The sound of an alarm chime tore through the silence in the darkness.

After a while, the lights came on, dispelling the darkness in the room and revealing the room as it had been.

Chen Peng sat up from the bed, grabbed the phone at the bedside, pressed the alarm, and then looked at the screen.

o2：3o。

"It's time......"

Chen Peng put down his phone, rubbed his face vigorously, and after sobering himself up, he got out of bed, took off his clothes from the chair next to the bed and changed them, and then walked out.

Barking......

Kiki, who was lying in the kennel at the foot of the bed, heard the movement and thought that it was dawn, so he barked twice in response to the occasion.

After the company's situation began to stabilize, Chen Peng brought back Kiki, who was temporarily fostered in the neighbor's house in the old house, and lived with him on the top floor of the building where the thinking field was located, which can be regarded as a companion with himself, after all, because of the secrets he carries, it is not suitable to live with other people, otherwise there will be leaks if he is not careful, and Kiki's security is obviously very high.

"Shhhh

Chen Peng patted Kiki's head, but the puppy obviously didn't appreciate it very much, and still stubbornly thought that it was dawn, and still barked. Chen Peng simply picked it up, and finally let this energetic guy stop his mouth.

The throat was a little dry, and his head was a little painful, mainly because he drank a lot of wine at Zhang He's house a few hours ago, and the strength of the wine had not completely passed, which made Chen Peng still feel a little uncomfortable.

Chen Peng first turned on the computer, then poured a glass of water, and walked to the balcony while drinking, the cold night breeze greeted him, which suddenly made him sober up a lot.

Kiki in his arms looked at the dark sky outside suspiciously, and then realized that the day had not yet come, so he shrank into Chen Peng's arms and narrowed his eyes.

The night was silent, and there were still faint lights on the streets near and far.

It was the quietest time in the city, the night was about to pass, and the morning had not yet begun, when the occasional car sounded abruptly, and then departed with a blinding light.

This entrepreneurial park is actually similar to a small community, there are a total of six buildings inside, separated from the outside by a fence, and there is a small residential community on the side, and there is a vegetable market nearby, there are already sporadic sounds and lights coming out, where the earliest group of people have gotten up, for the day's life began to be busy, and some roadside breakfast shops although the door is still closed, but the light leaks out of the crack in the door, these people generally get up at two or three o'clock in the morning to prepare, the sound is rustling, At this time, it is extraordinarily quiet.

He stood on the balcony breathing in the cold air, the pain in his brain had become faint, with the cultivation of these days, the damage caused by the soul journey had almost healed, and it was estimated that in some time, he would be able to contact Io in that fragment plane again.

I wonder what happened to that little boy?

Chen Peng was very interested in this.

After standing on the balcony for a while, my spirits improved a lot, and at this time, a crisp prompt sounded from the room behind me. Chen Peng put the kiki in his arms back on the ground and let it run back to its kennel on its own, while he himself walked back to the room and sat down in front of the computer.

This house is left by the previous tenant, and I don't know what to think, on the sixth floor, I made such a two-bedroom and a living room, the space is not big, but the decoration is very good, it looks very comfortable, so he didn't make big changes after renting, one is a bedroom, the other is a study, and it can also be regarded as his private studio, where several servers are placed, and all kinds of electronic devices take up more than half of the space in the study, cpoo47 They are now in the server inside, The LAN line is connected to the core server of the thinking field.

A video connection request pops up on your computer.

Adjusting the position of the camera, he pressed OK, and the face of a golden beauty suddenly appeared in the open video frame.

"Leon, why is it so late?" Jin Meinutong saw Chen Peng in the video window connected to Guò, and immediately shouted, and a series of English came out of the speaker.

Lyon is Chen Peng's English name.

"Hey, Vanessa, you have to know that my time here is eight hours away from Birmingham, and it's just nightfall here, and I'm here in the wee hours of the morning." Chen Peng put the microphone to his mouth, and a fluent piece of English returned.

"Oh, then you and Agnes go and explain." Vanessa gave a wicked smile and turned behind her and shouted, "Agnes, Rachel, come on, I'm connected with Leon." ”

Chen Peng's eyes went through the video window, passed over Vanessa's shoulders, and saw that in the very warm living room decorated behind, two figures immediately walked over after hearing Vanessa's voice.

The two people who came over were women, one was a middle-aged European and American woman with golden eyes, very similar to Vanessa, and the other was a middle-aged Chinese woman with a pair of slender gold-rimmed eyes, which looked very intellectual.

"Hello Aunt Rachel, Mom, happy birthday." Chen Peng first greeted the golden woman, and then smiled at another Chinese woman and said his blessing.

"Thank you, Peng." The middle-aged Chinese woman gave a gentle smile to the camera.

This Chinese woman is Chen Peng's mother Chen Xihong, whose English name is Agnes, and the other two are Rachel Rossi and Vanessa Rossi, you can guess that they are a mother and daughter with the same surname, and these three people are Chen Peng's most important relatives in the world.

Speaking of which, Chen Xihong and Rachel's experience is quite legendary. They from both the East and the West encountered a not very successful love during the teenage rebellion and fell out with their respective families for this, as a result, Chen Xihong, who was pregnant with Chen Peng at the time, and Rachel, who was raising Vanessa who was only four years old at the time, met in a foreign country, similar experiences and difficulties in life made the two of them become good friends and support each other, all the way down.

A total of four people have lived together for a long time, forming a rather alternative family, for Chen Peng, who spent his childhood in this family, Rachel and Vanessa can be said to be precious relatives second only to his mother Chen Xihong.

Today is the birthday of Chen Peng's mother, Chen Xihong, because of the distance between two continents, so every year on this day, Chen Peng will contact the three people living in Birmingham through guò online video to spend this special day together and celebrate his mother's birthday.

As soon as I chatted with my mother and Aunt Rachel, Vanessa, who was unwilling to be lonely, interjected again.

"Hey, Leon, where are your flowers and cakes? I won't forget it. ”

"How could it be, how could I forget this." Since he can't spend his birthday with his mother every year, he will pre-order flowers and cakes at local gift companies through the guò network and send them on his birthday to show his affection.

While he was talking and laughing, the doorbell on Vanessa's side rang, and Chen Peng heard it quite clearly, and said with a smile: "It's almost time, it should be there." ”

"Well, you're a knight, always so punctual." Vanessa gave a helpless smile, and then left the camera with Rachel, apparently to open the door, leaving space for the mother and son.

"Xiao Peng, how are you doing now? Why does it look a little bad? Chen Xihong asked with concern.

"How's it going? I'm in good health now, I've been a little fat during this time. Chen Peng patted his chest, "Mom, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore, I'll take care of myself." ”

"You'll always be the little one who doesn't grow up in my eyes." Chen Xihong said with a smile: "How is the situation of your company?" I heard you say some time ago that the situation is very good. ”

"Well, the exhibition is very good, our company's products have gained a firm foothold in the domestic game industry, and the next stage of new products and new content is about to be released, and we are ready to ......"

Chen Peng explained all the plans and arrangements of the company to Chen Xihong, and Chen Xihong listened to his son's description quietly, keeping a quiet smile on his face, letting his son wave without the slightest intention of interjecting.

It wasn't until Chen Peng finished speaking that Chen Xihong summarized her opinions and discussed them with Chen Peng.

"By the way, Xiao Peng, have you had a girlfriend? You're not young, but you have to hurry. After the previous topic ended, Chen Xihong immediately shifted the topic to the part where parents are usually most concerned about their children.

When Chen Xihong brought up this topic, Chen Peng remembered that when he was having dinner at Zhang He's house a few hours ago, Ming Jiahui tried the relationship between him and Pan Luyao several times. It shows that Jiahui is quite serious in matching Chen Peng and Pan Luyao, and after that wedding banquet, she has invited Pan Luyao and Chen Peng to meet twice at her home, and it is finally not as embarrassing as when they met at the wedding banquet, but the relationship between the two is still a little unnatural.

Thinking of this in his mind, Chen Peng deliberately changed the topic.

"Don't worry, it's more important to be busy with the company's affairs now. By the way, Mom, I'm not coming by plane during the Christmas holidays this year, I want to take the train instead. After chatting for a while, the two talked about the arrangements for this year's Christmas, and Chen Peng said his plan.

"Have you figured it out? Or let's go back to China and live together. ”

"No need, Rachel and Vanessa's careers are over there, it's inconvenient to come to me, Mom, your research institute is also very busy, so don't run around, take a good rest."

"Well, okay, but you have to be safe."

"Don't worry, Mom, I'm optimistic, when the time comes, I will take the train directly to Moscow, and then take a special train there to Paris, and then then to you, it will be a matter of ten days, and I will treat it as a tour in the middle."

"Agnes, come here, the feast begins." Vanessa's cheerful voice came,

"Alright, I'll be right away."

The birthday banquet began, there were very few people, there were only three people present, plus Chen Peng, who relied on the Internet across the ocean, was far less lively than those large dinners, but there was a warm and pleasant atmosphere.

After Chen Peng sang several birthday songs in English, this alternative gathering of relatives and friends from two places finally came to an end.

Looking at the still picture after turning off the video connection, the corners of Chen Peng's mouth still had a smile that had not yet dissipated.
