on the young man's clothes. This hug was too tight and too crazy, so she forgot to push him away for a moment.

What brought her back to her senses was the sound of footsteps approaching: "Do you want to wipe it off?"

She raised her head from Xu Cheng's arms and saw Andre, who was talking and laughing. The once noble Wang Chu was holding a rose made of tissue paper, pretending to hand it to her.

At first she did not realize what Andre meant, but when she met his smiling gaze, she suddenly realized what was going on, quickly snatched the rose and wiped her mouth.

When she took a look, sure enough, there was a stain from drink on Xu Cheng's clean and tidy uniform, and it happened to be on his chest, which was super obvious!

Luo Tan: ...

The strange atmosphere just now disappeared in an instant, and turned into another kind of embarrassment. But how could Luo Chen allow herself to be embarrassed? She would take the initiative! She looked at Xu Cheng with a critical eye for a long time, and then suddenly asked: "What are you dragging behind you?"

Xu Cheng: “Ah?”

He pulled the thing in his hand closer to his eyes and saw that it was a long infusion tube with a container at the other end containing a person's...brain.

Xu Cheng slapped his head in frustration, he almost forgot about this!

He explained: "We have brought back human brains that were connected to subjects, and they may have come from cosmetic surgery victims, and I want to see if I can put them back into the victims..."

But Luo Chen's point was not this. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Cheng: "Are you hugging me with the hand that touched your head?"

"I... No, no, I didn't touch it..."

"You are, you are, I saw it all!"

"No, no, I didn't..."

"You, you're still making excuses!"

“…”

After a round of elementary school quarrels, Luo Tan finally cooled down the inexplicable heat on her face and suppressed the inexplicable surge of emotions. She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart:

[Really? I finally got past that. Why did he hug me when we had a disagreement? It made me, an inexperienced female college student, feel really awkward.]

Xu Cheng didn't understand what Luo Tan meant by "female college student", but he silently replied in his heart:

I don't know either.

His left hand slowly touched his heart which was still beating faster and faster.

It was as if the intense desire to protect her had exceeded the limit of the sense of responsibility.

Why?

He tried to figure it out, but before he could figure it out, he heard Andre say, "Your teammates are here too. Hurry up and hand over the brains you collected to the military doctor. We have to race against time to start research."

…

The efficiency of interstellar scientific researchers was indeed very high. Luo Chen soon learned that the brains that were rescued had been matched with their victims through DNA and could be transplanted back through surgery. Although it was impossible to restore those people's IQ all at once, it was better than losing memory all day long.

She couldn't help but complain: When the technology tree develops to a certain level, humans and animals will simply become building blocks. You can assemble them however you want and have whatever functions you want.

However, interstellar technology has nothing to do with her for the time being. What does concern her is——

She found that inexplicable lost items always appeared at the door!

At first it was a box of fruit. She thought the courier had misread the house number, so she rushed to the police station in person, hoping to return it to the owner.

Then there was a bag of valuable-looking pearls and gems. She ran to the police station again and handed the bag to Xu Cheng personally.

The next time, it was a big box with the words "Capital Star Specialty Snacks Gift Pack" marked on it. Luo Tan couldn't help but look into the gap of the box and breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, it wasn't roast duck and donkey with rolled bean juice. If she saw this again after traveling through time, she would really be shocked!

She went to find Xu Cheng again, and Xu Cheng looked a little strange: "No one would drop off a special gift bag at your door, right?"

Luo Tan was stumped by the question: "...It seems so."

Xu Cheng brewed it for a long time and said, "Why don't you take it back and eat it?"

Luo Tan: "But what if the owner comes back looking for it..."

Xu Cheng: "No, think about it, who are the people who buy local specialties? They must have finished their trip and returned home with their families!"

Luo Tan was somewhat tempted: "Then I..."

“Eat it!”

"No, no, no! You have to eat with me. If we commit theft, we have to share the pain!"

When Luo Tan took his first bite of the cookie, an idea suddenly occurred to him:

Xu Cheng is really a person who is suitable for quarreling with her.

This person was not normal from the beginning.

Otherwise, who would fall at her feet and give her a big gift the first time they meet?

Who would tell a half-finished alien story at the tense moment when lurking and waiting for the sleepwalker!

What a funny person.

Luo Chen didn't know that when she spent an afternoon sitting in the police station with Xu Cheng and finished the entire specialty gift package, a sneaky person appeared at her door again to steal things.

However, these gifts have to be inspected and verified by the enhanced security forces around her home.

"What is it this time?" The soldier who was ambushing at the door of Luo Tan's house took a large bag, opened it and checked it while asking.

"A few books."

"Books? These are rare things."

"My daughter also had that cosmetic surgery. She couldn't recognize me and her father before, but she recovered this time... My whole family has no way to repay you, but we don't have anything new to give you, and giving money would be too obvious. So I thought of a few books I collected at home, and I hope you will like them."

The soldier nodded in understanding, and then placed the bag that had passed security inspection at the door of Luo Chen's house.

The woman walked out and ran into another person walking towards her stealthily.

"You are here too..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

The woman thought that giving something as a gift to a benefactor was a very competitive thing.

…

When Luo Chen returned home, she saw a large bag placed at the door of her house. The bag was held square by the extremely angular contents.

What is this?

Luo Tan looked inside.

How many books are there?

She said sadly, "Does it mean that after traveling to the stars, I still have to live and learn until I die?"

But when she saw the words on the cover, she couldn't help but smile.

Written prominently on the cover was the phrase: Five Thousand Years of Interstellar History.

What is this? This is a history book!

Although the interstellar communication network is extremely advanced, surveillance is also advanced. She is often worried that her abnormal identity will be discovered because the questions she searches are too stupid, so she tries to avoid using search engines.

This means that even after being in the interstellar space for such a long time, she is still completely illiterate about history and geography!

It would be great to have this set of books. She won't be out of place because of being too ancient anymore!
