Stand by

On the other end of the video, Jiang Xing roughly talked about the content of the thesis they talked about in the group just now, with clear views and clear logic.

The other party suddenly called his name: "Wake up."

Jiang Xing stopped, and his fair face was very close to the screen, making his skin smoother: "Huh?"

"Are you happy in the laboratory?" He remembered Jiang Xing's complaints in the group before.

Jiang Xing thought about it for a while, carefully selected his words, and tried his best to express rigorously: "I'm happy recently."

That is not happy before.

Pei Lu didn't want to be a good person tonight, so he asked knowingly, "Why?"

Jiang Xing felt that Pei Lu might really have been bullied and coaxed by dignitaries at the negotiating table, because he was not like this when he was sober.

He coaxed: "Because I became friends with you."

Being friends with Pei Lu is very happy, going to the supermarket with Pei Lu is very happy, going to the playground with Pei Lu is very happy, so happy that with Pei Lu as a friend, it seems that no one else wants to be his friend, and there will be no such thing in life. Big regret.

"Yeah." Pei Lu responded, like a low laugh squeezed out of his chest, but he didn't seem to be smiling, making it hard to tell, this man restrained himself even when he was drunk.

"Take your phone away." Pei Lu wasn't used to him being so close to him with such an obedient expression, he felt hot.

"Huh?" Jiang Xing was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Of course Pei Lu couldn't tell him the real reason: "Let me see your pajamas."

Jiang Xing obediently took the phone away and showed him: "My mother bought it."

Jiang Xing has a slender neck, fair skin, and soft black hair messily covering his forehead. Pei Lu stared at it for a while and asked softly, "Is it Winnie the Pooh?"

Jiang Xing was a little embarrassed. He felt the temperature in the bed was rising, so he pulled off the quilt to cover himself, only showing a pair of eyes, and asked naturally: "Huh?"

"I don't know."

"Well," Pei Lu said, "you don't know him."

"You only know Teletubbies."

"It's raining heavily." Jiang Xing glanced at him and changed the subject directly. He hoped that Pei Luxiang would cooperate with him.

Of course Pei Lu is very sensible to be Jiang Xing's friend: "Are you afraid?"

The rain was a little more ferocious than before. Huge drops of water hit the windows, and the lush flowers and leaves swayed to and fro, and there were occasional thunderclaps.

It was raining heavily outside, and they whispered.

Jiang Xing calmly said, "It's okay."

Pei Lu: "Cool down tonight and put on the quilt."

The two said goodnight and hung up the phone, but Jiang Xing couldn't fall asleep at all.

He is now feeling anxious, driven by a nameless sense of responsibility and protection for Pei Lu, changed clothes, took an umbrella, carried his schoolbag and rushed into the dense rain, and went to the laboratory building to try to be covered by the person before going to bed. Hypothetical propositions inspired by female students studying in Japan.

He wanted to be quicker and produce results sooner.

Jiang Xing was glad that he took the coat, Pei Lu didn't lie to him, the temperature really dropped at night, he walked through the empty and quiet campus alone, there was no moonlight, the street lights were off, it was very dark, the only people in the pond were not sleeping in the sound of rustling wind and rain From the frogs hiding under the lily pads there was a dull growl, and there was the sound of raindrops falling on the huge leaves.

A petal floated to his neck and Jiang Xing was taken aback. He suddenly remembered the legend about "Baoyan Road" he heard when he was in school.

A beautiful female student was sexually assaulted in the jungle by the roadside. The school promised to grant the postgraduate qualifications to calm things down, but later the student committed suicide. Since then, this place has been jokingly called "Baoyan Road".

Jiang Xing doesn't know what kind of mood the teachers and students of this school have in calling the name of this road. Seeing that they usually blurt out the name, it seems to be the same as calling "Qin Xue Road" and "Zhi Zhi Road". intolerance and compassion.

At that time, Jiang Xing still felt that the story was too outrageous and absurd. How could such a shameless and dark thing happen? Perhaps it was everyone spreading rumors after dinner.

But after entering the laboratory and seeing the shameless actions of Fang Xu and Ye Yi, I felt that the rumors might be true. This incomprehensible world is where these injustices, darkness, heinousness, and grievances have no place. Can apply for broken things.

It's just that it hasn't landed on you yet, and you don't know it.

Reality is always worse than rumors.

The laboratory is open 24 hours a day, and the dark teaching building in the middle of the night is still chilling, empty and silent.

Jiang Xing quickened his pace and arrived at the laboratory. With a "click", he was frightened again after being frightened by a petal.

A person came out from inside, he breathed a sigh of relief and stared at Pei Lu who had said good night on the phone four or ten minutes ago.

Pei Lu blocked him in the aisle. He had already changed out of the well-fitting suit in the video. He was dressed very casually. The two-bar trousers made his legs longer. The white cotton T-shirt made people look very soft. Jiang Xing He couldn't see the logo hidden in the dim light, but he felt that such a simple and clean Pei Lu looked better and more energetic than the suit and leather shoes in the video just now.

He probed a little closer outside the door. The other party should have simply taken a shower, with a cold and refreshing breath, and his hair was almost dry, with only small drops of water on the temples and behind the ears.

Pei Lu was also a little surprised, but there was no reprimand in his tone, and he didn't care about Jiang Xing lying to him that he was going to sleep. He just asked, "Why do you come back at this point?"

Jiang Xing closed the door with his backhand, and said softly, "I can't sleep."

Pei Lu frowned: "Insomnia?" Jiang Xing didn't say anything on the phone.

Jiang Xing looked at him, not knowing what to say: "No."

"I was really going to sleep, but after communicating with others online, I came up with some new ideas."

"I can't sleep without trying."

The expression of the explanation was very serious, revealing that subconsciously, he very much hoped that Pei Lu would not misunderstand him because of this misunderstanding. He said "sleep" because he didn't want to continue chatting, and he just made up a perfunctory casually.

"I want to finish the experiment quickly."

Jiang Xing was very straightforward when he was frank, with a confident expression: "This experiment is very useful for the results of the project, and it is also very useful for you."

So I want to get it done quickly.

So Pei Lu boldly and unscrupulously looked at and examined his subtle expressions in the dim light, and said in a low voice, "Then are you coming here so late because you want to try it right away or because it's really useful for me?" .”

Is it because of the new inspiration provided by the girl studying in Japan or because of Pei Lu.

Jiang Xing didn't know the difference between the two, the experiment was for the experimental results, and the experimental results were for Pei Lu.

The ultimate goal is Pei Lu.

But Jiang Xing is a very serious person, so he won't stop talking about things that he can't figure out. He just throws out his psychological process and describes it objectively and truthfully: "I was a little excited when I saw this new method before you called me. , I wanted to try it, but it was raining and it was a bit late, and I hadn’t decided whether I would really come out, and then you called, and after I hung up, I really couldn’t fall asleep, so I just got up.”

The logical lines are clear.

The new inspiration is very exciting, but it will make Jiang Xing hesitate. Only Pei Lu's phone call saying that he is not going well can make Jiang Xing make up his mind and go out decisively.

Seemingly satisfied with the answer, Pei Lu turned his body slightly to make way for him, which even looked like a welcome gesture.

Jiang Xing asked: "What about you? Don't you need to rest after drinking?" He always felt that Pei Lu didn't have enough rest.There is an invisible force behind him pushing him, and he cannot relax.

"There is a cross-border video conference in the evening." Today's negotiation and cooperation are not going well, domestic transactions are not open and transparent, and the core technology and lock-in price mechanism have to give way to interpersonal friendship and gray income. This makes Pei Lu uncomfortable and determined to find another way , Talk to foreign students who have cooperated in the California laboratory before.

If you want something from someone, you have to accommodate the other person's time difference. The video is about 03:30 midnight.

After hearing this, Jiang Xing felt that he was working hard, but he didn't say anything, just said: "My experiment will take several hours."

It means I can accompany you.

Pei Lu hooked the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, and took a towel to wipe off the rainwater on his body. Jiang Xing bent down and put down the trousers he rolled up when he came. When he leaned over, he drew a soft and flexible body curve. Dazzling.

Pei Lu suppressed her smile, and looked away lightly.
