you are deep in the stars

There was a long silence in the room.

Wu Zigang's eyes were red, and his breathing became violent due to the extreme emotional fluctuations. He stared at Daisy intently, as if eager to get her affirmation.

"I agree with your last sentence." Daisy shook off the soot on her fingertips, "All those who voluntarily make sacrifices for race, dreams and salvation are heroes, but it is obvious that Xiaojuan is still In the dark, the reason why she is willing to stay with you is entirely because she wants the child to be born safely and healthily, Dr. Wu, is this what you call 'voluntary'?"

"Because Xiaojuan doesn't trust me very much at the moment, and even still has hostility, so it's not a good time to be honest." Wu Zigang said, "I need to let her calm down first."

Daisy tutted: "No wonder you have thought hard to find someone your daughter trusts the most, and you want me to be a lobbyist?"

Wu Zigang did not deny it, he said: "At least you can make Xiaojuan feel more at ease and trust me more."

"Have you talked to Xiaojuan about me?" Daisy asked suddenly.

Wu Zigang shook his head: "Never."

"Then let me tell you." Daisy looked into his eyes, "Your daughter doesn't even know who I am, let alone who my son is. From the beginning until now, she always thought I was just an ordinary Human lawyer, understand?"

Hearing what she said, Wu Zigang really frowned, he couldn't believe it: "But——"

"But when she was most helpless, she chose to call me, an ordinary person." Daisy interrupted his doubts, "That's because she just wanted to ask me to visit her adoptive parents, too. Because she only has me as a so-called 'friend'."

Before the age of 23, Zhao Xiaojuan may have had many good sisters like other ordinary girls, but after the appearance of the supernatural power, everything changed.The uncontrolled supernatural phenomenon made her whole being shrouded in dark clouds, anxious, panicked, suspicious, at a loss, and wished to stay away from everyone in the world.

"How important is this child to you?" Daisy asked.

"Very important." Wu Zigang's voice was hoarse, and his mood seemed to be a little lower than before, but he continued, "I got news that Huang Jingyuan conducted a lot of experiments on Xiaojuan, the most important purpose of which was for this child, so once When the child is born, he is our perfect living sample to demonstrate the research results of the underground warehouse."

Daisy just shook her head. She sighed and said, "Your daughter is so pitiful."

The muscles on Wu Zigang's face were stiff and throbbing, as if he was becoming angry from embarrassment, and he seemed to want to refute.

"In addition to your ambition and conspiracy, think about your daughter, she is really unfortunate." At this point in the conversation, Daisy finally let go of the sarcasm and contempt in her tone, and became sincere and sharp, "I I don’t deny that she may be willing to give birth to a child and make great sacrifices for you and all the supernatural beings on this planet, but this is too cruel, Dr. Wu, she has already suffered all kinds of violence and abuse, and her spirit has also been damaged. On the verge of collapse, you are still deceiving her with lies, making her full of expectations and joy, waiting for the birth of a new life, but in fact, no one knows better than you what will be waiting for her ten months later , as a father, do you really have the heart to treat your own daughter like this?"

Wu Zigang didn't answer her question. With a blank face, he rolled up the documents on the table and stood up: "I hope you can seriously consider our cooperation, which is very important to supernatural beings."

"I also hope that you can seriously consider and let Xiaojuan go, or at least tell her the truth and let her choose." Daisy said, "She is a living person, not a tool, and she has no obligation to do something for the future of the race. make any sacrifices."

Wu Zigang walked towards the door with faster steps.

"Give me an answer within a week and tell me your decision, or your daughter's decision." This time, Daisy's voice was clearly tinged with threats, "Otherwise you will definitely regret it, Dr. Wu."

Wu Zigang hesitated for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said: "If there is no cooperation, then none of this has anything to do with you, madam, please don't meddle in your own business."

"You are wrong." Daisy replied to his back, "She is my friend."

Wu Zigang hurriedly opened the door, the sudden cold wind blowing in made his jacket bulge, like a deformed monster.

……

Later, Han Zhuo told Bai Xi about it.

"Will Wu Zigang be threatened?" Bai Xi frowned, "He sounds like a lunatic, the kind who is willing to risk everything for his so-called dream."

"Threats from others may be useless, but with Daisy and me, he should think about it carefully." Han Zhuo said, "Let's see in a week."

"What about Huang Jingyuan and the Zhao family, how is it going?" Bai Xi continued to ask.

"Huang Jingyuan is still looking for someone. The Zhao family is safe for the time being. After all, they have nothing to do with Zhao Xiaojuan's disappearance. Huang Jingyuan will not be so stupid as to vent his anger on them and make trouble for himself." Han Zhuo said, "Don't worry. "

"What are these?" Bai Xi pointed to the documents in his hand again.

"About Wu Zigang and his Institute of Supernatural Beings." Han Zhuo handed it over, "Do you want to see it?"

Bai Xi nodded.

Wu Zigang's research institute did not have an official name, because it was originally located in a university, so it was called the "third laboratory". According to the records in the document, many volunteers really joined, the name alone There are two full pages listed.

"Replace the location of the underground warehouse and cooperate with the human government to obtain the support of funds, technology and venues to send signals to outer space. Is it that simple?" Bai Xi closed the folder and said doubtfully, "But for so many years, human beings have been I never stopped exploring the outer space, but I didn’t get any response.”

Han Zhuo smiled: "How do you know it's true, not a lie from the government and scientists?"

Bai Xi opened her eyes wide.

"The future envisioned by Wu Zigang may not necessarily be a fantasy, and he is indeed capable, which is undeniable." Han Zhuo said, "So maybe one day, all this will really come true."

Bai Xi said in surprise: "You mean, it won't be long before the supernatural beings may really be able to leave the earth and return to their hometown?"

Han Zhuo nodded.

Bai Xi paused for a moment before asking again: "Does that include you?"

Han Zhuo said, "You don't want me to go?"

Of course not!Bai Xi thought to himself, this kind of question is simply meaningless.

"It may be a long time later." Han Zhuo leaned on his desk and smiled gently, "In short, at least for these three years, I will always stay by your side."

Bai Xi dropped the pen in her hand, not in the mood to continue working.

"Am I making you angry again?" Han Zhuo observed carefully for a while, then stretched out his hand like he usually does, and asked, "Do you want corporal punishment?"

"No." Bai Xi refused.

"Then what can I do to make you feel better?" Mr. Han asked with a friendly attitude.

Bai Xi supported her head with one hand, and hummed a single syllable with a strong nasal voice.

do not know.

Han Zhuo had no choice but to rely on himself. He made a very sad expression to think, and after a full 5 minutes, he sneezed more than a dozen times in one breath.

Bai Xi: "..."

"Sorry." Han Zhuo took the tissue box on the table, "I didn't mean to."

"Isn't it just an act?" Bai Xi took a closer look, her red nose and the mist in her eyes did not seem to be acting.

So he was slightly worried and nervous, because Han Zhuo had said before that he seldom gets sick or gets drunk.

"I don't have a fever." Mr. Han said.

"Don't talk." Bai Xi stopped him, and continued to press his palm on his forehead, but it didn't feel hot.

"You continue to work, I'll go to the lounge." Han Zhuo stood up, "Get off work in an hour, is that okay?"

Bai Xi nodded perfunctorily, and immediately called Daisy after he left.

"Oh, sneezing? It's really serious." Daisy was standing in front of the mirror, trying on the latest jewelry, but her voice was panicked, "I might not be able to explain it clearly on the phone. Chat. By the way, please don't tell my pale, fragile, and pitiful weak son about my meeting with you."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Xi undoubtedly became more nervous. He diverted his thoughts and ran all the way. In addition to poisoning the underground warehouse, he also guessed whether it was the earth's deteriorating ecological environment and the sporadic smog in the city. , so that the alien's invincible physique finally changed?

It's like the prelude to a doomsday disaster movie.

It took another full half an hour before Daisy eluded her son and crept into the office.

Bai Xi said, "Auntie—"

"Hush, don't make a sound, let me guess." Daisy put her finger on her mouth, "Have you ever watched a movie, as long as the male lead from an alien kisses the girl he loves, he will have a fever ?”

Bai Xi shook her head and said, "I didn't see it."

Immediately afterwards, she was extremely shocked: "So he kissed someone else?!"

Daisy: "..."

However, Bai Xi was still immersed in the deep chaos, and he couldn't extricate himself for a moment. He tried desperately to recall, when and when was it possible for this kiss to happen.

In the deathly silence of the office, Daisy watched him carefully for five minutes, and finally had to admit with dismay that some of the pictures in her imagination didn't seem to really happen.

So she had no choice but to pat Bai Xi's hand, and said lovingly: "This is just a movie, the plot is purely fictitious, I'm just saying it casually, don't take it to heart."

Bai Xi didn't believe it: "Really?"

"Of course it is true." Daisy replied, "The weather has been very dry recently, he may be a little angry, drink more water and he will be fine."

But Bai Xi was still worried, he emphasized: "But you were on the phone just now, and you were clearly in a hurry."

Daisy fell into a long silence upon hearing this.

Is it, I don't remember.

Bai Xi asked again: "So about kissing—"

"That's really nothing to do with it." Daisy interrupted him, and said meaningfully, "If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself."

This time it was Bai Xi's turn to be silent.

This kind of thing.

I'd better not try it.
