Chapter 159 I also have a junior apprentice
"Freedom? Such an unfamiliar word..."
He Gui followed Fu Hua out of the sky prison with a try-it attitude.
To others, the sunlight was normal, but it made it difficult for him to open his eyes.
"Is this the world outside of prison? It's so strange, and it feels like... it doesn't belong to me."
"How's it going? Are you still getting used to it?"
He Gui looked at Fu Hua and nodded slightly.
"That's great, get on the plane, we're going home soon."
〖go home?〗
He Gui got on the plane and looked out the window, still feeling it was unreal.
It wasn't until the plane landed and he stepped onto the floor of the headquarters that he was sure that he had really escaped from the prison.
Fu Hua looked at He Gui with loving eyes, as he looked around out of curiosity.
After a while, I asked him, "Do you like it here?"
He Gui just looked at him and didn't respond to the question.
“There’s really no rush to answer this question.”
There was another silence...
Fu Hua smiled awkwardly: "Haha, it's really awkward to always be in silence! How about this, I'll take you to meet my family! How about it?"
He Gui nodded slightly, which was considered as his agreement.
"Come on, you'll definitely like it."
"Like? That word again. I can't understand. What does like mean?"
Fu Hua took him, passed by many enthusiastic people, stepped into the elevator, came to an office and pushed open the door.
A young man who was handling official business was sitting in the room. When he saw Fu Hua, he immediately stood up and greeted him: "Master! You're back!"
Fu Hua stood aside and showed He Gui to the young man.
"Master, who is he?"
"Xiao Jie, I brought you a little junior brother."
[Hmm? When did Big Ice Cube agree to be your apprentice? Isn't it too much to just accept him as your apprentice unilaterally?]
Yu Jie supported himself on the table with one hand, crossed to the other side, ran to He Gui, and said excitedly: "Oh my god! I have a junior brother too? Come on, call me senior brother!"
He Gui took a half step back, obviously not yet understanding the situation.
"Hey! Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person." Yu Jie said, taking out a lollipop from his pocket and handing it to He Gui, and continued: "Call me brother, and I'll give you some candy, how about that? Not a loss, right?"
[Giving out candy makes me look more like a bad guy, right?]
He Gui just looked at him without responding.
Luo Shiyu whispered in He Gui's ear: "See? Those who tempt you with candy are not good people." (How dare you teach them?)
After waiting for a while, Yu Jie said to Fu Hua, "Master, is my junior brother's brain damaged?"
Fu Hua punched Yu Jie on the head and yelled, "You're the one with the problem in your head!"
Luo Shiyu also followed suit and echoed, "That's right! You're the one with the problem!"
Yu Jie covered his head and said aggrievedly, "Then why did he ignore me?"
"He was imprisoned in the Sky Prison for over ten years. He's new here and doesn't know anyone, so it's normal for him to be quiet."
"Imprisoned for over ten years? How old is he this year?"
"I looked at his information. He is 14 years old."
Yu Jie let out a long "Ah~" and seemed to understand something.
He bent down halfway, smiled and said to He Gui: "My name is Yu Jie, I'm 18 years old, you are right to call me Senior Brother."
He Gui looked at him and replied with only two words: "He Gui."
Yu Jie jumped up as if he had won the lottery and boasted to Fu Hua, "Oh, Master, did you hear that? He paid attention to me! Does that mean he recognizes me as his senior brother?"
Fu Hua looked at the intelligent computer, frowned slightly and said perfunctorily: "I think so."
"Master, are you going to be busy again?"
"Well, there is indeed work to do." Fu Hua looked at He Gui and instructed Yu Jie: "This child is temporarily in your care. He is a little special. Remember not to feed him ordinary food and never touch him. Remember?"
Yu Jie nodded in agreement: "Understood, Master."
"Well, let's take him for a physical examination first. As for accommodation..." Fu Hua frowned worriedly and continued, "Until his special room is built, he can squeeze in with you. Let him sleep on the floor, and don't take off his clothes."
"Okay, Master." Yu Jie agreed, smiled and stretched out his hand to He Gui, saying, "Let's go, Junior Brother."
He Gui hid his hands behind his back.
"Sorry, I forgot. I'm not allowed to touch you. So, follow me closely. If you get lost, it will be troublesome."
He Gui nodded and followed him.
Yu Jie kept talking to him all the way: "This base! It's as big as a maze. Hey! Do you know a maze? It's a place where you can easily get lost once you enter and it's hard to get out."
"I heard that before the war, there were a lot of mazes for children to play in. After the war, land became precious and there were no such constructions. What a shame! I really want to play in them."
Luo Shiyu covered his ears with his hands and complained: "You are such a chatterbox! Didn't you see Guigui ignored me..."
Luo Shiyu stopped talking because he saw He Gui was listening attentively to what the man said, even though it was meaningless nonsense.
Occasionally, passers-by would greet Yu Jie.
"Xiao Jie! Are you going to do some work for Commander Fu again?"
"No, I'm taking my junior brother for a physical examination."
Whenever Yu Jie met someone, he would proudly introduce He Gui to them: "This is my little junior brother. Isn't he cute? Isn't he very cute?"
At this time, Hegui was very thin due to long-term malnutrition, and he didn't look cute at all.
Those people couldn't say anything against their will, so they just changed the subject and praised Yu Jie for growing up.
After the physical examination, I returned to the office and found special ingredients sent by Fu Hua on the table.
Yu Jie picked up the ingredients, went to the kitchen, and said, "The doctor said you are severely malnourished. I will prepare your three meals according to the nutritional diet. I believe you will grow as tall as me soon!"
He Gui said nothing and followed him like a little tail.
Lying on the edge of the stove, looking at the food in the pot, I couldn't help swallowing.
"It smells so good."
Yu Jie looked at his reaction and said with a smile, "Are you hungry?"
"Ah."
"Ohhh! This is the second sentence you've said to me. That's great. We're getting closer!"
"Ah."
"Great, third sentence. The food is almost ready. Wash your hands. No, you can't wash your hands. Anyway... just sit at the table and wait for dinner!"
He Gui nodded and sat at the table waiting.
Yu Jie brought a bowl of rice to He Gui and told him, "Don't be picky about food!"
He Gui scooped up a spoonful of rice and tentatively put it into his mouth.
"It's not frozen. It feels like chewing food. Can I eat the food?"
Luo Shiyu was sincerely happy for him.
Yu Jie asked, "Is it delicious?"
"Ah."
"That's good. There's soup afterward."
Yu Jie went to the kitchen and filled a bowl of soup, placing it a little distance away from He Gui (to avoid scalding him).
Seeing He Gui finish his rice and soup, worried that he was not full, he asked again, "Is that enough?"
"Ah."
"That's great. Take a nap later, and I'll show you around the base this afternoon."
"Ah."
"Is all you can say is 'hmm'? Never mind, it's better than ignoring me."
"Ah."
