Make man

Very ugly. "

Chen Ou didn't answer, and said: "I'm going to give a popular science speech tomorrow, can you help me prepare? For example, read the literature."

George said awkwardly: "I would love to, but... science is Martian to me."

Nice grew up listening to gene discussions in the living room, and helped Chen Ou organize his notes, so it was impossible for him to fail to read.Chen Ou gave up the last illusion that George was Nice, and changed the subject with a smile.

At the door of the room, Chen Ou smelled the familiar fragrance of flowers.George said in surprise, "They sent the wrong flowers?"

Geraniums, and violets.Chen Ou stroked the leaves of the violet and asked George, "What color is the flower?"

"White, sir," replied George, bewildered.

"Leave it, I like the aroma of geraniums very much." Chen Ou said, with a sense of guilt that cannot be expressed, and this further deepened the joy of receiving flowers.

☆, the third day on the cruise ship

The scent of flowers drives away the discomfort of seasickness.The next morning, Chen Ou was full of energy, accompanied by George, and walked to the speech site.

George smiled and said, "You're not at all a scientist when you're having fun, but you're very much like a scientist when you're working. An impromptu lecture! You've been preparing for seven hours."

"Half an hour." Chen Ou corrected him, "Only half an hour is used to prepare the speech, and the rest of the time I am listening to the abstracts of the papers sent by my colleagues and students. One or two are very new, please remind me to restore my eyesight. Read the full text again."

George said, "So you failed the sea urchin and shrimp tacos and the mulled wine that the head waiter brought you."

Chen Ou smiled and said, "How come? Yesterday's dinner was very... ah!"

The direction and obstacle indication functions of smart glasses and crutches are very useful, so that he can almost walk like a healthy person. As a result, the careless Chen Ou was almost hit by a waiter.The man burst out through the fire door, nearly kicked his smart crutch away, but ran away without an apology.

"I remember you!" George yelled.Maher's voice sounded: "Professor Chen?"

George angrily recounted what happened just now, and Maer said seriously: "This is too much. Do you want to go to that person, or complain to the cruise ship? I will accompany the professor to the small auditorium."

Chen Ou said with a smile: "Go, I haven't seen Mr. Louis for a long time, let us stay alone for a while." There must be a reason for Maher to dismiss George.

Ma Er took Chen Ou's arm.He is slightly taller than Chen Ou, and his pace is eager.Chen Ou had a hard time trying to keep up with him.But he didn't want to show weakness, and followed Maher without saying a word.

"The board of directors approved my father's resignation today." Maher said, "The new chairman will take office in a week."

The smart glasses reminded that there was still 100 meters away from the small auditorium.Chen Ou simply saved the perfunctory, and asked: "What can I do for you?"

Maher said: "I admit that the Louis Group is more aggressive in business competition, but I have always respected you. What makes me sad is that you did not reciprocate the same amount of friendship."

An incredible idea jumped into Chen Ou's mind, and it became clearer and clearer.He asked in disbelief: "The new chairman is... Charles?"

Maher said angrily: "You guessed it, the old guys on the board think that Charles is a big deal because he got your friendship and shares in the institute. They don't even understand how he did it. .”

Then they came to the door of the small auditorium.Maher whispered: "Think about my cooperation proposal. One more friend is better than one more enemy. And it is better for Charles to be in the research institute than to return to the Louis Group. It is not in the common interests of you and me to let him come back to work. "

Chen Ou was noncommittal, pushed open the door, and shut out Maer's voice.Light music was playing in the small auditorium.A man asked, "Are you a visitor to an event?"

Chen Ou said with a smile: "I was invited to give a speech."

The man said excitedly: "I am the master of ceremonies, how long will your speech take?"

Chen Ou prepared a 10-minute speech.However, the lively light music made him change his mind.Speaking on the road could definitely be more uninhibited.

"Up to 10 minutes." Chen Ou promised, "If the audience is interested in asking questions, we still have time to fully communicate."

The master of ceremonies laughed, very satisfied with Chen Ou's arrangement, and asked: "Do you need live accompaniment? For example, play a bar of music at the right time to enhance the atmosphere, just like a live variety show?"

The organizer was more flexible than expected, no wonder they used popular science lectures to please tourists, Chen Ou thought.He is very happy with this arrangement.On the premise of ensuring scientificity, popular science speeches for the public can be more entertaining and full of fun.

Chen Ou said: "There is no need for accompaniment, but a small piece of music can be used to draw out the theme of the speech."

The master of ceremonies said: "We don't have much music prepared, what do you think of the wedding march?"

Of course, this is the best musical companion for genetic science.Most people don't care about cutting-edge scientific developments, but few people don't care about the genes of their offspring.Chen Ou said: "Very good. Are there many people present now?"

The master of ceremonies said: "The announcement of the event was hasty, and there will not be too many people present. After all, it is a temporary event."

This is in line with Chen Ou's expectation.At this time, the smart watch vibrated slightly, reminding him that the scheduled speech time had arrived.Chen Ou said to the master of ceremonies: "Let's start."

The master of ceremonies said in astonishment, "Wait no longer?"

Chen Ou shook his head, he is a very punctual person, both to others and to himself.With the assistance of the master of ceremonies, he stepped onto the podium, made a brief self-introduction, and said, "Today, the topic of my speech is "Genes and Offspring."

The first two bars of "Wedding March" were playfully played on the spot.Chen Ou nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you."

He talked about the concept of cistron (cistron), and compared two genes: the old-age lethal gene and the juvenile lethal gene.He talked about why the research on the former is more in-depth, because the former is easier to pass on to offspring through reproduction than the latter, and the latter often dies naturally due to the premature death of the carrier.By the way, he talked about the working principle of the lethal gene in old age: after certain influencing factors accumulate in the body to a certain concentration, the lethal gene thinks that the human body is aging, and it takes over the control of the body, causing serious illness and death.As a countermeasure, people can reduce the impact factor by exercising, and "deceive" genes to think that the human body is younger than the actual age, so as to delay the time when genes take effect.

For comparison, he cited several examples of short-lived geniuses, including Mozart.

"Such outstanding talent is probably not a gift from heaven, but a genetic disease. Just like dolphins can hear ultrasound, talented musicians hear music that ordinary people cannot hear. As a balance of nature, Geniuses like this are mostly short-lived."

There were murmurs of discussion from the audience, but they quickly quieted down, as if someone was helping him maintain order.He nodded his thanks in the man's direction.

"The genes carried on the 23 pairs of chromosomes of human beings are not just inherited from parents mechanically, but from the accumulated experience of all human beings for thousands of years. Genes are a self-learning system. It tells the human body to remember negative reactions and not to do it again. Those things that cause negative reactions, such as pain, bitterness, regret; to repeatedly do things that can cause positive emotions, such as the satisfaction after eating, the pleasure of orgasm. This is the reason why weight loss is difficult to succeed, because Those who lose weight have to fight against their own genes, or against all human beings. This is also the reason why the marriage system can continue from generation to generation, because it makes us feel safe, happy, loved and loved." Chen Ou concluded.

When he finished, he was very satisfied with his precise timing, which was exactly 10 minutes.

The audience was silent, and a feeling of confusion seemed to spread in the small auditorium. It seemed that everyone was waiting for something, and even the master of ceremonies did not speak.According to the usual procedures, the master of ceremonies should invite the audience to ask questions at this time, or express their thanks to him.Chen Ou frowned, and quickly recalled his speech to check whether he said anything politically incorrect.But suddenly someone started applauding, not the kind of polite applause, very forceful and full of passion, which quickly drove most of the people.There was warm applause in the auditorium.

Chen Ou could tell that the applause that took the lead and the voice that helped him maintain order just now came from the same direction, maybe the same person.He nodded in that direction again in thanks.

There was a rush of footsteps from the entrance, and someone ran up to him, panting.

"I'm sorry, Professor Chen!" The manager almost cried, "We sent you a notice, but obviously something went wrong and you didn't receive it—the casino launched a 24-hour carnival program, and there were too few audiences who signed up for the lecture, so We canceled scheduled lectures."

Chen Ou didn't understand what he was saying.

"So now..." he asked bewilderedly.

"It's a private wedding now. I thought you were invited to give a speech of blessing before the newcomers enter the venue." The master of ceremonies said, his voice was a little anxious, as if he felt that he had been fooled.

"Never mind, this is the best and most appropriate wedding speech I've ever heard," said a voice.

Chen Ou slowly raised his head, feeling dizzy.Blindness had a huge impact on his sense of balance, he thought.

"I improvised a small wedding, but unexpectedly I heard the most memorable popular science speech. Thank you very much." Nice said.

"You... your wedding?" Chen Ou could hardly find his voice.He knew that Niss was on this cruise ship, and he had guessed many times how Niss would appear in front of him, but the current situation was something he had never expected, and it was far beyond his ability to bear.

"Yes, I'm sorry I didn't invite you because you're unwell. But I'm so glad you can come." Nice supported Chen Ou firmly, "You look like..."

Chen Ou couldn't hear the following words, and the genes that control hearing, heartbeat and thinking temporarily went on strike.

When his hearing recovered, he was sitting in his room, and the nurse was taking his blood pressure and pulse.

"I have to complain to Mr. Louis, you just left him like this! If the manager didn't send him back in time, what would he be like now!" The nurse who had hardly said anything was furious, angry The subject is George.

George didn't refute a word.Chen Ou turned sideways and was immediately stopped by the nurse.

"Don't move, I'm not done yet," she said softly, and immediately reprimanded George in a different tone, "Look at the pressure in his eyes! He..."

"Okay, you all go out, let me stay by myself for a while, I'm fine." Chen Ou said wearily, not at all thinking about why George didn't receive the notice from the manager, and why he didn't return for a long time.He had a terrible headache and just wanted to be alone for a while.

"You can't..."

"You go out." Chen Ou ordered sternly.

The nurse and George kept their mouths shut and left the bedroom without closing the door.Chen Ou could still hear the voice of the nurse reprimanding George in the living room.

He stood up, groped into the small study, and sat on the chair, lost in thought.

The nurse and George never bothered him.I don't know who among the two came in, and with a bang, it seemed to put the glass on the table.Then the door was quietly closed, and Chen Ou didn't hear the sound from the living room again.

After a long time, he took out the electronic diary, turned on the switch, and said, "Play."

As usual, his own voice filled the room.

"Nice, I'm going to have eye surgery tomorrow. I don't know what to do with the precious time before the surgery, so I watched an episode of the TV series. The main character starts out as young and handsome, with extraordinary skills, and everything goes as he wants. That's right. , this is the worst kind of show in bad taste. I can't think of how else the writer can make the protagonist grow. Growth needs tears like a dish needs salt."

It is a great irony to listen to the diary in the past now.He has never realized that it is himself who needs to grow up, and it is himself who needs to get out of mistakes and confusion.Of course, young people always recover easily from feelings.How could he have forgotten that just as quickly as Nice fell in love with Bodi, he gave up that relationship so quickly.

He closed his eyes and said, "Delete."

"Are you sure?" the system electronic voice asked dryly.

"determine."

After the diary is deleted, the next entry starts to play automatically.

"Nice. I'm blind for a while, and I won't see the sun in about four or five days. Charles hired a life assistant for me, who should be very handsome. Whenever we appear in front of the crowd, I can feel a moment of silence , and the girls I met on the trip liked him too. It's easy to get nostalgic when you're blind, and I really miss the last time we went on vacation in Europe."

This is the first diary he recorded after boarding the ship, and the last before the wedding in Nice.Every word was like a sharp knife, piercing his heart with blood.

"delete."

After deleting the clean voice diary, Chen Ou's mood was not relaxed, on the contrary, his head hurt even more.He fumbled in the drawer.Inside was a bottle of sleeping pills.Now all he needs is this.

"You promised me not to take any more medicine." A voice rang out, and a hand firmly pressed the back of his hand.

Chen Ou retreated abruptly, he was not ready to face Nice yet.

☆, the third night on the cruise ship

After a year, they finally meet again, only an arm's length apart.The lack of communication over the past year could have created a solid barrier between the knots, but their thoughtless actions shattered the barrier.Whether it was Chen Ou's desperation to delete one by one diary, or Nisi's move to leave the wedding immediately and follow him, it was a very clear confession, which shocked them and could no longer deceive themselves and others.

They digested the facts they had just discovered, just like primitive people who saw a fire for the first time, carefully studying the deadly warmth in front of them.There is still doubt in addition to joy, and sorrow gradually grows in addition to fear.Silence is like the wings of a giant bird, sheltering them gently.

The language retreats, and the smell occupies the small study space.The moist smell of the linen coat after ironing, the smell of roses on the groom’s collar, the dry leather smell of the diary cover, the smell of champagne in the mouth, the smell of tranquilizers on the body, and on top of all these things, getting to know each other again But body odor.These scents seem to have their own orbits, hovering clearly, like stars revolving in the universe, without colliding or converging with each other, just passing by again and again.

After a long time, Chen Ou raised his other hand and slowly touched Nice.Nice's muscles tensed, and he gazed excitedly and eagerly at the approaching fingertips, unable to believe his good luck.But Chen Ou's hand stopped on Nice's collar, took off the rosebud he was wearing, and slowly stretched the flower to his nose.

According to wedding customs, the groom wears a flower on his collar.This rose was delivered from the temperature-controlled greenhouse on the cruise ship in the early morning. The dew on the buds has not yet dried up, and the fragrance of fresh roses is flying.

"Where is it, sweet rose?

"Where is it, sweet rose?

"Once gone, never regained

"I'm not coming back, I'm not coming back."

The professor often chanted this little poem to make fun of Chen Ou.Looking back, Chen Ou finally understood that the professor was chanting more for himself at that time.

The professor did not confess his confession until his death. Is it out of fear of "once gone, it will never be recovered"?

If he had discovered the professor's secret at that time, would he be in a dilemma like he is with Nice now?

Or, if he has never seen through Nice's mind, will they continue to be content to be the spiritual pillar of each other's life, like the professor and him?

Is he still in time to back off?Or, is he still willing to back down?The great pain brought about by a wedding made him still feel pain in his heart. Would he dare to go through it again?

Nice stared at Chen Ou without blinking, not letting go of the nostalgia and pain gradually appearing on his face.He guarded Chen Ou through the most painful three months after the professor's death.Whenever this expression appeared, Nice knew that he thought of the professor again, and thought of the other half of his gene provider.

At this time, Nice was full of unspeakable jealousy, not only for the professor, but also for Chen Ou who was still distracted.The relationship between the professor and Chen Ou is so harmonious that even death can't break their tacit understanding.He tried to get into it time and time again, but time and time again he got himself covered in bruises.

After discovering the secret of his gene source, he spent a year to let himself give up his feelings for Chen Ou, but finally found it was futile.Chen Ou's gaffe at the wedding today and the overheard monologue rekindled hope in Nice.However, for now, it seems that his fire of hope is being extinguished a little bit.

What broke the silence was a word from Chen Ou.

"Ugh!……"

His sigh is heavy and helpless, full of sadness, not the sound of a person who is looking forward to love.To Nice, it sounded like a gust of wind, blowing out the last spark of hope in his heart.

"I thought you buried your heart in the grave and couldn't grieve for anything else. I was reckless about the wedding, and I'm sorry," Nice said, making the apology sound like an accusation in order to hold back his tears.He raised his hand inch by inch, letting go of the restraint on Chen Ou.

But Chen Ou flipped his hand and held Nice's palm that was about to retract.The medicine bottle fell, and I didn't know where it hit. There was a "ding" sound, and two or three pills hit the feet of the two of them.Neither of them cared.

Nice froze, feeling like he was dreaming.He looked down at his hand, and even carefully tried to twitch it twice, but it didn't twitch, and of course, he didn't use any force.

Chen Ou silently brought Nice's hand to his chest and pressed it against his chest, where he jumped loudly and urgently.

Then he felt a heavy weight on his legs.Ness knelt beside him.

His upper body lay on Chen Ou's legs, his arms hugged Chen Ou's waist tightly, and his face was buried between Chen Ou's chest and abdomen. This was Niss's favorite coquettish posture when he was young.But the weight on Chen Ou's legs made him realize clearly that the person kneeling in front of him was a grown man.

"I'm sorry!" Nice said incoherently, his heart was beating very violently, half from excitement, half from joy, "I...I shouldn't make you sad..."

"So, the wedding was fake? Did you arrange the cancellation of the speech without timely notice?" Chen Ou asked.Smart, he quickly deduced the whole process from Nice's reaction.

"I was so jealous that I heard you want to give George flowers, and you turned to him and spoke to him with such a gentle expression..." Nice said, "Mael sees you very badly, and needs to make some big moves to attract his attention." Attention. And I want revenge, to give you a taste of being ignored..."

The fabric of the shirt was wet, and Nice cried.Chen Ou slowly stroked Nice's head, just like treating that bad-tempered toddler who was punching and kicking.

"I thought George was you." Chen Ou said, thankfully he couldn't see with his eyes, otherwise his eyes would reveal too many things that couldn't be hidden.

But that's enough.Nice took a breath and said nothing.

Chen Ou was silent because he was ashamed, and Nisi was because he couldn't believe it.The two were silent again, but their distance was getting closer.

Someone knocked on the door and came in.

"You..." George was speechless after saying one word.At this time, Nice was still kneeling beside Chen Ou, with his arms around his waist.To make matters worse, Chen Ou lowered his head and pressed his forehead against him.Their lips were not touching, but they were close to a very subtle distance.

Nice opened his mouth before Chen Ou.

"You are not needed here for the time being, Second Lieutenant Wells."

"...Yes, sir." Still in shock, George touched his heels reflexively and left.Chen Ou heard him close the bedroom door thoughtfully.

This flattering move made the originally charming atmosphere awkward and ridiculous.They are sensitive to this shift.

"I must move George to a desert island to be stationed." Nice said bitterly.

Chen Ou smiled and pulled him up, not ignoring his address to George.

"George was arranged by you?"

"The subordinates I trained by myself." Nice stood up and squeezed into the chair with Chen Ou, just like when he was a child.

"No wonder I sometimes mistake him for you."

"It was me once in a while," said Ness, "and George and I switched roles that night after the dance. I had to make sure you were safe myself. Still, you startled me when you offered to buy me a drink." While drinking. I know you admire George, but I don't know you are so... I guess it was Charles who led you badly, and I must exercise my rights as a controlling shareholder to cut his salary..."

He turned to Chen Ou, with one arm still around his waist, and asked, "What did you mean that night when you said that you had no legal relationship with me? You clearly knew..."

His tone was expectant and enthusiastic, and the heat of a young man exuded from under the thin suit jacket.Chen Ou has no doubt that as long as he gives an ambiguous answer, their relationship will definitely take a big step forward.However, he's not ready yet.

"It's literally." He pushed Niss away and stood up, pretending not to notice the disappointed sigh of the other party, "Now it's time to do something serious, Mr. Soldier. How many clues do you have about Jessica?"

Nice also stood up, just in time to support Chen Ou who slipped because of stepping on the Chinese medicine pill.

"I often dream about this scene. There are a lot of sleeping pills scattered on the carpet, and you fall on the carpet." Niss said, Chen Ou couldn't help being stunned by the desperation and madness in his words, so he didn't care about Niss hugging tightly again Live your own facts.

After a while, Chen Ou said solemnly: "I promise you, think about our matter carefully, but after bringing Jessica back safely. Before that, you can no longer hint about this matter."

"Of course," said Nice loudly, "can I explain the last sentence again?"

"about what?"

"About the wedding. The other party is a starlet who is willing to play along with a young and withdrawn billionaire. Weddings have no legal effect."

Chen Ou sighed.

"Then don't forget to invite me to your formal wedding," he said half-jokingly.

"In my wedding, you will stand at the front of the crowd." Nice solemnly promised, not saying whether Chen Ou was left with the position of the groom's father or something else.But Chen Ou felt that his face was getting hot again.

Fortunately, Nice didn't continue, and they continued talking about Jessica.

"James went crazy and seemed to want to modify his son's genes to make him better. Jessica took the baby and escaped. Maher didn't have good intentions for Jessica, but he was on board for other things The Louis Group is likely to be selling stimulant drugs to international criminal gangs. They have been very careful that there are no prohibited ingredients in the drugs, but they can be easily reprocessed into stimulants. Wang Rong received a tip that Maher and the other party were going to We met on this boat, so I was sent aboard." Nice briefly explained the background of getting on the boat.

This was the first time Chen Ou heard Nice describe his work in detail, and he never thought it would be so dangerous before.He grabbed Nice's arm, as if this could separate Nice from danger: "Did you find anything?"

Nice said: "I have screened the passenger list, managed to obtain the DNA of the suspects, and uploaded it to Wang Rong's database, but found nothing. Maybe they will leave the ship halfway to trade."

The author has something to say: Happy Chinese Valentine's Day!

If you see the frame, please remind me in the comments and I will modify it.Thanks!

☆、Chapter 67

The most admirable facility of "Liberty Ocean" is its virtual library the size of a giant screen theater.There is not a single page of books in it, only the study rooms densely packed like a honeycomb and a virtual network connecting more than a hundred famous national libraries.Passengers can lie comfortably on the sofa in the reading room, wear special glasses to enter the virtual world, or read books, or watch movies, or remotely participate in lectures and exhibitions in the land library, or simply visit the virtual world at will.For passengers who are tired of casino bars, this is an ideal place to rest, quiet, comfortable and leisurely.

That night, two passengers came to the virtual world.One person is in his early thirties at most, elegant and steady, smiling and listening to his companions all the time.The other man was about twenty, with straight shoulders and a heroic spirit.They strolled side by side among the rows of bookshelves, talking softly at a level that would not disturb others.

These two people are Chen Ou and Nice.Before entering the virtual world, they had a conversation.

"Jessica came to visit me at Angelo College. She was pregnant at the time. Counting his age, her son is now six years old. She said it was a pity that she only taught "Ocean" to the seventh chapter of the first volume, otherwise I have long since become an oceanographer rather than a soldier."

"Adjusting the genes of a six-year-old child is almost murder. I will persuade James to give up. It is best that he can give up the custody of the child together. I am willing to be the guardian of the child."

They fell silent.No. [-] Fenglin Avenue and its owners have been surrounded by the past, and there is no hope of relief.Maybe the crisp laughter of children can bring some comfort to Chen Ou, Nice and Martin.

"Jessica has such a good memory that she can remember the lessons that were interrupted that year. The seventh part of the first volume... The seventh part... No. 107... She planned to escape before the child was born? But it is not impossible. Except Got a fool once about James, Jessica's always been bright. We'd better look up the contents of Book VII of The Sea."

For Nice and the current Chen Ou, the virtual world is the best place to meet.All the signals are directly received by the brain nerves through the sensor, and vision problems in the real world are no longer obstacles in the virtual world.As soon as Chen Ou entered the network, he saw Nice waiting at the agreed place.

He was wearing a black linen suit with a white French shirt and a champagne-colored silk tie. It was a very standard groom's look, but the collar didn't fit very well.Chen Ou shook his head critically, stretched out his hand to straighten his neckline, and paused for a while on a pearl platinum tie clip.This is an adult gift from the professor for Nice.

"This outfit suits you very well." Chen Ou laughed, not wanting to be submerged in memories again.

Nice looked down and said, "I bought this temporarily from the cruise ship shop. I have never seen such a fabric that is not suitable for making a suit. After wearing it for a while, it was all wrinkled. Fortunately, I didn't forget to adjust the shape when I entered the system."

"Did you also adjust your appearance and height?" Chen Ou asked suspiciously.Niss in the virtual world is taller, thinner, and more handsome than he remembered.

At this time they came to the corner, and several rows of tall bookshelves blocked the sight of others.However, in the virtual world, few people would pay attention to other people's business.So Nis quickly turned his head and kissed him on the cheek: "You are too flattering."

Chen Ou raised a finger to remind him that he had violated a ban.They agreed not to mention their well-known relationship problems until Jessica's matter was over.But Nis is like a person who has been diving for too long and takes a big breath of air. He greedily asks Chen Ou for proof of love. It seems that it is not enough to compensate for his suffering.

Chen Ou originally thought that he would be very repulsed by Nice's transgression, but the fact is that he found that he has long been used to it.What has always disturbed him is not Nice's closeness to him, but Nice's alienation.

They sat down on the carpet against the wall.Chen Ou stretched out his long legs comfortably, and Nisi followed his example, but his posture was very stiff, which made Chen Ou laugh.

"When I was in school, I often sat in the library and read books like this," Chen Ou recalled. "At that time, the application of virtual networks was not as widespread as it is now. The library provided e-readers, but I prefer physical books. There are never enough desks in the library. , many students are sitting in the middle of the bookshelves reading."

When Nice was in school, all libraries were connected to the virtual network, and students could choose their favorite virtual environment to read books at will.Nice, for example, likes to read books by the sea.Therefore, like his peers, he has almost no contact with physical books.Chen Ou's narration is a very novel experience for Nice.However, compared to Chen Ou's reading habits, he is more concerned about other things.

"Your lover at that time was with you?" He asked pretending to be nonchalant.He knew from Martin that Chen Ou once had a lover, but unfortunately died in the Mood for Love due to a genetic disease, which affected Chen Ou's later life ever since.

Chen Ou shook his head, his eyes became deep.But Nis keenly found that there was no pain in it, but only the nostalgia for the past and the old people.He gently held Chen Ou's hand, wanting to convey comforting emotions.As a result, Chen Ou glanced at him with a smile and raised two fingers.

"The professor has a lot of professional books, but he only collects the most classic works, and denounces most of them as cheating money or following the trend. However, sometimes you have to look at second- and third-rate works to understand why classic works It’s a classic. We’ve spent most of our time together here.”

Nice took the opportunity to raise the question in his heart.

"At that time, the professor didn't obstruct you and her..." Since he knew the professor's feelings for Chen Ou, he was shocked and often recalled the scene of the three of them getting along, but it didn't make any sense.The professor had actively introduced Chen Ou's girlfriend.Nice felt that if it was replaced by himself, he would definitely not be able to do it.

Chen Ou gave Nice a warning look, so Nice swallowed the rest of the words, knowing that it was not the time to talk about it yet.

They came to the children's book area, found the seventh volume of the first volume of "Ocean", and looked through it.Re-reading childhood books made Nice feel very interesting, and read the contents with great interest.

"Orcas, predators, are ferocious and sometimes attack other cetaceans, even great white sharks. It occurs in all ocean regions, but is more common in high latitude waters."

Suddenly, Chen Ou let out a "huh" and read:

"Loch Ness is a freshwater lake, and the environment is suitable for the survival of fish and shrimp, which has attracted many water birds. In such a natural environment, legends of monsters appear smoothly. After the Loch Ness monster was widely spread, many places also used Ness came to name some lakes with magical natural phenomena, such as Loch Ness on Moonlight Island."

"Moonlight Island?" Chen Ou raised his head and met Nice's eyes.Nice leaned over to read a book with him.

"There is a lake on Moonlight Island. In the early morning of summer, white mist often appears on the surface of the lake, condensing into various images. The residents on the island named it Loch Ness. This may be for the consideration of developing local tourism..."

Nice remembered: "Yes. We went to the park that day, and Jessica said to go back and read me a story related to my name. In the end, she was taken away by James."

Chen Ou looked at Nice thoughtfully, and Nice caught his gaze very keenly.

"What's wrong?" Nice asked vigilantly. At this moment, he finally showed an image that Chen Ou was not familiar with at all, an image that was different from autistic children and reckless teenagers.Now he is more like Wang Rong, with a vigilant expression, always waiting for the opportunity to move, he is completely an officer who has experienced wind and rain.

"No, it's nothing." Chen Ou looked away, thinking that Nice never forgot anything, and he didn't know that he had dolphin genes.

No one can accept that they have directly inherited the genes of the beast.Chen Ou hopes that he will never know for the rest of his life.Let him think that the superior memory comes from the professor and his own excellent inheritance.Chen Ou never wanted to see the shocked and painful Nice again.

Ness said: "The ship will anchor near Moonlight Island after daybreak. I'll go to the island to see if Jessica has left any clues. George stays on the ship to protect you. Also, there are not many opportunities for the ship to stop halfway, I guess If Maer wants to connect with others, Moonlight Island will be a good place."

Chen Ou said: "You take George with you, I don't need other people's protection. No one will deal with a blind scientist."

"But this blind scientist is the most important person in the world, no matter what.
