third rebirth

At dawn, Ye Xiao got up, grabbed the knife and prepared to go out for morning exercises.When he reached the door, his footsteps stopped again.

Going back to the bed, looking at Ling Chen who was still sound asleep after taking the medicine, Ye Xiao took four deep breaths before slowly leaning down and kissing Ling Chen's lips, boldly, I licked it twice with the tip of my tongue.After that, it was like stepping on the wind under his feet, and he opened the door quickly with red ears and went out.

Rushing to the corner of the corridor in one breath, Ye Xiao slammed on the brakes, narrowly missing Bai Hengyun.

Bai Hengyun just stayed up all night and yawned with an empty coffee cup. Seeing that it was Ye Xiao, he smiled and said, "Woke up so early?"

Ye Xiao stood still and said seriously, "Well, I'm going to practice." He thought for a while and added, "The captain is still sleeping."

Bai Hengyun saw his embarrassment, and smiled gently, "Well, then I'll go and see Ling Chen." Then, she asked Ye Xiao to hold the coffee cup for her, and carefully tidied Ye Xiao's clothes with his hands free. Pingping said in his mouth, "You are like Ling Chen, every time you put on clothes, the neckline is crooked, and you are always not neatly dressed."

After tidying up, she withdrew her hand and nodded with satisfaction, "Our Ye Xiao looks really good-looking."

Ye Xiao's ears were completely red, and she whispered, "Thank you."

Bai Hengyun took back the coffee cup, frowned with a smile, "Okay, let's do morning exercises!"

After Bai Hengyun left, Ye Xiao stood there for a while longer, touched the neckline in a daze - is this... how mother feels?

Ling Chen's physique was indeed excellent, and the wound healed quickly. After only three days, the bleeding stopped.In view of the shortage of medical resources and they cannot be wasted, he lived next door to Jiang Cancan with Ye Xiao very consciously.

But he seems to be very busy, and he doesn't go back to his room until the middle of the night every day.

When he received the message from Ling Chen, Ye Xiao was playing chess with Jiang Cancan and Jialan, he just learned it, and lost very badly, his face was covered with a row of white stripes, only his eyes were exposed.

Seeing the message from Ling Chen in the communicator, Ye Xiao tore off the white stripes on his face, stood up, "The captain called me, I'll go there first."

Jiang Cancan smiled and waved, "Okay, let's continue the trip to Baitiao tomorrow!"

Ye Xiao has become familiar with the temporary base in the past few days. The base covers a large area, surrounded by mountains and forests, and the location is hidden. It used to be a test site under the Engineering Academy. After Bai Hengyun and the others came, they remodeled it. can be used.

According to the message sent by Ling Chen, Ye Xiao walked all the way to the top floor, opened the door leading to the rooftop, closed it smoothly, and when he raised his head again, he froze in place.

On the rooftop, someone stringed palm-sized straw cages into a string with thin straw ropes and hung them above their heads. Inside each delicate straw cage was a firefly, shining brightly.

Like stars falling.

At this moment, the stars seemed to fall into Ye Xiao's eyes, the night wind was blowing from an unknown direction, and the stars swayed.

Ling Chen wore a black shirt with the three buttons on the top undone, which happened to reveal the fine lines of his chest muscles.The hair has obviously been taken care of, and the forehead is exposed, showing profound facial features, and the eye sockets are also deeper.On his wrist, he also wore a watch that was more expensive than a car in a very coquettish way.

He stood next to Ye Xiao and raised his head together with him, "Do you like it?"

Ye Xiao shifted his gaze to Ling Chen's face, and replied softly, "I like it, I like it very much."

The smile on the corners of Ling Chen's lips widened, and he was in a very good mood, "The first time I made a small cage for you, I said, if there are fireflies in the future, just grab a few and put them in, then it will be a real little lantern."

At that time, Ye Xiao was still in Zone D, when Ye Xiao heard the movement, he got out from the rear compartment, and dealt with a monitor lizard without being injured himself.To reward him, Ling Chen made a small straw cage.

After the end sound fell, neither of them spoke, only the gentle sound of the wind in their ears.When Ling Chen was pointed at his chest with a gun, he didn't panic at all, he was calm and composed, but now he was so nervous that his heart was about to pop out.

He forgot all the words and sentences he had thought up before, so he simply improvised, "Ye Xiao, I—"

With a beep, the communicator in his pocket automatically opened the communication channel, followed by Bai Hengyun's eager voice, "Ling Chen, come to the main control room quickly, something has happened!"

"...Fuck!" The atmosphere created with great difficulty was completely destroyed. He worked so hard to make a small cage to catch fireflies in the middle of the night, and wrote five versions of a [-]-word confession essay—so angry that he vomited blood!

Trying to keep his voice steady, Ling Chen took out the communicator and replied, "I'll be there soon."

Reluctantly breaking his smile, Ling Chen stroked Ye Xiao's hair, "I'll go over and see what's wrong."

Ye Xiao nodded, "Well, hurry up, I'll go back by myself later."

The door was closed, and Ye Xiao was the only one on the entire rooftop.He touched each of the small straw lanterns lightly next to each other, and finally found a place to sit down, resting his chin on his hands, staring at the bright little lanterns, feeling full as if something was about to overflow come the same.

Ye Xiao held the scabbard tightly with his fingers, and after a while, he called out in his heart, "Noah, are you there?"

After a few seconds, Noah's voice appeared, "Hello, Ye Xiao."

Ye Xiao asked in his heart, "Can you see these fireflies?"

Noah replied, "Yes." He continued, "Ye Xiao, your heart rate is not normal right now."

Ye Xiao admitted, "Yeah." He also knew that when he put his palm on his heart, he could feel his heart beating violently.

After a few seconds of silence, Noah suddenly said, "I know, when you think of a person, your heart rate will increase, your lacrimal gland will secrete tears very easily, your body temperature will rise, and you will smile more often. This is called liking among you humans. "

With a "bang", the door of the main control room was pushed open from the outside, and Ling Chen walked in murderously, the air pressure was frighteningly low.

Bai Hengyun's eyes were obviously black and blue, she turned to look at Ling Chen, raised her eyebrows, "Yo, is this the postponement of the rebellious period?"

Ling Chen thought to himself, I'm almost thirty, fart's rebellious period, he asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

"Something happened to your father."

Ling Chen frowned, "Old Ling?"

Bai Hengyun handed the empty glass to Ling Chen, and Ling Chen poured a new one for her.After taking a sip of warm coffee, Bai Hengyun pinched the center of his brows, "The day before you came here, that is, on the 24th, your dad led the team out and contacted here every day. But just now, I only said a few words on the voice call , suddenly turned into noise, and then disconnected. Call back again, only a busy tone remains."

Ling Chen's eyes sharpened, "Can you locate it?"

"Yes." Bai Hengyun tapped the screen a few times with his fingers, "This is the location displayed during the call. We don't know what happened there for the time being."

Ling Chen looked at the location shown on the map, "It's a wasteland, what are Lao Ling and General Jia going to do?"

Bai Hengyun pointed his finger on the screen, "The underground here is a deserted testing ground, and there is a piece of information in it, which must be obtained."

Reading solemnity from her tone, Ling Chen nodded, "I'll take someone there, don't worry."

Bai Hengyun put down his coffee cup, stared at Ling Chen, and said softly, "Be careful."

Ling Chen picked up his lips, and smiled a little casually, "Okay."

Hearing that a mission was about to be done, Jiang Cancan jumped up on the spot, almost dancing, "Master Can, I'm so idle that I'm going to lose my skin! What's the difference between a day without missions and a salted fish!"

Ling Chen kicked him, and then handed a chip to Jiang Mu, "Professor Bai said that all the materials that can be used are in it, you can take a look first."

Jiang Mu took over and asked, "Are you going, kid?"

Ling Chen was silent for two seconds, "I don't want him to go."

Jiang Cancan patted his long haircut, "That's right, there is no backup for this mission, and I'm not sure whether the risk factor is high or not. If we die, we can still pursue first-class merit—"

What he didn't finish was that Ye Xiao didn't belong to the official establishment and had no relatives. If he died, no one would remember him.

Ye Xiao just opened the door and came in, "What are you talking about?" He was holding three small straw cages, and the fireflies inside had already been released.He stood next to Ling Chen, raised his head and asked him, "Are you going on a mission?"

Ling Chen raised his hand and pinched the back of his neck, "Mm." He suddenly thought that he had just promised before that no matter where he went, the two of them would be together, and he would never be left alone again.

So the words on the lips changed to, "Is Xiao Mao Mao going?"

"Yes, I'll go with you."

"Okay." Ling Chen felt relieved suddenly.His little Mao Mao has never been a weak person, but a strong person who can kill him under a knife.I should not help him make decisions in the name of his good like treating the delicate flowers in the greenhouse, but should respect him and his choice.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, after packing their things, five people boarded an armored vehicle.

Bai Hengyun came to see him off. She was not used to making a sentimental look, so she just waved her hands, "Go early and come back early, be safe." The night wind blew her scattered strands of hair, and her tone was relaxed, but her eyes still hid worried.

Ling Chen sat in the driver's cab, put his fingers together, put his brows together, and saluted her, "Drink less coffee, your stomach will be hungry."

Ye Xiao thought for a while, then poked his head out, and said, "Sleep more."

Bai Hengyun was amused, "You guys are the ones talking!"

The engine started, and the camouflage-coated armored vehicle disappeared into the night.

The navigator emitted fluorescent blue light, Ling Chen glanced at the rear compartment, "All those who eat melon seeds and those who play backgammon are all taken away, go to sleep."

Jia Lan quickly collected the melon seeds, Jiang Cancan collected the backgammon, the three of them searched for a place, and fell asleep after a while.

It was pitch black night ahead, Ling Chen lowered the partition between the driver's cab and the rear compartment, glanced at Ye Xiao who was sitting upright on the co-pilot, and asked him in a low voice, "Are you sleepy?"

Ye Xiao shook his head, "I'm not sleepy, I'll accompany you."

That's what he said, but within 3 minutes, Ye Xiao's eyes closed, and his jaw moved bit by bit.

Ling Chen laughed when he saw it, took off his coat, and put it on his body with one hand.

As if he could recognize Ling Chen's scent even in his sleep, Ye Xiao was fast asleep while holding a corner of his clothes.

When it was almost dawn, Jiang Mu woke up and got up to change shifts with Ling Chen.Ling Chen stopped the car, opened the door and jumped off the ground, walked around the front of the car, opened the passenger's door, and gently hugged Ye Xiao into his arms.Then he mouthed to Jiangmu, "I'll leave it to you."

Jiang Mu nodded.

Carrying Ye Xiao back to the rear compartment, Ling Chen found a place to lie down, and then hugged him in his arms.But before falling asleep, he was woken up by Jiang Mu.

Following them to the cab, Ling Chen lowered his voice, "Is there something wrong?"

"Well." Jiang Mu nodded, "The car signal receiver is on, and just received a distress message, the encryption method is ours."

Ling Chen frowned, "What's the content?"

Jiang Mu handed the translated text to Ling Chen, which said, "Brothers passing by, help! The whole team, I promise you with your body!"

After reading it, Ling Chen twirled his fingers and asked, "Are you on the way?"

"By the way." Jiang Mu also looked at the line, "Help me?"

Ling Chen: "Help."
