At night, after the two embraced and fell asleep, Duan Kejia suddenly dreamed of a small incident that happened many years ago.

In a trance, he returned to the days when he was studying in a certain public school in country B.

He heard Tudou ask him in broken Chinese: "Ed, are you really going to give up the chance to participate in the second round?"

At that time, Duan Kejia, who was about to turn 16, was doing experiments while wearing goggles.

He paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I have quit the game."

Tudou's parents are both Chinese of country B nationality, so Tudou can speak a little Chinese, but it is extremely unfamiliar, and the tone of his voice is very strange, especially the third tone.

In this private middle school, which symbolizes the aristocratic spirit of country B, there are almost no traces of East Asians, and the number of Chinese students enrolled every year is even rarer, and they can be counted on one hand.

Although the overseas Chinese are not as united as the Indians, Tudou takes good care of this Chinese elementary school boy, and the other party has a unique sense of intimacy, which makes him feel safe and comfortable.

Faced with Duan Kejia's indifferent tone, Tudou became anxious. His meager reserves of Chinese could no longer meet the regret he wanted to express, so he began to enlighten the other party in English: "Why give up? You are obviously very talented. I have never I have never seen a student who loves natural science as much as you. Professor Lerner likes you very much. After graduation, you will definitely be able to easily get an admission letter from Cambridge. And the current physics competition, which you have passed the preliminary exam, can help you get a chance from university professors. With your strength, you can easily pass the second round of tests, then—”

Talk too much when you are in a hurry. After many years, Tudou has not been able to get rid of this bad habit.

"I know, we've talked about these things many times." Duan Kejia took off his goggles, turned off the instrument in front of him, and said, "You got the admission letter from Cambridge because of this competition last year."

Both of them are students who are assigned to Class A in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Class A does not refer to a class, but means that they are outstanding in these three subjects compared with their peers, and can receive a better and more profound education. For example, every week, university professors come to teach them calculus, college physics and other knowledge.

Tudou is two years older than Duan Kejia, and is a graduate of this year's public school.

Duan Kejia thinks that Tudou was able to get to know him in the first place, probably because one time when he sneaked to the classroom of Class A of the senior grade to attend the high mathematics, he was discovered by Tudou who was also listening in the classroom.

The similar race and aspirations make the two cherish each other.For a long time.Duan Kejia is the follower of senior Tudou - after all, Duan Kejia was not born and raised in country B, he needs someone to show him the whole picture of country B.And during the holidays, Tudou will take him to countries around country B to experience the customs and customs that are completely different from those in East Asia.

Tudou is very puzzled, the other party obviously has an eye-catching face, but he seldom shows up at sports events and other occasions.As long as he is in school, Duan Kejia will try his best to run to the library and laboratory, and sometimes even stay there all day.

Duan Kejia will also arrange some leisure time for herself, such as visiting some art exhibitions.When he is not studying and living, he likes to get in touch with things related to pottery, music, calligraphy and painting.

In Tudou's words, he is a person who possesses artistic cells and logical thinking ability at the same time, which is extremely rare.

Almost everyone has a dream of "I want to be a scientist" to tell their teachers and parents when they were young. However, it can be said that very few people still maintain this dream when they grow up, either because they realize that they have no talent, or But I found the learning process boring and difficult, so I had to give up.

In short, the dream of a "scientist" in most people's hearts will fade away with the passage of time.

But Tudou thinks that Duan Kejia is one of the "few".

The perseverance and talent above ordinary people made this elementary school boy a leader among his peers.He believed that the other party could become a professor at a well-known university at a very young age, and make extraordinary research results, and even go down in history.

This is of course Tudou's own dream.

"I don't understand," Tudou switched to Chinese again, and the pronunciation of the cocked tongue sound was really weird, "I don't know."

Duan Kejia rolled up the torn laboratory glove and threw it into the trash can. While washing his hands, he said, "Tudou, I'm leaving country B soon, and I may not come back in the future. You have to take care."

"Why?" Tudou followed him around the laboratory, "Ed, are you going to North America? Then I can understand, after all, the universities there have many top research projects in the world, then you can... ..."

"No." Duan Kejia lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes looked thick and long under the light, "Because there are some problems at home, I have to go back now. You should know that I am a very responsible person, and my family is waiting for me. Me, I can't continue to stay here with peace of mind. After the domestic affairs are settled, I should be able to find time to study, but I can only study business."

"Ed, what do you mean? Study business directly?..." Tudou couldn't help feeling disappointed, "But you haven't graduated from public school yet."

"Before I leave country B, I will go through the withdrawal procedures at the public school."

After Duan Kejia finished speaking, she was about to reach out to take out a new set of school uniform shirt and suit jacket from the locker.

Potato put his hand on the switch of the locker with a "snap": "What?! Ed, you want to drop out of school?!"

He resisted the switch because he wanted to take advantage of his physical strength to force the other party to face up to this topic.But within two seconds of standing in front of Duan Kejia, Tudou suddenly remembered that although the other party was a junior who was two years younger than him, his physique had already grown much taller than him.Seeing that Duan Kejia was looking at him gloomyly with downcast eyes, the strength in Tudou's hand suddenly softened, and he moved to the side: "I'm not saying business is bad, but I think it's a pity that you drop out now , you have obviously completed all the middle school courses, and you will be able to graduate in one year..."

Duan Kejia put on this rather gentlemanly school uniform, and he skillfully tied two knots in his tie: "Don't worry, after returning to China, I will not only get a complete middle school resume, but also a well-known university in China. Studying, although not as good as Cambridge, is okay. It’s just that from now on, no one will call me Ed anymore.”

"Why?" Potato looked puzzled.

Duan Kejia had already packed her things and was about to turn around and leave.His eyes were flat, and his tone was even more flat: "Because no one will remember Ed, and no one will remember me."

"How is it possible? I remember you!"

"What's the use of you remembering me?" Duan Kejia's pupils suddenly showed a silent blackness, "Do you know my Chinese name?"

Potato was immediately discouraged, and turned his gaze to the ground: "I..."

"Okay, I will treat you to dinner before I leave school. Now I have to go to class." Duan Kejia waved to him, "When you finish the 'Last Supper', forget about me. From now on, there will be no AI in the world." De this person."

Tudou wanted to keep up with the other party, but was stopped in the teaching building where only the lower grades could enter with a card.

Through the transparent glass window, he watched Duan Kejia's figure step by step into the area where the afternoon sun could not reach.

——It was an almost dark area.

The figure gradually shrinks until it disappears.

In the days that followed, he waited for the conversation to call to fulfill his promise of the 'Last Supper', but he never heard back.

One day, he couldn't wait any longer, so he asked his classmates in the lower grades for news, and only then did he know that the junior named Ed had dropped out of school for many days.

The other party missed the appointment.

The school library and the laboratory were missing a familiar figure for him.

Fortunately, he is about to graduate, so he won't be sentimental because of the scene.

Since then, he and "Ed" have never had any contact.

……

Duan Kejia woke up suddenly, he picked up the mobile phone beside the bed and glanced at the time.

It was four in the morning.

Probably affected by the light from the mobile phone, Cheng Weishi on the bed turned over in his sleep and rolled to the other side.

Duan Kejia unlocked the screen, opened a social software, and found that Tudou's latest status was posted at [-]:[-] in the morning: The boss and the starlet ran away, and all the work was dumped on me. I am so miserable.

So he sent a message to Potato.

"are you there?"

Potato returned quickly: "Yes, boss! I haven't slept yet!"

At this time, Cheng Weishi turned over and rolled back from the bed, wrapped his arms around Duan Kejia's arms, and slept soundly.

"It seems that I haven't seriously introduced my new friend to you. I want to invite you to dinner with him."

Duan Kejia glanced at the flushed face of the person beside him, leaned down and kissed it lightly.

"Is it because I'm from the Corrupt Country that you think you can bring your same-sex partner to feed me dog food regardless?" Tudou sent an angry expression, "Are you worthy of me who work day and night?"

Duan Kejia was obviously a restrained and elegant gentleman with a chivalrous demeanor in school, but Duan Kejia didn't understand why Tudou had become so skinless and shameless after being here for a few years.

Duan Kejia: "No, I think I still owe you a dinner."

He knocked again: "Nine years in arrears."

Potato:"……"

A few minutes later, Tudou replied: "Boss, why are you suddenly sensational in the middle of the night? I'm about to cry."

"Well, that's it. You put your work aside and find a time tomorrow. I'll bring him to treat you to dinner."
