Chapter 6 Dinner at the Hotel
"Do you want to go?" Wang Chennan felt that this proposal seemed to be a little inappropriate, and asked Shi Yi's opinion, "It's okay, I haven't had dinner yet," Shi Yi didn't mind if he went, "There is a request, can you visit your laboratory first?" It's hard to walk through the barriers, and it's a shame not to take a look. ”
Jiang Xiaoye originally just wanted to try her luck, but she agreed without thinking about it, and immediately took the initiative to ask Ying to take her to visit the laboratory; Wang Chennan happily handed it to him, and then took out a stack of materials that needed to be signed, and only said that he had to deal with the rest of the work and give me ten minutes. Shi Yi sensed his snubbing and followed Jiang Xiaoye out of the door, listening to him enthusiastically introduce the various laboratories he walked through, but Shi Yi just smiled politely and said very little. She was afraid that if she came here without permission, would it make him feel rude.
She has never been so willful, and once in a while, she is a little apprehensive. In the end, she only remembered the name: Electrical Insulation and Thermal Aging Laboratory. At least he understood what he was doing. "We have the only large-scale box-type aging equipment in China that can carry out the combined aging test of thermoelectric with a maximum voltage of 60kV and a maximum temperature of 200°C." She nodded, oh, she basically didn't understand.
As a result, even Jiang Xiaoye could see her mood, and said with a stupid smile: "Teacher Wang Chen is like this to everyone, as if he has nothing to do with anyone, don't care too much." She snorted: "I can see it, what he does depends on his mood, when he wants to deal with you, he will say a few more words, and if he doesn't want to deal with you, he will not speak at all, and he will be completely ruthless." "Yes, that's it" Jiang Xiaoye was busy, she smiled: "He has always been like this." "Have you known Teacher Wang Chen for a long time?" He Shan was curious, "I thought you just met." Shi Yi didn't say anything, and finally clarified when he walked to the hall on the first floor with him: "It's not a long time, I met by chance at Suzhou Railway Station half a year ago, and I haven't met much later." ”
Shi Yi is not a person who is good at socializing, fortunately, there are not many people who come to eat, about five or six, because they are not Xi'an locals, so they stayed here on the weekend, they found a hotel very close to the institute, asked for a small private room, some were responsible for ordering and greeting, and some were chatting with Shi Yi enthusiastically. gourd chicken, mushroom peach kernel double crispy, warm mixed loin; The dishes on the table are all the famous dishes of Xi'an that she has heard people talk about, but they really haven't tasted them yet.
There are many types of beauties, most of them belong to their own eyes, some people are rare and some people disdain. Shi Yi is the kind of most recognized beauties, and she has the appearance of a country and a city, plus she has a good temper, and when almost all the dishes come up, she is already familiar with these people in the laboratory, which is quite popular with everyone. Wang Chennan sat next to her, always explaining tonight's experiment to a graduate student next to her. She bit her chopsticks and tasted it, while listening to these people talk about the world she had never been in contact with, and everyone's topic quickly turned to Wang Chennan, the strangest thing was that except for Jiang Xiaoye, they all seemed to be not familiar with him, and even asked some questions that would only be asked when they met for the first time. However, according to Wang Chennan's temperament, it is not difficult to understand, don't look at him has been in Xi'an for more than a month, maybe he really hasn't said anything to these people here. He answered a lot of questions very politely, Shi Yi also listened carefully, and she wanted to know everything about him very much. In the end, everyone was a little embarrassed to ask, and finally a girl ended with a smile: "I heard the dean say that there are many places to invite Teacher Zhou Sheng, why did you think of coming here?" ”
"There are some things at home that require me to return to China," Wang Chennan said, "just by the way." The invitation from scientific research institutions, for him, was "just a stop-by". It's obviously very uncomfortable, but he said it very honestly, which added another layer of worship to everyone, and Shi Yi also felt that he should be like this. As a result, everyone besieged Zhou Shengchen, and the topic quickly and smoothly put on her: "What do you do Shi Yi?" "Interviewer"; A simple question and answer, and then continued, "Then do you usually see a lot of celebrities?" "Actors? It's often seen that it's like an industry, they're just a small part of the scene, and there are many, many people behind the scenes who work with them, in fact, everyone is the same. "In completely different worlds, when you hear each other's realms, you will feel very mysterious, and you will not get bored with it.
The researchers, who found her profession interesting, asked all kinds of questions. But she reminisced about the dishes she had just eaten, and when she thought of which one was delicious, she went to her plate and savored it. When she was immersed in eating, she was always subconsciously listening to what Wang Chennan said, most of which were words she didn't understand, maybe they were all related to chemistry. The voice is different, the appearance is different, and everything in this life is different from the previous life, but she still can't help it, and wants to compare it between his gestures and find some clues by the way. Wang Chennan finally finished his work and glanced at Shi Yi, who put down his chopsticks: "Why do you eat so little?" She frowned slightly and looked at him: "It's a lot, it's just that you've been talking, and you can't see how much food I grabbed with them." He smiled and said, "The food here tastes really good." She sighed: "Yes, it's good, basically near the university, you can find a restaurant with a good taste." "Teacher Wang Chen, we were told by your friend that we all want to change careers," someone said with a smile, "how good, the job is to 'run around', not as hard as we do." Wang Chennan actually smiled and didn't say a word. Shi Yi was afraid that people would feel cold, so he took over the topic very understandingly and answered for him: "Tell you quietly, the visit will take a long time to learn and train." "So much trouble? Isn't it the same as a journalist? The other asked her curiously. It's not the same. Shi Yi suddenly put down his chopsticks seriously and explained in the curious eyes of everyone. It's so capricious to have a topic!
Halfway through the wine and food, someone took advantage of Wang Chennan's short absence from the table to ask Shi Yi with a smile if she was his girlfriend, she was stunned and didn't make a sound. Someone clarified for the two people: "Don't talk nonsense, I heard that Mr. Wang Chen has a fiancée." When the gossip heard this, he hurriedly said that he was embarrassed to her. Shi Yi didn't care anymore, and lowered his head to play with his phone, as if he was checking a text message. When saying goodbye after eating, Wang Chennan did not leave with everyone, but always stood by her side, and when everyone turned the corner noisily, he waved to stop a taxi, opened the back door for her and said, "I'll send you back to the hotel." Shi Yi sat in, he opened the front door and sat in the passenger seat.
Along the way, the driver was playing sad old songs, and the two of them were in the front and back rows, so naturally there would not be too much language communication. She looked at the night scene outside the window, and recalled what she had just said at the banquet, he already had a fiancée. Therefore, it should be like all ordinary people, in a normal trajectory, living a life of birth, old age, sickness and death, marrying a wife and having children. There is no difference and there will be no difference. In fact, she herself knows very well that in addition to seeing those strange past lives, she is no different from others, she is also born, old, sick and dead, until the end of the song and people disperse into reincarnation.
So Shi Yi, you are still too late in this life, maybe there are arrangements in the dark, whether in this life or in the previous life, he will not wait for you at all.
Shi Yi looked at the very clear sky, the night was still dark, the full moon was still there, and this was no longer the bustling Chang'an City with fresh clothes and angry horses. Wang Chennan, except for this name, everything has long been different. Until the two of them got out of the taxi, Wang Chennan stood outside the hotel gate and signaled goodbye. Shi Yi said goodbye, just took two steps, but turned around in a ghostly way, and he, still looking at herself, she walked back to him, and suddenly said, "Do you believe in fortune telling?" "In a certain sense, I don't believe it," Wang Chennan smiled, "but if the calculated result is very good, he should subconsciously tell himself that this may be true." Shi Yi stretched out his hand: "Can I show you palmistry?" "Will you?" "I learned a little bit," Shi Yi said nonsense, "but it's not very useful, maybe it's not allowed." Wang Chennan stretched out his hand in front of her, and Shi Yi gently held his fingers. Perhaps because of the baptism in the perennial laboratory, her fingers have some rough sensations unique to men, and the temperature is moderate, she was stunned for a moment, and quickly covered up the past with her voice: "I can only see your past, but I can't see what will happen in the future." "In the past?" She snorted softly, still holding his fingers, raised her head, and looked into his eyes: "Do you believe that everyone has a past life?" I may be able to see your past life. ”
The security guard at the door looked at them curiously, not understanding what the two were doing.
At this time, a taxi happened to drive in front of the hotel gate, Wang Chennan squinted his eyes slightly because he was facing the headlights, and there was a smile in his voice: "You might as well talk about it." ”
