Xu Qinglang clearly felt that the moment Xu Yu's figure appeared, the body of the person behind him trembled violently and gradually stiffened.

Xu Qinglang's eyes sank.

His footsteps moved slightly, and his body moved to the side, which happened to be between Jiang Yu and Xu Yu, blocking Xu Yu's sight tightly.

Sensing that the hem of his clothes was sinking, it was Jiang Yu who held his clothes tightly, and Xu Qinglang's arm leaned back and gently grabbed the wrist of the person behind him.

The skin touched by the palm of his hand was cold, Jiang Yao's body temperature was already lower than that of ordinary people, and it was even colder at this time, almost a few points lower than the temperature of the deep sea.

Xu Qinglang's hand clenched tighter, and his thumb gently rubbed twice on the other party's cold wrist, as if he wanted to give the other party some support.

"Long time no see, Professor Xu." Xu Yu didn't seem to notice Xu Qinglang's movements, and took two steps forward after putting away the gun.

"I'm sorry." Xu Qinglang suddenly said, "I am more sensitive to the smell of gunsmoke, and I ask Professor Xu not to come any closer." ”

Xu Yu paused, glanced down at the gun on his waist, and stood still.

"I didn't know that Professor Xu had such a problem." Xu Yu's tone was gentle, but the words he said were not so friendly, "I haven't seen you for so many days, and I can't even stand the smell of smoke." ”

He paused, as if realizing something, and asked, "Or are you actually feeling sorry for your former friend?" ”

Seeing that Xu Qinglang didn't speak, Xu Yu said to himself: "There is nothing to be sad about, born in such an environment, no matter who you are, you must be ready to die at any time." Do you say, Professor Xu? ”

"Maybe." Xu Qinglang said, "The institute still has something waiting for me, and I am not with him." ”

He didn't want to talk to Xu Yu anymore, so he pulled Jiang Yu around him and walked towards the place where the entrance was inspected.

Jiang Yu was by Xu Qinglang's side, and there was no chance of direct contact with Xu Yu during the whole process.

At the moment when he passed by Xu Yu, Xu Qinglang heard Xu Yu suddenly speak: "Professor Xu, some mutant species are very good at disguising themselves. He whispered, "I hope you can keep your eyes open, but don't find out until the end that you have been deceived by something that is not even human." ”

The body on his side stiffened a little more, and Xu Qinglang simply raised his hand to wrap his hand around the shoulders of the young man next to him and hugged the person into his arms.

"Thank you Professor Xu for your kindness." He whispered, the word 'kindness' deliberately accentuated by him, "You can rest assured, thanks to you, I am very cautious now, whether it is with mutated species or ...... Popularity. ”

Xu Qinglang glanced at Xu Yu coldly, without stopping his footsteps, and pulled Jiang Yu to the inspector.

The two were tested and entered the base after the results were correct.

As for the words that Chen Qianhua shouted before he died, no one present took it to heart. Everyone has seen too many infected people before they die, and it is not uncommon for people to want to pull people into the water before they die, and it is not the first time that they have poured dirty water on other survivors.

Jiang Jin's normal test results have explained everything.

Xu Yu, who was standing next to the entrance, had cold eyes for a moment, and he didn't know what he thought, he suddenly hooked his lips and laughed silently, with an almost undisguised no in his smile

With good intentions.

After successfully entering the base,

Xu Qinglang didn't linger at the entrance anymore,

Holding Jiang Yao's shoulder and arm tightly, he brought the person back to the research institute.

It wasn't until he returned to the room that the young man's stiff body finally relaxed.

Xu Qinglang closed the door and asked him softly, "Are you scared?" ”

Jiang Jian glanced up at him and shook his head.

Xu Qinglang saw the dark color that had not completely receded from his eyes, raised his hand and rubbed Jiang Jin's head, and didn't say anything.

It was still early for them to arrive at the base, and Xu Qinglang accompanied Jiang Yu in the room for a meeting, and then got up to prepare to go to the experimental building.

However, he had barely taken two steps from the side of the bed when his sleeve was pulled.

Xu Qinglang's footsteps stopped, and without the slightest hesitation, he returned to the bed and sat down again.

"Do you want me to stay with you a little longer?" He asked softly.

Jiang Jin didn't nod or shake his head, but his fingers tightened his sleeves.

After a moment, he raised his head, opened and closed his lips and asked, "You said you wanted to take a sample from me for experiments, right?"

Xu Qinglang nodded: "The sample is not in a hurry to be asked for today, you can come back when you are rested." ”

Jiang Jian pursed the corners of his lips and asked: Do you want to take a sample from me, is it because you also think that I am not a human being?

Xu Qinglang didn't answer him this question, but asked him: "Then are you a human being?" ”

Jiang Jian raised his eyes, and those eyes that were indistinguishable from human beings looked at him for a moment without blinking, and then shook his head.

No, he said, in your human terms, I'm a mutant species.

Xu Qinglang didn't expect him to admit it directly, and after being stunned for a moment, he whispered, "Okay, I know." ”

After speaking, he touched Jiang Jin's head, as gentle as ever, with a reassuring force.

Jiang Jin didn't seem to expect him to react like this, a trace of confusion flashed in his delicate face, and the emotions in his eyes were slightly moved.

After a while, he suddenly asked: Aren't you curious, what am I, why did I disguise myself as a human to approach you and follow you to the human base?

This sentence is a bit long, and it is a little difficult to recognize it by lip language alone, but Xu Qing

Lang was used to recognizing what Jiang Jin said in this way.

"Curious." Xu Qinglang told the truth, "But if I said something curious, would you tell me?" ”

The young man in front of him lowered his eyelashes and did not speak.

Xu Qinglang smiled and didn't continue to ask the topic.

On the contrary, Jiang Jian suddenly raised his head, opened and closed his lips and asked him: If I say that what Chen Qianhua said is right, I am really the Siren Siren?

Xu Qinglang's expression didn't change for a moment, and he still asked in a gentle tone: "If you are a kraken siren, then will you still be Jiang Jin?" ”

This question sounded a little strange at first, but Jiang Jin understood what he meant.

He was silent for a moment and didn't respond, Xu Qinglang lowered his eyes, sighed in his heart, and said slowly: "It can't be, right?" ”

But seeing the young man shook his head and said: If I am a siren, I can also be Jiang Jin.

Xu Qinglang was slightly stunned, and his eyes softened.

Jiang Jian asked him again: If I say that I am not a siren, will you believe me?

Xu Qinglang did not hesitate

Nodding: "You said no,

That's not it. ”

Jiang Jin was surprised by his unhesitating attitude,

His eyes flickered slightly, and he lowered his eyelashes again, hiding the mixed emotions at the bottom of his eyes.

He didn't speak again for a long time, Xu Qinglang thought that this topic was over, but saw that the other party raised his eyes again.

The pale soft lips open and close: What if I were a Siren and lie to you that I am not?

Xu Qinglang lowered his eyes and looked at him, the other party's dark eyes looked particularly stubborn at this moment, and Xu Qinglang even saw some vague apprehension that was not completely hidden.

"As long as I don't ask, you're just concealing, not cheating." The corners of his lips hooked slightly, "If you don't tell me, naturally you have a reason." When you feel the right time, it's never too late to tell me, isn't it? ”

Xu Qinglang took the young man into his arms, hugged him gently, and whispered in the other party's ear: "I won't ask you such a question, I will wait for the day when you take the initiative to tell me." ”

Xu Qinglang's voice was extremely soft, but it was full of soft power that could instantly calm people's irritated minds.

A mocking chuckle sounded in his mind, and it was Xu Zhimo who said: [Heh, hypocrisy. 】

Xu Qinglang ignored him, but slightly tightened the hand holding the young man.

Jiang Jin was hugged by him, and after a while, he raised his hand and hugged Xu Qinglang's waist back.

The two sat on the edge of the bed with each other like this, and it was not until someone knocked on the door of the room from the outside, and a team member came to Xu Qinglang and asked him to go to the laboratory, Xu Qinglang finally let go of his arm.

"Just wait for me in the room?" Xu Qinglang asked softly, "Or do you want to wait for me in my studio like before?" ”

Jiang Jian raised his head from his arms and said silently: Go to the studio.

Xu Qinglang snorted, and when he got up, he naturally held Jiang Jin's hand.

The young man's body temperature was still much lower than him, but it was still higher than when he saw Xu Yu at the entrance of the base before.

The team members at the door of the room saw the two of them walking out holding hands, but instead of showing surprise, they showed a look of understanding on their faces.

"I still have to go get some things, Professor Xu, you go first, I'll be right away." The team member said, turning his foot and walking away in the opposite direction from them.

After coming to the studio, Xu Qinglang took out some books from the locker and put them on the desk.

"I'm not sure how long I'm going to do today's experiment." Xu Qinglang said, "I will come out as soon as possible, if it is too late, you will go back to the room to sleep first, don't stay up all night waiting for me, you know?" ”

Jiang Jin shook his head and pointed to the sofa next to him, meaning that he was waiting for him here.

Xu Qinglang knew how stubborn Jiang Jin's temper was, so he could only sigh in his heart and decided to solve today's experiment as soon as possible, not to let the other party wait too long.

Before leaving, Xu Qinglang raised his hand and rubbed the young man's cheek, helped him put a broken hairpin behind his ear, and then turned around and prepared to leave.

But he heard a sudden call behind him: "Xu Qinglang." ”

The voice was very soft, with a little strange accent, but the timbre was like a spring falling on a rock, which made some waves in people's hearts.

Xu Qinglang paused, and suddenly turned around to look at the young man behind him: "You-"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Jin interrupted him: "Is there a sample bottle?" ”

Xu Qinglang was stunned for a moment and pointed to the drawer on the table.

Jiang Jin took one out of the drawer, and the thumb nail cut a small wound on the tip of the index finger.

Bright red, faintly gilded blood spilled from the wound and pooled on the white, soft fingertips.

Before the blood dripped down the ground, Jiang Yu caught the blood from his fingertips with the sample bottle.

One drop, two drops, three drops.

He took a total of three drops of blood and directly covered the bottom of the small sample bottle.

Jiang Jian closed the cap of the bottle and reached out to hand the glass bottle to Xu Qinglang.

Xu Qinglang subconsciously raised his hand and wanted to take the bottle, but the other party's arm shook lightly and dodged his hand again.

"I said yes." Jiang Yao hooked his lips at him and smiled lightly, "One drop of blood for two kisses, Professor Xu, you don't know how to speak, right?" ”！
