The hunting team from the Linshan base has returned.
The harvest this time was very rich, and no one was seriously injured. A group of people walked into the gate of the base talking and laughing, and everyone who passed by greeted them.
"Captain Du!"
"Du Yan, are you back?"
"Brother Zhu, your wife asked you to come back and help!"
Lin You was surrounded by the hunting team, and they laughed and responded. In the midst of the bustle, some people looked at her curiously through the gaps between the team members, and when they were caught by her gaze, they hurriedly looked away or smiled at her.
But no one will talk to her.
Some people frowned when they saw her, and the female team member next to her walked up to her to block other people's eyes, hooked her shoulder and smiled: "It's home, let's have a drink together tonight?"
Lin You smiled at her: "Probably not today."
"Oh, I forgot." She scratched her cheek, "You still have to test your body data, well, it will be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and I will find you when you are finished."
Lin You responded.
When they reached the central square, a young man ran over anxiously: "Brother Du!"
"What's the rush? What's going on?"
The young man took a breath: "Why did you come back, go back and have a look! An'an is sick and has a severe fever. Sister Zhao has also gone out for the past two days..."
Du Yan frowned: "I still have to go to the central building to hand over the report..."
He always puts business first. When Lin You heard this, he thought he would delay his return. But Du Yan paused suddenly, and after thinking for a moment, he looked at Lin You: "Youzi is going to the scientific research department, can you bring the report there for me? I'll go home first, and I'll explain the details later. "
There was encouragement in his eyes.
Lin You was stunned for a moment, knowing that Du Yan wanted her to get in touch with others more, so she accepted his favor and nodded slightly: "Okay."
"As for you guys, let's disband after escorting Yuzi to the place, and go back to each house!"
After Du Yan finished talking with the others, he patted Lin You on the shoulder and strode away. According to his instructions, the hunting team sent her to the central building and disbanded on the spot. Lin You swiped her ID card and entered the interior alone.
She first helped Du Yan deliver the report, and then went to the scientific research department to check various indicators of the body and abilities.
After the experiment was over, the experimenter called to her: "I've worked hard on you today. The deputy base chief seemed to have something to do with you. He told you to go there when you come back. It's not urgent. You can go back and rest first."
Lin You nodded: "Thank you."
She was indeed tired, but thinking that she would have to run again tomorrow, she couldn't get up, so she simply finished the work first.
It was already evening, and it was almost lunch time, but the deputy base chief Soledad was basically in the office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs 24 hours a day, so there was no need to worry about not being able to find anyone.
Lin You knocked on the door with the nameplate "Deputy Base Chief Office".
The next second, a serious and neat female voice came from across the door: "Please come in."
Lin You unscrewed the door, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled gold through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The woman sitting behind the desk pushed her gold-rimmed glasses, raised her head, and combed her long platinum-blond hair shining in the sun. Be meticulous and comb it behind your head.
"It's you." Soledad's tone softened slightly, and he put down his pen, "Just came back today? Sit down."
Doesn't look like business.
Lin You sat on the sofa, Soledad came out in the wheelchair and made two cups of tea. She is a very particular person, and she must treat guests with etiquette, even though it is the etiquette she decides on her own.
Soledad asked: "How does it feel to be part of the hunting party?"
Holding the hot tea, Lin You pondered over the sentence: "It is indeed the same as what the scientific research department said, often being in a combat state can promote the growth of abilities. Recently..."
"This kind of thing is clear from the experiment report." Soledad interrupted her, "I'm asking how you feel."
"..."
Lin You stroked the hair hanging down her cheeks, her hair has grown long recently. She said softly: "There is nothing wrong with it. Everyone in the team takes good care of me, and Brother Du will also pay attention to giving me opportunities to exercise..."
Soledad stared at her with green eyes behind the lens for a moment, then nodded: "That's good."
After saying this, the room fell into a moment of silence.
They don't seem to have much to talk about. Soledade didn't have time to chat either. Before the atmosphere became awkward, she took out a thin stack of music scores from the cabinet under the coffee table and pushed it to Lin You: "You are learning the harmonica recently."
Lin You was slightly taken aback: "It doesn't count, I'm just playing around..."
"That's okay." Soledad said, "The end of the year is coming soon, you know about the New Year's celebration. You have a special status, and if you participate in the performance of the show, it can boost morale to some extent-by the way, this is you My sister said it. My opinion is that it's best to put your safety first...”
"That's so boring."
On the open balcony, a frivolous female voice suddenly sounded. Soledad and Lin You turned their heads together, and Tang Xiaoyi shook two big lunch boxes at them: "Hi~Dad, your takeaway has been delivered."
Soledade's forehead was twitching with blue veins: "Don't call me Dad!"
"Hahahaha, isn't it good to be a father?"
"Being your parents is the biggest disaster. I respect the uncles and aunts who raised you so much."
"Yeah, I'll convey my greetings to you in the future."
Tang Xiaoyi casually put down the lunch box and sat on the office chair, the chair's rollers carried her from one end to the other. She said to Lin You: "Anyway, that's what happened. This is a song that Soli specially wrote for you, Yuzu~ah, I don't even have this kind of treatment."
Lin You: "...Thank you."
"You don't need to thank me," Soledad said.
Having said that, Lin You picked up the stack of music scores, and the title of the song was written on the first page... "Morning Star".
She was in a slightly complicated mood, and lost her mind for a while before the name. Tang Xiaoyi slid the chair to her side: "Do you think it's too difficult? It's okay, just learn casually. If you can't learn it, just change to a simple program."
Soledad: "…"
Tang Xiaoyi: "Oh, but it's better to learn. Suo Li was very careful when she wrote this song, but if she didn't use it in the end, she would be pissed off, hahaha."
As she spoke, she casually picked up the kettle beside her and watered the potted cactus on the coffee table.
Soledad was about to die of anger from her now, and snatched it away: "I told you a hundred times not to water Emma Rhodes, Tang Xiaoyi, did you do it on purpose?"
"Smooth, smooth."
Lin You: ... Emma Rhodes
Sensing her gaze, Tang Xiaoyi explained with a smile: "Soli will name her favorite cactus, is she more like a child than you?"
"..."
The deputy base chief, who has always been steady and calm, had a murderous look in his eyes at this moment, and Lin You wisely shut up silently.
Soledad said, "What the hell are you here for? Go away if you have nothing to do!"
"Wow, I didn't even eat my own dinner to bring you food..."
"If you have time, why not deal with your documents, don't throw them to me and run away without a trace. Without so much work, will I still have no time to eat?"
"It's not good to complain about the heavy workload in front of the boss... Haha, don't look at me like that, just kidding. Are you better at this, Solly? Those who are able should work harder?"
Tang Xiaoyi didn't take the deputy's complaints seriously at all, and changed the subject as if nothing had happened: "Eat first, or it will be cold. You didn't eat the grapefruit, did you? I brought a lot of vegetables over, do you want to eat together?"
Lin You always felt that it was unnecessary for her to stay, so she shook her head and refused: "I'll go back first."
"Okay then, have a good rest." Tang Xiaoyi didn't hold her back too much.
"Slow down," Soledad said, but kept looking at her.
"..." Lin You realized, "Ah, I will practice hard on this."
She nodded with satisfaction.
After Lin You left, the room was quiet for a while, and Soledad looked at Tang Xiaoyi who had taken out the food and put it away: "Is this okay?"
"It's nothing bad." Tang Xiaoyi said, "Compared to before the start of the experiment plan, isn't she more angry now? After joining the hunting team, she will gradually smile sincerely. People still have to find a way to prove their self-worth, will become stronger."
Soledad said: "But the number of people staring at her has also increased. Shiwan has sent an application for the third time to advance the experiment faster or transfer people to them. That Professor Yi It is indeed capable, and other bases may be inclined to their plan out of consideration."
"That old fox Xiang Yushu, why didn't he say to transfer their people over..."
Tang Xiaoyi muttered a few words, and turned over on the coffee table: "No way, who made Yuzu my important family member. Let me figure out a way for this kind of thing, as long as she lives her life well... the past is over , after a long time, she will always understand this."
Soledad was slightly silent.
"Oh, of course there is Miss Suo Li, my most important deputy. I can't do anything without you." Tang Xiaoyi didn't find what she wanted, "Soli, where is the coffee you put here? Have you finished it? "
"here."
Soledad showed it to her, lowered his eyes and said indifferently: "Don't flatter me. I'm just a cripple without supernatural powers. Without me, there are plenty of substitutes."
"Ah... you are too vengeful!"
When Tang Xiaoyi heard her say this, she felt uncomfortable all over her body: "Are you going to settle the old score after such a long time? And at that time, it was obviously to save you..."
"Hmph, who knows."
"I'm sorry, have I apologized to you more than a dozen times?" Tang Xiaoyi finished making her own coffee and served her some food, "Let it pass by with the wind! I really can't live without you, after all You are not Soledad now, but my Soley."
Soledad ignored her.
The sky outside the window gradually darkened, and then overflowed with bright sunlight as the stars moved.
Lin You has just returned to the base, and the next three days will be her vacation. She had nothing to do during the day, so she picked up the sheet music that Soledad gave her, and went to the back mountain to find a place where no one was there to practice the harmonica.
Even if the weather is sunny in winter, it is a bit bleak.
Lin You sat under the tree, using the trunk to block the cold wind. After practicing a few sentences, a familiar soft complaint came from above: "It's so ugly, I can't perform on stage like this."
