Chapter 28

When Xia Jianjing arrived home, Xia Ping had just returned, and he was still wearing the formal attire for the afternoon report meeting, so he didn't have time to change.

"Old Xia, today our school organized a unified report meeting for you," Xia Jianjing told Xia Ping triumphantly, "My classmates are very envious of me, but I am still very humble."

"Why are you being modest? Does it have something to do with you?" Xia Ping untied his tie, folded it and put it back in the closet. "By the way, did you feel anything unusual on your way to and from school recently?"

"Isn't it normal?" Xia Jianjing looked at the ceiling and tried hard to recall, "It seems not."

The gate of the attached middle school has been repainted. After the weather got hot, there were three or five more stray cats downstairs. Professor Chen’s youngest daughter is getting tougher and tougher. No matter who she meets, the first sentence she says is a scumbag. What are you looking at?"

But everything is ordinary and there is nothing wrong with it.

Xia Jianjing didn't understand what Xia Ping asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm just asking casually." Xia Ping said, "Let's go out to eat hot pot at night, your treat."

Xia Jianjing's attention was immediately diverted by the hot pot, "It's okay to eat hot pot, but why should I treat you? You are a big star today, shouldn't you come to treat me?"

Xia Ping said: "You have many reasons, hurry up and change clothes, I'll go downstairs and drive."

Xia Jianjing was so happy that he didn't even bother to pull the zipper of the school uniform, so he pulled it off from the top of his head, then put on a dark T-shirt casually, put on his shoes and ran downstairs.

From time to time on Xiaping Road, I would look at the rearview mirror, as if hiding from people.

Xia Jianjing laughed at him: "What's the matter, are you afraid that a reporter will follow you to interview you?"

Xia Ping turned around and looked at Xia Jianjing with deep eyes.

After a long time, Xia Ping sighed and said, "Yes, and I'm still worried that they will follow you."

Xia Jianjing laughed, "Do you think this is your 'Chaoyang Ji' back then? It caused a sensation all over the country."

After Xia Ping heard the words "Chaoyang Ji", his face suddenly darkened, and he vaguely changed the subject, "Let's go to that place to eat."

Ten years ago, the "Chaoyangji" project came back with great reputation. This was the first genome research on species restoration in China. Although the Internet had just entered Chinese families at that time, the main media of information transmission were TV and newspapers. Ping and their reports are still spread all over the streets.

Although Xia Jianjing was young, he still had a fresh memory of the grand occasion at that time.

Xia Jianjing thought to himself that his father had really stayed in the laboratory for a long time, and thought that the scientific research circle was the whole world, no different from before.

In fact, he thought so before returning to China. It wasn’t until he got in touch with his peers at school that he realized that with the development of the Internet, the public is more concerned about the entertainment industry and eight o’clock stalls. too much.

"Old Xia, you really think too much. I guess few people understand what you said in the afternoon." Xia Jianjing said, "Besides, it's good if someone really follows me. I have become famous. Look at my face, it must be popular on TV."

Xia Ping didn't drive far, but found a hot pot restaurant near the school. He pulled over and stopped, scolding, "You've been thinking about crooked things all day long. How's your study going?"

Xia Jianjing's eyes began to flicker, "It's not bad, physics and mathematics are not challenging, and I can get full marks with my eyes closed."

Xia Ping asked: "What about liberal arts?"

"Ah, Lao Xia, I'm going to take the number first!" Xia Jianjing smiled, unbuckled his seat belt and slipped out of the car.

Xia Ping knew that Xia Jianjing was quite partial, and Xia Jianjing had discovered the problem since he was a child, but he didn't expect it to get worse as he grew older.

Xia Jianjing has been very interested in physics since he was a child. Physics is nothing more than the laws that all things in nature follow. He can even tell Xia Ping what he observes from life without systematic knowledge of mechanics. The phenomenon of similar steam ejection.

Xia Ping didn't have a headache at first. Among his friends, there are many masters in the field of physics. He planned to let Xia Jianjing specialize in physics when other subjects reached the average.

But now, it seems time is running out.

Xia Ping leaned on the seat, rubbing the center of his brows, feeling weak all over.

This hot pot restaurant is newly opened, and it is attracting customers. The servings are quite sufficient. Xia Jianjing didn't grasp it, and ordered too much at once, and couldn't return it.

Xia Ping put down his chopsticks without eating much, lit a cigarette and stuck it to his lips, but didn't smoke much.He frowned, the phone kept ringing, and he replied a few words from time to time, looking quite busy.

Xia Jianjing didn't want to bother Xia Ping, so he could only work harder, and he had to finish the dishes he ordered, so he couldn't waste them.

When he went to pick up the car after eating, Xia Jianjing couldn't sit still, he rushed to open the door of the back seat, and lay down directly in it.

Xia Jianjing said: "Old Xia, I've eaten straight, I'll lie down for a while."

Xia Ping just called again, he nodded to Xia Jianjing to show that he understood, then put on the bluetooth headset and started the car.

Xia Jianjing listened for a while with his ears upright, and found that it was still a matter of the school. Xia Ping seemed to be contacting his colleagues, and wanted to put a few of his graduate students who had not graduated under the name of the other party.

Xia Jianjing felt bored, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and planned to play a game.

He just turned on the screen and found that he had received a QQ message from a temporary conversation in the class group.The letter was sent an hour ago, but he was eating at that time and his phone was on silent, so he didn't see it.

Xia Jianjing double-clicked the avatar, and felt that it looked familiar. The moment the dialog box popped up, he suddenly remembered it.

Isn't this Lu Zai!

Although Lu Zai basically doesn't talk in the group, Xia Jianjing still has an impression of this avatar.On the day they skipped class, he originally planned to ask about Lu Zai's situation, but Lu Zai set it to prohibit adding from the group, so he had no choice but to give up.

Xia Jianjing was extremely curious, and couldn't wait to look down, wondering what message Lu Zai would send him.

Lu Zai: I am Lu Zai.

Xia Jianjing was a little dumbfounded, and swipe the screen twice in disbelief, that's it?

Just this one?

He was not mistaken, Lu Zai only sent such an endless sentence, and there was nothing more in the next hour.

Xia Jianjing added Lu Zai as a friend, and then replied.

Cosmic Thunderbolt Invincible Whale: At the same table, what are you doing?

It took less than a second for the message to be sent, and Lu Zai replied, so fast that Xia Jianjing suspected that he had edited it in advance.

Lu Zai: Tomorrow is Saturday.

Xia Jianjing knew in his heart, and immediately understood what Lu Zai meant.

At noon, Lu Zai was lying on the bed in his bedroom, awkwardly asking him to go out to take pictures, but at that time the two of them hadn't completely cleared up their previous feud, and he was taking a gamble, so naturally he couldn't agree, and he even made a lame excuse, saying that he Stay at home and study hard.

But Xia Jianjing really didn't expect that Lu Zai would persist in asking him a second time.

According to his understanding of Lu Zai these days, he can basically be narcissistically sure that he is quite important to Lu Zai.

Xia Jianjing was only thinking about it and forgot to reply to Lu Zai at all. Then the phone vibrated again, and a new message popped up in the dialog box.

is a photo.

Xia Jianjing's eyes widened immediately, wishing he could stick the phone screen to his eyes.

Universe Thunderbolt Invincible Whale: Ah! ! ! ! ! ! !

Cosmic Thunderbolt Invincible Whale: At the same table! ! ! ! ! ! !

Cosmic Thunderbolt Invincible Whale: Is this yours? ! ! ! ! !

Xia Jianjing zoomed in on the photo. The background was Lu Zai's desk. The desk was very clean, and there was a brand C fixed-focus lens in the center.Lu Zai took a good photo, even the lines on the lens cover are very clear.

Xia Jianjing never dreamed that he would see the camera he was thinking about at Lu Zai's place. He clutched his phone and stared at the screen without blinking, for fear of missing any message from Lu Zai.

However, since Lu Zai posted the photos, he became silent as always and never spoke again.

Xia Jianjing had a cat hiding in his heart, scratching his heart and liver.

He waited for a few minutes, but there was still no reply from Lu Zai. He couldn't sit still anymore, so he directly dialed a video call to Lu Zai.

Xia Jianjing prepared a smile in advance, showing eight teeth, which was extremely dog-legged.

Lu Zai picked it up. He was still wearing his school uniform, sitting upright at his desk, and he could vaguely see a red and blue computer chair behind his head.

Xia Jianjing said flatteringly: "At the same table, do you know that you look so handsome through the screen!"

Lu Zai raised the corners of his lips, smiled, and didn't answer.

"I just went out to eat with Lao Xia, and it almost killed me." Xia Jianjing groaned, and forced himself to sit up from his seat, "Hey at the same table, did you just send me that shot of you?"

Lu Zai nodded and said, "It's mine."

"Wow," Xia Jianjing exclaimed, "When did you buy it? How does it feel? Isn't it great?"

Lu Zai originally wanted to stick to his original opinion that this model is really average, but he swallowed the truth when he thought of sunfish's complaints.

Lu Zai said, "The metering is pretty good."

"Is it! Isn't it!" Xia Jianjing had an expression of "I knew it" on his face, then suddenly blinked his eyes, and pursed his lower lip expectantly, "At the same table..."

Lu Zai lowered his head and worked non-stop, as if he was using two things at once. While chatting with Xia Jianjing, he was writing homework quickly.

Lu Zai looked up at Xia Jianjing on the screen, and asked, "Huh?"

Comparing the way of getting along between the two of them at noon, it was completely reversed. Now Lu Zai is holding a carrot in his hand, and Xia Jianjing has become the greedy donkey who is chasing after him.

Let alone a donkey, as long as he can touch his beloved lens, he will make Xia Jianjing anything.

Xia Jianjing paused, quite embarrassed, "Tomorrow is Saturday, are you free?"

Lu Zai hooked the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, and the arc of his eyes was extremely soft.

Lu Zai said, "It's nothing."

"Really?" Xia Jianjing jumped up, "Then let's go out and take pictures. You can take that lens with you, okay?"

Lu Zai smiled and said, "OK."

Xia Jianjing hung up the video, jumped forward, half-lyed on the back of the driver's seat, and poked his head to talk to Xia Ping.

Xia Jianjing said: "Old Xia, I will apply to go out to play tomorrow!"

Xia Jianjing didn't wear earphones just now, and Xia Ping heard the whole process.

"Go, bring more money with you." Xia Ping said, "It happens that I have something to do tomorrow, so take care of yourself, and I won't care about you."

Xia Jianjing repeatedly agreed, "Don't worry, I will definitely eat and have fun!"

Xia Jianjing was so happy that he danced and danced, he wanted to show off everything, so he climbed onto the wide angle of the ground and started to show off to others.

Xia Jianjing used Sunfish's account to post a post, and the accompanying picture was the one that Lu Zai sent him.

@晚阳的松鱼: I'm going on a date tomorrow! [with photos]

In the next few minutes, a bunch of comments were accumulated. Some people asked him which girl he fell in love with, and some said that his son was about to start dating but he was still single.

Xia Jianjing saw that everyone's guessing became more and more evil, and he was about to spell out a bloody essay, so he hurriedly sent a new post to clarify.

@晚阳的松鱼: Take a look at my pictures, I’m going on a date with my kiss camera, I’ll come back and give you my thoughts on using the repo.

After Xia Jianjing finished posting, he felt that something was missing. When he saw the fan interaction list on the right, Milu was still firmly in the first place. He suddenly thought of it and remembered it.

He complained to Milu before and swore that the puppy would like to be friends with Lu Zai, but now it has only been two days, and he is actually looking forward to his date with Lu Zai tomorrow.

Knowing that Milu would not discover the relationship between the two, he still felt embarrassed, as if he was an ignorant child, changing his face faster than the sky, and contradicting himself.

Xia Jianjing hesitated for a moment, feeling sorry, and finally clicked on Milu's profile picture, and sent a private message to the other party.

Sunfish basking in the sun: woof woof.

The next morning, Xia Jianjing got up before seven o'clock.He was in a good mood and didn't stay up in bed. After stretching himself, he got up quickly, dressed and washed.

He just walked out of the bedroom and saw that Xia Ping was already fully dressed and was about to go out.

Xia Jianjing was curious, so he asked, "You cook at home every day on weekdays, but why are you so busy on weekends? Is everything so weird in college?"

Xia Ping lowered his head to change his shoes, and said, "It's not about the school, I'm going to meet my old classmates."

"Oh." Xia Jianjing walked into the bathroom with his slippers on, with a toothbrush in his mouth, a little slurred, "Do you know me?"

Xia Ping just opened the door, heard the words and paused, he said: "It's your Uncle Yanbei."

When Xia Jianjing heard this, he immediately spit out the foam in his mouth, rinsed his mouth again, chased after him and asked, "Uncle Yanbei is back, too?"

Uncle Yanbei's full name is Yu Yanbei, who specializes in gas physics. He graduated from Brown University with a Ph.D. and went to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Base.

Xia Jianjing also met him once when he was very young. At that time, Xia Ping had just finished his research on "Chaoyang Ji", and Yu Yanbei happened to be on vacation, so the two old classmates simply got together.

Although there was only one meeting, the fascinating spacecraft that Uncle Yanbei casually mentioned deeply penetrated Xia Jianjing's childhood, and even the night dreams became wonderful because of this.

Later, Xia Jianjing often clamored to see Yu Yanbei, but due to work reasons, Yu Yanbei had many communication restrictions, so he could only call Xia Jianjing once in a while to encourage him to study hard.

Xia Jianjing's heart began to waver. One side was Lu Zai's camera, and the other was Uncle Yanbei whom he admired. He was in a dilemma.

Xia Ping had already reached the corner of the second floor at this time, Xia Jianjing asked him: "Old Xia, is Uncle Yanbei still there tonight, I want to see him too."

Xia Ping stood with the backlight, unable to see his expression clearly, he whispered: "Have fun, I will see you later."

Xia Jianjing sighed in disappointment, but it didn't last long.He looked at the time, and soon became elated again. In less than an hour, he will be able to meet Lu Zai and touch the camera!

Xia Jianjing went out on an empty stomach, bought pancakes, fruit and soy milk on the way, and arrived at the appointed place 10 minutes earlier.

He stood under the bus stop sign, finished eating pancakes and drinking soy milk before Lu Zai slowly walked across the road.

Lu Zai has tall legs and long legs, and he looks good in a sack, but today he seems to have dressed up specially, wearing black short sleeves with a SLR, the watch and shoes are the same color, very handsome.

Xia Jianjing threw the rubbish into the trash can and waved to Lu Zai, "Same table~"

Lu Zai looked up to see him, then ran two steps forward and crossed the zebra crossing before the red light came on.

Lu Zai said, "Let's go."

Xia Jianjing asked, "Where shall we take pictures today?"

Lu Zai said succinctly: "The Big Wild Goose Pagoda."

Although Xia Jianjing is from City X, he has only stayed in City X for too short a time. He has only heard of many places but never been there.So he stopped talking and followed Lu Zai obediently.

Xia Jianjing walked on Lu Zai's left, secretly looking at Lu Zai's camera.

Xia Jianjing asked: "At the same table, are you tired? How about I carry it for you?"

Lu Zai glanced at him sideways, took off the camera and threw it into his arms, "Here you are."

Xia Jianjing quickly caught it, and fiddled with it fondly, "Then can I take some pictures?"

"Let's shoot," Lu Zai said, "It was brought out for your use."

They walked to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and there were beautiful scenery along the way. Xia Jianjing stopped and stopped, and wanted to take pictures when he saw trees, flowers, and cars speeding past him.

Xia Jianjing didn't look at the road at all, but just stared at the palm-sized area in the frame, unable to move his eyes away.

Xia Jianjing turned outside as he walked, and almost stepped on the curb several times, so Lu Zai had to reach out and grab his elbow, dragging Xia Jianjing forward like a disobedient husky.

Xia Jianjing stepped into the tree pit again, but luckily Lu Zai dragged him, otherwise he would have crashed into a tree in the next second, causing the plane to crash and kill everyone.

Lu Zai couldn't bear it anymore, and asked Xia Jianjing, "Can you look at the road?"

Xia Jianjing smiled at Lu Zai and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Lu Zai turned his head away from him and said, "Who told you, I'm afraid you'll crash the camera."

Xia Jianjing was short-handed, and what Lu Zai said was true, so it was difficult for him to refute.

"No, I'm paying attention," Xia Jianjing touched the camera lovingly, "If it really crashes, I will definitely feel more distressed than you."

After Xia Jianjing finished speaking, he put away the camera and walked in a decent manner.The speed of the two people's feet accelerated, and they reached the Big Wild Goose Pagoda after bypassing a street.

There is actually nothing interesting in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Xia Jianjing is neither a history buff nor a Buddhist. There are seven tower rooms in total, but none of them is of interest to him.Lu Zai didn't look at those Buddhist scriptures, relics and golden footprints, but just walked up all the way, straight to the top of the pagoda.

Xia Jianjing followed Lu Zai step by step with his camera in his arms. Others bought tickets and took photos with them from the door. They didn't miss any of the inscriptions, inscriptions, and brick walls, but they were lucky enough to spend money to climb Stairs for exercise.

The area of ​​the tower room gradually decreases from bottom to top. The top floor is surrounded by stone windows, which is not as tall as the nearby high-rise residential buildings. The light is a little dark, and the sight line is not good.

Xia Jianjing didn't know what Lu Zai was up to, so he chose such a poor place to shoot the scene.With his camera in his hand, he took a few photos of the bird's-eye view, deleted, deleted, and subtracted, but he was not very satisfied.

Lu Zai stood by the window with his back to Xia Jianjing. The stone window was not big, and when Lu Zai punched it there, he seemed to stand upright.

Xia Jianjing couldn't find a suitable scene, so he put away the camera and stood over.

Lu Zai moved half a step to the side, leaving half of the window for Xia Jianjing, and when Xia Jianjing approached, he could only see a mixed-style building.

In fact, it's not just this area, City X as a whole is adopting a mix-and-match style, with half ancient and half new, with high-rise buildings lined up in the historic sites, and the rapid modernization has preserved traces of the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties to the maximum extent.

The scenery was not attractive, Xia Jianjing withdrew his gaze and looked at Lu Zai's stern profile.

For some reason, Xia Jianjing felt that Lu Zai was not very interested. Although he talked and laughed with him along the way, he always felt that the smile was only superficial.Especially after entering the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Lu Zai didn't say a word, and his expression was extremely lonely.

"At the same table," the place is too small, the shoulders of the two are almost touching each other, Xia Jianjing can touch Lu Zai with a slight movement, "What are you thinking?"

Lu Zai raised the corner of his mouth perfunctorily, "Simple in a daze."

Xia Jianjing raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't believe it, "But why do I think you're not in a good mood?"

Lu Zai found it strange that when his mood changed, Xia Jianjing could smell it keenly before he even noticed it.The last time he told Xia Jianjing to "get out" with anger, he wisely ran far away, and finally lost his temper and refused to come back; but when he was depressed or softened, Xia Jianjing became irresistible The dog skin plaster, although annoying, is very ironic.

"It's not very good," said Lu Zai rare, "I like to stay here when I'm in a bad mood."

"Here? Is it inside the Big Wild Goose Pagoda?" Xia Jianjing couldn't understand the hobbies of rich people at all, and bought a ticket just to stand here?

Lu Zai stared into the distance, and said softly, "Yes."

The top of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is another place for Lu Zai to vent his emotions besides Sunfish's homepage.He just came to City X two years ago, and he went to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda once a week on average.

He had nothing to say to Qin Hongyang and Rui Su, but there was a lot of pain in his heart. He thought about finding a psychiatrist, but to a real person, even if the other party signed a non-disclosure agreement, the cause and effect of these pains He still dare not say.

He was afraid that once he said it, he would become the king's rabbit ears, and everyone would know that he had a ghost in his heart.

In desperation, he even did the absurd thing of praying to gods and worshiping Buddha. He basically visited all the big and small temples in X City, some with few pilgrims, and some with crowds of abbots.He is more devout than anyone else, holding incense and knelt down in front of the Buddha statue, silently pouring out those past events in his heart.

But it was still useless. When he stood up, the burden was still firmly on his back, without any relief.

Later, once he bumped into the top of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda by mistake, he stood in front of the window like this, the scenery was not good, the light was not good, and his mood was not good, but he got an inexplicable feeling in the shadow. calm.

It took him more than two years to slowly control the monster in his body. Recently, Kang Qi provoked it twice and again, and it seemed that there were signs of relapse. Coupled with the bloody Lu Yuanming in the nightmare, he felt I can't stand it any longer.

Lu Zai turned around and leaned against the window, put his backhand on the edge of the window, stared at Xia Jianjing, and suddenly thought of pouring out.

Lu Zai asked: "Do you like to eat Dai cuisine?"

"Ah?" Xia Jianjing looked at his watch, it was not yet eleven o'clock, "Are you hungry?"

Lu Zai looked at Xia Jianjing and asked, "Can you accompany me?"

Xia Jianjing eats soft food but not hard food, his throat tightened, and he stretched out his hand to hold Lu Zai's cold fingers, "Dai, Dai-Dai cuisine, right? Let's go now."

Although the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is boring, the square around it is full of food, drink, and entertainment. The south square is more prosperous, surrounded by a circle of one-way streets, full of people, busy traffic, and the dark and quiet top of the tower. .

Lu Zai still took Xia Jianjing to walk there, at first he walked on the sidewalk, and then passed a bar street with exaggerated pictures painted on the brick walls, Xia Jianjing couldn't help poking his head inside.

Lu Zai didn't stop, turned a corner and led him into a maze-like alley. The buildings on both sides were mostly wooden structures, and there were restaurants with different characteristics. There were all eight major cuisines, as well as taverns with simple decorations and Haidilao is the same all over the country, it is simply a paradise for diners, you can find anything you want to eat.

Lu Zai stood in front of a small two-story stilted building, on which was hung a plaque with gold characters on a blue background, with the words "Dai Family Building".

Lu Zai said, "Then this one."

Lu Zai sat down by the window, making tea and hot cups, and reported the names of several dishes, without touching the menu handed over by the waiter from the beginning to the end.

Xia Jianjing thought to himself, it seems that Lu Zai is a frequent visitor here.And the price of vegetables here is not cheap, Xia Jianjing clicked his tongue, he began to feel that Lu Zai's black short sleeves were shining, he was simply a dandy who enjoyed life.

The waitress who took the order smiled while covering her mouth, then folded her hands in front of her belly and bowed slightly.

The waitress said: "I'm sorry sir, we will adjust the menu regularly according to the tastes of customers. We stopped making the other three items you ordered several years ago. At present, we only have mango and stir-fried square beans."

Lu Zai's face froze, and he pushed the menu on the table to Xia Jianjing, "Look, order whatever you want."

Lu Zai took a sip of his tea and turned his head to look out the window.

Seeing Lu Zai slumped, Xia Jianjing also wanted to laugh. He covered his face with the menu, looked at the pictures and clicked a few, but his voice couldn't hide his smile, causing Lu Zai to turn around and stare at him.

After the waitress left, Xia Jianjing was still biting her lip, shaking like she had Parkinson's.

Lu Zai didn't bother to argue with him, "Laugh if you want."

"At the same table, you have a really good memory." Xia Jianjing winked at him, teasing him with a smile, "Which peerless beauty did you come with before, and you have such a deep impression?"

"My parents," Lu Zai lowered his eyes, "They accompany me on my seventh birthday."

Xia Jianjing stopped laughing for a moment, pinching the paper towel on the table and rubbing it, feeling a little sorry.

"At the same table," Xia Jianjing sat down and lightly touched Lu Zai's arm, "I... I didn't mean it."

"It's okay, I want to thank you for being with me." Lu Zai turned his head and smiled at him, "Today is my birthday."
