Chapter 1204
Xiaoxue quickly walked to Mumu's side and asked with a smile, "Did you just finish patrolling? Were you tired from training today?"
"I'm not tired. I switched shifts with my teammates, so I have an hour to spare," Mu Mu said with a smile. "Come on, it's shady over there, let's talk over there."
Xiaoxue nodded and naturally took Mumu's arm.
The two walked side by side toward the base of the fortress not far away, where the sun couldn't shine directly and it was cooler. They chatted and laughed along the way, and the atmosphere was particularly relaxed.
When they got there, the two found a clean rock and sat down.
After resting for a while, Mu Mu looked at Xiao Xue and asked, "By the way, Xiao Xue, has the result of that test you mentioned come out yet?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoxue's smile faded slightly. She gently shook her head, her tone somewhat helpless: "No, there are no results at all. Sister Lin Wei tested Xiaosheng's blood using many different methods, but she couldn't find anything abnormal. His blood is exactly the same as a normal person's."
As she spoke, she subconsciously lowered her voice, leaned closer to Mu Mu, and whispered, "Sister Lin Wei has been in a particularly bad mood these past few days, and she's been very disappointed, after all, she had such high hopes before."
Mu Mu frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, "Could it be that our base's technology is not advanced enough? Maybe Xiao Sheng does have something different about him, but we just can't detect it."
Xiaoxue nodded in agreement, saying, "I think so too. I heard from others that Xiaosheng is an exceptionally talented young man. Whether it's diving or swimming, he's far superior to the average person. His underwater breath-holding time is also far beyond that of ordinary people. Even the navy personnel trained at our base can't match him."
This was the first time Mu Mu had ever heard of it.
He subconsciously raised an eyebrow.
"So far, only the blood has been checked. If there are still no results, Sister Lin Wei may think of other methods, such as checking his body to see if his cardiopulmonary function is stronger than that of ordinary people, or if there are any other differences."
Mu Mu's gaze subtly darkened.
"Shouldn't we be able to do this kind of examination without permission?" Mu Mu said softly. "This kind of examination that involves a person's body must have the consent of the person and their family. Otherwise, we can't just do it."
“That’s for sure. No one dares to make such a decision on their own.” Xiaoxue nodded and then lowered her voice. “Sister Lin Wei was severely criticized before because she did research in private without reporting it to the captains. Now the captains won’t allow her to continue investigating Xiao Sheng’s affairs. She’s feeling very upset.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Mu's lips curled into a faint smile.
Xiaoxue seemed to suddenly remember something, looked up at Mumu, her eyes filled with hesitation and unease, and said hesitantly, "Mumu, everything I told you about the research institute is confidential. I haven't told anyone. You absolutely mustn't tell anyone."
"If others find out I've revealed the secret, I'll definitely be kicked out of the research institute, and I'll lose my job..."
Seeing her nervous expression, Mu Mu smiled gently, looked at her intently, and softly reassured her, "Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone. I'm just curious about this research, and I won't talk about these things or cause you any trouble."
Seeing how serious Mu Mu was and how sincere her eyes were, Xiao Xue's unease vanished instantly. She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again: "That's good."
Mu Mu smiled, said nothing, reached into her pocket and took out a worn-out medicine box, handing it to Xiao Xue: "Oh right, this is for you. It's the asthma medicine your dad needs. It should last for about half a month."
When Xiaoxue saw the medicine box, her eyes lit up instantly. She took it with a look of surprise and held it carefully in her hands, as if she were holding some kind of precious treasure.
She looked up at Mu Mu, her eyes filled with gratitude, her voice choked with emotion: "Mu Mu, thank you so much, thank you so much. This kind of asthma medicine is very rare in the base, very hard to find. I don't know how to thank you enough, I owe you so much."
"No need to be so polite, it's nothing." Mu Mu waved her hand with a smile, her tone gentle.
“My family doesn’t need this medicine, and it would be a waste for me to keep it. Give it to your dad; if it works, then it won’t be a waste. You don’t need to feel like you owe me anything!”
When Mu Mu spoke, his tone was exceptionally gentle and his expression was very sincere. In addition, he was handsome, tall and straight, and had the unique vigor of a young man, making him particularly attractive.
Looking at his gentle demeanor, Xiaoxue's cheeks flushed slightly, a faint blush spreading across her fair skin. Her heart also began to beat faster, pounding wildly.
She dared not look Mu Mu in the eye again, and quickly lowered her head, carefully stuffing the medicine box into her pocket, her fingers tightly gripping the pocket to hide her nervousness.
Mu Mu saw her actions and expressions, and her smile deepened.
He changed the subject to other lighthearted topics to ease her embarrassment.
Xiaoxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling even more that Mumu was gentle and reliable!
The two sat under the building, chatting, as a gentle breeze blew by, carrying with it a bit of the salty, fishy heat rising from the sea.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the building, dappling the two of them and creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Before I knew it, an hour had passed.
Mu Mu's watch beeped, reminding him that it was time to go back for his shift.
Mu Mu glanced at her watch, stood up, and said to Xiao Xue, "It's time. I should go back to patrol. Let's talk again next time."
Xiaoxue also stood up, nodded, and said with reluctance, "Okay, then be careful and patrol."
"Don't worry, I will." Mu Mu smiled and waved at her. "Then I'm off."
Xiaoxue waved to him, watching Mumu's figure gradually disappear into the distance until it vanished from sight, before slowly turning her gaze away.
Her hand unconsciously touched the medicine box in her pocket, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.
She stood there for a while before turning around and walking towards the research institute.
She was filled with joy, and even the path beneath her feet seemed much easier to walk on.
There are many people coming and going at the research institute, mostly researchers in white coats, as well as staff members who help with odd jobs.
We see each other all the time, so we're all familiar with each other.
Someone spotted Xiaoxue from afar, smiled, and waved, "Xiaoxue, you're back? I was just looking for you."
Xiaoxue immediately smiled and replied, "I just went out for a bit and came back."
Nodding and greeting each other along the way, we soon arrived at the assistant's office.
