Chapter 1039 Changes

"This is the first time we meet. I am Todo Gin. Thank you for your sponsorship this time."

Standing in front of Duanmuhuai was a long-haired woman with a capable manner and the leader of this Antarctic observation team. Since Duanmu Huai decided to sponsor, he must meet with the leader of the other party.

However, it is quite rare for a detection team to have both the captain and deputy captain female.

"No need to say polite words."

Duanmu Huai waved his hand.

"I already know your situation and the procedures have been completed, but I have a few conditions that you must abide by. Do you understand?"

"Yes... what are the conditions?"

"I will pay for your expenses, so you can do whatever you want. But I will bring another team of people. Of course, they will not conflict with your work. But I ask you to leave us alone."

"Don't worry...everyone?"

"Yes, I know the dangers of scientific research in Antarctica, but I want to explain here in advance that the reason why I sponsor you to go to Antarctica is because we also have things that we need to go to Antarctica to do. As for what it is, you don't need to Yes, you just need to know that our journey together only ends at the Antarctic Observatory. After that, no matter where we go, we don’t need to report to you. If you find that we are missing, don’t come looking for us, just treat it as if we are missing. We don’t exist, got it?”

"this……………"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Teng Tangyin and the vice-captain looked at each other in surprise. Generally speaking, Antarctic scientific expeditions are full of dangers. Not only do you need to report before going out, but you may even lose your life if you lose contact. However, Duanmu Huai actually said not to come looking for them even if they disappeared?

"Please forgive me, if something happens..."

"I said, we have things to do."

Duanmuhuai interrupted Teng Tangyin.

"So we won't accept your command, and you can just pretend that we don't exist. Even if something happens, we will be responsible for ourselves. Do you understand what I mean?"

"…………………yes."

After hearing this, Todoyin was silent for a moment, and finally lowered his head.

After all, he is the sponsor, so he can do whatever he wants, so what else can he do?

"that………"

At this moment, the deputy team leader next to him raised his hand.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"That's right, because this is the re-entry of the civilian observation team after three years, so we also contacted the TV station, and they gave us a plan, saying they would follow up and interview..."

"no problem."

Duanmu Huai would not take such a trivial matter seriously.

After a few brief conversations, Duanmu Huai left directly, leaving Tog Tangyin and the vice-captain behind. The two were silent for a moment and looked at each other.

"What do you think?"

"...I always feel it's a little weird."

Todo Gin frowned. Frankly speaking, it was a good thing that the other party was willing to sponsor the maintenance and exploration costs of the Antarctic base for the next three years. But the request made by Duanmu Huai made Tou Tangyin very confused. After all, this was basically suicide in Antarctica. You must know that even if the observation team goes out, they will usually keep in contact with the base to avoid problems.

But Duanmu Huai asked the base to leave them alone, regardless of whether they contacted or not. To be honest, looking at Duanmu Huai's size, Todoyin always felt that the team he mentioned was not like an ordinary exploration team...

"What do you think the sponsor is going to do in Antarctica?"

"Could it be some secret department? You see, it's like in a Hollywood movie, they are going to investigate aliens or something..."

"In Antarctica?"

"Aren't there a lot of movies like this recently?"

"It's just a movie."

"…………I hope so."

When he came to the street, Duanmuhuai raised his head and glanced at the sky. It was winter now. To be honest, it was still summer when Duanmuhuai came to this world, and now it is winter. Although Duanmu Huai has no sense of time, the third grader in the wind band club has also withdrawn from the national competition and started to take the college entrance examination. Not long ago, they all completed the exams one by one, and most of them got pretty good grades.

Asuka Tanaka also made a special trip to report her results and once again expressed her gratitude to Duanmu Huai.

"I didn't expect it to be so useful to my mother. I think I have a way to deal with her now."

When Asuka Tanaka said this, she was very proud, and Duan Muhuai could only wish her good luck.

In addition, there are also some other things, such as...

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai opened his phone, and there was a farewell text message from Aizi. In the letter, she expressed her gratitude to Duanmuhuai for his assistance, and said that she had successfully been admitted to a university in Tokyo. With the previous money, she could also go to the school of her choice. At the same time, she also asked Duanmuhuai to take care of Xiaolu in a text message.

However, Aiko actually managed to get into college.

Duanmu Huai was somewhat surprised when he thought of the girl with blond hair, fancy dress, and laughing and joking all day long. He had always thought that Ai Zi was the type to muddle along, at least Duanmu Huai couldn't imagine her taking the college entrance examination with a serious face.

It is said that she did this kind of job before to save tuition and living expenses. Well... I have to say that although this method is somewhat unpopular, it is indeed the fastest way for girls of this age to make money.

I remember Xiaoru also said that the reason why she asked me to do this was to move out alone after her mother remarried.

In fact, it's normal to think about it. If there weren't problems at home, ordinary girls wouldn't be able to give up on themselves and do this kind of work.

It seems that these two people are typical examples of how every family has difficulty reciting sutras.

Duanmu Huai has heard of Xiaoru's family story. To be honest, it is simply an urban emotional drama. Just thinking about it makes her head feel heavy. You can imagine how much mental pressure Xiaoru has. Judging from the way she hesitated when talking about Aiko's condition, I guess the situation at Aiko's house is similar...

"Ah, uncle!"

Just when Duanmuhuai was filled with emotion, a voice suddenly sounded. Duanmuhuai looked down and saw Xiaoru standing not far away, waving to him. What she was wearing was not her usual daily clothes, but a school uniform... Not only that, but beside her stood a girl who was also wearing a school uniform.

"???"

Seeing Xiao Ru's expression, Duanmu Huai was speechless, but he still walked over.

"How will you be here?"

"I was just about to go home from cram school...but I'm really surprised to see my uncle here."

"Oh, I have some work and come here to talk about something."

Duanmuhuai looked at Xiaoru, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. It seems that Xiaoru is really a novice. If it were Aiko, he would definitely pretend not to see him at this moment and send him a text message later. After all, work is work and life is life.

Usually when Aiko and Xiaoru meet Duanmuhuai, they are either wearing daily clothes or uniform-style clothes sold outside, instead of their own school uniforms. This is normal. After all, the uniforms of each school are different. If you are interested, you can investigate the other school just from the uniforms.

In this way, it is equivalent to being held by the other party. If it is a bad person, he may threaten the girl, saying that if you don't listen to me, I will tell the school what you did - Aiko may not care, But if Xiaoru is found out, he will definitely be expelled from school.

Hey, it’s a shame that Xiaoru only has herself as a guest.

Duanmuhuai sighed silently and looked at Xiaoru.

"Be careful on the road then."

Duanmuhuai didn't plan to say more to Xiaoru. Maybe he would send a text message to remind Xiaoru of this later. However………

"By the way, uncle, do you have time? My friend happens to be a little worried. I wonder if you can talk to her?"

“…………………???”

Hearing Xiaoru's words, Duanmuhuai and the girl both looked at her in surprise - did she understand what she was talking about?

"……………Fine."

Duanmu Huai sighed silently. He didn't know if it was his misunderstanding. He always felt that after talking to him about the situation at home that day, Xiaoyu seemed to have more trust in him.

Sitting down in a nearby fast food restaurant, Xiaoru said she was going to order food and left, leaving Duanmuhuai and the girl staring at each other.

Then, the girl coughed slightly.

"Hello, sir, may I ask who you are..."

"Just call me uncle, I am an acquaintance of Xiaoru."

Duanmuhuai decisively interrupted the other party's inquiry, and upon hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, the girl narrowed her eyes slightly.

"An acquaintance of Xiaoru... right?"

"Yes, that's it."

"Well, please take care of me, my name is... Kana."

As she spoke, the girl lowered her head politely and saluted Duanmu Huai.

"It's our first time meeting you. Hello, uncle. Please give me your advice."

"Are you Xiaoru's friend?"

"Well...it's because the kid doesn't have many friends."

"It doesn't look like her personality either."

If it were Aiko, it wouldn't be surprising to have a lot of fair-weather friends, but it would be strange for a taciturn girl like Xiaoru to have a few friends.

But the girl in front of me......

Duanmuhuai looked at the other party carefully. She was petite, even shorter than Xiaolu. She had a bob haircut and a red hairpin. She looked like a well-behaved and cute girl. However, Duanmuhuai felt that this girl was a bit dangerous. The reason was very simple. When he met the other party just now, Duanmuhuai noticed that when he saw him, the girl was startled at first, but she quickly calmed down and began to look carefully. Look at yourself.

Although Duanmu Huai has not turned on the fear aura now and has restrained his momentum, he was able to calmly deal with himself without being frightened when they met for the first time... Well, this girl is extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai reached out and pressed Kana's shoulder across the table.

"Uncle?"

Being grabbed by Duanmu Huai's broad palm, even Kana couldn't hide his shaken expression. Duanmuhuai stared at her and said calmly.

"That kid Xiaoru is a bit too honest. I'm worried about whether she will be bullied at school, but with friends like you here, I feel relieved... I hope you can always do well with Xiaoru in the future. Friend."

Having said this, Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes and stared at the girl in front of him. He could feel that the other party's body had become stiff in his hands, but even so, there was no wavering on the girl's face, but she nodded.

"I, I will be good friends with Xiaoru."

"very good."

After getting the answer he wanted, Duanmu Huai smiled slightly and retracted his hand.

"Ah, I'm back."

At this moment, Xiaoru also appeared in front of the two of them again, carrying a dinner plate.
