He asked, "How's your data collection coming along?"
"Almost there." Cheng Luo said with pride, "And I even secretly hacked into their database. Now all we need to find are those important paper documents that we don't know where they are."
“Once we find it, we’ll pack it up and hand it over to Li Zekai. That will definitely bring down Wang Guangju.”
Remembering something, he grabbed Yu Tang's hand and winked at him: "I forgot to tell you yesterday that the Mid-Autumn Festival is in a few days, and I've been sent outside the base to receive a batch of secret experimental equipment."
I've asked permission to take you out; we can walk around outside then.
"How about we treat this as a date?"
Cheng Luo first encountered the word "dating" in a book, and later, after watching many TV dramas, she learned that couples in love need to go on dates.
He knew that his feelings for Yu Tang were purely one-sided.
After all, eyes don't lie.
Even if the two people are very intimate, the man's gaze towards him is always filled with pity and guilt, and the rest is just unreasonable indulgence.
He loved Yu Tang's indulgence towards him, but he also hated this boundless indulgence.
That night, he deliberately lost control, wanting to see how long Yu Tang could tolerate him.
But the man just silently endured it, and even if she got angry with him afterwards, she would just cover it up with a few words.
He didn't lose his temper again.
This sight of Yu Tang made him feel inexplicably uneasy.
It was as if this person would disappear from his world without any regrets at any moment.
He was left alone, bewildered and helpless.
Therefore, he wanted to win over Yu Tang, to understand men better, and to do more things that couples do together.
I want... to make Yu Tang like him a little bit too.
Just a little bit.
Cheng Luo always kept his emotions well hidden, and Yu Tang didn't notice anything wrong with him, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go out together sometime, and you can also meet more normal people."
"I said a date, but you're making it sound like we're just going for a stroll?"
Cheng Luo emphasized, "It's a date between couples, understand? We're a couple!"
Yu Tang paused, his gaze softened, and he replied helplessly, "Okay, okay, we're a couple..."
Cheng Luo's eyes darkened, and he leaned down.
Just as Yu Tang was about to get angry after being kissed out of the blue, he saw Cheng Luo quickly retreat, turn her back to him, and open the door.
"I'm going to find those paper documents. I'll be back late today, so you don't need to wait for me."
“Luo…”
With a bang, the door slammed shut, cutting off Yu Tang's voice.
He frowned, suddenly realizing that Cheng Luo's tone was a bit off.
After a while, Jiang Yu asked Cheng Luo cautiously, "Brother Cheng Luo, what's wrong?"
Why are your eyes so red?
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
“Because I’m playing the role of a little rabbit…” Cheng Luo looked up, a smile returning to his face. He put his hands on his head, making the shape of ears, and answered Jiang Yu, “Don’t little rabbits all have red eyes? Don’t I look like a little rabbit?”
"Wow! It really looks like it!" Jiang Yan also looked over.
The two children were amused by Cheng Luo and copied the same action: "Now the three of us are all little bunnies..."
Listening to the conversation of the three people outside, Yu Tang's hand rested on the doorknob, somewhat lost in thought.
When he came to his senses and opened the door, he found that Cheng Luo had already left.
That night, Yu Tang tossed and turned, unable to sleep, his mind filled with Cheng Luo's words.
He wondered what Cheng Luo's expression was like at that moment.
Why would Jiang Yu ask Cheng Luo if his eyes were red? And the little rabbit thing is just blatant lying; it might fool a child, but it won't fool him.
The person who was always laughing and joking suddenly changed, and Yu Tang felt awkward all over, even finding it hard to breathe.
He fell asleep with a heavy heart, and in the latter half of the night, in a half-dreaming, half-awake state, he felt the bed beside him sink a little.
Then, a warm body pressed against him, and Yu Tang vaguely heard Cheng Luo ask.
"Tangtang, tell me, is there something Chen Zhi has on you?"
Chapter 24
Died for the villain for the third time (24)
Yu Tang instantly regained consciousness:
The system also woke up in surprise: [My god, they're all so smart!]
Yu Tang: What do you mean, each one is smarter than the last?
"Ah..." the system feigned ignorance: [I was just saying it offhand.]
I heard from a colleague that there were precedents where the system tried to erase a host's memories, but it didn't erase them completely.
Therefore, he dared not mention the first two villains in front of Yu Tang, for fear that Yu Tang would feel bad if she thought about them.
"Tangtang?" Cheng Luo asked softly, "Is she asleep?"
Yu Tang immediately snapped out of his daze, thinking to himself that he could pretend to be asleep.
After all, it's the middle of the night, a time when people should be sleeping.
Seeing that he was sleeping so soundly, Cheng Luo probably wouldn't disturb him any further.
"Or... are you pretending to be asleep?"
Yu Tang's little scheme was exposed by Cheng Luo's words, and he instantly lost his composure.
"Uh..." he pretended to have just woken up: "You're back?"
Why are you suddenly asking this?
"While I was looking for information, I found a file about the base's researchers."
Cheng Luo hugged him from behind and whispered, "Wang Guangju supported Chen Zhi in building this base, which involved 3,625 researchers. Such a large group of people could not have been kept secret from the country for 15 years. It couldn't have been just based on those so-called dogmas and oaths. There must have been something else."
"So I think Chen Zhi probably knows what these researchers fear most."
"Or it's the most important thing to these people."
He asked Yu Tang, "Tangtang, do you think my analysis is correct?"
Yu Tang froze, wanting to say, "Yes, yes, you're so smart, nothing can be hidden from you!"
However, he also knew very well that even if Cheng Luo knew he had a chip in his brain, he would die.
It doesn't make any sense either.
He had wondered before if, with Cheng Luo's intelligence, he could tell the other person that the young man could save him.
But the system says that forcibly removing the chip will cause it to explode.
Just imagine that scene; even a celestial being wouldn't survive.
Therefore, he was afraid that if he told Cheng Luo now, the youth would go berserk, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
But he couldn't deny it...
After a long silence, Yu Tang had a sudden inspiration and replied, "Yes, your analysis is correct."
Sure enough, Cheng Luo immediately followed up with another question: "So, Tangtang, can you tell me what they have on you that they can't hold against you?"
"Orphanage..."
Yu Tang used his acting skills as an award-winning actor, combined with the original owner's background, and quickly made up a lie: "I grew up in an orphanage. I regarded the orphanage as my home and the director as my mother. After it was found that my body and yours were 100% compatible, Chen Zhi used the people in the orphanage as a threat to demand that I guide you."
“I dare not refuse.” Yu Tang pursed her lips and said, “Besides, after I came here, I met you, a kind person, and saw what these children have gone through.”
So I thought, maybe we can work together to rescue them all.”
He spoke from the heart.
I almost moved myself to tears.
He refused to believe he couldn't fool Cheng Luo.
"These words..." Cheng Luo was moved by what she heard, and her heart ached.
He turned Yu Tang over so that she faced him: "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
Yu Tang looked up and sighed softly, "Because I wanted to wait until all of this was over before telling you, and I didn't want this to become a burden that hinders your actions."
The man frowned slightly, showing some guilt and helplessness; his expression was truly impeccable.
But secretly, he felt fortunate.
I finally managed to fool him.
The Best Actor award wasn't for nothing.
Cheng Luo hugged him tenderly, burying her face in his shoulder: "Next time, you must tell me in advance about things like this."
"As your lover, I want to know more about you."
"Tangtang, I want to be good to you."
I want to help you share the burden.
"For you, I can change all my bad habits, anything you don't like, I'll change..."
Upon hearing his words, Yu Tang's first thought wasn't one of being moved, but rather something else.
He interrupted Cheng Luo and asked sincerely, "Then can you please stop pressuring me to do it?"
