Pei Xiqing heard a rare hint of helplessness in his words. She hooked her finger under his chin, leaned closer and asked, "Are you afraid of you, or this place? I think I heard something in your words... Do you blame me?"
"No."
The man stripped off her wet clothes.
Holding her slender waist, his eyes were as mysterious and deep as the seabed. No matter how many storms there were, he could still remain calm and composed. He said, "Now that we're here, there's no turning back."
"When you were about to take all the crystal cores in front of everyone, did you ever think of retreating?"
He chuckled.
Although he didn't want Pei Xiqing to be involved, she came anyway.
"No."
"Then don't ask me again."
Pei Xiqing played with the hot spring water and deliberately splashed it on the man, but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her hard, causing her to fall over.
Duan Xiaolin pinched her face and looked at it carefully for a moment.
Pei Xiqing asked, "What are you looking at?"
"You're getting better and better."
Pei Xiqing's face had already turned red from the intoxication of the hot spring.
Hearing this, she pulled his hand down: "You are becoming more and more disobedient."
Duan Xiaolin raised his eyebrows: "I'm not obedient?"
Pei Xiqing tapped his lips. "You're hiding everything, forcing people to guess. You're so rude when it comes to getting the crystal core. Can't you just go to them privately and ask if they'll give it to you? You've fallen out with everyone. What are you going to do in the future?"
"Ask privately?" He pondered this question and asked, "What if they don't give it to me?"
"If you don't give it to me, I'll just use courtesy first and then force. They're definitely too embarrassed to bring it out in public if they're hiding the nucleus, so what's the harm in robbing them?"
He was amused, "It seems my baby is even more ruthless than me."
"Why do you say that?" She looked up in confusion.
"If you really do what you say, there will be no one left alive in the base."
"What do you mean by that...ah?!" Pei Xiqing asked, but before she could get an answer from the man, she was choked by the hot spring water and was dragged into the water by the man the next second.
The surface of the water was shaking constantly due to the man's actions.
The night was still long, and the hot spring was scorching hot, but the temperature outside suddenly dropped.
Fu Yan was in his office, staring at the crystal core at hand, and had not slept all night.
…
Pei Xiqing was awakened in the morning by the sound of a horn and a slightly noisy horn outside.
I rubbed my eyes and crawled out from under the quilt. Just as I touched the phone next to the pillow, I heard what seemed like a team running past the front of the building, shouting slogans, as if they were doing morning exercises.
She almost forgot that this was not a village, nor was it the third base where each official was assigned an area and residence.
It is a family building very close to the military headquarters.
She only found out about this last night when she came back from the hot springs. This was where officials and their families lived.
It is surrounded by barbed wire and the military dormitory building is just a few steps away.
The exterior of this headquarters is a bit surprising, but the sense of technology inside the house is definitely high-tech.
I heard that this was a deserted island before.
The construction on the island was very backward, but demolishing these squares would affect the foundation and the island, so these squares were left there and consolidated and renovated, and later a military base and various skyscrapers were developed on the other side of the island.
If we talk about the headquarters center, it is actually here.
It seems ordinary, but it is actually very profound.
She stretched, got up, cooked a pot of eggs, fed seven or eight to Xiaobai, and ate two herself. Just as she sat down, someone knocked on the door.
Long Yan came in and saw her and Xiao Bai eating boiled eggs. He quickly pulled her aside and said, "Let's go to the headquarters restaurant for breakfast. They have a great breakfast there, including any seafood you want. Why are you staying at home to eat two boiled eggs?"
Pei Xiqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I don't know. If I knew, I would have taken Xiaobai there a long time ago."
"You can go, but Xiaobai can't."
"Why?"
"Look at Xiaobai's size. Which dog is as big as him? We're lucky to be able to bring him in. If we take him out, I'm afraid everyone outside will be scared to death. They'll think a parasite has invaded our headquarters."
"Hahahaha." Pei Xiqing laughed, "Brother Duan said last night that he wanted to send it to the army and let Ling Lang take it to continue training."
Long Yan: "Join the army? That's fine, but the military dogs there aren't as big as Xiaobai."
"No, it doesn't bite. As long as it doesn't kill the parasite with one bite, nothing serious will happen. Brother Duan has already reported it." Pei Xiqing touched Xiaobai: "It seems to have a number now."
"That's fine." Long Yan said, "After you and Brother Duan left the conference room last night, I was busy and didn't have time to pay attention to you. Come on, come with me to the restaurant now."
"good."
Pei Xiqing stood up and said, "Then Xiaobai can stay at home for now. I'll go pack some bones for him."
After changing into a set of casual clothes, Pei Xiqing subconsciously put on a three-piece suit as soon as he arrived at the base.
Jacket, hat, and trousers.
Neither is indispensable.
Only a pair of eyes were exposed.
