Since The Red Moon Appeared

Lu Xin was silent, his expression seemed a little hollow.

In fact, a long time ago, he could feel that Teacher Xiaolu was afraid, but he just didn't want to think about it.

But now seeing the fear on her face, she is still sad.

Even he himself couldn't tell whether it was because he felt sad when he saw that Mr. Xiaolu would be afraid of him, or whether Mrs. Xiaolu had already felt the fear, but she still forced herself to come over to comfort her sad expression. .

He didn't know why, but Mr. Deer's fear of him actually surpassed that of the dean?

This was originally the question he wanted to ask, but now...

On the lens of her left eye, certain data has popped up, showing that her mental fluctuations are very strong.

The mental level of ordinary people is about 10 points. Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible to detect their own mental radiation, but when this pair of glasses has already responded, it only means one. The problem, she is already in extremely strong mood swings, maybe, with just a little more pressure, she will collapse directly because of this...

How can I force her again?

...

Lu Xin worked hard to put a smile on his face, although the smile might be stiff.

"I know that I'm quite fierce, and it's scary when I lose my temper..."

He tried hard to make his voice seem calm and funny: "Look, I scared you."

"Yes, it is."

Teacher Xiaolu also worked hard, trying to cooperate with Lu Xin at this time.

But no matter how hard she tried, her smile could never return to the way that nothing had happened.

Two people who try hard to make each other feel that they are okay, but are clumsy and awkward.

"Forget it..."

Lu Xin sighed softly, stood up slowly, and said to Teacher Xiaolu, "I have to go to work in the afternoon, so I'll go first."

"It's just that you might have to wash the bowl yourself..."

"..."

Teacher Xiaolu seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she could only nod her head.

Lifting the bag, Lu Xin slowly left the office with a suppressed emotion in his heart.

Looking up slightly, he saw a group of small eyes holding rice jars looking at him in the corridor and the classroom next to him.

The child's ears are sharp, and he has probably heard Teacher Xiaolu's cry.

"Big Brother, what's the matter?"

A child with a sniffle secretly asks a child with a red nose.

The red-nosed child gave Lu Xin a deep look, and said meaningfully, "We quarreled."

"what?"

The snot-snoring child was taken aback and showed surprise: "Then I have a chance?"

"you have not."

The red-nosed child glanced at him and said, "You can't even afford candy."

Lu Xin passed through the group of whispered and curious eyes, and slowly went downstairs. When he reached the corner of the third floor, there was a small table in front of the security guard. There was a plate of shredded potatoes and a salted duck egg on the table. He held his small wine cup in his hand.

He drank slowly without raising his head, as if he was not talking to Lu Xin, and said in a low voice:

"Don't get me wrong, she's not afraid of you."

"..."

Lu Xin looked back at the old man, nodded, and went downstairs.

Walking on the street on foot, the pale sunlight shone down on his head, and Lu Xin felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

He went to the guard hall first, took out the motorcycle he had stored here, and rode it all the way, wandering aimlessly on the street.

After all, motorcycles burn oil, so he rarely has the luxury of driving around. But today is different, he didn't even want to save any more money for a while. However, he still quickly stopped in a square...

... After all, motorcycles burn oil.

He sat on a bench in the square and slowly smoked a cigarette.

On the bench not far away, there is a couple who look very intimate, sweetly sticking together.

The boy hid a rose in the satchel behind him, as if preparing to perform a magic trick.

Lu Xin glanced at them, a little envious.

But he soon stopped envy, because he saw a third person appeared between the two.

That was the younger sister, and she squatted on the back of the chair and looked at the two of them.

Soon her eyes lit up, and she tore off the other's rose petals with a smirk.

"Da da da dang..."

The boy swayed his arms exaggeratedly and slammed a bare rod into the girl's face.

He was stunned, and the girl was stunned.

Then, they got up angrily and left, one hurriedly chased after them, and kept explaining.

Lu Xin's mood suddenly improved a lot.

...

"Sister, I didn't get the answer I wanted."

When his sister came to squat beside him, Lu Xin exhaled a heavy breath of smoke, and said softly, "Actually, I came to ask Mr. Xiaolu, and the answer I wanted most was that she told me that the dean was actually a very good person. It's all my wild thinking, but in the end, I didn't get the best answer, I didn't get the average bad answer, I got the worst answer..."

"It turns out that she was so... scared."

The younger sister hugged Lu Xin's arm, rubbed her little head, and said, "I'm not afraid of you."

Lu Xin smiled, but did not expose his sister.

"Do you want to go out and play again?"

After pondering for a while, Lu Xin suddenly asked his sister with a smile.

The sister was startled for a moment, and looked at him with a puzzled look.

Lu Xin raised his head, looked in the direction outside the satellite city wall, and said, "Isn't it a good thing that there are still people alive in the orphanage?"

"And that document says that even the old dean might be alive..."

"I do have a lot of questions in my heart, I want to know what happened back then, and whether all the damned people are dead... Of course, if not all dead, I don't mind letting them go through the experience again. things..."

"..."

When he said this, his face was very calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

But the younger sister, who was holding Lu Xin's arm, looked up vigilantly at Lu Xin's expression without blinking.

Lu Xin was silent for a moment, as if he felt that his condition was not very good.

After a while, a smile appeared on his face again, very kind, and said: "All in all, I am actually very happy now, the orphanage at the time was like a big family, so everyone in the orphanage, It's all our family, so I didn't know it before, since I know there are still people alive in this family, how can I not go and see if he is doing well?"

"As for these questions in my heart..."

He had a big smile on his face: "When I say hello to him in person, he should be happy to tell me, right?"

"..."

The younger sister listened to his words, her eyes gradually lit up.

She suddenly hugged Lu Xin's neck hard and said, "Brother, do you know?"

"Actually, we have been waiting for you to make this decision for a long time..."

"..."

Listening to his sister's words, Lu Xin finally laughed happily.

When I looked up, I saw that in a high-end restaurant on the second floor next to the square, my mother was nodding and smiling to herself.

Even his own shadow by the bench seemed to be writhing a little abnormally.

There was a deep laughter, hehe sounded.

...

To do a major event that requires going out, it stands to reason that a family meeting should be held to discuss it, but after listening to his sister's words at this time, he knew that this time he didn't even have to wait for a family meeting to be held. This decision can already be determined. down.

To do this, the first step is, of course: ask for leave.

Lu Xin took out his satellite phone from the bag and dialed Chen Jing.

Chen Jing answered quickly, her voice calm: "What's the matter?"

Lu Xin was in a good mood and greeted with a smile: "Team leader, good afternoon."

"……Um."

Chen Jing was silent for a while, her voice softer, and said again: "What's the matter?"

"this……"

Lu Xin guessed in her heart whether she was actually busy now, but as soon as she saw her phone, she immediately stopped all the work she was doing to listen to what she wanted to say. I felt a little embarrassed in my heart, and it was even more embarrassing when I added what I wanted to say. After making a quick belly call, he said, "Well, I'm making this call because I want... to ask for a leave."

"Ask for leave?"

Chen Jing was a little surprised: "Aren't you on a routine vacation after the mission is over?"

"Yes Yes."

Lu Xin had to think seriously again and explained, "But these few days shouldn't be enough. I want to... ask for a few more days."

Chen Jing seemed to frown and said, "How many days?"

"……more or less."

This question made Lu Xin a little difficult to answer, so he had to say, "It's hard to say now."

Chen Jing paused and said, "What is the reason for taking a leave?"

"this……"

Lu Xin thought for a while and said, "Personal affairs."

Listening to his short answer, Chen Jing's voice slowed down a bit, and after a while, she said:

"You have made a great contribution in helping Qinggang resist the attack of the sea country before. According to the contribution points, you can go straight to the fourth-level special talent of Qinggang, and the fourth-level Qinggang Special talents can already enjoy the special care of Qinggang, so even if it is a private matter, you can make a request, and the Special Qing Department will help you as much as possible."

"I'm afraid this won't work."

Lu Xin sighed softly and said, "Because of this private matter, I need to go out of the city to do it."

Chen Jing was a little surprised: "Where are you going?"

Lu Xin thought for a moment and said, "Central City."

"Central City..."

On Chen Jing's side, there was obviously a moment of commotion and panic, and it seemed that many people made noises in surprise.

This surprised Lu Xin: there are so many people there?

After a while, Chen Jing's voice sounded steadily again: "Can you tell us why you went to Central City?"

"It's... not very convenient."

Lu Xin was too embarrassed to refuse the leadership, so he tentatively said, "After all, it's my personal business, can I not say it?"

"Of course, I shouldn't have asked."

Chen Jing's response was quick, she said apologetically, and then resumed her calm work mode, saying:

"If you ask for leave, it can theoretically be approved."

"However, you haven't handed in the mission report this time, and you have not recorded the corresponding changes after the second stage, and you are now a de facto fourth-level special talent. Wherever you want to go and what to do, you should submit a paper application, and the Special Clearance Department will provide you with certain security and information support."

"Ah this..."

Lu Xin felt that what the leader said was very reasonable, and felt that his call was too abrupt.

After a while, he whispered: "Then I will go back and write the mission report this time, and then... make a copy of the application for leaving the city?"

"Can."

Chen Jing smiled and said: "In the application materials for going out of the city, you need to generally tell how far you need to go, the time to leave the city, the supplies you need to apply for, etc. Because there are still many places outside the wall that are in chaos. , it is still very dangerous for you who have only had a short experience of going out of the city, so it is best to have a special person to help you with a plan, or even training."

"Of course, it also helps us arrange for someone else to take your place in Satellite City No. 2."

"..."

After saying this in one breath, Chen Jing pondered for a while:

"By the way, in addition to what I said now, do you need to arrange a driver for you in advance?"

She smiled and said, "After all, the one who was temporarily arranged last time had a lot of opinions after coming back, so this time..."

"...We can inform him in advance."

Plus more, you were so powerful yesterday.
