In the days after the injection, Ronan said goodbye to sleep. He had a sleepless night, and at home, Mo Peng was probably the only one who could fall asleep with nothing to worry about at night.
However, the next morning, it felt like last night's conversation had passed by in a flash. Previously, Ronan even ran out for morning exercise according to his living habits during this period, and said hello to Raven after being separated for the night.
When he returned home covered in a thin layer of sweat, he felt like he had gone back in time several days.
Ronan probably knew the reason: last night, after his uncle had thought about it for more than an hour in the study, the information he told his aunt had gone through another level of screening.
His uncle did not hide the fact that Ronan joined the Xiacheng Branch, but in his words, the Xiacheng Branch became a social group, something similar to a fraternity. Through this analogy, the complicated inner world becomes a relatively closed social circle, and the corresponding activities are more interpreted as "superpower interest research."
Can you come up with this explanation? Should it be described as "ginger is spicy when it is old"?
Ronan sat at the dining table, chewing beef slices in his mouth, but it was tasteless. He felt a little ridiculous in his heart. The huge flow of information was passed down three times and reduced layer by layer, and finally turned into a completely distorted answer.
Every time a flow is intercepted, the corresponding pressure must be borne by the interceptor. Ronan has this awareness, and his uncle has this awareness, but will his aunt really believe it?
And Moya.
Among the whole family, Moya should know the most about Ronan's background, and should also be the most suspicious. But ever since a tacit understanding was formed in the administrative center, she seemed to have no interest at all...
How is that possible?
After finally filling his stomach with food, Ronan didn't want to stay at home for a long time. He hurriedly washed and tidied up and said:
"I go to school."
"I'm leaving too." Mo Peng, who didn't wait for the notice of class suspension after all, was completely exhausted. He could only wave his hands feebly and followed Ronan out.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the entrance, Luo Shuqing suddenly said from behind: "It's getting late, I'll see you off."
"No need, it's just a matter of two steps... forget it and pretend I didn't say anything." Mo Peng rolled his eyes and left without looking back. It was a sad fact that his own son was no better than his own nephew. He had already fully realized this when he was wearing crotchless pants.
Ronan secretly screamed in pain. At this time, he could feel that his uncle and Moya were paying attention.
Not being able to go with Ruiwen, Qin Yikun and the others is a trivial matter. How to deal with her aunt along the way is the key. He couldn't refuse. It might have been possible before, but it was definitely not possible during this sensitive period.
He could only turn around and respond obediently: "Oh, thank you, aunt."
In response to an overly polite response, Ronan immediately opened a friend's advisory group, guided by his thoughts, and left a message asking for help: "Jianghu, help!"
Probably because the atmosphere from last night hadn't dissipated yet, we arrived just in time for dinner, and soon everyone in the group became active.
Zhang Yingying sighed with emotion: "Have you turned on the hell mode in your family? After passing one level after another, in this kind of environment, I am really thankful that I didn't develop you into a weakling!"
Maoyan from the security team said: "I think he's having a good time."
The bamboo pole followed closely: "Have you tried it? Hey, why is there an extra person in the group? A crow? That's good. We fox, crow, octopus and cat can make up a fairy tale."
The octopus made a "yawning" expression: "Come out and hand out a red envelope to cheer up the newcomer! By the way, who is the crow?"
"Khan, new guy?"
"Isn't this Boss Luo's friend group?"
"Boss Luo, please introduce me."
Just as the answer in Ronan's mind became clear, Baoyan had already asked tentatively: "Ruiwen?"
"Gah?"
At this time, Maoyan sent a photo with Ruiwen.
The two faces were close to each other, one was smiling brightly, while the other was looking at the camera indifferently. Under the illumination of indoor lights, one is charming and the other is...personalized.
"I had more free time in the evening, so I brought the little girl up. Look, I actually took care of my hair. It's very beautiful. The cool and handsome neutral style is the most popular now. When everything is fine, I took Ruiwen to go shopping. Let's have a good time. Dress up. Yingying wants to go?"
"Welcome newcomers! Let's go!" Zhang Yingying sprinkled flowers and applauded, creating a wave of excitement.
The atmosphere was very lively, and perhaps under Maoyan's instigation, Ruiwen actually sent an emoticon in the name of "crow", which was the first "smile" in the emoticon pack.
Compared with the indifference in the photo, there is a contrasting cuteness.
Zhugan, a tycoon who often makes extra money, immediately rained down money: "The more beauties, the better, and the deeper the relationship, the better... Crow, don't date me!"
Octopus was shocked: "It starts in three years!"
Maoyan responded with a middle finger: "If you can survive for three seconds, I will give you a thumbs up."
As far as reality is concerned, what Maoyan said is 100% true, but the question is, is it okay to digress now?
Ronan didn't have time to complain, he had already followed his aunt out and got into the car. Entering an independent closed space, and seeing that the person didn't mean to speak first, he felt that it would be more refreshing to take the initiative on his own:
"Aunt, yesterday...my uncle mentioned it to you?"
Ms. Luo Shuqing started the car, set it to automatic driving, and responded calmly: "We can still get by."
Apparently, Ronan couldn't speak clearly and confused "Ti" and "Li". But that's just the reason why my aunt is so picky. There must be someone more powerful in the future.
Ronan felt as if his hair was getting stiff, and the group gradually calmed down from the previous noise, focusing their attention through Ronan's perspective.
But at this moment, there was a communication access, and it was a video call directly requested.
Ronan glanced at it and saw that it was Zhai Weiwu.
He looked up, and Luo Shuqing motioned him to just do his own thing.
When the video was connected, nothing else was seen, only the child's face that was a little deformed with excitement, and then a scream that was about to break:
"Brother Nan, Brother Nan, you are so awesome!"
"ah?"
"It's successful, godfather, he's successful! Look at this, this!"
The little guy gently picked up a suspended water droplet as if offering a treasure, crushed it hard, and crushed it twice. But when the finger left for a second or two, the water droplets condensed again, growing from small to large, and were on the verge of falling.
At the same time that Zhai Weiwu was announcing the good news, the paper-cutting who had been invisible just now was also placing fireworks in the friend group, and also imitating the rich man with the bamboo pole, showering red envelopes with money:
"It's done. It took five years to achieve success. Boss Luo is a great talent!"
Not many people knew about Zhai Gong. Most of the people in the group looked confused: "What's wrong?"
How to explain paper-cutting to others is not Ronan's concern. He was also happy for Zhai Gong. At this moment, Zhai Gong's face also appeared on the virtual screen. The eyes of this adult in his forties seemed to be slightly red, and he was obviously emotional.
But even so, he was still more discerning than Zhai Weiwu. As soon as he saw Ronan's background, he knew it was not the time to talk more. He grinned: "Weiwu bothered you, I will just say it again, it's done." ! And it has also successfully stimulated the third layer of functions of Liu Er, crossing two thresholds in one step. Let’s talk about the details later..."
Of the six communication levels of Liuer, the first three are radio, television and computer. The first two only passively receive information, but at the third level, they have evolved to the human-computer interaction stage. According to Xia City's standards, they are qualified awakeners.
This means that Zhai Gong not only succeeded in making a semi-permanent "water condensing ring", but also used this magical structure to improve the level of soul power and cross the "awakening" barrier.
For an ability user, this is definitely a "carp leaping over the dragon gate" event. Even though Ronan is in trouble now, he is sincerely happy for Zhai Gong: "This is a great thing, congratulations!"
Zhai Gong tried hard to keep his smile and voice steady, but in the end he just said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you, Nanzi."
The communication was hung up, but the commotion in the friend group continued.
According to those people, people with abilities like Zhai Gong who have been wasting many years on the threshold of awakening will only gradually narrow their possibilities for awakening as they grow older. This is a big problem that makes those "non-awakened people" who account for nine-tenths of the population anxious and even desperate.
As for this success, there are evidences and rules to follow. Writing a big paper based on this is the minimum, and it is even possible to set up a project.
No matter how much the group tried to exaggerate the significance of this matter, Ronan couldn't care less. He immediately looked at his aunt, thinking about how to combine his uncle's statement and give a proper explanation.
Ms. Luo Shuqing looked very calm: "Is it Zhai Gong?"
"Yes, today's matter, well, there is a problem that has troubled him for a long time. I also had an idea and came up with an idea. Then he succeeded after testing it for a while, so he came to me to report the good news..."
Luo Shuqing smiled, said nothing, and moved her gaze forward to look at the high-speed magnetic track that continued to extend.
Worse.
Although in society, Ms. Luo Shuqing is a senior HR person who keeps her emotions secret, but every year, countless confident elites look forward to it and sigh when faced with the barrier she guards. But in front of her family, she is still very straightforward, saying one thing and another. Once she is silent, it means that she has something serious on her mind.
This won't work.
Ronan had a headache. No matter how determined he was to kill someone to shock him, it was only for the outside world. Changes in the family atmosphere cannot be stopped by destroying the human body.
He tried to communicate: "Aunt..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw Ms. Luo Shuqing pressing her elbows forward, leaning forward, and resting her chin on the back of her hands. She was lying on the steering wheel, still looking straight at the road ahead.
At this moment, she was no longer a serious elder, nor was she a dignified executive at all times. Instead, she seemed to have returned to the age of lost youth twenty years ago.
Ronan was stunned.
