Xu didn't expect Alice to express it so directly, the professor was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and took out a business card from the document bag and handed it to Alice.

There was no introduction in the business card, just the name and contact number, simple and generous, although Alice didn't know whether she would accept his invitation, she still accepted it.

"If you want to come to the institute to help, call this number."

Little Fresh Meat Kesi was still standing aside, and Alice knew what he was thinking.

"Well... When will Alice have dinner together?"

"Uh... what on earth do you want?"

"I...I..." Kesi couldn't speak for a long time, but her face was blushing.

Alice said directly: "You like me."

"How did you know!"

"You don't stutter anymore?"

"Uh-huh."

Alice said calmly, "I have someone I like, classmate Kesi."

"So you don't like me?"

"I don't like you, but it has nothing to do with the hair."

"What do you say……"

"I mean, we don't want to see each other in the end, your attention bothers me... Actually, I just want to be ordinary friends with you."

Kesi smiled bitterly, "I don't think we can be friends."

In the afternoon, Alice went to various places in City A to find a job, but the Chinese-English translator and the restaurant staff all said that the scar on her face hindered the appearance of the city, so they rejected her.

She touched the business card in her bag and began to waver. Maybe she should agree to the professor, but in the end she decided to try the last one, which is the SPP building that recruits hand models.

It's on NJ Road, 115.

As soon as Alice went in, she saw a lot of girls filling out forms.

"Are you here to apply for a job?"

Alice nodded.

"What are you applying for?"

Alice was stunned, you posted the online recruitment information yourself, don't you know what to recruit?

"Hand model."

The service staff gave her the same form as the other girls and asked her to fill it out.

Alice sat blankly in the corner, looking at the... on the form, and suddenly felt confused, what is the relationship between hand models and measurements?

Alice saw two girls who were filling out the form suddenly stand up and said that they had to go back first. All eyes turned to them. They handed the form to the service staff. Alice saw that it was scribbled and changed, just like graffiti Yes, this made her pay attention.

The two apologized and left quickly. Alice looked at their backs and couldn't sit still at first.

"Have you filled it out?"

The service staff said that her eyes kept staring at Alice as if she wanted to see something from it. Alice's body trembled, and she always felt a little uneasy, especially when she saw the panic of a certain girl who left.

"Oh, I'm sorry, it's still close." Alice blotted out all important information such as her ID card, put it on the sofa, and hurriedly said that she would go outside to answer the phone.

The other party raised his eyelids, glanced a few times, and said nothing.

Alice quickened her pace, and when she got downstairs, she happened to see the two girls just now.

"Hey, hello."

The two girls stopped and looked at Alice defensively.

"I'm the person who was interviewing with you just now. I saw that you left and didn't seem to have an interview. You looked very anxious, which made me a little uneasy, so I didn't go to the interview."

The girls naturally relaxed their vigilance when they heard Alice's explanation.

"Did you fill in your ID card when you came down?"

Faced with the other party's question, Alice nodded frankly. The other party explained the disadvantages of a person's ID being leaked at will, and that the company just now may not be formal. Many of them are using the psychology of the masses to deceive the other party into signing the contract. So as to restrain the other party from having to obey obediently.

Alice explained: "I'm just a candidate for a hand model."

"Don't the higher-ups ask you to fill in your measurements? If some companies really want to kill you, there are always thousands of ways."

The two girls saw that Alice looked scared, and hurriedly patted each other on the back, saying that she was smart and fortunately escaped, and forget about the past.

"There are still people on the top who have been cheated, why don't you speak out."

The two girls frowned and said, "It's their own choice, not to mention... the people over there are almost all their people."

To put it bluntly, in the arena, just keep yourself. Although Alice was dissatisfied, she didn't say anything, because she didn't dare to go back and expose it, so why would she ask others to do it.

None of us are good people.

Alice took out a business card from her pocket, with Ai Qing written on it.After hesitating for a few seconds, he still made a call.

The call will be connected soon...

"Hello."

There was a lazy voice on the phone, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

"Hi...I'm Alice Colvis."

Alice replied softly, feeling very upset.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to call so soon."

The other party is obviously much more energetic.

"I want to ask when can I start working?"

The other party was silent for a while.

"Are you sure you want to be my experimental assistant?"

"Yes."

"Very tired."

"It's okay, so when?" Alice didn't like the other party's politeness or the attitude of going around in circles at all. You can imagine that she is more straightforward.

"Uh... don't worry, why don't you come to the laboratory tonight. Oh, no, I lent the key to the laboratory to my friend, or the day after tomorrow."

"Alright, thank you very much for giving me a job."

"Don't say thank you or not, let's have a meal together later?"

Alice hesitated, but agreed.

The dinner was at "Queen's Strawberry", a relatively prosperous western restaurant in City A. Alice was wearing a lavender dress and was sitting by the window.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting, something happened." A tall man with OHNLOBB men's black leather shoes and a casual Italian black suit said with a smile on his face.

"It's okay, so are you okay?"

The man nodded.

"Have you ordered yet?"

"not yet."

"I know the owner of this store quite well, so I can ask him to recommend it."

At this time, a European man in a fat chef's uniform came to their table and said hello to the professor.

"Oh, long time no see, Mr. Ai Qing."

"You too." Ai Qing replied with a smile.

"This should be your girlfriend. Pretty chick, I'm treating you today."

The chef turned his head and said to Alice, the lack of understanding in his eyes made Alice feel helpless. (Did you get it?)

Alice hurriedly explained: "No, it's so embarrassing, and we are not a couple."

"Come on, girls like to pretend to be shy to increase their value. Listen to me girl, this guy saved me, he is a rare good man. I will find you some candles."

The man smiled, as if he didn't see the restraint of the other party, and he was not in a hurry to explain.

Alice inexplicably felt that this scene was somewhat similar, and she even felt the deep malice from the world.

"You saved him?"

"Mr Sid was my patient."

"Aren't you a professor of psychology?"

"Uh, yes, and also a psychiatrist."

Professor Ai Qing said with a smile: "It's just a private clinic, but now it's also serving as the school's temporary health doctor. If you have any troubles, you can come to the psychological consultation room to find me."

The man shook the red wine on the table lightly, and it smelled evil.

The melodious violin surrounds my ears, and the dim lights bring an ambiguous atmosphere.

"Drink some wine." The man raised his glass and said, looking through the glass, he looked at the bright red liquid inside, and gently shook it to reveal a hint of fragrance.

"The pulp of the grapes used to make red wine contains powerful antioxidants. The SOD in it can neutralize the free radicals produced by the body, protect cells and organs from oxidation, and restore the skin's whitening and luster. It is a wine that is highly sought after by women. .”

Alice took a sip of the drink as if she had been tempted, and suddenly felt that the tip of her tongue was as fresh and eager as a person in the desert encountering rain, dew and sweet spring.

"Why don't you wear glasses?"

"Glasses make me look serious, so students will be obedient and patients will feel reliable."

"If it's with you, then you don't need it."

Alice felt a little dizzy inexplicably. She deeply understood that the man sitting opposite must be a battle-tested playboy, but she was still seduced by his rhetoric.

Girls like the feeling of being regarded as a treasure, holding it for fear of breaking, holding it for fear of melting, and finally falling into this kind of tenderness, unable to extricate themselves, especially girls who have been hurt again and again, they yearn for, At the same time, she was also afraid that maybe she would never be able to afford something as heavy as love, so McCoff would reject her, as Sherlock said, she was too fragile.

"I appreciate your willingness to give me a job."

Perhaps it was because of thinking of McCoff that Alice sobered up a lot for a while.

"I just gave you this chance. If you don't do well in the follow-up, I will still fire you."

Alice nodded in understanding.

"Although it's a bit offensive, have you ever thought about removing the scars on your face?"

"Did you say plastic surgery?"

Alice subconsciously stroked the scar on her face. At that time, the gunshot reminded her how much she liked that person to be by her side, but it was impossible... In the world of Mycroft Holmes, there will always be Only his work, as Sherlock said, they are all married to their work.

What is she then?

It just stood there, and then kept wandering.

Professor Ai Qing smiled, nodded and said, "After all, you girls should like to be beautiful."

Alice thought for a while and took a sip of red wine: "Professor Ai Qing, what kind of person do you think is suitable for plastic surgery?"

"..."

Alice saw that Professor Ai Qing would be speechless for a while, so she asked again: "Who do you think is not suitable for plastic surgery?"

Dr. Ai Qing said in a tentative tone: "Already very beautiful?"

"First of all, people who are very concerned about their appearance and feel pity for themselves are not suitable for plastic surgery."

"Because the most important thing in this world is appearance, no matter how much you do it, you can't achieve the effect she wants, and it will enter a cycle from now on."

"And I happen to be that kind of person."

"Second, don't trust doctors."

"Third, I don't want to do any surgery. Appearance is my own internal affairs. No matter how ugly it is, it has nothing to do with others."

The professor looked at Alice deeply, and said, "I think the third one should be what you really want to talk about."

"Yes."

"This scar has a special meaning to me."

When the two of them walked out of the restaurant, it was raining heavily outside... The cold wind blew from time to time, making Alice unbearable.

"It's so late, why don't you go to my house for one night, the school is too far away, and it's so late, it's probably hard to find someone to open the door."

Alice looked at him hesitantly.

The man jokingly said: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in your small body."

Alice hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, thinking about what the key dared to do to her, she left and returned to London in a few minutes, looking for McCoff to avenge herself.

Professor Ai Qing lives in a small bungalow, but the garden is very big. After Ai Qing ordered the housekeeper to prepare a room for her, he didn't take care of her anymore, which reassured Alice a lot.

After drinking a glass of milk prepared by the maid, Alice sat in front of the window and watched the scenery. It was raining heavily, and the raindrops were the size of beans. It suddenly occurred to Alice that a long time ago, because she thought her brother had a high IQ Expressing dissatisfaction, she later said that people's IQ can actually be improved, so she joined a blog group.

One day, someone in the group asked: Will a drop of water fall from a very high place kill people?

There is also an old saying in China that water drips through stone.Alice, a pseudo-British person with a certain "Chinese cultural awareness", expressed concern.

So the blog became lively. One person explained that using acceleration, as the object falls, the gravity formula will be several times the original, and a few people will start various formulas and reasoning to measure the resistance of the object. It also took a lot of effort. Although she didn't understand it very well, her profound appearance made Alice feel that her IQ had also increased a lot.

Alice couldn't wait to share this matter with McCoff, and saw the other party sitting on the sofa very calmly, drinking the coffee just made by the butler, and asked with a smile: "Have you never been exposed to rain?"

At that moment Alice felt as if she was mentally retarded.

So it didn't take long for her to quit the blog, she said that if she stayed on, she would not be as simple as mentally handicapped...

The rain outside gradually stopped, and everything became very quiet.

Perhaps it was because she was staying at someone else's house. Alice didn't sleep well. When she got up, she realized it was only past three in the morning. She was so bored that she couldn't stand it, so she ran to the balcony to watch the scenery.

The air after the rain lacked the sweet smell of fruit, which smelled very good. Taking a deep breath, I felt much better physically and mentally.

Alice was about to go back to her room to sleep, when she suddenly saw a figure in the garden, perhaps because the guest room was on the second floor, she could see clearly that it was Professor Ai Qing's housekeeper.

He looked a little sneaky, and Alice squatted down, leaning against the corner and watching him secretly.

She lowered her head and caught a glimpse of something in the butler's hand, which flickered with a lack of translucent luster under the moonlight.

The housekeeper rubbed the thing, brought a flowerpot, wrapped the thing and buried it in the flowerpot, and then walked away quietly.

Alice felt strange, but couldn't resist the drowsiness, so she went back to sleep.

The next day, when Alice came to the living room, she found that the situation in the living room seemed wrong, and everyone seemed to be crying.

Professor Ai Qing stood in the center, nodded when he saw Alice, and greeted her to eat.

"What happened?"

The professor hesitated for a while, but told Alice about the matter.

It turned out that Ai Qing found out that the diamond left by his mother was missing this morning. The diamond was kept in his study, but he seldom noticed it. It was like opening the box on a whim this morning, and it turned out to be gone. People rushed to find him and called the police.

"When will the police come?"

"Let's have a meeting."

The butler glanced at it, and said in a strange way, this thing was not stolen sooner or later, but the guests disappeared when they came.

When Alice heard this, didn't she point fingers at Sang and scold Huai.

Alice wanted to argue a few words, but Professor Ai Qing reprimanded the butler first, and Alice couldn't say anything.

Alice ate her breakfast bit by bit, feeling that the servants around her looked at her with colored eyes.So Alice told Professor Ai Qing what she saw last night.

The housekeeper yelled that Alice had framed him, and said that he had worked in this yard for more than ten years, and he also had feelings. This place is also considered half of his family, and he would never do such a thing, saying that everything must be proved. .

Professor Ai Qing didn't say anything, but took a deep look at Alice and nodded.

Alice led everyone to the garden, pointed to the guest room where she lived, and said, "That's where I saw it."

A maid said that Alice might have read it wrong, so Alice hummed a few times and ignored her.

"There are hundreds of pots of flowers in the garden. Where are the diamonds? You can't dig out all the pots and check them." The housekeeper glanced at Alice, and the tone in his mouth made people feel very uncomfortable, especially Alice. , I am used to being a eldest lady, so I can't allow others to be rude to me, so I immediately slapped the butler. The two of them were about to fight, but they were stopped in the end.

The professor looked at Alice apologetically, and only said to let her go back first, let's forget about it, and he didn't plan to look for it anymore.

Alice knew in her heart that he wanted to leave a way out for herself, but if it wasn't her doing it, it wasn't her doing it, so Alice said stubbornly: "You don't believe me."

"It's not a question of believe it or not."

Alice picked up a pot of flowers from hundreds of flower pots and said, "The diamond should be here."

A certain maid on the side stepped forward and poured out the flower pot. With a sound, the diamond fell to the ground.

The butler immediately fell silent, and Professor Ai Qing overpaid the other party by one month's salary before letting him go.

"Why didn't you take him to the police station?"

"After all, he has been working here for many years. I heard that his child is sick and has no money for treatment. I just didn't expect him to come to this point. I guessed him, but..."

Alice was silent. She didn't know why at the moment, but she could understand the professor's first class to her. What's good?What is evil?

Alice continued, jokingly said, "I just didn't expect me to point it out?"

"How did you recognize that potted flower at a glance among these hundreds of potted words?"

"It rained last night, and there was dew on the flower pot in the garden, and the pot where the housekeeper hid the diamond was in the house before, so there was no dew. That's why I was able to find it, just looking for a pot without dew Flower pots are really a lot of work for the eyes."

The other party smiled and said that he wanted to invite Alice to dinner to make amends. Alice quickly waved her hand and said, "I haven't thanked you for giving me a job opportunity, so let's make it even."

Alice didn't know either, but the distance between the two seemed to be shortened a lot in this farce.
