Chapter 184 Alarm
On a certain day of a certain year and a certain month, Bai Luo fell asleep in bed alone in the middle of the night.

An alarm whistled from outside the window that he didn't listen to, scaring him into shock, and his sleepiness was poked a big hole in an instant.

The alarm consisted of short but not urgent sirens.Fortunately, this is a small alarm.

There are two types of alarms in this institute: big and small.This place is heavily guarded, and the alarms, especially the small ones, basically go off every three to five times, and most of them go off at night.

But what is more annoying is actually the big alarm.You just need to hear the small alarm, but after you hear the big alarm, you have to run after it.

A big siren is the long blast of a siren after another.The remaining 200 or so people in the entire research institute are most afraid of hearing this stuff.As long as it is up, no matter how late it is at night, all researchers must gather in the small playground in the center of the institute within 3 minutes.Bai Luo ran four or five big alarms in just over a month.Twice during the day, and the rest at night.The latest time is 3:[-] in the morning, which is the time when people sleep the most soundly and the night is the coldest.Bai Luo only put on a thin white coat over his half-sleeve pajamas and ran out. In the end, he taught a lesson to the black and black night outside the window, and almost froze to death.

Bai Luo cursed in his heart like he was sleeping but not sleeping: "What's the matter? What's the matter? Every time there is a disturbance, there will be such a big commotion. Are you sick?"

As soon as these words came out of his mind, Bai Luo began to scold himself again in a daze.

"Bai Luo, Bai Luo, why are you yelling here? Are you sick? After all, this laboratory conducts secret experiments, so why don't you take it seriously?"

Bai Luo was thinking randomly and in a daze in his heart like this.The siren outside the window was still louder than louder.Bai Luo poked his nose into the warm blanket again, not wanting to talk to it, wanting to continue sleeping.

At this time, there was a sudden chill on the back.Someone lifted his quilt from behind, and then slid into a cold body.

That body gently stretched out its hand and hugged Bai Luo.A burst of cold air went straight up Bai Luo's spine, and Bai Luo's drowsiness disappeared immediately.

"Qiao Jingdong?"

Bai Luo asked a little unhappy.

Qiao Jingdong said vaguely, "It's me."

Bai Luo: "...Are you sick? In the middle of the night, just after the alarm sounded, you ran here to look for me? Those who knew thought that the alarm was to arrest you..."

Qiao Jingdong hehehe.If Bai Luo was looking at his face now, he would find that his smile was not so natural.

Bai Luo turned over and buried her face in his arms.

"Crazy, I don't want to play with you tonight. You can just sleep with me, can you?"

Qiao Jingdong patted him on the back.

"of course can."

Bai Luo raised his head.

"You are really strange. You didn't come to look for me or something, so why do you have to come here at night?"

Qiao Jingdong smiled and rested his chin on the top of his skull.

"I miss you, so I want to give you a hug."

Bai Luo rubbed his cheek against his chest.

"Great and crooked."

Qiao Jingdong stuffed him into his bosom again, and said, "It's good to be tired and crooked."

Bai Luo revealed one eye from his arms and looked at the window behind Qiao Jingdong.

The windows were not shut properly.Between the glass and the frame was a gap two fingers wide.Through the glass window, you can see the twinkling sky outside the window, which is reflected by the red warning light.

Bai Luo went to eat with Qiao Jingdong that morning.

He asked Qiao Jingdong: "Brother Jingdong, I heard that the tuition fees of universities in the United States are quite expensive?"

Qiao Jingdong said: "That's right, it's expensive. After a school year, the optical fee will be more than 5 US dollars, and a little over 6 US dollars. According to the exchange rate converted into our currency, it will cost 50 million a year."

Bai Luo raised his eyes and looked at him sincerely.

"Brother, you are really amazing! How did you manage to earn four to five million yuan a year for yourself?"

Qiao Jingdong said: "In the United States, don't look at how much he spends, he also earns a lot. Don't look at his tuition fees converted into our currency is 50 million, but in fact, what Americans earn is the same. It’s a beautiful knife, and it’s a beautiful knife. In fact, the 50 million is equivalent to [-] to [-] to others. With your brother and my ability, in fact, I can earn [-] to [-] in tuition fees a year, plus some living expenses. Can hold it."

Bai Luo gave him a thumbs up.

"In any case, you are still amazing. I think when I was studying in the United States, until I was admitted to graduate school, I was 23 and I couldn't even earn my own living expenses."

After a pause, he said again: "Hey, brother, didn't you come out of engineering? Isn't engineering said to be very busy? Your studies are so busy, how do you manage to work part-time without delaying your studies?"

Qiao Jingdong laughed out loud.

"Dr. Yang, it doesn't mean that all engineering majors are busy. The major I studied at the beginning was actually very leisurely. When I chose my major, I chose this major because I wanted it to be idle. As a result, my family fell into poverty, and this major was idle. On the contrary, it helped me a lot. If it weren’t for the leisure and entertainment of this profession, I guess I would still be doing dishes in the United States.”

Bai Luo responded with a confident expression of nodding and smiling to everything Qiao Jingdong said.

..................................................................

After work, Bai Luo made half a portion of scrambled eggs with tomatoes (his next month's salary has not yet been paid, so he can only make half a portion of rice) and four big steamed buns, and climbed to the rooftop to eat by himself .

Qiao Jingdong did not follow him up.This is exactly what Bai Luo wanted.

Bai Luo ate the steamed buns with vegetables.After a few mouthfuls, a steamed bun disappeared.After half a steamed bun, he ate up that half of the dish.So Bai Luo started to gnaw on the steamed buns dryly.

He didn't want to choke, so he tore the steamed buns into strips, threw them into his mouth, and chewed slowly.Starch will be slowly decomposed into maltose in the mouth.Therefore, the more you chew the steamed bun, the sweeter it becomes.

Bai Luo chewed and chewed, chewed and chewed.The evening wind blows in gusts, bringing the coolness of the night ahead of time.

Bai Luo's steamed buns soon became a little cold.But Bai Luo still continued to chew and gnaw.

He doesn't know when he has a problem.As long as I feel bad, I always like to eat more.Eat whatever you catch.Sweet, salty, spicy, or bland like steamed buns, Bai Luo will never refuse.

Why worry?Only snacks.

Chew and chew, chew and chew.Those 4 big steamed buns slipped into Bai Luo's stomach at some point.

Bai Luo patted his stomach, but felt that he was not panicking at all.On the contrary, I found that I had no more snacks in my hands, and there was an indescribable emptiness in my heart.
