You have to pay for what you did.
Jiang Chen couldn't agree more.
He had imagined countless possibilities of the girls crossing dimensions to meet and get to know each other, but he had never thought that when this day really came, the atmosphere would be so solemn.
That's right, solemn.
The already not spacious living room became a lot more crowded with the arrival of Xia Shiyu, Natasha, and Ayesha. Ayesha and Natasha, of course, were brought by Xia Shiyu. Jiang Chen's original plan was to meet them one by one and start with the most difficult ones, but he didn't expect Xia Shiyu to bring these two together.
The living room was so silent that even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard.
In the end, it was Xia Shiyu, who had the most serious expression, who couldn't keep a straight face first. She burst out laughing.
The tense atmosphere melted.
Although the calmest one was Xiaorou, Jiang Chen could still clearly feel from her expression that she was relieved … Of course, Lilith was excluded. From the beginning to the end, she was as expressionless as ever and observed in the dark as always.
"Are you Sun Jiao?" Xia Shiyu looked at Sun Jiao with her bright eyes, walked forward, and took her hand. "Can you take me to the world on your side?"
Xia Shiyu saw Sun Jiao's appearance in the interdimensional communication.
"Of course." Sun Jiao was a little overwhelmed by Xia Shiyu's action. She was slightly embarrassed and subconsciously said, "But there is nothing to see there."
Xia Shiyu shook her head and smiled. "I want to see the world he once struggled in."
…
Obviously, they discussed it on the way here. Xia Shiyu's proposal was approved by both Ayesha and Natasha. Sun Jiao certainly didn't have any objections. The portal was in the warehouse on Coconut Island. The group passed through the portal and came to the apocalypse.
After passing through the portal, Xia Shiyu and Natasha both expressed a considerable degree of shock. Ayesha was a little better, but she also showed a considerable degree of shock.
Other than Xia Shiyu who had a few words with Sun Jiao in a video call, Ayesha and Lin Lin were probably the most familiar among them. Every time Jiang Chen returned to the modern world, Ayesha was responsible for conveying the situation here to him.
Lin Lin took Ayesha's hand and took the group to visit her lab.
He didn't know if it was an illusion.
When he noticed that it was a group of girls in the lab, he felt that Xia Shiyu and Natasha were looking at his back strangely. Even Ayesha had a troubled expression.
Couldn't they tell that this was a clone?
Jiang Chen really wanted to criticize this point.
Fortunately, Lin Lin explained for him …
After visiting the Lin Institute, the group passed through the backyard and entered the elegantly decorated mansion – the "legacy" left by Sun Jiao's father. It was also the place where they lived in this world.
Walking on the red carpet of the villa, Natasha looked curiously about her, touching and looking about her.
"This is … the place where you disappear to every time?"
"Yes." Jiang Chen glanced at Natasha. "Aren't you surprised?"
"We've lived together for so long, we've already guessed what we should have, okay? It's just that I didn't expect it to be something as mysterious as another world. I thought it was some kind of alien ruin, similar to Area 51. " Natasha rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen. She seemed to have thought of something and added, "Right, if you don't trust me, you can use the truth-telling serum … Anyway, I didn't take the genetic vaccine. That stuff is still effective on me."
Natasha was still self-aware of her previous profession, so she generously mentioned it. If Jiang Chen wanted to use the truth-telling serum on her and ask if she leaked secrets to someone, she wouldn't feel any discomfort.
It was normal for him to doubt himself.
"I won't use that stuff on my own woman." Jiang Chen smiled.
The unexpected answer made Natasha stare at Jiang Chen blankly.
After a while, she recovered from her daze and suddenly pursed her lips into a smile.
"Can I assume that you're trying to increase my favorability?"
"No, it's just because that stuff will make the brain slower." Jiang Chen shook his head and said softly, "And I think you should already know your mother's … Mhmm, the real cause of death. It doesn't make sense that you will continue to serve the KGB. "
"You … have you also investigated?"
Her eyes were slightly shaken.
Natasha used the word "also".
"There's no need to investigate at all." Jiang Chen sighed softly and said, "It's your choice that told me."
She was never a timid person. Otherwise, she wouldn't have wandered the war-torn areas and provided intelligence for the Russian Federal Bureau of Investigation.
After returning from Kane, she chose to retire from the place where her mother once worked. If it was just because of marriage and the weariness of the war, it was far from being a reason. Her departure could only mean that her motherland did something that disappointed her.
And later, the Ghost Agents' investigation also proved this point.
Ms. Nikolaeva was actually a double agent. And Natasha's father, the "bearded general", must also know the identity and cause of his wife's death. He even personally ordered the cleanup.
Because it was the Alpha team who did it.
…
"I'm going to prepare lunch."
As soon as she returned home, Yao Yao whispered this sentence and quickly slipped into the kitchen.
The atmosphere in the living room was too strong, and the pressure made the little animal somewhat breathless. Looking at the little girl's back, Ayesha's mouth curved up. Cute things always made anyone feel good, and her cooking was also quite good. So after leaving a sentence of "I'll go help her", Ayesha also walked in the direction of the kitchen.
Because she was worried that Yao Yao would be bullied, Lin Lin also nervously followed. Of course, the digitalized human who knew nothing about cooking could only play the role of tasting food. Xiaorou's eyes shifted back and forth between her sister and Xia Shiyu for a while. She pursed her lips and smiled. She discreetly left the living room and left time for the two.
Lilith hung up the phone.
After the four of them left, Jiang Chen took Natasha on a tour around the mansion. The originally crowded living room suddenly became quiet.
Just as Sun Jiao hesitated to say something to break the silence, Xia Shiyu spoke.
"Thank you for taking care of him."
"Eh? Actually … "Sun Jiao was slightly embarrassed as she fiddled with her bangs." I should be the one thanking you. "
Contrary to her tough image in the past, although she had an advantage in combat that Jiang Chen couldn't surpass, for some reason, when she faced the woman from the other world, she always felt like her status was lower than hers. She always felt that if he had to choose between the two worlds (women), Jiang Chen would definitely choose Xia Shiyu's side.
In her subconscious, she thought the other world was better than her own. She looked up to everything in the other world as if she was looking at heaven. Fortunately, Ms. Xia Shiyu seemed to be easy to talk to. Her voice was also very gentle, and her manner of speaking was also very elegant. This made Sun Jiao's initial nervousness slightly dissipate.
"Not at all." Xia Shiyu smiled. "I often hear him talk about this world, such as how dangerous it is here, how difficult it is to survive from mutants and raiders … Do you know what he likes to talk about the most?"
"What is it?" Sun Jiao asked subconsciously.
"He told me that he used a can of Coke to bribe the woman who tied him up." Xia Shiyu's mouth curved up. "That was the most successful business in his life."
Sun Jiao laughed out loud, and she even accidentally teared up from laughing.
Following Sun Jiao's laughter, Xia Shiyu also smiled.
With a common topic, the relationship between the two women suddenly became a lot closer. The previous restraint was also diluted with laughter. Sun Jiao also returned to her original carefree personality and was much more talkative than before.
The content of the conversation between the two naturally revolved around "that guy", from the earliest adventure on the wasteland to the expedition to North America, and finally back to the origin of the conversation – the moment when the two first met.
"It sounds like what that guy said. Fortunately, he met me. If it was someone else —"
"So, thank you," Xia Shiyu said sincerely. Xia Shiyu said sincerely, "If you make another choice, my fate will also go to another ending."
This was not a joke.
On that night, if Jiang Chen didn't lend a helping hand, even if he just watched from the side, her fate would have been extremely miserable. Even today, her heart was still filled with gratitude. Her heart pounded for the figure who pulled her out of the abyss.
Although the immature her was so unreasonable, outside of work, she had always been a woman who was more emotional than rational.
"I already said, don't thank me …" Sun Jiao responded to the sincere gaze. She scratched her cheek in embarrassment and said, "If you weren't there to help him, he definitely wouldn't be able to achieve what he has today."
She read the sincerity in Sun Jiao's eyes.
After looking at her for a moment, Xia Shiyu suddenly smiled.
"I can see that you love him very much."
"Of course," Sun Jiao said seriously, "This is the only thing I don't lose to you."
"I don't want to make things difficult for him … because for him, you are also an important person in his life." Xia Shiyu cautiously used the word "also". After a pause, she bit her lower lip and continued softly, "We …"
Her pretty face gradually turned red.
Although she had made up her mind, she couldn't say the embarrassing thing.
Finally, Xia Shiyu gently stomped her feet and stood up from the sofa. Under Sun Jiao's surprised gaze, she sat down next to her, leaned close to her ear, and whispered the words that made everyone blush …
