Boyun City, an incredible city of science and technology.

Thirty years ago, that is, the twentieth year after the end of the Third World War, in order to avoid the outbreak of a larger-scale war and for the survival of human civilization, the United Nations passed an almost absurd resolution, that is, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, a new city will be artificially built at the joint expense of various countries, and all the world's cutting-edge scientific and technological research institutions will be relocated here, and the city will be permanently neutral territory, and the scientific and technological breakthroughs and inventions here will only belong to individuals or institutions, and not to any country or government。

When the news spread to the world through the news, almost all scientists thought that the heads of government were crazy, but the reality was always stranger than people imagined, and in the second year after the city was erected, the world's top 50 universities announced that they would relocate to the city, which caused a bigger sensation in society for a while than when the city was founded, and many well-known scholars stood up against it, but their voices were soon drowned out in endless quarrels on the Internet.

The questioning of public opinion did not succeed in stopping this farce, on the contrary, one university after another, one institution after another moved here, and in just ten years, Boyun City has become a city of science and technology that has never appeared in human history, here, there are doctors everywhere, research institutions everywhere, wild conjectures can easily find resonance, crazy inventions have a large number of investors to take over.

Such an environment has made the speed of science and technology develop at an unprecedented speed in human history, controllable nuclear fusion technology, biological protein synthesis technology, gene grafting technology, one problem after another has been solved, one theory after another has been confirmed, Boyun City has become a scientific holy land, and even has the "light of mankind" No one will question the resolution that seemed inexplicable at the time 30 years ago, and no one will question why the top universities would move here en masse, which has long since become a very prescient move in today's public opinion, and is a great decision to move human civilization forward.

As outstanding college students with lofty ideals, Liu Ye and Chen Siyun stayed in the city to look for work after graduating with a master's degree from Bogu University two years ago. In the first year after graduating, the two dreamed of finding someone willing to invest in their future in this mecca of science, but it backfired, and the two hit a wall again and again in the interview. Under the pressure of life, Liu Ye finally chose a large company to be a social animal that worked tirelessly every day, but Chen Siyun was still unwilling to give up, relying on the financial support of his family and insisting on his ideals.

On the weekend, Liu Ye lay on the bed in the bedroom of the apartment like a salted fish, the residence of the poor is destined not to enjoy the dividends brought by scientific and technological progress, and the apartment he lives in is almost no different from the apartment where the social animals lived a hundred years ago. In the space of more than 40 square meters, several white walls barely separate the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, and the pale blue curtains hang on the rusty window edges, and the sunlight shines through the cracks in the curtains, illuminating the scattered documents and books on the floor. He was lying face down, his phone on the bedside table buzzing and vibrating, but he didn't bother at all, and instead covered his head with the quilt.

But the person on the other end of the phone seemed to be competing with him, calling one after another, Liu Ye's mobile phone vibrated and continued to move towards the edge of the bedside table, and finally fell to the ground with a "snap", Liu Ye slammed off the quilt, sat up and yawned, and reluctantly picked up the mobile phone.

"Hey—"

"Why the haven't you answered the phone for so long!" the person on the other end of the line was furious.

Liu Ye removed the phone from his ear, glanced at the name of the caller: "Chen Siyun", and then, he took a deep breath.

"Chen Siyun, open your dog eyes and take a good look, what time is it? Seven o'clock! What time is the week today! Saturday! If you don't let people sleep on the weekend, you will lose your life! You also asked me why I didn't answer the phone for so long, I obviously think about your lifespan, if you have nothing to do, I will hang up first, I wish you a long life, a hundred years old, a long life, a long life, and Tianqi, thank you goodbye. After speaking, Liu Ye threw away the mobile phone and lay on the bed with a "bang".

"W-z-" The phone was still vibrating.

"Hey—"

"Ah Ye, I have important news to tell you, quickly pack up and go downstairs, I'm downstairs at your house. ”

Liu Ye glanced at the caller ID again, and it was indeed Chen Siyun.

"Didn't you wake up, big brother, just your little, what's so important that you have to meet and tell me at this o'clock on Saturday morning. ”

"Liu Ye, I need your help!"

This time Liu Ye didn't complain again, Chen Siyun didn't sound like he was joking. He slapped himself hard to sober himself up, quickly changed his clothes and went downstairs.

"Ahh......h

Downstairs, a man wearing a classic polytechnic men's plaid shirt and jeans patted Liu Ye's shoulder and laughed excitedly, Liu Ye rubbed his neck and looked at him with a dissatisfied face, he didn't expect to run down nervously, this guy actually just came to show off that he had finally found a satisfactory job, if it weren't for the friendship between the two of them for many years and exuding a little faint afterglow, Liu Ye would have pressed Chen Siyun to the ground and rubbed it.

Finally, after he finished laughing, Liu Ye had to ask, "What job have you found?" ”

"It's not safe here, let's go up and say. Chen Siyun smiled slyly.

"I'm nervous, and I'm still doing this kind of ......" Liu Ye shrugged his shoulders and gave him a blank look.

"Let's go, let's go, go upstairs, upstairs. With that, Chen Siyun pushed Liu Ye up the stairs.

"Hey, so, what is the purpose of you calling me downstairs, can't you come up by yourself?" Sitting down at the small table in the bedroom, Liu Ye threw Chen Siyun a can of Coke.

"Well, don't be so angry. Chen Siyun smiled and opened the can with a sting, "This work is so perfect, I'm so excited." ”

"What the hell is the job. Liu Ye also opened a can of Coke and took a sip, "Don't hide it, say it quickly." ”

"It's the people from the 'Tears' company, they found me some time ago. Chen Siyun put the can on the ground, "They took a fancy to my project." ”

"Which project? the one you've been pushing?" Liu Ye tilted his head and thought for a while, "If I'm not mistaken, you had a preliminary idea in your sophomore year, right, and what awards did you win at that time?"

"Yes, I won the Star Spirit Award for that project. Chen Siyun looked up at the ceiling, as if she suddenly fell into the sentimentality of memories, "That's the highest honor an undergraduate can get! If I hadn't won that award, maybe I wouldn't have persevered, maybe I would have become a salted fish like you and compromised my life." ”

"Hey, why are you still scolding?" Liu Ye glanced at him, "Come to my house early in the morning to bury me, be careful that I use your face to wipe the floor in the room." ”

"Don't, don't. Chen Siyun hurriedly waved his hand, "It's okay for me to apologize to you, so let's treat you to dinner." ”

"One meal just wants to change my early morning sleep on the weekend, is my time so cheap?" Liu Ye took a sip of Coke and cocked Erlang's legs, "No matter how you say it, you have to have two meals, it's all inclusive at noon and night, and I have to choose." ”

"Okay, okay, you can choose in Dongcheng District. Chen Siyun showed an expression of "you have won" and hung her head in frustration.

"That's pretty much it. Liu Ye showed a smile that had succeeded in his treacherous scheme, in fact, he was not very angry, but this guy finally flew up the branch and became a phoenix, and he always felt that he had lost something.

Maybe there is another reason, Liu Ye looked at Chen Siyun in front of him, and sighed softly, this genius boy who has never admitted defeat to life came to share happiness with himself with the script of carp jumping over the dragon gate, I don't know if I ever thought that doing so might cause my jealousy.

If that didn't happen, would he have been able to be like him if he had persevered at the time?

"Ding Dong-" The sudden ringing of the doorbell interrupted Liu Ye's thoughts.

"Do you have a guest?" Chen Siyun's hand holding the can stopped in mid-air, "You kid, do you have acquaintances other than me in this city?"

"I'm not you, you social phobia. Liu Ye stood up and went to open the door, although his mouth was very tough, but his heart was full of doubts. Even though he was very reluctant to admit it, what Chen Siyun said was actually right, and the only friend he knew so well in the city that he could come to the door without saying hello was Chen Siyun. His weekend plan is to lie at home, that is, he didn't have an appointment with anyone today, so who could it be......? Could it be that he was fired from the company because he was waiting for death?

With uneasiness and doubt, Liu Ye opened the door.

There were two people in strange costumes standing outside the door, one was a brown-haired man who was more than one meter nine tall, wearing a black robe and sunglasses, and had an unknown amount of hairspray on his head, his body was not particularly burly, but the aura exuded from his body brought huge pressure to Liu Ye. The other is a girl about 1.6 meters, with shoulder-length black hair, a golden dress and snow-white stockings, and a pair of white silk gloves, she stands next to the man in black, like a doll.

"Who are you?" Liu Ye instinctively wanted to close the door, but the man in black leaned against the door frame.

"You're Liu Ye, right?" the doll-like girl spoke, her voice was crisp and her tone was playful.

"I, my name is Chen Siyun. Immediately, Liu Ye hid his real name.

"Ahh

"Really, really. Liu Ye nodded vigorously, no matter what the identities of these two people were, in short, they didn't seem to be good.

"Ah Ye, who the hell is it?" Chen Siyun's voice came from the room.

It's over, it's exposed.

"Eh, it looks like we're not looking for the wrong person. The girl jumped into the house lightly, and when she stood in the room, Liu Ye unconsciously took half a step back.

"Ah Ye?" Chen Siyun, who didn't get a response, walked out of the room, "Damn, who are they?"
