Volume 7: Frost Chapter 24: Thoughts
So all the special technical personnel stayed in the research institute.
After nightfall, they were arranged to rest in the dormitory building.
Ji Xiaozhen and others continued to be busy, determining the status of the small world, calibrating data, and formulating plans... When she walked back to the office, she saw Guan Qingtong sitting inside, holding a book in her hand and slowly flipping through it.
After hearing the voice, Guan Qingtong put down the book.
Ji Xiaozhen walked to the table and said, "Qingtong, it's getting late. You should go back and have some rest."
"What's the situation?" Guan Qingtong asked.
"It's OK. The loss is within controllable range, but we will definitely have to re-evaluate it later," Ji Xiaozhen pulled out a chair and sat down. "But it's OK. Shunan had it so easy before. It's good for him to have a little setback."
"Xiao Nuo too."
"They will all mature slowly. Xiaonuo and Shunan are both good kids."
Guan Qingtong nodded, "I hope so."

Guan Nuo stood outside Tang Butian's room. He raised his hand to ring the doorbell, but put it down when his finger touched the doorbell. He looked around and hesitated for a while. When he was about to leave, the door of the room was opened. Tang Butian stood in the door, looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?"
She changed out of her skirt and put on a set of light gray polka-dot home clothes provided by the institute, which were similar in style to a hospital gown.
"I, I came to see you." Guan Nuo quickly glanced at Tang Butian and asked, "How do you feel now? When we were eating just now, I saw that you didn't look well. Are you injured?"
"Come in." Tang Butian turned and walked inside.
The dormitory is not big and is divided into two rooms, the inner one is the bedroom and the outer one is the living room. There are two chairs and a small round coffee table in the living room.
After Guan Nuo sat down, he said, "I'm in Room 307. Just go down the stairs and turn the corner."
Tang Butian didn't say anything.
Guan Nuo smiled awkwardly, his voice lowered, "When the accident happened, you threw us out and left us alone in there. I couldn't help at all. I should have asked them to cut off contact earlier so that you wouldn't have to get hurt."
"You calculated the direction correctly." Tang Butian said.
This time Guan Nuo did not respond. He lowered his eyes and looked at the pattern on the carpet.
Because she was sitting, Tang Butian's pants were pulled up a little. She was wearing slippers, and a small part of her white instep was exposed.
Guan Nuo looked away and said, "Section Chief, can you please stay here and not go back to the mountain?"
"No." Tang Butian answered quickly.
"You can practice here, too."
"no the same."
"Why is it different?"
"In the mountains, I don't have to think about anything. I can just focus on my training."
"It's OK at the foot of the mountain."
"On the mountain, I can stay in seclusion for ten years, or even a hundred years. Down the mountain, that's impossible."
"A hundred years?" Guan Nuo was a little unconvinced.
"right."
"Have you ever been in seclusion for that long?"
"No, but you can."
"In a hundred years, I will probably no longer be alive." Guan Nuo looked at Tang Butian's face. Her jet-black hair was scattered on her shoulders, which made her delicate features and skin as white as snow. She looked like an inhuman doll. He said, "Are there no people or things down there that you would miss?"
"A lot." Tang Butian said without hesitation.
"I heard about what happened to you on the mountain. The one who was supposed to come down the mountain was Zhong Yan, and he stole your things. They didn't treat you well."
"That's because I'm not strong enough," Tang Butian pursed her lips and said, "I will fight back."
Guan Nuo was silent for a while, then he said, "I'll go back now. You should have a good rest. Come to me if you have any questions."
"good."
Guan Nuo stood up and walked out of Tang Butian’s dormitory.

Lin Yu heated up some milk for Jiang Mo, watched him drink it, supervised him brushing his teeth and washing his face, covered him with a thin blanket, adjusted the temperature and wind speed of the air conditioner, and then closed the lights and door of the room.
After doing all this, he went downstairs, walked to the yard, locked the shop door first, then stood in the middle of the yard, and after doing a set of boxing to warm up, he shouted softly, and a black light flashed on his wrist. He stretched out his hand to grab the air, then swung it to the side, and a meteor hammer appeared in his hand.
Jiang Mo threw back the quilt, jumped out of bed, staggered to the TV, picked up a pink Lego unicorn from the TV cabinet, then he yawned, turned around, and the night wind blew in from the half-open window.
Lin Yu felt a flash of pink light before his eyes.
He stopped and looked up, and seemed to see a boy flying through the sky on a pink unicorn.
He rubbed his eyes and turned to look at the window on his side.
The window is closed.

After Guan Nuo left, Tang Butian walked back to the bedroom. After sitting on the bed for a while, she walked out of the dormitory with a wooden sword, went downstairs, walked to a remote open space and began to practice sword .
She felt the knife moving with her heart. She could sense every line on the knife, and the stagnation in her previous moves became smooth.
She became more and more immersed in it.
The night is clear.
The warm moonlight fell on her body, dancing with the wooden sword in her hand.
Chirp.
Suddenly , she heard a bird chirping. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a coal tit flying from the distant sky and into the dormitory building.
Tang Butian stood still and put away his knife.
After standing there for a while, she quickly walked back to the dormitory building with the wooden sword in hand.
She did not return to her dormitory, but went to the third floor. After walking a few steps forward, she heard some sounds, which seemed to be mixed with the sound of birds. She looked forward and saw that the door of a dormitory was not closed tightly. The sound seemed to come from there.
She walked over and pushed the door open with a wooden sword, then saw Jiang You sitting on the sofa in pajamas, holding a can of beer in his hand, with a bag of melon seeds beside him. His cell phone was propped up on the coffee table, playing a video that seemed to be two fat men performing crosstalk.
She saw Jiujiu.
Standing at Jiang You's feet, it picked up the melon seed shell with its two claws, pecked open the shell with its beak, and pecked again to bite out the melon seed kernel.
Seeing Tang Butian, Jiang You looked frightened and asked, "Leader, what are you going to do?"
The room was filled with steam and the scent of shower gel.
Tang Butian turned and walked out of the room.
A few minutes later, Jiang You put on his shirt and opened the door. Tang Butian walked in again and sat down.
After closing the door, Jiang You walked back. He poured some melon seeds on the coffee table in front of her and said, "Why are you walking around instead of staying in your room to recover from your injuries?"
"Where do the melon seeds come from?" Tang Butian asked.
"Lao Chang brought it over. He came over and chatted with me for a while. I asked him if there was a small shop nearby, and he said no. Then he brought me some snacks." Jiang You opened the drawer of the coffee table and said, "There are also squid shreds, seafood rice crust, and chocolate. What do you want?"
"chocolate."
"Want some beer?"
"drink."
So Jiang You took out another can of beer from the small refrigerator and threw it to Tang Butian.
Tang Butian took the beer and said, "I don't quite understand."
