There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

"Huh? What's wrong?"

It wasn't until someone called him that Chen came out of his daze.

"Commander Wei mentioned something about security..."

Shaking the documents in his hand, Xingxiong moved sideways and came in, closing the door behind him.

"Just follow his wishes. Hasn't he made all the arrangements?"

Hearing the name, Chen rolled his eyes implicitly.

She didn't understand why Wei Yanwu had to make such a big fuss. It had been held before, and on a scale no smaller than this one, so why was it so special this time?

If he withdraws half of the personnel from the Guard Bureau, isn't he afraid that he will be targeted by those guys in the dark?

"It's also good to pay more attention to it. At least it can promote internal competition and, by the way, give a warning to those who have gradually forgotten themselves."

Sitting down in front of Chen, Xingxiong pushed the stack of documents in front of him and said, "You don't really think this is just a medical seminar, do you?"

Taking the document handed to him by Xingxiong, Chen took it out, looked at it for a few seconds, and then stuffed it into the drawer.

"I understand. I will bring people with me when the time comes."

After saying that, Chen stared out the window in a daze again.

Seeing his friend's strange expression, Xingxiong couldn't help but remind him: "Old Chen? Have you been feeling unwell lately?"

After waking Chen up again, Xingxiong continued, "You've been so distracted these past few days. Are you too tired? Or are you troubled by some problem?"

"What could be the problem? Don't overthink it."

Shaking his head, Chen denied Xingxiong's statement.

She knows her own body best. The current work intensity is far from reaching her limit. The reason she is tired is because of the things that are piling up in her heart.

In addition, Wei Yanwu would interfere from time to time, which made her very annoyed.

"That's the best. I'm really worried that one day you'll collapse from exhaustion..."

Seeing that Chen had returned to his original state, Xingxiong felt relieved and turned to stare at Chen. The strange look in his eyes made Chen feel uneasy.

"what are you doing?"

Chen couldn't stand being stared at anymore, so he just asked directly: "Is there something on my face or something wrong?"

"There's something wrong with you."

After saying this without any context, Xingxiong suddenly became a different person, leaning nonchalantly on Chen's desk: "I've noticed that you seem to be acting strangely lately."

"What phenomenon?"

Chen was confused and couldn't understand what his good friend was thinking.

Strange phenomenon?

How come she didn't notice?

Seeing Chen looking confused, Xingxiong became unsure.

Could it be that she guessed wrong?

Or is there something else hidden?

The complicated intertwining of things disturbed Xingxiong's thoughts. Fortunately, she had not forgotten her own race, so she simply mixed these problems together and condensed them into one sentence.

After carefully observing her surroundings and making sure there was no possibility of ears on the other side of the wall, Xingxiong waved at Chen. When Chen came to her side, Xingxiong whispered in Chen's ear.

"Hey, Lao Chen, tell me, are you and that girl having an affair?"

Like a bolt from the blue, the straightforward and bold words shocked Chen completely.

Deng Deng Deng!

Chen stepped back in a hurry, looking at Xingxiong in disbelief.

She was wondering if the Xingxiong in front of her was an outsider pretending to be her. Otherwise, why would she, who had always been honest, suddenly say such a thing?

"What's that expression on your face? Did I really guess it right?"

However, Chen's stunned silence seemed to be in line with Xingxiong's previous guess, which made Xingxiong look suspicious.

"You...wait! Why would you have such an idea?!"

After the shock, there was deep confusion.

Chen didn't understand why Xingxiong would think that.

She hadn't had any strange interactions with Talina, had she? Even when she'd come to see her, Xingxiong had been there, and it was Xingxiong who had even helped to meet her.

Besides, Talina just moved in yesterday, and only the three of them knew about this. Even if there were a lot of people following her, it wouldn't spread so quickly, right?

"Huh? Isn't it?"

Seeing Chen's intense reaction, Xingxiong immediately became suspicious.

"Of course not! Why would you say that?!"

"Then why did she bring you food? Also, why didn't I see any breakfast bags in your trash can today? Don't tell me you've changed your taste?"

Pointing to the trash can at his feet, Xingxiong looked at the paper balls inside.

In the past few years, Chen has always brought food from outside to eat. Sometimes when she is busy, she will even ask herself to bring it to her, so Xingxiong knows Chen very well.

She noticed it as soon as she entered the door, but she just didn't say anything.

"I ate at home... Wait? Food delivery? What food? Whose food?

Halfway through answering, Chen suddenly realized something was wrong and turned back to look at Xingxiong: "What are you talking about?"

"It's just lunch. They sent it to your workplace, and even asked me to tell you to eat on time."

He restrained his movements and leaned back in his chair: "Don't tell me you don't know."

"I..."

Looking at Xingxiong with a confused look on her face, Chen really wanted to say that she really didn't know, but after seeing the doubtful expression on Xingxiong's face, she guessed that no matter how she explained, it would be useless.

"Never mind, what else did she say?"

Since it couldn't be explained clearly, Chen simply gave up explaining it. She only believed in one truth.

Those who are clean will clean themselves up! ! !

As long as she doesn't do it, those messages can't defeat her!

"I want you to pay attention and take a rest. Dig. Study. Hey. No, it's not nonsense. You said @how many days have you known each other? 4 Now he's still concerned about me (bringing me food) again. Are you really in love?"

After telling Chen what Talina asked him to tell her, Xingxiong looked at Chen with a gossipy look on his face.

She really wanted to know the relationship between the two.

Shaking his head, Chen told Xingxiong about breakfast to divert his attention.

"No, it's just that she's living with me temporarily."

Unexpectedly, Xingxiong didn't buy it at all and pushed Chen into a desperate situation.

"Cohabitation?"

"tenant!!!"

Chen objected loudly and slammed the table hard.

"Really?"

"real!!!"

"That's fine..."

Seeing this, Xingxiong stopped talking.

She could see Chen's embarrassment, and she was worried that if she continued teasing him like that, Chen would not be able to hold back and kick her out.

Although it’s almost the same now.

"If you have nothing to do, please get out now. I have something else to do."

With a wave of his hand, Chen ordered everyone to leave.

"Row."

Xingxiong stood up from his seat obediently, turned around and left. From an angle that Chen couldn't see, the corners of Xingxiong's mouth curled up wildly.

It was the first time she saw Chen Lu with this expression, which was much funnier than when he was angry.

"By the way, I left the lunch box for you in the restaurant. Just go get it from the waitress when the time comes."

Before going out, Xingxiong couldn't help but give a reminder.

"understood."

After responding, Chen stood in front of the window, watching the people coming and going downstairs, busy like ants.

Only when he heard the door closing did Chen return to his seat.

Looking at the table full of documents, Chen wanted to start working, but she didn't know where to start. Her heart was in a mess.

The words Xingxiong said kept echoing in her mind, constantly distracting her attention that she had finally managed to gather.

"I'm so annoyed... Every day is filled with troubles..."

Chen pushed the documents on the table aside in annoyance and suddenly remembered what happened when he went out in the morning.

Talina's concern reminded her of things hidden deep in her memory.

When she was a child, there seemed to be someone who urged her to get up, prepared breakfast for her, combed her hair, and then told her to be careful on the way to school.

The figures of the two people gradually overlapped in Chen's mind until there was no difference.

But Chen knew that this was just his fantasy. The person who cared about him had left long ago, and Talina just happened to do the same thing as the previous person.

Ah!

That must be it!

Volume 5: Chapter 25: Entering the City

“It’s so hot~”

Hiding under the shed of a street shop, Talina looked at the dazzling sunlight outside and suddenly felt powerless.

The shirt she was wearing was soaked with sweat and stuck tightly to her skin, feeling sticky and causing Tarina to twist her body uncomfortably.

"I shouldn't have worn so much..."

Pulling her collar, Talina fanned herself with her palms to cool herself down.

As for the effect~

It's not satisfactory, but it's better than nothing.

Looking at the gate of the Guard Bureau in the distance, Talina suppressed her desire and suppressed the idea of ​​going in to rest.

She had just come out from inside, and if she went back in, she would inevitably attract attention. Besides, that was the Guard Bureau, not a place for her to cool off.

Her face wasn't big enough to rub against.

But Talina was quite unwilling to go back like this.

She was the only one at home. Chen was at work and Muirseth was busy dealing with her colleagues. If she went back now, her only option was to lie in bed and sleep.

This obviously contradicts her purpose of coming to Longmen.

"Forget it... Let's just go back along the same route we took yesterday... and see if anyone has any clues..."

After squeezing the extra missing person notice in her bag, Talina made up her mind and walked out from the shelter.

She planned to go and see the results of her and Muirseth's efforts yesterday.

She took a cautious step, and the warm sunlight outside suddenly shone on Talina.

"Ugh!"

With a strange cry, Talina quickly put the sun hat on her head and ran along the route she remembered.

.........

"Dr. Kelsey, is this really okay?"
