Beyond Gold and Jade [Interstellar ABO]

Only Pei Qingque and Gu Dingci were left at home, sitting opposite each other in the front hall, the teacup in front of them was still steaming from the rim.

Facing Gu Dingci's almost identical face with her own, Pei Qingque was in a trance and almost had the illusion of looking in a mirror.

Like all the children in the world who are left alone by their parents to face strange guests, Bird Cub sits on the sofa and doesn't know what to say. The awkward atmosphere in the air between the two of them It seems that it will become real in the next second.

He could only relieve his tension by chewing food non-stop. Taking advantage of the gap between swallowing, although he knew that the other party could not see, Pei Qingque still smiled reluctantly at Gu Dingci, imitating Meng Wangchuan when receiving guests, whispering He said: "This snack is quite delicious, why don't you...you try a piece?" After speaking, he forced himself to laugh several times dryly.

After all, he was still old, compared to the uncomfortable Pei Qingque, Gu Dingci was obviously much more relaxed. First, he gently placed the crutch next to the armrest of the sofa, and then readily accepted Pei Qingque's proposal.He turned his head slightly, put on a troubled expression, and said softly: "My eyes are not good, so I can't see where the pastry is."

Before she had time to answer, Pei Qingque heard the other party continue to say leisurely: "Little bird, can I ask you to help me get a piece?"

Pei Qingque never thought that such a peaceful and indifferent expression could appear on her face. For a moment, her gaze stayed on Gu Dingci's face for a long time without moving away.

Gu Dingci took over the white porcelain plate containing the dessert from the little guy, and Gu Dingci thanked him softly.

The other party couldn't find the slightest mistake from his attitude to his tone of voice. Pei Qingque's uneasiness that was about to overflow all over his body finally dissipated. tea.

Compared with Gu Dingci's eating speed, the slow and gentle eating has no effect. He quickly finished the dessert gracefully and quickly, and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.

"Since I appeared, Xiaoque's heartbeat has become very fast," Gu Dingci continued in a normal tone, "Is it me that makes you uneasy?"

After being stunned by the strange question for a while, Pei Qingque said in surprise, "How do you know that my heart beats so fast?"

"Ah, about this question..." Gu Dingci didn't care about the little guy's irrelevant answer, brushed aside a piece of sideburn that covered the pinna of the ear, took a very thin and small silver-gray metal piece from the earlobe, and put it in the palm of his hand Passed it in the direction of Pei Qingque: "This is a small invention that assists my daily life. It can monitor the vital signs of surrounding creatures and the existence of non-living objects within a certain range, and provide timely feedback."

"Simply put, it can ensure that I will not have accidents when I encounter obstacles while walking, and at the same time, it can roughly judge the true emotions of the communication object."

Gu Dingci explained very patiently, without the slightest displeasure or impatience to be offended, and his tone of voice was soft and peaceful, and he could easily bring others into his explanation.Naturally, it can give people a feeling of comfort, trustworthiness, and even wanting to be close.

Pei Qingque finally patted herself awake in the gentleness, shook her head slightly, pinched her face with her fingers, then calmed down, and said a little shyly: "I'm just...a little nervous .”

Gu Dingci understood that it was probably rare to meet a junior who was so much younger than himself, so he unconsciously used the tone he usually used when coaxing Huo Zhoutong: "It's understandable, after all, I'm entertaining guests at home alone, Xiaoque has already It's amazing."

Being blushed by the other party's bright tone of coaxing the little kid, Pei Qingque subconsciously stretched out her hand to grab a pillow, buried half of her face in it, with only a pair of round cat eyes open, Looking in the direction of Gu Dingci, he blinked non-stop.

Can't be captured by the enemy's sugar-coated shells!

Pei Qingque shook her head, shaking out the turbulent little emotions in her heart, telling herself that being soft-hearted to the enemy is cruel to herself, cleared her throat, and said in a blunt tone: "Actually, it's okay, too."

"Feeling Pei Qingque's uneasiness, Gu Dingci thought he was just slow and not used to getting along with strangers, blinked, smiled at Pei Qingque, and said sincerely: "Is there anyone who said ever you are cute? "

As if being poked into the bottom of my heart by that smile, Pei Qingque cast her eyes aside, and said vaguely and awkwardly: "No..."

Gu Dingci praised him with kindness: "Good boy."

Then Pei Qingque, who blushed, heard the mild-tempered man say to him, "I want to take a stroll in the garden."

"Mr. Gu, your crutch..."

Just after walking out of the gate, Pei Qingque looked at Gu Dingci who was empty-handed, and then remembered what was wrong.

But before he finished speaking, Gu Dingci patted the shoulder a few times as if to comfort him, pulled the little guy over, and whispered mysteriously in the other's ear: "Actually, I don't need to use crutches to walk. Show it to your nanny."

After finishing speaking, Gu Dingci straightened up: "Otherwise, they wouldn't take half a step away from my surroundings."

Pei Qingque, who also has a deep understanding of the dedication of the nannies in Meng's house, couldn't help but nodded in agreement, hanging in mid-air, always on guard against Gu Dingci's fall because of obstacles in the garden path, and he couldn't let go of his heart few.

The Meng family's garden covers a very large area, with dozens of entrances and exits, and the construction is no less than a maze.

Pei Qingque walked behind Gu Dingci on the right, and naturally put on an attitude of caring for the sick and injured, raised one hand, and held him beside him, always preventing accidents from happening.

Gu Dingci chose to study biochemistry when he was in the military academy, and he didn’t get depressed after he lost his eyesight. Instead, the large amount of free time gave him the opportunity to enrich himself, and even successfully obtained a doctorate after marriage.

The two of them walked around the garden, and Gu Dingci could judge the species of the animals and plants they encountered through Pei Qingque's description of their appearance and certain feedback from the auxiliary device, and use some simple and straightforward language to make them for the children. Popular science, gentle and patient, humorous.

After all, Pei Qingque was young, with a kind nature. Facing the gentle and knowledgeable Gu Dingci, she even forgot about the last bit of twists and turns, and happily discussed with Gu Dingci about the relationship between roses and roses. Connection and difference.

***

Contrary to the two people in Meng's mansion who were enjoying the flowers and birds for a long time, Meng Wangchuan was sitting in the meeting room of the company building at this moment, his eyes were cast heavily on the holographic projection of the man directly in front of him, his face was stern, The expression is indistinguishable.

Huo Zhoutong sat grinningly on the leather office chair, with a signature pen flying between his fingers, humming an unknown tune.Compared with Meng Wangchuan, that look looked too relaxed, as if he was not here for negotiation this time, but for vacation.

Meng Wangchuan waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to project the scene after the attack on the big screen.

The [-]D engraving can perfectly record any details that happened at that time, so the corpses of the Zerg on the ground, the scratches left on the surrounding buildings, and various traces of battles were all reflected in Huo Zhou at the same time. Tong's eyes.

As the scene of the accident was reconstructed bit by bit, the foolish look on Huo Zhoutong's face also subsided completely, and the original humming tune stopped immediately.

The young general frowned, and his eyes stayed on the ugly limbs of the Zerg and the marks left by the attack on the ground. After checking carefully for a long while, he said with certainty: "It's the private soldiers raised by the second prince, and the soldiers on the battlefield. Those bugs are not from the same batch, although they look similar, their attack power is significantly stronger."

Meng Wangchuan nodded after listening, and said in a deep voice, "There is no warning or clue for this sudden attack."

"My men only wiped out half of the Zerg, and the other half retreated decisively. Obviously they were just the vanguard to test the waters."

Cursing a few times in a low voice, Huo Zhoutong was obviously very angry at the fact that the Zerg race had targeted his wife. He frowned deeply, and said coldly, "How do they know that Ding Ci is here?"

Originally thought that it would be safe to take Gu Dingci out of his home and send him to Meng's house, a place far away from the government center, for protection.Unexpectedly, the energy of the Zerg was even greater than imagined, able to track and threaten Gu Dingci's personal safety through heavy security and encryption.

Meng Wangchuan added: "Not only that, but their appetite is bigger than expected. A small team followed my starship to the [-]th joint area."

"This bunch of dead bugs are really very courageous." Huo Zhoutong sneered a few times after listening to it, and then realized it belatedly after he said the harsh words: "United District? You are a big boss, go to that kind of place do what?"

Meng Wangchuan was silent for a while, and finally did not answer him directly, skipping the topic very naturally: "In short, the penetration of the Zerg into the Federation may be deeper than we expected."

The man's implication couldn't be clearer. There are internal agents of the Zerg in the federation. From the fact that they can obtain information about Gu Dingci's movements and pass it back to the Zerg headquarters, the status of an undercover agent is not too low.

"Three days ago, the federation provided us with ammunition lines that were cut off by the Zerg," Huo Zhoutong gritted his teeth, and said bitterly: "The group of old guys in the upper echelons who only eat and do nothing are really no different from a group of moths. "

Unaffected by Huo Zhoutong's rage, after the exchange of information, Meng Wangchuan calmly came to a conclusion:

"So, ammunition is the purpose of your coming to me today?"
