Lu Xin was silent, his expression seemed a little hollow.
In fact, he could feel that Teacher Lu was afraid a long time ago, but he just didn't want to think about it.
But now that I see the fear on her face, I still feel sad.
Even he himself couldn't tell whether he felt sad because he saw that Teacher Lu was afraid of him, or whether Teacher Lu was already feeling scared, but still forced herself to come and comfort her sad expression.
He didn't know why, Teacher Lu was more afraid of him than the dean?
This was originally the question he wanted to ask, but now...
Certain data has popped up on the lens of her left eye, showing that her mental fluctuations are very strong.
The mental level of ordinary people is only about 10 points. Under normal circumstances, their own mental radiation is almost undetectable, but when these glasses have already reacted, it only means one problem. She is already in extremely strong emotional fluctuations. Perhaps, as long as the pressure is slightly increased, she will collapse directly because of this matter...
How could I force her again?
Lu Xin tried hard to put a smile on his face, although the smile might be stiff.
"I knew I was quite fierce, and I'm scary when I lose my temper..."
He tried to make his voice calm and funny. "Look, I scared you."
"Yes... yes."
Teacher Lu is also working hard and wants to cooperate with Lu Xin at this time.
But no matter how hard she tried, her smile could never return to the way it was before nothing happened.
Two people trying so hard to make each other feel like they're okay end up being clumsy and awkward.
"Forget it..."
Lu Xin sighed lightly, stood up slowly, and said to Teacher Lu, "I have to go to work in the afternoon, I'm leaving first."
"You may have to wash the dishes yourself..."
"..."
Teacher Lu seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she could only nod.
Lifting the bag, Lu Xin slowly left the office, feeling depressed.
Raising his head slightly, he saw a group of small eyes holding rice bowls looking at him in the corridor and the classroom next to him.
Children with good ears may have heard the cry of Teacher Lu.
"Big Zhuang, what's wrong?"
A child with a sniffling nose secretly asked a child with a red nose.
The red-nosed child took a deep look at Lu Xin and said meaningfully, "We had a quarrel."
"Huh?"
The sniffling child was startled and looked surprised. "Then I have a chance?"
"You didn't."
The red-nosed child glanced at him and said, "You can't even afford candy."
Lu Xin passed through the group of whispering and curious eyes, and slowly went downstairs. When he reached the corner of the third floor, a small table was placed in front of the security guard. On the table was a plate of shredded potatoes and a salted duck egg, and he was holding a small wine cup in his hand.
He drank slowly without raising his head, as if he was not talking to Lu Xin, and said in a low voice:
"Don't get me wrong, it's not you she's afraid of."
"..."
Lu Xin looked back at the old man, nodded, and continued going downstairs.
As I walked on the street, the pale sunlight shone overhead, and Lu Xin felt a sense of emptiness in my heart.
He first went to the Guard Department, took out the motorcycle he had stored here, and rode it all the way, wandering aimlessly on the street.
After all, motorcycles burn oil, so he rarely has the luxury of driving around. But today was different. For a while, he didn't even want to save money anymore. However, he quickly stopped in a square...
... After all, motorcycles burn oil.
He sat on a bench in the square and slowly smoked a cigarette.
On a bench not far away, there was a couple who looked very intimate, so sweet that they seemed to be stuck together.
The boy hid a rose in his satchel behind him, as if he was preparing to perform a magic trick.
Lu Xin glanced at them with some envy.
But he soon lost his envy, because he saw a third person appearing between the two.
That was my sister. She squatted on the back of the chair and looked at the two people.
Soon her eyes lit up and she tore off the other party's Rose Flower flaps with a wicked smile.
"Da da da dong..."
The boy swung his arms exaggeratedly and thrust a bare rod into the girl's face.
He was stunned, and the girl was also stunned for a moment.
Then, one of them got up and left angrily, while the other hurriedly chased after him, explaining constantly.
Lu Xin's mood suddenly improved a lot.
"Sister, I didn't get the answer I wanted."
When his sister came and squatted next to him, Lu Xin exhaled a thick puff of smoke and said softly, "Actually, when I came to ask Teacher Lu, the answer I wanted most was that she told me that the dean is actually a very good person, and those things were all my random thoughts. But in the end, I didn't get the best answer, nor did I get a generally bad answer. I got the worst answer..."
"So she was so... scared."
My sister hugged Lu Xin's arm, rubbed her little head, and said, "I'm not afraid of you."
Lu Xin smiled and did not expose his sister.
"Want to hang out again?"
After pondering for a long time, Lu Xin suddenly asked his sister with a smile.
The younger sister was startled for a moment, tilting her head to look at him with some confusion.
Lu Xin raised his head, looked in the direction outside the Satellite City wall, and said, "There are still people alive in the orphanage. Isn't this a good thing?"
"And that information said that even Old Director might be alive..."
"I do have a lot of questions in my mind. I want to know what happened back then, and I want to know if all the damned people are dead... Of course, if not all the damn people are dead, I don't mind letting them go through what they have to go through again..."
"..."
When he said this, his face was very calm, as if he was recounting a small matter.
But the younger sister who was holding Lu Xin's arm looked up at Lu Xin's expression warily without blinking.
Lu Xin was silent for a moment, as if he felt that he was not in a good condition.
After a while, his face showed a smile again, he was very kind, and said, "All in all, I am actually very happy now. The original orphanage was like a big family, so everyone in the orphanage was our family. It's okay if I didn't know about it before. Now that I know that there are still people in this family alive, how can I not go and see if he is doing well?"
"As for these questions in my heart..."
A bright smile appeared on his face, "When I say hello to him in person, he should be happy to tell me, right?"
"..."
My sister's eyes gradually brightened after listening to his words.
She suddenly hugged Lu Xin's neck hard and said, "Brother, brother, do you know?"
"Actually, we have been waiting for you to make this decision for a long time..."
"..."
Lu Xin finally laughed happily after listening to his sister's words.
Looking up, he saw Mom nodding and smiling at him in a high-end restaurant on the second floor next to the square.
Even his own shadow beside the bench seemed to be twisting a little abnormally.
There was a deep laughter, hehe.
When doing a major event that requires going out, it stands to reason that a family meeting should be held to discuss it, but after listening to his sister's words at this time, he knew that this time he didn't even have to wait for a family meeting, and the decision could already be finalized.
To do this, the first step is of course: ask for leave.
Lu Xin took out his satellite phone from the bag and dialed Chen Jing.
Chen Jing answered quickly and in a calm voice, "What's the matter?"
Lu Xin was in a good mood and greeted with a smile, "Good afternoon, team leader."
"... Hmm."
Chen Jing was silent for a moment, his voice became gentler, and he said again, "What's the matter?"
"This..."
Lu Xin wondered in her mind whether she was actually busy now, but as soon as she saw her phone, she immediately stopped all the work at hand to listen to what she wanted to say. I feel a little embarrassed in my heart, and what I have to say makes me even more embarrassed. I quickly typed up my draft and then said, "Well, I'm making this call because I want to... take a leave of absence."
"Ask for leave?"
Chen Jing was a little surprised. "Aren't you on your routine vacation after the mission?"
"Yes, yes."
Lu Xin had no choice but to think seriously again and explained, "But these few days are probably not enough. I need... to ask for a few more days."
Chen Jing seemed to frown and said, "How many days?"
"... Almost."
This question made Lu Xin a little difficult to answer, so he had to say, "It's hard to say now."
Chen Jing paused and said, "Why are you asking for leave?"
"This..."
Lu Xin thought for a while and said, "Private matter."
Listening to his brief answer, Chen Jing's voice softened a little, and after a while, he said:
"You have made a great contribution in helping Qinggang resist Sea Nation's attack. Calculated based on your contribution points, you can go directly to Qinggang Level 4 Special Talent anyway, and Qinggang Level 4 Special Talent can already enjoy Qinggang's special care. Therefore, even if it is a private matter, you can make a request, and Special Purity Department will help you as much as possible."
"I'm afraid this won't work."
Lu Xin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Because of this private matter, I need to go out of the city to handle it."
Chen Jing was a little surprised. "Where to go?"
Lu Xin thought for a moment and said, "Central City."
"Central City..."
Chen Jing Over there, there was obviously a moment of commotion and panic, and it seemed that many people made sounds in surprise.
This surprised Lu Xin: There are so many people over there?
Chen Jing After a while, the voice sounded steadily again, "Can you tell us the reason why you went to Central City?"
"This... is not convenient."
Lu Xin was too embarrassed to refuse the leader, so he had to tentatively say, "After all, it is my private matter, is it okay if I don't talk about it?"
"Of course, I shouldn't have asked in the first place."
Chen Jing responded quickly, said a little apologetically, and then returned to a calm working mode, saying:
"If you ask for leave, it can theoretically be approved."
"However, you have not handed in the mission report this time, and you have not accurately recorded the corresponding changes after the second phase. Also, now you are in fact Level 4 Special Talent. According to regulations, no matter where you want to go or what you want to do, you should submit a paper application, and Special Purity Department will provide you with certain security guarantees and information support."
"Ah this..."
Lu Xin thinks what the leader said makes sense, but feels that the call he made was too abrupt.
After a while, he whispered, "Then I will go back and write the mission report for this time, and then... make up for the application for leaving the city?"
"Okay."
Chen Jing smiled and said, "In the application materials for leaving the city, you need to tell roughly how far you need to go, the time you need to leave the city, the supplies you need to apply for, etc. Because there are still many places outside the wall in chaos. For you who have only experienced a short trip out of the city, it is still very dangerous, so it is best to have a professional help you with a plan and even training."
"Of course, this will also help us arrange for someone to replace you at Satellite City No. 2."
"..."
After saying this in one breath, Chen Jing pondered for a moment:
"By the way, in addition to what I'm talking about now, do I need to help you arrange a driver in advance?"
She smiled and said, "After all, the person who made the temporary arrangement last time had a lot of opinions when he came back, so this time..."
"... We can notify him in advance."
More updates, you guys were so awesome yesterday.
