Eat First or Eat First?
Chen Lin: "I don't know if the captain has a foreign girlfriend, but he certainly has quite a few foreign enemies."
John laughed the loudest, "Because the gossip didn't say whether the captain's girlfriend was male or female, my colleagues even asked me if the captain liked me, it almost made me die laughing."
Lou Yu a forced smile, his eyes flashing with purple light. "Funny? Is it?"
Several people. "..."
"I'm suddenly so hungry, I'm going to the kitchen to find something to eat."
"Me too, me too, we're all in this together."
The group slunk away.
That evening, Lou Yu stroked Tao Qiu's face in the photo, thinking that if Qiuqiu knew she was being mistaken for a foreigner, she would probably make a lot of sarcastic remarks.
Thinking of Tao Qiu's lively and adorable appearance, Lou Yu's lips curled up, and his heart felt as sweet as if it were filled with honey.
Even if the secret is exposed, it doesn't matter. Anyone who dares to harm Tao Qiu will be dragged down to hell, even if they die.
The gossip about Lou Yu had naturally reached the ears of those who were constantly watching him, and they even reported it to their superiors, saying that if they wanted Lou Yu to return to the Central Base, perhaps they could start from this angle.
That day, Lou Yu was on the night shift. The last stop of his patrol was very close to their team's accommodation, so he planned to walk back.
The others weren't going the same way as him, and by the time he was halfway there, he was all alone.
Arriving at the entrance of an alley, Lou Yu slipped inside.
Within seconds, three people appeared where he had just walked, and they ran into the alley. But unexpectedly, it turned out to be a dead end, and Lou Yu's figure disappeared.
"Where's Lou Yu?" one of them asked in a low voice.
The other person quickly realized what was happening. "Oh no, we've been discovered! Run!"
The three of them turned to run away at the same time, but when they turned their heads, they saw that Lou Yu had already appeared behind them without them noticing.
Lou Yu's eyes were cold. "Where do you want to go?"
After three screams, Lou Yu continued walking towards home. Near the alley, three men with their hair singed lay sprawled out.
The three were taken back by their accomplices, and the doctor they brought in was amazed after examining them.
"Don't even think about working in the fields for the next six months. They showed them mercy; otherwise, they'd be three charred pieces of charcoal by now."
Lou Yu wasn't being overly sympathetic; he just didn't want to provoke these guys. Both he and Lou Quan had to keep a low profile and couldn't directly offend the Lou Family, giving them a reason to cause trouble.
These three followed Lou Yu hoping to uncover some secrets, but unexpectedly, they were given a good scolding by Lou Yu. After this incident, Lou Yu will at least have some peace and quiet for a while.
These people couldn't help but sigh, "A superhuman? They really are superhumans. Whether there are three people or ten, it makes no difference to them."
Moreover, Lou Yu's control over his superpowers is so precise that many superpowered individuals who awakened earlier than him might not be able to do it as well.
No wonder the higher-ups always want Lou Yu back. He's a powerful weapon in their hands, but outside, he's a major threat.
They reported this matter truthfully.
After reading the report, the key figures in the Lou Family were delighted but couldn't help but sigh with admiration.
Lou Yu and Lou Quan are the two most promising children of the younger generation in the Lou Family, but they are also the most rebellious and disobedient, stubborn and independent.
Lou Quan nearly killed his own father and several siblings. Afterwards, he abandoned the power and wealth he had already obtained and went to take over the position of commander-in-chief of a backward satellite base. Not only did he achieve results in just a few years, but he also seemed to have done a lot of big things behind their backs.
As for Lou Yu, not only did he cause trouble in his own family, forcing his parents to divorce, but he was also distant from his own father. Later, he even hid his identity to participate in the Shen Family's awakening experiment. What was his purpose in seeking justice for his comrades? He personally assassinated Fourth Young Master Shen, the person in charge of that project at the time.
Lou Yu's father didn't value this son much either; when Lou Yu got into trouble, he showed no intention of helping him.
It was Bai Yan who came looking for him, and the Lou Family and several other families, because Lou Yu exposed the Shen Family's evil deeds and thus obtained the research method for the Awakening Reagent, were able to work together to save Lou Yu's life from the Shen Family, only expelling him from the Central Base.
On the surface, Lou Yu has broken ties with the Lou Family, so even knowing that Lou Yu not only survived by stabilizing his supernatural abilities but also possesses a special method to rapidly enhance them, the Lou Family cannot use kinship to force him to return.
They're family, yet they still have to scheme against each other.
One of them sighed, "If Lou Qing hadn't disagreed, and we had threatened Bai Yan's life, I don't believe Lou Yu wouldn't have returned. Come on."
"Lou Qing is too rigid. Putting aside the fact that Bai Yan has already divorced him, even if we used Bai Yan to threaten Lou Yu, we wouldn't really hurt her; we'd just have her cooperate in a charade."
"Sigh, there's no hope with Bai Yan. Didn't the new intelligence say Lou Yu is in the Central Base? He had a foreign girlfriend and still can't forget her. Why don't we go find that girlfriend of his?"
Chapter 79 Should we eat first or first?
The Central Base? Those people's ulterior Lou Yu are still unknown to them; they continue their lives as usual.
However, the head of the planting area and the research team on grain seeds were visiting Lou Quan's office more and more frequently, and the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense behind the scenes.
This summer's temperatures were also high, but still within the normal range.
Tao Qiu and her children had long since removed the mattresses and were sleeping in the cooler grass nest. The grass nest was quite large, and the children, wearing only their little underwear, would often be next to Tao Qiu before falling asleep, but would run to the edge of the nest to squeeze in as soon as they woke up.
In the middle of the night, Tao Qiu woke up with a start, her face and neck covered in sweat, her cheeks flushed with an unusual blush, and her pale green eyes gleaming with an ambiguous light.
He sat up. The three kids had already rolled to one side and were now fast asleep, their bottoms sticking up.
Tao Qiu glanced down at the vibrant scene, then quietly got up, walked out of the cave, flew to the bottom of the valley, and strode into the pool with his long legs.
The pool water was icy cold, which relieved much of the summer heat and also suppressed some of the internal heat.
Tao Qiu leaned back on a rock in the pond and let out a comfortable sigh.
He closed his eyes, recalling the intense and unforgettable entanglement he had just experienced in his dream.
In his dream, he and Lou Yu were tightly embracing and kissing passionately in the car, oblivious to everything around them. Just as they were getting into it, they suddenly heard a knock on the car window. Turning around, they saw their three little ones standing outside the window, staring at them with wide, curious eyes.
He even asked, "Dad, what are you doing?"
Tao Qiu was immediately startled awake.
Because he usually exercises a lot and expends a lot of energy, and because various things in life take up his attention, Tao Qiu actually rarely has this kind of dream.
The reason things are like this tonight is probably because of the TV series I watched during the day.
When the two main characters get married, some intimate scenes are inevitable. The children were also there at the time, and when the scene showed the red curtains sliding down, he quickly skipped it.
He told the kids that what was about to happen was inappropriate for children, and the kids obediently didn't clamor to watch. But he himself couldn't help but start guessing what would happen next.
Then, as if lost in thought, I dreamt about it, and that's how it turned out.
The last time I solved it manually was three months ago.
Tao Qiu wasn't obsessed with this kind of thing, but he wasn't averse to it either. Feeling the guy's renewed vigor, Tao Qiu put his hand into the water.
He looked up at the stars in the night sky, estimating the time. Lou Yu should be here in a few days.
Since they both have partners, why should they compromise themselves? They are both young and strong, so they should naturally satisfy each other's needs.
Thinking of Lou Yu's appearance, Tao Qiu finished the problem half an hour later, washed her hands, and then went back to her straw nest to sleep.
On the day Lou Yu was scheduled to leave the base, not only those at the Central Base, but even ordinary citizens were watching him.
Everyone's gossip instincts were burning, and they were all speculating whether Lou Yu could regain favor.
The Central Base? Those people had a different focus than them.
"I've inquired about it. Lou Yu always goes into the wilderness alone. Does he think he can do whatever he wants just because he has superpowers?"
"But he really does come back safely every time; the Snow Bird even escorts him home sometimes."
"Wow, his luck is just unbelievable."
"That's for sure. Being born into the Lou Family means you've won at the starting line from birth."
Seeing the conversation veering off course, and knowing they were all subordinates of the Lou Family, the leader spoke up to correct them, "Have all the spies at the gate been arranged? We must thoroughly investigate when Lou Yu returns, and see if there are any incriminating materials in his car."
With the boss speaking, the others quickly dropped their sour remarks and replied, "It's all arranged. As long as Lou Yu brings things back, he won't escape our notice."
"However, Lou Yu knows we're investigating him, so he probably won't bring anything back this time."
"What if he's taking a chance? We can't let any possibility slip by. If it weren't for the dangers of the wilderness and the risk of being discovered if we followed him, we'd be fine. What about Lou Yu's secret?"
The others sighed as well. They didn't have Lou Yu's connections. If they went out and Lou Yu found out, that would be a minor issue; encountering a mutated monster would be a real problem.
Just as these people guessed, Lou Yu's purpose in coming out this time was only to see Tao Qiu, and he had no intention of bringing back materials and crops.
Today, only Tao Qiu and his three sons were in the valley. Upon hearing the car horn outside, their expressions changed.
Tao Qiu was excited and delighted, while the children were numb and helpless.
That despicable Lou Yu, he's trying to steal their dad again.
Today? They won't pity him anymore, no, they won't!
Eldest Cub: "Dad, remember to get Lou Yu plenty of food."
Second Cub: "It's hot, remember to bring him a bottle of cool water."
