Chapter 189: Standing side by side
"Man, borrow a fire," Ou Xu walked to Lu Feng's side, took out the cigarette case in his pocket, and took out a cigarette.
"Okay," Lu Feng handed the cigarette in his hand to Ou Xu.
Ou Xu took a few puffs before lighting the cigarette in his hand, and sighed, "I haven't smoked for a long time, and I've almost forgotten what it's like to smoke,"
"If you can't quit something, compromise it, it's not a big deal," Lu Feng saw Ou Xu smoking a cigarette, thinking that he wanted to smoke but had to endure it.
Ou Xu shook his head, "Smoking is not good for Ran Xin, I used to forget it alone, but now with Ran Xin, I can't smoke anymore,"
"She won't let you smoke?" Lu Feng frowned.
"No, I don't smoke myself, I haven't smoked since I left the mothership, because Sang Shang doesn't smoke, and after a long time, he won't have the habit of smoking," Ou Xu glanced at the cigarette in his hand and changed the topic, "Don't talk about this, let's talk about Zhuo Lin's situation,"
"In the last operation, we only caught a few of his minions, and the main henchmen were not caught, I guess it was because of the leak," Lu Feng frowned and took a few puffs of cigarettes, with unwillingness written on his face, "I suspect that there are Zhuo Lin's spies in our team,"
"This can't be guessed, there must be empirical evidence, otherwise it will be easy to shake the morale of the military," Ou Xu knows that doubt is like a seed, once it is implanted in people's hearts, it will be like a seed entering the soil, quickly taking root and germinating, and it is difficult to pull it out.
"I know, this is just my personal thoughts, I haven't told anyone," Lu Feng understood what the commander meant, "I will check carefully, and the genetic testing system that the commander said, I have already asked people to do it, and I have not found any cyborgs in our team at present,"
"That's good, the closer you are, the more careful you have to be, it's best to do a test from time to time, and don't let the cyborgs have any chance to take advantage of," Ou Xu is most afraid of mixing cyborgs in his team, in this way, it is impossible for him to win the final battle.
"I understand," Lu Feng nodded.
"I will stay here for three days, I will assist you in dealing with Zhuo Lin's affairs in these three days, I am in the dark and you are in the dark, I must clean up those remnants of Zhuo Lin," Ou Xu didn't want to wait any longer, the more Zhuo Lin gave him freedom, the more he would continue to make trouble for himself.
"Okay, I'll listen to your command," Lu Feng immediately felt a lot more relieved when he heard that Ou Xu would help him.
"Okay, then let's keep in touch, I'll invite Zhuo Lin to my house tonight, and you can take advantage of this time to cut off his wings as quickly as possible," Ou Xu knew that some things had to be done quickly, in case Zhuo Lin discovered his intentions, then it would be even more difficult to clear his wings.
"Yes, as long as you send me a time, I will immediately send someone to act," Lu Feng finished smoking a cigarette and pressed the cigarette butt on the ash barrel, "I'll go first, go arrange manpower,"
"Go, I've invited Zhuo Lin to inform you, and you will act when the time comes," Ou Xu also pressed the cigarette butt.
"Okay," Lu Feng nodded before turning around and leaving the smoking area.
Ou Xu waited until Lu Feng left before slowly walking out of the smoking area.
When Ou Xu returned to the dessert shop, he found that Ran Xin was dozing off on the back of the sofa chair, and only a small part of the dessert on the table was eaten.
"Ran Xin," Ou Xu sat down on Ran Xin's side and gently patted Ran Xin awake.
"You're back," Ran Xin sat up and rubbed his sour eyes.
"Why are you asleep here?" Ou Xu saw that Ran Xin still looked very sleepy.
"I'm bored by myself, and I'm starting to get sleepy while eating," Ran Xin yawned as he spoke, "Now that I'm full, let's eat snacks together, and then go shopping,"
"Hmm," Au Xu nodded.
After eating the snacks, when the two of them were shopping, Ou Xu asked tentatively, "Ran Xin, let's invite Zhuo Lin and his adjutant to come to our house for dinner in the evening, okay?" ”
"Do I have to be accompanied?" Ran Xin doesn't care if Zhuo Lin comes, he only cares about whether he wants to be there.
"You are my wife, logically speaking, you need it, but if you don't want to see Zhuo Lin, then it doesn't matter if you don't accompany you, I can handle it alone," Ou Xu let Ran Xin make his own decision.
"To be honest, I don't like that Zhuo Lin very much, it feels like a poisonous snake," Ran Xin couldn't help but wrinkle his nose when he said Zhuo Lin, "But because I'm your wife, I'll definitely be where you're there, no matter where you are,"
"Ran Xin, you don't have to force yourself," Ou Xu didn't want Ran Xin to force himself.
"Don't force it, I just want that Zhuo Lin to see that I am already your wife, and I won't be afraid of him anymore," Ran Xin raised his head with a strange firmness in his eyes, "I won't let people underestimate your wife, although my physical skills are not as good as yours, but I still have a little courage, and I won't do those petty things,"
"Understood," Ou Xu looked down at Ran Xin, his eyes full of tender pity.
"I don't want to hide behind you forever, that's so boring," Ran Xin put his arm around Ou Xu, and leaned on him, "I want to be like those heroines in the storybook, to be a strong woman who can stand side by side with the male protagonist,"
"You're already very powerful, you don't need to be more powerful," Ou Xu was full of tenderness, hugged Ran Xin into his arms and hugged him hard, and didn't let go for a long time, "How fortunate I am to be able to marry a wife like you,"
"Let's continue shopping, you can help me pick out a dress to wear tonight, I can't be embarrassed in front of Zhuo Lin," Ran Xin thought that there didn't seem to be a particularly good-looking dress in his wardrobe.
"Okay, I'll help you choose, I promise to dress you up beautifully," Ou Xu let go of Ran Xin, took her hand again, and slowly walked towards the dress store.
Ou Xu helped Ran Xin pick out a one-shouldered waist-cinching long dress skirt, the texture of royal blue silk showed Ran Xin's slender figure to the fullest, but it was not too enchanting.
"You have a good eye," Ran Xin looked at the way he was wearing a dress, feeling like he was a completely different person.
"My people, naturally, want the best," Ou Xu smiled and admired Ran Xin in the mirror.
Ran Xin turned around and kissed Ou Xu, "My person is also the best,"
Back at the villa, Ou Xu asked Ran Xin to go upstairs to freshen up and change clothes, and then went to the study to invite Zhuo Lin.
"How about I found a few more bottles of good old wine, bring your lieutenant with me?" Ou Xu connected Zhuo Lin's communication.
"How did you remember inviting me for a drink at this time? Shouldn't you be fighting the aliens in the West Side now? Zhuo Lin was surprised that Ou Xu would invite him, and instinctively felt that Ou Xu must have some conspiracy.
"You can fight a war at any time, and you can't have wine all the time, can you?" Ou Xu also picked up the wine bottle and shook it in front of Zhuo Lin.
"Well, it looks really good, but what, even if it's for today, I still have some things to deal with, let's do it another day," Zhuo Lin didn't believe that Ou Xu would simply invite him to drink.
"Another day? Okay, then let's do it another day," Ou Xu pretended to be disappointed, "I'm going to the orc area the day after tomorrow, so I can only bring this wine to Jiao Yao,"
When Zhuo Lin was about to refuse, he heard a familiar voice and entered the video, "Ou Xu, haven't you made an appointment with him yet?" I've got all my clothes done,"
Ou Xu glanced at Zhuo Lin and said with a smile, "Don't mind, it's my wife, she's always like this,"
"It's okay, it's true that I haven't had a good chat with you for a long time," Zhuo Lin changed his mind again, "I'll be here in two hours,"
"Okay," Ou Xu smiled and bowed his head.
