The lightness of the world of mortals

What is our time difference?

seven hours.

"Yu, '7' is our love number. We met on number seven. In the Mzetuna Harvey myth, there are seven doors, seven locks, and seven checkpoints on the way to the castle. In the legend of Mermaid Island, The leaves with seven thorns are not poisonous. The last time I was in Benek, the local driver told me a legend about the Lorelei Mountain Rock. I checked it later, and there is information that you will see it when the river falls. Seven rocks...now, our time difference is seven hours."

Ming Yue woke up early in the morning in Amsterdam, and on his phone was a voice from Chen Xilin two hours ago, like a gurgling stream.She was still awake, listening with her eyes closed, smiling, and frowning again suddenly.

"You hid that chip in your body for seven years..."

While talking, I suddenly woke up, and quickly ended the recording to recall it.The voice was withdrawn, and I was busy recording another sentence: "Good morning~ I miss you~"

After a while, a text came over there:

——For the sake of thinking of me, I don't care about you.

There is also a "pig head" emoji on the back.Chen Xilin finally kept up with the times and stopped posting :)

It turned out that she heard it, and Ming Yue regretted it, and comforted himself "it's not poisonous". Thinking of Qingqing, he really wanted to tell her the whole thing quickly, but such an important matter, how could he not tell her face to face?

She made a silly smile, and added:

—Are you free to speak?

The screen of the mobile phone was occupied by a beautiful avatar, all the troubles in the world disappeared in an instant, Ming Yue tapped the answer button.

"I was wrong..." She pretended to have a cute and cute voice.

"Settling accounts after autumn."

"It must be done, in the bedroom, in the kitchen, in the bathroom, even in the car. It will work day and night without complaint."

Chen Xilin was stunned for a moment, "Ming Yu... have you made a mistake..."

Nice laughter came from there, Chen Xilin turned around in the afternoon sun, turned to the floor-to-ceiling windows, leaned back slightly, and leaned against the corner of the table, the laughter from the earphones permeated his whole body.

Jiang Ruojing came to ask her to sign, and stopped at the door. Chen Xilin's face was radiant after returning from this trip, and now the sun was shining through the window glass and dyed her sideways with a light golden luster, like a winter brew. frozen wine.

How much does Mingyu love her?Jiang Ruojing thought, looking at Chen Xilin's beautifully textured hair, the light gray suit on her body, the white shirt in the suit, and the slender and well-proportioned legs wrapped in the trousers...Chen Xilin never deliberately matched bright colors to "raise her." Brighten your complexion,” fashionistas always tell you, but she has a knack for dressing neutrals elegantly.

So what, these are just appearances, what about the inside?Not a layman who would lose his temper after drinking.Jiang Ruojing looked at her profile.

She is talking on the phone, who is she talking to?The slightly drooping eyelashes are full of joy.Jiang Ruojing suddenly felt jealous, who was he jealous of?She couldn't tell, but she was secretly jealous.

Chen Xilin suddenly turned his head to see her, and hurriedly said something to the person on the other end of the phone, the corners of his lips curled up in the same happy arc.

She's in a relationship, Jiang Ruojing thought.

Chen Xilin hung up the phone, nodded to Jiang Ruojing outside the door, and signaled her to come in.

"Lynn, you seem to be in a good mood."

The smile on Chen Xilin's face has not dissipated, "What's the matter?"

"The second round of testing is over, please sign."

Chen Xilin took it over and signed it with a few strokes.

Jiang Ruojing puffed up his cheeks, "Don't you look at it?"

"I read the electronic version this morning."

"Aren't you afraid that this is different from the electronic version?"

Chen Xilin froze for a moment, "What good would it do if you do this?"

Jiang Ruojing laughed, "I'm just kidding, but, Lynn, I don't think you care about Jedi anymore."

Chen Xilin raised his eyebrows slightly, "The Pentagon's endless delays have given us enough time to prepare. The second round of testing is over, and the rest is just waiting."

Jiang Ruojing pouted and rolled his eyes, "Do you think we will win?"

"What do you think?"

"I think our product is great!"

Chen Xilin smiled, like a mother who heard her child being praised, "The person in charge of product testing has said so, what objection do I have?"

Seeing Jiang Ruojing holding the materials and refusing to leave, "Do you want something to drink?"

"Mocha, thank you." Jiang Ruojing smiled at her, as if he was planning to plan.

Chen Xilin called his assistant: "A cup of mocha, a cup of American style, thank you."

"Lynn, do you celebrate Chinese New Year?"

"My grandpa used to have a meal with him. I don't remember it when I'm alone."

"There are still ten days until Chinese New Year. Aren't you going back to America to accompany Mr. Bai this year?"

"Just came from the United States, so don't worry about it," Chen Xilin sipped his coffee, "What about you? Stay in Haicheng or go back to Qingcheng?"

"Me," Jiang Ruojing's eyes dimmed, "here to accompany his family first, and return to Qingcheng in the second year of junior high school."

Chen Xilin nodded, she was not familiar with many customs.

Assistant Su Xi came over from the outside again, and looked into Chen Xilin's office through the blinds, as if there was something urgent, Jiang Ruojing also saw it, put down the glass, "I'll go back to work first, thank you Mr. Chen for the mocha~"

As soon as Jiang Ruojing left, Su Xi leaned in, "Mr. Chen, excuse me..."

Chen Xilin waved his hand, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Just now an employee of 'Youjia' on the fifth floor was taken away by an ambulance. He said that he started to have a fever last night. It fell headfirst to the ground."

Chen Xilin's expression changed upon hearing this, "What's the matter?"

Su Xi closed the door subconsciously, "Mr. Chen, have you heard? Several meningitis patients have been admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Haida University in the past few days. A doctor in the Affiliated Hospital said that this disease is very strange. It is not ordinary meningitis. It seems to be Caused by an unknown virus, and contagious..."

"You mean to say that the employees of 'Youjia' got this kind of meningitis?"

"Symptoms... the symptoms are quite similar..."

Just as Chen Xilin was about to say something, her phone vibrated on the table. She glanced at it, and it was Ming Yue.

Picking up the phone, Susie knew she was going to pick it up, and she was very witty, "Then Mr. Chen, I'll go out first, and call me if I need something."

Chen Xilin watched the door close, "Missing me again so soon?"

"I just checked Weibo and saw that there were several cases of unexplained meningitis in Haicheng. Have you heard about it?"

"The assistant was telling me about this just before you called me in. Why? Has the news reached Europe?"

"That's not true. I saw it on WeChat, but I don't know if it's true or not."

Chen Xilin thought of the employee of Youjia, but it was Su Xi's guess after all. She didn't want to talk about unfounded things, and she didn't want to make Mingyu worry, so she comforted: "I will pay attention, and you don't worry either." Thinking of the topic Jiang Ruojing mentioned just now, "By the way, the Lunar New Year is coming soon, how are we going to spend it? If it wasn't for someone talking about it today, I would have forgotten about it."

"I used a lot of vacation last time, so I can't ask for another vacation, so I can't leave, how about you?"

Chen Xilin thought for a while, "I can go to your place and stay with you."

This proposal is too tempting, Ming Yue really hesitated for a moment, but he still reacted, "You just came back from here, don't bother my dear, we'll see you in San Fran next month, and I'll take care of you when you come over." I can't accompany you well."

Chen Xilin sighed, turned around, and saw a lot of employees gathered at the other end of the aisle outside the door, discussing something together.

"Okay, let's all pay close attention to that meningitis thing, you take care of yourself," Ming Yue said while putting on a scarf, "I'm going to work."

"Remember to eat breakfast."

"I know~"

After receiving the call, Chen Xilin opened the door and walked out. The gathered employees saw her, "Mr. Chen," and everyone greeted her one after another.

Chen Xilin nodded, "What's wrong?"

"Chen...Mr. Chen, a person on the fifth floor of our building passed out. Someone said it was viral meningitis..."

Sure enough, because of this matter, Chen Xilin couldn't help being vigilant, "I just heard that the meningitis seems to be spread very evilly."

"Oh, Mr. Chen, my husband's classmate works as a nurse in the Affiliated Hospital of Haida University. He is a neurosurgery doctor. Let me tell you, the first patient was admitted five days ago. Oh, it's incredible. I haven't woken up until now. In the past two days, I went in three more times, with the same symptoms, fever, vomiting, fatigue, unconsciousness, severe ones like the one on the fifth floor, who was about to faint, hey, let me tell you, the Affiliated Hospital of Haida University has reported to the disease control department The center is now waiting for the results to be reported.”

"Sister Judy, I heard it's contagious, right?"

"Yes!" The expression on Judy's face seemed to announce the coming of the end.

Panic is contagious, especially when you don't know much, and everyone has this doomsday expression for a while.

"If it is a highly contagious virus, the first to infect people who are in close contact with doctors, nurses and partners. How about the medical staff in that hospital?" Chen Xilin asked.

"I haven't heard anything yet, who knows..." Judy muttered.

"Okay, the employee on the fifth floor hasn't confirmed whether it's the same illness. We don't know what's going on with the so-called meningitis, so don't panic," Chen Xilin's cold voice seemed a bit out of place in this eager discussion, "I understand everyone's worries, and I am also worried, but what we can do now is to take care of personal hygiene. From now on, everyone washes their hands frequently and don't get together in crowded places."

As soon as the words fell, everyone subconsciously shrank back.

Chen Xilin walked back to the office, thinking, "meningitis caused by an unknown virus" - this reminded her of an old friend who was an expert in brain neurology.

On the second day, a doctor in the brain surgery department of the Affiliated Hospital of Haida University was infected, and three family members of the patients were infected successively. The first patient died after being in a coma for several days.The CDC identified the meningitis-causing superbug.

It is initially suspected that the first patient was infected with some kind of bacterial virus in bird feces from the nasal cavity when swimming in the winter in the river, and the virus entered the meninges through the nasal cavity.After going ashore, he told his wife that he had choked on water in his nose. At that time, flocks of migratory birds stopped by the river. This kind of water should be tested by a special department for virus.The wife of the deceased patient has also been diagnosed.

On the third day, the Haicheng Health Bureau officially announced the terrifying virus that was still circulating in the market, and it had its own name: birnitis-7.

In order to prevent large-scale spread, the Haicheng government acted decisively and quickly notified the society of the activities of all patients in recent days.Unfortunately, the employee on the fifth floor of the building where the white whale was located was also diagnosed.As a result, the building became a dangerous area, and all the office staff in the building were taken away by the hospital for observation.

The incubation period is 2-14 days.

Ming Yu was so anxious on the other end of the phone that his voice changed: "If you can't leave, I will go..."

It's too late, and the Spring Festival travel season is now, so we can't let it spread to the whole country.Haicheng is closed.
