This time Qin Yu fell into a deep sleep, and it was already nine o'clock in the morning when he woke up.When Bai Hanming was not there, Lin Yi was lying on the sofa in a daze. When he saw Qin Yu sitting up, he put his hands in his pockets and walked to the kitchen. While heating up the breakfast prepared by Li Huaishan, he said, "Bai Hanming is upstairs talking to you." They talk about things and let me eat with you, if you are passionate, go upstairs and call him."

Qin Yu just woke up and felt that this scene was a bit magical.Lin Yi was his landlord, and Qin Yu himself didn't seem to be that familiar with him. As for Bai Hanming, it was even more strange. In theory, they should have only met once.

Lin Yi probably understood the bewilderment on his face, and said speechlessly with a spoon in his hand, "You don't really think I'm a charterer in a slum, do you? Think about it?"

"..." Qin Yu quickly regained consciousness, "Where is he?"

"Upstairs." Lin Yi whistled lightly, "Didn't expect that your guardian has already met Bai Hanming."

He filled two bowls of porridge and brought them to the tea table.Li Huaishan is quite good at cooking, and the side dishes are well prepared.Lin Yi waited here for two hours, just waiting for this breakfast.Now that Qin Yu is awake, his task is half done, and it's time for dinner.

Qin Yu sat on the bed silently for a while, Lin Yi ignored him, took the chopsticks and started eating by himself.

After he finished his first bowl of porridge, Qin Yu got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.As soon as Lin heard the sound of him brushing his teeth at a constant speed, the thoughts in his mind spread a little: for such a dull person like Qin Yu, would bedtime be more interesting than usual?Or is it that Bo Hanming likes this hanging, the residual smell in the room almost makes him lose his sense of taste.

Qin Yu was wearing pajamas, sat down opposite him, and began to eat.Lin Yi waited for a long time but he still couldn't wait for this person to speak. He couldn't stand the silence, so he took the initiative to say, "Do you have anything to ask? 12 and Bai Hanming have met."

Qin Yu shook his head, Lin looked at him for a long time, and said, "You are really boring, what does Bai Hanming like about you? Or is your gene customization really so effective?"

This question was so difficult that even Qin Yu, the person involved, couldn't answer it.Does Berhaming like him?Probably yes.but why?

Qin Yu didn't know the answer, maybe it was really an instinct caused by genes.Berhamming's pheromone is the Connecticut shade leaf, a former cigar leaf.Its vegetation form is very beautiful, the leaves are broad and flexible, the color is a beautiful light gold, and the taste is very bitter, strong and spicy.Before the old calendar, or even before the old calendar, this kind of tobacco leaf was an expensive luxury that only the rich could enjoy.This is the taste that Berhaming's parents chose for him. It is both rare and full of taste, which is outstanding in the world.

The only downside is that he is too bitter and unique.After the atomic bombs flattened the North American continent, this vegetation became extinct.Extinction means uniqueness, uniqueness is pride, and it also represents absolute loneliness.Therefore, they customized Qin Yu.Qin Yu's pheromone is tonally sweet and straightforward, and it also comes from the deserted North American continent.In spring, dig a small hole in the ubiquitous sugar maple, and the original sap will flow out.Then heat the stock solution to evaporate the water, and it will become a sweet and rich syrup.

This flavor is very common and easily substituted.Bai Hanming's parents hope that Qin Yu can bring some comfort to Bai Han and become an appropriate pastime, but they don't want him to be too important or special.

Their wish came true after 21 years. No matter how the world turned, Qin Yu still came to Bai Hanming's side.Their flavors mix and match just as originally planned.

What Lin Yi didn't know was that 12 was indeed an enlightened parent, as he himself said.He never concealed these things from Qin Yu.After Qin Yu entered junior high school and gained enough understanding, he had already confessed all these things and gave Qin Yu a chance to choose.

Fate is wonderful, the sun is doomed to go out, and the expansion of the universe will also have an end.The encounter between Bai Hanming and Qin Yu is just the collision of two tiny individuals in the torrent of time, but what is artificially arranged cannot be called destiny itself.Qin Yu was born because of Bai Hanming, but it is not necessary to live for Bai Hanming. 12 gave him a chance to choose, stay away from Bo Hanming, or go to Bai Hanming's side.After seeing Bai Hanming from a distance, Qin Yu chose the latter.

He likes, or is full of love for this person.There is no reason for Qin Yu's love, he just missed his heartbeat the moment he saw Bai Hanming for the first time, but it was difficult to move his eyes away when he was following behind Bai Hanming.Sometimes he feels that his feelings are superficial and come too fast, so that he is not dignified and not worthy of a dazzling person like Bai Hanming.But sometimes, especially when he was alone in bed late at night, he thought it was good.He fell in love with Bo Hanming at first sight, whether it was because of genetic attraction or because of his superficiality, he was absolutely loyal to this feeling.

In the afternoon, Qin Yu was in good condition and sat on the wooden bench to continue the oil painting.Probably because of Bai Hanming's absence, the passion never came.Lin Yi was so bored that he went out to smoke many times during the stay.Qin Yu thought that he didn't need to stay with him, but Lin Yi didn't leave.

In fact, he had nowhere to go either. 12 and Bo Hanming occupied the upstairs room and continued their conversation. Li Huaishan went back to the city at noon to help Bo Hanming complete the deployment two days later.Lin Yi didn't want to go upstairs to listen to things he didn't understand, so he could only stay at Qin Yu's house doing nothing.Standing behind Qin Yu, he saw Qin Yu's strokes slowly outline Bai Hanming's figure.It was a figure from the back, against the light, the whole figure was walking forward, only a small half of the profile was exposed backward.

Completely different from the hesitation of the previous few days, Qin Yu already knew what to draw in his heart, and every stroke he made was decisive.

The picture became clearer and clearer. After watching it for a while, Lin suddenly said, "Actually, you know everything."

Qin Yu didn't look back, nor did he speak.Yes, he knows.

Before dark, both Bai Hanming and Li Huaishan came back, and Li Huaishan also brought a thick plush carpet.As soon as Lin finished the handover, he stepped on his beautiful boots and went back upstairs.Qin Yu covered up the unfinished oil painting, and watched Bai Hanming remove the sofa and coffee table, and spread the carpet on the open space in the living room.

The carpet was huge, and Bai Hanming sat on the floor, and let Qin Yu sit cross-legged in his arms.They have a poor body shape, which is very suitable for this posture.This time, Bai Hanming didn't play any more games, but took out the map that Qin Yu bought from the blind old man, and spread it on the carpet.

"I saw your guardian." Bai Hanming said, "We chatted for a while when you went to the Information Department and this afternoon."

"What did you talk about?" Qin Yu asked.

"It's a boring thing." Bai Hanming said, "He wants the alliance's scientific research direction to return to biological sciences in the next 20 years, and give up physics and astronomy."

"Did you agree?" Qin Yu had an intuition that Bai Hanming should not agree, otherwise he would not use "boring" to describe this matter.But he asked anyway.

"Do you want me to agree?" Bai Hanming said with a slight smile, "That's your guardian. How do you feel?"

"...We don't meet each other very often." Qin Yu answered the latter question first, and then said, "I don't know."

Bai Hanming didn't speak for a moment, he was playing with Qin Yu's hair, he inserted his fingers, gently held it, and let the hair slip away in his palm, and repeated like this.Qin Yu turned sideways and looked at him with his head half up. Bai Hanming looked at him with calm and deep eyes.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yu couldn't help asking.

"Nothing." Bai Hanming smiled, "I just think your answer is very good, because I don't know either."

It was amazing that Bai Hanming would have something he didn't know.Qin Yu leaned the back of his head on his shoulder, and Bai Hanming brushed his hand over the Northern Alliance on the map from west to east, and said to Qin Yu in a low and peaceful voice: "This is the map released in the 20th year of the new calendar. The Alliance was established. The later No.11 edition. Compared with the tenth edition, there are 45 fewer islands in the Pacific Ocean, and the countries on the east coast of the Atlantic Ocean are swallowed by sea water, and the land area is reduced.”

Qin Yu listened silently, the light of the electric heater shone on them, everything was very warm.

"The line of friction between the north and the south has been stretched, and the west area has also joined the alliance. The northern sea area has successfully advanced 240 nautical miles southward. The war looks very anxious, but we have the advantage."

Qin Yu didn't know what to say, so he nodded lightly.Bai Hanming said, "But, Qin Yu, is this true?"

Qin Yu asked softly: "Isn't it?"

"Maybe." Bai Hanming said, "If you have a chance, you can go and have a look. Pictures and texts can be forged, only the truth will not deceive you."

Qin Yu thought that he must have understood the meaning of this sentence.Just at this time yesterday, he followed 581 through the central area of ​​the Ministry of Information, where all the secrets of this country are stored in the pipeline above his head.Those pipes are not huge, but very slender. 581 said that these pipes connect every small room in the Ministry of Information.Every morning, the numbered staff sat on the round stool in the center of the room, waiting for the documents that needed to be "corrected" to fall from the pipe.Then they found the line that needed to be modified according to the instructions, and changed thirty thousand to three thousand, or added a ten in the middle of thirty thousand.

It is the easiest to modify the numbers, but it is more difficult to modify the text. Try to keep the number of words as much as possible, and do not make too many changes, so as not to be seen by others.The most difficult thing is to modify the picture.If it's something drawn, then redraw it, but if it's a photo or video record, get someone to reshoot it.Such a modification will definitely leave a loophole, but it doesn't matter.Maybe someone will remember these details in the first year, but in the second year, third year, tenth year... People will age, die, and most frighteningly, they will forget.The past is not something that cannot be changed. Human memory is too fragile.

"He wants new ethics, and biotechnology is the fastest way to change ethics." Bai Hanming held Qin Yu's hand, pressed his soft fingertips, and told him the concept of 12. 12 believes that laws and institutions are rooted in the ethical height of human groups, and the reason why wars broke out is precisely because the development of ethics lags far behind technology and production.He wants to break through the limitations of "human beings" and break past standards in this new world.When you genetically change people to eat grass*, there will be no hunger in the world, and all the troubles of hunger will disappear.And so on... More than half of the contradictions of human beings stem from the weakness of the self, and biotechnology can solve all problems.

In 20 years, 12 and the team behind him think they only need 20 years.How cheap and good their proposal is compared to space exploration with no path to see.

"Did you agree?" Qin Yu already knew the answer.

Sure enough, Bai Hanming smiled: "No. This road is too big, and I am not the one who can make this decision. Everything we do is not to make ourselves this person."

Qin Yu wanted to ask, what was that for.But asking blindly won't bring them any closer.He wanted to understand Bo Hanming, and what he wanted more was to understand.He didn't completely understand that although Bo Hanming and Xi Ye looked proud, they never seemed to be really condescending when facing things that were bigger than them.

Perhaps Qin Yu's previous thinking was wrong. Bai Hanming did not stand on a very high mountain, he only stood on his own place.

"It will be a bit messy for a while, I will ask Huaishan to take you to another place." Bai Hanming sat holding him for a long time, and they almost just hugged him like this throughout the night.Qin Yu nodded and didn't ask when to leave.Lin Yi was right, in fact he knew all about it.

The author has something to say:

*It is a short story by Da Liu, "The Age of Angels", which tells about a certain doctor doing genetic experiments in Africa, turning the human stomach into a herbivorous like a cow.A lot of ethics are discussed.

And, this article is actually coming to an end~
