Chapter VIII

As promised, Shen Shaohua came to the place where Deng Xiran agreed to meet, which seemed to be a Chinese restaurant.

When I got there, I saw that the man had arrived, and because it was not far from the hotel, Shen Shaohua did not go out in advance.

"Hello, Shen Shaohua, my name is Deng Xiran." The man spoke fluent Chinese.

"Well, I'll keep you waiting, I've only been in Japan for a few days, and I'm not very familiar with this place, so I'm a little late." When Shen Shaohua was hit, he only thought that he could speak Chinese, but he did not expect that he was a Chinese.

"It's okay, I've just arrived."

The man took the menu and said a few words to the waiter in Chinese, and Shen Shaohua thought to himself: "He should live here permanently and be so familiar with this place."

Deng Xiran saw Shen Shaohua's wandering eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"Your phone." Shen Shaohua came back to his senses because of this sentence.

"I'm sorry for you, I wanted to take it and fix it myself." Shen Shaohua took the phone, flipped through the phone records, and said to Deng Xiran with a smile.

Deng Xiran looked at her small hands, slightly red, it should have been frostbite from forgetting to bring gloves when going out.

The waiter presented the dishes one by one, and Shen Shaohua couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw these dishes and thought that he hadn't returned to China to see his father for a long time.

"Miss Shen, are you okay?" Deng Xiran looked at her with a thin mist in his eyes, but his hand couldn't help but touch the top of her head.

Shen Shaohua felt strange, and hurriedly stepped back, looking at Deng Xiran's hand stagnant in the air.

"I'm sorry, I haven't been back to China for too long, so I'm a little homesick when I see these dishes." Shen Shaohua explained.

Deng Xiran withdrew his hand, "It's okay, then you have to eat more." ”

After a meal, Deng Xiran and Shen Shaohua said goodbye to each other.

Shen Shaohua returned to the hotel to continue sorting out the information, looked at the Zhengshan Xiaozhong black tea that Li Sijia gave her, and thought, "It's been a long time for Li Sijia to send a few packs."

There was a knock on the door, Shen Shaohua put down the tea bag and got up to open the door, and saw that it was a female colleague who had a good relationship with him.

"Shaohua, Professor Song asked me to inform you that I will attend a research meeting in the afternoon."

"I see."

After finishing speaking, the female colleague was about to leave and turned back to Shen Shaohua and said, "Shaohua, have you got your mobile phone?"

"Got it, just call me next time, don't come and inform me personally."

"Then I'll go, don't forget in the afternoon."

"Well, see you in the afternoon." Shen Shaohua waved at her, closed the door and continued to sort out the documents.

The afternoon research meeting was an hour's drive from the hotel, Shen Shaohua felt bored, so he flipped through his phone and found that there was more Deng Xiran's phone number in it, and after thinking about it, he should have saved it and didn't particularly care about it.

Seeing that Li Sijia posted a circle of friends on WeChat, he was immediately surprised and had three words in his mind: "I'm blind." The phone called, Li Sijia.

Shen Shaohua knew that he couldn't escape, so he answered the phone and only heard the other party say: "Shaohua, I'm in Sapporo, Hokkaido, I'll look for you in that hotel, and then we'll visit together, I heard that the food in Hokkaido is good, you want to invite me to a big meal."

Shen Shaohua didn't react at all in his mind when he had already agreed, and told her the location and house number of his hotel, and hung up the phone before he could say a few words.

Shen Shaohua looked out the car window and felt that he would be abducted by Li Sijia in his life.

"Shaohua, are your materials ready?"

"Professor Song, the materials are ready in the folder."

"Professor, do you have anything else to do?" Shen Shaohua felt that Professor Song was a little strange and asked the professor.

Because I had never asked her about information when I participated in various research meetings before, this time it was different.

"It's nothing, probably because I'm old and worry about a lot of things, unlike you young people who still go out to play." Professor Song joked to Shen Shaohua.

Along the way, Professor Song and Shen Shaohua talked about the content of the workshop and the promotion of Japanese eel conservation methods.

When he arrived at the location of the research meeting, it was an aquarium along the seaside, and Shen Shaohua had seen many aquariums, but the first time he held a research meeting in an aquarium was the first time.

Towards the end of the meeting, none of the organizers showed up, and the curator was always acting as his agent.

The glass door was gently pushed open, and the people who came in should not want to make any sound, but because of the curator's gaze, everyone looked at the door.

Shen Shaohua didn't pay much attention to it, but when he heard his colleague say, "The person with such a sign is definitely not a model." Tilt your head slightly to see the figure they are talking about.

Originally, he didn't pay attention to it and turned into a fright, he didn't see him for a few hours, he was actually the organizer of this research meeting, Shen Shaohua felt that he must have broken into a ghost when he went out today, just like the ancients often said: "Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles."

Deng Xiran obviously noticed the change in Shen Shaohua's expression, because when the phone was repaired, he accidentally saw a note prompt, and participated in the marine biology research meeting on the 12th, and then felt that the address was a little familiar.

I took my phone and looked at it carefully, wasn't it the research group I organized, and I originally wanted to bring her with me after eating, but she ran away because of her unreasonable behavior. Thinking of this, Deng Xiran chuckled.

When Shen Shaohua heard this chuckle, he had already retracted all his emotions, and it seemed that the chuckle just now was not made by him at all.

"Looks like I'm still late." Deng Xiran walked up to the agent and said.

The people present did not answer, but waited for the man in front of them to say something else.

"I'm sure everyone knows my dedication to the research and conservation of marine life. Professor Song, you are in charge of this project to study herring and protect Japanese eels, so if you don't have any opinions, please let the curator take you on a tour and have dinner together in the evening. After speaking, the director of the aquarium took them around the aquarium.

This oceanarium is larger than a regular aquarium because it is divided into two areas: tourist visits and research experiments.

Shen Shaohua looked at some fish, but did not pay attention to Professor Song, their departure led to the fact that he was now visiting this aquarium alone for more than three months, and there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Shen Shaohua was wondering, did Professor Song come over and was about to turn around, and there was a voice in his ears.

"Miss Shen, what a coincidence, we met again so soon."

Shen Shaohua saw Deng Xiran coming over and said, "It's really a coincidence."

"Why don't I take Miss Shen around?" Deng Xiran's gentlemanly behavior, if he refuses, it will make the other party wrong.

Shen Shaohua did not refuse to agree to him, and let him take him around.

"It turns out that Mr. Deng is also interested in marine life, and he knows so many marine species."

"Oh, I'm not interested in it and I don't know much about marine life as Miss Shen, do you say, Miss Shen." Deng Xiran slowly leaned over.

Shen Shaohua took a few steps back and touched the glass, which alarmed the sea moon jellyfish who was originally resting, and the surroundings suddenly lit up.

The faint blue light emitted by the moon jellyfish penetrated the glass, making the aisle where the two of them stood as blue and mysterious as the depths of the sea.

Shen Shaohua was gradually attracted by such a beautiful scenery, although she often dived to the bottom of the sea to study sea creatures, but it was the first time she saw the faint blue light emitted by such a large group of moon jellyfish.

The man on the side was also attracted by such a scene, but the blue light in the eyes of the person in front of him was even more attractive.

The sea light jellyfish gradually calmed down, and the surroundings also returned to their original appearance, and the two of them still introduced and listened to the same as before.

In the quiet aquarium, only Deng Xiran's warm and magnetic voice is fascinating, it seems very stable, giving people a sense of security and feeling very down-to-earth.

I walked all the time without being disturbed by others.
