"A week, okay?"
Ge Xiu trotted all the way to keep up with Lu Lai, who was striding, and bargained pitifully.
Lu Lai didn't look sideways, the hem of his clothes set off rolling black waves with his steps, and the military boots under his long legs tapped the metal ship floor with even and regular footsteps, and said inhumanly:
"One month."
Ge Xiu was ruthless and gritted his teeth: "... Half a month! Half a month is enough!"
Lu Lai's pace did not slow down, and he repeated unwaveringly:
"One month."
Ge Xiu's face suddenly collapsed, his pace stopped, and he was thrown far away in an instant.
Although he didn't look back, Lu Lai immediately noticed that the other party didn't keep up in time. He frowned without a trace, and he involuntarily slowed down his pace a little without even noticing it.
Ge Xiu thought of something, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he accelerated to catch up.
Lu Lai frowned.
But the next second, the boy's thin fingers that seemed to have only bones suddenly grabbed Lu Lai's wrist. wrist.
As soon as Lu Lai stopped, he looked down at Ge Xiu by his side.
Ge Xiu stuck his head out with a smile, and his dark eyes were bottomless, making people wonder if he was always calculating something all the time.
"Half a month, however, with a free benefit."
He winked at Lu Lai: "You can't miss this opportunity, you won't come back if you lose it."
Lu Lai stared at him calmly, his pale golden eyelashes drooping down like an arc of clear sunlight:
"Tell me."
The corners of Ge Xiu's lips curved deeper, revealing two pointed tiger teeth. He did not directly answer Lu Lai's question, but just dragged him forward, his eyes flickering with impatient gleams:
"follow me."
Lu Lai's face was calm, he looked down at his wrist, which was being pulled, and finally didn't shake off Ge Xiu, and walked in the direction he was pulling.
The man who had been walking fast in front of Ge Xiu just now and couldn't catch up with him was now slowly following behind him, keeping a distance just enough to be dragged away from him.
Ge Xiu trotted and dragged Lu Lai to the door of his room.
He let go of the other person's wrist and hurriedly dropped two words: "Wait!"
After he finished speaking, Ge Xiu was stunned. After scanning his pupils, Ge Xiu couldn't wait to get into the crack of the door, which was slowly opened, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Lu Lai's eyes were half-squinted, and he gently moved his wrist, which was grabbed all the way, and then stepped into the open ship door.
The room was a mess.
Apart from being smaller by half, the layout of the room here is similar to that of Lu Lai himself, but the inside is extremely... lifelike.
Lu Lai thought for a while, and finally chose this less critical word to describe Ge Xiu's house.
He frowned slowly as he stared at the overturned mess of the bed and the cluttered floor full of work equipment.
There was hardly any place to go, so Lu Lai stood at the entrance and waited.
Ge Xiu was bending over to rummage among the mechanical parts that were piled up randomly on the ground at the moment. The clanging and clanging voices could be heard incessantly. He took time out of his busy schedule to look behind him, as if he was unwilling to ask Lu Lai. Jiraiya wasn't terribly surprised.
His long voice was mingled with the fragmented crash:
"Wait—it'll be right away—"
After a few minutes, the piercing clanging sound finally stopped, Ge Xiu turned around with a strange-shaped steel thing, and was extremely skilled in finding a few landing spots on the chaotic ground, three steps. He jumped in front of Lu Lai in two steps, sweat dripping from the tip of his nose, his eyes were bright, and he looked like an ordinary teenager without any threat:
"Give."
Lu Lai took the ugly piece, and the moment it fell into his palm, Ge Xiu quickly reported a series of numbers.
A huge virtual star map was projected from the iron lump in an instant, filling the entire room, and the extremely pure azure blue instantly covered every corner of the room - it turned out to be an analog projection instrument.
Except for the aesthetics, which is a bit difficult to describe, the rest of the functions are extremely advanced.
Lu Lai recognized that this was his own battleship.
Ge Xiu looked up at him, the corners of his mouth curved: "Do you want to know how I escaped without setting off any alarms?"
Under the thick long eyelashes, his eyes were dark and deep, and the brilliant blue light that covered the whole room was reflected in his eyes, like thousands of stars, with a thrilling magnificence and treacherousness.
Lu Lai's heart jumped, and he moved his eyes disguisedly, turned his head and pretended to focus on the dangling main ship structure:
"… Um."
Ge Xiu approached him, reached out and touched the steel block in his palm a few times, his gesture command obviously activated a new plate, and several positions on the simulation map of the main ship were instantly marked in red, Then suddenly zoomed in in front of the eyes, and more details were revealed:
"I have to say, as expected of your ship, it is almost impeccable in terms of management and patrol arrangements, and the mechanical configuration of the hull is also extremely professional, but..." He smiled slightly and changed the subject: "—it's not completely without loopholes... "
Ge Xiu explained in an orderly manner.
Lu Lai lowered his eyes and couldn't help but startled slightly.
I don't know when they became very close.
The young man's hairy hair brushed against Lu Lai's chin, making him have to restrain his urge to withdraw, forcing himself to fix his gaze on Ge Xiu's face.
Because of his thinness, his face was almost the size of Lu Lai's slap. His brow bone, nose bridge, and jaw showed a feeling of fragility.
Every word and every sentence he said was extremely precise and ruthless, the angles were tricky and strange, and the sharp point of the weak point almost made the battle-hardened Lu Lai feel a faint sense of panic.
"… Hey!"
Ge Xiu suddenly raised his voice, raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Are you listening?"
Lu Lai came back to his senses: "You continue."
For the next two hours, Ghosh pointed out all the weaknesses and loopholes on the ship one by one, and even gave solutions extremely generously. Lu Lai listened intently and attentively, rarely interrupting, only occasionally throwing Asking a question or two, or revising Gexiu's comments in a more realistic direction, they didn't stop until the notification that dinner was starting sounded on the optical brains they carried with them.
Ge Xiu stretched his waist, his eyes narrowed slightly, like a cat stretching its limbs:
"How? Is it worth it?"
He winked: "Half a month? It's settled?"
Lu Lai stared at him without speaking, suddenly raised his hand and pressed it on Ge Xiu's head, rubbing it hard.
This time, Ge Xiu's reaction was much quicker, he flexibly bent over, escaped from Lu Lai's palm, and then stood a little further away from him, frowning in dissatisfaction, and bared his teeth: " If you have something to say, don't get started."
He raised his hand to straighten the top of his messed up hair, and muttered, "The president is not tall."
A smile appeared on Lu Lai's lips, and he waved at him:
"come over."
Ge Xiu rolled his eyes at him unceremoniously.
Lu Lai said slowly: "Your punishment time is reduced to ten days."
Ge Xiu hesitated for a few seconds, and finally succumbed to the fear of seeing no candy to eat, and reluctantly rubbed against him.
There was a soft smile in Lu Laizi's eyes. Those eyes that had been tempered into steel by the cold slaughter were like a lake melting ice and snow, with a doting that he didn't even notice. He raised his hand gently. Gently rubbing Ge Xiu's soft hair:
"Going to eat?"
Ge Xiu waved his hand impatiently: "Go ahead, I haven't finished a few mechanical projects before..."
"Reward a candy after dinner."
"Walk!"
Ge Xiu regained his energy, quickly walked past Lu Lai's side, and hopped toward the corridor outside the door.
Lu Lai stepped over the messy ground, turned his head and glanced at the almost appalling room that Ge Xiu had devastated, and finally couldn't hold back: "Where's the housekeeping robot sent to you?"
"threw."
Ge Xiu's answer was succinct and neat.
Lu Lai frowned even tighter: "Why?"
"They always mess up my work."
"… "
Is it possible that this house has been messed up even more
Lu Lai looked at the disastrous room suspiciously, and then sighed: "Wait, I'll ask Hall to set you up a workshop."
Ge Xiu, who had already walked all the way, suddenly turned his head and his eyes lit up: "Really?"
"real."
The two came to the captain's dining room, where Hall was already waiting for orders.
He put the food on the table in a daze, then turned away with a very dazed expression, while walking, thinking a little uncertainly - has the captain ever shown such a soft expression in front of others before? right? Did he just read it wrong
With a bitter face, Ge Xiu ate an extremely nutritionally balanced dinner under the strict supervision of Lu Lai.
It wasn't until the other party finally took out the candy from his pocket, he finally took it with a smile, and skillfully peeled it off and stuffed it into his mouth.
At this moment, the door of the ship's cabin opened silently, and an adjutant whom Ge Xiu had never seen strode out, leaning down and whispering a few words in Lu Lai's ear.
Lu Lai's cold and hard facial features were instantly covered with a layer of frost, and the killing coercion that had been diluted on his body flowed out from the whole body, and the heavy pressure almost caused the surrounding temperature to drop a lot. , he gracefully picked up the napkin, wiped the corners of his lips, and stood up.
Ge Xiu squinted his eyes, one cheek bulged by the sugar cube, and stared at him without saying a word.
Lu Lai looked down at him and asked calmly:
"go?"
This is an invitation. An invitation to open the doors of decision-making to him.
Ge Xiu laughed, the flames in his eyes burst out with extremely excited light, he jumped off the chair, the teeth on the corners of his lips were white and sharp:
"of course."
The author has something to say: Lu Lai: Punishment for one month! Not negotiable!
… well for half a month
… well ten days
...forget it today after dinner - and let Hall set you up for a workshop later
Hall: … Captain! You are discriminatory! ! ! (grief)
