Li Ruobai turned around in his chair as if nothing had happened, put the bottle behind him, and said, "You don't know how much I drink? This is nothing."
"Of course I know how much you drink. If you don't activate your body's ability, you'll just drink one glass."
Li Ruobai choked on a sip of wine, coughed repeatedly, and said with a wry smile: "Can you stop exposing yourself all the time?"
Lin Xi smiled, "I'll tell you to be tough!"
Li Ruobai sighed and said, "You can still laugh."
The smile on Lin Xi's face faded, "It's always fun to bully you."
"Do you have to get married like this?" Li Ruobai paused, feeling that the wording was a bit inappropriate, and then changed his words: "I mean, does it have to be so hasty? It's not too late to get married in forty or fifty!"
Lin Xi smiled and said nothing.
Li Ruobai sighed again and said, "Brother Xuancheng's matter can be big or small. He himself said that he was going to serve on the front line as a bargaining chip in exchange for freedom. In this case, there is no need to get married at this time."
Lin Xixuan said slowly: "That's what my family means. It's been decided."
"Your family..." Li Ruobai shook his head and said helplessly: "It's not easy for you to be born in the Lin family."
"This is a matter decided by the elders, especially since my great-grandfather nodded. It cannot be changed." Lin Xi looked at the time and said, "In 15 minutes, the news will be announced to the public."
Li Ruobai was startled, the exaggerated look on his face disappeared, and he asked seriously: "Sister Xi, let me ask you again, do you want to get married?"
"why not?"
"Really? Now!"
"My relationship with your brother Xuancheng is very good."
"Is it that kind of feeling?"
"Why not..." Lin Xi paused involuntarily, looked at Li Ruobai's face again, sighed, and said, "Maybe it was before."
"right?"
"...I don't know either." Lin Xi said slowly.
Li Ruobai breathed out and said, "I guess so. You grew up in the Lin family, it's strange that you understand what feelings are."
"What's the difference between having and not having feelings?"
"The difference is huge!" Li Ruobai covered his face and said, "I hope you surnamed Lin can understand feelings. I really..."
Lin Xi was a little confused and asked, "What do you want me to do? I can't really watch Xuan Cheng go to jail?"
"He has a way to exchange freedom! Then he just waits for the truth to come to light."
"A case as big as Project Andromeda could take more than ten years to investigate, not to mention several years. Do you think those people will give Xuancheng a chance to gain freedom? This move has probably been blocked. They don't have to do it. What, as long as the news is revealed, can Xuancheng still be able to leave?"
Li Ruobai was startled.
When the Andromeda Project failed, it was an uproar and the whole country knew about it. Anyone who is greedy for ink here will be extremely angry with the people. Li Xuancheng's exchange of military service for freedom during the investigation phase seems normal to insiders, but if someone deliberately manipulates public opinion, it can easily be regarded as absconding in fear of crime.
Li Ruobai did not think so deeply, and immediately said: "Brother Xuancheng is so poor, there is absolutely no corruption! When the investigation is completed, he will be cleared."
Lin Xi sighed and said, "I just said that the investigation may last for several years. What those people want is to imprison Xuancheng. Even if his innocence is proven in a few years, this period of time is different from actually going to jail. What's the difference?"
Li Xuancheng scratched his head, "But if you get married now, what problems can you solve?"
Lin Xi said slowly: "I have roughly figured it out in the past two days. Something happened to our winter hunting, and miraculously we came back alive. Our Lin family's investigation of this matter has just begun, and there are many methods we can use. Even if the method is a bit unconventional, with the support of various parties related to Winter Hunting, you can use it first. Check who is not checking, and check a few more by the way. If those people are not stupid, they should not be at this point. Provoke the Lin family. We are not as easy to bully as Huanyu Juxing."
"You elders of the Lin family are really good to Brother Xuancheng. I think they are much better than they are to you."
Lin Xi sighed softly and said: "They are very good to me. They will give me priority whatever resources they have. As long as it is good for me, they have never been stingy. It's just..."
Li Ruobai answered for her: "It's just that they never listen to your ideas, and they don't care whether what they give you is what you want."
After a moment of silence, Li Ruobai asked: "Do you really want to get married? If you don't want to, I can go and tell Xuan Cheng, and he will never force you."
Lin Xi hesitated slightly, and then said softly but firmly: "I want to get married."
"Well, I wish you happiness."
After cutting off the communication, Li Ruobai waved his hand violently and swept all the wine bottles off the table, causing them to explode on the wall.
The world in Chu Jungui's consciousness was originally completely black, and then there was a little white light in the center. The halo continued to expand, and sounds began to appear again in the silent world.
"The effects of anesthesia have been eliminated, the target's vital signs are stable, and the resuscitation procedure has begun."
The numbness faded away like a tide, and the limbs regained consciousness. Then the self-examination program of the test body began to start, and each functional component came online one by one.
He woke up.
Chu Jungui opened his eyes, and what he saw was dozens of pairs of eyes staring at him, each one shining green light.
But his attention immediately shifted to his left hand. The feeling was both familiar and unfamiliar. The new arm was almost exactly the same as the old one, but the explosive power contained in the dozens of muscle fibers inside made his hair stand on end.
A female researcher came over and said: "Are you awake? Sit up slowly. Don't use your left hand first, use your right hand to exert force. Yes, that's it. Next, we will conduct a series of tests on your left hand to determine all functions All can be used normally. This process will be a bit long, so be patient.”
Chu Jungui nodded, got off the operating table where he had been lying for a week, and put on the white robe handed to him by the person next to him.
The female researcher took Chu Jun back to an empty room with nothing in it, and a circle lit up in the center of the floor.
"Stand inside and just follow the instructions. Do you understand?"
Chu Jungui felt a sudden pain in his head, and the scene before his eyes blurred. The female researcher's face kept changing, transforming into the faces of familiar space base researchers. Her voice also became erratic.
"……do you understand?"
"……do you understand?"
The female researcher asked several times in a row before Chu Jungui recovered from his trance and whispered: "Understood."
The female researcher looked into his eyes carefully, and then said: "I have just recovered from anesthesia, so I will be a little uncomfortable. Don't worry, I will complete the test session as quickly as possible."
"I will cooperate." Chu Jungui replied instinctively.
The female researcher nodded, left the room, and closed the door.
