The dim light illuminated the wood-colored bench, and the heat rose faintly under the light, and the two figures sat side by side, tall figures.

Brother Nan was enjoying the food, and Zhou Li was watching from the side.

A gust of wind blew, carrying a moist coolness, and also brought up the fallen leaves on the ground that had not had time to be cleaned, as if to say that summer was over. However, Zhou Li had little feeling about this summer, and it was only when Zheng Zhilan was there that he felt the scorching heat of midsummer during the labor process. In addition, it seems that all I remember is a few rains, a big flood, and every morning the alarm clock goes off, rings, and it ends.

"Why don't you take it back to the bedroom to eat?" Zhou Li's voice was very small.

"There are a lot of people in the dormitory, so I'll finish grabbing it later. Brother Nan muttered, shaking his head as he spoke, as if he was very reluctant to accept that result, but this head-shaking action really made her look cute.

"Why are you picking so much......

"Where's the pick?"

"Aren't you very generous?"

"This is different!" Brother Nan shook his head again, as if he didn't want to explain more to him, "I can't finish eating later, so I'll give them some leftovers." ”

"Oh. ”

Then they probably won't be able to eat.

Zhou Li pursed his lips and didn't ask any more, only looked at the leaves on the ground and said, "It's autumn in the blink of an eye......"

"What's wrong?"

Brother Nan turned his head and glanced at him: "Isn't it so cold at night in Chunming?"

"Leaves. ”

"Oh ...... that"

Brother Nan glanced at him again: "It's the New Year in the blink of an eye!"

Not......

It seems to be the same.

Zhou Li felt that time passed really fast, and in this extremely fast time, if he and the world around him were still changing very much, subjectively he felt even faster.

If you think about it, last year and this year, there have been so many changes.

Last year, he didn't know anything about youkai, and he even had a feeling that no one in the whole world knew about the existence of youkai except himself, but this year he was about to witness the establishment of the Heavenly Master Department, although he didn't feel involved in this process. At the same time, there are many major events that were unimaginable in the surface world, and people only feel sudden when they look back.

When Brother Nan was immersed in hard work, Zhou Li thought silently.

Until Brother Nan slapped him awake: "What are you thinking?

"I'm thinking...... I don't know what it will be like in the future. ”

"In the future, take your time in the future, what's the hurry?" Brother Nan's mentality has always been very good, "Anyway, people live for so many decades, watch it slowly, and after watching it, you will kick your legs and ascend to heaven!"

"You're right. ”

"Don't worry, Brother Ben Nan will watch it with you!" I will always cover you!" Brother Nan patted him on the shoulder proudly, but in a blink of an eye, she looked down at the soup on the plate again, and said reluctantly, "You should bring another steamed bun, this soup is a pity." ”

"Thank you, Brother Nan, for covering me. ”

"What should be ......"

I always feel that the conversation with Brother Nan is a bit official.

After getting up, the two sides parted.

However, before parting, as a thank you, Brother Nan left a little oil stain on Zhou Li's face.

......

Monday, morning.

Full class.

Zhou Li stayed at home, waiting for the distinguished guests to come to the door.

This is one of the few times he was not taken by Brother Nan to skip class, but this distinguished guest today is a little unusual - Yin Le greeted him in advance, and the one who came with him today is the future minister of the Heavenly Master Department, and the person who came to the door in person was enough to express his respect for Zhou Li and his own sincerity, so although the other party said very kindly that he could wait for him to have no class, he still chose to skip class.

Human, mutual.

At about nine o'clock, the doorbell rang.

Tuanzi was the first to hear it, and immediately ran to the gate, shouting as he ran: "Someone is coming!

Click.

The door opened.

The ball fell from the doorknob and squatted by the door, looking up at the three people at the door without blinking.

Zhou Li walked quickly behind her, a little helpless.

He had already told Tuanzi that when he heard movement outside the door, he couldn't open the door casually, so as not to be caught by the bad guys and stewed into cat broth. But Tuanzi always nodded and agreed well at that time, and when he turned his head, he forgot about it. If you want to blame her, she will say that she is a great monster and is not afraid of bad people.

It's inconvenient to talk about her now, so Zhou Li had to kick her lightly with his foot, tell her to get out of the way, and then welcome the people outside the door in.

"Hello hello...... Please come in, please come in. ”

"Excuse me?"

"Nothing. ”

Zhou Li quietly looked at the three people who came.

Yin Le actually wore a formal suit, it fits very well, and the texture looks very good, obviously it was customized at a great price, and it looks like new. It makes him look heroic and human...... Usually he wears ripped jeans.

A middle-aged man, also dressed in a suit, looks a little fierce, but he smiles.

Behind him was a slightly younger man, like a secretary.

Yin Le introduced the two: "This is our future minister, surnamed Zhang, and this is the minister's secretary, surnamed Luo...... This is Zhou Li. ”

"Minister Zhang, Secretary Luo is good. ”

"Well, don't be so polite, let's just talk, I like to talk to young people. Minister Zhang said with a smile, the face was also a little softer, with a little accent of Mandarin, it seemed more affinity, "When I used to chat with the young people in the unit, they all said that I was similar to my peers. ”

"Okay. ”

Zhou Li felt that maybe the leaders talked like this, and those friends in Lao Zhou's business also liked to say this, pretending that he was also a young man...... Although their status is not at the same level.

At this time, Minister Zhang continued: "What's more, my minister is only temporary, I don't understand any of this, I just bring it first, and I still have to hand it over to you young people in the future...... By the way, Zhou Li, have you joined the party?"

"Nope. ”

"Then let's call Minister Zhang for the time being...... Don't worry too much about that. ”

"Oh, sit down here. ”

"Good, good...... The house is quite clean, cleaner than mine. Minister Zhang looked at Zhou Li's living room, "Did you get all these decorations?"

"Yes. ”

"Beautiful! The young man has a good aesthetic! and he is also diligent!"

"It's all swept by sweeping robots. ”

"Technology is developed. ”

"Yes. ”

Because the sofa was not enough, Yin Le sat down on a bench next to him, looking a little anxious - he had the feeling that Zhou Li was charging by the word when he spoke.

Slightly comforting, Minister Zhang didn't seem to care, but looked at a few pottery items on the TV cabinet.

"These pottery pieces are very well done, and they are very similar to the style of cultural relics unearthed in the Han Dynasty. Minister Zhang seems to have studied this, "You also did it yourself?"

"A friend did. ”

"Oh, love the history of the Han Dynasty!"

"He was from the Han Dynasty. ”

“......”

This kind of dimensionality reduction attack almost choked Minister Zhang, who has studied history, but he quickly eased up: "There are many omissions in ancient history, and it is estimated that it will not be solved if you want to release it before, but now I have to discuss it with him when I have time." ”

Zhou Li glanced at the afterglow——

Huai Xu was standing at the door of his second bedroom, leaning against the door frame and watching them, but he didn't show up, he wanted to save his energy to go out with them, so only Yin Le could see him.

So he said vaguely: "He probably doesn't understand very well." ”

Minister Zhang waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it's okay to chat casually, mainly in those previous eras, we can basically only understand from the limited book records, and deduct from those classical Chinese...... Therefore, a picture of the river during the Qingming Festival is so precious, and the Dream of Red Mansions is worthy of so many people to study, if there is a person of that era who narrates it personally, it will definitely be different. ”

"Yes. ”

Zhou Li was a little puzzled, what is this talking about?

He was a little anxious.

At this time, the future minister saw a 'bowl' on the coffee table, and knew that it was a bowl because it contained a few grains of satay beef.

Out of affirmation of the Han Dynasty figures, the minister was a little uncertain, and hesitated: "This appliance is chic......"

"This is my cat pinching it while I'm not home. ”

“......”

The minister laughed a few times, and then got back to business: "You also listened to Comrade Yin Le, I came this time, it is indeed because we have just learned about this, our ministry has just been established, and there is a shortage of talents......

Zhou Li bowed his head slightly: "The ambition is not here." ”

In front of everyone, the dumplings jumped on the coffee table, walked on the coffee table as if no one was around, walked from the edge to the middle, and then buried his head in the chic utensils and ate the beef cubes, and turned his head to ask others if they ate it.

Zhou Li quietly waved his hand to her, indicating that he didn't need to.

Only then did the dumplings retract their gaze and eat by themselves.

Minister Zhang let out a long sigh of kindness, and his eyes were also aimed at the group: "I also have a cat at home, this little thing is very cute, when my daughter just brought it back, I said I didn't like it, and then I was closer than my daughter, and my daughter was jealous......"

"Meow!"

"Hmm. ”

Zhou Li ignored Tuanzi's words, he was afraid that he would tell the minister that this was a demon, and the minister would be suspicious of his cats and doubtful life, especially when he walked into the street and saw cats and dogs all over the street.

And his afterglow saw that Yin Le's face was also full of confusion.

At this time, the minister said: "Actually, if we say anything, we still hope that you can participate in the construction of the Heavenly Master Department...... At this time, our department has just started, the burden is very heavy, and we also understand your ability, the country needs you very much, or as Comrade Yin Le and several other junior comrades said, our entire human race needs you very much to maintain this balance. ”

"If they provoke a war, I will stand up. Zhou Li said honestly, "But I'm really a lazy person, my ambition is not on this, and my future planning has nothing to do with these." ”

"I've learned all of this......

Yin Le, who was on the side, listened, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, Zhou Li finally said a long sentence.

He was really afraid that Zhou Li would leave an arrogant impression on the minister.
