Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

After Qi Yu parked the car, he immediately walked over quickly. Xia Jiumeng looked at the man walking hurriedly in the distance. Perhaps because he walked too fast, his cheeks flushed a little.

"Let's go, the store is nearby, follow me."

Qi Yu walked up to her and said.

This street is very prosperous, so many people come here to shop every day. Looking at the dense crowds on the street, Qi Yu subconsciously frowned slightly.

He doesn't like crowded places.

Xia Jiumeng noticed his emotions and took the initiative to reach out and grab his sleeve.

Meeting Qi Yu's gaze, she explained, "There are so many people here, I'm afraid we'll be separated soon. Let me hold your sleeve."

Although she wanted to hold hands, she thought about their current relationship and decided to be more reserved.

So as not to scare him.

"Okay." Xiaoyu, who was originally feeling a little uncomfortable, suddenly felt much better after seeing her actions.

The two smiled at each other and walked into the commercial street.

When we arrived at the seafood restaurant that Qi Yu mentioned, we saw quite a few people already queuing up.

After getting a number, they sat in the waiting area set up by the restaurant.

“This store is doing really good business.”

"Of course, this is the place I chose." Qi Yu boasted a little arrogantly.

"Yes, yes, the place chosen by our great painter Qi Yu must be the best."

The stinky little fish is also very cute~

The waiter called out, "Number 43!"

"It's our turn." Xia Jiumeng pulled Qi Yu to the front desk and gave the queue number sheet to the waiter.

"Hello, please follow me."

The waiter led the way with a smile. Xia Jiumeng and Qi Yu followed the waiter to the seats by the window and sat down.

Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window is a sparkling sea surface, like a huge silver mirror. The sunlight sprinkles on the water like broken gold, shining with dazzling golden light.

"Wow, so beautiful." Xia Jiumeng couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Qi Yu looked at her with a smile, "She is indeed beautiful."

At this time, the waiter brought the menu and asked if they wanted to order. Qi Yu took the menu, looked at it carefully, and handed it to Xia Jiumeng.

"See if there's anything you want to eat."

Xia Jiumeng took a look and ordered a few special seafood dishes.

Waiter: "OK, please wait."

While waiting for the food to be served, Xia Jiumeng and Qi Yu started chatting.

"Qi Yu, didn't you say a while ago that you were busy with an overseas art exhibition?"

"Why are you suddenly a teacher again?"

Xia Jiumeng looked at him curiously.

Qi Yu pretended to have a headache when he heard her say that. "Oh, don't say it. It was originally like this, but the school has been contacting Old Tang."

"Old Tang refused at first, but couldn't stand their constant interruptions, so he agreed."

"Is that so? Won't that delay you?"

"No, that exhibition won't start for a long time."

While they were talking, two waiters came over pushing a cart with two glass jars on it.

"Sorry to bother you." One of the waiters apologized first.

"Here are the ingredients for your order. They are all cooked fresh in our restaurant. You can take a look."

After saying that, he made some room so that Qi Yu and Xia Jiumeng could see the seafood in the glass tank clearly.

All I could see were the tiger shrimps, abalone, and other fresh creatures still swimming around.

“It’s really fresh.”

Qi Yu suddenly moved closer to the fish tank and whispered, "I'm going to eat you~"

Xia Jiumeng: “???”...this childish ghost.

waiter:"??"

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Qi Yu looked at the seafood in the fish tank that was motionless and withdrew his body.

Perhaps noticing their strange looks, Qi Yu coughed lightly and asked, "When will the food be served?"

The waiter immediately replied, "It will be ready in about 40 minutes."

"Ah."

"Then we won't bother you two anymore. We'll go prepare your meal. Please wait patiently."

After saying that, the two waiters pushed the food cart away.

"Qi Yu, why did you say that just now?"

"I just wanted to see if they could understand me."

Xia Jiumeng wanted to complain about him, but then she remembered that Qi Yu was the god of the sea and had the ability to communicate with marine life.

"Did they understand?"

"No, they are too stupid to understand what we say, so they can only be eaten." Qi Yu made a funny expression while saying this, and Xia Jiumeng couldn't help laughing.

Qi Yu seemed to have never been sad in front of her and was always sunny and cheerful, but she knew that this was just a disguise of a little fish in front of her.

The destruction of one's homeland, surviving in the cracks of a hateful and unfamiliar world, and even gaining the fame one has today is not easy.

He even planned to find his tribesmen to avenge his family.

He must be very tired and lonely carrying so much on his shoulders...

Suddenly she said without thinking, "Qi Yu, I will give you a gift by this time next year."

Qi Yu became interested. "Gift? What gift? Can you tell me?"

"No, we have to keep it a mystery, but I promise this will be a gift that will make you cry with joy."

One year is enough.

"is it?"

"Hearing you say that, I want to know even more. Can you really not tell me?"

Qi Yu showed an expectant expression. He leaned closer to Xia Jiumeng with his eyes shining.

"What is the gift? Tell me a little bit." He pulled Xia Jiumeng's sleeve and shook it.

Xia Jiumeng covered her mouth and laughed secretly, deliberately whetting Qi Yu's appetite.

"Wait a little longer, you'll know next year."

Seeing that she refused to give in, Qi Yu had to give up, but he was already guessing what this mysterious gift was.

Soon, the dishes were served one after another. The aroma of fresh seafood was so fragrant that it made people salivate.

"It looks delicious!" Xia Jiumeng said with shining eyes.

Qi Yu smiled and said, "Then try it quickly."

The two of them spent a pleasant lunch time while enjoying the delicious food and admiring the beautiful sea view.

After eating, Qi Yu sent Xia Jiumeng out of the community.

"Let's stop here. See you next time~" Xia Jiumeng said goodbye to Qi Yu with a smile after getting off the car.

"Well, next time I'll take you to another restaurant."

"it is good."

After watching Qi Yu's car disappear on the road, Xia Jiumeng turned and entered the community. When she walked downstairs, she remembered that her house had been bombed and had not been renovated yet.

And it seems that there are no ingredients in the kitchen.

Looks like we have to eat out today.

Shen Xing replied that he should be back soon and she would call him to check on him.

The call was connected as soon as I dialed.

"Shen Xinghui?"

"Yeah it's me, are you home?"

"Yes, what about you?"

A chuckle came from the other end of the line. "I'm behind you."

Xia Jiumeng turned around and saw Shen Xinghui wearing casual clothes.

"Aren't you out on a mission? Why...?"

"I changed my clothes as soon as I got back. I'm going to have dinner with you soon, so combat clothes aren't suitable."

"That's it, okay."

"Let's go eat out..."

"Jiu Meng." Li Shen's voice suddenly came.

Xia Jiumeng watched as Li Shen, dressed in a smart suit and looking mature, walked towards her with long legs. Behind him were several workers wearing the uniforms of a home improvement company.

"Li Shen, you're off work so early today?"

"Well, the renovation team is here. I was afraid they didn't know the location, so I brought them here."

Li Shen said with a chuckle.

Decoration team: The more you try to hide it, the more obvious it becomes. There’s nothing in the entire Linkong City that they don’t know, right?

"Really? Can we start work now?" Xia Jiumeng asked the man who was walking up to her.

"Yes, Miss Xia, we have checked the condition of your house and we estimate it will be restored to your condition within three days."

"But you may need to buy new soft furnishings. If you don't mind, you can choose our company to assemble them for you, which will save a lot of trouble."

Xia Jiumeng thought about it and realized that it was true. Now that her strength had recovered a lot, she was not afraid of those people anymore. Besides, with Xiaoqi at home, these people had no chance to install other things in her house.

That would save us some trouble.

"Okay, then you guys can do it yourself."

Xia Jiumeng added the decorator's WeChat and asked, "What's your name?"

"My last name is Zhu."

Xia Jiumeng: "Surname Zhu?" Did she hear it wrong?

Master Zhu was not surprised at all. He laughed and said, "Zhu in Zhuge's name."

"Oh oh oh, sorry, sorry."

"It's okay, homophones are inevitable."

Xia Jiumeng showed him the finished decoration drawings of her home.

"Just you recover like this."

Master Zhu took a look and nodded, "Okay, no problem."

"Sorry to trouble you."

"You're welcome."

Xia Jiumeng nodded and took them upstairs. Shen Xinghui and Li Shen naturally followed.

After arriving home, Xia Jiumeng watched the workers skillfully holding their tools and starting to work. After thinking about it, she felt too lazy to go out for dinner.

After saying hello to the master, she took Li Shen and Shen Xing back to the workshop.

The workshop also has a small rest area, which is separated on the left.

There are three cute little sofas and a round table, and there is a floor-to-ceiling window next to it where you can enjoy the scenery outside.

But you can’t see the scene inside from the outside.

The glass has reflective paint added.

Xia Jiumeng looked at them and then looked at the time. It was 5:30 in the afternoon, neither early nor late.

She knew that Shen Xinghui hadn't eaten yet. Li Shen should have just gotten off work at this time and might not have eaten either.

"Li Shen, do you mind eating something together?"

How could Li Shen refuse her invitation? He nodded and said, "I just got off work and haven't had time to eat yet."

He took off his suit jacket and sat on the sofa opposite her.

There was no way the seat on her right was occupied by 'someone'.

"Row."

"However, we won't be eating out today. Let's order takeout."

It’s not convenient to go out for dinner when there are strangers at home.

Shen Xinghui responded as obediently as always, "I'll listen to you."

Li Shen also nodded in agreement, "Okay."

She spent fifteen minutes discussing the dinner menu with Li Shen and the others, and then, considering Shen Xinghui's appetite, she ordered twenty servings.

Li Shen looked at her order in surprise. "We only have 7 people including the outside workers."

Xia Jiumeng explained, "Shen Xing just returned from a mission and has consumed a lot of energy. He needs food to replenish his energy."

Li Shen looked at the innocent Shen Xinghui and said, "Your colleague's method of restoring energy is very unique."

"Overeating can easily make your stomach sick."

Shen Xing turned to Li Shen with a forced smile and said, "Thank you, Doctor Li, for your reminder. My digestion has always been good."

He had already learned from Xia Jiumeng that this man was not only her friend but also her attending physician for heart disease.

But that doesn't mean he will give in to him.

"The takeaway won't arrive for a while."

Xia Jiumeng stood up and took the slightly smaller white coat hanging on the wall and put it on.

"Shen Xinghui, the formula for your neutralizing potion has been finalized. I have the corresponding materials in my workshop and can make it for you right away."

"When would you like the injection?"

Although she was not in the laboratory, she had Xiaoqi simulate the data when the formula came out, so there was no danger.

Shen Xinghui pondered for a moment and looked at Li Shen, who had put on another white coat and walked to Xia Jiumeng to ask about the principles of the medicine.

This man had also been injected with genetic drugs. He had also realized the power of the so-called superpowers the last time he fought. If this man's power had not just awakened and was unstable, he might not be able to defeat this man.

Superpowers are far more powerful than evol.

If possible, he would certainly like to be stronger, only in this way can he protect the people he cares about.

Shen Xing looked back at Xia Jiumeng's serious profile with a hint of imperceptible affection and determination in his eyes. Before he could look away, a flash of white suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Is the element sequence you are talking about the order of material genes?" Li Shen casually walked in front of her and blocked her with his broad body.

"Yes, but not the complete gene. Instead, we extract the useful parts of the substance separately and then try to fuse them together."

Xia Jiumeng didn't notice the actions of the two. She thought that Li Shen also wanted to participate in the potion research, so it would be a good time to start the research and trial now.

Li Shen nodded. He could understand this. "How do you determine the formula of the potion?"

Xia Jiumeng pointed to her head and said, "Predecessors plant trees and future generations enjoy the shade. Smart future generations will put their knowledge into practice and take better care of the trees while enjoying the shade."

Li Shen understood the profound meaning of her words.

"You are a smart person who doesn't care about your health."

"certainly not."

Shen Xinghui was immediately unhappy when he saw that not only his view was blocked, but Xia Jiumeng's attention was also diverted by this man.

He walked forward and said, "If it's convenient, you can give me the injection now."

After thinking for a while, he looked at Xia Jiumeng weakly and asked, "Will it hurt?"

"meeting."

Xia Jiumeng looked at Shen Xinghui, who suddenly looked a little wilted, as if she saw a listless long-eared rabbit with its ears drooping.

So cute!

Oh my god, how can a man be so cute?

"Don't worry, I will stay with you." Xia Jiumeng held Shen Xinghui's hand and comforted him.

I can't take her place in the pain, but I can accompany her.

"Okay." Shen Xing replied pitifully, gip.

Li Shen, who was standing beside him, said with a chilled aura, "Can't you use painkillers?"

"No, once the gene drug is registered, all other drugs will be excluded. Even if they are used, they will only aggravate the pain."

The original genetic medicine did not cause pain, but she could not find the pain-relieving ingredient in that medicine.

Perhaps this new Earth does not.

Maybe I can find it by going to another planet in the future.

Li Shen: "That's a pity."

It would be best if he died in pain, so that Xia Jiumeng would not be able to bother him anymore.

Shen Xinghui: You are dreaming.

Since it was decided to inject Xia Jiumeng, we started preparing the neutralizing potion.

However, she still reminded Shen Xinghui, "Shen Xinghui, the neutralizing potion will restore your genes to their original state, and some of your abilities will disappear."

Shen Xinghui frowned slightly and thought for a while. "Evol?"

"No."

After Xia Jiumeng reminded Shen Xinghui of this, he instantly understood what she was talking about. He then looked up at her gently, his blue eyes like stars filled with tenderness and trust.

"It's ok."

"it is good."
