Chapter 84 Preliminary strategy for Taotu [Part 2]
"This is a little punishment for taking pleasure in me."
Looking at Nuo Xia who turned into a bitter melon face, Taotu took the apple from his hand with a smile, like a little girl who got angry after winning a bet, she raised her neck proudly and started to bite into it.
As soon as I took a bite, I realized something was wrong...
Um?
Why are there teeth marks on it?
"You seem to have picked up the wrong one..." Nuo Xia said cautiously from the side, "That's the one I've eaten."
"..."
Peach Rabbit was stunned.
Then.
She turned her head, as if she hadn't heard anything, and continued to nibble on the apple as if nothing had happened.
"Eh?"
Now it was Nuo Xia's turn to be dumbfounded.
"Uh, um..., you didn't hear clearly..."
"Shut up."
"But don't you need to change it back? Don't you dislike my saliva..."
"I told you to shut up."
"oh."
Nuo Xia immediately calmed down.
There is no other way. Who is to let the official level crush people to death? Subordinates are not allowed to talk back to their superiors, not to mention that Taotu is seventeen, eighty or nine levels higher than him.
But, I really don’t dislike it...
Nuo Xia looked at the half of the apple again, and Peach Rabbit happened to take another bite. He raised his head and looked over. The two looked at each other in mid-air. He blinked, suddenly understood something, and couldn't help laughing.
Taotu pursed her lips and smiled.
Yes, how could there be dislike between the two of them?
He once used Peach Rabbit's body to live, sleep, wash, eat and drink, and the latter did the same.
The time when we exchanged bodies was undoubtedly a strange experience, like a little secret hidden deep in the closet, hazy, and making my heart throb again when I think about it.
Only the two of them, who have played this hide-and-seek game together and hid in the same closet, know what it's like.
Well, to put it bluntly.
I've even used your mouth for so many days, so why would I care about that little bit of saliva...
A sudden wind blew outside the window, causing the beige curtains to rustle.
The atmosphere in the ward became somewhat ambiguous inexplicably.
Nuo Xia didn't speak anymore. He quietly watched Peach Rabbit finish the apple one bite at a time, then reached out his hand to take the remaining core and threw it into the wastebasket next to the bedside table.
It was at this moment that he suddenly noticed a pair of brand new glasses stored in the half-open drawer.
Black frame, round frog mirror.
"This is?"
He took it out, turned it over in his hand, and looked at Taotu with some confusion.
"I was hurt very badly before."
Taotu smiled and pointed to the left side of his temple, where there were traces of a bandage, "I was hit here with a stick, and the nerves in my eyeballs were damaged. When I first woke up, my vision was severely reduced, so I entrusted the doctor to help me.
Went to get a pair of glasses."
"But fortunately, after these days of treatment and recuperation, my eyes have returned to normal, so this pair of glasses should no longer be used."
"Fortunately, I didn't use them." Nuo Xia threw the glasses back into the drawer in disgust, "They are round, black, and ugly. When you put them on, your whole body will become ugly."
"Ah, have you finally begun to dislike me for being ugly, young man?"
"Brigadier General, saying this kind of distorted logic and irrationality is a symptom only for middle-aged women. Don't learn from it, okay?"
Nuo Xia curled her lips indifferently and began to nibble on her apple, "I'm obviously saying that these glasses, such an ugly thing can be produced, is purely due to the designer's aesthetic problem. I'm afraid the only ones that like to wear them are ugly and frustrating.
Dirty old man..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that Taotu pursed her lower lip and turned her face away, as if she was trying to suppress a smile.
Only then did Nuo Xia realize that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He turned around and looked behind him, and found that two figures had appeared at the door.
A goat was chewing something slowly, and... Sengoku, who had one hand in his trouser pocket and a document in the other, with a face as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"No..."
The people of Nuoxia were all stupid.
hateful.
Why do you catch up with me every time I talk nonsense and come here to check in? Did you do this deliberately with all your knowledge and knowledge, old man from the Warring States Period!
"I'm sorry, General!"
He stood up immediately, bowed his head to Warring States and apologized skillfully, "I have always been outspoken, and I don't deal with people. What I said just now is really not describing you..."
"Shut up, kid, when you say that, I want to slap you even more."
Warring States glared at him with a dark face, then went straight to the bedside and put the document in his hand on the bedside table, "Here, here is the information you asked for, I will put it here."
"Thank you, Xiao Warring States." Taotu said with a smile, "Why did you send it in person?"
"That guy He has something to do and can't leave at the moment. Doesn't this just make me a young man?" Warring States sighed, "Besides, you were injured so badly this time, so I should come and visit you twice more. How about it, now
Is the injury almost healed?"
"Well, if everything goes well, I can be discharged from the hospital tonight."
"That's good."
Warring States breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Taotu on the hospital bed, and then at Nuo Xia, who was standing aside and watching his nose and heart, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
But he didn't ask anything, and after a few brief greetings, Warring States stood up and said goodbye.
Before leaving, I saw the pile of apples on the bedside table and took one without washing or peeling it. I just bit it and held it in my mouth, then led the goat out of the door.
Seeing him leave, Nuo Xia sat back on the chair again.
"allow……"
With a depressed look on his face, he was about to speak when Taotu stretched out his index finger and gestured "Shh" at him, then turned his head and shouted toward the door:
"Hey, Sengoku-chan, eavesdropping on gossip doesn't seem like something a general would do!"
Damn it, have you been discovered?
"Nonsense, I've already left!"
An old man listening to the wall came from outside the door and shouted angrily.
Then there was a "stomp, stomp and stare", which was the sound of angrily stepping on the ground and underground stairs. Obviously this time, he had really gone far.
"Old naughty boy."
Taotu smiled and looked away. When he turned his head, he saw that Nuo Xia had already picked up the document, lowered his head and started browsing attentively.
"Hey, boy."
She stretched out her slender jade-white fingers, flicked Nuo Xia's eyebrows, and said angrily:
"You read it without my permission. What if it's a confidential document that can only be accessed by high-level officials? You can be sent to Impel Down like this, you know?"
"That doesn't matter, my friend will let me out in a few years..."
Nuo Xia still stared at the document and quickly browsed it, without even raising his head, "Besides, who are you trying to scare? It's written on this cover. It's a detailed report on the defeat of the G7 branch. How can it be considered confidential...
…”
His fingertips moved back and forth on the paper. After roughly reading one page, he immediately turned back the page, as if he was searching for something.
"Well, I found it."
When he reached the fifth page, his turning movements finally slowed down, his eyes stayed on a certain paragraph in the middle of the page, and he softly read:
"Our Commodore Gion, in the battle with Smoothie, the top leader of the Big Mom Pirates, suppressed the opponent with swordsmanship and had an absolute upper hand."
"But due to a sneak attack from behind by Drought Galileo of the Beast Pirates, he hit a stick near the eye socket, which caused the situation of the battle to reverse. In the end, Smoothie, together with his third sister Armand, severely injured him, fell into a coma, and was almost captured.
…”
"Drought Galileo, Smoothie, Armand."
He put down the document, looked at Taotu, who was looking at him quietly, and said with a smile: "I remember these three names, Brigadier General."
