The moonlight flows like water, pouring down from the sky.

After the train arrived at the station, tired passengers got on and off the train, vendors shouted loudly on the platform, and the cold and lonely night became lively again.

Gu Yanying opened the car window and asked the vendor to deliver two buns.

The box lunch on the train costs three yuan each, and the noodles cost two yuan each. They don’t taste good and are barely enough to fill your stomach. They are not served at night, so you have nothing to eat.

The steamed buns sold on the platform are only 50 cents each. If you want fried food, there are also fried dough sticks to choose from, which are served hot, and are the choice of most people.

"Two buns, one dollar for you." The vendor's smile was very down-to-earth.

Gu Yanying handed over a banknote.

A few minutes later, the train once again pulled out from the brightly lit platform into the night, making a very regular sound.

In the sleeper car, everyone else was fast asleep, except Gu Yanying, who looked clear-headed.

He sat on the lower bunk, having bought some buns but leaving them on the table without eating them. His cold peach blossom eyes looked out the window indifferently, but he didn't seem to notice the almost unchanging scenery outside.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door, which sounded particularly abrupt in the quiet space.

Gu Yanying's eyes darkened and she looked sharply toward the door.

Seeing that the person standing at the door was wearing a conductor's uniform, with a smile on his face and a polite attitude, his aura slowly subsided.

He stood up and walked to the door: "Looking for me?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The conductor who was assigned to come over noticed the buns on the table, nodded and smiled, "I wonder if it's convenient for you now? Do you want to go to the dining car to eat something? Someone is coming to see you, so we can talk while we eat."

Gu Yanying nodded calmly: "Okay."

He had expected this to happen, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

It seems that the person he cares about seems to be paying attention to his movements all the time... Thinking of this, a smile appeared in his eyes, and his aura became more harmonious.

A few minutes later, Gu Yanying walked to the dining car, and Yu Zhou, who was waiting in the dining car, immediately stood up with a very friendly attitude.

"Professor Gu."

"Hello."

After shaking hands, the two sat down one after another.

The conductor asked the two people what they wanted to eat, wrote it down in a notebook, and left.

Yu Zhou did not speak immediately, but said to himself: He received a message that Comrade Xiao Su's system said that Professor Gu seemed like a different person, and his temperament was completely different from before. So this is what he meant.

He had met Gu Yanying before and had communicated with Gu Yanying several times. Considering that he and Gu Yanying were relatively familiar with each other, his superiors temporarily assigned him this task.

He was woken up in the early morning and rushed to this train from his business trip just to have a chat with Gu Yanying and express his attitude before he returned to Beijing.

In his opinion, Gu Yanying's previous temperament was cold, like the icicles hanging on the treetops in winter, which looked crystal clear and beautiful, but was actually piercingly cold, with a hidden edge.

Gu Yanying’s temperament is gentle now, like a deep pool in the deep mountains and old forests. Although it is calm, it is hard to see the bottom clearly, which makes people even more frightened.

But this kind of shock was not due to anything else, but because of his calm and composed yet increasingly powerful aura, the kind of certainty and depth that comes from having seen a lot.

Yu Zhou was nervous and felt that his mission might be in jeopardy.

Such people are determined, have their own ideas, and are difficult to persuade.

Not daring to keep Gu Yanying waiting for too long, he smiled and said, "Professor Gu, we have dealt with each other several times before. I wonder if you have any faint impression of me."

Gu Yanying nodded calmly.

Inexplicably, Yu Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and continued with a smile: "I came here this time, on the one hand, to ask you if you want to take a car back to Beijing, which is faster and more comfortable. On the other hand, I received a notice from the higher-ups asking me to ensure your safety."

"Upon hearing the news of your safe return, Captain Huo immediately reported it to Commander Wang and Secretary Qin. They both care about you very much."

"You are extremely talented. Your achievements in biological sciences are among the best in China and even in the world. Not only did you develop the world's first genetically engineered vaccine, the hepatitis B vaccine, you also have two or three national-level research projects. Beijing really can't do without you."

"When Captain Huo reported it, he said that your presence is very important. At least in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, you are an indispensable talent who can lead China into a period of rapid development as soon as possible."

Yu Zhou smiled and said, "By the way, you and Captain Huo should be pretty good friends, right?"

Gu Yanying was slightly startled, but not surprised. She chuckled and said, "...Yes."

Yu Zhou relaxed a little more and asked tentatively, "Would you like to take a bus? The bus goes directly to the capital, which is more comfortable and faster than the train. It will allow you to reunite with your relatives and friends earlier. They will be very happy to know that you have returned safely."

Gu Yanying thought for a moment and nodded.

"After the train arrives in half an hour, can we take a bus north?" Yu Zhou asked again.

Gu Yanying: "Okay."

Yu Zhou’s anxious heart suddenly settled down!

Although Professor Gu now has a strong aura, he is actually easier to talk to than before!

The conductor, who had been away for a while, came back with two bowls of hot shredded chicken noodles. The soup was light, and green chopped green onions were sprinkled on the noodles, which smelled delicious.

Yu Zhou smiled and said, "You must be hungry. Eating noodles at night is easy to digest and light."

Gu Yanying chuckled and nodded.

After finishing his noodles, he wiped his hands and suddenly asked, "After the train arrives, please contact Huo Yan as soon as possible. I have something important to discuss with him and need to meet him."
