third rebirth

After Ling Chen's wound was treated, he was sent to the ward.Ye Xiao took a small bench and sat beside the hospital bed with a long knife in his arms. He didn't eat or sleep, and watched Ling Chen quietly.

He was actually very sleepy, he didn't sleep much the night before, and he exhausted his energy while playing mandrill, but he didn't dare to close his eyes, fearing that once he did, Ling Chen would disappear.

Ye Xiao took his little finger, gently hooked Ling Chen's finger, shook it cautiously, and smiled contentedly.

When Bai Hengyun entered the ward, he saw this scene.Even if he was a bit embarrassed, he couldn't hide the beautiful facial features of the young man with clear eyes, holding a long knife in one hand, and hooking his son's fingers in the other, as if he was guarding a priceless treasure, with a satisfied expression on his face.

Hearing the movement, Ye Xiao looked towards the door and stood up cautiously, "...Hello."

He looked at Bai Hengyun curiously, and found that Ling Chen's nose was very similar to his mother's, with narrow nose wings, straight and high nose bridge.The eyes are also a bit similar, they all have double eyelids, and the curvature is similar, but Ling Chen's eyes are much sharper.

Seeing him seriously scrutinizing his appearance, Bai Hengyun said with a smile, "Do I look like Ling Chen?"

Ye Xiao nodded, "Yes, the nose is similar, the eyes are similar, and the ears are all similar."

Bai Hengyun's smile became brighter. She was tall and slender, her hair was neatly coiled, and a few strands of hair fell casually on the side of her face. She was standing against the wall, and the white lab coat on her body had the smell of a windbreaker.

"Are you hungry?"

"A little hungry."

Like magic, Bai Hengyun turned a box of food out and handed it to Ye Xiao, "Eat first, Ling Chen doesn't know when he will wake up, he will only be physically strong after eating."

Ye Xiao took it and said "thank you" earnestly.

Bai Hengyun leaned back against the wall, watching Ye Xiao lower his head to eat, and when he found that he took a few bites, he would subconsciously look at Ling Chen, as if he was making sure that he was there, and continued to eat after making sure, and later, he would still eat. Carefully eat the last grain of rice in the lunch box.

She sighed in her heart, where did she abduct such an obedient child as her own son?

"I'm done eating, thank you, it's delicious." Ye Xiao tidied up the lunch box and returned it to Bai Hengyun.

Bai Hengyun took the empty lunch box, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's just as long as you like it, I made it myself."

Ye Xiao let out an "ah" and struggled for a few seconds before praising, "You are really amazing!"

Finding that he was not good at words, Bai Hengyun took over the words, "Ye Xiao is also very powerful, it was you who caught the mandrill with the bomb in the end, right?"

Ye Xiao shook his head and nodded again, and answered the question honestly, "The captain asked me to do this. I only placed the bomb. In the end, it was Xiaomu's anti-aircraft gun and the captain's armor-piercing explosive bomb that successfully dealt with the mandrill. sharp."

The smile in Bai Hengyun's eyes grew stronger, "You are also very good."

After chatting for a few words, she found that Ye Xiao was young, but had a very good temper. He didn't take credit for it and was not arrogant. He obviously played a key role, but he felt that he didn't do anything.

Ye Xiao had no experience with elders, and no one told him how to chat with elders, so he didn't talk too much, he would answer whatever Bai Hengyun asked, and when he didn't ask, he would just wait quietly.

Bai Hengyun looked at Ling Chen's wound again, "He has lost a lot of blood, and the wound is infected again, and it is not sure whether the mandrill's claws are poisonous, so he may be unconscious for a longer time, so don't worry too much. "

Ye Xiao nodded, "Okay."

"Yeah." Bai Hengyun came over to check on his son in a few minutes of free time, "My rest time is over, I have to go back, come back later."

Ye Xiao struggled for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "Wait, may I ask... is this place safe?"

Bai Hengyun nodded, "Of course."

Ye Xiao met Bai Hengyun's eyes and said cautiously, "I have something for you."

Probably realizing what it was, Bai Hengyun's expression became serious, she walked over, drew the curtains and walked in front of Ye Xiao, "What is it?"

Ye Xiao made a movement of turning his pockets - in fact, there was nothing in his pockets.When he spread his palm, a silver-gray ball of light appeared in his palm.

Bai Hengyun recognized it immediately, "The core of the region?"

Ye Xiao nodded, "Yes, here you are."

Bai Hengyun took it, and couldn't help sighing, "Ling Chen really trusts you." She thought it was Ling Chen who gave it to Ye Xiao for safekeeping, and asked him to give it to her.

Ye Xiao didn't explain - he couldn't reveal anything about Noah, even if he wanted to explain, he didn't know what to say.After handing over the things to Bai Hengyun, he sat down on the small bench again.

When Bai Hengyun left the ward, Ye Xiao rested his chin on his hands, looked at Ling Chen, and called Noah's name in his heart, "Noah, are you there?"

Soon, a familiar mechatronic voice sounded in his ears, "Hello, Ye Xiao."

Ye Xiao replied "Hello", and said, "I have handed over the core area to Bai Hengyun myself."

Noah: "Okay, the copy that Ling Chen carried was destroyed two seconds ago."

Ye Xiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Then have I completed this task?"

Noah: "Of course, thank you, Ye Xiao."

Ye Xiao: "I should thank you, so what's the next task?"

Noah: "The world line will be very different after each reversion. I need to perform multiple deduction to roughly estimate the progress of the world line. The next task will not be released for the time being."

Ye Xiao nodded, and hesitated, "Then...in the world line you launched now, will Ling Chen die like the two previous times?"

Noah: "For the time being, there is an 80.00% chance that seven will not."

Ye Xiao's hanging heart finally fell to the ground, "Thank you, Noah."

In the afternoon, Ling Chen's body temperature began to rise, fluctuating between 38 and 39 degrees. The doctor came to see him and said that there was no major problem, and the fever should subside soon.

After the doctor left, the three of Jiang Cancan lifted a chair and turned the visit into a tea party.

Ye Xiao also got a handful of melon seeds. After peeling off the hard shell, he put all the melon seeds on a small plate.Jia Lan saw it and was curious, "Don't kids like eating melon seeds?"

"No dislike." Ye Xiao replied, "I want to peel it for the captain to eat."

Jialan froze in the action of eating melon seeds, and turned her head to ask Jiang Cancan, "How about...we peel melon seeds for each other to eat?"

Jiang Cancan: "I refuse!"

Leaving Jia Lan aside, he talked to Ye Xiao again, "Little friend, you really don't need to be nervous. Brother Chen doesn't care about such minor injuries! He is a monster with amazing resilience."

In order to increase his persuasiveness, he began to give examples, "Once we were on a mission together, brother Chen was shot, and he was alive and kicking after lying down for half a month. Another time, he was hit by a steel needle the size of a finger on his thigh. After a double piercing, when the needle was pulled out, blood spattered Lao Gao, but after two weeks, Brother Chen still walked like flying. And—"

Jialan slapped Jiang Cancan on the head with a "slap", "If you don't say a few beeps, you will die, right?"

"Why hit me on the head?" Jiang Cancan covered his head with his hands, only then did he realize that Ye Xiao lowered his head, and the corners of his eyes were a little red.

He immediately became nervous, "Hey kid, don't be sad," he scratched his head, "It's probably the daily life of the second part, but Brother Chen is very powerful. Now that he has you, he definitely doesn't want to die even more."

Jiang Cancan rarely changed the subject wittily, "Speaking of which, I walked around this temporary base before, why didn't I see Brother Chen's father?"

Ye Xiao's attention was diverted, "The captain's father, does he look like the captain too?"

Jiang Cancan tried his best to recall, "I seem to have only met Master Can two or three times. He is very elegant and similar to Brother Chen, but his temperament is completely different. We all thought before that Brother Chen must have a genetic mutation. The chief scientists of the two engineering institutes, She actually gave birth to a violent person like Brother Chen!"

Jia Lan was cracking melon seeds with the speed of reloading the heavy sniper, and had already piled up a small pile of melon seed shells, "Speaking of which, my grandpa and the others didn't see anyone, Professor Bai said he was on his way, maybe Professor Ling and My grandfather and they were together."

Jiang Cancan thought it was quite right, and he kindly divided half of his melon seeds to Jialan, and put a handful of peeled melon seeds into Jiang Mu's hands, saying, "Xiaomu has been lazy since he was a child. Peanuts, melon seeds, walnuts and other shelled ones, I don’t like to eat them, and I hate the trouble of peeling them.”

Jiang Mu took the melon seeds and ate them slowly one by one.Jiang Cancan grinned, "I'm very happy to have an older brother!"

Ling Chen woke up at this time.

Ye Xiao was the first to notice, his expression lit up, "Captain, you're awake!"

Jiang Cancan was also very excited, and explained how they were brought back to the base by Bai Hengyun in a few words, and finally sighed, "It's been a long time since I ate melon seeds!"

Ling Chen looked at the few people who were happily having a tea party around his hospital bed, his eyes darkened angrily, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Fuck, I am seriously injured and comatose, it's fine if you don't shed two tears, but you're still sobbing." Got melon seeds?"

Hearing the word "melon seeds", Ye Xiao hurriedly handed the small plate containing melon seeds to Ling Chen, "Captain, I peeled them!"

Ling Chen's black face couldn't be put on any longer, and he laughed, "It's all for me?"

"Ok!"

"Thank you, little Maomao." Ling Chen took it in his hand and ate two pills with a happy expression.Looking at Jiang Cancan and the others, he said lazily, "Go away, go and tell my mom by the way, just say that I'm awake and have dinner together at night."

It only took half a minute for Jiang Cancan and the others to quickly move their positions with melon seed shells and unfinished melon seeds.

The door of the ward was closed, Ling Chen lay relaxed on the bed, stretched out his hand to hold Ye Xiao's hand, squeezed it, "Did you shed any tears?"

Ye Xiao shook his head, "No."

Ling Chen hooked Ye Xiao's finger again, "Did you hook my finger like this before? I vaguely felt it."

Ye Xiao just laughed, her ears were a little red.

Ling Chen saw the tiredness in his eyes, and moved to the side awkwardly, "Come up, sleep with the captain for a while."

Ye Xiao refused, "I will touch your wound."

Ling Chen raised his eyebrows, "The captain lost a lot of blood, and I need Xiao Mao Mao to help warm the bed, is that okay?"

Hearing that Ling Chen was cold, Ye Xiao quickly took off his coat and climbed onto the bed.

Because Ling Chen woke up and the task assigned by Noah was completed, the strings in Ye Xiao's heart suddenly relaxed, leaning on Ling Chen's shoulder, and soon fell asleep.

So when Bai Hengyun hurriedly opened the door of the ward and walked in, he saw Ling Chen holding Ye Xiao in his arms, like protecting some kind of treasure.

Noticing that Bai Hengyun had entered, Ling Chen put a finger on his lips and made a "shh" mouth.Bai Hengyun understood, walked into the ward softly, his expression became gentle, and he gestured in sign language, "Take care of him, see you at dinner."

Ling Chen laughed, put two fingers together, resting on the end of his eyebrows, and saluted handsomely towards Bai Hengyun.

After Bai Hengyun left, silence returned to the ward.Ling Chen turned his head and kissed Ye Xiao's hair lightly, his heart was unbelievably soft.

He greedily stared at Ye Xiao's side face, his little fur was white and thin, his ears were also small, and his eyelashes were thick, trembling with his breathing, like a little girl——

A picture flashed through his mind, Ling Chen's eyelids twitched twice, wow!
