[Love and Producer] Passive strategy

The rain has stopped.

Li Youxue hugged her knees and sat by the window by the bed, staring straight at the dark blue night outside the window, which made the street look more and more deserted.

——It was already past two o'clock in the morning, and she had no intention of continuing to sleep at all.It's not that I feel sad because of what happened during the day, after all, I had a faint feeling that there would be such a day before.

She sat there, she didn't know what she was thinking, she didn't do anything in her hands, the phone was also muted and the screen was thrown down on the bed, just hoping to be alone for a while quietly.

Suddenly, a gentle and indifferent question came from behind her. It was a voice she was so familiar with, asking her: "Why don't you rest?"

Li Youxue turned her head expressionlessly, and the moment she saw that Xu Mo was indeed standing beside the bed, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she almost felt dizzy.

"You..." She was about to ask "Why are you here", when she suddenly noticed that behind Xu Mo, the bedroom door was still locked tightly, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

——It turned out to be a dream.No wonder, she had already locked the door, how could Xu Mo pass through the wall and appear here.

She was thinking to herself, and watched Xu Mo silently. In fact, she was still confused: Even if it was a dream, when did she fall asleep?Why would she dream of Xu Mo again?Could it be...

——Could it be that she really likes Xu Mo?So it's only been a few hours since we broke up, and you already miss him?Thinking of this, Li Youxue instinctively shook her head in denial.

Seeing that she had been sitting there without any response, Xu Mo sighed, walked a few steps closer and sat down by the bed, beckoning to her: "Come here."

It was just a dream anyway, so Li Youxue got up obediently and slowly crawled towards him.It wasn't until she got closer that she noticed that although Xu Mo had no expression on his face, his pale and bright eyes were full of tenderness.

Noticing her gaze, Xu Mo smiled at her, then frowned slightly: "It's so cold, and it's been raining again. If you don't rest early, why don't you cover yourself with the quilt? Is it cold?"

Li Youxue shook her head, she really didn't feel the cold.

Xu Mo shook his head helplessly, and stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms.

The moment she fell into that embrace, Li Youxue couldn't help shivering - because of the warmth of that embrace that was so strong that it was almost scalding, she realized how cold she really was.

"It's so cold on your body, and you still say you're not cold?" Xu Mo let out a long breath, and pulled back his clothes to wrap her up. "How can I rest assured that you are like this. Didn't you promise me that you would take good care of yourself?"

——Why in the dream, this guy who said cruel words word by word, could say such sweet words instead?Li Youxue buried herself in his arms, quietly listening to his rapid heartbeat, without saying a word.

"I... miss you very much." Holding her face in his hands, Xu Mo murmured to her.

Li Youxue raised her eyes and looked at him in confusion, not quite understanding why the image of Xu Mo who was in love in the past appeared in her dream now - could it be that she is still nostalgic for the feeling at that time?

Xu Mo lowered his eyes and looked at her, his brows were full of obvious worry, and his pale pupils were stained with shocking sadness.

"I admit defeat, there is still nothing I can do about you." He whispered, gently raised her chin, and kissed her lips deeply.

Li Youxue was a little dazed, and silently closed her eyes.

——This kiss was as gentle and patient as in the past, his lips touched hers lightly, and the tip of his tongue tentatively licked every corner of her mouth, as if trying to feel her presence.

I don't know when it started, the hand on the back of the waist tightened more and more tightly, as if trying to press her into the chest.At the same time, he seemed to have gone crazy and bit her lower lip hard.

Li Youxue flinched slightly in pain, and felt his tongue immediately sweeping soothingly, dissolving a faint smell of blood in their mouths... Probably her lip was bitten.

She began to realize that something was wrong—if it was just a dream, why didn't the pain wake her up?

"I'm very happy." Xu Mo finally let go of her gradually, and fondled the center of her lower lip with his fingers, and there seemed to be pity in his pale pupils. "However, I should go."

... The dream is about to wake up?Li Youxue tilted her head, thinking vaguely, watching Xu Mo show a forbearing look, straightened her heavy black windbreaker, and stood up.

"Don't look at me with such foul eyes." Xu Mo looked at her for a while, then smiled wryly and raised his hand to cover her eyes. "Also, promise me that you can no longer be so defenseless. Not every dream is safe."

As the eyes fell into darkness, Li Youxue suddenly opened his eyes.

Only then did she realize that at some point, she was already lying on the bed with the quilt covered—could it be because she felt cold in her sleep, subconsciously?

Unconsciously staring at the ceiling for a long time, Li Youxue got up after realizing that it was already bright, and walked slowly to the bathroom to wash her face.

When she habitually looked at herself in the mirror, she froze in surprise.

——Her lips were slightly red and swollen, and there was a small cut in the center of her lower lip, stained with dried blood... That was where Xu Mo bit her in her dream.

Subconsciously touching the wound lightly with her fingers, Li Youxue endured the slight pain and gritted her teeth: "You scumbag who refuses to accept his full meal...wait for me."

……

Something happened in Love Language City.

A strange flu began to spread among the citizens—the patients were weak all over, had persistent high fevers, lethargy, which seriously affected daily life and work, and many seriously ill patients could not even get out of bed.

The entire urban area began to become lifeless and panic-stricken.

But Li Youxue observed that the people who got sick were not all people with low immunity like ordinary flu, but young adults and children—mostly men.

She began to have a very bad feeling.

Some of the company's employees were unable to survive the disaster and were admitted to the hospital for treatment. Li Youxue had no choice but to go to the battle in person to accompany the reporter to investigate the flu situation.

When passing by Xu Mo's research institute, she suddenly saw an announcement with the title - "Xu Mo Life Science Research Institute's Research Conference on the Prevention and Control of This Special Type of Influenza Virus".

The topic was very long, but when she glanced over it, she roughly guessed what it was: maybe, this flu had something to do with Xu Mo at all.

With this in mind, she carefully looked at the specific time and place of the press conference mentioned in the announcement before leaving.

On the day of the press conference, she specially brought a recording pen, paper and pen, and went to the venue—this press conference was purely open, and no identity verification was required to enter.

The venue was full of people, and some were squeezed aside because there were no seats.After Li Youxue looked around, she quietly disappeared into the crowd.

She didn't notice at all that Xu Mo, who just walked in the door, seemed to glance at her intentionally or unintentionally.

The press conference started soon, and a host with a completely unfamiliar face appeared on the stage: "Dear reporters and audience friends, I think everyone must be full of expectations for today's press conference. What will Professor Xu bring to us? What about amazing news? Let's welcome it!"

Xu Mo was standing beside him, wearing a black shirt and a white coat, with a badge tied with a blue braided rope on his chest, with a cold expression.

——I've never seen him without a smile in public, Li Youxue was a little surprised.

"Hi everyone, first of all thank you for coming." Xu Mo held the microphone in his hand and spoke lightly. "I am honored to stand here and announce that the new reagent has officially entered the research and development stage. This time, we will devote all our efforts, hoping to achieve results as soon as possible and minimize the impact."

His words were short but full of confidence, making everyone present unconsciously quiet down.

The media immediately jumped at the opportunity and started asking high-sounding questions.

Li Youxue stayed quietly in the crowd, watching Xu Mo respond politely one by one, and soon, it was time for the audience to ask questions.

"Hi, Professor Xu," said a man who was the first to stand up. He raised his tone and seemed a little excited. "My father is still in the hospital because of the flu. He said he hopes to come for human drug testing. Please refuse him!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell into silence.

Xu Mo thought for a while, and bowed solemnly to the man: "First of all, I respect your father. But," he raised his eyes, the dark purple pupils were deep and indifferent. "I'm sorry, I can't promise you—drug testing is indispensable for the birth of every new drug."

"But what if my father dies?" The man was taken aback, almost asking.

"The progress of science is actually constant sacrifice." Xu Mo said lightly, scanning the audience as if he didn't care. "Injuries or deaths in this process are all necessary to achieve greater progress."

There was an uproar at the scene, and people were whispering and discussing, appearing anxious and panicked.

This kind of atmosphere is obviously inappropriate, and even the host is a little flustered.But Xu Mo stood there steadily, not even the slightest change in his expression.

——He is almost stripping away the cruelest truth and exposing it to the eyes of the public.Li Youxue understood this very clearly, and became more and more confused about his purpose.

...but his point couldn't be more obvious.Every word he said is indeed reasonable-it's just that it will be difficult for any ordinary person who is not engaged in scientific research to accept it.

Li Youxue thought calmly, and it was almost certain that - even if Xu Mo didn't personally participate in this flu incident, he might be an insider.What's more, at that time in the building, she had foreseen the appearance of Xu Mo reaching out to touch the reagent bottle... She had to think that the two had nothing to do with each other.

She shook her head, turned and walked towards the entrance of the venue.

The microphone made a slight sound, and she heard a sound not far away, and Xu Mo seemed to ask with a smile: "Miss, are you dissatisfied with my answer just now?"

Li Youxue's hand was already on the doorknob. When she heard such a sentence, she subconsciously turned her head and met Xu Mo's condescending gaze.

And not only that, all the people present, including the reporter and the audience, even the host and the assistant on one side, have already looked towards her.

——The attention of all.

The author has something to say:

It's not easy for Xu Mo, he can only see the heroine in a dream.

Fortunately, the heroine is not leisurely, she can understand his cruelty, so she won't have to make trouble when he is already very tired.

Suddenly discovered that Youxue actually likes Xu Mo?
