Ji Zhan was obviously not a person who was good at reading people's hearts, but perhaps because of his keen sense of danger, he was not deceived by the pretended gentleness on his face when he first saw Jing Sa.
But even so, Ji Zhan couldn't help but look at the young man standing in the sun and surrounded by people.
Even though Jing Sa didn't look like a good person, Ji Zhan couldn't take his eyes away from him.
The graduation ceremony of that year was very grand perhaps because Jing Sa was there.
At the end of the graduation ceremony, drones flying in the sky were controlled to drop flower petals.
The large classroom where Ji Zhan was located had an entire wall covered with floor-to-ceiling windows, so the scenery that Ji Zhan saw when the petals fell was something she could not describe in words.
Perhaps it was that rain of flowers that made her truly realize that she had separated from the institute.
She no longer needs to be accompanied by cold instruments every day.
She can now enjoy the sunshine, the free wind, and the rain of flowers.
Ji Zhan opened the window, leaned his upper body slightly, and stretched out his two hands to try to grab a few petals.
The soft petals floated across her palms, and even the faint floral fragrance made people's noses itch.
Out of the corner of his eye, Ji Zhan accidentally collided with the line of sight below.
It was Jing Sa who was looking up in her direction.
As the petals fell, their eyes seemed to collide.
Is Jing Sa looking at her? Ji Zhan thought uncertainly.
But soon, the teacher from the theory class came back. Ji Zhan held a petal in his hand, then pulled back his leaning body, and naturally stopped paying attention to the movement downstairs.
After Jing Sa graduated, Ji Zhan never saw Jing Sa in the college again, but he could often hear news about Jing Sa from other students in the class.
About three months later, Jing Sa met Ji Zhan at the shooting range.
"Hello, my name is Jing Sa, and I would like to invite you to join my team."
"Me? But I haven't graduated yet."
…
"I thought you were looking at me then."
In the narrow corridor, Ji Zhan kicked Jing Sa's stool with her toes, her slightly closed eyes showing her displeasure.
In the end, it turned out that she was the only one who remembered it for so long.
When Ji Zhan fell into despair, Jing Sa pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "I'm looking at you."
"Um?"
Jing Sa laughed. He pinched Ji Zhan's cheek and said, "It's just that you were blocked by the petals at that time, so I couldn't see clearly. When I looked again, you were gone."
It was just an insignificant glance at first, but Jing Sa remembered it very clearly.
The light was against the light and there were always falling petals blocking it, so Jing Sa couldn't see Ji Zhan's face clearly, but he could see those beautiful eyes in the gap between the falling petals.
Ji Zhan's eyes at that time were full of childishness and ignorance. She was like a newborn baby who had just begun to be curious and explore the world.
Like a sprouting new branch, a little tentative bud emerges, clear and clean.
Jing Sa looked at Ji Zhan who seemed surprised by his response, then smiled and repeated, "I've always been looking at you."
Perhaps Ji Zhan didn't know that when Jing Sa later selected substitutes, there were actually more suitable candidates than Ji Zhan. Although Ji Zhan's strength value was the highest in the academy at that time, her coordination was very poor.
Her abilities in many aspects have not reached the qualifying level, and she has only been in school for half a year and has not graduated yet.
But among hundreds of people's information, Jing Sa fell in love with Ji Zhan at a glance.
And only Ji Zhan.
Even if Ji Zhan hasn't graduated yet, and even if he has to spend a lot of energy to watch her grow up, he doesn't want anyone else.
He always had Ji Zhan in his eyes.
Because of Jing Sa's words, Ji Zhan couldn't help but smile, and his eyes, which had always looked dull and monotonous, also lit up.
Just as the two were chatting happily, the door of the operating room behind them was opened.
Lin Xu hadn't changed out of his surgical clothes yet, but had only taken off his mask. The clothes were still stained with blood, and Wu Yan inside didn't know if she was still alive.
Lin Xu said to Ji Zhan and Jing Sa: "She has no way to move. During the physical examination, she and I will hide here together. You guys go up and help me keep an eye on me and protect me. Don't let anyone do it."
This was not difficult for Ji Zhan and Jing Sa, so they agreed.
Ji Zhanduo glanced at the closed operating room behind him and asked, "Is it possible for her to become a normal person again?"
Lin Xudao: "I have tried to slow down her mutation as much as possible, but the chance of her turning back to a normal person is probably not even 1%."
Lin Xu's words had already sentenced Wu Yan to death, but Lin Xu still did not give up on her.
No matter whether you say Lin Xu is paranoid, Lin Xu still chooses to hold on tightly to the less than one percent chance.
…
The time for the physical examination came soon, and the sky cleared up, but the people at the Fifth Security Base were destined not to enjoy such warm sunshine that day.
Long queues began to form at the shelters in each district. There were crowds of people on the not-so-wide roads. Armed teams from the district management team held weapons to maintain the normal conduct of physical examinations.
Located on the roof of the church in the central area, Qi Huan stood at a high place and took in everything in the outer base at this moment.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Qi Huan knew that Yu Wu was coming even if he didn't turn around.
"The vice-captain said the physical examination is expected to be completed in five hours." Yu Wu stood next to Qi Huan and said.
Qi Huan responded in a muffled voice, looked at the team moving forward smoothly in the distance, and said: "But this team is going a little abnormally smoothly. Has anyone found any abnormalities so far?"
"It seems not yet." Yu Wu seemed to be a little lazy due to the warm wind. He folded his arms on the railing, bent down and put his chin on his hands, his eyes were red from staying up late yesterday.
A few tears were secreted unconsciously.
Qi Huan was no longer surprised by Yu Wu's appearance, and said, "The vice-captain told you to train as hard as you can. How come you're like this again?"
Ever since the whereabouts of Ji Zhan and Jing Sa became unknown, Yu Wu's free time every day has been occupied by training, which is very different from the way he used to try his best to avoid training.
Although Yu Wu didn't say anything, both Qi Huan and Zhao Ziwei knew that Yu Wu was blaming himself.
Because she was with Ji Zhan at that time, but she failed to help Ji Zhan and failed to protect her, all because she was too weak.
So after returning to the base and recovering from his injuries, Yu Wu trained hard, and no matter how much hardship he endured, he never complained about laziness.
"I'm fine." Yu Wu closed his eyes, but couldn't help but yawn.
Qi Huan sighed and said, "You should go back and rest first. I can just keep an eye on this place. And so far, I haven't found any abnormality. Obviously those people are hiding."
Yu Wu asked: "What should I do after I hide it?"
Qi Huan was silent for a moment, and then said: "The higher-ups issued an order. After the physical examination is over, all those who stay above are enemies."
