And the reason why Gu Ran got engaged to Xue Xiling was actually to get married and save Xue Xiling
In the eyes of the powerful men, Gu Ran's agreement to Xue Yingsong and Xue Xiling's marriage was indeed meant to bring good luck.
But even though it was a "happy occasion", Gu Ran didn't lose out either.
Faced with Xue Yingsong's generous gift, it was impossible for Gu Ran to refuse.
Sure enough, the next moment on the light screen, Gu Ran agreed to Xue Yingsong.
... ...
"If you think it's necessary, then I'll agree first, but we still need a more scientific method to solve the problem. We can't just hang our heads on this tree."
Gu Ran just pondered for a moment, then agreed with a wry smile.
It's not like he's really in a relationship now, and hadn't he decided in his heart not to go to the sea anymore
He could feel Xue Xiling's love for him. If he could really save her, it would just be a matter of getting married. What was there wrong with agreeing to it
In fact, he doesn't care about status or reputation.
All he cared about was whether doing so could really achieve the goal of saving Xue Xiling.
"That's great! If Xiao Ling knew, she would definitely be very happy."
Xue Yingsong finally gave up kneeling down to Gu Ran, stood up and wiped her tears.
... ...
Xue Xiling looked at this scene with a complicated expression.
If she were to be so arrogant now, she would never accept this kind of charity-like feeling.
But she was so naive at that time that she didn't even realize that Gu Ran's heart was not with her.
But one thing that confused her was that she could remember her engagement ceremony with Gu Ran.
This means that she was awake at the time, and she actually had no memory of the "coma" experience.
Time stands still...
Could it be that her memory also stopped at that time
It has to be said that this scene was indeed a secret of Gu Ran that she had never experienced before, but she really wanted to know.
... ...
"Okay, then how do we rescue Xiling?" Gu Ran sighed slightly in his heart and then said.
He wanted to hear if Xue Yingsong really had some magical trick that he didn't know about.
"If it is because of your involvement that Xiao Ling is in a better condition than her mother, then if you want to change Xiao Ling's condition for the better, you can try to get more involved in her destiny..."
Xue Yingsong hesitated for a moment and said, "You can start by accompanying Xiao Ling. You can talk to her from time to time to see if you can stimulate her. I will prepare for your engagement ceremony in ten days. This way, your relationship will be further developed and your destinies will be more intertwined.
"This is the best solution I can think of. If this can't affect Xiao Ling's fate, then... maybe this is Xiao Ling's fate."
Finally, Xue Yingsong sighed helplessly.
In the next few days, Gu Ran rarely stayed in his own laboratory and spent most of his time with Xue Xiling.
At first, Gu Ran didn't know what to say to Xue Xiling.
Later, thinking that Xue Xiling liked research just like him, he told Xue Xiling about his research.
"Chang Mu and his friends are making rapid progress. Now we just need to train them and then let them serve as teachers. With the old bringing up the new, we should be able to train a group of such warriors soon. Low-profile telepaths can be mass-produced through special training methods."
"Relatively speaking, the cost of mechas is higher, but compared to training a mutant and a warrior with similar combat power, the cost of mechas is much lower. So overall, when facing the tide of ferocious beasts in the future, more mecha warriors will be on the field."
"Humanity's power will be greatly enhanced, and the threat of the beast tide will be smaller. In this way, there will be fewer casualties in the slums, and human civilization should move forward. I know you usually help some people in the slums, but your power is limited after all."
"If we want to change their situation, we have to solve it from the productivity point of view. Humans have higher technology and more powerful weapons... ... I wish you were still awake, because I really want to give you this important task. I know you will be very happy if you can help those people in the slums."
After talking for a while and pausing, Gu Ran started chattering on and on again as if he was a neurotic, this time about family matters.
"Your father originally wanted to accompany you, but Canglong City and Lanxin University couldn't do without him, so he gave the task of accompanying you to me."
"To be honest... He said that he could rely on me, the destined person, to influence your original fate of dying young. I don't really believe it, because if fate can really be influenced, I believe it is because people take the initiative to change their behavior..."
None of the strong men present had ever seen such a tender and affectionate side of Gu Ran.
Especially Xue Xiling, her mood was very complicated at this time.
Gu Ran's gentle, homely tone was exactly what she had always dreamed of.
The two chatted with each other about what they encountered in their research, their expectations for research, and then talked about family matters...
But now there is no going back.
... ...
"Canglong City... seems to have mixed in with something strange."
Gu Ran, who was talking to Xue Xiling, suddenly frowned.
His mental power is usually expanded to the maximum, covering Canglong City and sensing at all times.
This level of perception cannot be very precise, but it can sense the unusual movements in Canglong City.
In his perception, a couple had an argument over daily trivialities, and then their emotions became increasingly intense, eventually culminating in a fight.
Both of them are ordinary people.
But both of them used the "weapons" at their side to kill each other.
I wish the other person would die.
Their only son, who looked about seven or eight years old, huddled in a corner out of fear.
"I told you I don't eat spicy food, why did you buy chili peppers? Don't you love me at all? I know you like that vixen across the street!"
The wife took a pair of scissors and stabbed her husband's face to pieces.
The husband took a kitchen knife and did not hesitate to chop off one of his wife's arms.
"Without chili, what's there to eat? No one should eat!"
"Let me see what's wrong with Wang's second sister-in-law. Don't you often look at those good-looking young men in the martial arts hall next door?"
If you just listen to the content of the quarrel, it seems to be a very normal thing.
But if you could see the two people fighting, you would realize that their quarrel has gone beyond the level of an ordinary quarrel.
237. Canglong City changes! Witness history, the era of mecha? 4k
It didn't look like a quarrel among family members at all, but rather a bloody fight between enemies.
The husband's face was bruised and one of his eyeballs had fallen out, but he didn't care at all. He took a kitchen knife and cut open his wife's chest and took out her internal organs.
"Haha, let me see you, woman, what qualifications do you have to say that I am unfaithful? Aren't you unfaithful yourself?"
The husband examined the liver in his hand. Only the bloody eye socket was left of one of his eyes.
The little boy at the side seemed to have finally grown tired of his parents' quarrel and suddenly stood up and shouted loudly:
"Can you guys stop arguing? If you're going to argue, why don't you just die together?"
The husband and wife stopped at the same time and turned to look at the little boy.
"What if he's seen? It'll teach him bad habits."
"Yes, this will have a huge impact on the child."
The husband and wife reached a consensus at this moment, and both of their tones became friendly.
"But how?"
“How can we make amends?”
The two people's brains seemed to be confused.
"Yes, I have a good idea. All I have to do is let the child fall asleep."
"Yes, as long as the child falls asleep, we can do what we adults do again."
Both of them smiled at the same time, their smiles were warm yet creepy.
"Come on, be good, son, and go to sleep well."
The husband walked towards the little boy, threw away the kitchen knife, and picked up an iron rod nearby.
"Oh, don't." The wife pulled her husband's sleeve, "Don't use this one, use this one, our son is too naughty, we have to use a bigger stick."
The husband looked over in confusion, and his wife handed him a thicker iron rod, as thick as his arm.
The husband nodded and took the iron rod.
"Our son is really naughty. This stick is just right. He should be able to have a good sleep now."
The husband kept smiling, walked up to the little boy and raised the iron rod high.
"Be good, son, go to sleep and don't be naughty."
The little boy did not show any panic from beginning to end. He looked at his father with calm and dark eyes.
"Why are you always arguing? Why can't you be quiet? It would be great if you could be quiet forever."
