On the way to the meeting, Yang Yi observed that after a night of cleaning, the main roads in the capital no longer affected vehicle traffic, but the broken walls and bloodstains everywhere proved the tragedy of yesterday's battle.

Epidemic prevention personnel wearing special protective clothing transported the fragments of alien organisms to the incinerator.

Several ambulances or fire trucks rushed past on the road from time to time.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner and everything is back on track.

Not long after the meeting started, Yang Yi encountered that problem.

It is easy to explain why the alien creatures in the different space passage will be sucked dry of life - she is the only one in the different world, there are no witnesses, all the right to explain belongs to her, she can explain it how she wants, even if She said she didn't know and no one would dare to embarrass her.

However, if you do this, you are undoubtedly deliberately creating a gap between yourself and others.

"... There were too many alien creatures there and they were too dangerous. I couldn't find the space device right away, so I touched the altar of the evil god in another world..." Yang Yi said with a calm expression while sitting in a secret conference room.

Attendees included senior officials from the Bureau of Sensory Administration, the Institute of Dark Matter and Astronomy, the Institute for the Prevention and Control of Alien Organisms, the Institute of Dark Matter and Sensory Energy, senior military and police officials, and central decision-makers, among others.

"We have recently separated the 'Evil God Special Research Group' to study this evil god and the altar. We are currently encountering difficulties in the operating principle of the altar... Only Captain Yang has personally approached the altar. We would like to ask Captain Yang to move back." Drive to our place and give us guidance on our work..." said Director Liu of the Institute of Dark Matter and Astronomy.

Who wrote an essay when they were young, and when they wrote about my ideal, it was not to be a scientist? But now, a group of top scientists were so respectful to her. Yang Yi felt a little flattered and said quickly: "Then let's make an appointment and I will definitely cooperate."

Yang Yi's attitude relaxed the originally serious and tense meeting, and the expressions on the faces of the participants became more relaxed.

Yang Yi suddenly realized that the atmosphere in the meeting had been tense because she had been expressionless since the beginning of the meeting, and everyone was nervous because of this.

And because she wanted to distance herself from the relationship with the evil god, she was somewhat resistant to this meeting, so she had a gloomy look on her face.

As the atmosphere in the conference room changed, it was only at this moment that she had a true understanding of her influence.

She looked around, looking at the conference room where the top figures in the entire Xia Kingdom were gathered. These big figures who were just out of reach two months ago were so overwhelmed just because of her look on her face. She couldn't help but laugh at herself.

After the faint satisfaction faded, a deeper loneliness slowly crept into her heart.

In the subsequent meeting, she deliberately relaxed her expression.

During a break in the meeting, she turned on her silent phone and found a new message from Chris.

"God, please tell me you're okay."

Yang Yi rubbed his eyebrows and replied, "I'm fine."

She didn't know why, but before entering the different space, she thought it would be better if she went to see him earlier. But now, she wasn't so anxious to see him again.

Even receiving new messages from him was not as joyful as before. It was as if she had been saving money to buy a coat that she had been dreaming of for a long time. But when the coat arrived, she found that she was not as happy as she had imagined.

The most exciting time is the time when you are almost saving enough money.

Is this the same thing with this orange-flavored candy that I have longed for in childhood, this sapphire that I have longed for?

Yang Yi couldn't help but spit on herself. As if to prove that she was not so heartless, she immediately added another sentence, "I'm very busy now. I'll see you tonight!"

The next meeting was about to begin. As soon as she stood up, a new message from Chen Huanyue was sent.

"Yang Yi, is everything okay?"

Yang Yi casually replied "Yeah", put his phone in his pocket and entered the conference room.

"I want to be discharged from the hospital! Immediately!" Chris called his assistant John. "Arrange a private plane for me in the afternoon. I want to go home."

"Home? Which one are you talking about?" John was a little confused by the sudden call.

"L.A.-Beaver Hills."

"But your doctor said you have to stay in the hospital for at least half a month..." John said in confusion: "And now the whole Beaver Hills is filled with bullet fragments and monster limbs falling from the sky..."

"Then spend money to clean it up. I don't care how much it costs. It must be cleaned up before evening!"

"Why are you so anxious... Oh -" John suddenly understood, and then lowered his voice and said: "She is coming over tonight, right?"

Chris couldn't help lowering his voice, "Don't say anything about her."

"Understood, I'll have the private jet ready immediately."

Since the different space channel was closed yesterday, those security guards with familiar faces have disappeared. Chris doesn't know if anyone is watching him at the moment - he believes that they don't dare to appear around Yang Yi, and it is possible that they have already withdrawn. .

The discharge procedures were completed quickly. His mother, Mary, sternly opposed his discharge, but she let him go after he vowed to continue treatment after returning to Los Angeles.

Asking the bodyguard to take his mother to his sister's house, he immediately changed his clothes and prepared to go back.

While waiting for the private plane, he was restless, and the content of Yang Yi's text message made him full of anxiety and anticipation - he had not seen her for 23 days, which felt almost like a lifetime.

He unconsciously walked to the mirror and observed himself carefully: he had lost a lot of weight, his cheeks were a little sunken, his beard had sprouted, and the toned figure that she had admired with her eyes many times had also lost a lot of weight.

Will she be disappointed when she sees me like this? It must be, after all, she was attracted by his appearance and figure in the first place, not anything else, something more intrinsic.

He was almost annoyed.

He frowned and took the razor, feeling confused.

He felt that he was controlled by her. All his thoughts and thoughts were on her, and he almost lost himself.

He felt like a runaway train, deviating from the established track and hurtling towards an unpredictable and dangerous direction.

And he was completely unsure of his feelings for her. He had never been 100% sure of his feelings for her: Does she love me? Does she really care about me? Is there really a future between them? ...Everything is unknown.

They had not been together for a long time, less than two months, during which they had been together less and more apart. During this short period of time together, her attitude was indifferent, hot and cold. She seemed to like him very much, but she didn't seem to like him. Care about him so much.

Suddenly, the scene of that day resurfaced. Her usually cold face was stained with a faint blush, and her usually calm and deep eyes were a little blurred. She said softly:

"I'm tangled up in your web like a bug. I'm already your prey. Can't you see?"

Yes, she cares about me.

Chris said to himself in his mind.

With this restlessness and expectation, he took a private plane back to Beaver's home at 23:3 in the middle of the night, and it was only around : in the afternoon in Xia Country.

He didn't know what time of night she was talking about, and she was very busy. The things she was busy with must be related to humans and the earth. He didn't want to disturb her again for such a trivial matter.

So, he took a shower, sprayed on citrus perfume, and sat on the sofa in the corridor to wait.

The sky was full of stars, not even a cloud was visible, and the Milky Way shone with a large swath of light, making the night clear.

In such a quiet night and such a calm sky, Chris was in a trance, and he felt that the passage to another space opening up and monsters raging the day before yesterday seemed like a dream.

He fell asleep unconsciously and dreamed of the day his father left when he was a child.

He was only six years old at the time. His mother was a theater manager, his father was a high school football coach, and his sister went to the same elementary school as him. They lived a peaceful and warm life as a family of four.

But one day, his father suddenly filed for divorce and he fell in love with the school's new math teacher.

It was a beautiful spring day, the sun was shining brightly and everything was flourishing.

Because he refused to forgive his father, he hid in the bedroom on the second floor and refused to send him away. Downstairs, my father loaded the packed luggage into the car.

"Chris..." his father shouted.

He hid behind the curtain and secretly looked at his father. His father stood under his window and hesitated for a long time. "I'm sorry, son," he said, then started the car and left.

He still remembered the scene at that time. His father was driving a black pickup truck. The pink roses on the fence next to him were in full bloom, with petals falling all over the lawn...

"Don't go..." he finally said.

A hand was placed on his forehead, and a cool and gentle response came from beside him: "I'm here..."

He opened his eyes and found that he was lying on the bed in the bedroom, and Yang Yi was lying next to him, supporting his head with his right arm and looking at him quietly.

"When did you come?" He sat up immediately.

The sky outside the window turned white, and the night was almost over.

"Just got here." Yang Yi said, her brows furrowing slightly, "Have you been waiting outside all night?"

Chris suddenly felt that his behavior was a bit silly and meant to gain sympathy or affection, so he immediately denied it: "No... I just... just..."

However, in the slightly raised smile at the corner of her mouth, he couldn't think of any good excuse for a moment.

Yang Yi held his face, kissed his eyes gently, and then kissed his lips.

After a long while, she stared at him: "You have lost a lot of weight..."

In this water-like gaze, all the anxiety in Chris's heart calmed down instantly.

And at this moment, a thought flashed through his mind like a meteor: If one day, she leaves...
