Section 3

Is it interesting? He still had a smile at the corner of his lips, "A slight burn, or a serious explosion."

Since there was still plenty of time, they found a nearby teahouse to rest. The place was nearly full. However, one of Zhou Shengchen's students was seated by the window on the second floor, as if he had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing them arrive, he stood up and called out: "Teacher Zhou Sheng, over here, over here."

The library in her mind is not very clear, yet it is related to him

"Come on, let's play a round of Double Rise," Hong Xiaoyu said cheerfully as he took out two boxes of playing cards, emptied them, and spread them all over the table. "Shi Yi doesn't know how to play cards, so it's just right for the four of us."

"Do you like reading books?" she suddenly asked

Hong Xiaoyu and Shi Yi have been neighbors since childhood, and he has long been accustomed to such situations. He glanced at Zhou Shengchen and then looked back at Shi Yi. It must be said that this person with the surname Zhou is indeed quite special, at least he did not lose his composure due to beauty

There are not often people there, and sometimes when the window is opened for ventilation, the wind blows through, causing the pages of the books on the shelf to be flipped over, making a rustling sound

The big boy, while speaking, personally went to serve tea, placing it in front of each person. At the appropriate moment, the big boy seemed a bit embarrassed, smiling shyly and saying, "I forgot to mention, my name is He Shan"

It is not that terrifying; I got used to it a long time ago. His words were simple, as if he were discussing something quite ordinary. When I first started in this field, there was a night when I remembered something I had left in the laboratory. I arrived there at six in the morning, and at that time, there was no one else present, yet I encountered an explosion. Half of the laboratory was blown up right in front of me. Fortunately, I had woken up five or six minutes late, which saved my life

Shiyi was truly taken aback: "High-risk profession? If that's the case, who would still be willing to enter the laboratory?"

However, the magazine in Shiyi's hands had not been flipped through more than three pages

She exclaimed, "It's quite easy to remember"

The cameraman spoke with great seriousness

Isn't it the case that one would be surrounded by ice all day, living in constant fear? What then is the purpose of conducting research?

"Treason? Is it that serious?" He sighed, "Is it worth risking death to escape?"

"Not really," he said, drawing a card and placing it on the wooden table. "I just can't figure out what else I can do besides research."

"Watching television? It's not that vulgar," Xiao Yu chuckled twice, "What do you usually watch the most?"

The cameraman fell silent

By evening, the number of people in the tea house gradually decreased

Hong Xiaoyu smacked his lips and said: "Teacher Zhou, please do not maintain such a sense of distance, let us discuss some common topics"

Some individuals who cannot endure the great famine in North Korea choose to escape to China or South Korea. In a certain sense, they belong to the category of stateless individuals without a homeland. Zhou Shengchen's voice was very steady, devoid of any superfluous emotion. If they are caught and returned to their home country, it would be considered treason.

It is precisely in this way that it creates a sense of distance for her. No matter how close they sit, it feels as if there is an invisible line separating them

At the right moment, she noticed her craving for cards and immediately cooperated by moving to the innermost part. In the end, Zhou Shengchen and the cameraman happened to sit next to her. She saw a book on the windowsill, casually picked it up to pass the time, and was unaware that it was a new magazine left behind by some tourist. She flipped through the inner pages and glanced at it randomly.

Zhou Shengchen spoke too casually, as if discussing trivial matters. However, she felt a sense of fear after hearing it and forgot to avoid the cherry blossom branches beside her. It was only when Zhou Shengchen raised his arm in front of her, brushing aside the fragrant branches, that Shi Yi finally reacted and hurriedly said thank you.

Throughout the afternoon, these individuals engaged in a contest with 108 playing cards. Zhou Shengchen's student clearly admired him, occasionally revealing some impressive achievements, most of which were related to scientific research. They could not comprehend the details, but they frequently expressed their admiration.

She was rendered speechless: "And then?"

It sounds quite interesting

"It wasn't arranged by the teacher," the student hurriedly explained, "This is my father's car. I happen to have a day off today. Last night, I conducted an experiment with the teacher until midnight. The teacher said we should go to Qinglong Temple to enjoy the flowers today, so I specifically reserved a spot for you all."

Then? Zhou Shengchen thought for a moment and said, "Fortunately, the more than ten materials I prepared are still here. I will transfer them to the adjacent laboratory this afternoon to continue the tolerance tests."

As night fell, it became somewhat chilly by the window. A server from the shop came over to close the window and attentively brought small plates of snacks for a few people. Hong Xiaoyu finally remembered her presence, which was as inconspicuous as air: "What are you looking at?"

He Shan had a strong affection for this beautiful older sister and deliberately handed the tea to her.

What does 'defector from North Korea' mean? He Shan casually threw down two cards and asked out of curiosity

"I set aside a fixed time every day to read," he said, "but it is not a matter of being all-encompassing; it depends on whether the book is interesting."

Shiyi let out a sound and tentatively continued to ask him: "Have you ever been to those old-fashioned libraries? With layers of wooden shelves and countless volumes of books?"

The Legend of the Seeking Qin

Hong Xiaoyu also fell silent

His sitting posture is very proper, and it seems he is accustomed to it. Even while accompanying them in playing poker, one can discern from the subtle details that he possesses excellent upbringing. Shiyi only glanced at him discreetly from the corner of her eye when he played his cards. Interestingly, the cards in his hand were also arranged very neatly, always maintaining a symmetrical fan-like arc.

The cameraman talked the most, and after a while, he started to mention his own past academic performance: "Speaking of which, my grades back then were quite poor; I barely passed the college entrance examination and managed to get into university. Teacher Zhou, are you the kind of person who dedicates yourself to science?"

Alright, you speak.

Just right. Everything is just right.

"Defectors." Shiyi shook the book in his hand, "It talks about North Korea."

"Do you have any... any particularly vulgar hobbies?" Xiaoyu asked him

Zhou Shengchen did not quite understand her words, and with a faint smile, he said: "The place I often go to also has layers of wooden shelves, but the shelves are filled with bottles and jars, various dangerous instruments that should not be touched lightly"

Zhou Shengchen's action of touching the cards was neither hurried nor slow, as he casually chatted with a few people

The temple is not large, and after a short visit, this spring outing came to an end

Many, such as watching television dramas

I may have watched it more than seventy times, "Zhou Shengchen smiled nonchalantly and said, "To be more precise, it is seventy-nine times."

Normal, normal, Xiao Yu has finally regained the confidence of a normal person. It turns out that even chemistry professors enjoy time-travel stories, especially "The Legend of the Condor Heroes." My boyfriend from university particularly liked it as well, having watched it a full four times.

The cameraman smiled and patted his arm, saying: "I once interviewed some defectors from North Korea, and they all said it was quite common for everyone to mention that someone in their family had starved to death. If it were you, would you escape?"

"Oh? Teacher Zhou is indeed thoughtful, arranging for his own students to secure a spot?" Xiaoyu pulled over a chair and sat down first

Shiyi picked up a small plate for desserts, chose one that looked delicious, and took a bite
