[Four Drive Brothers] Reshaping Reality

The reminder of the new email sounded, and the summary showed that the email was from Edge. Hugh opened the mailbox and checked the text of the email.

"Hugh, I haven't contacted you for a long time. I just learned from a friend who used to train with NASA that the captain has been banned from training for half a year because of abnormal intraocular pressure. I wonder if you have contacted the captain? Sometimes, I really will It feels like life is cruel and hard, especially for those of us who once chose to fly into space."

Hugh's eyes were fixed on the few lines sent by Aiji, and his intraocular pressure was abnormal. He could predict what an unbearable blow this would be for the extremely proud Brett, and the next In seconds, Hugh finally found the source of Zhou Yan's unspeakable distraction and silent hesitation.

But Hugh immediately denied his guess. Although Hugh didn't want to admit it, if Zhou Yan really understood the whole story, Zhou Yan would definitely not just show up as tangled hesitation or absent-minded silence. character, she will definitely travel to the United States to accompany Brett.

Hugh tried to put himself in Brett's position, and he had to admit that if it was Hugh himself, he would definitely choose to endure alone.

Hugh regretted a little. Why did he tell Aggie his email address in the first place? Hugh never doubted that the life of his old enemy would not be as smooth as his own.Hugh's eyes drifted to the distance, the night lights flickered, but it was hard to compete with the stars.Hugh remembers Brett looking up at the stars after a private contest with him, the way he must win.

Hugh frowned. He thought he might have a hard time falling asleep tonight.

The sun slanted into the room, and Hugh raised his bangs. After a sleepless night, he was only tired, not sleepy.Hugh sighed softly, he walked over and pressed a key on the keyboard, the computer screen lit up again, the e-mail that seemed plain in language but shocking in essence was still showing off its might in the center of the screen.Hugh pressed his temples to suppress the slight headache caused by insomnia. He opened the webpage and entered the words "abnormal intraocular pressure" in the search bar.

"You seem a little haggard today." Zhou Yan stared at Hugh in doubt.

"No, I slept very well yesterday." Hugh raised the coffee cup in a concealed manner, but because of his excessive movements, the precious manor coffee was spilled without shame.

Zhou Yan quickly took out a tissue and wiped the table: "Your behavior today is really not what you usually look like."

"Then what do I usually look like?" Hugh changed the subject lightly.

"Lifting the weight as lightly as possible is probably a list of many words like this." Zhou Yan racked her brains to think about the appropriate translation method.

Hugh nodded absently.

In order to thank Hugh, Zhou Yan took a taxi with Hugh to a famous coffee shop in the bustling area of ​​the city center. According to friends, this shop not only tastes authentic coffee, but also has the signature dessert chocolate sandwich made by the manager. It is comparable to the "sweet carol" of the German Princess Cafe.

Zhou Yan threw an interesting chocolate ball into her mouth: "What do you think, if I want to complete all the procedures to go to Germany within a month, how difficult will this matter be?"

Hugh, who kept his head down all the time, wondering what to think, raised his head: "Have you already made a decision?"

Zhou Yan nodded: "Well, after finishing the Abitur test yesterday, my confidence has greatly increased. I went back and collected some introduction materials about the ranking of schools and majors. If I major in finance, for me, going to Germany is indeed a good idea. It's a great choice."

Hugh looked at Zhou Yan, and he tried to tell himself that no matter what happened to Brett, whether Zhou Yan knew it or not, Zhou Yan had already made a decision.Time is so precious, there is no extra time to waste on unnecessary entanglements, not to mention, there are so many unknown secrets in this world, if even Brett himself feels that there is no need to be saved, why should he help Brett? Special will keep secret.

The environment of this cafe is elegant and the taste is pure. Suddenly, Hugh sometimes thinks that he and Zhou Yan are already in Germany. This day is just a very ordinary day in the endless relationship between him and Zhou Yan. .Hugh believes that as long as Zhou Yan goes to Germany, there will be a day when he can open her heart.

Zhou Yan looked at Hugh's abnormal silence inexplicably, she saw Hugh gradually frowning from the initial expressionless face, Zhou Yan took a sip of milk tea: "You can't be, you don't welcome me anymore, right?" ? If you have something to hide, you can tell it directly, it's okay." Zhou Yan joked.

Hugh twitched the corner of his mouth, "How could it be?"

Zhou Yan said with a smile: "I never thought that such a difficult expression would appear on your face. I once thought that nothing difficult for you would appear in your life."

Hugh tried hard to calm his complicated mood, and added an extra spoonful of sugar to the coffee: "No. There have been many things that happened in my life, even now, I still can't get over it."

"E.g?"

"For example, giving up four-wheel drive, for example, cutting off a friendship or losing some audio..."

Zhou Yan nodded in agreement.

But Hugh's words are not over: "For example, seeing some people give up their dreams and say goodbye to space."

Zhou Yan's movements paused, her smile froze at the corner of her mouth, she murmured, "Who do you mean?"

Hugh sighed silently. He thought that at such a moment, he would probably no longer be able to maintain respect for others' privacy and any gentlemanly demeanor as he himself expected. He asked without warning: " Why, you didn't choose to go to America?"

Zhou Yan's hair was drooping and her eyes were out of focus. Hugh thought, Zhou Yan really didn't know the setback Brett had encountered.At this moment, Hugh had only one thought in his mind, ignorance is also a kind of luck, and how much did that old enemy who is always defiant sacrifice and conceal?

"I received an email from Edge yesterday..." Hugh said slowly without any emotion.

Hugh could see that the content of this email also set off a storm in Zhou Yan's heart.After Hugh finished speaking the last word, and saw Zhou Yan's face, all the hesitation and frustration had disappeared, replaced by a firmness and determination that swept across in an instant.

There was no need for Zhou Yan to say anything more, Hugh instantly understood all her thoughts.Hugh saw that Zhou Yan was nervously searching for words, he knew that Zhou Yan didn't have any hesitation about her next decision, she was just thinking about a response plan that would least disappoint him.

However, Hugh must be disappointed, and Hugh is already disappointed.

Hugh raised his hand and stopped all Zhou Yan's words, he chuckled lightly: "It's okay, even if you finally choose to study in the United States, my previous promise is still valid, I can still help you deal with all kinds of things to go to the United States formalities."

"Hugh." Zhou Yan looked at the opposite person guiltily. She knew that her repeated hesitation and change of orders must have troubled and disappointed Hugh, but she had no choice. She even wanted to give up all the complicated and time-consuming procedures. , flew directly to that person's side, scolded that person first, and then gave him all the comfort and hugs with all his strength.

Hugh raised his cup and took a sip. In the past, he liked the original taste of coffee the most, with little sugar and condensed milk added. Hugh didn't expect that the sweetness of this kind of sugar instantly invaded the taste of all tastes, and it was also very good.

……

Hugh really followed the promise and assisted Zhou Yan in finding information about American schools and handling visa procedures. Hugh even found out Brett's current address from Aggie.

Day after day, Zhou Yan became more guilty, and was about to be overwhelmed by this feeling of fullness.On the day when Zhou Yan's procedures were finally on track, she invited Hugh to the cafe where they met again.

Hugh looked at the thickness and color of the drink in his hand: "Is there a new product here?"

Zhou Yan smiled: "I made this after many days of research. I bought your favorite brand of rum and added hot chocolate."

Hugh raised the cup to drink lightly, the mellow touch spread on the tip of the tongue, the sweet aroma of honey and sugar cane, and the thick chocolate-wrapped spread in the mouth: "It tastes great, why is it so good to me all of a sudden?"

Zhou Yan glanced at Hugh with dissatisfaction: "The words you said seem to be accusing me of treating you badly." Seeing Hugh raising her eyebrows and looking at her, Zhou Yan had no choice but to raise her hands in surrender. "Okay, okay, my conscience has found out, I just think, thank you very much."

Hugh took another sip of rum, and he began to feel slightly drunk: "I don't want you to thank me." Zhou Yan, who was opposite, opened her eyes wide, looking incomprehensible.Hugh continued, "To be precise, I don't want you to be nice to me. It comes from your gratitude or guilt. I hope you are nice to me because... because you want to."

The spoon that Zhou Yan had just raised fell back into the cup again, making a crisp sound.

The corner of Hugh's mouth curled up, that's right, he has been entangled in secret for so long, helpless for so long, it's time, it's time for Zhou Yan to feel the same way.Hugh looked at Zhou Yan staring at him innocently, and he could think that if he didn't say anything, Zhou Yan would probably temporarily lose the ability to talk, and stare at him until the deadline to fly to the United States.

Hugh sighed lightly: "I believe that we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future." He stirred the hot chocolate in the rum with a spoon with his usual expression, "At least Germany is a good place to study for a master's degree. "
