Genius Girlfriend

From this perspective, he is probably a poor man.

Lin Zeqiu thought for a while, and Lin Zhixia broke into his room: "Brother."

He responded: "What's wrong with you?"

Lin Zhixia said: "Tomorrow morning, Jiang Yubai will come downstairs to pick us up, and then we will go to the airport together. I have a classmate who will go with us all the way. He works as a competition teacher at the Provincial No. 1 Middle School, and he specially took a public holiday..."

Lin Zeqiu had some impressions: "Is that the one called Duan Qiyan?"

"Yes." Lin Zhixia replied.

Lin Zeqiu nodded slightly. He eagerly asked his sister: "There is nothing wrong with your school, right? Two weeks of business trip, first settle the graduate students."

"Don't worry about this," Lin Zhixia chatted with him, "I've made plans a long time ago. The school is calm, basically nothing..."

She sat next to Lin Zeqiu and folded clothes with him: "Tian Jiang Yubai gave me a few pieces of amber. This morning, I took the amber into the paleontology laboratory..."

Lin Zeqiu paused with both hands, then said: "The kind of amber that is covered with bugs?"

Lin Zhixia immediately took out the phone. She just opened the photo album, and Lin Zeqiu said, "Jiang Yubai will give you these things? Dead flies, dead beetles, dead snails... They should be donated to the laboratory, and they should be kept at home."

Lin Zeqiu has a fatal weakness-he hates, hates, and fears insects since he was young. He was bitten by a centipede and hated all insects ever since. When he was in middle school, Lin Zhixia caught a beetle, which could make him take off his cold and arrogant mask and yelled in the living room at home.

The old scene clearly appeared in Lin Zhixia's mind.

She covered her mouth and laughed.

Lin Zeqiu squinted at her.

She immediately tensed her facial expression and patted Lin Zeqiu's shoulder: "There is a list of travellers in the WeChat group. Please check it. Get up at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning. Don't sleep late. Okay, I'm finished. I'm going back to the room. Good night, brother."

Lin Zeqiu reluctantly said perfunctorily: "Good night."

Lin Zhixia put her cheek in one hand: "Can't you call me a nickname?"

Lin Zeqiu buckled the lock of the suitcase: "People call you by your nickname all day long, are you twenty-two or two?"

Lin Zhixia walked to the door, took another step, provocatively said: "See you tomorrow morning, Qiuqiu."

Lin Zeqiu was silenced by her.

Early the next morning, there was a light rain on the edge of the sky, and the rain covered a layer of mist, and the tall buildings were immersed in the vast fog.

The mist-stained air seemed particularly fresh. Lin Zhixia stood downstairs carrying the suitcase and took a deep breath. She prospered with poetry, and read Bai Yuchan's "Jianglou Night Talks": "Jiang Wuqiulou is white, the lanterns are blue and the night is rainy, and there is no dream in nine days, this way pays Chenxing.

In this poem, there are "Jiang", "Bai", and "Autumn". Lin Zeqiu glanced at her, and she only looked into the distance: "Jiang Yubai is here." She waved at him twice. Start, full of enthusiasm as always.

Jiang Yubai's driver drove a commercial vehicle, which was large enough to hold the luggage of Lin Zhixia and Lin Zeqiu. Lin Zeqiu sat in the back row with his sister. His seat happened to be facing Jiang Yubai. The car was racing along the wide road. Lin Zhixia also joked: "Today, our family is traveling."

Jiang Yubai joined in and said: "Hong Kong has a lot of fun places, we can take the time to stroll around for a day."

Lin Zeqiu did not say anything. He rested his chin in his right hand and his eyes drifted out of the window.

Lin Zhixia chatted with Jiang Yubai: "I sent an email to teacher Gu Likai. I want to set up a four-school joint research group, including our school, as well as Peking University, Hong Kong University and Hong Kong Branch. There are two main purposes. First, remote Test quantum communication. Second, try to develop a practical quantum general-purpose computer... The chip problem has not been properly solved. To be honest, I am not very sure. My current thinking is that if the development fails, in the process of exploration All of the technological breakthroughs made are of certain value. In order to develop the quantum programming language, we reconstructed the graph theory theory. In this part of the content, I participated relatively little, and the main work was established by Feng Yuan and the Russian mathematician The team is doing...Because the theory was successful, Feng Yuan quickly passed the PhD defense, and the Russian friend still hopes to sprint for the Fields Medal."

The Fields Medal is known as the Nobel Prize in mathematics.

So far, the youngest winner in the world is Peter Scholze. He got Fields when he was 30 years old, and Lin Zhixia’s Russian friend is almost 30 years old. Not only is he talented, he is also very hardworking. Assiduously, maintaining high-intensity work and high-intensity results all year round, Lin Zhixia sometimes suspects that he is actually smarter than her, but the two of them have chosen different development directions.

Jiang Yubai took out three bottles of mineral water and distributed them to Lin Zhixia, Lin Zeqiu, and himself. He and Lin Zhixia are both people with a sense of ceremony. They toasted with mineral water bottles. Jiang Yubai also said: "I wish that friend get Fields."

"Can you get Fields?" Lin Zeqiu asked suddenly.

Lin Zhixia blinked: "Me?"

Lin Zeqiu sat upright: "It's not you, who would it be? It's impossible for me and Jiang Yubai."

The interior of the business car is spacious, the leather soft chair comes with a massage function, and under the armrest is a small privately customized incubator, which contains freshly baked two-drawer steamed dumplings. As soon as Jiang Yubai opened the lid, Lin Zhixia said excitedly: "It's so fragrant, let me taste it. I was too anxious to go out in the morning and I didn't eat much at home."

Jiang Yubai opened another porcelain plate with a stack of strawberry crepes. There is also a fragrant peach blossom lemon tea in his thermos. The alluring smell of food filled the entire carriage, and Lin Zhixia immediately sat beside Jiang Yubai. She drank from the cup held by him, and he skillfully adjusted the angle of the rim of the cup, apparently he had done it countless times.

Lin Zeqiu was startled.

Lin Zhixia said: "You just asked me, can I get Fields?"

The rain pounded on the car windows, her voice was softer than the sound of rain: "Of course it's impossible. I'm not specializing in mathematical theory research."

She traced the car window with her finger and slid down along a water mark: "We all have our own way.'What we waste or get is precisely the time that is flying by'[1]."

Jiang Yubai agreed: "You can get something if you want to give up."

Lin Zhixia and him high-five.

Lin Zeqiu leaned back in his chair and Jiang Yubai handed him a plate of dumplings, and he absently accepted Jiang Yubai's kindness. He ate two steamed buns and said afterwards, "Thank you..."

Jiang Yubai responded naturally: "You're welcome, brother."

Lin Zeqiu took out a napkin and wiped his mouth. He hasn't spoken since, but he was reticent. He saw that the scenery outside the window was rapidly changing, row upon row of buildings gradually disappeared, and the arc-shaped roof of the terminal building was magnificent under the brilliant sunrise.

A plane happened to pass by in the sky, and the route stretched to the end of the horizon, hiding in the white clouds. Lin Zeqiu could tell, Lin Zhixia patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go, get out of the car."

In the afternoon, Lin Zhixia and his party arrived in Hong Kong and checked into the hotel run by the Jiang Yubai family.

Four crystal tassel chandeliers are hung in the lobby of the hotel. The granite floor is slender and dusty. The round long pillars are inlaid with gold leaf, showing the luxurious style from inside and outside.

Lin Zeqiu raised his eyes and held Lin Zhixia's sleeves: "Business suites are not cheap. How much do we have to spend two weeks in total?"

Lin Zhixia lowered her voice and said, "Travel expenses can be reimbursed, and Jiang Yubai also has internal discounts... Don't feel bad about the money. When we come to Hong Kong this time, in addition to contacting academic institutions, we will also investigate the Hong Kong stock market. Our company may be listed in Hong Kong in the future. , Just like Netease, Xiaomi, and Alibaba Group."

She patted his arm very boldly: "At that time, Lin Zeqiu, you will be an executive of a listed company! How is it, are you confident?"

He snorted and did not answer.

Lin Zhixia still joined in: "Don't you care about the status of the'executive of a listed company'? You deserve to be Lin Zeqiu, who treats money like dirt."

Lin Zeqiu held the room card of the "Business Suite" tightly. He refused to let the welcomer help him carry his luggage, insisting on carrying it himself. He followed Jiang Yubai into the elevator, and Duan Qiyan was still chatting: "Your trip starts tomorrow. Are you okay in the afternoon? Are you going to Hong Kong? Island?"

Duan Qiyan wore a set of Adidas sportswear and a black baseball cap on his head. He dressed and spoke and behaved like a male college student in his early twenties.

Tang Tingting looked at him for a moment, and said with a smile: "Okay, Cheung Chau's seafood is delicious, let's go to Cheung Chau."

Lin Zhixia learned from Jiang Yubai that the relationship between Tang Tingting and Duan Qiyan is not stable-they not only quarrel, but also periodically cold war. In order to create opportunities for the two of them to be alone, Lin Zhixia casually found an excuse: "You go, I will not go."

She pulled Jiang Yubai's sleeves: "Jiang Yubai and I have to discuss some work issues."

Jiang Yubai had a close heart with her. He then said: "The company is going to advance the Hong Kong stock listing plan next year."

Tang Tingting nodded again and again: "Okay, then you guys are busy."

She turned her head and asked Luo Ying: "Senior sister, do you have any plans tonight? Would you like to go to Changzhou Island with us?"

The gold-painted elevator walls reflect Luo Ying's tall figure. Her clothes are tastefully matched, her long curly hair draped over her back, and her silky black hair shines brightly. She wore a diamond earring in her left ear, and the bright light from that earring flashed into Tang Tingting's eyes.

Luo Ying still smelled of perfume mixed with lilies and roses. Tang Tingting couldn't help taking a deep breath, and Luo Ying answered her aloud: "I'm not going anymore, thank you. I want to read in the room." Annals of Mathematics "I haven't finished reading the paper on "."

"Where have you read, senior sister?" Lin Zhixia asked curiously.

Luo Ying looked back at her and smiled. Tang Tingting looked sincere and graceful, but Lin Zhixia was still calm: "The review cycle of the Annals of Mathematics is so long. I have a classmate who has submitted more than two years and has not received the editor. Reply."

Luo Ying asked her: "Have you ever voted?"

Lin Zhixia shook her head.

Luo Ying said to herself: "I have voted."

Before the voice was over, the elevator dinged and the elevator doors opened slowly.

Duan Qiyan seems to have the strength to make things happen. He happily picked up the suitcase, rushed into the corridor, and said as he ran, "Tang Tingting, I found our room!"

Tang Tingting chased it: "You keep your voice down."

Duan Qiyan said, "If you can't noisy others, this floor is covered by Jiang Yubai."

Tang Tingting looked at Jiang Yubai in shock: "You really are not so rich."

Jiang Yubai avoided this topic. He confirmed the schedule for tomorrow with the secretary, and then asked everyone about the progress of the work. Duan Qiyan would occasionally insert two sentences. In the end, they bid farewell at the door of their respective rooms.

Duan Qiyan and Tang Tingting live in room 1401. Tang Tingting took out her room card and joked, "Hey, do you have any impression of our high school study trip? At that time, I shared a room with Lin Zhixia, and you shared a room with Shen Jixuan..."

Duan Qiyan seized the opportunity and asked, "Do you want to live with me more or with Lin Zhixia?"

Lin Zhixia saved Duan Qiyan's reputation in the winter vacation camp of the first year of junior high. Duan Qiyan has been grateful to Lin Zhixia for so many years. However, just recently, Duan Qiyan suddenly regarded Lin Zhixia as an imaginary enemy.

Tang Tingting pulled Duan Qiyan into the room, and persuaded him earnestly: "Why do you always compare with Lin Zhixia? You are in your twenties, don't always compare. You finally took a public holiday to join me. When you get up in Hong Kong, you have to learn to calm your mind and don’t always quarrel with me. I wanted to talk to you a long time ago. For a man, the most important thing is family. These heartfelt words, outsiders will not tell you. Only me, as your girlfriend, can tell the truth."

Duan Qiyan was bypassed by her.

He hesitated slightly: "Men can't eat soft food, let alone be a jerk, career is the most important thing."

Tang Tingting asked him to sit on the bed. Afterwards, she lifted Erlang's legs, took his shoulders, and guided him like an old cadre: "Small, don't you think too extreme. When did I make you a bastard? I want you to be more Gu's family... I'll take you out to meet friends, you save me some face, don't always compare with Lin Zhixia. Lin Zhixia is my immediate boss, you care so much, how difficult it is for me to do it, you change Think about it."

Duan Qiyan vaguely agreed with Tang Tingting's statement.

Tang Tingting continued his efforts: "Look, our company will be listed in two years. I am the leader of the hardware department. You are the leader of the core department of a listed company and the teacher of the competition class of the Provincial No. 1 Middle School. , Shouldn't your mind be broader?"

Duan Qiyan smiled coldly: "Listening to you, my heart is not broad enough now?"

Tang Tingting uttered a two-tone "Hey", and then asked, "Husband, why did you get into a dead end again?"

Duan Qiyan took off his hat, Tang Tingting stroked his hair. He took off his sportswear jacket, and Tang Tingting rubbed his arm again. When he was in middle school, he often went to the playground to play, even if it was the sweltering heat, he dared to play football against the sun-being exposed to the sun all the year round, resulting in his dark complexion. Tang Tingting really likes that color.

She encircled his upper arm with her hands, pressed and rubbed, his shoulders suddenly stiffened. The two remained still for a few seconds before he faltered and said in a low voice: "Not now...I want to wait until after marriage."

Tang Tingting burst into a hearty laughter like a pig cry: "I relied on hahahahahahaha to say what you did, twitchy! I haven't instilled you in this regard."

Duan Qiyan was lost in thought.

She was still telling with gusto: "I remember, your junior high school was in this tune. Wasn't someone in the class at that time spread the rumors about us? Haha, we played a couple in the stage play "Change", don’t My classmates said that I and you are a couple on the crew and will definitely fall in love in the future. After hearing what your classmates said, you were so angry that you blushed with blood."

She lay on the bed: "Time flies so fast, this dazzling thing is more than ten years ago."

"We are all grown up." Duan Qiyan said with emotion.

He lay down beside her, and she muttered to herself: "Yeah, everyone has grown up."

This afternoon, no one went to Cheung Chau Island.

All the members of the team stayed in the hotel room. Lin Zhixia also changed into a nightdress, sat on the edge of the coffee table, ceremonially holding up a bowl of purple sweet potato milk sago from the hotel, she tasted After taking a sip, he repeatedly exclaimed, "It's delicious."

Jiang Yubai approached her: "How delicious is it?"

Lin Zhixia was about to hand him the spoon. He bowed his head and kissed the corner of her lips, and said, "It's so sweet."

The distance between them is only a few centimeters. Lin Zhixia looked down and saw his rolling Adam's apple, his collarbone half-covered, and the smooth texture of the collar looming. Lin Zhixia quickened her breathing and smelled the light scent on him again. She suddenly became dry and dry, and she raised her head and drank the bowl of sago.

Jiang Yubai reminded her: "Be careful of choking."

She put down the porcelain bowl in her hand and threw directly into his arms.

"You hug me." She said coquettishly.

Lin Zhixia's ability to act like a baby is a must.

Jiang Yubai held her back with one hand, and she confided to him: "Last Friday night, I meditated at home and sorted out my previous memories. I finally figured it out. Since then, I like you very much..."

Jiang Yubai was fully psychologically prepared to welcome Lin Zhixia's sweet words. But before she said the next sentence, her mobile phone rang untimely. The phone screen displayed the landline number of a department of a local university in Hong Kong. Lin Zhixia did not dare to neglect, and immediately pressed the answer button.

Her voice became very calm and dignified at this moment.

The caller is an assistant to a university professor. The assistant's Mandarin was not standard, and his pronunciation was a little bit lagging. Lin Zhixia spoke Cantonese with him, and the communication between the two parties really went smoothly. The only shortcoming was that Jiang Yubai could not understand Lin Zhixia. say what.

After Lin Zhixia hung up the phone, she did Jiang Yubai's Cantonese translation. She relayed the content of the call completely, and carefully arranged: "Tomorrow I will take my colleagues to give a lecture, and then talk to their leaders. You go to your financial office for a meeting. In the evening, we are on the university campus. Converge at the door."

Jiang Yubai joked: "The soldiers are divided into two ways."

"Yeah," Lin Zhixia nodded, "After finishing work during the day, we can go shopping together at night."

Early the next morning, Lin Zhixia and her colleagues went to a famous university in Hong Kong. They gave a lecture in a grand auditorium to exchange the academic background and business model of the quantum technology company with the teachers and students in the school. The lecture was very successful. At the end, the audience was applauding and the atmosphere was very high.

Lin Zhixia struck the iron while it was hot and negotiated with the school's management a cooperation agreement on the "Four-School Joint Research Group". The school has also actively responded to her plan and is willing to cooperate with all academic work, but the specific details of the contract have to be scrutinized repeatedly.

Lin Zhixia was already quite satisfied with this answer on the first day of the business trip. She took her colleagues to leave the campus and walked happily on the street outside the campus. At this time, it was almost 6 o'clock in the evening, the setting sun was setting, the restaurant signs on the street were full of Hong Kong style, and the scent of food was floating in the vast world.

Lin Zeqiu was relaxed. He raised his phone and took pictures in the distance.

At this moment, they passed through an old-fashioned neighborhood, and a group of tourists complained softly in front of them: "Come on, can this cockroach fly?"

A black spot faintly appeared on Lin Zeqiu's phone screen. The subconscious mind in his brain made him take a step back, but the black spots were getting closer and closer to him, accompanied by a buzzing sound of flying wings.

He heard a hint of surprise in Lin Zhixia's tone: "This cockroach is really big, it's the biggest cockroach I have ever seen."

Tang Tingting smiled and nicknamed: "The Cockroach Big Mac!"

Lin Zhixia also smiled.

How can they laugh? !

Lin Zeqiu had previously heard that cockroaches in the south were big and strong, but he did not expect that he would witness the flying insects on the first day of his official business trip. His legs were as heavy as lead, even Luo Ying had noticed it. His condition.

Luo Ying asked him: "Are you okay?"

Lin Zeqiu is tight-lipped.

At this time, the sky is getting bleaker, and a long street is lit up by colorful neon signs. Lin Zhixia and Tang Tingting walked towards a Cantonese restaurant holding hands. They stood outside a showcase, carefully studying the signature menu affixed to the glass, and flowing colored light shining diagonally on their faces, creating a prosperous and secular beauty, just like Hong Kong movies in the 1990s. Viewing scene.

Luo Ying ghostly took out the camera.

Her camera pointed at Lin Zhixia.

She turned on the camera function, and Lin Zhixia seemed to feel it. She looked back at Luo Ying: "Are you photographing me?"

Luo Ying pressed the metal shell of the camera tightly, and the outer ring of her nails was slightly white.

Lin Zhixia suddenly proposed: "Let's shoot a longer video so that all colleagues can be included in the shot, starting with Tang Tingting and me, how about?"

Everyone said yes.

Pedestrians come and go on the road, their steps are fast or slow, the night sky is obscured by one after another signboards, Luo Ying is deeply trapped in this lively and bustling market street. She stood quietly on the spot, and the noise around her did not belong to her. Lin Zhixia in the camera monitor looked at her through the lens.

Lin Zhixia wore a light beige dress, the skirt and long hair were highlighted with lights. Her hair is black, shiny and supple, with natural curls at the ends, white and soft, and her figure is lumpy. Even the silhouette on the ground is like a sketch—a sketch drawn by a perfectionist.

She called again: "Senior Sister?"

After graduating from Luoying University, she went abroad to study for a Ph.D. and kept in touch with Lin Zhixia. Every time Luo Ying picked up the phone, Lin Zhixia would first yell "Senior Sister"-this title has been retained until now.

The camera's screen is only as big as a palm, and Luo Ying's mood cannot be restrained in such a narrow square inch. She recalled over and over again the tone of Lin Zhixia and her when discussing mathematics, Lin Zhixia's reputation, ideals, hobbies, troubles... Countless pieces gathered together to piece together some vague and clear characteristics-how contradictory, Just like Luo Ying's situation at this moment.

Luo Ying is still photographing Lin Zhixia. But she looked down at the floor, her palms damp.

The restaurants on both sides of the street have their own characteristics, and the oily smoke from the kitchen floats into her eyes.

Only two short minutes passed.

Lin Zhixia looked at a tile above her head: "I thought that cockroach flew away. It turned out that it has been lying here. Let's let it into the mirror. Flying insects of this size are not common in our hometown."

Tang Tingting "haha" smiled and said, "The Big Mac is back. Don't tell me, this little thing is quite clever."

Luo Ying was also very calm and calm. When she was studying at Columbia University in the United States, she lived in a student apartment in New York. She had seen a group of fat and round American cockroaches downstairs. After being overwhelmed, she was immune to the appearance of cockroaches.

So Luo Ying casually agreed: "Okay, I'm shooting."

Lin Zeqiu's right eyelid jumped twice.

He has an extremely vague hunch.

Why did his sister and his sister's friends not panic at all when they saw the cockroach, so they could join together to make jokes and make videos? Do they still want to write an "Insects" together? Lin Zeqiu was thinking wildly, and the cockroach on the other side suddenly started again, and went straight to Lin Zeqiu to dive quickly, with a fierce momentum and trembling wings, as if Lin Zeqiu was its homicide.

Lin Zeqiu's scalp was numb.

He opened his mouth due to extreme tension, and the **** bug flew toward his lips and nostrils. His psychological defense was defeated, and the street screamed, "Ah-bug!"

Except for Lin Zhixia, all the members of the team were stunned.

Lin Zeqiu always looks upright, cold, serious and difficult to approach in the company. He is responsible for building the underlying technology platform, also known as "Infrastructure Engineer" and "InfrastructureEngineer" in English. The technical team led by him and two other technical tycoons is often referred to as the "Infra Group". Everyone knows that the members of the "Infra Group" have unique skills and amazing strength.

At the negotiation meeting this afternoon, Lin Zeqiu also won the house.

But now he hurriedly shouted: "Help! What a **** big cockroach!"

Lin Zhixia ran to him immediately: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Passers-by stopped one after another, and Tang Tingting was at a loss: "What's the situation...sister save brother?"

Lin Zhixia really wanted to save her brother, but the current situation is a bit tricky-the cockroach landed on Lin Zeqiu's back, and Lin Zeqiu asked in fright, "The bug flew away?"

Lin Zhixia was about to lie, and an enthusiastic man came on the street. The hero is nearly 1.9 meters tall, young and handsome, handsome, and he has a newspaper in his hand. He slapped Lin Zeqiu's back with a newspaper, and the cockroach fell to the ground and was crushed by his black leather shoes.

Lin Zhixia whispered to him: "You are here."

"Who?" Lin Zeqiu asked alertly.

He dared not look back.

Because he had guessed, the cockroach died tragically behind him.

He heard Jiang Yubai's voice without a trace of emotion: "It's okay, I'm finished."

Lin Zeqiu repeatedly confirmed: "Is the corpse still there?"

"Destroyed." Jiang Yubai replied.

The Hong Kong-style sign was shrouded over their heads, and a layer of dark shadow was cast in the sky. Jiang Yubai lowered his head slightly, his face half-bright and half-dark: "I heard you calling for help.

Lin Zeqiu just turned around, and the cockroach disappeared into his world. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted Jiang Yubai on the shoulder - this was the first time in his life that he took the initiative to show his favor to Jiang Yubai. Jiang Yubai hit the railroad while it was hot: "Brother Uncle?"

Jiang Yubai and Lin Zeqiu both wore suits, and they both attended a very formal meeting today. Lin Zeqiu loosened his tie, still unable to say "brother-in-law" and other relatives, but he promised: "I will not block you again..."

So far, Jiang Yubai has been on Lin Zeqiu's WeChat block list. In other words, Jiang Yubai couldn't see Lin Zeqiu's circle of friends at all. Lin Zeqiu's willingness to let him go is already an effort to release goodwill.

Jiang Yubai couldn't change the nature of businessmen's interests. He bargained: "I plan to have a wedding with Lin Zhixia in August next year."

Lin Zeqiu didn't respond at first: "What will happen next August, if you are willing to do it... the wedding?"

Lin Zeqiu's expression was slightly solemn, although he knew that it would be sooner or later that Lin Zhixia and Jiang Yubai got married. However, in the hearts of him and his parents, Lin Zhixia always needs more protection. After all, any emotional pain is a permanent torture for her.

Lin Zeqiu was pacing the streets of Hong Kong night market, and Jiang Yubai walked side by side with him. The topic of their chat always revolved around Lin Zhixia. Lin Zeqiu was aware of the depth of Jiang Yubai's affection for Lin Zhixia. Given that Lin Zeqiu was single so far, he did not understand Jiang Yubai's state, but in his bones he hoped that Jiang Yubai would maintain this kind of energy.

The client, Lin Zhixia, was accompanied by Tang Tingting and Luo Ying to taste delicious food. They selected beautiful and unique earrings and bracelets in the jewelry store on the roadside. No one noticed that Duan Qiyan had been lost by everyone.

Duan Qiyan carried his mobile phone with him, but in order to save money, he did not activate the "Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan roaming function". Therefore, his mobile phone could not be connected to the Internet and could not make calls.

He walked and stopped on the bustling long street, and gradually separated from his friends.

The night is dark and endless, just like the vast sea in the dark night, the neon signs are islands after another. Duan Qiyan looked around and suddenly lost his sense of direction. He stood blankly at a busy intersection, like a cruise ship stopped sailing.

Fortunately, he had a thousand Hong Kong dollars in his pocket.

He decided to take a taxi back to the hotel if he was a big deal.

With this thought, Duan Qiyan relaxed.

He walked into a small restaurant and bought an oyster omelet and a bowl of fish porridge. At this time, it was at the peak of dining, and there were crowds of people everywhere, and the seats in the restaurant were already full. So, carrying a plastic lunch box, he sat on a bench in the street, and under the soft light from the street lamp, he lowered his head and used chopsticks to pull the food.

Several mainland tourists passed in front of him. At the forefront was an elegant and easy-going middle-aged man. The man said to his young son, "Is Hong Kong fun?"

The son replied: "It's fun."

Dad said again: "My dear son, next semester, you will be promoted to the sixth grade, and you will take the double-hundred exam again. Dad will take you abroad to play!"

The son asked him: "Dad, I was admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, where would you take me to play?"

Dad smiled and encouraged: "If you are admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University, you will have money. Wherever you want to go, you don't need Dad to take you..."

Duan Qiyan lifted Erlang's legs. As an outstanding graduate of Peking University, he always has a hint of pride in his heart. His college classmates are widely distributed all over the world-PhD students, entrepreneurs, and working people, each heading for a very different future. However, being admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University does not mean "rich".

No one talked to Duan Qiyan. Duan Qiyan was thinking about life in the noisy night market.

When he was a teenager, he was full of ambitions.

And now, he has achieved nothing.

He squatted on the street like a pony in a Hong Kong movie, holding a pair of disposable chopsticks, and eating from a plastic bag. As the night wind blows, it gets cooler, and the rain falls on his head, and his heart suddenly rises with the bitterness and desolation of "unrewarded".

"It's raining." Lin Zhixia said.

Pedestrians scattered on the street, dark clouds obscured the moonlight, Tang Tingting said in surprise, "It's really raining? The weather forecast says the probability of rain today is 30%."

Lin Zhixia took out her mobile phone: "I will send a text message to Jiang Yubai and the others."

"Duan Qiyan stay with them." Tang Tingting guessed.

Lin Zhixia agreed: "Probably so."

They stayed in a jewelry store, Luo Ying was still choosing earrings. She picked up a pair of delicate red strawberry earrings and handed them to Lin Zhixia's eyes: "Does it look good? May I put it on for you?"

Tang Tingting reminded: "Senior sister, she doesn't have pierced ears."

"I know," Luo Ying straightened the golden chain of the earrings, and the rosy and plump strawberries lay on her fingertips, "These are a pair of ear clips, and you can wear them without pierced ears."

Lin Zhixia stood in front of a mirror, and Luo Ying followed silently. She picked up Lin Zhixia's long hair and put her hair on the back of her ears-the hair was soft, smooth, and shiny, just like the best quality black silk.

"Your hair is well managed." Luo Ying commented softly.

"Maybe because I comb my hair every day and get enough sleep." Lin Zhixia selflessly shared her hair care experience. She looked at Luo Ying in the mirror, politely complimenting her: "Sister, you are the most beautiful."

Luo Ying laughed. Between her smile, Bai Hua was overshadowed.

She did not touch Lin Zhixia's skin, only opened the ear clip, and the metal touched Lin Zhixia's earlobe lightly.

Luo Ying's fingers were slender, slender and white, and Lin Zhixia's skin color was similar to hers. Her mind was in a trance for a moment, and she paid more attention to her movements.

The air was filled with a faint sweet fragrance, Luo Ying was very close to Lin Zhixia, the clear and enthusiastic scent stirred her nerves. The faster the heartbeat, the harder it was to hide, she simply held her breath until she finally fastened the ear clips.

Lin Zhixia fiddled with the strawberry pendant hanging on her left ear.

"Very cute," she said.

Luo Ying happened to be standing behind Lin Zhixia. She stirred up a strand of Lin Zhixia's hair, wrapped it around her fingers, and slowly loosened it. Her fingers almost touched Lin Zhixia's body, when she felt that what belonged to Lin Zhixia came through her dress. Temperature, immediately gave up all contact.

She took a step back and covered her cheek.

"Senior sister?" Lin Zhixia looked back at her.

She suggested: "Let's go back to the hotel."

Lin Zhixia stared at her eyes: "Your face is a bit pale, are you uncomfortable?"

"It's not breathable here." Luo Ying casually found an excuse.

The night rain outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was even more intense, and the rain poured on the transparent glass, and instantly dispersed into thousands of streams. The pedestrians on the road hurried in footsteps, while Jiang Yubai held a black umbrella and stood still. Through a window, he looked at Luo Ying and Lin Zhixia in the shop.

Lin Zeqiu didn't notice the abnormality in the shop. He only asked Jiang Yubai: "You have something wrong?"

Jiang Yubai said, "It's nothing."

Lin Zeqiu asked again: "Duan Qiyan is in it too, right?"

Jiang Yubai replied casually: "It's very possible."

"Okay, this kid," Lin Zeqiu said, "I followed them to choose jewelry for so long."

Lin Zeqiu strode into the store with both hands in his pockets. Everyone chatted for a while, and suddenly discovered that Duan Qiyan was missing. Tang Tingting panicked, and straightened the chain of the purse with her right hand, her arm was tense. Lin Zhixia comforted her: "Duan Qiyan has money. He can also go back to the hotel by taxi."

Lin Zeqiu also said: "He is so old, not a boy of seven or eight years old."

Tang Tingting took out an umbrella from her bag: "I feel a little guilty. He is a high school competition teacher. He does not have winter and summer vacations. He only has one week of public holidays each year... He followed us to Hong Kong. Our two teams paid no attention to him. There was no shadow... He couldn’t use his mobile phone, and he only carried banknotes. The rain was heavy at the moment and he didn’t even take a taxi.
