you come from the sky

The party school where 201 finally settled, the conditions are not bad.

The third floor of the main building has just been renovated, but in order to save electricity, the lights in the corridors are rarely turned on. If you walk face to face, you can only tell who is who when you get close.The dormitory rooms are not big, each room has two wooden beds head to head, and the walls are covered with ivy, which is cool in the hot summer.

The only thing that can’t be praised is the canteen. In the past, in 201, the whole mountain belonged to them. There were three canteens alone. Now, in the huge party school, there is only a small second floor of [-] to [-] square meters as a canteen. At that time, the cafeteria was crowded with people, and many people queued up to eat, and either went back to the dormitory to eat or went out to eat.

It also happened that outside the cafeteria, there is a small lake that can be seen at a glance. Although the shore of the lake is a bit steep, you can sit on the grass and watch the lake and the sky to finish a meal.On the second day after the logistics department arrived, a wooden sign was erected next to the artificial lake, on which was written "No Swimming" in large bold characters in red paint.

That evening, before the sun had set a handful of red light, Tian Junnan had already swayed over the artificial lake on his bicycle.Seeing someone in front of him, Tian Junnan rang the car bell a few times, and the crisp sound swayed to Yuan Youbing's ears with the breeze by the lake.

"Get out of the way!" Tian Junnan shouted from a distance.

Yuan Youbing did not dodge, Tian Junnan's bicycle was not good at all, Yuan Youbing's such a gear, she was unsteady, and the bicycle ran towards the artificial lake.Fortunately, Yuan Youbing had quick eyesight and quick hands. He grabbed the front of the car and pulled Tian Junnan's arm to stop her.

"Why don't you avoid it?" Tian Junnan got off the car, looked at the stones that rolled into the artificial lake with lingering fear, turned his head and stared at Yuan Youbing to blame him.

Yuan Youbing didn't answer, he laughed a few times and asked, "Are you free tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?" Tian Junnan bit his lip and looked at Yuan Youbing with a thin sullen look in his eyes, "No time, my son will come in a few days, I asked Sister Liu for leave to see him. "

Yuan Youbing was not in a hurry, and asked again: "If you can't do it tomorrow, what about tonight?"

"What's the matter with you, Chief Yuan!" Tian Junnan was anxious, "I've told you, I've been divorced, so don't pester me."

After she finished speaking, she ignored Yuan Youbing and walked towards the dormitory pushing the bicycle.

"Tian Junnan, wait!" Yuan Youbing quickly followed Tian Junnan, "I was worried for a while, but then I figured it out."

"What do you want to understand?"

"I want to know that you are divorced before I can invite you to dinner." Yuan Youbing said, "If you are not divorced, how can I invite you to dinner again?"

"You!" Tian Junnan stopped and stared at Yuan Youbing with his nose tight, "You are such a fool!"

"I'm serious." Yuan Youbing said sincerely, "I even made an appointment with my brother and Bian Yu."

Tian Junnan paused, turned his eyes, stared at the dirt road run over by the tires, walked forward slowly step by step, and asked slowly while walking, "Why do you ask them?"

Yuan Youbing glanced at her and scratched his head: "This is not from my family, I want to meet formally."

"..." Tian Junnan stopped talking, and stopped pushing the bicycle. After a long time, she raised her head and looked at Yuan Youbing, "Are you serious?"

"of course."

"Can your family agree?"

Yuan Youbing thought about it seriously: "Then I will probably talk to them slowly." Yuan Youbing reckoned that he should tell the family about Bian Yu first, "But there is always a way." He finally said.

"...Okay, since you've said that, let's do it tonight." Tian Junnan glanced at the time, "But you have to wait for me, I have to go back to the dormitory to pack up, can I meet you downstairs at six o'clock?" ?”

"Okay." Yuan Youbing smiled and waved his hands, watching Tian Junnan leave.

After sending Tian Junnan away, Yuan Youbing went straight to Fang Haochen. Fang Haochen was in the dormitory at the moment, but the research notes and archives were sent to other places. Even a workaholic like Fang Haochen could only read some novels to pass the time. day.

Yuan Youbing sat next to Fang Haochen for a while, and asked, "What is your novel about?"

Fang Haochen turned a page without raising his eyes: "Tell a story about a parthenogenesis society."

"Parthenogenesis?" Yuan Youbing blinked, "The book Bian Yu gave you?"

"Yes." Fang Haochen turned another page.

"As expected of a book he can read." Yuan Youbing muttered in a low voice.

Fang Haochen obviously listened to this complaint, he closed the book, looked up at Yuan Youbing: "Have you gone to find Tian Junnan?"

"Hmm..." Yuan Youbing replied in a deep voice, and he didn't seem to have the slightest joy of succeeding in the invitation.He lowered his head to think about something, and suddenly stood up with a "wow", which startled Fang Haochen.

"I'm going to find her." Yuan Youbing said.

"You went to find her? What are you doing?"

But Yuan Youbing ignored Fang Haochen's question at all, he jumped down the stairs like a fly, and rushed into Tian Junnan's dormitory building. Fortunately, the dormitory in 201 is divided by department first and then by gender. Tian Junnan's dormitory building Two floors of women and two floors of men, otherwise, if Yuan Youbing rushed in like this, he would probably be arrested and shot immediately.

"Why are you here?" Tian Junnan opened the door and looked at Yuan Youbing in surprise.

It was still working hours at this time, and the dormitory was very quiet, which was why Yuan Youbing could hear his heartbeat clearly.

"Do you like Dr. Bian?" Yuan Youbing asked.

"Dr. Bian?" Tian Junnan shook his head, "Dr. Bian is very good, but we are not suitable."

Yuan Youbing asked again: "Then do you like my brother?"

"Fang...Researcher Fang?" Now Tian Junnan looked puzzled, "Why ask him?"

"It's nothing, just answer my question, do you like my brother?"

"I don't like it." Tian Junnan frowned.

"I invited you to dinner alone, but you didn't want to go. I said to call my brother and Dr. Bian. It's obviously a more formal occasion, why did you want to go instead?"

"What the hell are you trying to say? I'm going to be angry."

Tian Junnan said that he was about to close the door, but Yuan Youbing blocked the door with his hand.

"Why did you lie about your personal situation during the political trial?" Yuan Youbing asked himself and answered, "You are a spy."

That's right, from the beginning of this evening, Yuan Youbing has been playing a card and performing a scene.He did a good job in the play, from stopping Tian Junnan, asking her out for dinner with Bian Yu and Fang Haochen, and now blocking Tian Junnan's door.

His suspicion of Tian Junnan started from Tian Junnan's sentence "I have been divorced and have a child".

But that's not enough.Immediately afterwards, Fang Haochen came to Yuan Youbing again. Fang Haochen said that he and Bian Yu thought that there might be problems with people who were "abnormally" concerned about the research work. He suddenly thought of a person who always approached him and Bian Yu intentionally or unintentionally. Would she has a problem.

But this is still not enough.

What really confirmed Yuan Youbing's suspicion was the sentence "You are a spy", oh no, to be more precise, it was Tian Junnan's reaction to this sentence.Although the reaction was only for a short moment, even though Yuan Youbing couldn't even describe it, his intuition as a special agent in the security department for many years told him that Tian Junnan was a spy.

After nightfall, there was a drizzle, and the protruding grass was wet and shiny green by the light rain.At this moment, in a dark office at the back of the main building, a man and a woman sat facing each other, confronting each other.

"Why did you leak the location of 201?" Yuan Youbing asked.

"It's not me." Tian Junnan cherishes words like gold.

Yuan Youbing paused slightly, and said again: "So you know that we moved away from 201 because we leaked the location?"

Tian Junnan stopped talking, and she raised her eyes to look at Yuan Youbing indifferently, and said, "You think I'm a fool? Who in 201 can't guess why they moved away? If you want to arrest me, arrest me, don't talk so much nonsense You said it was me, do you have evidence?"

Yuan Youbing asked back: "You said it wasn't you, do you have evidence?"

"Yes." Tian Junnan said, "In the week before the 201 accident, I was with Li Yue every day."

Li Yue was a newcomer in the security department. Yuan Youbing thought about it, and he really didn't see Li Yue for a while.

"What are you doing with him?" Yuan Youbing asked.

"Learn to ride a bicycle." Tian Junnan tilted his neck, and spoke with a bit of yin and yang, "You see, I ride very well, I almost fell into the lake."

"After learning how to bike, he sent me back to the dormitory at night. After returning to the dormitory, I stayed with Sister Liu all night. I didn't have any time to spread your so-called information. Or, should you be suspicious? Miss Liu?"

Sister Liu is Liu Huifen, the head of the Calculus Department. Half a year ago—about the same time when Bian Yu first joined 201—Tian Junnan's dormitory was plagued by rats. She was afraid and moved to Liu Huifen's dormitory.Liu Huifen's qualifications are older than Fang Haochen's. If Liu Huifen has a problem, then there might not be a good person in 201.

"As for the previous ones," Tian Junnan continued, "I stay in the special team all day long. Everyone in the special team, including Researcher Fang and Dr. Bian, can testify to me."

"But you don't have to be alone to spread the news, right?"

Yuan Youbing's words made Tian Junnan sneer, she gave Yuan Youbing a blank look, and her tone was still firm: "You are looking for the wrong person, not me."

"But I have evidence to prove it's you." After Yuan Youbing finished speaking, he deliberately paused for a while, waiting to see Tian Junnan's changes. However, apart from the initial shock, Tian Junnan no longer showed any flaws. She raised her eyes and waited quietly. Yuan Youbing spoke.

"Why did you lie during the political trial?" No one in 201 needs to tell Yuan Youbing his resume. As a member of the security department, he can easily memorize all the political trial files of all personnel in 201. It is precisely because of this that Yuan Youbing Only then did I clearly remember that Tian Junnan's marital status was written as "unmarried" during the political trial.

"What kind of person would cheat during a political trial?" Yuan Youbing raised his voice, "The way you cheated is so hard that the security office of 201 can't find out. You say you have no problem, do you think I will believe it?"

Yuan Youbing's words obviously had an effect, Tian Junnan was stunned for an instant, she looked at Yuan Youbing with a frown, and felt a rush of heat in her chest, and she was about to rush out. At this time, she didn't even realize that she had already shot He stood up and glared at Yuan Youbing.

Yuan Youbing thought that Tian Junnan would lose his temper and would yell at him, but she didn't.

She gritted her teeth, and without any hesitation, she unbuttoned the shirt one by one, revealing the thin white vest and her upturned breasts. Yuan Youbing's eyes were burned and she immediately lowered her head.

"Look at me." Tian Junnan said.

Yuan Youbing didn't look up.

"look at me!"

Yuan Youbing finally raised his head, but when his eyes fell on Tian Junnan, he was shocked: Tian Junnan's collarbone, chest, and arms were all wounds, old wounds, knife wounds, burns, and scalds.He couldn't imagine that such a woman would be so shocking under her clothes.

"That's what my ex-husband did. No matter where I went, he kept pestering me. There was nothing I could do. An institution like 201 was the only place I could hide.

"But he's a scoundrel, a bastard, and a scumbag! Even if I divorce him, I won't be able to pass the 201 political review, so my father used various methods to help me hide it.

"Yuan Youbing, don't even think about it. I told you that I was divorced! Would I not know that the people in your security office would find out about my political trial?" Tian Junnan said, the tears in his eyes finally fell, like a A bead dropped by his mouth, "But I don't want to, I am a woman, I can only hide in this cage in order to escape that devil, you are so good and pure, I don't want you to be implicated by me."

Yuan Youbing gave a long sigh, he stood up, took off his coat and put it on Tian Junnan.He was silent, without any expression, as if the experience of this woman just now didn't touch him at all, he just took a look at her crying on the desk, then opened the door of the office and went out.

Fang Haochen was waiting outside.

The mask made of steel melted instantly after leaving the room. Yuan Youbing squatted down against the wall, covered his face with his hands and remained silent for a long time.

Fang Haochen understood that Yuan Youbing should not come out in the middle of the interrogation, as it would not be conducive to breaking through the opponent's psychological defense, but Yuan Youbing had to come out, and the facts in front of him shocked him too much.

"Let him go." Fang Haochen said, "You can't find out by asking. You arrested him privately, and now there is no time."

Yuan Youbing rubbed his face, he knew that what Fang Haochen said was right, all his cards were returned by Tian Junnan, only Yuan Youbing's intuition was left to support his judgment, but after seeing Tian Junnan's wound, Even this intuition has been shaken, is he wrong?Did he trust himself too much?How could such a woman who was violently treated by her ex-husband be a secretive spy?

"Section Chief Yuan!" The guard of the small building came over with a lamp at this moment, "Director Xu's phone number!"

Yuan Youbing stood up, exchanged a glance with Fang Haochen, then ran to the guard room downstairs and picked up the phone from the table.

"Where are you? What did you do?!" Director Xu's angry roar immediately came from the other end of the phone, "I have called you so many times!"

"Come back soon!" Xu Feng called him on the other side of the phone, "I caught the mouse, it's Chen Lian."

Note:

Bian Yu borrowed Fang Haochen's book about "parthenosexual society", which is the novel "The Left Hand of Darkness" published by American writer Ursula Le Guin in 1969 (which is also the source quoted at the beginning of this article).The work tells the story of a society with only one gender, which will be randomly differentiated into male/female states during the kemmer period.This book won the Nebula Award in 1969 and the Hugo Award in 1970. Some readers called it the earliest ABO article and a novel that scientifically explained boys and girls (jokingly). The male protagonist in "The Left Hand of Darkness" went to Winter Star as a diplomatic envoy of human beings, and was considered a pervert and a spy. The one who helped him was precisely a "neutral" person that he could not understand. People who do not trust each other, and two people from different planets also reject each other and finally understand each other. At the same time, there are many political metaphors in the work.On the whole, the work is a bit obscure and difficult to read, but after reading it, the aftertaste is endless.

The author says:

Because the work is relatively busy at the end of the year, and the following plot is coming to an end, the future updates are temporarily revised to three updates every Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday.
