Bionic Robotics Lab.

Xuan Zhi was absent-minded all the time, until Chen Jingpei lightly pinched the tip of her nose, and she seemed to have turned on the start button, suddenly becoming lively.

"Are you tired?" Chen Jingpei stared at her eyes, which were still distracted, "I looked a little dazed."

"You're just staying." He would talk back, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with him.

Chen Jingpei smiled indulgently, "Then what were you thinking just now?"

"I didn't think about anything, I just felt..." She lowered her eyelashes slightly, staring at the special material floor under her feet that was so bright that it could reflect people's shadows, and expressed her doubts in her heart: "Why does Sister Alan feel warm?" Xie Zhou looks a lot like my Uncle Xuan Jin? I thought it was my illusion before."

"Huh?" Chen Jingpei focused on the key point: "You also feel the same way?"

"Hmm." Xuan Zhi nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, "I actually wanted to tell you a long time ago, when I saw Wen Xiezhou for the first time, it was like seeing my uncle."

"However...Wen Xiezhou is younger than my uncle. But if we really say it, five years ago, when my uncle died, he was actually as young as Wen Xiezhou..."

The ending sound gradually weakened, and when the eyelashes were raised again, there were tears in the bottom of the eyes, "I once imagined that my uncle might have faked his death, and then changed his name and surname to perform some special mission."

"But... Sister Ah Nan said that she saw with her own eyes that her uncle was bombed to the ground to save the hostages, and she couldn't even pick them up. In the martyr's cemetery, what was brought back was just his clothes. .That's why Sister Ah Yan has always wanted to stay in Luoguo and not come back."

"But today...she saw someone who looked like Uncle Xuan Jin, I really don't know if she will go crazy, I'm afraid she will suffer even more."

"No." Chen Jingpei clasped her icy fingers and comforted her: "Dr. Cen has gone through so many ups and downs, and he must be stronger than we imagined. Men who are somewhat similar will fall in."

"Her emotions today should only be temporary. When she truly recognizes the reality, she will naturally let go of it."

"Hmm." That's all I can hope for.

……

At night, the crescent moon sticks out of the river bed.

Xuan Zhi and Chen Jingpei returned to Jiahu Bay after having a candlelight dinner outside.

As soon as she fell into the sofa, Chen Jingpei said courteously, "A Zhi, I think your nails are a bit long, can you cut them for me?"

"Is it very long?" Xuan Zhi stretched out her hand and looked at her shiny and beautiful nails, "I think it's just right."

"It's not good at all." Chen Jingpei premeditated, pretending to be aggrieved, "You caught me very painful today."

"...how did I catch you today?" Xuan Zhi looked puzzled.

"At my mother's place today," Chen Jingpei recalled shamelessly for her, "When I fed you peach cake, you scratched me so badly."

"I..." Xuan Zhi was really speechless by him, "I only grabbed your clothes, I didn't grab you."

"It hurts to be scratched by you even through the clothes."

Xuan Zhi: "..."

"Then you are really thin and tender, Mr. Chen Jingpei." Xuan Zhi said deliberately to make him angry.

Then, putting on the arrogant appearance of the baron appointed by Her Majesty the Queen, she said with grace and honor: "Okay, I'm rough, come on, cut it. Don't accidentally get caught by me when you're upside down." It hurts, but I’m not.”

Chen Jingpei: "..."

Chen Jingpei was angry and funny, but he still didn't hesitate to search for pruning tools.

Nail clippers, nail polish, nail polish, a piece of white paper, and a small glass bottle.

With Xuan Zhi's small head full of doubts, Chen Jingpei carefully held her fingers, poured the nail scraps cut on the white paper into a small glass bottle as if it were a treasure, and then sealed it. stand up.

"What are you doing with your fingernails in a bottle?"

His hands didn't touch her nail shavings the whole time, which was a bit strange.

Chen Jingpei explained slowly: "This is the first time I've cut your nails with my own hands, and I want to treasure it."

He said it very sincerely, Xuan Zhi buffered it for a while, and didn't doubt it anymore.

But when she went to brush her teeth before going to bed, she suddenly found that her electric toothbrush had been replaced with a brand new one.

Although the machine housekeeper would replace some toiletries every now and then, but tonight's toothbrush seemed to be replaced by Chen Jingpei himself.

Shouldn't it be treasured too?

It feels a little strange.
