A week later, the mecha design team of the research institute held a regular meeting.

A few of the junior students who arrived early whispered a discussion.

"Which project are you going to enter this internship?" One of them spied.

"It's not decided yet, I'll talk about it later after listening to the senior brothers and sisters introduce the project."

"It's been a few days since the project was announced, haven't you seen it?"

"Of course I've seen it, but I like several, I want to listen to my brother and sister talk about it again." The person who answered smiled lightly, blinked, and said narrowly, "Personality charm is also important. ”

"Yes, yes." Someone was full of approval and echoed, "It's nice to be tired with the right person." I want to choose Senior Brother Chu this time, I am very interested in his project, and Senior Brother Chu is also kind and very easy to discuss. ”

"I want to choose Senior Brother Fang." A girl said.

"I guess you will choose Senior Brother Fang, one of your mentors, senior brothers and sisters, follow him, and the test score he gives you will not be low." One of them teased with a grin.

"Don't you also have a senior brother? Choose him and give you a high score directly. "The girl is a general.

"Senior Brother Huo......" the student sighed melancholy, "I've been a little weak lately. ”

Several students were amused by him, and some people sighed: "Indeed, Senior Brother Huo is highly efficient, his project is not small, and he is only scheduled for a month, whoever follows him will not be able to bear it in the next month." ”

"But there is also an advantage to following Senior Brother Huo," the other person had a different opinion, "Senior Brother Huo's projects are always completed clean and beautiful, and he schedules for a month. It will be a month to finish, you think, let's complete the apprenticeship project quickly. is still determined to get high scores, what are you afraid of if you work hard? ”

After a while, the personnel of the mecha design team arrived one after another. Today's main topic is that the third- and fourth-year researchers introduce their respective projects to the first- and second-year juniors, and then choose in both directions.

After the seniors briefly stated their project requirements one by one, it was the younger students' turn to ask questions. This moment of exchange. As he spoke, the atmosphere would become lively, the juniors asked interesting questions, and the seniors answered funny. For a while, the conference room was relaxed and harmonious.

"Senior Brother Huo, your project is only one month, I want to ask, if I choose your project. How much time do you have to schedule each day? A boy asked, standing up.

Hosbei looked up. He replied succinctly and competently: "As long as the minimum total length of apprenticeship is met, the rest is free." ”

"Senior Brother Huo, our apprenticeship project can be completed in three months, I would like to ask, if I follow you to complete the scheme design and experimental operation part of the project as scheduled, can the final summary report be slightly delayed? We also have to take the final exam in the second grade, and I have to make time to review. A person said with a sad face, causing the people around him to laugh. Many junior students feel the same way.

"Sorry, my project schedule includes the time for the report to be issued." Hosbei's tone was steady. Unmoved.

After the question time, Huo Sibei received several people who were willing to sign up, and there were always students who were energetic and not afraid of hard work. He picked a boy who signed up first, and after a few simple conversations, he left.

"I'm going to go back and get a good night's sleep, and I'll start work tomorrow with Senior Brother Huo." The boy laughed.

"Haven't you been weak lately? Why do you still choose your own senior brother? Fight for a high score? One person said.

"You don't understand this, Senior Brother Huo will only give reasonable favors, no more, he is principled. I followed my own brother because I wanted to end the apprenticeship project as soon as possible and free up my hands to do other things as soon as possible. ”

"I think so too, but it's a pity that Senior Brother Huo chose you."

"I also chose Senior Brother Huo, following him is efficient and has a great degree of freedom, but unfortunately Senior Brother Huo didn't choose me either." Another chimed in.

"Let me tell you a little trick, next time I want to do a project with Senior Brother Huo, try to say as soon as possible, Senior Brother Huo's principle is the simplest, whoever arrives first, will give the opportunity to whom."

"I chose Senior Brother Huo quite early, after he introduced the project, I chose it, you moved faster than me." A girl laughed.

"You don't understand this, generally Senior Brother Huo will only choose boys."

"Why?" Several girls stopped, some curious, some frowning.

"Senior Brother Huo's project schedule is so tight, and it is not uncommon to work until three in the middle of the night, and at that time, it is not good for Senior Sister to go back by herself, so she always has to give her a ride, isn't this an extra job? I listened to what Senior Brother Chu said, so I don't know. ”

Several girls looked at each other with disapproving faces.

"This Senior Brother Huo is notoriously quiet, and he doesn't ask for much, they all say that he is very good at doing projects, I really want to talk to him this time, but I don't accept girls." One girl muttered, "I don't want him to send it." ”

"Senior Brother Huo will not have this kind of prejudice, his own mecha partner is a senior sister. There are several candidates for him, and it is not strange that he always has to pick one of them, and he prefers to choose his fellow disciples. The other laughed.

Hosbei was unaware of this, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care, and he kept his head on the project. All the work at hand had to be finished before the start of the vacation, and now they have no courses, only projects, and the vacation arrangements all follow the projects, and he has to rush to work day and night if he wants to return to Tuduo before the closed mecha combat drill in the fourth grade.

It's another weekend, and he has been working continuously for a long time with his junior brother.

"I'll be out for an hour." He said to the apprentice, "You can also take a break. ”

This is the work area of the design team of the institute, and in order not to interfere with the researchers' inspirational ideas, and for the confidentiality of project information, the work area is blocked from personal communication signals.

Hoth walked all the way out, and when he got outside, he lowered his head to check the status of the communication, and the contact numbers of many people in the address book were back open, but not including Ilan. This is true at this time of the month.

"Abei, it's over so early today? Spent the whole day in there yesterday? His classmate was about to enter the work area and greeted him.

"No, I'm out to breathe." After all, I have been working tirelessly for the last few days. Hosbei's clear voice showed a hint of hoarseness.

"That's normal, otherwise you're compressing the project so tightly, we're too stressed." The classmate said.

Hosbei smiled faintly. Not much to say. After getting into the car, he rubbed his eyebrows, adjusted the chair and half lay down, his eyes were half open and half closed, and he glanced at the communicator from time to time, his face was full of tiredness.

An hour later, he got out of the car and walked back to his work area. There's still a lot of work to be done.

In July, in the middle of the night, Hoth North stepped off the air ship.

Moss's airport hall is still the same as it was many years ago. Empty and lonely, he slowed down and followed behind the other passengers, subconsciously scanning around the hall, some strange and some familiar. There was a slight warmth in my heart. With a faint nervousness. Compared with the noisy airport hall of the main star of Tudo, this place made him feel more intimate and panicked, which was almost a feeling of homesickness.

Hoth's nervousness rose to the extreme when he rented a hovercar and sat in the car to set his destination. His fingers paused, and he didn't move for a long time.

He and Ilan hadn't seen each other for many years, and the third watch stood guard at her door in the middle of the night, and appearing in front of her early in the morning would scare her. It will be embarrassing, and he himself doesn't know what to say when the time comes.

Hosbei tried to convince himself to go to the Moss administrative center first and find a hotel to stay in. Wait until tomorrow when it is dawn, maybe just take a look from afar, and know that she is okay, and then leave quietly. Every morning, she has a habit of taking the robot around the farm. All he had to do was drive over the farm and see her there.

Huo Sibei hesitated, and finally changed the hotel to Ilan Farm, his heart beat a little faster when he typed, staring at these words, his eyes were very complicated and tangled, but the moment his fingers were finally pressed to be sure, the breath he had been holding suddenly relaxed, and his eyes were unconsciously soft.

But the next moment, the slight smile on the corner of his mouth froze, and the destination did not exist.

Huo Sibei pursed his lips and tried again, but in his heart, he thought that Yilan had always been going to change to a big farm, maybe the name would be changed after the change. He exhaled, refusing to consider other possibilities.

He thought about it, drove manually, and drove in the direction he remembered. He has always had a good memory, and he didn't miss it all the way, and he saw the two-story building smoothly.

Before he could get closer, he turned off the headlights to keep the light from flashing to the room upstairs, and then slowly landed on the path in front of the door, and drove quietly downstairs.

At two o'clock in the morning, the night was clear, the sky was full of stars, and there was silence in all directions.

Hoth got out of the car in the north, his movements were very light, and he raised his eyes and looked at Xiaolou quietly. Over the years, the appearance of the small building has not changed much, it is still so simple and plain, blending in the night, very peaceful and peaceful. There are occasionally a few insect chirpings in the ears, which makes the night extremely quiet and vivid. Between the four fields, under the twinkling stars, only this small building stands in front of you.

This situation is very similar to when he first came, only she is missing.

Could she be sleeping soundly upstairs at the moment? Huo Sibei raised his head slightly, looked at the window on the second floor, and only felt that his heart was beating fast, and he couldn't hide his excitement, and he was a little confused and overwhelmed. He stared for a long time before taking a deep breath, retracting his gaze and looking around. In the night, the shadows of the crops in the fields are indistinct, and when you look at the past, it seems that the layout of the ridges is different from the impression of the ridge.

After all, there was a change, and he looked stunned.

Huo Sibei quickly came to his senses, retracted these chaotic thoughts, and began to analyze rationally.

When Ilan came back after graduating, he replanned the farm, and it was normal for the fields to change.

He carefully examined the small buildings and farmland, trying to find traces of the current inhabited management. But after looking around, he couldn't be sure. The doors and windows are closed, the open space downstairs is clean and tidy, and the fields are not cluttered and desolate, all of which robots can do. Huo Sibei knew that Ilan had always praised her Ayu for being very capable.

After a moment's hesitation, he clicked on the communicator, then looked up at the door, and sure enough, it didn't move. He used to have access to this place, but now that the permission is no longer valid, Ilan must have revoked his permission.

It was to be expected, and he made up his mind.

Hoss looked at the door and hesitated again, this time he wanted to knock on the door, so that he could quickly know if she was inside. Eventually, he forced himself down and sat back in the car waiting for dawn.

The second half of the night was very long, and Huo Sibei couldn't close his eyes and rest in the car.

He'd had had that experience before. During the vacation of her sixth year of college, she left him and came back alone, refused to come over, and even said that she was going to break up, and he chased him and questioned him.

At that time, he rushed here in the middle of the night, knowing that she was sleeping upstairs, he sat in the car and got angry, he didn't know what he was doing wrong, obviously she was going out for a year to do a graduation project, but she didn't inform him in advance, after the two quarreled, she said to break up, when he sat alone in the middle of the night, tired, puzzled, annoyed, depressed and more and more depressed, the next day when he saw her, he hurt people, and made her angry.

And she didn't say anything even when she was sick, and chose to carry it herself, but he turned around and compromised.

Huo Sibei rubbed his face vigorously with his hands, interrupting his memories. He had to think about it, what should he do tomorrow?

If she came out tomorrow, what would he say? Maybe ask her how she's doing, ask her if she's having a hard time.

Huo Sibei smiled bitterly, he didn't have to think about her reaction to know, she would calmly ask him to leave. As long as he is sure that she is okay, he will not come again.

He shook his head in distraught and decided not to think about it yet. Now he worries, if it is not her who comes out tomorrow, or if no one comes out, where is he going to find out about her whereabouts? Thinking that she was alone somewhere he didn't know, Huo Sibei suddenly put his hand close to the teardrop on his chest and took a deep breath.

He went to the Star Network, found the Moss Administrative Center, and found the farm overview, which was much more detailed than what he had found in the Iddu Star District. A quick glance at the names of all the farmsteads in Hothbei did not find any Elan farmsteads. She must have changed her name, Hosbei said to herself.

He remembered that she had once been troubled by the name of the bitter urn, and had tried to borrow his name, but he sternly refused, and forbade her to use her own name, and she listened to it, and obediently mentioned that when the farm was renewed, the Elan Farm would be replaced by another name, so that irrelevant strangers would not have the opportunity to pronounce her name.

Hoss curled the corners of his lips and looked over one by one. Moss does not show the name of the owner on the website, and the small farms are also mentioned in passing, but the large farms have an introduction to agricultural products. He thought that in a few years, Ilan might also be waiting for the big farm, so he patiently went through the crops of each family, especially the big farm where the apples and weadows were grown, more thoroughly.

According to his thoughts, Ilan should not have time to take care of the farm after joining the army, and if she applied for a large farm, maybe she would keep these two ripe varieties in a large area.

He paid more attention to those big farms with mountains and rivers, and in his memory, Ilan had said several times with envy that he would change to such farms.

Huo Sibei's eyes paused slightly, looking into the void, and his mind tried his best to recall the longing appearance she was muttering in his ear at that time, and suddenly his heart ached, how did she and him get to this point?

For a long time, Hosibei collected his mind and continued to concentrate on distinguishing the characteristics of each farm. In the middle of the night, he looked at all the Moss stars that could be searched on the star network. (To be continued......)
