The third floor was very quiet, with people wearing the uniform coats of the Alliance Police walking by from time to time. Adrian Lee guessed that this floor should be a rest area for the police who came for the meeting.
313 In the penultimate coffee shop near the corridor and the ground floor, before Adrian Lee entered the door, he went to the coffee shop to buy a simple meal and a bottle of hot milk, intending to have a good rest after eating.
He put the card against the door, and after two beeps, he entered.
The room was dark. Adrian Lee closed the door, put his things on the cabinet at the door, and reached out to plug in the power supply.
As he stretched out his hand, he suddenly realized something was wrong - he bumped into a file bag on the locker, and taking a step forward, he stepped on a pair of disposable wool slippers placed cluttered at the door.
Someone is here, has he entered the wrong room?
The moment this thought flashed through his mind, Adrian Lee's wrist, which was stretched out to turn on the light, was grabbed by someone. Startled, he turned around and hit the person who emerged from the darkness with his elbow, but missed.
The man appeared out of nowhere, and blocked his attack with his other hand and dragged him in, carrying him like a little rabbit. Then Adrian Lee heard a familiar laugh - a low, magnetic voice: "You still know how to hit people, huh?"
"Are you hiding from me? Why are you hiding from me? Is working overtime fun, Adrian Lee, huh?"
"Speak, or I'll kill you."
Nathan Carter's voice was very gentle, but his eyes made people's scalp tingle.
Adrian Lee was about to cry.
He didn't expect to meet Nathan Carter here - he had been hiding for so long, and in order not to go home, he even booked a room at school to rest. Unexpectedly, he ran into Nathan Carter himself!
Now no matter what he said, he couldn't explain himself. The way Nathan Carter looked at him was as if she wanted to eat him alive without any expression.
...
Adrian Lee fell asleep several times, but was woken up again, tears streaming down his face.
After Nathan Carter carried him to clean up, Adrian Lee still remembered dazedly sending a message to Wang Pinyuan to ask for leave. He had a big class tomorrow afternoon, and he didn't know if he could catch up by then, so he asked for leave first.
Nathan Carter found it funny to see him lying on the bed and asking for leave seriously, so he pulled him into his arms and hugged him.
Seeing that Adrian Lee ignored him, he gently coaxed him: "Why are you crying? You are an adult now."
Adrian Lee still ignored him and got out of bed to grab the rice and milk he had bought. Although the simple meal was wrapped in aluminum foil for insulation, the rice inside had already gone cold after such a long time.
Nathan Carter saw him pitifully picking at the cold beef rice, so he got out of bed, carried him back, patted Adrian Lee on the back and said, "Put on your clothes and go out to eat, and come back to sleep after you finish eating."
Adrian Lee's voice was nasal and innocent: "I don't have any change of clothes."
He was a bit of a germaphobe, and even in winter, he would change his clothes every day. He had originally planned to sleep until seven o'clock tomorrow morning and then go home to take a shower and change clothes. But now that Nathan Carter had come over and made such a fuss, his clothes were soiled - mainly his undershirt, and he couldn't wear them out anymore.
Nathan Carter directly threw his shirt to him: "Put it on first, and ask Ethan Brooks to deliver the clothes tomorrow morning."
The meeting lasted for four days, and Nathan Carter usually brought two or three sets of clothes with him in case he needed to go out on a mission. Nathan Carter got out of bed and took out some clothes for Adrian Lee to wear. They were a size too big, but in the autumn season, they didn't look out of place.
Adrian Lee was only half a head shorter than Nathan Carter. When Nathan Carter threw the coat to him, he picked it up very seriously, sniffed it, and looked at it carefully, as if he was a little disgusted.
There was no other smell but the faint minty scent on Nathan Carter's body.
Nathan Carter endured it: "I didn't wear it out. I washed and dried it at noon and sent it to you." Only then did Adrian Lee put on the coat.
The two went downstairs and didn't walk far before eating at the Student Food City of Xingda. It was already two or three in the morning, and they randomly found a Chaoshan beef hotpot restaurant. The light and fresh flavor warmed their stomachs in the cold autumn night.
Adrian Lee felt sleepy while eating. Nathan Carter slowly drank the beef offal soup provided by the store. He saw that Adrian Lee could hardly open his eyes. He looked pale and haggard in the hot air.
Adrian Lee fell asleep for a while with his chin in his hands. Nathan Carter was waiting at his seat and took out his mobile phone to read the report.
It was not until dawn when the boss seemed to be closing the shop that Adrian Lee woke up drowsily and opened his eyes.
Nathan Carter said: "The wallet is in your pocket."
Adrian Lee then remembered that he was wearing his clothes. He reached out and touched it, and found Nathan Carter's ID card - it was black with seven words on it.
The boss smiled when he saw the card: "It turns out that it is a senior official who is here for a meeting. The school has issued a notice saying that there is no charge for attending the meeting."
Adrian Lee was stunned for a moment, looked at the card again, and then put it back into his wallet.
"What's wrong?" Nathan Carter asked.
"Don't you run a company? Why did you join the army?" Adrian Lee was a little confused.
When he first met Nathan Carter, Nathan Carter was the first party of the project team. After that, Ethan Brooks called Nathan Carter in front of him, mixing "boss" and "young master". He always took it for granted that Nathan Carter should be a company owner.
"It was the boss who made a mistake. The Seventh Department is not a military organization, but a scientific research institution. It's also complicated to explain. I'm just running a company." Nathan Carter smiled and glanced at him, "But I was a soldier for two years and then I was discharged."
"Oh." Adrian Lee said.
Nathan Carter found that this guy actually knew nothing about his identity and background. However, Adrian Lee probably had no idea how to explain the Fu family to a nerdy good student like him. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have been complacent about being with someone with a backer.
In a sense, Adrian Lee can be said to be pure and unpretentious, and it seems that what he is looking for is really who he is.
Or maybe he had indeed neglected Adrian Lee too much in the past two years, so that Adrian Lee didn't even know his identity.
After returning to the room, Nathan Carter ordered: "Don't go home for the next four days. Come here and wait for me after get off work."
Adrian Lee looked at him.
Nathan Carter said: "What's wrong? Don't want to?"
Adrian Lee wanted to protest: "No one feeds the leader."
Nathan Carter: "Call Ethan Brooks and ask him to go feed her."
Adrian Lee: "I'm working overtime."
"If you work overtime again, I will go to your lab and punish you. Do you understand?" Nathan Carter stretched out his hand to pinch his chin, smiling, "If you listen, I will stop torturing you."
Adrian Lee remained silent.
Adrian Lee thought that he would be tormented again after returning, but Nathan Carter did not do that this time.
He lay down beside him and could feel Nathan Carter's reaction, but Nathan Carter just threw the quilt over him and wrapped him up, warning him in a low voice: "Stop wasting time." Then he stopped moving and let him be enveloped by deep sleepiness.
