Chapter 308 Reply Message
"Go check it out! Professor Liu and Mr. Lin are back."
There was a commotion at Houying No. 1 Middle School. Su Ming saw a large group of people rushing towards the door. He did not fall behind and immediately put down what he was doing.
Su Ming also rushed to the door immediately. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Liu Lingshan walking in with a big bag. The bag immediately attracted Su Ming's attention. The lavender, purple and gray crystals in it were emitting a very familiar scent.
There is no mistake! These crystals are the same as the one that Bai Long dug out from Chibi's brain.
These should be the fragments of chaos. If he can devour all of these fragments, then his annihilation energy may be replenished.
"Xiao Ming, why are you standing here?" Liu Lingshan walked up to Su Ming and said with a smile.
"Nothing." Su Ming withdrew his gaze from the bag in Liu Lingshan's hand.
Liu Lingshan stared at Su Ming silently for a few seconds, then suddenly moved his face closer and stared into Su Ming's eyes.
"Oh~ It's really special. Your eyes have mutated. This won't happen to ordinary people. It seems something interesting happened when I was away." After saying that, she reached out and grabbed Su Ming's arm and squeezed it. She nodded thoughtfully, then touched Su Ming's head. "Let's go, get ready, we should go to the next place."
"Leave here?" Su Ming was shocked.
" That's right, the mission has been completed, the main problems have been solved, and other people will take care of the aftermath. There is no need to stay here any longer. Our next schedule is fully scheduled." Liu Lingshan said.
"today?"
"The sooner the better. I'll give you twenty minutes to pack your luggage, and the same goes for both of you." Liu Lingshan turned to look at Cass and Gu Dongshu.
Such an intense action was beyond Su Ming's expectations, but it was also reasonable. With Liu Lingshan's strength, her value to the world is immeasurable, so naturally she has no time to rest or stay.
Su Ming returned to his dormitory and began to organize his few clothes, then saw his cell phone.
He did not bring his mobile phone when he rushed to provide support , so it remained here. The battery of the mobile phone was exhausted in three days. When Su Ming charged his mobile phone and sorted other luggage while charging, the charging efficiency of mobile phone batteries in this world is very high. A mobile phone with zero battery can be fully charged in just ten minutes.
By the time Su Ming had finished tidying up his clothes, his cell phone was fully charged and turned on.
Su Ming picked up his phone and saw that it was full of text messages and calls from Xia Xiaoyu.
【I can't sleep today, are you asleep? 】
…
[I miss you so much that I can't sleep. Can we chat? Are you free? ]
…
[Why didn’t you reply to my message? Did something happen to you? ]
…
Then there were three consecutive calls, and after that there was a missed call almost every half hour. Judging from the time, Xia Xiaoyu had not slept at all.
In addition to Xia Xiaoyu sending him messages, Flora, Chu Xiaobai and Jiang Yichuang also sent him some messages.
Flora's message: [I'm making good progress here. The new job is not as difficult as I thought before, and those nobles are not that difficult to deal with. How about you? How is your work over there? The deputy director is a very powerful person, but the missions he carries out are also very dangerous. You must pay more attention to safety when you follow the deputy director to carry out missions.]
Flora's text message had the flavor of a family letter, and the few words she wrote could be summed up as "I'm fine, how about you?"
This kind of message that carries the flavor of work report is the most difficult to reply to, but if you don’t reply, it seems very impolite.
Let’s take a look at other people’s information for now.
Su Ming opened Chu Xiaobai's chat box. Chu Xiaobai's messages were mostly photos, or photos taken with Alice. The only few sentences were: [Alice asked me to ask you when you will come back? ], [Alice asked me to ask you if you will bring her a gift when you come back? ], [Where is Sister Xiaoyu? I want to go and play with Sister Xiaoyu], etc.
You can tell at a glance that the last message was sent by Alice.
Su Ming could see through Chu Xiaobai's intention in sending those messages at a glance.
Chu Xiaobai sent a message to himself, not because he was worried or concerned, but because Alice missed him. In order to please Alice, Chu Xiaobai naturally helped Alice contact himself, hoping to get some information from him so that he could show off in front of Alice.
"Are all kids nowadays so cunning?" Su Ming thought secretly and decided not to reply to Chu Xiaobai.
Su Ming opened Jiang Yichuang's profile picture. Just like himself, Jiang Yichuang's profile picture had a strong working-class vibe. The profile picture used was a frontal photo of him. In the lower left corner of the profile picture, there was a pattern and logo representing the Investigation Bureau Seven.
Su Ming dared to guarantee that if Jiang Yichuan used this avatar to fall in love online, the failure rate would be 100%. And if he used this avatar to make sales, he would definitely be regarded as a low-level salesperson by customers... In short, his aesthetic taste was really poor. If it weren't for his relatively handsome face, this avatar would be completely useless.
Jiang Yichuan: [Xiao Ming, I heard that you went out with the deputy director. Please be careful and know how to escape when necessary. In addition, I sent you a storage item by mail. It is a necklace that can store items. It comes with an instruction manual. Please check it carefully.]
Another gift! The captain is such a nice guy. He’s just like the NPC in the game who gives gifts intermittently.
Su Ming quickly typed a few words: [Thank you, I may have to go back in a while. ]
[You're welcome. Please be careful when carrying out your mission.] Jiang Yichuan replied immediately.
After replying to Jiang Yichuang, Su Ming immediately texted Xia Xiaoyu back, informing her that everything was fine. Then Xia Xiaoyu called and asked about his return date. After learning that Su Ming would not be able to return to the island in a short time, Xia Xiaoyu seemed very disappointed and said that she felt lonely at night.
Su Ming pretended not to understand such lewd words, found an excuse to hang up the phone, and replied to Flora's message: [I'm fine. ]
…
On Dongyang Island, Flora, who was taking a bath in the bathtub, heard the vibration of her cell phone not far away. She opened her eyes, her gaze piercing through the mist, and then she stood up with her hands on the edge of the bathtub. Water droplets rolled down her graceful body, and no one could see her proud and perfect figure in the apartment where she lived alone.
No... maybe it's not that no one knows.
Flora looked at the place where she usually put the towels. It was empty. She didn't change her expression or wipe her body. She walked to the shelf where the mobile phones were placed and picked up the phone on it.
When Flora saw Su Ming's reply on her phone, her beautiful eyes lit up.
Flora was worried because Su Ming didn't reply to her text message for two days. Now the message she had been waiting for came.
After seeing Su Ming's three brief words, Flora's delicate eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and a bit of disappointment appeared in her eyes. It was obvious that she was expecting more content.
But this is enough. As long as Su Ming has replied, it at least means that he is fine. So... let's tell Su Ming about some special circumstances recently.
Flora took off the towel draped over her shoulders, dried herself roughly, put on a bathrobe, and walked into the living room.
The heating where she lived was turned on very high, and although it was winter, the room was as warm as spring.
She walked to the bookshelf, took down a folder, took out a few photos inside, took a photo and sent it to Su Ming.
The people in these photos are all those who have recently appeared to inquire about Su Ming's news. Several of them have come to the Investigation Bureau repeatedly to ask whether Su Ming is there. After learning that Su Ming is out, they are particularly interested in Su Ming's return.
Although these people claimed to be ordinary people who were saved by Su Ming during the last turmoil , Flora did not think so.
These people are so suspicious.
Flora: [Do you know these people? ]
Su Ming: [I don’t know him.]
Flora: [These people have been asking about you recently. I don't think they are good people.]
After sending this message, she waited for a long time before she received a reply from Su Ming.
Su Ming: [Got it. Can you help me keep an eye on them? No need to investigate, just keep an eye on them.]
Flora: [Okay, when will you come back? I will cook more dishes then.]
Su Ming: [Not sure yet]
Flora: [Then tell me before you come back. ]
Su Ming: [Okay.]
Flora noticed that there was a time interval between the last message Su Ming replied to and the previous ones.
The content of the last message was very brief, but the reply time was relatively long, more than ten seconds. So there are two possibilities. The first is that Su Ming did not actually want to take on the obligation to report his itinerary to her before returning, so he hesitated before replying.
The second possibility is that Su Ming happened to encounter something, such as being talked to by other people while he was replying to the message, so his reply time became slower.
Although the second possibility also exists, it is too accidental and less likely than the first.
But Su Ming had promised her after all, and did not choose to change the subject. If Su Ming wanted to refuse to assume this obligation, he could have used irrelevant words like "I don't know when I'll be back" to change the subject, but Su Ming did not do that.
From this we can judge that he is not actually very resistant to taking on this obligation.
Flora sighed, put the locked screen of her phone on the coffee table, leaned back into the soft sofa, and looked up at the chandelier above her head.
She was becoming more and more confused about herself... Whether in terms of emotions or desires, she shouldn't be obsessed with some extravagant hopes that shouldn't belong to her. She had already gained enough from Su Ming and shouldn't continue to ask for more from him, let alone cause him meaningless pressure.
Flora knows her own heart. She knows what she is hoping for and that this hope is extremely shameful. From this delusion she can reflect on her own selfish heart.
