The protagonist Alpha chooses the corner bamboo horse

The next day, the three met Jiang Xingnian or Zhang Xingnian again.

This time I was not in the hotel room, so I rescheduled to have lunch together.

Ye Yue's preparations last night were not in vain. Li Yuebo kissed him after breakfast early in the morning and went out to work. He only said that he would go to the appointed place to have lunch together at noon.

Aunt Zhang stopped coming to Ye's house because of Chen Chen's phone call. After Li Yuebo asked, he followed her advice and arranged for her to work in Zhang's restaurant.

Now the person who comes to Ye’s house to cook is the retired Master Liao. He came voluntarily. After retirement, he can’t stay at home. Ye Yue has always admired his cooking skills since he was a child. He likes Ye Yue very much, so he just came here .

On the first day of coming here, I made Ye Yue's favorite roast pork ribs. Ye Yue ate two extra bites of rice to save face. The real two bites are not empty words.

After talking to grandma, and troubled Uncle Liao to watch grandma finish his lunch, Ye Yue drove out.

He went to pick up Zhou Manman and Zhang Xingnian.

Ye Yueding's lunch restaurant was a little closer to Li Yuebo's work place, which was convenient for Li Yuebo, but Zhou Manman and Zhang Xingnian were a little far away, so he went to pick him up.

A very interesting thing is that Zhang Xingnian or Jiang Xingnian immediately called out "Manman" when they saw Zhou Manman yesterday, and he said in the hotel room that he remembered the appearance of the neighbor's sister, and also remembered that the neighbor's sister was called "Manman" "——His neighbor's sister looks a lot like Zhou Manman?

Zhou Manman said that she was sure that Zhang Xingnian was Jiang Xingnian, and she also answered the riddle about plants.

In fact, with so many coincidences together, Ye Yue is basically inclined to believe that Zhang Xingnian is Jiang Xingnian, and he thinks that Li Yuebo thinks so too, but Li Yuebo has always spoken steadily and comprehensively, so he added a sentence after speculation last night: If he is Jiang Xingnian."

Today's lunch appointment is a good proof, if it is not basically confirmed that he is Jiang Xingnian, Li Yuebo would not have a dinner appointment.

The car drove smoothly, the car was very quiet, no one spoke, Zhou Manman sat in the co-pilot, looking out the window, Zhang Xingnian sat alone in the back seat, Ye Yue occasionally glanced at the rearview mirror, Zhang Xingnian peeked at it from time to time Zhou Manman.

The windows of the car were open, and the early autumn wind poured in with the calm and peaceful atmosphere of Tibetan winter, and the only sound in the car was the sound of the wind and the sound of the car driving.

Li Yuebo called and said that he had arrived and asked them what they wanted to order.

Obviously what he asked was not Ye Yue, he knew better than anyone in the world what Ye Yue wanted to eat, what he asked was Zhou Manman and Zhang Xingnian.

Ye Yue helped Zhou Manman back with fried pork with diced bamboo shoots, and Zhou Manman added another dish of ginkgo porridge. As soon as he said the word ginkgo porridge, Zhang Xingnian's eyes in the back row widened.

Ye Yue didn't notice while driving, and asked Zhang Xingnian if he had any dishes to order or anything to avoid.

Zhang Xingnian smiled and shook his head, saying that he also likes ginkgo porridge by coincidence, Ye Yue blinked.

The car drove across the asphalt road, causing a blast.

·

They arrived quickly, Li Yuebo helped Ye Yue open the car door, and led him inside.

Zhou Manman and Zhang Xingnian followed behind.

The timing was just right, they had just sat down and the dishes had just been served.

"Ginkgo bears fruit every year. Although it is smelly, these ginkgo fruits are actually the most common food in our yard." Zhou Manman said while stirring the ginkgo porridge in the bowl.

Of course, what she said here is wrong, because ginkgo does not bear fruit, the fruit that grows on the ginkgo tree and falls to the ground is actually its seeds, and the ginkgo is not the seeds of ginkgo, but its seeds.

"Jiang Xingnian likes ginkgo porridge the most. I don't like sweet porridge. My favorite is..." Zhou Manman continued.

"Salt and pepper ginkgo." Zhang Xingnian answered.

Zhou Manman looked up at him.

Zhang Xingnian was a little embarrassing, with Shu Lang's apologetic smile suddenly interjecting: "My neighbor's sister also likes it."

Zhou Manman squeezed the handle of the spoon tightly.

Ye Yue watched and shook his head slightly in his heart, the next moment Li Yuebo put a large chopsticks dish in his bowl, Ye Yue raised his eyes and stared at him, Li Yuebo was as motionless as a mountain.

Ye Yue stepped on his foot under the table, and before he stepped back, Li Yuebo spun his foot and gently pressed back the foot he just stepped on.

Ye Yue stared at Li Yuebo incredulously.

Li Yuebo was amused by his expression, smiled silently, loosened his feet, and quickly reached out to fish under the table, hanging Ye Yue's leg on his own.

It is early autumn, and there is still the lingering aftertaste of the high temperature in summer, so Ye Yue is wearing mid-pants today. The mid-pants mean that when Li Yuebo fished his legs, they were actually clinging to his legs, and now they are being buckled. Li Yuebo's hand was actually pressing on his leg.

This is not only unbelievable, but in broad daylight, Ye Yue's beautiful big eyes are shining brightly with a huge exclamation mark calling out by name - Li Yuebo!

Li Yuebo lightly pinched the delicate leg flesh under his palm, and let go.

Ye Yue swished his legs back, stretched out his hand and twisted Li Yuebo hard, and resigned himself to eating the food in the bowl.

Zhou Manman was immersed in his emotions, Zhang Xingnian was all focused on Zhou Manman, and didn't notice their small movements.

But the next moment Zhou Manman took a big chopstick of Ye Yue's favorite dish and put it in his bowl, Ye Yue looked up and understood Zhou Manman's meaning - I'm not happy, Ye Jiaojiao, you come with me.

Eat it, good friends are used to cheat.

·

Li Yuebo's work efficiency is always surprisingly high. After lunch, Li Yuebo talked about the business - about Zhang Xingnian's neighbor sister.

He found the photo on his phone, it was a completely unfamiliar girl who didn't look like Zhou Manman at all, and said that this was Zhang Xingnian's neighbor who went abroad that he found.

Zhang Xingnian shook his head and said, "Impossible, my neighbor's sister looks very similar to Zhou Manman, so I only admitted it yesterday."

Li Yuebo Gujing glanced at him calmly, then took another stack of new materials and put them on the table.

The text on the information clearly stated that not only did she not resemble Zhou Manman at all, Zhang Xingnian's neighbor sister was not named Manman, but Lin Nan.

"But I also received overseas calls from her..." Zhang Xingnian said.

The noon sunlight in early autumn poured in through the glass windows, and one beam just fell on the stack of materials, illuminating a line of text in it.

Ye Yue looked at it: "It has her phone number on it."

Li Yuebo said he came in a hurry, he hadn't called yet, if he wanted, he could call now, and he took out his mobile phone after speaking.

Zhou Manman took the phone and dialed the number, and turned on the speakerphone.

After a few rings, the phone on the other side answered.

"Hello." Zhou Manman spoke first.

"็ Hello Who are you?"

"Hi, may I bother you, my name is Zhou Manman, and I am a student. Are you Lin Nan?"

"I am, what's the matter?"

"Hi, it's like this. Our school is doing a childhood research on young scientists. I'm currently in charge of the childhood visit of botanist Zhang Xingnian. The school gave me this call, saying that you are his childhood friend. I would like to ask if it is convenient for you to tell some childhood anecdotes about Zhang Xingnian? Thank you."

Ye Yue told Zhou Manman before that the strange alpha he met on the Ferris wheel was a botanist.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

"Hello, are you still there?" Zhou Manman asked.

"Yes, yes," the voice on the other side was very enthusiastic, "I'm just remembering who Zhang Xingnian is. I'm sorry, is the information given to you by the school wrong? I don't seem to know Zhang Xingnian."

Ye Yue tapped the word "Anshi" on his mobile phone to remind him.

"The information given to me by the school says that you and Zhang Xingnian were neighbors when you were in Anshi." Zhou Manman said.

"Oh, Anshi," Xiao Xiao exclaimed from the opposite side, "I remembered, when we were young, there seemed to be a family of uncles and aunts named Zhang upstairs in our house, wait for me to ask my mother."

Then came the voice of conversation from the opposite side:

"Mom, when we lived in Anshi, was there a neighbor named Zhang upstairs?"

"Well... yes, I'm still a doctor. My family is very busy and I seldom see him."

"Then did I play well with their children when I was young?" "Why? You were autistic when you were young, and you only played with me and my father every day."

"Then mother, do you still remember that their child is named Zhang Xingnian? A phone call came and said that Zhang Xingnian has become a famous botanist, and now he wants to interview me about some interesting things about his childhood."

"Hmm... I can't remember the name. That kid doesn't come out to play very often. I only see him in the flower garden downstairs. I really like plants since I was a child."

The other person picked up the phone again: "I'm sorry, we didn't play much together when we were young. My mother said that he liked plants very much since he was a child."

"Okay, excuse me, thank you." Zhou Manman replied.

The other side hung up the phone.

Three faces and six eyes all looked at Zhang Xingnian.

Zhang Xingnian murmured a little: "How come...'Manman' really called me, I remember that she likes salt and pepper gingko, and I often go to a place with a high threshold to play with her. Hold the door frame to enter the door, I don't hold the door frame, and she laughs at me when I fall...and get vaccinated, 'Manman' doesn't cry... We also made an appointment to climb on the second day of every autumn Ferris wheel, at the very top..."

"There is no top, you remember wrongly," Zhou Manman said, "Our appointment is to ride the Ferris wheel twice a year, once on the first day of spring and once on the second day of autumn, and we have an appointment for kissing on the Under the ginkgo tree in the orphanage, you put these two together."

Zhang Xingnian, no, it should be said that Jiang Xingnian looked at her stupidly. This was indeed Manman's face in his mind, but he only remembered Manman, not whether it was Zhou Manman.

Li Yuebo pulled out a few pages of information on the desktop and arranged them side by side.

Ye Yue looked at it, and there were several medical examination forms.

"This is the report of the physical examination you did after you received the job offer." Li Yuebo tapped on a piece of paper on the table, and then tapped another, "This is the report card when Jiang Xingnian was in the orphanage." Several medical examination sheets."

Li Yuebo said that he sent the job invitation. After considering that Chen Chen had a scientific research team behind him, he sent job invitations to many academic leaders and newcomers in the name of better preparations for the Fengquanshan project—inviting them Come to be a consultant, and along with the invitation, there are also attractive things for each subject. For example, in the invitation sent to Jiang Xingnian, there is a unique plant introduction of Fengquan Mountain, and a physical examination is also included. The reason is that Fengquan Mountain The project is difficult, and the team will make a health chart according to the actual physical condition of each consultant.

Li Yuebo's reason for doing this is very simple. Since Chen Chen has a very powerful scientific research team behind him, according to common sense, the people in such a powerful scientific research team should not be unknown people, so he simply got to know the bottom line of the academic world. .

The physical examination is also very simple. Since this team has such great scientific research results in ao, some lunatics will experiment with themselves if they are not guaranteed. Anyway, they bet on the probability. If they win, they will make money. In practical use, he never thinks there are too many materials.

He specially asked someone to draw up the medical examination list. The above items are very complete, and it doesn’t matter whether he will come to Fengquanshan as a consultant, because Fengquanshan is a continuous and long-term project. Even if there is no cooperation opportunity now, there may be in the future. , just as greetings in advance to everyone, and we will cooperate happily when we have cooperation in the future.

This step is very extensive, and it is unlikely that those national-level academicians will come, but this is only a preliminary screening, and of course the sample size should be maximized.

I didn't expect the first harvest to come.

"Your blood type, qualification level and many other basic data are completely consistent with Jiang Xingnian." Li Yuebo handed over the physical examination report. "Of course, the appearance is also the same. Zhou Manman has confirmed this."

"More importantly, a piece of the hippocampus in your brain was removed many years ago," Li Yuebo said, "I guess it was when you were six years old."

Because "Zhang Xingnian" moved from his hometown to Anshi when he was six years old.

The hippocampus controls memory.

Zhang Xingnian, no, it should be said that Jiang Xingnian's eyes widened.

"I did live in the hospital when I was a child, because I fell on my head, and I can't remember things when I was a child." Jiang Xingnian continued to mutter.

And his "parents" have a doctor and a nurse, which is very convenient.

"But my neighbor's sister really called me overseas." Jiang Xingnian basically believed it, but he still couldn't figure it out, "After six years old."

The implication was that it had nothing to do with the hippocampus, and the overseas phone call he remembered was true.

In fact, not only him, but also Ye Yue can't figure this out. If the hippocampus is cut and the memory is damaged, then let him forget everything. Why give him a "neighbor sister"?And the neighbor's sister obviously followed Zhou Manman's example.

"Because that is the anchor point for your clear self-positioning." Li Yuebo said.

There is a term in psychology called anchoring psychology, which refers to a thinking mechanism of the human brain. The most straightforward example, if the original price of 199 yuan is discounted to 99 yuan, the human brain will feel super cheap. The original price of 199 yuan It is the anchor point for your judgment.

Human memory also has an anchor point, that anchor point is not for you to judge the value, but for you to clarify who you are.

It was Ye Yue who inspired Li Yuebo.

Li Yuebo briefly told the haunting story in the manga.

"The cursed person asked who he was, and what was the correct answer?" Li Yuebo asked Ye Yue.

"My love." Ye Yue replied.

"When the cursed person doesn't know who he is, he orients himself through his lover, that is, he is his lover's lover. If the location is clear, the curse disappears." Li Yuebo said, "Your memory anchor It is Manman, the hippocampus is cut, the memory is damaged, you lose yourself and fall into chaos, and you can only locate yourself through the memory of Manman—you are the person who loves Manman, or you are in love with Manman people."

"The person who took you away may have some special reason not to let you lose yourself, so along the anchor point in your memory, he gave you a 'neighborhood sister' to make your anchor point real, and then let you Don't fall into chaos after the hippocampus is cut, and then make you believe in all the 'new settings' they give you." Li Yuebo said.

"As for why it's Manman and not Zhou Manman," Li Yuebo smiled, "I guess you called Manman when you were young, not Zhou Manman."

Zhou Manman nodded beside her.

Without giving everyone more time to digest, Li Yuebo went on to say that the above is just his general logical deduction of the incident, and how the other party did it needs to be handed over to more professional people for details. If Jiang Xingnian If he is willing, he can provide corresponding help, and the possibility of recovering his true memory is not ruled out.

Of course Jiang Xingnian would.

The rest of the time was left to Zhou Manman and Jiang Xingnian, while Ye Yue and Li Yuebo went to his work place.

The place to eat is not too far from Li Yuebo's work place. The two of them are holding hands and walking slowly on the road. There are tall and dense eucalyptus trees on both sides of the road. There are also flowers planted in the green belt. The tits are falling among the branches and flowers. See them When approached, it rustled and flew high.

"But what is the purpose of taking Jiang Xingnian away?" Ye Yue was confused, "You said it was a good deed, cut off the hippocampus, you said it was a bad thing, and raised him so well, these people Are you full?"

Li Yuebo looked at him slightly sideways, his eyes shining with the charm of thinking: "Zhou Manman said that she didn't feel the pheromone that matched her in Jiang Xingnian, this may be the purpose. What you said at the beginning Might be true."

"What's the matter?" Ye Yue raised his head and asked.

"When I told you that people have been paying attention to us, you said you were going to arrest us for experiments," Li Yuebo said, "Now I think there may be this possibility."

"Chen Chen's B-level to A-level, Zhou Manman can't feel the pheromone that matches Jiang Xingnian, these people seem to be doing ao-related experiments," Li Yuebo continued.

There was a small hole in front, Ye Yue raised his head and listened to Li Yuebo's words, but didn't notice it.

Li Yuebo grabbed him by the waist, picked him up, stepped over the small pit, and didn't let go, just hugged him and continued to walk, continuing to say: "It's worth pondering to raise Jiang Xingnian well." , his 'parents' passed away when he was at his time - it doesn't seem like a purely bad person's practice to raise people until they leave the field automatically. When they calculated us, they used all tortuous calculations. But we have never used people like Aunt Zhang who have been with us for such a long time to attack directly. Yueyue thinks why?"

Ye Yue shook the legs hanging on both sides of his waist, and blinked: "Is it impossible for them to retain a trace of moral and legal restraint on themselves?"

Li Yuebo smiled lightly.

"I think it's like an experiment." Li Yuebo said, "It's like a researcher treats a mouse used as an experiment. It is very gentle to take care of it, but it is cruel when it is done in the experiment. So you can cut off the hippocampus without hesitation, and you can also take care of 18 mice." Year."

"That's for us..." Ye Yue answered.

"Chen Chen said he's been watching it since he was five years old. Maybe we were under observation at that time." Li Yuebo patted him lightly. "Now maybe the experimental period has come, and we are ready to 'experiment' us."

Li Yuebo kissed him: "Are you afraid?"

Ye Yue shook his head: "We are not guinea pigs."

Li Yuebo chuckled, yes, they are not guinea pigs, they are the top ao.

The mountain bird chirped softly, hitting Bi Xiao directly.
