Chapter 46 Fingerprints recorded
Xu Yueqing's pupils shrank in an instant.
Five years ago.
shadow.
This name, all of this, it's been so long since I last heard it.
Unexpectedly, someone still remembers it.
She listened calmly, but her hands hanging by her sides tightened uncontrollably.
Fang Tao became even more curious when he saw the two of them whispering to each other.
He frowned.
"What on earth are you two talking about?"
Wang Shuangshuang has stood up and returned to his arrogant look.
She no longer looked at Xu Yueqing, as if the provocation just now was just a whim, and the topic changed abruptly and quickly.
"Okay, follow me."
She raised her chin towards Xu Yueqing, her tone sounding like she was giving an order.
"I'll take you to register and have your fingerprints taken. Oh, and you'll have to make a public appearance later."
Xu Yueqing followed her footsteps, and the ripples in her heart were forcibly suppressed by her.
She grasped the key point in Wang Shuangshuang's words and asked with a frown.
"A public appearance? Where?"
Wang Shuangshuang walked ahead without stopping and without looking back. A voice came from the front with a hint of mockery.
"There are too many people eyeing Professor Chen's position on the team at the institute, so Dean Li made it known from the beginning that once the old man finalizes the last person on the team, the entire team must be publicly unveiled immediately to inform everyone that the position is full and no more people are allowed to squeeze in."
She paused, her tone adding a hint of empathy and annoyance.
"Otherwise, someone will always find ways to squeeze people in. The old man himself said that his old bones can't stand the constant harassment."
I see.
After listening to this, Xu Yueqing nodded.
Wang Shuangshuang's pink hair swayed in front, leading the way. Xu Yueqing followed behind her and turned into the corridor leading to the archive room.
After entering.
Xu Yueqing took the form handed to him by Wang Shuangshuang, put the tip of the pen on the name column, paused for a moment before writing down his own name.
Graduation school, major, past resume... She filled in the form, putting extra effort into every stroke.
With a beep, the fingerprint entry machine lit up the green light, and the process was finally completed.
The two of them came out and sat on the cold bench outside waiting, no one spoke.
Wang Shuangshuang lowered her head and scrolled through her phone, while Xu Yueqing stared at her hands on her knees, motionless.
"Hello."
Wang Shuangshuang's voice rang out again, suddenly.
Xu Yueqing turned her head to look at her.
"I think," Wang Shuangshuang crossed her arms, her gaze fixed on the light and shadow at the end of the corridor, not looking at her, "you have changed a lot over the years."
There was no emotion in her tone.
Xu Yueqing lowered her eyes, looked at her clasped hands, and replied lightly.
“People change.”
Her voice was very soft, like a falling feather, but it couldn't cause any ripples.
But it was these light words that seemed to ignite Wang Shuangshuang.
She turned her head suddenly, and her beautiful eyes finally revealed a trace of undisguised emotion.
It's a pity and disappointing.
"You have absolutely no confidence."
"My impression of Shadow is that he's standing on top of the world, with fire burning in his eyes."
shadow.
She mentioned this name again.
Like a rusty key, it forcibly pried open Xu Yueqing's long-sealed heart.
Then she forced out an even fainter smile, as if it had nothing to do with her.
"Let bygones be bygones."
"I don't plan to start over as Shadow. From now on, I'll just be Xu Yueqing at the research institute, an ordinary engineer."
Wang Shuangshuang's expression changed suddenly.
The blood color on that face, which still had a bit of baby fat, had completely drained away, leaving only anger.
"What did you say?"
