Chapter 49 The Innocent Fool

Lu Xing knew Gu Xi well.

He firmly believed that Gu Xi was essentially the same type of person as himself.

Paranoid, selfish, cold-blooded, but once he marks someone as his own, he will never let go.

He knew that if Gu Xi really chose to sacrifice himself to save Lin Xiaodong, the little mermaid would definitely feel very painful and blame himself.

But Lu Xing found that he had begun to look forward to that day.

Perhaps it was because he also knew that, as long as Gu Xi was still alive, then Lin Xiaodong would never have another person in his heart.

"What did you say?"

Lin Xiaodong thought that he had heard it wrong, so he couldn't help but pricked up his ears and asked again, "Gu Xi asked me not to sing again?"

"Yeah, I don't know what the Marshal thought," Xu Feng sat in front of him and sighed, "Lulu is going crazy, and it took a long time for the crime rate to drop below 7%. , It has surged by several percentage points in the past two days. There are still many people on the star network who say that if the live broadcast is no longer live, they will come to the sit-in petition under the parliament building. How long has it been stable?"

He complained for a while, and suddenly found that Lin Xiaodong had yawned four or five in a row in less than ten minutes. He couldn't help asking, "Are you sleepy? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Well, that's right." Lin Xiaodong dealt with it vaguely.

But in fact, he had been sleeping in bed until the first 20 minutes when Xu Feng came home, and he had slept for more than fifteen hours since last night.

Seeing his sleepy eyes, Xu Feng couldn't complain anymore. He scratched his head and said distressedly: "Anyway, Xiaodong, please help me find out what the Marshal said. I really don't know what he thinks."

Lin Xiaodong agreed, and after sending Xu Feng away, he swayed and wanted to soak his tail, but before he walked a few steps, he felt a surge of sleepiness, and the large soft sofa in the living room looked like a It exudes infinite charm... He couldn't help but turn his direction, and was about to fall into the soft pillow and fall asleep again when it was dark, when there was another movement at the door.

"Come again," the little mermaid muttered dissatisfiedly, "Xu Feng, did you forget something-"

The door opened.

He stopped abruptly halfway through his words.

Gu Xi looked down at the surprised Lin Xiaodong, and asked calmly, "Why, I'm surprised to see that?"

"That's not true," the little mermaid obediently stepped aside, "Why did you come back so early today?"

"The department is fine."

lie.

Lin Xiaodong thought that Xu Feng couldn't take it anymore and ran to the door to complain. I heard that the dispatches received by the military are almost piled high, how could it be possible to leave work early.

But he didn't break it, because he was really sleepy. He said "I'm going upstairs" to Gu Xi and was about to go to sleep for a while, but the man stepped forward to stop him: "Wait a minute, first Eat this."

"Huh?" Lin Xiaodong barely lifted his eyelids and glanced at the round thing, "What is this, candy?"

"...Almost." Gu Xi said.

He didn't think about it too much, he took it and swallowed it directly.

"Wow, it's so bitter!" Lin Xiaodong retched, almost spitting out all the food he ate last night.

"Really, then maybe I made a mistake." Gu Xi said lightly, handing over a real lollipop in time, "Just eat something sweet."

Lin Xiaodong stared at him suspiciously and asked the system, "What exactly did he give me just now?"

System: "Sugar pills wrapped in brain worms."

Lin Xiaodong: ! ! ! !

His scalp was numb for a while: "Why? Gu Xi is crazy???"

But looking at the man's expression, he didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with what he did, seeing Lin Xiaodong's face was very bad, he frowned, and asked with concern: "Do you feel any discomfort in your body? "

I'm not comfortable anywhere!

Lin Xiaodong felt nauseated when he thought of swallowing a worm, although according to the current technology, it would cost at least millions of dollars to extract a brain worm. All the precious Chinese herbal medicines are tens or even hundreds of times more expensive... but they are still disgusting.

"Go to sleep," Gu Xi stroked his hair, because he had been sleeping too long recently, so Lin Xiaodong simply cut his hair short for convenience, "I suddenly remembered that there is another copy from the military department. If the documents are not processed, I will go back first."

Looking at Gu Xi's back, the little mermaid suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

"What's wrong?"

"Your tie is crooked." Lin Xiaodong pointed his finger at the position of his neck. The man looked down and didn't take it too seriously. Seeing this, the little mermaid simply walked up to him and helped him take care of it.

"Okay," he said.

But Gu Xi felt something was wrong. He frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you so skilled?"

Lin Xiaodong was stunned for a few seconds, and then realized that it was because of the habit of helping Gu Xi tie a tie every day before going out in the previous world, and forgot to pretend for a while. But fortunately, Gu Xi didn't go too deep into it, but gently brushed away the broken hair that fell on his forehead, and dropped a soft kiss on the little mermaid's bright white forehead.

"Take care of yourself," he said. "I'm leaving."

After the door was closed again, Lin Xiaodong couldn't sleep for some reason.

Not only is he more energetic, but if he is given two legs, it will not be a problem to rush downstairs and run for a thousand meters.

After thinking for a while, Lin Xiaodong dragged out the aircraft that Gu Xi had put in the garage, pulled out a cloak from the house and put it on him, and let his brain control the aircraft to go out by himself.

This was the first time he had gone out without any purpose since he crossed into this world.

The streets are in depression, many shops are closed, and many walls still have traces of graffiti and fires, which look very miserable. After walking two streets, Lin Xiaodong saw no less than ten curses against Lu Xing and the royal family.

But on the other hand, more people are busy on both sides of the street, rebuilding the damaged facade, decorating the broken glass, installing the holographic projection above the street... Although it is no longer prosperous, the hope in people's heart is not It has not been wiped out. Even if there are a few people who are excited and shouting, they will soon be persuaded by the surrounding residents to be appeased, or they will be taken away by the pickets to prevent disturbing the peace and order.

Since the crisis of the brain worm has not yet been resolved, the mermaid singing is playing everywhere in the streets and alleys, and many people directly wear headphones while listening while working. , I don't know, I thought it was a quarrel.

Lin Xiaodong also saw a few merchants hang their photos directly on the door, bells and whistles like welcoming the God of Wealth, which made him a little embarrassed.

"But in this way, I'm quite photogenic." He said happily.

System: "A normal person's first reaction shouldn't be narcissism, right?"

Lin Xiaodong said as a matter of course: "Then I'm not a normal person either."

system:"............"

It didn't know whether it was better to call Lin Xiaodong self-aware, or whether it was better to be shocked by the other party's shameless face.

Suddenly, Lin Xiaodong heard a shout in the distance, so he turned his head and looked over.

It is human nature to join in the fun, but when he saw with his own eyes the mermaid stone sculpture with a height of more than three meters and a model of himself erected in the middle of the square in Central Park, Lin Xiaodong sincerely felt the feeling of a social death. --

Help!

The little mermaid curled up her tail in shame, her cheeks uncontrollably glowed a faint crimson, her eyes fluttered, but she couldn't help but glance at the shape of the sculpture. Glancing at...

System: "It's almost there, just watch it if you want, no one will recognize you anyway."

Lin Xiaodong, who desperately lowered his cloak, said, "Are you sure?"

If this were recognized on the spot, it would be a complete social death!

But sometimes, the less he wants, the more he does. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a suspicious voice from the left rear: "You are... Lin Xiaodong?"

Lin Xiaodong took a breath.

His entire face quickly became bloodshot within a few seconds, and without looking back, he quickly said, "No, you've got the wrong person!" He drove the aircraft non-stop to leave.

"Wait, don't go!"

The man chased after him reluctantly and grabbed the end of the aircraft.

Lin Xiaodong had no choice but to pull up the collar of the cloak to cover most of his face, turned his head reluctantly, and said with a smirk, "This gentleman, are you really admitting it's wrong... it's you?"

The other party glanced at his face hidden under the cloak, and said with a certain tone: "It really is you, it seems that I am not mistaken. Why did Gu Xi let you go to the street alone?"

Lin Xiaodong stared at the thin man with rimless glasses in front of him. This guy was one of Lu Xing's researchers back then. Although he didn't know his name, he probably had a good position in the institute, because Lin Xiaodong had heard of it before. Others respectfully referred to him as "Dr."

Usually this person is wearing a white lab coat, with a straight face that looks very sinister and cunning. Even if he is awake to the road, he will always make small moves against the yin and yang, and every time he draws blood for Lin Xiaodong, he will sneak up on it. Dozens of milliliters more, if it wasn't for the system reminding him, he wouldn't have found it at all.

It seems that he didn't notice the vigilant eyes of the little mermaid, or he didn't pay attention to it at all. The man's gaze passed over Lin Xiaodong and turned to the stone statue not far away.

As if he was amused, he twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "You know, in fact, the Marshal's statue was originally to be built here, but Gu Xi directly rejected the proposal, and in the end, the mermaid statue was far ahead of the vote in the public election, and this is what it is today. the inauguration ceremony."

Lin Xiaodong was expressionless: Oh.

He wished he was the last one.

The doctor retracted his gaze, stared at Lin Xiaodong for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Are sugar pills delicious?"

Lin Xiaodong opened his mouth and frowned subconsciously, "Is that thing you...?"

"It was researched by me," he smiled slightly. "After the fall of the royal family, the institute was recruited by the military, and now I can be considered to be working for the marshal. But I'm very curious, you actually found something wrong?"

The little mermaid pursed her lips tightly and did not answer.

The doctor said clearly: "Sure enough, as I thought, you are not stupid at all. But you didn't doubt it at the time, did Gu Xi really want to kill you?"

Lin Xiaodong lowered his eyes and said, "I believe him."

But from the doctor's point of view, he really couldn't understand why Lin Xiaodong still believed in Gu Xi even though he knew the truth, he shook his head in disbelief and muttered to himself: "So I said, this is the defect of the mermaid gene, he just I still don't believe it..."

Lin Xiaodong frowned fiercely: "What did you say?"

The doctor paused: "...Nothing."

The little mermaid looked at him suspiciously. The way the man looked at him made him feel uncomfortable, as if he was not looking at a living creature, but at a research object, a piece of meat on a chopping board.

"When Lu Xing took you away, our experiment was only two-thirds complete," he said with a regretful expression, "Now the blood reserve has been used up, and Gu Xi is watching you very closely. , I was almost fired after only two application reports. To be honest, in terms of scientific research spirit, he is far worse than Lu Xing. "

Lin Xiaodong snorted.

Just you, still scientific research spirit?

Stop insulting research.

He didn't bother to talk to this man anymore, he simply patted the aircraft under his seat neatly and was ready to leave. But the doctor's next sentence put him in place: "If I tell you Gu Xi's next plan, can you give me another four hundred milliliters of mermaid blood?"

Lin Xiaodong turned back slowly.

"If I want to know, can I ask him in person?" The little mermaid's eyebrows and eyes curled, but the smile gave people a sense of "You idiot/shut up".

The doctor choked, and said angrily: "Don't believe it, no one else knows what Gu Xi is going to do except a few cronies around him, and no one will tell you except me. If you want, just wait for the news of his death at home one day!"

Hearing the man's threat, the little mermaid remained unmoved.

"If that day comes," he said seriously, bowing his head, turning the ring on his hand made of the two's hair, "then I will die with him."

The doctor stared at the distant back of the aircraft in disbelief, and his face twitched fiercely:

"It's really stupid..."

But Lin Xiaodong is not really a fool. During this time, he could see what was wrong with Gu Xi himself, and it was fine, why did Gu Xi put so much effort into making candy pills and let him eat it ?

"The most important thing is," he added, "Tong, I find that I'm not sleepy now."

The system affirmed this: "There is an external spiritual force continuously replenishing your body, and it is estimated that this sugar pill is working."

However, all of them are well aware of where the source of this spiritual power is and how it will affect the provider's body.

"It's time to leave." Lin Xiaodong said with determination.

But he couldn't help but ask again: "Since you can contact the headquarters now, then help me to ask, in the next world, can I still meet Gu Xi?"

The system was silent for a moment.

As a system, it can clearly perceive the host's inner thoughts, so even if Lin Xiaodong doesn't say anything, it knows that the other party still has a trace of expectation in his heart.

"It shouldn't be." But in the end, it still confessed the truth to Lin Xiaodong, "You can meet him in this world, it is very likely that there is a problem with the procedures in the headquarters, and now that everything is back on track, it will not It happens again."

"...That's it."

Lin Xiaodong muttered a little disappointedly.

Seeing that the little mermaid looked down, the system couldn't bear it.

It quickly rummaged through the database, and after consulting two hundred and sixty-four emotional papers and chicken soup for the soul, he cleared his throat and spoke in a eloquent voice: "Don't take it too seriously, the spring is gone. Autumn comes, flowers bloom and fall, some people are destined to be passers-by in your life, in the future, when the task is over, you will definitely find a better--"

But it doesn't seem to work.

The little mermaid was still very sad, he wept and sniffed, and his choked voice was full of anticipation: "But I have never seen a man who is hotter and more manly than Gu Xi in real life, Or do you say that your headquarters is the one to send the target? Or the kind with eight-pack abs?"

system:"............"

farewell.
