Chen Gong smiled, of course he couldn't take Hu Ningning's words seriously, but he liked to hear Hu Ningning say this, this was a proof of their brother and sister relationship.

Chen Gong touched Hu Ningning's head and said jokingly: "It seems that my brother will have to wait a few more years." ”

Hu Ningning knew that Chen Gong didn't take her words to heart, but when she heard Chen Gong's answer, her heart still skipped a beat, knowing that it was a joke, but she was still full of joy.

A few years, enough to make my brother like me. When I am admitted to Rongcheng University, I will have to be with my brother every day! Hu Ningning secretly made up his mind in his heart.

After returning home and settling Hu Ningning to sleep, Chen Gong began his cultivation again. It's not so much about cultivation, it's more about researching, studying the last spiritual power diffusion movement.

Since the last time he discovered that the spiritual power diffusion movement could achieve automatic cultivation, Chen Gong had not relaxed his control over the spiritual power in his chest, no matter what he did, he would always divide some thoughts into his chest, and now it was time to test the effect of such cultivation.

Since the diffusion movement was an uncontrolled natural phenomenon, it proceeded extremely slowly, and the results achieved were not obvious, but Chen Gong could still feel the increase in his spiritual power.

In addition to the spiritual power, there are also some subtle changes in the chest of the test area, but unfortunately this change is not obvious, and Chen Gong has no information to refer to, so he can't say why for a while.

This kind of thing is not urgent, so Chen Gong is ready to fight a protracted battle in his heart.

Automatic cultivation is good, but his own active cultivation cannot be relaxed, Chen Gong sat cross-legged and began to cultivate the Xuanshui Technique.

Chen Gong has been living in Shangdu Garden for ten days, and Hu Jianguo has already called, saying that he will be busy tomorrow, and then he can allocate some energy and manpower to be responsible for the safety of his family, so it is time for Chen Gong to leave.

In the past ten days, Hu Ningning's performance has been extremely good, not only in his studies, but also in life, he has also learned a lot from Chen Gong, he can cook some simple meals independently, at least when he is at home alone, he doesn't have to eat instant noodles and cold rice, which makes Chen Gong very pleased.

As for the lab, it's been going well. Chen Gong and Xu Xinjie were each making preparations for dividing their own shares, and there was not much communication, Chen Gong could only judge from her face that she seemed to have encountered something troubled recently, and her expression was getting colder day by day.

After ten days of deliberate control, Chen Gong's chest position has truly become a fully automatic spiritual power absorption site that does not need to be controlled, and due to the existence of the life cup, this automatic absorption ability has a tendency to become more powerful.

Just like a tiger that is fed every day will not have too much aggression, the life cup can be said to be soaked in spiritual power in the past, but now it is often interrupted, and its demand for spiritual energy seems to become urgent all of a sudden, and even faintly, there will be a trace of suction on the spiritual energy outside Chen Gong's body.

Because he was leaving tomorrow, Chen Gong decided to give Hu Ningning a final explanation: "Jingjing, from tomorrow, my brother will not live here." ”

"Hmm. Hu Ningning's mood was obviously a little low.

It's a pity that Chen Gong, who was thinking about his own affairs, didn't find anything abnormal, and continued: "Brother still has a scientific research project to do in school, and he will go out for sampling in the next period of time, and I am afraid that the matter of making up classes will be delayed for a while, so you can arrange your own study time, okay?"

Hu Ningning, who was still a little unhappy that Chen Gong couldn't live in his own house, didn't expect a bigger blow to be behind, his body trembled slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "How long will it take?"

Chen Gong smiled and said: "It will take about ten days, because it is an all-weather operation, and I have to go to many places in Shu Province." ”

"So long, then I haven't seen my brother for more than ten days?" Hu Jingjing pouted a little sadly, his tone full of pity.

It's good to have someone to worry about, Chen Gong saw that Hu Ningning was so reluctant to leave by himself, and his heart was also warm, and he gently scratched her little nose and said: "Although I am going to other places, I will sometimes go back to Rongcheng at night during this period." Brother will definitely come to see you then. ”

Hearing Chen Gong's words, Hu Ningning finally smiled, and said coquettishly: "When you go back to Rongcheng, you must come to see me." ”

"You little girl, didn't you find a way to let your brother go every day?" Chen Gong smiled and began to talk about what happened when he first met Hu Ningning.

Hu Jingjingqiao's face was slightly red, she lowered her head and didn't speak, at this moment, she really looked like a little wife seeing off her husband.

After nightfall, the sky in Rongcheng is filled with hot and humid air, which is a harbinger of rain.

Sure enough, as a few bolts of lightning swept across the sky, the explosions and thunders also came one after another, disturbing the originally silent Rongcheng.

Hu Ningning has a girl's natural fear of such a thunderstorm, she can only shrank in the corner of the bed trembling alone, grabbing the pillow with both hands, and covering her ears tightly.

In the study, Chen Gong ignored the thunder and lightning, but took advantage of the rainy night to step up his cultivation.

It's just that this cultivation was finally interrupted by Hu Ningning's scream, and in the end, Chen Gong could only hold her hand tightly in Hu Ningning's room, and kept comforting her, until dawn the next day.

After returning to the laboratory, there were still not many words between Chen Gong and Xu Xinjie, but after getting along for such a long time, the two still had some tacit understanding, at least in the division of labor, the two cooperated very well.

Both of them have good experimental habits, which makes them appreciate each other, and this appreciation, although unspoken, is more comfortable than those vain compliments.

After cleaning up the experimental preparation room today, the two did not leave immediately, after all, tomorrow the two of them had to go to a heavily polluted water area in Shu Province for sampling, which required some tools and equipment to be put in the car in advance.

The scientific research environment of Rongcheng University is very good, and for researchers who go out to carry out scientific research tasks, the department will have special off-road vehicles and can be equipped with special drivers.

It's just that with Xu Xinjie's temper, she doesn't like to find an unrelated person to mix in her project, and she can drive herself, so she insists on driving by herself.

Chen Gong was a little embarrassed by letting the girl drive, he felt that he still needed to get his driver's license, no matter what, he still had a deposit of three million on his bank card, and it would not be difficult to buy a car in the future, and it would be more convenient in life.

After moving the tools, it was already a little late, and the two of them left the experimental building, and Xu Xinjie still looked cold.

Of course, Chen Gong knew that this was due to Xu Xinjie's character, and he had gotten used to it these days, so he just walked silently, and he didn't plan to say anything.

Only this time, a black Mercedes-Benz was parked at the door of the experimental building, and a sturdy and cold man stood next to the car.

Chen Gong obviously felt that the cold air emanating from Xu Xinjie beside him was a little thicker.

When the man saw Xu Xinjie and Chen Gong approaching, he immediately opened the back seat door and said to Xu Xinjie respectfully: "Miss, please get in the car!"

Xu Xinjie was stunned, and was about to walk away directly, but a middle-aged man who looked a little handsome, with a face like a knife, but also had a cold expression came out of the co-pilot seat.

As soon as this man saw Xu Xinjie, the cold on his face immediately disappeared, and was replaced by a faint smile.

When Xu Xinjie saw this man, her face changed slightly, and she said with some surprise: "Uncle Sun, why are you here?"

"Today is the 70th birthday of the old man of the Han family, and your father specially asked me to pick you up to participate. Sun Lifeng said with a smile.

In fact, Xu Xinjie already knew about this matter, and it was her father who told her, but she didn't plan to participate, because this old man Han was none other than Han Chong's grandfather, who had come before.

It's just that Xu Xinjie didn't expect that her father would ask Sun Lifeng to come and pick her up because of this matter.

Sun Lifeng is one of Xu Xinjie's father Xu Wei's most loyal subordinates, he has watched Xu Xinjie grow up since he was a child, and is responsible for picking up Xu Xinjie to and from school, although he is now back to Xu Wei's side, but the relationship between him and Xu Xinjie is the deepest.

Xu Wei knew that Xu Xinjie respected Sun Lifeng very much, no matter how indifferent she was, it was impossible for her to refuse Sun Lifeng, not to mention, if things really changed, Sun Lifeng wanted to be strong, and Xu Xinjie would not be able to resist.

Chen Gong, who was standing on the side, was a little embarrassed at this time, he couldn't go, he couldn't go, he could only stand on the side, thinking about the connection between the scene in front of him and some things before.

Thinking of the phone call he first heard outside the 502 laboratory, and the lonely figure he saw Xu Xinjie leaning against the window when he left, Chen Gong suddenly wanted to help Xu Xinjie.

No matter how you look at it, Xu Xinjie definitely didn't want to participate in that old man Han's seventieth birthday, so Chen Gong stepped forward with an embarrassed face and said, "Dr. Xu, you have something to do at night, but when the experiment reaches the most critical time, if you leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with it." ”

Xu Xinjie was feeling annoyed, and when she heard Chen Gong interject, she was slightly stunned and understood, and said to Sun Lifeng in embarrassment: "Uncle Sun, you have also seen it, I really can't leave tonight, or if you tell my father, I won't go." ”

Sun Lifeng's experience in the rivers and lakes is so sophisticated, how could he not see that his young lady was playing a double reed with the man in front of him, but he didn't expose it, just looked at Chen Gong and Xu Xinjie meaningfully, and finally said: "Since this is the case, there is no way." ”

Xu Xinjie breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time threw a grateful look at Chen Gong, this was the first time she did not have a trace of coldness in Chen Gong's gaze.

Sun Lifeng gestured to the cold man before, then got into the car, looked at Xu Xinjie and said, "Miss, then I'll go first." ”

"Uncle Sun walked slowly. Xu Xinjie smiled and said, since her mother died, in that cold home, she only smiled at Sun Lifeng.

Sun Lifeng sighed, lowered his voice and said, "Miss, unless you can find a man who is better and more * than Han Chong, the master will not give up, you have to do it yourself." Next time, it may not be so easy to pass. ”

Looking at the black Daben who was gone, Xu Xinjie stood in place in a daze, feeling cold. Sun Lifeng's last kind reminder made her newly relaxed heart fall to the bottom again.

With Xu Wei's character, he will never give up until he reaches his goal, as Sun Lifeng said, can he hide from the first year of junior high school and the fifteenth?

If only Grandpa and Mom were here. Thinking of this, Xu Xinjie's sadness was even stronger, tears swirled in her eyes, but in the end they didn't come out, she was stubborn and strong, and she didn't want to expose her weakness in front of outsiders.

Of course, Chen Gong could see that Xu Xinjie was in an extremely bad mood, and he wanted to go up to comfort him, but he didn't know where to start, except for scientific research, Chen Gong and her chatted no more than three words.

In the end, Chen Gong decided to walk away quietly.

Looking at the back of Chen Gong leaving, Xu Xinjie felt even more lonely and helpless.

"Chen Gong!" Xu Xinjie's voice sounded from behind Chen Gong, with a hint of weakness that had never been felt before.

Chen Gong turned around and saw Xu Xinjie standing there alone, and said with bitterness in his tone: "Accompany me to drink." ”

Chen Gong looked at Jie Xinjie and said slowly: "Okay!"
