Chapter 04 - Han Yan's Promise
"Xixi, you said you are a big beauty, why do you look colder than me, a cold-blooded killer?" Han Yan was still smiling, pointed to something casually, and returned the menu to the waiter.
"You're really cold-blooded, I just don't like to talk. We are not comparable. Tan Xi said.
Han Yan continued to laugh: "Xixi beauty, you said that among the few people in the conference room just now, besides me, who would smile at you?" ”
"No, I don't."
Han Yan raised his eyes and looked at Ah Sheng, who was standing straight behind Tan Xi, and continued to say to Tan Xi: "Xixi beauty, the old man is good enough for you, the best of this batch of selected people, I will be your personal bodyguard." ”
"Oh? I don't know. It's just a routine change of bodyguards. Tan Xi didn't care what he said.
"This Ah Sheng is the best in this group of people, he is excellent in every aspect, and his appearance is also good and comfortable, just almost catching up with me.
At that time, when I watched them train, I asked the old man to come to me to be a killer. After all, it's sometimes convenient for a handsome guy to be a killer... Han Yan smiled and continued: "The old man said that he would consider it, but in the end he gave it to you. Ay... Or the temptation of beautiful women. What Han Yan said was actually a little sour.
Tan Xi was slightly surprised, there should not be many people who can be favored by Han Yan, a top killer, but he still said expressionlessly: "Just take what you need." ”
Han Yan thought about it and hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Maybe, you can give it to me in two years." After speaking, he approached Tan Xi and smiled evilly: "You haven't been with the old man yet?" I thought you ... Han Yan laughed twice and continued: "Xixi, I didn't say you, the old man has been chasing you for so long, it's almost over." One day he loses patience, and you break up. When the time comes, there will be no one to protect you. ”
"In your eyes, I can only live to this day under his protection, right?" Tan Xi was slightly stunned.
"Or else?" Han Yan shrugged his shoulders, "If you know the purpose of the organization, the general will not let you go." ”
"What about you? Will they come and kill me? Tan Xi stared at Han Yan without blinking, waiting for an answer.
"Beauty, what did I do?" Han Yan was joking, and after meeting Tan Xi's deep eyes, he restrained his smile: "If the organization orders to hunt you down, I can only say that I won't do it myself." After a pause, he said, "I will inform you in advance, I can't control if you can't run." I'm not going to help you. ”
"Thank you. With my physical fitness, even if there is no one to hunt down, I am afraid I will not live long. Tan Xi said calmly.
Han Yan was slightly surprised: "How come?" You haven't been researching drugs to treat your condition, and the organization wants to hunt you down, but it can only be because they are afraid that you will modify human genes or betray the organization. ”
"I don't modify genes, human beings have to follow nature's survival of the fittest." Tan Xi said.
"Are you going to give up treatment? Does Fu Yanze know? Han Yan asked.
"He doesn't need to know. I'm not genetically perfect and don't deserve to live in this world. Tan Xi's eyes were full of sadness.
Han Yan looked a little uncomfortable, patted Tan Xi's hand, and comforted: "Your genes are all manifested in IQ and appearance, and your physical fitness is natural... ”
After a pause, Han Yan smiled again and said, "Okay, there is an old man, the generals don't dare to do anything to you, relax." ”
"Am I afraid of them?" Tan Xi sneered.
While the two were talking, Fu Yanze walked over and sat down next to Tan Xi. Looking at Tan Xi's porridge and frowning: "Nutrition is not enough, right?" ”
"It's good if you don't starve." Tan Xi replied indifferently.
Han Yan couldn't stand it anymore on the other side. "Xixi beauty, I'll go first, I'll go to play with you when I have time."
"No, I'm not available."
Han Yan shrugged, a little helpless, but left without care.
Fu Yanze looked at the back of Han Yan leaving and said, "Not happy today? Because of the generals? ”
Tan Xi nodded.
Fu Yanze changed the subject: "Xixi, the weather is getting colder here, you can't stand it, so move to the south in the near future." ”
"The research is not yet complete."
"You can just remotely control them to experiment, it's past the initial stage, you don't have to bother too much, rest more."
Tan Xi thought about the progress of the experiment, "Okay, I'll go to the south at the end of these days." When is this virus experiment scheduled? ”
"You don't have to go to the site."
"I want to see the effect with my own eyes."
"So ... Arrange it and I'll tell you. After finishing the business, Fu Yanze looked at Tan Xi with a soft expression on his face: "Xixi, in fact, I am most concerned about the research of treating your heart. At least there are drugs that can suppress it, and you don't have to suffer as often. It makes me feel bad to see you. ”
The lines on Tan Xi's face also softened: "It's okay, it won't be life-threatening for a while." ”
"Went to a concert yesterday?"
Tan Xi nodded, "I watched a few dances and left." ”
"Like Xie Ziting?"
"No, just watching him dance made me feel alive. Envy. After a pause, Tan Xi continued: "I'm not afraid of death, I just don't like to live so palely. I also want to run, dance, play extreme sports, and be energized every day. Tan Xi's eyes were full of longing.
"Yes, Hee-hee. When your drug research is successful, you will definitely be full of energy. Fu Yanze held Tan Xi's hand and comforted. Go live in the south, the weather is a little warmer and good for your heart. When this virus experiment is over, I'll stay with you for a few days. ”
"No, you're busy." Tan Xi replied indifferently.
Fu Yanze looked at Tan Xi for a while: "Do you have to talk to me like this?" ”
Tan Xi looked at Fu Yanze: "I'm sorry to be angry with you." ”
Fu Yanze's face softened slightly.
"I've developed a new virus that can be transmitted through breathing and skin-to-skin contact, it spreads very quickly, and it is being improved, and after improvement, it will automatically sleep when it encounters a perfect gene chain, and it will attack when it encounters an imperfect gene chain. and other successful studies can be widely used. Tan Xi explained the virus to alleviate the embarrassment just now.
"Is it the virus from this small-scale experiment?"
"Well, it's still in the stage of indiscriminate attacks. After a while, you will be able to grow a virus that will be selective. The presence of generals will no longer be necessary. ”
"Actually, this time I agreed to start a civil war in D, more because country D is tracking down the organization. The value of the general is to protect the existence of the organization in the future when the countries hunt it down. Fu Yanze is also rarely explaining.
Tan Xi looked at Fu Yanze with complicated eyes, "I understand, I don't object, I just don't like it." Tan Xi paused, "I still have to go to the laboratory, go first." ”
"Ah Sheng, take care of Miss." Fu Yanze looked at Ah Sheng.
"Yes."
In the laboratory, Tan Xi was wearing a white protective suit, sitting intently in front of the microscope to observe, and then moved to the computer to knock on the symbols that Ah Sheng couldn't understand. Ah Sheng looked at Tan Xi's serious appearance through the glass, and his mood was complicated.
"Hee-hee, it's so late, why don't you leave?" An old professor in his 50s looked at Tan Xi with gentle eyes.
"Teacher, I'll work a little longer. The weather is getting cooler, and I'm about to move to the south, where the research environment and data are not as detailed as here. I want to do as much as I can before leaving. Tan Xi replied respectfully.
"Well, my face hasn't been looking good lately." Professor Qi looked at Tan Xi with a hint of worry in his expression. "Xixi, in fact, your illness is not incurable."
"Teacher, you know best, I don't want surgery. Brother Shi said at the time that he would develop a drug for me, and if he was still alive, he might have succeeded in researching it with his ability. So I'm going to have to work it out for him, but I'm too bad ... Tan Xi was sad.
"Anshi is indeed a genius in medical research." Professor Qi sighed. "You two are my proudest students."
"No, Brother Shi is. I don't have talent. ”
Professor Qi sat down beside Tan Xi and said with a kind gaze: "Xixi, I watched the two of you grow up together. I also know a little bit about your feelings back then, but it's been 8 years since An Shi left, so don't be too persistent. ”
"Since you took over the lab, in the past 8 years, almost all of your time has been spent on research, whether it is research results or financial income, the results are obvious to all, but I have never seen you happy. In fact, Mr. Fu has been supporting you behind you, maybe you should let go of the past and start a new life. Professor Qi spoke earnestly.
"Fu Yanze is not supporting me, he needs my research results to implement the plan, and he needs to use these results to obtain a lot of funds to develop and expand the organization." Tan Xi said coldly, "Only Brother Shi treats me well, I can't forget him." ”
"Xixi, in fact, you know that the drugs to treat your condition have been researched, but serious side effects have been found in the clinical trial stage, but this is not impossible to improve. Why was the study suspended? ”
"Teacher, I studied this drug just to fulfill my brother's wish, and I won't take it. I've been waiting for the moment to reunite with Brother Shi. Before that, being able to 'eliminate' some imperfect humans can be regarded as helping Brother Shi take revenge. Tan Xi's eyes glistened with tears.
Professor Qi was helpless, patted Tan Xi's shoulder and left the laboratory.
Ah Sheng, who was outside the glass window, witnessed the conversation between the two, and quietly watched Tan Xi work through the glass.
At 1 o'clock in the morning, Tan Xi walked into the house tiredly.
"Ah Sheng, will you get something to eat?" Tan Xi leaned on the sofa and asked.
"Miss, I'm going to wake up the cook."
"No need." Tan Xi didn't want to disturb people.
"Is it okay to cook instant noodles?" Ah Sheng is thinking about his cooking skills.
"Okay." Tan Xi was hungry. "You're hungry too, aren't you? Cook together. ”
"Yes."
Ah Sheng put the noodles on the table, and Tan Xi motioned for Ah Sheng to sit down and eat together.
"Miss, this is not in order."
"It's late, no one knows if you don't say it."
Ah Sheng hesitated.
"You dare to walk into my room half-naked and not dare to sit down and eat noodles together?" Tan Xi leaned on the sofa and raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't you meet my needs in the contract?" ”
"Yes," Ah Sheng brought out another bowl of noodles from the kitchen and sat down at the table.
Tan Xi walked to the dining table, looked at the noodles in the bowl and didn't eat, in a daze. The noodles are covered with a double-sided omelette.
"Miss, don't like it? I'm limited in cooking, so I'll call a chef. Ah Sheng was embarrassed.
"Not necessarily." Tan Xi still stared blankly at the noodles in the bowl. I picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, then put them down again. Look at your own noodles, and then look at the noodles in Ah Sheng's bowl opposite, and slowly reddened her eyes.
After a while, Tan Xi slowly spoke: "The same noodles, the same fried eggs, the same as Brother Shi's." ”
"Miss misses him." Ah Sheng's tone was calm.
Tan Xi suddenly raised his head, looked at Ah Sheng opposite sharply, and said after a while, "You can read lips." ”
