Huayu 2021: Isn’t he in the technology field?

Chapter 131 The Journey to Find Memories, Two Fools

After filming for three consecutive days, Jiang Qing asked Sun Molong for another day off.

Sun Molong didn't think much of it, but Zhao Jinmai was very curious after learning about it. When she learned that Jiang Qing's reason was to pick someone up, she felt a little uneasy.

She and Jiang Qing had been getting along very well these past few days, and she was planning to press her advantage.

It's said online that it's not easy to fall in love with someone. As long as he's not married, don't overthink it, just make a move first.

Love isn't something you wait for; it's something you fight for.

She thought it made sense and put it into practice, and the results were good. But why did Jiang Qing take leave again at this crucial moment?
She felt inexplicably flustered.

the other side.

Jiang Qing arrived at Gaoqi Airport before nine o'clock in the morning.

He didn't bring Chen Duo; that guy talks too much.

They also assigned him tasks to handle at the hotel, so he probably won't need to leave the hotel today.

At 9:57, passengers began to appear at the exit.

As Jiang Qing raised her hand to adjust her mask, the July sunlight was being reflected into the glass curtain wall of the terminal building.

He looked down to check his phone's location, and the moment the blue dot overlapped with Exit 3, he heard the crisp sound of a suitcase wheel hitting the floor tiles behind him.

"Dr. Jiang needs to change his baseball cap."

A familiar, slightly husky voice wafted over, mixed with the scent of jasmine. As he turned around, he caught a glimpse of the curled-up hair under the beige fisherman's hat.

Chen Duling hooked her index finger down her brown sunglasses, revealing a cunning glint in her eyes.

"A 2019 Warriors commemorative edition; if the media photographs it, they'll say you're sentimental."

"Teacher Chen's floral mask is a limited edition."

Jiang Qing reached out and took her suitcase, raising an eyebrow slightly as she looked at her outfit.

"A high-temperature warning of 34 degrees Celsius has been issued for Xiamen. Is wearing a cardigan a new way to prevent heatstroke?"

Chen Duling unzipped her coat, revealing a floral sundress underneath. The shoulder strap slipped half an inch off her collarbone with her movement, revealing a glimpse of snow-white skin.

The air conditioning on the plane was too strong.

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Qing had already taken off her sun-protective clothing and draped it over her shoulders.

"you!"

"Let's go."

Clutching the water bottle that had suddenly been shoved into her hand, she watched Jiang Qing stride toward the parking lot and suddenly noticed a tan line on the back of his neck, clearly a mark left from days of filming.

"Still not leaving?"

Jiang Qing urged her on without turning his head.

"Oh, here it comes."

She smiled slightly and quickened her pace to catch up.

Dr. Jiang seems a little nervous today?

This discovery made Chen Duling feel a little proud.

Soon, they made their way through the crowd to the underground parking garage.

July is peak tourist season, and there are quite a few people visiting Xiamen. If the two hadn't tried to conceal their identities, they might have been recognized.

Jiang Qing didn't actually like this, but to avoid unnecessary trouble, she had no choice but to wear a mask in the sweltering weather.

A wave of heat hit her face as she climbed into the passenger seat. The car's air conditioning LCD screen showed 16°C.

Just as she was about to reach out to adjust the temperature, Jiang Qing had already turned the air vent towards the car window.

"Be careful of catching a cold."

"Dr. Jiang is so experienced?"

"I have a troublesome younger sister at home."

"She is so lucky."

"I feel so too."

Jiang Qing started the car with a smile, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw her folding her sun protection clothing into a neat square.

"seat belt."

Just as Chen Duling fastened the latch, the car navigation system suddenly emitted a child's voice prompt.

"A Bing Shacha Noodles, 9.6 kilometers ahead! Double the portion of Dudu's favorite pork liver!"

Startled, she knocked over the lemon candy jar in the storage box, and the colorful candy balls rolled onto the black floor mat.

"Jiang Qing! This voice message..."

"Don't worry about that. You said last time that we're closed on Sundays."

He turned the steering wheel with one hand and made his way out of the bend.

Today is Wednesday.

Chen Duling stared at his profile in silence for a moment, then gently curled the corners of her lips.

"Ah."

She responded softly, her crossed heels swaying slightly involuntarily.

As the vehicle drove out of the underground parking lot, the sun no longer seemed so hot.

Half an hour later, they arrived at their destination.

When they got off the bus, Chen Duling handed Jiang Qing a baseball cap that was the same style as hers, and he realized that she had been prepared all along.

At this point, her appearance also changed.

She divided her hair into two sections, braided them into plaits, and then secured them with hairpins.

This hairstyle made her look more fresh and natural, exuding a youthful vibe. Jiang Qing almost forgot that she was three years older than her.

Her green floral dress was also very eye-catching. The dress was light and swayed in the wind, and the floral pattern added a touch of freshness, which was very much in line with the scenery of Xiamen at that time.

She wore light makeup, which, combined with her fair and delicate features, made her look naturally beautiful.

"Give me your opinion?"

Chen Duling gracefully twirled around, holding the hem of her skirt, and looked at him with a beaming smile.

"Does host Chen's beauty even need my evaluation?"

Jiang Qing looked puzzled. Although it was a question, it made Chen Duling's lips curl up even more.

"Dr. Jiang is really good at talking; he doesn't seem like a typical STEM guy at all."

Chen Duling turned and walked away first, her steps light and graceful as she tiptoed.

"Host Chen, don't forget that you are a science and engineering woman."

Jiang Qing caught a glimpse of the upturned corners of her mouth as she turned around and smiled as she gave a reminder.

Seeing her almost stumble, he smiled and followed closely behind her.

The two walked through the alley and arrived at their destination in about three minutes.

The shop's iron gate was half-open, and the owner, dressed in an old man's shirt, was labeling takeout boxes.

As Jiang Qing bent down and squeezed through the shop door, Chen Duling suddenly grabbed his clothes.

"and many more!"

She took out a makeup mirror and carefully examined their disguises.

"Your hat is pressing down on your eyebrows, behind your right ear."

Jiang Qing suddenly grabbed her wrist, which was suspended in mid-air, and guided her fingertips to touch behind his ear.

"It's sunburn, not because the foundation wasn't applied evenly."

This is the scene that Ah Bing saw when he looked up from behind the glass counter.

The young people wearing matching baseball caps, one with bright red ears holding up a makeup mirror, the other holding the other's wrist and pulling it onto their face.

The old man squinted for three seconds to make out the price list, then suddenly tapped it.

"Ling girl brought her boyfriend this time, would you like three servings of pig liver?"

"Abo!"

Chen Duling's cheeks flushed.

"Yes, we're colleagues from the film crew!"

Jiang Qing paused in her action of scanning the QR code to pay, then raised her hand and made an "OK" gesture.

"Boss, two bowls of satay noodles, and three servings of pork liver."

The small shop, which was only forty square meters, suddenly became so quiet that the sound of the ceiling fan could be heard. Chen Duling glanced at him, then silently went inside and found an empty seat.

Jiang Qing grinned at Ah Bing, then walked over and sat down opposite her.

They are a good match.

Seeing this, Ah Bing sighed inwardly, then turned and went into the kitchen to make noodles for them.

When a regular customer comes, you'd better put some effort into it.

Ten minutes later, two steaming bowls of satay noodles were served.

"Tsk...it tastes really good!"

After taking a bite, Jiang Qing smacked her lips and praised it.

Chen Duling viciously poked at the alkaline noodles in the bowl with her chopsticks. After thinking it over, she still felt ashamed and angry, and her usual rationality crumbled.

"Dr. Jiang's skin is truly extraordinary."

"It can't compare to the courage that Teacher Chen had when he was fifteen and bought things on credit."

Jiang Qing calmly picked up the bean sprouts that she had secretly taken out of her bowl.

"Still not eating bean sprouts?"

"I want you to take care"

Her eyes suddenly widened.

"how do you know?"

Jiang Qing pulled up a screenshot of Weibo on her phone. In the photo of her lunchbox from the film crew, green bean sprouts were neatly arranged in the corner of the lunchbox.

Chen Duling snatched the phone and scrolled down, only to find that it was her long-forgotten alternate account.

"You hacked my account?"

"The search was conducted openly and honestly."

He clicked on the search history and it showed the keyword "Chen Duling is a picky eater".

"Big data says we've read the same paper on the dangers of picky eating."

Chen Duling puffed out her cheeks, scooped up a spoonful of soup, and poured it into his bowl. "You'll be so salty!"

Jiang Qing rarely saw her childish side, and happily picked up the bowl and took a big gulp.

"Mmm...delicious."

"you!"

Chen Duling's teeth were itchy!

Doesn't he know that even a rabbit will bite when cornered?
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the cicadas chirped and the summer heat rose in the shade of the trees on the back mountain of Nanputuo Temple.

Chen Duling held a glass of chilled coconut water as she watched Jiang Qing squatting in front of the wooden pillar of the viewing pavilion, carefully examining the blurry carvings.

"It's long since weathered away."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Qing suddenly used her phone's flashlight to illuminate the side.

"The letters CDL were repeatedly carved with a knife, and there's half a heart next to them?"

Chen Duling rushed up and covered his mouth.

"Jiang Qing! This is a pure Buddhist sanctuary!"

The sound of the monk ringing the bell startled the white doves on the eaves. As she hurriedly retreated, Jiang Qing grabbed her waist.

The coconut water traced an arc in the air, and the cool liquid flowed down their intertwined wrists into their sleeves.

"My coconut."

"My shirt."

Jiang Qing released her from the wet cuffs she was wringing out.

"How does Host Chen plan to compensate?"

Chen Duling pulled out a tissue and wiped the back of his hand haphazardly.

"I'll take you to buy new ones! Three items of your choice for fifty yuan at the Zhongshan Road night market."

"Then I'll have to choose carefully."

Jiang Qing said in a very serious tone.

"Then let's go!"

She looked up at him.

Their eyes met, and they both grinned at the same time.

As the neon lights of the night market illuminated, Jiang Qing, wearing a commemorative T-shirt printed with "I love Xiamen," watched Chen Duling tiptoe to put a straw hat on his head.

"Perfectly integrated into the local community."

Jiang Qing shrugged and spread her hands, looking helpless, which made her giggle.

After strolling around for a while, Chen Duling led him to a stall belonging to an old acquaintance.

Under the bright lights of the seafood stall, she was haggling with the owner.

"The tiger prawn clearly said it was good."

At the height of the conflict, she was suddenly pulled behind Jiang Qing.

"I come."

"You know how to bargain?"

Chen Duling looked suspicious and tugged at the back of his shirt.

"These kinds of stalls are necessary."

"rest assured."

Jiang Qing gave her a reassuring look.

"Boss, the tiger prawns will be sold at the wholesale price plus a 15% spoilage fee."

He showed the calculator interface on his phone.

"After deducting transportation costs, this price is acceptable to both parties."

The boss stared at him for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Ling's boyfriend is something else!"

"I already said no."

Chen Duling's voice was drowned out by the shouts of vendors from the next stall.

After sitting down, she watched Jiang Qing skillfully break open the crab legs, and suddenly remembered something.

"An AI genius?"

“When Wuwen was just starting out, I spent half a month visiting seafood wholesale markets.”

Jiang Qing picked up the crab roe and put it into her bowl.

"At that time, we took over a cold chain logistics system."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Duling raised her hand and tapped the rim of his bowl with her crab claws.

"Dr. Jiang, this is an appointment time, work-related reports are prohibited."

"it is good."

Jiang Qing wanted to say, "Didn't you start this topic?"

He quickly shut his mouth after meeting her suddenly narrowed eyes.

Soon, the two began to focus on enjoying the seafood.

Today they were on a special forces mission, and they were exhausted and hungry.

A gust of evening wind carrying a salty, fishy smell swept across the plastic tablecloth, and Jiang Qing suddenly reached out to the girl opposite him.

"do not move."

Chen Duling stood frozen in place, watching him brush his fingertips across her cheek before pressing the tissue against the chili seeds on the edge of the table.

"Oh, I misread it."

"Jiang Qing!"

She grabbed an ice-cold beer and pressed it against his face.

"You deliberately!"

"Thank God!"

"Don't explain!"

"All right……"

After their laughter and commotion, they continued on to their next stop.

At 10 p.m. at Bailuzhou Wharf, Chen Duling squatted on the rocks adjusting her headlamp.

"Cast your net as soon as you see a blue light, and be quick! Hey!"

Jiang Qing's fishing net brushed past her ear, precisely catching the floating fluorescent light.

"Teacher Chen's teaching skills need to be improved."

"You cheat!"

She peered into the net at the thrashing sea bream.

"There must be something wrong!"

"The throwing angle is calculated using fluid dynamics."

Jiang Qing suddenly grabbed her hand that was holding the net pole.

"Wind speed 2.4 m/s, tide direction southeast, net casting success rate is now 87%."

Chen Duling lightly nudged his ribs with her elbow.

"I've learned this too."

The last notes faded into the waves, and she watched as the two shadows, elongated by the moonlight, overlapped on the rocks, lost in thought for a moment.

"If I catch a glowing conch, I'll give you 30%!"

As her thoughts returned, Chen Duling suddenly turned around.

"Chen Duling!"

Jiang Qing chased after them, holding a flashlight.

Your shoelaces are untied!

"in spite of!"

It will fall.

thump!
Amidst the splashing tide, Chen Duling sat in knee-deep seawater, laughing with her head tilted back. Jiang Qing's fishing net caught the fluorescent algae swaying in her hair.

Are you an idiot?

Jiang Qing helped her up and smiled as she tidied her hair.

"Jiang Qing."

Chen Duling suddenly tilted her head up and called to him softly, her fair skin seemingly glowing in the moonlight.

"how?"

Jiang Qing continued working, watching her trembling eyelashes and chuckling softly.

"How about we get to know each other again?"

She made the suggestion with a serious expression.

"What identity should you use? Host Chen? Or actress Chen Duling?"

"Using the identity of the idiot who missed you for five years."

The moonlight was suddenly swallowed by the clouds, and Jiang Qing's hand paused.

The moment he understood the look in her eyes, he grinned.

"Then I'm an idiot too."

"so……"

"Dudu."

"Ok?"

"Close your eyes."

Chen Duling's eyes widened suddenly, and Jiang Qing's face loomed larger and larger in her pupils.

When the moonlight shone down again, her lips were wet.
