Early the next morning.

When Chen Jing heard the knock on the door, he was still eating breakfast in the restaurant.

Breakfast was not plentiful.

Just simple somen noodles with fried eggs.

The frozen alkaline water surface in the refrigerator is cooked and put into a bowl as white as jade, and it is covered with spicy sauce after a few simple mixes, and then the egg liquid that flows out from time to time in the soft-boiled eggs...... What I eat is spicy and fragrant!

Chen Jing remembered that he hadn't eaten like this for a long time.

It used to be made for him by his grandmother.

Later, I did it myself.

And after that...... When he stepped into the workplace and started working, he almost always solved his breakfast outside, even on his days off, he ordered takeout directly at home.

But as far as he gets up at noon, what he eats is not breakfast.

"This vice president is quite good at picking a time to come to the door......"

Chen Jing held half a bowl of unfinished noodles in his hand, and only wondered if the members of the [Aether Association] were as unreliable as Li Mobai.

"I'll come back when I'm done eating......"

Let's talk about it.

Chen Jing swept away the noodles in the bowl with five by two.

Without waiting for him to get up and take the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen, Qiao Youning hurriedly reached out to stop him.

"Give it to me! I'll take it and wash it! You're down to business! ”

"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Jing raised his hand to take the tissue handed by Qiao Youning and wiped his mouth, looking at the generous Qiao Youning, he couldn't help but sigh, "You have indeed become different from before......

"Huh? Have it? Qiao Youning just walked to the kitchen door and couldn't help but stop and look back, but she only saw Chen Jing's back.

Now.

Chen Jing had already opened the door of the old mansion.

There was an old man standing outside the door.

He was like a heavy, silent black mountain, his burly figure almost blocking the door frame, and a suffocating sense of oppression came to his face.

Sunlight seeping through the cracks in the door frames.

Chen Jing could barely see the old man's face clearly.

Judging by the age spots all over his face, he should be older than the old man, at least eighty years old.

The dull skin is loose and weak, and the corners of his eyes are lifelessly drooping, as if he is an old man who is about to die, and the whole person exudes an extremely strong aura of death, but the extreme contrast is......

is such an old man who is like a candle blown out in the wind, but he has a burly and terrifying body, and his extremely bulging muscles bulge a terrifying curve under the casual suit.

He is like a male lion in his twilight years living on the grassland.

Even the eyelids are only half-open, and the thick eyebrows and pale beard are still in a state of explosion.

"Chen Jing?" The old man suddenly spoke, his majestic and deep voice was like a muffled thunder, and his tone sounded a little puzzled, he didn't seem to dare to believe the seemingly weak young man in front of him...... It is the legendary "Sequence 2 Old Descendant".

Compared with Raphael, who is known as the Holy Son of Moonlight, it is really too bad.

"Vice President?"

Chen Jing did not feel frightened by the old man's momentum, and there was no nervousness in his clear eyes, but only a child-like curiosity.

At this moment, Chen Jing could be sure that this old man was not a candidate, because Chen Jing could not feel the slightest breath of the old descendants in him, and he was not even the most basic transcendent...... Yes, he's just a human being.

Ordinary human beings.

But his momentum was as powerful as Chen Jing had never seen before.

The old man seemed to be a lion standing outside the door with his eyelids drooping, looking at Chen Jing condescendingly, and there was a kind of scrutiny in his cloudy eyes.

"Why is this person a little familiar......" Chen Jing muttered in his heart, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, he really felt as if he had seen this old man somewhere!

At this time.

Bai Aji, who was resting in the courtyard, still looked so leisurely, only occasionally looking back at the old mansion...... It can be seen from its performance that it doesn't take this old man seriously at all, and it doesn't think that the old man can threaten Chen Jing.

The gap between ordinary humans and their old descendants is like a moat.

That's something you can't get over anyway.

"You've grown up."

The old man suddenly raised his hand and stretched out his hand to Chen Jing, as if he wanted to touch the young man's head, but it was obvious that Chen Jing was the kind of person who was extremely vigilant, and he didn't like to have this kind of intimate action with strangers.

So at the same time as the old man stretched out his hand, Chen Jing took a step back quietly, but he still had a smile on his face.

"Listen to Li Mobai, do you know my grandfather?"

"Don't let me in and sit?" The old man asked.

Hearing this, Chen Jing hurriedly got out of the way, his expression a little ashamed.

"I was rude......"

The old man smiled, didn't say anything, and stepped over the threshold and walked into the old mansion, which he had not set foot in for many years.

"The first time I saw you, you were just an infant baby, and the second time I saw you, you were four years old......"

Speaking of this, the old man slowly sat down on the sofa, his burly and huge body almost sinking in, and the smile on his face was full of memories.

"I was too young to remember you." Chen Jing sat on the sofa next to the old man, and quietly glanced left and right, trying to find something that could be used to greet guests.

But after looking around, I only found small snacks piled up in the fruit basket.

It's all spicy konjac and small fish......

"You're welcome." Chen Jing pushed the fruit basket in front of the old man.

The old man was silent without saying a word, but the corners of his eyes twitched visibly twice.

"You're just like your grandfather." The old man looked at the various snacks in the fruit basket in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh, "You don't seem to know how to be hospitable. ”

"I don't usually have guests at home." Chen Jing touched his nose in embarrassment, searching his mind for memories of the old man.

Carefully recalled.

Chen Jing unexpectedly discovered that he really had a vague memory when he was a child, and he could match the old man's oral number.

That was when he was very young.

I can't remember what day it was.

In the courtyard of the old house.

Suddenly, an old man who was as big as a blind bear appeared.

"I've read all of your information."

The old man stared at Chen Jing intently, as if he wanted to find something from this face, and his voice was still low.

"It is said that three years old looks at the youngest and seven years old looks old, your growth trajectory is the same as I expected, but it is a little different."

Chen Jing sat on the sofa and felt a little uncomfortable staring at him, so he couldn't help but pick up a bag of snacks, carefully tore open a hole, poured out the drunkard peanuts inside, and sent them to his mouth one by one.

"What's different?" Chen Jing asked.

"Silent, introverted, shy, and unsociable, just like your grandfather was when he was younger...... But now it seems like I've lost my eyes. ”

As soon as the words fell, the old man suddenly laughed and stretched out his hand to Chen Jing.

"Reacquaint yourself with the ...... My name is Huangfu Huaisui. ”

The old man's rough palms were full of calluses, and when Chen Jing shook hands with him, he only felt that he was holding a dead branch.

"He is currently the vice president of [the Aether Association] and one of the main leaders of the Antarctic expedition project that he co-sponsored with the Wood Private Consortium."
