Chapter 178, Xiaoxi

Day [-].

"Ren Feng, it's time to eat."

In the serum laboratory, Ren Feng came here for inspection today, and it happened to be lunch time, so Xiao Xi cooked his meal.

However, Ren Feng refused.
"No, I'll go back and eat with your sister Chu, do you want to go back and eat together?"

"No, there is still work to be done here, so I can't leave." Xiaoxi curled her lips, feeling a little pity.

She also wanted to go back to have dinner with Ren Feng.

But recently, Ren Feng has always been concerned about Chu Meng, and more and more heavy responsibilities for serum, she has no way to go back, and eats lunch and dinner in the laboratory.

"Then you have to eat on time, don't tire yourself out."

After exhorting, Ren Feng couldn't wait to go back.

Watching his leaving back, Xiaoxi looked at the food on the table again, feeling a little lost inexplicably.

Zhou Shan on the side suddenly said: "Commander Ren and Captain Chu are really in love. If they were placed in the old world, they would definitely be married by now."

"Captain Zhou also survived the old world." Xiao Xi said.

After she finished speaking, she realized that she had asked a very stupid question.

But Zhou Shan didn't care, he smiled and said, "Of course. If you really want to count it, it's only been four years since the end of the day. In four years, we haven't had the first generation of newborns who have reproduced the end of the day."

"Oh." Xiao Xi just responded. She didn't know what she thought of, and her eyes were lowered.

……

The day's work is finally finished. Although the laboratory can only produce a hundred tubes of serum a day, Xiaoxi and the others still have to come here to watch and monitor the whole process.

Otherwise, extreme errors may occur, and they will not be able to detect them in time.

"It's another day~" Zhou Shan stretched his waist.

He had dark circles under his eyes, but that's fine now.

As the core person who configures the serum, he is the most tiring at the beginning. From preparing the serum to building the production line, he has to do everything by himself.

Now that the production line has been set up, he is a little more relaxed.

"Xiaoxi, you can go back." He turned his head and said to Xiaoxi who was beside him.

Zhou Shan's home is here, so even after get off work he still stays in the laboratory.

But other people's homes are not here.

"Okay, then I'll go back, Captain Zhou good night."

After packing up her things, Xiaoxi smiled sweetly and said goodbye to Zhou Shan and the rest of the lab.

"Goodbye, Xiaoxi!"

"Xiaoxi, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow~"

After saying goodbye one by one, Xiao Xi took the completely opposite route to them.

She lives in the high-level area of ​​​​the command level, while the others live in the ordinary residential areas.

Along the way, she was alone.

The street lights at night are very dim, and only the nearest road can be seen clearly.

The dim light stretched her shadow very long, but no matter how long it was, there was only her own shadow from beginning to end.

Walking silently on the road, he raised his head and walked towards the "home" not far ahead.

Obviously this distance is not very long, but today Xiaoxi felt that it was very, very long. She walked very slowly.

Somehow, she felt a little alone.

When did it start, no one walked with her anymore.

It seemed that from the very beginning, she was walking this road alone, but why did she feel this way today?
"Maybe winter is coming soon, and the weather is getting a bit cold." She rubbed her arms and walked quickly, trying to shake off the darkness following her.

Return to the advanced area.

The so-called high-end area actually only has five houses.

She, Ren Feng, Chu Meng, and Jiang Jiu all share a room, and there is also a conference room.

Xiaoxi's house was newly built later, and it is just across a street from Ren Feng and Chu Meng's room.

Back at the intersection, Xiaoxi saw that only one of the five houses was lit—Chu Meng's room.

Ren Feng and Jiang Jiu are all in Chu Meng's room now.

Standing at the door and hesitating for a while, Xiaoxi finally returned to her own home.

Turning on the light, a gust of empty cold air blows towards my face.

It was so cold at this time of day that there was no one in the house, which made people shiver involuntarily.

Looking at the empty "home", Xiaoxi suddenly remembered the time when she was in Huoyue.

At that time, her home was also like this, it was very lively outside, but very cold inside.

Now too.

At some point, she was the only one left in her home, and Ren Feng hadn't been to her place for a long time.

Of course it's because sister Chu is pregnant, so he has to go and take care of sister Chu.

Explaining this to herself in her heart, Xiao Xi silently put the things on the sofa, put on the slippers by herself, and went into the kitchen to make food by herself.

She was too busy in the laboratory today, so she didn't have time to eat, so she can only cook something by herself now that she is back.

Anyway, wherever you eat, you eat, and wherever you eat, you eat alone.

After eating in silence, she put hot water on herself again, and finally untied all her clothes, and submerged her whole body in the bathtub, only showing half of her small face.

Hot air rose slowly in the bathroom.

Xiao Xi's vision gradually blurred, and she could not see clearly.

She enjoyed this feeling very much. She was lying in the bathtub alone, surrounded by mist, and everything around her became quiet.

Very quiet, very quiet.

It was so quiet that not even the sound of water could be heard.

"I miss the village chief grandpa..."

She heard a voice inside her whisper.

"I think the village chief, the village, and everyone in the village..."

The voice was very small, like a lonely girl talking in her heart.

"I thought about it too..." Xiao Xi murmured softly.

She suddenly missed the village very much and the days when she lived in the village.

I miss the days when I didn't feel lonely even if I was alone.

Instead of living like this, even in a hot bath, it still feels cold.

"Grandpa Village Chief, I miss you..."

She murmured softly, slowly soaking her body in the hot water, submerging her whole head in it.

……

"Xiaoxi? Are you taking a shower?"

It wasn't until a voice suddenly came that Xiaoxi got up quickly.

"Hey, I'll be right out."

She got up quickly, dried herself, put on her clothes and went out.

It was Ren Feng who came with a plate of dumplings.

"This is the dumpling we made. I saw that you haven't come back, so I left it for you." Ren Feng laughed.

"Oh, thank you."

Xiaoxi quickly took the plate of dumplings, the bottom of the plate seemed to be a bit cold.

"Xiao Xi, how are you doing recently? Are you tired from work?" Ren Feng asked.

"Very good, not tired at all." Xiao Xi raised her head and showed a faint smile.

Not tired at all...
