Chapter 104 sugar pear
Her fingertips pressed against her lips, just rubbed it lightly, and quickly retracted it, putting her back behind her.
Chu Chi looked at her intently.
Is this… a trial? She exposed such an important thing, did she trust me too much, or was she too disappointed in me?
No. 63 relies on her instincts to survive the fights again and again, but the past experiences are not enough for her to distinguish the thoughts surging in her heart.
She knows how to use the most complex weapons, she is good at the toughest tasks, she knows how to sneak in and kill with one blow, but she can’t read people’s hearts.
So complicated, yet so simple.
No. 63 stood stiffly in place, she wanted to say something, but she couldn’t say a word like a mute.
The thoughts became more and more chaotic, more and more chaotic, and even lost the rhythm with the heartbeat.
“…I.”
Word by word, I dug out from my heart with difficulty: “Chu Chisi, I won’t.”
“Well, good.” Chu Chi smiled suddenly, and the smile was fleeting, “Lizi, I believe in you.”
Believe or doubt.
Trust, or temptation.
Entangled, intertwined, intertwined, so many memories and emotions are mixed together, and the original appearance has long been lost.
Chu Chisi didn’t speak any more, she just stared at the computer screen quietly, the lines and columns of intricate codes were reflected in her pupils.
There was a very soft “click” behind him.
The door of the laboratory was quietly closed, and the place returned to silence. There were only neat documents and cold instruments around. She lowered her head slightly and buried herself back in her thoughts.
Jingfan is connected to a power supply not far away, and the blue light is like an ocean tide, quietly surging, as if it will never go out.
As if the other person never existed,
From beginning to end, there is only oneself here.
Chu Chisi didn’t look back, just buried himself between his knees, holding the crumpled corners of his clothes, his joints were slightly red. . . .
When we meet again, it’s been a long time.
Tang Yiqi and her adopted daughter, Tang Li, began to make frequent appearances in front of various publics, and the star title went up step by step, and finally landed on the “major general” star title.
Scholars from the Beimeng Academy of Sciences naturally don’t care much about this, but they can’t bear that there are so many young assistants in each laboratory, and they like to gossip a little or two in their spare time.
A short video was played on the light spot screen. In the dining room of the Beimeng Academy of Sciences, two fluffy heads gathered together and discussed something with great interest.
“Have you heard, the Admiral will come to the Academy of Sciences today, I want to meet by chance!” Someone whispered excitedly.
A friend next to me was drinking milk tea and said, “Admiral often comes here, it’s just a routine inspection.”
“You don’t know this, the major general is here too!”
The man raised his voice a little, and excitedly said to his friend, “She is really beautiful, tall and heroic, she looks so good…”
The friend sighed: “With so many medals and honors, you only see the face?”
The girl said: “I just love to see beautiful women. What’s wrong with such beautiful women, I’m sorry for their looks if I don’t look at them a few times.”
The friend helped her forehead and was too lazy to pay attention to her.
The two of them shouted excitedly and chatted lazily, completely unaware of a person walking quietly behind them.
The cold voice fell, with a straight look, old-fashioned: “Hello, two classmates.”
The two were stunned for a while, looking at the unfamiliar and somewhat familiar faces in front of them, the lively girl was sluggish for two seconds.
On the contrary, her friend was the first to react, quickly pushed the girl next to her, and said repeatedly, “Hello, academician!”
Chu Chisi nodded: “Well, good noon.”
She was wearing a white lab coat with the buttons tightly buttoned at the top, holding three lunch boxes in her hands, standing firmly beside them.
Only then did the lively girl react, stammering: “This…this, why are you here? Is there…what’s the matter?”
Chu Chisi said patiently: “First question, this is one of the restaurants of the Beimeng Academy of Sciences. I’m here to eat.”
She said: “Second question, may I ask, where did you buy your pudding?”
Two little assistants: “…”
There has always been a saying among the assistants of the Academy of Sciences that if you want to block the legendary Academician Chu, there are only two places to go.
The entrance of her laboratory, and the dining room.
Because this person’s work and rest time is extremely chaotic, and he is always absent-minded on weekdays. Unless necessary, he will never step out of the laboratory. Only near the meal time will it be possible to capture her figure.
“Huh? This coffee-flavored pudding?”
The lively girl stayed for a while, and then said quickly: “I bought it at the snack street outside the Academy of Sciences. If you want, I can give you the address.”
Chu Chisi’s eyes were calm, still with that ice cube face, and he just said “Oh” lightly: “No need, thank you.”
The two little assistants just watched the legendary boss take a few steps with admiration, but they didn’t think about it, the boss suddenly stopped and turned around and walked back.
Chu Chisi’s skin is very white, like enamel, and his voice is like a good porcelain, cold and clean: “By the way, there is something else I want to ask.”
“You said earlier… who is coming?”
“For the routine inspection this afternoon, I will go with Major General Tang Li, and take her to get acquainted with the members of the Academy of Sciences, as well as the internal structure and so on.”
Tang Yiqi hung up the communication, and as the light spot screen gradually dissipated, one of the parties was standing in front of the office.
She folded her arms, her posture was sloppy, and she was sorting out the silver jewelry on her cuffs and chest.
Tang Yiqi put his hands together and frowned:
“The person you are going to meet is very important. He is one of the top scholars in the Academy of Sciences. You must be polite and give them enough respect.”
The man let out an “oh” indifferently, fiddling with the cumbersome silver ornaments on his chest, and the bells in his hands shook softly and the sound was fine.
Tang Yiqi was not surprised by her appearance, so he could only sigh: “Tang Li, are you listening to me?”
Then the man raised his head, his light-colored pupils condensed slightly, deep and quiet, with a slightly alienated smile: “Of course, Admiral.”
Tang Li smiled, the smile not reaching the bottom of his eyes.
Whether it was being put on her head with metal by countless guards, kneeling in front of her with injuries all over her body, word by word during the negotiation, or when she resolutely used the word “pear” when changing her name, she always smiled like this.
Subtle and unpredictable.
This lunatic stepped on the mountain of blood and corpses, exhausted his calculations and strategies, and climbed up from the most filthy and lowly place step by step.
She holds power and status, and holds her own handle, and in just a few years, she has become an existence that cannot be easily destroyed.
You say she has ambitions, but she doesn’t seem to care about anything; but if you say she has no desires or desires, why should she risk her own life and take the status of an “adopted daughter”?
So for so many years, Tang Yiqi has not understood what she wants.
This knife, which I took pains to sharpen, is still too sharp in the end.
If there is no scabbard that can be retracted, no matter how easy the blade is, it can only be broken immediately.
“I have already agreed with the Academy of Sciences that you will come with me for the routine inspection this afternoon.”
Tang Yiqi said, “I will show you the people in the Academy of Sciences, so it will be easier to communicate in the future.”
She mentioned a few more words, but Tang Li still looked lazy, as if she hadn’t woken up, and yawned secretly.
Tang Yiqi: “…”
It’s really a headache.
Tang Yiqi hadn’t thought of it at this moment, and the things that gave her more headaches were yet to come:
It was agreed that we would go to the Academy of Sciences together in the afternoon, but Tang Li’s office was empty and she had long since disappeared.
After asking, I found out that this guy didn’t take Tang Yiqi’s reminder to heart at all, and just made a nonsense reason—
Went to the Academy alone.
Tang Yiqi listened to the report of the eyeliner, a blood stalk in his heart, stuck in the most critical position.
She rubbed her painful forehead and sighed: “What do you think Tang Li is doing at the Academy of Sciences?”
The eyeliners looked at each other blankly: “If you ask us, we don’t know either.”
Just when everyone was worried, there was another person who was also worried, and what was even worse, she didn’t know what she was worried about at all.
On the small clean table in the laboratory, there are three different boxes, all of which are Chu Chi Si’s favorite food, but she has no appetite.
“…”
Chu Chisi pursed his lips, fiddled with the food with a small spoon, turned it over and over, and finally covered the lunch box with a “click”, sealed it, and put it in the small refrigerator.
Since hearing the news that Tang Li will come to Beimeng Academy of Sciences today, he seems to have no appetite.
are you sick?
Chu Chisi stood up, took out the temperature detector from the fifth small drawer in the third cabinet on the right, and probed his forehead.
“The temperature is normal,” Chu Chi muttered in thought, and put the detector away properly, “Could it be that there is a problem with the liver?”
I just took this opportunity to go to the medical and biological laboratory to draw a few tubes of blood and check the values.
Chu Chi thought to himself.
There are many different laboratories in the Academy of Sciences, and the medical laboratories next door have all been “eyeing on her” for a long time.
They have long wanted to study this legendary figure who has one and only one biological mother, whose genes have been modified in many places, and who was born in a training cabin.
But the legend is too lazy to catch her.
Chu Chisi has always been a practical school. She packed her things and opened the door. Who knew that as soon as she walked into the hall, she faintly heard some voices.
The main building of the Academy of Sciences is designed as a huge spherical shape, and the glass dome is covered with golden sunlight, reflecting the whole hall is transparent and bright.
The door, which has always been deserted and quiet, has no crowds, but at this moment there are actually many people gathered, all of them seem to be quite young, they should be students or assistants in different laboratories.
They huddled around one person.
The man was tall and tall, with light-colored long hair hanging on his shoulders, the sun falling on the silver ornaments, the brilliance that could be seen from a distance, the brilliance that could not be touched.
Chu Chisi was stunned and stopped in place.
The familiar faces in memory changed, becoming confident and powerful. Standing there, she represented the pride of Beimeng and carried countless eyes.
Not the fluffy blond kid, not the pear who likes to blush, not the taciturn number 63, but the glorious Major General who is admired by thousands of people.
She’s changed…really.
Chu Chisi pursed his lips, and suddenly a sourness gushed out of his throat, like the kind of immature lime, with a bitter and astringent taste.
She hesitated, and secretly took a few steps to the crowd, but she was soon discovered by the sharp-eyed students, shouting excitedly, “Academician Chu!”
Chu Chi thought for a while, and did not dare to move.
The man raised his head, his light-colored eyelashes were slightly bent, and the crescent moon seemed to be reflected in his eyes, and he waved to her: “Chi…”
The last two words didn’t have time to say, Chu Chi ignored her, hugged the tablet in his hand tightly, turned his head and left.
Tang Li people are stupid: “???”
She originally thought that this is Chi Si’s workplace, she must behave well and try to make a good impression in front of her colleagues, so she is so gentle and polite.
Who would have thought that these young girls have a strong appeal, one pass three, three pass ten, call all friends to watch the fun, and directly block Tang Li from leaving.
Tang Li: “…”
Get angry, but keep smiling.
Seeing that Chu Chisi was walking faster and farther, Tang Li was so anxious that she pushed aside the crowd to chase after her, but was surrounded by curious melon eaters.
Most of the young people were curious and whispered to their friends: “It’s amazing, does the major general know Sister Chi Si? Is there any unknown love and hatred between the two?”
Unexpectedly, the beautiful major general turned around and took her words with a smile: “Well, I know.”
The eyes of the onlookers widened: “!”
“She is my savior,” Tang Li said with a smile, “and I…
The last sentence was very vague, and two words were swallowed vaguely. Before everyone could hear it, Tang Li easily crossed the encirclement and disappeared into the corridor.
Chu Chisi was angry and annoyed. She didn’t know why she was angry. In short, she felt dry and wanted to find something to eat.
Instead of doing useless social actions with a few people here, she might as well go back to the machine and debug several different sets of data.
It was noon at this time, and the restaurant was empty, with almost no open windows, only some machines that automatically sold snacks and drinks.
Chu Chisi stood beside the machine by herself, watching the chocolate fall “ding bells”, she tore open a package and stuffed several pieces into her mouth.
Sweet and greasy.
A little bit more bitter.
She finished stuffing the chocolates in threes and fives, stuffed the rest into her backpack, and walked to the laboratory while watching the data feedback on the tablet.
The arc-shaped hall is very quiet, and the ground is soundproofed, so hardly any footsteps can be heard.
Chu Chisi stared at the tablet screen, and the data jumped out line by line, spreading densely, but she was a little absent-minded.
After looking for a long time, I didn’t see anything.
“Something’s wrong,” she muttered in a low voice, “Even though the problem has been fixed, why does it start reporting errors again?”
Chu Chisi stood still at the door of the laboratory, and was looking for the key in his bag. In the shadows beside the door, a somewhat resentful voice suddenly came:
“… Chi Si.”
Chu Chisi was so frightened that his hands trembled, the key slammed on the ground, and his expression froze for a moment.
I saw Tang Li was still wearing the cumbersome uniform of a major general. She squatted at the door of the laboratory, a small one, like the kind of golden retriever puppy that hides from the rain under the eaves.
Seeing Chu Chi Si coming, she raised her head and smiled brightly at the other party: “Chi Si, you are back.”
Chu Chisi said, “You are trespassing illegally.”
Tang Li hugged her knees, her tone was extremely resentful, and the whole person was aggrieved: “I didn’t go in.”
“I’m just sitting at the door waiting. It’s the academician, you look at the tablet and don’t notice the poor me.”
Chu Chisi: “…”
Chu Chisi’s expression was very complicated. She looked down at Tang Li condescendingly, leaned down slightly, and a wisp of ink fell from her shoulders, swaying a light fragrance.
She said, “What are you doing here?”
Tang Li looked up at her, and suddenly burst into a big smile with bright pupils: “Chi Si, I’m here to find you.”
Chu Chisi still had a straight face: “Look for me?”
Tang Li stood up silently, and took out a beautifully packaged small box from beside him: “I bought a coffee pudding, and I want to give it to you.”
She is a little taller than herself, and the eyebrows that come closer are full of joy and smiles that she can’t hide or hide.
Chu Chisi was silent for a moment, and she could see that she really wanted to reject Tang Li, but the temptation of Pudding was too great, causing her to hesitate for a moment, but she still took it.
“I came early today to explore the way, and I happened to meet two little girls,” Tang Li said with a smile, “I asked a little, and I heard that you like to eat this.”
Chu Chisi said coldly, “Yeah.”
Tang Li added: “It’s all to blame Tang Yiqi, who threw me over and over all day, staring at me very closely. I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally I have a chance to come to the Academy of Sciences.”
Chu Chisi was still estranged: “Oh.”
She lowered her head to unlock the door, and Tang Li bent down and stuck her head out halfway from her side, her eyes sparkling: “Chu Chisi, why do you keep ignoring me?”
Chu Chisi didn’t change his face: “You are very noisy.”
Tang Li was aggrieved, her brows and eyes drooping down: “You used to dislike me for being less talkative, and now you think I talk too much, so what should I do?”
Chu Chisi: “…”
Tang Li was actually very tall, but he kept bending over, maintaining a distance that was neither too far nor too close, and stared at Chu Chisi eagerly.
With a few clicks, the five door locks were unlocked in turn.
Chu Chisi walked into the door and looked out, Tang Li was still standing at the door tamely, smiling obediently at her.
The sour feeling became stronger, Chu Chisi clenched his fingers, threw the tablet on the table, and generally did not look at her in a fit of anger:
“…What’s your purpose?”
She turned her back to Tang Li, her scattered ink hair concealed her expression, only her fingers rested on her shoulders uneasily, gently rubbing the clothes there.
The fabric was kneaded into several folds, and the deeper Chu Chisi buried his head, the smaller he shrank, “What other documents do you want, just tell me.”
Silence spreads endlessly.
Not long after, a soft, gentle voice came from the door: “Chi Si, can I come in?”
Chu Chi nodded invisibly.
There were some footsteps in my ears, and then they stopped not far from him, abiding by the proportions, keeping the distance, without any overstepping.
Chu Chisi turned her head to ignore her, and Tang Li snuck over a little bit, looking over with those wet eyes: “Chi Si?”
“Chi Si, are you mad at me?”
She bites her words softly and softly, acting like a spoiled child, her long eyelashes are curled and curled, and her eyes are watery: “Chi Si, I’m sorry, I was wrong, I’m an asshole.”
Chu Chisi: “…”
“No need to apologize,” Chu Chisi’s cheeks were a little hot, her brows knitted together, “I’m not mad at you.”
Tang Li got a little closer, only one point, every action was very measured: “But you ignore me, you are obviously angry.”
Chu Chisi sighed: “I said it all, I’m not angry.”
She bowed her head, hiding her side in the dim shadow, her voice was inaudible: “I’m actually… very lucky.”
[I’m so glad that I can see you again. 】
I’m glad you are still alive, glad you don’t need to hide in Tibet anymore, glad you can finally stand upright in the sun and be loved by so many people.
So, maybe this is the end of it all.
They are like two straight lines that meet for a short time. After crossing the intersection, they will part ways and go in different directions.
Chu Chisi was still in a trance when there was a “banging” sound from beside him, and when he looked up, he realized that Tang Li had actually pulled out the chair and sat down with a light car.
Seeing Chu Chi Si looking over, she smiled brightly and said, “Chi Si, my legs hurt when I stand, can I sit with you for a while longer?”
Chu Chisi: “…”
Tang Li was lying on the table, her knuckles fiddling with her broken hair: “I’m very delicate. If you hadn’t carried me back then, I would have died on the snowy mountain.”
Chu Chisi was silent for a moment, and finally spit out a sentence: “You talk a lot more than before.”
“That’s right,” Tang Li immediately took over, “because I understand a truth: Alphas who don’t know how to find topics can’t find a girlfriend.”
Chu Chisi: “…”
The man dominated half of the small table, and looked at Chu Chisi with such a smile, the light-colored pupils reflected the broken light, full of her figure.
Chu Chisi sighed and sat down across the table. She moved the document a little and said with a stern face, “Give me your hand.”
Tang Li was stunned: “Hand?”
Chu Chisi nodded: “Well, give it to me.”
Tang Li hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out his hand, Chu Chisi pulled her up, and gently rubbed the healing scar under his fingertips, feeling a little rough to the touch.
One by one, one by one, it is shocking, even under the powerful healing ability of Alpha itself, it still leaves a temporary or permanent mark.
Chu Chisi touched her with very light strength, and the slightly cool fingertips slid across the scar. It didn’t hurt, but it was a little itchy.
The lingering warmth came up, and Tang Li subconsciously put her hands together, touched the soft skin, and accidentally held her in his hand.
Chu Chisi seemed to be scalded by her, so he quickly pulled back his hand, and what he wanted to say was stuck in his throat, and it took a long time to squeeze out: “Why is it all hurt?”
Tang Li lowered her head, her long eyelashes drooping slightly.
Every foot, every inch, every movement of her is well-organized, like a perfectly carved white jade.
In the face of Chu Chisi’s question, she just revealed it lightly, “It’s all just a minor injury, and it has long since recovered.”
“Compared to that, I deliberately went to the back street and queued up for the little dessert you grabbed.”
Tang Li smiled at her and opened the box of the coffee pudding: “Would you like to try it?”
The soft, sweet aroma spread out, and it tugged at the tip of my heart. But compared to pudding, her smile is also sweeter.
Chu Chisi inexplicably remembered the cold and alienated No. 63 before, let alone chatting with himself, he always had that poker face, as if he would never laugh.
Why did Tang Li suddenly like to laugh?
Chu Chisi deduced it earnestly for a long time, but did not come up with a reason that was closer to reality, and finally had to give up regretfully.
What she didn’t know was that, in fact, the real answer was far away, and it was much simpler than she thought:
【because-】
[You look better when you smile. 】
Just because of this sentence. Whether it’s “laughing” or “talking a lot”, it’s just because Chu Chisi likes it, it’s that simple.
The laboratory is full of bookcases, documents, and various instruments, and today, there is an extra golden retriever puppy that just ran home.
Chu Chisi sipped the pudding, and Tang Li sat opposite her, smiling softly, and kept looking at her like that.
She said that she didn’t like sweets, and pushed the whole pudding in front of Chu Chisi. She also said that she was learning to make cakes, and asked Chu Chisi if she would like to try it out.
In the warm sunshine in the afternoon, the two chatted slowly, saying that they were chatting. In fact, Tang Li was talking most of the time, while Chu Chisi listened carefully.
The pudding is sweet and soft,
It will slowly melt in your mouth.
Tang Li put her hands together, and suddenly blinked her long eyelashes at her, her eyes also sparkling: “Chi Si, can I ask you a more personal question?”
Chu Chisi glanced at her: “What’s the problem?”
Originally pulled down, the curtains that Chu Chisi used to block the light were also pushed open. Outside the transparent glass window, there was almost overflowing sunlight.
The air was filled with the sweet smell of pudding.
Tang Li took a deep breath and spit out the air slowly. The eyes that always fell on Chu Chisi also slowly moved to the side.
Chu Chisi was a little curious now, she sat up a little and looked at the person in front of her: “What’s wrong?”
Maybe because of the sunlight, Tang Li’s ears looked a little red, like a cherry, always wanting to let people take a bite.
Tang Li stroked her cheek with her index finger, she swallowed nervously, her voice soft: “That…”
“Chi Si, do you have a girlfriend now?”
