Location: Moon Platform, old building, Room 401.
Event: The third family meeting was held
This type of family meeting has been held twice before.
At the first meeting, the Lu Xin family discussed and determined that Lu Xin would enter the second stage and then watch Document 003.
The second family meeting was held after seeing Document 003 and confirming that Chen Xun was still alive. At that meeting, Lu Xin's family decided to visit Central City's relatives, and inadvertently solved the "God Creation" incident of Black Table.
Now, the third family meeting has begun.
When the lights are not turned on, it always looks a little dark, but when the lights are turned on, the light always seems a little dazzling. Inside Room 401, the TV has been turned on, and the gourd baby is now on. A baby on it is shouting, "My head is not made of dough."
There are several dishes on the dining table, which are much richer than before.
There is a plate of fried shredded cucumbers, a plate of spicy fried clams, a bowl of radish and shrimp soup, four bowls of rice, and a bottle of wine.
Participants: Mom, father, sister, Lu Xin.
There was also a skinless puppy huddled under the table. I don't know if that counts, but it just refused to leave.
"Whether it's sleeping in the wilderness or in a Central City hotel, it's not as good as home."
Lu Xin smiled happily. He cooked today's meal, bought wine for his father, and even poured him a glass. While holding up the bowl, he slowly ate the meal and said casually, "But now that I'm back in such a hurry, my work will be done soon. What Dr. An said before at Central City, I don't know how true or false..."
After a slight pause, he asked curiously, "Is the problem of the abyss rift really so serious?"
The younger sister and father both looked at each other, then turned to look at Mom.
Mom seemed to have a more elegant temperament. She sat in front of this dilapidated old house and the old dining table, which always gave people a feeling of being out of place, but her expression was still as gentle as before. After listening to Lu Xin's words, she put down the chopsticks in her hand, chuckled, nodded, and said, "From Research Institute's perspective, of course this is very dangerous."
"Even if we don't apply the crack theory of the study, we can understand it from the perspective of pollution. If a pile of garbage is left there and no one takes care of it, it will get dirtier and dirtier. What's more, it's like Pollution Source? It's inevitable that the longer it is delayed, the worse it will become."
"..."
Lu Xin picked up a chopstick dish and said while eating, "If this is the case, then we really can't ignore it."
"No matter what Research Institute is thinking, as long as you are doing the right thing, then I should do my part."
"After all, that's what I do."
He pointed at the dishes on the table with his chopsticks and said, "The dishes we buy are all bought with their salary."
"Haha, you make millions in one trip, but you only buy food like this?"
The father sneered, raised his glass and drank half the glass of wine.
Moreover, he only drank wine and did not eat vegetables, which seemed to be a way of expressing his protest.
Of course, it might be because he wasn't hungry, because the kitchen behind him was already filled with unknown meat. Lu Xin didn't know where the meat came from. In short, he saw it as soon as he entered the door. His father might want to enjoy it alone.
"It's better to save money and spend it..."
Lu Xin said slowly.
He knew that his father was talking about how he made two and a half million by reselling information once, and he was a little embarrassed.
Although I can make a lot of money like this, my heart is not very secure.
He has decided that such a thing will happen in the future.
Do less.
Thinking in his mind, he smiled and comforted, "And you see, we now eat two kinds of seafood in one meal."
Listening to Lu Xin's explanation, the atmosphere on the table was a little awkward.
Even my sister looked at Lu Xin strangely.
Can clams and shrimps be considered two types of seafood?
"This time you go out, you have already thought of a lot of things."
Most of my father's body was sunk in the shadows, and his head was slightly lowered, his eyes were sunken and cold:
"If that's the case, then you want to continue to live such a miserable life?"
"In the past, you threw all the money you earned in orphanages because you felt you owed them."
"What now?"
"You forgot how she behaved when you left here..."
"..."
Lu Xin's hand, which was about to pick up the food, suddenly stopped.
He didn't speak or show any reaction, just paused slightly.
Mom immediately cast a complaining look at his father, waited a moment, and then chuckled softly, "What are you talking about?"
He said and smiled at Lu Xin, "Have you decided yet?"
Lu Xin continued to pick up the vegetables, put them in his bowl, nodded slightly, and said, "This is my job after all."
Mom smiled, and then looked at his sister.
Squeaky Chicken was playing with Squeaky Chicken in his hand, and his attention was only on the younger sister on the TV. Suddenly, he was caught by Mom's gaze, and he immediately reacted. I don't know if she understood what was being discussed, but she just raised her little hand. "Listen to brother."
Lu Xin nodded with satisfaction.
Central City When I came back from this trip, my sister seemed to be more obedient than before.
She has her own thoughts and opinions.
... Listening to my brother in everything is of course a thought and opinion!
He had expressed his stance, and so had his sister, so Lu Xin took advantage of the situation and looked at his father.
Usually my father likes to play devil's advocate, but this time, when he met Lu Xin's gaze, he suddenly smiled and said in a low voice, "I didn't like that monster from the first time I saw her, and I wanted to tear her to pieces. It's just that you didn't want to join me at that time. Now that I have an honest reason this time, of course I'm going to tear her hive to pieces and have a good time."
"This matter needs to be managed, but my opinion does not necessarily mean tearing her apart..."
Lu Xin added, and then looked at Mom.
He now feels more and more that Mom's opinion is the most important.
The smile on Mom's face did not change at all, only gentle and delicate, and asked softly, "Are you sure?"
Lu Xin frowned and said, "That's the problem."
After a moment of silence, he said, "Actually, I don't know if I am sure. I usually do things that are presented to me. This is the first time I have taken the initiative to go to someone... I always have the feeling in my heart that I am a bad person who stirs up trouble."
My sister and father immediately looked directly at Lu Xin.
Then my father laughed "hehehehe".
"In this case, let's not think about whether we are sure or not."
Mom looked at Lu Xin with a smile and said, "There is something else you need to know."
"Research Institute is not lying. It's not just the restricted areas, but also the pyramid they mentioned."
"..."
"Pyramid?"
Lu Xin Unexpectedly, Mom's topic suddenly turned to this, and he was slightly startled.
My sister, who was distracted watching TV, suddenly turned her head and looked at Lu Xin with a somewhat excited expression, her lips touching her ears.
The tall father also slowly turned around.
There was blood red floating in his eyes. It seemed that he was very excited but suppressed at the same time.
Mom's expression was still calm, elegant and calm, but there was a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth. He looked gently into Lu Xin's eyes and said, "Yes, the pyramid exists, and you are indeed already on the pyramid, so your family will naturally support you when you want to deal with work. However, when you encounter the serious things you should do, shouldn't you also work harder?"
Listening to Mom's words, my sister's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she pinched Squeaky Chicken hard.
The father chuckled, and the light bulb above his head began to swing gently, making the light in the room sway.
"I really have to leave..."
Lu Xin spoke as if he was a little embarrassed, but he didn't know why, but a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
It's a smile that can't be hidden.
"Of course..."
Mom said gently, "It's not just for my family..."
"I know you. With your temper, how could you like the feeling of being stepped on?"
"..."
Lu Xin Hearing this, he was silent for a moment, and then raised his head.
With a gentle smile on his face, he said softly, "Actually, I don't know the use of walking up these steps."
Mom was silent at this time, and his father had a sneer on his face. His sister was also affected. She held Squeaky Chicken in her arms, looking left and right. She leaned in the direction of Lu Xin, but seemed to feel something was wrong, so she leaned in the direction of Mom.
The skinless puppy under the table quietly stretched out its head, took a look, shivered, and then put it back.
The atmosphere in the room became depressing at some point, and the air seemed to have solidified.
"But since you all think you should leave..."
Lu Xin smiled and continued, "Then it doesn't matter if you just walk for a while."
Then he glanced at Mom and said, "Actually, you're right. I really don't like being bullied."
Mom looked at Lu Xin's expression, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face:
"Yes, I know you are an honest child and don't like to bully others, but it's okay for others to bully you..."
"Hehehehe..."
The father sneered, as if with some sarcasm.
But what was different from usual was that he used to be good at hiding sarcasm with a smile.
This time, it was more like using a sarcastic appearance to cover up the true happiness and excitement in his heart.
Only the younger sister also smiled subconsciously, but her smile was a little forced. She tilted her head and looked at Lu Xin.
"That's it?"
Lu Xin smiled and said, "You have to do the work that needs to be done, and you have to take the steps that you need to take?"
Mom smiled and nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and his father filled the glass with wine and laughed.
The family members exchanged glances and the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.
Whether family meetings need to be decided by a show of hands, one glance can tell each other.
"Woooooooo..."
A small whimper came from under the table, it was a skinless puppy.
As half of the participants, of course he was in favor.
... The main thing is that it is not qualified to disapprove.
