Ruby was puzzled: "Yes, it can’t be wrong, Lab X was a big name before, although I haven't paid attention to it anymore in the past two years, but the name will never be wrong."
She lifted her eyelids and looked at the shocked face of Levi, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong? You know about this lab?"
Levi’s brow gradually wrinkled up, his eyes became deeper and his pupils darker.
His thin lips moved and his low voice seemed even more depressed, "As I told you before, I came to F Country five years ago because I received a mission."
It was because of an accident on that mission that the two had sex.
There was a slight surprise in Ruby’s eyes, "You came to purge Lab X back then?"
Levi nodded: "That's right, at that time when we went there, the Lab X was already empty, retreated in advance, but the retreat was not quite timely, we got a batch of drugs. After that, it disappeared, later District 7 has been sent to keep an eye on it, but there has not been a single clue, I thought they were going to hibernate for a long time, but to my surprise, it turned out that they had already started acting in the dark."
A cold smile was seen in the corners of his mouth and his eyes sank: "This lab has never been doing anything good, and when it says it wants to work with you, it probably has its eye on the new reagents you have developed in your lab. It was a right decision that you didn’t agree.”
Ruby sat up, thought about what happened, and added, "But if this thing was done by Lab X, then the person behind this lab would have to be someone I know, but I can't think of anyone who might have that identity right now."
Levi wasn't surprised: "This identity must be very different from what he usually is in plain sight, that's why it's so disguised and not so easy to spot."
The two were analyzing the situation and Benjamin came knocking on the door.
"Lunch is ready, let's go down and eat together."
Levi stood in the doorway, faintly hooking his lips, his tone still kind: "Okay, thanks for the hospitality."
Benjamin did not have a good attitude to him, but in front of Ruby, he did not show his disgust, and only gave a nonchalant answer, turned around and went downstairs first.
At the dinner table, Ruby and Levi did not discuss the previous topic and ate quietly.
Benjamin sat across the table and watched as Levi kept giving Ruby dishes, his face grew darker and darker, and the meal in his mouth became tasteless.
He held back for a moment, but finally couldn't help himself: "Mr. Finn, it's fine for youngsters to show their love, but it's a bit inappropriate for you to show your love at your age, isn't it?"
Ruby: "......"
She was embarrassed and now she was blushed.
Levi was clam to hear that. He peeled prawns for Ruby and wiped his hands with a towel.
"We are not old indeed, if I remember correctly, Mr. Hayes, you seem to be a year older than me, do you think you're already old?"
Benjamin: "......"
He was upset at that.
But Levi continued, "Besides, it's not even showing love, it's just about daily life, Mr. Hayes, you should have some prejudice against showing love, do you want Ruby and I show you what love really is?"
Ruby: "......"
Benjamin: "......"
He was shocked at how cheeky Levi was, and even more so, he couldn't understand what Ruby like about him that she would choose to marry him.
