Chapter 44

The two stayed on the bed for a while, until the electronic watch on Lu Ze's wrist beeped twice, indicating that it was already 8 o'clock, and he sat up lazily from the bed.

Ling Qian was still a little confused, opened his eyes half-opened and said, "It's time to go back?"

Looking at him, Lu Ze felt a little provocative and soft-hearted, bent down and kissed him on the forehead: "Well, I exchanged some information with an informant last night, and I have to go back to the restaurant today to wait for the news."

Hearing this, Ling Qian opened his eyes, rubbed his eyebrows and sat up: "Is that the manager?"

Lu Ze let out a "huh": "In special times, especially when 'Ash' has been sacrificed, and the other party has not revealed any clues, I always feel uneasy."

Ling Qian grabbed the T-shirt next to him and put it on, and seemed to think of something: "Speaking of which, I always feel that something was wrong last night."

"It's not quite right." Lu Ze's tone was a little sour, obviously remembering an inappropriate kiss.

Ling Qian was both amused and helpless: "My glass of wine was made by her."

Lu Ze looked at him: "I thought you were quite vigilant."

Ling Qian looked at this man's sour expression, and felt that he almost put the words "come and coax me" on his forehead.

He leaned forward and precisely kissed the corner of Lu Ze's lips: "Oh, so sour?"

Lu Ze tried his best to keep his face sullen, and said straightforwardly: "I haven't kissed you yet, how can I let others take such a big advantage?!"

Ling Qian's lips were still sticking to the corners of Lu Ze's lips, and his eyes were bent: "Oh? No?"

Lu Ze seemed to have finally remembered something in his suggestive whisper, and finally showed a satisfied smile on his face: "If it must be calculated like this, then I will forcefully not bother with her."

Ling Qian was almost amazed at the level of this man's nose and face, and squinted at him: "Captain Lu, let me remind you, you probably couldn't wear your clothes last night, right?"

Lu Ze seemed to have thought of something, his old face blushed rarely, and he touched his nose: "It's true, I asked the waiter to bring a new one over. You go wash up first."

When Ling Qian came out of the bathroom, Lu Ze had already changed into clean clothes. The shirt was obviously too short for him, so he simply rolled up his sleeves to his forearms, revealing his strong and strong arms.

The tattoo that was exposed at the Pub last night was only half incomplete, and he was about to wash it off completely.

"I guess this is the 'secret signal' General Shen gave you?" Ling Qian raised his arm and raised his chin.

Lu Ze's voice was a little unclear amid the sound of the faucet: "Well, every time I come to the black market, the people I contact with them are different, they just make some disguises, but those are the only people General Shen can trust. A few. This thing is just a signal for this meeting, they should have their own communication channels."

Although it was a temporary tattoo sticker, the pigment was special. Lu Ze still had a large clump of dark green thorns after washing it under warm water for a long time.

Ling Qian's eyes were thoughtful, and he unconsciously raised his hand to caress her.

Lu Ze glanced at him sideways, and said righteously, "Professor Ling, are you flirting with me?"

Ling Qian: "..."

"I just think this thing looks familiar." He said angrily.

Lu Ze narrowed his eyes: "Familiar? I remember when you saw the rose pattern when you were in the old city, you said you seemed to have seen it somewhere."

Ling Qian frowned: "Yes, I only had a vague impression of the rose picture before, but now I look at the tattoo on your body... I always think that the rose should grow here."

As he spoke, he tapped a spot on Lu Ze's arm, which happened to be where the tip of the original sword was.

Lu Ze's brows also frowned, and he pressed down on Ling Qian's fingers: "Here...was originally a sword."

"Is this something given to you by General Shen?"

Lu Ze nodded.

Ling Qian's eyes wandered for a moment, as if he was remembering something, as if he didn't notice at all that the man in front of him was holding his hand and continuing to wash the tattoo, and he didn't forget to pinch his finger by the way.

"If I've seen this pattern, it should be after leaving the nursery. I don't have the impression that there is anything in that place that can be associated with roses and thorns."

Lu Ze said "huh": "I remember you said that you grew up in a kindergarten when you were young, and you met Tang Qing later?"

Ling Qian patted the back of his hand lightly, pulled his hand back, and leaned against the bathroom door with folded arms: "Well, Uncle Tang, who is my senior sister's father, came to the nursery to look for me I was about 13 or 4 years old at the time, and it was the time of rebellion. He said that he was an old friend of my mother's life.

"When my parents died in that accident, I had just turned 5 years old, and there were no relatives like grandparents at home, so I went to the nursery as a matter of course. Living there for nearly ten years made me a little... How should I put it, it's not easy to trust others, let alone this uncle who appeared out of nowhere, of course I didn't go with him.

"Uncle Tang didn't force me. He asked me to stay in the nursery for another year. When he came to see me for the second time, he brought my senior sister along."

There was a smile in Ling Qian's voice.

Lu Ze keenly heard other meanings, turned his face away, and raised his eyebrows: "Why, it was love at first sight?"

Ling Qian looked at him, the corners of his mouth widened, and he changed his posture: "That's right, my senior sister is only one year older than me, and she was at her most lively when she was 16 years old. Everyone I've met is different. That's why I promised Uncle Tang to go back with them."

Lu Ze: "..."

He simply turned off the faucet and strode up to Ling Qian.He was originally slightly taller than Ling Qian, but at this moment he was even more condescending: "Professor Ling, don't you think it's inappropriate to discuss your first love so openly in front of your current boyfriend?"

As he said that, he clasped the man's chin and kissed him, and he still bit the corner of Ling Qian's mouth lightly as if punishing him.

Ling Qian couldn't help laughing between kisses: "When did I say she was my first love?"

Their foreheads touched, Lu Ze looked straight into his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Concentrate."

Ling Qian closed his eyes, but he couldn't stop the smile on his lips.

After the kiss was over, Lu Ze held Ling Qian's waist with one hand: "And then?"

Ling Qian blinked deliberately: "Then... well, then I entered the Institute of Biology, then the virus broke out, and then I met you."

Lu Ze squeezed his waist: "So simple?"

Ling Qian hid with a smile: "It's not simple. If I hadn't met you, maybe this and then I died in the old city, no matter if I was infected or for some other reason. Since I met you at that time, everything after It's the same."

The corners of Lu Ze's lips also curled up: "Why didn't I go to the old city earlier."

Ling Qian raised his head and kissed him on the cheek: "Just right."

Lu Ze wrapped his arms around him, put his chin on his shoulder, and said after a while: "So, if you really saw that pattern, it should be at Tang Qing's house?"

Ling Qian hesitated for a moment: "I'm not sure, after all, it's been more than ten years. I just have a vague feeling." After a pause, he seemed to have thought of something: "You said the 'signature' of this tattoo is Shen The general gave it to you, is it possible...they actually know each other?"

Lu Ze straightened up, his face became serious: "You mean Tang Qing's father and General Shen?"

Ling Qian nodded: "Perhaps including my mother."

Lu Ze thought for a while: "I'm not sure, he never mentioned any personal matters about Tang Qing in front of me, and it seems that their relationship is limited to superiors and subordinates, but this possibility cannot be ruled out from the perspective of age. "

"After you return to the base, you'd better talk to General Shen." Ling Qian said seriously.

Lu Ze nodded: "I'll find a way to arrange it."

Then he raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "It's past 8 o'clock, and it's almost time for us to leave."

There was silence in the corridor outside. At this time, most people here were still asleep. Coupled with the bad weather recently, there was a drowsy atmosphere everywhere.

Lu Ze and Ling Qian went downstairs to the lobby of the nightclub last night.The place was still empty, and after the lights were turned off, only a little dim light came in from the upper windows, and a waiter sat behind the bar and dozed off drowsily.

Hearing the sound of someone coming, he sat up straight from his chair, squinted his eyes at Lu Ze and the others for a while, and spread his fingers expressionlessly: "500 SGD."

Lu Ze took out the banknotes from his wallet and handed them over, looked around casually, and said, "It's pretty deserted here during the day."

"It closes at 5 o'clock, and there is basically no one at 6 o'clock. You are the first ones downstairs.

"Thank you." Lu Ze waved his hand, and walked out the door with Ling Qian in his arms.

Behind him, the waiter stared at the backs of the two for a while, then grabbed a pen next to him, rustled a few words on a sticky note, crumpled it up and threw it into a silver metal trash can outside the bar. .

Although it was already past 8 o'clock, the sky above was still gloomy, and Ling Qian couldn't help shivering as soon as he stepped out of the gate.

Lu Ze took off his coat and put it on him, with a worried look on his face: "It seems that the weather is not normal since we returned to the base."

Ling Qian looked up: "It looks like it will snow these two days."

Lu Ze sighed: "There seems to be nothing that can surprise me now."

The two walked through the intricate alleys for a while, and Ling Qian finally saw the signboard of Laifu Restaurant before being completely dazed.

After a distance, Lu Ze's expression darkened.

Ling Qian also noticed something abnormal around him: it was too quiet.

It feels like everything around is stilled, without the slightest sound, like a carefully laid trap, just waiting for the prey to walk in.

There was already a sneer on Lu Ze's face: "Early in the morning, it's good to exercise your muscles and bones."
