Four months later.
Silicon Valley, USA, Ames Research Center Future Ark Project Office.
The blond assistant wearing high heels and a sexy hip-hugging skirt put the coffee with half a packet of sugar on the table and pointed to the room outside, indicating that she was outside. Call her if you need anything and then go out.
About ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door, and a black female clerk with a dirty whip came in and put a pile of letters on the table.
"Dr. Lin, these are the letters you accumulated during your half-month vacation."
"Okay, I understand, thank you Giselle."
The black female staff member smiled, showing her white teeth, and turned around and left.
Lin Yue flipped through the mail and found an EMS folder from China.
He thought for a moment, tore open the seal and poured out the contents.
A touch of enchanting red fell in front of him.
On the front are two gold-pink characters--"Invitation."
He opened it and took a look.
"Qiao Ran, you're getting married..."
This name seemed to open a dusty memory box, and the faces full of youth and immaturity from more than ten years ago appeared one by one in front of my eyes.
After being stunned for almost ten minutes, he rubbed the photo of the newlyweds on the invitation with his hand and shook his head helplessly.
Eleven years ago, he left the imperial capital and flew directly to the United States. With the help of a professor, he entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He even changed his name once in the process because he relied on the knowledge gained in the world of "Prometheus" during his studies and combined it with actual publications. After graduating from many high-quality papers, he entered NASA's Ames Research Center and tried to use existing materials and technologies to improve the solar panels of the International Space Station and satellites.
You must know that in the world of "Prometheus", except for some small ships with extremely high speed requirements, such as colonial ships and long-distance cargo ships that often sail for several years, the rechargeable sail mode is mostly used to supplement the operational needs of the warships. Energy, although the current world is too far behind the world of "Prometheus" because of its industrial technology system, there is no problem in transforming solar panel technology in the aerospace field.
Six months ago, he went to the International Space Station for a three-month mission to replace the solar panels outside.
Facts have proved that the combination of new solar sail panels and new battery technology has made leaps and bounds in terms of energy conversion efficiency, resistance to ultraviolet rays, micrometeor impact, and radiation resistance.
He didn't read the other letters, picked up the invitation and stuffed it into his bag, got up and walked outside.
…
Three hours later, in a two-story villa in San Jose, a woman said angrily: "How many times have my parents said they wanted to see you, but have you ever listened to me and gone back to China to meet them? Now a high school classmate Getting married, you pack your bags and go to the wedding without saying a word, what do you want me to think?"
"Zheng Xue, this... is different."
"What's the difference? Because in your heart I'm not as important as those high school classmates, right?"
"You know, if I go back to see your parents, they will definitely force us to get married."
"Shouldn't we get married?"
"..."
"..."
"You should have read my medical report after returning from the International Space Station."
"Yes, I saw it. Due to the impact of the space environment, the mass of the J-child is abnormal, so what? Even if we can't have our own children in this life, why can't we adopt one, no, a pair, you know there are still people deep in the mountains of China There are many families who cannot afford to raise their children.”
"Zheng Xue, I must go back this time."
"Don't leave, I beg you. I'm afraid that once you leave, you will never come back."
"You're so worried, why don't you just go back with me?"
"But my job..."
"Don't worry, we won't encounter kidnappers. How can we not come back?"
…
The beauty of April in the world is gone, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are beginning to bloom.
The wedding banquet hall of a five-star hotel in the Imperial Capital, red carpet, flower baskets, confetti and guests...
Soft notes blared from the speakers, and the sounds of pleasantries echoed in the corridors.
In the auditorium where the wedding celebration was held, a girl holding a camera was wandering below.
"Your name...is Liu Yunwei, right?"
Liu Yunwei still looked aloof, wearing a slim-fitting long skirt and red high-heeled shoes, and kept saying "No strangers allowed in" as she looked around.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Qiqi, the photographer of Qiao Ran's wedding VCR. Can I ask you a few questions?"
"Just ask."
"I heard that you also had a relationship with Qiao Ran's good friend, Lin Yue? You also had a fight with your best friend at the time."
Liu Yunwei glanced at Xue Shan, who was married next to her: "Who told you?"
"My sister."
"Who is your sister?"
"Fang Hui."
"Oh, I was wondering how Qiao Ran managed to become a photographer after being born in the 1990s. It turns out he went through the back door."
"Oh, stop talking about me, talk about you."
"What do you want to hear?"
"What do you think is good about him?"
"He can sing, draw, and play musical instruments. He studies very well and is good-looking. Is this an acceptable answer?"
"This is the snake oil answer, no, it needs to be deeper." Qiqi pointed the camera at her.
"It's more profound..." Liu Yunwei seemed to be lost in memories: "Can you believe that he took the goddess admired by many people to drive a bumper car, and then hit her and screamed? Can you believe that he took her to skate, she She fell, but he was laughing like a pig, and he didn't forget to take ugly photos of her with a borrowed camera? Can you believe that he smiled at her maliciously when he saw the merry-go-round, and then hugged her when she wasn't prepared? Just put it on when you get up, and watch her move up and down and say your skirt is too short and will be exposed? This bastard can always make her pretend to be cold and apathetic. "
"So, he really knows how to pick up girls."
Liu Yunwei glanced at Xue Shan but said nothing.
"Are you Xue Shan?" Qiqi turned the camera again: "Can you say a few words?"
Xue Shan used her hands to block the camera.
Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "She is afraid that if this is leaked and her husband sees it, she will not have a good life in the future."
Qiqi said: "Will I be able to reduce this section?"
Xue Shan: "..."
"Oh, you are my sister's good friend, how can I harm you?"
"Alas." Xue Shan sighed: "My memory of him still remains at the candlelight dinner he had at a Kiev restaurant on Yuyuantan South Road twelve years ago. That meal wiped out all the money he earned from working for a month. He forgot what he ate. Well, I just remember that he was dressed very smartly that day, and he acted so appropriately among a group of foreigners, while I seemed to be doing everything wrong. I asked him how he did it, and he said it was all learned in books. Yeah, I don’t know if it’s true or not. When it was about to end, he said play me a piece of music, and he sat in front of the piano in the corner of the restaurant. I still remember that it was "Piano Music of the Night", and everyone was there Applauding, even the Ukrainians in the kitchen ran out. You know, at that time I really felt like Cinderella wearing a glass slipper. Later I asked him if he wanted to act, why did he do so much? He said You owe it to me, I didn’t understand it at the time, and now...it’s taken me twelve years and I still haven’t figured it out, but that was probably the best dinner in my life.”
"You guys made me really want to see him." Qiqi said, "Is there anything else? I still want to hear."
Liu Yunwei said: "You should ask your sister about this."
"She won't tell me." After saying this, she ran away like the wind and came to the dining table closest to the T-stage.
"Sister Jiamo, sister Shasha, please tell me too. I really didn't hear enough."
Lin Jiamo, who was wearing beige wide-leg pants and a white top, glared at her: "Today is Qiao Ran's wedding. Does it make sense for you to ask about him everywhere?"
"Yes." Qiqi said, "If I don't take advantage of you all to learn more about him, I don't know if there will be a better opportunity in the future."
Lin Jiamo said: "Knowing so many things about him, what do you want to do?"
"curious."
"curious?"
A voice said: "I remember asking him how he picked up girls. What's his secret? He told me that curiosity is a good start, so little sister, I advise you not to jump into the fire pit."
"Sister, who are you?" Qiqi looked at the woman sitting across the dining table. She seemed to be a very casual person, because even though she was attending a wedding, she was only wearing a pair of ripped jeans and a striped shirt with the hem He also tied a knot on his chest.
She smiled and took off her sunglasses from her nose.
"Is it you?" Qiqi looked surprised.
"you know me?"
"Aren't you the 'Begonia' who is very popular on the Internet and has sung from north to south and from east to west for ten years? When I was studying in France, I heard from my classmates that you sang different songs every time you went to a city. But there is an exception to this song, which is "The Year in a Hurry". Does this song have any special meaning?"
Qiqi found that she had finally freed herself from her curiosity about Lin Yue.
Shen Xiaotang, He Sha, and Lin Jiamo looked at each other and laughed dumbly.
"The meaning is that I am looking for someone."
"who?"
