"Speaking of synthetic meat, I've always had a question. You're now a member of the Husk Institute, so I can ask you about it. " Zou Yu looked at him and asked, "The Federation's synthetic meat fibers have been in use for many years now. Why haven't we seen any applications for them in other areas? For example, in the area of mecha linkage devices. "
Zou Yu, who was wearing a red halter top, sat quietly across from Xu Le and asked seriously. In her opinion, since this ordinary-looking but eccentric young man was able to enter the most advanced research institute in the Federation, he naturally had some areas worth learning from.
Xu Le's fingers froze in the middle of picking up food. Only then did he remember that the girl's father was the Deputy Minister of National Defense. Although not all families of generals could produce tiger girls, they rarely produced trash. At least this question seemed ridiculous, but in reality, it was a very important matter.
"I've never been able to get through the ethics committee, and the most important thing is that … protein cannot withstand high temperatures, and whether it's mecha or other mechanical equipment, being able to withstand high temperatures is a basic requirement." A few days ago, when he was helping Professor Shen organize some information, Xu Le had seen a few famous biochemical hybrid experiments in the 23rd Constitutional Calendar. In that grand experiment that lasted 40 years, countless failures proved that this idea could never become a reality.
He raised his head and looked at the girl in red, or perhaps it should be called the girl in red now. Who knew how many thoughts flashed through his mind at the same time.
Zou Yu was not wearing any makeup today. Her features were more delicate, and her shoulders were exposed beyond the two thin straps. Her entire person was languid, but there was only calmness, a calmness that seeped out from her bones. She picked up the food on her plate with her chopsticks. Her movements were silent and natural. Whether she raised her hand or not, she always appeared so elegant and quiet.
Xu Le looked at her, and his two knife-like eyebrows gradually rose. There was a strange look in his eyes. After these few days of interaction, he confirmed that this girl, who was not yet 20, was not as difficult to get along with as he had thought. It could even be said that she had a good upbringing …
Speaking of which, how could a daughter-in-law that could be chosen by Lady Tai be a bitch with heavy makeup? Xu Le just did not understand why the Zou Yu he saw in Linhai was a completely different person. She was a disgusting woman who was cold and arrogant to the extreme. He could not figure it out no matter how he thought about it. He could only sigh and admit that women were indeed the most elusive creatures in this world..
It had been more than ten days. In these ten days, Zou Yu had been staying in Xu Le's rented apartment, watching TV and surf the Internet to kill time. Perhaps it was because of her pregnancy, but she always looked so tired. Xu Le was also a quiet person. In addition, they were not very happy to see each other, so these days, the two of them did not talk much.
..
.
After being stared at by Xu Le for so long, of course Zou Yu knew, but she did not react at all. She just obediently finished the rice in her bowl, drank the high-energy protein powder that Xu Le had prepared for her beforehand, and ate a folic acid tablet. Then she smiled at Xu Le and said, "Do I look good?"
Zou Yu did not mind being stared at. She was born beautiful, and since she was young, she had always been the center of attention. However, in the past, the unscrupulous people who dared to stare at her around the 3rd Military Region either had their legs broken or were thrown into the cold winter river.
These past few years of life experience had turned this girl into a person who used coldness and indifference to hide her frustration. However, ever since that night, sitting in that black car and following this small-eyed boy in front of her back to this ordinary apartment, Zou Yu suddenly realized that such a peaceful home life was not all that bad.
It was just that this whole thing was really ridiculous. Zou Yu often wondered what kind of person Xu Le was. She had seen bored men who were willing to stab themselves a few times out of loyalty to their brothers, but a man who took over everything so calmly and was not afraid of any troubles or misunderstandings was really rare. Although Xu Le's eyes were small, they were often squinted, just like when he was staring at her blankly right now. Strangely, there was no coldness or harshness in those eyes, nor was there any discomforting emotion. There was only a faint smile, not sincere, but also amiable and trustworthy …
Anyone who spent some time with Xu Le would fall in love with this quiet young man, and it was not the romantic type. Zou Yu was no exception, so the words "do I look good" made people feel uneasy and had a deeper meaning.
"You look good." Xu Le nodded and said sincerely.
The eldest daughter of the Zou family, who was not wearing any makeup, was more than enough to be called beautiful. Her facial features were not suitable for heavy makeup to begin with. It was only suitable for light application. Coupled with the serenity between her eyebrows at this moment, she was even more beautiful.
This answer did not surprise Zou Yu. Even a person who was not direct would know when to say something direct to cover up. But the problem now was that she did not understand what this seemingly ordinary young man in front of her was hiding. Or to put it more deeply, she did not even know if he was hiding anything.
At the entrance of Qingshan Park, Xu Le called out and knocked over a car. She followed him. Outside the Linyuan of Wangdu Hospital, Xu Le smoked a cigarette outside the car. She thought about it for a while in the car and did not get out. She followed him directly to this inconspicuous apartment.
Zou Yu believed that she was a clear-headed person. She was willing to follow Xu Le, aside from some thoughts that could not be exposed in front of others, mostly because of the little life in her belly.
No matter what kind of woman she was, at the moment of her first pregnancy, she would succumb to her instincts, or rather, succumb to her secreted hormones. A greater woman would have such a thing as maternal love, so they would be sentimental, sensitive, and give birth to a tigress who would not care about anything.
Zou Yu became ruthless, so she ran away from home, washed away her lead, and hid in this apartment to prepare for the birth of her child. She had been sentimental before, so when she saw Xu Le's black car on Highway 2, she would cry like a black cloud destroying a city. But now that everything had settled down temporarily, it was difficult to calm down her increasingly sensitive mind.
She had her own reasons for the situation in front of her, but what about him? Was it really because the child in her belly was the descendant of his brother?
Zou Yu sipped the sticky protein powder and frowned slightly. She did not deliberately hide the cautious gaze she shot at Xu Le.
It was still the same saying. It was common to be limited by the so-called loyalty. Because of a moment of hot-bloodedness, it was rare to be able to protect someone gently for a long time, not tired of trouble, and not be disloyal. Zou Yu tilted her head slightly and looked at Xu Le with interest. These days, Xu Le had looked up a lot of things on the Internet and took very good care of her. Whether it was cooking or washing, he did not show any reluctance or boredom. Looking at his behavior, it seemed as if he was prepared to protect her for as long as he could not find Shi Qinghai.
However, at this time, both the man and woman at the table knew that it was not easy for Shi Qinghai to come back openly … Everyone had seen thunder and lightning, but no one had seen water penetrate a stone with their own eyes. The latter was obviously not easy. Therefore, Zou Yu was suspicious, Zou Yu was puzzled, and Zou Yu was a little depressed.
"I really find it hard to believe that there is someone like you in the Federation today." Zou Yu did not say that he was such a person, because it was difficult to express clearly in words. It was probably a positive evaluation related to morality.
"You women don't know much about men's affairs." Xu Le said an old saying that was not liked by feminists. He explained with a smile, "In my eyes, the women of my brothers are not women. Trouble related to my brothers is not trouble."
These words were not crude, and neither was the reason. However, no matter which era, there were many people who believed in these simple principles, but there were only a few men who could truly put their brothers first and not seduce their wives.
Xu Le did not know what he was doing now. In a certain time and space, there was a second master who did the same thing on a journey of thousands of miles. With his personality, he would just do what he did. He wasn't even willing to explain himself. However, when he looked at Zou Yu's eyes, he knew that pregnant women were sensitive. He had no choice but to explain with a smile. Even if she was a very beautiful pregnant woman who had a grudge with him before, she was still a pregnant woman after all.
The human rights of pregnant women were above everything else. This was a simple arithmetic problem, two to one.
Zou Yu was not a stupid woman. Although she had done some stupid things in the past few years, that was because she wanted to do it. When she heard Xu Le's words and looked into Xu Le's eyes, she suddenly smiled and said softly, "I really don't know if that hooligan surnamed Shi is lucky or if I am lucky."
Although she said this lightly, Zou Yu's eyes were filled with a faint sense of awe. She respected Xu Le's actions, but she also feared Xu Le's actions. There were very few people like him in the Federation. She wondered what kind of people he would become in the future.
Xu Le smiled and did not respond. He naturally got up and prepared to wash the dishes. Now, all the housework in this simple apartment was done by him. Therefore, when he was working with Professor Shen in the research institute, he did not have much time and energy to enter the database to search for the things he wanted.
"Don't wash the dishes for now. Come with me for a walk. Don't just walk in the neighborhood today. I want to sit on the street."
Xu Le hesitated for a moment and nodded. Zou Yu had been very quiet for the past few days. She did not cause any trouble for him. She did her duty as a pregnant woman and did not even contact her bad friends. It was reasonable for him to accompany her for a walk. Pregnant women needed to exercise and relax.
The young couple walked along the big tree below the apartment and slowly walked towards the brighter lights of the business district. After a long silence, Xu Le said with some shame, "I am not good with words. I guess you have been a bit bored these past few days. If Mr. Shi was here, I don't think you would find it so boring."
When she heard Shi Qinghai's name, Zou Yu's expression changed slightly. She immediately returned to her usual cold and indifferent appearance in front of others. From the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of a few figures in the dark at the entrance of the neighborhood. She could not help but frown.
Those people were tall and sturdy. It seemed that they had no intention of hiding their whereabouts, but they also had no intention of coming forward. Xu Le looked over there and said, "Trouble is coming."
"This is a very natural thing. You can't take me to the Triangle." Zou Yu tightened the pony around her shoulders and said with a slight ridicule, "If you can really hide it from my family and let me give birth to the child, it will be a miracle."
Xu Le was surprised that the Zou family found out about Zou Yu's whereabouts so quickly. After all, it was not difficult for the Minister of Defense to investigate a person in the capital special district.
"You said you were not afraid of trouble." Zou Yu's hand slowly stroked her slightly bulging belly. Thinking about the tragedy of the child in her belly if she was caught by her family, her voice could not help but become cold.
"The key is your attitude." Xu Le looked at the guys who were obviously soldiers. He carefully held her arm and stepped over the metal railing at the entrance of the neighborhood.
