Embers Ad Infinitum

"It's only half past seven!" Long Yuehong put down the phone and said through gritted teeth.

He can't wait to rush back to the 495th floor now and beat Shang Jian Yao, but unfortunately he can't beat him.

"Just in time to go to the cafeteria for breakfast." Bai Chen had experienced this kind of thing that forced him to get up early.

Of course, when she was forced to get up early, she meant that she was scheduled to get up at dawn, but had to move in the middle of the night.

"No more sleep?" Long Yuehong asked with concern.

There is still an hour and a half until nine o'clock, and I can still sleep in the cage.

Bai Chen shook his head:

"No, I'm fully awake already..."

Long Yuehong couldn't help but look back and glanced at the phone on the table:

"I can finally feel the mixed love-hate feelings of the protagonists in those old world entertainment materials about the phone."

He pressed his cold right palm to his face, forcing himself to calm down in this way.

After breakfast, after dawdling for a while, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen went out at 9:30, carrying pre-bought fabrics, biscuits, and fruits, and took the elevator to the 495th floor.

Today is Sunday. There are many employees who are active in the streets and activity centers. Most of them know Long Yuehong. When they see him holding Bai Chen's hand, they all show meaningful smiles and warm Say hello.

Long Yuehong's waist was straight, trying her best not to appear cramped and uneasy.

He responded generously to those neighbors, and took Bai Chen all the way to No. 11, Area C.

Gu Hong opened the door early, and sent Long Aihong and Long Zhigu to hang out in the corridor outside, always keeping an eye out for Jiao Ke.

"Come on here!" Long Aihong shouted into the room, then quickly greeted Long Yuehong and Bai Chen, and smiled sweetly, "Hello, sister-in-law!"

On the one hand, she is happy for her brother, and she is a little crazy. On the other hand, she heard from her brother that in the future, her sister-in-law will have a high rank and will save a lot of contribution points. If she can have a good relationship with her, won't she have another Snack source?

"Hello." Bai Chen recalled Jiang Baimian's teaching, so that the smile on his face should not be too rigid.

At this time, Gu Hong had already walked out of the room and greeted warmly:

"Come in, why did you start chatting at the door?"

Haven't had time to talk yet, okay? Hypocritical woman. Long Ai's belly slandered her mother.

Bai Chen had rehearsed the process of meeting the parents in his mind before, and immediately nodded and said:

"Hello Auntie."

You can't change your name if you haven't registered yet.

Gu Hong swept Bai Chen's face and was quite satisfied, but looking at her height, she felt a little regretful.

The smile on her face remained the same:

"Come in, come in."

Long Yuehong hurriedly took Bai Chen's hand, carried the gift he bought, and walked into the room.

He handed it to Gu Hong:

"Mom, this is given to you by Xiaobai."

"Oh, you're too polite, you don't need to buy these!" Gu Hong smiled and handed the gift to Long Dayong.

Bai Chen suddenly had a sense of hallucination.

This is exactly the same scenario the team leader used as an example.

The next development was similar to what Bai Chen expected. Everyone sat down with smiles and chatted about how she and Long Yuehong knew each other, and whether they had suffered a lot on the dust.

Bai Chen answered one by one, and it wasn't a sensitive matter anyway.

After chatting like this until it was almost lunch, Gu Hong finally stood up and said with a smile:

"Let's chat while eating, we can't go hungry."

"Okay, Auntie." Bai Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Baimian said that when the elders met their parents for the first time, if they were satisfied, they would not try things that could easily lead to disagreement, but would only talk about things that were irrelevant and short-sighted by the parents.

Therefore, Bai Chen initially thought that his performance just now was barely qualified, and that Long Yuehong's parents, brothers and sisters had a good impression of him.

Listen more and talk less, praise more and complain less, laugh more and move less, that’s all.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Gu Hong went to help Long Dayong serve the food and Long Yuehong was embarrassed to be idle, Long Aihong finally found the opportunity, got close to Bai Chen, and asked in a low voice:

"Sister-in-law, why do you like my brother?"

"He's pretty good, why can't you like him?" Bai Chen told the truth.

Long Aihong asked with a smile:

"I'm asking, how did you develop feelings for each other?"

Bai Chen recalled:

"Staying together every day, often living with each other, er, often facing danger together, and he has shown great courage, attached great importance to you, and it is normal to have feelings."

"That's it... It's so romantic!" Long Aihong said with a longing look on her face when she remembered some clips of entertainment materials in the old world.

Bai Chen didn't attack the little girl. She didn't dare to say the word "life and death" just now, for fear of irritating Long Yuehong's family.

She just smiled and reminded:

"You should be less likely to be assigned to the security department."

"Yeah..." Long Aihong sighed deeply.

She turned to look at Bai Chen and said with bright eyes:

"Sister-in-law, tell me some adventures, my brother rarely mentions it."

"If there is a chance back," Bai Chen didn't refuse.

Long Aihong immediately raised her eyebrows and smiled:

"Okay okay.

"Sister-in-law, you are so nice!"

Bai Chen, who was treated like this, suddenly felt a sense of beginning to integrate into the family.

Outside Room 14, corresponding to the end of the corridor, a figure in blue clothes surreptitiously watched Long Yuehong's house.

This is business see Yao.

"What are you doing?" Suddenly someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind.

Shang Jianyao turned around and saw Jiang Baimian's familiar face.

"I thought it was the Inspector of Order." He was visibly relieved.

"What are you sneaking around for?" Jiang Baimian looked up and down this guy suspiciously.

Shang Jianyao quickly explained:

"Isn't this afraid of Xiaobai's stage fright, he didn't play for a while, okay?

"If something goes wrong, I'll rush over and guide Xiaohong's parents, brothers and sisters to ignore the unpleasant scene and do it all over again."

Jiang Baimian said angrily and hilariously:

"You really value your friends."

"Xiaohong and Xiaobai have not been easy these years." Shang Jianyao suddenly spoke earnestly.

He turned to ask Jiang Baimian:

"Why did you come here?"

Today is just to meet the parents in Bai Chen, not a wedding banquet.

Jiang Baimian laughed:

"You can care about Xiaohong and Xiaobai, but can't I?

"I'll come over to see how the effect is and if there is anything that needs to be smoothed out."

"You're late, it's over." Shang Jianyao pointed out.

Jiang Baimian grinded his teeth:

"The journey of life is always full of surprises."

"So when I walk, I get lost..." The honest Shang Jianyao was quickly pushed to the "ground" by other Shang Jianyao.

Jiang Baimian sighed slowly, crossed Shang Jianyao, and looked at Long Yuehong's house.

Listening to the faint laughter, she showed a relieved expression.

"Let's go, go to your room and have a look." Jiang Baimian retracted his gaze and said to Shang Jianyao.

"What are you going to do?" Shang Jianyao was terrified.

Jiang Bai gave this guy a blank look:

"Talk about what happened recently."

Shang Jianyao suddenly realized, and glanced left and right vigilantly:

"I'll go back first, you wait.

"Remember, No. 196, Block B."

It was like meeting a spy... Jiang Baimian didn't interrupt Shang Jianyao's playfulness, and watched him go to Area B on the same floor.

Anyway, what they are going to talk about is indeed quite confidential.

After waiting for a few minutes, Jiang Baimian stepped forward and headed to Area B calmly.

Not long after, she entered room 196 where Shang Jianyao lived, and looked at the place that was only six square meters.

Without commenting, she pulled the chair behind the desk by the window, sat down, and asked:

"What are your plans for the 'Rite of Life' Religion?"

The reason why Jiang Baimian took the opportunity to talk to Shang Jianyao about this was because he was worried that he would eventually have a hard time and make an irrational attempt.

Shang Jianyao's eyes lit up and said:

"I'm going to ask you for help."

"What help?" Jiang Baimian raised his vigilance.

Shang Jianyao, who was sitting beside the bed, said with bright eyes:

"If we haven't acted, will the person who affected Xiaobai and Xiaohong's dream be unable to hold back and let them have the same dream again, so as to convey more and more important information?"

"The possibility is not small." Jiang Baimian commented calmly.

Shang Jianyao laughed:

"We all know that it is impossible to tell who is who through human consciousness.

"If the people who were affected in the dream that day were not Xiaobai and Xiaohong, but you and I, would it be possible to reversely sense the target, catch him out, and interrogate him clearly about his purpose and the information related to the 'Rite of Life' sect authenticity?"

"Theoretically, yes." Jiang Baimian probably understood what Shang Jianyao's plan was.

Shang Jianyao said happily:

"We find an opportunity to disguise as Xiaobai and Xiaohong, live in Xiaobai's house, and wait to be affected by the dream.

"This can be done during work hours and not easily detected."

"But it's impossible to pretend every day, we can't know when the other party will come to affect the dream." Jiang Baimian poured cold water.

Shang Jianyao thought about it carefully and was a little dejected.

Jiang Baimian sneered:

"Planning cannot depend on coincidence and luck.

"The success rate of your plan might not be as high as directly asking Mei Shou'an and Minister Xi Yu if they are members of the 'Rite of Life' sect..."

As he was talking, Jiang Baimian suddenly fell silent.

Shang Jianyao seemed to be reminded, slammed his right fist and left palm and said:

"Yes, you can ask directly!"

His expression gradually became grim:

"It's too risky and abrupt to find Director Su, but we have enough and reasonable reasons to find Mei Shou'an and Minister Xi Yu.

"Find Mei Shou'an with the promised physical examination, and find Minister Yu for reporting Xiaobai and Xiaohong's dreams. At that time, hide the 'persuasion' in the conversation and get the most real answer."

"What if they have no problem? You can't maintain the effect of 'mind implantation' all the time." Jiang Baimian asked in a deep voice.

Shang Jianyao smiled frankly:

"If they are really okay, we think too much and are used by others, then I will remove the 'thinking implant' and accept the corresponding punishment.

"Even if I was slapped to the end and locked up for education, I have no complaints."
