After being captured by the old enemy

Cathy's long brown curly hair was a little frizzy, and her head was bowed down.

It took a long time before she raised her head, her eyes were red.

For a moment, Ji Xingjue keenly caught the fleeting hatred in the girl's eyes, and she called out hoarsely, "Professor Ji."

At that time, did Qi Qing see him in the same way?

A vague thought flashed through Ji Xingjue's mind, and he immediately came to a conclusion: I don't know.

At that time, he didn't dare to look into Qi Qing's eyes because of guilt.

Cathy asked softly, "Professor, was it true that Senior Ise was hijacked by the Star Thief, did something happen unexpectedly?"

Ji Xingjue's voice was gentle, comforting her: "Cathy, Esther died for other talents, he is a hero."

"Is he really... a hero?" Kathy murmured.

Ji Xingjue was silent for a while: "The empire will posthumously award him a medal."

Cathy nodded, stared blankly at Ji Xingjue's ring-wearing finger for a while, and then slowly said, "I heard that Senior Iser lives in your dormitory, can I go and have a look?"

Ji Xingjue nodded: "I'll talk to the supervisor, you go."

Seeing the girl's back gradually drifting away, he closed his eyes slightly, turned and walked towards the laboratory building.

Cicely was waiting by the door of the laboratory, with a slender lady's cigarette between her fingers, she took a puff skillfully, and exhaled a thin white mist. When she saw Ji Xingjue, she glanced sideways: "I guess you will Come here, did you see the news?"

Ji Xingjue hummed.

"This child... oh, it's a pity." Cicely hesitated for a while before saying something, "Don't be too sad."

Ji Xingjue was made uncomfortable by the smoke, tilted his head and coughed a few times, avoided the side, and pointed to the no-smoking sign beside her head: "If you put out the smoke, I won't be so sad."

"Tsk, squeamish Mrs. Marshal."

Ji Xingjue pushed open the door expressionlessly, and decided to establish a rule for the next meeting, stay away from Song Mei, and avoid mental pollution.

Others in the lab were also discussing Iser.

"Esther... When he came to the lab to help him, he always felt that I was the one who should help him," a researcher sighed, "It's a pity."

Seeing Ji Xingjue, everyone fell silent tacitly, wanting to comfort him, but afraid that talking too much would make people sad.

After all, it is Ji Xingjue, the mentor who values ​​Yiser the most.

Ji Xingjue waved his hand: "Everyone, do your own thing."

With a calm face, he returned to his seat, turned on the optical brain to read the chip, and continued to do his own thing as usual.

The newcomer from the fourth galaxy couldn't help but secretly asked the people around him: "Has Professor Ji always been so calm?"

The researcher next to him had candy in his mouth, and he was used to it: "Professor Ji, except for the day when Marshal Qi returned to the imperial capital, it has always been like this."

The newcomer was speechless: "But this, isn't it too cold? That's his student."

The researcher was stunned for a moment, bit the candy in his mouth, looked at Ji Xingjue again, and thought for a while: "Let's also learn a little bit, to do scientific research is to have a good attitude."

Ji Xingjue stayed at school all day in a good mood, and was the last one to leave at night as usual.

When I met Cathy today, he didn't want to meet Qi Qing psychologically. He planned to drive to the base to sleep for a night, and then went back to school tomorrow.

As a result, as soon as I got downstairs, I saw the familiar car.

Damel stood upright by the car door and opened it politely: "Madam, the Marshal asked me to pick you up."

Ji Xingjue discussed with him: "Can you pretend you didn't see me?"

"No."

"why?"

Damel whispered, "Because the marshal is in the car."

"..."

see hell.

Ji Xingjue got into the car, and sure enough, he saw Qi Qing sitting in the back row, closing his eyes and resting his mind. He dawdled for a while, and was about to sit in the seat farthest from him.

Unexpectedly, Qi Qing seemed to have a third eye, and suddenly said: "Come here."

Ji Xingjue reluctantly walked over and sat across from him: "Marshal, are you free today?"

Qi Qing's eyes were black and blue, she pinched the tip of her eyebrows, and when she opened her eyes, her voice was a little hoarse: "Ji Xingjue, don't you have a conscience?"

"What I mean is," Ji Xingjue followed suit, "You are so tired, why do you still come to school to block me? It would be nice to go home and rest."

Qi Qing said coldly: "Eggy didn't see you for a few days, thought you left again, every day from the time I entered the door until I left, I kept asking me where you were."

Ji Xingjue: "..."

How can you make him look like a scumbag who abandoned his wife and son?

Dammel sat in front pretending to be deaf and dumb, watching the picture on the light screen intently, and suddenly called out: "Marshal, there are people at the door."

Ji Xingjue subconsciously looked at the light screen.

The light screen is connected to the security system of the Marshal's Mansion. In the monitor, there are several people waiting at the door. The leader is the second prince Deen, the elder brother of the third prince Harlem.

Ji Xingjue knew what was going on at a glance, and smiled with his elbow resting on his chin: "Ever since the eldest prince was unfortunately killed while patrolling the border, His Majesty has never expressed his intention to establish a crown prince. It seems that the second prince is very motivated, and the Marshal is quite welcome."

Qi Qing ordered without any disturbance: "Bypass."

Ji Xingjue raised his eyebrows curiously: "Bypass? It doesn't seem to fit your style."

"My style of doing things is to do whatever I want." Qi Qing's eyes fell on him, and her tone was light, "I don't want to see troublesome people."

Ji Xingjue deeply understood: "If nobles are used as a unit of measurement for trouble, this prince should be troublesome for tons of nobles."

As if pleased by this wonderful metaphor, Qi Qing curled the corners of her lips, staring at Ji Xingjue, who was sitting or not, but still looking elegant and elegant: "You don't seem to be worried at all."

"Oh?"

"Ji Xingjue, it's best not to let me find out that you left the imperial capital half a year ago," Qi Qing leaned closer, looked into those dark eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Otherwise you might have ten nobles Trouble."

Ji Xingjue blinked, his brows were slightly bent, and the red mole at the end of his eyes was particularly provocative: "Why, I'm a law-abiding citizen."

The suspension car temporarily changed its course in the air, circled the huge marshal's mansion for half a circle, got rid of trouble, entered through the back door, and landed at the door.

As soon as the door opened, Ji Xingjue's legs sank.

The little robot rushed out, hugged Ji Xingjue's leg, and called out "papa" at first. When he sensed something was wrong, he raised his head dully, and seeing that it was Ji Xingjue, his drooping ears brushed the ground. Standing up, I was very surprised: "Mama, you are back! Papa and I miss you so much, we thought you were going to leave for a long time again!"

Qi Qing was talking to Damel, too lazy to correct the phrase "I and Papa".

The little robot was frustrated for a few days, and finally saw Ji Xingjue again, holding his leg tightly and not letting go.

Ji Xingjue walked two steps with difficulty, and discussed with it in a pleasant manner: "Look, you only have 10% of the battery, go and charge it for a while."

The little robot pricked up its ears vigilantly, and hugged it even tighter.

Ji Xingjue: "..."

He has no experience in coaxing children, let alone coaxing robots.

He was speechless for a few seconds, subconsciously looking at Qi Qing for help.

Qi Qing closed the door with her backhand, leaned against the door as if she was watching a play, and met Ji Xingjue's eyes asking for help - those eyes seemed to have some magical power, shimmering when she smiled, and now they were like a wave of soft water, it was hard to bear reject.

He paused for a moment, laughed at himself in his heart, "It's really useless", walked over and squatted down, touched the ear of the little robot: "Isn't this back?"

The little robot still hugged Ji Xingjue's leg and refused to let it go: "papa."

On the contrary, Qi Qing had a lot of patience when dealing with the silly little robot, and hummed flatly: "I will bring you back no matter how far I run, let go."

"Hmm! Papa, mama, see you later." The little robot rubbed Ji Xingjue's trouser legs attached, let go obediently, turned around three times a step, and wobbled to find the charging port.

Qi Qing clicked her tongue in disgust: "Like a clingy puppy, who exactly is the character prototype you set?"

Ji Xingjue: "..."

This is a sending proposition.

He clenched his fist, put it on his chin, and coughed lightly: "Forgot."

Fortunately, Qi Qing was not obsessed with asking this question, entered the room, and spoke first: "After comparison, the starship fragments do contain the biological information of Esther Lester."

"So Iser's suspicion is cleared?"

"It's too beautiful to think," Qi Qing raised her eyebrows slightly, "Did you send someone to your dormitory today?"

Ji Xingjue nodded: "What's the matter? That little girl is Iser's suitor and wants to see where Iser lived before he died." After a pause, he shook his head, "But Iser didn't leave anything of her own, she It’s a waste of time to go.”

"Not necessarily." Qi Qing said, "She took pictures in the dormitory."

Ji Xingjue's eyebrows twitched, and a trace of uneasiness suddenly surged in his heart. He smiled and teased: "Master Marshal, you seem to be very sensitive to everything."

Qi Qing narrowed her eyes: "What are you hiding?"

Ji Xingjue spread his hands innocently: "I'm just a poor researcher and a teacher of the people, what secrets can I have?"

The two confronted each other for a few seconds, and Qi Qing's terminal suddenly rang.

He didn't avoid Ji Xingjue, and directly chose to connect.

Damel, who had just left a few minutes ago, had a strange expression on his face, and he spoke quickly: "Marshal, I saw people from the Imperial City Police Department go to your house. What happened, do you need me to come over immediately?"

Before Qi Qing could reply, the doorbell rang.

The video on the monitor was projected in front of the two of them. The tall man in police uniform was holding a search warrant. He obviously knew that someone was watching, and put his hand on his chest politely: "Good evening, Marshal, please excuse me. Excuse me. Is Ji Xingjue here?"

A layer of frost-like coldness instantly condensed between Qi Qing's brows.

He ignored the man, turned to Damel and said, "Go back to the military headquarters immediately and find General Rand."

After speaking, he connected to the surveillance voice and responded coldly: "In the middle of the night, what's your business doing looking for my wife?"

The man was obviously confused by this title, and he got stuck before he continued: "The Imperial Capital Police Department received an anonymous report that Ji Xingjue was suspected of murdering Esther Lester. Please come with us."

Xiao Ji: You make me look like a scumbag who abandoned his wife and son...

Xiao Qi & Little Robot: You are!
