At the New Minsheng Science and Technology Research Institute, Jia Ru greeted Du Cheng as usual.

But Du Cheng seemed to be listless, just a faint response, Jia Ru didn't particularly care, and just walked into the research institute and felt a strong atmosphere of joy.

Subconsciously came to the office of the person in charge, saw the smile on his face, and couldn't help asking: "The person in charge, what is so happy?" ”

At the same time, Jia Ru was driven by the person in charge with a happy face.

"Don't call me the person in charge, just call me Hu Juyi, or Brother Juyi." Hu Juyi first corrected Jia Ru's address to himself, and then answered Jia Ru's question, "You have a new colleague, marine biology." ”

"Marine biology?" Jia Ru muttered again.

Hu Juyi happily repeated, "Yes, marine biology is a high-achieving student. Eh, it seems like you're from the same university as Xiaoru. ”

"Xue Haiyang?" Jia Ru asked subconsciously.

Hu Juyi looked like he remembered it, and kept affirming, "Yes, yes, yes, it's Xue Haiyang, with the two of you in the institute, it's like a fish in water and a tiger with wings!"

"I'm really happy for the institute, Brother Juyi, you have used the idiom." At that moment, Jia Ru felt that the institute had a human touch, and also ridiculed Hu Juyi.

Hu Juyi smiled, "Xiaoru, he just arrived in Lailing City tonight, and he is not very familiar with the terrain here. ”

It turned out that the person in charge called himself back to receive Xue Haiyang, and he calculated well.

Jia Ru thought like this, and the corners of her mouth hooked up an obvious smile: Xue Haiyang, we meet again.

Hu Juyi told Jia Ru that Xue Haiyang was on his way to the institute now, but considering that it was too late, the institute hoped that Jia Ru could help arrange Xue Haiyang's living.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the research institute, Jia Ru received a phone call, without remarks, but the number was very familiar, it was Xue Haiyang.

"Hello?"

As soon as Jia Ru said a word, he was interrupted by the person on the other side of the phone, and the person's voice sounded very steady, "Is it Jia Ru?" ”

"Yes, Xue Haiyang?" Jia Ru asked tentatively.

As soon as he finished asking, there was a hearty laugh on the other end of the phone, and at the same time, Jia Ru heard the same laughter behind him.

Xue Haiyang? With such a question in mind, Jia Ru turned her head in anticipation.

After turning his head, he didn't see the other party's face as he wished, but crashed into a warm and firm embrace, Jia Ru didn't break free but raised his head to meet the person's eyes.

His body was suddenly hugged, Xue Haiyang smiled, and touched the head of the person in his arms, "Why, I haven't seen you for so long, but I have become more like a girl?" ”

Jia Ru let go of Xue Haiyang and glared at Xue Haiyang fiercely, "You will spend one night in my apartment today!" ”

Xue Haiyang smiled and teased: "Just one night? ”

Seeing Jia Ru glaring at himself again, Xue Haiyang avoided Jia Ru's fierce eyes and confessed. Xue Haiyang didn't say anything all the way, just quietly followed her back to the apartment.

Jia Ru cleaned up the room that Xue Haiyang had given Deng He to live in before, and Xue Haiyang also followed Jia Ru's arrangement and settled his luggage.

After washing, Xue Haiyang smelled the smell of rice, and walked into the kitchen to see that it was Jia Ru's freshly prepared supper.

"Are you hungry?" Jia Ru was the first to ask.

Xue Haiyang touched his stomach embarrassedly, from the time he got off the car to now, he was indeed a little hungry, and he didn't fake, he sat directly at the dining table, "Then I'll try your craft." ”

Jia Ru sneered, "Have you fulfilled your dream of college?" ”

Xue Haiyang took a sip of food, swallowed it and said, "Do you remember this?" You haven't cooked for four years, let me try your craft. ”

Jia Ru smiled and asked with concern, "Why did you come to such a small place in Lailing City?" ”

"I know that you won't be narcissistic and think it's because of you, but in fact, I came here because of something." Xue Haiyang's face suddenly became solemn.

Jia Ru sensed that Xue Haiyang had some important factors and came to Lailing City, but he didn't say anything, and Jia Ru didn't ask.

When you should know for yourself, you will naturally know.

Xue Haiyang was also familiar with Jia Ru's character, and said, "A few days ago, I was in F City. ”

"Coastal City F, you're in charge of oceanography." Jia Ru followed Xue Haiyang's words and analyzed.

Xue Haiyang nodded with satisfaction and continued: "When I inspected that ocean area, I found that it was slightly polluted. And after inspection, it was oil. ”

"You suspect it has something to do with the oil company in Ryling?" Jia Ru always guessed what Xue Haiyang was going to say, which was also the reason why the two of them became sworn friends.

Xue Haiyang nodded, "It's still impossible to determine, but after investigation, only this oil company has oil dealings with City F recently, and it is operated by the mayor himself." ”

Jia Ru frowned slightly, feeling that things were a little complicated.

"My suspicions need to be verified, so I took the initiative to resign in F City and come to Lailing City for verification." After Xue Haiyang finished speaking, he continued to eat supper.

Looking at Xue Haiyang's slow and logical appearance, Jia Ru knew that he must not be joking. The reason why Xue Haiyang didn't tell his own research institute was because he was worried that it was a problem from above, and then the officials protected each other.

After Xue Haiyang finished eating, he and Jia Ru cleaned up the dishes, chopsticks and kitchenware.

"The cooking skills are good, I don't know if I will be lucky enough to eat Jia Ru's cooking in the future!" Xue Haiyang sighed and sighed, this kind of relaxed appearance, he would only reveal it in front of Jia Ru.

"Look at how long you've been in Layling City, are you tired today? Let's go rest first, and talk about something tomorrow. ”

Jia Ru hurriedly urged Xue Haiyang to rest, and at this time received a strange call.

Xue Haiyang didn't move, and stood fixed looking at Jia Ru.

And after Jia Ru confirmed that she didn't know the mobile phone number, she hesitated and connected, because she hoped it was Deng He.

But the result was a big disappointment for her, and the voice on the other end of the phone was clearly Huang Zhaosheng.

"Jia Ru, I'm sincere......"

Before Huang Zhaosheng could finish speaking, Jia Ru interrupted: "I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood to listen to these words, I disappointed you." ”

What followed was the expected hang-up.

Xue Haiyang, who was standing on the side, showed a playful smile, and without speaking, Jia Ru knew what he was thinking, and he wanted to explain something but didn't know how to describe Huang Zhaosheng appropriately, so he had to remain silent.

Xue Haiyang also tacitly did not ask questions such as who Jia Ru was, real sworn friends, respecting each other's privacy.

"Good night, rest early today."

"Okay, that's right."

After the two of them exchanged goodnights, they went back to their rooms to rest.

In the middle of the night, Jia Ru dreamed again that she had become the queen of plants, and this was the third time.

Jia Ru looked at the subservient plants very calmly in her dream, some of them were growing very healthy, while others were not in good condition. What's even more excessive is that a few plants are completely black, as if they have been contaminated with some liquid.

Wake up suddenly.

"Whew-" Jia Ru exhaled, it seemed that the trip to the desert had left a bad impression on him.
