Under the Deep Sea (2)
Can't see or hear clearly.
The shadows in the dream were too hazy, and even the word "send away" seemed like conjecture from the depths of my mind.
Shi Jianxia gasped for breath and returned to the sea like a stranded fish. Fear and dread surged up at the same time, and his back was soaked.
Gongye Jiwang, who was about to cover her with a thin blanket, was startled and whispered, "What's wrong? Did I wake you?"
He and Bai Xiaojiu had just returned from the hospital cafeteria after having lunch. When he entered the room, he didn't know that Shi Jianxia had fallen asleep, so he didn't deliberately control the volume.
Shi Jianxia had not yet recovered from the suffocating feeling of oppression in the dream. She subconsciously grabbed Gongye Jiwang's hand, which was stretched out to check the temperature of her forehead. She used astonishing strength and did not say a word.
Her forehead was covered in cold sweat, her face was incredibly pale, her lips were almost bloodless, and her unfocused gaze was fixed on a certain point in front of her. Her mind was obviously still lost in another world.
Gongye Jiwang realized something was wrong and let her pinch his wrist. He stuffed the thin blanket in his other hand onto Bai Xiaojiu, who had come closer. He patted her back gently and soothingly, "Did you have a nightmare?"
Bai Xiaojiu hugged the blanket and muttered softly, "She must have been too busy lately. Those people from the Zerg Investigation Department and the military are simply treating her like a donkey."
The lab where the Higanbana was discovered wants her to go take a look, while the plan to eliminate it needs her to sit in and give targeted advice, and she also needs to provide star cores to the federal laboratory for research...
Xia Yuanji hasn't woken up yet, and she's worried, so she comes to check on him every day. It would be strange if she isn't tired.
Shi Jianxia gradually calmed down, raised his hand and pinched his brow, then said hesitantly, "I think I dreamed about something that happened when I was a child."
She couldn't be sure whether the things in the dream happened in her childhood, or whether they were just fantasies that had arisen recently due to the doctor's words.
From her perspective in the dream, she was probably only a few months old or even less than a year old at the time. She was not old enough to remember anything and it was unlikely that she would remember what happened at that time.
"Things from childhood?" Gongye Jiwang asked curiously.
He didn't know the specific content of the dream, but from Shi Jianxia's previous state, he could guess that it was not a good thing.
Shi Jianxia closed his eyes tightly and said, "Well, it seems to be related to my mother."
Gongye Jiwang pushed aside a strand of her sweat-soaked hair and said, "Major General Xia must know something. Don't worry, just wait until he wakes up and ask him."
Recently, Xia has been running around in several places, including the Zerg Investigation Office, Linhai Isolation Station, and the hospital, and he is very busy.
Gongye wanted to help, but also knew that she was indispensable for those things, so he tried his best to make nourishing and nutritious meals for her every day. However, she always made do with nutrient solution, not leaving herself any time to rest.
Shi Jianxia nodded.
Gongye Jiwang said, "Xiaojiu and I have just discussed this. Major General Xia will be guarding this place for the time being. I will go with you to carry out the mission tomorrow to prevent you from pretending to obey and not getting enough rest."
Bai Xiaojiu looked over coldly and said, "I can go too."
Gongye Jiwang did not respond.
Shi Jianxia smiled and said, "You can take turns."
Bai Xiaojiu's eyebrows immediately danced with joy, "That's a deal, I'm almost getting moldy lately."
He hadn't played outside seriously since he arrived at the capital planet. Before, he was afraid that the doctor would do something bad to him, so he could only stay at home and play games. Now he had to take care of Xia Yuanji and was reluctant to leave him to others to watch over him. He stayed here all day long, and he was really about to grow mushrooms.
After chatting for a while, the oppressive feeling brought by the dream gradually subsided. Shi Jianxia left Chang Xi, Cheng Huang and other boys to accompany Bai Xiaojiu, while he and Gongye Jiwang returned to the Nixie dormitory because of tomorrow's mission.
Bai Xiaojiu took out the supreme edition game console that Gongye Jiwang had given him, called his friends in the group, and prepared to go to the next dungeon.
Cheng Huangzai has been hanging out with him recently. At first he watched him play games, and later he played with him. Now he is almost an internet addict.
-
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The two of them walked in the community park, not saying anything, just strolling quietly. The atmosphere did not feel awkward, but rather there was a sense of tranquility and peace, and they felt relaxed for no reason.
Gongye Jiwang looked at the two shadows on the cobblestone path, sometimes leaning against each other and sometimes separating, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
He was about to say something when he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from somewhere in the flower bed. He frowned and looked over: "Who is it?"
Mu Shaoqi was pushed by Baili Xuanyao and fell out of the bushes in a mess. He landed on his butt and entered the sight of the two men, with one of his legs still raised in a kicking posture.
Baili Xuanyao, who was hiding behind the flowers, blinked, and before he was exposed, he quickly hid behind a big tree nearby, preparing to slip away "unnoticed".
How could Mu Shaoqi let him go? He immediately shouted, "Baili! Didn't you say you would take me to see the world? Why are you running away?"
Baili Xuanyao paused in his trot with his back bent and glared at him unhappily. He knew very well the principle of using deception in war, and did not reveal himself to Mu Shaoqi's words. Instead, he quickened his pace and trotted away.
But after running a few meters, he bumped into the Que Jinghong sisters who had recently moved in.
Que Zhaoying was the most mischievous, deliberately raising her voice and saying, "Baili, where are you going with your sneaky look? Weren't you looking for Gongye this afternoon? He's right in front of us right now, why are you running?"
Baili Xuanyao: "..."
Que Jinghong pursed her lips and smiled softly, showing no intention of helping him out.
On a balcony on a floor ahead, Bai Qiqi rested her chin on her hand, watching the excitement. "I said we were done watching over here, but those two guys, Baili Xuanyao and Mu Shaoqi, insisted on going down to join in the fun. Now they've been caught, right?"
Jiang Yingdu was playing Go with Jun Xiaoyi when he heard this and said casually, "The Lianwu Forum has built a high-rise bet on the current relationship between Gongye and Xia Xia. They've become the leaders of their CP fan base, and they're fighting over it every day on the forum."
Bai Qiqi was speechless. "I'm free. I have to double the amount of training for Mu Shaoqi later."
Zhuang Baiyu, who was fiddling with the sniper scope, observed a three-second silence for Mu Shaoqi, and then shared the sugar-eating building he created in the forum with Gongye Jiwang.
Back in the park, Shi Jianxia watched Mu Shaoqi swiftly get up from the ground to catch Baili Xuanyao, and asked curiously, "What are they doing so late at night? Is there anything going on nearby?"
Gongye Jiwang saw the message pop up on the virtual screen of the intelligent brain, and the corners of his eyes curved slightly. He replied appropriately, "Maybe they have nothing better to do than eat. I'll ask them later."
Shi Jianxia said thoughtfully, and when he reached the door of his house, he heard Gongye Jiwang say that he was going to find Baili Xuanyao, and reminded him, "Don't stay out too late, you still have a mission tomorrow."
After she finished speaking, she happened to yawn.
She was too tired, otherwise she would have liked to join in the fun.
Gongye Jiwang nodded and said yes, his tone gentle, "I'll be back soon."
Shi Jianxia didn't say much, yawned and went back to his room to sleep.
Gongye Jiwang closed the door of the entrance hall, turned around and was met with a row of gossipy eyes, and immediately twitched the corner of his mouth.
Mu Shaoqi pinched his throat and said, "I'll be back soon."
"Gongye, you're amazing! You're living in someone else's house so quickly!"
Gongye Jiwang: "..."
He walked over quickly, grabbed Mu Shaoqi and Baili Xuanyao by the collars, one on each side, and easily pulled them into the elevator. He also said to the few people standing outside who had also come to join in the fun, "It's been a while since I've been to the training ground. Do you want to come?"
Everyone quickly retreated ten meters and shook their heads.
Gongye Jiwang smiled and said, "Come along. We're all free anyway. If anyone doesn't come, I'll go to the forum and call them a wimp."
Everyone: “…”
Mu Shaoqi covered his collar with his backhand and muttered softly, "Does Xia Xia know that you are so violent?"
Gongye Jiwang let go of his hand and calmly adjusted his sleeves. "She likes me no matter what I do."
Everyone: “…”
It felt like something was forced into my mouth. I didn't want to swallow it, but I couldn't spit it out either.
The next morning, Shi Jianxia looked suspiciously at the bruised military cadets, then at the refreshed and elegant Gongye Jiwang. While no one was paying attention, he poked him on the arm and asked in confusion, "What were they doing last night?"
Gongye Jiwang replied calmly, "You were caught as a thief, weren't you?"
Shi Jianxia: “?”
