Under the night sky, Gu Linglong sat alone on the patio, looking up at the stars in the sky, feeling like a dream.
Does joining the Secret Service really have nothing to do with Xu Siqi?
The answer seems self-evident.
Gu Linglong was not too surprised by Xu Siqi's status in the Secret Service. It was a normal thing for a Chinese with national righteousness to choose to serve his country.
There were footsteps behind him, and Xu Siqi walked over.
"You're back." Gu Linglong didn't move at all, still looking at the sky.
Xu Siqi smiled and said, "How did you know it was me?"
"I can hear your footsteps."
“…”
If you like someone, you will naturally pay attention to his every move.
Even if it's just the sound of footsteps.
Xu Siqi certainly understands this truth.
"Linglong, go to bed early. Boss Dai said that at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, he will send a car to take us to Hong Gong Temple."
"I drank too much tea and couldn't sleep."
"That……"
"You can rest, I'll stay for a while."
Xu Siqi hesitated for a moment, then sat on the steps with Gu Linglong, followed her gaze to the sky, and said, "What are you looking at?"
Gu Linglong was silent for a while, and said quietly: "Altair is far away, and the beautiful river is a beautiful woman. With her slender hands, she is working on the machine. She is in vain all day long, and her tears are as cold as rain. The river is clear and shallow, and it is full and full after it fades away.
For a moment, I couldn't express my pulse."
Xu Siqi smiled and said: "The story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl."
"Yeah. I heard someone say that the brightest star in the sky is actually the incarnation of the Weaver Girl..."
"It's just a myth and legend."
"It is not only a myth and legend, but also represents a spirit of resistance."
"That's right, the Weaver Girl is fighting against the injustice of God."
"wrong."
"ah?"
"Weaver Girl is fighting for her love."
"Sometimes, under certain conditions, fighting is meaningless..."
"How could it be meaningless?"
"Well, Linglong, it's really late. Go to bed early."
"I can't sleep." Gu Linglong pouted and said,
Xu Siqi said: "Believe me, not being able to sleep is just an illusion? Just touch the pillow? I guarantee you will fall asleep in ten minutes."
"Liar."
"People are like this. When they arrive in a strange environment, will they think more than usual? The more they think, the more excited they will be? Then the brain will send out wrong instructions, making people mistakenly think that they are more energetic. In fact? How is this possible?
After riding the train all day and working hard until midnight, my body needs to rest."
"Is that much?"
"This is what the German Hermann said, and it is said that it has been tested in practice."
"Herman? What does he do?"
"psychologist."
"Ten minutes? How is that possible?"
"Is this science? It's not witchcraft."
"Okay, then I'll give it a try..."
Back in the room, Gu Linglong was still in a state of doubt. Her body was really honest. She lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
…
early morning.
Xu Siqi finished washing up. Seeing that it was still early, he didn't go to call Gu Linglong, so he came to the front yard alone.
The attendant came forward and said, "The director is waiting for you in the restaurant."
Xu Siqi nodded and followed the waiter to the restaurant. Looking from a distance, Boss Dai and a young man were standing in front of the window talking in a low voice.
Xu Siqi took a few steps and said, "Virgo? Good morning."
Boss Dai smiled and nodded: "Good morning. How are you? Did you have a good rest last night?"
"It's okay." Xu Siqi replied.
The young man also turned around and looked Xu Siqi up and down.
Boss Dai said: "Let me introduce to you, Jiang Bin and Xu Siqi."
Xu Siqi took a step forward, stretched out his hand and shook Jiang Bin's hand.
"Hello."
"Hello."
Jiang Bin is a little on the thin side and has almost no describable features in appearance. He is the kind of person who would never be noticed if thrown into a crowd.
The two people's eyes met, but Xu Siqi felt a knife-like chill.
Immediately, the chill disappeared.
Opposite him was still an ordinary young man.
As soon as the restaurant door rang, Gu Linglong walked in quickly, greeted Boss Dai first, and then whispered to Xu Siqi: "Why didn't you call me?"
Boss Dai said: "The day's plan starts in the morning. Not only must you have a full breakfast, but you must also eat well and be strong so that you can protect your home and country."
Breakfast is very simple, consisting of porridge, steamed buns, and a few pickles.
During the meal, Jiang Bin suddenly said two words with strange pronunciation, and Boss Dai simply answered them.
Seeing that Xu Siqi and Gu Linglong looked confused, Boss Dai explained: "Oh, Jiang Bin is from Jiangshan, Zhejiang. He and I are from the same hometown. What we just spoke was our hometown dialect."
Then he turned to Jiang Bin and said, "We are all our own people here. We have nothing to hide. Just speak Mandarin."
"Yes." Jiang Bin said respectfully.
After breakfast, the attendant sent a letter. Boss Dai took the envelope, looked at it, handed it to Xu Siqi, and said: "The car for you is at the street corner, license plate number 2301. When we get to Hong Gong Temple, hand the letter over."
To Yu Lexing. This is a letter of introduction. Different from the past, this letter does not need to be archived. Tell Yu Lexing, and burn it after reading it."
"clear."
Xu Siqi put the letter into his arms.
Boss Dai looked at the three of them and said in a deep voice: "I wish you all success in your studies and make new contributions to the party and the country in the future!"
Xu Siqi and Jiang Bin put their feet together and gave a military salute in unison.
Coming out of Chicken Goose Alley, Jiang Bin lagged behind, as if he didn't want to walk with Gu Linglong and Xu Siqi.
There are people coming and going on the street, and it is indeed as Boss Dai said, most of the residents living near Jige Lane are the lowest-level people struggling with rice.
Gu Linglong turned around and took a look and said to Xu Si: "That person is so strange. Since everyone knows him, he doesn't come with us."
Xu Siqi said: "He doesn't want to attract attention."
"Why do you attract attention when you are with us?"
"Beautiful girls will always become the focus of the street."
"Am I pretty?"
"certainly."
"Then you're not afraid of attracting attention?"
"We already know each other. If we go separately, it will make people suspicious."
"Oh, that's how it is……"
After receiving Xu Siqi's praise, Gu Linglong felt sweet in her heart.
Seeing Gu Linglong's happy brows, Xu Siqi suddenly realized that what he just said would definitely misunderstand her, and he didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
After walking in silence for a while, Gu Linglong said softly: "Siqi, you haven't answered me yet, why don't you wake me up in the morning?"
"Let you sleep a little longer to avoid dozing off during class." Xu Siqi said half-jokingly.
Gu Linglong rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly: "People who doze off in class are always Qingcheng. I don't do that."
"Does Qingcheng doze off often?"
"Yeah. Fortunately, it's a missionary school, and teachers don't criticize students..."
After walking for ten minutes, the three of them arrived at the intersection. There was a black car parked on the side of the road with license plate number: 2301.
Xu Siqi got into the car first, followed immediately by Gu Linglong, and they both sat in the back seat of the car.
The passenger seat was empty, but Jiang Bin did not sit on it. Instead, he also sat in the back seat.
The car started and drove down the street.
Gu Linglong moved her body and whispered to Xu Siqi: "If he doesn't sit in front, he must not want others to notice..."
"You're right. As an agent, of course you have to be careful." Jiang Bin suddenly said.
Gu Linglong was startled. She didn't expect that the other party's hearing was so good.
