Ark, after I died, the operators started to love me.

Lin Yuxia will become part of Longmen in the future, protecting the peace of the region, but there is another person that Governor Wei has always been concerned about and has tried every means to help to get a position.

Chen Huijie.

He ultimately treated this child somewhat unfairly.

If Huijie had kept Dr. An, perhaps...

Hey.

Wei Yanwu felt ashamed of his own thoughts. They were all his own nephews and nieces; why talk about order of precedence and showing favoritism?

"If Lin Yuxia can do it, then let her go."

Lady Wenyue knew exactly what her husband was thinking. She gently tapped the tip of his nose and sighed, "You always worry too much. Let the young people handle their own affairs. Just let nature take its course."

"That's what the lady said."

Governor Wei embraced his wife and chuckled, "Let's watch the show, let's not waste the ticket money."

Wen Yue quietly slipped her hand inside her husband's coat and whispered, "So you had ulterior motives for inviting me to the play."

Wei Yanwu remained unfazed. Over the years, he had honed his skills to a formidable level; a mere...

Ok.

The lady guessed correctly.

The governor and his wife came to see the play to tell the people of Longmen that what happened in the outer ring was a minor matter and had already been resolved. Didn't they see that the city lord had come to play with his wife?

He also planned a chance encounter at the theater entrance to make the play more realistic.

After all, the matter of the outer ring couldn't be spread, and Kal'tsit's plan for him was to divert public attention as much as possible.

Let's see this through to the end.

……

A week later.

At the entrance of the repair shop, Javier and his two companions were helping to move parts, while mechanic Mike was writing down reference parameters on blueprints.

"It is estimated that it will take a few more days to complete the initial assembly."

Mike put down his charcoal pencil, used both arms to forcefully place a piece of plastic back in its original position, took two steps back, looked at the sports car whose appearance was basically complete, and nodded with slight satisfaction.

Since watching the play with Lin Yuxia at the theater, the two of them obviously didn't do anything. Miss Lin was quite scared, and Mike didn't dare to ask.

However, upon closer reflection, very few people in Longmen could worry her this much. Coupled with the close-up images in the newspaper the next day, it was basically certain that Wei Yanwu and his wife had discovered Lin Yuxia's plan.

This is a good thing and a bad thing.

The good thing is that the girls can finally calm down; the bad thing is that they'll have to be more careful if they want to give him any perks in the future.

Seven or eight days passed peacefully. Apart from Texas coming once to give a partial advance payment for the car repairs under the name of Penguin Logistics, the other girls did not show up.

Mike couldn't help but miss his two months of living alone.

Being single is so much easier.

Perhaps even his mindset was affected; he found Jia Wei and the other two much more agreeable.

With them around, Texas wouldn't dare to act rashly.

Just as Mike was lost in thought, Broca walked in from outside, wiping his sweat as he said, "Boss, our Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals office in Lungmen is conducting a free medical check-up for residents of the outer ring. If you have time, you can come and participate in the check-up."

Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals has become active in Lungmen?

"I understand. You can go home if you're free today."

Boss Mike was always lenient and didn't have high expectations of his employees. Javi and the other two regarded him as a rare and kind person. In addition, his knowledge of a little Syracuse further shortened the distance between them.

Mike took off his gloves, grabbed a towel to wipe his sweat, and thought to himself: Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals is probably conducting activities in Lungmen because of Kal'tsit, with the aim of cleaning up the outer ring under the guise of a medical check-up.

Moreover, Broca came to inform him that Kal'tsit might have already been released from prison.

It's a real shame I didn't get to see the old woman in jail; those scenes in the outer ring illusion don't count.

So should I get a physical exam?

Mike thought about it and decided to keep his distance.

His identity is special, and he has done his best to hide himself. If there are any operators on duty among the Rhodes Island medical examiners, wouldn't that increase the risk of exposure?

Within minutes, Broca returned: "Boss, someone outside is looking for you."

Mike looked up, draped the towel around his neck, and strode out of the repair shop, wondering who it could be.

Lin Yuxia naturally wouldn't come alone. Texas hasn't been here for a few days, probably delivering goods with Penguin Logistics. Mostima has disappeared since we met that day, so maybe she'll give him a "big surprise".

However, when Mike came outside, he saw that it was a snow pheasant.

The little girl pushed a bicycle to the entrance of the repair shop. When she saw Mike, she bowed to him, leaving everyone puzzled.

"Miss Snow Pheasant, what are you doing?"

"Um, I damaged your bicycle on the outer ring road. This is compensation for you."

"Not at all. My bicycle ended up on the outer ring road for some reason. It's not your fault that it's damaged, so there's no need for you to spend money."

Mike's first reaction was to refuse. Lin Yuxia said she could help him get a bicycle with the association's money, so he shouldn't accept anything from Snow Pheasant at all.

Snowsnake seemed to have guessed Mike's reaction, threw the car keys into the basket, and shouted, "It's settled then."

The little girl then turned and ran away.

Unfortunately, she couldn't outrun Mike at all, and was caught by the man in less than a hundred meters.

“Miss Snow Chickadee, as I just said, the problem with the bicycle is not your fault, and you don’t need to come and compensate me for it.”

Mike put the car keys back into Snowflake's hand and said, "The best outcome is that you're safe and sound."

Li Boli's eyes reddened as she looked at the man.

The unfamiliar face made her take a step back.

in case.

I wish I could see that person again.

Snow Pheasant lowered her head, her shoulders trembling: "I'm sorry."

She pushed her bicycle away.

Mike's heart softened as he looked at the little girl's lonely figure.

Thirty years old

My 30th birthday.

I've finally turned 30.

Four years ago, I developed a herniated disc due to heavy physical labor and had to stay in bed. Coincidentally, Arknights launched, which sparked the idea of ​​writing a book, and from then on, I couldn't stop.

Thanks to the support of so many book lovers, I am able to sit in front of the computer and write today.

Looking back on when I wrote "Return to Rhode Island," the first month's payment of 130 yuan feels like a lifetime ago.

This story of Mike Ann has only just begun and will continue in the future.

First of all, happy birthday to me.

Hahahahaha.

Today, I'm going to shamelessly ask everyone for a subscription. Just subscribe.

Many thanks.

24. A photo booth picture with a snow pheasant.

He, An, is all hard, except for his soft heart.

"Miss Snow Chime, let me take you there. There must be some misunderstanding between us."

Snow Pheasant wiped the corner of her eye with the back of her hand and forced a smile: "Mr. Mike is right, I may have made a mistake."

Mike walked beside the girl, pointed to the bicycle, and asked, "Can I try it out?"

"of course can."

Upon hearing this, the snow pheasant quickly stepped aside and handed the bicycle to the man.

The girl lacked confidence and was in dire financial straits. It was already a great effort for her to squeeze out a portion of her living expenses to buy a bicycle and deliver it.

Mike suspected she still believed what happened on the outer ring road was real. He was willing to pay for the bicycle, since he needed it himself.

His previous car was secondhand; he bought it from a scrap yard for only twenty yuan, which was much worse than the car that Xuezhi brought.

Mike climbed onto the bike, rode around twice, and then slowly stopped beside the Snow Pheasant. Looking up at the girl, he exclaimed, "That's a good bike."

Xuezhi looked at him without saying a word, expressing her feelings with her eyes.

“I can accept the car, but I will buy it back at the original price, no matter how much you paid.”

"How could this be?"

"why not?"

Mike interrupted her, stopping Snowchi from continuing: "How are you going to get home tonight?"

“I can take the bus,” Snow Chicks said, taking a bus pass out of an old wallet.

"How about I take you home?"

The little girl's eyes lit up, but then she thought of something and lowered her head again, politely declining Mike's offer.

"No need, it's too far, Mr. Mike."

"Okay, that's it."

Mike also took out his wallet, pulled out a stack of Lungmen dollars, and stuffed them into Snow Chick's hand.

Snow Pheasant quickly replied, "Too much, too much."

"Show me your car purchase receipt."
