CHAPTER IX

After Shen Shaohua and Deng Xiran visited the aquarium, they went all the way to the place where Deng Xiran invited them to dinner.

Professor Song, his colleagues and the curator were already in their respective positions, and the curator got up and said a few words to Deng Xiran when he saw Deng Xiran coming, and Shen Shaohua also sat next to Professor Song.

Deng Xiran responded to the curator's words and came to sit down on the other side of Professor Song.

Shen Shaohua couldn't help but feel embarrassed, after all, so many things happened in one day, and there was an eldest lady in the hotel waiting for her to go back, and there was a bitterness in her heart.

After three rounds of drinking, Shen Shaohua, who originally didn't like to drink, also drank a few more sips, she kept paying attention to Deng Xiran on the other side of the toast by the people who participated in the research meeting this time, and felt very admired by him, he didn't blush after drinking so much wine, the amount of alcohol was really good.

At the end of the meal, many of his colleagues were drunk and Professor Song originally wanted to live nearby today, because there was still more than an hour's drive from here to Sapporo City.

Originally, I wanted to live near here, but I felt that if I stayed here, it would not be equivalent to releasing Li Sijia's pigeons, and found that the consequences of the latter were more serious than the former, so I said to Professor Song: "Professor Song, there is something in my hotel, so I won't live here tonight."

"I'm not worried about the person you drank and went back to the hotel, I'll find someone to accompany you back." As he spoke, Professor Song began to look for someone.

Deng Xiran heard the movement here and walked over and asked Shen Shaohua: "You want to go back to Sapporo City, I also have something to go back, let's go together."

After hearing this, Professor Song walked over, "I can hand over Shaohua to you, you must bring my precious student back safely tomorrow." ”

Deng Xiran smiled and said, "Teacher, I am also your student, your partiality is too serious."

Shen Shaohua has always known that Professor Song has an unusual relationship with Deng Xiran, who knew that he was actually a student of Professor Song, no wonder he introduced me in turn in the aquarium in the afternoon.

"It's not that I'm biased, it's that you chose a different direction." Professor Song's tone was filled with regret and loss.

After these words came out, the atmosphere between the two became very heavy, Deng Xiran obviously didn't want to continue the topic, and Professor Song didn't want him to answer.

Shen Shaohua saw that the two were no longer talking, so he immediately played a round and said, "Then Professor Song, I'll go first."

"Well, stay safe."

Deng Xiran nodded slightly to Professor Song, opened the car door for Shen Shaohua, and let Shen Shaohua get in the car first and go in by himself.

Along the way, Shen Shaohua and Deng Xiran sat in the back seat together, but no one spoke.

"Sir, it's time to the hotel."

"Hmm." Deng Xiran opened the car door and got out of the car, and Shen Shaohua also got down from the other side.

"Excuse me, send me back so late."

Deng Xiran looked at Shen Shaohua and shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'll send you up." After saying that, he had already entered the hall.

Originally, Shen Shaohua thought that he would go up by himself when he arrived at Xie, but now he went up with Deng Xiran, and when he thought of Li Sijia's expression when he saw Deng Xiran, he couldn't help but shudder.

There was no one in the hotel at night, and there were only two people in the elevator, Shen Shaohua didn't know why, as long as he stayed with Deng Xiran, he would be inexplicably nervous.

Deng Xiran sent Shen Shaohua to the door of the room, and was about to turn around and leave when he heard the door next door open.

"Shen Shaohua, you are finally back, you said that you would invite me to dinner, but you didn't come back." Li Sijia said loudly at Shen Shaohua.

Li Sijia wanted to pull Shen Shaohua into the room, but saw Deng Xiran on the side.

"Tut-tut, no wonder you didn't call me back, it turned out that you had a boyfriend." After speaking, he looked at Deng Xiran with scrutinizing eyes.

Shen Shaohua didn't know why his face was suddenly a little hot, and he wanted to explain to Li Sijia but was taken first.

"Hello, I'm a friend of Shen Shaohua, Deng Xiran." Deng Xiran said with a smile.

"It turned out that it wasn't a boyfriend, I want to see how you can get a boyfriend when you deal with creatures in the sea all day."

"Hello, Deng Xiran, my name is Li Sijia." Li Sijia originally wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Shaohua.

"Deng Xiran, thank you for sending me back, I won't send you if I have something to do." As he spoke, he pushed Li Sijia into the room.

The man outside the door had a smile on his lips that he didn't notice.

"Shaohua, why did you push me in just now, handsome guy!" Li Sijia said as she ate something in her mouth.

Shen Shaohua looked at her eating appearance, and then glanced at her, feeling that he must have owed her in his previous life to meet her.

Li Sijia obviously saw Shen Shaohua's eyes on her, "Don't roll it, I know I shouldn't make this kind of joke." ”

"Well, how did you come to Hokkaido?" Shen Shaohua has always expressed doubts about her sudden arrival, and she was frightened in the car in the afternoon and forgot to ask.

"Look at the handsome guy, do you believe it?"

Shen Shaohua gave her another roll of the eyes, "If it's to scare me, I believe it." ”

The two teased a few words, and Li Sijia finally compromised and said, "Uncle Shen, let me come to see you."

"Well, it's been a long time since I've been back." Shen Shaohua has devoted all his time to research since his mother left.

"For a long time? It's been two years at the end of this month, and you don't know that Uncle Shen is about to become an empty nester at home alone. Li Sijia retorted.

"After the research here is done, we will go back to development." Shen Shaohua's thoughts went back to two years ago.

Li Sijia got up and flipped through the suitcase, took out a box of tea, and handed it to Shen Shaohua.

"How many months will this research take?" Li Sijia has put away her original ridiculous tone.

"About three months, what's wrong?" Shen Shaohua got up and made two cups of black tea and asked.

"Alas, Uncle Shen gave me a death order to return to China with you."

Shen Shaohua had just drunk a cup of tea when he was choked, "Ahem, cough, go back with me?" ”

"Why, you don't want to? You can't help it if you don't want to this time, and I think Hokkaido is good, and it's okay to stay a few more months. ”

Li Sijia took a sip of tea and said, "Your tea leaves are gone, I brought you two boxes this time." ”

"Hmm."

"Sleep with me tonight."

"No, I'm afraid of nightmares."

"Shen Shaohua, do you want to be beaten?" Li Sijia had already clenched her fists

"No, I'll go get my clothes, and then take a shower and sleep."

"Hmm."

In Hokkaido in December, snow has already begun to fall, and Sapporo is gradually entering a quiet white world. In Hokkaido, it began to get dark around 3:30 p.m., and the temperature dropped sharply, and passers-by walking on the streets were already wearing thick clothes.

Deng Xiran has been smiling with a smile in his eyes since he left the hotel.

Wang Yan, who was in the driver's seat, saw Mr. Shu holding his jaw from the rearview mirror, looking at the snow falling on the glass outside the car window and smiling, and he didn't know what Mr. was thinking.

The snow scene in Hokkaido is very beautiful, Deng Xiran saw this sentence in Shen Shaohua's mobile phone.

Shen Shaohua was woken up by the person next to him early in the morning, probably because he drank alcohol last night, and when his head was groggy and he wanted to get out of bed and drink some hot water, there was a loud scream.

"Shaohua, come and see, it's snowing." Li Sijia stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the snow on the street.

The houses in Hokkaido are not particularly tall, the roofs are covered with a layer of snow, and the snow pushers on the roads have long been working, and the asphalt has been exposed, and the snow on both sides is spread on them like a silver-white carpet.

Shen Shaohua walked to the window, touched a layer of mist glass with his hand, and said softly, "It's beautiful."

The mobile phone vibrated on the table, Li Sijia thought it was her own, but found that it was Shen Shaohua's mobile phone and picked it up, Deng Xiran.

Li Sijia was stunned, and Shen Shaohua found that the one next to him was gone, so he walked over and was surprised to see that it was Deng Xiran who called.

"Hey."

"It's snowing, there are few cars, I'll send you to Professor Song." Deng Xiran's voice was very cold.
