Chapter 9: Sunflowers (3)

An Xiaoyu looked at the full field of sunflowers in front of her, such a field was even bigger than the entire oasis of the Jiuxi tribe. The place where they stood was a flat ground above the steps of the doorway, about five or six meters above below. If you look down the steps, you can see the barren sandy soil, rough, barren and dry, but the roots of the sunflower are deeply rooted in the soil and are as strong as growing on the earth.

On all sides of the walls, a huge ventilation fan stirred up the dry air from the outside world into the space on the fourth floor, shaking the sunflower corolla with the characteristic roughness of the desert, and the golden corolla of the sun was beating neatly, rhythmically, and happily in the wind.

The fragrance of sunflowers, mixed with the smell of sand, drifted around An Xiaoyu with the wind, she couldn't help but take two steps forward, walked to the edge of the platform, opened her hands and smiled, and turned around excitedly.

Chi Mo followed and grabbed her: "Don't fall." ”

An Xiaoyu was very excited: "It's okay, it's okay, when I was in the tribe, I often went around the trunk of the tree!" ”

That was to say, but she didn't turn anymore, because Chi Mo took her hand, and she couldn't help but take a step back, almost close to his arms. Chi Mo grabbed her other hand, and the two of them stuck together, An Xiaoyu's thick quilt leaned against his chest, the slight breeze raised the ends of her hair, and the sunflowers all over the ground shook the golden rhythm.

Chi Mo leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Do you like it?" ”

An Xiaoyu nodded: "I like it." ”

"That's good."

The quiet wind blew, except for the faint sound of the running of the drip system in the distance, and the whole world seemed to be left only with the shaking sound of sunflowers, rustling, and bursting for a while. When the two of them leaned together, there were two more heartbeats.

An Xiaoyu felt warm in her heart, and from this moment, she began to stop doubting, believing that Chi Mo had nothing to do with the affairs of the institute. Because she could feel that Chi Mo's heart for her was true, and at the same time, she also knew that her heart for Chi Mo was also sincere.

After the end of the national examination, An Xiaoyu did not imagine her future university life. She dreamed of becoming an excellent student, dreaming of what kind of career she would do after graduation, and dreaming of what kind of partner she would have.

In the dream, they meet each other in different ways, in various romantic places, what a wonderful time they have spent, they will have Mao Dun, they will experience ups and downs, and how they will spend it together.

However, at this moment, all the original dreams became worthless, on such a large sea of sunflowers, in the quiet and unmanned dream, the two people were close together, making her feel happier and better than ever.

However, this happiness did not last long, and although the crops in the fourth layer were growing well, they had to be regularly regulated and sampled for experimentation. Soon, all the people who took samples before noon came, and the leader was a young man with some gray sideburns.

"You two are really." Said the young man.

Chi Mo turned around, looked at him and asked, "You should be the one who spoils the scenery, right?" ”

Who is this? An Xiaoyu looked at the person who came over, he looked taller than Chi Mo, although he was very young, but he had some obvious old age, otherwise he wouldn't even have his hair starting to turn white. He kept laughing, and his voice was very soft, but there was no expression in his thin eyes, which made An Xiaoyu shiver secretly.

Viper! This is An Xiaoyu's conclusion in her heart.

The man and Chi Mo looked at each other for a moment, and each laughed. Chi Mo walked over with An Xiaoyu and introduced her, "This is what I told you, that nasty ghost." ”

Nasty? An whispered, and owed him a debt: "Team Leader Guan." ”

Guan Jue looked helpless: "Why are you saying bad things about me everywhere." ”

Chi Mo shrugged: "Am I not right?" You can't count how much trouble you've caused me in the past few years. ”

Guan Jue ignored Chi Mo, suddenly looked at An Xiaoyu, and asked, "This is your new girlfriend?" ”

New girlfriend? An Xiaoyu's face flushed, but she was suddenly curious, since she was new, there must be an old one. Who is it? But thinking that Chi Mo is so good, it is understandable that he has had a girlfriend for so many years from college to joining the army.

She waited eagerly for a silent answer.

Chi Mo really didn't disappoint her, and said generously: "Yes." ”

Guan Jue looked at An Xiaoyu carefully and said with a smile: "Congratulations." ”

An Xiaoyu nodded sweetly: "Thank you." ”

"You go and take samples, I'm going to have lunch with Xiaoyu." After Chi Mo finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, An Xiaoyu followed beside him, but he didn't expect Guan Jue to grab him: "Wait for me to go together, I'll finish picking it right away." ”

Chi Mo hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay, you hurry up." ”

Guan Jue turned around and directed people to sampling, the two of them stood at the door and watched, from this end of the sunflower field to that end, the professional researcher was really fast, random sampling was done in an orderly manner, and soon reached the middle of the flower field.

"Why don't you speak?" Chi Mo asked.

An Xiaoyu squeezed his hand and whispered, "What did you say?" ”

The two men were silent for a moment, and then suddenly they both laughed.

Guan Jue came over after finishing work and gave him a strange look: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Chi Mo said: "Laugh at you for being ugly." ”

"Each other, each other." The color of the Guan Jue face does not change.

Viper!

An Xiaoyu doesn't like such a man very much, he is full of cold air, but he has to put on a fake face that is kind to others, and his squinted eyes are like hidden needles, which makes people feel uncomfortable when they look at it directly.

But he is Chi Mo's friend, she can only try to adapt, not to mention that it is nothing for the three of them to eat together, it's a big deal to bury herself in eating and not go to see him, isn't this okay?

After making up her mind, An Xiaoyu hid herself on Chi Mo's side, blocked Guan Jue's face, walked to the cafeteria with them, fought, and found an empty seat to sit down.

When she sat down, it was very natural, but after sitting down, looking at the silence around her, An Xiaoyu was suddenly stunned.

"What's wrong?" Chi Mo asked.

"Zhang Shujie, I don't know what's going on..."

Chi Mo was suddenly embarrassed: "I asked someone about Zhang Shujie, the time you saw her, it should be the last time she was seen, and no one knew where she went later." He sighed: "Maybe it's lost, the base is so big, I'm afraid that she will secretly follow her to the resource area, then it will be difficult to find." ”

Guan Jue ate and asked curiously, "What's the matter?" ”

"One of Xiaoyu's friends, a young nurse interning at the base, recently disappeared."

Guan Jue didn't have a big reaction, and said as a matter of course: "Oh, it's very common for interns to get lost in the base, and there have been cases where they can't be found in the end." ”

Chi Mo coughed, Guan Jue found that An Xiaoyu's face was getting worse and worse, but he didn't apologize, he didn't stop eating, and even smiled, occasionally chatting with Chi Mo about work, and talking about the new progress of the research group, he suddenly said: "There have been a lot of failures recently, the same old way, you can find a few to help me clean up at night." ”

"How many?"

"Fifteen."

"Well, I'll have someone look for you then."

Failure? An Xiaoyu glanced at Guan Jue secretly, and felt more and more that he missed the man in the white coat and mask she saw that night, and he was shocked in his heart, did he know what the research team was doing?

She carefully worded her words and asked Chi Mo, "What failure?" ”

Chi Mo said casually: "The people in their research group used desert creatures to do biological experiments, and there were too many corpses left, and the people in the research group were powerless, so I found a few soldiers to help him carry it." ”

"Corpses... Won't it be disgusting? ”

Chi Mo pointed at Guan Jue with chopsticks: "Of course this nasty ghost is not disgusting, as for me..."

"Silence! Come here! Chi Mo's words were suddenly interrupted, An Xiaoyu was a little annoyed, and looked over the voice, but saw Bai Amaranth standing there.

Chi Mo also saw her, frowned, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Bai Amaranth didn't say it directly, just glanced at the three people on the table coldly, and still said, "Come here!" After speaking, without waiting for a silent answer, he turned around and left, looking like he was sure of you, which made An Xiaoyu a little angry.

Chi Mo lowered the tip of his chopsticks, thought about it, put down his chopsticks and said to An Xiaoyu softly, "Wait for me." ”

An Xiaoyu grabbed a corner of him, neither wanting him to be led by the nose by the woman Bai Amaranth, nor wanting to stay alone to eat with Guan Jue, the poisonous snake, but Chi Mo seemed to have to go, just patted her hand, didn't say anything, and left with Bai Amaranth.

After he left, An Xiaoyu became quieter and just ate.

But she clearly felt that on the other side of the table, there was a gaze that had never taken off her body, which made her feel hairy. She couldn't help but look up, and sure enough, Guan Jue was looking at her, and he was holding his cheeks.

An Xiaoyu's hairs stood up, and she didn't dare to raise her head again. But Guan Jue obviously didn't want to let her go, so he asked softly: "Do you know, why Chi Mo went with Bai Amaranth?" ”

This is a question that An Xiaoyu still has to answer even if she is unwilling in her heart, she raised her head and asked, "Why?" ”

But Guan Jue shook his head: "I don't know either." ”

An Xiaoyu rolled her eyes and continued to bow her head.

Guan Jue said again: "I don't know, but I know some other things, and you definitely don't know." ”

Is there any end to it? An Xiaoyu glared at him angrily. Guan Jue was glared at by her and laughed coldly, laughed for a while, looked at the impatient girl, and secretly said that he was really still a child, and then continued: "I have been friends with Chi Mo for so many years, and I know many things about him very well, such as whether he was in a relationship when he was in college, for example, whether he was a virgin or not..."

An Xiaoyu blushed when she heard it, why did she suddenly talk about such a topic? But what Guan Jue said next made her interested.

"For example, when I asked him to help me transport the body, he sent someone, but he never came," he said. ”

After thinking about it for a while, An Xiaoyu realized in her heart, why someone said that she had discovered it last time, it was really because of herself, and the so-called desert biological experiment must have an engine. She suddenly began to get irritable again.

This person, obviously did some experiment in his research group and was discovered by himself, and he had to bring it up in front of her and Chi Mo to make himself suspicious, and then he wanted to say that Chi Mo had nothing to do with this matter, what did he want? An Xiaoyu glared at Guan Jue.

Guan Jue didn't mind, as if he was appreciating An Xiaoyu's change in expression, and continued with interest on his face: "Also, I don't know what handle Chi Mo has in Bai Amaran's hands, but I know that Bai Amaranth is Chi Mo's predecessor. ”

"Bang dang!" An Xiaoyu's chair flew back a lot, and the movements of the people around him stopped, turning their heads to look at the girl, Guan Jue sat opposite, still holding his cheeks, looking at her with a smile, and didn't say anything. An Xiaoyu turned her head and was about to leave, but was stopped by him: "What are you going to do?" ”

"I'm going to..."

"Go to them?" At this time, Guan Jue actually lifted the chopsticks and began to eat, as if he had never said anything, and the things after that had nothing to do with him: "You have to think about it, be careful not to be like your friend." ”

An Xiaoyu chuckled in her heart, and wanted to ask Guan Jue if he knew where Zhang Shujie had gone, and even had the worst plan - Zhang Shujie had been arrested by the research team as an experiment. But Guan Jue was already hanging high, and it seemed to be a warning just now, so she couldn't open her mouth.

She was upset, she couldn't ask, she couldn't say, what did Zhang Shujie's matter have to do with her going to Chi Mo and Bai Amaranth?

Standing in place, An Xiaoyu pursed her mouth, opened it again, looked at Guan Jue, pursed her mouth again, and finally turned around and chased in the direction where Chi Mo and Bai Amaranth left.

She wondered what was going on.

But asking Guan Jue seems to make things more troublesome, and you must be less involved with him.

The people next to him also continued to eat, and a few left with their plates. Guan Jue sat on the empty table, and he was the only one left in the position of six people, but he was full of interest, eating happily, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became brighter and brighter.
