Chapter 20

When Chu Ci asked these two questions, his tone was serious, like an obedient student who was still studying.

However, the more this happened, the more Chai Yuening didn't know how to explain this misunderstanding to this alien who lacked basic common sense in this regard.

It's not because I can't explain it, but I feel that it will be embarrassing after explaining it clearly.

You know, Jing Mu who lives next door knows that this place is not a romantic place.

People who come here don't need to be lovers at all, let alone cultivate any relationship. They just need to lie down in the bathtub and the lights flash, and they can enjoy themselves in time.

Whether we can meet again later depends on fate.

From Youlan's point of view, the two of them spent the night here, and they were both wrapped in only the terry bathrobes specially prepared for the "convenience" of the guests in the guest room. It was obvious that something had happened.

Although it is true that nothing happened to them, and it is impossible for anything to happen, but considering that they still need to continue to live in this place and continue to receive Ulan's help before they can get supplies.In order to avoid unnecessary embarrassment, Chai Yuening thinks that it is best for Chu Ci not to understand some things.

So, after thinking about it, she finally said only one sentence: "Youlan is not a serious person, and she can't say anything serious. No matter what she says, just pretend you didn't hear it."

"Not a decent person?" Chu Ci didn't seem to understand Chai Yuening's words, "She is helping you."

"Yes, I am very grateful. Our team has always maintained a cooperative relationship with her." Chai Yuening got up and walked to the table, poured himself a cup of hot water, and continued, "But seriously, if the Chief Sheriff of District [-] is a dry In fact, she will definitely be the one who enters the detention center most often in the seven districts."

As Chai Yuening said, she lowered her head and blew on the steaming glass, turned around, leaned her back against the wall, and casually mentioned the past: "You forgot, she sent you in back then."

Chu Ci: "Remember."

Chai Yuening nodded with satisfaction: "In this world, very beautiful people often have a mouth full of nonsense. Smart people should go in one ear and out the other, as if someone farted in their ears."

After all, she unconsciously glanced at Chu Ci.

This little alien is very beautiful. On the surface, it looks harmless to humans and animals and is petite and weak. In fact, it is full of secrets that people can't guess.

Truth is indeed truth, and it really applies to everything.

Such a thought flashed through Chai Yuening's mind.

The next second, Chu Ci lowered his eyelashes quietly, as if he was somewhat unhappy.

The swing slowly stopped shaking.

Chai Yuening couldn't help being stunned.

She didn't know if there was anything on her face at the moment of wild thinking, but she found her door inexplicably at that moment of guilt.

Chai Yuening was at a loss blowing the hot water in his hand, his gaze wandering around in the guest room which was much more spacious than his home.

After a brief embarrassment, she walked forward with a cup in her hand: "Drink some water."

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, and didn't look at Chai Yuening, but quietly looked at the water glass that was handed to him.

After two or three seconds of silence, she pursed her lips and took the glass with both hands.The water in the cup is moderate in temperature, does not burn your mouth, and is comfortable to hold in your hand.

Chu Ci bowed his head and took two sips, then silently held it in the palm of his hand.

The warm air floated upwards, before it could touch anything, it dissipated again.

Chai Yuening moved a bench and sat down opposite the swing.

She was a little bit taller than Chu Ci, but sitting on the small bench at the moment she fell a lot lower.

She raised her head slightly, looked at Chu Ci, and asked softly: "Actually, you want to say something to me, right?"

A fleeting panic flashed in Chu Ci's eyes.

Chai Yuening saw her fingers holding the water glass a little harder than before at that moment.

"I know, you have something to say to me, even though you haven't said anything now, you are still hesitating, and you are afraid of something, but you have this idea, which means telling me these words is the hope in your heart " Chai Yuening said, "Facing your own heart, make your own choices, trust those who are willing to believe, those things that weigh on you, someone will share them for you."

At this point, she saw that Chu Ci did not answer, so she continued: "A person's strength is limited, no matter what, it should not be undertaken by one person, didn't you educate me last night? As the captain, I always wanted to leave my teammates to try my own life, but in the end I was the one who was rescued by my teammates.”

As Chai Yuening said, she smiled embarrassedly: "So, I realized my mistake and decided to face it with my teammates no matter what happens."

"You...do you still see me as a teammate now?" Chu Ci couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"Otherwise? In order for the base to admit that you belong to our team, I have signed a letter of responsibility. If one day you behave abnormally, I will be responsible." Chai Yuening said seriously, "But I believe in you, no matter you Where did you come from, what was it, what is it now, and what will it become in the future, as long as you still recognize me as the captain, you are my partner who can give my life.”

As Chai Yuening said, she bent her eyebrows and asked, "What about you? In your eyes, am I still your captain?"

The moment the voice fell, there was a glimmer of light hidden in Chu Ci's eyes, which no one could see.

She was still silent, but she tapped the ground lightly with her toes, and the swing swayed slightly again.

To Chai Yuening, it wasn't that there was no response, and the silence didn't last too long.

Chu Ci said softly: "Have you thought about handing me over to the base research center?"

Chai Yuening pondered for two seconds, and replied honestly: "Thinking about it, but it's not fair to you."

Chu Ci: "However, in the face of greater interests, the fairness that only belongs to a different species is not worth mentioning at all."

"I'm short-sighted, and I can't see things that are too far away." Chai Yuening took a deep breath and sighed, "I just know that I have no power and shouldn't decide where you go...at least I can't do it myself, I don't allow it I'll send you to that place myself."

"Why? I'm not really a human being."

"Maybe it's selfishness." Chai Yuening smiled self-deprecatingly, got up and stretched, and said seriously, "I am just an ordinary person, and the execution gun is aimed at others. I can still tell myself that all this It's all for the safety of more people, but if it's aimed at the people I care about... It's really, really hard for me to be a bystander. Even if someone tells me that the people I want to protect with all my life, maybe only a thousand There is a one-in-one probability that I can retain my self-awareness, and I don't want to give up... What if, what if there is a miracle?"

Chu Ci looked up at Chai Yuening: "This is the first time I've heard someone say that."

Chai Yuening asked with a smile: "You used to hear what people said?"

Chu Ci was silent for two seconds, then said lightly: "I don't..."

Chai Yuening answered first: "You forgot!"

Chu Ci was stunned for a moment, seeing Chai Yuening's eyes smiling, he couldn't hold back the corner of his mouth slightly for a moment.

She whispered, "I didn't lie to you before."

"Huh?" Chai Yuening was a little overwhelmed by the endless words.

Chu Ci: "After waking up from the foggy area, I really don't remember anything. I'm not lying to you."

Chai Yuening: "Then you..."

Chu Ci: "It was only after I got drunk that day that I realized that I might be different from everyone else."

Chai Yuening: "That day."

Chu Ci nodded.

Chai Yuening thought for a while, and asked cautiously: "What about now, do you remember anything?"

This question obviously kept Chu Ci silent for a long time.

Chai Yuening waited for a while, and seeing that she didn't want to say it, she smiled indifferently: "If it's not convenient for you to say it, don't tell me. Whenever you want to say it, I'll listen."

"I remember some bits and pieces..." Chu Ci said, and smiled with his eyebrows bent, "It's not important."

Chai Yuening looked at Chu Ci for a long time, then nodded solemnly: "En."

She thought she was quite happy now.

She chose to believe Chu Ci's words, believed that Chu Ci's arrival was a coincidence, and believed that she had never been calculated or used.

As for the other unknowns, although she was very curious, she really didn't want to delve into it.

Because everyone has secrets, and everyone is entitled to hide their secrets, and anyone who tries to touch them is a kind of arrogance.

If one day, Chu Ci is willing to take the initiative to tell her, she will be happy to listen and keep it a secret.

She hoped that day would come.

The days of eating and drinking on Youlan territory can be considered leisurely and comfortable.

The waiters of the hotel would come regularly to deliver meals every day, and the little girl who lived next door had a good time together, and the originally depressed mood seemed to be relieved a lot.

The black market in District Seven was as lively as ever.

The bar, K hall and hotel under Youlan's name still have very good business.

No matter what happened outside, there were always people enjoying the pleasure of drunkenness and death in the feasting and feasting.

Every time Chai Yuening opened the door and saw someone passing by with arms crossed, she would suspect that Youlan would be so busy with "business" that she would forget her instructions.

However, old partners are still reliable at critical moments.

On the third night of staying in the Seventh District, an extremely expensive large military armored vehicle that is impossible for ordinary people to obtain was parked on the right side of the hotel gate, so imposing that anyone passing by could not help but look at it A few glances.

After three days, Chai Yuening saw Youlan again, in front of this car.

Before she even had time to say hello, a car key was stuffed into her hand.

"All the things you want are in the back of the car. I'll make an IOU for you. It's enough for you to pay back for several years." Youlan paused as he spoke, and turned his eyes away unconsciously. So pay me off before anything goes wrong."

Holding the car keys, Chai Yuening was a little dumbfounded for a moment.

In order not to miss anything, she got into the back cabin and looked around, and jumped down after confirming that it was correct.

Youlan stood aside with folded arms: "Can you drive this car? It's not the same as your broken car. I can't find anyone who dares to be your driver."

Chai Yuening: "I've seen someone drive it before, so I know a little bit. Try it out and you'll be familiar with it."

Youlan: "..."

Chai Yuening: "Thank you."

Youlan: "How long?"

Chai Yuening: "It's so late now, let's go tomorrow morning."

Youlan was silent for a moment, sighed softly, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I wish you peace."

"Yeah." Chai Yuening nodded, "It's hard life, I will definitely pay you back the money."

"Let's not talk, your little one is watching from behind. I think she is very dull, and I think she has been frightened for the past two days. You can comfort and comfort her while there is still one night." You Lan said, moving closer to Chai Yuening's ear Pan, said in an ambiguous tone, "The lantern in the bathtub has three light effects to choose from. The atmosphere is very good and the praise rate is very high. You must try it."

"..." Chai Yuening choked for a moment, before she could figure out how to explain, Youlan had already left first.

Seeing Youlan's leaving figure, Chai Yuening couldn't help but gasped.

After regaining her senses, she walked towards the hotel.

Standing by the revolving glass door, Chu Ci, who was waiting for her, suddenly asked, "What did Boss You tell you? You seem to be... facing an enemy?"

Chai Yuening waved her hand: "It's not all about repaying debts."

"Why are you blushing?" Chu Ci's eyes were sharp, and his tone fluctuated slightly compared to usual.

"Is there?" Chai Yuening touched her face in surprise, as if... she really felt a little hot.

"She suddenly got very close to you and said something to you, and you started to blush."

"...You read it wrong." She said, and walked into the hotel without looking back.
