In the sudden and unexpected chaos, time flew by quickly, and it was morning again in the blink of an eye.
Monday mornings are always extremely busy, and many people have to find their rhythm again.
Ruiwen sat at the dining table for almost five minutes. Mo Peng, who had a pair of panda eyes, yawned and sat next to her under the "kind care" of Ms. Luo Shuqing. There was obvious swelling on his already round face.
. And when he looked at the neatly arranged dinner plates and the even more neat and soulless dishes, he suddenly lost all his energy, collapsed on the table, and groaned:
"Why 'Lao Mo', where is my biological father? I am in urgent need of supplements that are high in sugar, fat and protein..."
Ms. Luo Shuqing smiled and replied: "Your father only sleeps three hours more than you do. He goes out at four in the morning. Now he has gone to work to earn money to support the family. Unlike someone who wastes time, money and life..."
Mo Peng tried to cover his ears with the tabletop, but he could only cover one side.
"Caught all night?"
Due to industry constraints, Moya must often eat diet meals, but she still has a certain tolerance for the "Lao Mo Eco-Friendly Cuisine" of home artificial intelligence, especially when there is someone who can gloat about her misfortune.
"I'm the victim!"
Mo Peng hit half of his face on the table, but he was weak: "I really didn't want to stay up all night, but Nanzi caught me and cleared the expansion pack in one night. He will repay a favor with an vengeance! This kind of game should be played slowly, and once
I am familiar with the characters and data a little bit, but there is no experience at all if I forcefully pass the level..."
Moya raised her eyebrows: "What an unexpectedly good reason to indulge!"
"If I indulge, I'll just fall asleep on his bed, okay? Instead of being forced by him to complete the level, and not even getting a thank you in the end..."
"Oh, you look so pitiful. It seems I ripped you off too early."
As Mo Peng's biological mother, Ms. Luo Shuqing knew her son after all. She did not really regard her biological son as a hopeless degenerate, but just wondered:
"Nannan doesn't have a gaming addiction?
"He's not playing a game!"
Mo Peng has no appetite, only the desire to express: "Who plays games, opens a workspace, takes notes, checks data, and makes conference calls? Even writing a paper is not that serious! Ten days in the wilderness... I will touch it again within ten days.
Just chop it off!"
"Okay, I'll buy a pig's trotters in advance and prepare them for you."
Moya saw through Mo Peng's words at a glance, and then turned her eyes to the other side: "Ten Days in the Wilderness... Ruiwen, do you know? What's going on?"
Raven considered it seriously, but it was really difficult to describe the situation clearly in concise language.
At this time, hurried footsteps sounded, and Ronan went downstairs without stopping at the dining table. He hurried over and said:
"I'll go out."
Luo Shuqing raised her voice: "Don't want to eat?"
"There is a meeting over there. Let's all come together. We won't be hungry." The voice fell and the person disappeared.
At the dining table, except for Rui Wen, all three people sighed, although the underlying differences were subtly different.
Moya continued to ask Ruiwen: "Is there a problem with the newly released expansion pack?"
Raven recalled the information she received last night and nodded silently. As for what the problem was, she still couldn't say for a while.
Moya kicked her brother with her long legs: "Hey, you've been playing all night, and apart from the dark circles under your eyes, you don't have any useful information?"
"The information is there, but I don't dare to ask if it's correct or not."
Mo Peng snorted twice, but still struggled to get up despite the sight of his mother and sister, trying to remember: "First of all, it must be the game settings. The new expansion pack opens up a whole series of heroes, and the corresponding evolutionary trees, which are about controllable
The deformed new human being. There is something wrong with this smell if you touch it carefully..."
Breakfast turned into a seminar temporarily, which undoubtedly greatly affected the proper time arrangement. However, in such an environment, it is naturally impossible to draw effective judgments and opinions, let alone feasible plans. In the end, everyone can only go to work and go to school separately.
Today it was Moya's turn to take Ruiwen to school. Monday's traffic was destined to be particularly congested. Even if she was sitting in Moya's red supercar, she couldn't even imagine a speedy experience.
From Raven's point of view, this is undoubtedly a super inefficient behavior, but it is also an effort to delay the retention of vivid colors, or even the color itself, so she has no clear idea of rejecting it.
But choosing this method will inevitably allocate the time spent studying the mist maze and confusing sea of flowers to the urban traffic layer and high-rise buildings, which is also confusing but quickly turns gray and chaotic in the real world.
Raven knew that what she saw was only based on the current conditions and known information, and the process of rolling forward until death. Theoretically, every second would change, and it might bring completely different results.
But the reality is that after watching it thousands of times, the trend will never change.
As for the details, those fleeting details are indeed colorful, but if you really want to study them seriously, you will inevitably have a kind of "meaningless" doubt or consciousness.
Well, Raven wasn't too clear about "meaning", but after living with Ronan for a long time, she realized that he was troubled all the time, as if he was being whipped forward by an invisible whip, and she couldn't help but feel that...
It is definitely wrong to waste time.
The problem is, Ronan himself is also following the same trend.
From Raven's point of view, Ronan also devoted his limited energy to details that kept appearing, bifurcating, rapidly declining, and even becoming chaotic.
Maybe that wasn't his original intention, but in this complex and confusing real world, there will always be factors that affect him, such as the sudden game expansion incident.
In fact, Raven didn't quite understand why Ronan cared so much about this incident. She couldn't judge whether Ronan's approach was correct - because she couldn't rule out the situation that the "tributary" would eventually become the "mainstream", although in the end
Still have to return to deathly silence.
Raven was confused, but in most cases, the only target she could and was willing to refer to was Ronan.
She hoped to understand and imitate this pattern. Perhaps, this would help her to be more separated from the long, gray and silent river, so as not to prematurely merge together and fall into endless chaos.
Raven instinctively doesn't want that, although she can't find a particularly clear distinction now - she can't tell whether she is detached from the outside world, or whether she is part of this dead river.
When those gorgeous colors fade away, is she observing the fate of all things, or is it the process of the occasional surging waves of the long river intertwining and separating from the real world?
Raven looked out the window, but saw her own shadow on the car window glass. In the environment of internal and external light, and also in the blurred mirror carrier, the image above seemed to be squirming and changing, as if it would peel off at any time.
The shell, from which something completely different springs out.
When her fingers touched the car window, they also touched the shadow. The touch was slightly cold, just like the "water vapor" of a long dead river, nibbling at her fingertips.
But, is she above the water or below the water?
Moya is the person who is most familiar with Ruiwen in the family besides Ronan. It is precisely because of their familiarity that she will not deliberately disturb her in the silent atmosphere.
The car remained quiet most of the time. Moya also dealt with some of his own affairs during the autonomous driving period. He didn't speak until he was almost at school:
"Seeing as Ronan is busy these days, don't cause trouble for him in other aspects."
Raven looked away from her own mirror and turned to look at her.
"I'm talking about those messy things on the Internet, just stop them. I'll tell the company and BHD that if you encounter those paparazzi or talkative women at school, hide away if you can, and try to cool things down in the next two days.
"
Rui Wen thought about it seriously: "I'll just skip class."
"...Then am I an accomplice or the principal criminal?"
Ruiwen still lacked this kind of sensitivity and had no reaction to Moya's teasing. She lowered her eyes and said nothing, and in her heart she began to plan the exploration goals for the whole day.
Moya rolled her eyes and said nothing. Five minutes later, the car arrived at school smoothly.
After Ruiwen and Moya said goodbye, they did not go to the main campus, but went directly to the self-propelled conveyor belt and headed towards the jungle on the north bank.
In fact, Ruiwen wanted to move directly to the underground laboratory of "Gear". However, during this period, she became really famous. When she walked on campus, people stared at her almost every second. To be in this kind of place
In this environment, it is very difficult to find a suitable visual and psychological blind spot.
She could only spend a little more time, like a normal student, from the self-propelled conveyor belt to the school tram to the outskirts of the North Shore jungle.
However, at this time, the direction of normal students' activities would definitely be opposite to hers.
Raven ignored the strange looks along the way and prepared to go deep into the jungle. At that time, she could just jump to the laboratory.
At this moment, a horn sounded from behind: "Hi, Luo Xiang...Senior Sister Ruiwen!"
The man next to him first said Rui Wen's registered name at school, but felt it was too unfamiliar, so he followed Ronan's usual name and used a more affectionate title - what he thought was her name.
The problem is, Ruiwen didn't look back at all, as if she didn't hear his greeting at all, and walked straight onto the Jiuqu Bridge that spanned the long river through the forest and connected the south bank to the north bank.
The man behind jumped off the sightseeing car, hurriedly took two steps, and kept saying: "Do you recognize me? I am Ou Que, we have met before."
Raven doesn't remember.
She continued to walk forward, and the guy named Ou Que followed up and kept talking in her ear: "Riwen, aren't you going to go to class at this time? Ah, although your behavior is not very good, but because of
It's quite interesting for you to do it... The most valuable thing about occultism is that it's fun, and besides, you're mysterious enough."
Raven followed Moya's teachings and remained silent in front of the tongue-tied woman.
But Ou Que had no intention of holding back at all: "Are you going to Gear? Have you had breakfast? The calla lily cake here is surprisingly authentic, I treat you...ah yo!"
Ou Que screamed subconsciously, because just after crossing the Jiuqu Bridge and stepping onto the north bank ground paved with gravel and grass, there was a brown shadow, passing through the grass and trees that were still slightly damp in the morning, thorns diagonally.
Break out and run straight towards this side.
Ou Que almost didn't kick him out, but fortunately he finally saw which one it was, and staggered to stop it, but the fat and round guy took his position, and he could no longer keep up with Ruiwen.
This guy who jumped out obviously took a good seat, but he didn't dare to rub against Ruiwen. He just circled around her feet excitedly, slapping the mud, stone and grass stalks with his long tail, making a popping sound.
There is no doubt that this is Jerry.
Ou Que often sees it in the club and knows that it is Xie Junping's godson and one of the group favorites in Ronan's circle of friends. He usually slips in and out of the arms of Ronan's very beautiful friends of the opposite sex.
Including Raven.
What Ou Que doesn't know is that this little thing, which looks like a common muskrat in jungle swamp areas, actually has a mysterious and complicated experience. As far as is known, it has been precisely transformed by Luo Zhongheng and has stored a large amount of key information.
, I usually do some cleaning work in the tree holes of the dead tree sandbank.
It can be said that it is precisely because of Jerry's existence that the letter Luo Zhongheng left for Ronan, the architectural structure of the tree hole space and other information are well preserved.
Since that incident, the status of this muskrat in Ronan's heart has changed. But as the first person to "introduce" Jerry to Ronan, Raven's attitude towards this little thing remains the same.
She did not stop, and Jerry also followed her obediently. His plump body achieved a perfect position in the relatively narrow jungle path, making it impossible for Ou Que to walk side by side with Raven.
Ou Que could only stay one position behind, raise his voice, and try his best to talk to Ruiwen:
"By the way, are you really preparing to debut if you don't waste your energy on your studies? Although Mingtang Culture is not very popular this time, I still believe in you - a girl with such courage as you can be good at any field.
Success, in the entertainment industry, will allow more people to see and appreciate your beauty, that bold and mysterious beauty!
"I will definitely be a fan of you then. Well, I am actually a fan now."
Ou Que did not hesitate to speak kindly and made his attitude clear, but Ruiwen still ignored him. Ou Que frowned a little, but quickly calmed down - it was this kind of Cool Girl that attracted him.
Isn’t it a Dharma vision?
In this way, the two of them came all the way to "Gear".
At this time, there were not many people in the "Gear". Some were weird people who did those inexplicable occult experiments, forgot about time, and simply stayed here; there were also some who thought the coffee and pastries here were delicious, so they came over to have breakfast and enjoy the community.
Welfare guys, at this time, bringing a female companion or something will be the most exciting.
But no matter which one they are, they are not the same as those hurried little guys on the South Bank - the freedom to control their time and enjoy life leisurely is a right that only seniors in the university department have.
Here in the foyer, Cao Shanhai, the well-known "Bagua King" in the club, is one of the people who pick up girls for breakfast in the morning. There is a beautiful school girl hanging in his arms. At this time, when you meet an acquaintance, you must
Show-off, Cao Shanhai was in the elevator hall on the first floor. He grabbed a few friends and discussed going to the leisure booth to drink coffee and chat.
At this time, he watched Ruiwen and Ouque walk in.
Here, Ruiwen is on the right "direction", but her age is becoming more and more out of place, not to mention that she is accompanied by the vice president of the club, which is even more eye-catching.
"I'll wipe it!"
When Cao Shanhai saw Ruiwen, his eyelids twitched several times, and he subconsciously averted his gaze. He also inevitably thought of Ruiwen's brother, Ronan, who had given him nightmares for months.
At the end of last year, he suffered a lot from Ronan because of his big mouth. Especially at the "Feast" event, he burst into tears and sat on the ground begging for mercy. By the way, he sold his old friend Huang Bingzhen, which can be said to be a huge loss.
All face was lost.
To say that he must have hatred in his heart, but to say revenge... go to hell!
At that time, the people who were helping Ronan and dragging him on the ground by his neck all had the rank of captain. Not to mention that afterwards, he and the elders in his family were all "specially cared for" by big shots... With this kind of background
The guy, revenge? Did he hit his head?
The momentum was taken away, but Cao Shanhai's mouth was always ahead of his mind, bypassing Ruiwen, and there was something else:
"Haha, Ouque's taste changes quite quickly."
Everyone in the circle of Shenyan Club knows that Vice President Ou Que is a standard senior manager. Whether it is President Tang Yi or Fei Jin, the beautiful agent who took a leave of absence due to illness, he is the one who is good.
And this young man, who still has a little bit left in his freshman career, has never denied this, and always uses his status and resources as vice president to create opportunities for himself and create public opinion.
Not to mention the effect, this persona has been established.
But now this scene...
A circle of people looked at Ou Que. They had already entered the elevator with Ruiwen, but they exited with their hands raised amidst the sound of the alarm. This elevator was installed later and went directly to Ronan's underground laboratory. Ou Que really
permission denied.
In comparison, the muskrat that wagged its head and tail was even more powerful than him.
The people standing here right now, together with Cao Shanhai, are all people from the same circle, with more or less financial privileges, but seeing this scene, it is inevitable to feel a little sour.
There are also those who have a good relationship with Ou Que, teasing him from a distance: "Deputy Ou, are you interested in this person, or are you interested in this person's sister, aunt or something? Let me say hello to everyone in advance!"
Ou Que turned around and was not angry either. His face was full of smiles and he shook his head: "You have ambitions but not years. Do you understand courage and courage?"
"Aha?"
"Have you not seen the video of Ruiwen? The one coming out of the elevator. That look is not a pretense, not a performance, it is completely natural and infinitely charming! In comparison, the others..."
When Ou Que said this, he saw that there were girls here too, so he laughed, bypassed the comparison, and rubbed his hands:
"Besides, my emotions are very pure, so I decided to start as a fan first. I would first establish a support group and a club... and watch Ruiwen grow up step by step!"
Seeing Ou Que's appearance, several familiar men were still laughing and joking. The school girl holding Cao Shanhai's arm had just figured out the situation and asked quietly:
"That one is the devil-eyed girl."
"Yeah, you don't know?"
The school girl curled her lips: "You're not a big star, do you have to be remembered by everyone?"
Cao Shanhai smelled the sour smell, and smiled and tapped his elbow lightly: "Yes, yes, I'm definitely not as big as you!"
The school girl slapped him on the shoulder angrily, recalling Ruiwen's slender and straight figure, she laughed out loud again, and said in Cao Shanhai's ear: "Fortunately, she is wearing a skirt, but it would be nice to change it up.
Are you sure you got the gender right? This is so popular now."
Cao Shanhai rolled his eyes and slapped the schoolgirl back to tell her to shut up.
He must not offend Ou Que because of a woman's jealousy. Most importantly, he must not offend Ruiwen and the person behind her!
The problem is that his attitude is not firm enough, and the school girl's thinking has also deviated a bit: "That's right! Look at this, Luna just changed the desktop, it's super handsome, but I heard it's a girl!"
Cao Shanhai has no time to look at the shared resources between the girls, but the projection area over there is open, and he has to take a polite glance...
Then it couldn't be pulled out.
At this time, the school girl also said "Eh" and discovered new information from the desktop picture: "This person..."
She raised her head and looked towards the elevator door. Of course she couldn't see anything but the metal door.
Cao Shanhai saw it clearly in the projection area:
The character who occupies two-thirds of the picture looks like a boxer by profession. His upper body is bare, showing his lean and smooth muscle lines. His forearms are raised and his fists are clenched, making a defensive posture in fighting skills.
This posture covered most of the man's face, but the exposed half was really pretty, young, and childish.
Of course, the most impressive thing is the cold and dark eyes that seem to be able to absorb light, giving this flat picture a vivid and vigorous sense of power. It seems that at the next moment, a punch will be struck quickly and violently.
Take down a strong enemy and kill him with one blow.
Just as Ou Que said "vigor"...
The corners of Cao Shanhai's mouth twitched and his eyes were half-squinted. He subconsciously bypassed the lines of his upper body, focused on the head and face area, and began to evaluate:
If, if the person in the picture had longer hair, a little plumper cheeks, and a Zhixing School uniform, then...
Holy shit!
At this moment, Ou Que turned his gaze and circled around the palm-sized projection area. The next second, his whole body was sucked in, and he cried out:
