interstellar enemy

On the top floor of the school, there was a gentle breeze, He Tian sat on the ground, and Thain sat next to him.The wall on one side of the roof casts a small shadow and blocks the sun.

"Are you still going to find Qiao Xi?" Thain asked.Why He Tian broke up with Qiao Xi, he never knew the reason.It wasn't until Qiao Xi was injured and returned home that under his repeated questioning, He Tiantian told him and showed him what Youxuan had recorded.

He Tian didn't answer, his eyes looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

Thain knew He Tian well and knew He Tian's principles, but Thain still felt that He Tian was a bit arbitrary in this matter.

"I watched that image several times. Qiao Xi did use his brain, but this does not mean that he copied the thing." Thain also thought about it for a few days before telling He Tian his point of view, "Another angle I thought, even if Qiao Xi copied these things, he couldn’t understand them at all at his current level. Get kicked out of the armor circle."

He Tian turned to look at Thain. He had thought a lot these days, but he didn't have an answer.

"He has used an optical brain, but there are no fingerprints on it." This made He Tian more suspicious of Qiao Xi.

Thain frowned slightly, which he could not explain.After thinking for a while, he said from an objective point of view: "You can have your doubts, but at least you have to listen to Qiao Xi's explanation, right? You didn't even give him a chance to explain, it's not fair to him."

He Tian fell silent again. It wasn't that he didn't want to give Qiao Xi a chance to explain that day, but that Qiao Xi didn't want to explain at all, and just told him to break up.

"You should be able to see that although Qiao Xi can't compare with us in terms of combat power, he also has his own pride. If you think about his self-esteem and pride a little more, things won't be so ugly." To some extent , they feel that Qiao Xi needs to be protected, but on the other hand, Qiao Xi also has his own persistence and principles.

He Tian frowned slightly, if this pride would make Qiao Xi break up with him unscrupulously, then he would rather break the shell of pride.

Just as Thain was about to continue, footsteps came from the stairs, and then the door of the roof was opened, and a girl walked in.

When the girl saw He Tian, ​​her eyes became brighter, she walked over with a pretty smile, handed over the bento in her hand, and said, "President, the bento is still hot, you can eat it while it's hot."

He Tian ignored her, at this moment there were no less than ten lunch boxes beside him.This situation began to appear after he and Qiao Xi broke up, and it became more and more serious.

Thain has an impression of this girl, not because she has any outstanding features, but because she is in Qiao Xi's class, and her name is Maggie.Thain glanced at the blue one in the pile of lunch again. If he remembered correctly, it should have been sent by Lindy, who was closer to Qiao Xi before and then alienated—indeed, he wanted to compete for the president’s assistant. Girls were not the only ones in this position, but He Tian didn't remember whether it was a man or a woman, and he didn't even know their names.

Maggie seemed to be used to He Tian's indifference, she put down her lunch box and said to He Tian, ​​"If there is any dish you don't like, I won't make it in the future, I will only cook what you like." After finishing speaking, she didn't look forward to it He Tian would give him a response, so he turned and left. Before leaving, he didn't forget to brush his seaweed-like hair to show his best side.

After Maggie left, He Tian stood up, didn't even look at the lunch boxes, and said to Thain, "Let's go eat."

"Okay." Thain also stood up and put all these lunch boxes into the space button.He knew that He Tian would not eat these things, and it would be a waste to lose them, so he would pack them up every day and feed them to the stray cats and dogs near his home.

After resting for a few days, Qiao Xi came to the institute.Seeing him enter the door, Luga nodded with a smile, but when he saw his forehead still covered, he frowned slightly and asked how he was recovering.

"It's nothing serious, the scabs have started to form." Qiao Xi replied at a normal recovery speed.

"That's good. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me quickly, don't force it." Lu Jia said.He can be regarded as knowledgeable under the mech, but he can be said to know nothing about wound treatment and recovery. Anyway, there is one at home who can do it.

"Yes, I know." Qiao Xi nodded.

Lu Jia didn't say anything else, and started to take him to do the experiment. Everyone in the laboratory was in a working state, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

All morning, Lu Jia didn't mention He Tian, ​​nor did he ask about Qiao Xi's school affairs. He just guided him with all his heart, and Qiao Xi's judgment of the quality of the materials after decomposition has also made some progress, although it has not yet met Lu Jia's requirements. , but it is already very gratifying.

During lunch, Luga was still analyzing the last batch of materials that had been decomposed this morning.Lu Jia doesn't eat, so Qiao Xi can't go to eat by himself, and he also wants to finish analyzing this batch of materials. There are other things to do in the afternoon. If you don't use the lunch break to finish the morning, then everyone can't get off work on time .

Luke was immersed in the analysis when the door of the laboratory was pushed open.As soon as Qiao Xi turned her head, she saw Leonard walking in with a takeaway.

"Mr. Leonard." Qiao Xi greeted him.

Leonard nodded, walked up to Lu Jia and stroked Lu Jiamo's purple hair, and asked, "How long will it take?"

"Two ten minutes." Lu Jia said without raising his head.

Leonard put the takeaway aside, and said to Qiao Xi, "Go and eat, there's nothing in the cafeteria late."

Qiao Xi originally wanted to follow Luke to complete the analysis, but when Leonard came, he was not good at being a light bulb in the laboratory. Luke didn't object to Leonard, so he nodded , Said: "Then I'm going to eat first." After finishing speaking, he left the laboratory.

There may not be any food in the cafeteria at this time. The cafeteria of the research institute is not open all day, so eat on time.

Qiao Xi was thinking about whether to go out to eat, the elevator sounded lightly, and Case walked out from the slowly opening elevator, and after seeing Qiao Xi, he smiled and said, "It's just right, I brought the food for you," he said He shook the lunch box in his hand.

"Thank you." He was somewhat surprised that Case brought him a meal.

Case pressed the elevator again and said, "Let's eat in the lounge downstairs, it's quiet over there."

"Okay." Seeing the food in the transparent lunch box, Qiao Xi's appetite was also whetted.

The two went to the lounge together. Qiao Xi ate, and after Keith poured him a glass of juice, he sat next to him and drank coffee.The two chatted about the experiment occasionally, and Qiao Xi would ask Case if he didn't understand something, and Case would explain it to him in detail.In Qiao Xi's opinion, Professor Lu Jia is undoubtedly a genius. Although Case has talent, he is not a genius, and he is not a genius, so it will be easier for Case to explain a difficult topic to him. It's a question of thinking.It's not that Professor Lu Jia's teaching is not good, but that many problems in the details of thinking can be understood at a glance by the professor, but for others, they need to study to find the rules.

After the meal, Case offered to help him clean up the tableware and table without letting Qiao Xi do it.Case's carefulness made Qiao Xi think of what He Tian said to him before. He didn't know whether Case was born to take care of others like this, or he wanted to chase him as He Tian said.But Qiao Xi prefers to believe it is the former.

In the next few days, Qiao Xi was like an assistant in the laboratory every day, going to work in the institute on time, and then deciding whether to leave work on time according to the workload.Over the past week or so, what Qiao Xi has learned is more useful than staying in school for a month, so he also likes going to the laboratory more and more, and is planning for his own laboratory in the future - he wants to build mechas on Solo, It is estimated that he has to build the laboratory deep in the mountains.

This afternoon, Qiao Xi went to the reference room to get the materials as instructed by the professor. When she returned, the elevator door opened, and she saw He Tian and Thain standing in the elevator by accident.Qiao Xi lowered her eyes, somewhat in a dilemma.

Thain pressed the elevator, smiled and said, "Come up quickly."

Qiao Xi thought for a second, and walked into the elevator. The two of them must have come to find Professor Lu Jia. As for what they came for, Qiao Xi didn't want to care.

Thain stared at Qiao Xi's forehead for a while. Qiao Xi's wound had completely scabbed over. A purple-black scab on Qiao Xi's face didn't look good. Judging by the size and thickness of the scab, it must have hurt badly. light.

He Tian has been standing behind Qiao Xi without moving or speaking.Qiao Xi is immune to his aura, but his presence cannot be ignored.

"How are you doing recently?" Thain broke the condensed atmosphere.

Qiao Xi nodded, "Very good." He is indeed very good, he can learn something every day, which puts him in a good mood.

"When are you going to go back to school?" Thain asked again.

Qiao Xi smiled slightly, "Let's talk about it." If possible, he would like to stay in the lab until the end and go back to the exam directly.

Thain still wanted to say something, but the sound of the elevator reaching the floor sounded, interrupting what Thain wanted to say.

The three of them walked into the laboratory together, and Lu Jia was a little surprised to see them coming in together.He knew that He Tian and Thain were coming, but he felt that Qiao Xi should not want to go upstairs with He Tian.

"Professor, the information you want." Zhi Zhi handed over the information in his hand.

Lu Jia looked at the serial number and nodded after confirming it was this one.

"Qiao Xi, can you come over and do me a favor?" Case asked behind the test bench.

"Okay." Qiao Xi responded, and said to Lu Jia, "I'll go and help senior brother."

"Go." He didn't have anything else for Qiao Xi to do, let him follow along with the experiment.

Qiao Xi didn't say anything else, and turned to Case.

He Tian glanced at Qiao Xi with calm eyes, and then talked to Professor Lu Jia about the weapon.Qiao Xi was far away and didn't hear what they said, but Lu Jia's expression should have nothing to do with him copying the files, so he was relieved.

Before leaving, Thain asked if he had time to have dinner together.Qiao Xi found an excuse to decline Thain's invitation. Thain probably also saw Qiao Xi's embarrassment, so he didn't force it, just said to wait for the next time.

Walking out of the laboratory, Thain asked He Tian, ​​"Why didn't you talk to Qiao Xi? You wasted such a good chance for reconciliation."

"Say what?" He Tian pressed the elevator, without looking at Thain.

"It's always right to ask about the injury. I didn't ask. When you answer, you'll be fine and don't say a word." In Thain's view, He Tian and Qiao Xi didn't need to be so stiff.

"You can tell just by looking." He Tian walked into the elevator and hadn't seen each other since they broke up. When he saw Qiao Xi today, although the injury on his head was an eyesore, his complexion was fine, and he seemed to be fine.

Thain sighed, "If you don't take the initiative to close up, do you still expect Qiao Xi to find you? Just now, you can even tell him to give him a chance to explain the video."

He Tian looked at the bustling street scene outside the elevator, but didn't reply.He is in a bad mood now, especially when Qiao Xi was called away by Case. He doesn't like the feeling of losing control. Qiao Xi can not obey him, but he doesn't accept Qiao Xi's ignorance.
