Autistic genius, a flourishing era of scientific research

Sure enough, Lu Qinghuan drank some water, wiped her tears and said in a trembling voice:

"I dreamed about...Jiang Yan, Yan Yan...she...she..."

Lu Qinghuan kept saying "she" for a long time but couldn't say the rest of the words.

The voice became more and more choked, as if she would burst into tears in the next moment.

Lu Ze said quickly, "Well, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't. It's too late today, so we can't find her. She skipped classes during the day, so wait until tomorrow morning, when all the shops are open and the street vendors are out. We can find anyone to ask and find out where they are."

"Liu Feng is so big, and no matter what the two students are doing outside skipping classes, there will definitely be a lot of people seeing them."

"You don't have to worry too much."

Lu Qinghuan seemed to have ignored his words, immersed in her own world. She clenched the cup in her hands tightly, and as if using up all her strength and courage, she closed her eyes, lowered her head, and continued with the second half of her words:

“…She’s dead!”

Lu Ze's words of comfort stopped instantly, and he looked at Lu Qinghuan with a puzzled look. The room was silent. After a while, Lu Ze finally spoke:

"You don't have to think so...seriously."

"That incident with Second Mother was, it was an accident. It wouldn't be so easy to cause a loss of life."

Lu Ze didn't dare to mention what happened that year when Lu Qinghuan's biological mother had an accident. This incident had a great impact on both her and Lu Qingzhou.

Because of this incident, the relationship between Lu Qingzhou, Lu Qinghuan and his second uncle became a little strained.

But he felt that Lu Qinghuan's dream that Jiang Yan was dead tonight was closely related to this incident.

Over the past few years, it seemed that Lu Qinghuan and Lu Qingzhou had both emerged from the shadow of that incident, but in fact, both of them had changed.

Lu Ze saw through the two siblings clearly, and Lu Qinghuan became "bolder", which actually meant that he began to like going against his second uncle many times.

In fact, I'm not much braver.

His second brother Lu Qingzhou seemed to be more stable and mature, but in some aspects he seemed to have reached a dead end and was stuck in a rut.

For example, on weekdays when his mother went out to buy groceries, Lu Qingzhou would basically accompany her, both morning and evening.

Sometimes it’s not just reflected in this.

It's like guarding something.

As soon as Lu Qinghuan said those three words, she started to cry, wiping her tears as she cried.

Lu Ze looked at it for a moment, raised his hand and gently patted Lu Qinghuan on the head and said:

"Okay, go to sleep. I'll stay here with you for a while. When you wake up, I'll take you to school. Jiang Yan might have already returned to school."

Lu Qinghuan shook his head and sniffed hard:

"No, no...it has nothing to do with my mom's matter. I didn't think it was that serious."

"I didn't dream about this incident, but... about what happened last time, during the summer vacation. I dreamed that my third sister died. I still remember it clearly when I woke up. She died next to my legs. In the morning, the human trafficker found her body and it was already stiff - she didn't even close her eyes, she was right next to my legs..."

As Lu Qinghuan was speaking, her whole body trembled and she almost dropped the cup in her hand. Fortunately, Lu Ze was quick to help her steady it, and the warm water in it did not spill out.

"It's so real, just like it's real, just like it's real!! Bro! I'm not lying to you!"

The quilt was taken away by Lu Ze. Lu Qinghuan grabbed Lu Ze's arm, his face full of panic and fear.

Lu Ze covered her eyes and said, "That's enough. Drink some water. Don't be so anxious."

He took the cup of water and fed Lu Qinghuan a sip, patted Lu Qinghuan's shoulder, took a stool and sat down beside Lu Qinghuan's bed:

"Dreams are all fake, go to sleep quickly."

"I can't sleep. You didn't find her. Every time I close my eyes, I see Yanyan lying on the ground with her eyes wide open, motionless."

"Brother, do you think there are ghosts in this world? Do ghosts appear in dreams?"

Lu Qinghuan's words became more and more outrageous. Lu Ze stood by the bed with a dim light in his eyes. He glanced at the darkness outside the window. Although it was pitch black outside, his sight seemed to penetrate the darkness and see something.

"There are no ghosts. How could such things exist? Feudal superstitions are not to be trusted." It was rare for him to explain so seriously.

Lu Qinghuan pursed his lips and shook his head, then took another gulp of water and burped.

"Third brother, did you and uncle go over there to take a look before you came back?"

That's where Jiang Yan lives.

Lu Qinghuan did not tell Old Lady Lu and Zhang Qianlin about her dream, she only said that she had a nightmare.

Her aunt and Old Lady Lu were actually a little superstitious, but Lu Qinghuan didn't dare to tell them, for fear of scaring her grandmother and making her aunt even more worried.

I told Lu Zecai about it.

Perhaps because she had spoken out what was hidden in her heart, she suddenly calmed down a lot. Her fingers unconsciously touched the water cup in her hand, thinking about what happened this time.

She thought carefully about every word she had said to Jiang Yan yesterday.

Suddenly she remembered what Jiang Yan asked her at noon.

"Have you looked for it at the machinery factory where you and your uncle work?"

Lu Ze was completely confused by her inexplicable questioning:

"Why go there? It's too far and too remote, not to mention it, but why go there at night?"

"But what if she goes to the factory out of curiosity?"

"The factory is closed at night. It's useless for her to go there. She can't get in. She's just a student, there's no need for her to go there. And she brought someone with her? Do you think it's possible?"

"Impossible... I just found it strange that Yanyan suddenly asked about our machinery factory during lunch yesterday. Oh, she also asked about the food factory."

Lu Ze said, "Maybe they were just curious. After Mr. 'Code Name''s drawings came out, quite a few people came to our machinery factory to hang out. Some even came to ask if we had made Mr. 'Code Name''s fans and agricultural machinery."

Lu Qinghuan nodded disappointedly: "She probably asked this because of Mr. 'Code Name'. Yanyan also bought that magazine and brought it to school to read every day."

"Their homeroom teacher treated her very well because she was good at math. The head teacher of Class 5 allowed her to arrange her time freely in math class."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze sighed inwardly, praising Jiang Yan for what he had done.

The fact that the teacher made such an arrangement only meant that he was absolutely certain that Jiang Yan had learned it.

"She can even discuss college problems with Lu Qingzhou..." Lu Ze said casually.

This matter was brought up again. This was the fact that Jiang Yan had forced the Lu family to admit during the summer vacation that she had an incredible talent for mathematics.

Hearing Lu Qinghuan's words now, Lu Ze was not surprised at all.

"So did you go over there to see Yanyan and did you come back?" Seeing that Lu Ze had changed the subject, Lu Qinghuan immediately asked Lu Ze the first question that he had skipped.

"I went." Lu Ze shook his head and said, "I didn't come back."

"Oh..." Lu Qinghuan had nothing more to say. He just sat on the edge of the bed without saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lu Ze didn't say anything. He sat on the edge of the bed with his legs crossed and dozed off.

After a while, Lu Qinghuan found that his third brother was almost asleep while sitting. He lowered his eyes and looked at the cup of water in his hand and took a sip of water.
