Xiao Hanping was sitting in a box of an ordinary tea restaurant outside the residential area of ​​the underground city.

Opposite him is Xue Yi.

Today's Xue Yi is in a different state from the last time he was in the Hunting League.

He seems to have replenished his energy and returned to the image-conscious Dr. Xue in Xiao Hanping's memory.

After the waiter retreated, the box became quiet again.

Xue Yi sat up first and fiddled with the tea set.

Amidst the crackling sound of porcelain colliding, he glanced at Xiao Hanping: "Although it's presumptuous to say so, you really look like a good friend of mine who passed away."

The two of them knew who this friend was.

Xiao Hanping did not take up this topic.

Seeing this, Xue Yi pursed his lips and smiled.

His eyebrows and eyes are warm, and his tone is soft: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you, I just... When I saw you, I really wanted to know, is there any intimate relationship between you and Xiao Hanping?" Then he added, "Of course, If you don't want to answer, I won't force you."

His question is similar to Zhong Fanglin's suspicion.

Having already experienced it once, Xiao Hanping was not too surprised to hear Xue Yi's words again.

"No."

Xue Yi's pouring hand paused slightly, then moved again: "That's right, I was confused."

Xiao Hanping raised his hand to take the teacup he handed over: "Dr. Xue came here today just to ask me these things?"

Xue Yi's expression suddenly showed two points of apology, as if he was ashamed to disturb Xiao Hanping because of his personal affairs.

"I want to make friends with you."

After speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Hanping, and said seriously, "In the short term, I will stay in the Central Dungeon. No matter what you need, you can come to me."

He is currently one of the top executives in the research institute, and the gold content of this sentence is not small.

But for ordinary people, there are too few places to use the research institute.

Xue Yi may also be aware of this, so he said again: "I heard from Professor Zhong that you have joined the Hunting League now? If necessary, the research institute still has a place to purchase the latest S-series mechs."

The S series, excluding the special mechas tailor-made for operators by top mecha masters, is the highest configuration mecha model that can be purchased in the mainland.

The latest S series is not only limited, but also has strict purchase qualifications.

It is obvious that Xue Yi has a lot of sincerity to give away a quota so easily.

But before Xiao Hanping opened his mouth, the smart bracelet on his wrist suddenly sounded a call notification.

It's Huo Shen.

Xue Yi was very gentleman, and the moment he heard the prompt, he nodded to Xiao Hanping: "I'm going to the bathroom."

Xiao Hanping answered the phone after he closed the door.

Because the answer was still timely, Huo Shen's heart sank with anxiety, and he asked, "Where are you?"

When Xiao Hanping entered the door, he noticed the name of the tea restaurant: "Ziyun Pavilion."

Huo Shen positioned himself on the map with one hand: "I'll go there right away."

"You don't have to come here."

"It is necessary!" Huo Shen walked quickly to the outside of the residential area, "I am worried that you are with Xue Yi."

Xiao Hanping knew that he had deep opinions on Xue Yi, but at this time, it was the most unreasonable for him to appear here: "Calm down and think clearly."

Huo Shen stopped abruptly.

Of course he understood what Xiao Hanping meant.

But Xue Yi's sudden appearance always made him restless.

The more at this time, the more he wanted to be by Xiao Hanping's side.

However, reason came back.

He knows what the best course of action is.

The breathing sound was faithfully transmitted to Xiao Hanping's ears through the earphone microphone.

"Wait for me to go back."

Huo Shen tightened his fingers, and said, "I'll wait for you at the door."

This is his greatest concession.

Xiao Hanping wasn't too surprised by the answer: "It's up to you."

At this time, there was the sound of water in the bathroom.

Xiao Hanping explained and hung up the call.

After Xue Yi came out, he didn't mention the phone call, and just continued the topic just now: "As for the quota, you don't have to rush to give me an answer. You can whenever you need it, and I will arrange it for you as soon as possible."

Xiao Hanping glanced at him.

Xue Yi always knew very well that for a supernatural being, owning a high-performance mecha was much more tempting than other conditions.

Back then in Shuguang, it was Xue Yi who designed and built Xuanfeng himself, and gave it to him.

It's a pity that Xuanfeng crashed with him three years ago, and he probably won't have the chance to operate it again.

"Thank you."

Xue Yi smiled and said, "You're welcome."

He seemed to really hit it off with Xiao Hanping, leaving aside the temptation at the beginning, and the chat afterwards, the atmosphere was always good.

More than 20 minutes later, he accidentally glanced at the time, and exclaimed "ah", "So time flies so fast? It's been half an hour."

For him, taking half an hour to sit with strangers is indeed a luxury.

"Sorry for taking you so long."

Xue Yi lowered his eyes, and his smile faded a lot, "It's my fault. I haven't had such a happy chat with others for a long time, so I forgot everything."

Xiao Hanping looked at Xue Yi, and actually had something to ask in his heart.

For example, how did Xue Yi escape from the tide of alien beasts with an unconscious him?

And why, must he insist on recuperating for him alone in the south?

Huo Shen's suspicion was not completely unreasonable.

When the five major dungeons fell, he also checked the information on the star network after waking up.

In the central area where the mutation broke out, there were very few survivors. According to their after-the-fact narration, it was mostly luck that survived the catastrophe.

Their strength is indeed mostly mediocre.

However, there is no news about Xue Yi in the report on the Xingwang.com about this mutation.

In other words, he never revealed to anyone what happened after surviving.

Why hide it.

Xiao Hanping and Xue Yi looked at each other again.

The light in his eyes was deep, and it was a bottomless black.

What are you hiding.

Facing such eyes, the curve of Xue Yi's lips stiffened slightly.

"It's ok."

Xiao Hanping looked away, and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

Xue Yi followed him up and blurted out, "Wait!"

Xiao Hanping turned to look at him: "Dr. Xue?"

Only then did Xue Yi wake up.

He smiled covertly: "ah, I remembered something wrong. It's all right."

Xiao Hanping didn't say anything.

Xue Yi watched him turn around again, and watched his back walk towards the door, with a smile on his face and deep eyes.

But soon, he also raised his hand to press the table and stood up, walking towards Xiao Hanping.

The two walked to the door side by side.

Xue Yi said to Xiao Hanping, "I'll take you back."

"No need."

Xiao Hanping had already seen Huo Shen's car, "I'm waiting for someone here."

"Wait someone?"

Xue Yi looked in front of the door, his gaze didn't stop, like a subconscious movement, when it fell back on Xiao Hanping's face, he said regretfully, "Okay then, let's break up here."

"Goodbye."

Xue Yi smiled and nodded: "I look forward to seeing you next time."

After the words fell, he didn't stay any longer, turned around and left.

His figure gradually faded away, and at the same time as he turned the corner, an energy vehicle opened the door.

Huo Shen got out of the car and strode towards Xiao Hanping.

He was sullen and seemed out of sorts.

He couldn't even wait to walk in front of Xiao Hanping, before he could stand still, he had already opened his mouth and asked, "Why have you guys chatted for so long?"

His tone was cold.

The mood is not bad.

It looks very bad.

"When we get to the door, you are still reluctant to part. Did you chat with him so speculatively?"

Again, without waiting for Xiao Hanping to answer, he said again, "What did you talk about? What did he ask you? Did he—"

Speaking of this, his voice suddenly froze.

Xiao Hanping was waiting for him to ask more questions, seeing that he stopped suddenly and then looked around, so he asked back: "Why?"

Huo Shen frowned: "Go back to the car and talk about it."

Only then did Xiao Hanping see that he was worried that Xue Yi had some listening devices nearby.

This guess is very untenable.

But obviously, at this time, he would not listen to any suggestions.

Indeed, after returning to the car, Huo Shen turned on the fully enclosed system, ordered the energy car to return the same way, and then continued to look at Xiao Hanping and asked, "Why don't you speak?"

Xiao Hanping said: "I didn't chat with Xue Yi, he, like the teacher, thought that this body had something to do with me."

"What didn't you talk about?" Huo Shen didn't believe it. "Are you sure he didn't test you? Did you show any signs? Did he recognize you?"

Xiao Hanping answered these three questions with one word: "No."

He also had doubts about Xue Yi's visit today, and this doubt was quickly dispelled.

Today's conversation didn't seem deliberate, it was more like Xue Yi's whim.

Huo Shen didn't question Xiao Hanping.

He knew that Xiao Hanping must also be able to detect the strangeness that he could detect.

He just didn't believe that Xue Yi suddenly asked Xiao Hanping out alone without any purpose.

This is impossible.

Xue Yi didn't show any abnormalities in this meeting, was it just a disguise?

Or, was it his previous performance in the league that made Xue Yi discover something?

"what are you worried about?"

Huo Shen raised his eyes suddenly.

Looking at Xiao Hanping, he avoided his eyes again: "Xue Yi is the best at sowing discord, I'm just worried that he will sow discord between you and me."

But this statement makes no sense.

Xiao Hanping didn't say this.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is just Ji Mingfeng now, and even if he and Huo Shen get a little closer, it is not an intimate relationship worth bothering to provoke.

Especially Xue Yi, who only met him and this is the second time.

"You have to keep a distance from him," Huo Shen turned to him again, "We haven't found out the details of that year, and we don't know what he did to you. You can't expose it yet."

On this point, Xiao Hanping doesn't need others to remind him: "Yes."

Hearing his answer, Huo Shen pursed his lips, and pressed what he really wanted to say in his heart. After a while, he changed his mind and said, "I've talked to the teacher. I quit Lixiao, and she has no objection."

The teacher should not have no opinion.

Anyway, Huo Shen never listened to her opinion.

Huo Shen didn't realize this, so he just continued, "However, two five-star alien beasts have evolved from the southern alien beast tide."

He was able to say this, and Xiao Hanping could already hear what he meant: "You want to go."

"That's right." Huo Shen said, "It's better to make the teacher less embarrassing at the alliance meeting."

His departure will inevitably make Zhong Fanglin besieged by the rest of the alliance's top management.

Huo Shen's ability to solve such a big problem before he left would indeed relieve Zhong Fanglin a lot of pressure.

However, for no reason, Xiao Hanping suddenly thought of the five-star alien beast he met in the training field of the First Academy.

To deal with two at the same time, the pressure is naturally greater.

"need my help?"

Huo Shen didn't answer.

Originally, when he rushed back from the alliance, he didn't plan to let Xiao Hanping go to the south with him.

The battlefield is full of dangers, and the environment is extremely harsh, which cannot compare to the tranquility of the dungeon.

But now...

Huo Shen pursed his thin lips.

His five fingers hanging between his knees loosened and tightened, just like his current state of mind.

Xue Yi, who returned to the dungeon, was like a shadow weighing on his heart.

Xiao Hanping once trusted Xue Yi so much, wouldn't he really tell Xue Yi everything like he did to him?

But what happened three years ago has not been investigated clearly.

He hid Xiao Hanping for three full years without any explanation.

Xue Yi is a poisonous snake at all, always wandering around Xiao Hanping.

He wanted Xiao Hanping to stay away from the poisonous snake, farther away, and even never to meet each other.

But what qualifications does he have to ask Xiao Hanping to do this.

"Huo Shen?"

Huo Shen didn't dare to look up.

He was afraid that the severely suppressed, bitter feelings that were surging to the extreme would be uncontrollably revealed from his eyes.

He didn't want to take risks.

Can not afford to risk the consequences.

Not qualified, but better than a stranger.

The last thing he wants now.

Even the peaceful coexistence at this moment was taken back by Xiao Hanping.
