Chapter 12: The Rain
It was raining heavily.
It was late in the evening, and it was as dark as late at night. Between heaven and earth, it seems that there is only the sound of rain.
Xie Jinzhi and Professor Xie sat by the window, she picked up the coffee in front of her and took a sip. And Professor Xie fell into deep thought after listening to her narration.
After a while, he suddenly looked up, looked out the window, and asked a sentence about not seeing each other:
"Jinzhi, how many days has it been raining like this?"
Jinzhi was a little surprised, but still replied, "Five or six days." β
He smiled. It's the kind of smile that only comes when he talks about scientific research.
"Seven days, to be exact. Daily from 6 to 8 p.m. with 20-60 ml of precipitation. Precipitation is lowest in urban areas and peaks in suburbs. β
Jin Zhi was slightly stunned, not knowing what he meant by saying this.
"You know." He took a sip of tea and said slowly, "In this season, in Jiangcheng, there shouldn't be such heavy rain. β
Jinzhi was silent, his clear eyes staring straight at him.
"I can't be too explicit with you." He continued, "It can only be said that our institute, and the research institutes of many countries, are making meteorological weapons. The short-term goal is to be able to precisely and secretly control a city's air currents, rainfall, lightning, storms, and more. β
Jinzhi's heart was shocked.
What does this mean...... This continuous heavy rain, they actually did it? She had always known that his research involved the military industry and was very secretive. I didn't expect it to be so close to her life and so ......
"Cool ......," she sighed.
But why say this to her?
Professor Xie said unhurriedly: "I mention this to you because I want to say that there are some things that ordinary people may find unbelievable - just like what you encountered. But it may be real, but it's not known to the public. β
Jinzhi nodded.
"It's the same with the artificial intelligence you told me." "Indeed, as far as I know, the level of public research in various countries is not at the level you mentioned. But we don't know if anyone can do it. There have been rumors in the outside world before, and you must have heard it - that the United States has captured alien spacecraft and aliens, mastered a large number of alien technology, and the level has far surpassed that of other countries - is this true? We also have no way of knowing. β
Jinzhi listened very attentively, thought for a moment, and said, "I understand." What you mean is: the 'water' in your scientific research community, especially in the military industry, is very deep, and many things cannot be easily concluded? β
Professor Xie was slightly stunned and smiled helplessly: "What did you say...... You can understand it that way. β
Jinzhi was a little disappointed: "So, this matter will always be an unsolved mystery?" β
"Not necessarily." Professor Xie smiled and said, "The experts from Jiangcheng University invited by your curator have limited level and vision after all, and they can't access a lot of confidential information. You send me the details and data of the system, and I will find a way to find someone to check it. However, you still have to be mentally prepared, and there may not be results. β
Xie Jinzhi nodded. After a moment of silence, he said, "In my lifetime, I will see it with my own eyes." Always trying to figure it out. β
It's a French restaurant, and it's not usually crowded. Today because of the rain, there are even fewer guests. Occasionally, people come in, and their bodies are also contaminated with moisture. French music is sung slowly, and the restaurant is quiet and soft.
"Tell me more details, what kind of person is that person?" Professor Xie said.
When mentioning Ying Han, the feeling in Jinzhi's heart is a little different from when mentioning others. Maybe it's because of his temperament, his side face, and his eyes are too clear and clean. So much so that when Jinzhi thought of him, it was as if he saw a pool of calm and clear water, slowly flowing in the moonlight.
"He ......," she began.
The breeze drove the wind chimes at the door, and there was a crisp and soft crashing sound. Someone walked in. The waiter greeted him softly: "Welcome, sir, how many?" β
Jinzhi looked up.
He wore a suit today. As usual, he wore a white shirt and no tie. He was carrying a black umbrella with a long handle, and the bottom was still dripping. His hair was also a little wet, and his face seemed even more cold and fair.
He handed the umbrella to the waiter, and looked at her as if he were aware of it.
The eyes of the two were quietly in the air.
Professor Tse is naturally very slow in observing words and feelings. He asked suspiciously, "Jinzhi, what's wrong?" Why don't you speak? I'm asking, what kind of person is that person. β
Jin Zhi returned to his senses. At this time, she also noticed a very light and gentle smile in Ying Hanshi's eyes, as if he was greeting her. The two looked at each other for a few seconds, then he turned his face away, followed the waiter, went to another table, and sat down alone.
"He ......" Jinzhi looked at Professor Xie and smiled suddenly, "I really don't know how to describe it." β
Yes, you think he's a master of the hidden world and will never meet again.
As a result, you can meet him when you go out for dinner. Take a clean black long umbrella and eat alone, exactly like a man next door who lives alone.
Seeing his sister's absent-minded look, Professor Xie frowned and patiently guided: "If you don't know how to describe it, then come one by one." His age, height, looks? β
"Oh." Jinzhi moved his gaze back to Professor Xie, and for a moment he was not sure whether to tell him the fact that he was in this restaurant when Ying Han was there. After all, Ying Han has been saving her, although I don't know what secrets he is hiding. But Professor Xie is a member of the country, what if he brings big trouble to Ying Hanshi?
So she replied vaguely, "Age...... 26, 27 years old. It's more than 180 points tall, and he looks pretty dignified and quite white. β
Professor Xie is a rigorous person, and he immediately took out his notebook and pen and wrote them down carefully. At this moment, Jinzhi noticed that Ying Hanshi's hands were on the dining table and his head was raised. He didn't look at her, but looked in the other direction with a calm expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
Professor Xie asked, "Did he disclose his address and personal information?" β
Jinzhi glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and replied, "No." He only said that he was a hacker and that he was out of nowhere. He's pretty shy. β
She just said this last sentence casually, Professor Xie glanced at her, and then buried his head in writing it down. At this time, when she caught a glimpse of Ying Han a few meters away, she slowly lowered her eyes, picked up the tea and took a sip. He sits upright, his eyebrows are clear, and his every move looks calm and decent. It's just that when he put down the teacup, a wisp of red appeared on his white jade-like cheeks. Then he raised his eyes and still looked away, not in her direction.
A very strange feeling suddenly arose in Jinzhi's heart. But this speculation is really incredible.
What does she think...... Do you seem to be able to hear them speak when it's cold? There will be such a reaction.
But how is it possible to be so far apart?
"Shy?" Professor Xie was a little curious, and asked, "Do you have any contact information for him, such as phone number, personal IP, etc.?" β
Jinzhi was silent for a few seconds. At the same time, she noticed that Ying Han was also sitting, his slender fingers holding the teacup motionless. It's like waiting for something.
The strange feeling in her heart grew stronger and stronger.
"Nope." She replied, "He probably doesn't want to be found." β
As soon as the words fell, I saw Ying Hanshi's eyes lowered slightly, a very faint smile appeared on his face, and then the white and beautiful fingers began to buckle lightly on the table. Seems to be in a good mood.
Jinzhi chuckled in his heart.
What's going on?
Could it be that he was eavesdropping on her? In some godly way? But they decided to come to this restaurant on the spur of the moment, and she didn't have anything in her bag. And sneaking around with a bugging device is not like what he would do.
Just as he was puzzled, Professor Xie, who was opposite, closed his notebook. Probably thinking that he couldn't ask anything, he said, "So, if you think of something, call me again." β
"Okay."
Looking at the afterglow, Ying Han sat as he was, with a calm expression.
At this moment, Professor Xie's mobile phone rang. About the phone is important, his expression became a little solemn, and he stood up: "I'll go out for a while." β
Jinzhi nodded: "Okay." β
Professor Xie hurried out of the cafeteria.
There were only a few tables of guests around, and in addition to the sound of music, there was only the sound of knives and forks touching the plates, and the sound of others talking. Jinzhi scooped up the soup and took a few sips. Then he raised his eyes again and looked straight towards the cold.
He kept his head down, looking at his phone.
In fact, at such a glance, he is also a very mature and handsome man. He was tall and leaning back in a high-backed chair. One hand on the table, the other holding the phone, fingers sliding slightly. Several waitresses next to him looked up at him from time to time.
But he didn't realize it.
"Ding Dongβ" Jinzhi's mobile phone on the table rang. At the same time, she put down her phone when she saw Ying Han and looked up at her with a clear gaze.
Hey?
Jinzhi picked up his phone. It was really a text message from him:
"Miss Xie, after the meeting between you and this gentleman, can you stay, there is something to discuss."
Jinzhi quickly replied with a "yes".
Then I saw the corners of his lips slightly raised, showed a little smile, and put down his phone.
Jinzhi picked up the spoon and scratched it in the bowl.
So, he appeared here, did he come to find her?
It must be for something important.
At this time, Professor Xie walked back, did not sit down, but picked up his coat and briefcase with a solemn expression, and said, "Jinzhi, I will send you back." I have something to do on the fly, and I have to rush back to the research group. β
Jinzhi paused for a moment and said, "No need, I have a friend who will come over in a while." If you're busy, let's go first. Is the situation serious? You okay? β
Professor Xie looked up at the window and was silent for a while.
"It's raining a little too much." He replied in a low voice, "It should be that the students have made a small mistake in some data, I'll go back and see and correct it." Not a big problem. β
Jinzhi nodded, and couldn't help but praise again: "You guys are very good." β
Professor Xie smiled slightly. turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly stopped again and glanced at her: "Jinzhi, you ......"
Jinzhi: "What? β
He hesitated for a moment, and finally said earnestly: "Be careful, don't be deceived by unknown men." β
Jinzhi: "......"
Suddenly reacted and glanced towards Ying Hanshi. But seeing that he also lowered his eyes slightly, his side face was clear, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Professor Xie is gone.
Jinzhi had already finished eating, and sat there for a few seconds before seeing him get up and walk in her direction.
Many people in the restaurant looked at this single man with outstanding appearance and temperament.
He walked unhurriedly, with a calm brow. Soon it was at her desk. He folded his hands behind his back as usual, bowing slightly towards her.
Jinzhi smiled and nodded: "Sit down." β
"Get in my car." He said.
There were a lot of people here, so I picked up my bag and got up. He stepped aside, looking very personable. The two walked to the door together at a distance of half a meter.
Outside the door, it was pouring rain. The two doormen bowed in unison: "Welcome back!" β
Jinzhi smiled. He walked a little ahead of her and stood up straight. With his hands still behind his back, he nodded slightly, his face calm. He took the umbrella from the doorman's hand and walked out on his long legs.
That feeling came again. Although he loves to blush, when he treats people, he has a natural bearing, calm and cold.
The two stood under the eaves, he opened his umbrella and looked sideways at her, his eyes dark.
"Wait a minute." He said, "I'll pull the car over." β
"No need." Jinzhi said, "Let's go over together." β
He was silent for a moment, holding one hand behind his back. Then move the umbrella, most of it, to the top of her head.
Jinzhi smiled lightly and walked into the rain side by side with him.
He walked steadily, without squinting, and Jinzhi followed step by step. The rain overhead was very loud, and the ground was full of running water. There are car lights to illuminate the water curtain, which makes people feel that the surrounding rainy night is dark and cold.
Soon I walked to the Porsche. Although Ran Yu had a sneaky glimpse of the car in the cold before, she didn't see who the owner was. So this is the first time Jinzhi has seen his car, which is quite unexpected. I just think that how can a person like him drive such a car.
There was a soft "drop" sound, and the lock opened. Beside him, he leaned over and opened the passenger door for her. From her point of view, I saw that he had a slightly drooping face and a calm expression.
Jinzhi suddenly spoke: "Why did you hear us just now?" Are you listening to me? β
His movements paused.
Both were silent for a few seconds.
However, he turned his face away and avoided answering her question directly, and at the same time avoided her gaze, only looking ahead: "Get in the car." β
Jinzhi looked at him twice, bent down and sat in the passenger seat. Then I saw him close the car door for her, put away the umbrella, go around to the driver's seat, and sit in. Then look down and pick up a pair of white gloves from the center console and put them on. The hands that are more even-boned are on the steering wheel.
Jinzhi quietly watched his every move.
Wear gloves when driving, and gloves when killing "it". This man is really weird.
"Where are you taking me?" She asked.
He started the car, looked ahead, and said in a slow voice: "Where no one is." β
