Lu Yi didn't know about Jiang Shui's death, and although Plan A was a complete failure, to everyone's surprise, Xiao Yi actually unveiled the mystery of the stealth torpedo by himself, which can probably be called an unexpected joy! Because of this incident, Xiao Yi began to be reused by the senior management of the research institute, and he was gradually asked to participate in the research and development of some large-scale scientific research weapons, and he soared all the way.

After work, he would also take off his silver-rimmed glasses, look at the foggy night outside the window, and think helplessly and hopefully: "Jiang Shui, what is the reason for ignoring me again? Her phone is also down, could it be that something happened? Or is she still angry with me and willing to take the risk to help me steal documents, which means that she cares about me, but the stupid girl is still angry with me, right?"

He rubbed his temples quite rhythmically, and his head was a mess again, he didn't dare to think, he didn't dare to think, he didn't dare to think about it, it was wrong to think about it, it was better to be convinced that she was in love with him, it was better to keep being angry like this, and forget about each other in the rivers and lakes from now on.

However, he still booked a plane ticket, and on the day of the Qingming Festival, Xiao Yi packed his luggage at home and was ready to rush to the airport, and a phone call came unexpectedly, which was Uncle Xu's.

"Xiao Yi, there's nothing to do on the Qingming Festival, let's go and see the seniors with us, it's in the cemetery on Muzi Mountain. ”

Xiao Yi pursed his lips and looked at the suitcase on the ground, he really wanted to refuse immediately, but there was an almost begging voice on the other side of the phone: "I, I'm going to go back to my hometown with your aunt on the Qingming Festival, and there is a project that still needs to be hard for you to help me take over, just as a big favor for my uncle, okay?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yi's hesitation disappeared in an instant, Uncle Xu had seen it when he returned to his hometown, he had a large group of relatives at home, and the net was all over Taiwan, didn't he take a two-week leave last time?

In this way, the only plan to go back to Japan to visit Jiang Shui also failed, and with the ticket in his hand, he secretly scolded himself for deserving it, and had a premonition that the reunion with Jiang Shui would be far away.

Although the Qingming Festival is not a festive festival, it has a very heavy weight in the minds of the Chinese people, everyone rushed home to sweep the tombs, and the institute was empty, like abandoned old clothes in the wardrobe, a lonely and lonely.

Xiao Yi sat alone in the information laboratory on the fourth floor, and at the end was Zibei's studio.

Before lunch, he suddenly decided to go and see it, with no intention, but suddenly decided to go and see it, as if he hadn't been to that place for a long time.

Zibei's hands kept tapping on the keyboard, and the sound attracted him to stop outside the door, and he stopped for a long time before he straightened the corners of his clothes and walked in solemnly.

Zibei heard the footsteps, looked up and was stunned, and saw Lu Yi's face, a little surprised, and even more full of surprise.

"You, don't you have a holiday?" Zibei stared at him stupidly.

Xiao Yi was a little uncomfortable with her, and wanted to avoid her gaze, but she was so hot that he had to face it. "Yes, I have something left to do. He almost told the fact that he didn't have any relatives to worship here, but he held back, and it was better not to let her know too much of his past.

"Okay, would you like some hot water?" Zibei stood up, and the water in the water dispenser was boiling for a while, and then quiet again, and so on, and so on, that people had to notice it.

"No need. He waved his hand and came closer.

People who haven't been here for a long time are always used to looking around, and suddenly, Xiao Yi seemed to find something to be happy about, and his two eyes suddenly lit up, you know, this kind of look will only appear when he breaks through difficulties and explores scientific research results.

"Is this iron tree the one I once asked someone to move?" he said, pointing to it beside him, an expression of disbelief.

"Yes, you sent it! When you sent it last year, the leaves turned yellow, I looked at it and felt more distressed, is it a new look now, I can't believe it at all?" Zibei walked over, glad that the two finally had a topic to communicate, all along, Xiao Yi's status in her heart was high, it was a noble like a scientist that could not be offended.

Xiao Yi looked approving, and he said gratefully: "Thanks to your care, I didn't expect that you still have this strength!"

"Don't be so polite!" As she spoke, Zibei had already picked up a cup of hot tea, and the mouth of the cup was bubbling with a hot light green fragrance. "Tieguanyin, you can taste it!"

Xiao Yi took the water, he was actually not too thirsty, but he had been hungry for a long time, he had been bored and lonely because of the boredom and loneliness of his work, but at this time, seeing Tie Shu's thriving appearance, his mood became inexplicably cheerful, and he invited her without timidity: "Is the work almost done? Let's go to lunch together, I'll have a treat." ”

How could he say the invitation so quietly.

"Really?" Zibei's tears almost came out, did he really want to invite me to dinner? In order to find out that she was not dreaming, she took advantage of the moment when Lu Yi drank water, and pinched her ass fiercely, it hurt! Sure enough, it wasn't fake! She closed the computer, quickly packed her backpack, and went with him.

So, the two of them went to eat alone for those days.

Sometimes he thinks, this girl is not bad, he is a boring person, it is also a kind of fun to have a lively, chattering friend by his side, he will sometimes be afraid, afraid that he will be lonely like this, something will really happen, the most important thing, she will take care of the iron tree, this girl can bring the yellowed iron tree back to life, it is enough for him to admire, impressive.

He went to the translation room more and more often, just as he couldn't help but think of her. The relationship between the two is getting closer and closer, and the colleagues in the institute will also wish them well, and occasionally, they will joke about it.

Three years later, one summer, the Iron Tree finally blossomed.

In the translation room, the afternoon sun slanted through the windows, spilling over the entire white wall. He hugged her waist from behind, looked out the window and whispered, "The iron tree has bloomed, thank you." ”

"I would also like to thank you for giving me a taste of the pain and joy of waiting for it to blossom. Zibei closed her eyes, desperately feeling the temperature in his chest. "You know what? Xinyue resigned, she got an offer from a university in the United States, I think she is really amazing!" "When she thinks of Xinyue, Zibei is full of praise, because Xinyue is a very motivated girl, and she will put in a lot of effort for what she likes.

"I know that she is different from you, she is a doer and a doer. ”

"Ahh

"There is a promising faction, which means that everything is done by believing that action will be effective, and rarely paying attention to whether the timing is right. His speech is now much gentler and more patient, and occasionally a little naughty, which is probably called mutual affection.

"Okay, it's too profound, but I think that no matter whether you are promising, a girl of her character is suitable for being a brave climber, right?"

"You've finally said something that listens to you. ”

"Hey, didn't I like what I said before?" Zibei was a little angry, she reached out her little hand and pinched his chin hard.

"Does it hurt, does it hurt?" she asked him demonstratively, stretching her fingers, for so many days, he had become accustomed to her little temper.

Xiao Yi didn't speak, except for Zibei's voice in the room, it was the whimper of the air conditioner, he suddenly grabbed her hand, put it to his mouth and whispered: "Let's get married." ”
