The off-road vehicle rolled over the night and sped on the high-speed magnetic track road outside Xia City. Clara was silent and dazed all the way. She was about to meet the brilliant lights of the city before she came back to her senses a little. That was also because Bai Yu sent a message to remind her.
"Where are you? Don't turn around. I'm freezing to death." Bai Yu's message was followed by an expression showing his teeth chattering up and down in the ice and shivering.
Clara couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, then looked at the night outside, and replied using the virtual keyboard: "We have entered the rooftop area."
The luminous effect of the virtual keyboard flashes in the back seat space. The little girl always likes to design some gorgeous colors. She usually thinks it is very gorgeous, but you can see the thin figure and calm and serious face of her peer under the fancy colorful lights. Clara suddenly felt that the originally spacious back seat of the car became cramped.
The complicated emotions that she had struggled to suppress in the previous half hour were all exposed to others like the flickering light in the carriage - at least that's what Clara thought.
She subconsciously held her breath, turned off the keyboard, and wanted to return to her previous state of silence.
The person next to her seemed to turn her head and glance at her, but it seemed that she didn't, but Clara felt that her whole body was becoming sensitive. The slightly curly long hair is dotted on the exposed nape of the neck, and is obviously slightly damp. The twenty-minute drive had not dried up the moisture in the villa's hot spring, and it was like a weed-like thought in her heart.
At that time, Xi Wei hinted intentionally or unintentionally that her own assumptions, including her preparation for self-destruction, seemed absurd and despicable in front of the magnanimous behavior of the peer who had only been with her for half a day.
Clara still didn't know, or didn't want to know if Ronan understood her "preparation". She could only lower her head like a quail, letting the imagination and hallucinations in the darkness intertwine into a web, tightening around her forehead and body. Chest, breathing hard.
The invisible hand of time suddenly moved faster and slower, teasing and torturing her. This feeling that could only be experienced by herself seemed to be more uncomfortable than the conflict outside the restaurant an hour ago. Until...until the off-road vehicle reaches the end of the field.
"That's Bai Yu, right?"
Ronan finally spoke, and following his words, the off-road vehicle cut into the city road and slowly stopped on the side of the road.
Bai Yu, who had wrapped herself into a ball of fur, was jumping under the streetlight. When she saw a hard-core truck approaching like a small tank, she subconsciously jumped back a step. Only then did she see the car door open. Ronan, who was dressed in thin casual clothes, got out of the car and walked out from the other side. The one who got off the side and walked around the back of the car was Clara.
Bai Yu swooped on the spot, hugged Clara, and said "Idiot" more than a dozen times. Clara originally thought that her family had passed the most difficult point, but this series of voices hit her ears, and those words hidden in the corners of her heart were Her emotions burst out again, and she hugged Bai Yu with her backhand, and started to cry again.
There was really nothing Ronan could do about this situation, and he immediately wanted to run away. He saw Clara hugging Bai Yu wholeheartedly and crying bitterly. The latter came back to his senses a little, so he concentrated his voice and said in her ear:
"Your home is nearby, right? Clara, please take care of me and call me if you need anything."
Bai Yu was dressed like a fur ball and had to hold Clara, who was already weak from crying, still shaking. It was very hard. Seeing Ronan actually throwing away his hands and starting to leave, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide, but he couldn't accuse him of anything, so he could only pouted: "My house is right behind, why don't you go and sit down?"
"I have an appointment with someone here, and I want to take the first step."
Ronan didn't have time to watch the two little girls hug each other and cry. And he wasn't lying. His daily schedule was full, and he would indeed meet with an important person soon.
He turned to leave, but when he saw Bai Yu being hugged by Clara, unable to move a step, he thought about it and finally decided to do the good thing to the end: “Get in the car, I’ll take you to the door of your house... Clara Are you going to sleep at the doll’s house today?”
Bai Yu exhaled a breath of white steam: "Ah, ah, I almost thought I was going to run with the ball."
The little girl spoke uncontrollably and her metaphors were seriously wrong, but she gave Clara a slap in the face, and she couldn't cry anymore for a while.
Ronan was helpless and could only ask the two girls to get in the car and let Bai Yu show the way to the residential area behind.
Clara relaxed a lot now that she had friends by her side. At this time, she curled up in Bai Yu's arms. She stopped crying, but fell asleep in a daze. This was probably the sequelae of rapid relaxation after mental tension.
There was Clara between Ronan and Bai Yu, so it was not convenient for them to talk, but after thinking about it, they still took advantage of Clara's curling up to signal Bai Yu to come closer, and reminded him in a low voice:
"She is quite lucky and did not suffer a big loss. Just remember this. In addition, I didn't tell Brother Hai Jing about today's matter...don't be too happy!"
Seeing Bai Yu's relieved look, Ronan felt heartbroken. The little girl didn't even know how many people were troubled by this matter tonight. He coughed softly: "You must pay attention to the fact that Xia City is not peaceful recently, and there seems to be some kind of virus circulating. My elder sister is also involved in your circle. It is indeed very complicated. The more you make friends like this, the more difficult it becomes. Be careful, otherwise you will be caught unawares. I will help you get in touch later, and you will all go get a physical check-up."
This old-fashioned and pointed words made Bai Yu open his eyes wide again, wishing he could open his mouth and bite someone. But at this time, the off-road vehicle driven by Gaode stopped right outside Bai Yu's house. Ronan no longer gave Bai Yu a chance to speak, kicked the two girls out of the car, and drove away.
Later, Bai Yu waved her fist at the taillights of the car resentfully. Ronan could only shrug and looked at his watch again. It was less than nine o'clock in the evening, so his schedule was relatively economical.
That's right, since He Donglou's request for cooperation was blocked by him, the rest of the meal time relied on Xi Wei's top-notch social skills to barely reach the border of "the guest and the host enjoy themselves".
In this way, the meal would not last too long, and it would end at around 7:30. After that, Clara would be examined and given away, and most of the time would be spent on the road.
Ronan sighed and touched his forehead. His thinking was not particularly smooth. When talking about cooperation at the dinner, he felt strange that the relationship between He Yueyin and the He family seemed to be more distant than imagined.
This invitation was obviously transferred by He Yueyin as the intermediary - since the lecture on the 14th, Ronan's private communication has been in "friends and relatives mode". As long as it is not in the address book, everyone will automatically reject the call.
He Dong contacted him, thanks to He Yueyin's message. Because of this, Ronan was particularly disdainful of the idea of He Donglou, or the He family behind him, wanting to start a new business.
If it weren't for the fact that the eldest son of the He family had solved the "winter solstice battle", he wouldn't even bother to smile.
After thinking for a moment, Ronan felt that he still needed to communicate with He Yueyin, at least to report today's situation. He directly dialed He Yueyin's six-ear communication number, and this time it was quickly connected:
"Mr. Luo?"
"Sister Yueyin, I met with He Donglou. The meeting gift he gave was quite good, and he settled the issue of the Winter Solstice battle with the monastery leader. But judging from his intentions, he wanted to get the 'bricks' I did not agree to license the technology, produce it and put it on the market.”
The so-called "brick" is the "bracelet" mentioned at the dinner, which is the imitation movement device designed by Ronan in order to consolidate the results of the Blood Intent Ring.
The reason for such a code name is that on the one hand, the real name of the blood ring is "Fortress", which can be regarded as "brick by brick" when taken apart; on the other hand, Ronan is making fun of himself.
The technical content of this thing is really low. Ronan feels that it is not even as good as the basic movement products in the Tai Chi ball of the master of the temple. It is barely integrated to imitate the movement functions in the Frost River Reality Burner Simulator system. Chip level.
The structure is fragile, the function is single, the yield rate is low, and the failure rate is high. That is to say, the blood ring frame is still floating in the abyss. It does have some guiding effect, otherwise it would be too heavy to be used as a toy.
In Ronan's view, this "brick" is the most standard failed product. It is backed by the "Virtual Brain System" and with such detailed instructions for use. He even copied and deceived it, and the first product he created turned out to be Such a thing would make him feel ashamed even if others didn't talk about it.
So when He Donglou mentioned the cooperation on this thing, in Ronan's opinion, it was really a slap in the face from "PiaPia". Even if there was no He Yueyin standing in the way, he would pass it immediately.
Regarding Ronan's decision, He Yueyin did not ask for the reasons or details. This is her comforting trait. She will never waste time talking about what has happened. She will only use the most practical angle to seek a better solution. solve:
"Donglou is just here to express an attitude. It's okay to refuse. It will not affect the overall attitude of the He family... I remember sir, you said that you hope to further improve the design of the 'brick'. If the current research and development conditions provided by the branch can still To meet the needs, there is no need to rush to deliver results to avoid distraction.”
Ronan felt that He Yueyin really spoke to his heart.
I have two hours of dinner time tonight, so what can I do? Well, of course I can cut off the "winter solstice date", which is worth the price.
Naturally, he also wanted to express his gratitude: "Anyway, if you can help solve the troubles of the monastery master, I will definitely appreciate it. I told him over there at He Donglou, Sister Yueyin, you might as well help me convey it to you. .”
Ronan's words actually meant "I only recognize you from the He family", which was a small gesture of support. However, He Yueyin just replied: "Donglu just say it once. Besides, this is what the He family should do."
Ronan didn't understand this sentence.
Then He Yueyin changed the topic: "Mr. Luo, I have sent you the latest information about the investigation of aberration infection. As mentioned above, although Lan Lin is a virus carrier, he was found in the Municipal Square on the 17th of last month. After the incident, the relevant departments have made harmless treatment, which can basically rule out the possibility of him becoming a source of transmission again."
Ronan clicked his tongue: "Like that Ji Qiong, it would be easier to catch him directly... Wait, is this meant to be used as bait?"
