When Xu Ning brought Michael back home, the four people who were still chatting casually in the living room felt a little surprised.

"Third Brother, why did you and...Brother Caleb come back together?" Ji Luli, who saw the person coming, naturally ran towards the door immediately and asked.

Michael just smiled and did not answer his question for the time being.Xu Ning glanced at the living room, only to realize that Shu Yi was not here, so he said to Ji Luli who was beside him, "Lu Li, is Shu Yi upstairs? Tell him to come down, I have something to announce."

Hearing this, Ji Luli naturally obediently turned around and ran upstairs.

Seeing the two walk into the living room, Wen Yun immediately asked, "Xuning, what do you want to announce?"

"It's the matter I discussed with you two before." Xu Ning didn't hide anything.As soon as these words came out, Wen Yun and Ji Luci met each other, and naturally understood what Xu Ning was referring to.

Although Ji Luci frowned when he heard this, he chose to remain silent.

Although Yin Rang on the side was secretly happy to be able to see Michael again.But in the face of the conversation between several people, he still has some doubts.So he simply tore Wen Yun's clothes, and after seeing Wen Yun turned to look at him, he asked, "Captain, what are you talking about?"

As soon as the voice fell, I heard footsteps coming from the stairs.Michael turned around and found that Shu Yi was also standing on the stairs looking at him at the moment.In his expression, he seemed to be full of puzzlement.

"Caleb...?"

Michael frowned at him.Then I heard Xu Ning on the side say, "Don't stand on the stairs stupidly, come down and talk."

Shu Yi nodded, and then walked down the stairs.However, he consciously walked directly to Michael's side, and asked softly again, "No... Didn't you say you want to leave?"

"What? Don't want to see me again?" Michael asked back.

When Shu Yi heard this, he immediately waved his hand in denial, "No, it's not." He was already regretting it. When Michael left just now, he hid in the room and refused to come out. He didn't even say his last goodbye to him.But what he didn't expect was that in less than two hours, this person suddenly appeared in front of him again.

"Third brother, what did you just say to announce?" Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yin Rang couldn't help asking.

Xu Ning looked around at the crowd, but he didn't make a fuss, and said directly, "I have already discussed with Wen Yun and Lu Ci, and I want Caleb to join us. But Caleb has always been worried. ...but it's all over now."

Before Xu Ning finished speaking, Ji Luli immediately understood what he meant, and said excitedly, "So, Brother Caleb, you decided to stay with us?"

Michael looked at Ji Luli who was looking at him, and the other person's eyes were full of excitement that couldn't be concealed, but he also responded with a smile, "Yes."

"Caleb, is what Xu Ning said true?" Shu Yi at the side was overly shocked by the news, but he looked calm, but he was already excited inside.

"I've already stood in this room again, so there will still be leave? Unless, you think I'm not suitable to join you."

"It's suitable. Of course it is." Shu Yi quickly took over the words, "Is there anything inappropriate?"

"That's right. It's just right for Brother Caleb to come in now. He just happens to be with me." Yin Rang also walked to Michael's side excitedly, and said with a smile.

When Michael heard everyone's words, he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.To be honest, now he only chooses to join 'Shu' just for himself and not to be hunted down by those people.

Even though these people are not related by blood, they are like family to each other.And the word "family" is a long time ago for me.It's been so long that I have almost forgotten this feeling...

Looking at the group of people in front of him, Michael thought silently.

Family... Maybe, there will be a day when we will become a family...

"By the way, shouldn't we celebrate?" Shu Yi snapped his fingers and suggested.

"Celebrate what?"

"Of course it's to celebrate Caleb's joining us. And..." Shu Yi put his arm on Yin Rang's shoulder and rubbed Yin Rang's head by taking advantage of his height, "Don't forget, the last time you celebrated Yin Rang's joining At that time, I was still on a mission. That doesn't count!"

When Wen Yun heard this, he naturally nodded, "That's right, since everyone is here today, it's no problem to celebrate."

"Well! I listen to the captain." Yin Rang immediately expressed his opinion.

"Brother, what do you think?"

Ji Luci, whose name was called, looked at everyone and found that everyone was excited, so he naturally nodded, "I have no problem." After saying this, Ji Luci asked himself glasses, and then said as if remembering something, "But... I don't want to go to the kitchen today."

"It's okay, why don't we go out to eat?" Shu Yi suggested.

Hearing this, Wen Yun immediately objected, "This is not Area A after all, it's better for us to go out less."

"Then how about eating barbecue? Let's buy it ourselves and make it in the yard." When it comes to food, Ji Luli looks radiant.

Shu Yi patted Ji Luli's head with his big hand, and said, "It's not for you to celebrate, don't think about eating whatever you like." After finishing speaking, he didn't care about Ji Luli's 'resentment' With an expression on his face, he turned to look at Michael and asked, "Caleb, what do you want to eat?"

"Fourth brother! You don't hurt me at all!" Ji Luli said angrily, rubbing his head with his hands.

Michael looked funny at him, and he didn't care much about the food, so he simply followed Ji Luli's words and said, "Then listen to Lu Li, let's make barbecue by ourselves. Yin Rang, is it okay?" ?”

Yin Rang nodded naturally, "Well, just listen to the foodie Li."

Seeing that both Michael and Yin Rang agreed with his idea, Ji Luli's expression brightened immediately, he simply squeezed Shu Yi aside, then circled Michael's arm very familiarly, and said, "Fourth Brother ! From today, I’m going to transfer to the main camp! Only with Brother Caleb can I eat meat! Hmph!”

Yin Rang immediately agreed, "...Moreover, Fourth Brother will definitely listen to Brother Caleb!"

Shu Yi, who was accidentally hit by something, turned her hair and immediately changed the subject, "Okay, okay, it's good to eat barbecue, anyway, I'm good at it."

"Well, fourth brother, you can take charge."

"...Well, as long as the third brother is not here to bake, everyone is OK..."

Xu Ning, who heard this sentence from the side, immediately retorted, "Ji Luli, what are you talking about! Why is my food so unpalatable?!"

"No, no, third brother is the best!" After finishing speaking, he gave Xu Ning a thumbs up as usual, and then said immediately as if he wanted to avoid Xu Ning, "Then what...captain, you guys Let's rest at home first, and Yinrang and I will go buy the ingredients for the barbecue."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly pulled Yin Rang to the courtyard, and then walked through the courtyard to the gate.

"Xiao Li, do you have any money with you?" Wen Yun looked at the youngest two and couldn't help shouting.

When Yin Rang heard this, he turned his head and said to Wen Yun, "Captain, I still have money on me. Let's go back quickly!" After speaking, he was dragged out of the door by Ji Luli.

……

After the two left, Shu Yi whispered to Michael, "Caleb..."

"how?"

"I...I have something to tell you!" Shu Yi looked at Wen Yun and the other three, then at Michael, and then walked to the edge of the stairs first, and went upstairs.Michael looked at the back of Shu Yi eagerly going up the stairs, and after a pause for a few seconds, he also walked up.

inside the room.

Michael looked at Shu Yi who was hesitant to speak, and remembered what happened between the two last night, and naturally secretly understood what Shu Yi was going to say next.However, he just waited silently for him to speak.

"Caleb...I think I've really thought about what you said to me yesterday."

——The liking you said may be just an illusion.

——And, I will leave you here.So, you don't have to like someone who is leaving.

—Anyway, it’s just the beginning, and after a long time, you will forget about it.

These are the conversations between the two last night.Shu Yi also spent a long time persuading Michael to join them, but Michael did not agree.Although, he didn't know what method Xu Ning used to persuade Michael to stay.Still, it's always a good thing.

"...So what? What do you want to say?" Michael remained calm.

He was grateful for Shu Yi.After all, it was Shu Yi who suddenly rushed out that night and just stood with him.Otherwise, he would have already been captured and returned to Area J by now.But other than that, there doesn't seem to be any extra emotion in it.

For Michael, for a killer, the last thing he needs is emotion.And the most taboo thing is emotion.Even now Michael has decided to leave Area J and decide to abandon his identity.But the norms he has followed for a long time naturally make it impossible for him to allow himself to have any emotions with others so quickly.

Shu Yi looked at Michael, took a deep breath, and said firmly, "First, I have thought about it carefully, it is not an illusion. Even if it was just a good feeling at first, I don't know when I started to like it, anyway, I I just like you!"

"..."

"Second, since you have stayed here, the sentence you said yesterday 'you don't need to like someone who left' is not true. So, from today on, you just wait for me to chase you !"

"..."

"Third, I will not forget this matter! Not only will I not forget it, but I want you to firmly remember that I like you. That's it, I'm done!"

"..."

Michael looked at Shu Yi, who was once again showing a heroic sacrifice, and sighed helplessly.

Shu Yi, you idiot... what is this?Confession?swear?

No matter what, Michael had a vague premonition that from the moment he joined '殳', it seemed that he was destined to have such an idiot in his life from now on...

……

Xu Ning looked at the two people going up the stairs back and forth, and remembered the kiss he accidentally saw last night, and the corners of his lips curled up meaningfully.

Wen Yun saw that Michael went upstairs, and there were only the three of them at the moment, so he naturally asked, "Xuning, how did you persuade Caleb to join us...and..."

"Also, do you know his identity? Is there really any problem in joining us like this?" Ji Luci simply continued, and this is exactly what Wen Yun wanted to ask.

In fact, apart from Yin Rang, Ding Heng wanted to find other people to join 'Shu' some time ago, so he mentioned this matter with Wen Yun, but he didn't find a suitable person for a while.

In the past two years, there have been a lot of missions that need to be dispatched by "Shu" in private, and they only have six people at most. Besides, the youngest Ji Luli, Yin Rang, Wen Yun and others naturally tried their best to avoid letting them fail again. Before the assessment in Area A, go out to pick up the task.

Therefore, Wen Yun and the other three can understand Ding Heng's desire to find someone to join 'Shu'.After Shu Yi and Michael came back together this time, Wen Yun heard him praise Michael's skill more than once from Shu Yi's mouth.Therefore, Wen Yun, Ji Luci, and Xu Ning together had the idea of ​​letting Michael join them.It's just... because of Michael's unknown identity and his own desire to leave, Wen Yun didn't mention this matter to Michael during breakfast this morning.

After hearing the two people's questions, Xu Ning just smiled, and then said, "You don't need to worry about his identity. In fact, I already noticed his identity early in the morning, and I just confirmed it thoroughly today. But... I promised him , keep it secret."

When Wen Yun heard Xu Ning say this, he didn't force him to ask why. In his heart, he still had 100% trust in Xu Ning.And Ji Lu Ci is the same.So, since Xu Ning said there was no problem, they naturally didn't have to worry.

But now, the 'Shu' who has become seven people, his life in the future is probably going to be much more exciting...

The author has something to say: Finally!Seven people~~!

There will be no shortage of roles in this seven-person mission, but the emotional line will also start to slowly progress~
