It's an obvious fact that time flies when you're discussing a topic you like with someone, but when you're talking about a less pleasant topic with someone, time can be a grind.

As Albert Einstein once said, "If you ask a man and a beautiful woman to sit opposite each other for an hour, he will feel as if only a minute has passed, but if he is allowed to sit on the stove for a minute, he will feel as if more than an hour has passed." ”

Whether Ms. Pulitzer was a beauty or not was debatable, but he confirmed that he was now sitting on a fireplace.

I took out my pocket watch and glanced at the time, and it was just half an hour since I entered the coffee shop.

He hadn't even finished his cup of coffee.

But he felt that he had been talking to the reporter lady of the Beta Town Post in front of him all day—the cold sweat on his back was wet and dry, and he felt a sticky and uncomfortable feeling.

He was now in desperate need of a sturdy rope to drag him out of this slippery quagmire.

At that moment, two surprising figures rushed into the coffee shop—the wish came so quickly that he suspected that he was not holding a coffee cup, but an Aladdin pot.

"I finally found you!" Xiao Xiao rushed into the coffee shop, and directly broke through the quiet barrier set up by Ms. Pulitzer as if unconsciously, interrupted the interview at the table, and shouted at Zheng Qing with an anxious face: "Have you forgotten our mission?

Ms. Pulitzer looked at the young wizard who had suddenly entered in surprise, but did not speak.

Zheng Qing glanced at her quietly, and he was very sure that Ms. Pulitzer had just glanced at the small archway on the table, and the small bell hanging under the archway was as quiet as before. This means that Xiao Xiao is not lying.

Of course, the reason why Ms. Pulitzer didn't interrupt Xiao Xiao's speech may also be because of the greasy fat man who came in front of her.

"Oh, Ms. Pulitzer?!" Fat Xin followed Xiao Xiao to the coffee table, and leaned forward with a pig-like face: "Ms. Pulitzer! Ms. Pulitzer! It's a great honor to meet you! I'm Sin-Banner Schmidt-Bayer, a reporter for the editorial department of the No. 1 University newspaper, and I'm so glad to see you outside the newspaper...... Can you sign my notebook?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but shove a thick bulging notebook under the female reporter's nose.

Zheng Qing blinked, feeling that the scene was a little chaotic.

"You're Xiao Xiao, right?!I'm Beta Town Post reporter Luvi Pulitzer, as a special student of the class of '08 of Jiuyou College, are you interested in being interviewed by us?" The female reporter pushed aside the fat man in front of her, looked at Xiao Xiao eagerly, and seemed to have a strong interest in him: "You can sit next to Zheng Qing, our interview is about to end." ”

"I'm sorry, we have other tasks to accomplish in Beta. Xiao Xiao pushed Zheng Qing towards the door of the coffee shop, and politely but resolutely rejected Ms. Pulitzer's invitation: "I'm very sorry! ”

This is a very widely used polite phrase, meaning that there is a high probability that there will be no further contact.

On the other side, the fat classmate who was pushed away by the female reporter still persevered and stuffed his notebook to the female reporter: "Ms. Pulitzer, the 'Nine You Hunting Team' you published in the "Beta Town Post" some time ago made a profound and sharp contrast and analysis between the Nine You College Hunting Team and the Alpha Hunting Team, which is refreshing and refreshing!"

Ms. Pulitzer's footsteps were finally stopped by the fat man.

And Zheng Qing finally took this opportunity to escape from the coffee shop with the help of Xiao Xiao.

Until he walked down the street, he still had a confused, chaotic feeling about what had just happened.

"Why is it so urgent?Is there still time for that task?" Thinking of Xiao Xiao's words just now, Zheng Qing felt that he should be more friendly: "Also, thank you so much, the reporter asked me in a cold sweat just now......

"Are you really stupid?!" Xiao Xiao glanced at him and interrupted, "Everyone knows that there are three things that cannot be touched at First University - unethical experiments, fights between societies, and interviews with the Beta Post. ”

"I didn't want to. Zheng Qing tried to clear his own involvement.

"The first thought of all criminals, is this. Xiao Xiao sneered: "Wait for Pulitzer's article to be published in a few days, and you will be able to feel the next thought of the criminals - regret." ”

"Your analogy is inappropriate, I'm not a criminal. Zheng Qing coughed dryly and tried to change the subject: "Then, why are we going now?

He was impressed with the prize quest he picked up from a secret bulletin board in the morning.

"Found it, can we guarantee that it will be done before six o'clock in the afternoon?" Xiao Xiao roared at him, "Hotel! We need to find a hotel to settle down now!!"

Zheng Qing leaned back slightly, dodging the spittle that the doctor spewed.

"I think there was also a 'gateway' in and out of First University in the northern part of Beta," he muttered, "why can't we go back between them when we're done?"

For a moment, all that came to his mind was a small, shameful and exposed pink card.

It is said that in the inns in the northern district of Beta, the custom represented by the small card is very popular, and many female magicians with weak magical abilities can only rely on this method to earn their living expenses. Zheng Qing was very skeptical that Dr. Xiao Da wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to stay in a hotel to accomplish some pink deeds.

But soon, this idea of his was ruled out.

"Because it's winter break. A panting voice sounded behind the two of them, answering Zheng Qing's doubts: "During the winter vacation, the passage to the outside of the First University is only partially open, and the opening time is limited - if I am not mistaken, after five o'clock in the evening, all the doors back to the campus will be closed - unless you have a special pass issued by the professor." ”

As he spoke, Fat Xin had already run to the side of the two companions.

He wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead and glanced at Zheng Qing: "You don't have that kind of pass, right." ”

Zheng Qing nodded honestly.

"You came out so quickly?" he said a little curious about the fat man's speed, and joked, "I just heard you be so enthusiastic, I thought you would treat Ms. Pulitzer to lunch." ”

"Then someone will agree to my invitation. The fat man spat at the corner of the roadside, wiped his mouth, and snorted, "If I hadn't been enthusiastic, would you have been able to get rescued by the doctor so smoothly?"

Zheng Qing immediately closed his mouth.

At this time, a thousand words are not as good as a silence.
