Hello, Arknights

Chapter 263 Family; Photo Album

"...Uncle...Grandpa, let's go play..."

Looking up at the little cutie who was sitting quietly on the sofa in the office but staring at him eagerly, Wei Yanwu looked at his remaining workload and fell into deep thought.

"Yanwu, you almost didn't finish your work yesterday." Wei Wenyue, who was sitting on the other side and supervising the two of them, showed a dangerous smile, "Also, it's not a good thing to always pamper Vidaxia."

"No way... Don't we have to take good care of Proton?" Wei Yanwu's voice was not very confident. "In order to avoid more trouble, we still have to take care of Proton's mood as much as possible..."

"Don't come on, I'll take her there today."

"That won't work. The Reunion's current international position is quite delicate. For Lungmen, which is trying to find a new model for coexistence with the infected, this contact is very important. The engineers sent there are also valuable talents. Vidaxia must stay in a safe place."

"Yes, then have you forgotten Alina who is also a proton?" Wei Wenyue rubbed Vidaxia's head and glanced at an old dragon who was feeling very guilty.

Alina was not restricted from traveling in Longmen. After making sure that the child was handed over to Wei Yanwu during the day, she went to experience the culture of Longmen. At night, she was also responsible for taking care of Vidaxia to sleep.

"Well, the Shadow Guard is more suitable than me to protect important units."

"What about Vidaxia?" Wei Wenyue picked up the "key proton" and was determined to make Wei Yanwu admit his true thoughts in person.

“But they are not good at raising children.”

"You're not good at it either! Don't think that secretly watching some quick lessons on getting along with young children at night will make you suitable." Wei Wenyue glared at him.

A team of shadow guards lurking somewhere.

"Team leader, are you really not good at taking care of children?"

"...Before my name was removed, no, even earlier, before I joined this group, I raised all three of my children."

……

"...Okay, okay, I admit that Huijie and Tallulah did want to make amends to some extent...but Wenyue, you know I wouldn't make a mistake in who I owe." The red dragon lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, then looked up again at Longmen who was gradually waking up from the sunlight, and the weather-beaten dragon's eyes narrowed slightly with some unspeakable emotions.

"It's great that you understand. Then you should work hard today, and leave little Vidaxia to me. Really, such a young child, who could only call mom when she came, already knows how to treat her well and calls her uncle." As Wei Yanwu's expression turned from lost to happy, Wei Wenyue rolled her eyes at him, then gently hugged the child and stood up.

Due to many external reasons, she and Wei Yanwu had never had children. Now that Vidaxia appeared unexpectedly, she was very happy as it filled a regret.

"Uncle, aunt..."

Wei Wenyue was a little jealous: "Look, I was planning to say hello to you before I left——"

"Aunt... smile and go play." Vidaxia raised her tail and held the tip of the tail without flame in her hand. She looked at Wei Wenyue with her watery eyes, which was very adorable.

Wei Wenyue's heart almost melted.

"Look, the kids like you so much. Go ahead, your uncle will come take you out to play when he's done with his work."

"Ahem, one last thing... How long are you going to keep Xiaota's situation a secret from Xiao Chen?" Wei Wenyue pinched Vidashiya's face, making the child giggle like wind chimes, and then she said seriously.

"This matter is quite delicate... and difficult to handle. It's not a matter of principle, but I feel that for Huijie, this fact may be a bit shocking to her."

"What should we do then? Won't the impact be even greater when little Vidaxia grows up a little bit?" Thinking about how she and Wei Yanwu both took a long time to calm down after learning the fact, Wei Wenyue felt that her husband's concerns were not unfounded.

"Well, at least... let's wait until Huijie can find a boyfriend, then we can talk about it." Finally, Wei Yanwu gave a plan that was not very reliable.

"...There's nothing I can do... But speaking of it, Vidaxia's father, do you have any idea?"

"... One thing, combined with the clues from Tallulah, it should be related to an organization called the Scepter and the Institute..." Wei Yanwu's eyes became sharp, "Vidashia was not born by Tallulah... She is the product of a genetic experiment. In terms of blood relationship, the mother is indeed Tallulah, but there is no clue about the father's information."

"And... throughout this whole time, our people have never really come into contact with this organization - they are very dangerous."

"…Is it possible that Vidaxia has no father?" Wei Wenyue frowned slightly. She had also heard about some experiments that disregarded human ethics.

"There's no flame on the tip of her tail, and... I always feel like I've seen her somewhere before... Of course, intuition doesn't count."

Both of them sighed slightly and ended the topic tacitly.

Vidaxia yawned slightly and felt sleepy due to boredom.

"Come to think of it, today should be the day Jiang Sa and the others are coming back, right? That means Alina and Vidaxia will also be leaving in the next two days, right?"

"It really is……"

After Wei Wenyue left, a report was presented to Wei Yanwu.

"...That kid is back?" Wei Yanwu looked a little strange. There was a reason why he quickly contacted Rhodes Island and made a long-distance call to Ling Dengxian.

After thinking about it, he finally did not take any deliberate action. Since he came with the people from Rhodes Island, it must be the trade cooperation mentioned before, and they would definitely come to him on their own initiative.

What's more, if this kid still cared about that phone call, he would definitely come to find me.

This is the case when you are young.

Thinking of the sword light that day, Wei Yanwu's mouth corners unconsciously raised.

"Yeah, remember we said that we would let him try the Sky Claw at some point..."

"Oh, yes. When Vidaxia is older, talk to Tallulah and teach her about Chi Xiao. After all, Tallulah saw it back then, so it doesn't necessarily mean that I taught her."

Suddenly thinking of something important, he pondered for a moment, sighed, "Young people are prone to trouble," and picked up the communication terminal:

"Master Li, the young man you care about is back."

"However, I know a little bit about his background. Does that shield really resonate with him?"

Penguin Logistics.

Not sure if it was because he cared too much, Ling Dengxian wanted to talk to Texas alone. However, when they were really alone, he felt that... there was nothing to ask.

Of course, perhaps the instinctive feeling of being a little overwhelmed sitting on a strange bed was one of the reasons why I didn't want to ask those questions.

"The room is a little small, but your luggage can still fit in it." Texas didn't signal him to be casual, but the two of them still got along naturally.

Because on the snowfield, they had long been accustomed to each other.

"Your room is smaller than I thought." Ling Dengxian struggled for a moment about the accommodation allocation, but after thinking about it, he felt that he and Texas should still have some tacit understanding. Sure enough, Texas took out a quilt and blanket from the small closet and threw them to him.

"It doesn't need to be that big, but it's actually not small. There are just a lot of things in it." In response to Ling Dengxian's thoughts, Rupert took out a pocky, smoked one himself, and then handed it to him. She looked at her room. There were many photos with her companions, but she only picked her favorite one and hung it on the wall.

"There are many things that the Angels gave me. When I bought them, I told them that I probably wouldn't use them, but I couldn't resist them." Looking at the dust on her body, Texas reached out to untie her hairband, letting her ponytail loosen. She quickly took off her coat, picked up a set of clothes from the closet, and looked at Ling Dengxian. "I'm going to take a shower. If you're bored, you can look at the photo album under my pillow."

"What is it?" Ling Dengxian asked curiously.

"My whole life." After saying that, the girl left the room and closed the door.

Ling Dengxian was silent for a long time, staring at the spotless white pillow. The room did not have the faint fragrance of a girl's room described in novels, but it had the scent of a girl that he was very familiar with.

Maybe it’s not chemical pheromones, but traces left by words and actions.

He just... walked in?

Holding the quilt and blanket that Texas threw to him, Ling Dengxian carefully made his bed on the floor.

Soon, he sat down on the bed and carefully opened the photo album.

Texas understands his relationships, and he wants to explore her past, and at the same time, he knows what that means.

The pages of the album span time, and the cry of the heart is silent and moving.

The first page shows a photo of a girl with blue-black hair and a slightly immature look, sitting in an elegantly decorated hall with a tired look, glancing towards the camera with a listless look.

In the next photo, he saw a white figure. Well, this guy also carved several rows of "blessings" on the wall next to his bed.

And he must have eaten snacks, rolled around in his bed, put on bandages, and opened the window.
