Chapter 17: Meet You
"I'm online." Jinzhi made a choice.
Ying Hanshi nodded and took an ultra-thin Apple notebook from the table. Jinzhi took it, thinking to himself, this is like the computer that aliens will choose.
"I'll take care of your phone, wait." He said.
"Okay."
In the empty living room, she was the only one left.
She looked at the computer screen, opened the web page, and typed in four words:
Butterfly Nebula.
She was looking intently at the gorgeous pictures of the nebula and the lines of explanatory text. Suddenly, I heard a very close and deep voice in my ear: "What are you looking at?" ”
Startled, Jinzhi closed the computer screen and looked up.
Xiao Qiongyan didn't know when she came back, still holding a plate of delicious small cakes in her hand, standing less than a meter away from her, bending down and looking at her with a smile.
Jinzhi: "...... Didn't look at anything. She put down the computer, Xiao Qiongyan also put the pastry on the coffee table, and then sat down beside her.
Jinzhi looked at his limbs, bending them at a very natural and fluid angle. It's really just like a person, sitting generously. Then he looked at her again, stretched out two slender fingers, took a piece of pastry, and handed it to her: "Eat?" ”
Jinzhi stretched out his hand and took it: "Thank you." "When I took a bite, it was really delicious.
Xiao Qiongyan suddenly grinned again, and asked in a low voice, "Do you really want to touch me again?" ”
Jinzhi was stunned, then finished the pastry in three or two bites, and looked directly into his red lens eyes: "Is it okay?" ”
"Oh......" a deep laugh came out of his chest, "of course, please do it." With that, he also raised one arm and made a gesture like a man puffing out his arm muscles. Although there is no muscle there.
Jinzhi reached out and touched it gently along his arm. Cold-hard metal, but seems to have a bit of toughness.
Xiao Qiongyan suddenly sighed heavily. Jinzhi looked up at him.
"You're so daring." He raised his hand and made a very manly gesture - he covered his forehead with his palm, looking very emotional, "Last time, a courier accidentally saw me and was directly stunned." It is said that he resigned the next day and stopped working in this area. ”
Jinzhi couldn't help but laugh, and asked a doubt in his heart just now: "Why are you called that?" ”
Xiao Qiongyan is classical and domineering.
He looked at her strangely and said, "You are so smart, didn't you guess it, it's a homonym." ”
"Homonyms?" Jinzhi thought for a moment and shook his head, "I can't guess." ”
He squinted his red eyes and smiled, "Oh, that's right, my real name is Little John, and everyone used to call me that." When I arrived on Earth, I thought I should change my name to the local customs, so I visited the naming website for many days. Xiao Qiongyan, Little John, Xiao Qiongyan is Little John, don't you think it's perfect? ”
Jinzhi was silent for a few seconds and nodded affirmatively: "It's perfect." ”
At this time, Xiao Qiongyan looked up at the clock on the wall, suddenly stood up, picked up the remote control on the coffee table, and turned on the TV. Then he turned to look at her with a smile: "It's time for the dance program." Miss Xie Jinzhi, if you don't dislike my mechanical body, can you dance with me? After a pause, he lowered his head again and sighed softly: "After all, it has been many years since no one danced with me. ”
Jin Zhi was slightly stunned. Originally, she didn't know and didn't like to dance. But she was silent for a moment and stood up: "Okay. But I'm not very good at jumping. ”
Xiao Qiongyan held her hand, and her mouth was about to burst into her ears with laughter: "It's okay, the key is to have someone to accompany you." The boss never danced with me. ”
Jinzhi also smiled. She thought, just hang around with him a few times, just fine.
At this moment, Ying Hanshi walked out of the inner room. Xiao Qiongyan and Xie Jinzhi turned their heads to look at him at the same time.
He had already changed his clothes, a clean and soft thin white sweater, black trousers. It's just that he still doesn't wear shoes, only a pair of black socks. He glanced at the two of them, and his eyes fell on the TV again, as if he guessed what Xiao Qiongyan was pulling her to do.
He walked up to her: "The phone has been repaired, I'll send you home." ”
Jinzhi took the phone and didn't look out of the ordinary. She put it in her pocket, then turned her head to look at Xiao Qiongyan.
Xiao Qiongyan's eyes drooped down, and his head hung slightly, obviously showing a very disappointed expression.
"She can't dance with you." Ying Han looked at him with his hands in his hands, his eyebrows not moving.
"Oh......" Xiao Qiongyan replied softly.
Jinzhi was a little strange why he didn't allow it when he was cold, but he naturally had a reason for saying this. So she softened her voice: "Xiao Qiongyan, goodbye." ”
Xiao Qiongyan looked up at her and smiled again: "Miss Jinzhi, goodbye!" ”
The two walked out of the hallway. The moment the door was closed, Xie Jinzhi turned his head and saw Xiao Qiongyan in the door reluctantly waving to her.
"Don't be soft-hearted." Ying Hanshi's voice sounded beside her.
She looked up at him.
And he looked calm: "Unless you want to jump with him...... His favorite veneer dance. ”
Jinzhi: "...... I see. ”
It's already the second half of the night. The two got into the car, and Jinzhi looked up. Although there is no starlight tonight, the night after the rain is very refreshing. When the car passes through the flower garden, all kinds of fresh earthy flowers and plants are coming.
Thinking back on tonight's experience, it still feels like a dream. But at this moment, Ying Hanshi sat quietly beside her, he was indeed as pure as a man from another world, but he was such a real existence.
"I looked it up on the Internet just now." She turned to look at him, "Butterfly Nebula...... It is formed after the death of the star and its galaxy. ”
Ying Han was silent for a while before replying, "Yes." My home planet has been destroyed. ”
The Porsche continues to move forward smoothly.
"Why did you come to Earth?" She asked again.
Ying Han did not answer immediately. He looked up at the night outside the window. The city has clearly fallen asleep, and only a few tall buildings are still lit up. The green belt on the side of the road is also covered with raindrops, and every leaf is green and fresh.
In his mind, he remembered seeing the Earth for the first time.
He was lying alone in the cold cabin, and when he looked up, he saw the blue, quiet planet outside the window.
"I think ......," he replied, "might be able to live the rest of my life peacefully on this planet." ”
Jinzhi looked at him and didn't say anything more.
She remembered that day in the library, Zhuang Chong had said that he should be a soldier when he was cold.
A military man from an alien terrestrial. is such a gentle young man.
She couldn't imagine the life and life he had ever had.
——
When she got downstairs, she pushed the door and got out of the car, and he also stood up.
Jinzhi took the handbag, walked to the door of the building, and turned his head again. And he stood beside the car with his hands in his hands. The street lamp shone down from the top of his head, illuminating the clean, white silhouette as well.
He watched her quietly.
Jinzhi: "Goodbye." ”
He bowed slightly: "Goodbye." ”
Jinzhi took two steps up, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that he was still standing in the distance, motionless. It seems that it is necessary to see her go upstairs to complete the etiquette.
She turned her head to look at him again: "When it is cold, will we see each other again?" ”
He seemed stunned. Then he smiled, the kind of smile that was warm and silent.
"I'm not good at making friends, except for Xiao Qiongyan, I haven't had friends for a long time." He said slowly, "Maybe the stars are destined for our encounter." I hope to meet you again. ”
The night was quiet, and his voice was as warm and deep as the ice and snow melting. And his expression is also soft and sincere. Jinzhi didn't expect him to answer so solemnly, and under his clear and watery gaze, her face was actually a little hot.
She nodded, "That's good, goodbye." ”
"Goodbye."
She finally went upstairs, and stood in place for a while when it was cold, and then got in the car and drove in the direction of home.
The scenery outside the window flashed like a glimpse of light, but in his mind, Xie Jinzhi's appearance appeared again.
He remembered the first time he had met her. She sat in the temple, her brow furrowed slightly, her expression solemn but fearless. And he stood in the crowd, and in addition to the wind in his ears, he heard her whispering: "I met a ...... Bizarre thing. ”
The abnormality of the library chip has long been detected by Xiao Qiongyan. That's why he stepped forward and wanted to lend a helping hand to her.
However, she did not frown, and rejected his kindness.
Then in the library, in the virtual world, in the tunnels under the elevated sky...... She was afraid, brave, or ...... She is unreasonable for no reason, but the only thing that remains unchanged is her eyes, clear and fearless, like a reflection of bright stars.
He raised his hand again and touched his lips lightly. My ears are a little hot again.
In the army before, it was not that there were no women who flocked to him. But he was in his early teens and twenties at the time, and he was still too young to have that kind of thought.
I didn't want to come into contact with an earth woman for the first time, so I kissed her.
Although she didn't care. I even wanted to reach out and touch his ears.
This made his mood a little anxious, a little soft, and a little helpless.
Is this how a woman feels for a man?
He lowered his eyes slowly, collected his thoughts, and drove the car into the deep night.
——
Xiao Qiongyan waited at home for a while before pushing the door in when it was cold.
He asked in surprise: "Boss, why does the positioning show that you stayed in the suburbs for 21 minutes just now?" And you also turned off the communicator. ”
Ying Han walked in without a hurry and replied, "I stood in the suburbs for a while. ”
Xiao Qiongyan didn't understand why the boss had to go to the suburbs alone in the middle of the night to stand alone. But he didn't ask, but said with a serious expression: "The situation is urgent." A piece of good news, a piece of good news, which one do you want to hear first? ”
He stopped when he was cold and looked up at him.
Xiao Qiongyan smiled slightly: "The good news is - boss, we have found a treasure." The chip you brought back from the library, it's not an ordinary chip, it's ......" He paused: "An extremely precious cosmic high-energy ore crystal!" ”
At this time, even Ying Hanshi smiled happily, walked to the table, and picked up the chip.
Xiao Qiongyan also smiled and said: "I don't know why, it actually fell into the hands of the earthlings, and was treated as an ordinary metal material and made into a chip. Therefore, the reason for the abnormality of the library system and the generation of elementary artificial intelligence has also been found - it is precisely because of the huge radioactive energy contained in this crystallization from a higher civilization. ”
Ying Han nodded.
Xiao Qiongyan shrugged his shoulders again and said, "Of course you have thought of the news that is not good or bad. The entire solar system does not produce such minerals. At that time, in our home planet, this kind of ore was also very rare. This shows that someone once brought this crystal to the earth. ”
——
At dawn, Xiao Qiongyan finished processing the rest of the data and looked up, only to see Ying Hanshi still standing in front of the window, looking at the sky with his hands down.
Xiao Qiongyan walked up to him, stayed quietly for a while, and then looked at him and said, "Boss, you know. A few days ago, we were able to detect an anomaly in the energy radiation of the library system. If there are other people on the planet, they can monitor it too. It's just that the chip was obtained by us first. ”
Ying Han was silent for a moment and nodded: "I know." ”
The master and servant did not speak again, but looked up together at the dark blue sky.
On the horizon, a glimmer of light has been revealed, faintly shining on the otherwise calm lake.
——
In the same morning, Xie Jinzhi was lying in bed, but his eyes were looking at the sky outside the window.
In fact, she didn't sleep all night. That scene recurs in my mind.
In the end, it was frozen in a certain moment. It was her identity when she had just penetrated Ying Han, and the two got into the car. She said, "I'm not going to tell anyone about it." Ying Han smiled and said, I know.
She learns the man's deepest secrets.
She got up from her bed and walked to the window. It was already dawn, and there were quite a few people walking around the street. Everyone was in a hurry, and everyone's face was unfamiliar.
In fact, many people have secrets hidden in their hearts.
She left the window, washed and changed. Begin your life as usual with a calm and repetitive life.
I hope to see you again.
She thought she would meet again, when it was cold.
