The little ÷ said ◎ Net], the ♂ little ÷ said ◎ Net],

There was a knock on the door for the third time in half a day. Yuan Sui put down the boring middle school textbook in his hand and looked forward over Lu Chuanxu's head on the other side of the table.

"Hi, you." The yellow-haired younger brother also temporarily dropped the ballpoint pen in his hand and glared at her with a cold face, "This is studying, can you concentrate a little?" ”

It's really feng shui in turn. In this memory, the little fart who only grabbed her skirt and pestered her sister to buy him candy to eat was able to educate her in turn. Yuan Sui snorted lightly disdainfully, originally wanted to frustrate this guy's spirit, but he still held back after thinking about it.

"Leave those people alone." Since the other party to the conversation had no intention of cooperating, Lu Chuanxu could only consciously pick up the pen again, and while speaking coldly to the strange sister in front of him who had not changed much in a mature tone that was completely out of age, he pressed the tip of the pen that popped up from the tip of the pen for a while, as if he was suppressing something, "Didn't Dad say it too, they will also stay enthusiastic in the past few days when you just come back, and they won't be distracted from you after a while." Don't follow...... Flatter yourself. ”

The last word was so strange that Yuan Sui glanced at him inexplicably, and soon opened the book again, at least putting on a good attitude.

In fact, she is not a fool herself, and there are no entertainment activities other than reading books on the island, so Yuan Sui thinks that although she has not experienced the systematic training of the school in the past few years, her knowledge is definitely not bad, and she doesn't know where this little kid who has just graduated from elementary school comes from.

After a patient knock on the door that lasted for more than a minute, the woman who had been busy in the kitchen finally took off her apron and walked into the dining room.

"It's coming, please wait a little longer." The woman tidied up her meter in the mirror at the door for a moment. Yuan Sui always felt that she was observing her reaction through the mirror that had been polished for years.

So she buried her head deeper—before she could see the person with her peripheral vision.

Kong Zhongsi carried several bags of dazzling health care products and walked into the door with a warm smile.

"This is your daughter, Yuan Sui, right?" He took the initiative to start a new day's performance before he showed excessive surprise at the first year, introducing himself, "Are you still used to coming back for the past few days?" Oh, I'm sorry, I should introduce myself first, I'm the leader of the active duty group of the army, Kong Zhongsi. Hello to the first meeting. ”

“…… Hello. Yuan Sui blinked, and the two legs hidden under the tablecloth flicked uncomfortably, and it seemed that he had kicked the other pair of legs, which made Lu Chuanxu drop the pen frizzily.

"Are you...... A group leader? The woman's eyes were stunned for a moment, and soon changed to a more amiable face, "It's really young and promising." You have to work hard, right? How can you have time to come over in person......"

"Look at what you said, Miss Yuan's matter is also a major event for our army." Kong Zhongsi followed her words and said with a very good attitude, as if she was competing with a woman for some performance-related award, "In the final analysis, she will suffer alone outside for so many years, and it is also because of my own dereliction of duty." I came to visit her, of course. ”

Really good at pretending.

Before Yuan Sui couldn't help but bow her head and start rolling her eyes, she saw that Lu Chuanxu on the other side had already done it for her.

"Thank you for coming to see my sister." After enduring several hand-slabs from his father because he showed too much resistance, the yellow-haired younger brother finally learned a little better, and even took the initiative to stand up and shout out Yuan Sui's current heart, "She is recovering well now, and your subsidy Dad has also received it." I know you're busy, and I've seen it, so please come back. ”

"Chuanxu." The woman called his name in a low voice, probably to stop her precious son from offending people for a cheap daughter, "Do your homework well." Team Leader Kong, please. ”

Kong Zhongsi didn't say much, and consciously followed the woman to the sofa in the living room to sit down, and patiently asked the woman about the current situation of Yuan Sui.

"Aren't these people talking in private? One by one, endlessly. Lu Chuanxu was still muttering, and seeing that Yuan Sui was a little stunned, he held the pen and waved it in front of her eyes, "Do you think that my mother seems to have to memorize the standard answer?" ”

"yes, endlessly." Yuan Sui frowned at the sharp object in front of him, even if he knew that the little thing that Lu Chuanxu learned in the boat would not be able to hurt her with this thing, but his body still habitually fell backwards, opening up a safe distance, "I guess I used this as the new address of the zoo." It's rare to be able to make it back from the ship alive. ”

"Put 'home'." Lu Chuanxu corrected.

"What?"

"I mean......" Lu Chuanxu was halfway through speaking, looking at Yuan Sui's expression of obviously the old god was there, he consciously stopped again, and shook his head self-deprecatingly, "Forget it, you didn't say it to me." ”

Sick. Yuan Sui no longer left him, and listened to the virtual and real conversation of the two benchmark figures in the fake polite world not far away.

"So, are you still worried about whether or not to send her back to the middle school here?" Kong Zhongsi is a good listener, no matter how unhappy he is, he will not take the initiative to interrupt the other party, "I think I'm afraid it won't work, at least let her avoid the limelight first." Not to mention that Miss Yuan is still a little unaccustomed to life in the ship, and it may be problematic to throw her into an unfamiliar environment, and more importantly, she is also quite famous outside. Even if you can't see what you look like, it's probably not easy to fit naturally into a group of adolescent students. ”

"Yes." The woman is also a speaker with a sense of proportion, and basically won't let the conversation get into an impasse, "Since that's the case, let's go with the flow, let her study on her own with Chuanxu, who is just about to enter middle school, and the sisters and brothers will go around some places where they used to stay when they were children by the way, which is also good." ”

"That's what you said." Kong Zhongsi glanced at the ID and felt that he had to start getting to the point, "I'm sorry, if it's convenient, I still have something to ask Miss Yuan." ”

"Oh, sorry, I'm delaying you." The woman got up very respectfully, "It just so happens that I still have a little bit of cleaning that I haven't finished, so please do it." Chuanxu, you go back to your room and do your homework. ”

"Why do you want me to give up my seat? It's well lit here. Lu Chuanxu didn't give anyone face, and looked at Kong Zhongsi's expression with a little hostility, "If you want to ask, hurry up and ask, she hasn't completed her study task today." ”

So Kong Zhongsi could only sit down opposite Yuan Sui's side, muttering warnings that had no practical value, but the fingers on the table were busy tapping the code to transmit information.

"You look pretty good." He "said" with his fingers.

"You're also idle." Yuan Sui supported his chin with one hand, and knocked on the table impatiently with the other, "When are you going to get the target photo?" ”

"He's not easy to get a picture. But the good news is that you've already met him. ”

“？”

"Yesterday afternoon, he came to see you in person in the quiet room."

"There are a lot of people who come to see me, which one is he?"

"The one that looks better." Kong Zhongsi took the opportunity to ask her about getting along with her family, "It's not a joke. ”

"Okay. I kind of know. Yuan Sui still had a cold face and continued to knock, "Also, there are no special circumstances, don't come to contact me directly." ”

"It won't be exposed." Kong Zhongsi smiled meaningfully, "Because this time, it was the people around the target who asked me to come and see it in person." ”

"Remember what you said. I'm not responsible for hands-on. ”

"Of course. If I do ask you to kill someone, he won't let me go. ”

After all, the words that can be conveyed by the code are limited, and Kong Zhongsi rarely expresses it more bluntly. Yuan Sui didn't look at him, but his fingers were bent unnaturally, as if someone had stepped on some sore foot.

At this moment, Lu Chuanxu, who was directly opposite, let go of his hand, and the ballpoint pen instantly knocked out a soft sound on the ground.

"Sounds exciting, doesn't it?" Yuan Sui was originally talking about topics related to his stepfather, even if he was half-truthed, he didn't think that these things should be expressed in front of Lu Chuanxu. So she kicked Lu Chuanxu lightly under the table again, "Go back to the room." I don't give people a little privacy. ”

To his surprise, Lu Chuanxu actually stood up, didn't even pick up the pen, and quickly got into his room.

"What's wrong with him?" Kong Zhongsi asked in a low voice.

"You're forcing me to speak ill of my father, what do you say?" Yuan Sui replied.

-

Five days later, Yuan Sui stood on the side of an artificial lake in the park, slightly fascinated by the figure on the bridge.

Ling Shucheng. Even if Kong Zhongsi didn't specifically confirm it for her, she roughly guessed that it was him.

This is the son of the leader of the Pangu countermeasures team? This is comparable to the eyebrows and eyes of the actor in a literary film, and he doesn't look very similar to his father.

Yuan Sui scolded a sentence, and then took the initiative to greet him.

She's not a fool. The leader of the second group actually went out to visit the park during working hours, and it was hard to say whether he was deliberately waiting to meet her here, after all, Yuan Sui came back every day since he regained his freedom.

As Kong Zhongsi said, the plan went unexpectedly smoothly. Ling Shucheng's attention to her was like a fascination.

"Believe me, a person like him, who has lived a well-behaved life since childhood, may like your personality."

"You mean, let me seduce him?" Holding down Li Ran's green hand, Yuan Sui almost couldn't help laughing out loud, "Isn't it, the leader of the second group, you don't even have this concentration?" ”

"No, a little more advanced than that." Kong Zhongsi's thick eyebrows always seem a little funny in this situation, "More precisely, use your funny soul to resonate with him." ”

But what can I resonate with this little young master who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth? While thinking, Yuan Sui still approached the little young master who was staring intently at the goldfish in the water.

"Is that you?" She took the initiative to speak, "What a coincidence. ”

Ling Shucheng's eyes when he looked at the fish were very similar to the feeling he had when he looked at her before. There is no sense of superiority that the other person can only struggle in a small square pool, nor does he exude the appreciation that rises to the aesthetic level, like a biologist waiting to write an observation log, as if he is judging whether the other person is healthy enough by the magnitude of the goldfish's tail swing.

"Hmm." It may be that the observation is too engaged, and the other party's reaction is a beat slower, "Ling Shucheng." ”

Why did you take the initiative to report your name again this time? Yuan Sui was a little puzzled in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

It's okay this way, she is not afraid that she has no intention of leaking her mouth.

"Mr. Ling." Yuan Sui began to routine, "Why are you here alone?" ”

"Waiting for you." I didn't expect Ling Shucheng to be a straight player, "I have something I want to tell you." ”

"Okay." Yuan Sui nodded obediently, "You say." ”

"How does it feel?" Ling Shucheng's question was more jumpy, "After returning to the ship." ”

Just as Yuan Sui was about to start reciting the standard answer, Ling Shucheng suddenly raised his eyes to look at her and interrupted: "You know, generally speaking, it is very difficult for people to logically and clearly explain their past experiences to others without being prepared in advance. ”

"Of course I did." Yuan Sui understood what he meant, "Isn't it strange to avoid some inexplicable trouble?" ”

"It's not surprising." When she got closer, she noticed that Ling Shucheng's eyes were darker than many people's, and they were roughly close to the purer black, so there was a natural sense of depth, "But these days, when you repeat the details in front of everyone, the words used are almost exactly the same." ”

"So what?"

"It just goes to show that you've rehearsed the rhetoric over and over again, maybe even in front of other people." Ling Shucheng's tone was very flat, "You have polished these narratives many times based on their reactions. So you express it very smoothly, even pleasantly, because you know that there can be no mistakes in these sentences. ”

In his eyes, Yuan Sui saw the tight corners of his mouth.

"Are you teaching me how to lie better?" Squinting his eyes, Yuan Sui pulled out a slightly sharp smile, "Even if I really carved it over and over again...... But what's wrong with that? I'm just trying to avoid as much trouble as possible. After thinking about it, she decided to shift the focus of the topic, "You know, my family has already caused me a lot of trouble. Some of you guys in the military are really good at rubbing salt in people's wounds, you know? ”

Sure enough, after hearing this, Ling Shucheng's eyes sank significantly.

"When a person's misfortune gradually becomes a general state of society, people gradually lose empathy, because the same tragedy has been played out too many times before their eyes." Ling Shucheng sighed, and his voice became very soft after dropping a sentence that was quite literary, "Do you sometimes imagine something that you know is impossible?" For example, if your biological father is still alive and nothing happens after that......"

"I'm not going to worry about things that I don't get anymore." I don't know why, after realizing that the other party's soft-heartedness is likely to be deeper than he expected, Yuan Sui felt less angry, "I can only hold the only thing left in my hands." ”

"The things you have on your hands will increase, if you don't actively keep them out." Ling Shucheng stood beside her like a tree, and took the trouble to reason with her in an old man-like tone, "What's more, what you have now may be more than you expect." ”

"But I don't want that many things anymore." Yuan Sui replied, "It's too much, and I can't spare my hands to catch it." Running a relationship is tiring because you never know what the other person really thinks of you...... Treat it as something. "Will you never grow up, but deserve to be a bear child who looks stupid and spoils people? Unfortunately, she has been an assertive and very stubborn person since she was a child, but unfortunately, Li Ran is too.

Naturally, when she threw out this sentence, she said that it was not good. The key to maintaining a lie is to immerse yourself in that made-up world all the time, and it is impossible for the "Yuan Sui" in that story to say something similar to complaining about a broken love.

"Yes," I didn't expect Ling Shucheng to nod and comment seriously, "You are indeed an adult." ”

may be because of this sentence that half a month later, her hand holding the gun will keep shaking.

"I really didn't expect that I would be completely exposed because of this little mistake." On the devastated grass, Kong Zhongsi covered the wound on his abdomen and laughed hoarsely, "Who would have thought that a twelve-year-old boy would actually know how to code?" Yuan Sui, you and I really underestimate your yellow-haired brother. ”

On his side, Lu Chuanxu was hanging from a tall pear tree by a thread, and he was struggling desperately with the strength to feed.

"You...... You let him go! The muzzle of Yuan Sui's gun shook back and forth between him and another bloody man, "Kong Zhongsi! Don't push me! How did you say yes...... How did you promise me before! ”

The rope that binds Lu Chuanxu is not under her control. Yuan Sui only learned today what kind of terrifying talent this team leader Kong, who rarely does it himself, has. If it weren't for another ferocious monster, her situation would have gotten even worse.

Ling Shucheng also glanced at the hostage hanging in the sky distractedly, and rarely showed a little anxiety.

"There's no way, now that we've come this far, there's no turning back." The entire park has been destroyed by the joint efforts of him and Ling Shucheng, Kong Zhongsi looked at the empty hospital on the upper floor, and shook his head, "I'm really unwilling, I thought this would be a good opportunity, but I didn't expect you to really overcomplete the task...... It's a pleasure to get along with Sucheng, right? I've told you that he's actually a good-natured guy. ”

"Enough! That's enough! Yuan Sui's eyes were red, "Since we have come this far, what's the point of losing both!" You're going to force me...... Force me ......"

"I'm going to shoot the one across from me, or I'll kill your troubled brother." Kong Zhongsi smiled suspiciously, pretending to be kind enough to add for her, "I don't quite understand what you're struggling with, I don't think the results of these two choices are bad for you." The person you care about the most is in the same boat as me, even if I fail today, it won't be a loss to take away a strong enemy for him, and your brother ...... Don't you two have no feelings? ”

"Shut up!"

"If that's not what you think, then why would you take the opportunity to pick up my gun." At this point, Kong Zhongsi showed the most relaxed demeanor, "Come on, make a decision." You have also seen that Ling Shucheng and I can only barely draw, or you can help and shoot him in the chest, which can be regarded as fulfilling a wish for Li Ran in the distance. Either I'll sell you a favor by the way, so that you have the opportunity to destroy this brother who ruined your future life with his own hands...... Of course, if you can't put your mind to it, I can do it for you. ”

"Kong Zhongsi!" Yuan Sui was doused with a ruptured water pipe, pale and thin, like a crumpled piece of paper, "You bastard!" ”

"Of course, you can beat me too." Kong Zhongsi seemed to see what she was thinking, "But you have to think clearly, is this really cost-effective-shoot!" ”

Lu Chuanxu, who was hanging in mid-air, bounced even harder, like a fish out of water. Since his mouth was gagged, he could only whine. Yuan Sui didn't dare to look at his obvious staring eyes, and he collapsed several times and wanted to turn around and run away.

"Yuan Sui."

At this time, Ling Shucheng, who was also scarred, finally spoke. Yuan Sui looked up timidly and looked at him with disgusting, helpless eyes.

But what qualifies her to be helpless? Didn't she bring it all on herself!

"Yuan Sui, you listen to me first." Ling Shucheng pointed at her chest, and his voice was very calm, "After you left home, your brother has always wanted to go out to find you, so he worked so hard, and he learned so many things that he couldn't use even in military school at a young age...... Shoot. ”

“…… What did you say? ”

"Shoot." Ling Shucheng's meaning was already obvious, "It's okay, don't think about anything......"

"Ling Shucheng!" Yuan Sui's hoarse voice let out a chilling roar, like a monster hidden in a humanoid body was finally about to break out of the shell, "Don't force me...... Don't push me! ”

"You don't have to push yourself." Like Kong Zhongsi, Ling Shucheng could barely stand at the moment by relying on a tree that was broken from it. Yuan Sui saw him cough dullly again, and then wiped the corners of his mouth casually as if he didn't feel pain, and silently made a mouth shape.

Shoot.

Shoot.

Shoot.

Both were urging her. Hysterical, or calm as water.

She raised her arms and pulled the trigger with a trembling roar that would cause permanent damage to her throat.

-

Very softly.

Yuan Sui instantly bounced up from the bed, with a head full of cold sweat and a bellows-like panting, and looked straight at the person who opened the door.

"Did I wake you up?" Ling Shucheng was stunned by her reaction, "Have a nightmare? ”

The bizarre fragments faded quickly in Yuan Sui's mind, and she suddenly felt a little headache, nodded after a while, and shook her head again.

"I don't remember the specifics...... Yuan Sui hadn't recovered from his daze, Ling Shucheng had already handed over a cup of hot water, "But it seems that it was at a critical time, and it was cut off by you." ”

"Oh, I'm sorry." Ling Shucheng looked at her seriously, and finally threw out a plausible suggestion, "...... Then you lie down a little longer and try? Maybe you can pick it up. ”

As a "retired old man" who was called by Yuan Sui, he has always maintained the habit of getting up early and exercising in the morning. Generally speaking, because his action of cleaning up is very slight, Yuan Sui is not often woken up by him. There are occasional exceptions, though.

“…… How can it be. Besides, it's not a good dream. After thinking for a moment as he pressed his temples, which were still pounding abruptly on his forehead, Yuan Sui added, "I remembered. At the end of the dream, I seem to be pointing a gun at you, and you want me to shoot you...... I'm so. ”

"It doesn't matter." Ling Shucheng sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes shining in the sunlight shining through the window, "Even if you really shoot me, I may not die." ”

"Oh, look at your proud tone." Yuan Sui pursed his lips, "Wait, I remembered one more thing...... Where are my brother and his family of three? I suddenly wanted to beat him up. ”

"You ......" Ling Shucheng originally wanted to persuade her, thinking that Yuan Sui was unlikely to really do it, so he changed his words, "You forgot, he was supposed to come here for lunch today." If you go back to sleep, I'm about going to wake you up. ”

"Oh, I almost forgot." Yuan Sui stretched, "Since it's rare for me to get up a little early, I'll help you prepare lunch by the way." Is there any food left? ”

"I've already bought it back, but ......" Ling Shucheng looked a little embarrassed, "Are you sure ......?" Forget it, it can also allow you to practice. ”

"Huh?" Yuan Sui saw him open the drawer of his wallet, "It's really strange, did you forget to buy anything else?" ”

"No, I'm just going to get the money for a new pot first, so I don't get it too late." Ling Shucheng turned his head and said in a deep voice.
