Chu Zihang walked through the crowd to the bar and motioned for the waiter to mix him a glass of gin and tonic.The guests on board had already observed Chu Zihang and Vincent’s gamble of the century through the LCD screen. At this time, they were discussing excitedly, and their ears were filled with the sound of slot machines spitting out coins, the sound of chips colliding, the sound of the bartender The sound of shaking ice cubes and high heels hitting the ground.

Almost a year has passed since the trip to Japan. Chu Zihang only went back to the college three times, and the rest of the time he lived a life like this—carrying the suitcase issued by the executive department, hanging a knife bag on his shoulder, and dealing with one after another. Missions run all over the world.Most students don't join the executive department for an internship until the fourth grade, but it took him only two and a half years to complete all the credits, and the rest of the time was all internships.The internship location chosen by the academy for him is in Oslo, the capital of Norway. It is a sparsely populated city with charming scenery. Chu Zihang does not dislike the elegance and quietness of this city, but it is a bit too lonely.

"MerryChristmas!" The tourists raised their glasses and cheered, and the white wine was mellow.

With the ringing of the bell in the early morning, the whole icebreaker echoed the well-known Christmas song. In big cities in China, this cheerful music is everywhere on the streets when Christmas comes.Chu Zihang drank the slightly bitter liquid in the cup slowly, and began to recall Christmas last year...

At that time, less than a month had passed since he confessed his love to Lu Mingfei. With the strong support of all members of the Lion Heart Club, the president of the Lion Heart Club and the next president had their first date.The two drove the sports car borrowed by Lancelot around the campus on the top of the mountain. They planned to go for a ride along the way, but after a circle, they rushed into the city of Chicago along the mountain road.When Chu Zihang parked the car to look for Lu Mingfei, he found Lu Mingfei lying on the window of a bakery, staring at those beautifully shaped gingerbread houses.

Chu Zihang followed Lu Mingfei's line of sight to determine the target, went into the shop and bought the gingerbread house, held it in front of Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingfei took it and took down the chimney and ate it.Chu Zihang was sweating immediately. In his impression, the gingerbread house was placed under the Christmas tree for decoration. He had never heard of anyone eating it before.

"It turns out that gingerbread tastes like this." Lu Mingfei looked at the exquisitely crafted mini hut in his hand and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"Haven't you eaten it?" Chu Zihang was a little curious.

"In the past, in second-tier cities like our hometown, this kind of Western-style dim sum was very rare, okay?" Lu Mingfei gave him a blank look, "Of course, if it was my little fat cousin asking for it, my aunt gritted her teeth and said Maybe I will buy it for him. But I am not her own!"

Only then did Chu Zihang realize that he had accidentally exposed the other party's dark history, and he couldn't help feeling annoyed.Although Lu Mingfei rarely mentioned his past, Chu Zihang instinctively felt that his childhood was not happy.Will a child with a happy childhood live independently from the age of 12?When other people's children enjoy the school days of car pick-up and drop-off, live the days of putting on clothes, reaching out for food, and acting like a baby in the arms of their parents from time to time, the people in front of them have already begun to worry about their daily life. The bill for the fee and the meal menu for dinner went in circles.No wonder he is now so patient that he can cook turtles. Behind that, he must have experienced the pain of cutting his fingers countless times with a kitchen knife.

"I'm sorry." Chu Zihang apologized sincerely.

"Why are you suddenly apologizing, senior brother? I haven't thanked you for giving me a present!" Lu Mingfei smiled indifferently, put his arm around Chu Zihang's shoulder and said mysteriously, "Senior brother, let me tell you a secret Yo. When I was in elementary school, every Christmas, I would stand on the roof of my uncle’s house, strike a box of matches, and imagine that my parents would transform into male and female supermen and fly out of the moon, carrying huge ginger The bakery came to pick me up. Then I can get into that gingerbread house, from the door to the window, from the ceiling to the floor, and eat as much as you want!"

"Why strike a match?" Chu Zihang was puzzled.

"Make a wish."

"Why did your parents fly out of the moon?"

"Because there is no sun at night."

"And why did you go into the house to eat it?" Chu Zihang frowned, "If you bite the load-bearing wall and cause the house to collapse, wouldn't you be buried underneath?"

"Hey, hey, I was just a child at the time. Do you want to teach logic to children? Brother, you are so knowledgeable. You must have read a few fairy tales when you were young. Please give full play to your poor imagination and understand me, okay? "

Chu Zihang said in his heart that I had tried my best to understand, but the picture that emerged in my mind was hard to bear to look at.You walk into Andersen's fairy tale and become "the little match boy", you have a pair of superhuman parents who are busy saving the world, and they greet you back to the moon on Christmas night like the heavenly soldiers greet "Princess Taketori", however What they brought was not a canopy of feathers and a flying horse, but a huge gingerbread house... What a psychopath the author of this fairy tale is!

On a snowy night in Chicago, the lights are brilliant. Lu Mingfei is sitting on a bench in Lincoln Park, happily hugging his gingerbread house, eating and tearing it down while eating.Chu Zihang looked helplessly at how busy his junior brother was, fearing that he would accidentally choke to death on the street, so he went to the Starbucks next door to buy two cups of coffee as spares.

What the two of them didn't know was that a post in the night watchman's discussion area was marked red on the top that night, titled "President of the Lionheart Club shakes the S attribute and forces the national treasure to eat the gingerbread house in the cold wind".The accompanying picture shows Lu Mingfei curled up in a corner of the bench, with his back to the camera like a panda gnawing on bamboo, Chu Zihang holding a cup of Starbucks in each hand, sitting upright without getting angry, his eyes seem to say, "Eat up, choke!" Don't drink water, don't let it stay, or you will look good!"

Caesar snorted disdainfully after seeing that post, and immediately began to laugh at Chu Zihang for being too unromantic. If it hadn’t been for a strange love partner like Lu Mingfei, it would be impossible for Chu Zihang to say goodbye to being single smoothly. Tan.Of course, their student union was not idle that night. Caesar ordered people to fill the outdoor swimming pool with a lot of champagne, and held an extravagant winter swimming championship. As a result, the swimming pool was frozen and cracked and the college gave a demerit...

"Hope Santa throws me a sexy fiancé down the chimney! I hope he plays the cello and has a little beard!" The voice of a girl wishing came from afar.

The boy opened the velvet jewelry box by candlelight, and the diamond ring reflected the bright light. When the girl screamed, he knelt under her long skirt and proposed to her.A waiter dressed as Santa Claus blessed the couple with a whalebone flute and filled everyone's glasses with pink champagne.

Chu Zihang was unknowingly infected by the atmosphere of the proposal, and took out a ring inlaid with rubies from his pocket, and put it in his hand to examine it carefully.The pure and rich crimson crystal reflects the beautiful six-shot starlight under the candlelight. It is the birthstone of July, and Lu Mingfei was born in that fiery July.

"Natural rubies are very rare, and the richer and brighter the color, the more valuable it is. This one is the top Burmese pigeon blood red, which is 20 carats and has no impurities. If it is placed in the auction house for bidding, it will inevitably roll up again. It was a bloody storm." Sasha ordered a martini and sat down beside Chu Zihang, "You can buy it from the captain, Mr. Chu, you are very courageous and discerning."

"It seems that you are very good at gemstones." Chu Zihang looked at this rough Russian.In fact, he doesn't know gem appreciation at all, he just set a price that he thinks is reasonable, but the old captain was so shocked by the fact that the head of state could not be resurrected that he wanted to die, and he didn't realize that he was in a loss-making business , actually transferred the ring to him.

"Before being hired by the captain, I was a treasure hunter." Sasha shrugged, "I think you are right, the captain really needs to find a psychiatrist."

"Did he tell you why he was looking for that island?" Chu Zihang asked.

"It is said that Hitler's treasure is on that island. This story sounds absurd. But the captain is very quick to pay, and you know that I need money."

"This is really not mentioned in the information I got." Chu Zihang said honestly.

"Oh, I have an ex-wife." Sasha sighed, this bearded middle-aged man showed a rare look of loneliness, "After divorcing me, she was in a car accident, and now she is in a vegetable state, I have to make money Put her in the hospital."

"Ex-wife?" Chu Zihang was slightly surprised, but he couldn't see that this man was so affectionate and righteous.

"Yeah, speaking of which, I have liked many women in my life. Where does the boatman go to find pleasure? It's so lonely on the boat. But that's the only woman who planned to have a baby with me! I How can you just watch her lying in the hospital and ignore it?" Sasha scratched his head and smiled, "You will understand this feeling when you are married. I heard from the captain that you are engaged. Mr. Chu, you are so handsome Chic, your fiancé must be pretty too."

Chu Zihang nodded: "It's very beautiful, it's so bright."

"Oh, isn't that like this pigeon's blood ruby?"

"Yes." Chu Zihang lowered his head, gently rubbing the surface of the ring.

If Chu Zihang announces that Lu Mingfei has a pair of ruby ​​eyes in public, I believe that all the teachers and students of Kassel College will think that the president of the Lionheart Society has been overtired and color-blind recently, because in their opinion, the pupils of the S-level national treasure It's pure midnight black, but if it has red eyes, is it still called a giant panda?It's almost like changing the name to Little White Rabbit!What they don't know is that only under the illumination of Chu Zihang's "Jun Yan", those pitch-black eyes will show a breathtaking red, like flowing blood and burning fire.

It was the beauty in the world that only he could see.

"I won't waste your time. If you have time, you can come to the captain's cabin and meet me for a drink. I'm not talking about the captain's cabin above." Sasha took off his captain's cap and waved goodbye to Chu Zihang.

Chu Zihang watched Sasha leave, then turned the pure gold ring to the back, and a needle-like flame ignited at his fingertips.After thinking for a while, he nimbly turned his finger and carved a line of English on the inside of the ring: Myfirst, myonly, RicardoM.Lu

Santa Claus began to deliver gifts, and many tourists left the gaming tables to join in the fun.Chu Zihang drank the wine in the glass, pressed a ten-dollar bill under the glass, said no need to look for it, got up and left.

He returned to his cabin, took out the recording headset and computer, and prepared to write the report to Norma before going to bed.He recently started experimenting with audio recordings for his reports and emails to his mother.Mom was very happy and said, son, your voice is like your own father. Although your own father is unreliable, his voice is really first-class when he reads love poems!Chu Zihang said in his heart that you will never hear that man talking to you again, just listen to my voice to remember.

"Chu Zihang, interim commissioner of the Executive Department, No. 060143A, reported at 72° north latitude, Greenland Sea, time 23:42, on the icebreaker YAMAL. After talking with the captain Vincent von Andres, basically ruled out The possibility that he was looking for dragons..."

Next came the recording for Mom, and he put on a cheerful voice.However, to Lu Mingfei's ears, the so-called cheerful voice was very close to the feeling of a ruthless swordsman threatening his opponent to "roll away".

"Mom, I seldom record and leave messages for you recently, because I have been on the boat. The instructor suddenly became interested in the migration curve of Arctic whales, and let us follow a whaling ship to do research in the Greenland Sea. The boat is very large and sails smoothly. The captain said that there will be no storms in this season, and it is safe to go out to sea. He is very kind, and after catching fish, he taught us how to cut fish and make sushi. I learned to go back and teach you..."

He has been sending similar deceptive e-mails to his mother for several years, and he will come when he opens his mouth.In fact, he knew how to make sushi a long time ago, but not on the whaling ship, but at the "Sakura-sama's Evening Tea Party" in Kabukicho.He still remembered that in front of him was a group of guests who were drooling at him with barley tea, and behind him was Lu Mingfei who taught him how to roll sushi. Lu Mingfei put his hands through his waist while rolling the rice and ingredients into the seaweed. Said in an ambiguous tone, "I really want to include you, Ukyo", which caused the female guests to scream and almost knocked down the roof of Takamahara.

The frowns and smiles of that person in his memory clearly appeared in front of his eyes, Chu Zihang sighed for a long time, adjusted the microphone, and began to record and send the voicemail to Lu Mingfei.

"Mingfei, it's been a week since I last contacted you, how are you doing recently? I suddenly miss you very much today, and your sushi—"

Chu Zihang suddenly pressed the pause button.This sentence sounds like a foodie, how can sushi be compared with Ming Fei?No, re-record!

"Ming Fei, it's been a week since I last contacted you. How are you doing recently? It's Christmas Eve again, and I can't help but think of the last Christmas Eve we spent together. Did you eat gingerbread house today—— "

Chu Zihang pressed the pause button again.He almost forgot that he was against Ming Fei eating gingerbread houses. The use of that thing for decoration is far greater than for eating. It seems that the pigment content may exceed the standard. It is better not to eat it.No, re-record!

"Mingfei, it's been a week since I last contacted you. How are you doing recently? There was a marriage proposal on the boat tonight, and I suddenly remembered that the "marriage application" has been approved for more than half a year, and I haven't formally proposed to you yet. I know you I am not a person who pays attention to form, but I still think that since the program exists, it has its meaning, and life should move forward step by step..."

Chu Zihang stopped talking and frowned slightly.I always feel that the recorded content is too preachy, will Mingfei feel disgusted when he hears it?He couldn't help hesitating, so he had to pause the recording first, struggled for a while, and logged into the night watchman discussion area incognito.

"Because the president of the Lionheart Club has not returned for a long time, the S-class was dissatisfied with his desires and had a hot temper. On Christmas Eve, he sneaked into the alchemy chemistry laboratory to prepare explosives. In the middle of the night, I ran into a young couple downstairs. The heart of the S-class was traumatized. The hydrogen cylinders used to refine pure aluminum were thrown out of the window, causing a large-scale explosion, and there were no casualties. At present, the overly frightened couple has been sent to the teacher Masashi Toyama for psychological treatment. ', nozuonodiewhyyoutry..." The accompanying picture shows Lu Mingfei holding a flame spray gun and bursting into anger, a newspaper office attitude of the FFF group trying to burn heterosexuals to death.

Chu Zihang turned off the campus news, put his hands on his forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.Sure enough, Mingfei would still miss him, but the way he expressed it was a bit extreme.He will graduate completely in half a year, and then he will become a full-fledged commissioner of the executive department and be sent to various parts of the world for routine duties.The Oslo branch is very satisfied with his performance during the internship, and he is likely to continue to be stationed in Norway. It is said that the Korean branch is also looking forward to his joining, because the Korean branch also runs a performing arts business and has produced several sky groups , the Korean branch thinks he has this potential.But now it seems that the academy will not send him to any branch. Even if Professor Schneider doesn't consider his own feelings, he still has to consider Lu Mingfei's feelings.Otherwise, once the S-level anger is ignited, there is not even an effective fire extinguisher, and the college will suffer heavy losses. Even if the headmaster is not crazy, Professor Manstein will be crazy.

"Mingfei, I saw that you made the headlines again tonight. It's a good thing to be in the headlines, but it hurts your health. I don't want to see you sick when I go back. Don't worry, my end mission is coming to an end , I will be back soon. This time I brought you a gift, and the content will be kept secret for the time being, but it is a shiny thing, and I think you will like it."

Chu Zihang then continued to record the paused audio. After recording, he listened to it again to confirm that it was correct, dragged the three audios into the email attachment, and pressed "Send All".

"The email was not sent successfully and has been stored in the draft box. Please check your network link."

This is the first time this has happened since he boarded the ship. The YAMAL has a dedicated satellite signal transceiver station, and it stands to reason that there should be no network connection problems.He picked up the landline and called the service center. The service center apologized and said that he had just received a report from the communication cabin. It may be because of an abnormal magnetic field that all external communications on the YAMAL have been interrupted. Please try later.The waiter also reassured him that the ship itself was not in danger. After all, it was an icebreaker that had sailed to the North Pole, and the Greenland Sea did not pose a challenge to it at all.

Chu Zihang put down the phone, screams came from outside the porthole, it sounded like the tourists were in a state of extreme excitement.He looked out through the porthole, and there were many people gathered on the deck.

Chu Zihang hesitated for a moment, put on a windbreaker and walked out of the cabin.

The author has something to say: Whenever I see that the collection is getting less and less, I will feel a little joy in my heart (ˉ▽ ̄~)~~ This time my ears are finally clean.

Those who have time are welcome to watch.In addition, if I change positions, I will definitely notify everyone. I am also afraid of trouble.
