you are deep in the stars

Mr. Wang drove the car straight home.

The agreed-upon meal became a home-cooked meal again, and Liu Chunchun, wearing an apron, stood by the pot and concentrated on frying the meatballs.The golden and plump meat balls rolled up and down in the boiling oil, exuding a charming aroma, which aroused Mr. Wang and the neighbor's Ami to feel itchy together, but the behavior of each person and cat was surprisingly the same, they were all arrogant And reserved, one is lying in the den with its tail curled up, and the other is standing at the door of the kitchen, like a static ancient Greek statue.

The meatballs were deep-fried first and then crispy. After they were fully cooked, Liu Chunchun hooked his fingers and said, "Come in."

Wang Yuanchen put down the cold coffee cup in his hand, walked over with a solemn expression, and opened his mouth before the meatball was handed over.

Liu Chunchun blew it, carefully fed it into his mouth, and then asked, "It's really hard to eat, isn't it?"

Crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, with plenty of juice, the tip of the tongue and teeth have been greatly enjoyed.Wang Yuanchen nodded: "Well, it's unpalatable."

Liu Chunchun smiled and gave him a small bowl, and went to do other dishes by himself.There is a row of cartoon Ultraman on the kitchen window sill, which is a small ornament he bought online after learning Bai Xi's identity, but Mr. Wang strongly dislikes him, and he is not even allowed to put it in the guest bedroom. In the end, I had to wrong these superheroes who saved the earth, and temporarily squatted in the kitchen, working with the range hood every day.

Wang Yuanchen asked, "Which one is me?"

Liu Chunchun turned around: "Huh?"

"There are three," Wang Yuanchen pointed to the row of Ultraman, "Is there not me?"

"Well..." When Liu Chunchun was shopping, he didn't have such a profound meaning, simply because of the three sets of one, but since Mr. Wang specifically asked, he said witty and sensible: "Without you, you Looks better than any of these."

Wang Yuanchen disdained: "Chick."

"It's true." Liu Chunchun continued to lower his head to cut vegetables, "I didn't lie to you." He couldn't help laughing as he spoke, feeling that this kind of conversation was really childish.Wang Yuanchen walked up to him leisurely, stretched out his hand and poked the waist wrapped in plush home clothes.

The white mist, the smiling faces and hearts sketched on the glass, the smell of food, Ultraman on the windowsill, and two busy people—one is busy making, the other is busy eating.All of these add up to the most tender picture in winter.

Wang Yuanchen was very satisfied with all this. Of course, he would be even more satisfied if he did not receive a call from Han Zhuo the next morning.

"When I go to the laboratory, Xiaobai will stay with you temporarily." Han Zhuo said, "Contact Daisy at any time if you have any questions."

"Are you sure you want to go?" Wang Yuanchen asked irritably, "Why did you compromise with that bastard?"

"Because I have to ensure Zhou Jing's safety first." Han Zhuo said, "She is innocent and has a special status."

"Your backing down will only make him push forward even more." Wang Yuanchen reminded, "At least let your blood carry some interferon."

"Shi Tian is not so easy to deceive, and I don't want any accidents in this matter." Han Zhuo shook his head.

"What about after that?" Wang Yuanchen asked, "Have you been coerced by him all this time?"

Han Zhuo didn't answer.

In this long and depressing silence, Wang Yuanchen sighed, and finally showed kindness, and put away his sharp tone: "Be careful yourself."

Han Zhuo nodded: "Thank you."

When he hung up the phone, Bai Xi was waiting behind him with his coat in his arms. He squinted his eyes with a smile, as if he didn't hear the content of the conversation just now.

"Aren't you going to comfort me?" Han Zhuo took the clothes from him, and pulled him into his arms with the other hand.

"It's okay." Bai Xi said, "I will support whatever decision you make, and the future will be long."

Han Zhuo smiled and lowered his head to press a kiss on his forehead.

From Friday to Saturday, time flies almost by an instant.

Han Zhuo drove to what Shi Tian said was the "old place", which was a laboratory hidden in the city center. Outside, there were a lot of customers selling Internet celebrity coffee, and further down, it was a terrifying and silent white prison.

The fingerprint lock at the door has not been changed, and Han Zhuo has a smooth journey. When the employees in the laboratory saw him, they were not surprised at all, but would bow their heads and call "Mr. Han" as before.

Time seems to be frozen here. Familiar scenes, familiar people, and familiar voices are all waking up familiar memories before. No matter how pungent the medicine is, it can't cover up the blood in the air. disgust.

In the apartment on the other side, Liu Chunchun was making coffee in the kitchen. He glanced at the living room and asked Wang Yuanchen worriedly, "Brother Bai, are you okay?"

"Who do you think he is, a miserable girl or the protagonist of a Korean drama?" Wang Yuanchen licked the biscuit crumbs on his fingers, "Of course nothing will happen."

"At least you will be in a bad mood, right?" Wang Yuanchen took the bread out of the oven, "Although I don't know about your Ultraman, it is obvious that the power of evil monsters is much stronger at present." Because even the legendary Han Zhuodu could only be forced to compromise.

"It's been like this for many years." Wang Yuanchen said, "Actually, Wu Zigang's idea is not wrong. We need the support of the human government. Even if there is only a small force, at least it can make the underground warehouse feel afraid, and it won't be like So arrogant now."

"Is Zhou Yong still playing?" Liu Chunchun asked.

"It's interesting." Wang Yuanchen nodded, "So I don't object to Han Zhuo exchanging a tube of blood for Zhou Jing. Although it sounds like a failure, it's not a loss-making business."

"Yes." Liu Chunchun took out the jam, wanting to make Bai Xi feel better, so he carefully drew a heart on the freshly baked bread.

Wang Yuanchen said, "I don't eat strawberry jam."

"I know you don't eat it, Brother Bai likes it." Liu Chunchun passed the plate over, "Take it to the living room."

Wang Yuanchen was slightly dissatisfied, he said proudly: "I suddenly want to eat strawberry jam again."

"Then you can eat it." Liu Chunchun wiped his hands, anyway, there are many on a plate, you can eat whatever you want.

Mr. Wang was a little displeased that his subtle emotions were not taken care of by the other party, but for the sake of the guests, he still didn't pull his face into a square shape.He took the bread out of the living room and threw one to Bai Xi: "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about Zhou Yong." Bai Xi said, "He's just a deputy director, and according to the information Wu Zigang found, he doesn't have any great background, so after this incident, will he be dismissed? "

"No." Wang Yuanchen wiped the jam on his fingers, "Not only has he not been removed, but he will be promoted soon. I guess it is to appease his daughter's kidnapping."

Bai Xi said unexpectedly, "How do you know this?"

"It's not a big secret. There is an announcement on the website of the Beidou Research Institute." Wang Yuanchen said, "Of course, people will only think that it is researching wheat and rice."

Bai Xi raised her hand to stop it: "Wait a minute, my mind is a little messed up right now."

"It's okay, you can sort it out carefully, I will definitely not disturb you." Wang Yuanchen happily returned to the kitchen and closed the door behind his back.

Liu Chunchun was surprised: "What's wrong?"

"It's your boss," Wang Yuanchen said innocently, "He said he wanted a quiet space."

Yeah?Liu Chunchun comforted him: "Then we'll stay in the kitchen, it's pretty warm here anyway, do you want tea?"

Wang Yuanchen said with satisfaction: "Yes."

Bai Xi tore up a piece of paper and listed them one by one.

Zhou Yong, who has no background, did not return to his hometown like ordinary demobilized soldiers after retiring from the army. Instead, he successfully entered the country's top secret organization and served as the deputy director of the Supernatural Person Research Institute.

His wife is a supernatural person, which was originally a serious violation, but he got a promotion instead.

If it is because his superiors think highly of him, then all this can still be explained, but judging from the information obtained so far, Feng Qi, the deputy director of the research institute and the actual leader in power, is quite disgusted with this veteran who has retired from the army. , and even made several reports, requesting that Zhou Yong be transferred to another place, but in the end there was no follow-up.

So... There should be someone behind Zhou Yong?And that is at least a force that can deter Feng Qi.Thinking of this, Bai Xi's mind suddenly lit up, and he ran over and opened the kitchen door in two or three steps: "I—"

The sound stopped abruptly, because the picture in front of me was slightly shocking.Liu Chunchun was holding pear soup in a spoon, and was blowing it to cool down to feed to the person opposite. Mr. Wang, who was always cold and indifferent, seemed to be enjoying himself at this moment, not only opened his mouth, but also closed his eyes.

"Brother Bai." Seeing him enter the door, Liu Chunchun hurried over with a bowl, "Come here, try it, I made it for you."

Wang Yuanchen leaned lazily on the window sill, with fierce eyes, in order to commemorate the sweet soup that flew away halfway.

"Who is the director of Beidou Research Institute?" Bai Xi asked straight to the point.

"There is only one name known to the outside world, but I guess even the name is fake." Wang Yuanchen replied, "No one knows who it is. He has never appeared in public, and no information can be found."

Bai Xi frowned slightly, so mysterious?

……

Han Zhuo took out a tube of blood from his arm and put it in the tray.

Shi Tian nodded and signaled the experimenter to take the blood to the laboratory. After 10 minutes, the other party sent a message saying that the test results were all normal and there was no interference.

"I'm very glad that you are willing to cooperate. To be honest, I have been worried before that you will inject yourself with some useless drugs in advance." Shi Tian pressed the call button to display a synchronous screen on the screen in front of him. Zhou Jing He was carried on a stretcher and sent to a van all the way.

"In half an hour, this poor girl will return to her home." Shi Tian said, "But I don't want you to meet again in the future, understand?"

"What happened to her skeleton?" Han Zhuo put down his sleeves.

"It's just a common out-of-control supernatural ability. This is related to her mother swallowing a large amount of inhibitory drugs when she was pregnant. To put it plainly, this Miss Zhou is a belated deformity." Shi Tian poured himself a glass of wine, "I have said long ago that there is no need for Lao Zhou's shop to exist. Those medicines and juices cannot [-]% ensure the disappearance of the abilities. They will only interfere with our research and give birth to more and more weird fetuses."

"You are the culprit for all this." Han Zhuo stood up and said coldly, "Also, all the supernatural beings know that Lao Zhou didn't fully research the drug without risk, but they still chose Use your own body to gamble, because only in this way can you lose your research value and escape from your pursuers."

"It sounds cruel, but that's how the world is, the strong prey on the weak." Shi Tian handed him a glass of wine and smiled slightly, "When you witness more reality, you will choose to come back here sooner or later. one day."

Han Zhuo turned around and left the laboratory. He hurriedly walked, and soon disappeared into the monitoring of the camera.
