Deep water

Lin Yue stood outside the door of the room, his face pale with anger, and the bodyguard stood beside him, silent in embarrassment.

Waiting until the creaking sound of the bed boards in the room subsided, Lin Yue resisted the urge to rush in and tear the faces of the pair of sluts apart, and kicked the frame of the door.

It was a tall man who opened the door, wearing only a nightgown loosely on his body. When he saw Lin Yue at the door, the anger on his face immediately turned into sarcasm.

Lin Yue looked in through the half-opened door, and saw a tall and thin figure sitting on the corner of the bed looking towards the door.He tried to figure out who it was with his toes.

Lin Yue gritted his teeth and said, "The major is in a good mood this afternoon." Zhang Hua snorted through his teeth and was about to close the door.

Lin Yue hurriedly said: "It is agreed that the military personnel will have a meeting at two o'clock this afternoon, how long do you want Dad and the others to wait?"

Zhang Hua said indifferently: "I didn't say no." The door slammed shut, and opened after a while. He had already put on the black military uniform, walked out, and immediately turned around and closed the door.

Lin Yue looked like he really wanted to drag him out of the door and beat him up, but they didn't have time.

The bodyguards were leading the way, Zhang Hua had already walked a while, Lin Yue could only give the door a hard look, and hurriedly followed their footsteps.

The corridor was covered with a dark red printed carpet, which was so soft that the three men only made a slight rubbing sound as they walked on it.

Lin Yue walked behind and said in a very low voice: "Don't forget who is your legal partner."

Zhang Hua also ironically said in a very low voice: "Don't forget what was written in the original contract."

Lin Yue's face was livid, and Zhang Hua's face was equally grim.The bodyguard pretended to be deaf in front, feeling bitter in his heart. Fortunately, the road was not very far. When he reached the end of the corridor, he pressed the elevator button.

Although it is said to be a meeting of the military department, there are not many people in the meeting room. When the sea base E07 lost contact with the headquarters a few years ago, there were only about a hundred soldiers and technical departments inside the base, most of whom were technicians. In addition, some survivors were also taken in. Among these survivors, young and middle-aged men accounted for a small proportion, and most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled.

At present, the person who actually holds the most power in the E07 base is General Zhang Jianguo, and he is Lin Yue's father's old boss.

At this time, Zhang Jianguo was sitting at the head, and the expressions of a dozen men in military uniforms were not relaxed.

"As of today, we have been out of contact with the headquarters for 350 days. There is no news from the several teams we have sent out so far. I don't know if there was an accident at the headquarters."

There was silence in the conference room, and no one dared to think about the worst.

If the headquarters falls, then the E07 base will become the last isolated island of mankind.

Zhang Jianguo said in a deep voice: "But the nuclear bomb cleanup plan cannot be delayed any longer. According to the information from the headquarters a year ago, the virus on land is still evolving. I don't know when it will spread to the ocean...I want to hear Listen to everyone's opinions."

It is possible that some marine life has been infected.Lin Yue has seen this virus with his own eyes. Although he is not a technician, he is very aware of its terrifying spread speed. His parents died in the line of duty because they were infected with the virus at the front line.If he hadn't met Zhang Hua at that time, he would be dead now.Lin Yue thought.

A show of hands voted, and most people supported the early release of nuclear bombs, and Lin Yue also voted in favor.

"One more thing," Zhang Jianguo's expression relaxed a little after the most important thing was settled. "There is something wrong with the seawater separation wall of G7, and people have been sent down to repair it. It's the turn of the patrol these days to watch out, and don't let irrelevant people go down. If you don't have important things these days, try not to go to G7. "Base E07 is a sea base, only the top floor G1 is exposed to the sea, followed by G2, G3 down to the bottom G7, most of the buildings are immersed in seawater.Regarding the problem of the breakage of the water partition wall, everyone is not very worried, because the problem of underwater construction has been solved by human beings for decades, not to mention that the military's technology has always been the most advanced.

After Zhang Jianguo finished explaining the matter, he said: "During the preparations for the launch of the nuclear bomb, everyone should be vigilant, and don't make any mistakes at the critical moment. Let's come here today and adjourn the meeting." Lin Yue sorted out the documents, stood up, and Zhang Hua sat away from the door. The closest position, at this time one foot has already walked outside the door.

Zhang Jianguo said: "Zhang Hua and Lin Yue stay here."

It was time to discuss family matters, and everyone filed out one after another. Zhang Hua had no choice but to walk back from the door, and saw Lin Yue standing there and looking at him mockingly.

Zhang Hua's face was dark, Zhang Jianguo saw it, and scolded: "What's your attitude?" Zhang Hua looked at the floor with an indifferent expression.

General Zhang knew for a long time what kind of son he had raised, so he didn't say anything, but turned to Lin Yue and said, "I've read the investigation report, and it's done well."

A look of joy appeared on Lin Yue's face.Zhang Jianguo said: "This time the nuclear bomb is launched, the technical department also needs you to pay more attention." Linton said firmly: "Yes, General."

Zhang Jianguo looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes were narrow and slack due to aging, but they looked deep and sharp because of wisdom.Lin Yue looked straight at him calmly, and could only see clarity in his eyes.

Zhang Jianguo sighed, and said, "My son, please take care of me." Lin Yue's eyes dodged for a moment.

"No, Dad..."

Zhang Hua sneered next to him, turned around and left.

Lin Yue's face turned red and white, and he was extremely embarrassed to stand where he was.

Zhang Jianguo did not stop Zhang Hua from leaving, but instead said: "I know you...you have been wronged since you got married." He insisted: "I am getting old, and the future will still depend on your generation. I hope you and Zhang Hua can support each other." His wrinkled face now has the kindness and sternness of an elder: "Lin Yue, you are very similar to your father. Every time I see you, I will think of you. Lin Changkong." Lin Yue's face turned pale, Zhang Jianguo heaved a sigh of relief, did not continue what he just said, but said: "In a few years, this position will be yours, and I don't worry about leaving these matters to Zhang Hua. …”

Lin Yue had no choice but to interrupt: "General, let's discuss this matter when Zhang Hua is present, besides you... I really can't take the big responsibility." His expression was stiff, he didn't know what to say, he was embarrassed Turned around and left the conference room.

In the evening, there was a party hosted by the wife of the Minister of Scientific Research, Zhang Hua and Lin Yue were invited.

Lin Yue had to go.It's just that he wants Zhang Hua to go with him.

Lin Yue stayed in the corridor for a while before thinking of looking for someone.

Coming to that door again, Lin Yue was not so angry anymore.In fact, he didn't know how he was feeling.

There may be only Zhang Hua inside the door, or there may be two people, or there may be no one.

Lin Yue knocked on the door, but no one came to answer the door.

"Zhang Hua." He said directly, then leaned on the door and listened, and there was silence inside the door. "Mrs. Helen has a banquet tonight, do you have time?"

No response, but that's ok.

Lin Yue said: "You should have received the invitation, come to my room to find me in another hour. Or I will come to you, you should prepare in advance."

Leaning his back against the door panel, he said: "Father already knows about you and Qin Zhi. You break it off as soon as possible. Don't let me find out what happened just now."

The small red dots monitored on the ceiling flickered, Lin Yue was a little tired, and the cold temperature of the metal coming through the shirt behind him made him feel very comfortable.He closes his eyes.

After a while, the head of the man leaning on the door moved forward a little bit, and he woke up suddenly.He looked at the watch on his wrist and quickly left the corridor.

The base has lost contact with the headquarters for nearly a year, but the base itself can supply ingredients and obtain water by filtering and desalinating seawater, so life will not be tight.The privileged classes even have the leisure to hold a luxurious ball.

Lin Yue absolutely didn't like this kind of dance party. He was embarrassed and at a loss when he was mixed among a group of gorgeously dressed women, and the male guests he saw occasionally had exquisite facial features.They have one thing in common, they are all "family members".

Zhang Hua only came to this kind of gathering once, and he refused to come again after that.

"That's why you didn't find him." Lin Yue sat in an inconspicuous corner, opposite a man who was devouring his food.

Lin Yue nodded, looking at the family members who were circling on the dance floor.

Fang Chen had a piece of lettuce in his mouth: "Why did you marry him?"

Lin Yue didn't answer. He didn't want to talk about it anymore. He was very tired recently because of Zhang Hua's affairs.He asked, "How are you and Yu Jin doing?"

Fang Chen complained vaguely: "Isn't it going to launch a nuclear bomb recently? The two of us are so busy that we don't see each other a few times a week."

Lin Yue said: "It will be fine next year. After the nuclear bomb is launched, the land will be cleaned up. After that, there will be nothing to do with your scientific research department."

Fang Chen said: "Where, there is still a lot of work to repair and repair in the Niannian base. You are not from our department. You don't know that the water partition wall under the base has to be maintained almost every month." He pricked a piece with a toothpick Apple, put it in your mouth and crackle.

"Just a few days ago, the water partition wall on the southeast side of G7 cracked a palm width, and the water almost flooded the entire G7. The person in charge of the maintenance this month was scolded by our minister for the bloody nozzle, and now he is still repairing the wall below. With lingering fear in his heart, he said, "Fortunately, it will be me and Lao Yu's turn next month."

Lin Yue frowned: "Does this happen often?"

Fang Chen said: "No. Um... Maybe the water-proof layer of G7 is aging. You know that we haven't contacted the headquarters for a year. We can't supply materials or anything, and there is no way to renovate the water-proof wall. .In fact," he lowered his voice: "Inside information, it seems that the top is planning to abandon the G7. Anyway, there are not many things below. Abandoning the G7 can also reduce the burden on the base."

Lin Yue said: "I want to go to G7 to see the specific situation."

Fang Chen said in surprise: "No way, G7 has just been quarantined by people from your combat headquarters. Now there are only a few technicians working below."

Lin Yue stared at a woman in a dark red backless evening dress on the dance floor, with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Maybe I have a way."

At 28:07 Beijing time, three and a half hours after the dance ended, the emergency escape exit on the east side of the G6 area of ​​the E[-] base.

"Major Lin." The two officers on duty stood at attention and saluted when they saw the man approaching.

Lin Yue was still wearing formal attire for the dinner. "I have the authority of the Minister of Scientific Research, and I am going to G7 to find a document."

The person on duty looked at him and asked if he should send someone to follow him.

Lin Yue said: "No need." He entered the booster room, where a diving suit was prepared.

Lin Yue took off the clothes on his body. On the expensive suit, there was a faint smell of women's perfume, tobacco and alcohol.The black diving suit wrapped the male's slender and fit body, and Lin Yue's calm expression was reflected on the hatch glass. After 1 minute, the lights in the decompression chamber slowly dimmed, and at the same time, the lighting system on his body started to work.

"The boost is complete, the hatch is about to open, please pay attention to safety."

The hatch opened slowly from bottom to top, and the icy seawater poured in.

In the dark deep sea, the man's figure was as sharp and swift as a fish.Lin Yue went downstream. The laser searchlight on his head could only illuminate a small area in front of him. He carefully swam along the outer wall of the base. Fluorescent indicators were painted on the outer alloy wall. He couldn't see anything.

The passage from G6 to G7 in the base was blocked from below, which forced him to enter from the outside drain.The feeling of being immersed in sea water made Lin Yue very nervous, even though he knew that this sea area was being monitored all the time, and there would be nothing underwater.Just when his physical strength was about to run out, he finally saw the entrance of the manhole cover.But this circular door also needs authentication to open.

"Damn it!" Lin Yue cursed and greeted the designer's family ruthlessly.He was already at the bottom of the entire base at this time, and the very inhuman iris verification of this door made him stick to the horizontal steel plate like a starfish.

Lin Yue used all his strength to open the door, and walked in swearing.

The entire floor of G7 has been soaked in seawater, and there is no difference from the outside of the base, but Lin Yue was relieved to enter the bright and safe environment from the dark seawater.

The two technicians who were patching the wall obviously didn't expect a person to come in from the outside, and looked at him in surprise.

"Hi, everyone." Lin Yue explained, "I'm here to get the documents, you go ahead and leave me alone." All three of them were wearing diving suits, and his voice was transmitted through the internal channel.The two men nodded to him when they heard it.Lin Yue noticed that there was a pile of tools at their feet, which he didn't recognize, and they should be used to repair the wall.

A large part of G7 is the database for the scientific research department to store data, and all electronic instruments that store data in it can operate normally underwater.Lin Yue walked to the room closest to him. Before the door was fully opened, he saw a child huddled in the chair facing the door.

Lin Yue was taken aback, and many terrifying guesses flashed through his mind. He rushed to the chair, only then did he realize that the child was wearing a diving suit.

The child was sleeping with his eyes closed, and was woken up by the sound of Lin Yue entering the door. When he opened his eyes and saw Lin Yue, he jumped off the chair and swam to the door, calling his father.

Lin Yue was a little angry at being fooled, followed her to the door, and saw the girl leaning against a man.It was one of the two people just now. Seeing Lin Yue's expression was a bit awkward.

Lin Yue asked, "Is this your child?"

The man explained: "No one at home took her with me, so I asked her to come down with me."

Lin Yue said: "You can't keep looking at her, isn't it more dangerous here?"

The man quickly said: "No, this child is safe and won't run around and touch things."

Feeling his probing eyes, Lin Yue reached out and touched the little girl Yuanyuan's small waterproof helmet without saying a word.

Lin Yue said, "How old is the little girl?"

The little girl looked at her father and said, "Five years old."

Lin Yue sighed: "So small? It's rare to see such a small child in the base now." The girl wrinkled her face when she heard his words.

Lin Yue said: "I don't have anything to do right now, I'll help you take care of it, go get busy."

The man said gratefully, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Lin Yue knew that he was not thanking him for helping to take care of the child.He took the little girl back to the room just now.The optical brain is at hand, but he has no intention of opening it.

Lin Yue: "What's your name?" The little girl didn't speak, her eyes rolled around.

Lin Yue is not very good at dealing with people, let alone coaxing children.Neither of them spoke, and it was boring to just sit, but he couldn't go out so quickly.

Lin Yue suddenly thought of a very important thing. He took the child's hand and said, "Go, uncle will take you to see something interesting." The little girl was very shy and let him hold her hand without saying a word.

The two walked through several corridors and came to the west side of the G7 area.Lin Yue stopped in front of a door.The door was a little different from the others, with a keyhole under the handle.Lin Yue took out a key from his breast pocket, put it in the keyhole, and pushed the door open with a little force.

The room is not big, and there are several easels against the wall, and the white cloth that was originally covered on them is floating slightly in the water.Some have pictures on them, some don't.

"It's over." Lin Yue was a little annoyed, he completely forgot about it.Fortunately, most of the works are kept in waterproof bags, thanks to his usual good habits.

The other wall was converted into a shelf, and the white canvases were wrapped in waterproof bags and stacked on the shelf. At this time, they were a little scattered by the sea water.

However, what is more eye-catching is the outermost wall. This wall, or it can no longer be called a wall, is a whole floor-to-ceiling window.Through the high-strength thickened glass, you can see the black sea water outside, and you can only see the black sea water.

Lin Yue touched the swollen wooden easel, even if it was taken out to dry, it would not be usable.These are the easels he brought all the way from his original home, and he has used them since he was drawing in elementary school.He was very sad, and those few paintings that were not finished were probably ruined, and one of them was his most recent masterpiece.He lifted the floating white cloth, and the sea water had ruined his proud work into a rag.

Lin Yue pinched the cloth in pain, but finally decided to take it back.

The little girl waited impatiently and tapped the waterproof helmet lightly.Lin Yue took her to the front of the shelf and watched her caress gently through the waterproof bag.The little girl looked at the content on the canvas, and her eyes shone like stars.

Lin Yue laughed: "Do you like it? Does it look good?" He said softly, "I knew you would like it."

He looked at the time: "It's time for us to find your father."

Lin Yue took the girl back to the hall on the east side, just as the work of the two of them had come to an end.

He leaned over to the patched seam and looked carefully, and said in surprise, "It's cracked so much?!"

The girl's father said: "Yeah, it's very strange. This has never happened before. Even if it is aging, it will not fall off in one piece." Both technicians regarded Lin Yue as a member of the scientific research department.

Lin Yue said: "Could it be caused by external forces?"

The other two people were taken aback by his words: "That's absolutely impossible. The base has been monitoring the sea area within a hundred miles, and if there are any abnormalities, they won't fail to find them."

Looking at their expressions, Lin Yue had a bad guess in his heart.He is not a professional in this field. Looking carefully at the crack, he can only see a few smooth straight lines.

But shouldn't the cracks in the wall be jagged?

When Lin Yue returned to the room, it was almost three o'clock in the morning.He did not live with Zhang Hua, but lived in a four-person dormitory.Several people in the dormitory are out on duty today, and there is no one in the dormitory.He originally thought so, when he opened the door, he found that the lights were on in the dormitory, and an uninvited guest was sitting on his bed with a dark face.

Lin Yue closed the door: "Why are you here?"

Zhang Hua kept the fire in his heart for most of the night, and suddenly burst into flames: "You still know to come back? Are you swearing vigorously in the middle of the night? Did you forget that there is a monitoring device in the diving suit? People call me all the time. Already!"

Lin Yue suddenly remembered the one-way channel, which was directly connected to the main control room of the base, and there were special personnel monitoring it day and night to prevent accidents.

He no longer remembers what he said at that time, but the fact that the content reached Zhang Hua's ears within a few hours made him inexplicably annoyed. part.

Lin Yue said: "I'm sorry, it was my negligence."

Zhang Hua said: "Do you really think you can hide from anyone? The minister's wife asked me before giving you the power. A few minutes later, I received a call from the head of the G6 district... "

Lin Yue never denied that he loved this person, but for a moment he felt deep hatred.

Zhang Hua is still talking.He sat on the bed, and Lin Yue stood in front of him, five steps away from him.His eyes were looking away, the light casting a small shadow on his face.This is Lin Yue's usual action, and Zhang Hua is very familiar with it. Although he can't see his face clearly, he is sure that his face must be expressionless at this time.

He is still talking, but his mind is no longer on this, and he has said too many similar words, as if he has formed a habit.

Lin Yue looked up inadvertently.Zhang Hua kept watching him.

Zhang Hua will never forget this look in his life. At that time, he was startled, and the second half of his words were swallowed back into his stomach.He never thought that Lin Yue would look at him like this, as if he was looking at a heinous bug.

Lin Yue said impatiently: "Have you said enough, I want to sleep."

Zhang Hua was silent for a moment, and said, "What are you doing at G7 today?"

Lin Yue: "The wall of G7 cracked a big piece, I think something is wrong." He told Zhang Hua what he saw.

Zhang Hua nodded: "I will tell the general about it."

Zhang Hua said: "By the way. Isn't your studio in G7? Was it flooded?"

Hearing him mentioning this matter, Lin Yue's expression softened a little, and he became a little frustrated again: "A few paintings were soaked in water, and the others are fine." He remembered that he had brought back another canvas, and took the crumpled canvas out of his trousers. Take it out of your pocket.

Zhang Hua said: "What painting? Show me."

Lin Yue deliberately said: "What's so interesting? Didn't you say it was trash last time?"

Zhang Hua pretended not to hear, Tian snatched the ball of cloth with a straight face, unfolded it and flattened it.

The sea water blurred part of the blue paint, soaked the entire canvas, and even the white part in the middle became a faint blue.

Zhang Hua: "What is the painting?"

Lin Yue was a little surprised. He didn't look at it carefully just now. The painting was not finished, it just lacked the final coloring, and the sea water did this step for him.

Lin Yue said: "It's a jellyfish." The whole painting became blurred, but he saw something from inside that he didn't have before. This feeling reminded him of the black sea water outside the studio window.

Zhang Hua wondered, "Jellyfish?"

Lin Yue said: "It was extinct more than 30 years ago. I saw it from a book." He took out a book from the bookshelf next to the bed.Lin Yue has a lot of books, filling the entire bookshelf.

Zhang Hua held the book in his hand without opening it: "Lend me this book. Also, your paintings are beautiful, can I take them away?"

Lin Yue didn't say anything, a smile overflowed from the corner of his eyes, and he said after a while: "You can only take one at a time."

Zhang Hua: "Put that painting away, I'll get it next time. Don't throw it away."

He walked towards the door, and Lin Yue's voice came softly from behind: "Qin Zhi can't draw such a picture, can he?"

Zhang Hua suddenly lost his temper, and looked back at him coldly.

Lin Yue sat by the bed: "Father already knows about your affairs, I advise you as soon as possible..."

He was answered by a loud slam of the door.

Lin Yue's mood was much better than when he came back.He found a change of clothes from the drawer, hummed a song and went into the bathroom.

In the bathroom, Lin Yue stared at the man in the mirror.Because he joined the army, his body is flexible and powerful, but he will not appear strong. He is slender and not tall, but his proportions are excellent.

He looked at his own face, which, like all Westerners, had deep features but plain features.He once took a look at Qin Zhi from a distance, thinking that he was inferior in appearance.

Being of Chinese-Russian descent, he has black hair from his father and gray eyes from his mother.

Lin Yue knew that Zhang Hua didn't like his eyes, although he never said so.He still remembers Zhang Hua's expression when he saw him for the first time.

He reached out and touched his face, and his mother said his eyes were like a Russian rainy day.

This reminded him of his homeland again, although the homeland has long been wiped out in history.

"Russia..." When Lin Yue said the word unconsciously, Fang Chen was obviously taken aback for a moment.

The word was too distant for them.

"what?"

"No." Lin Yue smiled apologetically, "I wasted your lunch break."

Just now Yu Jin looked at him as if he wanted to swallow him alive.

Fang Chen: "It's okay, Lao Yu is just that dog-tempered."

He asked, "Did you find anything when you went to G7 yesterday?"

Lin Yue: "It's just my guess. Have you checked that crack?"

Fang Chen: "No, it's all from people in the ministry."

Lin Yue said: "Have you found the reason for the crack?"

Fang Chen: "The wall is aging. There is no other reason than this." He thought for a while and added: "Unless someone destroys it from the inside, but I think this is impossible."

Lin Yue said solemnly: "I feel like it was destroyed from the outside."

Fang Chen laughed: "No way. People in your military department should know best how safe the base is..."

Lin Yue: "The crack is very smooth. If it wasn't for someone's tricks, it could only be external damage."

Fang Chen put down his cup: "Then I'd rather believe that someone wants everyone to die together. Lin Yue, you're not a professional at this. If something really happens, we'll report it to the headquarters as soon as possible. You don't have to worry."

Lin Yue leaned back on the cotton chair in the restaurant and sighed.

"Do you remember my studio?" Seeing Fang Shen nodded, he continued: "Speaking of which, I'm going to move soon, and the room in G7 is so soaked that it can't be used."

He murmured: "When I was painting some time ago, I always felt that there was something looking at me from outside..."

"Lin Yue." Fang Chen interrupted him, frowning: "Are you overtired these days?"

Lin Yue was silent for a while: "Maybe."

Fang Chen comforted: "You have to take a leave of absence and have a good rest."

Lin Yue lowered his head and looked at his watch, and said with a wry smile: "Recently, there are not enough manpower, so I don't have time. I'm about to leave, and I have to be on duty in the afternoon."

Fang Chen: "Shall we have dinner together tonight?"

Lin Yue: "Yu Jin is going to fight with me."

Fang Chen laughed loudly, Lin Yue pushed away the chair and stood up, waving his hands casually.

Three hours later, the daily routine meeting of the military department.

Lin Yue could almost imagine General Zhang leaving him alone.

After everyone walked out of the meeting room, Zhang Jianguo said, "Lin Yue."

Lin Yue quickly glanced at the corner, Zhang Hua's seat is empty today.

He spoke first, "General, I have something to do."

Zhang Jianguo didn't have the usual amiable look on his face: "This matter of mine may be a little more important."

Lin Yue didn't say anything.

Zhang Jianguo said sternly, "What do you think about what happened last night?"

Lin Yue: "I'm very sorry, General. I forgot about the one-way channel."

Zhang Jianguo said: "You should explain your purpose of going to the G7 without authorization, after I explicitly prohibited this matter yesterday."

Lin Yue said embarrassingly: "I heard from one of my, uh...friends in the scientific research department that there was an accident in G7, and I want to investigate it myself."

Zhang Jianguo: "I'm afraid this is not within the scope of your duties."

Lin Yue had nothing to say: "Yes."

Zhang Jianguo said: "But I can understand your concern about the safety of the base. I hope there will be no next time. Now tell me about your discovery."

Lin Yue looked at him gratefully.Zhang Jianguo has the convincing power of a leader, which makes people feel solid and reliable.

After listening to Lin Yue's description, Zhang Jianguo said: "Although the base's detection system is impeccable, we have to take precautions. I will let them pay special attention to this matter, and, although your motives are good, But I don't like your ways very much."

Lin Yueshun said: "There will be no next time."

Zhang Jianguo: "It's very dangerous to do so. Both Zhang Hua and I are very worried..." He coughed: "You have no experience in entering waters below 2000 meters alone before?"

Lin Yue saw in his eyes a kind of emotion that only elders can have, this kind of feeling he never had since his parents passed away.

"But punishment is inevitable." Zhang Jianguo blinked and said, "All the toilets in G3 belong to you this week, young man, do a good job."

When Zhang Hua found Lin Yue at the toilet door, he was leaning on the railing to smoke.

"You know how to smoke?"

Lin Yue turned around and saw him: "This is the worst way to strike up a conversation I've ever heard, Major Zhang."

He stubbed out the cigarette: "I thought you and Qin Zhi were going to jump into the sea hand in hand."

Zhang Hua glared at him, and the emotion surging in Lin Yue's gray eyes soon made him feel uncomfortable.He dodged and said, "Did you tell Zhang Jianguo about that?"

Lin Yue: "I thought you would talk first."

"And," he pointed impatiently, "why did you spread the word about last night?"

Zhang Hua said aggrievedly: "I didn't say it at all. So many people heard it together, why do you suspect me?!"

"Oh." Lin Yue rolled his eyes: "Then I blamed you wrongly."

Lin Yue: "But what's going on these days? I haven't seen you for almost a week."

Zhang Hua questioned, "Why do I let you see me every day?"

Lin Yue: "I am your legal partner."

Zhang Hua didn't want to entangle him with this question: "I'm going to perform the task." He could almost guess what Lin Yue would ask in the next second.

Lin Yue said: "What task?"

really.Zhang Hua closed his eyes: "Level B confidential, you don't seem to have permission."

Lin Yue didn't like his expression very much: "Then, I will ask Dad myself."

Zhang Hua said: "I bet he won't tell you."

Lin Yue gritted his teeth and swore that he would definitely ask.He knew it would bore Zhang Hua, but for a moment he couldn't help himself.

Sure enough, Zhang Hua seemed to be planning to leave.

Lin Yue hurriedly said, "What are you looking for me for?"

Zhang Hua just remembered.He was a little awkward: "Do you have time tonight?"

Lin Yue froze for a moment, before laughing, he said, "I really didn't expect that."

Zhang Hua hurriedly said: "Forget it if you don't have one."

"No." Zhang Hua was taken aback by Lin Yue's uncontrollable volume, but fortunately he came over quickly and said, "Is it because Qin Zhi doesn't have time tonight?"

Zhang Hua was annoyed at him repeatedly mentioning this person: "No. My mother invited us this time..." He stopped talking halfway.

Lin Yue had already put a winner's smile on his face.

The evening banquet was more difficult than Zhang Hua imagined.

He looked at the wall clock on the wall and tried to get up from the sofa: "It's getting late, Mom, let's go back first."

A few hands came over and pressed him firmly on the sofa.A middle-aged foreign woman with heavy makeup said: "Don't be like this, I think your mother would like to know how you are doing recently."

Lin Yue was wearing a dark-pattern shirt that he had never seen before, and was sitting on his left, enjoying the black tea in a small porcelain cup elegantly, turning a blind eye to the torture his partner was suffering.Zhang Hua suspected that his butt was already glued to the sofa.

"Yes." Zhang Hua's mother sat on the sofa opposite.She is a kind and elegant woman, the charm of her youth still stays on her face. "I heard about that incident. Jianguo is a bit strict, but he is also for your own good."

Everyone here obviously knows what it is. For women, there are no secrets in this world.

Lin Yue's expression froze for a moment.Zhang Hua took pleasure in this misfortune and said, "Mum, Lin Yue won't care if it's fine."

Lin Yue put a smile on his face again, racking his brains to say something casually to skip this damn topic.

Unexpectedly, the general's wife suddenly said: "Isn't it the anniversary of your parents' death in a few days?"

There was a moment of silence in the room, just for a moment, but Lin Yue felt it, and the eyes cast on him made him uncomfortable.

Lin Yue hesitated and said, "Yes... I'm planning to visit them these few days." In fact, he would go whenever he had free time.

The general's wife's expression made him feel warm: "I'm very sorry to mention this matter, I know you are very sad. Let Zhang Hua go with you."

Zhang Hua hurriedly said: "I will, Mom." He took the initiative to put his arms around Lin Yue's shoulders.But Lin Yue rarely responded.

Lin Yue felt a little embarrassed to mention this matter on such an occasion, he reluctantly said: "Mom, it's too late now, let's take our leave..."

"Okay, okay, go back and be careful." The general's wife stood up from the sofa, with worries and regrets in her eyes.

Zhang Hua had never seen Lin Yue like this.Two people walked in the corridor, no one spoke.

Zhang Hua's cell phone rang, and he took it out and looked at it while walking.

"Who?" Lin Yue asked suddenly.

Zhang Hua shook the phone: "It's my mother. She's sorry for what happened just now."

Lin Yue waved his hand: "Your mother is fine."

Zhang Hua: "Of course I know she is fine." Lin Yue walked ahead
