"I would rather not be an enemy of you for the rest of my life, let alone kill you."
Yan Yan finished this sentence, put his face away, and said calmly: "However, you can form a team. After all, we are now fully cooperating. The greater the benefits to me when you become stronger."
"However, I just want to show my attitude today. I will never overpower you because of the power, even if you are alone."
Having said this, Yan Yan took away the cigarette from Xu Lang's desk, raised the lighter Xu Lang had given him before, and left.
Xu Lang stood there, watching Yan Yan's departure suddenly laughed bitterly, and slowly said a word in a tone that only he could hear:
"Oh, I really don't want to be friends with you."
Although Xu Lang has not known Yan Yan for a long time, he knows Yan Yan very well. Yan Yan never tells a lie, at least he has never told Xu Lang. Yan Yan has always been very sincere, because he also understands to deceive Xu. Lang will only increase the guard between the two, let alone deceive him.
It's really better to be honest with Xu Lang. They are the same kind of people, with the same wisdom and similar personalities, confidants, and sympathy for each other. But this is hell, even if you are dressed in the cloak of a "newspaper", it is still full of despair, and to live is to step on the bodies of teammates.
Xu Lang didn’t want to be friends with Yan Yan at all, and he admired the stance of a similar ally between them, so that if one day he and Yan Yan can only survive one day, Xu Lang can leave him without burden. , Or kill him!
Xu Lang shook his head. It is still too early to think about this. Let's first consider the team formation in front of us. In fact, there are currently 13 people in the newspaper, and some of them are very capable, such as Wu Cheng and Hu Zhen. , Cheng Guoguo, and Mo Ye, the rest of them didn't know much about them.
It seems that these things have to be done by He Xiao. One is that he knows every employee well, and the other is that Xu Lang's current influence is not enough. Most employees will definitely go to He Xiao instead of him.
Xu Lang won't bother himself about this. In fact, the team is just a tool, unable to be cannon fodder, and capable of supporting each other. I believe everyone thinks like this.
It was almost noon, and there was basically nothing to eat during the mission yesterday. Now Xu Lang is hungry. When he was about to go down to the kitchen to see what to do, the door suddenly knocked.
Xu Lang sighed helplessly, and opened the door to find Zhang Qingyu, wearing a white dress, standing slim in the doorway.
To be honest, to tell who Xu Lang is most afraid of seeing now, it is undoubtedly Zhang Qingyu. The relationship between the two of them had been entangled in the mission before, and because of the seeds, Xu Lang also had a strange feeling for this girl.
But since the end of the mission, he was still not interested in this girl when he recovered his calmness. He was only impressed. Recalling every bit of the mission, and finally making a solemn proposal to marry him, he already knew Zhang Qingyu’s thoughts. This made Xu Lang even more embarrassed, not knowing how to face her, after all, she helped herself to complete the task in the end.
Xu Lang looked at Zhang Qingyu who was smiling, and said nonchalantly, "Is there anything wrong with Miss Zhang?"
Zhang Qingyu didn't feel Xu Lang's strangeness, "I made lunch, would you like to come to my room to taste it?"
"Sorry, Miss Zhang, this is inconvenient."
Zhang Qingyu was a little surprised. She remembered what Xu Lang said to herself during the mission. Although she exaggerated a bit emotionally, she wouldn't treat her like someone else as she does now. She smiled and said, "Actually, the main thing is It was your help to me in the last mission. I am very grateful, so I just want to treat you to a meal."
Seeing the pitiful Zhang Qingyu, Xu Lang tried to refuse several times, but in the end he still didn't say anything, and sighed in his heart: "Well, I will go there when I put on a coat."
Hearing Xu Lang never refused, Zhang Qingyu smiled happily, gave a strong "um", and chose to stand at the door and wait.
Xu Lang shook his head and didn't change his clothes. He just took the cigarette case and went out.
Zhang Qingyu’s room is not big but very clean. It is different from the fancy styles that some girls who love beauty like to dress up. They wear white wallpaper. There are a few pots of gardenias on the balcony. The door of the piano practice room is open. She often After sitting for a day, her room smelled of lavender, the windows were bright and clean, and there was a little breeze, which made people feel very comfortable and at ease, just like Zhang Qingyu's temperament.
Xu Lang took a few deep breaths into the sun, feeling extremely relieved and fatigued. Zhang Qingyu welcomed Xu Lang into the restaurant with a smile. There were no extra dishes, one meat and two vegetables, and a small pot of soup. It was very homely but Looks very appetizing.
Xu Lang took the lead to sit down, and Zhang Qingyu didn’t use Zhang Qingyu to signal. He just picked up the bowl and ate. This is also Xu Lang’s habit. Going to other people’s houses may be more restrictive, but picking up the bowl is like being in his own home. Caring about other people's eyes, that's how I ate with He Xiao before.
Xu Lang's devouring food didn't make Zhang Qingyu feel embarrassed. Instead, he thought that his dishes were still in line with his taste, and there was not too much politeness. This natural feeling made her appetite.
The two of them did not speak tacitly, until the soup had been drunk to the bottom, Xu Lang finally raised his head and looked at Zhang Qingyu.
In fact, Zhang Qingyu had already finished eating. Just watching Xu Lang eating with relish, she felt in her heart that this man with a little weird appearance and a little withdrawn personality also felt at home, just like ordinary people. Time really hopes that it will never pass.
Xu Lang picked up a paper towel and wiped his mouth. After eating, he smiled embarrassedly at Zhang Qingyu, "I am like this. I don't recognize it after eating, hahaha."
It can be seen that Xu Lang is in a good mood. This is also the first time Zhang Qingyu heard him joking, and then laughed happily. The ponytail flicked in the back of his head, which was very good-looking.
The atmosphere is harmonious and comfortable, with the unique warm breeze of summer, as if they are a pair of young lovers who live through life at this moment, without evil spirits, precautions, and even deceit.
But after all people want to return to reality, Xu Lang drank his saliva and said: "In fact, you don't have to thank me for the last mission. I wouldn't be able to live without your existence."
Zhang Qingyu didn’t feel that Xu Lang was helping herself with these remarks. On the contrary, she thought that Xu Lang was comforting herself, “No, there is nothing outstanding about me. It's incomparable. I still have this self-knowledge. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to support it.
Xu Lang waved his hand and said, "You should know me a little bit. I'm not used to this kind of topic."
Zhang Qingyu smiled, nodded and said: "Okay, then I want to say that I can join your team?"
Xu Lang frowned. His attitude towards Zhang Qingyu was a bit embarrassing. He could not completely ignore her, but didn't want her to drag him too much. After joining the team, she would definitely become cannon fodder. At any rate, he felt sad together. I thought for a long time but never expressed his opinion.
Zhang Qingyu felt that he might think that he was a useless person, and nervously said: "Look, I'm currently learning medical knowledge about emergency treatment, at least I can become a medical staff in your team. As far as I know, the newspaper There is no professional doctor in there. I will definitely not hold you back. Don't worry about that."
Xu Lang looked at the serious Zhang Qingyu, sighed in his heart, and said slowly: "I might as well tell you directly. In fact, I knew your particularity from the beginning of the last mission. I took you as a trump card. That’s why I have always protected you. But you don’t have your speciality in every task, do you understand?"
Hearing this, Zhang Qingyu's expression was stunned, and she couldn't believe it. Her expression was a little bad, and she bowed her head for a while and said, "You said to me so seriously that you would protect me... also because Is this the reason?"
Xu Lang nodded calmly, Zhang Qingyu's eyes were red, and he stared at Xu Lang, but the tears did not flow down. After a while, he suddenly rubbed his eyes and barely smiled and said, "It's okay, I said. After I join your team, I am not seeking your asylum. I really want to do something for the employees. Although I have no ability, I never tell lies. I really mean that."
Xu Lang was very entangled in his heart. He didn't want Zhang Qingyu to die, but reason told him that unless she was to protect herself, she would definitely not survive two missions, but looked at Zhang Qingyu's serious and firm face. I told myself in my heart that yes, there was a lack of a medical staff in the team, she was just an ordinary teammate.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang said: "Well, now you are a member of the team. But you must hurry up and learn before the next task arrives so that I can see your value."
Zhang Qingyu smiled sincerely, she didn't lie. If she wants to live, she must depend on Xu Lang, but she knows who she is and who Xu Lang is. Only when she can play a role can she stand by Xu Lang with peace of mind. She has never been a vase. .
Xu Lang did not stay, and after saying these words, he left Zhang Qingyu's room. "A cigarette after a meal beats a living god", this is Xu Lang's unsuspecting old saying. Before Zhang Qingyu's house had been holding back without smoking, at this time he was lying in the air, smoking tobacco. Nicotine in.
After a while, He Xiao called and said that four or five employees were willing to join their team.
He Xiao gave a brief introduction. Among them, it is worth noting that Cheng Guoguo, a little fat man, also has an extraordinary mind. He has performed well in three ordinary tasks before. There is also the Lin family sister and brother, the sister Lin Qing is nothing special, mainly The younger brother of Lin Hong, who has a super memory, is almost unforgettable, which is simply too critical for carrying out the task.
There is one more ordinary employee left. Xu Lang remembers this 13-year-old boy. When he entered the newspaper, he appeared to be more calm than his sister, and memory is very important to the task. There are many easy-to-ignore details that may eventually become the key to cracking the path. It seems This time the newspaper staff split still brought some talents.
From this point of view, Yan Yan’s team can already be calculated. Except for Wu Cheng’s group of three, only the young and old Mo Ye joined them. It seems that the strict behavior style still keeps many employees away. So it seems that Mo Ye dared to go to Yan Yan, he should not be an ordinary person.
Just as Xu Lang was thinking about this, the knock on the door rang again, but when he opened the door, it was someone he had never thought of. (End of this chapter)
