He was indeed drunk last night, and the next morning, Han Le, who woke up, said to himself.

"Morning," After seeing Qiao Yiyu in the living room, Han Le lowered his head to say hello, and after washing up, he hesitated for a while, and said embarrassedly, "If I said something last night that shouldn't be said, don't take it to heart." ”

"No, I'll take it to heart," Qiao Yiyu shook her head, "because I think you're telling the truth...... There's no need to apologize to me, you didn't do anything wrong. ”

But Han Le didn't think so, he felt that he had done a lot of things wrong, and yesterday was just a short day, and he suddenly found that he didn't seem to know himself anymore.

Qiao Yiyu was fiddling with a coffee machine in the kitchen, and soon she brought Han Le a cup of cappuccino, and when Han Le unconsciously dangled the coffee spoon in a daze, she said, "Han Le, do you have any arrangements today?" ”

Han Le shook his head, now he actually wants Qiao Yiyu to hibernate him again, rather than after a month as Qiao Yiyu said - in the face of problems, Han Le always tends to choose to escape, but he doesn't want to say it now, because if he does this, Han Le himself will despise himself.

"I want to take you to meet someone." When Qiao Yiyu spoke, Han Le was wearing Qiao Yiyu's skirt, this kind of feminine dress made him a little surprised, he suddenly realized something, and looked at Qiao Yiyu's hair - the length is not long, just ordinary short hair with ears, but this length is much longer than when I first saw Qiao Yiyu.

"Who?" Han Le guessed the answer that Qiao Yiyu might say, if she was going to take herself to meet those relatives who were already old, Han Le would resolutely refuse.

"Su Pei, do you remember?"

"Of course I remember," Zhou Hai, Su Pei, Zhu Yuxiang, Xie Yongqing, these names are the same to Han Le as they had just met yesterday, "he is ...... It's probably over 70, right, what is he doing now? "When Han Le played games with Su Pei before, he heard him say that he was four or five years older than him.

Qiao Yiyu shook his head, seemingly reluctant to talk about this topic: "When you see him, you will naturally understand." ”

It was only more than 8 o'clock when he went out, but the weather was already very hot, and the car outside was hot by the sun, and the first thing Han Le did after sitting in was to turn on the air conditioning outlet, and just caught a glimpse of the date displayed by the electronic clock - March 24th, Han Le was shocked by a large amount of information all day yesterday and couldn't think, didn't pay attention to these details, and subconsciously thought it was a continuation of April 35 years ago, but now that he is a little relaxed, he feels that something is wrong: "Why is it so hot in March?" ”

"The heat island effect, the greenhouse effect......" Qiao Yiyu glanced at him and said, "It's not strange, you can check it with your mobile phone, the North Pole disappears." ”

There's a lot of news about this keyword, but the absolute part of it involves a video and a dynamic map of the world, about a ship moving in a quiet ocean, filmed by a Russian who is talking in tongue-curling Russian commentary, saying that this is the Arctic — 30 years ago, scientists could still find large glaciers here, set up a research site, but now, all that is gone, All that remains is the vast expanse of the ocean and the occasional gas and oil extraction platforms. It won't freeze again until the Arctic winter hits, but it's not possible to form the same solid ice as before, and you'll only see large floes here.

The video on the news was shot 9 years ago, in 2039, but the latest comments under the video show that they are all recent, and there are many follow-up shots attached to it - all from this series, including Antarctica, the Netherlands, Venice, Siberia, Canada, ...... The greenhouse effect is no longer a simple environmental term in the Hanrak era, it has really begun to cause consequences around the world, some of which are regrettable, such as the disappearance of Arctic glaciers, rising sea levels, and many cities having to spend huge sums of money to build dams to resist the invasion of the sea (including Shenhai and New York), and some are reassuring, such as the large-scale agricultural development of Siberia in Russia in recent years, and many news stories talk about the future that Russia's agricultural production scale is expected to even surpass that of the United States.

"What do you think about environmental protection," Han Le asked Qiao Yiyu, but as soon as the words came out, he shook his head, "I'm afraid you don't need environmental protection at that time......

"We don't have the same definition of environmental protection, but there are still some of them," Ms. Qiao said, "and what we call environmental protection is to maintain order in the celestial bodies, such as avoiding mass accumulation to form new planets, or cleaning up space junk in time to avoid clogging shipping lanes." ”

"Aren't you hiding yourself and cleaning up?" Han Le smiled.

"What?" Qiao Yiyu didn't quite understand.

"It's nothing, it's just a sentence in the novel," Han Le didn't explain, talking about science fiction with future people feels like a child talking about politics in front of adults.

Qiao Yiyu didn't seem to know the road very well, and when he stopped at a few intersections, he would always look at the map that came with the car, and the car turned from the street into a community, which looked older than where Han Le lived. After parking under a residential building, Han Le followed Qiao Yiyu into the corridor.

pressed the elevator, waited for a long time and did not respond, at this time a young man walked in from behind them, carrying a large plastic bag in his hand, and walked up directly from the staircase on the side, Qiao Yiyu asked before he went upstairs: "Is the elevator broken here?" ”

The other party glanced at her before replying: "I've lived in it for more than two years, and I haven't seen it better." ”

"Then climb the stairs," Qiao Yiyu shook his head, "on the 8th floor." ”

Han Le hadn't tried to climb the 8th floor for a long time, and after arriving, everyone began to gasp, Qiao Yiyu walked in front and stopped in front of the door number of 804, Han Le thought that she was going to knock on the door, or contact the owner of the house directly, but Qiao Yiyu didn't do it, but took out a key from the pocket of her clothes.

"Here? Su Pei's home? Han Le looked at Qiao Yiyu with a little surprise, and his impression was that the relationship between the two could only be regarded as average - but who knows? It's 35 years after all.

"Sort of," Qiao Yiyu said, "he's been staying here." ”

The size of the house is small, not even a two-bedroom apartment, after entering through a small vestibule, you can see the layout of the whole house, in the only room to the right is a small toilet, on the left is the kitchen, and the balcony is in front. It looks like the layout here is more of a fortified version of a university dorm, somewhat similar to the nature of a bachelor apartment. It can be seen that there should be no one living here for a long time, the iron pot in the kitchen is full of yellow-brown rust, you can even see flocculent cobwebs on the walls, the tiles in the bathroom are even older and yellow, and the curtains on the balcony cover the windows tightly. On the left side of the room against the wall was a cuboid that was covered with a cloth, and if Han Le hadn't guessed, he thought it should be a bed.

But it turned out that Han Le guessed wrong again, Qiao Yiyu turned around, went to the entrance to turn on the light, and then walked straight to the cuboid covered by the cloth, and carefully uncovered the cloth - the moment he saw this thing, Han Le was almost a little unsteady on his feet - it was a freezer that was one size smaller than Han Le's house.

Although the answer was about to come out of his throat, Han Le still controlled himself and did not say it rashly, he wanted to take two steps forward to confirm this, but he felt weak in his legs. At this time, Qiao Yiyu turned around, she noticed Han Le's discomfort, and asked him with concern, "What's wrong?" What's uncomfortable? ”

"No," Han Le grabbed Qiao Yiyu's arm deadly, like a drowning man grabbing a plank, panting heavily. After a long time, he looked at Qiao Yiyu and asked, "Can you tell me how many people have been ...... like me?"

"You think too much," Qiao Yiyu said, "There are only two of them, you, and Su Pei." ”

This answer made Han Le breathe a sigh of relief, because just now, he suddenly had a very absurd, almost terrifying thought—maybe there is such a freezer in every room in this house, or in this community......

Compared to the world outside the freezer that has been decayed by time, the freezer looks much cleaner, although it is still separated by glass and cold, but Han Le still recognizes Su Pei who is frozen inside at a glance, compared with the impression, Su Pei who is lying down looks a lot thinner, the expression on his face is a little dignified, Qiao Yiyu removed the glass, put his hand in and checked Su Pei's body, which is not much different from the situation before hibernation.

Qiao Yiyu withdrew his hand, closed the glass door of the freezer, turned his head to look at Han Le with a surprised face, and said, "Do you want to ask me why he is also hibernating?" ”

Han Le nodded fiercely, saying that it was impossible not to be curious.

"If I say it's because of you, I'm afraid you're a little hard to believe it, right?"

"Because of me?" Han Le didn't react, he thought hard for a long time, and could only guess roughly, "Could it be that he has some terminal illness?" ”

"Even if he really has a terminal illness, I won't care about it," Qiao Yiyu shook his head, "I can't take care of it...... Don't talk about this, do you know what Su Pei's identity is? ”

"He mentioned that he was freelancing......" Han Le recalled, it seemed that in his dealings with Su Pei, the two of them played games at most, and rarely talked about their personal lives, "Isn't it?" ”

"It's true that it's freelance, but it's very different from what you imagined, remember that time Xie Yongqing said that his home was burglarized?"

Han Le nodded, looking at Qiao Yiyu's expressionless face, the expression on his face began to be rich.

"That time it was him," Qiao Yiyu nodded, confirming this, "but that's not all...... He's not actually a thief, to be precise, you might be able to call him a private investigator, and some people call them private detectives. ”

Han Le's mouth was wide open, this news was obviously more incredible to him than he learned that he woke up in 2048.

"He approached you, or approached us, just because one of Zhou Hai's subordinates asked him to do this, I went to confirm this with Zhou Hai, but I don't know if this is what he meant," Qiao Yiyu said, dusting the chair next to the table with the one he had just taken down, because Han Le seemed to be unable to stand anymore, "But one thing is for sure, since he came to your house, our actions have been under his surveillance." In the fourth year after you hibernated, he came to me at the time of staying in a family hotel in France, and he said he wanted to hibernate like you. ”

Han Le couldn't think anymore, just sat down and listened to Qiao Yiyu slowly tell him this story that didn't seem to have anything to do with him, but it was very related-

Qiao Yiyu naturally subconsciously denied and refused at that time, but Su Pei was fully prepared, and before he came, he even brought a testing instrument to Han Le's house to test Han Le's physical condition - of course Han Le himself didn't know anything about it, but when he thought of this scene, he felt a chill in his heart.

"At that time, his tone was very resolute, and he even brought me a critical illness notice to show me, saying that he had liver cancer," Qiao Yiyu recalled the scene at that time, Su Pei slapped a pistol in front of Qiao Yiyu and said to her - "Either you save me once like you saved Han Le, or you kill me now...... If you don't save me, it's no different than you kill me. ”

"Of course, he said that if he died, he would reveal everything he knew - he didn't know who I was, but he knew I didn't want attention, and that was the most important factor in his threat to success. But then again, I didn't lose anything. Later, I went to the hospital to check his case, and there was no such thing as liver cancer at all, and he was just unwilling to watch himself age like everyone else, which I can understand. ”

Qiao Yiyu said lightly in her mouth, but the scene when Han Le was able to really happen, if it weren't for herself, if it weren't for Qiao Yiyu's scruples, she would never have been threatened so simply, before this, Xie Yongqing also "threatened" her matter, in the face of such a threat, Qiao Yiyu would rather choose to expose than compromise. As soon as he thought of this, Han Le felt an indescribable complication in his heart - in the final analysis, it was all because of himself.

"You've been hibernating him until now?" While speaking, Han Le stood up and glanced at Su Pei again, that is, after a few minutes, Su Pei's image in his eyes completely changed - a private detective! If Qiao Yiyu didn't say it, Han Le would never have imagined that such a role would appear in his life.

"Can I still kill him?" Qiao Yiyu smiled, "It's not that I haven't thought about it that way, but I can't guarantee if he has taken any insurance measures, maybe someone has been coming to see him when he is hibernating...... Even without these risks, I can't just kill someone, no matter what kind of person they are...... He wasn't wrong, he just wanted to live as simple as that, and he realized that he would die, if not from illness and accidents, but from old age......"

"Then why are you letting me come and see him?" Han Le didn't understand, "Do you still want him to be my companion?" ”

"I do think so, after all, you are from the same era."

Han Le sneered and said, "Did he say when he wanted to wake up?" ”

"No," Qiao Yiyu shook his head, "I didn't explain the principle of hibernation to him, and he didn't ask - he didn't have a deep understanding of the concept of hibernation, he thought that this process was self-awakening like animal hibernation, and I didn't tell him that the process was completely controlled." ”

"Then let him fall asleep," Han Le shook his head disdainfully, "Sleep as long as you like." Han Le can understand his motive for doing this, but this does not mean that he can approve of his approach - using this kind of threatening means to achieve the end is beyond Han Le's moral bottom line.

But Qiao Yiyu shook his head: "No, I came today to wake him up." ”

"Why?" Han Le screamed incomprehensibly, "Do you want to wake him up and threaten you again?" ”

"Even if it is a sentence, there will be a day when the sentence is over," Qiao Yiyu patiently explained, "We can't keep him here all the time, this is to escape the problem and not face the ...... Then again, what else can he threaten us now? If I don't say it, he doesn't even know when you'll wake up. After so many years, what he did has completely passed for me, and it has not had a tangible impact on you, I don't care, what are you anxious about. ”

Han Le never had the ability to persuade Qiao Yiyu to change his mind, and he had to give up after a few times. Then cut off the power of the freezer with her, carry the person out and put it on the sofa first, and wait for the body temperature to gradually rise, in the process, Qiao Yiyu found a blanket from the room and spread it in the center of the room, when Su Pei's body temperature returned to normal, the two put him down on the blanket again, and then Qiao Yiyu stretched out a hand, put it on the back of Su Pei's hand, leaned back against the sofa, and said to Han Le before closing his eyes: "This may take a few hours, you wait patiently." ”

If the previous treatment was compared to "losing true qi", then now Han Le's behavior is like protecting the Dharma on the side when a hero is exercising. Qiao Yiyu went into sleep very quickly, and Han Le almost watched her gradually decrease from her normal breathing rate, weaken, and finally disappear almost completely.

This should be the first time that Han Le can look at Qiao Yiyu unscrupulously without the other party being aware of it, and tell him that the current Qiao Yiyu is an "old woman" who is over half a hundred years old, but her appearance has always conveyed such a message - what is sleeping in front of him is just a girl in her twenties. Because of the hot weather today, Qiao Yiyu only wore a short skirt of light red that was lower than her knees and a T-shirt of the same tone, which made her look more appreciable visually - after realizing what she was thinking, Han Le immediately denounced her vulgarity in her heart, but he had to admit that he was indeed happy to appreciate this kind of female beauty, and if he could, he would be willing to sit here for a day and watch it for a day.

After watching Qiao Yiyu for a while, Han Le went to the balcony to look at the scenery outside the window, and after a while, he would turn back, between these repeated back and forth, time passed quietly, I don't know how long it took, in Han Le's gaze again, Qiao Yiyu's chest began to rise and fall, and after about twenty minutes, she opened her eyes and said to Han Le: "He is also about to wake up." ”
