Chapter 184 The truth? The truth
Huo Yan glanced at the sake and two wine glasses on the stone table: "If I had known, I would have come over."
Gu Yanying raised her eyes and looked at him: "What else?"
Their eyes met, then they looked away.
The two are not enemies, but they can't be friends for the time being.
The courtyard is deep and the night is quiet.
The two of them drank sake under the tree for a while, and Huo Yan asked, "Have you made up your mind whether to go abroad or stay in the country?"
Gu Yanying has very strong scientific research capabilities. While working at the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, he did not give up scientific research, but took care of it and made good progress.
Given his abilities, the government arranged an independent research laboratory for him, letting him lead projects and investing heavily in him. This was not because he was trying to reach a high standard, but because the government valued his talent.
In other words, if he was not so capable, given his "relationship" with Su Lingyu in the original plot, he would not have been given such loose freedom.
However, what many people don’t know is that there have actually been contacts between foreign forces and Gu Yanying.
After Gu Yanying submitted her resignation to the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, she immediately received numerous olive branches from abroad.
He is so capable and outstanding.
As long as Gu Yanying nods, he can fly abroad, where there is a more suitable scientific research environment, more generous salary and benefits... Some things can be given in China, but some things cannot be given with the current strength of the country.
But if such a high-end talent leaves, it will undoubtedly be a loss for the country that is on the rise, and a huge loss at that.
The country wants to retain this talent, but is worried that he will leave the country because of "emotional trauma".
"Are you here to persuade me?" Gu Yanying asked.
"yes."
"Does she know?"
"have no idea."
"Are you coming here just to convince me, or to use her as a bargaining chip to convince me?"
Huo Yanfeng's eyes darkened: "Gu Yanying!"
Their eyes met, both of them had cold expressions, but after a moment, Gu Yanying suddenly chuckled.
"Very good." He lightly poured half a glass of wine into the white porcelain wine glass, held up the wine glass with two fingers, and said lightly, "Remember your choice today, and put her first in everything."
Huo Yan was silent.
Gu Yanying drank a glass of wine and suddenly asked, "Do you think it's meaningful? Is this world worth living in? After knowing the truth, have you ever thought about escaping this cage?"
Huo Yan was surprised but not that surprised. He picked up the wine glass and played with it. He asked coldly, "When did you know?"
"Is this surprising?" Gu Yanying chuckled and raised her glass, saying, "Vicious female supporting role, male lead, male supporting role, villain, plot line... maybe, there is also a love line..."
“In what range are these elements most likely to be assembled?”
"You don't have to answer me. We just need to know each other's understanding."
"Although the system blocks key information and key words, as long as you have a brain and dare to think, it is not difficult to come up with the answer. Not only me, the higher-ups must have guessed it long ago."
Huo Yan's expression was calm and he fell silent.
However, this silence was the best answer, and Gu Yanying chuckled again.
He stood up to see her off: "Don't worry, I won't go abroad. I think the arrangement made by my superiors is good. After all... even if this world is empty, this is the place I love." It is the place she loves.
Huo Yan nodded and stood up.
Tonight's conversation had come to an end. Thinking of what had happened in Lake City before, he said "thank you" and turned to leave.
Gu Yanying did not see him off, but just watched him indifferently.
…
The yard returned to silence and Gu Yanying sat down on the bamboo chair.
Looking up at the dark and boundless night sky, his pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes reflected the starry sky and the cold moonlight, appearing even darker and more distant.
He thought of an interesting phenomenon in his mind: the observer effect in the double-slit interference experiment and the wave-particle duality of light.
In the double-slit interference experiment, when there is no observer, light will pass through two narrow slits in the form of waves, leaving a series of light spots on the wall, like a fence.
However, when there is an observer in the experiment, the light passes through the slit in the form of particles, leaving only two straight beams of light on the wall.
In other words, the properties of light are closely related to whether there is an observer.
Based on this, scientists have come to the conclusion that consciousness can affect matter.
Think deeper: Is this world real?
It is said that eyes are windows to the soul, but everyone's eyes perceive colors differently, have different vision, and have different cognitions. So the so-called "seeing is believing" is not necessarily true.
The truth about the world discovered by science is only one billionth.
Then think about the parallel world theory, the metaverse theory, the virtual world theory, whether time really exists... No one knows what the end of science is.
Countless chaotic and complicated thoughts flashed through Gu Yanying's mind, and finally they slowly settled down like flying dust, and her heart calmed down again.
Yes, he never cared about reality or fiction.
He doesn't have to be entangled in this life...
No, he was still entangled, but he didn't dare.
He once wanted to seek the truth and approached that person deliberately in order to dig out the secret from her. However, who knew that he would lose not only his wife but also his army and himself.
She is like a ray of light, warm, brilliant, pure and beautiful.
From then on, propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame are her, benevolence, justice and morality are her, indifference is her, love is her, and forgetfulness is also her.
He lowered his head and chuckled, then stood up and returned to his desk, turned on the desk lamp, and sat down to continue working.
The pen writes down one draft after another, the wastepaper basket beside the desk gradually becomes full, and the breeze and the bright moon accompany each other, adding a touch of tenderness to the quiet night.
As I was writing, I felt tired late at night.
Gu Yanying raised her eyes and looked at a stained handkerchief placed on the corner of the desk. She suddenly smiled, picked up the enamel cup, took a sip of strong tea, and continued to work at her desk.
…
The car drove through the night.
Seeing the lights in the yard from afar, Huo Yan cast his gaze towards a window on the second floor. A hint of tenderness finally emerged in his calm eyes, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but raise a slight arc.
Even if the reality of this world is questionable, so what?
All he knew and felt was true, all he thought and loved was true.
The person waiting for him at home is real.
"Captain, do you want to get off at the door or go to the garage?" Chen Zhou asked.
"The door."
"yes."
The car stopped and Huo Yan walked in carrying the things in his hands.
Walking into the living room, Chen Yuxiang smiled when she saw what he was holding: "Are you buying food for Lingyu again? You're caring about your wife, that's good."
Huo Yan's ears felt hot. He nodded calmly and went upstairs in a hurry.
Huo Xiang, who was having a midnight snack, laughed: "My brother is really something. He knows that my sister-in-law likes to eat snacks from that store, so he keeps buying them. Isn't he afraid that my sister-in-law will get tired of it? If my sister-in-law gets fat, he will be the one who gets beaten."
Chen Yuxiang glared at her and asked dangerously, "You only know how to laugh at your brother. How are you preparing for the midterm exam?"
Huo Xiang immediately made a bitter face: "...I finally understand, you parents just can't stand seeing your children happy!"
"I'm asking you this because I care about you," Chen Yuxiang said. "Studying is definitely hard, but you've worked hard for a few years so that you can have an easier life in the future! I'm doing this for your own good."
"Then you'd better not do it for my sake. I'm not smart. When you gave birth to my brother, did you give all your IQ to him? That's why my second brother and I are so stupid?" Huo Xiang started to blame others.
"Don't talk about your IQ, it's your attitude that's not right! If you were a little more serious, you wouldn't be worse than others, you would definitely lose your head, no... you would still lose your head..."
Wait, the more I talk about it, the more terrifying it gets. The mother-daughter relationship can hardly bear the future of a suspected murder!
Huo Xiang was about to cry out loud, and shouted: "Mom, it's to stand out!"
Chen Yuxiang coughed awkwardly: "...Yes, yes, that thing!"
Huo Xiang: "..."
I feel tired and scared.
Huo Jianguo, who came out with the teacup to refill it with water, silently chose to step back.
One step back and everything will be calm, one step forward and lives will fall.
He will choose.
…
On this side, without paying attention to the interaction between his family members, Huo Yan quickly walked to the master bedroom.
Su Lingyu was still reading and didn't even notice the door opened.
He placed the snack bag in his hand on the bedside table and stroked her smooth long hair: "How long have you been watching? Have you gotten up and moved around?"
"Hmm..." Su Lingyu rubbed her eyes, glanced at the wall clock with a guilty look, and smiled, "Yes."
I drank two sips of water while reading. Does this count as arm exercise?
At this moment, the system's baby voice suddenly sounded: [Wow, host, I suddenly discovered a secret of Huo Yan. He went out tonight not for official business, and he didn't go to the army at all! ]
Su Lingyu didn't react immediately: [What?]
