Chapter 129 Chapter 129 Who is the variable?
The reaction of this second male lead is really not right.
The disguise he is wearing now should be able to make the other person empathize with himself at the beginning of the end of the world. Why did Lu Huai look at him and then turn around and leave?
To him, these foolish little world figures were merely tools he used to obtain what he desired. Yet, why was this time so unusual? He suddenly felt concerned, and inexplicably resentful.
Xie Zeyu bit his lip, and his canine teeth put great pressure on his lips, almost making the already pale lips paint that was supplemented with blood as a color.
It was rare for him to review what he did wrong at the beginning of crossing into the small world.
To sum up, thinking that maybe Lu Huai was a little more handsome than expected, the colors on him were too exaggerated, he could hardly control his excessive attention to him.
The more I recall, the more I cannot suppress the image lingering in my head.
It's really scary. It turns out that some people can easily break into other people's minds even without being deliberately remembered. They are like bandits, unreasonable and difficult to restrain.
Lu Huaisheng's... rosy lips, jade-white skin, and a nearly flawless face, a face truly worthy of the ultimate beauty. Yet, a teardrop mole at the corner of his eye accentuated his allure, and a coolness between his brows befitting his supernatural powers shone through. His aura was both profoundly contradictory and incredibly alluring.
Even if the other party is just the second male lead who will be gloriously offline later, how can he attract such a person?
Moreover, just now, the other handsome young man who looked gentle beside Lu Huai gave people the feeling that he was especially like the original protagonist in this plot line.
Her attitude towards Lu Huai didn't seem to match what the strategy system said, "very cold due to misunderstanding." In any case, there was a kind of excessive attentiveness.
Even as a stranger meeting them for the first time, you may have a more emotional judgment.
Like they are a couple or something.
Furthermore, there was an inexplicable tacit understanding between Lu Huai and the team leader, Jian Sui'an, who was supposed to be on good terms with Jun Mo. On the other hand, Jun Mo and Jian Sui'an, when they occasionally exchanged glances, were met with a cold, warlike gaze, not at all like two people on the same page.
There are so many unexpected elements, and the emotional connections originally written in the plot are not achieved, which is really strange.
He suspected that there was something wrong with this overly stunning second male lead, and he happened to be the target of his "saving supporting character system", so everything was related to him.
But Lu Huai couldn't even remember what he looked like at this moment. As a person from another world, he couldn't let others notice his inexplicable attention and possessiveness towards strangers.
So Xie Zeyu had to postpone his initial swift attack plan and decided to establish his own personality first. He gritted his teeth and spent a lot of money to buy a "Love at First Sight Atmosphere Max" tool from the system, ready to fight again next time.
And Lu Huai did not discover the existence of this person in the plot line.
The reason why he turned around and left was that he remembered a rare and clear description in the book and began to doubt the identity of this person.
"The fall of H City, as reported through video, has drawn significant attention from everyone at the base. However, by this time, no survivors have visited the gates of this largest base."
"Humanity has fallen into an extremely long winter."
What you worry about will come true. This person is a variable, and no one knows what impact he will have on the subsequent progress.
He concluded that the most important thing to survive in a world of punishment is not to let freedom go off track. Otherwise, when the power of the plot is completely out of control, the future results will become even more unpredictable and full of crises.
Therefore, avoiding trouble was also something he needed to do. Lu Huai always knew what was more important to him. He was wary of these variables, not because he hated the otherworldly visitors from higher dimensions like himself.
So sometimes he may not be able to explain the subtle feelings he has towards these people in the small world. He cannot completely detach himself from them as he originally wanted to do by leaving.
Just like in my original world, as an actor, there was no way to guarantee that I could quickly get out of the role after performing it.
Because investment also requires a price to be paid, sometimes even he himself can't tell whether he is in the play or outside the play.
Lu Huai couldn't explain it clearly... If those people who made him feel familiar really had some connection before, would his decision be affected by emotions?
"Huaihuai, you look a little strange... Is there anything I can help you with?"
0359 Lu Huai seemed absent-minded since he walked out of the east gate. After walking to a secluded corner, he was silent and seemed to be thinking about something.
I was afraid of interrupting his train of thought and didn't dare to interrupt.
But as the host thought about it, he suddenly frowned, feeling that he might encounter some difficulties.
"It's okay, Xiaojiu. I'm just sorting out some recent clues. My mind felt a bit chaotic just now, struggling with all the information and confusion for a while, but I feel much better now."
Lu Huai gave a soothing smile. In this world, his use of mental power reached perfection.
Specifically, 0359 felt a gentle big hand holding him up, and then another hand rubbed his head. It felt very comfortable, and made him relax so much that he surrendered directly, his little wings drooped, and he sat directly on the palm of his hand.
"Well...Okay Huaihuai" it collapsed and moaned.
But it knew in its heart that Lu Huai was worried. And it didn't know if it was an illusion, but it felt that after it came back, Huai Huai's attitude towards it had changed slightly.
But it also hid something from Huaihuai, so Huaihuai no longer trusts it so much...which is understandable actually.
0359 feared that every word it uttered was being controlled by the higher-ups, and it didn't want to one day become a medium for the Samsara Company to harm its host. If such a thing were to happen, it would willingly be destroyed.
So instead of doing this, it is better to turn a deaf ear and continue to be that carefree optimist.
But it suddenly wanted to cry very much, and curled up in the palm woven by Lu Huai's mental power, pressing its spherical body very tightly against him, as if using all its strength to absorb the false warmth.
Lu Huai seemed to have noticed something and indulged the little ball's attachment.
But he slowly got up and walked towards his residence.
I met Luo Qixiu on the way. The woman smiled as gently as ever: "Good afternoon, Xiao Lu!"
We just met yesterday and met again today. It's really fate.
Lu Huai also greeted her and said, "What a coincidence."
But the other party seemed to have something else to do. After a few pleasantries, he hurried away. Lu Huai then continued walking in the original direction.
But the moment he opened the door, he saw the tall man in the pink teddy bear apron looking at him stiffly.
Lu Huai’s heart:?
It wasn't until I looked behind him that I solved the case.
Jiang Fengnian did not have a shift today, so he cooked for everyone in the dormitory in advance.
As security grew tighter, the weather grew worse.
The opportunities to obtain supplies from the outside world have been greatly reduced. The ingredients that can be used for cooking and put into the pot are basically base assets exchanged for merits, including some vegetables and fruits cultivated with the assistance of weaker plant-based mutants.
He remembered that Lu Huai liked the chicken and cabbage soup he made the most.
But these days, livestock without mutations are extremely rare and difficult to find. Jiang Fengnian went to great lengths, even exchanging several valuable non-attribute crystal cores with others, to finally secure a shrunken, ordinary poultry.
But before I could create any surprise, I heard the sound of facial recognition passing.
"Welcome back, please come in."
Jiang Fengnian had just started to have a bad feeling when he saw the person he wanted to hide walk in so openly, especially in such a simple resettlement house.
His eyes were fixed on the living animal in his hands, which was still struggling and making shrill "gurgling" sounds in its throat.
He, Ji, and Lu Huai didn't know who was looking at whom, but the time in the small kitchen at that moment was petrified.
"Why did you come back so early today?"
Jiang Fengnian is usually very emotionally stable, but sometimes he really feels like crying but has no tears.
When people feel embarrassed, they usually laugh first.
He used the back of his knife to smack the chicken until it was dizzy. If it was a little more obedient, he could control it in his hand to ensure it wouldn't wander around and cause a commotion. Then he gave Lu Huai a helpless smile.
The combination of the cool guy, whose well-defined muscles cannot be concealed even through an apron, and the dishonest chicken, although the styles are a bit disconnected, is indeed full of life and lively.
It is indeed a bit like the "male mom" that was popular on the Internet in the past.
Lu Huai couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Pfft!"
He walked back to the small living room, put down his bag, and then came to Jiang Fengnian.
She tiptoed quietly and fluttered into his warm heart like a cloud.
"After training, I heard that a survivor had arrived, so I went to the east gate to see what was happening."
"I've returned without any further arrangements. But it seems the leader needs to discuss something with Sui'an, so he might be back a little later."
"But if I hadn't come back so early, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known about such a big surprise in advance."
"Where did our Chef Jiang get such fresh ingredients? It must have taken a lot of effort."
The other party guessed it right, but Jiang Fengnian didn't want them to feel burdened while enjoying it. And after all, why did he get a chicken instead of other livestock, including the following methods, why did he choose this relatively lighter taste.
Essentially, it's all for the person in front of you.
So he lied for once:
"That wasn't a big deal. Someone owed me a favor, and he wanted to return it. I saw he had this good stuff, so we agreed to give it to everyone."
"Oh~"
"That's quite a coincidence."
Lu Huai didn't know whether to believe him or not. The elongated ending tone and the laughing voice touched his heart.
The young man's eyes seemed to have eyeliner, and it was hard to imagine that the smooth and graceful lines were innate. Because of the difference in physique, when he looked up at you from below, the slanted and slightly hooked tail of his eye and the teardrop mole matched each other.
It was truly touching, and Jiang Fengnian thought of the word "foul".
Lu Huai felt that the person in front of him was really like a stupid goose. He was obviously not the cunning person like Jian Sui'an who said one thing to one person and another thing to another person. Yet he tried to imitate others and make up coincidences. It was really cute.
But it was hard to tell whether he believed it or not. In any case, Jiang Fengnian didn't dare to look at him anymore.
With a flick of his hand and a chop of his knife, the chicken died laughing in a dazed state.
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
Jiang Fengnian concentrated on what he was doing, and tilted his head towards the pool on the left.
Lu Huai immediately understood what he meant, that this meant he should choose the vegetables.
"I still remember when we were in the RV, I was also your helper, but the conditions are better now. Everything in your mouth tastes good."
"I suddenly realized that I haven't eaten compressed biscuits and canned food for a while."
Jiang Fengnian handled the chicken skillfully. The process of removing the skin, bones, and unwanted internal organs was very smooth, and there was almost no chance of blood splashing.
She even had enough energy to continue chatting and replied to Lu Huai's muttering: "Does it make you miss this?"
Lu Huai suddenly wanted to play a trick, so he walked up to his ear and said, "Then why don't you leave the delicious food you're going to make today for me and throw that thing to me?"
The warm and moist breath is long and fragrant. When it hits my ears, the strange sensation is particularly obvious in the dry air.
In addition, the tone was still a bit coquettish and joking. Lu Huai had been quiet for a long time, and the liveliness in his nature was deliberately suppressed. The agility at this moment presented an extremely interesting contrast.
Jiang Fengnian knew without even looking that his ears must be turning red.
But he couldn't indulge this little rascal, so he took the opportunity to laugh at him while the other party didn't notice the changes in his body.
Then he said something in a serious tone that made Lu Huai embarrassed:
"That's definitely not something I'm willing to do."
Combining with the dishes he got today, Lu Huai seemed to understand something and immediately slipped back to his original seat in silence.
Jiang Fengnian looked at him and found that his fair cheeks were also covered with a thin layer of red, as pretty as the morning glow in spring.
He suddenly wished that time could stop at this moment forever. In this time when it was just the two of them, without anyone disturbing them, it was like... a wanderer had found a place to live again.
His heart stayed here, and in his dreams, the beautiful young man built a new family with him.
He hadn't told them that he was actually an orphan, and unlike Jian Sui'an, who had gained and lost everything, he was the type who had never had anything. So this might also be a reason for wanting to get closer to him...
After learning about Lu Huai's ups and downs in life, I unconsciously paid more attention to him, watching him become better and better little by little, just like a jade that has been cleansed of its impurities and has been stripped of the outer shell that protects its fragile inner self.
I was afraid that after the other party joined the team based on his real strength, he would only shine brighter and brighter, and I would no longer stop for him.
But when Jiang Fengnian looked at the young man who was washing vegetables carefully, his eyes swept across the outline of the man, every inch of which aroused his love, and his heart softened.
He would rather see him grow up to be like an eagle soaring in the sky, free to do what he wants, rather than a canary trapped in a cage. And he could also quietly protect Lu Huai in this short life.
It seemed as if God had listened to his wish for the first time in a long time, as Jian Sui'an did not come back until almost eight o'clock.
At this time, the soup has been put on the keep warm setting.
Mo Chengze and they did not work in the same unit, and recently, perhaps because of Meng Jingtang's interference, even the difficulty of contacting them had increased a lot.
Perhaps in order to avoid greater risks, several people tacitly agreed not to contact each other frequently.
Therefore, the time Lu Huai and Jiang Fengnian spent alone was greatly extended. They talked a lot about what they had seen and heard in Meng Jingtang before. Perhaps because everyone was already at the base, it was not so awkward now. They also followed the other party's curiosity and revealed some of their past with Jun Mo.
At this moment, a man returned exhausted. The moment Lu Huai opened the door before him, the shadow on his body was dispelled by the light. The two-way line seemed to divide him into two halves, and finally he was completely covered by the warmth of the inner room.
"Hiss, it's so cold outside now."
"This damn weather is getting worse day by day."
Jian Sui'an took off the thick coat he was wearing and took the cup of hot water that Lu Huai had poured for him.
The two people's hands touched and then separated, but the feeling was repeatedly chewed over in one of their hearts.
Jian Sui'an took it and drank it all in one gulp.
I felt a warmth gradually nourishing my stiff and cold body. As I savored the smooth warmth just now, I suddenly felt much more comfortable and lighter.
"Thank you, Ah Huai!"
He thanked Lu Huai in a particularly sweet tone, but seemed to completely ignore Jiang Fengnian who was helping him hang his coat on the rack.
Lu Huai secretly laughed in his heart at this person's partiality, and he was probably going to be in trouble.
As expected, when the opening session came, Jiang Fengnian filled a big bowl for both him and himself, and Jian Sui'an happily took charge.
But this guy also knew who was the breadwinner, so he picked up all the leftovers with a joking smile.
Lu Huai also knew how much he ate, so he had already taken out some food and put it in a small bowl, so someone could happily inherit it.
After a few people finished their warm meal, they had to say what was stuck in their throats.
Jiang Fengnian asked a question that Lu Huai also wanted to ask: "Is there any new news?"
Jian Sui'an lowered his head, and when he looked down he could see his fists clenched and the veins on his forehead seemed about to burst.
The sky after the apocalypse turned gloomy early, and it was almost dark by 4 pm.
This also meant the crisis would extend over a longer period of time, as many of the ectomorphs were afraid of light and were only active at night. However, this evolved habit gave them night vision far sharper than many esperoids. Therefore, the base, like the villages in strange stories, minimized gatherings of esperoids at night.
If something goes against the norm, it basically means something big has happened.
Lu Huai also found a chair and sat down, looking at Jian Sui'an intently.
The captain of the psychic team, who had been so high-spirited during the day, was now practically choking with tears as he informed them of the news: "Just now, Commander Xiao summoned us over. Didn't I take the newcomer in for testing first?"
“When I arrived at the synagogue, I found the atmosphere there was very depressing.”
"Many familiar faces, including those from the Wang and Li families, have disappeared."
Lu Huai frowned, because these people also had some real power in the central government, and a bad guess arose in his mind.
"Did they leave the base? Taking our supplies with them."
"Um."
"I heard that food, weapons, and some newly developed anti-virus products were all stolen."
