It wasn't until he got into the helicopter that Meng Jin understood why humans had been in a hurry to conquer the sky above them since ancient times.
From an eagle's point of view, the skyscrapers are at your feet, the white clouds float by, and the people are as small as ants.
It's not that Meng Jin has never been on a plane, but the window position has been occupied by his stepmother in the name of airsickness several times, so he has never seen the scenery in flight intuitively.
Above the sky, two points are direct, and the original journey of more than two hours is suddenly shortened. Unconsciously, the tallest Zifeng Building in the provincial capital came into view. However, the landmark building that people look up to on weekdays now stands in the middle of the city like a toy, and the man-made greatness is really no match for the natural height.
However, just as Meng Jin was curious about the direction of the helicopter, the voice of Master Jide beside him came from the earphones.
"Meng Jin, I'm sorry. I just received the news that we are going to change our itinerary today. ”
"What?"
"The commissioner who was supposed to greet you has just arrived, and the commissioner will take over the rest."
"Commissioner, aren't you commissioners?"
Jide turned his head and showed a standard "you want to guess the meaning of the monks".
Meng Jin shook his head, probably because this guy didn't shave his hair, he forgot that their monks like to "don't talk to each other".
When he got out of Golden Eagle's elevator, Meng Jin's legs were still a little weak. He didn't expect a helicopter to stop in such a narrow place, and when he stepped down from the hatch, he glanced at the height of more than 40 floors beside him, and it wasn't until that moment that he realized that he was still afraid of heights.
"Meng Jin, I'll send you here." Jide led Meng Jin to a café, and then nodded slightly.
"This ......" originally thought that the college with a lot of pomp and circumstance would choose a different joint location, but I didn't expect it to be this - Starbucks coffee. In China, coming to Starbucks to watch the crowds is always a much more reliable thing than buying coffee.
Almost pushed into the café by the customers behind him, Meng Jin looked around, and his mood became a little nervous. His first reaction was not what the commissioner looked like, but who would pay for it later. You must know that Ma Tianyu often shows off drinking Starbucks, and the three steel hammers in his pocket don't know if they are enough to buy an empty cup.
His eyes swept over the café, and his first glance was to search for those monks in style, but he thought that Jide was dressed as a layman, and the commissioner should also be in civilian clothes.
The second glance swept over, and his eyes were full of Apple products, from Mac_air to Mac-Pro, and almost everyone had an iPhone or Ipad, which made Meng Jin complain. Meng Jin, who bought every issue of home computers and games, naturally did not have much good impression of items that were beautiful in appearance but not top-notch in actual performance.
At the third glance, he thought about finding an empty seat, and the commissioner should have occupied the seat and waited, right? But he looked around carefully and shook his head.
There is an empty seat, but it is by no means reserved for yourself.
Beneath the blue, brimmed hat is bright brown hair that falls down to the shoulders. The big dark green eyes stared intently at the book spread out in hand, and the cherry blossom-colored lips were slightly raised, which was a pleasure that emanated from the bottom of my heart.
Wait, maybe the commissioner is late. Meng Jin moved towards the side of the door, not wanting people to mistake him for a customer in line.
“COCO,MJ!” Behind the counter, the barista holds a cup with its name written on it and calls out two names.
The girl who was reading the book seemed to close the book with great satisfaction, got up and took two steps lightly, came to the counter, and took the coffee.
"Here, what are you doing in a daze?"
The tall and bright foreign girl walked up to Meng Jin and handed over the coffee marked MJ.
"What, me?" Meng Jin, who turned his head just now and deliberately stared at the other side, not wanting to be mistaken for peeping at beautiful women, always felt that something was wrong. I'm afraid this is the first time in my life that I have taken the initiative to have a girl talk to me, and she is still such a moving foreign girl?
"Wait, you were speaking Chinese just now?" Meng Jin suddenly reacted again, this girl's Mandarin still has a provincial accent?
“Well,Chinese_or_English,either_way_works_for_me。” (Hey, Chinese and English, I don't care.) )
"Don't be stupid, go sit down."
Almost led by this girl, Meng Jin sat down as if sleepwalking.
Wait, you were holding hands again? Meng Jin closed his eyes tightly, and he didn't know what to say in his mouth, probably he still thought that he was frightened and hallucinated when he got off the helicopter. Then when I opened my eyes, it should be a middle-aged uncle sitting in a precarious position, right?
I opened and closed my eyes several times in a row, but the smile of the girl in front of me was still bright.
"Is this how Chinese boys say hello?" The girl slyly learned Meng Jin to blink her eyes a few times.
"Uh...... This one. Meng Jin poured a big sip of coffee, trying to sober up, but suddenly jumped up, it turned out to be piping hot chocolate!
"Drink some of this." The girl generously handed over the glass of lemonade she had ordered earlier, "I haven't drunk it." ”
After drinking the cold lemonade, Meng Jin sat down stiffly, but he didn't know how to speak.
"Introduce yourself, Chloe_Moretz, Chinese name is Coco, and he is the commissioner of the academy."
"I ...... My name is Meng Jin, and I'm ......."
"It's 'Adadis Man', and he's also a confession maniac, with a perfect score in English in the college entrance examination, and the crazy Caesar of VS platform WAR3, level 23." I don't know when he put on a pair of white glasses, and Coco, who was sitting opposite, helped Meng Jin complete his sentences.
"Google Glass plus Po's help." Before Meng Jin could open his mouth again, Coco asked and answered himself.
"Oh." I don't know if it's because I'm too nervous, at this moment, Meng Jin always feels that the customers around him seem to be taking pictures with their mobile phones?
"Otherwise, as a commissioner, I'll be responsible for answering all your questions. So, just ask! Seeing that Meng Jin didn't dare to raise her head, the girl who had been smiling increased her tone a little and used a forced tone.
"That...... What does Commissioner mean? ”
"Commissioner, it's the one in charge of mobilization. Actually, I'm also a student of the academy, but one level higher than you. Every year, the old students are used to mobilize the new students, which saves money and takes care of the psychology of the new students. Keke stroked his hair, and Meng Jin felt a spring breeze blowing.
"But, the Buddhist Academy. You're still a foreign girl. ”
"Yes, I spent a lot of time digesting this fact last year, but it's good to go to school for a year, I learned too much, and in fact, the Buddhist college is just a gimmick."
"But I still have to think about it." Meng Jin, who was brought up by that wonderful father since he was a child, always couldn't believe in something too good. It's as if everything is an illusory bubble, and when I want to catch it, I accidentally puncture this bubble. What kind of conspiracy is behind such a grand Buddhist academy or such a bright and beautiful foreign girl as a commissioner? Is it to kidnap yourself to do biochemical experiments, or is there some treasure hidden on your body? When they achieve their goal, will they just throw themselves away like waste?
Meng Jin is like this, when others are always optimistic about the good, he will always fall into a pessimistic cycle.
"I understand you." Coco stretched out her hand and placed it on the back of Meng Jin's hand.
"Huh?"
"Last year, when a couple of mysterious guys fell from the sky, I thought it was a magic show on the set. But after learning the facts, I understood my choice. Her dark green eyes glittered with sincerity.
"You've already made your choice, though." Coco withdrew her hand, "When you've seen enough of the sky, you'll never stop at that point on the branches, will you?" ”
Meng Jin fiddled with his fingers and finally raised his head.
"Why me? Don't say any nonsense about the monks who chose them. Could it be that when you were abroad, they could also measure it? ”
"Indeed, that's just the official version. Everyone's reasons for being chosen are different, but you're ......" Coco pulled out a photo from the canvas bag beside her, "it should have something to do with your mother." ”
"Mother, mother?" Meng Jin didn't have much impression of his biological mother. When I was very young, my father said that my mother had gone far away. I've been stupidly waiting for her to come back. But wait and wait for yourself and stop looking forward to it, because on the first day your stepmother entered the door, she told herself that your biological mother died unexpectedly at an early age.
In the photo, a young woman who looks very innocent, wearing a printed dress, is standing on the beach, tilting her head and smiling, comparing a scissor hand.
"It's not that ...... Is it dead? Meng Jin muttered as he looked at the photo, trying to search the depths of his memory. Although I didn't get anything, I felt very kind.
"Your father thought she was dead. However, the truth is often not what it seems. Well, this is her photo from a few years ago. Coco pointed to an inscription on the photograph indicating that it was the Caribbean Seaside.
"But now she really has some things to do, and she can't get out for the time being, which is why you were chosen."
"Does Agarwood save my mother?" After Meng Jin finished speaking, he realized that foreign girls may not understand this Chinese allusion.
"Yo, you're pretty smart." He waved the book he was looking at to show that he understood. On the yellow cover, it turned out to be the outline of national history.
Another flash. This time, Meng Jin finally couldn't help but ask, "I said, are they taking pictures?" ”
"Oh, here we go again." Coco pretended to be helpless and stuck out her tongue playfully.
“Excuse_me,are_you_the_Star_in_that_movie?” (Excuse me, are you the movie star in that movie?) )
A young girl, dressed in fashion, timidly asked in English.
"It's me." Coco replied succinctly in Chinese, then put on an exaggerated smile.
"Hey! It's her! Also speaks Chinese! When the girl heard this, she waved at her friend not far away, and for a while, the whole café was boiling. It seems that everyone's previous doubts have been proven, and one by one customers rushed over, took photos with their mobile phones, signed autographs, and wanted to come to the side of Coco and leave something next to it. However, Meng Jin, who was originally sitting opposite Coco, was squeezed far away by the enthusiastic crowd at this moment.
Finally, when Coco put on big sunglasses and pressed down the big-brimmed hat deeply, there was no crowd of onlookers behind him and Meng Jin.
was held by Coco's hand and walked in the shopping mall of Golden Eagle, Meng Jin's body was straight.
"They just said, movie or something?"
"Oh, I forgot to mention, in addition to going to college, I also have a profession as an actor."
"Actors?"
"yes, I've done a lot of films. Have you seen it? ”
"Ahh Meng Jin vaguely remembered that Coco's figure overlapped with an impression he had seen on the outer wall of a movie theater.
"I'm a superkiller. You‘re_welcome。 (No thanks.) )”
Meng Jin felt that he was not only tense, but a little completely ossified. P.S ask for recommendations and collections......~
