Mountains and seas have a home

At 5:30 pm, the special plane arrived at the Beijing headquarters.Fu Zhong had broadcast the flight status in advance, and someone had been waiting there for a long time on the suspended platform of the Central Command Building of the Time Bureau.The plane descended from a height, and Fu Zhong turned on the strobe lights and aviation lights.Sitting in the cockpit, you can see the towering buildings in the distance. This huge sword-like monster stands out from a group of crowded buildings. Its spire stands at the highest point in Beijing, and there is a stretch of green hills below it. .

Ji Yao hadn't woken up yet, Fu Zhong pulled the blanket for him a few times, and he relaxed his movements so as not to wake him up.Although he had already put on the headphones, Fu Zhong deliberately turned on the noise reduction system of the plane.Ji Yao stretched his legs when he fell asleep, the blanket hung from his shoulders to his ankles, he leaned his head sideways on the seat, the windshield reflected his sleeping face.Fu Zhong doesn't know if he has always been so peaceful, and what kind of restless heart he has under this peaceful appearance.

He hasn't understood Ji Yao thoroughly, and he hasn't opened the hard shell that imprisoned Ji Yao.But Fu Zhong felt that he could win, and he thought that one day he would always understand what kind of person Ji Yao is.He just needs time to wait slowly.

The plane landed on the runway and stopped after taxiing for a certain distance. Fu Zhong drove the plane to the entrance of the fast lane, next to the control tower.He gestured to the flight commander outside, then took off his breathing mask, and turned his head to look at Ji Yao who hadn't woken up yet.He wants to let Ji Yao sleep for a while, such quiet moments are rare, and Fu Zhong wants to see him more.At this time, a whistle sounded outside, and Fu Zhong had to lean closer to Ji Yao, and whispered in his ear: "Chief, we are here, we are waiting for you."

Ji Yao tilted her head, her eyebrows furrowed, it seemed that she didn't sleep well.Fu Zhong exhaled and blew on Ji Yao's ears, which made him react a little.Ji Yao felt numb and itchy in the pinna of his ear, like a feather was scratching, he finally struggled out of the dream, and immediately realized that there was someone beside him.Ji Yao opened his eyes suddenly, raised his elbow and threw it towards Fu Zhong, a cold light flashed on his right hand, and he held a jackknife in his hand and cut towards Fu Zhong's neck.

Fu Zhong leaned sideways on the seat to avoid his elbows, and blocked the blade he was scraping with his hands.Ji Yao was held by his wrist, but the next second he clamped Fu Zhong's throat.The blade was hanging in front of Fu Zhong's chin, and if he got any closer, he would lose a piece of flesh.

They were deadlocked, Fu Zhong stared into Ji Yao's eyes, he still hadn't realized what was going on.After seeing Fu Zhong's face, Ji Yao stopped his movements. He stared with horror in his eyes, and then gasped for breath.Sweat was pouring out of his body involuntarily, and his heart was beating extremely fast.He was completely awake now, and the emptiness after waking up made him confused.

"Sir," Fu Zhong raised his hand and squeezed out a voice from his throat, "It's me. We've arrived at the time bureau, and it's time to get off the plane. What's wrong with you?"

Ji Yao let go, put the jackknife back, and hid it in his sleeve.He wiped off the sweat from his forehead, covered his eyes and sat on the chair for a while: "It was a stress response just now, that is, muscle memory. I'm sorry."

Before Fu Zhong said anything, Ji Yao had already taken off his helmet and mask, got up and walked down from the hatch.He walked along the steps to the landing platform, and the cold wind from the roof immediately gushed into his collar.Fu Zhong pursed his lips, turned off the cockpit power and walked down with his hat on his shoulders. He saw Ji Yao shaking hands with the receptionist, and then they walked into the hall together.Fu Zhong fell behind, Beijing had been in autumn for a long time, and suddenly felt chilly.He followed quickly.

Ji Yao took the folder and spread it out. He began to browse the contents, and after turning over a few pages, he asked, "What did the person in charge of Russia say?"

The assistant hurriedly followed behind Ji Yao: "It's the time travel plan."

"It's a good idea." Ji Yao looked at him with a completely different expression, "It's as if I don't know. I asked you if they disclosed the specific content of the project? There must be a goal before I can do it That. But nothing is written in the papers."

The assistant looked at Ji Yao's face. He had just become the secretary of the executive commander at the next level, and he hadn't figured out his boss's temper yet.But he should know by now that Ji Yao's words were implicated.The assistant adjusted his expression and replied: "The goal is to solve the black crisis."

Ji Yao nodded, closed the folder and handed it back, and walked towards the elevator: "Great, that's it."

"The meeting will be held in an hour, sir, and you must prepare."

Ji Yao nodded and hummed.A group of people walked into the elevator, and Ji Yao saw Fu Zhong walking in silently behind him without looking for it deliberately.Ji Yao was excited by his uniform. This kind of dress is what Ji Yao would like to see, and he himself came here like this.They looked at each other awkwardly for a moment, and Fu Zhong went to the back of the elevator to stand upright, but his eyes were always fixed on Ji Yao, which made Ji Yao's back burn.

After arriving at the floor, Ji Yao disbanded the reception team, dismissed the assistant, and raised his hand to tap Fu Zhong's chest: "You stay."

Fu Zhong complied happily, and he walked briskly beside Ji Yao, knowingly asking, "Where are we going?"

"Shouldn't you be the clearest where to go?" Ji Yao pierced Fu Zhong's thoughts like poking a bubble. He could always see through Fu Zhong at a glance, but Fu Zhong couldn't see him clearly. "Go to my apartment."

An open-top jeep is parked under the porch, and Ji Yao often sees this kind of iron guy running around in the military base.Fu Zhong drove for him, and this car was specially prepared for Ji Yao.They drove to the apartment complex of the Time Bureau. The buildings were hidden in the tree-lined gardens, and the sumac and Chinese tallow trees gradually turned red and yellow, and all were falling leaves in the wind.

"Is the place where I live still the same?" Ji Yao asked while sitting in the car, the cool autumn wind hitting his head, and he listened to the sound of the wheels rolling over the leaves.

"Yes, sir." Fu Zhong replied, he turned the steering wheel, and the car passed by a fountain, "Nothing has changed, everything is fine."

"Haven't you changed?"

Fu Zhong laughed: "That depends on where it is."

The car was parked in the berth downstairs of Apartment Seven, and the two went up to the 26th floor.Ji Yao opened the door of the suite, and turned on the light at the entrance.The furnishings in the living room were all as they were. He wiped them with his fingers, but there was no dust.The balcony was covered with white curtains, and there were decorative paintings on the wall, but it looked very deserted.It's not very popular here, although everything is spotless.This is Ji Yao's house, but he hasn't lived here for several years.

He went to the spacious bedroom to take a look. The beds were all newly replaced, and the carpet under his feet was warmly laid. As soon as he entered the door, the linear sensor lamp in the secret place automatically turned on.Ji Yao stood in the room, looked around, and asked, "Who will clean it?"

"The servant and me."

Ji Yao couldn't speak, Fu Zhong had done too much, he couldn't find anything wrong.Ji Yao stood on the balcony of the bedroom, looked down, and said, "What time is it?"

Fu Zhong smiled, put the room card on the table, and said, "It's training time now, and the instructors have all gone to the training ground."

Ji Yao came to a sudden: "Aren't you also a teacher? Why don't you go to train?"

"I'm going to pick you up today, so I've approved a half-day leave from above, and I can go to night training." Fu Zhong opened the closet door, revealing the uniform hanging inside, "These are the clothes prepared for you, all ironed After that, all the badges were wiped clean."

"Why do you do everything so thoughtfully? Do you treat everyone like this?" Ji Yao walked towards him, his tone was a little sullen, and even he himself couldn't figure out why he had such emotions.

Fu Zhong stood in front of the closet and hooked his fingers. He pondered for a while before answering: "It's convenient for others, but convenient for yourself. I'll help you do all these things well, so you can relax."

"Are you going to wait for me to undress next?" Ji Yao had already walked up to Fu Zhong, his eyes were mercilessly fixed in Fu Zhong's eyes, and his sharp words made Fu Zhong's ears flush.

"If you need my help, I'll stay and wait for you." Fu Zhong tried his best to find a plausible statement, Ji Yao was very close to him, and this distance made him in a dilemma, "You can ask me to do anything, as long as it's me Can do."

Ji Yao put his finger on Fu Zhong's chest and said sharply: "You have to know what to do and what not to do, soldier! I'm glad you think of me everywhere, but I hope you are different from others!"

Fu Zhong's heart trembled, and Ji Yao pressed his finger against his chest, just where his heart was beating.Fu Zhong stood steadily, swallowed his throat, and rolled his Adam's apple.He gave an affirmative answer: "I am different from others."

"What's the difference?"

"As far as I know, sir, you can't ask me that question."

"Okay, soldier, I'm going to change my clothes, and I have a meeting later." Ji Yao didn't ask any further, he knew that Fu Xin had something hidden in his heart, but he didn't want to just let the truth come to light, "You tell me Report to the Appointment Department immediately! Get moving and execute immediately!"

There was a moment of silence in the room after the yelling.Fu Zhong's expression was a little cramped, his eyes wandered a few times, he pursed his lips and stood at attention: "Got it! Sir."

The door closed, Ji Yao checked the time, took off his clothes, grabbed the towel and went into the bathroom.Fu Zhong hesitated outside the door for a while, hesitated to speak, and finally turned and walked to the elevator.

At 6:30 in the evening, Ji Yao came to the meeting room in C area. He took a shower, changed into the uniform of the executive department, the belt was tied tightly, and the badge was pinned to his chest.

"Hello, sir." The passing staff stopped and saluted him, and Ji Yao nodded in greeting.

The people from the secretarial department took him to the door of the conference room and gave Ji Yao a translator.Ladies in gray striped suits passed by, their blonde hair pulled back in a bun.Ji Yao smelled the tangy fragrance and heard them talking.

"That's an expert from Russia." The secretary put the translator on Ji Yao's ear, "Graduates from prestigious schools are all outstanding in their fields."

Ji Yao didn't speak, and saw the huge conference table behind the glass door, and a row of people were sitting at the other end, and Russian experts were sitting down one by one.The holographic projector in the center of the meeting room is being adjusted, and the light is shining on the wall, dazzling people.

Time Director Li Chongyan was talking with the person in charge of the Russian base. When he saw Ji Yao, he hurried up to meet him.After Ji Yao saluted, he took off his hat and held it with his hands, then went to shake hands with the person in charge.Li Chongyan is tall and well-tailored in a suit, with serious, kind brown eyes.He has thick and soft silver hair, and he looks much younger than his real age, and the sharp eyes that often appear in his eyes can't help but respect him.

The conference table is already waiting for Ji Yao, and his name is engraved on the nameplate.Ji Yao pulled out the chair and sat down. There was no one on the left or right, and he didn't want to talk to anyone.Ji Yao was depressed, he was still thinking about the conversation he had with Fu Zhong in the bedroom just now.Fu Zhong's face, red ears, and pretending to be calm kept recurring in Ji Yao's mind, making him uneasy.Ji Yao felt anxious for no reason, every time he wanted to smoke, but this time he held back.

"I am the initiator and entrusted person in charge of the Russian 'Backtracking' program, Andrei Diyerichevich Konstantin." Konstantin, with blue hair and glasses on the bridge of his nose, began his statement , is a learned scholar attitude.

After Constantine delivered his speech, he concluded: "This is our current situation. I don't think anyone will be satisfied with our situation. The black hole crisis is related to the fate of all human beings, and this is something we have to think about. "

"We already have a preliminary conjecture that the cause of black holes can be explained by the butterfly effect." Ji Yao said, he sat on his seat with folded hands, and did not wear a translator on his ears, "Space-time fluctuations do not appear suddenly It is because there have been tiny fluctuations since the birth of the earth, and they have gradually accumulated to this day, resulting in a large-scale space-time disorder."

Constantine asked the projector to release a restoration map of the ancient earth, saying: "The age of the oldest rock is 43.74 billion years, while the age of the earth is 46 billion years. About 3 million years are missing, and the most urgently needed , is exactly what happened on the earth in these 3 million years."

"According to Mr. Constantine, our time travel will travel to 43.74 billion years ago?" Ji Yao leaned forward, "With all due respect, this is a very long journey, and the risks involved are not You and I can estimate it at will."

Several executives looked at each other in blank disbelief.Constantine sent the data to everyone's computer, and said in a deep voice: "This is the wave pattern detected by the detector. It comes from 43.74 billion years ago, and it is the strongest wave we have ever discovered."

"According to the existing archaeological statements, the earth at that time was just a mass of gas. How should we perform missions when traveling through the past?"

"We only provide theoretical and technical guarantees, and the specific implementation power is in the hands of your country. There is nothing that cannot be accomplished, only those who dare not start."

"If you have any better ideas, why don't you tell us about it?" Li Chongyan sat at the head, and he pressed the microphone, "We don't know anything about what the earth looked like at that time . I can’t let people just take risks like that.”

"Perhaps the earth at that time was not what we imagined. We have to change our minds, and don't let the cruel reality confine our imagination." Constantine propped up the conference table, and he looked directly at Li Chongyan meaningfully The two exchanged a glance that seemed to be tacit, "But if we do nothing, reality will catch up with us. Time is racing against each of us, even though we are dealing with time."

The curtains were pulled open suddenly, and the lights of Beijing City spread to the horizon. A network of electric lights exploded in the dark sky, and several cruise helicopters were flying past the meeting room.Ji Yao stretched his gaze, he was led into a wonderful imaginary world by Constantine's words.Outside the window, lights appeared from the panes of tall buildings, as if pairs of eyes were staring at him.In the far distance the black fields were covered with strange rippling clouds, silvery and looking like duck's down.

At 8:45 in the evening, the meeting was adjourned.Ji Yao stuffed the translator into his pocket, and went back to the apartment with the computer and documents under his arm.On the way, he took out his mobile phone and looked at it. There were more than a dozen messages, except for the group emails sent by the department, the rest were all from Fu Zhong.Fu Zhong is a peculiar character, he seems to be so well-behaved, but he maintains a strange sense of rebellion all the time.Ji Yao suddenly couldn't figure him out. What made this lieutenant dare to get along with the first-level executive commander like this?

— Chief, the report is complete, and I am reporting to the training ground.

—The restaurant has changed its schedule and is open all day. The chief remembers to have dinner.

— Don't worry, Chief, Chief Yong didn't bother me, I'm fine.

— Chief, are you coming to inspect tonight?Swimming training today until ten o'clock.

Fu Zhong took a break at halftime, sitting by the pool and swiping his phone.He opened Ji Yao's dialog box, a few red dots jumped out, and all the information had been read.Fu Zhong pinched his phone and thought for a while, then he mustered up the courage to send a message with a smile.

— Chief, is the meeting over?I'm resting now, would you like to come?

After half a minute, the phone vibrated, and Ji Yao's profile picture popped up on the lock screen.

—Train well and don’t play with your phone.

There are only eight characters, and there is no temperature, but they are hot on Fu Xinxin.Fu Zhong looked at the phone and laughed, his ears were suddenly iced, Chen Wei handed him the iced coffee and sat down beside him.

"Laughing, laughing, I told you not to answer for a long time, who are you chatting with?" Chen Wei glanced at Fu Zhong's mobile phone, raised his head and took a sip of lemonade indifferently, "I guess the only thing that can make you laugh like this is You have a girlfriend, can you let me see what she looks like? I think she must be a beauty, and only a beauty is worthy of you."

"Go away. The coffee is thanks." Fu Zhong stuffed the phone into his backpack, "Chen Gou."

"Fu Gou, I remember you fucking hated coffee when you were in college, why do you drink it now?"

"Back then it was then, and now I think it tastes amazing."

Chen Wei kicked the water with his feet up, shaking his head like a child: "Do you want to fight the Dragon King at night?"

"Hit, call me when the time is full."

Fu Zhong bit the straw and took a sip of coffee, and Chief Yong's whistle rang.Chen Wei cursed, put the lemonade on the table, and ran to gather with Fu Zhong.

Ji Yao took off his armed belt and badge, and sat on the sofa looking at the documents on the computer.He was so dizzy that he went to find a medicine bottle and swallowed the pills with warm water.After taking the medicine, Ji Yao felt a little tight in his chest. He turned off the computer and rested on the walnut table.He closed his eyes, but he dared not fall asleep, for he was afraid that he would have a nightmare after falling asleep.Ji Yao took a breath, got up and went to find coffee in the cabinet, but the jar was empty.There were a few pieces of fruit candy in the candy box, he peeled off the wrapper and put one in his mouth.

Then he belatedly wondered where the candy came from.His house had been vacant for four years, and if there was any sugar it would have melted away.Ji Yao thought about it for a while and then put the question down. He freely sucked the peach flavor of the candy, and the sweet taste brought him back to life.

He took his room card and mobile phone and went to the cafeteria. The cafeteria is open all day, and there are still hot meals at this time.He ordered a bowl of noodles with an extra fried egg.The fat uncle is wearing an apron and is a kind boss. He added a little more side dishes to Ji Yao.

Ji Yao ate noodles while reading Weibo. He hadn't felt so relaxed for a long time. In the past few years, it was a luxury to be able to eat such delicious noodles.The fragrant oil accidentally splashed on the phone, he wiped it with a paper towel, and then saw a new message appear on the screen.Ji Yao stopped his chopsticks, and he opened the message.

— Chief, we're done, I'm going to change clothes.Good night.

Look at the time, 9:50, 10 minutes early for training.Ji Yao suddenly stood up in a panic, he didn't care about half a bowl of noodles left in the bowl, and ran to the swimming pool after paying the money.The cafeteria is not far from the swimming pool, and it took him 2 minutes to run there.Ji Yao stood outside and watched. The swimming training ground was still lit with bright searchlights, like lion's eyes, and there was a figure swaying underneath.Ji Yao crossed the crossbar sideways, and several teachers stood at attention and saluted when they saw him coming.

"Fu Zhong." Suddenly someone called from behind, and a hand came up.

Fu Zhong just changed his clothes and was drying his hair with a towel.After hearing the voice, he turned his head and saw Chief Yong, and hurriedly stood upright with his chest out.

The instructor signaled him not to be nervous, flipped through the sign-in booklet in his hand, and said: "You have never been absent from training, and you have never been late or left early. You have excellent grades in the assessment, and your performance is really good. I hope you can—"

"No." Suddenly someone said, Chief Yong's words were cut off, "He is mine, don't even think about it."

"Hello, sir!" Fu Zhong raised his hand in salute, and he didn't see him like this when he faced Chief Yong just now.

Ji Yao drove Chief Yong away.Fu Zhong's hair was still wet, he wiped it vigorously, and it became a chicken coop.When he raised his arms, a waistline was exposed under the bottoming short-sleeved shirt.Ji Yao stared at his waistline for a while, then helped Fu Zhong dry his hair, and asked, "Why is it so late? Everyone else has finished walking, but you are still here drying your hair."

"It's nothing, just wait for someone."

"Waiting for who?"

Fu Zhong didn't speak, and quietly raised his eyelashes, but he didn't see Ji Yao's face, because Ji Yao was blowing his hair.The hot wind covered the top of the head, and then penetrated into the clothes from the neck down, Fu Zhong's body was hot, and he felt warm all the time.

"Why are you here so late?"

"Busy looking at documents, chest tightness, come out to blow some air."

"Sir, you need to rest more, that's what Dr. Zhu told me. He said that you need to relieve anxiety. Too much stress is not good for your health. Sir, you can't let depression overwhelm you."

Ji Yao didn't say a word, but he actually heard every word Fu Zhong said.Ji Yao blinked and looked at this man, his language was as simple as a child, but also as eternal as a star.There is a strange magical power in Fu Zhong, which makes Ji Yao curious and puzzled.

The hot wind disappeared, and Fu Zhong's hair was blown fluffy.He scratched at the mirror, then smiled again inexplicably, he was always happy.Fu Zhong put on his coat, put his bag on his back, and carried a basket of dumbbells, and said, "Is the chief just here to see me?"

Ji Yao glanced at him, turned his head away: "No, I'm just here to inspect the situation and see if you guys are being lazy."

"But you came after the training, chief, we have already disbanded."

"I watched from several other teams, and they just disbanded when I saw you. Is the thing heavy? Bring it here, and I'll help you." Ji Yao changed the subject, and stretched out his hand to grab the handle of the dumbbell basket.

They each carried baskets and walked towards the equipment room. Fu Zhong asked, "Why doesn't the chief let me work under Chief Yong?"

"Do you want to go?" Ji Yao suddenly felt a little upset, and threw the basket on the ground, "Go if you want to, and ask me to sign."

Seeing Ji Yao's reaction, Fu Zhong put the backpack on his shoulder: "I will follow you all my life, not going anywhere."

"How can you stay with me for a lifetime, and you won't know where you will be after ten years. There is no such an easy life." Ji Yao shook his head, pushed him away a little, and walked out of the equipment room.Fu Zhong followed behind him, walked across the runway to the apartment, and the cool breeze brought the strong fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.

"Which building do you live in?" Ji Yao stood in front of the apartment door, and the wind blew his tie.

"I moved out of the dormitory and found a house outside. I will drive back later."

"God, when did you move out? Why did you do that?"

Fu Zhong smiled and said nothing, brushed his hair, and Ji Yao noticed that he was wearing a small earring on his right ear.

Ji Yao shook her head: "The world has changed a lot."

"It's getting late, the chief should go up and rest first, I'll drive back and I'll be there in 10 minutes." Fu Zhong pointed to the door of the apartment.

Ji Yao put his trouser pockets and squinted his eyes to look at Fu Zhong for a while, then said, "Sleep at my place tonight."

"?" Fu Zhong didn't move.

"Write an application tomorrow and apply for escorting me to Russia."

"Why are you going to Russia?"

Ji Yao turned sideways, raised his legs and walked up the granite steps, a rustling red maple tree next to him cast a jagged shadow on his back: "Go to my room, I have something to tell you. "
