The old building was as dark and quiet as ever.
In Room 401 on the fourth floor, there was still a trace of warm light shining through the crack in the door.
Lu Xin When he pushed the door open and walked in, he was ready to meet his father's angry gaze.
But to his surprise, after opening the door and walking in, he saw a happy scene.
My sister was sitting crookedly on the sofa watching TV. What was playing on the TV was the same SpongeBob.
She also held a piece of black chocolate in her hand and was chewing on it.
As if she was worried about eating it all at once, she scraped it bit by bit with her sharp teeth. She could only scrape off a little bit each time, but she looked very happy and her eyes were bent.
Mom was on the phone by the window, with a smile on his face, "Oh, Miss Chen, you don't know, it's really good to go out for a walk as a family. It's good for your health and your mood is good. Besides, I met a good friend this time..."
"The flowers she grows are very beautiful. I will ask you to visit her together next time..."
"..."
Even my father was just sitting at the dining table at this time, guarding an old glass bottle and drinking wine slowly. It seemed that he had not drunk too much, and there was not much alcohol on his face. Even when he saw Lu Xin coming in, he just let out a "hum".
"Brother, you guys are so slow to come back..."
When my sister saw Lu Xin coming in, she immediately jumped on Lu Xin happily, and then stretched out her little hand to dig into his pocket.
Lu Xin let her search the last piece of chocolate from his pocket, picked her up with a smile, and put her on the sofa.
Fortunately, she didn't search her backpack. There were only a dozen yuan left in it...
Mom smiled and put down the phone and said, "I'm really late coming back. I've been waiting for you to eat!"
Lu Xin nodded and walked to the dining table.
I saw that at this time, the house had been tidied up, and the chairs that my father had broken in the fight with Mom had been repaired and placed neatly beside the table. There are some exquisite meals on the table. Although it looks the same as before, with mostly vegetables, it is obviously richer than before. At least there is a plate of scrambled eggs on the table near Lu Xin.
Lu Xin really like this feeling.
Entering the house this time gave him an unexpected sense of relief.
He sat down quietly and said with a smile, "When you are hungry, eat first without waiting for me."
"Hmph!"
My father, who was drinking, put down his glass heavily.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little depressing. Mom and his sister looked at their father at the same time.
Father seemed to have remembered something, curled his lips unnaturally, and said, "I know I'm waiting for you, so I'll come back early next time!"
Lu Xin felt relaxed, nodded, and said with a smile, "I know."
It turned out that my father was not angry this time either.
In other words, he had been angry, but this time he was in a much better mood than before.
"If our guess is correct, this should contain laboratory information about escape!"
Chen Jing picked up the last document printed with "003" and said slowly, "How important this document is. We all know that even the six professors in Research Institute do not have enough authority to know the contents, so we..."
"We don't let them know because they are too big-mouthed and don't know how to keep secrets."
Minister Shen said, "Everyone here knows it well, just open it!"
"Actually, Xiao Chen's worries are warranted!"
Mr. Su spoke softly and said with a smile, "We all know how much Eclipse Research Institute, or the alliance, values this escaped laboratory. We never thought before that this laboratory would actually come to us Qinggang City... Therefore, before we know this secret for sure, it is actually a very reasonable thing for us to unify our own opinions..."
Chen Jing nodded immediately after hearing this.
Professor Bai, who was sitting on the side, leaned on the crutches in his hands and said with a smile, "I think you all have misunderstood. Now we are not discussing how to treat individual soldiers. The individual soldiers are our Special Purity Department people. There is no need to discuss how to treat him."
"All we have to do is get to know him."
"So..."
He looked at Chen Jing with a smile and said, "Open it, we are not gambling now, we are just doing work!"
"This..."
Chen Jing opened his mouth slightly, but closed it.
She couldn't object to Professor Bai's words, so she remained silent and opened the document.
"After this trip, I feel very good and I have made new friends."
Satellite City No. 2, at the dining table, Mom said with a smile, "I can take more trips like this in the future."
"Okay..."
The younger sister, who was squatting on the chair, was the first to raise her hand.
Even the father just hummed, but this time the intensity of the hum was much softer, more like echoing this opinion.
Lu Xin also nodded. He also likes to see his family happy.
"However, there are some bad things that need to be criticized!"
Mom changed his voice, looked at his father, and said, "You have such a bad temper, which makes your family very nervous."
The father rolled his eyes, slightly red, and looked at Mom.
But Mom looked directly at him and said sternly, "A family should trust each other and help each other. If you do this every time, it will only make us no longer trust each other, and this family will break up. Therefore, I solemnly warn you, if you still don't get rid of this habit, then when the whole family goes out together in the future, you will never come with me again..."
"You..."
Father gritted his teeth slightly and leaned forward.
The room shook slightly, and the bloodshot eyes in his eyes were getting more and more, giving people a great sense of oppression.
But Mom did not waver, just looked at him coldly.
Facing Mom's eyes, his father unexpectedly fell silent.
In the end, he just gritted his teeth and sneered and stopped talking.
Looking at this attitude, it actually seems like he agreed...
...Lu Xin suddenly felt that maybe they were talking to themselves.
My father is not so easy to talk to, and he will not suddenly suppress his anger just because of Mom's eyes.
Then, it is possible that they had reached a consensus in the day and a half before he returned to Satellite City.
"Okay, it's your turn to say..."
At this moment, Mom looked at Lu Xin and said gently, "Mom knows that you are very curious and have many questions in your heart. Sometimes, you will want to understand these things., in fact Mom doesn't want to stop you. Really, just like what I told you when Happy Town, I support you to understand those things. After all, you have grown up and cannot remain confused..."
Lu Xin was slightly silent and raised his head.
Then he saw that his father and sister were also looking at him.
His father's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. He looked at him coldly, as if he was filled with hatred or... fear?
The younger sister's eyes widened, and all she could see was worry.
In the Main City building, Chen Jing has opened the file bag and opened it slowly.
Beside the conference table, the other three people were also slightly nervous. At the same time, they straightened up and leaned forward slightly.
They don't know what kind of secrets they will see, but they know the importance of these things to the entire alliance.
Especially Minister Shen, he knows the seriousness of prying into that person's secret. Although the last time was because the person still sent people to spy after he said no prying, this time, after all, there was no such statement...
But the worry in his heart never went away. With Chen Jing's movements, his heart seemed to have contracted...
Then, in their expectant eyes, Chen Jing was slightly startled.
Everyone's heart beat a beat.
In their nervous eyes, Chen Jing's eyes suddenly became helpless.
Then, she turned the document bag over and gently poured out a pile of paper scraps...
It was so broken that it was completely impossible to restore it.
"Okay, I promise you!"
In the apartment building, Lu Xin nodded slightly and showed a smile to Mom.
The atmosphere at the table suddenly became more relaxed.
The father continued to drink, while the sister ate and watched the TV.
Mom showed a smile on his face and said, "In this case, then it's time to give you this gift..."
She took out a document bag from the dining table with the word "003" printed on it. She showed it to Lu Xin with a smile and said, "This is a gift we decided to give you after discussing it. There are things you want to know in it..."
As she spoke, she stood up, put it in the drawer in front of the TV, and locked it in front of Lu Xin.
Then she put the key into Lu Xin's hand, held his hand, and looked at him tenderly.
"But remember, you can only watch it after you reach the second stage..."
"..."
Under the different gazes of the whole family, Lu Xin clutched the key tightly.
Then, he nodded seriously.
