"No, no, no, I'm kidding you."
"Don't just count to three, it was a trick from two years ago..."
Xu Zhou shrank his head, put the shrimp meat peeled in his hand into the other party's bowl, and wiped his hands.
"I know what you're asking, but it's a pity..."
Liu Xuanxuan's pretty face turned slightly pale, and the fingers that tightly squeezed the chopsticks turned white from the exertion.
"It's a pity that you know the situation in the past few years. Longguo has been suppressed by science and technology. All high-ranking research institutes in the country have heavy tasks. The Hangcheng research institute where I was working at the time also received a research task on lenses. "
"so?"
"So Liu Yuxin and I met occasionally. It was a mission for me. Xia's mother was seriously ill at the time, so I went on a blind date for her to recuperate in peace."
"Later, I felt that it didn't delay anything for me, so we just stayed together. If I remember correctly, we met, dated, and ate together less than ten times in total. The institute is so busy that we basically don't have time to go out."
Speaking of Mama Xia, Liu Xuanxuan glanced at Xu Zhou distressedly again.
Xu Zhou grew up in an orphanage, and Xia's mother was the director of the orphanage and the one who brought him up.
In Liu Xuanxuan's view, Xia's mother should be the most important person in the world to Xu Zhou.
But now that Xia's mother is gone, she still remembers the day Xu Zhou called her phone number in the United States.
Said that he was the only one left in the world again.
Thinking of this, she wondered if she had an illusion. She always felt that Xu Zhou had changed a lot.
"Senior? Why are you so dazed!"
"So my answer is over, stop threatening me with force."
Liu Xuanxuan said nothing and threw the peeled shrimps in the bowl into her mouth.
Um. tasty!
The shrimp must be peeled by him to be delicious!
From this point of view, Xu Zhou seems to have not changed in some aspects.
It was already past seven o'clock in the evening when the two of them finished eating.
"It's getting dark. Have you found a place to stay? When will you return to Hangzhou?"
The weather was already slightly cooler as October approached, and Liu Xuanxuan frowned while wearing her coat.
"Xu Zhou, why are you so long-winded like a grandma? And when did I say I was going back to Hangzhou?"
"ah?"
Xu Zhou was dumbfounded. He thought he would be able to send his ancestor back to Hangzhou in two days. Does this mean he wants to develop in the capital?
"Ah, what? I have already submitted my resume online. If nothing else, I will be interviewing in the next few days."
Just kidding, she finally ended her time away from home, but she didn't want to give him a second chance of Liu Yuxin when she returned to Hangzhou.
"I have rented a house online. It seems to be not far from your Dragon Academy."
Seeing that her house had been decided in advance, Xu Zhou didn't know what to say.
"Let's go, I just gave you a ride on the way."
Because they had already arrived in the city, Xu Zhou asked the driver to leave before eating. The two took a taxi and reported their destination directly.
Half an hour later, Xu Zhou got out of the car and sent Liu Xuanxuan to the door before preparing to go back.
At this time Liu Xuanxuan suddenly said: "Why don't you come in and sit down?"
Xu Zhou's face suddenly became a little strange, as if he remembered something and felt a little embarrassed.
"Just sit down and forget it, I'm afraid..."
"If you don't sit down, you'll fall down! Get out of here!"
Liu Xuanxuan was furious and slammed the door.
Xu Zhou held his forehead and sighed, this woman's face really changed at the drop of a hat.
But just when he was about to turn around and leave, the door opened again.
A gift box was handed out from inside.
"Nuo, a small gift brought to you from abroad."
Xu Zhou was stunned for a moment, then took it over and said with a smile:
"Thank you!"
"Who cares about you? Thank you..."
Liu Xuanxuan paused, and then spoke in a low tone, as if it took a lot of effort to say this.
"Also, I will treat what happened back then as if it never happened. I hope you can think about it carefully this time."
Xu Zhou pursed his lips, and the two of them were silent for a while through the door.
Finally, Xu Zhou chuckled helplessly and said:
"Okay, I will seriously consider it."
After hearing these words, the door finally closed...
It was close to nine o'clock when we returned to Longke Academy. Xu Zhou would have basically washed up and prepared to rest at this time.
Although he is in a hurry, he also knows that the body is the capital of scientific research, and he strictly follows his schedule and is very regular.
After returning to the dormitory, I took the time to wash up and then went to sleep.
But tonight, Xu Zhou changed from his previous high-quality sleep and actually started to dream.
In the dream, he seemed to have returned to the time when he lived at the teacher's house.
At that time, he and Liu Xuanxuan had a mutual affection. Although they did not have a confirmed relationship, they were almost as good as each other.
Liu Xuanxuan would often sneak into his room, stay with him, and 'spoil' him.
But while Xu Zhou was enjoying all this in his heart, he kept telling himself to step back and stay awake!
With such feelings, the scene in the dream quickly changed.
In front of his eyes, what he saw was Liu Xuanxuan crying so hard that she seemed to be crying about something. There was grievance and anger in her watery eyes, as well as a hint of disbelief!
Just like this, I dreamed of some fragments intermittently throughout the night, and it was already dawn when I opened my eyes again.
Xu Zhou shook his head and dismissed the memories in his mind.
"Let's take it one step at a time. I hope the outcome will change in the future..."
In the following time, Xu Zhou basically devoted himself to his work.
Time passed quickly and it was almost the end of October before I knew it.
During this period, there are constant voices, both domestically and internationally.
Regarding Longguo's independent research and development of lithography machine projects, some people remain optimistic while others remain pessimistic.
Some related topics appear on the Internet from time to time, and the popularity continues to rise.
Due to multiple strong measures taken by the United States, there have been no foreign chip imports in Longguo since a month ago.
Later, some domestic companies also tried to use their own networks to purchase, and even offered prices that were twice as high as before, but they still had no way to buy.
All of a sudden, the entire domestic electronic product manufacturers have entered the ice age. The second half of every year is the intensive update season for new products, and this year has become particularly depressed.
This has also led to many companies starting to transfer assets and want to leave the Dragon Kingdom.
But what is very strange is that this time, the senior officials of Dragon Kingdom did not take any measures and turned a blind eye.
It seems that there is no concern at all about the outflow of domestic assets.
Such a reaction made some company executives murmur.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Judging from the situation like this, it might be a big monster.
But these have nothing to do with the researchers at the Dragon Science Academy.
They didn't care, and even felt like they were watching a good show when they saw these companies leaving without responsibility.
Because they all know that in just a few days, the low-nanometer lithography machine manufactured by Quanlong Kingdom will be born!
At this moment, Xu Zhou, who was immersed in studying in the research room, suddenly froze in place.
There was a beep sound in his mind.
He had been waiting for this voice for a long time.
"Finally unlocked!"
"It's time for Qinglong to come out!"
