Chapter 261 Asking for Leave to Visit Relatives

Lu Xin was silent, his expression seemed a little empty.

In fact, he had been able to feel that Teacher Xiaolu was afraid a long time ago, but he just didn't want to think about it.

But now that he saw the fear on her face, he still felt sad.

Even he himself couldn't tell whether he felt sad because he saw that Teacher Xiaolu was afraid of him, or because Teacher Xiaolu was obviously afraid, but still forced herself to come over to comfort him.

He didn't know why Teacher Xiaolu's fear of him was even greater than that of the dean?

This was the question he wanted to ask, but now...

A certain amount of data had popped up on the lens of her left eye, indicating that her mental fluctuations were very strong.

The mental level of ordinary people is only about 10 points. Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible to detect their own mental radiation, but when this pair of glasses has already reacted, it only shows one problem, that she is already in extremely strong emotional fluctuations. Perhaps, as long as a little more pressure is added, she will collapse directly because of this matter...

How can I force her again?

…

Lu Xin tried hard to put a smile on his face, although the smile might be very stiff.

"I know that I look fierce, and I am also scary when I lose my temper..."

He tried to make his voice sound calm and humorous: "Look, I scared you."

"Yes... yes."

Teacher Xiaolu also tried hard to cooperate with Lu Xin at this time.

But no matter how hard she tried, her smile could not return to the original state as if nothing had happened.

Two people who tried hard to make each other feel that they were fine, but were clumsy and embarrassed.

"Forget it..."

Lu Xin sighed softly, slowly stood up, and said to Teacher Xiaolu: "I have to go to work in the afternoon, I'll leave first."

"Just that you may have to wash the dishes yourself..."

"..."

Teacher Xiaolu seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she could only nod.

Picking up the bag, Lu Xin slowly left the office, feeling a kind of suppressed emotion in his heart.

Looking up slightly, he saw a group of little eyes holding rice bowls looking at him in the corridor and the classroom next to him.

The little kids had sharp ears and probably heard Teacher Xiaolu crying.

"Brother Dazhuang, what's wrong?"

The kid with a snotty nose asked the kid with a red nose secretly.

The kid with a red nose looked at Lu Xin deeply and said meaningfully, "We had a fight."

"Ah?"

The kid with a snotty nose was startled and showed a look of surprise: "Then do I have a chance?"

"You don't."

The kid with a red nose looked at him and said, "You can't even afford candy."

Lu Xin walked through the group of whispering and curious eyes, and slowly went downstairs. When he reached the corner of the third floor, he saw a small table in front of the security guard, with a plate of shredded potatoes and a salted duck egg on the table, and his small wine cup in his hand.

He drank slowly, without looking up, as if he was not talking to Lu Xin, and whispered:

"Don't get me wrong, she's not afraid of you."

"..."

Lu Xin looked back at the old man, nodded, and continued to go downstairs.

Walking on the street, with pale sunlight pouring down from above, Lu Xin felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

He went to the guard hall first, took out the motorcycle he had stored there, rode all the way, and wandered aimlessly on the street.

After all, motorcycles burn oil, so he rarely has the luxury of driving around. But today is different. For a while, he didn't even want to save money anymore. However, he quickly stopped in a square...

...After all, motorcycles burn oil.

He sat on a bench in the square and slowly smoked a cigarette.

On a bench not far away, there was a couple who looked very intimate, sweet as if they were stuck together.

The boy hid a rose in his bag behind him, as if he was preparing to perform a magic trick.

Lu Xin looked at them and felt a little envious.

But he soon stopped being envious because he saw a third person between the two.

That was the younger sister, who was squatting on the back of the chair and looking at the two people.

Soon her eyes lit up and she tore off the other person's rose petals with a sly smile.

"Da Da Da Dang..."

The boy swung his arms exaggeratedly and stabbed a bare rod into the girl's face.

He was stunned, and the girl was also stunned for a moment.

Then, one of them got up and left angrily, and the other hurriedly chased after him, explaining non-stop.

Lu Xin's mood suddenly improved a lot.

…

"Sister, I didn't get the answer I wanted."

When his sister came to squat beside him, Lu Xin exhaled a thick puff of smoke and whispered: "Actually, when I came to ask Teacher Xiaolu, the answer I wanted most was for her to tell me that the dean was actually a very good person, and those things were just my wild imagination, but in the end, I didn't get the best answer, nor did I get a generally bad answer. I got the worst answer..."

"So she was so... scared."

The sister hugged Lu Xin's arm, rubbed her little head against it, and said, "I'm not afraid of you."

Lu Xin smiled and didn't expose his sister.

"Do you want to go out and play again?"

After a long pause, Lu Xin suddenly smiled and asked his sister.

The sister was stunned for a moment, tilting her head to look at him in confusion.

Lu Xin looked up and looked outside the satellite city wall, saying, "There are still people alive in the orphanage, isn't that a good thing?"

"And the information says that even the old director may be alive..."

"I do have a lot of questions in my mind. I want to know what happened back then, and whether all the people who should die are dead... Of course, if not all of them are dead, I don't mind letting them experience what they should experience again..."

"..."

When he said this, his face was very calm, as if he was narrating a trivial matter.

But his sister, who was holding Lu Xin's arm, looked up at Lu Xin's expression vigilantly, without blinking.

Lu Xin was silent for a moment, as if he felt that he was not in a good state.

After a while, he smiled again, very kindly, and said: "In short, I am actually very happy now. The orphanage was like a big family, so everyone in the orphanage is our family. It would have been fine if I didn't know it before, but now that I know there are still people alive in this family, how can I not go to see if he is doing well?"

"As for these questions in my heart..."

He smiled brightly: "When I greet him in person, he should be happy to tell me, right?"

"..."

Listening to his words, the sister's eyes gradually brightened.

She suddenly hugged Lu Xin's neck tightly and said: "Brother, brother, do you know?"

"In fact, we have been waiting for you to make this decision for a long time..."

"..."

Listening to his sister's words, Lu Xin finally laughed happily.

Looking up, he saw his mother nodding and smiling at him in a high-end restaurant on the second floor next to the square.

Even his shadow beside the bench seemed to have some abnormal twisting.

A deep laugh sounded.

…

To do something big that requires going out, it is reasonable to hold a family meeting to discuss it, but after listening to his sister's words at this time, he knew that this time he didn't even need to wait for a family meeting, and the decision could be finalized.

To do this, the first step is of course: ask for leave.

Lu Xin took out his satellite phone from his bag and called Chen Jing.

Chen Jing answered quickly and calmly: "What's the matter?"

Lu Xin was in a good mood and greeted with a smile: "Team leader, good afternoon."

"... Yeah."

Chen Jing was silent for a while, her voice became gentler, and then said: "What's the matter?"

"This..."

Lu Xin guessed in his heart whether she was actually busy now, but as soon as she saw his phone, she immediately stopped all the work at hand to listen to what he wanted to say. He felt a little embarrassed in his heart, and he was even more embarrassed because of what he wanted to say. He quickly made a mental note and said, "Well, I'm calling to... ask for leave."

"Ask for leave?"

Chen Jing was a little surprised: "Aren't you on a routine leave after the mission?"

"Yes, yes."

Lu Xin had to think seriously again and explained: "But these few days should not be enough, I want to... ask for a few more days."

Chen Jing seemed to frown and said, "How many days?"

"... About."

This question made Lu Xin a little difficult to answer, so he had to say, "It's hard to say now."

Chen Jing paused and said, "Why are you asking for leave?"

"This..."

Lu Xin thought for a while and said, "Private matter."

Hearing his brief answer, Chen Jing's voice slowed down a little, and after a while, he said:

"You made a great contribution in helping Qinggang resist the attack from the Sea Country. According to the contribution points, you can be promoted to Qinggang's fourth-level special talent no matter what. Qinggang's fourth-level special talents can already enjoy Qinggang's special care, so even if it is a private matter, you can make a request, and the Special Qing Department will help you as much as possible."

"I'm afraid that won't work."

Lu Xin sighed softly and said, "Because of this private matter, I need to go out of the city to handle it."

Chen Jing was a little surprised: "Where to go?"

Lu Xin thought for a while and said, "Central City."

"Central City..."

There was a moment of commotion and panic on Chen Jing's side, and it seemed that many people made sounds of surprise.

This surprised Lu Xin: There are so many people over there?

After a while, Chen Jing's voice became stable again: "Can you tell us why you went to the central city?"

"This... is not very convenient."

Lu Xin was embarrassed to refuse the leader, so he had to try: "After all, it's my personal matter, can you not tell me?"

"Of course, I shouldn't have asked."

Chen Jing reacted quickly, said apologetically, and then returned to a calm working mode, saying:

"If you ask for leave, it can be approved in theory."

"However, you haven't submitted the task report this time, and the corresponding changes after the second stage have not been accurately recorded. In addition, you are now a de facto fourth-level special talent. According to regulations, no matter where you want to go or what you want to do, you should submit a paper application, and the Special Cleanup Department will provide you with certain security and information support."

"Ah this..."

Lu Xin felt that what the leader said made sense, and felt that he made this call too abruptly.

After a while, he whispered, "Then I'll go back and write a report on this mission, and then... apply for leaving the city?"

"Okay."

Chen Jing smiled and said, "In the application materials for leaving the city, you need to tell roughly how far you need to go, when you need to leave the city, and what supplies you need to apply for, because there are still many places outside the wall in chaos. For you who have only had a short experience of leaving the city, it is still very dangerous, so it is best to have someone to help you make a plan, or even train you."

"Of course, this will also help us arrange someone to replace your work in Satellite City No. 2."

"..."

After saying all this in one breath, Chen Jing pondered for a moment:

"By the way, in addition to what I'm saying now, do you need to arrange a driver for you in advance?"

She smiled and said, "After all, the person who was temporarily arranged last time had a lot of complaints after returning, so this time..."

"...we can notify him in advance."
