Gu Lichuan held his mobile phone, feeling a little apprehensive. The "beep" sound on the phone made his heart beat non-stop.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Ying Lan, who was sitting next to him.

"You should give him a call. Ten minutes ago, Ying Lan, who was sitting on the sofa, raised her hand and poked Gu Lichuan's back.

"Don't you call your dad too?" Gu Lichuan smiled helplessly, still bending down to clean up the garbage left after the two of them finished eating takeout.

"That's different," Ying Lan looked at the ceiling, thinking about how to convince Gu Lichuan, "I have a sharp conflict with my father, and you have no conflict with your father." ”

Gu Lichuan threw the garbage into the trash can in the kitchen, then walked to the sink to wash his hands, and the sound of running water accompanied his reply: "Actually, I don't know what to say to him at all." ”

"Why?" Ying Lan put her legs up, and the whole person lay on the sofa, kicking the couch back and forth with her two legs.

The sound of water stopped, Gu Lichuan slowly walked back to the living room, and casually pulled two tissues to wipe his wet hands. Ying Lan sat up very consciously and made way for Gu Lichuan. Although Ying Lan only occupied the auxiliary sofa, and the entire main sofa was opening its arms to Gu Lichuan, Gu Lichuan still sat next to Ying Lan very obediently, both of them were very slender figures, even if they sat on the auxiliary sofa at the same time, they would not feel crowded.

From Gu Lichuan's disappearing expression, Ying Lan felt that the atmosphere was not quite right.

Gu Lichuan dried his hands, kneaded the tissue into a ball, held it in his hand, looked at the coffee table, licked his lips, and then finally spoke.

"Since my mother died, the two of us haven't spoken very well, and we haven't seen each other more than a few times a year. ”

"Your mother?" Hearing this, Ying Lan raised her head.

"Ah, she's gone. Gu Lichuan rubbed his eyes, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, and his tone sounded as if he had just said something dispensable.

"Lechuan ......" Ying Lan frowned, wanting to reach out and touch Gu Lichuan's shoulder, but the outstretched hand paused in the air for a moment, and then timidly retracted.

However, to Yinglan's surprise, Gu Lichuan suddenly turned his head.

"You're right," Gu Lichuan's eyes were slightly red, but the corners of his mouth were clearly smiling, "I really should call my dad." ”

On the other side of the phone, there was a slight "click" sound, and it was connected.

"Lethe?" said the voice of a hoarse middle-aged man on the phone.

"Hey, hey, Dad. Gu Lichuan was obviously unfamiliar with the title "Dad".

"Hmm. Gu Lichuan's father responded.

So the two sides fell into an awkward silence.

Gu Lichuan still had a stiff smile on his face, and his eyes began to ask for help from Ying Lan.

"Ask him what he's doing. Ying Lan whispered to the side.

"Ah...... Ah, that, what have you been busy with lately?" Gu Lichuan said as he reached out and scratched his sideburns, obviously very uneasy.

"Oh, me, I'm investigating. ”

Hearing this answer, Gu Lichuan noticed a noisy roar on the other side of the phone, maybe it was near a waterfall.

"How are you doing lately?" his father began to ask, obviously he was also fresh by Gu Lichuan's sudden call, "Is the living expenses enough?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine. Gu Lichuan replied to him.

"By the way, Dad, I have found a job, you don't have to pay me living expenses in the future. ”

"Oh?" Gu Lichuan seemed to have said something that interested his father.

"Yes, it's a ...... It's a company with a high level of trade secrets, and I'm giving them legal advice. Gu Lichuan touched his hair, feeling that the profession he had made up was very reasonable and funny.

"Okay," said a relieved voice on the other end of the phone, echoing a smile, "that's great." When you have time, go home and check it out. ”

"Well, I know. Gu Lichuan closed his eyes, and he felt his heart tremble.

Hanging up the phone, the middle-aged man with a slight beard on his chin and lips smiled slightly: "This kid." ”

Next to him, a woman who looked to be in her early thirties stepped forward: "Is it Lethe?"

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, his gray hair mixed with the hair that had not yet turned gray, showing a deep gray: "It's said that you have found a job, and it's rare to give me a call." ”

The woman also smiled: "I said he called me before, but you still don't believe it." ”

Gu Lichuan's father reached out and took off the backpack from the woman's shoulder, and then carried it on his back: "What do you say...... I still feel very proud. ”

The woman smiled playfully, with the vitality of her twenties on her face: "Yes, after all, it's my own son." ”

Behind them, there was an empty rainforest, waterfalls crashing down, and the sound of a creature in the distance was heard from time to time.

Gu Lichuan hung up the phone and instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ying Lan came up, with a shallow smile on her face, as if she had done something very fulfilling: "How is it?"

"It's pretty good. Gu Lichuan looked at the phone in his hand, and his face was very excited and light red.

"That's why I said, you should call your father!" Ying Lan patted Gu Lichuan's shoulder hard, "It's also your father, how can you be so rusty!"

Gu Lichuan rubbed his nose, and the joy on his face turned into a slight shyness: "That, thank you for lingering." ”

Hearing this, Ying Lan, who was still full of confidence, suddenly became embarrassed: "It's nothing, in fact, I don't know anything in my heart." ”

"Lethe. Ying Lan leaned closer to Gu Lichuan, and the two who were already close to each other were now closer, so close that Ying Lan could smell the faint fragrance of the shower gel on his body, so close that Gu Lichuan saw Ying Lan's long eyelashes and the blue blood vessels under the white skin that could be broken by blowing.

"Can you tell me about your mother?" Ying Lan raised her face, and Gu Lichuan saw the longing in her clear eyes.

"My mother passed away when she gave birth to me," Ying Lan lowered her head again, as if she didn't want Gu Lichuan to see her tears, "I have never touched her face since I was born, nor have I heard her voice, I can only see her appearance in the photo." ”

It turns out that Yinglan is more pitiful than me.

Thinking so, Gu Lichuan stretched out his hand and stroked Ying Lan's head.

Feeling Gu Lichuan's touch, Ying Lan raised her head to look at him.

Gu Lichuan's expression was so gentle that it made people want to fall into his arms.

"Absolutely. ”

In the base of the special operations group, the medical staff are hurrying through the various rooms, although in a hurry, but in an orderly manner. Of course, noise is inevitable.

"Hurry up!" Standing in the middle of them was a woman who looked to be in her thirties, dressed in a black uniform, with a thin waist, a well-proportioned, tall and straight figure, and long black hair curled behind her, looking gentle but serious. She didn't wear makeup, maybe because she didn't have time, maybe she felt that makeup wasn't commensurate with her job. Although the wrinkles on her face are minimal, the intellectuality and calmness that emanate from her body are not difficult to guess her age. Inside the hall, the complex work runs in an orderly manner under her command.

"If the wound is getting better, just transfer them to the convalescent ward. The woman flipped through the document and handed it to the person standing aside.

After receiving her order, the subordinate turned and left.

"Team leader, the condition of wounded 0715 is becoming more and more precarious. A little girl ran out of the house with an anxious look on her face and a roster of the wounded in her hand.

The woman held the little girl's arm, and the expression on her face was still very calm: "Don't worry, take me to see it." ”

"Yo!Mrs. Dragon~!" Suddenly, a very exaggerated shout sounded behind the lady, causing the entire medical staff in the hall to turn their heads to look over there.

The woman was startled by the voice, but quickly regained her composure and let out a long sigh. That magnetic but unrestrained voice, and that boring title, there was only one person in the entire special operations team who was so disgusting.

"White Fox!" The woman turned around and glared at the white fox who was walking towards this side with great dissatisfaction, and behind him, there were the medical staff who had gone to inform before, as well as Long Ao and the others.

"How many times have I told you, don't call me by such a boring name, are you afraid that this special operations team won't know that I'm the wife of your boss?" the woman looked at the white fox with her arms crossed, but what she got was a completely helpless smile from the white fox.

"Mrs. Long, you can't say that," Mu Yi also stepped forward with a grin, "Even if I don't call you that, aren't you still the boss's wife?"

Long Ao stood behind them, smiling helplessly.

The woman shook her head, unable to refute: "You are the main force of the special operations group, just go and form a group to say cross talk." ”

"You are in such a hurry to see me, there must be something urgent," Long Ao stepped forward and asked, "How is the injury of that team member?"

The woman shook her head: "It's not good, he's still in a coma, and it's hard to rescue him anymore." With that, the woman turned around and walked into the room, and Long Ao and the others also followed her into the house.

Lying on the hospital bed was a middle-aged man, his face was very pale, his eyes were closed, his brows were tightly locked, and the blood on his entire face seemed to be drained. And looking at his injuries, you can understand why he has the same face - the left half of his body is covered in a layer of ice crystals, and even more tragically, his left arm and left leg have disappeared, as if he has been smashed by a sledgehammer to the marble statue of his left side.

"Xingchen, can you thaw him?" Long Ao frowned, looking very displeased.

"It's useless," Xingchen's heat sensing scanned the poor man, "not to mention whether I can grasp such a precise temperature, his heartbeat is slowly failing, and various organs have lost their vitality under the influence of low temperatures. This man is hopeless. ”

"I didn't expect the sanctioned people to be so ruthless. The white fox looked at this miserable situation and kept babbling.

"The effects of the cold temperature are still ongoing," Xingchen looked down at the body that was torn between life and death, "this should be the ability of the person I saw earlier." ”

"That's a natural fit for you. Andrei pursed his lips.

"Anyway, he is also the head of the sanction mercenary group, if he doesn't even have these two brushes, he won't dare to openly provoke us. Long Ao said, turned around and walked outside the house. The rest of the team also followed him out.

"Andre, bring me the information of the members of the sanctions mercenary group in the afternoon. ”

"White Fox, you are responsible for investigating the movements of Wuming and sanctions, and you must secretly protect the safety of Ying Lan. ”

Walking to the door, Long Ao turned his head to look at his wife.

"Thank you. Long Ao smiled at her.

The woman didn't mean to relax at all, she frowned and sneered: "You are really hard!"

After speaking. She lowered her head, as if thinking about something.

"Look at you," the white fox bumped Xingchen with his elbow, "is this the state of the old husband and wife?"

Xingchen raised an eyebrow, as if to give acquiescence.

The woman looked up, and her face completely changed to an expression, the expression of his wife.

"Don't push yourself too hard. ”

Long Ao nodded, pushed the door and left.
