Because of his injured paw pad, Rong Heng not only got the right to go back to his bedroom to sleep, but he didn't even have to go to school the next day.
Before going to school, the kids waved goodbye to him one by one, and told him to stay at home and recover from his injuries. One of them, Ruan Jiao, looked at him angrily, with the whiskers on his forehead standing straight up.
Bad guy!
But since he always had the same expression whether he was angry or not, no one could tell.
Rong Heng, who didn't have to go to school, was happy to take some time off at home. Ruan Shiqing was working on the design of the helipad in the workshop, so he lay on the workbench, resting his front paws on his head and watching him. The beautiful bow on his right paw swayed.
Without having to accompany the cubs, Ruan Shiqing stayed in the workshop for the whole day. By the time he finished the first draft of the design, it was nearly five o'clock in the afternoon. In a while, the cubs would be out of school.
After stretching his limbs and loosening his stiff body, Ruan Shiqing looked at Snowball who was lying on the workbench. The cub had fallen asleep with his paws resting on his head, and his exposed belly rose and fell.
After gently pinching the kid's ears, Ruan Shiqing went out to get some fresh air.
As soon as he walked out of the door, he bumped into Xiong Yuanyuan who was walking in. Xiong Yuanyuan immediately greeted him when she saw him, "There are guests looking for you."
Ruan Shiqing followed him out and saw two men standing in the yard.
One was younger, about 25 or 26 years old, tall and handsome, especially his blue eyes and long blue hair neatly tied behind his head were particularly eye-catching.
The other person's blue eyes and long hair were similar to those of a mermaid, which made Ruan Shiqing involuntarily take a few glances at her. He secretly thought that if the mermaid grew up, she would probably look like this.
Standing next to the young man was a middle-aged man, whose figure and temperament were inferior to the young man next to him, but compared with ordinary people, his figure and appearance were quite outstanding.
He is not a native of planet b3024, and is either rich or noble.
Ruan Shiqing quickly determined the identities of the two people, and quickly stepped forward to greet them, "Excuse me, may I ask what you two guests need?"
"We are here to do something. We heard that the weapons made here are very good, so we came to take a look. Where are their weapons?" The young man came in first. He glanced around the yard and sneered, "It looks like an ordinary repair shop."
His demeanor and tone were filled with condescending contempt.
"Wright, I've told you many times that you should learn the word politeness." The blue-haired young man glanced at him, his tone gentle but firm.
This Wright's status is definitely not as high as that of the young man. Ruan Shiqing found it a bit funny to see him looking unconvinced but unwilling to shut up.
"I'm sorry, he has always had this annoying temper. I hope you don't mind." The blue-haired young man said gently.
Ruan Shiqing shook his head: "What kind of weapon do you want?"
He led the two to the warehouse and said, "I do have some weapons here, but they are just gadgets I made in my spare time. You two may not be interested in them."
The warehouse stores samples of first-generation weapons, which are more expensive than mass-produced goods in factories and may also have certain defects.
The young man walked around the warehouse, picked up a blaster and looked at it carefully: "No wonder people here say that the weapons you have are very good."
Wright, who was following behind him, was still muttering in dissatisfaction: "These are all weapons I have never seen before. Who knows how powerful they are..."
Ruan Shiqing pretended not to hear and smiled politely. "You're too kind. These are just some old stuff that can't be sold."
The young man gave a cold sidelong glance to Wright who was muttering to himself, and the other party immediately shut up, but his expression was still unconvinced and indignant.
After handing the blaster to Wright, he picked out two other relatively light guns, and then said to Ruan Shiqing: "I want these three. In fact, compared with these weapons, I am more interested in the big thing you put in the yard. I wonder if you can explain it to us?"
Parked in the yard were some oversized light armored walkers.
Ruan Shiqing smiled faintly: "I'm afraid it won't work. It's still a semi-finished product."
"What a pity." The young man did not force it, but sighed with regret: "I'll just take these three first. If the performance is good enough, I'll come back next time."
After settling the bill, Ruan Shiqing escorted the two to the door. The young man's eyes stayed on the armored walker in the corner of the yard: "I hope I can see this machine completed next time I come."
Ruan Shiqing smiled politely, without any refusal, but just played Tai Chi: "It may take a long time."
Since Ruan Shiqing had to entertain guests, 09 went home alone to pick up the kids from school today.
The speeder stopped at the door. Dragon Cub and Nota jumped out first, followed by Ruan Jiao. The mermaid was the last one to get in slowly, then turned around to pick up the baby on the seat.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind: "I hope that next time I come, I can see this machine completed."
The mermaid's movements of picking up the hair were slightly stiff. She turned around and saw first a head of neatly tied long blue hair, and then a familiar face that was half tilted to the side.
The person who was sealed in the dark memory suddenly appeared before her eyes. The mermaid widened her eyes in surprise and almost stood still.
Before the other party turned around, he hurriedly got into the landspeeder.
When the young man turned around, he saw a strand of blue hair rising and falling. His eyes paused slightly on the landspeeder at the door, then quickly moved away. He raised the corner of his mouth and said to Wright, "Let's go."
It was not until the young man and his men had left for a long time that the mermaid nervously moved out from the corner.
09 in the driver's seat looked at him strangely: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
The mermaid shook her head and gave him a faint smile.
He was the last one to enter the house. The other cubs had already gathered around their father. Normally, he would also come over at this time. Even if he didn't join in the play, just watching them next to his father was something that made him happy.
But today he was in low spirits. His mind was filled with a familiar face, which made him feel nervous and uneasy.
Is it him? It must be him.
They had worked together day and night in the laboratory, and no one knew him better than the mermaid.
He recognized the other person the first time he saw him.
But why did he come here from Sijia Lanxing? And why did he happen to come to the repair shop? Was it a coincidence, or did he come here specifically to see him
The mermaid clenched her lips tightly, feeling increasingly uneasy.
He searched for a long time, but could not guess the other party's purpose. He had always been less intelligent than the other party.
Finally, he pursed his lips and gently pulled at his father's clothes.
"What does Yuebai want to say?" Ruan Shiqing turned around and looked at him, straightening his crooked headdress for him.
[This person just appeared. What are you doing here?]
The mermaid called up the virtual keyboard on the cart and typed her question.
—Since he learned how to type, Ruan Shiqing also built a communicator into his cart to facilitate communication between mermaids and humans.
"You mean the customer with the same hair color as you?" Ruan Shiqing thought he was curious too, so he smiled and said, "He came to the store to buy something." He fixed his eyes on the mermaid and looked at her carefully. He added, "I just felt that our eye and hair colors are very similar. Now it seems that even our facial features are somewhat similar."
However, the young man's facial features are more rigid, while the mermaid's are younger and softer.
The mermaid lowered her eyes in panic and shook her head to deny: [Not at all.]
"Why doesn't she look like him?" Ruan Shiqing rubbed the top of the mermaid's head and said softly, "When Yuebai grows up, her appearance will definitely not be inferior to that of this guest."
In the past, whenever his father praised him, the mermaid would curve his sapphire eyes and smile brightly.
But this time, he didn't feel it.
He doesn't want to look like the other person at all. He is himself, not someone else.
After leaving the repair shop, Wright finally couldn't hold back his anger: "Lansing, don't forget, we are here to investigate the Zerg, not to travel around."
His eyes swept over the desolate scene around him with disdain: "It's a place like this, I don't know what's so good about it. If the elders hadn't asked us to come here to investigate, I would never have set foot in such a dirty place in my life."
"Wright." Lansing, who was playing with the blaster, suddenly put the gun to his brow. His expression and tone were still gentle, but there was no joking in his ice-blue eyes: "I hope you remember that you are my assistant in this mission. Here, you only need to listen to my orders. You don't need any suggestions or opinions. Do you understand?"
The black gun barrel pressed against his forehead, making Wright's face pale. However, because of the repeated suppression, he couldn't help but retort and said sarcastically: "If you really dare to kill me, you can forget about being the Holy Son. My grandfather will not let you have an easy life!"
"Oh?" Lansing smiled, put away the blaster casually, and said to him sideways: "I'll find a chance to try it."
His tone and demeanor were so casual, as if he would really find an opportunity to kill him. Wright couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of water. But he was unwilling to be outdone, and said with his neck stiff, "It's good that you know the power relationship. Even if you are the Son of God, without the support of the elders, you are nothing!"
After saying this, he strode forward, shortening the distance between him and Lansing.
Lansing glanced at his tense back, his expression gradually becoming cold. He put away his gun and turned around, walking in the opposite direction of Wright, leaving only one sentence: "I have something to deal with, you go back first."
Wright, who was striding forward, paused: "Where are you going?"
However, Lansing did not respond and just left him and went in another direction.
He returned to the repair shop.
There is a protection system around the repair shop. Lansing did not rush in, but carefully hid his whereabouts and wandered outside the protection system.
As he approached the backyard, he heard some noise coming from inside.
Looking through the gaps in the wrought iron fence, you can see a few cubs frolicking in the pool among the lush falling star vines.
There was a cub lying in the corner of the pool, holding a book and reading quietly.
The cub's long blue hair was braided into an exquisite braid, decorated with gorgeous ornaments, and the ends of the hair fell behind it, with the ends immersed in the water, swaying along with a beautiful blue fish tail.
His feeling was not wrong, he knew that the fleeting figure was indeed him.
Looking at the figure intently, Lansing's mouth corners curled up little by little, turning into a silent laugh.
047, of course it is.
So many years have passed, and the world has changed dramatically, things have changed, and people have changed, but some things remain the same.
It's so clean that it's dazzling.
Lansing narrowed his eyes slowly.
