Roger Hunter participated in their project as a special consultant invited by the base. Because of her work needs, she had a lot of contact with Hunter.
Although Alice had a brief contact with Hunter when she was in school, at that time she was focused on George. So I don’t know much about Hunter, but I have a vague impression that this man is a cheerful and enthusiastic big boy.
However, after getting in touch with him this time, I found that Roger Hunter no longer looked like he was when he was a teenager, but more like a gentleman and considerate.
Alice's work has actually entered the final stage, and only the final work is left. Hunter volunteered to accompany her through the final stages of data collection.
"Thank you for coming to the laboratory with me. It would be difficult for me to complete it alone." Alice politely thanked Roger Hunter.
The young man smiled, shook his head, and replied softly: "I want to thank you for giving me an opportunity to show your courtesy to the lady. This is my honor."
Alice felt awkward.
The two walked to the laboratory. Hunter opened the door first and made an invitation gesture. Alice smiled and nodded in thanks.
Entering the laboratory, Hunter thoughtfully opened the curtains in the entire laboratory, and the dark room suddenly became bright.
No matter what she needed for this data collection, Hunter could always prepare it for her one step ahead of her. It originally took half a day's work, but they completed the task in two hours.
"It's finally done," Hunter looked at the time: "Just in time to go to the cafeteria together?"
Alice thought that George should still be training at this time, so she agreed to Hunter's invitation.
"Do you have any plans for the evening? I heard that there is a new bar nearby. Let's go and relax at night?" Hunter ordered dinner and extended an invitation to her for the evening.
Alice declined the invitation without hesitation.
"Is it because of George?" the man asked.
"That's right." Alice admitted generously.
"I'm so envious. When you were in school, you only had eyes for him, and it's still the same now." Hunter wiped his mouth and continued: "But I heard that you guys broke up later?"
Alice told how they met and reconciled.
"what a pity."
"?"
"If I had met you earlier I would have had a chance."
Alice smiled; "Don't be ridiculous, Hunter." Her eyes passed over the ring on his left hand.
"I don't think I'm kidding." Hunter looked serious, and Alice felt embarrassed for a moment.
She quickly changed the subject: "Okay, don't keep talking about me. I remember that you majored in interstellar languages. How could you...?"
"Politics?"
"right."
Alice was curious, this was so different from his character.
"Because I understand that if you want to hold on to something, you won't be able to hold on to it without strong power. You can only watch your cherished things being taken away and you can't do anything about it."
Alice stared at the seemingly indifferent attitude of the young man in front of her, feeling uneasy in her heart. Her sixth sense told her that the man in front of her must have experienced a huge change to behave like this.
But she didn't dare to comfort her rashly. She knew that excellent people would not allow their vulnerability to be exposed in front of outsiders and be pitied.
"I envy George very much. He was a famous figure wherever he went when he was in school. He easily won your favor. Now he is about to become the youngest lieutenant colonel in the entire Constellation. Who wouldn't envy this life?" Hunter said Although Li said envious words, his tone was careless.
"You are very good, but George is not as considerate as you. He doesn't know that I never eat 'Lai Ming Cao'." She smiled and praised the man in front of her who was picking out names from the salad.
"You also know that George doesn't like to talk and is boring. He's not as fun to be with you." Alice smiled unconsciously when she saw the man, and she gradually felt relieved. She didn't want Hunter to feel inferior because of George.
She didn't say that George would never order food with 'herb' on it. Moreover, although she took the initiative most of the time when she was with George, George would always respond to her immediately, which made her feel at ease.
"Well, Alice, why don't you leave George and come to me." The man put down the tableware, looked at her deeply, and issued a sincere invitation.
"Huh?" Alice was stunned, then realized and refused quickly, "No, I..." She originally wanted to reject Hunter directly, but suddenly thought that the man just now had a problem with George. She didn't want any misunderstanding between the two of them.
"Alice, I have always liked you. I have liked you since college." He paused for a moment and extended his hand to Alice to invite: "Do you want to come to my side? I will give you everything you want."
Faced with the man's direct confession, Alice left and became serious. She knew that she had to respond seriously to be worthy of this love.
"I also want to know, do you want to leave me?"
Ellie turned around in shock, only to find that George had been standing behind her at some point.
…
Zheng Xiyao picked up the water on the table and took a sip.
Squid Girl: [Baba, keep going. The results of it? 】
Little Sweetheart: [Baba, what happened to them? Who did Alice choose? 】
Zheng Xiyao put down the water glass, supported her chin and replied calmly: [You really want to know? 】
【think. 】
【+1】
【+1】
Zheng Xiyao fiddled with the pen in her hand casually, "But I don't want to talk about it now." 】
[Baba, I don’t want you to be so appetizing. 】
[That’s right, how can we sleep tonight if you’re like this? 】
Zheng Xiyao smiled mischievously and said, "I don't care." 】The willful and arrogant answer made other people in the live broadcast room want to be angry but couldn't.
"But I also want to know."
"No one can do it." Zheng Xiyao blurted out. Then, suddenly she realized that someone was talking to her.
She stood up immediately and found Hawke pushing the door open at some point and standing at her door with his hands folded across his chest.
"Why are you here?" Zheng Xiyao asked guiltily.
"You haven't answered me yet," he said, approaching her.
Zheng Xiyao grabbed the edge of the table with both hands, looked at the man's stern face, and her heart trembled, because the cold gaze in the man's pupils told her that this man was Hawke's second personality.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be watching the live broadcast too."
"I didn't expect that I would actually see my fiancée in the live broadcast room." He reached out and touched her cheek. "It was like telling a story, talking about our past experiences."
Zheng Xiyao hurriedly avoided the man's hand and fell backwards involuntarily. Hawke's hand stopped hers one step before hers, and with a strong force, he pulled her towards him.
"This is just my personal hobby." Zheng Xiyao ordered herself to calm down. "And I didn't say your name. I used fake names." She defended.
"Besides, we're not married yet, so what qualifications do you have to care about me?" She whispered.
Hawke looked at the woman's panicked eyes and laughed softly: "What, you still want to go to the Ace Barrier?"
When Zheng Xiyao heard this, her body couldn't stop trembling, "I don't want to."
"Then, am I qualified to control you?"
"Yes." Zheng Xiyao replied immediately.
"So, what was your answer at that time?" He grabbed Zheng Xiyao's chin, forcing her to face the man head-on.
"I……"
"Wait a minute." The man kept holding Zheng Xi's hand and controlling his brain.
The live broadcast room has gone crazy.
【Who is this person? 】
[Why does he talk like this? 】
[Look, he touched Barba? 】
[Isn’t this person a pervert? 】
[We called the police, I felt so dangerous. 】
"Ha." The man laughed lightly as everyone in front of him guessed.
