In the early morning, the kitten-like Amane Ayanami scratched her nose with her hand and gradually woke up.
But when she saw Li Yi staring at her with a smile, Ayanami Snow immediately let out a strange scream, quickly covered her face with her two small hands, covered her eyes, and peeked again. Sure enough, it was Li Yi, and he was still smiling at her.
Ayanami Snow blushed and whispered: "What do you want to do?"
Li Yi shook his head and said, "I'm looking to see when you plan to get up. You've been resting on my arm all night. If you don't move, I can't move either."
ah!
Ayanami Snow jumped up from the bed in a panic. Looking back, she found that she had slept on Li Yi's arm all night. The blood circulation was not good, and Li Yi's arm was a little blue.
"I'm sorry! I must have gone to the wrong room!" Ayanami Snow apologized to Li Yi with some embarrassment, and blew on the bruises on Li Yi's arms with her mouth. It was very interesting. This is not a burn. What's wrong with blowing?
use?
Li Yi raised his arm, rubbed it, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it'll be fine in a while. I'm a martial arts practitioner, so I'm not so pretentious. You just wait here obediently, and I'll go out for a while."
After that, Li Yi went to the living room and called TEDA to ask for leave.
Nowadays, technology has developed, and smartphones can directly detect a person's physical condition, body temperature, heartbeat, and even the symptoms of the disease.
But Li Yi has Coke. The all-powerful Coke can change these data in the blink of an eye.
Ahem~
During the video call, Li Yi coughed twice on purpose. He had just gotten up and was not in good spirits. He really looked like he was sick.
"What did you do?" Teda asked with a frown.
"I went to the Yellow River last night to practice some physical fitness and got a bit cold," Li Yida said.
Upon hearing that he had contracted the cold due to training, TEDA immediately looked much better and said with concern: "The body temperature is almost 40 degrees. It turns out that you are seriously ill. Anyway, there is nothing urgent now. I will give you three days off."
, recover from your illness and come back to school."
"But I have to warn you in advance. After the situation in South Asia, several military bosses slammed the table angrily. Now everyone in the Republican Army is very nervous. This year's original fighting competition may be very different from previous years. You
You are the second in command, and you must not skip class all day long like in the past."
After hanging up the phone, Amane Ayanami poked her head out of the room, looking weird, and made a face at Li Yi, "You actually often skip classes?"
Li Yi said lightly: "I skipped class today not because of your little trouble. I promised Emma to keep you safe until this matter is over."
Protect?
Ayanami Snow was startled, perhaps because she was born in an occupied area and has been around danger since she was a child, so the word "protect" makes her particularly sensitive.
Li Yi put on his clothes and went to the supermarket outside the gate to buy Ayanami Snow a toothbrush, towels and other personal items, and also bought breakfast by the way.
Ayanbo Xue is a little girl after all, and Li Yi doesn't want her to be too sloppy with him. After knowing her life experience, Li Yi looks at her somewhat differently and no longer regards her as just a star, but as an ordinary little girl who is sympathetic.
.
The neighbors in the compound asked Li Yi why he didn't go to school. Li Yi had no choice but to say that he was sick. As a result, Uncle Liu from the opposite door just gave Li Yi the breakfast he had just bought, and then turned around and went back to buy it.
There was no other way, so Li Yi had no choice but to go home early.
Ayanami Snow always looks out the window when eating. Even though the machinery factory is very old and has no scenery, the little girl still looks at it with gusto.
"Don't you have a chance to go out and play?" Li Yi asked casually.
Ayanami Snow shook her head and said, "Emma always said that it's dangerous outside."
Li Yi's heart skipped a beat. Being a star actually has its disadvantages. If Ayanami Snow appeared in the city in broad daylight, the streets would be deserted. She wanted to have a quiet meal or go shopping.
Emma must have wanted to protect Ayanami Snow, but it was not an option to keep an adolescent girl at home. Li Yi grew up outside and knew how painful it was to be locked up.
Li Yi seemed to see Ayanami Snow, who was malnourished when he was a child, hiding uneasily with his parents in a dark corner of the occupied area, watching in horror the mutant beasts running past, hoping that someone could save him from that hell on earth.
.
She grew up in a occupied area and had no freedom. In human society, she became a teenage star and still had no freedom. Li Yi actually sympathized with her.
"When this matter is over, I will take you out for a walk." Li Yi said softly.
"Really!?" Ayanami Snow was suddenly startled and said with shining eyes.
Li Yi raised a hand and passed it across the back of her head like a magic trick. He conjured a tea egg in his hand and said with a smile: "Don't forget, I can do magic. If I don't let others find you, I won't be able to find you."
People can find you.”
Ayanami Snow believed Li Yi's words because he had seen with his own eyes how magical Li Yi was.
That night, Li Yi pulled Lingbo Xue to escape the killer's pursuit. The door would open automatically wherever he went. Li Yi even knew how many flies were flying within dozens of miles around. This magical ability was naturally used by Li Yi.
Ayanami Snow understood it as incredible magic.
After dinner, Ayanami Snow was on the balcony, holding her cheek and looking down. Li Yi started browsing the Star Network again. Recently, he was obsessed with metal smelting.
Producing anti-gravity shoes requires Kiev alloy, and only the Leipzig Steel Works on Earth has the ability to produce Kiev alloys. The scrap materials Li Yi got from them were limited, and they were only enough to produce 10,000 sets of anti-gravity devices every month.
There are hundreds of workers in the machinery factory. Once the skills are proficient, they can complete this work in just one week. What will happen with the remaining three weeks? Is there a big holiday?
So he is considering whether he can produce Kiev alloy himself and expand production capacity.
At noon, Uncle Liu from across the street came again. Without saying a word, he dropped a cooked old hen to Li Yi and asked him to have a good rest at home.
As soon as Li Yi was polite, Uncle Liu immediately became anxious and said: "Xiao Yi, it's thanks to you that the machinery factory can resume production! My son and grandson all have a job because of you. Now that the world has such a large population, how can we
It’s not easy to have a job! What’s wrong with my uncle treating you to a chicken?”
Li Yi had nothing to say and had no choice but to accept the old hen.
Just as Uncle Liu left, Aunt Song from the back building came again, "Xiao Yi, I heard that you are sick? I specially stewed a tortoise, a wild one, which is very nourishing."
As soon as Li Yi was polite, Aunt Song became anxious, "I have been working in this machinery factory forty years ago. Seeing the factory prosper and then collapse, I feel bad, old lady! It's a pity that I don't have the ability, so I have to rely on you guys.
The young man has propped up the factory again. I can't do anything else. What's wrong with stewing a bastard for you? Stop talking nonsense and eat it for me quickly. I'll get better and go back to school soon."
There was no other way, so Li Yi had no choice but to accept another tortoise.
Looking at the two big soup bowls on the table, Li Yi smiled and said, "Okay this time, let's have Farewell My Concubine (chicken) for lunch."
Ayanami Snow covered her mouth and giggled, and said happily: "It's really interesting, how can these people be so nice to you? You are just pretending to be sick. If you are really sick, you will be fine."
Li Yi said casually: "This is the culture of a compound. Neighbors in a compound are like a family. Everyone will help each other when something happens."
After finishing his words, Li Yi caught a glimpse of Lingbo Xue biting her lip with her teeth.
She really doesn't understand the compound culture, because she grew up in an occupied area. She heard that in order to compete for the only food there, humans would fight each other, and there were even tragedies of cannibalism.
The two of them sat at the table and ate Farewell My Concubine. Even though Li Yi was quite good at amusing someone, it took a lot of effort to make Ayanami Snow smile again.
Sometimes memory is like a scar that goes deep into the bone marrow. Although it seems to be healed on the surface, I don't know when the pain will return.
After the meal, Ayanami Xue was very happy to wash the dishes. This girl obviously didn't know how to work. She put a lot of detergent, and her face was covered with foam, and her head was also like a naughty rabbit. Li Yi's belly was filled with laughter.
It almost hurts.
At this moment, Coke quietly said to Li Yi: "Emma is here."
"Then what?"
"She is not alone, she also brings experts." Coke said mysteriously.
