Chapter 99
The past few days have been relatively peaceful, as the base has not been that busy. The two would sometimes meet, but it would be just that, and they would not do anything else.
Lin Han listened to He Yunting very much. After he said that, she wore gloves obediently, was careful in her behavior not to touch him, and wore clothes tightly when hugging.
The two of them didn't mention this matter for a few days, as if Lin Han was not curious at all and quietly accepted this fact.
All the people and research related to Gu Miao were destroyed by He Yunting. However, some samples could not match the names, and there was still no way to find the Omegas who had been used as experimental subjects and were missing.
Why was the experiment restarted three years later? Or were these Omegas the remnants of the last experiment and were simply found and used again?
But the good news is that Xu Zhiheng has been focusing on Qi Jiaze during this period, and his efforts have not been in vain. Qi Jiaze's recovery speed is getting faster and faster, and now he has reached the level where he can communicate normally with people very slowly.
Although his reaction was still slow, his words gradually became more coherent.
When He Yunting arrived at the laboratory, he saw Qi Jiamu, who was allowed to visit, trying hard to say something to his brother, while the other party was struggling to reply word by word.
He walked closer and heard Qi Jiaze say, "Brother, I'm fine."
He saw Qi Jiamu thanking Xu Zhiheng over and over again, and he could hardly say anything other than thank you, while the other party smiled faintly, as if the hard work day and night during this period was not worth mentioning.
It's hard to describe how he felt. When he thought that if he hadn't stopped Lin Han three years ago, she might be in this situation now, He Yunting's heart suddenly tightened and he felt uncomfortable.
"Thank you." He finally spoke and said to Xu Zhiheng.
It was obvious that Xu Zhiheng cared more about He Yunting's thanks. His tired face regained some spirit, but he could still see the weariness from the upside-down day and night. "Nothing."
Xu Zhiheng paused, wondering if he remembered a boy who was abandoned on Proton Star. He turned his head to glance at Qi Jiaze who was trying to speak.
After a while, he stood up, as if he wanted to say something to He Yunting with emotion, and stretched out his hand to shake his hand, but He Yunting dodged out of habit and took a step back to avoid him.
Xu Zhiheng saw that He Yunting was still wary of him, but he didn't feel embarrassed. He even smiled politely and said, "I'm sorry that you were misunderstood because of me and that you were on guard against me. I'm very sorry."
He Yunting didn't say anything, nor did he approach Xu Zhiheng again because of this sentence. He just nodded to show that he understood.
"Oh, right," He Yunting suddenly thought of something, "I have a question for Professor Xu."
Xu Zhiheng raised his head and waited for him to ask questions.
"Since you have researched this... do you know when his glands were damaged? Just make a simple inference."
Xu Zhiheng didn't expect him to ask this. His expression froze for a moment before he said, "It's been a few years."
"According to preliminary estimates, it will take at least two years."
"Thank you." He Yunting didn't ask any more questions and left the laboratory.
He originally wanted to go to the base, but it was getting late. Just as he was thinking about where to go, his communicator lit up.
Lin Han's voice sounded normal: "I'm off work, where are you?"
He Yunting told the truth.
"Are you...are you free?" Lin Han paused, "I want to use your aircraft."
Transportation in the core area is very convenient. If Lin Han asked to use a flying vehicle, it was probably because he wanted to go somewhere outside the core area, just like the last time he went to the zoo in Q area.
"have."
He Yunting thought about their current situation, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Do you want Lu Anhe to take you, or do you want me to come by myself?"
"It would be nice if you could come and keep me company." Lin Han's tone became lighter, and he said, "Change your clothes, don't wear a military uniform."
"good."
-
He Yunting didn't know that Lin Han came to this kind of place.
This was not his first time coming to the civilian area, but it was the first time he came here with a different mood than before.
"Today is my mother's death anniversary," Lin Han said naturally and calmly, "I want to come and see her."
"Take you with me."
Lin Han was wearing gloves, and even through a layer of silk cloth, he could still feel the warmth of He Yunting's palm.
He pulled He Yunting down from the aircraft, and the two of them took a detour before arriving at the grave of Lin Han's mother.
Even the cemeteries in civilian areas are more simple than those in the core areas, and there are not many people taking care of them. As long as you buy a tomb, you can be buried here, together with countless once ordinary but lively people.
There was no photo on the woman's tombstone, only an inscription with the date and the epitaph she had written for herself long ago.
"—Even if you come from despair, you must bring tenderness, hope, and love."
On it was written the beautiful handwriting of a woman, and next to the words was a white rose that was her favorite during her lifetime.
It will not wither, but will be quietly sealed in the tombstone of special material, quietly blooming, accompanying her in eternal sleep.
He Yunting looked at that sentence and was silent for a long time.
But in the end, she was unable to give up her despair and chose to leave after a long period of torment.
But fortunately, she still left behind her tenderness, hope, and love.
He Yunting's eyes were gentle and he bowed deeply to her.
Lin Han smiled with his eyes curved, looked at his mother, and then looked at He Yunting.
He suddenly had an incredible feeling.
It was very strange. He never thought that he would bring He Yunting here.
Like some kind of ritual, when he saw He Yunting bowing deeply, he had so many things he wanted to tell him bit by bit.
It doesn’t matter that He Yunting doesn’t talk much, I can talk to him slowly.
"Mom said she didn't want to be buried in the core area." Lin Han said, "She said it was too crowded and too stuffy."
Some spoiled young masters in the core area are usually accustomed to calling her "mother", but Lin Han still has some habits from the common people and will call her "mom" very easily. In addition to respect, there is an inexplicable sense of closeness and intimacy.
He recalled bit by bit: "But she didn't stop me. She let me take the exam to the core area, saying that at least there, Omegas wouldn't be too excluded and would have a better life."
"She told me to do whatever I wanted, go wherever I wanted, and not to have any regrets about anything." Lin Han looked up. "Now that I think about it, I think I've always lived this way."
I tried driving a mecha, but after trying hard, I found that my body really couldn't keep up. However, in the end, I still did a job that I liked, so I have no regrets.
"Um."
He Yunting responded and looked at the face of the young man in front of him. It was almost the same as it was three years ago, still gentle and soft.
Fortunately he is okay.
Lin Han saw He Yunting raise his hand, as if he wanted to touch his face, but finally put it down because of many concerns.
He heard He Yunting say, "You can do whatever you want."
Lin Han's heart moved: "I'll take you to see where I used to live. It should still be there."
-
This place is naturally not as well organized as the core area. Even when they walk to places with fewer people, there will be idle Betas staring at them, or more directly, some Omegas wearing loose clothes leaning on the railings on the roadside, and seeing the tall and mysterious people coming, they may even want to come up and chat with them with a chuckle.
Fortunately, it was not far, and the two quickly arrived at the house where Lin Han once lived.
To He Yunting's surprise, this was a rare nice place in the civilian area.
The surrounding environment is not that bad. What's more rare is that compared to the noisy residential buildings, it is so quiet that it doesn't feel like a civilian area. It's more like the outer ring of the core area, and there are not many people to disturb you.
"I don't come here often, maybe once or twice a year." Lin Han said, "But the house was bought by my mother, and I'm not short of money, so I'll just keep it as a souvenir."
He Yunting remembered that Lin Han's mother had not gone out to earn a living to support herself and her son since she came here, but she had no financial concerns in any aspect. It seemed that she just wanted to escape from the core area and escape from her past nightmare.
Although Lin Han only comes occasionally, he asks people to clean the house regularly, so the house still looks tidy and clean.
"Bring Gululu over to have a look next time. There are also mecha models that I collected when I was a child in the room. I wonder if he will like them." Lin Han picked up a model and said.
He seemed to talk more than usual today, starting from his childhood, for example, he would cry for no apparent reason when he first went to school, and how he had been in the civilian area for so long and his mother was worried about Lin Han's safety, so she never let him go too far alone and would take him with her whenever she was free.
"Am I quite delicate?" Lin Han smiled halfway through the sentence. "My mother has never said that to me, but I always feel that I am quite delicate."
"Maybe it's because I've never suffered any hardship." He said to himself.
He Yunting listened to him quietly with a serious look in his eyes.
After a few minutes, Lin Han suddenly stopped, pursed his lips lightly, and called the other person's name.
"He Yunting." Lin Han touched his face with her gloved hand and asked casually, "The thing you don't want to talk about is about me, the Blood Burning Project, or my mother, right?"
"I can guess."
He Yunting was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything in the end.
"That's it, right?" Lin Han said calmly. "I've doubted it before. I clearly meet all the requirements, so why haven't I had any problems?"
"I don't mean to make wild guesses, but anyway..."
"I'm sure you won't forget me easily."
Lin Han looked up at him, even moving closer on purpose, creating the illusion that she could only rely on He Yunting: "You said the decision is in my hands. Well, I want to know now, okay?"
"Okay?" Every time Lin Han said these four words, it was clearly a normal discussion, but He Yunting could always hear it as a bit of a coquettish tone.
He saw that He Yunting's expression finally changed.
Before the other party could speak, Lin Han continued, "I know you don't want to tell me. But you have to know that I am different from before."
Lin Han moved closer, his breath brushing the side of He Yunting's face, close enough that he could bite his earlobe, and then at the moment their skin touched, he would know all the dusty past.
"You won't abandon me." Lin Han used an affirmative sentence, as if he was just reminding himself that this would never change.
"So I couldn't help it." He said, putting his arms around the other's neck.
"I can't just stay with you to the point like before."
"I can't help but kiss you, and I can't control my desire to get closer to you."
"If you want me to keep touching you through a layer of gloves, I can't help it."
Lin Han's eyes seemed a little red. It's not that he didn't know what he might know next. In fact, he was so nervous that his palms were sweating. Fortunately, he was wearing gloves, so He Yunting couldn't notice.
"I know I'm useless, please don't laugh at me."
"Just tell me, please."
-
"Have you made up your mind?" He seemed to be still hesitant and talked more than usual. He repeated what he said at the beginning, "All decisions are in your hands."
Lin Han opened her eyes wide and tried to hold back the tears that were about to fall, but she didn't know if she succeeded or not, and whether she looked ugly now.
"If possible, I hope you never know this."
Always live in the cleanest world and always face the sunshine.
He Yunting walked up to Lin Han step by step. He was much taller than the other person and surrounded Lin Han in his own shadow.
He only looked down at Lin Han for a moment, then stretched out his hand, supported the back of his head with his five fingers, and ran them through his hair.
He Yunting was very stupid before he recovered his memory.
I don’t even know how to talk to Lin Han nicely.
Not knowing that his inner thoughts had caused him misunderstanding, he slowly brought Lu An and the snacks hidden in his aircraft to please him, tentatively asking if he was no longer angry.
He wanted Lin Han to stop crying, and apologize helplessly like he did when he just came back from Proton Star, or subconsciously lean over and kiss away the other person's tears.
He himself does not have rich emotions, and most people have a cold and stereotyped impression of him, thinking that years of polishing have turned him into an icy weapon. Only when you get closer do you realize that he is still standing there, and his sincerity and honesty have never changed.
It's a pity that no one would approach him.
He used his other hand to take off Lin Han's gloves and then held Lin Han's five fingers tightly.
He knew that the other party would see those scenes, but he didn't know how Lin Han would feel after seeing them.
Lin Han's hair was soft and smooth. He Yunting half-forced Lin Han to his shoulders and buried his face in his arms.
He said, “Cry.”
The author has something to say: It was finally delayed until 521
