Lan Yao took the necklace and put it in front of his eyes, his cold eyes that were as inorganic as glass did not fluctuate in any way.
He casually threw the necklace on the table, and the pendant hit the cold marble slab, revealing the photo inside.
The girl's beautiful face, which was as cold as snow mountains and ice clouds, was revealed, but Lan Yao couldn't attract another look. His eyes were always fixed on Yuechu's body without any deflection.
"For Jiang Quan, is it worth it?"
Lan Yao already knew everything, he didn't know what method Yuechu used to bring down the guard, maybe it was the boring hypnotism, but it didn't matter. When he saw Yuechu's glance at the monitor in the video, he knew what was on his mind.
He was testing him, like a kitten, cutely sticking out his furry paws.
Yue Chu lowered his eyes slightly, and his slender eyelashes trembled slightly, which seemed to reveal the instability in his heart.
This person who has been locked in the ivory tower for too long doesn't know how to cover up his emotions. In Lan Yao's eyes, he is like a blank sheet of paper, which can be seen clearly.
"That's not where he... should be."
"But if he does something wrong, he has to take the responsibility. Incidents of experimental subject riots occur again and again. If I continue to let this go on, the laboratory will be unstable."
Yue Chu felt a sudden pause in his heart, but his face remained motionless, his brows were still tightly frowned, as if he couldn't accept Lan Yao's explanation.
Lan Yao... didn't even know that he had peeked at the experiment records.
It was Lan Yi who helped him hide it!
If this is the case, then he can't say what he originally wanted to say.
He clenched his fingers, his brows and eyes were full of anger, and he asked impulsively: "But you know it's not his fault!"
Lan Yao was indifferent, his handsome face as cold as a stone sculpture was brutally shocking.
"Whether it's his fault or not is not important, the important thing is that he needs to bear this responsibility, and only if he bears it will there be no more incidents."
Yuechu couldn't agree with what he said, she put her hands on the table and lowered her body to look at Lan Yao.
"It's meaningless for you to do this. As long as you don't find the key to why the experimental subject ran away violently, this kind of situation will continue to happen. What's the use of locking Jiang Quan in the confinement room?!"
Lan Yao stared at him deeply, even though he was sitting there, he seemed to be looking down on Yuechu, the pressure on his body was like layers of tides, trying to drown him.
"But maybe, after he is imprisoned, there will be no more escapes of experimental subjects."
Yuechu was stunned, this kind of statement was too fluke, originally it would make people laugh. However, when these words came out of Lan Yao's mouth, he had to carefully savor the meaning contained in them.
Lan Yao seemed very sure that if Jiang Quan was locked up, the experimental subject would not escape, why... why
He thought about it carefully for a moment, but said: "This is just a hypothesis. We cannot convict Dr. Jiang just because of a hypothesis."
Yuechu raised his head, his eyes were as deep as the blue sea, it seemed calm but there was a dark tide brewing: "No matter what, I want a promise from you - to protect the safety of Jiangquan."
Lan Yao nodded his fingers, "He is safe."
Yuechu didn't think so, but when he looked at Lan Yao's powerful and unquestionable posture, he could only temporarily suppress the worries in his heart.
As long as Lan Yao is willing to promise him, maybe Jiang Quan will be safe.
And soon, he will make everyone take their attention away from Jiang Quan.
Yuechu sighed lightly, wanting to relax, but couldn't help worrying: "Then I can only trust Director Lan."
Lan Yao quietly watched him leave, until the door was closed tightly again, he stretched out his hand to caress the tender petals, and there was a trace of softness in his deep eyes.
There is probably nothing in this world that people want to take care of more than blooming flowers. They are so delicate and fragile but still bloom towards the sun, decorating the whole world with their own beauty.
He doesn't like flowers, but if the flowers belong to him and need his protection, then it will be different.
If it is his flower's request, then the restrictions can also be relaxed and the standards lowered.
Who makes his flowers always so gentle...
Lan Yao slowly closed his eyes, tapped the lavender petals with his finger, savoring the touch carefully.
…
Yuechu returned to the laboratory, looking at Muyou's busy figure through the transparent glass.
When the immature little bun face was serious, it was still very courageous. Under his command, the old people were busy in an orderly manner, and it seemed that the whole studio was thriving.
Not only that, but Muyou's ability is actually very strong, and it can even be said to be no worse than Jiang Quan. It's just that this kid has been suppressed for too long, and too many denials have made him shrink back. Under that arrogant face, there is actually a soul of inferiority.
Therefore, he is always unwilling to put his intelligence on the right path, but if he feels that no matter how hard he works, he can't compare to Jiang Quan, so he should not work hard at all.
Because without hope there is no disappointment.
But when he really has his own stage, he will also emit infinite brilliance, like the gold left after the big waves washed the sand, shining in the sun.
With him in the lab, there is no need to worry about anything in the future.
Yue Chu raised the corners of his mouth, smiled and walked towards Mu You who pushed the door out, and handed him the freshly brewed rose tea.
The faint rose fragrance transpires through the hazy heat, inhaling the refreshing fragrance in the lungs, so that the tense nerves are relaxed.
"I made you a cup of rose tea, thinking that you are tired from work, and it's getting late now. Drinking it can help you relax and take a good rest later."
Mu You held the cup almost reverently, the light amber color reflected his face, the joyful smile almost popped out through his eyes.
He put it directly to his mouth and took a sip, the scorching heat immediately burned his lips red.
Yuechu helplessly covered the mouth of the cup, is it stupid, the freshly brewed tea is extremely hot, how can I drink it directly.
Mu You showed a smirk, which looked out of place with that shrewd sesame bun face.
He held his cup tightly, not wanting to let go for a moment, for fear of being snatched away by others, like a little hamster protecting food.
Yuechu patted his head, and said softly, "You've done a good job during this time, without your help, I'm afraid I'd have a headache every day and couldn't sleep."
Muyou looked at him obediently, as cute and quiet as a little white rabbit, with a pair of black and white clear eyes staring at Yuechu all the time, unwilling to move away.
He didn't feel that he had done anything, but Yuechu's praise made him extremely happy. Anyway, what he said was right, as long as he listened quietly.
Yuechu couldn't help pinching his face, and continued with a smile: "You are very good, not worse than Jiang Quan. From now on, the laboratory will ask you to take care of him, and let me have a few more days of leisure."
Muyou blinked and nodded seriously. At the beginning, he still had some objections to Yuechu's ignorance of world affairs, but now...now he can't wait to take care of everything so that he can lie there comfortably drinking tea and playing with his mobile phone.
Yuechu was relieved, although he was a little sorry for cheating Muyou, but he believed that although Muyou looked innocent, he was actually very responsible.
"Go back to rest earlier in the evening, I will stay here for a while longer."
Mu You wanted to refuse, but when he touched those gentle eyes, he couldn't say anything, as if he was stuck in a soft and boundless swamp, he could only keep sinking and sinking until he was completely submerged.
Holding the teacup in a dazed state, Yuechu pushed him out of the laboratory.
Back in the room, he happily put the finished teacup on the table, while he lay down on the table and rubbed the smooth rim of the cup with his fingers smilingly, the corners of his mouth almost overflowing with infatuation.
Yuechu... His Yuechu...
On the other side, the door of confinement room No. 7 opened, Jiang Quan raised his head and saw Lan Yao and Lan Yi walking in.
He slightly pursed his light-colored lips, and there was no smile on his pale face, and his cold eyes were like the surface of autumn water, with a cold mist floating.
Lan Yao sat on the sofa opposite Jiang Quan, casually picked up the books on the table, glanced at them, and threw them away in boredom.
He looked at Jiang Quan carefully, and his indifferent voice seemed to contain the frost of winter, which made people shiver involuntarily.
"You are so smart that you actually know to ask Yuechu for help."
Jiang Quan pushed his glasses, but did not deny Lan Yao's statement. At this time, he didn't have the friendship for Lan Yao that Yuechu had seen in the past, only indifferent, like the sky in autumn, lonely and desolate.
"Otherwise, wait for you to deal with me?"
Lan Yao squinted his eyes, and the brown eyes showed a hostility, which slowly spread to the center of the pupil.
A defective product dares to speak nonsense, it really is different with a backing.
He warned coldly: "Do what you should do honestly, don't think about it, otherwise... I will make you disappear completely before Yuechu even realizes it."
Jiang Quan clenched his fingers tightly, his light-colored lips were pursed into a straight line, and there was red humility in his eyes.
But thinking of how Yuechu was doing his best for him, that bit of unwillingness turned into Fu Zhe, buried quietly and deeply in his chest.
He took a deep breath and said hoarsely, "I agree."
Seeing that he was peaceful, Lan Yao didn't bother to say anything more. If it wasn't for Yuechu, he didn't even want to look at him more.
At this time, Yuechu walked slowly into the storage room in the empty laboratory, opened the isolation box lightly, grabbed the ball with his hand, and put it in his pocket.
He smiled leisurely, restored everything to the original state, and left the laboratory as if nothing had happened.
Following the route planned from the beginning, he nimbly avoided all the patrols, opened the gate of the research institute with his highest-level identity card, found a car and jumped into it.
Just when the driver wanted to ask, he met his deep black pupils, and sat back obediently in an instant, started the car, released the handbrake, put the gear in gear, and left the research institute with Yuechu.
Yuechu put his arms on the window sill, feeling the cool breeze outside with a smile on his face, and could even smell the faint smell of green grass in the wind, which made him feel freshness for a long time.
He touched the little ball lightly with his finger, and seeing that there was no movement, he knew that the little ball hadn't woken up yet.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and only hoped that Xiaoqiu wouldn't be too surprised when he woke up, otherwise the nagging would really be a headache.
in the room
Mu You, who was holding the cup and dreaming sweetly, suddenly raised his head, the innocence and purity in the black pupils disappeared, replaced by a cold crimson light.
With a loud bang, the table under his palm shattered into pieces, while the porcelain cup that was originally placed on it fell on the other palm intact.
His fair and youthful face was full of terror, he bit the root of his back teeth firmly, and squeezed out two words: "Yue! Chu!"
Confinement Room No. 7
The moment Yuechu left the research institute, the three people who were talking indifferently raised their heads together and looked in the same direction.
The scene was extremely weird. Everyone's pupils had a cold red light, and their mouths opened and closed at the same time, uttering overlapping words: "Have you run away? You are really spoiled."
After speaking, he laughed again, and the low laughter echoed in the quiet room: "It's okay, I will catch you soon."
