Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 188 Kiss

Lu Yao was stunned.

I couldn't help but complain:
"You've found the right person."

His alcohol tolerance... well, I guess he doesn't even have the qualifications to sit at the table with children in Shandong Province.

You have to squat to eat.

Hearing his words, Xu Ruochu smiled and handed him the wine bottle and the seahorse knife.

Lu Yao looked at the wine bottle.

Well, I don’t know.

"Rafi?"

“Romanee-Conti.”

"…I think I've heard of this name before."

As for Lu Yao's words, Xu Ruochu took the initiative to explain:

"In the wine world, it can be said to be the best winery in the world. The French say it is a hidden gem from the gods, and it is also recognized as the purest wine in the world. As for history... it can be traced back to the 11th century, which is very old. As for analogy... you can think of it as Hermès in the fashion world. Of course, this is the glory of Hermès."

"understood."

Lu Yao nodded, looked at the deep red liquid that looked no different from ordinary wine, and smiled:
"If someone brings this up in the future, I won't be completely ignorant."

"no need."

After handing him a glass of red wine worth an unknown amount of money, Xu Ruochu, who sat on another chair, shook his head naturally:

“In any situation where you need to use this useless knowledge to communicate, there will always be someone responsible for this matter. They don’t care whether you know Romanee-Conti or not. They just need to use the history, vintage, flavor, etc. of this bottle of wine to embellish their own erudition or to bring each other closer. It is useless knowledge and you don’t need it.”

"..."

Lu Yao was somewhat speechless:

"You mean I can't show off?"

Xu Ruochu smiled slightly:

"Do you need to show off? Mr. Xu Ruochu's boyfriend."

"Uh……"

"Ha~"

After expressing her joking intention with laughter, she continued:

"Besides, your brain shouldn't be wasted on these things. Right?"

"…Are you praising me for being a little genius?"

"The national champion is just a little genius?"

The words that the royal sister said under her somewhat surprised eyes made Lu Yao couldn't help laughing out loud:

"Haha, I feel embarrassed for saying that."

"Then let's have a drink."

Looking at the cup she handed over, Lu Yao clinked his lips with hers.

Red wine entrance...

To be honest, Lu Yao felt that it was indeed delicious. But if he really wanted to distinguish the specific flavor, that was beyond his understanding.

But it feels really good to drink by the fire.

Especially the atmosphere.

It was quiet except for the crackling sound of the wood burning in the stove.

One can't help but feel a strangely quiet atmosphere, as if time has stopped in this room.

"What are you thinking?"

During this short period of silence, Xu Ruochu turned his head two or three times, and seeing that Lu Yao was still in a daze, he couldn't help but ask softly.

Lu Yao came back to his senses.

After looking at her, he smiled and said:
"I said I was thinking about the radio frequency chip. Do you believe me, Sister Chu?"

"Why don't you believe it?"

Xu Ruochu nodded:

"Do you have any need to deceive me?"

"Hehe, Sister Chu is really easy to deceive."

"Ha~"

A smile appeared on her face again, and she took a sip from the cup.

She knew that Lu Yao couldn't drink much.

At this moment, she...just wanted to chat with him.

There was no intention of getting him drunk.

After all...it's been a long time since the two of them have been alone in a room like this.

"That radio frequency chip is difficult to deal with? ... You were so busy with it during the day that you forgot to pack your luggage, right?"

"Ah."

Lu Yao responded, clinked his glass with hers, sipped the sour taste, and continued:
"It's not that difficult. Once the parasitic effect is resolved, the rest will be easy. All you have to do is make friends with time... I'm just thinking about its purpose."

"Use? ...Oh yes, you said it is suitable for installation on missiles."

"I used it as an example, but I didn't say it would necessarily be suitable for installation on missiles."

"…But from what you said, it can also be used for military purposes?"

"Ah."

Lu Yao nodded.

Of course it can be used for military purposes.

In other words, this chip was originally designed for military use.

But it can also be used for civilian purposes, just with a downgrade in specifications.

However, judging by Lu Yao’s experience, once a technology is adopted by the military, it will take at least the length of Moore’s Law to obtain civilian authorization.

That is 18 to 24 months.

However, Xu Ruochu's train of thought at this moment was very strange. After getting his confirmation, he suddenly said:

"So can it be understood that once you successfully develop this model, it will probably be difficult for you to go abroad again in your lifetime?"

Lu Yao was stunned.

I couldn't help but look at her.

Suddenly he laughed:

"Sister Chu, do you know what the greatest advantage of being born in the Celestial Empire is?"

Although his words were incoherent, Xu Ruochu followed the conversation between the two and nodded:
"Our country is very big. Even if you don't go abroad, you can still go to many places."

"haha, yes."

"…I should be thankful. If I were born in Korea or Japan…"

"Tsk tsk, the sky is falling."

"Ha~"

Xu Ruochu smiled and drank the wine in the glass.

Then he poured himself another glass.

Then I heard Lu Yao muttering:
"So... we can't fall behind, right? Because if we fall behind we will be beaten. Our rise is an inevitable historical process, and no one can stop it."

Hearing this, the royal sister turned her head again and looked at him.

This time, she did not want to laugh at his naivety as she did when she first heard Lu Yao, who was still a high school student, say "My country needs me".

Because... he has actually matured a lot.

Moreover, this maturity is visible to the naked eye.

When he was my assistant, I didn't feel anything special.

But...only after Xiao Min felt the difference in the adults, could she understand what kind of maturity the former high school student had.

Like now.

In Xu Ruochu's eyes, he was just like this bottle of Romanee-Conti.

It is so mellow that one can’t help but get intoxicated.

So she raised her glass:
"Treasure it."

Lu Yao nodded and picked up the cup:
"To our mother."

He drank the wine in one gulp.

Seeing this, the royal sister also chose to accompany him.

There was only half a bottle of 01 Romanee-Conti left.

Xu Ruochu took off his shoes, curled up on the recliner, and stared at the flames in a daze again.

She is actually a person who is easily satisfied.

At this moment.

he is.

that's it.

That's great.

Feeling relaxed, she covered her mouth and nose and yawned.

After hearing this, Lu Yao turned around and asked her:

"Chujie, are you sleepy?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired."

"It's really tiring to travel such a long distance...why don't you take a rest?"

"No, stay a little longer."

She curled up her legs and shook her head slightly:

"I haven't talked to you for a long time. I want to spend some time with you."

"..."

Lu Yao was stunned.

But at this time, Xu Ruochu, realizing that he had said the wrong thing, also chose to quickly check Lu Yao's expression.

The two of them just stared at each other.

look at each other.

They avoided each other's gaze.

Turn around.

The atmosphere just became quiet.

It's even a little embarrassing.

Xu Ruochu picked up the glass and took another sip of wine.

Want to calm down my heated mind.

But... this wine is stored at a constant temperature and humidity, so there is no sense of "coldness" at all.

One sip does not quench your thirst.

She took another drink.

But the more she drank, the hotter her cheeks felt.

Then he couldn't help but sneak a peek at the older boy next to him.

She was a little unsure whether Lu Yao, who was staring at the flames intently, was really in a daze.

But... after making sure that he wasn't looking at her, she couldn't take her eyes off him.

Then she saw the older boy's face start to turn red little by little.

From cheeks, to ears, to neck...

Her eyes narrowed instinctively, and her focused pupils carefully scanned his profile bit by bit.

I am delighted to see it.

Subconsciously, she picked up the cup and wanted to take another sip.

At this moment, a cell phone ring broke the silence.

Lu Yao took out his cell phone from his pocket and looked at it...

"Sister Xiaoli?"

"……Um."

Lu Yao responded and showed her the phone screen.

"..."

Xu Ruochu's mood suddenly became complicated.

Lu Yao answered the phone:

"Hey."

"……Hey?"

There was no sound on the other end of the line.

"Hey, can you hear me?"

I guess the signal on Hu Li's end is not very good.

He could only hang up and wait for his girlfriend to call again.

At this moment, he heard the sound of shoes rubbing against each other.

Turning around, I saw Xu Ruochu had already stepped on his shoes:
"I'm going to rest..."

"Uh, okay, Chujie."

Lu Yao nodded, and Xu Ruochu also stood up.

But...she didn't leave immediately, but suddenly walked to his side.

"...?"

Lu Yao subconsciously looked up, somewhat puzzled:

"what's wrong?"

"Jingle Bell……"

At the same time, the phone rang again.

"..."Xu Ruochu looked down at him.

It's like making a decision.

The previous second, I was confused.

But the next second, it was as if a fire ignited in his eyes and burned.

She quickly bent down and gave Lu Yao a gentle kiss on the cheek.

"!"

"...?"

"?????"

Lu Yao's expression changed from surprise to subconscious confusion, and finally to helplessness.

Then, I heard the royal sister, whose cheeks were also red, whisper:
"Rest early, good night."

"????"

what?
I……

Lu Yao subconsciously wanted to say something, but she had already fled from the small living room.

That was a true sign of fleeing.

Walking hurriedly and quickly.

"...????"

Lu Yao was even more confused.

She kissed me?
Did she kiss me just now?
Kiss me…???

"Jingle Bell……"

The phone continued to ring like a death warrant.

Lu Yao was shocked, blinked, was dazed and puzzled.

But instinctively I answered the phone:

"…Hello, baby, can you hear me?…Hello?"

"Uh... Hey, I heard you."

Lu Yao answered subconsciously.

Then I heard the sound of a door closing.

With a "bang".

"Ah, I'm really impressed by the poor signal from the UK..."

I heard my girlfriend's complaints over the phone.

But his mind had completely strayed.

In the bedroom.

Thump thump thump thump…

Xu Ruochu buried his head in the pillow and slapped the mattress violently with his legs.

It's like swimming.

At this moment, her exposed ears were completely red.

This shows the ups and downs in one's heart.

After a long while, she finally felt a sense of suffocation and rubbed her face out of the pillow.

Her hair was disheveled and her cheeks were still red.

There was a complex expression on his face, containing joy, confusion and even embarrassment.

But... in this mixed battlefield, joy gradually prevailed along with the panting.

At some point, the only expression left on her face was blushing joy.

Other emotions have long since collapsed, leaving nothing behind.

Instinctively, she put her finger to her lips.

As if he was savoring something.

Then...

"hey-hey……"

A happy low laugh echoed in the room.

But it didn't last for more than a few seconds, and he buried his head in the pillow again in embarrassment:

"Woooooooo..."

The legs began to flap again.

……

Tuesday, early morning.

Fuhua playground.

Bai Yao looked at the time, thought for a moment, and took out her phone.

"Toot...toot...uh...Hello. Senpai."

Hearing Lu Yao's still somewhat tired voice, she asked:
"You haven't gotten up yet?"

"No... ah?... Oh right... Senior, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you that I can't go today."

"…Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Hearing Lu Yao's words, she asked with concern.

"No."

Lu Yao sat up from the bed, rubbed his face, and said:

"I'm in Yanjing. I was so busy yesterday that I forgot to tell you. I might not be back until Thursday or Friday."

"...?"

Bai Yao on the other end of the phone was stunned and asked subconsciously:
"What are you going to do in Yanjing?"

"Sister Chu and I came here to do something."

When she heard the word "Chu Jie", Senior Sister Leng Yan frowned.

That cool temperament spread all of a sudden.

"You went with Xu Ruochu?"

"Yes, I have some things to do here, so I will probably be here for a few days. So I won't be able to work out with you these days."

"...Okay, I understand. Then you go ahead and do your work. I won't wait for you."

"Well, okay. I'll contact Senior when I get back."

"Dudu."

Bai Yao didn't respond and just hung up the phone.

Then a look of annoyance appeared on his face.

She even started biting her nails unconsciously.

The more I think about it, the more unhappy I become.

Yanjing, a tiny place.

It doesn’t matter what you want.

What can you do there for three or four days?

What's there in that place? Just stay for three or four days?

She became increasingly irritated.

But Lu Yao still didn't tell her what he was doing there.

She was unhappy.

He bit his nails harder and harder.

It took her a long time to adjust her mood.

Then she started warming up.

After the warm-up, I stepped onto the playground and started running.

And the running speed was much faster than before.

She was very upset and needed to vent.

……

"Good morning, Luyao."

"Uh... Good morning, Chujie."

When Lu Yao came out after washing up, Xu Ruochu, who was also dressed neatly, was walking towards this side.

"I was just about to call you. Come on, let's go have breakfast. Let's go look at that software today. After we're done, let's go shopping and buy some clothes."

"……OK."

Lu Yao nodded subconsciously.

I was even a little confused, wondering whether the kiss with the scent of roses last night was real or fake.

Did you really drink too much and have hallucinations?
He was a little speechless, but he also knew that it was useless to think about these things at this time.

The other party obviously has the attitude of "I know nothing", so it is not easy to ask, and there is no need to ask.

Soon, Lu Yao received the address, drove the car, and Xu Ruochu sat in the passenger seat.

"...Sister Chu, why don't you sit in the back?"

"Can't I sit here?"

Xu Ruochu tilted his head and asked.

"……Row."

"Let's go, have you ever eaten fried liver?"

"Yes... I have. Bandit's liver, does that count?"

"Haha, come on. You know what I'm talking about."

She seemed to be in a good mood today, leaning back in her seat and pointing forward:

"Let's go, Old Yanjing Fried Liver!"

Hearing this, Lu Yao shook his head speechlessly:

"Sister Chu, that thing smells very strong of garlic. Aren't we going to meet someone soon?"

Xu Ruochu was stunned:
“Does that thing have garlic?”

“…You’ve never eaten it?”

"No, I just know it's a traditional snack, but I've never tried it. Have you ever eaten it?"

"I didn't... I just heard what others said. How about we just have a simple meal and talk about it at noon?"

"Then let's have a simple meal and go to the Yanjing Restaurant in front."

"...Yanjing Hotel? Have breakfast?"

"Yes, when I come here by myself, I actually stay there. The breakfast there is pretty good."

"Ok."

Lu Yao nodded, followed her instructions, and went straight to the hotel.

After parking the car, Xu Ruochu got out with ease.

Lu Yao stayed at the Yanjing Hotel once. After the radio frequency chip was developed, the research institute came to Yanjing to receive commendation from the scientific research department at the end of the year.

It was a very small ceremony, but it was broadcast on the news.

Lu Yao is one of the unknown people in the hall.

That time, he stayed at the Yanjing Hotel, and he had a deep impression of it, because a researcher from this place had told him that breakfast here costs 200 per person...

He has gained a lot of experience.

But who would have known... after coming here, Xu Ruochu would broaden his horizons again.

The breakfast she went to was not an ordinary breakfast restaurant, but a ceremony hall. The breakfast here was not a buffet, but a menu.

Lu Yao had never been here, so the order was naturally based on Xu Ruochu's standards.

Breakfast is actually very simple, a bowl of soup, two fried eggs per person, vegetables, coffee, cereal rice, etc., which is very consistent with her habits.

After the dishes were ordered and the waiter brought the bill, Lu Yao took a look at it... and was shocked.

Fried eggs are not called fried eggs, they are called sunny-side-up eggs.

The price of a sunshine egg is 80.

A glass of orange juice, 60.

A cup of coffee, 60.

That soup, 160.

Cereal rice, 150.

The breakfast for two people together is one thousand four hundred, and then I have to pay one thousand seven hundred.

Because there is a 25% service charge.

"...Sister Chu, is this a victim?"

He couldn't help but ask while holding the bill.

Xu Ruochu was stunned.
