nebula story

"No, you don't know." Chesu shook his head, with sincere gratitude in his dark eyes, "It was very important for me to rest for a few minutes at that time."

Although the memory of this person was terrified to the bone marrow, he also clearly remembered the unbearable and sympathetic expressions in the pharmacist's eyes from time to time in the ups and downs of pain.

Unlike the middle-aged man who was mainly in charge of torture, there was something soft about this young officer, and he could easily feel it even if he was as insensitive to the world.

The door of the inner room opened quickly, and Professor Aberron came out with a piece of paper that had just been printed out, and handed it to Chesu: "Bring it to Dean Fu, he can understand it."

Taking a peek at the data on the paper, Bi Rong's heart sank.The indicators of several biological enzymes are still seriously exceeding the standard, and he knows better than anyone else why those dark numbers are generated, and how they will gnaw their teeth and claws in the human body, making people feel miserable or lingering from time to time.

After jumping off the treatment table, Chesu bowed to Professor Aberron and said goodbye in a harmonious voice: "Thank you for your interruption."

Sighing silently, the old professor didn't say much.

Following Chesu, Bi Rong also went out.

Walking side by side in the corridor, looking at Chesu, the young former lieutenant suddenly whispered: "Now, I am no longer working in the military."

"Huh?" Chesu was a little puzzled.

"Since you were taken away for rescue, please transfer me back." Bi Rong scratched his head embarrassingly, "I was originally here to do research, but I was temporarily recruited to MI[-]."

As if explaining to Chesu why he appeared here, his expression was a bit relieved: "Sure enough, it is more suitable for me to concentrate on research. The army is too iron-blooded and cruel."

"Oh, you—" looked around vaguely, and the boy opposite nodded, "Is this the Life Research Institute? I basically stay in the Mecha Research Institute, so I haven't met you."

Looking at him hesitantly, Bi Rong could no longer hold back the surprise and blurted out: "Are you really helping our Federation...to develop a new generation of mechas?"

Nodding calmly, Chesu's expression did not show the shame he expected: "Yes."

"Ah", Bi Rong opened his mouth in a daze - how is it possible?He obviously refused to nod his head when he was on the verge of death, so why did he suddenly surrender willingly?

He didn't speak any more, the quiet young man opposite him still had a smile on his lips, but for some reason, Bi Rong felt a trace of sadness for no reason when he saw that gentle smile floating in his handsome eyebrows and eyes.

Stopping in front of a room near the elevator, Bi Rong hesitated and stopped.Looking at his research room, he suddenly blurted out: "Would you like to come in with me? This is my personal research room."

"Huh?" Chesu looked at him in surprise.

Embarrassedly pointing to the test sheet in Chesu's hand, Bi Rong lowered his voice: "I...I want to study it."

"Ah", Chesu hesitated a little, turned to look at the empty corridor, he waited.

Sure enough, Miao Dong quickly walked out of the shadows, and nodded to Chesu's quietly waiting eyes: "It's okay, I can make the decision."

"It's better not to use it." Chesu shook his head absent-mindedly, "Dean Fu has done his best. My body is fine."

The young and kind ex-MI[-] pharmacist became visibly depressed, and his bright eyes dimmed just now: "Just, just for a while, okay? I just want to look at the data, and I won't do anything to you."

Looking helplessly at his guilty and cautious expression, Chesu stopped, finally nodded, and said softly, "Okay, then thank you."

Stepping into the neat and quiet research room, Chesu was out of Miao Dong's sight, and his body movements seemed to be much softer.After graciously serving him a cup of instant tea, Bi Rong hurriedly entered a large amount of data on the piece of paper in his hand on the analyzer at the side, and did not forget to turn around and smile apologetically at Chesu: "You sit down first. Ah, I'll be fine soon!"

"Oh, okay, you're busy." Sitting quietly on the round chair that Bi Rong brought, Chesu looked at the small row of iron cages on the laboratory bench, staring intently.There are iron bars on the small iron cage, and many chubby little white mice are locked inside.

The research room was extremely quiet, only the sound of Bi Rong concentrating on operating the instrument, and the occasional soft sound of the experimental mice in front of Chesu running in the small iron cage.

After a long time, Bi Rong stopped the analysis in his hands and solemnly entered some results.Turning his head to see Chesu's childish expression staring curiously at those little white mice, he couldn't help laughing: "It's for experiments."

A little embarrassed, Chesu was slightly embarrassed: "Ah, very cute and well-behaved. But it seems a little dull, not very clever."

Looking at the little white mice, Bi Rong said casually, "Yes, they are demented."

Turning back in astonishment, Chesu looked at him: "What?"

"Oh, this is a small white mouse used in a biochemical experiment we did before, and I have been following up and observing it." Bi Rong explained, "In fact, the experiment has been successful, so these small white mice are demented. .”

Staring blankly at the quiet little white mice in front of him, Chesu hesitated and stretched out a slender finger, and poked the one in front of him lightly. Sure enough, the little white mouse didn't dodge, didn't startle, just moved lazily. For a moment, it seemed completely unmoved.

"Why... make them demented?"

"I was originally researching chemical weapons." Bi Rong scratched his head and explained patiently, "This is a biochemical agent that can damage brain neurons in a short period of time, and then stop the activation of brain cells, and enter the living body and blood After combining, it will work in half an hour. However, there is still no further research and development.”

"Because it's too cruel?" Chesu murmured.

"There must be a reason for this." Bi Rong sighed. After all, years of painstaking efforts ended up in vain, and he still felt regretful. "Firstly, the use of biological and chemical weapons in interstellar warfare is controversial even within the military. Secondly, the most important point Yes, this medicine can only exist stably in a solid state, once it is atomized or liquefied, it will lose the potency we want to see."

Staring closely at the little white mice with slow movements and dull eyes, Chesu didn't speak for a long time.Looking from the side, Bi Rong could only see his thick and thick eyelashes lowered, covering his eyes.

"Hehe, don't be sad for them." Bi Rong suddenly realized, "It's just a white mouse, they don't know pain."

Looking up at him, the quiet young man from the empire looked dazed: "Ah... don't you know the pain?"

Nodding ignorantly, the brown-haired former lieutenant grinned: "Yeah, you're demented!"

The special car drove quietly until it stopped abruptly in front of the small white villa in the suburbs.Jumping out of the car first, Miao Dong opened the car door with his own hands, and stood aside watching Chesu get out of the car.

Like these days, he watched Chesumai enter the gate of the courtyard, and Mrs. Lin's figure appeared in his eyes for the first time, then he backed away quietly, got in the car and walked away.

Hurrying forward, the gentle smile on Mrs. Lin's face was like the morning sun, with a faint light: "Are you back? Have you brought enough food for lunch? As soon as you went out in the morning, I remembered that there was something stewed in the pot. I forgot to bring you cod soup, so I stayed up all night in vain."

Reaching out to take the lunch box from Chesu's hand, she looked at Chesu's pale face, and said softly, "Is it hard work? Your body hasn't recovered yet, so you go out early and come back late every day..."

Shaking his head quickly, Chesu walked side by side with her to the front hall: "No, no, I'm not tired."

"The laboratory test sheet ordered by Dean Fu...is it okay?" Mrs. Lin asked nervously.

Without taking out the data sheet that was still full of over-standard values, Chesu lowered his head and murmured: "It's pretty good. The experts in the biochemical laboratory said that it's much better."

Seeing him not daring to look directly at her, Mrs. Lin felt a sharp pain in her heart.Having lived with Chesu for so long, although she seldom had the opportunity to confess her heart to him, she had already understood many of the child's natures by staring at him every day and worrying about him every day. ——And these dispositions were originally very easy to discover.

For example, he never speaks harshly to people he doesn't like, but just quiets down silently and immerses himself in his own little world.For example, if you are unwilling or disdain to tell lies, when you have to say something against your will, you will always be embarrassed and shy, and you will not dare to look at others with clear eyes.

A loud shout suddenly came from the flower garden beside the two, full of air: "Hurry up, come and help me!"

A little astonished, Chesu looked hesitantly towards the source of the sound. An old man with gray hair stood up from among the flowers and vigorously waved the shovel in his hand: "Come on, it's you!—I'm calling you, little grandson!" !..."

Looking at the old man with a smile, Mrs. Lin beckoned to Chesu in a low voice: "That's my father." Looking at Chesu hopefully, she twisted her slender fingers, "If you're not very tired, why don't you go over and talk to him?" He talked? The second day after you came to the house this time, he flew here by plane to watch over you all night...."

After Xie Zhan revealed everything to her on the phone, she immediately informed her father.When the old man arrived in a private plane, Chesu was still in a coma.Because he was eager to deal with and consult the legal issues about Chesu's identity, the old man left before Chesu woke up.

Looking at the old man among the flowers and trees, Chesu walked over slowly.Mrs. Lin breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the figures of the old and the young with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but for some reason, there were tears in her eyes.

The mess caused by the arrest more than a month ago has disappeared, the destroyed outdoor stone tables and chairs have been replaced, the damaged flowers and trees have also been pulled out, and new varieties have been replanted.With his hands full of black flower fertilizer, the old man of the Lin family was a little out of breath, and he waved at Chesu unceremoniously: "Come on, help me water this magnolia plant. My waist flashed!"

Hurriedly running over to support him, Chesu stretched her slender neck anxiously: "Does it matter? There is a doctor at home who can come quickly, you still..."

"Why don't you!" The old man's voice was like a bell, and with his support, he sat down by the side of the small pavilion, "Call me grandpa!"

After being stunned for a while, Chesu's lips twitched, but no sound came out.

Staring at him, the old man of the Lin family suddenly waved his hands: "Okay, okay, your mother told me not to force you."

Pursing his lips, Chesu's face turned pale, and he looked around, then quickly ran to the plant the old man mentioned, dragged the long water pipe over diligently, turned on the faucet and poured water on it, and then carefully poured water on it. Clean up fallen leaves and debris around.He didn't run to the old man's side right away, he buried his head, found the bag of flower fertilizer that the old man left behind, sealed it carefully, and put it away together with the small shovel and scissors beside him in the bag.

Rubbing his hands and standing there, pointing to the small tree beside him, he said awkwardly: "This kind of tree is very similar to our empire..."

Mr. Lin looked at the child's deer-like wet eyes, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.Waving to Chesu, he looked at this strange but very close boy.

"What about your empire? You stubborn child." He sighed.

Biting his lip, a trace of guilt and helplessness flashed in Chesu's eyes.

Silently stroking Chesu's head, the old man rambled: "Your mother is my youngest child, and I am the only daughter of your mother. All the sons gave birth to granddaughters. Your mother was pregnant with you earlier. When I was young, I hoped that she would give birth to a little grandson for me to play with, and I have been looking forward to it for many years."

Seeing Chesu's handsome appearance with red lips and white teeth, he sighed deeply: "When you were born, I was also guarding outside the delivery room." Suddenly he gritted his teeth, and the old man must be furious, "Your grandpa, that old immortal, alive and well You hid it and kept our family in the dark! I just want to spit on him!"

Blushing slightly, Chesu smiled bitterly in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer.

"Fortunately, you came back well. If you really died in that empire where birds don't lay eggs, I won't let that old bastard Xie Ruifeng go if I die! Who does he think he is, why should he take away my daughter's child? Why should you take my little grandson away?..." Before he could catch his breath, Old Man Lin coughed violently.

Rushing forward in a hurry, he patted his back with his hands, Chesu bit his lips anxiously: "Don't, don't cough too fast, you just got your back!"

Satisfied with being stroked by him, Mr. Lin's eyes sparkled like a child: "Little Su is so filial and obedient."

Looking at Chesu cautiously, his tone seemed to lure a lost child: "Come on, call grandpa to listen?..."

Sitting next to him at a loss, Chesu stared blankly at the old man's old face, her bloodless lips trembling slightly.

After waiting for a long time, the old man's old face collapsed.

"Your mother told me not to force you. Hey..." Mr. Lin looked at Chesu sadly, "She told us to give you some time. But I am 80 years old this year, how much do I have left?" Time can wait?"

Lowering his head, Chesu's eye circles slowly turned red.

"I just chatted with your spy father. He said that when you were in that empire, there was an old professor who was very kind to you and brought you cakes every night. You enjoyed your meal." Old man Lin was sad. Sighing deeply, "Listen, I'm really envious and jealous. If only my little grandson had been by my side since childhood... I would eat whatever Xiaosu likes to eat, and play with whatever Xiaosu likes to play with." If you love research, I'll buy you a mecha, and if you love reading, I'll build a private library for you."

Chesu's eye circles became even redder, and his nostrils twitched slightly.

"The granddaughters at home were all pink and tender when they were young. Every family gathering, the younger generation is full of beautiful flowers. I can look forward to having a mischievous little grandson. Now that I’m retired, it’s great to have a male grandson to play with me! It’s good to drive model airplanes, build building blocks, play with machine guns, just play in mud with him.” Mr. Lin muttered, the more he talked, the more sad he became. .

Chesu was silent for a long time, and finally answered with a forced smile: "My father said, I was very obedient when I was young, and... I wasn't too mischievous."

Stamping his feet vigorously, Mr. Lin was furious: "That's not what happened in a rotten place like the Empire! If you grew up in our family, you wouldn't be pampered!?"

"No, I'm fine over there." Chesu justified in a low voice, and his mind was distracted for a moment.The vague past events flashed like auspicious feathers in front of my eyes.Yes, although there are hardships in life and sudden injuries, what I recall and remember are all warmth and happiness.
