Since there was only one day before leaving for Main City, Lu Xin made good preparations.

There aren't many things to pack.

He only has two sets of clothes to change, both of which are very clean but can be worn for a long time.

Then he packed up his toiletries - a toothbrush, a half-used tube of toothpaste, a piece of soap, and a towel - and his bag only became slightly bulging. They were simply put together and could be picked up and left at any time.

As for the set of combat uniforms, combat boots, etc. issued by the Special Purity Department, there is a special flat box for storage.

There is no need to drive the motorcycle there. Lu Xin plans to send it to the Guard Department and find someone to watch it.

After doing this, the remaining things are naturally relatively simple. The first is to ask for leave from the company.

I asked Han Bing in advance and she said that this meeting would need to be held for three days, but to be safe, she should prepare for seven days.

Lu Xin understands what she means by being safe, and it is very likely that the second phase of his affairs will be completed together.

Therefore, I found Director Liu and reported to him.

...Director Liu's surprised reaction at that time was something Lu Xin really didn't expect.

... Not only did he approve his leave, he even specified that it was paid leave!

...Director is such a nice person.

The second thing is to go to Crimson Moon Orphanage.

I haven't seen Teacher Lu since I came back from the last trip out of the city.

This time I am going to Main City to stay for about a week. Of course, I have to tell Teacher Lu in case I cannot be found in case of emergency.

Riding his motorcycle, he came to the orphanage near the Guard Department, and Lu Xin slowly went upstairs.

At the corner of the third floor, I met the security guard who was sitting on a small mazaar reading a newspaper.

He looked up from behind the newspaper, glanced at Lu Xin, and nodded. He continued reading the newspaper as if he hadn't seen him, but subconsciously turned his body slightly inward. Lu Xin saw that there was now a small potted plant placed on the wall behind him.

There is a lonely little flower inside, blooming pitifully.

"Huh?"

As Lu Xin went upstairs, two children who were playing with glass balls on the staircase platform raised their heads. When they saw Lu Xin, a wicked smile appeared on their little faces. Before Lu Xin could say anything, they ran upstairs with a "swish" sound.

While running, he shouted "My boyfriend is here", "My boyfriend is here"...

"Ah this..."

Lu Xin blushed all of a sudden. When he saw they dropped a glass ball at their feet, he picked it up and put it in his pocket.

Not ready to give it back to them.

Among a group of small faces that looked like they were visiting, Lu Xin walked into Teacher Lu's office.

It was his first time coming to this place, but the eyes of those little guys directly pointed the way to him.

Teacher Lu was eating with a lunch box. When he saw Lu Xin coming in, he put down the lunch box. Lu Xin took a sneak peek. Inside the lunch box was stewed winter melon and tofu mixed with a little rice. It was the same as the leftovers from the little guys outside.

However, the little ones could still see diced meat in their bowls, but Teacher Lu's lunch box only contained winter melon and tofu.

"Why are you here today? Don't you have to go to work?"

Teacher Lu smiled and turned the wheelchair, then took the book and closed the lunch box.

"I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, so I'm taking this afternoon off."

Lu Xin explained with a smile and took a look at the small office.

"Going on a business trip again?"

Teacher Lu was slightly surprised. "Where are you going?"

"Actually, it's not a business trip. It's just a trip to Main City, which lasts about a week."

Lu Xin explained with a smile, "Main City is very safe."

"Main City..."

I thought Teacher Lu would be relieved, but unexpectedly, after listening to Lu Xin's words, she didn't know what she thought of. There was no happy expression on her face, and she didn't ask Lu Xin why she suddenly had the opportunity to enter Main City, but she remained silent.

"Main City There are a lot of things. Is there anything you want to take with you?"

Lu Xin had no choice but to break the silence and asked with a smile.

Teacher Lu shook his head slightly and said, "No... just come back soon."

Lu Xin nodded, and then he didn't know what to say.

Usually he talks less in front of Teacher Lu, but Teacher Lu talks more.

But this time, Teacher Lu seemed to have something on his mind and spoke less, so the atmosphere naturally became more silent.

"Come out with me. I'll discuss anything with you."

Lu Xin thought for a moment and suddenly said something to Teacher Lu.

Teacher Lu raised his head and glanced at Lu Xin, then a smile appeared on his face and he nodded, "Okay."

So Lu Xin thought about it, and then pushed Teacher Lu to the corridor. Looking at the long steps, he thought for a while, then leaned down and picked up Teacher Lu. After that, there were shouts of "hug" and "hug". Lu Xin blushed and hugged her very steadily, while Teacher Lu blushed and glared back at Lu Xin's shoulder.

"Wow..."

The hooting sounds suddenly dispersed and became much less frequent.

"Uncle Zhang, if I come back late, I will watch them do self-study, copy "Diary of a Madman" three times, and I will come back to check."

When passing by the third floor, Teacher Lu said to the security guard.

"Haha, okay, there's no need to come back in a hurry."

The security uncle agreed with a smile, folded up the newspaper, and then went upstairs to help her get the wheelchair.

Lu Xin went downstairs first and carefully placed Teacher Lu on the back seat of his motorcycle. At this time, the security uncle also moved Teacher Lu's wheelchair. Lu Xin carefully folded it up and hung it on the other side of his motorcycle.

In this place, there was originally a metal box hanging, which seemed to be some kind of mechanical dog or something.

If you don't need it for the time being, take it off first and let the security guard look after it for you.

Slowly starting the car, Lu Xin drove Teacher Lu into the street of Qinggang City.

Although Lu Xin was already driving very slowly, Teacher Lu was still very nervous and kept clutching the corners of his clothes tightly.

They didn't talk along the way, and went straight to the east of Satellite City, in the direction of Qingyan Mountain.

After arriving here, Lu Xin found a place to park the car, opened the wheelchair, and then sat down with Teacher Lu in his arms.

Slowly pushing the wheelchair, they walked on the path here.

"Look, how big is the house here?"

As he walked, he said with a smile, "I went into one of them. There are many rooms inside, and the living room is spacious. It can be used as a classroom. There is a garden and a pool outside. You can dig up the garden, plant some vegetables, raise a few chickens, etc..."

"And it's far away from the west of the city. There are fewer people around and it's... quieter."

What he actually wanted to say was that if a large-scale Mental Pollution incident occurred in a place with few people, it would be safer. However, after considering the current Mental Pollution incident, very few people knew about it, and he was afraid of scaring Teacher Lu, so he did not speak out directly.

"Oh my, you are different now than before. Have you started thinking about a house in the villa area?"

Teacher Lu was in a much better mood. He turned around from the wheelchair and looked at Lu Xin with a smile.

"During this period, I worked very hard and saved a little money..."

Lu Xin smiled sheepishly and said, "And I've asked someone to ask. The price of the house here seems to be five... five or six hundred thousand. Although it is a bit expensive, I think it will be better if our orphanage is built here."

"Hey..."

Teacher Lu heard the hesitation in his words and said, "Five or six hundred thousand? Do you think I am a fool? The house here..."

She thought about it seriously and said seriously, "At least one million!"

"Yes, yes, almost..."

Lu Xin nodded with a smile and said, "When I buy him, you can move here!"

Teacher Lu didn't answer. He was silent for a while and then said, "Will you also live here by then?"

Lu Xin didn't know how to answer this question, so he just pushed her to walk slowly.

Teacher Lu seemed to have thought of something. After a while, he softly said, "Why are you so nice to them now?"

Lu Xin thought slowly and said, "Didn't the dean often tell us at that time?"

"Although we are young, we represent hope."

"As long as we have expectations for civilization in our hearts, then we can definitely go back to the kind of life he said, where we can eat meat for every meal, watch movies, listen to songs, play games, and don't have to do so much homework..."

"Now, those kids are the same, right?"

He said slowly, "We must be as kind to them as the dean was to us at that time."

Xiaolu Lao listened to Lu Xin's words and didn't answer for a long time.

Lu Xin Suddenly found that her shoulders were trembling slightly. He was startled and turned to her. He saw that her face was covered with tears from unknown time. He hurriedly squatted down and said nervously, "What's wrong with you?"

Teacher Lu raised his sleeves, wiped his tears, and looked up into Lu Xin's eyes. "Come here."

Lu Xin hurriedly got closer to her.

Teacher Lu looked at him seriously, his eyes were red and his expression was a little serious. "Tell me, what are you going to Main City for?"

"This... is just a meeting."

Lu Xin hurriedly explained, "There's really nothing else. It's very safe. I'll be back in a week."

Teacher Lu was silent for a while and then said, "Is it true?"

Lu Xin thought about the "second stage" and was slightly silent, but he didn't tell her and nodded.

"Actually, I already knew this would happen."

Teacher Lu didn't say whether he believed it or not. After a while, he said softly, "Before, one of your colleagues came to find me. She was very nice. Originally, I was very worried about what you were doing, but that person made me think that maybe they were..."

"It's different!"

"So, I don't want to stop you, but..."

She suddenly raised her head and held Lu Xin's hand tightly. "You must promise me one thing."

Looking at her very serious and even nervous expression, Lu Xin nodded hurriedly.

"Don't put all the pressure on yourself."

She said softly, "Back in kindergarten, I was the one who helped you fight with bricks, do you remember?"

Lu Xin Hearing this, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

He also vaguely remembered that Teacher Lu was very tough when he was a child. Most children who grew up in the disaster were like this.

"Besides, you never owe anyone anything, you know that?"

Teacher Lu said, slowly lowering his voice.

It could be heard that her voice was slightly nervous, but she spoke very seriously. With a pair of clear eyes, she looked firmly at Lu Xin's face and said, "You don't owe anyone, including me. I have carefully kept accounts of the money you have sent me over the past few years..."

She repeated firmly, "You didn't do anything wrong."

"..."

Perhaps Teacher Lu's eyes were too firm, which made Lu Xin feel slightly dizzy.

He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the gray sky. At this time, in the southeast sky, there was already the shadow of Crimson Moon.

"I don't know what will happen to you in the future or where you will go..."

The palm of the hand was held by a soft and warm little hand, and Teacher Lu's voice became softer.

He said in Lu Xin's ear, "But you will always, always remember how to come back, okay?"

"You can't forget about us, okay?"

"..."

Lu Xin The feeling of dizziness is getting worse.

In fact, he didn't quite understand why Teacher Lu told him this.

But just when the dizzy feeling was about to amplify, he suddenly felt a figure coming up and touching him. His cheek was touched by something soft and slightly moist, and then the figure quickly retracted as if he was running away.

"Plop"

Lu Xin's heart beat violently, and he turned his head to look at Teacher Lu in surprise, his face gradually turning red.

Teacher Lu also blushed, but still pretended to be nonchalant. "This is a kiss for the children, don't think too much."

"I..."

Lu Xin opened his mouth and wanted to say a lot, but what came out of his mouth was. "Can I kiss you back?"

Teacher Lu's face suddenly turned red, and he tried to keep a straight face. "No."

"..."

Lu Xin nodded regretfully. "Okay!"

It's the end of the month, and I'm watching other people's tickets go up, and I feel a faint sense of panic...

Gege Wu is launching a sponsorship event for Alliance Leader. Alliance Leader sponsors two hundred, silver sponsors two thousand, and gold sponsors twenty thousand... The numbers are scary... If you are interested, you can find the operations officer.
