Didn't No. 12 pick up the communicator and finally give up the treatment? !

What should come will always come, admit it... Ludo took a deep breath and pressed the connect button.

The bust of Montan appeared above his wrist, his blue eyes fixed on Ludo, and his face was calm and prestige.The two fell silent at the same time.

"This is force majeure!" Ludo exclaimed suddenly.

Montan frowned, apparently this answer did not satisfy him.This little scientist lover who is busy on the starship all day long has too much work in his head.Although he often complained that the group of bosses in the research institute were all lunatics, in fact he himself was not too far behind—a little lunatic.

"I'm sorry." Ludo's usually few EQs are now online collectively. "This time, it's really, I didn't inform you of the time. Those lunatics gave us 5 minutes."

Montan's expression softened a little. He actually understood very well. After all, he was in the military department, and it was the same when he encountered an emergency mission.Perhaps the only difference is that the preparation time left for yourself is only 2 minutes.Since the identities of the two people are actually similar to a certain extent, Lu Duo cannot be required to do things that he cannot do.

"When will you come back?"

"Huh?" The little scientist who always felt that he should accept a storm of criticism didn't turn his head around.

"Slip away for a month without making a sound..."

"No! Strictly speaking, there are only three and a half cosmic weeks!"

"Round me up!"

"Yes, you are right."

Montan narrowed his eyes slightly. "Next time, please notify me a few days in advance, and I will find a way to lock you up if you disappear for no reason. Like, last, time, that."

"...I refuse!" In order not to let myself work during the vacation time, I was locked in the bedroom and couldn't get out of bed for a week... Can Nima still play happily? !

"Okay, I'll send you a list now, some of the special products of the central star, you go and buy them back." Montan seemed to be no longer angry, and lowered his head to press the communicator on his wrist.

In any case, the goal has been achieved, and Montan has forgiven himself!Ludo nodded repeatedly and offered a flattering smile.

Seeing this smile, Montan couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.It's not that the guy doesn't love himself, it's just that he's too stupid to express himself, and unfortunately, sometimes he gets darker and worse.Fortunately, if there is misfortune, fortunately, I understand him.At times like this, just take a step back and forgive him.Anyway, as long as he is still there, this guy will definitely come back and keep up with his footsteps again.

"This K-I79 product is the latest model with exquisite workmanship. Although the chain is made of fine steel, the fur in the middle of the collar comes from the snow-line fox specially domesticated by the central star. Not only will it not hurt people, but it will also emit a fragrance. , increase sentiment." The shopping guide robot located on the central interstellar network dutifully introduced him.

"?" The little scientist looked at the list of things he wanted to buy, with a confused expression on his face.

"This 4764 product optimizes the built-in system chip. In addition to the traditional vibration frequency, it can also automatically adjust the temperature and shape. It has up to 72 shapes and a memory function of [-] cosmic hours. Everything can be set through the chip. The production material is closer to the human body than the previous products, and it is mild and harmless. However, according to customer needs, some sexual liquids can be added appropriately, and additional purchase is required. Here, Xiao K recommends trial size III to you... ..."

I go!Is there something wrong? !

"The next product, the KT-7 reagent, was just improved three days ago. It is produced by Merck Bahrain Pharmaceutical Company. It has improved the compatibility with more types of human body in terms of prescription ratio, and has reached the goal of further promoting the excitement of the human body. And long-lasting medicinal effects. Six different usages and special usage effects, you can refer to the instructions..."

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa whoa!"

-END-

"Don't panic"

When Xiao Chen set foot on the land of City A again, he couldn't help taking a deep breath.

It's finally back!

There is no doubt that he loves this city, whether it is the row of birthstones in Liuzi Park, the endless reeds on the winding Tongfeng River, or the ginkgo tree in front of the city library. The road is his favorite.Due to the special work situation, he has not returned home for three years, but he misses this city more and more day by day.Now it's finally the holidays!He is back!

The first place Xiao Chen was going to was the cemetery on the outskirts of the city.

It's not the season of sacrifice and sweeping, and there are not many people in the entire cemetery.He bought a bouquet of flowers at the door and walked in slowly.Walking along the neat stone path to a black marble tombstone with ease, he was stunned for a moment in front of the shiny stone surface.

Although there was an online booking before for the cemetery staff to clean it regularly, but looking at it now, it seems that it has only been cleaned for a few days.Regardless of whether the people here are too diligent or what, anyway, Xiao Chen is very satisfied.

"Dad, Mom, I'm here to see you." He put the flowers on the pedestal, looked around subconsciously, and began to talk about how unreasonable his work is, "No way, it is a very important scientific research after all. For the project, you have to do it after signing the non-disclosure agreement, even if you stand in front of you, you can’t say it.” He smiled apologetically, and turned to talk about his life.

Xiao Chen quickly ended this topic due to the dull and lifeless days.He pressed his hand on the cold stone tablet, stood like this for a while, bowed, turned and left.

Leaving the cemetery, Xiao Chen went to the supermarket to pick up two bags of food, and returned to his "home" after three years of absence.This house was rented out originally, but the other party withdrew the rent two months ago, and now it happens to be vacant.Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise it would be too bizarre to go home after traveling thousands of miles and have to stay in a hotel.He didn't plan to decorate at all—his work situation couldn't allow time to fiddle—he'd finish the vacation like this first.He hasn't figured out what to do next.

After thinking about it, he sent a message in his circle of friends, and those who are interested in renting a house came to chat privately, and the price was negotiable due to time constraints.Xiao Chen threw away his cell phone, dug out a few dishes and washed them, and then took out a new set of bedding and made them up.

When I got back, someone replied.

"Where did you go? You've been missing for so long!" This is a buddy from the dormitory next door in college.

"Hehe, come and see, when did the guy who hasn't used Moments for thousands of years get better?" The roommate immediately followed to join in the fun, and by the way called a group of old classmates to watch.

At the end of all the greeting messages, there is the only one that fits the theme - "Where's the house?"

Xiao Chen didn't know that person, at least he couldn't tell from the pattern on his head that he knew him at all.Xiao Chen quickly finished replying to other friends, and finally it was his turn, he stopped for a moment, moved his fingers and reported the name of the street.Soon came a friend request.Xiao Chen clicked to confirm, and opened the private chat.

"Hello there."

"your home?"

Xiao Chen froze for a moment.This is probably not a stranger, so he asked frankly who you are?The next message made his hands tremble uncontrollably.

"Zhou Rongyu"

It's him... not only is he not a stranger, but also the person I liked for four years in college...

The appearance of this name seemed to open a door that had been sealed for a long time. Through the dust flying around, Xiao Chen's heart shrank severely, and then stretched out again. It was as if nothing had happened, like facing an ordinary person. Yes, the classmate I haven't seen for many years, is so calm without any waves.

It's been four years of liking, so what?

Xiao Chen recalled the scenes of Zhou Rongyu and Song Yuanyuan going out in pairs in the next two years, and his tone softened. "It's my home."

"Can I ask, why?"

"Work reasons."

After all, he was a classmate, even if he was sure that he really didn't want to hand over his home to those two people, he still maintained the most basic courtesy.After all these years, have they been married?The reason why I haven't heard such news is because I tried my best not to listen to it. That's all, it doesn't mean that things didn't happen.

"I want to rent, can we talk about it?"

Xiao Chen frowned.He began to think of reasons for rejection.He didn't want to be tortured face to face by the person he likes again during the vacation he finally earned.

Like that person already seems like a habit and necessity, four years is enough to form such a habit.Even though that person started dating Song Yuanyuan in the last two years, Xiao Chen gradually moved his eyes away, but that feeling of liking has long been firmly remembered in his heart, and it is not so easy to forget.He can ignore him, accept that he is not there, and even pretend that he is not there, but he can't just watch him with that woman.

A person who loves selflessly and who can send blessings to those he loves and others is at best a coward.

Xiao Chen thought, in fact, he has no courage.

Wasn't the reason why I chose this job in the first place to do everything possible to avoid that person?Because I was afraid of hearing the news of his marriage, I would rather not listen to or read anything.We've known each other for so long, but we just added WeChat.

The question is what to do now, refuse?After thinking about it, Xiao Chen told a lie.

"There are still people on my side who want to rent. I feel relieved to be alone..." In this way, no matter how much he wants to rent, he has a reason to refuse.

As a result, the opposite side came back immediately. "I'm alone"

Xiao Chen froze for a moment.In any case, the answer is not in his reaction
