Chapter 55 Bing Xin in the Jade Pot
"My dad?!" Xia Jianjing's eyes widened in surprise. He shook Gu Xinghai's shoulders back and forth, and asked anxiously, "Really? Don't lie to me! My dad is an ordinary university professor." , live in the school house, drive a 10,000+ broken car, why is he following my dad, what is he trying to do?"
Gu Xinghai took another two breaths, put his shoulders on Xia Jianjing's shoulders, and slowly stood up straight.
"That's right." Gu Xinghai said, "I can't figure it out either, but I'm sure that he is following your father."
"Don't stick it here, you're freezing to death." Xia Jianjing frowned, and gradually calmed down, he dragged Gu Xinghai into the alley and found a corner sheltered from the wind.
Xia Jianjing asked again: "What's going on? Didn't you say that no one was following you when you were at the airport?"
Gu Xinghai put his hat on, and hid his whole face in the shadows. He said, "At first I thought it was Gu Lingcheng, my father, the person he was looking for. After all, he has a criminal record, so he didn't find someone to arrest me once or twice. I tied him up and went home. But after I thought about it later, I thought it was wrong. This person is not professional at all, let alone treat me, I guess even you can’t handle it. So after you left with Lu Zai, I went to follow him instead. took him some way."
Xia Jianjing stomped his feet in the cold, rubbed his ears, and asked, "And then? How can you be sure that he is following Lao Xia?"
"I'm not talking about him. He probably never followed anyone before, and he didn't even have the slightest sense of crisis." Gu Xinghai was quite proud. He snorted coldly and said, "I followed him back to the airport. First went to pick up the luggage, then took a taxi and left. It seems that his flight should have landed behind us, and following us is purely to catch up, on a whim, not for you or me at all."
Gu Xinghai spoke in a calm tone, as if this person's food was not worthy of his attention, he continued: "I didn't take it seriously at first, and went back to school directly. The small shop in our attached middle school is not closed on weekends. Open the door, I was so hungry and too lazy to go out, so I wanted to go to J University to get some food. I didn’t expect to see this man there again. Your dad was driving to get out of school, and he sneaked by and stared at you. Watching it, I immediately felt something was wrong."
"Wait a minute!" Xia Jianjing stretched out his hand to stop Gu Xinghai. He shook his head and said puzzledly, "Did you see Lao Xia on the campus of the attached high school? Impossible. The reason why he sent me here is because He was going back to the headquarters to do a project, and he said he was very busy, making it look like it was completely closed, and he shouldn't have appeared there."
Hearing what Xia Jianjing said, Gu Xinghai was also a little puzzled. He thought for a while and said, "But the truth is like this. That person has been following your dad all along, from school to here."
"Follow me?" Xia Jianjing pointed to the deep and quiet academy gate behind him in disbelief, "Follow here?!"
"Yes." Gu Xinghai nodded, and said, "So I followed all the way. Your dad is quite a driver. I followed that rookie into two taxis and almost lost them. It has made an outstanding contribution to the city's GDP."
Gu Xinghai was actually having a miserable day today. He felt uncomfortable, as if someone had been soaked in high-strength lemonade.
And misfortunes never come singly. There was a problem with his mobile phone payment, and he didn’t have any change with him. The taxi he took was almost at his destination, so he couldn’t pay. He was forced by the driver to change the change.
Gu Xinghai was afraid of being lost, and even more afraid of being discovered, so he randomly found a small street stall, reached out and grabbed something, so he put it in his pocket and asked for change.
Xia Jianjing lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. He thought for a while, then raised his head to look at Gu Xinghai, and asked, "Is that person still following my dad?"
"I didn't follow. He's not a professional. He probably wanted to find out about your dad's travel route. After following here, he took a taxi and left." Gu Xinghai said, "I plan to talk to you at school tomorrow, no Thinking of me looking for a place to have a meal, I saw you father and son here saying goodbye."
Xia Jianjing thought for a while and said, "But I'm still worried, I want to see Lao Xia."
"Now? Let's go. Just call your dad to remind him." Gu Xinghai didn't agree, and he persuaded: "I don't think you need to worry about such a rookie. Besides, your dad is just a college teacher. It's not Breaking Bad who licks blood with a knife, how can it be so serious?"
"No." Xia Jianjing shook his head and insisted, "I have to go and see Lao Xia."
"That's fine." Gu Xinghai stood up straight, putting his hands in his pockets, "I just happen to be going back to school, and we'll go all the way."
Xia Jianjing and Gu Xinghai stopped the car at the side of the road, Xia Jianjing couldn't laugh all the way, his brows kept frowning, as if he had been suddenly grown into an adult by a seedling.
Xia Jianjing didn't react until he entered the gate of the attached middle school, and he turned around and smiled at Gu Xinghai.
He said, "Gu Xinghai, thank you."
"Thank you for what. If I'm not covering you, who am I covering, can I still make you call Xiaobei brother for nothing?!" Gu Xinghai waved his hand indifferently, "Stop nagging, let's go, let's get down to business .”
"Gu Xinghai." Xia Jianjing didn't move, he grabbed Gu Xinghai and said, "You're still sick, don't worry about it, go back to the dormitory and lie down, I'll do it myself."
Gu Xinghai frowned, but Xia Jianjing's attitude was very firm, almost blocking him.
Gu Xinghai sighed, and decided to respect Xia Jianjing's decision, he said, "Go ahead, be careful yourself."
Gu Xinghai didn't drag his feet. After saying that, he turned around and left.As he walked, he reached for the key in his pocket, but before he could take out the key, he touched a small ball instead.
Gu Xinghai took it out and took a look, only to find that he bought a small pink key chain for change.
The painting style of the key chain is very abstract, and it is impossible to tell whether it is a pig or a dog.
"Hey, Jingzi!" Gu Xinghai called Xia Jianjing to stop, and threw the key chain to him, "Here, take it with you."
"What is this?" Xia Jianjing squeezed it in his hand and looked it over. He thought that what Gu Xinghai gave him at this juncture should be something useful, so he guessed: "Bug? Tracker? Or A tiny camera?"
Gu Xinghai didn't appreciate these things, and the indirect reason why he would buy them was to help Xia Jianjing.He himself just wanted to "return the property to its original owner", but Xia Jianjing didn't expect Xia Jianjing to take it seriously, which made him very embarrassed.
"Eh..." Gu Xinghai licked his lips with a smile, and said brazenly, "Take the amulet with you for safety, I won't cheat you."
Xia Jianjing was quite touched, he sniffed, tightened his grip on the small key chain, and said, "Thank you, Brother Xiao Bei!"
Xia Jianjing walked down the stairs of Xia Ping's laboratory familiarly. Xia Ping's laboratory was very far away. It was at the most northwest corner of the J University campus. In front of it was a small hill that was undergoing greening. Except for exciting young couples, basically there will be no unrelated idlers haunting here.
Xia Jianjing saw Xia Ping's car from the side of the building. He looked up and saw that the windows on the east side of the third floor were all lit.
Sure enough, what Gu Xinghai said was right, Xia Jianjing pursed his lips and thought, Xia Ping is here.
Xia Jianjing's heartbeat quickened inexplicably, and he grabbed the small key chain in his palm to embolden himself.
Xia Jianjing took a deep breath, he pushed open the door, walked straight up to the third floor without stopping.
But as soon as he stepped on the last step, a familiar voice came from the east side of the corridor - it was Xia Ping's, plain but with a hint of mockery.
The walls of the laboratories on this floor near the corridors are partitioned by glass, and the laboratories cannot see each other, but the laboratories and the corridors are completely transparent.
Xia Jianjing shuddered suddenly, and immediately hid sideways.He held his breath, poked his ears out a little, and carefully eavesdropped.
There should be another person beside Xia Ping. At the beginning, he only responded to Xia Ping's words with a sneer. It was not until Xia Ping was about to see off the guests that he was finally willing to speak.
As soon as the man opened his mouth, Xia Jianjing's heart skipped a beat. He also recognized the voice, it was Lin Qianqiu!
Lin Qianqiu said: "Xia Ping, you have been missing for so long, so you just went to compile data."
Lin Qianqiu's voice made people feel cold, Xia Jianjing clenched his fists unconsciously as he pressed against the wall of the corridor.He was panting heavily, almost breaking the roots of his teeth. He didn't expect Brother Xiao Lin, who usually comes and goes from teacher to teacher, to call Xia Ping's name in such a tone behind his back.
Xia Jianjing opened his mouth slightly, breathed calmly, and continued to listen to the conversation between Xia Ping and Lin Qianqiu.
Xia Ping didn't care about Lin Qianqiu's transgression at all. He threw a stack of documents in front of Lin Qianqiu, smiled lightly, and said, "Why are you compiling the data? This is the original data of the 'Chaoyang Ji', and all the experimental details are here. record."
Lin Qianqiu picked up the file and flipped through it, his face darkened as he flipped through it.When he turned to the last page, he closed the folder with a "snap", pointed at Xia Ping with one hand, his finger was shaking, and his voice was also shaking.
"You, you, you..." Lin Qianqiu held his glasses and tried to force himself to calm down, "Xia Ping, you actually spent four months re-doing the core experiment?!"
"Yes." Xia Ping raised his eyebrows and smiled, he leaned back relaxedly, his eyes were still clear and firm even though his cheeks were sunken, and he said: "Lin Qianqiu, the data is all true, but it's not what you want of."
"Xia Ping!" Lin Qianqiu took a step forward and angrily punched the experimental table beside him, shaking the glassware on the table.
Lin Qianqiu grabbed Xia Ping's collar and shouted sharply: "Your experimental materials are not right. If it is so easy, why do we go to Galengeti to stay for four or five years? Just a little research will know that you are not at all. The data of 'Chaoyang Ji'. Xia Ping, you are academic fraud!"
Xia Ping brushed Lin Qianqiu's hand away, he raised his head, and looked at the furious Lin Qianqiu indifferently, his eyes were so disdainful as if he was looking at a clown who was trying to please the public.
Xia Ping said: "I've thought about it a long time ago. Isn't it just academic fraud? I can still bear this stigma, so just come."
"Xia Ping, what kind of saint are you pretending to be?" Lin Qianqiu was so angry that his eyes were tearing apart.
"Don't think of me too great, I did this for myself." Xia Ping stretched out his hand and stroked his hair back, and he said slowly: "In my whole life, I have studied things poorly, and I have no regrets in my heart."
"Oh." Lin Qianqiu sneered, and he threatened: "Think it over, this is the 'Chaoyang Ji', the biggest global experiment that China participated in in the 90s, if you fake it, it's not just the school giving It's a punishment, you don't want your professorship anymore? There are huge experimental funds, do you want to go to jail?"
"It's impossible to stay in prison. I don't have any experimental funds in my pocket. If I really want to check the funds, I'm afraid it's you guys who need to worry." Xia Ping raised his chin proudly, and he confronted Lin Qianqiu. He stared at him and laughed mockingly, "Professor title? I'm not you, Lin Qianqiu. I've never cared about these extraneous things."
"Not rare?!" Lin Qianqiu laughed exaggeratedly, he shook his head, feeling that Xia Ping was really corrupt and hopeless, he sneered: "Then Mr. Xia, let's wait and see, when your reputation is ruined One day, I will see if you are rare!"
Lin Qianqiu kicked over the trash can at the door, he slammed the door angrily, and walked away.
Just as Lin Qianqiu reached the entrance of the corridor, he was blocked by a figure flashing out of the dark.
The anger on his face hadn't dissipated, and his ferocious face didn't match the suit and leather shoes on him at all.He raised his eyes, and after seeing the boy's face clearly, he took a step back unconsciously.
Xia Jianjing has grown a lot this year, and is half a head taller than Lin Qianqiu.
He was covered with the chill of the night, his eyes were lowered, and the anger in his eyes was also cold.
Xia Jianjing spat, he hadn't cultivated Xia Ping's composure yet, and when he opened his mouth, he looked like a young man annoyed, and he scolded: "Damn! Lin Qianqiu, don't call my dad teacher anymore, it's really insulting my dad Others will think that my father, a professor who is just as famous as you, actually treats a chordate subspecies of reptiles as a human being."
In the animal kingdom, chordates, phylum reptiles, turtles, turtles, hydrochards, genus soft-shelled turtles, a subspecies of soft-shelled turtles, commonly known as bastards, Xia Jianjing is turning a corner and scolding Lin Qianqiu for being a bastard.
"What are you talking about!" Lin Qianqiu was angry with Xia Ping just now, and now he was blocked by Xia Jianjing and scolded in the corridor. He couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and raised his hand to push Xia Jianjing.
Xia Jianjing's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he turned to the side alertly, but Lin Qianqiu used too much force, staggered and almost fell down the stairs.
Lin Qianqiu leaned on the railing and barely stood still. He sneered and counterattacked: "It doesn't matter if he doesn't like me, and I don't like him either. No one wants to call your dad a teacher anymore. Where is your dad's name?" Students, there are only two or three of them, and your father forced them to transfer to someone else before graduation. You can ask, the graduate school is full of complaints, scolding and all kinds of things."
"You talk nonsense!" Xia Jianjing was irritated by Lin Qianqiu. He stepped forward and grabbed Lin Qianqiu's collar, and stuck him on the handrail with his elbow, "Lin Qianqiu! You are talking nonsense!"
"It seems that you guys surnamed Xia are quite tough, and you are so reasonable when you die." Lin Qianqiu said, "Then you and Xia Ping wait together, and now you will be scolded by those graduate students in Xia Pingkeng , When the academic falsification comes out, everyone will be beaten up, not as good as pigs and dogs."
Xia Jianjing was a little dazed, and his subordinates involuntarily relaxed.
Lin Qianqiu didn't want to get entangled with a child like him, so he broke away from Xia Jianjing, straightened his crumpled clothes, and went downstairs.
Xia Jianjing stood alone at the entrance of the corridor, his mind was in a mess, the voice control light above his head had been off for a long time, but he still didn't have enough courage to go in and see Xia Ping.
Xia Ping sat alone in the laboratory, leaning his elbows on the test bench, pinching the bridge of his nose wearily.
After he handed over all the students and courses in his hands, he locked himself in the laboratory of the headquarters and had been overworked for more than four months.
Until this morning, he finally got all the experimental data and reports out, but he could barely hold on for a while. The problem with the data was too big. People like Lin Qianqiu who had participated in the "Chaoyang Ji" could tell something was wrong at a glance Son.
Since he received the anonymous email at the beginning of the year, he seemed to have stepped on the Titanic invisibly, heading for the sinking without returning.
In the past ten months, he has been in touch with the person who sent the email, which is his classmate Jac at MIT. Jac is the person in charge of the "Chaoyang Ji" data processing team, and the first person the Rong Group contacted privately.
The "Chaoyang Ji" is actually not perfect. Currently, only the first phase of the plan has been carried out. Xia Ping and the others are the pioneers, but they can only be the pioneers. The research on the entire ecology and species restoration requires the efforts and dedication of many generations.
But just this small immature result, some people have already seen business opportunities from it.
Jac secretly sent Xia Ping a cryptic anonymous email, asking Xia Ping to stick to his heart and protect the data.
It is impossible for scientific research to override human morality and natural laws at any time. This is the responsibility and lifelong pursuit of scientific researchers.
Xia Ping does not regret any of his decisions. He has never let down his mentor, colleagues, research, or himself along the way.Scientific research has opened the door to a new world for him, and now it is his turn to light a torch for that magnificent world.
Xia Ping stood up, carefully tidied up the utensils knocked down by Lin Qianqiu on the laboratory bench, he coded the files, and turned off the computer again.
When he was about to turn off the light and lock it to leave, he seemed to think of something, walked over again, and sat down at the table he was familiar with.
Xia Ping opened the drawer, and his experimental notes and some inspiration records were neatly placed inside.He opened one of them, turned to the last page, and took a pen from his breast pocket.
Xia Ping's pen is smooth, and the pen tip makes a reassuring scratching sound on the paper.
He wrote--relatives and friends in Luoyang are asking each other, and a heart of ice is in the jade pot.
Xia Ping sighed, closed the book, and walked out the door firmly.
He stood at the door, turning his head.The laboratory was shrouded in darkness, so he couldn't really see it clearly, but he slowly looked at every inch of space here.
He doesn't care about it, he doesn't miss it, he doesn't regret it, and he doesn't feel ashamed, but a layer of tears still slowly floats in his eyes, as if all his firmness is a lie.
Xia Ping raised his hand to wipe his face, he turned around, and walked away without hesitation.
He walked to the corridor, clapped his hands vigorously, and the moment the voice control light came on, he accidentally kicked a group of... people sitting on the stairs?
Xia Ping didn't wear glasses, he squinted slightly to see, but blinked in surprise, a little unbelievable.
Xia Ping exclaimed: "Son? Why are you here?!"
Xia Jianjing stood up slowly, the young man's face was gloomy, and his whole body was listless, not very good.
Xia Jianjing sniffed and his voice was muffled. He whispered, "Old Xia, I came four or ten minutes ago, and I heard everything."
Xia Ping's pupils shrank in an instant, he sighed, and raised his hand to press Xia Jianjing's shoulder.
Xia Ping shook his head, his tone was low and soft, he said: "Son, the situation is not as bad as you think."
Xia Jianjing lowered his head and didn't want to listen, so he jumped forward and hugged Xia Ping all at once.
He was already taller than Xia Ping. At this moment, he was bent over and hunched over, arching into Xia Ping's arms like a big dog who didn't know his weight, which seemed a little funny.
Xia Ping laughed, rubbed his chin against the top of Xia Jianjing's head, and whispered: "Don't worry, your dad can do it!"
"You can be a puppy!" Xia Jianjing couldn't help but talk back to Xia Ping, and whispered: "You are about to lose your job, and you will be splashed with dirty water and scolded by others. It's also very uncomfortable, so stop pretending!"
"It's hard to be sure. After all, I'm also a human being," Xia Ping said. "I also hope to give my little whale the best life. I can live in a big house and drive a big car."
"What does it have to do with me?" Xia Jianjing grumbled, "I just like small houses, and I just like small broken cars."
Xia Ping smiled and said: "Not bad, I have learned a lot during this time!"
Xia Jianjing sniffed, he stood up straight, and looked at Xia Ping seriously, "Old Xia, I'm serious, tell me what I can do, I want to help you."
"Then you are an afterthought, your father has already finished the game perfectly." Xia Ping said with a smile.
Xia Jianjing didn't believe it, he shook his head and asked, "What about the real data, what are you going to do with it?"
Xia Ping was stunned for a moment, he looked away, and said bluntly: "I will find a way to send it to the place where it should be."
Xia Jianjing said, "Why don't you let me come? I can do it!"
"Xia Jianjing, it's easy for Dad to tell you now, but this matter is not so simple." Xia Ping became serious, "I know you can, but I don't want you to waste your time here. I used to tell you , don’t do research, because every subject is terrible, once you walk in, you will be completely attracted, and you don’t want to go back. Since you are standing at the door and have pushed the door of physics, then Just keep going, don't miss it."
Xia Jianjing looked at Xia Ping, as if he had returned to his childhood in an instant, Xia Ping told him about the universe, about the deep sea, about the desert, about the grassland, about the magnificence of this world, and about the causes of clouds and mist.
Xia Ping gave him the initial worldview, and at the same time taught him responsibility at this moment.
"Don't worry about your competition, Dad is waiting for you to wear the red flag." Xia Ping said, "But son, if you want to transfer you back to the United States to go to school, can you accept it?"
Xia Jianjing blinked his eyes and couldn't believe it.He looked at Xia Ping and swallowed hard.
Xia Jianjing asked: "Go to America to go to school? University?"
Xia Ping was about to shake his head and said, "High school."
Xia Ping sent Xia Jianjing back to Qin Hongyang's house. Seeing that the child was not there, the old couple refused to answer the phone call. They were so anxious that they stood by the door and waited eagerly.
Xia Ping exchanged pleasantries with Rui Su and Qin Hongyang, but turned around and left without even entering the door.
Xia Jianjing felt embarrassed, he kept apologizing to Rui Su, but his heart was blocked, he turned his head and looked around, but still couldn't find Lu Zai.
Xia Jianjing asked Rui Su: "Grandma, where is Lu Zai?"
Rui Su said "Oops", patted her thigh, and said, "Lu Zai went to look for you outside, he should be waiting at the alley. Old man, go and call Lu Zai back."
"Hey, Grandpa Qin, let me go!" Xia Jianjing stopped Qin Hongyang with a loud voice, and without saying much, he turned his head and ran outside.
Today, Xia Ping sent him back to the other side. He had never seen Lu Zai all the way. He thought about it, changed the direction, and ran towards the road that he and Lu Zai had to go to school every day.
As expected, Lu Zai was standing at the entrance of the alley, the moonlight shone on him, and a layer of frost floated on him.He stood like an ice sculpture, with no warmth on his body, nor on his face.
Xia Jianjing ran over, rubbed his hands, and held Lu Zai's face in his warm palms.
Xia Jianjing called him softly: "Brother Lu."
Lu Zai raised his eyes, but smiled slowly.He was obviously terribly cold, but it seemed that all the cold air had dissipated the moment he saw Xia Jianjing.
"Puppy Xia," Lu Zai whispered, "you are finally back."
The author has something to say:
"Family and relatives in Luoyang are like asking each other, a piece of ice is in the jade pot." ——Wang Changling in Sending Xinjian off in Furonglou.
"Gewuqiongli"-these four words were mentioned by Zhu Xi.
I made up the rest.
Gu Xinghai took another two breaths, put his shoulders on Xia Jianjing's shoulders, and slowly stood up straight.
"That's right." Gu Xinghai said, "I can't figure it out either, but I'm sure that he is following your father."
"Don't stick it here, you're freezing to death." Xia Jianjing frowned, and gradually calmed down, he dragged Gu Xinghai into the alley and found a corner sheltered from the wind.
Xia Jianjing asked again: "What's going on? Didn't you say that no one was following you when you were at the airport?"

Lin Qianqiu said: "Xia Ping, you have been missing for so long, so you just went to compile data."
Lin Qianqiu's voice made people feel cold, Xia Jianjing clenched his fists unconsciously as he pressed against the wall of the corridor.He was panting heavily, almost breaking the roots of his teeth. He didn't expect Brother Xiao Lin, who usually comes and goes from teacher to teacher, to call Xia Ping's name in such a tone behind his back.
Xia Jianjing opened his mouth slightly, breathed calmly, and continued to listen to the conversation between Xia Ping and Lin Qianqiu.
Xia Ping didn't care about Lin Qianqiu's transgression at all. He threw a stack of documents in front of Lin Qianqiu, smiled lightly, and said, "Why are you compiling the data? This is the original data of the 'Chaoyang Ji', and all the experimental details are here. record."
Lin Qianqiu picked up the file and flipped through it, his face darkened as he flipped through it.When he turned to the last page, he closed the folder with a "snap", pointed at Xia Ping with one hand, his finger was shaking, and his voice was also shaking.
"You, you, you..." Lin Qianqiu held his glasses and tried to force himself to calm down, "Xia Ping, you actually spent four months re-doing the core experiment?!"
"Yes." Xia Ping raised his eyebrows and smiled, he leaned back relaxedly, his eyes were still clear and firm even though his cheeks were sunken, and he said: "Lin Qianqiu, the data is all true, but it's not what you want of."
"Xia Ping!" Lin Qianqiu took a step forward and angrily punched the experimental table beside him, shaking the glassware on the table.
Lin Qianqiu grabbed Xia Ping's collar and shouted sharply: "Your experimental materials are not right. If it is so easy, why do we go to Galengeti to stay for four or five years? Just a little research will know that you are not at all. The data of 'Chaoyang Ji'. Xia Ping, you are academic fraud!"
Xia Ping brushed Lin Qianqiu's hand away, he raised his head, and looked at the furious Lin Qianqiu indifferently, his eyes were so disdainful as if he was looking at a clown who was trying to please the public.
Xia Ping said: "I've thought about it a long time ago. Isn't it just academic fraud? I can still bear this stigma, so just come."
"Xia Ping, what kind of saint are you pretending to be?" Lin Qianqiu was so angry that his eyes were tearing apart.
"Don't think of me too great, I did this for myself." Xia Ping stretched out his hand and stroked his hair back, and he said slowly: "In my whole life, I have studied things poorly, and I have no regrets in my heart."
"Oh." Lin Qianqiu sneered, and he threatened: "Think it over, this is the 'Chaoyang Ji', the biggest global experiment that China participated in in the 90s, if you fake it, it's not just the school giving It's a punishment, you don't want your professorship anymore? There are huge experimental funds, do you want to go to jail?"
"It's impossible to stay in prison. I don't have any experimental funds in my pocket. If I really want to check the funds, I'm afraid it's you guys who need to worry." Xia Ping raised his chin proudly, and he confronted Lin Qianqiu. He stared at him and laughed mockingly, "Professor title? I'm not you, Lin Qianqiu. I've never cared about these extraneous things."
"Not rare?!" Lin Qianqiu laughed exaggeratedly, he shook his head, feeling that Xia Ping was really corrupt and hopeless, he sneered: "Then Mr. Xia, let's wait and see, when your reputation is ruined One day, I will see if you are rare!"
Lin Qianqiu kicked over the trash can at the door, he slammed the door angrily, and walked away.
Just as Lin Qianqiu reached the entrance of the corridor, he was blocked by a figure flashing out of the dark.
The anger on his face hadn't dissipated, and his ferocious face didn't match the suit and leather shoes on him at all.He raised his eyes, and after seeing the boy's face clearly, he took a step back unconsciously.
Xia Jianjing has grown a lot this year, and is half a head taller than Lin Qianqiu.
He was covered with the chill of the night, his eyes were lowered, and the anger in his eyes was also cold.
Xia Jianjing spat, he hadn't cultivated Xia Ping's composure yet, and when he opened his mouth, he looked like a young man annoyed, and he scolded: "Damn! Lin Qianqiu, don't call my dad teacher anymore, it's really insulting my dad Others will think that my father, a professor who is just as famous as you, actually treats a chordate subspecies of reptiles as a human being."
In the animal kingdom, chordates, phylum reptiles, turtles, turtles, hydrochards, genus soft-shelled turtles, a subspecies of soft-shelled turtles, commonly known as bastards, Xia Jianjing is turning a corner and scolding Lin Qianqiu for being a bastard.
"What are you talking about!" Lin Qianqiu was angry with Xia Ping just now, and now he was blocked by Xia Jianjing and scolded in the corridor. He couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and raised his hand to push Xia Jianjing.
Xia Jianjing's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he turned to the side alertly, but Lin Qianqiu used too much force, staggered and almost fell down the stairs.
Lin Qianqiu leaned on the railing and barely stood still. He sneered and counterattacked: "It doesn't matter if he doesn't like me, and I don't like him either. No one wants to call your dad a teacher anymore. Where is your dad's name?" Students, there are only two or three of them, and your father forced them to transfer to someone else before graduation. You can ask, the graduate school is full of complaints, scolding and all kinds of things."
"You talk nonsense!" Xia Jianjing was irritated by Lin Qianqiu. He stepped forward and grabbed Lin Qianqiu's collar, and stuck him on the handrail with his elbow, "Lin Qianqiu! You are talking nonsense!"
"It seems that you guys surnamed Xia are quite tough, and you are so reasonable when you die." Lin Qianqiu said, "Then you and Xia Ping wait together, and now you will be scolded by those graduate students in Xia Pingkeng , When the academic falsification comes out, everyone will be beaten up, not as good as pigs and dogs."
Xia Jianjing was a little dazed, and his subordinates involuntarily relaxed.
Lin Qianqiu didn't want to get entangled with a child like him, so he broke away from Xia Jianjing, straightened his crumpled clothes, and went downstairs.
Xia Jianjing stood alone at the entrance of the corridor, his mind was in a mess, the voice control light above his head had been off for a long time, but he still didn't have enough courage to go in and see Xia Ping.
Xia Ping sat alone in the laboratory, leaning his elbows on the test bench, pinching the bridge of his nose wearily.
After he handed over all the students and courses in his hands, he locked himself in the laboratory of the headquarters and had been overworked for more than four months.
Until this morning, he finally got all the experimental data and reports out, but he could barely hold on for a while. The problem with the data was too big. People like Lin Qianqiu who had participated in the "Chaoyang Ji" could tell something was wrong at a glance Son.
Since he received the anonymous email at the beginning of the year, he seemed to have stepped on the Titanic invisibly, heading for the sinking without returning.
In the past ten months, he has been in touch with the person who sent the email, which is his classmate Jac at MIT. Jac is the person in charge of the "Chaoyang Ji" data processing team, and the first person the Rong Group contacted privately.
The "Chaoyang Ji" is actually not perfect. Currently, only the first phase of the plan has been carried out. Xia Ping and the others are the pioneers, but they can only be the pioneers. The research on the entire ecology and species restoration requires the efforts and dedication of many generations.
But just this small immature result, some people have already seen business opportunities from it.
Jac secretly sent Xia Ping a cryptic anonymous email, asking Xia Ping to stick to his heart and protect the data.
It is impossible for scientific research to override human morality and natural laws at any time. This is the responsibility and lifelong pursuit of scientific researchers.
Xia Ping does not regret any of his decisions. He has never let down his mentor, colleagues, research, or himself along the way.Scientific research has opened the door to a new world for him, and now it is his turn to light a torch for that magnificent world.
Xia Ping stood up, carefully tidied up the utensils knocked down by Lin Qianqiu on the laboratory bench, he coded the files, and turned off the computer again.
When he was about to turn off the light and lock it to leave, he seemed to think of something, walked over again, and sat down at the table he was familiar with.
Xia Ping opened the drawer, and his experimental notes and some inspiration records were neatly placed inside.He opened one of them, turned to the last page, and took a pen from his breast pocket.
Xia Ping's pen is smooth, and the pen tip makes a reassuring scratching sound on the paper.
He wrote--relatives and friends in Luoyang are asking each other, and a heart of ice is in the jade pot.
Xia Ping sighed, closed the book, and walked out the door firmly.
He stood at the door, turning his head.The laboratory was shrouded in darkness, so he couldn't really see it clearly, but he slowly looked at every inch of space here.
He doesn't care about it, he doesn't miss it, he doesn't regret it, and he doesn't feel ashamed, but a layer of tears still slowly floats in his eyes, as if all his firmness is a lie.
Xia Ping raised his hand to wipe his face, he turned around, and walked away without hesitation.
He walked to the corridor, clapped his hands vigorously, and the moment the voice control light came on, he accidentally kicked a group of... people sitting on the stairs?
Xia Ping didn't wear glasses, he squinted slightly to see, but blinked in surprise, a little unbelievable.
Xia Ping exclaimed: "Son? Why are you here?!"
Xia Jianjing stood up slowly, the young man's face was gloomy, and his whole body was listless, not very good.
Xia Jianjing sniffed and his voice was muffled. He whispered, "Old Xia, I came four or ten minutes ago, and I heard everything."
Xia Ping's pupils shrank in an instant, he sighed, and raised his hand to press Xia Jianjing's shoulder.
Xia Ping shook his head, his tone was low and soft, he said: "Son, the situation is not as bad as you think."
Xia Jianjing lowered his head and didn't want to listen, so he jumped forward and hugged Xia Ping all at once.
He was already taller than Xia Ping. At this moment, he was bent over and hunched over, arching into Xia Ping's arms like a big dog who didn't know his weight, which seemed a little funny.
Xia Ping laughed, rubbed his chin against the top of Xia Jianjing's head, and whispered: "Don't worry, your dad can do it!"
"You can be a puppy!" Xia Jianjing couldn't help but talk back to Xia Ping, and whispered: "You are about to lose your job, and you will be splashed with dirty water and scolded by others. It's also very uncomfortable, so stop pretending!"
"It's hard to be sure. After all, I'm also a human being," Xia Ping said. "I also hope to give my little whale the best life. I can live in a big house and drive a big car."
"What does it have to do with me?" Xia Jianjing grumbled, "I just like small houses, and I just like small broken cars."
Xia Ping smiled and said: "Not bad, I have learned a lot during this time!"
Xia Jianjing sniffed, he stood up straight, and looked at Xia Ping seriously, "Old Xia, I'm serious, tell me what I can do, I want to help you."
"Then you are an afterthought, your father has already finished the game perfectly." Xia Ping said with a smile.
Xia Jianjing didn't believe it, he shook his head and asked, "What about the real data, what are you going to do with it?"
Xia Ping was stunned for a moment, he looked away, and said bluntly: "I will find a way to send it to the place where it should be."
Xia Jianjing said, "Why don't you let me come? I can do it!"
"Xia Jianjing, it's easy for Dad to tell you now, but this matter is not so simple." Xia Ping became serious, "I know you can, but I don't want you to waste your time here. I used to tell you , don’t do research, because every subject is terrible, once you walk in, you will be completely attracted, and you don’t want to go back. Since you are standing at the door and have pushed the door of physics, then Just keep going, don't miss it."
Xia Jianjing looked at Xia Ping, as if he had returned to his childhood in an instant, Xia Ping told him about the universe, about the deep sea, about the desert, about the grassland, about the magnificence of this world, and about the causes of clouds and mist.
Xia Ping gave him the initial worldview, and at the same time taught him responsibility at this moment.
"Don't worry about your competition, Dad is waiting for you to wear the red flag." Xia Ping said, "But son, if you want to transfer you back to the United States to go to school, can you accept it?"
Xia Jianjing blinked his eyes and couldn't believe it.He looked at Xia Ping and swallowed hard.
Xia Jianjing asked: "Go to America to go to school? University?"
Xia Ping was about to shake his head and said, "High school."
Xia Ping sent Xia Jianjing back to Qin Hongyang's house. Seeing that the child was not there, the old couple refused to answer the phone call. They were so anxious that they stood by the door and waited eagerly.
Xia Ping exchanged pleasantries with Rui Su and Qin Hongyang, but turned around and left without even entering the door.
Xia Jianjing felt embarrassed, he kept apologizing to Rui Su, but his heart was blocked, he turned his head and looked around, but still couldn't find Lu Zai.
Xia Jianjing asked Rui Su: "Grandma, where is Lu Zai?"
Rui Su said "Oops", patted her thigh, and said, "Lu Zai went to look for you outside, he should be waiting at the alley. Old man, go and call Lu Zai back."
"Hey, Grandpa Qin, let me go!" Xia Jianjing stopped Qin Hongyang with a loud voice, and without saying much, he turned his head and ran outside.
Today, Xia Ping sent him back to the other side. He had never seen Lu Zai all the way. He thought about it, changed the direction, and ran towards the road that he and Lu Zai had to go to school every day.
As expected, Lu Zai was standing at the entrance of the alley, the moonlight shone on him, and a layer of frost floated on him.He stood like an ice sculpture, with no warmth on his body, nor on his face.
Xia Jianjing ran over, rubbed his hands, and held Lu Zai's face in his warm palms.
Xia Jianjing called him softly: "Brother Lu."
Lu Zai raised his eyes, but smiled slowly.He was obviously terribly cold, but it seemed that all the cold air had dissipated the moment he saw Xia Jianjing.
"Puppy Xia," Lu Zai whispered, "you are finally back."
The author has something to say:
"Family and relatives in Luoyang are like asking each other, a piece of ice is in the jade pot." ——Wang Changling in Sending Xinjian off in Furonglou.
"Gewuqiongli"-these four words were mentioned by Zhu Xi.
I made up the rest.
