[Interstellar] The king who doesn't want to return

Without turning on the light, Tang Rui went into the kitchen in the dark to boil a pot of water, and found a pack of instant noodles from the box under the bed.

Ever since Zhou Yuze delivered the ingredients every week and cooked meals every day, it had been a long time since there was such a thing as instant noodles on the dining table at home. Before tearing open the package, Tang Rui checked the expiry date.

Very good, there are still three days to expire, just deal with it.

The white mist of boiling hot water filled the air, bringing warmth to the icy air.

After soaking the noodles and throwing away the unpacked package, suddenly, the sound of dripping water began to sound outside the window.

It's raining?

Tang Rui ate directly in the kitchen with a bowl of noodles in his hand. Looking out the window, he couldn't help frowning.

The rain is not too heavy, but it is cold, so it is definitely not acceptable to be drenched like this.But... after such a long time, that little idiot should have gotten into the car no matter what!

Thinking about it, he shrugged and shook off the thought.

Snorting and sucking on the noodles and soup until the empty stomach was filled and the body was warmed up.

Putting the bowls and chopsticks into the sink, Tang Rui turned and went back to the living room, and turned on the communicator that had been off before.

Sure enough, the signal light immediately flickered rapidly.

Tang Rui flipped through the pages, they were very good, most of them belonged to Zhou Yuze, Feng Lang and Tang Yan, and at the end there was one from Zuo Shaobai.

Not long after thinking about it, another new communication came in.

Tang Rui glanced at it and connected it casually.

In the dark environment, the screen flickered, and Zuo Shaobai's figure appeared, followed by a look of disgust: "Are you finally so poor that you can't even afford electricity?"

"That's right, so Major General, I'm applying for an advance payment of this month's salary." Tang Rui replied lazily.

"Tell He Qin that I don't care about the logistics." Zuo Shaobai fought angrily for a round, paused, and said, "Have you made up yet?"

"Why didn't I know that you have become so careless now." Tang Rui looked at him strangely.

"Fuck off! You think I'm willing to meddle in your business!" Zuo Shaobai gave him a sip, and said resentfully, "If you want to find Su Yingtang yourself, don't always ask me to fetch things for you."

"Being ridiculed again?" Tang Rui said clearly.

"One or two of you, you think I'm easy to bully, don't you?" Zuo Shaobai gritted his teeth.

"No way." Tang Rui slapped haha, not wanting to really over-stimulate people, and immediately changed the subject, "How is the situation over there?"

"The recent actions of the empire are very big. According to my judgment, it is definitely related to the group of people we arrested in Aquamarine." Zuo Shaobai said in a deep voice.

Hearing the place name "Bi Shui Xing", Tang Rui's eyes sank again, and he said after a while, "Do you know what they are looking for?"

"It's a kind of metal." Zuo Shaobai said.

"Metal? I thought it would be related to plants." Tang Rui was taken aback.

After all, the environment of the earth and the environment of Aquamarine have one thing in common is the vegetation. Of course... the last monster vine on the earth is not among them.

"According to what they said, it is metal, but it is indeed related to plants, because that special metal is grown by plants." Zuo Shaobai continued in one breath.

"Interesting." Tang Rui nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"What kind of metal is it, and whether it has been found? Others don't know about it. The key, Lu Chun, is really tight-lipped." Zuo Shaobai sighed, regretfully.

"It doesn't mean that you don't know anything." Tang Rui's appetite was whetted but when he heard such an answer, he felt like vomiting blood.

"Anyway, come over tomorrow, I still have something here." Zuo Shaobai said.

"Got it." Tang Rui said.

"I said..." Zuo Shaobai said suspiciously, "Are you too talkative recently?"

"Huh?" Tang Rui raised an eyebrow.

"Even seven years ago, you weren't so obedient, okay? Li Yi, who is more miserable than you, your current adjutant is so happy...is he called Li Zhifei?" Zuo Shaobai said.

"What are you talking about, I'm a good soldier." Tang Rui squinted at him.

Zuo Shaobai felt that at least 90.00% of the soldiers in the entire federation would vomit blood after hearing his words.

"Okay, it's okay, I'm going to sleep." Tang Rui said.

"Isn't Zhou Yuze not here, what a ghost you are sleeping so early!" Zuo Shaobai said angrily.

Tang Rui's expression froze for a moment, and then he slightly hooked the corners of his lips, revealing a creepy smile, his tone was low and gentle, but with strong murderous intent: "Zuo Shaobai, I will talk to Su Yingtang tomorrow."

"Hey..." This time it was Zuo Shaobai's turn to stiffen.

Tang Rui admired his expression, and then closed the communication with satisfaction.

The only light source dimmed again, and the living room returned to darkness again. However, after staying for a long time, the eyes have begun to adapt to the darkness, and it's not that they can't see clearly.

The rain outside seems to be increasing, and the raindrops are beating on the glass of the window, making people upset.

Zhou Yuze actually didn't go far.

Standing at the corner of the street, he watched the man open the door and enter the house, but he didn't see the light that made him feel at ease.

Slowly, the drizzle turned into bean-sized raindrops, drenching him from the outside to the inside, the cold clothes clinging to the skin, bursts of cold air seemed to penetrate into the bone marrow, making him subconsciously He clasped his arms tightly.

However, it was always dark in the house.

Zhou Yuze could imagine the scene in the room, that person must be sitting in the middle of the sofa, with a silent face, a cigarette between his fingers, shining the only light of fire in the dark space.

However, in that case, does it mean that the seniors are not as indifferent as they appear?

And he, can he... still have hope?

Slowly, his stiff feet moved, and he walked out from the corner.

"Brother Zhou?" Suddenly, a surprised voice came from behind.

"Xiaoyan?" Zhou Yuze turned around.

"Brother Zhou, why are you drenched like this without an umbrella?" Tang Yan switched the backpack to her shoulder, then moved more than half of the umbrella over, and scolded, "You don't care about your body too much. Take an umbrella and run a few steps quickly, but you are still walking slowly, what should you do if you catch a cold!"

"Why are you here?" Zhou Yuze asked.

"It's not my bastard brother!" Tang Yan complained, "I turned off the communicator again, and I couldn't find anyone, so I had to run back to find him. Fortunately, Chen Li just stuffed an umbrella for me in this terrible weather—ah, Zhou Brother, I didn't come back to disturb your vacation on purpose, I really need my brother."

As she spoke, the girl stuck out her tongue and made a cute grimace.

Zhou Yuze stopped suddenly, looked at her, and gritted his teeth: "I still have something to do, so I'll go back first."

"Ah? Hey?" Tang Yan was taken aback for a moment, and didn't realize it until he had walked a certain distance in the rain, and hurried to catch up, "Brother Zhou! I'll be back to school in a while, why don't you leave, if my brother finds out, he won't complain me!"

"I really have something to do." Zhou Yuze paused and quickened his pace.

Tang Yan was stunned for a while, feeling a little confused.If something happened, I wouldn't come here and turn back, and it's still raining... After thinking about it, the girl stomped her feet, rushed up and stuffed the umbrella into his hand: "Then you should at least take the umbrella and go."

"Then you..." Zhou Yuze immediately refused.

"I'll be home in a few steps, I'm fine!" Before he could finish speaking, Tang Yan hurriedly covered her backpack over her head and rushed into the rain.

Zhou Yuze held the handle of the umbrella that was still warm, his eyes were blank.

Tang Yan's basic physical fitness is also among the best in this mecha department full of boys. She ran the [-]-meter distance in a few seconds, rushed to the eaves, and hurriedly opened the lock.

"Wrong password, please re-enter."

"Password error, please re-enter, three wrong times will..."

"You're the wrong size!" Tang Yan pressed the button a third time in disbelief, cursing viciously.

Nothing goes well, even the door of the house is bullying!

"Crack." The door opened.

"Why are you back?" Tang Rui asked in surprise as soon as he looked up.

"Wow!" Tang Yan screamed, turned on the light immediately, and said depressedly, "Brother, so you are at home? You don't even turn on the light without saying a word, it's frightening to death."

"How did it happen?" Tang Rui extinguished half of the cigarette in his hand and frowned.

"It's okay, I just met Brother Zhou outside, so I gave him the umbrella." Tang Yan said casually, ran to the bathroom to get a towel, and complained, "By the way, bro, there seems to be something wrong with our door lock. Find someone to fix it."

"Zhou Yuze? Is he still there?" Tang Rui raised his eyebrows.

"Yes...but I'm leaving now." Tang Yan wiped her hair with a dry towel. After speaking, she suddenly seemed to feel something was wrong. With the towel still on her head, she poked her head out of the bathroom and said curiously, "Brother, did you quarrel?"

"Children don't care about adults' affairs." Tang Rui said after a moment of silence.

"That was a real quarrel." Tang Yan ran out, regardless of her wet clothes, she insisted on squeezing towards him, "Why? No wonder I saw Brother Zhou's expression, he seemed to be crying."

"Go, change clothes, or don't cry if you catch a cold tomorrow." Tang Rui waved away.

"Oh." Tang Yan got up, walked two steps into the room, turned around abruptly, threw herself on the sofa, hugged him heavily, and said with a smile, "Brother, don't be too sad, it's not Brother Zhou, you would too Find something better, don't be sad."

"Fuck you! Don't get all the water on me." Tang Rui threw her out angrily, but with her words in his mouth, he couldn't help wondering, "Aren't you going to speak for him?"

"You are my elder brother." Tang Yan took it for granted.

"What if I bully Xiao Zhou?" Tang Rui said.

"Even if you are a scum, you are still my brother." Tang Yan patted him on the shoulder with a sad face, and said seriously, "So don't worry, brother, I will always stand by your side."

"I thought you liked Xiao Zhou very much." Tang Rui took out another cigarette and lit it.

"I like it very much!" Tang Yan nodded, took his cigarette and pinched it, smiled, no matter how wet she was, she hugged his neck and rubbed against him through the back of the sofa, "But, no matter how much I like it It's not as important as my brother, for so many years, only we have survived by relying on each other."

"Even if your brother and I are really scum?" Tang Rui raised his eyes.

"Well...then it's bad luck for you to be a scumbag." Tang Yan thought for a while.

"Go take a shower!" Tang Rui cursed with a smile, got up and pushed her into the bathroom.

"Hey, I haven't got my clothes yet!" Tang Yan protested.

"I'll leave the door open for you, soak more hot water to get rid of the cold! Come out and drink ginger soup later." Tang Rui closed the bathroom door with a bang.

"Brother, you are more verbose than Nanny Feng!" Tang Yan shouted.

"I'll tell Feng Lang to go." Tang Rui rolled his eyes, turned around and brought a set of pajamas for the girl, of course he couldn't go through the big girl's closet, so what he brought was a newly bought bathrobe.

Or...you bought it when you went out with Zhou Yuze last time?

Sighing, he walked into the kitchen, turned on the light, skillfully boiled water, cut a few slices of ginger and threw it in, boiled it over low heat, then went back to the room and sat down at the desk.

After a moment of silence, Tang Rui opened the bottom drawer of the desk and took out two stacks of papers.

A stack of messy records, distorted lines, notes inserted here and there, sometimes only a few words or even a few letters, the meaning is completely incomprehensible.

On the other side, if Zhou Yuze and Feng Lang were there, they would be able to recognize them right away.

Neat and clear notes, even the map of the star field is drawn meticulously, as perfect as a textbook.

After a pause, he picked out a few from those messy records, spread out another blank sheet of paper, and began to rearrange and restore.
