Chapter 21: Dinner

"Mr. Writer, how are you resting, are you still immersed in the virtual world?" Wu Xin asked with concern when he saw Mo Yuan lying on the sofa bed staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Thank you for your concern, I am recovering well, you know, if people are well, their stomachs are very hungry, I have been waiting for you to call me for dinner, so I don't dare to move around, so I have to lie on the sofa bed. Mo Yuan replied respectfully.

"Looking at the way Mr. Writer looked at the ceiling just now, is there something on your mind?"

"Oh, I don't have anything on my mind, I'm just idle and bored, just like you said before, squinting at the fluorescent lamp on the ceiling, and really depending on the degree of my squinting, the light will change in various ways, sometimes in a band, sometimes bent, and even a rainbow, and that strange atmosphere, people feel that through that blurry halo, you can go to another world. Mo Yuan replied.

"Is it? Mr. Writer would do such a boring thing? I have the impression that you have always done things with a clear goal, but you will not have such a leisurely and elegant daze. Wu Xin teased.

"I don't think it's boring, when I'm alone, doing something that seems childish, on the contrary, will make my heart extra peaceful, and get a faint joy that can last for a long time. When I was a child, I used to lie alone on the lawn, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, the clouds that floated and passed away, and I imagined in my heart what they looked like, and they would really look like something, which was very magical. ”

Mo Yuan said, as if there were really white clouds in front of him.

"I can't believe that Mr. Writer could say such a thing. Wu Xin smiled, "It's not so much with a touch of joy, but with a touch of sadness, it's really not like your style." ”

"My style?" Mo Yuan stretched out his hand to gesture to a small object, "The pill with the pink bear pattern printed with the words 'Welcome Home' doesn't look like your style." ”

"Let's assume that everyone has a few styles. Wu Xin looked at his watch, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, "Since you are hungry, then we don't have to spend time discussing these unanswered questions, let's go to the canteen in Area A with me." Wu Xin said as he walked towards the exit of the laboratory.

"Good. Mo Yuan got up and left the sofa bed and happily followed Wu Xin.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At this time, there were not many people in the cafeteria, and they were all about to finish eating.

Wu Xin walked straight to the service window, turned his head and asked Mo Yuan, "What do you want to eat?"

Mo Yuan replied: "The guest is as good as the host." ”

"Then I'll take your pick. ”

The two of them held the dinner plate, found a corner table, and sat opposite each other.

Mo Yuan looked at the dishes on the table, tomato scrambled eggs, minced meat and eggplant, curry potatoes, mapo tofu and sauced beef, and said in his heart: "There is only one meat dish." ”

"For a working meal, Mr. Writer will be ready. Wu Xin said.

"Everywhere, I don't think the food in the cafeteria is so good, it's already a rare delicacy. After Mo Yuan finished speaking, he picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth.

"I forgot to take the spoon, I can't eat this mapo tofu, you can help me get the spoon, it's on the sideline behind you." Wu Xin said, stretching out his finger and pointing behind Mo Yuan.

Mo Yuan turned his head back to look, and sure enough, not far behind him, there was a table with all kinds of tableware. "Okay, I'll get it for you. After speaking, Mo Yuan stood up, turned back, walked to the cutlery table, and went to get the spoon.

Wu Xin immediately took out a small bottle full of pale yellow liquid from his pocket, quickly dropped a few drops into the sauce beef, as if he felt that something was wrong, and immediately dropped a few drops in each of the other four dishes, so he felt safe, put the bottle back in his pocket, cleaned up his nervousness, and waited for Mo Yuan to come back.

Mo Yuan took the spoon, turned around and walked towards the dining table in complete ignorance, Wu Xin was waiting for him quietly.

"Thank you, Mr. Writer. Wu Xin said, "You've always been helpful." ”

"The platform is close to me, and it's easy to raise your hands. Mo Yuan sat down as he spoke, and handed the spoon to Wu Xin.

Wu Xinxin said: "This is the latest drug, a fast-acting short-acting tranquilizer, which can allow the user to enter a shallow hypnotic state, and will directly answer the real answer in the heart of others' questions." Hurry up and eat another piece of beef in the sauce you like, of course, if you suddenly like vegetarianism, it doesn't matter, I have a special treatment for you, and I have also put potions in other dishes, and I have used a lot of precious doses for you. ”

Mo Yuan didn't know what happened, raised his chopsticks, and stretched out to the sauced beef.

"I knew that you were so obsessed with eating meat, I wouldn't waste this precious potion on other dishes, I really overestimated you. Then quickly pick up the beef," Wu Xinxin said.

Mo Yuan slowly picked up the sauce beef and sent it to his mouth.

"Eat it, eat it, it's delicious sauce beef", Wu Xin couldn't wait, however, his face was as calm as water.

When it came to his mouth, Mo Yuan suddenly put down his chopsticks and asked in a low voice, "Do you know every staff member of the research center?"

"I know all the staff in the main laboratory, and I only know some of the staff in other laboratories, after all, there are a lot of staff, and I am not a person who likes to meet others, so I only know people who are in regular contact. Wu Xin replied, "Aren't you hungry? Let's talk about these things after dinner. ”

"Well, you see the man in the work uniform sitting diagonally across from us, do you know him?" asked Mo Yuan.

"It's a little far away, I can't see clearly, I shouldn't know it. Wu Xin replied, and said in his heart: "You are eating, why is there a problem all of a sudden." ”

"Okay, I see. By the way, what do the staff usually call you?" asked Mo Yuan.

"I like people to call me Wu Xin directly, I am Wu Xin, Wu Xin is me, I don't like to bring any title, the title has no meaning to me. Wu Xin said, there was already a little bit in his heart that he didn't expect that piece of sauced beef to enter Mo Yuan's mouth.

"I know that you see through fame and fortune and have little interest in those empty titles and titles, but on formal occasions, such as your father, you can't always call him 'Wu Tian', right? Well, you should have a name. Mo Yuan continued to ask.

"Colleagues who are familiar with each other sometimes call me 'Mr. Wu Xiao'. Wu Xin replied embarrassedly, thinking, "Don't worry, this dinner has just begun, and he always has to eat vegetables." ”

"Well, okay, I'll go and go back. After Mo Yuan finished speaking, he took off the documents on his chest, stuffed them into his pocket, and got up and walked briskly towards the man he just mentioned, leaving a table of food and a dazed Wu Xin.

"What's wrong?" Wu Xin quickly recovered from his momentary dazedness and watched Mo Yuan's movements.

I saw that Mo Yuan walked towards the man, sat next to the man, and seemed to say a few words, and then, the two stood up together, Mo Yuan walked in front, and the man followed behind, walking in the direction where Wu Xin was.

"Let me introduce, this lady is the daughter of Professor Wu Tian of the research center, senior researcher Wu Xin, we all affectionately call her 'Mr. Wu Xiao', presumably, you probably know, in the future, she will definitely be in charge of this research center. Mo Yuan introduced to the man. "Know, know. The man replied hurriedly.

After Mo Yuan said that, Wu Xin stood up and stretched out his hand generously, and when the man saw this, he also hurriedly stretched out his hand, and everyone shook it politely. The moment of shaking hands, Wu Xin and Mo Yuan's eyes briefly met, Wu Xin still didn't know what Mo Yuan wanted to do, but with her intelligence, it was no problem to do some cooperation along the river.

"Come, everybody, sit down. Wu Xin said, "You go and bring another pair of chopsticks and bowls." ”

"Okay", Mo Yuan turned around and went to the cutlery table to get the cutlery.

After the dishes and chopsticks were ready, everyone sat down, Wu Xin was still sitting in the previous position, and Mo Yuan and the man sat opposite Wu Xin.

"We Mr. Wu Xiao, is a person who has always put employee care in his heart, seeing you sitting there alone, and a little faceless, presumably you are a new employee, just call me to come and invite you over, we eat and chat together. Mo Yuan continued.

"How long have you been in the research center?" Wu Xin asked the man with concern.

"It hasn't been long since I arrived. The man replied.

"Are you still used to working at the research center?"

"Well, I'm getting used to it. ”

"Mr. Wu, don't ask him all the time, look at him, he doesn't have time to eat. Mo Yuan stopped Wu Xin's questioning.

"Well, you're right. Wu Xin said to the man, "Come on, come on, eat vegetables, don't be polite." ”

Seeing that the man still didn't move his chopsticks, Mo Yuan beckoned, "You're welcome, do you want me to bring you vegetables in person or do you come by yourself?"

Seeing this, the man had to lift his chopsticks, hesitated, reached out to the sauced beef, picked it up, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Wu Xin naturally can't move chopsticks.

"Is it delicious?" Mo Yuan asked the man.

"Delicious. The man replied.

"Are you a new employee here?" Mo Yuan continued to ask the man.

"It's not. The man's tone was slow and steady.

"Who sent you?"

"Wang Cheng. The man's eyes were slightly closed, as if he was a little sleepy.

"Do what?"

"Spy on Wu Xin. With that, the man fell to the table and fell asleep.

"It's a miraculous medicine, it's much more useful than that cute pill. Mo Yuan exclaimed.

At this time, Wu Xin was silent and calm, but there were ripples in his heart.
