Chapter 63 09.26/This is the first update. You can’t bring this watch in…
Fan Tingnian walked straight over, helped her pick up the plastic bag in her right hand, glanced at the contents, and then answered her.
He lowered his eyes to look at his watch, and said in a steady voice, "It's been twenty minutes, so I came to take a look."
Chu Song remembered that she had just told him that it would take about ten minutes, but he didn't actually answer her question.
The clerk watched the two of them and smiled as he tidied up the glass case at the cashier's counter. "Boyfriend?"
Chu Song's train of thought was interrupted by the clerk. He turned around and saw the man next to him had already responded, "Yeah."
The clerk who brought Chu Song over was a woman in her forties with short, curly hair and a white pharmacy hat. She deftly packed the remaining packets of medicine and handed them to Fan Tingnian in a bag.
Still smiling, he advised, "As for women, most of them feel uncomfortable during their menstrual period. Only a few are fine. Go back and take good care of your girlfriend. Make sure she stays warm, and it's best not to eat raw or cold food during her period."
"Okay." Fan Tingnian agreed.
Chu Song was led out of the drugstore by him, holding his hand. When he reached the bottom of the stairs, he pulled his left hand away.
The man next to him turned and looked over.
Chu Song pulled her scarf higher, put her hand back into her coat pocket, and gestured to the hand that had just been holding hers: "Your hands are too cold."
He is like a cold-blooded animal. Except when he is emotional, his body temperature is not very high at other times. Especially in the cold weather recently, he is always cold. Every time he holds her hand, she wants to hide.
After hearing this, the man was silent for two seconds, his eyebrows twitched, and he put his free hand back into the right pocket of his coat, his eyes sliding away from her face.
He helped Chu Song hold the two bags of medicine with his left hand, and the two walked side by side towards the parking lot.
"You don't like me pulling you because you think I'm cold?" he confirmed to her.
After walking several meters, he suddenly asked this. Chu Song was stunned for a moment, then pulled his scarf higher: "Yes... Your body temperature is very low, too cold."
A few minutes later, the two men walked to the front of the car.
The car was still parked where it was just now. Chu Song opened the door, got in, and fastened his seat belt.
The car was parked a little far from the pharmacy she went to later. She didn't know how he saw her, but when she and the clerk came out of the side door of the previous store, they passed by the road, and she probably saw him at that time.
After returning to her residence, Chu Song put down her things and went back to the bedroom to take a shower. Her period was approaching and the temperature had dropped recently, so she always felt cold staying outside.
After taking a shower, I stayed in the bedroom and worked on the computer for a while. I was working on the project plan until eleven o'clock. My stomach growled and I suddenly felt a little hungry.
She ordered takeout from the company for dinner, which tasted average. She only ate a few bites, thought about it over and over again, and endured for another half an hour. Finally, she couldn't resist the hunger anymore, so she put down her computer, got up from the sofa, and wanted to go downstairs to find something to eat.
She didn't want to tell Fan Tingnian that she was hungry and trouble the aunt downstairs. She remembered that there were frozen wontons in the kitchen refrigerator, so she wanted to go and take a look and cook a small bowl for herself.
It took some time to cook the wontons. I finished eating them while looking at my phone. This time it was really twelve o'clock.
After clearing the dishes, I went upstairs and saw that the study door was half open when I passed by it.
Since Fan Tingnian came back these two days, she has not used the study room. On the one hand, she always feels a little stressed staying in the same environment with him. On the other hand, he always has to video chat with people in Italy, and she is afraid that it will affect his work.
The corridor was very quiet. Fan Tingnian couldn't tell whether they were asleep or had gone somewhere else. There was no one in the study, but there was a faint light, and the projection screen inside seemed to be on.
When she was using the study a few days ago, she left a few notebooks in it. Fan Tingnian was not at home, so she wanted to get them back.
When I opened the door, there was indeed no one inside, and the screen was indeed lit. There were two rows of electronic folders on the top.
The folders are named after the dates, one for each day, starting from last week until now.
Chu Song stared at it for a few seconds, and remembered that the date on the first folder was the day he left, and that the date on each folder was followed by two subtitles "CS".
I don’t know if she’s just being sensitive, but isn’t that the initials of her name?
She frowned deeply, feeling that something was wrong. She looked for a while, then bent down as if possessed, picked up the remote control from the coffee table, concentrated for two seconds, and opened one at random.
The folder opened and several files popped up. She moved the cursor to one of them and clicked it.
Just as she saw the words on the first line, it seemed to be a store name, very familiar, it was a supermarket she and Wen Yao had been to, but before she could take a closer look, she heard a man's voice behind her.
"What are you doing?"
Chu Song was secretly looking at other people's things, and his heart tightened. He was startled and hurriedly turned off the screen and turned to look over.
Fan Tingnian had just taken a shower and changed into pajamas, with the top button of his collar buttoned in a restrained manner.
Why does he always walk without making any sound?
If they really get together in the future, she will definitely stick bells on his slippers.
Of course the man didn't know what she was thinking and walked in.
Chu Song saw him looking at the remote control in his hand, and hurriedly handed it to him: "I came in to get something and saw that your screen was on, so..."
She wanted to say that she wanted to help him turn off the screen, but when she thought about how he didn't want to be deceived, she didn't say the second half of the sentence.
"It's okay." Fan Tingnian said.
The man took the remote control from her hand and turned the screen back on. The electronic screen was connected to the machine, so he turned it off and on again. The machine also restarted. The screen no longer showed the previous picture, but was switched to the main page.
It seems to be Fan Tingnian’s computer.
She touched the hair at the back of her head and said, "Then I'll go back first. You can continue working."
Two minutes later, Chu Song returned to the room. After eating a full meal, she felt even more sleepy than before she went downstairs. But she couldn't fall asleep even after pulling the quilt over her and lying on the bed.
The document just now flashed by her. Although she couldn't see it clearly, it should be the name of a store.
After flipping through it twice more, she sat up and used her phone to search for the words she saw. The map software responded for a while and popped up information. It was indeed a supermarket near the art museum.
Sometimes when she didn't want to eat too much at noon, she would go there to buy some food. Wen Yao came to see her last night, and they went there together.
So those folders don't contain Fan Tingnian's work information, but are indeed related to her?
Why is the name of the supermarket next to their unit on the document?
There was a very important lecture the next morning at a university not far from the art museum.
The most famous art school in the country, the art museum’s two cultural and creative activities at the end of the year both cooperated with this school.
Today's lecture is officially held by AMND here. The art museum has a participating team and has places to attend the lecture, so they need to send someone here.
Fan Tingnian was in Beicheng, so he was naturally invited as well.
There were four spots available in the hall, and one had to sign in to attend. Chu Song, as the leader of one of the competition teams, and together with another team leader, he also called Zhang Xinran and a junior sister.
The lecture will start at 10 o'clock, and people will sign in and enter at 9 o'clock.
Chu Song rejected Fan Tingnian's suggestion and went to the company to pack up his things first, and came here with Zhang Xinran.
When I arrived with a few colleagues, there were already many people queuing outside the venue. The line was very long. The front row was for security and inspection machines.
Zhang Xinran stood behind Chu Song and stood on tiptoe to take a look. "Do we still need to go through security?"
Chu Song was checking to see if he had all the necessary documents when the junior student behind him replied, "There are a lot of school leaders and government officials, and there are so many students. It's probably for safety reasons."
Another team leader put down his phone and looked up. "Didn't that school lab building over to the north explode a while ago? Some people say it was a revenge plot. Anyway, they've been tightening the screws ever since."
The junior sister sighed, "The economy is bad, and everything feels chaotic."
Zhang Xinran looked ahead again: "If I had known, I should have come earlier. This long line would take forever."
"That's right," the junior sister held her neck and turned it twice, "We should open two more teams, the queue is too slow."
Chu Song heard the conversation between the few people and turned his head to look at the male team leader, reminding him: "Did you bring a lighter?"
"Oh, right," the male team leader fished out a plastic lighter from his trouser pocket. "Forget it, the restaurant gave it to me when I ate. If you can't take it with you, just throw it away later."
After waiting for about twenty minutes, it was finally their turn.
Chu Song was the last one to walk, but was stopped by the staff.
She turned around and walked past the machine again. The security instrument beeped and a staff member came up and checked her again with a handheld instrument.
Afterwards, she saw the staff member take a few steps back and communicate with another staff member. Two minutes later, she came back again.
"Could you please come with me to the lounge in the back? There are some items on you that don't meet the requirements and need to be identified and removed."
Zhang Xinran and Chu Song exchanged a glance, then walked over and helped her ask the staff, "What's wrong?"
"Look, I just confirmed your sign with the other staff. After the lecture, as contestants, you will need to attend another meeting, right?"
"Yes," Chu Song nodded, and took out another work badge from the folder in his right hand, which was needed for attending the meeting. "We are participating in the competition on behalf of the art museum, and we have a work badge."
The staff member took her work ID and checked it again. "Yes, the competition meeting is quite private, and there are some things you can't bring. However, before a detailed inspection, we can't be sure whether your items meet the requirements, so please cooperate with us."
The staff member was very friendly. After handing the work ID back to Zhang Xin, he gestured to Chu Song in the direction behind him and said with a faint smile, "Come with me. If there's no problem, I'll take you back right away."
Chu Songru felt something, frowned and thought for a moment, then handed the file bag in his hand to Zhang Xinran: "You go in first, I'll come find you after I finish checking."
"good."
Two minutes later, Chu Song followed the staff to the lounge at the back. Just as she expected, as soon as she entered the room, a monitoring personnel came over and took off the watch on her right wrist after asking her opinion.
Chu Song frowned deeply: "Is there something wrong with this watch?"
"Yes, your watch has a protective device. The machine outside can't be sure, so we need to check it again."
Chu Song sat on a chair, clasped his hands and placed them on his legs to show his cooperation.
The phone on the desk vibrated, and two messages came in succession. It was from Fan Tingnian, saying that he had arrived and asking her if she had entered the venue.
Chu Song looked at it for a few seconds, then flipped the phone screen over and placed it on the table.
After a long time, the staff came back with the watch.
Chu Song spoke before the staff approached, his voice a little stiff, but he had already guessed: "Does this watch have a location?"
The staff nodded: "Yes."
The watch is so well protected, and it took them a while to identify all the devices and systems inside.
He put the watch on the table beside her.
Chu Song's body froze. She had been suspicious since last night, but when she heard a professional say it, her brain felt like it was electrified and still tingled.
Then the staff member said, "Actually, the positioning is fine, but your watch has a monitoring system. You absolutely cannot bring it in."
Chu Song's blood froze. Two seconds later, he asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"
