Niven got up from his seat with loose eyes, the announcement in the carriage was playing the arrival announcement, Niven rubbed his eyes and stood up, picked up the package containing a few of his clothes, and left the carriage in the crowd. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It wasn't until he got out of the carriage that Niven was completely sober, and then his heart began to gradually get excited, looking at the brightly lit city outside the platform, a kind of excitement mixed with anticipation, and some fear, made his steps heavy, and finally ......
It's finally back!
It has been two months since he applied for a sub-base work report, and then he was transferred to the sub-base, and it has been two months since he left this safe, unfamiliar, but familiar island city, although the hovercar can indeed carry workers back to the island every day as the government said, but there are also a very small number of workers who ask to stay at the sub-base because of the type of work, and Niven, as one of the few engineers on the island, is also a member of the list of overnight personnel.
Of course, as a small number of overnight stayers, not to mention not being able to be with his family for a long time, in the dangerous situation of the sub-base for 24 hours, Niven received more than five times more wages and benefits than he had imagined at the beginning, and the entire sub-base basically did not use any money, so he basically transferred the money to his wife's credit card.
Standing in the elevator passage, Niven fell into some kind of memory, although it was only a memory of more than half a year ago, but it seemed to be the previous life, it was a memory before the Red Sea cataclysm, everything was so peaceful, everything was so quiet, he was a science dog, he put on glasses early, and inherited the essence of most science and engineering dogs, he was the kind of dull and boring object for girls, and he was not handsome, and there was no rich family, nor did he have any great ability characteristics, so he went from school to work, and there was no woman at all。
After a blind date, he finally found an ordinary woman of the same age, no, it should be an older woman with a slightly ugly appearance, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, the appearance was worse, but there would be nothing strange happening, and he got married with this mentality.
But there is always enough distance between reality and imagination, and after three years of marriage, when he inadvertently went home to get the engineering documents, he accidentally bumped into a naked man who ran out of the porter quickly, and his wife didn't know whether to laugh or breathe a sigh of relief......
After that, divorce, singleness, alone, occasional loneliness and loneliness, the usual cookie-cutter life ended at the time of the Red Sea Cataclysm, and many people he was familiar with, unfamiliar, known, and unknown died in the two cataclysms before and after, but he was lucky to survive, and met and saved a mother and daughter in the anomalous area of the second cataclysm.
said that it was a mother and daughter, but the woman was actually only twenty-four or five years old, and she was a beautiful woman whose appearance made him dare to secretly see it on weekdays, with an excellent temperament, and she talked to him I don't know how many streets, it was the kind of daughter raised by rich and noble people, but there was nothing rich or noble in the face of disaster, and now she was in trouble, this woman lived alone with her daughter, and her family had already died in the disaster.
In that anomalous area, Niven rescued the mother and daughter, and then led them to struggle for survival, and occasionally during breaks, he also heard the woman talk about her past...... is a somewhat cliché, and a somewhat old-fashioned story, a delicate girl who has just gone to college, because of the rebellious thoughts of youth, and because of the simple and ignorant life, she fell in love with a gangster in society, and after being cheated of money and sex, the whole gangster disappeared without a trace, leaving behind her big belly, and her angry parents, and then gave birth to a whole child, and the mother had just gone to college......
The truth after that, escaping, surviving, encountering the rescue army, was expelled by the super strong The abnormal effect on the body, but one of the woman's legs has mutated, plus a little girl needs to be fed, he doesn't know what kind of mood he had, and he accepted all this in the woman's eyes, whether it was living together, or handing in the salary after finding a job, or when the little girl cried and woke up at night, or the woman's repair medicine fee, every time, he silently took all this on the shoulders of a man......
Maybe I'm just a spare tire?
Maybe she just needs help temporarily?
Maybe she just wants to survive?
Niven is from an ordinary family, whether it is the people he comes into contact with, or his parents and elders, or the rumors in society, they all narrate the same words, that is, beautiful women are the poison of ordinary people, they are not people of his level can ask for it, he is not worthy of her, whether it is in terms of age, appearance, temperament, or future......
Then save people to the end......
It's just that...... Why did she look at him like that?
It's just that...... Why did she say that it was his responsibility to protect them?
It's just that...... Why did she knock on his door at night?
Charity, or coping?
Niven was also afraid of the mainland, and people who had experienced the anomalous area had an unexplained fear of the anomaly that was more terrible than death, but he still applied to come, and when asked if he would stay for the 24 hours, he also chose to confirm...... Was he really not afraid? No, he was scared, but he applied anyway, and really just wanted a lot of money?
No, he had very, very mixed feelings, wanting to give each other more time and at the same time wanting to get the final answer......
Whether it was after she healed her leg, got a better job with her high education and diploma, and then left with her daughter, or told him a word of divorce, or ...... When I came back, I saw another man, taller and more handsome, or a higher status, or a martial artist, internal force realm, internal qi realm?
He...... Not worthy of her......
In two months, everything can be distinguished...... It's just a life-saving grace, it's not a big deal, it's not ancient anymore, there's no need to make a personal promise, not to mention, there were similar ridicules on the Internet before, if the other party is rich and handsome, then it is natural to promise each other, if the other party is poor and ugly, then the next life will be tied to repay it......
This...... Not bad......
With fear, anticipation, excitement, or the ease of finally being able to be freed, Niven stepped down the elevator passage, took a deep breath, and walked out of the suspended station step by step, he barely had to look, instinctively looked up at a place outside the crowd, where he saw a beautiful tall woman with a bulging belly, holding the hand of a little girl, when she saw her, the woman's eyes seemed to have some moist reflections, and then she shook her hand vigorously at him, and the little girl shouted loudly with excitement.
Inexplicably, Niven's heart calmed down, and a strange feeling filled his heart that he had never felt before, and it seemed to be...... Happiness?
Outside the station, the three of them went home not far away, both of them were silent and did not speak, only the little girl kept chirping and talking about the anecdotes of this time, and soon, the three walked back to their home, and as soon as they entered the house, the woman asked the little girl to take a bath, and in the little girl's unwilling mood, she forcibly drove it to the bathroom.
(So...... Is it coming?
Niven sat silently on the sofa, watching the woman come from the bathroom to the living room, the two were silent for a while, but before the embarrassing atmosphere broke out, the woman suddenly said: "I applied for ......"
(Divorce...... Apply?)
Niven nodded, his throat was itchy, he scratched his neck, it seemed that there was some strange heaviness that made him speechless, he looked at the woman, it was still so beautiful, he immediately laughed and said, "Hmm...... Got it, then I'm ......"
"Sub-base jobs, as well as front-line staff family accompaniment. The woman didn't wait for Niven to finish, she said it directly.
Niven looked at the woman incomprehensibly, and for a moment he didn't know what he had heard.
The woman suddenly walked up to Niven, there seemed to be tears in her eyes, or something else, she looked at Niven and said seriously: "Xue's name has been changed to the city hall, Nixue, it's actually quite good, and she will only reach the age of elementary school next year...... Let's go together, go to the sub-base, we ...... as a family."
“...... One, a ......"
"Well, we're family!"
The woman suddenly kissed Niven's mouth, and when the kiss was deep, she suddenly bit his lip hard, and finally, the woman's tears welled up......
poured into Niven's heart......
