The fact that the cloaked Elder Bruch captured the escaped Monique was like an insignificant episode, as if a pebble thrown into the turbulent sea of filth and evil people on the lighthouse star did not cause anything. waves. The old monster disappeared as soon as he appeared, and the invitation to Gu Hanhan to play in the tribunal's cell failed. Gu Hanhan was frightened for several days, but gradually felt relieved, so he went to college in a serious manner. Life is divided into classrooms, dormitories and laboratories. Going to bed late and getting up early, packed lunches and brainwaves are flying at the same time, and I focus on boring scientific research.
This is not because Gu Hanhan loves scientific research. Apart from her value as a research sample, she is still far from being able to endure the boring, lonely and lonely nature of science. However, listen to people's advice and eat enough. Since Anthony told her to stay well and Rowling told her to hide honestly, then she, Gu Hanhan, will be obedient to the cat school, and a group of people who have prepared the questions are squatting in the University Town and Xinghua Alley, waiting to be filmed. The entertainment journalists who made the headlines were very miserable.
The current situation on the Lighthouse Star is quiet and strange. The luxurious and noble banquet is held every night as usual. Monique and his friends are still squatting in the prison of the Inquisition and have not been released. Zou Yan disappeared for a few days and reappeared in the experiment. room, she said that recent events had confused her and she needed to be quiet here.
The emperor of Ogra held various banquets frequently. Regardless of whether he sent invitations to Antony, according to one of the valets, after the Golden Banquet, Antony never went out again, let alone attended any banquets. But he began to see guests, and those ambitious people who had previously been turned away by invitations could get a glimpse of the door. Anthony now not only accepted their gifts, but also met with them. Gu Hanhan didn't know if there were envoys from Emperor Ogra among the speculators who met with Anthony or even had further discussions. According to one of the valets, there were not, but Gu Hanhan still felt uneasy.
David would call from time to time, but he never came to take Gu Hanhan to spend the night in the villa, and he never mentioned the duel that night again. He seemed to be very busy, even apologetically saying that he couldn't be with her on Thursday, the day we agreed to have a tryst.
"I'm really busy. I may not be able to spend time with you until after the New Year." This is what he said.
"Is there any trouble?" Gu Hanhan asked.
"It's nothing special," David said. "It's always so busy before the New Year celebrations every year."
Gu Hanhan once speculated in a joking manner that David might be like Anthony in that he wanted to cool down the incident without meeting her, or to go further, he had begun to calmly think about their relationship, and maybe he was considering a relationship with her. "separate". Isn't there a joke - once a man says he's busy, it's the beginning of his change of heart. However, Gu Hanhan always felt that the matter was not that simple. From David's plain tone, she could vaguely feel that the truth was not as plain as David said, but instead there was a sense of nervousness about to come.
No matter what kind of intuition Gu Hanhan had, it was just intuition after all. No matter Anthony or David, there is no evidence to prove that they lied or concealed. Where the lighthouse star's trend will flow is beyond her ability. Faced with this situation, Gu Hanhan had no other choice but to comfort himself by talking about scientific research.
A door to the laboratory was closed, blocking out all the stormy weather in the lighthouse star. Gu Hanhan turned his back on what was going on outside the window. Between the boring experiments and the step-by-step classes, the days always flew by. In the blink of an eye, New Year's Day was here. arrive.
All schools in the university town rush to complete all subject examinations on the day before the New Year, and have their winter vacation half a day in advance. The campus is full of young students hanging out with their friends. Many international students from the civilian class didn't even return to their dormitories. They just grabbed their bags and got in the car, embarking on the most pleasant winter vacation trip of the year.
On the contrary, students from wealthy aristocratic families were unable to start their winter vacation immediately. The embassies of various countries in the lighthouse star will hold breakfast meetings and issue New Year's greetings in the early morning of New Year's Day, and the night before New Year's Day is the time for New Year's celebrations of various superpower families. All the vassals of the family will gather together, hold grand worship and present gifts to show their allegiance. Any changes in the order within the family will be announced and determined at the celebration. After this, the protracted autumn banquet of Lighthouse Star finally came to an end, and the holidays of the nobles officially began.
Gu Hanhan completed today's experiment early, changed his clothes, and walked out of the testing site briskly. Today is New Year's Eve. Fellow international students from Earth are celebrating together and have already made an appointment to have a dinner together in the evening. It was now four o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. Bei had to finish all the experiments today. He had to go out at seven o'clock, and the agreed time for dinner was 7:30 in the evening. In total, there were still more than two hours left. Gu Hanhan decided to take advantage of this opportunity. Yingxing, who is not too far from the test site, will go shopping in the mall and buy some New Year gifts for his classmates and fellow villagers. It would be appropriate to come back after buying gifts and meet up with Mr. Bei for dinner.
Walking out of the space platform, there was an unmarked space shuttle not far away. Lucas was wearing sunglasses and leaning against the side of the airship, smoking. When he saw Gu Hanhan, he put out his cigarette, put away his sunglasses and came towards her.
"Miss out?" he asked.
"Yeah," Gu Hanhan said, ""I haven't gone shopping for a long time. I heard that Yingxing's hypermarket is the Yiwu of the universe and Nansanjo of the Milky Way. I want to remember it in the New Year.
Lucas didn't have any thoughts about Gu Hanhan visiting the wholesale market to buy cheap goods. He only knew that with his strength, he could guarantee Gu Hanhan's safety in that kind of place. So he opened the cabin door and asked Gu Hanhan to board the plane. Gu Hanhan thought that even if he troubled the driver of the laboratory, Lucas would inevitably fall behind, so he simply saved energy and actually got into his car.
The shuttle was equipped with drivers, servants and even cooks, so there was no need for Lucas to drive it himself. So after the servants brought Gu Hanhan's favorite fresh fruits and desserts, he stood next to the seat to accompany her.
Gu Hanhan looked at the interior layout of the shuttle and was very curious about its owner, Lucas. It was a style that was simple to the extreme. Except for the basic comfort, there was no extra luxury at all, but the lights were extremely bright. Gu Hanhan felt that this place was very similar to David's residence - it was also so bright, as if it could penetrate the dark universe. It is also so simple, as if you can leave at any time - of course, both David's residence and David's airship are extremely luxurious, but that kind of luxury lacks popularity, as if it is imposed by the outside world and belongs to the big world. Wei-Dulan's identity is not close to David. Remove the superficial luxury, and all that remains is simplicity and conciseness.
"Your new airship, Mr. Lucas?" she asked. "I don't remember it looking like this before. It's a little more... imposing."
"Oh, that one was issued by the Family Affairs Administration when I left the training camp," Lucas replied, "Now this one was given by the master. I like it very much."
Since David was mentioned, Gu Hanhan asked: "Are you still following me today so you don't have to go back to attend the New Year celebration? I heard it is very important. Where you stand will affect your status in the family in the new year."
"Although the celebration is important, it is not as important as protecting the lady. The order the master has given me now is to protect the lady." Lucas smiled: "Besides, there is no place for me to stand in the main hall of the official residence."
Gu Hanhan felt very sorry because before going out, David called her specifically to invite her to the New Year's celebration at Dulan's house tonight. If she agrees, Lucas can go back with her without having to miss the celebration like now - according to the custom that Hanhan heard from Sister Luo Lin, the New Year's celebration of the superpower family is very special to all the vassals. Big day. If he is a vassal who cannot appear at the celebration, he will be considered to be extremely unpopular with his master and will be rejected. His status in the family will immediately plummet.
However, at that time, Gu Hanhan was only thinking about sneaking back to celebrate the New Year with Anthony, giving him a surprise, and having an earlier gathering of international students from Earth. Moreover, Gu Hanhan was very worried about a formal occasion like the Dulan family's New Year's celebration. If he showed up rashly, it would be very inappropriate and would not only cause misunderstandings from others, but even worse, David's misunderstandings, so he refused without hesitation. .
David didn't strongly invite him, so he just ignored it when Gu Hanhan refused: "Well, it's okay if you don't come. The timing is really not the best now, and you must be impatient with such a boring scene. Maybe it will be updated next year." Okay. I will come to accompany you after the celebration is over..."
The shuttle made a half circle in Yingxing's atmosphere and landed at the door of the hypermarket that Gu Hanhan mentioned. The wholesale market was crowded with people from all the planets in the Exile Star Territory who came to buy new year's goods. It seemed that there were quite a few people who remembered "Yiwu of the Universe, South Sanjo of the Galaxy".
Gu Hanhan felt like a fish in water and got in with a swipe. Lucas, a dignified seventh-level combat superpower, struggled to keep up with the Earth girl, and finally managed to keep up with the Earth girl without losing her.
Gu Hanhan wandered around in front of various stalls and fell in love with a set of handmade DIY toolboxes with characteristics of the AD era. He wanted to give it to Mr. Bei. He just picked it up and before he had time to negotiate the price, the ring flashed and came. communication.
Gu Hanhan glanced at the frequency band and saw that it was Xie Shangjun's, and quickly picked it up.
"Hanhan? Are you in Yingxing? Great! Come to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce quickly!" Xie Shangjun's hurried voice came from the communication, "We are in urgent need, and I must ask you for a favor!"
Before Gu Hanhan could react, he held the ring and kept asking: "Hey, what's the matter? Mr. Xie, how can I help you..."
"Yingxing Thirteenth Orbit, Chinese Business Club, I'll wait for you at the gate, see you there or not -" After saying that, Xie Shangjun hung up the phone.
After being stunned for a moment, Gu Hanhan immediately dialed Xie Shangjun back. However, there was silence on the other end. Not even a blind person could be heard. The system showed that the other party had closed the ring terminal.
There's no way around it! If Mr. Xie could get through or ask what was going on, Gu Hanhan might not be worried, but in this situation, Gu Hanhan couldn't help but be anxious——
Could something have happened? Was he injured, had a fight, or was he kidnapped?
The more Gu Hanhan thought about it, the more worried he became. He threw the tool box away, turned around and squeezed outside.
"Mr. Lucas, you have no problem with fighting or anything like that - what's Secretary Xie's communication about? I have to contact his family as soon as possible."
