Chapter 46: Research paper

The word was simple and vague, and it was separated by a door, and even the

tone was indistinguishable, but it still made Chu Si straighten his back and

his face changed.

He stood motionless, and for a moment, he couldn't even hear other voices. The

nerves all over his body seemed to be alive and out of the body, and went

straight through the door into the room, so that there was a slight movement

that could be ignored. Can make his body more rigid.

The sound of footsteps in the room suddenly appeared, and it seemed that

someone was pulling the slippers and walking away from the door.

The door lock that rang and remained silent, perhaps because the person in the

door changed his mind without hearing the answer.

Sometimes you are familiar with a person to a certain extent, and you can

judge whether it is him or not from a few simple steps.

At the moment when the footsteps were about to leave, Truth subconsciously

opened his mouth and replied: "I."

The voice was dull and dumb because of the dazedness and stiffness, and it

rolled at the bottom of his throat, so low that he couldn't even hear him.

Just as soon as he spoke, he laughed at himself. The simple answer of "I" only

applies to the closest person. The other person will know who it is when he

hears it, otherwise it will only increase embarrassment.

But who he is now, to the person in the door, is just a strange voice, a

strange face, a stranger who doesn't know him, and how can he be qualified to

answer this way.

He must look silly... Chus laughed at himself.

But stupid, he didn’t worry that he would be turned away. After all, the man

in the door was quite a good-tempered person. Back then, a neighbor’s

fingerprint lock failed and he couldn’t return home for a while, so he also

let them in. It seems to have stayed for a long time. Although he has not yet

figured out why Jiang Qi, as a person who has been in the chaos of war, is so

unprepared.

The footsteps paused, then suddenly became clearer again, sounding like they

were walking back to the door again.

"You are nervous." Sae Young suddenly whispered in Chus's ear, as if

whispering something.

"No," Truth replied.

However, it wasn't until this sentence was said that he realized that he had

been holding his breath, and his hands hanging beside him were also

unconsciously squeezed into fists.

Sae Young was right, he was really nervous, and he didn't even notice it.

The door lock made a soft sound from inside again, this time it didn't stop

abruptly.

The metal door shaft turned slightly, and the door was opened. The man in the

door wore the simplest shirt and trousers, with the collar open at will. One

sleeve was folded to the elbow, and the other was just half-turned.

He was mixed with the neatness of a soldier, the bookishness of a researcher,

and a slight and relaxed tiredness.

Jiang Qi...

Even though he had guessed in his heart and prepared for a while, Truth was

stunned at the door when he saw him, showing a nearly blank expression.

He suddenly didn't know what year he was in.

Familiar clothes, familiar face, nothing changed, it was as if Jiang Qi had

just had a long disparity, and after finishing the work, he packed up at will,

and simply went home like this.

"You are..." In the door, Jiang Qi's gaze cast over, passing through an

unknown number of years, and falling on Chu Si.

At the moment when he heard Jiang Qi's opening, the bones on the side of

Chus's face moved, and it seemed that he gritted his teeth subconsciously.

He frowned, lowered his head and pinched the bridge of his nose with his

fingers, and then raised his head again when the heat around his eyes

subsided.

Jiang Qi was taken aback for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?"

This tone was too familiar, and Chu Si was so familiar with it for another

moment that he coughed at the bottom of his throat, cleared his throat and

said: "We live upstairs, and the fingerprint lock is out of order and

temporarily unable to enter. can……"

At this time, Truth had no extra attention to think about new excuses, and the

only thing that came to mind was the words of the two neighbors back then.

After he finished speaking, he regretted it a little, and he didn't know if

Jiang Qi would feel a little suspicious for the same reason.

Jiang Qi didn't respond immediately, but looked at him up and down again, and

finally his eyes fell on his eyebrows, seeming to confirm their kindness or

not.

He glanced at Sae Young next to the door, and finally turned sideways to open

a path, smiled and said, "The underground energy pool is out of order. The

property is under repair. Come in first."

There were two soft emergency lights on in the room, one on the corner of the

sofa and one in the hallway.

When he stood in this apartment again, Truss felt very complicated, it was a

sense of contradiction intertwined with subconscious relaxation and rational

restraint.

After Saer Young followed in, he showed great interest in this place. He

glanced at the general layout and layout of the house, then patted Truss on

the shoulder, and leaned in to ask in a low voice, "Dear. "

"Huh?" Chu Si's gaze was always behind Jiang Qi, and he didn't even realize

what Sae Yang was talking about.

After another two seconds, he glanced at Sae Young in hindsight: "..."

"There are only two people living here?" Sae Young continued to ask.

Truth could only replied grumpily: "Yeah."

Jiang Qi folded the other sleeve and asked, "What can I drink?"

"Water is fine, thank you." Truth tried to make himself and Sae Young look

like normal neighbors.

"Come and sit down." Jiang Qi took two glasses of water and walked over and

put them on the glass tables, then went around the two-seater and bent down.

After entering the room, Truss hardly paid attention to anything else, only

then did he realize that a child was nesting on the two-seater sofa.

He looks less than ten years old, wearing a light gray long-sleeved home

shirt, and the curled up posture makes his shoulder bones stand out and looks

very thin.

He buried his face in the pillow, his arms covered his forehead, and his

facial features were not visible. He could only see that his hair was black

and his skin was white.

"So, the little thing that sleeps in a ball is..." Sae Young asked knowingly

again.

Truth turned to look at him: "..."

Sae Young looked back at him innocently.

Afraid of being heard by Jiang Qi, Chu Si said with a cold face, "Do I have to

thank you for not using the word "little fool?"

Saer Young laughed, his light-colored eyes brightened when they were bent.

Jiang Qi tried to pick up the child who was curled up, but the child buried

his face deeper with the pillow and said something vaguely.

"You love the sofa if you put the bed without sleeping, you kid..." Jiang Qi

didn't insist, but raised his hand to probe the child's forehead and muttered,

"Is it sick?"

The child shook his head with his face buried, and finally said a clear word,

"sleepy." The voice has not changed, with the child's unique softness.

"All right..." Jiang Qi straightened up a little helplessly, turned his head

and smiled at Chu Si and Sae Yang, "My son, I'm not happy to move the nest

again when he falls asleep, just laughed."

Sae Young smiled lazily, "It's okay, it's interesting."

Chus: "..."

He is probably the most embarrassed person in this apartment. Jiang Qi and Sae

Yang said every word to me, and every sentence pierced his face, making him

feel the emotion of seeing the old man again. Clean and clean, nothing left.

Jiang Qi seemed to have just arrived home in that time and space. He motioned

for Chu Si and Sae Yang to sit on the sofa for a while, and said, "I'll get a

blanket for this kid."

Sae Young didn't mean to be polite at all, and directly chose a seat near the

love seat.

Jiang Qizheng pulled his slippers into the bedroom, and Chu Si glanced at his

back, then turned to look at Sae Young, revealing a slightly warning look in

his eyes.

However, as long as there is a reduced version of that curled up next to sleep

in the dark, the effect of all warnings will be greatly reduced.

Sure enough, Sae Young smiled meaningfully.

Chus: "..."

But to be honest, in the current situation, no matter what the ** thing did

or said, Truth would not be impatient or angry.

"You look very happy." Sae Young squinted at him. "Even a little excited, but

not relaxed."

I have to say that this person is sometimes as keen as a beast, able to smell

the slightest emotional changes——

Chu Si was indeed happy, because he once again saw Jiang Qi, the only one who

could be called his family, and he did not relax, because he knew that all of

this was temporary.

"You're such a...weird." Chu Si snorted and sat down beside him.

He has such a keen sense of emotion, but his empathy is surprisingly

indifferent.

The voices of the two of them were not high, but the child curled up on the

sofa moved. He lifted his eyes from the pillow, and glanced at them with a

rather impatient look with his frowning eyebrows.

His eyes were still tired, and he didn't seem to be fully awake. The look was

neither soft nor soft, and Sae Young didn't know which of the tendons was

wrong, but he beckoned at him, and he laughed and said in a low voice, "Hello,

little sir."

Chus: "..."

The child curled up on the sofa furrowed his eyebrows tighter, and seemed to

think that the man was sick, his squinted eyes quickly closed, and he buried

his head in the pillow again.

"The habit of finding things to bury your face as soon as you sleep turned out

to have been developed since then." Sae Young said.

Chus opened his mouth to choke back, but suddenly remembered something.

In his memory, he vaguely remembered that two neighbors were put in the door

by Jiang Qi because of the fingerprint lock failure.

That day Jiang Qi was originally scheduled to go to another place to hold an

academic research conference, which lasted about three days.

He suddenly had a headache while reading on the sofa, and because there was no

one at home, he didn't bother to go back to the bedroom and curled up directly

on the sofa.

As a result, when he was dizzy with pain, Jiang Qi returned because he had

forgotten to bring something with him.

Because of the headache, his memory of that night was a little vague and

incoherent. He just remembered that when he opened his eyes again, there

seemed to be two more people on the sofa.

He didn't even see what the other person looked like, young or old, but

vaguely remembered that the person said a word to him, called him the chief or

what.

He once thought that the scene behind was the result of mixing dreams and

reality. After all, it is impossible for anyone to call the sir to a child.

Now it seems... the two neighbors he has always impressed with are basically

Sae. Yang and himself.

But if what happened at this moment is what happened in his memory, then...

"I know what I need to look for." Truth looked at Sae Young.

"Talk about it." Sae Young straightened his long legs and changed to a more

comfortable position.

Chus lowered his voice and said, "A draft."

In his memory, something happened after the two neighbors left—an important

research draft of Jiang Qi was lost.
