On the ground floor of the hostel, there is a small restaurant. When Jinzhi walked in, it was already full of people. The three of them were at the innermost table when it was cold, and the seat next to him was empty.

Jinzhi walked over, but a strange girl walked next to her, T-shirt and shorts, showing her beautiful long legs. The girl smiled and asked Ying Hanshi, "Is there anyone here?" ”

Ying Han looked up and said to her, "I'm sorry, my girlfriend hasn't arrived yet." The girl let out an "oh" and turned away.

Jinzhi walked over and sat down. Ying Hanshi looked at her, then turned his head to continue eating.

There was a lot of food on the table, Zhuang Chong scooped a bowl of white porridge for her, Lin Jie buried her head in eating and didn't pay attention to her. As soon as Jinzhi drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, he put down his chopsticks when he saw that it was cold, reached out and took a boiled egg, and began to peel the shell.

Jinzhi kept staring at his fingers.

His fingers have always been dexterous, white and clean, with even joints. Quickly peeled the eggs and gently placed them on an empty plate in front of her.

Jinzhi whispered, "Thank you." ”

His voice was soft: "No. Does it hurt to have a headache? ”

"It doesn't hurt."

"I drank yesterday, drink more water in a while."

"Okay."

The two men stopped talking. After a while, the restaurant was quite crowded, and they had eaten about the same. Lin Jie whispered, "Continue to follow Shen today?" ”

Nodding his head when he was cold.

Zhuang Chong said, "Then I'll rent a car." ”

At this time, Jinzhi spoke: "I won't go today, it shouldn't matter." ”

Zhuang Chong and Lin Jie didn't speak, but they replied "yes" when they were cold.

So after breakfast, Jinzhi went upstairs alone. Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat in the room for a while, Zhuang Chong came to knock on the door. As soon as he entered, he rushed into the toilet with a look of alarm and turned on the faucet. In the sound of the water, he lowered his voice and said to her: "Lin Jie and I will leave immediately and come to report to you." ”

"What letter?"

"I must have guessed something when I was cold." He said, "As soon as you left just now, he said let me go with Lin Jie, and he wanted to stay in the hotel." Lin Jie asked him why, and he suddenly glanced at me, his eyes were a little indescribably profound, as if he knew what I knew. Then he said: "It's hard for us, he has to stay with you 24 hours a day." ”

Jinzhi's heart was shocked, but Zhuang Chong smiled gently and said, "That's fine." With him, how could something happen to you? I'll go first. ”

After Zhuang rushed away, Jinzhi slowly sat down. But it came to mind again, and the appearance of holding her in his arms last night and sitting on the steps at the entrance of the temple was in his arms. She looked up at the white wall in front of her, and he had remained so silent, guarding her from the wall.

Jinzhi got up, sat down again with his back against the wall, and gently pressed his head against it. Then close your eyes and start remembering. She didn't go out with them today, she just wanted to sort out her thoughts.

She thought back to that scene. The first thing that comes to mind is a white shirt and a light blue dress. She had changed into this outfit this morning, and it was now piled up at the head of the bed. She immediately stood up and threw them all in the trash. Then sit back down and keep remembering.

She couldn't see that place clearly. I just remember that it was very dark, very empty, and there was no sound at all.

yes, there really wasn't any sound at all. The human ear is like being choked with cotton, and even the slightest sound of breathing or wind cannot be heard.

- It was a place of complete stillness.

But what is the place that is completely still?

She tried to think about what else was around her, and what the man looked like. But all she saw was a blurred outline of his back, a thin figure in a white shirt, and she didn't see his face.

——

At noon, there was a knock on the door. When Jinzhi opened the door, he stood under the eaves when it was cold, his eyebrows and eyes were as calm as spring and snow, and behind him was a clear blue sky.

"Let's go eat." He said.

"Okay." Jinzhi took the door and followed him downstairs.

The street was full of traffic, so it was not lively, but the pace of the two was silent. When I arrived at a restaurant, I stopped when I was cold and turned my head to look at her: "The people at the hotel said that this dumpling shop tastes good, and you have eaten very little these days, let's go and try it." ”

Of course, Jinzhi still said yes.

At noon, there were a lot of people in the store, and it was noisy. When it was cold, he chose a place by the window, asked the waiter for a pot of hot water, and swept the dishes and chopsticks of the two of them. Jinzhi watched his movements quietly, and in a trance he only felt that he was really just an ordinary earth man, not an alien who could throw a light blade.

After ordering the food, the two sat quietly and waited. The next table was noisy, so they were extraordinarily quiet. Jinzhi didn't like the stagnant atmosphere to spread for too long, so he found a topic and asked, "I met you for the first time in Bao'an Temple, and you said that you were looking at the Buddha's appearance and what was different from us. Why? ”

There was a light smile in his eyes, and he replied: "I have read in some books of you earthlings, and they suspect that the so-called 'Buddhas' and 'gods' are actually aliens who came to the earth in ancient times. It was they who created the first civilization of Earth. Ancient Egyptian frescoes and legends speak of the words 'God promised to return from among the stars'. ”

Jinzhi was very curious when he heard this, looked at his handsome face, and asked with a smile: "So you stood there and watched for so long, just to see if it was your kind?" Did you find out? ”

Ying Han seemed a little embarrassed, and replied with slightly lowered eyes: "I don't see any clues." ”

Jinzhi smiled, remembered the mission of their trip, and asked, "You said yesterday that aliens that can't be scanned by the energy radiation field may have high combat effectiveness. So what breed do you think he will be this time? She said this entirely because of Xiao Qiongyan's influence in Yilan Mountain, when he said that a fish and a plant could be aliens.

Ying Han said helplessly: "Jinzhi, don't use 'variety' to describe us. In fact, the universe is so big that the aliens I've seen are only a part of it. In the universe, there must also be a higher civilization than the dawn of the sun. I have heard veteran generals in the army say that they have seen human beings like phantoms. That race has evolved to live in a quantum state, traveling through time and space at will, immortal and immortal; It has also been said that on an asteroid, silicon people have been seen. In other words, they are made of silicon, look like stone figures, and breathe sulfur dioxide...... And so on, so we can't make judgments about what opponents we will meet this time. ”

Jinzhi listened attentively, nodded, and said softly, "Then you have to pay extra attention to safety." ”

He looked at her and replied, "Yes." Being stared at like this by his gentle dark eyes, Jinzhi was a little uncomfortable, lowered his head, and looked at the dishes.

At this time, the waiter came up with two bowls of dumplings. Jinzhi didn't like to eat dry dumplings, so he asked for soup dumplings. When it is cold, follow him, and it is also soup dumplings.

In the end, she was a little absent-minded, Jinzhi picked up the spoon, scooped one up and put it in her mouth, and took a bite of it. She threw the spoon into the soup with a "plop", lowered her head and spit it out, and then covered her mouth, very uncomfortable.

Ying Han was still paddling the soup with a spoon, and when he heard the movement, he raised his eyes, and then immediately held her wrist: "It's hot?" ”

Jinzhi nodded, picked up the cold water next to him and took a sip. But the coolness passed, and I felt even more acute pain.

"I'll see." Ying Han pressed her hand, but Jinzhi didn't let go of his big tongue to show him.

The young waiter next to him smiled: "Oh, I said girl, you are too anxious to eat." This soup dumpling has to be eaten slowly. It's hot, I'll pour you another glass of cold water. Why don't you ask your boyfriend to blow it off for you? ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. The waiter's original intention was to let her blow hot soup and dumplings when it was cold. But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Ying Han's ears were slightly red, and Jinzhi also lowered his head a little crampedly: "I don't need you to blow it for me." ”

The waiter suddenly understood how these two people wanted to "blow". He laughed and hurried away.

Jin Zhi still didn't want him to look at the scalded tongue, and the dumplings couldn't be eaten, so he changed the bowl of cold noodles and ate them slowly. And he didn't say anything more, just lowered his head and ate dumplings one by one.

When the two walked out of the hotel, the sun was the most blazing, illuminating the entire street. There were not many pedestrians, and the sound of cicadas could be heard from the big trees on the side of the road. It seems that this summer afternoon is lazy and silent.

He walked in front with his hands in his hands, his white shirt tinting faintly in the sun. Even the fingertips of those slender hands seemed to be stained with light. Jinzhi looked at the short black hair behind his ears, and only felt that his back seemed extremely lonely and silent at this moment.

Suddenly, he turned around, raised a hand, and took her face. Jinzhi felt his cool fingers grip her chin a little harder, and as soon as she looked up, she met the silent and gentle eyes, but also with a determination that no one could refuse.

So suddenly, he lowered his head and kissed her. It was just a quick kiss, but his tongue slid into her mouth, licked it lightly, and then withdrew.

Jinzhi's heart was like a storm suddenly coming, his heart was beating wildly, and he stood motionless.

But he let go of her face and turned his head away, turning his back to her.

"Let's go." He said.

Jinzhi said "um" and followed.

In the evening, Zhuang Chong came with a message that he could wait for an opportunity to do it at night.
