As the sunset gradually sank below the horizon, night fell over the entire plain.
Jiang Cheng, who was in the basement, was naturally unaware of all this. He simply closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and silently reviewed everything that had happened that day in his mind.
Universe, Earth, Humanity.
These captivating and intoxicating elements occupy all of Jiangcheng's thinking space.
Gu Qingwan stood quietly behind him the whole time.
The shadows covered most of her face, but couldn't hide her striking features. Her long hair still cascaded down her sides. At this moment, Gu Qingwan was only wearing a form-fitting black dress, the fabric clinging tightly to her graceful figure, adorned with dozens of pearls that made her slender waist appear even more delicate.
To be honest, it is no exaggeration to describe Gu Qingwan as "breathtakingly beautiful".
Her expression remained calm as always, but with a hint of urgency.
After all, Gu Qingwan and Jiang Cheng's thoughts are now connected, and she can sense everything Jiang Cheng is thinking about. Naturally, she feels more worried when Jiang Cheng encounters a bottleneck in his thinking.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Cheng opened his eyes again.
At this moment, his eyes showed a newfound clarity.
Although he hasn't found a perfect solution, today's reflections have opened up a whole new realm of understanding about all of this.
Just as Jiang Cheng was about to get up and stretch a bit before continuing to think about all this, he suddenly realized that he had promised to have dinner with Luo Xiaoli today!
"Oh no!"
Seeing that the short hand of the wall clock had already pointed to the number "8", Jiang Cheng immediately grabbed his coat and walked outside.
Without needing his instructions, Gu Qingwan went straight to the back seat, opened the car door for Jiang Cheng, and then returned to the driver's seat.
Gu Qingwan drove her car at breakneck speed out of the underground laboratory and sped along the highways of Kyoto.
The underground laboratory was not in the city center, so when we first drove out, there was no light on the road except for the streetlights and the occasional passing car, with only the distant high-rise buildings flashing with faint light.
It wasn't until we entered the inner ring road that the night view finally illuminated the world before Jiangcheng.
Leaning back comfortably in the back seat, Jiang Cheng gazed silently at Kyoto before him. He lowered the car window, feeling the cool night breeze brush against his hair. The myriad lights of the city cast a beautiful reflection in his eyes, but Jiang Cheng, observing all of this, remained expressionless.
His mind was already completely occupied. Not to mention the worry of being late.
A bustling crowd and a constant stream of vehicles surged at the entrance to the bustling district, but Jiajiangcheng had no interest in appreciating any of it.
Sensing Jiang Cheng's urgency, Gu Qingwan floored the accelerator, and with the deep roar of the engine, she dropped Jiang Cheng off at an office building within twenty minutes.
"Boss, face masks."
Just as Jiang Cheng was about to open the door and get out of the car, Gu Qingwan's voice rang out.
"Ah, yes."
Jiang Cheng was in such a hurry that he almost forgot to wear a mask when he got off the bus. It would be troublesome if someone found out he had been here at night.
The downside of rising fame is that it attracts too much attention. Now, Jiang Cheng has to cover himself up completely every time he goes out, and when he needs to take off his mask to eat, he can only hide in a corner.
He turned around, pulled a mask from a small pocket on the back of the passenger seat, hooked it behind his ear, pulled up the hood of his sweatshirt, and then slowly got out of the car.
As he entered the office building lobby, Gu Qingwan's voice echoed in his mind: "Boss, I'll be waiting for you on the first floor."
"knew."
Jiang Cheng's heart stirred, and he responded to Gu Qingwan in his consciousness.
It must be said that resetting Gu Qingwan's system and unifying their thoughts saved Jiang Cheng a lot of trouble. There was no need for further communication; even fleeting thoughts would be promptly captured by Gu Qingwan, greatly improving efficiency.
Such an assistant is practically perfect.
Jiang Cheng weaved through the throng of people and squeezed into the elevator just in time.
It has to be said that after spending so much time in the lab and base, Jiang Cheng mostly used private elevators, which usually only had three to five people inside. Now, suddenly having to squeeze into an elevator with so many people was truly... quite a rare experience.
As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, everyone filed out, and Jiang Cheng followed in their footsteps.
Walk straight down the corridor, then turn right at the end...
He silently recited the route in his mind, and finally, with five minutes left before get out of class ended, Jiang Cheng rushed to the door of the art studio.
"Phew...at least I'm not late."
He silently recited a phrase in his heart and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Boss, I won't be late, trust me."
Gu Qingwan's voice followed immediately, gentle and with a hint of a smile.
As Jiang Cheng listened to her words, her face involuntarily appeared in his mind.
Unrestricted communication anytime.
Yes, it just takes time to get used to.
As he stood still, Jiang Cheng observed his surroundings from under the brim of his hat.
The corridor was filled with people, some standing, some sitting, mostly students waiting for their art studio classes to end. There were older parents and young people around Jiang Cheng's age.
Before he could catch his breath, the melodious school bell rang from the small speaker hanging at the top, and the classroom door opened a few seconds later.
The students who came to the art studio for class came out one after another, carrying their drawing boards. There were both men and women, mostly young people around twenty years old.
But the moment Luo Xiaoli appeared, everyone's attention was drawn to her.
