Quick Wear: Why did the male protagonist fall in love with the vicious villain again?

Chapter 385 The Little Rose of the Dark Captain (73)

A month later.

Bai Chao's application for double S level was approved.

Zong Hui really admires Xiao Xuxing.

He originally planned to spend years on the next phase of research.

This research will not be easy, Zong Hui is prepared for a protracted war, and the application from the Bai Dynasty will certainly be extended due to the length of the research time.

I didn't expect Xiao Xuxing to lower the mission level so quickly.

But this also means that this research can only succeed and not fail.

If Bai Chao can't do it, he will stay in the laboratory for the rest of his life until he succeeds.

Zong Hui looked at the paper notice with a red seal and sighed: "Captain Xiao, do you trust him so much?"

"Ah."

Xiao Xuxing glanced at Zong Hui: "Weren't you the first one to believe it?"

"Hahaha, that's because of the crystal core. It's different from you, Captain Xiao."

Zong Hui believes that this mission is worthy of being rated as double S, and the only one who can help them is Bai Chao.

"The ability to clear is very strong."

Xiao Xuxing always felt that if Bai Chao had supernatural powers, he must be someone who was no less capable than him.

He also hopes that this research will be successful, so that Bai Chao can have superpowers and be able to protect himself if he encounters danger.

He didn't want to see what happened in the cave again.

However, the laboratory is now the safest place in the entire shelter, and he does not need to worry about Bai Chao's personal safety here.

Xiao Xuxing glanced at the communicator. It was almost noon, and Bai Chao should rest.

He picked up the bag containing the thermal box, said hello to Zong Hui and left.

Zong Hui looked at Xiao Xuxing's back as he left, feeling rather envious. He also wished someone would bring him food when he was hungry.

At this time, You Xinyu popped out from nowhere and picked up a lunch box with a smile.

"Brother Zong! Do you want to eat mushrooms?"

"No thanks."

Zong Hui held up his glasses, pretending to be busy, and quickly walked around You Xinyu, running away at a quickened pace.

Why hasn't You Xinyu finished eating this mushroom? !

Zong Hui was quite considerate of You Xinyu at first and helped share a lot of mushrooms.

Maybe it was because of his good temper that You Xinyu sent him boxes of mushrooms, so many that Zong Hui hid in the laboratory and didn't want to go home.

Zong Hui really didn't want to eat mushrooms anymore.

You Xinyu sighed. Only one third of her mushrooms were left. Most of them had been dried into mushroom jerky. She could only watch the rest rot away.

After eating it for a while, she felt that the whole world was a huge mushroom.

Why do mushrooms have such a strong growth ability? She just had a sudden inspiration and started to get into trouble.

You Xinyu patted her head and said, "Oh right! I'm going to find Brother Qingzhi."

She remembered that Bai Chao was also in the laboratory.

You Xinyu came to the laboratory today to do some work and brought some dried mushrooms with her.

"Brother Qingzhi!"

In the small garden, Xiao Xuxing had just opened the lid when he heard a noisy sound coming from afar.

Bai Chao turned his head and said, "Ms. You."

You Xinyu ran over and chuckled.

"Brother Qingzhi, why are you eating dried mushrooms? They are fragrant and crispy dried mushrooms~"

Bai Chao glanced at the dried mushrooms that You Xinyu was offering like a treasure: "...I don't want to eat them."

You Xinyu's eyes rolled around, and she suddenly took out a handful of candies from her pocket.

"What about this?"

Bai Chao became interested: "What is this?"

You Xinyu said proudly: "This is a gold medal lemon candy, with super sour sour powder added, Brother Qingzhi, you will definitely like it~"

Xiao Xuxing's eyebrows twitched.

You Xinyu tried to persuade him: "Oh, I don't have much of this candy anymore, so how about this, as long as you buy one candy, I'll give you ten dried mushrooms for free~ Isn't that a good deal?"

"Um……"

Bai Chao was somewhat moved. He looked at the man: "Xiao Xuxing..."

Xiao Xuxing nodded slightly: "Okay."

Only then did Bai Chao take the candy and a large bag of dried mushrooms.

As soon as Xiao Xuxing handed over his contribution card, he saw Bai Chao was already preparing to open the candy bag.

He stopped Bai Chao who wanted to eat the candy as soon as he got it.

"After dinner."

"Oh..." Bai Chao looked at the candy in Xiao Xuxing's hand, and obediently picked up the chopsticks to eat first.

You Xinyu shook her head: "Tsk tsk tsk."

It really is the sour smell of love.

During this period, Xiao Xuxing would still come to her occasionally to purchase goods.

You Xinyu also knew who he was giving the food to, so she specifically picked out some sour snacks for Xiao Xuxing.

Xiao Xuxing put the candies and dried mushrooms aside and suddenly asked, "You Xinyu, did you know Qing Zhi before?"

You Xinyu didn't say directly: "Why do you ask?"

Xiao Xuxing frowned: "How do you know he likes sour food?"

You Xinyu's performance was too obvious, so she didn't even bother to act. The next few times she brought out the scenes were all to Bai Chao's liking.

Xiao Xuxing recalled that the first time he discovered Bai Chao liked sour food was because of the candy given by You Xinyu.

You Xinyu: "Hehe, Captain Xiao, there are so many things you don't know."

Xiao Xuxing: “…”

So they actually knew each other before?

“You used to…”

"Hahaha, Captain Xiao, this is a secret between me and Brother Qingzhi~ I won't tell you even if you ask~"

Bai Chao, who was sitting between the two and eating silently, raised his head and said, "Xiao Xuxing, I didn't know Miss You before."

You Xinyu covered her heart and said, "Huh? Brother Qingzhi, why are you trying to sabotage me?"

Bai Chao hummed: "But I really don't know you."

You Xinyu spread her hands and said, "Brother Qingzhi, you just don't remember it, it's okay for me to remember it~"

“……” Xiao Xuxing glanced at You Xinyu.

in the afternoon.

After resting, Bai Chao continued to work in the laboratory.

Xiao Xuxing found You Xinyu and asked in a deep voice, "Did you and Qingzhi really know each other before?"

Seeing Xiao Xuxing's serious expression, You Xinyu didn't hide it anymore: "Yes, and I knew him earlier than you did."

"..."

Xiao Xuxing continued to ask: "How early?"

You Xinyu touched her chin and said, "That's too early."

How old was she then?

You Xinyu herself couldn't remember clearly.

Her memory of the past is very vague, and it is not easy for her to remember that she had a little brother.

You Xinyu thought for a moment and suddenly pointed to a small bush in the distance.

"Well...we were probably only that tall then."

Xiao Xuxing was stunned: "You knew each other when you were so young?"

"Yes, the children living in the orphanage are not that old."

"…Orphanage?"

"Yes, Rainbow Welfare Home."

You Xinyu clapped her hands and said, "I remember when your search and rescue team first took me to the shelter, you also conducted a population survey on me, right?"

The shelter will not accept people of unknown origin, so a basic background check will be conducted on every person rescued.

"Ah."

Xiao Xuxing knew that You Xinyu was an orphan, but there were many people in the shelter who had also lost their families because of the disaster at the beginning of the apocalypse.

That was a natural disaster, unlike the zombie virus disaster, the dead people had no chance to live again.

Losing a loved one seems to have become a common occurrence in the last days.

Family reunion is the rarest thing.

Therefore, Xiao Xuxing did not pay special attention to how You Xinyu became an orphan.

You Xinyu scratched her head: "We were really young at that time, and the orphanage should no longer exist."

"..."

Xiao Xuxing murmured: "He is an orphan..."

He never believed that the priest was Bai Chao's biological father.

But when they first met, Bai Chao kept calling the priest "father", and there was nothing unnatural about it, as if he really treated the priest as his father.

"..." Xiao Xuxing frowned and asked, "But why did Qingzhi say he didn't know you?"

This person wouldn't lie, and it seemed like he really didn't know You Xinyu before.

"Ah this..."

You Xinyu hesitated for a long time, and finally fell silent.

"..."

In silence, they all seemed to accept a truth.

Why can't I remember my past? Maybe all the reasons can be attributed to Anleyuan.

"..."

Xiao Xuxing didn't know how Bai Chao had been spending these years in Anleyuan.

If Bai Chao was just a child adopted by the priest, how could he be raised well...

evening.

Xiao Xuxing took Bai Chao home.

Bai Chao looked at Xiao Xuxing who was holding his hand.

"Xiao Xuxing?"

Xiao Xuxing said softly: "Well, what's wrong?"

"..." Bai Chao narrowed his eyes, "What's wrong with you?"

The man became much quieter along the way. Did something happen in the afternoon, or did he hear something?

Xiao Xuxing was silent for a moment before he spoke: "...Qingzhi, why do you like cleanliness so much?"

Bai Chao: “…”

What is the problem?

"Why did you develop a mysophobic personality in that place? Is it because..."

Was it because he was bullied, or because he was thrown into a dirty place, or...

Bai Chao saw that Xiao Xuxing's face was getting more and more serious: "..."

What on earth is this man thinking about?

"Xiao Xuxing."

Xiao Xuxing was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses: "Qingzhi?"

There was a hint of grievance in Bai Chao's voice: "Are you complaining that I use too much water?"

Xiao Xuxing: “…”

Bai Chao does use a lot of water every day.

The shelter allocated a limited amount of water to each person. Even if Xiao Xuxing's share was the highest-end one, Bai Chao would use up the water supply in a few days.

So every time Xiao Xuxing would use his water-related abilities to fill up the water tank so that Bai Chao would have enough for every day.

Bai Chao's voice became increasingly quiet: "I have saved up some contribution points, which I can use to pay the water bill..."

"..."

Xiao Xuxing hugged Bai Chao tightly.

"I'm sorry babe, that's not what I meant."

“Shouldn’t I be clean?”

"Of course, of course. My home should be clean."

"I will save water for you in the future..."

"No, Qingzhi, you can use as much water as you want."

Xiao Xuxing hugged him tightly and sighed heavily: "Baby, I was wrong. I shouldn't have asked this question."

"..."

Bai Chao leaned in the man's arms and curved his eyes.

"Xiao Xuxing, I'm tired."

Xiao Xuxing kissed Bai Chao's hair.

"I'll carry you back."

Xiao Xuxing let go of Bai Chao and half-knelt in front of him: "Come up."

Bai Chao looked at the man's strong back and was suddenly stunned.

"..."

"Qingzhi?"

Bai Chao blinked and came back to his senses from his thoughts: "Yeah."

He looked at Xiao Xuxing.

Xiao Xuxing was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt today. The fabric of the shirt stuck to his back, and one could vaguely see the firm muscle lines on the man's back.

"..."

How come this man always keeps such a good figure?

Bai Chao slowly lay on Xiao Xuxing's back and wrapped his arms around the man's neck.

Xiao Xuxing felt the weight on his back, and put his hand through Bai Chao's knees, lifting him up steadily.

"Go home."

The breeze blew gently.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the gradually empty streets.

The two figures overlapped tightly and were stretched very long by the setting sun.

Bai Chao buried his cheek in the man's neck and closed his eyes peacefully.

……

After conducting experiments day after day, Zong Hui suddenly found that their research had reached a deadlock.

The energy material in the crystal core cannot be placed on ordinary people.

Ordinary people simply don't have the physical constitution to take on supernatural powers.

On the contrary, only those with special abilities can directly use the energy in the crystal core.

Zong Hui looked at the failed experiment report and said, "Can't ordinary people really do it?"

Physical fitness is really a gift.

Just like Xiao Xuxing's physique, he is born with the ability to inherit multiple supernatural powers, which ordinary people cannot match at all.

There are really too few talented people in this world.

Zong Hui scratched his hair dejectedly.

After countless failed experiments, he was a little lost.

The research on crystal cores seems to have really come to an end.

They can't change the physique of ordinary people yet...

However, Zong Hui felt a little unwilling if he could only study the crystal cores to make useful tools.

He felt that the crystal core must be useful, but he just didn't find the right method.

But Zong Hui really had no choice. He put down the data sheet and sighed to the sky.

"Ugh!"

"..."

Bai Chao, who was sitting next to him, glanced at Zong Hui, and suddenly raised his hand, accidentally knocking over the pile of documents on the desk, which scattered all over the floor.

Zong Hui was startled by the sound and quickly stood up, only to find Bai Chao was about to pick up the documents on the ground.

"Wait! Mr. Li, don't move. I'll pick it up."

Zong Hui didn't dare let Bai Chao do these chores. If Captain Xiao saw it, he would think he was bullying others.

He walked over and picked up the scattered documents, most of which were collected volunteer information forms.

Zong Hui saw this and began to feel melancholy again: "Hey, Mr. Li, do you think the energy of this crystal core really cannot be used by ordinary people?"

Zong Hui usually wouldn't express these feelings to Bai Chao, but he is indeed very distressed now.

And this matter is also related to the Bai Dynasty.

Since Bai Chao accepted the Double S mission, he must achieve the final result.

But their research seems to be unable to go any further, and Captain Xiao certainly doesn't want to see Bai Chao trapped in the laboratory for the rest of his life.

"No." Bai Chao said in a flat voice.

It was the answer Zong Hui expected.

Sure enough.

"Then there really are no ordinary people who can use supernatural powers..."

"No."

"……what?"

Zong Hui thought he had misheard: "What did you say?"

Bai Chao changed the word: "It can be used."

"No, didn't you just say you couldn't?"

Zong Hui was totally confused. The two sentences he just expressed should mean the same thing, right?

"Ah."

Bai Chao pointed to a document that had just been picked up on the table.

"he can."

Zong Hui took a look and saw that the photo was of Wang Xiaohai.

"why?"

Bai Chao gave him a strange look and said, "Because he drank the potion."

Zong Hui's brain seemed to go blank for a moment.

What…what? Potion?

Zong Hui quickly sorted out the logic from beginning to end in his mind. After he figured it out, he became even more stiff.

"...So, anyone who drinks your potion can receive the energy of the crystal core?"

"Ah."
