Since An An left, Lin Xiao has no interest in engaging in artificial intelligence anymore, and originally wanted to close the VEX club, but in late autumn she refused, she always felt that artificial intelligence was a very promising field, so even in Lin Xiao's most decadent half a year, she still persevered, and rehired two programmers, Bo Yingjun and Qi Zhiwei also slowly reconstructed the previous mechanical diagram and circuit diagram.

After the project was a little eyebrow-giving, late autumn immediately applied for a patent, and with the protection of intellectual property rights, An An and David could only use the programs they developed at most, but the mechanical diagram and circuit diagram could no longer be used.

Lin Xiao was called home to accompany his grandfather for his birthday that day, and Wanqiu was also invited, but she really didn't want to see Lin Qianying, so she found a reason to refuse, and Lin Xiao didn't force her, and went back alone.

Late autumn was idle and bored and went to the VEX club, since the formal relationship with Lin Xiao, Lin Wei's attitude towards the late autumn is particularly good, He Mutian is also very happy to see the two of them together, and he has already separated from the Lin family, but for the sake of his daughter, now he often runs to the Lin family, for a while he accompanies the old man to play chess, for a while he accompanies the old man to raise flowers and grass, and intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the artificial intelligence club that the two children are engaged in, although the old man is old, but his business mind is still good, he also thinks this is a good field, so he and He Mutian summed it up, and both sides invested a sum of money。

Because of the abundance of money, several capable programmers were recruited from abroad in the late autumn, and the first generation of simple machine models has basically come out, and only some finishing work remains.

"Miss He, I cleaned the room two days ago, I smelled a peculiar smell in this bedroom, and I didn't dare to open the door to enter, I asked Mr. Lin yesterday, he didn't say anything, does this room need to be cleaned?" Seeing that late autumn was coming, he hurriedly asked her.

Late autumn walked into An An's bedroom and sniffed it, and there was indeed a strange smell, like the smell of fermented food.

She hesitated for a moment and said to Aunt Fan: "Let's clean it up, in case there is really moldy food, I'm afraid that there will be worms after a long time." ”

Aunt Fan happily responded, and hurriedly went to get the key to open the door, the room was not too dirty, but there was indeed a smell of fermentation, late autumn helped Aunt Fan to find it carefully, it turned out to be a bag of open potato chips, hesitated to put it for too long and it was moldy, and the potato chips were surrounded by ants and cockroaches.

"Let's clean up this place. Late autumn looked at the room, An An didn't have many things left, basically everything that could be taken away, only some medals and cups and other heavy things that could not be taken away.

Aunt Fan immediately came in with a broom and mop to clean, because no one came in for a long time, there were cobwebs in the corners of the room, Aunt Fan had to stand on the stool, sweeping around, late autumn saw a red mug on the bedside table, from the appearance of clean and clean, afraid that Aunt Fan would stain it when sweeping the ashes, so she walked over and picked up the cup, who knew that there were some residues in the cup that had not been eaten before, the food had fermented for a long time, and it turned into green web-like bubbles, which looked very disgusting, and it was crawling with ants。

Coincidentally, Lin Xiao came back early, and when he saw the door of An An's bedroom open, he walked in, and happened to see the scene of breaking the cup in late autumn, and his face was terrifyingly blue.

Aunt Fan didn't know the severity, and ran over with a broom: "How long has this been the food residue, it's dirty, Miss He, you go over a little, I'll clean it up." "Then take the broom and sweep the glass.

"Who let you in? Lin Xiaotie walked up with a blushing face, pushed away Aunt Fan's broom, picked up the half of the cup with a handle like a treasure, put it in front of Wanqiu's eyes, and asked, "Who let you touch this cup?" ”

Seeing Lin Xiao's face in late autumn, he already knew that this cup might have some special meaning for him and An An, and wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only bow his head and say sorry in the end.

"Get out. Lin Xiao closed his eyes and looked very painful: "Give me all the way." “

Wanqiu didn't dare to say anything more, and pulled Aunt Fan out. Aunt Fan felt a little guilty, and Wanqiu comforted: "It's okay, the door of this room always needs to be cleaned after all, you give him a little time." ”

"That's... That cup?" Aunt Fan was embarrassed.

"It's okay, I'll take care of it, you go and prepare dinner first. "Since An An left, it was Aunt Fan who took care of them for three meals a day.

When he returned to the door of An An's room in late autumn, he saw Lin Xiao holding the cup and looking at it for a long time, even if an ant climbed into his hand, he was reluctant to put it down.

Wanqiu knew that he had never completely let go of An An, so she kept locking the door of the room where she once lived, and she opened the door, in fact, to reveal his scars.

Lin Xiao stayed alone in the room for a long time, and Wanqiu stood outside the door with him until he came back to his senses from the past world, and saw that Wanqiu was still standing at the door with him, remembering the fire he had just sent to her, he felt guilty, but now he really didn't have the strength to coax her, so he stood up, didn't look at Wanqiu, and walked out of the club without looking back.

Late Autumn walked into the room and picked up the broken quilt, which was fine, but it was only broken in half, and as long as you use super glue, you should be able to reassemble it.

Wanqiu cleaned the cup, and then tried to glue the broken parts with super glue, the notch of the ceramic cup was a little sharp, and Wanqiu's hand was pricked a few times, but because the cup itself was red, her blood couldn't be seen at all, and it didn't take long for the cup to be glued again.

Looking at the long slit on the cup, there is also a very desolate feeling in the heart of the late autumn, the so-called broken mirror reunion is a lie, the glass is broken, no matter how pasted it will leave traces of splicing, and then it can't go back to the original intact happiness.

She finished repairing the cup, put it back on the bedside table in An An'an's bedroom, locked the door again, and then left the club under the sympathetic gaze of Bo Yingjun and others.

For several days, Lin Xiao didn't look for her again, after a long time, Late Autumn was a little uneasy, and he would take the initiative to send him a message or two, and all he got was a very simple reply of a few words, and if there was a reply, it meant that he was fine, and Late Autumn was relieved, he just needed time to forget.

Although Wanqiu tried to understand him from Lin Xiao's point of view, there was still a faint sadness in his heart, and in his heart, he was afraid that she and An An were still far behind.

It has been two weeks since she saw Lin Xiao again in late autumn, she got off work from the law firm, and was about to take a taxi back, and found that Lin Xiao's car was parked in the parking space where he had parked for a long time, and he did not sit in the car, but stood against the car door, looked at his mobile phone for a while, and then looked up in the direction of the late autumn law firm, and saw that late autumn went downstairs, he hurriedly ran over from across the road, looked at late autumn, and the words of apology that had been brewing for a long time came to his lips but could not be said: "Are you hungry? Let's go have some supper together?"

Wanqiu nodded, took the initiative to take Lin Xiao's hand, and said as if nothing had happened: "Tang Shanshan said that there is a very delicious Hainan chicken rice near here, and there is a long queue every night, let's go and see, if the line is too long, forget it?"

Lin Xiao pulled Wanqiu's hand off his arm, and when Wanqiu's eyes were gloomy and there was an urge to cry in his heart, Lin Xiao stretched out his hand, firmly hugged her into his arms, and gently kissed her on the forehead: "Tell me what you want to eat in the future, and I'll help you line up." ”

Late autumn burst into tears and smiled, and nodded very obediently: "Okay." ”

As a result, because there were too many people in line for Hainanese chicken rice, Late Autumn had always been reluctant to spend too much time waiting for such things as eating, so they went to the landscape restaurant near Victoria Harbour.

As they are regular customers, the restaurant manager has reserved two spots with the best views for them, so that they can see the bright lights of Victoria Harbour and the surrounding high-rise buildings at a glance.

"I went to the mainland for the past two weeks. Lin Xiao confessed: "After An An left, because the police had no way to officially file a case, I found a private detective to investigate, and I also found several ones." ”

Late Autumn stirred the pasta on the plate and didn't speak.

"Actually, I went back to the club early on my grandfather's birthday to tell you that I have news from them, and I want to go to the mainland once. Lin Xiao said apologetically: "I'm sorry that day, I didn't mean to be angry with you, it's just that cup..."

"It doesn't matter. Wanqiu raised her head and smiled pretending not to care: "It was my bad that day, and I went in without your permission." ”

Lin Xiao held Wanqiu's hand and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I was in a bad mood that day, I promise that I won't treat you with that attitude again in the future." ”

"It's okay to say it. Wanqiu gently patted Lin Xiao's hand and soothed: "I'm not a porcelain doll, I will break when I touch it, and I am not a glass heart, by the way, did you find them in the mainland?"

"No, it's a step too late. Lin Xiao said indignantly: "Before I went, they were picked up. ”

"Who's going to pick them up?" your grandfather?" said Late Autumn thought something was wrong.

Lin Xiao shook his head: "It shouldn't be, since we dated, An An is no longer a threat to grandpa, and he won't put his mind on those unimportant people and things." ”

"That's strange, An An has nothing special except for interacting with you, although David has good programming, but there is no shortage of talents like him in the mainland, I have applied for a patent for our robot, and they have nothing to covet in their hands?"

"I also find it strange. Lin Xiao took a sip of red wine and said sullenly: "I originally wanted the private detective to help me investigate again, but..."

Lin Xiao stopped talking halfway through his words, staring deeply at Wanqiu, as if waiting for her to ask.

Late Autumn asked very cooperatively, "But what?"

"But I miss you so much, especially the few nights when I'm about to get back to Port City. Lin Xiao took Wanqiu's hand and gently kissed the back of her hand: "So it doesn't matter where An An is anymore, I don't want to check anymore, let her go, let the past be the past." ”

"Really?" Late Autumn felt a warm liquid flow from the corners of her eyes.

Lin Xiao nodded, and took out the red mug that had been glued to late autumn from the backpack he carried: "When I returned to the club, I saw this ugly cup, and I originally wanted Aunt Fan to help me throw it away, but Aunt Fan said that it took you a long time to remake it, and it was a pity to throw it away, so I kept it, not because of An An, but because of you." ”

"Can you really put it down?" said Late Autumn in disbelief.

"It would have been hard. Lin Xiao looked at Wanqiu and said very sincerely: "But because of you, I think I've let go." ”

In late autumn, I felt that my eyes were wet, and my vision was a little blurry.

"Silly girl, what are you crying about. Lin Xiao took out a tissue and wiped her tears.

That night, without any suspense, Late Autumn stayed in Lin Xiao's apartment, and after tossing for most of the night, Lin Xiao hugged Late Autumn, although he couldn't do anything anymore in terms of physical strength, but the two of them were very excited and couldn't sleep at all.

"We've been together for a long time, I don't think my grandfather and uncle have any objections, do you think I should go to the United States to meet Aunt Xiaolei?" Lin Xiao thought in his heart that he would meet his parents first, and then take advantage of the fact that the relationship between his grandfather and uncle was quite harmonious during this time, and put the engagement on the agenda, and get married as soon as he graduated from college.

Obviously, Lin Xiao felt that Late Autumn's body stiffened, and he said nervously: "Is Aunt Xiaolei still angry with me about what happened when we were children?" If he hadn't fought with someone at school back then, Aunt Xiaolei and Late Autumn would not have been sent away.

"No, I don't. Wanqiu said vaguely: "My mother has not been in good health in the past two years, I think it's better not to bother her if there's nothing to do, and besides, we haven't graduated yet, let's talk about these things after graduation." ”

"You... Don't want to go back to the United States?" Lin Xiao asked cautiously: "... Is it because of that kid?"

Late Autumn didn't answer, she didn't know how to answer, so she had to close her eyes and pretend to sleep.

Lin Xiao also found that he had asked something he shouldn't have asked, so he didn't say much, hugging the late autumn, still full of worries.
