After Deng Ximei finished her speech, the sweet dream bubble shattered. Gu Jun snapped out of it like he had just woken up from a nightmare.
"Hmm …" Deng Ximei's face was pale, and her lips were slightly cyanotic. Gu Jun quickly checked her pulse, and her heart rate was already racing …
"I killed them …" Her voice was cold. "I used a rope to tie them up …"
"No, you didn't." Gu Jun held her shoulders. Based on the various feelings in the sweet dream, he basically trusted this woman. "Deng Ximei, when you were seven, your parents brought you away from the thieves' den. After that, you grew up with them in the wild, and they taught you many things."
"Is that so …" Deng Ximei's gaze changed, and there was some struggle in her eyes. "Is that true?"
"Yes, it is." "They were the ones who taught you the information and the Spirit Barrier technique. They were there to protect you." Gu Jun sighed heavily.
"Perhaps." Deng Ximei's expression softened, and her pulse slowed down. "Perhaps."
Gu Jun sighed in relief. Her will was temporarily preserved, although her S value would definitely be very low.
He did not plan to report everything about her. He knew Phecda's style, and he knew the current situation. Even with Tong Ye's protection, it would still cause a lot of trouble. Fighting over the question of whether to trust Deng Ximei or not would only delay the matter.
He did not plan to completely let down his guard around Deng Ximei. His attitude was to maintain a certain level of vigilance, but he would not treat her as an enemy.
That was how it was for now, and he would see how the situation changed in the future.
"What do you like to eat?" Gu Jun had some ideas.
"Hmm?" Deng Ximei was startled.
"Food, I'll bring you for supper." Gu Jun said. Let's take a break first. He had many new questions, and the matter of the video was urgent. However, asking her again in this situation was equivalent to killing her. Let's have a meal first to let her and himself rest.
"…" Deng Ximei thought for a while before answering, "Stir-fried bamboo shoots, stir-fried asparagus, stir-fried shredded lettuce … is that okay?"
"Aren't you going to add some meat?"
"I don't really like meat, but I can have a steamed fish."
"I see. You like to eat light food." Gu Jun nodded and took out his cell phone to make a call. As soon as the call went through, he shouted, "I've got a job, I've got a job! I'll take Deng Ximei over for supper now. Make these dishes. "He read out all the dishes she had ordered, as well as a few dishes of meat for himself and a bowl of soup.
Deng Ximei listened on the side, looking a little confused.
"Now that you're considered a member of Phecda, you still have to enjoy some basic benefits." Gu Jun waved his hand. "Let's go to the recreation center, the gourmet restaurant!"
The person he had just called was none other than the owner of the gourmet restaurant, Wu Shiyu. Although it was already past ten o 'clock in the evening, the Recreation Department was on call during working hours, and the gourmet restaurant was never closed. Even if you sleepwalked in the middle of the night and wanted to eat a steamer of buns, you could.
When Gu Jun led the confused Deng Ximei to the dining hall of the recreation center, he could already smell the aroma of food from inside.
Inside the elegant dining hall, there were several tables filled with members from the headquarters enjoying supper.
"Welcome, welcome!" Two enthusiastic figures rushed out. They were Lee Yuerui and Wu Dong. "Welcome, Captain Gu! Welcome, our beautiful Miss Deng! "
"Aiyo!" They had no idea who Deng Ximei was, they were told that she was Gu Jun's friend and an important guest. Wu Dong's meaty face was full of smiles. "Please come in, please come in. We are honored by your presence! It's a wise choice to come here for supper on a date tonight. "
Lin Xiaotang, who watched from the counter, smirked coldly. 'Why don't you take a look at who's here to suck up to him? What an idiot …'
"Oh, Wu Dong, the kitchen is calling for you." Wu Shiyu's voice rang out. "Go and help them."
They were both from the Wu family but there was such a huge gap between them. Wu Dong had no choice but to leave after being pointed at by the dojo master. Only then did he realize that he had said something wrong.
Before Wu Dong left, Gu Jun did introduce him to Deng Ximei and the rest of the group.
Deng Ximei needed real therapy. As an experienced person, he knew that a good friend was a miracle drug. Therefore, he needed to help her expand her social circle, walk out of the dark wall and develop a reliance on the light.
Immediately, the two of them went to a private room inside and sat down. Soon, fresh dishes were served by Li Yuerui from the kitchen. Gu Jun had only eaten some bread during his time in the autopsy room but now that the table was filled with delicacies, he could not stop tasting them.
Deng Ximei picked up a piece of bamboo shoot with her chopsticks and then gouged out the eye of the steamed bass.
From the way she ate, he could tell that she had no concept of table etiquette or even common sense. However, it was not strange for her to be like this.
"Eat more if you like the fish eye." Seeing that Deng Ximei was enjoying it, Gu Jun immediately called Lee Yuerui over. "Get the kitchen to prepare a few more steamed fish heads."
Suddenly, he felt a cold breeze. Turning around, he saw Wu Shiyu standing behind him.
"Ximei." Wu Shiyu looked at Deng Ximei who was sitting opposite him and rubbed his hands together. "Can I touch you?"
"Huh?" Deng Ximei's chopsticks stopped digging out the fish eye …
"Shi Yu has the ability to smell people." Gu Jun shrugged. "She knows people from their smell."
"Yes, I want to confirm if you smell like your name."
"Sure …" Deng Ximei nodded.
"Then I won't hold back." Wu Shiyu took a step forward to touch Deng Ximei's hair, face, neck … As she did so, she raised her brows and mumbled, "It does, it's like morning dew, it smells like nature … It's cool and sweet, this water is good …"
"She's drinking spring water that smells like you." Gu Jun explained, "This girl can eat anything."
A smile appeared on Deng Ximei's face.
This was the first time Gu Jun saw her smile. It was like watching a rose bloom, it was beautiful. He said with a smile, "Deng Ximei, you should smile more. We should all smile more or we're going to lose to those bastards. "
"Hmm …" Deng Ximei nodded.
"Alright, you guys continue." Wu Shiyu clicked his tongue and was about to leave. "Call me if you need anything, I'm going over there to watch some television."
Wu Shiyu just took a few steps when Gu Jun called, "Dirty-minded Yu!" When she turned around and walked back, he said, "It's nothing. I just want you to walk a few more steps and exercise more. It's good for your body." He couldn't help but laugh. He really needed some laughter right now.
"Okay, I understand." Wu Siyu continued to walk to his side and gave him a few heavy punches on the shoulder. "Boxing requires more exercise."
But after that, she shook her fist and gritted her teeth. She regretted it. As she walked away, she said softly, "Sigh, it's like punching iron, it's so tiring."
Deng Ximei's smile widened. There was a trace of envy and determination in her eyes. "Gu Jun, my mental state is much better now. It's fine … I don't want to delay business. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I will tell you everything I know."
Gu Jun took a deep breath and nodded silently.
