Prologue Chapter 71 Reason and Sensibility
Chapter Seventy-One: Sense and Sensibility
In the morning, there were guests coming and going in the breakfast area of the hotel one after another, and Su Wen and the fat man were already waiting in the corner.
Not long after, Coco Zhu came to the restaurant, only baked a slice of bread, drank a glass of milk, and looked at the computer while eating breakfast. After waiting for a while for the man to come over, he naturally kissed Coco Zhu's forehead, and the two chatted for a while, Coco Zhu went to help him make a cup of coffee first, and carefully matched a delicate and nutritious breakfast. Sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel, and the two are as close as a pair of soul mates.
Su Wen sat quietly, watching all this from a distance, it turned out that Coco Zhu was not so cold, he would be coquettish, he would wait for people, he would also serve tea and pour water, and he would also shush the cold and ask for warmth.
It's a pity to be together for three years, and I don't know it, obviously I don't deserve this.
In the past, only Su Wen gave her gifts, and it was also Su Wen who did laundry, cooking, and tidying up the room, Su Wen knew how naΓ―ve she was, and thought that she accepted these to accept love, and she was ready to stay together.
Love is not born out of thin air, love is for a reason, love is not abstract, but concrete, concrete to firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea......
The only thing that can be done in love is to decide how you treat her, and you can't expect her to treat yourself the same way.
Coco Zhu got up and took a plate of fruit, seemed to feel something on the way back, paused for a moment, and turned his head to see Su Wen, who was staring at her silently. The tray in Coco Zhu's hand was crooked, and the fruit plate almost fell to the ground, so he put the tray on an empty table. Straightened her hair to hide her panic, calmed down, and said hello to the fat man first, and then beckoned to Su Wen.
The fat man remained silent, gagged his mouth with his hand and said, "Don't go over, you are not so cheap, and love is not low to the dust." β
The reason is understood But Su Wen couldn't resist her, Su Wen stood up and whispered to the fat man: "You are right, the person standing in front of you is a boneless slug. β
Pretending to be calm and halfway through, Su Wen was already panicking, rubbing his face vigorously, wiping a handful of tears that he didn't know existed, and telling himself over and over again: They are all adults, there is nothing that can't be seen, don't shed tears.
Before sitting down, Su Wen decided that she would not take the initiative in this conversation, and asked after sitting down, "Since you don't like me, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Coco Zhu is not without feelings for him, but there is still her male partner sitting behind her, and she just wants to end the embarrassment gracefully as soon as possible before the male partner finds out, smiled reluctantly, and whispered: "The day when reason finally triumphs over sensibility, I am very happy when I am with you, thank you." You are a good person, but those are not what I want, forgive me for not telling you earlier, I can't find you, and I'm afraid that you will be too affectionate and can't bear to hurt you. β
was issued a good person card, Su Wen was not happy at all, it felt like someone had used a red-hot wire through his heart. He was speechless.
Coco Zhu didn't want to dwell on it for too long, and said: "You haven't changed at all, you are introverted and upright and don't understand romance." Don't be impulsive, act like a childish child, and let this matter go. Although we are no longer lovers, we can still be best friends. After speaking, he patted Su Wen's hand, got up and left the restaurant.
Seeing that the scene was peaceful, the fat man stood up with a sigh of relief, passed by the food area and took a few cherry tomatoes by the way. I just saw Coco Zhu just walk out of the restaurant, and he fell to the ground with a stumble under his feet. I got up in a hurry and rushed into the elevator....
The fat man couldn't help but gloat, and glanced at Su Wen, but he felt a chill.
Su Wen still sat still, his hands clenched into fists, and the green tendons on his arms burst out. His eyes were bloodshot and glowing a strange red. The fat man had never seen him like this, but he had inexplicable heart palpitations, as if he would be dead in a sea of blood in the next minute. also knew why Coco Zhu was out of shape, Su Wen looked close to the edge of losing control. Considering that the world may have an uncertain impact on people, the fat man immediately dragged Su Wen to the car. It wasn't until the doors and windows were locked that I breathed a sigh of relief.
.....
made a phone call to Su's mother, and the fat man forcibly took him to the hospital for a sedative despite Su Wen's objections. The potion quickly worked, and seeing that Su Wen slowly returned to normal, the fat man felt a sense of accomplishment in saving mankind, and breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that his whole body was soaked.
On the way back to G City, Su Wen would occasionally burst into tears.
Approaching G City, Su Wen, who had calmed down, asked the fat man: "Am I breaking up?"
The fat man saw that he had regained his composure, and said hatefully: "What do you think? Do you still want a breakup ceremony? What's the big deal about breaking up? I wanted to tell you that she is not suitable for you." β
Su Wen muttered, "Why are there always people who are obsessed with people who are not suitable for them?"
The fat man said: "Maybe you don't think you deserve better love." β
Su Wen rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think I can find someone who is gentle and kind, and knows how to appreciate someone like me who is introverted and upright and doesn't understand romance?" A girl wouldn't want to be around a clumsy, ordinary guy like me, would she?"
The fat man let out a sigh and said lightly: "I don't know, but you can try." β
......
When he was about to arrive in G City, Su Wen suddenly knocked on the glass and asked the fat man, "Did you know in advance?"
The fat man saw that he began to analyze things, presumably there was no big problem, and the pain in the future let the time slowly fade, and drove the car into the service area. Said cautiously: "Say it first, don't slap your face.... I know. β
"Can't you tell me in advance? a little prepared, do you know how much of a fool I am?"
"I told you in advance? I only found out yesterday, besides, you didn't see it with your own eyes, would you believe it?" The fat man also has a hard time, and if he doesn't say this well, it's provoking. touched a cigarette and added: "We are now a high-tech military enterprise, and someone will review her if Coco Zhu has shares." When I first told me, I didn't believe it, saying that the man was Kristin's relatives in the United States. I asked Kristin, and we had a conflict about it. β
Su Wen was a little reluctant: "Forget it, let it be." β
The fat man complained: "It's good to divide early, and when you sign the shares, you still pretend to be a dog!" Coco Zhu said that he resigned and was going to work in the company, so he was busy tossing the house. β
........
Back in G City, no matter how much pain Su Wen has experienced, the city is still full of traffic. Personal joys, sorrows, and sorrows cannot affect the hurried pace of the world.
After dinner, the fat man called Su's mother, Su Wen and Jenny to Lao Pu's house. After entering the door, Su's mother opened the cabinet familiarly, threw a bag to Su Wen, and motioned for him not to ask. When everyone went to the room to change their clothes, Lao Pu opened a door, and the house was empty, and the walls were shining with metal. Lao Pu turned on a machine before he spoke: "My God, it's like a thief." I saw that there was no isolation signal on this wall, and I saw that there was no jammer on this device. β
The fat man sat on the floor and muttered, "No way, the bugs* found by the Security Bureau are all in boxes, and even the lights are specially made." β
No wonder everyone made an appointment not to discuss the affairs of the Su Dynasty, it turned out that the problem was here.
As the research deepened, especially the new Floating Stone, Jenny needed more information, and everyone needed her expertise, so it was logical for her to join in.
Seeing that these people never mentioned the story of falling out of love. Su Wen can report on the experience of this trip first. A good memory is really not as good as a bad pen, and each question recorded determines the order of work.
After a rough review, everyone was sure that the biggest discovery was to know the origin of the beast. Su's mother had a question: "Slow down, put aside the myth of gourds and eggs." Let me sum it up, gigantic animals grow in some kind of container, and there are connecting wires. Is that so?"
Su Wen nodded.
Su's mother knocked on the floor and looked at everyone: "Do you think of anything?"
The fat man has read a lot of science fiction novels, and he is the first to speak: "It's definitely a biological culture vessel with a supply device!"
Jenny said: "There is no gene in dinosaurs that inhibits growth, and theoretically, without this inhibitory gene, the animal can grow to infinity. That means there's a lot of biotech in that place. β
Lao Pu hurriedly said: "You guys speak slowly, I think this information is very important, and I have to write it down." That is, they can remove a certain segment of the organism's gene. β
Su's mother added: "Since you can accurately remove a certain gene, you can also add a certain gene. At the very least, like our plant technology, we can graft a certain piece of gene. Oh, my God... What a scary technology. β
"Don't we also have genetic technology? Can't we do it?" asked Su Wen in surprise.
Su's mother sighed: "I believe that human genetic technology will be done sooner or later, but not now." Seeing that everyone didn't quite understand the horror of this technology, Mother Su asked, "Do you know how creatures evolve?"
Jenny said: "Only new species created by genetic mutations can maintain fertility and pass on new traits to offspring. If an individual carrying the mutation outperforms its peers in competition and produces more offspring, the mutated trait is inherited. When this variant stabilizes. It's a new species. β
Su Wen and the fat man looked at each other, and Jenny added, "I have a master's degree in genetics. The fat man couldn't wait to kneel in front of the top student.
Lao Pu smiled and said, "I don't know much about biology, but I also have an idea - since there is a powerful biotechnology, what have they done with this technology?"
Everyone looked at Su Wen, who was in such a bad mood that he didn't want to speak, and he was furious by everyone, so he had to say: "If myths are any evidence, they made gods, people, apes, dogs, cows, pigs, chickens, anyway, all kinds of livestock and poultry that you can't think of and can't think of." Even the phoenix and the bowl, which are creatures in the Book of Mountains and Seas. β
Look at what everyone is still staring at themselves. I had no choice but to open the notes and say stubbornly: "There is a myth that even records the creation of man, first a pair of short and ugly little dumb creatures, and then a loose and stupid man, who have bred for five generations, and each generation is getting bigger and bigger. In the end, he died if he was too tall. Then it snowed red and made some plants: frogs, snakes, eagles, bears, monkeys, and people. The descendants of humans and monkeys have passed down for generations before they become extinct. It is said that nine generations have lived a monkey-like obscurantist life. β
Su's mother grabbed the notebook, read it carefully, and said, "The handwriting is really ugly, I should have watched you practice calligraphy when I was a child." β
Su Wen's face is black....
After everyone read it, Jenny said: "It's hard to judge the truth of the mythological story, we might as well boldly assume that the monkey here is the key..." Jenny sneered, and then said, "Say"
Su Wen said: "Monkeys are not actually monkeys, they are apes. You've seen it in Suxian City. β
Su's mother immediately jumped up: "Yes, I felt that something was wrong at that time, so I went to dissect one, except for the brain structure, it is almost a human with long hair." To put it bluntly, it is the missing link in the history of human evolution. β
Jenny was also shocked by the news, saying: "I just want to assume that the monkey is an ape, otherwise there will be reproductive isolation, how can it be possible to reproduce offspring." If you think of man as a finished product, then the ape is a semi-finished product without the removal of hair genes, and can reproduce for several generations without reproductive isolation between the two. At least it is of the same genus or even the same species. β
The fat man asked weakly, "What is the conclusion?"
Su's mother winked childishly and said, "There is no conclusion, what conclusions can be drawn from looking at the myth, but I have decided, I will go to Su Wen's city to build a laboratory, and you will set up a biotechnology company." Any conclusion must be scientifically demonstrated. We started studying the apes and the eggs. β
Su Wen thought for a long time and interjected, "Is there reproductive isolation between people?"
Jenny replied, "No," but Su's mother said, "Yes."
Seeing that everyone looked at her with suspicion, Su's mother seemed to have made up a lot of determination, and sighed and said, "Since I am doing research, I will no longer hide it from Su Wen." I am responsible to tell you that people in our family have to have children with specific people. Moreover.... If we meet the right people, we can feel it. I myself have studied medicine for many years and have done a lot of research, but I don't know if the starting point is wrong, and I haven't found the reason. β
Su Wen added: "I also know such people, and they are members of the royal family, and they choose to inbreed." The place where I went to work was a country before, and as the myth says, extinct. β
Su's mother shrugged: "So I asked you and Coco Zhu to try to have a baby first." When the two of you get married, I think our family is also upside down. β
The fat man was very happy: "Fortunately, the two of them are separated today, in case the restoration is successful, I don't know how many generations of Su Huang will be called, but this "last life of Su Huang" is not running." β
......
Lao Pu didn't speak much, the demon pill is not mysterious, completely within the framework of human existing knowledge, Jenny has realized the control of the demon pill through a device that simulates brain waves, and has realized the function of quantitative opening and closing. Just like the development from manual transmission to fully automatic transmission, more technology accumulation and experimentation are required. The current difficulty is also the lack of adequate knowledge in biotechnology. It is necessary to set up a biotech company with a focus on gene technology and neurotechnology.
The fat man looked up to the sky and sighed: "Alas, my biology was taught by the physical education teacher, and you let me study genetic technology?"
Su Wen kicked him and said, "The two of us are taught by one teacher, and I am also responsible for studying the origin of human beings in mythology." β
Lao Pu listened to his joke, but said seriously: "Archaeological discoveries in recent years have confirmed that a large number of ancient documents are credible. Some people have classified and staged the legends and historical materials recorded in ancient Chinese documents, and they divided them into two categories: "original" and "regenerate" according to the source of the historical materials. Roughly with the Han Dynasty as the dividing line, many of the "original" myths have their historical side. β
......
Jenny asked more about the floating stone, the topic was boring, the fat man didn't sleep all night, yawned...
Su Wen sent Jenny home, the child and the nanny went to the fat man's house and didn't come back, and it was still early, so he sat in the living room of Jenny's house in a daze. Jenny made him a cup of coffee and said, "Why did it happen so much in one night?" There's a saying that if you love her soul, why not let it go. When someone doesn't love you, the more love you give, the heavier the burden she bears. β
Looking at Jenny, Su Wen smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Alas... It's the same end of the world,"
Jenny disagreed with him, laughing at him and saying, "Won't you lose faith in love? So you have to learn to live with loneliness? β
Su Wen laughed at himself: "Who knows what will happen in the future." That's fine, at least you don't have to worry about losing her. β
Jenny sat next to him, took his hand and said, "You have to be strong, but also gentle, and continue to be a good guy." You still have to struggle, fall, gasp, get up and keep fighting. You're not alone in your struggle. Look behind you, a group of people are waiting for you to pull the car, including me. Before he finished speaking, he laughed first.
Su Wen touched his chin, there was a hard stubble there: "It seems that people are middle-aged, so they will say, why don't you convince yourself first?"
Jenny is from the past and understands his feelings. knew that he pretended to be strong, but he actually hid the pain in the deepest part of his heart. Suddenly, my heart seemed to be torn off, and a burst of sourness came up, how could I not be? Inevitably laughed bitterly at himself, so naΓ―ve, he actually wanted to use his experience of getting out of pain to soothe another injured heart.....?
Su Wen looked down at Jenny, confidence made her more beautiful, maybe it was the pain that made her mature. She is not like herself, her background makes her not have much power to choose love, even if she is broken up, there is not much resentment, more gratitude and cherishment. There should be nothing right or wrong about her love, maybe it just didn't meet at the right time. He patted her on the back lightly, trying to give her a little comfort.
Both men tried to comfort each other, and the atmosphere became ambiguous. tentatively took her around her waist, but she didn't resist, and even cooperated a little to be embraced by him. Time stood still for a moment, and the sudden kiss caught people off guard like a storm, and the fragrance slipped between the entwined tongues. She was not used to Su Wen's strong and thin enthusiasm, like a fish out of water, she could only open her mouth to accept the enthusiasm he gave. Reason made Jenny want to push him away, and the lack of oxygen dizziness made her brain go blank. Instinct made Jenny reach out and wrap her hands around his sturdy back, my God, what a young and toned body, a broad and powerful back, clear and strong muscle lines. Uh, Jenny was surrounded by a sense of security and satisfaction that she had never felt before.......
