There was some moving folk music coming from the bar next door.

The lead singer is young and beautiful, but she can use a slightly hoarse voice to sing the scars that have been hurt by love countless times.

Long Xian and Wu Wei did not go to the bar, and chose to eat mutton in a copper pot next door to the bar.

The consumption in the afternoon was just too great.

Even two people at the peak of their bodies can't bear it.

Good lamb meat is needed for energy and protein......

Two men sat opposite each other at a round table on the side of the street.

Surrounded by a crowd of people coming and going, in the middle is a tall golden copper pot.

The clear soup in the pot is covered with milky white foam, and a faint smoke slowly rises from the top of the pot.

The bar next door was already packed.

At the end of the song, there was warm applause and drunken snoring from somebody.

The lead singer seemed to be accustomed to the noise, picked up the half-burned cigarette, turned her head and took a puff.

Wu Wei looked at these pictures for a while, and his gaze was fixed on Long Xian's face.

In the night and lights, tonight's dragon strings are particularly charming.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Long Xian dipped a piece of blanched mutton in sesame sauce and put it into his mouth.

She was really hungry.

Fortunately, I found this shabu-shabu mutton that can be eaten right away.

Before that, she had already solved a sesame sauce fire.

Wu Wei smiled and said honestly: "You are a little different today. ”

"How is it different?"

"I can't tell...... It feels like you're relaxed, and this state is very good, and I like it very much. ”

"Hmm......" Long Xian lowered his head and thought for a while, did not speak, and continued to eat the mutton on the plate.

Wu Wei picked up another plate of raw mutton and put the whole plate into the pot.

He had to be diligent, otherwise he wouldn't be able to keep up with the speed at which the dragon strings ate.

"It should be...... Long Xian may have finally figured out the reason, "It feels like following you away and flying high, so my heart is a little excited." ”

"Haha......" Wu Wei was a little surprised, "It turns out ...... Is this the kind of world you like? ”

"Which?"

"That's it...... No one knows your world. ”

"Hmm...... Inaccurate. ”

"I know, it should be...... No one knows the world of the two of us. ”

A charming smile tugged at the corner of Long Xian's mouth, "Correct answer." ”

"Well, I have to admit, I'm just like you."

Long Xian bent down in front of his sesame sauce plate and ate vigorously.

She glanced up at him, "Are you sure, not reluctantly?" ”

"Of course not," Wu Wei paused and smiled with relief, "You can think about it, after all, if you are an ordinary normal person, who would study our astronomy." ”

"What happened to astronomy?"

"Looking up at the infinite universe...... Wu Wei looked beyond the hustle and bustle of the ancient town market to the starry sky at night, "all our efforts are trying to listen to the voices from far away and from the past. Sometimes, we hear voices billions of years ago, at the dawn of the universe...... Perhaps only those of us who would rejoice in such a long and obscure language......"

Long Xian's mouth stopped and looked deeply into Wu Wei's eyes.

His eyes seem to be as deep as the universe, but they also reflect light that lasts for hundreds of millions of light-years.

"Wu Wei, do you love what you are doing now?"

"Of course!"

"Is it deeply in love?"

"Of course!"

"How deep?"

Wu Wei looked at Long Xian and paused before saying, "Second only to loving you." ”

Long Xian looked at him and smiled slightly, "Correct answer." ”

"Haha...... Then eat ......" Wu Wei happily sandwiched two slices of mutton into her plate.

Long Xian dipped the lamb in a sticky sesame sauce and put it in his mouth.

"You can like your profession so much, it's really envied by many people."

"Really...... However, then again, no matter what you study, whether you have a doctorate or a doctorate, you have to eat and support your family in the end......"

"You can." Long Xian said.

Wu Wei sighed softly, "It's hard to say...... If you learn our major, you really have to stay up...... If you want to make a lot of money after graduation, there are almost no suitable jobs. Even if you are dedicated to scientific research, you don't know how long it will take to have a little sense of accomplishment. Sometimes, I don't even dare to think too much about it, and I don't know if I'll make it through that stage. ”

"It's okay, you still have me!" Long Xian put down his chopsticks and said, "I will graduate with a master's degree next year." ”

"By the way, are you ready to work after graduation?"

"Hmm."

"Then you have to start looking for a job, right? What do you think? What kind of job are you looking for? ”

"This major...... Long Xian thought very clearly, and didn't bother too much, "For example, an accounting firm has already obtained a CPA certificate anyway." ”

"I've heard that auditors work hard?"

"Yes." Long Xian was very confident, "But I'm not afraid." ”

"The strings are amazing!"

"I've been to the institute for an internship before, and I understand the nature of the job. It's tiring for others, but for me, it's totally manageable. ”

"Tsk...... Xueba is just different. ”

Long Xian smiled slightly, and then said: "My senior sister is a partner in a first-class law firm in China, and she also said that I would be very suitable to be an auditor, and she warmly invited me to go to her company after graduation. I think it's good too. ”

Wu Wei nodded happily, "Xian'er, you think everything clearly, I'm really happy for you." ”

Long Xian said proudly: "Wu Wei, in the next ten years, I will earn the money." Don't worry, in ten years, you will definitely be more successful than me, I believe in you! ”

"String ......"

"Huh?"

"Why are you so confident in me?"

"Of course, I see everything very accurately." Long Xian paused, "Moreover, I am a very patient person, what am I afraid of for ten years......?"

"Haha...... All right! ”

Wu Wei felt a lot more relaxed in his heart.

To be honest, it really wasn't easy to get a PhD.

The pressure of academic research, the pressure of life, is on his shoulders.

Wu Wei is particularly glad that at least, his love is unexpectedly sweet.

The two of them continued to eat mutton shabu.

There were two people at the next table at some point, a middle-aged couple.

Wu Wei and Long Xian overheard them talking.

Unexpectedly...... It's inexplicably sad.

"Really...... Is it irretrievable? ”

"No need. Tired ......"

"What do you plan to do in the future?"

"My child is also in college, and I am relieved. As for who the child is with, listen to the child. ”

"Good ......"

"The house will be given to you."

"No, I don't. Sell it. Half of the room price is paid for each person. ”

"You ......"

"I won't stay in the imperial capital."

“……”

"So be it. I'll leave after dinner, and I'll come back tomorrow to clean up. ”

"Don't go...... Let's go home tonight, after all, home is next to it, don't bother......"

“…… Okay, too. You sleep in the bedroom, I sleep in the living room. ”

"No, you sleep in the bedroom."

“……”

……

After dinner, Wu Wei and Long Xian held hands and walked slowly in the ancient town market, and also consumed food by the way.

Long Xian was a little absent-minded.

"Wu Wei, you said that the couple just now spoke calmly, why did they come to the step of divorce?"

Wu Wei sighed softly.

"Sometimes, it's so calm that there's really no way to get it back......"

Long Xian stopped talking, and held Wu Wei's hand tightly.

"It's a shame."

"Hmmm......"

"They said that their home is next to it, and they should be old residents of the nearby ancient town, right? Living in such a beautiful place, I still can't escape such a thing. ”

"Yes, compared to the imperial capital CBD, life here is indeed a lot more leisurely."

"But, who knows, envy each other, it's like besieging a city."

"...... right"

The two walked past a small storefront with lottery ticket posters plastered in front of the store.

Long Xian pulled Wu Wei over with interest.

"I didn't expect that there was also a lottery shop in the ancient town."

Wu Wei looked at Long Xian, "Haha, want to buy a lottery ticket?" ”

"Well, we finally came to such a far place, we should buy a lottery ticket to try our luck by the way."

"Haha, can't you win......"

"Who knows? What if? Long Xian said, "If you win the jackpot, won't you be able to concentrate on your astronomical research for the rest of your life?" ”

"Haha...... That's ......."

"Then let's buy one."

"Hmm. Buy! What to choose? ”

"Random?"

"Good!"

The two spent ten yuan to buy a machine-picked lottery ticket.

Long Xian handed the lottery ticket to Wu Wei, "Remember to see the results tomorrow." ”

"Yes."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and continued to hold hands and walk forward.

They slowly blended into the night of the ancient town.
