Do androids dream of the sun?

Du Ningqi's speed was faster than expected, but news came to Zhong Ziyang within three days.Mr. Master was unexpectedly easy to talk, and when Du Ningqi finished speaking, he said without hesitation that he could see Xiao Le, but he was frightened at the ball just now, and his old physical problem happened again. He was ordered to rest for a period of time before he could meet guests in person.

It doesn't matter to Zhong Ziyang and Xiao Le, anyway, Zhong Ziyang has been very free recently, and he can be free any day.This is mainly because of Lance. The fire at the ball has been determined to be a man-made accident. The instigator is undoubtedly openly challenging his power and making a big mess for him. The despondent Lance rages in his office almost every day. Even the NHPD was strictly ordered to find the arsonist within the time limit, but the case has not progressed.Lance was even more anxious, his old illness relapsed, and he was bedridden for several days, so he had no time to trouble Zhong Ziyang.

In addition, there is no research plan recently, Zhong Ziyang simply speeds up his work, leaves work early every day, spends time in the studio doing his own small research as soon as he gets home, occasionally goes out for dinner with Xiao Le, and takes a stroll around. For comfort.

There was only one problem, maybe because of that sudden kiss, the atmosphere between Zhong Ziyang and Xiao Le began to become a little weird.

The most important thing is that Zhong Ziyang's attitude is very strange.Occasionally, he would show his alienation towards Xiao Le, but he would automatically return to his original state after a short while. Xiao Le felt very at a loss for his repeated changes, thinking that he was making Zhong Ziyang angry, so he would send a candy every now and then, causing Zhong Ziyang to make a fuss On the contrary, I am very embarrassed.

What's even more strange is that the number of times he stared at Xiao Le in ecstasy also increased rapidly, each time for five to 10 minutes, and then looked away as if nothing had happened, making Xiao Le baffled.Xiao Le opened his mouth to ask him, but Zhong Ziyang looked blank, unaware of it.

Xiao Le thought for a while, took out two peach-flavored candies, and put them in Zhong Ziyang's palm.

Zhong Ziyang: "???"

This period lasted for a long time, until the weather gradually warmed up, Du Ningqi finally sent a message saying that Mr. Master wanted to invite them to his house for a gathering.According to the old man, he needs to have a chat with Xiao Le first, and then make another inspection arrangement.

There are always some personal habits in their line of work, Zhong Ziyang is not surprised by this, and Xiao Le doesn't mind either, so the two accepted the old man's invitation.

It happened to be a sunny day on the day of the appointment, and even the haze had dissipated a lot. The sun was bright and warm, which is a rare good weather.Mr. Master lives in the suburb of District A. This suburb is just a name. In fact, it is a villa area with strict security, beautiful mountains and clear waters, and a quiet atmosphere. The price of one square meter is comparable to the entire floor of Zhong Ziyang's apartment. The environment is very suitable For the elderly, most of the people who live in it are retired big shots.

Mr. Master's villa is definitely the most eye-catching one by the artificial lake. It looks like a huge pure white shell, which is somewhat similar to the research center. There is a tall peach tree planted in the front yard with bare branches. Interlaced with each other, it is a pity that the spring day is getting shorter every year, and I don't know what a shocking scene the flowering will be.

Du Ningqi is obviously a frequent visitor here. Not only does he have an exclusive parking space at Mr. Master's house, but the old butler politely calls him Young Master. When Zhong Ziyang heard this, he couldn't help but looked at him a few more times Eye.

Du Ningqi smiled a little embarrassedly: "I used to come to the teacher's house often to ask for advice. I was misunderstood by the guests a few times, and everyone called it a joke."

"This is not a joke, Master Ning." The butler smiled and bowed, "Three, this way please."

The Master's house is not as extravagant as Lance's. It has the gentle style of the old gentleman everywhere. The furnishings are simple and elegant, and it looks very comfortable to the eyes.The old butler took them to the sofa to sit down and served tea, and Master just happened to walk down the stairs slowly.

Master is now 70 years old, and his body is still healthy. He has had enough rest in bed some time ago, and now he looks hale and hearty, with a pair of blue eyes shining with wisdom.He has worked in the memory research center for many years, and his temperament is exactly the same as that there, gentle and kind, and Du Ningqi's character is probably influenced by him a lot.

"Hello." Master looked at the three of them with a smile, and finally looked at Du Ningqi, "Ning Qi, you haven't been here for a long time. The last time we met was at a dance."

A trace of unease and embarrassment flashed across Du Ningqi's face, and he explained softly: "I've been on a business trip recently, and I just returned to the city on the day of the dance, and I still have some work to do, so I didn't find time until today. teacher."

"So that's why it's more important to work."

Even though Master said so, his eyes became a bit intriguing. Du Ningqi was afraid that he would see something else, so he quickly got up and poured him a cup of tea, and wanted to introduce Zhong Ziyang and Xiao Le to him, but he did not He waved his hand and said in a familiar tone: "I have heard of Ziyang's name. You are an excellent designer. I heard that the JZ-[-] model has received a good response in C and D areas. Congratulations."

Such an evaluation made Zhong Ziyang feel flattered, and thanked him repeatedly while holding his teacup.

Master turned his eyes to Xiao Le, stared at him for a long time, and sighed in a low voice: "You are back."

Du Ningqi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xiao Le with a surprised expression.

Zhong Ziyang was quite calm, he knew some inside information, he only thought that Mattes recognized Xiao Le as Louis.But Mattes's words sounded familiar. It seemed that He Man had said the same thing when he saw Xiao Le for the first time. Zhong Ziyang touched his chin. Could it be that Sister Man also knew Louis?

He didn't dare to think deeply, the mystery surrounding Xiao Le was already a mess, it was already difficult enough to figure out the relationship between Louis and him, if another person came in, it would only add to the chaos.

With a cold face, Xiao Le retorted very directly: "I'm not him."

Although Du Ningqi was confused, he still opened his mouth to save the situation at the right time: "Teacher, did you admit the wrong person? He is the Xiao Le I mentioned to you."

"Ah, yes, it is true that when people are old, it is easy to be fooled. I'm sorry, Xiao Le." Master seemed to suddenly realize, showing an apologetic smile, and said slowly, "I have heard Ning Qi say that I wonder if I can talk to you alone?"

Xiao Le pursed the corners of his lips, and glanced at Zhong Ziyang, who smiled and made an encouraging gesture to him, before he nodded slightly, stood up and followed Master to the study on the first floor.

As soon as they left, Du Ningqi couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Ziyang, do you think the teacher really admitted the wrong person just now?"

Recalling Master's expression, Zhong Ziyang felt a little strange, and he was not sure at once. He couldn't reveal Louis' secret, so he could only bite his tea and shake his head: "I don't know, probably."

Seeing that he said the same thing, Du Ningqi had no choice but to give up.

The chat in Master's mouth really refers to ordinary chat.

He let Xiao Le sit on the sofa, and ordered the housekeeper to make a new pot of tea.This pot of tea is obviously different from the one in the living room. Just by smelling it, it is fragrant and refreshing. It is the best tea.Xiao Le drank a small cup, his heart unexpectedly calmed down a lot, and his face also eased.

Master filled the small cup for him, and asked softly, "Your name is Xiao Le? Which music?"

Xiao Le remembered Zhong Ziyang's reaction when he heard the name for the first time, and replied: "Happy Le."

"It's a good name. The person who named you must hope that you will be safe and happy." Master nodded, his tone a little emotional, "In this era, it is very difficult to be happy. , This is a very heartfelt blessing."

Xiao Le didn't speak, in fact, he didn't even know what happiness is.

Master continued: "I heard that you are living in Ziyang's house now, are you doing well?"

"Yeah." Xiao Le said lightly, "He's fine."

"Of course, he is a good boy." Master smiled slightly and asked, "Then what do you usually do at home?"

Xiao Le gave him a strange look, and told the truth.

The questions he asked next were similar, they were all trivial matters, he asked whoever he thought of, and it had nothing to do with the inspection anyway.Master's kind and sincere eyes made Xiao Le feel no danger. Most of the questions were answered, and occasionally he encountered some questions that he didn't want to answer. As long as he was silent for a moment, Master would jump to other topics, and the atmosphere was not at all. will be embarrassing.

Later, on a whim, Master invited Xiao Le to visit his study.

"These are the medals and trophies I won before. After I retire, these are all empty, so they are just for display." Master introduced him enthusiastically, "Oh, this shelf is all about me. A photo with a friend."

Xiao Le glanced at one of the photo frames. In the photo, the young man who looked exactly like him was sitting next to Master. He was wearing casual clothes, and his demeanor was not so harsh. There was still a smile on the corner of his mouth. Compared with the group photo of Lance, the difference in attitude is quite obvious.Xiao Le wondered inexplicably, would he look like this when he laughed?

Pointing at it, Master said cheerfully to Xiao Le: "His name is Louis, he is my best friend, and he is the smartest person I have ever met. I guess, you have seen his photo before, right? ?”

Xiao Le gave a cold "hmm".

Master turned to him and said with a meaningful smile: "You seem to be hostile to him, can you tell me why?"

Xiao Le frowned, he probably knew the reason was Zhong Ziyang.Maybe it's because Zhong Ziyang's eyes always light up when he mentions him, maybe it's because he looks exactly like him.If he looked into the reason carefully, he couldn't tell.

Seeing him like this, Master didn't continue to question him. After leading him to look at other places in the study, he said, "Okay, let's stop here today, we should go out too."

In the living room, Zhong Ziyang was chatting vigorously with Du Ningqi, when he heard the sound of the study door, they both turned their heads and stared at Master and Xiao Le behind him.

Master smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, we just chatted casually about trivial matters."

Xiao Le sat back beside Zhong Ziyang, who asked softly, "Really?"

Xiao Le nodded.Zhong Ziyang was very at a loss and really couldn't figure out what the old man was thinking.

Fortunately, Master didn't forget his business, and immediately said: "As for his memory, I do have a solution, but it's best for me to check him personally."

Zhong Ziyang almost jumped up from the sofa, he turned around and hugged Xiao Le, who was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Look, as I said, there must be a way."

Master set a time and place for the next meeting with them, and specifically told Du Ningqi that he should also be present, and that he must find time if he had no time, and Du Ningqi reluctantly agreed.

Zhong Ziyang was uneasy when he came in, but when he left, most of his worries had been put down, he was refreshed, and he even wanted Nia to cook a steak to celebrate.

As soon as they stepped out of the gate, a handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes walked up to him, his eyes swept over the three people who came out of the villa, and fell on Du Ningqi.The old butler stood on the steps, bowed to him and said, "Master Aaron, you are back."

Du Ningqi looked at him with a flash of unease.
