Room 2219 called and asked them to send up a bottle of wine. The front desk staff was undecided and asked the manager. The manager called someone else and agreed to send the wine.

They sent someone upstairs to deliver the wine. As she just got out of the elevator, a soldier in camouflage uniform checked it and made sure there were no problems before letting her deliver it to room 2219.

The staff member who delivered the wine thought, he is so strict, he must be a big shot.

Under the watchful eyes of the guard, he rang the doorbell.

Soon the door inside opened a small gap, and only a dim light was on inside. The boy stretched out his white arms and took the wine and bottle from the staff.

The boy's hoarse voice came from inside, "Thank you."

The staff member wanted to see what the boy looked like out of curiosity, but before he could take a closer look, the door was closed from the inside.

She was stunned and couldn't see the guest's face clearly, but she only knew that he should be a very young boy, younger than them.

The guard in camouflage uniform saw that the person was still standing at the door and said softly, "You can leave now."

The staff member then entered the elevator and as soon as she returned downstairs, the people at the front desk couldn't wait to ask her who she saw and which important person it was.

She shook her head.

"Didn't you see it?"

"I saw him, but I couldn't see his face clearly. He should be a very young boy. There was also a guard outside, watching in the dark."

She told what she had seen.

The rest expressed disappointment.

But in their country, there are probably not many boys who are so valued and protected at such a young age, right?

The hotel staff were gossiping while Qin Jingyu was sitting by the window, watching the night view and drinking.

When Zhang Jinyang came the next day, he heard the situation from the guard who was assigned to the hotel last night. He chuckled and said, "Didn't this kid dislike drinking before?"

Wang Qingyun continued: "Maybe he's drinking to drown his sorrows?"

"He has returned to his country, so there is nothing to worry about."

"That's homesickness."

Professor Zhang nodded. "It's possible."

Wang Qingyun: "I heard from the staff that 2119 didn't call for breakfast. I think he shouldn't be awake yet. Let's go to the side and wait for a while."

Qin Jingyu indeed did not get up. He slept too late last night, and with the help of alcohol, he slept very well that night. It was almost noon when he woke up.

He checked the time and scratched his head.

After washing up, she ran into Yan Ji as soon as she went out. She was a little suspicious: "Didn't I give you a holiday? Why are you still here?"

She will be back from vacation for a week. Yan Ji has also not been back for a long time. When they were in the car yesterday, Professor Zhang said that he would be given a vacation and he didn't need to follow her for the next few days.

Yan Ji looked at the time. "The ticket for the 3pm trip back home is plenty of time. Professor Zhang and Dean Wang have been drinking tea downstairs all morning. You should go down quickly."

Qin Jingyu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, "Why didn't you wake me up?"

When she got up just now, she saw that there were no new messages on her phone and thought that Professor Zhang and others would not come until the afternoon.

Yan Ji: "It was Professor Zhang and the others' idea not to wake you up."

Qin Jingyu went down the elevator and found himself in the hotel's cafe. Professor Zhang and Dean Wang had indeed placed a teapot and even a chessboard inside. He guessed that they were the only ones who would drink tea and play chess in a cafe.

She said apologetically, "I overslept and kept you waiting for a long time."

"Come on, come on." Professor Zhang waved for her to come over. "Why are you being so polite? Anyway, we both have nothing to do these two days. I can't beat Dean Wang, so help me teach him a lesson."

Qin Jingyu pointed at himself, "Me?"

Wang Qingyun glared, "Hey, why are you asking for help?"

Professor Zhang chuckled, "Jingyu is an excellent chess player. Wouldn't it be more interesting to play against him than against me, who lacks skills?"

Wang Qingyun heard this and said, "Come on, come here, let me see your chess skills."

Professor Zhang: "You can try it. After playing this game of chess, it's just right for dinner."

Qin Jingyu was pushed to the seat opposite to Dean Wang. She said in a daze, "Please teach me."

Wang Qingyun chuckled, "Very polite."

Qin Jingyu: "..."

She glanced at Professor Zhang's previous move and realized that he had been put at a disadvantage by Wang Qingyun. She hadn't touched chess pieces for a long time, so her first two moves were unfamiliar.

Dean Wang was still smug and said: "It seems that I will defeat both of you masters and apprentices today."

Professor Zhang snorted, but thought to himself that it shouldn't be like this.

Qin Jingyu gradually found the feel for the game. He pursed his lips and said nothing, carefully watching the attack and defense of the chess pieces. The smile on Dean Wang's face didn't last long before he was killed without a trace.

Qin Jingyu: "Admit it."

Professor Zhang laughed unceremoniously upon seeing this, "Hahahaha, it's going to be hard for you to defeat Jingyu."

Qin Jingyu left a few chess pieces for Dean Wang, but the outcome had already been decided, so there was no need to move any further.

Wang Qingyun threw away the chess piece: "Okay, okay, I won't go down. You two, master and disciple, keep bullying me. I'm going to complain to Dean Zhou this afternoon."

Qin Jingyu looked at Zhang Jinyang blankly, and the latter patted her on the shoulder and said, "What are you afraid of? If he complains, will Dean Zhou not protect you?"

Wang Qingyun sighed when he saw this, "Ah, you're really not as humorous as before, nerd."

Qin Jingyu: "Are you talking about me?"

Wang Qingyun and Zhang Jinyang: "..."

In the afternoon, she went directly to Professor Chen's home. In the military compound, she learned that Dean Zhou's husband was a retired first-class officer.

I haven't seen Dean Zhou for two years. She seems to be getting younger and younger, while Professor Zhang is getting older and older. There is indeed a saying that whoever takes this class looks old.

Qin Jingyu felt a little awkward when he first arrived at Dean Zhou's house, but fortunately he adapted quickly. Dean Zhou and his wife were cooking, and Professor Zhang squeezed in to help.

Leaving Qin Jingyu and Dean Wang Qingyun staring at each other outside, she asked tentatively, "Another round?"

Wang Qingyun was stunned. No, no, "While Dean Zhang and Dean Zhou are busy, let's talk about other things."

She nodded and said okay.

"I have read the two papers you published in the second half of the year on nuclear pollution and nuclear fusion. I think they are very interesting and have long wanted to find an opportunity to discuss them with you."

When talking about professional knowledge, Qin Jingyu spoke very comfortably and smoothly, and Wang Qingyun seemed to see the young man who was once full of vigor and vitality again.

Lao Zhang said that he has changed, but in fact he has not changed much. He is still the same Qin Jingyu who is serious about his profession.

Dean Zhou and his wife cooked a table full of dishes, which was very rich, very similar to the family reunion dinner they would prepare at home on New Year’s Eve. She always thought that Dean Zhou played a parent role.

After dinner, Wang Qingyun had to go back to the research institute as he had a meeting tomorrow. Zhang Jinyang also had to go back to the Institute of Mathematics to preside over the overall work. Dean Zhou is now a nominal professor at Dibei University. He heard that she had several classmates at Dibei, so he asked her if she wanted to go to the school with her to visit her friends.

She shook her head. "Dean Zhou, let's do it another day. I want to go back to the laboratory tomorrow."

Professor Zhang said, "Dean Zhou, she came back just for this matter, why not let her arrange her own time."
