The meeting lasted until late at night.
Zhou Jinru walked out of the venue and saw Xing Xiong already waiting outside.
"Doctor, Dr. Kelsey asked me to pick you up."
When the words arrived, Zhou Jinru could only follow her into the car and drive all the way back to Rhode Island's office in the Grand Knight's Landing.
Looking outside through the car window, there are knights patrolling the road from time to time, and the originally bustling streets have become much deserted.
Xingxiong looked at the doctor in the rearview mirror and said calmly: "I heard that there will be a curfew soon. I believe many people have never seen such a scene."
"Of course, the last Uka war happened a long time ago, long enough for the new generation to forget what war is."
Zhou Jinru looked away and asked, "I remember I had a prisoner. Did he speak?"
"I don't know," Xing Xiong held the steering wheel with both hands, "I am not the one responsible for interrogating. The doctor should ask Dr. Kelsey."
Kelsey...
Zhou Jinru had a headache. He hadn't figured out how to face the big lynx yet. He and Yin Hui went out to scout before to avoid her.
Now that the person is right in front, I can't help but feel a little uneasy.
Xing Xiong suddenly asked: "How is the relationship between Doctor and Doctor Kelsey?"
"Okay, why do you ask?"
"I was wondering if you would fight, after all..."
Xingxiong wanted to say that she had learned from the past several times, but considering the doctor's face, she held back and did not continue.
Zhou Jinru's face darkened. She had indeed been beaten by the big lynx several times, but they were all given to her. Now, even without a rigid shield, the big lynx couldn't hit her.
These words cannot be uttered. Zhou Jinru said slowly: "This is our business."
Xiong Xiong leaned back and said no more words.
As a doctor, I need to give you some face.
Zhou Jinru sighed and remembered seeing Chen and Yanguo people sitting together in the conference room, so he asked: "Why did Chen get together with Yanguo Dali Temple?"
"This matter is a long story..."
Xingxiong's expression twitched, as if he had encountered something unspeakable.
"To make a long story short, what happened?"
"The Yanguo man said that Old Chen was some kind of princess, and that she was one level lower than Mr. Wei, so he dragged her to the meeting. In addition, the doctor was not here, and Old Chen wanted to talk to Miss Jingzhe... Anyway, I I can’t stop her, she’s the princess, who am I?”
It was rare to hear Xing Xiong complain, and Zhou Jinru felt it was particularly refreshing. It turned out that so many interesting news happened while he was away.
As for the Yanguo person she mentioned, he was probably Yu Zelin.
The former Minister of Dali Temple was not polite at all at the meeting, including the first sentence he spoke, where he ridiculed the participants from all over the world. In any case, he had enough of his talk.
"Please wait for her matters. I have a headache."
Zhou Jinru really didn't have the energy to bother with anything else.
…
After returning to the station, he walked straight to Kelsey's temporary clinic. When he arrived at the door, he saw the big lynx carrying a hot water bottle and was about to enter.
"What a coincidence?"
Zhou Jinru scratched his hair in embarrassment.
Kelsey said calmly: "Just came back?"
"yes."
Zhou Jinru lowered his head and glanced at his dirty coat. He had not taken a shower for a whole month, and even washed every day as if he were surviving in the wild. In short, he looked very ugly now.
When he was considering whether to change clothes first, Kelsi had already opened the door and tilted her head: "Come in first, there is a bathroom in my room, you wash it, and I will get you clothes. "
"oh."
Zhou Jinru subconsciously walked in with her without any awkwardness. It wasn't until he was standing in the bathroom taking off his clothes that he remembered that their relationship had become so good.
The warm water washed over the body, and the voice of the big lynx came from outside the door: "I left my clothes outside."
"oh."
In the end, the embarrassment disappeared.
Zhou Jinru closed his eyes resignedly and let the water splash on his face.
His face in the mirror was still pale, and his strong body exuded a faint vapor. His fingers moved down from his neck little by little, and when they touched a ferocious scar in front of his chest, the laxity in his eyes gradually solidified.
After putting on the clothes prepared by Kelxi, Zhou Jinru walked out of the bathroom and saw the lynx sitting at the desk writing something.
He had the illusion that he had seen a similar scene before.
Step by step forward, he stretched out his palm and gently placed it on the woman's shoulder, confirming that she would not disappear from his face and would not be stingy, leaving only her back.
The next second, Zhou Jinru quickly retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted again.
Hearing movement behind him, the swivel chair slowly rotated. Kelsey raised her head and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhou Jinru's voice was hoarse: "I remembered the hallucinations I had seen before."
"Don't confuse hallucinations with reality, doctor. You've had a hard time out scouting. Let me make you a cup of coffee."
Kelxi stood up and prepared a cup of coffee for Zhou Jinru. She sat back down, turned the pen in her hand, and supported her head with her other hand: "Is there no result from the impromptu meeting?"
Zhou Jinru took a sip of the instant coffee. It didn't matter what the taste was. The main thing was that Kelsey brewed it. He didn't expect that one day he would be able to enjoy Kelsey's exclusive service. It was worth it.
"What can be the result? What I see is nothing more than fighting with each other, being wary of each other, and not even being able to exchange the most basic information."
Zhou Jinru raised the coffee cup: "Casimir is worried that Ursus will stab him in the back, Letania and Victoria have never been at odds, Yanguo and Iberia each play their own way, Dongguo is eager to express himself, Rem Billiton I’ve been messing around with Victoria for a month, and I haven’t seen a representative of Sami yet. Sargon is better, in bulk, and the pashas don’t obey anyone else.”
"That doesn't sound good."
Not only was it not good, the fight against Dong Zhuo by the eighteen princes back then was not so piecemeal!
Different regions, different cultures, different races, the gap is deeper than the Grand Canyon. Zhou Jinru can't imagine how long it will take them to get along.
The signature pen rotated in a circle on her slender fingertips, and Kelsi said again: "Isn't that what you predicted from the beginning? Since you even went to scout in person, you definitely didn't have much hope for them, so why would you? So disappointed?"
"Because I actually had a glimmer of unrealistic hope that they could put aside their past grievances and unite."
Zhou Jinru drank the coffee and placed the cup on the desk behind Kelxi.
He sighed: "Let's talk about something else. How is Amiya doing lately?"
"She's fine, just a little problem."
Zhou Jinru raised his eyebrows: "What's the problem?"
Kelsey was about to speak when the voice of the person involved suddenly came from the door.
