Mountains and seas have a home

After returning home, Xinghe's home mailbox popped up a reminder of new emails, one was addressed to Fu Zhong, and the other was addressed to Ji Yao, both of which were signed by "Kunpeng's family".Ji Yao hesitated for a while, sat down on the sofa, opened the letter and read it.Fu Zhong quickly read the letter, he didn't make a sound, went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to look, thinking about tomorrow's breakfast.When he came out with hot milk, Ji Yao crossed his legs, sat on the sofa and turned to look at him.

"Did you say anything in the letter?" Fu Zhong handed over the hot milk, removed the pillow and sat down.

Ji Yao twirled her fingers, held the cup to warm her cold hands, and said, "Mom wants to invite me back to the Bai family mansion to attend the banquet during the Chinese New Year."

Fu Zhong put his hands on his knees, smiled, and opened his letter: "Madam Bai also invited me, but she invited me on behalf of Kunpeng's sect and the Patriarch of the Bai family."

"I suddenly wanted to understand why my mother tried her best to prevent me from entering the time bureau." Ji Yao said after hanging her head in silence for a while, and slowly took a sip of milk, "She must know the conspiracy in the 'Ark Project', but she I didn't say it. Everyone in the time bureau wanted me to die because I was a descendant of the Ji family. But I didn't die, I rolled round and round in hell, and finally came back to life well."

"Nobody wants you dead now, you're on a high ground, like a sniper has taken the high ground. Everyone who hurt you has been killed or arrested, and no one can threaten you anymore."

Ji Yao raised his head and smiled at him, Fu Zhong caught something extraordinary in his eyes for a moment, which made him feel happy.Ji Yao leaned over and kissed him on the lips, Xiaoqi squatted aside and looked at them with wet, intelligent eyes, wagging her tail courteously and calmly.

They went to bed after washing, and while lying on the bed, Ji Yao leaned on the bed and posted a Weibo, which was his first post after a year.He took a picture of a corner of the bedroom, where there is a slender black-glazed flower stand with a bouquet of flowers in a fired ceramic ampoule, and two brightly colored half-moon chairs are placed beside it, covered with gray-blue blankets. From the handrail, it hangs down to the spotless floor.Ji Yao wrote three words in the copy: I'm going home.

After it was sent out, there were many responses, and coupled with his current global influence, the comment area was like a landslide.But the first comment was still the same red heart, Ji Yao threw the phone away, stretched out his hand and squeezed Fu Zhong's head: "Did you set up automatic reply?"

Fu Zhong lay on the pillow and looked at his mobile phone. After being squeezed, he smiled and hugged his waist, buried his head in his belt and rubbed it: "It's just because of my quick hands."

"Have you read the comments on the Internet?" Ji Yao put his arms around Fu Zhong's shoulders, buried his fingers deeply in his hair, and circled around the ends of the hair.

"I have everything. Once there are photos, we will be in the same frame, but this is the best." Fu Zhong opened his bright eyes to see the mottled and mysterious moonlight behind the curtains, and the whole bedroom was immersed in the quiet darkness. In blue, "Fan humanities have come out, and it's quite top."

As he said that, he found out his phone, flipped through an article he saved in the photo album, and handed it to Ji Yao: "This is one of them, just take a look at it casually, don't take it seriously, netizens don't know the truth."

Ji Yao roughly finished scanning, shook his head and said, "Do you think I should find the person who wrote this and let Xinghe roast him?"

"Don't take it seriously, chief, just think they're just imagining." Fu Zhong took his hand, looked at Ji Yao's fingers carefully, and rubbed the ring repeatedly, looking very good and exquisite, "We Just live your own life.”

After a while, Ji Yao also lay down, put his arms around Fu Zhong's head, and let him lean on his chest.Fu Zhong sucked on his chest, and asked half asleep, "Sir, when do you plan to get married?"

Ji Yao looked down at him, then wrinkled his eyes and said with a smile, "Do you want to marry me?"

"Think." Fu Zhong leaned into Ji Yao's arms again, closing his eyes and talking about his fantasy—everyone indulging in happiness will have such a fantasy, "I want to wear the best diamond ring for you, and finally As a partner, there will never be another person in the world to take your place."

After he finished speaking, he smiled shyly, buried his face, and breathed deeply the scent of sage on Ji Yao's body, which reminded him of mountains and hills.A vague but joyous thought was sprouting in his heart, like a poppy bursting forth.Now love is back, he can't stop loving someone, and he can't stop missing someone, he will always have tenderness for Ji Yao.When he looked at Ji Yao, his eyes were tender and shining brightly.

Ji Yao thought of Pushkin's love poems, he sank into this life-filled no-man's land, and said silently in his heart: You are so cute, and I love you so much.

The following day, the official press conference was held in the afternoon and lasted a full three hours.After the end, they took the special car of the State Council to the Great Hall to attend the dinner, followed by a grand commendation meeting, and the chairman personally awarded medals to the heroes.The entire golden hall was decorated with flowers, and it was incredible to see such colorful flowers in this short period of time after the disaster.The guests were full, and the degree of magnificence was amazing.

The chairman's award speech is sincere and beautiful, and anyone who listens to it will be inspired.When the chairman awarded Ji Yao the First Class Hero Model Medal and the First Class Merit Medal, he shook hands with him very cordially.At this time, the whole audience was silent, and everyone watched with bated breath what the chairman said, and how Ji Yao answered.After shaking hands, Ji Yao expressed his gratitude to the chairman with full respect. At this time, the guard of honor sounded the ceremonial horn, which resounded throughout the hall, reverberating like music, and stopped in the tall and wide space.

The scientific researchers in the "Backtracking Project" were all specially commended, and Gao Yanwen and his MCS team were received by the chairman alone and awarded medals. "Poisonous Blood Project" also had a place on the podium, and Zhu Min finally let the fame and fortune go to him.

Fu Zhong was awarded the Medal of Peaceful Mission, Commemorative Medal for Executing Operations and Major Missions.At the same time, all sacrificed officers and soldiers were posthumously awarded the National Defense Medal, and Fu Yangxia was posthumously awarded the First Class Red Star Medal.After the award ceremony, all stood up and observed 3 minutes of silence in memory of the heroic spirit.

On the second day after the commendation conference, Ji Yao took a special plane with the Chinese delegation to the United Nations Headquarters to participate in the "Confidentiality Agreement Discussion Meeting of the 'Retroactive Plan'", "Human Security Shield Construction Conference", and "Supreme Conference on Building and Peacekeeping". Fu Zhong, as a member of the delegation of the Time Bureau, also went to the United States to participate in the conference.In addition, he will be accompanied by Peace Ambassador Yan Suizhao, who will speak at the peace conference.

The "Retroactive Plan" non-disclosure agreement discussion meeting was held on the morning of the first day.At the beginning of the meeting, Ji Yao first delivered a speech in the United Nations General Assembly Hall, emphasizing that although the crisis has been eliminated, there is still no slack, and the future of mankind needs to be managed and planned more carefully.After the three-day meeting, the participating countries finalized the final non-disclosure agreement, which permanently sealed most of the core materials and only allowed some records to be made public.

The non-disclosure agreement is held by the delegations of various countries. The badge of the United Nations is stamped on the dark blue cover, and "Retroactive Plan" is written in five languages ​​​​under the badge.After reading the agreement, Ji Yao unscrewed the pen and signed the agreement.A stack of papers that are neither thin nor thick has turned the magnificent history of the "Retrospect Project" into a secret, and it will be kept forever in a place that will not fall into ashes.

After the signing ceremony, the agreement officially came into effect, and the delegation immediately notified the Time Bureau to carry out the task of sealing up and destroying evidence.All the document records, electronic logs, and technical parameters in the Xinghe system and the Kalber system are classified as "confidential" and enter the sealed storage process.All paper documents, reports, planning cases, and identity files were bound into volumes, put into file bags, and sealed with a red stamp that read "Top Secret Files, Strictly Forbidden to Open". Go to the archives.

The Peacebuilding and Peacekeeping Conference was held on the last day. In his speech, the Peace Ambassador severely criticized Tang Lin's terrorist acts, and mentioned the question of whether or not to rehabilitate people.He believes that "new technologies will inevitably come into being. This is inevitable. Human civilization without new technologies will always stagnate. We must guide new technologies to develop in the direction of serving the people and society, rather than using them as Something that violates the laws of humanitarianism and peace; we must promote the good and reject the bad, not the other way around."

The conference ended on January 1th, which happened to be a severe cold day. The weather in New York was gloomy, foggy, and cold to the bone.The special plane took off at 20:[-] p.m. in New York, and the Secretary-General saw them off at the airport.They came with heavy responsibilities and returned with ease.After the plane took off, it quickly left the ground under its feet, and the island of Manhattan shrank into a small dot full of tall buildings below.Ji Yao sat in the office cabin on the plane and finished reading the domestic newspapers of the day. The clouds and smoke outside the porthole, the plane passed through it quietly.

He looked at the calendar and time. It was early morning in China at this time, and that night was New Year's Eve.Fu Zhong sat in the outer cabin, there were so many people on the plane and there was little space, he couldn't swagger in and out of Ji Yao's office cabin.The waiter was about to bring food to Ji Yao, Fu Zhong found a reason to help him with the work, and brought the food in by himself.Ji Yao was standing in front of the screen to switch channels, and greeted him when he came in.

They talked together for a while, chatting about some insignificant things, but Fu Zhong stayed for more than ten minutes and walked out of the office cabin in order to avoid being caught up in gossip.Ji Yao leaned on the recliner and watched a movie. Later, he felt bored, turned off the display screen, covered himself with a blanket and gradually fell asleep.

The plane landed at the Capital Airport ten hours later, and Ji Yao woke up an hour before landing.The convoys of the State Council and the Time Bureau picked up the representatives respectively, and two animals were mixed in the convoy to pick up the plane. Xiaoqi and Fox were led by an executive and waited beside the car.When the delegation stepped off the plane, the two fur kids immediately jumped up excitedly, almost knocking down the executive who was leading them.

After wishing each other a happy new year with all the representatives, the atmosphere finally became deserted as the crowd went away.The executive finally let go of the dog leash, and Xiao Qi rushed forward, and Fu Zhong was thrown into his arms by it.The lame fox raised its front paws and pawed at Ji Yao's body, making a fox cry that made people laugh.Ji Yao rubbed the fox and the wolf dog in his arms, and got in the car with Fu Zhong to return to the time bureau.

The time bureau will be on holiday from today until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.In previous years, the Time Bureau was emptied as early as a week before New Year's Eve.The director has specially approved holidays for those who participated in the "Retroactive Plan" task group. Fu Zhong has 90 days, and Ji Yao has 120 days. They can return to the time bureau to report at the turn of spring and summer in May and June.Not only that, the upper and lower members of the task force have received a generous bonus.

It was noon when we went back, and Ji Yao was still hungry, so Fu Zhong took him to the viewing restaurant on Ocean Park Avenue for lunch.They had slept on the plane, jet-lagged and refreshed, as if they had just woken up in the morning.The sky in Beijing also showed a gloomy face, and it seemed that it was going to snow.Sure enough, when they drove the car under the main building of SKP, there was an increasingly bitter cold wind blowing from all over the field, and dense snowflakes had already fallen from the tile-gray sky.

"Go and buy some new clothes and household items." Fu Zhong said, "Other things you want to buy, you can buy whatever you think you need at home."

Xiaoqi is led by Fu Zhong. It is a Czech wolfhound. It looks exactly like a purebred wolf. It has thick fur and a tall and majestic figure. People passing by are often scared.But Xiaoqi never showed a fierce expression, and never took the initiative to approach people. The handsome butterfly spot on his forehead made him more approachable.Xiao Qi followed Fu Zhong, wagging his tail cheerfully and friendly, sniffing the ground around, as if he was doing a search and rescue work.It and the fox never entered the shop, but just waited obediently outside the door.

Ji Yao bought several sets of clothes for himself and Fu Zhong together. Just like wearing a uniform, he bought clothes in sets.There are few people in the mall, and it is silent, and the shop assistants speak softly.The two of them have become public figures now, and everyone knows their great names, but they will inevitably show their faces outside.However, they have never shown any flying spirit, and their behavior and speech are no different from ordinary people.Amazing looks often attract frequent attention wherever they go, and they will shine wherever they go.

When they left the shopping mall while talking and walking with shopping bags in hand, they had quietly spent hundreds of thousands here, but this was only a small amount for both of them.Fu Zhong got in the car, checked the time, and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight? Go out or eat at home?"

Ji Yao pursed her lips in silence for a few seconds, and replied, "I want to eat the dinner you cooked. The food outside is not good, and it doesn't taste as good as you like."

Fu Zhong laughed when he heard that, started the car and was about to drive out, and said, "I didn't feel good at the viewing restaurant at noon? Isn't the chef there not dexterous enough?"

"Of course the chef is skillful. Everyone says the taste is good, but I don't like it. And the food you cook is just right, and I like it very much. After all, you know me best. So this is how you and the viewing restaurant get together. You know the difference between a chef and a chef best."

"Sir, you know how to praise people. It would be great if you could praise me like this during the training of the executive department."

"Didn't I praise you, didn't you come here well? Look at you, you are very strong, and you are excellent in all tests."

They talked and laughed all the way, and went to the market to buy ingredients together.Ji Yao pushed the shopping cart and walked in front of a cabinet of yogurt. He had already walked around several times, but the shopping cart was still empty.He looked left and right at the assortment of goods, but couldn't find which one should be put in the basket.He calmly and decisively made decisions on the battlefield, directing weapons to hit here and there without blinking an eyelid, but now he is standing in the supermarket, facing a pile of products at a loss.

A sense of unreality makes him descend into the abyss as if reaching the top, as if the sky floats under his feet.He heard the roar of naval guns and helicopters, and the shouts of soldiers, but there was no soft music played in a low-pitched loop in the supermarket.Ji Yao suddenly felt that he didn't belong here, and the sudden normal life made him uneasy, especially when Fu Zhong was not around.

Fu Zhong walked around the freezer with a full shopping cart, which was already filled with weighed vegetables and meat products, as well as some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and seasonings.Ji Yao met him and nodded: "You have bought a lot of things. Shall we go to check out?"

"Well, it's almost ready. But can you help me get a bag of cereal?" Fu Zhong said while supporting the handle of the shopping cart, "I'll go to the counter and line up, just come to me with the cereal."

Ji Yao let out an oh, and pushed the cart to find the cereal shelf.He stood between two rows of shelves, which were filled with all kinds of cereals, but in Ji Yao's view, these cereals were no different, and he felt as if he was going to be overwhelmed by the colorful packaging.Silently he tapped his shoe toes, and frowning, he looked left, then right.After hesitating for a while, he reached out and grabbed a bag of the most expensive ones, threw them in the shopping cart, turned and left.

"This is probably the most difficult decision I've ever made." Ji Yao said, "I won't be so entangled in entering the code to launch a nuclear bomb."

It was exactly four o'clock in the afternoon when I got home, Fu Zhong changed into the apron and went to the kitchen.Ji Yao stood by the sink with his sleeves rolled up and helped him wash the vegetables. While washing small white mushrooms, he told a story: "At that time, a group of replicants besieged a tower, and there was a sniper and a bomber on it. The sniper was His gunners fired at the replicants in the ears, and the gunshots were so loud that they deafened the gunners' ears."

Fu Zhong was peeling carrots, peeling off the rough skin, leaving the orange-red radish flesh, with strips of skin whiskers piled up on the chopping board.He listened to Ji Yao's story in silence, and when he talked about the deafness of the bomber, he paused slightly, blinked his eyes, and then continued to do what he was doing in silence.

"There is also a machine gunner." Ji Yao picked up the washed small mushrooms, drained the water, and put them in the basket. "He was hit by a bullet in the neck while evacuating the wounded soldier and died on the spot. I announce killed him."

As he said, he put his hands down, exhaled lightly, leaned against the sink and shook his head.Ji Yao drooped her eyelashes, shaking the hollowed-out basket silently, draining the drops of water.Fu Zhong walked towards him, kissed him lightly on the cheek, and said, "Help me peel off these green leaves, please?"

Fu Zhong made a sumptuous dinner, and Xiao Qi and the fox also came to the table, squatting on the chairs and obediently waiting for the meat, as if they were a family of four.It’s been a long time since the sun has set, and the night is already dark, snow is falling in the city, and the French windows of the restaurant are covered in white.Unlike previous years, there are no red night lights on both sides of the road this year.There were very few vehicles on the road, and the entire road was covered with snow. The street trees wore big snow-white hats, showing shy and shy faces.

Sparks flickered on the tall buildings, and the perfume endorsed by supermodels scrolled on the huge advertising screen.A few days ago, these advertising screens were full of live news images, and Ji Yao's face when he was interviewed could be seen when he looked up.The gloomy sky on a snowy night is illuminated by lights into bright purple and dark blue, as if colorful clouds are rolling.It was like a layer of rain and fog, and a phantom with strange colors and indistinctness appeared in the fog, like a scene in a dream, but this picture clearly existed in reality.

They were talking about the long vacation at the dinner table, and the university lecture tour. Ji Yao said that the first stop of the lecture tour was K University, their alma mater.In addition, they plan to travel in April and May to Turkey, the Mediterranean coast, and the Nile Delta.Fu Zhong turned on the display, but there was no party tonight, it was a lonely and peaceful New Year's Eve.

In the evening, Fu Zhong put the plates and dishes into the dishwasher, then tidied up the kitchen and refrigerator, and stuffed the clothes they changed into the washing machine.The snow outside the window rustled, and the night wind was pushing the waves aside, making the shadows faint and intriguing.Ji Yao leaned on the spacious sofa, covered with a blanket and watched a movie.He threw out the toy ball, Xiao Qi and the fox rushed over to grab it back immediately, and ran back to Ji Yao happily.Ji Yao hugged the two guys under the blanket, and the two furry bodies made him feel less cold.

"You like to play with this." Ji Yao raised his hand and weighed the toy ball, "You like everything, like snow, like foxes, like toy balls, like your leather collar...you like everything I like it. But, my dear, it's not like that. When one grows up, one finds that what one once loved was nothing special, like this toy ball, which is just an unattractive sphere. Those wild passions are gradually lost. Forget it, and in the end, there are only a handful of things you like.”

Xiao Qi lay quietly beside Ji Yao, moving her neck and ears from time to time.It looked at Ji Yao with doubtful and kind eyes, while Ji Yao stared at the white ball.He hesitated to speak, and said after repeating many times: "And I only have two left."

Fu Zhong stepped on the carpet and walked lightly to Ji Yao's side. The fox stood up and made a place for him, while he lay down on Ji Yao's lap and curled up into a ball.Fu Zhong stroked its satin-like fur, the fox grinned, tilted its head, narrowed its eyes and dozed comfortably.

Ji Yao gave half of the blanket to him, and leaned sleepily beside Fu Zhong, silently watching the people coming and going in the movie.Fu Zhong looked down at him, didn't say anything, didn't ask anything.Fu Zhong rubbed Ji Yao's fragrant hair, as if he didn't hear what Ji Yao said to Xiao Qi just now, nor did he hear the sigh that he hesitated to speak.
