Chapter 22: The First Action
The décor in the villa is like the smile on Helena's face, bright and clean.
"Hungry, Krestina?" Helena looked at the little girl with a flushed face and excited eyes, and asked softly.
"Hmmm! Sort of. Christina had her big bright eyes and nodded her little head vigorously. All the way from Atlanta to New York, she was hungry.
"Stay with Zhou, I'll get you something to eat." Helena smiled and turned to the kitchen next to the dining room.
Zhou Qi looked at her beautiful back, and there was a hint of brilliance in his eyes. The strong breath of life makes Helena full of a different charm. It's hard to associate her with the glamorous and radiant emperor superstar on the stage.
"Zhou, do you like Helena? She looks like she likes you. Christina turned her head to look at Zhou Qi and asked with a serious face.
"Yes, everyone in the world who has heard her sing loves her." Zhou Qi looked at the little girl with a big ghost and replied with a smile.
"Cunning Zhou! You know that's not what I'm talking about! Christina wrinkled her nose and glanced at him with a wide white glance.
Zhou Qi had a smile on his face, but he was really embarrassed in his heart. Helena's charm is unimaginable, and it would be false to say that he has never been moved. However, no matter from the perspective of reality or space, I can't accept this feeling calmly. If it weren't for Christina's business this time, he would rather turn this beautiful name into the most precious memory in his heart and never mention it again.
"It's time to come over for dinner." Just when Zhou Qi didn't know how to answer, Helena's brisk call made him sigh inexplicably in his heart. The lighting in the restaurant is bright but soft. From afar, I can smell the enticing aroma of food.
"I hope it's to your liking." Helena said to Christina, but at the end, the bright eyes glanced at Zhou Qi intentionally or unintentionally.
"Wow! It couldn't be more appropriate, I guess I can't wait. A big exclamation came out of Christina's clear voice. Hopping up and down at the table. A pair of large bright eyes kept glancing back and forth between the two. My eyes were full of I understood, I understood. It's so cute.
Zhou Qi coughed dryly and swept his gaze over the table.
Many. The juicy steak is garnished with blue and white flowers, onions, and tomatoes, and the color is appetizing just by looking at it. Mashed potatoes, seared pea pods, hot croissants, and a full plate of fruit salad. The whole dinner is simple but not simple. I didn't expect Helena to be able to prepare so richly in a short period of time.
The dinner was so rich, it was like a family of three sitting around the table, and the atmosphere was extremely warm. A sense of tranquility arose in Zhou Qi's heart. At this moment, he only felt that he was once again an ordinary person, and all the noise and killing seemed to leave him.
The soft sound of the cutlery and the plate colliding, and the occasional touch between Helena's eyes, all made his mood that he had finally calmed down in the last second rekindle again. A touch of unprovoked feelings quietly emerged in the ambiguity of occasional bursts of sparks.
His heart was as strong as he was, and Helena, who was sitting directly opposite, was even more unbearable, and the two bright scarlets had never faded from beginning to end, and had always hung on her face. Under the light with the occasional shyness, when the real person is as beautiful as jade, bright and incomprehensible!
"I've contacted the lawyer before, and if Kristina has no opinion, he'll file a custody petition tomorrow."
In this way, it was Helena who spoke first, breaking the silence in the ambiguity.
"You mean you're willing to be my guardian, Helena?" The little girl looked up at her, her big eyes showing a hint of surprise and joy.
"Yes, I like you Kreese (nickname), would you like me to be your guardian?"
"Wow, of course I do! It would be even better if Zhou was also willing to be my guardian together. ”
"Uh." Zhou Qi was slightly embarrassed. The little guy said lightly, did she know what that meant in her little head? With this level of relationship, once the documents were signed, he and Helena became the titular adoptive parents of the little one. Since then, there has been a layer of shackles between the two.
“come on! Chou, don't you like Krestina? The little one pouted as he spoke, and looked over expectantly.
Zhou used a napkin to wipe the corners of his mouth. He nodded in Krestina's angelic, immaculate eyes. At this moment, how can you say a word.
"Yay! Zhou agreed! The little one looked at Helena with a bright smile, and there was an expression on his little face that he would praise me, praise me, and look indescribably proud.
The time of dinner gradually came to an end in the crisp laughter of the two beauties, one big and one small, like silver bells.
Soon after the meal, the long journey during the day made the little one feel sleepy on his face.
After receiving Zhou Qi's call, Helena had already prepared the room.
Kristina freshened up and changed into her pajamas. While exchanging goodnights, they suddenly grabbed Helena.
"Can you sing a song for me? It's been a long time since no one sang for me before bed. ”
Helena smiled softly when she heard this, and nodded slightly, revealing a strong maternal nature in her eyes. Reaching out and gently holding Kristina in his arms, he thought only and opened his mouth to chant a cappella.
"Spend all your time waiting for a second chance;
Escaping may make everything better;
There is always a reason to say that it doesn't feel good enough to make you feel sad at the end of the day;
I need relaxation, or a beautiful relief;
Endless memories of the self emerge in the mind;
Who said that there is nothing in the body, and there is no concern;
Perhaps tonight I can get the peace I wish for;
in the arms of angels;
Stay away from dark, cold hotel rooms;
Forget the endless fears of nightmares;
In silent dreams and remnants, you will wake up;
In the arms of the angels, may you find true comfort......"
The clear female voice is like heaven. Like a spring flowing in the forest on a summer night, it slowly pours into the heart. Although there is no accompaniment, it seems more ethereal and tactful. Hearing the theme song of the movie "City of Angels" many years ago, not only the young Krestina was intoxicated by the beautiful singing, but Zhou Qi also fell into a stupor at the moment when the song entered his ears.
The soft lines of Helena's face are hidden by her blonde hair, and at this moment she looks like an angel in a song, looking extremely holy and beautiful. The slightly sad tune of the original work has also changed greatly under her interpretation. Like a fresh breeze, it can easily resonate and soothe the sorrow in the heart.
A thought suddenly rose in Zhou Qi's heart. No matter what happens in the future, we must do our best to protect all the good things around us in this life. Don't let them take the slightest bit of damage. Wandering on the edge of life and death, outside of survival, perhaps this will become the only belief I strive for.
Early the next morning, the lawyer delivered the documents according to the appointment time. After Helena signed, she only needed to submit it to the local court to go through the judicial process, and then the population affairs department would verify and file it, and then she could successfully obtain the custody of Kristina.
And Zhou Qi is more troublesome here, one is that he is not a US citizen. Second, this visit is considered "illegal entry", and if you want to go through the relevant procedures, you need Helena to send Kristina to China before she can submit an application.
Seeing that the big picture has been decided. In reality, there is one less thing I care about. Later, under the reluctant eyes of Helena and Christina, Zhou Qi said something good to the little girl, and resolutely said goodbye. This is no longer the case. It is not easy to make a sneak trip to the United States in two to three days. If you want to delay again, let's not say that Xia Ruobing is not easy to explain. You can't just say that you have to do your duty.
Before leaving to return to the capital, Zhou Qi naturally had to go to Shencheng, because he came secretly, so he did not go to Meiyuan to meet the old man of the Xie family and Xie Bonian and his wife. When complaining about the relationship with Xie Yunfei, all kinds of indescribable things do not need to be detailed one by one.
With the space folding skill in his body, in addition to being more flexible and mobile, even stealing jade and stealing incense is extremely convenient. For Zhou Qi, it is also a great benefit.
Everything that was calm in front of me was finally broken until the week before the start of the space mission.
Early in the morning, captain Wu Zhengqing walked into the physical training hall with a grim face. Gather all members of the Red Sword team together.
The superiors gave urgent instructions, and the whole team immediately gathered and set off to the border of Yun Province. I'll convey the details on the way! ”
"Yes!"
The 22 team members, including Zhou Qi, answered in unison, and after the disbandment, they returned to the barracks to dress quickly.
All camouflage combat uniforms, bulletproof vests, tactical helmets, Type 05 whispered special operations submachine guns, on average, each person was armed in less than 90 seconds. As the three snipers in the team, Zhou Qi also brought a domestic JQ12.7mm anti-materiel sniper rifle.
Following Wu Zhengqing's order, in less than three minutes, all 22 people embarked on a journey on a vertical take-off and landing medium-sized transport plane equipped for the Red Sword and flew directly to Yun Province.
"In the early hours of this morning, the data of our army's new generation of fighters was stolen! According to the tracking of the special department, it is very likely that the person who stole the information left the province of Yunnan. Command! All the commanders and fighters of the Red Sword go to volley! Be sure to get your stuff back! ”
As soon as he got on the plane, Wu Zhengqing transmitted two images of people whose images were somewhat blurry to the electronic screen inside the plane. A shocking piece of news came out of his mouth.
A glint flashed in Zhou Qi's eyes, and the information of the new generation of fighters was stolen? With such a top-secret data loss, it may be difficult for ordinary soldiers and spies to accomplish it! Only when Wu Zhengqing spoke out, he had already decided in his mind that nine times out of ten, the contractor was probably the contractor!
Only the contractor can easily take the information without the gods knowing.
After many days of contact, everyone in the red sword deserves to be the elite of the army. If you run into ordinary soldiers, it's not false at all. But if you are a contractor. I'm afraid that in addition to myself, there will be more than one luck.
It seems that this trip is not only to ensure that the mission is completed, but also to avoid the loss of the team members!
Since the end of the battlefield mission, a new contractor has been added to the space. He wanted to see who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and dared to stretch out his claws! If necessary, you can't just kill! As my first time participating, I can't afford to miss it!
