Chapter 8 Invitation by the Sea
After the federal delegation returned to China, Xiao Ai also returned to the imperial capital.
Back in the dormitory of Imperial University, Xiao Ai first went to check the two Portis oranges she had planted, one of which was full of oranges, and in ten days, these oranges would probably be ready to be on the shelves. Xiao Ai compared the images of the flowering period of the two trees, and found that the difference between the two is quite obvious, the flowers on the Portis orange tree without fast-growing powder are obviously denser and shinier, Xiao Ai is looking forward to what the Portis orange that grows on this orange tree will look like.
Not long after returning to school, Xiao Ai received an invitation from the school's foundation, inviting Xiao Ai to attend the unveiling ceremony of a new plant variety at the villa of the foundation's main office on the weekend, which was built on a cliff on the other side of the capital star.
They were also invited to join the rest of their E12 squad teammates at Daystar, Rob, Tina, Lori, and Mingo. But because Rob and Tina are not in the capital star, it is Xiao Ai, Lori and Ming Ge who finally go to participate.
According to the arrangement, they will stay at the villa for two nights and attend dinners, parties and other things at the villa.
To be honest, when Xiao Ai knew that the entire E12 team had been invited, she immediately understood that this time it was related to the pink radish, because she and Lori used citrine to grow a pale yellow radish last time, so it was certain that there must be red crystals or pink quartz underneath the pink radish last time.
Lori knew this too, and he approached Ai and said, "Don't worry, we'll assume we don't know why we grow pink turnips." Xiao Ai nodded, but she was not as optimistic as Lori, she always felt that there must be some big move waiting for her behind.
At the end of the week, the trio set off together, as the Foundation's villa was on the other side of the capital star, so they needed to do a gravity rail car to cross the center of the earth, but the whole flight was just over three hours.
Xiao Ai hadn't seen Brother Ming for several months, and when she saw him, she felt that he was a little fatter again. Brother Ming touched his head embarrassedly: "It must be that I have been drawing too many drawings recently, and my work and rest and diet are irregular, so I am even fatter." ”
"Hey, Brother Ming, are you married or engaged?" Lori first spotted the ring on Ming's right hand. When Xiao Ai heard this, he also said gossipily, "Yo, why didn't there be any wind before." ”
"No, no, it's just that I recently had a girlfriend who asked me to bring it, and this ring doesn't contain anything." Brother Ming hurriedly denied it. Lori and Xiao Ai saw that Brother Ming was reluctant to reveal it, and they didn't ask.
By the time they arrived at the seaside villa, it was already past dinner time. The seaside villa is as exquisite as Xiao Ai imagined, the appearance is retro, it is a mild architectural style, Xiao Ai guesses that its appearance should be very strong, but it can only be felt during the day, but such a gentle villa stands on the cliff where there are big waves at all times, and it looks very out of place.
However, what surprised Xiao Ai the most was that not only the architectural style was retro, but all the furnishings and fixtures of this villa were retro. They were greeted by a real butler, dressed in meticulous black dresses, who ushered them into the villa and informed them that since it was past dinner time, the dinner prepared for the three of them would be delivered directly to their respective rooms.
After Xiao Ai entered the arranged room, she found the largest retro place in this villa, there was no trace of interstellar at all, it was the scene of an ordinary modern villa on earth, with beds, toilets, bathtubs and pools, etc., but there were no AI robots and automatic cleaning and disinfection systems in interstellar. Even the bathrobe prepared is a pure cotton bathrobe from the earth, not an interstellar high-tech microparticle fiber model.
Xiao Ai wondered if he would return to Earth after waking up from sleeping in a bed in such a room.
