Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

"bump!"

"Wow!"

Li Shen stood by the glass window with cold air in his hands and looked sternly at Shen Xinghui who was confronting him with a lightsaber.

The atmosphere between the two was extremely tense, as if it was about to explode.

"who are you?"

Shen Xinghui frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

When he heard the faint footsteps behind him, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, forming a sly smile.

"Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking others?" He asked with a smile, his eyes fixed on Li Shen in front of him, as if trying to find some clues from his expression.

Who is this man who suddenly appears in the partner's house?

"I am Xia Jiumeng's friend." Li Shen said lightly.

"Friend? Why have I never heard her mention it?" Shen Xinghui's eyes were full of suspicion.

"Now it's your turn to answer my question." Li Shen looked at him calmly.

Shen Xinghui's heart sank. He could feel the powerful aura emanating from the man in front of him. He was definitely not simple.

"I'm her partner." Shen Xinghui paused, glancing at the wall clock that had fortunately survived. "A 'friend' showed up at a 'single' girl's house for no apparent reason and attacked her. I have reason to call the police."

Shen Xinghui emphasized the importance of being single and having friends.

"Oh? You're just ordinary 'colleagues'. You have even less right to be in her house than I do. Or do you have ulterior motives?"

Li Shen's words were as sharp as ever.

The already tense atmosphere instantly became even more tense.

Shen Xinghui's light evol wrapped around his lightsaber, making him look ready to strike.

Li Shen was not to be outdone. Ice-type supernatural powers surged throughout his body, and the biting cold made Shen Xinghui frown.

When Xia Jiumeng came out of the workshop, she saw the confrontation between the two and the messy living room as if it had been swept by a storm. She couldn't help but be stunned.

The destructive power of these two people...

Turning around and looking at the two people who still wanted to continue fighting, she quickly walked to the middle.

"Li Shen, Shen Xinghui, what are you doing? Stop it! Stop it now!"

When Li Shen heard Xia Jiumeng's voice, he regained some of his sanity, but he still stared at Shen Xinghui with hostility.

Seeing this, Shen Xinghui took the opportunity to put away his lightsaber, took a few steps back, and kept a certain distance from Li Shen.

"Jiu Meng, who is he? Why is he here?" Li Shen's tone rarely showed a hint of obvious emotion.

Xia Jiumeng explained: "He is the guest I invited, my partner and senior."

"We are discussing something about genetic drugs..."

After hearing Xia Jiumeng's explanation, Li Shen realized that he had been a little impulsive.

But when he woke up and wanted to find her, he saw another man in her house, and she was smiling at him so happily.

At that moment, his heart felt like it was sinking into an icy cave. An uncontrollable emotion made him lose control of his emotions and he couldn't help but take action.

"Sorry... I thought he was mean to you."

Xia Jiumeng: Do I believe it or not?

Forget it, just believe it.

However, Shen Xinghui looked at Li Shen provocatively in a place where Xia Jiumeng couldn't see, expressing his disdain for his poor excuse with his eyes.

When Xia Jiumeng turned around, Shen Xinghui looked back and shook his head gently, indicating that he didn't care, and extended his hand in a friendly and proactive manner: "Hello, my name is Shen Xinghui, I'm Xia Jiumeng's partner, nice to meet you."

Li Shen looked at Shen Xinghui's outstretched hand and hesitated for a moment, "Li Shen..."

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the atmosphere between the two of them had eased, but her blood pressure rose again when she saw the scene at home.

Her home!

Just renovated!!!

Or all high-end materials, what is the result?

Still couldn't stand the disruption from two men with such great destructive power.

80% of the furniture and decoration was directly damaged, and even the synthetic metal materials in the walls were leaking out!

Xia Jiumeng was so angry that she laughed, and couldn't help but comfort herself in her heart, it's okay.

At least the house wasn't completely demolished.

She had previously thought that the scene of these men meeting would definitely be a world war.

After all, they may seem doting and gentle, but their possessiveness towards her will definitely not tolerate any sand in the sand.

So she was always careful to avoid being touched by them.

Unexpectedly, two of them met each other.

Forget it, it’s okay if it’s just to demolish the house.

Xia Jiumeng kept persuading herself in her heart.

Seeing her obviously bad mood, Shen Xinghui and Li Shen realized what they had done.

The tense mood between the two disappeared without a trace in an instant, and they felt guilty.

It seemed like they had...destroyed her newly renovated home.

Li Shen was the first to react. He took out his cell phone from his pocket and sent a message to Guan Xuan.

Li Shen: My friend's house needs renovations. Could you please help me contact them?

Guan Xuan: ???

It's amazing! This is the first time Dr. Li has contacted him for personal matters.

Guan Xuan: Okay, what's the address?

Director Li needs him!!

[Li Shen: Positioning.gjp]

[Guan Xuan: No problem, I'll be there right away!]

"Sorry, I asked someone to call the renovation team."

"Partner, I'll make a new sofa for you." Shen Xinghui secretly thought that Li Shen was cunning, and immediately looked at Xia Jiumeng pitifully and said.

Seeing them like this, Xia Jiumeng couldn't bear to say anything to them. She could only sigh and say, "Forget it, it's okay."

"Let's clean it up first and see if there's anything else we can take."

It turns out that men’s anger can be just as destructive as women’s.

The two men who had made a mistake followed suit and cleaned up.

Half an hour later, they looked at the saved record in silence.

Li Shen’s notebook is scrapped, but it can be saved after some repairs.

Xia Jiumeng’s hunter watch = half scrapped, but still able to communicate.

Shen Xinghui = Nothing.

Xia Jiumeng shook her head helplessly and walked into the kitchen to prepare dinner. She decided to turn her grief into appetite and enjoy a good meal.

Fortunately, the kitchen is next to the workshop, so they didn't fight here.

Shen Xinghui and Li Shen looked at each other, glared at each other, and then hurried in to help.

"I come."

"I come."

The two of them rushed to speak.

Xia Jiumeng felt a little warm in her heart as she watched them take the initiative to help.

Before long, a sumptuous meal was placed on the table.

"Wow, the dishes made by my partner look so delicious!" Shen Xinghui said to Xia Jiumeng with shining eyes.

"Forehead..."

Xia Jiumeng was embarrassed. In fact, she didn't cook anything for this meal. She just made some simple stir-fried cabbage.

"Try the sweet and sour pork ribs I made." Li Shen ignored Shen Xinghui and picked up a piece and put it in Xia Jiumeng's bowl.

The three of them were sitting around the dining table, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious for a while. Although the previous misunderstanding had made the house a mess, the atmosphere at this moment made Xia Jiumeng feel very warm.

Both men were the ones she loved, and the way they were having dinner with her made her feel a little like home.

After dinner, she thought that since the two men had already met, it would be better to be open and clear about it instead of hiding from each other and meeting the other one.

[Master, there is no system of multiple partners in this world.] Xiao Qi reminded him at the right time.

Xia Jiumeng: .....

That's a bit tricky. She loves each of them and can't let go.

[Actually, Master, don't worry. Judging from the population growth in this world, a multi-partner system may emerge in the future.]

Xiao Qi shared what he had found through the data. Due to the shrinking of stray bodies and living environments, the human population was decreasing sharply, and the number of newborns was plummeting.

Not to mention that the fertility rates of many human women are also decreasing due to certain strange energies and pollution from many substances.

"Let's talk about it later. Now is not the right time to deal with feelings."

Xia Jiumeng replied.

She knew very well that her current situation was not good.

Each of them also shoulders his own responsibilities and missions, and now is not the time to be sentimental.

Besides, no one has made their current relationship known, so it’s not easy for her to expose it.

It would be better to wait until everything is settled before thinking about this issue.

However, a voice deep in her heart told her that by then, the ending might not be as good as she wished.

For her, she absolutely could not give up any of them.

Because she knew that their love for her was so deep and unforgettable.

Choosing one or the other would cause harm to them, which is obviously extremely unfair.

Xia Jiumeng silently gathered her emotions, then looked up at them and said softly, "Shen Xinghui, Li Shen, you two are equally important to me.

"I'm truly sorry for letting you meet under these circumstances."

She paused, then continued, "But I don't want to see any conflicts or contradictions between you."

Xia Jiumeng's words silenced the two men who disliked each other.

After a long time, Li Shen spoke first, "Of course I will respect your colleague." His voice was low and firm, with a hint of imperceptible stubbornness.

Hearing this, Xia Jiumeng turned around and glanced at Shen Xinghui. After all, the eye contact they had just had was too intense to ignore. If it happened again, half of Linkong would probably be gone.

After hearing him say, "I listen to your partner."

She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But Shen Xinghui quietly leaned close to her ear and said, "But you have to promise me one thing..."

Li Shen frowned when he saw his action, and reached out to pull Xia Jiumeng away. "Men and women shouldn't touch hands."

Shen Xinghui pulled her other hand and asked, "Then why are you holding her?"

The two men looked at each other and said at the same time: "Let go!"

Xia Jiumeng, who was caught in the middle, said, "......"

He simply raised his hands and struggled to separate the two men's hands.

"OK OK."

"It's getting late today. What are your plans?"

Li Shen looked at his phone and said, "I have to go to work two hours early tomorrow, so it's not convenient to go back now."

Shen Xinghui narrowed his eyes. This man wants to live in his partner's house?

If I remembered correctly, he had just come out of the guest room next to his partner.

Shen Xinghui immediately said, "I have a guest room at home. If you don't mind, you can come and rest at my house."

Li Shen gave him a cold look and said, "I don't like going to strangers' homes."

"Also, my evol seems a little strange." Li Shen said as an ice flower condensed in his hand and looked at Xia Jiumeng.

Xia Jiumeng just realized that Li Shen had just woken up after activating his special ability, and he probably didn't know what had happened yet.

"Li Shen, come with me."

As she spoke, she pulled Li Shen towards the workshop.

"Li Shen, lie down here. I'll examine you."

"it is good."

The camera above the recliner emitted a red light and scanned Li Shen from head to toe.

Li Shen's Xia Jiumeng sat beside him and looked at the data on the display screen.

"Your evol has become a superpower, and you've also awakened your second superpower, healing."

"But your powers are very unstable right now. I need to inject you with energy potion."

"it is good."

Li Shen, who was about to get up, lay down again and pulled up his sleeves.

Xia Jiumeng stood up and took two level 2 energy potions.

The awakening of the second superpower requires a large amount of superpower. The reason why Li Shen’s superpower is unstable now is probably the energy deficit caused by not replenishing energy.

The problem is not complicated, just replenish your energy and have a good rest.

"Li Shen, this energy potion requires a deep sleep state to be fully absorbed, so I added some sleeping ingredients."

"I'll call you tomorrow when you're at work."

Li Shen thought for a moment and nodded, "I understand."

Xia Jiumeng loaded the syringe and looked at Shen Xing, who was standing in the distance, and replied, "Come and help."

"Okay, okay." Shen Xinghui was stunned for a moment when his name was suddenly called.

"Li Shen will fall asleep immediately after the injection. Please help him to the guest room to rest later."

"it is good."

Although he didn't like Li Shen, he still listened to Xia Jiumeng's words.

"Pfft."

As the medicine was injected, Li Shen instantly lost consciousness.

"I'll help him over." Shen Xinghui reached out and took the initiative to help Li Shen up and walk out.

Walking into the living room and looking at the guest bedrooms next to the master bedroom, Shen Xinghui decisively chose the farthest one and threw Li Shen up there.

"Aren't you going to settle him down?" Xia Jiumeng asked Shen Xinghui who had returned.

"Yes, it's settled."

Shen Xinghui nodded slightly, looking at Xia Jiumeng who was making medicine with some curiosity, "What are you doing?"

"The solution to your genetic abnormality has been found. I'm working on a neutralizing potion."

After saying this, Xia Jiumeng turned around and took Shen Xinghui's hand.

“But there’s a problem.”

Shen Xinghui keenly sensed something was wrong and squatted down to look at her. "What's the problem? Tell me."

"The neutralizing potion will restore your immortal genes to those of an ordinary person. This process may be very painful. You..."

"I'm fine."

Xia Jiumeng felt a little distressed when looking at this man who trusted her wholeheartedly.

But if he doesn't use a neutralizing agent to restore Shen Xinghui's genes to normal, he won't be able to inject the genetic medicine.

And his original body will gradually follow the same fate as other Philosians, from losing control to mutating and finally becoming a monster.

This is what she doesn't want to see.

"Okay, it's getting late today. I'll make the potion in the next two days. Let's rest first."

Shen Xinghui nodded obediently. "I'm worried about you having someone else at home. Can I stay today?"

Xia Jiumeng was stunned, then thought of something and pulled him up.

"Okay, fortunately the guest rooms are still good."

"You can pick any one, the infrastructure is there."

There are simple bathrooms and cloakrooms.

"Okay, you should also go to bed early."

Shen Xinghui followed her obediently and watched her close the workroom and return to the master bedroom.

"Good night."

"Good night."
