Qiyun and Wang Xue visited Professor Liu, Liu Bowen politely kept them and invited them to lunch, suddenly Liu Bowen's rapid cough caught Qiyun's attention, and asked worriedly, "Professor Liu, are you okay?"

Liu Bowen shook his hand, took a handkerchief to cover his mouth, spit out a mouthful of phlegm, wrapped it tightly and quickly withdrew it into his pocket, swallowed it and said, "It's okay, old problem."

Qiyun was still a little worried, so he said, "I just have time now, and I will take you to the hospital for a full body examination."

"Hey, it's so much of a hassle to go to the hospital, I'm fine," Liu Bowen said with a smile.

Qiyun couldn't be his own mentor, so he could only follow his temperament, and said, "Professor Liu, you have to believe in the current medical technology, and any disease can be cured for you" and then glanced at Wang Xue, wanting Wang Xue to persuade him too.

Wang Xue immediately said, "Yes, Professor Liu", and just wanted to continue, but was stopped by Liu Bowen and asked, "What do you kid call me?"

Qiyun looked nervous and said, "Liu, Daddy Liu."

At this time, Liu Bowen smiled and said, "That's right, otherwise I will hurt you in vain all these years, don't talk about it, I'll be unhappy, eat."

With the food on the whole, the fragrance comes to the nose, all of them are some simple home-cooked stir-fries, a fried green vegetables are all planted by Liu Bowen himself in the courtyard, it makes people greedy when they see it, if it is not necessarily sold for hundreds of yuan in the city, it seems that Liu Bowen's life is both free and comfortable, raising flowers and vegetables in the courtyard, self-sufficiency This is actually Qiyun's yearning for his old age, and said, "Dad, how is your life lately"?

Liu Bowen looked at Qiyun like a father looking at a child, and asked kindly, "You kid got into trouble again?" In Liu Bowen's eyes, Qiyun has always been a child who doesn't grow up, notoriously stunned, not to mention causing trouble, not to mention that he is at work in school, he is always scolding the leader, if it weren't for his own reputation here, he would have been fired a long time ago, and now he can still be the director.

"No, I swear" Qiyun immediately shook his head and said, "It's just that my work has been a little unsatisfactory lately."

"Isn't it bad with the subordinates?" Liu Bowen asked.

"No, it's just that they seem to have been deliberately avoiding me, and it's hard for me to get close to them, which makes me very distressed" Qiyun smiled awkwardly and touched his head.

Liu Bowen took out a wooden chopstick, went to clip the vegetables in the basin in front of him, but he couldn't eat it in his mouth, and then took out another one and it was easy to eat with a light clip, Qiyun didn't understand Liu Bowen's consciousness very well, and shook his head.

Liu Bowen said with a smile, "In fact, one chopstick can also eat vegetables, but isn't it easier to eat two, no matter what others think of you, no matter how difficult things are, you have to implement yourself, but don't you have a good candidate around you, just like this pair of chopsticks", Liu Bowen pun, Qiyun suddenly realized and looked at Wang Xue, Wang Xue lowered his head shyly, Liu Bowen smiled and said, "You have to thank her well."

Qiyun nodded and said, "Yes, I will manage the Astronomical Bureau with Wang Xue in the future."

Liu Bowen waved his hand and said, "You don't have to tell me this," pointed to his chest, "Just put it in your heart"!

Continuing to eat, Qiyun seemed to have completely untied the dead knot in his heart, the whole person wanted to open, and the time was not too early and he was about to say goodbye to Liu Bowen, a red imported hovering sports car stopped in front of the villa gate, and a woman and a man came down, Qiyun recognized the two people at a glance, and wondered, "Why did they come here?"

Liu Bowen glanced at Qiyun and asked, "Do you know each other?"

Qiyun wanted to say that he didn't know each other, he didn't know him too well, but he couldn't say it, and replied simply, "I've just met a few times"?

"Yes, you are also a member of the leadership now" Liu Bowen said and walked over and had an American hug with the blonde beauty in front of him, and that woman was Cheng Wen's sister Eiffel, who has now changed her name to Cheng Mei, followed by Gu Lei, Cheng Wen's personal secretary and housekeeper.

Gu Lei was wearing a suit and sunglasses behind him, Cheng Mei was wearing a red tight-fitting dress, delicate facial features, a pair of earrings on her ears, her figure was extremely enchanting, and her proud blonde hair was shining slowly in the sun, which was very different from what she had seen before, Qiyun couldn't help but want to rush out and ask her what happened that night, why did she take refuge in Cheng Wen?

Wang Xue stopped him and signaled Qiyun to calm down and stop acting like a child, Qiyun took a few deep breaths and followed Liu Bowen to meet him.

Gu Lei was taken aback when he saw Qiyun behind him, thinking about how he could see this kid everywhere, Cheng Mei obviously didn't care much, and behaved very naturally.

Qiyun didn't know why they came here, always felt that the comer was not good, Cheng Mei communicated with Liu Bowen in proficient English, and then slowly switched to Chinese, Liu Bowen admired the young man in front of him and said to Qiyun, "At this time, Director Cheng Mei of the Great Wall Science and Technology R&D Department, said that there is a Silicon Valley in country M, and now there is also a science and technology park in country Z, not to be underestimated"!

Seeing Qiyun looking at him non-stop, Cheng Mei nodded at him, Qiyun stepped forward, stretched out his hand and said, "I am the current director of the Astronomical Bureau, my name is Qiyun, hello", and then Cheng Mei also stretched out her hand out of politeness, and the two shook together.

Wang Xue was afraid that they would mess things up, so she broke out in a cold sweat, but fortunately she just shook hands.

"Hello, Director Qiyun" Cheng Mei said, "I heard that Director Qiyun was young, and now I see that it is indeed so, and it is a great honor."

This moment Qiyun was stunned, he didn't know how to answer, and he didn't know how to answer "You are also very young".

Cheng Mei smiled at the corner of her mouth after hearing this, and said, "You are so humorous."

Liu Bowen only thought that they were greeting, and invited them to the living room when they knew each other, and there were two more people, Liu Bowen's living room suddenly seemed a little crowded, and said, "Humble house, don't mind."

Gu Lei suddenly said after everyone sat down, "Professor Liu, let's not bother, we'll leave in a while", Cheng Mei said with a hint of disdain in her eyes, "I forgot, this is Cheng Wen, Minister Cheng's chief secretary Gu Lei."

Liu Bowen smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "It's all your own people, you're welcome, Minister Cheng is okay"?

Gu Lei obviously felt that these people in front of him didn't take themselves seriously, at least he had a bigger official position than any of you here, so he sat on the side and said, "Very good, you old man should pay attention to your body."

Qiyun listened to it and wanted to slap him, how to speak, but because of Liu Bowen's face, he didn't speak, Cheng Mei couldn't help but say, "Comrade Gu Lei, please don't intervene when I speak, if you can't complete the task then, it's not something you and I can solve."

Gu Lei sat silently next to him without saying a word, "Actually, we came here this time to ask Professor Liu, a key issue involving astronomy, I don't know if you are interested?" Cheng Mei said sincerely.

"I've been retired for several years, and my health is getting worse day by day, and I haven't dealt with astronomical problems for a long time," Liu Bowen said, shaking his head.

Cheng Mei stared at Liu Bowen and said, "I know this, but only you can solve this problem"?

Qiyun came interested and asked, "What is the problem"?

Cheng Mei also had nothing to hide, and continued, "It's about human exploration of outer space."

"Outer space exploration?" Qiyun knows that this is a thorny problem today, in the 22nd century, with the rapid development of science and technology, the earth's resources are becoming increasingly scarce, and the desire of human beings to find a second earth in space is increasing, because the energy limit of the spacecraft on the earth cannot make human beings get out of the solar system, and the way to leave the solar system is to make the spacecraft reach the speed of light, the energy has the law of conservation, the greater the mass, the greater the energy required, the mass is infinite when the speed of light is reached, and the energy required is also unlimited. For the time being, it has not yet been discovered that matter can continuously radiate energy on the earth, and it will never be exhausted.

"Yes, just by spreading with the help of ether, there is actually another form of ether as we know it," Cheng Mei said.

Liu Bowen suddenly stood up excitedly, the handkerchief in his pocket also fell to the ground, and said, "What do you say, the ether has another form"?

"Yes, but it's confidential, it's inconvenient for me to disclose," Cheng Mei said.

Liu Bowen sat back on the sofa, sighed deeply, and said, "If the blue is better than the blue, I am old."

"To be honest, your research is also a great inspiration for us, if you are willing to help, breaking through the speed of light is just around the corner" Cheng Mei's eyes revealed her vision for a better future.

Liu Bowen fell into deep thought, there was silence in the living room, Cheng Mei saw that Liu Bowen was so distressed, so she left her business card and said, "If Professor Liu is willing, you can call this number, and someone will answer it twenty-four hours a day."

Qiyun glanced lightly, quickly wrote down the phone number, he must have asked why Eiffel became the current Cheng Mei, after Cheng Mei and Gu Lei left, Qiyun picked up Liu Bowen's spitting handkerchief at his feet, and when he was about to return it to him, he found that there was blood on the handkerchief, Qiyun immediately stood up and asked, "What's going on?"

Liu Bowen touched his pocket, and then said slowly, "Actually, I just don't want you to worry, my cancer is running out of time."

This made Qiyun, who has always been optimistic, sad and said, "I'll take you to the hospital for treatment, I believe they must have a way."

"You make me even more uncomfortable like this, I am a dying person, and I have no regrets, but I don't want to bring the pain to you again, you guys go!" Liu Bowen waved his hand.

Qiyun looked at the lonely and almost old Liu Bowen, with indescribable regret in his heart, and said, "I will always take time to accompany you", Wang Xue also nodded, worthy of being his idol.

Liu Bowen looked at the two children in front of him, distressed and helpless, and said, "When the children go back, be careful on the road, the doctor said that I can't die for the time being, you have to work hard and don't worry about me anymore."

Qiyun turned his back and gently wiped away his tears, sick people are so optimistic, what reason do we have to grieve, leave the sadness to the air! Let it slowly take away until it disappears.
