glory [rebirth]

[Mu Qingtong: I'm very annoying now, let me be quiet for two days. 】

Before going to bed, Mu Qingtong sent this message to Damian. He didn't know what message Lu Sien had deleted before, so he could only answer in such an ambiguous manner.In addition, he wanted to be quiet. He couldn't bear the bombardment of more than a dozen articles a day.What's more, Lu Sien said that Lyle sent the message with Damian's communicator...

He felt like he was going to explode.

He only used the smart bracelet that Lawson gave him once, and briefly reported the progress of his evaluation. After thinking about it, he and Lawson said that he would investigate Lyle, but there was no response. He planned to send a message, but in the end Still didn't say anything, put away the wristband, lay down and fell asleep.

The embarrassment between him and Lyle did not disappear gradually with the passage of time, but tended to intensify.Damian didn't show up with Lyle during the morning exercises either, he was always alone and seemed very lonely.

For three days in a row Lyle was silent, and Mu Qingtong also observed him silently, pretending to look at his back casually, thinking about how to make up for Lyle if his judgment was wrong, maybe he really didn't even have any friends Do.

Hope he's right this time.

Maybe it was because the atmosphere was too depressing. At noon on the fourth day, Damian finally couldn't sit still and stopped Mu Qingtong in the cafeteria.

"Do you still want to talk about that?" Mu Qingtong sighed, "I've made it very clear."

"No, no, I know, I know." Damian put the plate in front of Mu Qingtong and rubbed his hands together, "Listen to me first."

"What do you want to say?" Mu Qingtong simply put down the spoon and stared at Damian helplessly.

Damian scratched his head, touched the tip of his nose, and rubbed the back of his neck.

Mu Qingtong: "..."

It still looks like a monkey...

Damian said, "Actually, I don't think you need to."

Mu Qingtong rubbed the center of her brows irritably, and said, "Can we stop talking about this?"

Damian said "ah" twice, sat on the chair and moved his butt twice, licked his lower lip, and made a few gestures: "No, I mean..."

"Did you have ADHD when you were young?" Mu Qingtong interrupted him.

"Huh?" Damian seemed a little confused when he heard this question, but then seriously denied, "No, no."

Mu Qingtong: "..."

Before Mu Qingtong answered, Damian rushed to say: "I also have ADHD now."

Mu Qingtong: "..."

"I think, even though you didn't promise him, there's no need to keep silent. It's quite normal to be rejected. I have several examples in this class. It will be fine after a while. Speaking of this matter, why are you and Lyle so stiff?" Damian looked very puzzled, "He also said that if you don't agree, just pretend it didn't happen..."

"Impossible." Mu Qingtong retorted sharply, and maybe felt that what he said was too blunt, so he explained, "He said that kind of thing in front of the whole class, and I still make friends with him normally, hanging on to him ?How can it be?"

Damian was unexpectedly silent, looked at Mu Qingtong quietly, and waited for a few seconds before saying, "Little Mu Mu, I'm going to tell you something, don't get angry..."

Mu Qingtong: "What?"

Damian rubbed his hands together, and said coyly, "A-Actually, that... um..."

Mu Qingtong: "Which one?"

"Are you really not angry?" Damian looked very disturbed and asked uncertainly.

Mu Qingtong laughed, looked at him helplessly, and said, "Why am I angry?"

"Then I said..." Damian lowered his head, not looking directly at Mu Qingtong, and stammered, "Actually, Lyle, he, he confessed to you in front of the whole class, yes, yes... "

Mu Qingtong: "What is it?"

"Yes, it was my idea." Damian was tall and burly, and his expression was contorted because of awkward movements at this moment, looking very funny.

Mu Qingtong: "..."

"Really, I really can't blame Lyle for this matter, it's all a bad idea that I came up with alone!" Perhaps because he was worried that Mu Qingtong would not believe it, Damian hurriedly added, "When Lyle started school, he He told me that he likes you, and then I let him do it first, but he was still not happy, thinking that you are not suitable for him."

Mu Qingtong: "..."

What on earth has Damian been doing behind his back, and according to him, Lyle has liked him since the beginning of school?time is so short...

"Didn't you stay with Lu Sien all those days, and it's not like you don't know about Lu Sien's situation in our class. You are so close to him, it will inevitably make Lyle think too much, so I urged him to just tell you the truth that day."

"...What a good idea." Mu Qingtong crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Damian speechlessly.

Damian was stared at by him very awkwardly, his eyes drifted, and he continued: "I always thought you were interested in him, so I..."

Mu Qingtong asked in disbelief, "How did you come to that conclusion?"

"It's not my fault!" Damian seemed to be thumping his chest, "If you didn't keep looking at him secretly, would I think so?"

"..." Mu Qingtong was at a loss for words for a while. At the beginning, he was indeed always staring at Lyle, trying to find more shadows of Lynn from him. After finally adjusting his mentality, he slowly became normal.During that time, the three of them were always together, and it was reasonable for Damian to find out. This can only be blamed on him being too careless.

Mu Qingtong straightened his thoughts, sighed, and said to Damian: "You really misunderstood. Did Lyle tell you? He looks very similar to an old friend of mine."

"I said so." Damian remembered clearly.

"He was my mentor." Mu Qingtong said, "He passed away in an accident not long ago."

"..." Damian didn't answer, he understood the importance of a mentor in life, and Mu Qingtong was just a freshman, his mentor could only be the one who taught him intelligence skills, "Sorry, I don't know... ..."

Mu Qingtong shook his head lightly, the corners of his eyes looked very soft, and persuaded: "It's okay, it's over."

"Lair looks very similar to him, so I can't help but keep looking at him." Mu Qingtong poked the rice on the dinner plate with a spoon pretending to be relaxed, scooped up a spoonful and was about to pick it up, then lifted it in the air and put it down again "You've probably heard that those of us who do intelligence will have special training before we enter the department and become regular employees."

Damian nodded.

Mu Qingtong went on to say: "I passed the review very early, so I knew my mentor when I was very young. He has always taken me by the hand and taught me. Do you know? I am an orphan, and my adoptive father has been around since before I can remember. Died of illness, I lived with my adoptive mother since I was a child."

Mu Qingtong put down the spoon, rubbed his eyes, then sucked his nose, and said: "I have never met my parents, so I have never called my father since I was a child. When I met my mentor, I was only 11 years old. ...He took care of me like a father..."

"Oh, no, don't say it." Damian rubbed his face and interrupted Mu Qingtong, with a gloomy expression on his face, the eloquence had disappeared, and he held back for a long time before he said, "Yes, I'm sorry."

"It's nothing, I lost my composure a bit, I'm sorry." Mu Qingtong sniffed again, her eyes were obviously much moister than before, as if she was trying to keep her eyes wide open to prevent tears from falling.

"Sorry." Damian said again.

Mu Qingtong didn't answer this time, and continued to eat with her head down, but she obviously lost her appetite at first. She only took a few sips, and then said: "I can't agree to Lyle. Maybe you think it's ridiculous , but... I really can't accept a person who looks so much like my mentor, understand?"

Damian nodded half-understanding.

The two fell into silence again.

Then Mu Qingtong stood up, took the plate and was about to go to the recycling truck at the door, and said to Damian: "I'm done eating, let's go first."

"Wait!" Seeing that he was about to leave, Damian quickly stopped him.

"What?" Mu Qingtong turned around and asked in doubt. Although the redness around the eye sockets had not faded, she seemed to be in a slightly better mood.

"I, I will tell Lyle what you mean." Damian said, "Hey... I thought it would be suitable for the two of you to be together, but now...forget it, I'll go find him later, I guess he's in the bedroom right now."

Mu Qingtong smiled: "Thank you, and say sorry to him by the way."

"Ok."

The moment he turned around, Mu Qingtong breathed a sigh of relief, his sad expression disappeared, and tiny beads of sweat oozed from his back.

13:00 pm, Dormitory 327, Building B.

"Damian blocked me in the cafeteria today, and then I asked him to tell Lyle that it was impossible for me to tell him." Mu Qingtong reported today's situation to Lu Sien as usual, and put the small paper box in his hand on the table , "I made up a lot of things in a deceitful way. It is estimated that Lyle will not come to me in the future, if he has no other thoughts."

"What's that?" Lu Sien asked, pointing to the paper box.

"Damian gave it to me. He said it was a prickly pear from Lyle."

"What did you make up?" Lu Sien came back late at noon that day, and his military uniform hadn't changed yet, so he looked upright.

Mu Qingtong said slyly: "I said Lyle looks like my dad, I can't fall in love with my dad."

Lu Sien: "..."

Mu Qingtong: "Hey, I'm teasing you."

Lu Sien looked at him speechlessly.

Mu Qingtong quickly added: "That's not what I told him, but that's about it. I said that Lyle looked very much like a dead teacher like me. That teacher taught me for a long time."

Lu Sien raised his head and unbuttoned a button on his neck, his Adam's apple squirmed up and down, and asked, "Really?"

"Of course it's fake." Mu Qingtong said with a smile, "How could it be true?"

Lu Sien let out a "huh", noncommittal, walked over and picked up the box directly.

Mu Qingtong hurriedly said: "Hey, take it easy, don't break it, this box is pretty pretty."

"Tch." Lu Sien said disdainfully, then violently disassembled the box, and a small pot of prickly pear appeared in front of him.

A layer of round pebbles was placed in the pot for decoration. Lyle bought the kind of grafted prickly pear, with several colors on it, and it looked very cute. Mu Qingtong reached out and touched the burrs on it: " Quite fun."

"What a joke." Lu Sien said immediately.

Mu Qingtong glanced at him with a smile, but saw that Lu Sien's expression was extremely gloomy, and his brows were tightly frowned.

Even though Lu Sien has been cloudy these days, he rarely showed such an expression. Mu Qingtong realized that something was wrong, and immediately asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Lu Sien covered his mouth.

Mu Qingtong: "!!!"

Lu Sien said calmly, "Nothing."

Mu Qingtong glanced at the prickly pear suspiciously, and signaled Lu Sien to let go.

Lu Sien slowly let go of him, and then gestured for the smart bracelet. Mu Qingtong instantly understood what he wanted, so he opened the drawer and gave him the smart bracelet.

Then Lu Sien made a "continue to speak" mouth shape.

Mu Qingtong understood, and said: "I have also bought cactus balls before. The balls on the top are red. I think they are very beautiful. The bottom is covered with a layer of sand that is light purple and close to white. But it doesn't matter. When these balls grow up, I will buy them. Looks good, don't you think?"

"Boring." Lu Sien said something cooperatively. At this time, the smart bracelet was activated, the laser screen was called up, and a series of indexes were opened on it.

What made Lu Sien react like this?

While talking, Mu Qingtong came to a very scary conclusion.

Mu Qingtong calmed down, and while Lu Sien was operating, he took out his communicator, called up the radio interface, and plugged in the earphones, then entered a line of words on the screen, and handed it to Lu Sien— —

[What is the most stable radio frequency band nearby? 】

Lu Sien looked at him in surprise, took the communicator, and typed a series of numbers on it.

Mu Qingtong gestured "OK" to him.

Hope it's not what he thought.

Mu Qingtong's heart was beating like a beating, and he was very conflicted in his heart. No matter which result after verification, it was not what he wanted to see.Mu Qingtong took a deep breath, stuffed the two earphones into her ears, and then approached the prickly pear with the communicator——

The originally clear broadcast sound gradually became noisy and louder.

Mu Qingtong glanced at Lu Sien, who was looking for key data with his back turned to him.At this moment, the time seems to be stretched extremely long, and every movement is like a slow beat.

He sighed, as if unwilling to believe the result, he moved the communicator to the other side of the table corner.

It took a while to move the prickly pear to the same location.

Mu Qingtong stared blankly at the wall, and his ears were filled with the electric sound of "呵呵呵啦", and the volume changed with the distance from the communicator to the cactus.

Suddenly Mu Qingtong smiled, the smile was extremely complicated, filled with both joy and disappointment.

At this time, Lu Sien also found what he was looking for, and then held the bracelet in front of Mu Qingtong, enlarged and sharpened the laser screen, and there was a round pebble the size of a fingernail on it.

Mu Qingtong also pointed to his hand holding the communicator, and the two mouthed tacitly at the same time——

"Bug."
