Quick Transmigration: Forbidden to Covet Beautiful NPCs

Central base.

The group quickly entered the center of the base via a special passage.

After meeting with the base manager, Wu Tongxue went directly to see Fei Zhi, who had already arranged his schedule for the day and could return home that evening if he rushed.

The weather wasn't cold, and the breeze was gentle and comfortable against my skin.

Fei Zhi was sunbathing with his eyes closed in a small garden, dressed in simple clothes, with a light-colored blanket covering his legs.

Her graying curly hair swayed in the wind, and her skin, with a few age spots, was full of signs of aging. She exuded a scholarly air and looked refined and kind.

Wu Tongxue slowly approached, and the moment Fei Zhi opened his eyes, he saw a fleeting glimpse of turbidity in them.

At that moment, he realized that his teacher had truly changed.

Wu Tongxue looked at the fallen leaves in the distance. "The scenery here is nice. The teacher seems to like it very much."

"You...have come."

Fei Zhi slowly turned his head to look at him, his gaze calm. "The scenery is beautiful."

Reaching out, Wu Tongxue caught a leaf that swirled down from the air. She held the stem and twirled it back and forth, her brows furrowed slightly, her expression puzzled. "I don't understand, why me?"

He believed he had never offended him in any way, and that they had even had a very harmonious relationship as teacher and student.

Fei Zhi remained silent for a long time.

“Teacher.” Wu Tongxue knelt down in front of him, looking him straight in the eye. “This is the last time I will call you teacher. Thank you for your guidance in the past.”

His voice was soft and gentle, without a trace of resentment.

He stood up and gazed at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance. Actually, his personal reason for coming out was to get away and relax.

As for Fei Zhi, after today, neither of them owes the other anything; from now on, they will each rely on their own abilities.

After her initial curiosity subsided, Wu Tongxue began to appreciate the surrounding scenery.

Fei Zhi wouldn't be foolish enough to do anything to him openly in the central base, so Wu Tongxue just lingered in front of Fei Zhi for about half an hour.

After enjoying the scenery to the fullest, they slowly made their way away.

Fei Zhi: ".

Losing the desire to bask in the sun any longer, she steered her wheelchair away from the other side.

"Are you alright?" Lu Yuan waited outside, while monitoring to prevent anyone else from entering.

He carefully observed Wu Tongxue's expression but couldn't discern anything.

Wu Tongxue shook her head, her hair swaying as she spoke, her eyes still bright and alert. She stood sideways under the ginkgo tree, a slight smile playing on her lips. "It's nothing."

He lowered his hands from behind his back and his gaze was drawn to a group of people passing by on a path not far away.

Lu Yuan looked over and said, "That's a newly added patrol team. There have been several incidents of plant and animal mutations in the base recently, so we're increasing security."

As Wu Tongxue listened to the timeline of the cases he mentioned, she made a calculation in her mind. The timing was around the time of Fei Zhi's arrival, and it was obvious who was responsible.

I need to hurry back and catch up on the progress!

Meeting Lu Yuan's concerned gaze, he smiled and said, "I'm fine. Let's go see the head of the research institute here now."

Let's have a chat, hoping it will lead to a breakthrough in his experiment.

The layout of the research institute was the same as before, and I ran into many acquaintances along the way.

Lu Yuan saw Li Yangyan and thought of Yan Lin, who was still at the Hongyang Biological Research Institute; they were teacher and student.

Wu Tongxue stopped in her tracks. He saw it too. "Yan Lin is a good kid."

Lu Yuan nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"Time is tight, let's go see Qian Lai directly." This is the person who took over his work after Wu Tongxue left, and he is still in charge for now. Fei Zhi has arrived, but what will happen next is uncertain.

Regardless, Li Yangyan felt a little guilty. Before he could figure out how to face his former junior brother Wu Tongxue, he saw them leave without stopping.

He looked around and, finding no one paying attention to him, left dejectedly.

As scheduled, Wu Tongxue left the central base that evening.

The off-road vehicle sped along the highway, the wind whistling through the air.

Wu Tongxue lowered the car window and looked at the starry sky outside, which was not much different from before.

The bodyguards were in the driver's seat and the passenger seat, while Wu Tongxue and Lu Yuan sat in the back. He tugged at Lu Yuan's sleeve, signaling him to look outside.

Lu Yuan probably misunderstood, so he bent down and leaned closer to ask, "What's wrong?"

His sharp gaze fell outside the car, and after looking around, he found no danger.

Wu Tongxue pointed to the sky, "Look, the starry sky."

Lu Yuan stared at it for a while, then said, "It's very beautiful."

Instead of looking out the window on his side, he leaned to the left and looked at the starry sky outside the left window.

Wu Tongxue smiled and said, “The last time I saw a starry sky like this was half a year ago. It’s a pity I didn’t bring my telescope from home.”

"That's very interesting." Seeing his focused expression, Wu Tongxue said, "If you're interested, you can borrow my telescope later."

He pointed to the stars in the sky and gave various introductions, "See those three over there? Those are..."

A night breeze blew, and Lu Yuan listened quietly to his words, feeling utterly at peace.

After a rare moment of relaxation, Wu Tongxue felt completely at ease and introduced the familiar stars to him.

Wu Tongxue focused her attention on the starry sky and didn't pay much attention to the distance between Lu Yuan and him.

Looking in the rearview mirror, the driver saw that Wu Tongxue was almost completely encircled in Lu Yuan's arms, one speaking earnestly and the other listening attentively.

The driver pretended not to see the captain's almost domineering behavior, and drove obediently, trying to minimize his presence.

It's not easy for an old tree to bloom.

Towards the end of the story, Wu Tongxue became thirsty and turned to look for a bottle of mineral water, almost bumping into Lu Yuan.

A sharp pain shot through the tip of her nose. Wu Tongxue frowned and touched it. It hurt a little, and she complained with a slightly nasal tone, "Why is it so hard?"

In Lu Yuan's eyes, the person in his arms at this moment was so cute that his heart was melting.

His Adam's apple bobbed as he reached for a bottle of mineral water, scrutinizing the man's reddened nose. "Does it hurt a lot?"

"I have medicine here."

Wu Tongxue stopped him from saying anything more. There were people listening in front of him. He had only bumped his head; there was no need for medicine.

"It's alright, everything's fine now." He held out his hand and asked directly, "Give me some water."

Lu Yuan unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to him, looking down at him and reminding him, "It's a bit cold."

"good."

After finishing his water, Wu Tongxue closed the car window. It was a bit chilly after being in the wind for a while, and he felt unusually talkative today.

"Are you prone to getting injured while on missions?" she asked, her gaze falling on the scars on the back of Lu Yuan's hand, which looked quite old.

"Depending on the level of danger, I usually don't get injured." He raised his hand. "This is from when I fell while climbing a tree as a child."

Wu Tongxue looked him up and down. "I didn't realize you were so mischievous when you were little. I thought you'd always been so steady and serious."

"When I was young……"

The two people in the front row took the opportunity to listen to a bit of the captain's past.

Well, how should I put it... is their captain really that weak?

Lu Yuan glanced casually at the rearview mirror. The two people in the front row met his gaze, which was not particularly meaningful, and their eyes immediately became extremely clear and serious.

Forget it, I'll just drive carefully and not get caught by the captain for practice!

The man has become honest.
