"The surname is He, I smell it." Deng Mochi said.

Lu Ting stopped the hand that was about to pat him on the shoulder, "The smell of gasoline is rare, right?"

Deng Mochi looked over directly, but turned his head, without turning around, and did not let go of the strength on Lu Ting's waist.They kept embracing each other like this, and looked across the street more than ten meters wide together. The two figures approached and then walked away, and finally disappeared beside the grocery store at the corner of the intersection.

The two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding and never looked this way - at least that's how Lu Ting judged from his slightly blurred night-blind vision.

For a few seconds, he wished that Shu Rui could take a look around, discover and recognize him, and run over here to say hello, so that he could take a good look at Deng Mochi's appearance, which he usually praised whenever he got a chance. , Are you bragging?

However, Deng Mochi didn't have the slightest thought of recognizing He Zhensheng in the past. Lu Ting concluded that although on the surface they were harmonious and mutually beneficial in buying and selling, and had the so-called life-saving grace, there must be some festival behind the scenes that made Deng Mo Chi was distant and wary of him.That being the case, it was just right that they couldn't see each other, so there was nothing to regret about rubbing shoulders this time.

"The one next to him is my friend." Lu Ting still had a nasal voice, and he cleared his throat, "I can't get along with He Zhensheng, but I still know him."

Deng Mochi let him go, turned around and leaned against the game console, his posture was relaxed and comfortable, and he didn't show any disinterest. Lu Ting slid down from the console and stood next to him, and continued to introduce: "That person is called Shu Rui, my grandfather is a red-haired Italian, that is, the leather bag country on the Apennine Peninsula, and he inherited the big eye sockets and red hair from him." Realizing that the more he said, the more he said, the more he lost the point, he quickly corrected him: "He and I He grew up together, more than four years older than me, and he was better than me in everything except fighting. He always wanted to be a doctor when he was in school. He originally helped my sister. His father passed away a few years ago, and the family company also had him No matter, I'm so busy every day, and I'm also closed at the police academy, so I don't have as many contacts as before."

"It's called Shu Rui."

"Well, comfortable and comfortable, sharp and sharp."

"His family's company," Deng Mochi said again, "SHOOPP?"

"Yes, it's the one who is engaged in electrical products. He's always on TV. I'm a celebrity now."

Lu Ting closed his mouth after saying this.Because some past events that have been labeled "unsuitable to touch" in his heart are surfacing.In fact, before the separation, SHOOPP was just a technology company under Lotus. Shu Rui's father, Shu Peiyuan, served as the chief engineer, and the initial investor was Lu Ting's own father, Lu Bingyi. Lotus is an out-and-out hegemonic group. the absolute controlling shareholder.

The two of them used to be a good story. Two lunatics met when they were young. One came up with ideas and the other paid money. They did all the "craziest" things in the 21st century. Ethical issues are always questioned by the public, but this pair of "old friends" have been firmly tied together for half of their lives, so the differences and breakups 13 years ago are also hard to believe.Back then, the media followed and reported for several months, inferring that the two would shed their suspicions and cooperate again.

However, SHOOPP is gone forever, Shu Peiyuan abandoned all his original efforts, destroyed all contracts, and started electricity in an ordinary way.Lu Bingyi did not pursue responsibility, but did more colorful things than when he was young. All his products are or were completely inseparable from this planet. They sent him to Qingyun and became a member of the Federation president.

This breakup did not have much impact on the relationship between the descendants of Lu and Shu.Especially after Shu Peiyuan's death, Shu Rui was often invited to Lu's house to spend various festivals happily.Young people gathered together to chat and gossip. Shu Rui once concluded that if someone recalls this "turbulent friendship" in the future and picks out the most exaggerated and crazy common product of their two fathers, it must be an artificial human.

They brought low-cost labor, absolutely obedient servants.Anything that humans don't want to do can be done by artificial humans.

Regarding this idea, Lu Ting did not agree or disagree at the time, but felt uncomfortable. He remembered that when he was very young, he hid in his father's huge and empty office and played hide-and-seek with the nanny robot. Through a crack in the door, he saw the newly mature The experimental subject turned his back to him, standing naked in front of his father, his weak legs could not stand upright, and his whole body was wet.

That "person" tried to reach out, and also called his father "Dad", but within a minute, Lu Ting saw that his father, who was dissatisfied with the results of the experiment, shot his head in pieces.

Blood splattered on the wall, which was metal and was quickly wiped clean.Blood also splashed on the secretary's snow-white front. The secretary bent down, stuffed the dead test subject into a sealed bag, and dragged it out.

Lu Ting waited quietly until his sister came to pick him up, and quietly got on his special small spaceship full of toys.After returning home, he stared in the mirror for a while and began to vomit violently.

After a while, the second-generation artificial human project, which had been in operation for more than ten years, was also announced to be suspended, and it has never been restarted since then.

Now Lu Ting looked at Deng Mochi who was beside him. Deng Mochi walked with him on the street at night, illuminated by colorful lights like him, lowered his head, and seemed to be thinking about something again, but he didn't pull away. Lu Ting inserted his hand into the pocket of his jacket.Lu Ting didn't even want to look at the road, so he kept looking at him.Because of the things passed down in his genes, he is biologically classified into a special group, and because of the imprint on his neck, he is also dubbed "artificial" in society.But Lu Ting refused to define it in this way, without even thinking about it.

It's not because Deng Mochi is a so-called descendant, who came into this world with "the way of human reproduction", as if there is an extra layer of buffer in terms of morality.Lu Ting was too lazy to discuss morality.This person is alive and by his side. Even if he was born from a nutrition capsule, or even from the welding machine used by the first generation of artificial humans, Lu Ting would not feel any difference.

What Shu Rui said at the time was wrong.

The three words artificial man have always focused on "human", not "artificial".

As long as people exist in this world, they are not products.

Not to mention the scars of human relations or great achievements that should be talked about by future generations.

Lu Ting stuffed the box with the remaining game coins into Deng Mochi's bag. He walked quickly, leaving his mind full of thoughts, and focused on pulling people to find food. Finally, he chose a Southeast Asian restaurant that specializes in curry.When Lu Ting made this choice, he considered many aspects - this dish is rich in nutrition, it must be a flavor that Deng Mochi has never tried, and the consumption level is relatively normal, similar to yesterday.In this way, the treats will not be too extravagant and wasteful, making him look like the kind of peacock eager to open its tail.

Facts have proved that the selection effect is good. Compared with yesterday, Deng Mochi's appetite has only increased, and he likes green curry and chili grilled fish the most.When Lu Ting asked the waiter to add more dishes, he felt a kind of mysterious pride in his heart. It is a good thing to be able to eat, and he feels good when he is full, he thought so.Seeing Deng Mochi put down his chopsticks, curiously tore open the lime slices on the grilled fish and took a bite, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, Lu Ting immediately couldn't sit still, he added a portion of sweet coconut jelly with a suppressed smile Give people an acid relief.

Deng Mochi ate a whole slice of lemon in a few mouthfuls, and commented objectively: "It tastes amazing."

Lu Ting couldn't laugh anymore, he suddenly felt distressed again, maybe many people with high levels of dopamine are so ups and downs. "How do you feel now?" He pushed the coconut shell bowl in front of Deng Mochi.

"My eyes are sore, I want to cry." Deng Mochi sniffed, and didn't move the dessert spoon. To be precise, he didn't move, as if he was mobilizing his whole body to savor the bitterness in his mouth at this moment, and remember it.

Lu Ting also sniffed, and the lemon was sour in his eyes: "Boss, have you never cried?"

"How could it be?" Dun Mochi's body relaxed a little, and he bent his eyes less obviously, looking down at the tooth-white fan-shaped dinner plate, "It's just not in recent years."

Later, in the bathroom dedicated to Omega on the second floor of the restaurant, Lu Ting squeezed a thick stack of paper towels to wipe his sticky underwear and leg heels that were kissed by the long kiss on the game console. It was difficult to dry them completely, and he was thinking about Deng Mochi again. .This is probably taken for granted.Just now those eyes were moist but smiling, a little honest, a little shy, it was really hard to forget, he couldn't help thinking about Deng Mochi crying, it should be very beautiful, but if he really wants to see it, Lu Ting Not too willing.

It's better not to encounter bad things that are so sad that you want to cry.

In order to prevent his naked butt from thinking too much about what to do in this small cubicle, Lu Ting quickly pulled up the waist of his trousers and tightened his belt, flushed his face with cold water for 2 minutes, and ran back to the restaurant in a panic to find someone.

When Deng Mochi saw his ridiculously red cheeks, his expression was calm.

After the meal, Lu Ting returned to his usual state, and the two said goodbye at the bus stop. Lu Ting found the traffic police office in Mingyue City alone, and took his spaceship back before they got off work.After returning to Aldebaran, it was past ten o'clock, Lu Ting reported to Deng Mochi that he was safe: I am home, you have been running all day today, so go to bed early.

At the beginning of eleven o'clock, Deng Mochi sent a message: I'm asleep.

Lu Ting gave back a thumbs up in seconds.

He didn't take a shower the night before, and Lu Ting's living habits made it impossible for him to last another night, but he didn't want to get rid of all the rusty smell, so he didn't throw his clothes into the laundry pipe, except for his underwear, he planned to Wear it the next day.

Lucy reminded: "Mr. Cosmic Powerful Monster, the new autumn clothes you ordered last week have been delivered today. There are a total of 23 tops and [-] bottoms. Don't you want to try it?"

Lu Ting was working on the projection in the bedroom at the time. He didn't want the cluster of galaxies to stay in his quiet storage room anymore. He wanted it to float above his bed, and to reach the hut hundreds of kilometers away. some kind of synchronization.

Hearing this, he replied, "Can you smell his pheromones on everything?"

Lucy: "...the concentration is not enough, I'm sorry."

Lu Ting lay on the bed and looked up at the floating "ruby", comfortingly said with a smile, "It's okay, I know you're stupid, so don't be discouraged.

Early the next morning, a spaceship sent a signal requesting a visit, hovering just below Aldebaran's belly cabin.Lu Ting had to stop shooting practice, looked at Shu Rui's severely sleep-deprived face on the visitor display, opened the shutdown door, and said yes, you, I just have something to ask, so you came to the door.

"At the range." He broadcast on Lucy.

"I knew it," Shu Rui's voice was so hoarse that it was almost unrecognizable, "the police haven't taken you in yet?"

"It's so annoying. Is there anyone in the personnel office of the fourth district? If this continues, I will start my own business." Lu Ting said, and fired two more shots in a row.He has punched a round hole in the ten rings of the moving target paper.

Shu Rui laughed loudly, his laughter no longer transmitted through electrical signals, but directly penetrated the air and entered Lu Ting's ears.He has already pushed open the door of the shooting room: "How do you set up your own business and register as a police station?"

"No, be an independent policeman and arrest people by yourself." Lu Ting threw away the empty magazine and replaced it with a new one.

"You're an independent bandit and bully, and your co-workers will come to arrest you." Shu Rui stood by the edge of the wall, still smiling.

Lu Ting finally turned to look at him.His complexion was better than usual, and his golden bangs were quite disheveled. It was the same outfit he saw on the street last night, but his trousers were wrinkled and his tie was gone. "The doctor didn't go home to catch up on sleep during the holidays, so he came here to take care of our little shit?" He also said happily.

"Hey, put the gun down first."

Lu Ting shrugged his shoulders, "clicked" on the safety catch, and sat and leaned halfway on the edge of the table, with his right leg on the ground and his left leg resting on his right leg.

Shu Rui's smile flattened, and his expression faded: "Last night, in Mingyue City——"

"You saw me."

"Of course, I really regret going that route."

"Oh, I see, you did something wrong. Did that armed ship go to catch you?"

"How could it be that when you said hello in the past, didn't you feel embarrassed? Now you are covered with a smell that was temporarily marked by Alpha," Shu Rui raised his eyebrows, "Is it really the smell of rust? It has enough personality."

Lu Ting coughed twice: "You also have a smell all over your body now, much stronger than mine, like a permanent mark."

"Is it that obvious?"

"I feel like I'm at a gas station. I don't dare to shoot a target anymore. It's not good if sparks burn," Lu Ting stopped joking, and suddenly became serious again, "But aren't you an Alpha, and you still threaten to marry a beautiful Omega? I My sister took it seriously and has been looking for you."

Shu Rui stuffed his trouser pockets with an unnatural expression: "This matter is more complicated to talk about, so don't mention it to Dr. Lu."

"Then you want to tell me?"

Shu Rui took out the e-cigarette and took two deep breaths: "I don't want to. It's OK to talk about privacy when you're so grown-up. Don't talk about the pure love between you and your peerless beauty."

Lu Ting frowned: "Damn, you are not forced, are you? The police are by your side."

Shu Rui chuckled: "That's not possible!"

Lu Ting was even more puzzled: "Then you like that silver-haired man with a knife hidden in his smile?"

Shu Rui almost choked on his cigarette, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with the long string of names. He bit his cigarette holder, looked at Lu Ting, and nodded: "Maybe it's love."

Lu Ting's teeth were so numb all of a sudden, rubbing his cheeks, he said: "It's nice to be in love with each other. I saw him smiling and you were cold, and thought you were hurting others—"

Shu Rui suddenly interrupted his sigh: "For him, I am the mating partner who is always available, that word, ****, he only likes Alpha, and he is a **** madman."

Lu Ting was taken aback.Shu Rui usually uses elegant words, and rarely says such bitter words. He is always afraid of appearing pitiful in front of others, so he always tries his best to act like he is lifting weights lightly. Lu Ting has discovered it a long time ago.

He still looks so calm now, and said: "It's not bad, I'm too tired from work, and I need to vent."

Lu Ting approached, handed him a bottle of MSG drink, and patted him on the shoulder: "Actually, I know that person. His name is He Zhensheng, right? My boyfriend, my boyfriend-to-be, is an old friend."

Shu Rui took the drink, but continued to smoke: "Old friends? He Zhensheng has many old friends, and I am one of them."

Lu Ting asked: "Is he a very dangerous person?"

Shu Rui thought for a while, then turned his face to look at Lu Ting: "I don't know. But for doctors, patients always want to die, so it can indeed be said that they are dangerous patients."

Lu Ting was even more surprised.On the one hand, Shu Rui is He Zhensheng's doctor; on the other hand, He Zhensheng wants to die.

But I heard Shu Rui say again: "Seven years ago, he was seriously injured and tied to his body by a child, and he was sent to the hospital in the fifth district on a motorcycle. I was an intern in the lower hospital at that time, and I knew that he had a plane crash and lost a broken arm. There are many spinal contusions, but he survived in the end." After a pause, he continued, "After two years, Mr. He became an iron arm and was admitted to a hospital in the special zone. Unfortunately, I was in that hospital again. The hospital is on duty, this time he attempted suicide."

Lu Ting's attention was all attracted by the kid on the motorcycle. He knew that it was Deng Mochi.But he didn't plan to mention it to Shu Rui for the time being. To some extent, he felt that this was Deng Mochi's private matter, and he couldn't say it quickly.

"So you are willing to catch up with me again?" Lu Ting wanted to see if he could get some other information.

"Okay, I still need something to eat. You definitely won't make it for me. Go out and find a place." Shu Rui looked at the toes of his shoes with a cigarette in his mouth, and suddenly shouted, "Fucking Yes, my waist and butt hurt so much, I hate He Zhensheng, I want to drink!"
