Chapter 381 Selfishness, Choice
It was already eleven o'clock when I returned to Jiaohe City. There were few vehicles on the streets. Under the lights on both sides, there were more people visiting the night market on summer nights. In more than two years after the establishment of the city, Jiaohe City was full of tall buildings. The former Luoxiang Street became a famous pedestrian street and night market. At night, there were a large number of small carts and stalls.
The cool night breeze, the snacks on the roadside, and the people passing by in the smoke, were the only scenery for Xia Yi and others who came out from here.
After eating a few special snacks on the plate, Xia Yi wiped a little oil stain on his fingers and closed the window: "Let's go, I'll take your boss back first."
Jiang Yu next to him blushed and poked him with his hand: "I don't want to stay overnight yet."
Xia Yi leaned back and watched the night view outside the car window slowly move back, and reached out to hold the woman's hand, "I'll sort out some of it these days when I'm back, and you'll just go back to spend time with your uncle and aunt."
"I know, I won't stick to you like a candy. I'm an independent woman in the new era, hum!"
"You have learned to act coquettishly, um?!"
"No..."
He whispered love words all the way, and the fat man in the passenger passenger who heard it turned around, lowered his head from time to time, looked at the black screen of the mobile phone in his hand, put it away and put it in it without saying a word.
When he arrived at the entrance of the community where Jiang Yu's house lived, the fat old man in the gate poked his head out and looked at the license plate. He knew who it was. He smiled and greeted the woman who got out of the car. The latter raised his hand and blinked at Xia Yi in the car window.
"Brother Yi, I'll go up first."
"It's too late, don't let your uncle and aunt wait in a hurry."
"Maybe, I'll go to bed long ago. They knew that I came out with you. If I disappeared, I will definitely find you..."
The two of them talked for a while before they separated. Jiang Yu watched the taillights disappear at the corner of the alley, turned around and returned to the unit, took out the door hole if it had not been inserted, and with a creaking sound, the security door opened with a rusty sound.
The one who opened the door was Xu Qiuhua, wearing long-sleeved pajamas with long-sleeved hair, tied her hair, and the fragrance of shower gel. Pudding stuck out her tongue while she turned around and took slippers on the shoe rack, put them at the door, and shook her tail frantically.
"Auntie, you haven't slept yet?"
Jiang Yu came in and changed into slippers and patted the pudding's head gently. After entering the house, he found that Jiang Jiancheng was not sleeping either. He sat on the sofa, pressed his phone, and heard his daughter's voice. He hurriedly said: "The weather is stuffy, and your aunt is reluctant to turn on the air conditioner, so she has to watch TV to wait for time."
"You try talking nonsense. After playing with your phone for a few days, your ability has gradually increased. Don't want to climb onto my bed tonight." Xu Qiuhua cursed, "You are not going to wait, and I feel uneasy when I don't see Xiaoyu coming back... I think you don't want her to come back."
"Who said no...bah..." Jiang Jiancheng waved his hand: "Dad, that's not what he meant..."
"Dad is really worried that I will spend the night outside?" Jiang Yu tilted his neck and laughed: "Okay, I'm all an adult, not the blind blind girl I used to know nothing. Dad, aunt, it's getting late, hurry up and go to bed. I'll go back to the airport to work in two days. After taking such a long leave, I wonder if Anli will blame me."
"Then go to bed, your dad and I will sit for a while."
When Xu Qiuhua sent Xiaoyu away, Jiang Jiancheng turned his gaze with confusion, "Xiaoyu is back, why are you still sitting here?"
"Take care of you..."
The woman rolled up her cuffs, raised her feet suddenly, took off her slippers, "Tell me clearly what I just said!!" She roared, threw it over and put it on her husband's face...
Listening to the ping-pong movement outside, Xiaoyu had already become accustomed to it, took out her pajamas, went to the bathroom, looked at the ring that reflected the pendant around her neck in the mirror, and remembered her boldness that night in the United States.
"I'm already his..."
I said this lightly, and a blush dyed my cheeks from my neck.
"I don't know what Brother Yi is doing now, have he slept?"
Outside the skylight of the bathroom, the stars paved the Milky Way, and on the other side of the city, we returned to the convoy of Wanfu Community and drove into the garage.
Xia Yicha greeted the fat man who was sorting out the vegetables and fruits he brought back from his hometown, returned to the living room, put on the slippers handed by Sanhua Hemei, walked up the second floor, pushed open the bedroom door, and in the light, his slim back was sitting behind the desk in front of the window, and a lady's cigarette was held between his slender fingers.
With the green smoke lingering, Zhou Jin stood up and hugged Xia Yi who came in, "Boss, why don't you stay for one more night when you go home?"
"Come back and listen to your report." Xia Yi smiled, stretched out her arms, let Youyou take off her coat, and said with a smile: "Are you in good health?"
Then he lit a cigarette and sat down to the position where Zhou Jin had sat before, and looked at some of the company's affairs and fund reports on the days when he was away.
The woman wearing a suit over there walked back: "The body of the psychic, not to mention the psychic, is a third-level psychic. This injury has not healed for half a month, so it is really unqualified."
Sitting on the armrest of the chair beside Xia Yi, she was very close to her. She watched the man turn the paper one by one: "I was in charge of the company during the time you were away. There was no big problem. I often showed it to the fat man. Although he didn't understand this, the money was very tight."
"He really doesn't understand the company's operations, but Deju is more careful than anyone else for money."
Xia Yi did not deny Zhou Jin's words. After reading the above company's reports and putting them aside, he found that there was a cover without any writing below.
"What is this?" Xia Yi frowned, turned the first page, his brows tighter, "Redstone clamping neutralizer?"
The woman beside her was getting tighter. Zhou Jin pulled the bangs on her forehead, took a sip of the cigarette with her scarlet fingertips, her red lips slightly opened, and the smoke floated out with her words.
"Did the boss forget that the research project that Wells started before you went to the United States? For more than a year, he has been busy with experiments day and night, and has invested part of the company's profits, and he bought cheap materials under the relationship of the commuter bureau..."
When Zhou Jin talked about the redstone research, Wells was the biggest contributor in the past year. The research was a bit inhumane at the beginning. After Xia Yi disappeared and went to another world, he joined hands with Zhou Jin to conduct some experiments on the group of redstone infected people he rescued.
Magnetic King Lao Li was very angry about this matter. Since he left the commuter bureau, he has always had knots about unfair treatment. If the electric python hadn't spoken good things on both sides, he would have almost had a frustration about this matter. In the end, Magnetic King moved out and returned to the previous street, opened an electronic game hall, and spent the rest of his time.
However, the development of redstone choke neutralizer has always been Xia Yi's heart disease, and it is also the hope of those redstone infected people who have been rescued and eager to return to society. Many people are even willing to become the target of clinical trials.
Others turn a blind eye to the other and stop interfering and inquire too much.
It was not until Xia Yi came back that Zhou Jin told the whole story.
"......The first batch of patent medicines have been released, and I also sent a few bottles to the research department of the Commuter Bureau, boss! In this way, the redstone infected in our bodies can be removed soon, and I can also become a normal woman... a normal woman..."
Xia Yi looked at the dense content on the report and listened to Zhou Jin repeating the words: "Normal woman.", and hesitated for a moment, and a smile came out from the corner of his mouth: "Well, it's a happy thing. It's getting late. You have to rest in the room first. I want to sort out this matter and take the time to call Magneto. Everyone is a companion, so there is no gap."
"Then... OK, I'll go back to the room first. If the boss needs it, call me anytime."
Seeing the man's gentle smile, Zhou Jin put his face on to be intimate, and then got up and left the room. When he heard the door gently closed, the smile on Xia Yi's face gradually became cold.
Become expressionless.
Holding the report on redstone neutralizer in my hand, I felt a tangled feeling in my heart, "What a difficult multiple-choice question..."
At night, insects chirped in the garden outside. They put down the report figure, pushed open the balcony door, stood outside, and looked at the fat man who was enjoying the cool down. Ma Bang sat there playing games with his handheld machine. The dog girl held a bunch of food and sat on the grass, choosing left and right, and choosing snacks in her hands. Then she was snatched by the red hair of one of the three brothers, spreading her feet and running wildly towards the pavilion.
Xia Yi stood in front of the window and listened to the noisy noise below. She closed her eyes gently, and her heart became irritable. In her suppressed emotions, her hands behind her pinched into fists and made a "crack" sound.
There were some sounds echoing in my mind.
"I'll get married first. I'm still waiting to hold my grandson. If you are a martyr, I don't care about you." My father stood at the entrance of the village, with a urging look on his serious face.
On a night at a certain time, Zhou Jin, who was meeting for the first time, sat in the passenger seat, shrank his legs, smoked a cigarette, looked at the rain curtain outside, and his face was lonely.
"I'm full of poison, blood, sweat, and saliva... If you don't believe it, my boyfriend was poisoned to death by me."
"I really want to be a normal woman..."
The voice circled and dispersed, and Chen Yaozu's words then came again.
"...Xia Yi, if you continue like this, the redstone in your body will spread faster. At that time, you will become a human-shaped redstone and will die. Moreover, if it is passed on to the next generation... unknown changes may occur."
"Unknown changes..."
Looking at the shining Milky Way in the sky, Xia Yi used a murmur that he could only hear, "But my body still has nuclear elements... What should I do if the nuclear elements are cleared out?"
He turned his head and looked at the report on the table: "And... my strength is hard to come by..."
Whispered, he walked to the desk and held the paper in his hand, and the rustling sound made a ball.
