"yes, it's a headache to not have a lot of materials." The boy sighed, his wrist shaking, and the thin piece of material bouncing up and down as if elastic, shrinking at the edges.

"It's not much, we used some last year." Huo Sibei replied casually, "You apply to the material warehouse to try it." ”

"I've already applied, so there's a little left." The boy had a sad face, and he didn't forget to joke Huo Sibei, "It would be nice if you saved me some last year." ”

"Alright, hurry up and find your mentor to find a way." Xuan Qingyu leaned over and said, his voice was crisp and vivid, and he was very quick to speak.

Xuan Qingyu stood on Yilan's side, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Ah Bei, can you help me see, are these glandular points about the same size as those materials you made last year?" The boy raised the black material in his hand.

Hothbei took a step forward and leaned closer to take a closer look. Ilan froze in place, not following. The two of them were originally standing side by side, but when the distance was widened, the two hands holding were very obvious.

Xuan Qingyu glanced at it quirkily, and then smiled at Yilan.

"Pretty much the same way that this biomaterial is preserved ensures the freshness of the body's tissues and the absence of shrinkage of the glandular spots." Hosbei commented, quickly retreating to Ilan's side.

"So lifelike, what else do you want?" Xuan Qingyu said.

Yilan was on the left and Xuan Qingyu on the right, she kept a smile on her face, and she had a strange feeling in her heart.

"Sibei, the younger students in our group will have a routine exhibition match tomorrow, will you come over?" Xuan Qingyu looked at Huo Sibei and Yilan with a smile on his face. "Just bring your friends along."

Hoth glanced at Ilan from the north, shook his head and said, "No, I have other arrangements with Ilan." ”

"Oh." Xuan Qingyu seemed a little disappointed. Glancing at Huo Sibei boringly, he smiled at Yi Lan with a big smile, extremely kind and enthusiastic: "Yi Lan, the performance is very fun and lively, if you want to come when the time comes, let Si Bei lead you." Her voice and expression seemed to be excitedly encouraging Ilan.

"Thank you. Tomorrow is indeed arranged. Ilan smiled gently.

"Qing Yu, you're busy, we should go." Huo Sibei had a headache with Xuan Qingyu's curiosity and excitement. took Elan's hand tightly and took his leave immediately.

"Elan." On the way back, Huo Sibei looked at Yilan cautiously, and stopped talking.

"Huh?" Elan's gaze turned to him from the car window.

Hothbei seems to be organizing the language. After hesitating for a moment, I didn't know what to say. He spat out dryly: "This year, everyone is busy with graduation projects, and there is relatively little mecha training. ”

"Oh." Ilan smiled faintly and changed the subject, "I just saw a model in the showroom, I've seen that kind of mecha. ”

"Which one?" Hosbei asked with a smile.

The two discussed the mecha model.

In fact, Ilan knew what Huo Sibei meant when he mentioned mecha training, and he probably wanted to say that he didn't have much time to train with his partner this year, for fear that she would mind.

She didn't want to take a hit.

It's normal for a mech partner, even if it's a stranger. After a few years of getting along day and night, the relationship will also be deep. This is common sense, and you can't find fault with it.

She had seen a lot of mech partners when she was working in the university's Z cafeteria, and she had also seen a visiting Wau mech formation at the station, and even when she and Ryan were using mechs together, they were barely partners. The two take care of the same mecha, and they have a tacit understanding with each other, and the relationship is naturally close over time.

Huo Sibei had a sentence when he talked about him and Ah Xi: "Anyone who can be a mecha partner will become friends." That's true.

Today, she watched from the sidelines, and the relationship between Huo Sibei and Xuan Qingyu's classmates, partners and relatives was very harmonious. Talking to that boy, Huo Sibei said, Xuan Qingyu followed another, a bit of standing on the same front and advancing and retreating together, which was similar to Huo Sibei talking to Ah Xi before.

It's not surprising that a partner has such a performance. She and Ryan belong to the subordinate relationship in the station, and they are not a pair at work, they cooperate with each other to advance and retreat, Ryan does not let others underestimate her, and she does not let others provoke Ryan, because they are all from the Triumph base to exercise, and they belong to the community of honor. The same is true for mecha partners, they are also a community of honor, and it is absolutely reasonable to speak favorably to help each other.

Xuan Qingyu's eyes when he looked at her were purely the eyes of infinite curiosity about his partner's girlfriend who suddenly appeared. Huo Sibei's attitude towards Xuan Qingyu is also purely a very helpless attitude towards a lively and somewhat funny partner.

Ilan understands these truths, and today I can see them clearly.

It's just that she was badly injured back then, and she didn't want to mention the dark experience that she had inflicted on herself.

Huo Sibei wouldn't know, she couldn't remember her birthday, but she remembered Xuan Qingyu's birthday, because on that day they arranged Xuan Qingyu's birthday venue together to entertain friends, and on that day he told her that he was tired with her and wanted to try his life without her. It was also on that day that she learned that her farm was gone, Ayu was gone, and she had nothing.

Huo Sibei will not know that before she officially met Xuan Qingyu today, she had already been deeply impressed by Xuan Qingyu's voice and smile, and sometimes when her brain was not bright, she would compare herself and Xuan Qingyu repeatedly, she felt that she was less qualified than Xuan Qingyu, her appearance was not as cute and cute as Xuan Qingyu, her personality was not as smiling and cheerful as Xuan Qingyu, and her family background was definitely not as good as her, in short, she was worse in everything.

Huo Sibei didn't even know that she trained every night in the physical training gym alone, and sometimes she was really tired, especially when she encountered her menstrual period after a day of work, and at that time there were only two people who made her grit her teeth and persevere, Guan Li and Xuan Qingyu. Most of the times when she wanted to take a break and be lazy, all she thought about was Guan Li, but she couldn't deny it, she thought about Xuan Qingyu, and then she couldn't say anything about her psychology, and continued to insist on training.

Ilan lowered his eyes and sighed secretly, for the past time.

"Elan." Hosbei took her hand and shook it gently.

Yilan came back to her senses, glanced at her hand, and was wrapped in the palm of her hand, dry and warm, she suddenly shrunk, endured it for a while and asked: "Abei, I see that you have so many models and materials, you have to touch these things when you do projects, can you touch them casually?" ”

She actually wanted to ask if Huo Sibei had touched those materials with his own hands, or even rummaged over and over for research. But she didn't dare to ask, she was afraid that she would shoot Huo Sibei from now on.

Hosbei chuckled: "Do you want to see it?" I have some models in my studio, I made them myself, I went back and showed them to you, you can play with them casually, it doesn't matter if they are broken, I will fix them. ”

Ilan smiled and didn't bother to ask about the materials. Asking so clearly and clearly is to find a psychological shadow for yourself.

She looked at Ho Si Bei, when he observed the material, the tip of his nose was only a cubit away from the material, but at this moment his eyebrows were clear, his smile was faint and warm, his whole face was bright and clean, Huo Si Bei and Pickled Zhen never matched, the facial lines were deep and clean, surprisingly good-looking, and there was no trace of dirt.

Ilan endured it, controlled himself, and didn't put his palm on it and paste his face hard. She looked at Huo Sibei's hand again, was silent for a moment, and simply shook it. Her hand was not as big as his, so she closed the tips of his four fingers and pinched it hard, thinking that she would not have to respond to any material he would study in the future, and she would not be able to respond to it.

It was rare for Huo Sibei to see Yilan so naughty, and he raised his eyebrows in surprise, and immediately let her squeeze it happily, and automatically sent his other hand over.

Yilan grabbed it unceremoniously, shook his five fingers with him, pursed his lips and tried hard, Huo Sibei couldn't help but smile, and he didn't look in pain at all.

Ilan let go of his hand and asked, "How strong do I have?" ”

"It's huge." Hosbei smiled at the corners of his mouth.

"You don't hurt?" Ilan asked angrily.

Huo Sibei glanced at her expression and smiled, "It hurts a little." ”

"Does this look like it hurts?" Ilan tugged at his hand and squeezed it harder.

Huo Sibei's smile became brighter and brighter, and then he laughed, hooked his wrist hard, and scooped Yilan into his arms: "Yilan, are you better?" You can hit as much as you want. ”

He said this strangely, but his eyes were sincere, that is, some things did not dare to be described more and more black, so he would rather use his body as a substitute for the other party to vent his anger and ask for a low-profile appearance.

Ilan was immediately deflated.

At night, Ilan sleeps in bed and feels cold all over her body, and she can't warm up.

She began to have nightmares in the middle of the night, dreaming of a large wilderness, and she walked alone, and there was no end to it. Suddenly there was a strange roar, and as soon as she turned around, she saw the strange bat fluttering its black wings in the air, and two dim green lights locked her in the sunken eye sockets.

She ran as hard as she could, and suddenly a dilapidated house covered with spots appeared in front of her, and she was overjoyed, thinking that Hosbei was in it, but no matter how fast she ran, that house was always far in front of her, and she could never get close.

The whistling sound was getting closer and closer, and it seemed to be in the back of her mind, and she ran desperately, but accidentally tripped and fell, and then looked up again, and the spotted house was gone, and there was nothing in front of her, and her heart suddenly fell into the abyss.

A sharp sound came suddenly, and as soon as she turned her head, she was greeted by a flood of strange bats rushing towards her, their long beaks brushing her scalp with their long beaks, and the two slime-covered black wings closed her.

Ilan screamed, opened her eyes suddenly, and sat up, the room was dark, she hugged her arms and shivered, the feeling of being wrapped in the skin of the monster bat wing was still there, cold and thin, fishy and sticky, boundless darkness.

The door slammed open, and a figure rushed in, his palm on Elan's shoulder, and Elan let out another uncontrollable scream.

"Elan, Elan, it's me." Hoss exclaimed urgently, hugging Elan tightly, only to feel her whole body tremble, and his hand touched Elan's cheek, wet with his hands.

Huo Sibei was so panicked that he kept wiping: "Yilan, don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

Ilan listened to Hosbei's familiar voice and felt his warm embrace, and was freed from the disgusting and terrifying invisible bondage.

"Abei." She shouted in a hoarse voice, her voice trembling.

"Elan, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Huo Sibei patted her on the shoulder, kept comforting, and felt her trembling gradually subside, before he opened his free hand to turn on the communicator and remotely turned on the lighting system in the room. (To be continued......)
