"Don't cover your head when you sleep, it prevents air circulation and is bad for your health," Zhou Mi reminded her.
There was no sound at all from the bed.
Zhou Mi, puzzled, took two steps forward and asked, "Asleep?"
There was still no movement.
This time Zhou Mi panicked, took a big step forward, and yanked off the blanket.
The blankets were empty.
What about Li Lechen?
Zhou Mi's heart suddenly clenched.
There's no reason for that! I just went downstairs to take out the trash and came back up; I didn't even leave the house. Li Lechen was still there when I went out, so where could I have gone?
Kitchen? No!
A restroom? There isn't one!
A balcony? Still no one!
Where could it have gone?!
Fortunately, she didn't completely lose her senses in the chaos. Zhou Mi remembered that there was such a thing as a phone to find someone, so she quickly dialed it.
Of course, there's also the worry that the call will go through but then ring in the room, which would be incredibly disheartening.
Sure enough, the phone rang as soon as the call connected.
Zhou Mi looked in the direction the phone was ringing, and saw Li Lechen standing at the front door, holding a phone and looking at her with a blank expression.
"you......"
"You called me? What's wrong?" Li Lechen interrupted, still appearing quite innocent.
Zhou Mi was naturally baffled. Li Lechen was clearly in the room when she went downstairs. She was just going downstairs to throw out the trash and then going back upstairs. It was the same route, so why would Li Lechen suddenly appear outside the door?
Li Lechen continued to spread his hands, feigning innocence.
"Little Li!"
The voice of an older single woman came from downstairs.
"Why!"
Li Lechen turned around seriously and responded downstairs.
"I've looked here and it's gone. It might have flown downstairs."
"OK, thanks."
The dialogue was natural and reasonable.
Li Lechen then earnestly explained to Zhou Mi, "I noticed a pair of pants was missing from the balcony just now. I was wondering if they had flown downstairs, so I went to ask you what happened."
What could Zhou Mi say? Of course, she couldn't say anything more. Because this was a very normal thing, nothing strange about it.
But I don't know why, it just feels very strange.
The Li Lechen before going downstairs to take out the trash and the Li Lechen in front of me should be... definitely the same person, but why do I always feel that they are different?
The previous Li Lechen, though cold and aloof, had a captivating charm. This one, though smiling, seems carefree and his eyes offer no spark whatsoever.
Does a piece of trash really make you lose all feeling?
Thinking of this, Zhou Mi immediately felt annoyed, turned around and started packing her things, muttering, "It's very late, I'm going home!"
"OK."
Li Lechen didn't try to stop her. His relationship with Zhou Mi was already so bland and indifferent; she came and went as she pleased, and he really didn't feel anything for her.
Zhou Mi was even more annoyed.
But all I can do is feel frustrated; who knows what exactly happened that afternoon?
And so, for an entire afternoon, F001 took Li Lechen's place at home and spent the whole afternoon with Zhou Mi without being exposed. Li Lechen himself went to the hospital to donate bone marrow. Since he was already over eighteen, he could make his own decision and didn't need his mother to know.
Everything proceeded flawlessly.
Another week has passed in the blink of an eye, and this time Li Lechen is really going out. Because he solved the NP-complete problem, Li Lechen has been invited to attend the induction ceremony for new members of the National Mathematical Association.
It's easy to imagine that many big names will participate.
Li Lechen naturally wanted to participate in such a high-profile event in person.
Li Lechen's mother accompanied him. Firstly, her son had suddenly become a genius, and as a mother, she was proud and felt it was only right to accompany her 18-year-old son as his guardian. Secondly, her son was still ill, and she couldn't let him go alone.
Li Lechen was a little depressed. He was a person who had lived for hundreds of years and had wandered in the time tunnel for seven hundred years, but now he was being worried about by all sorts of people.
The journey from Lingcheng to Fancheng takes a little over two hours by plane and seven hours by high-speed train, so the two chose to fly.
Li Lechen then realized that this was his first time flying.
Damn it, he had always ridden in aircraft in his past life. This kind of thing where hundreds of people sit in one metal lump was completely unacceptable to Li Lechen.
The waiting time was incredibly long. Through the glass of the waiting hall, Li Lechen watched a plane slowly taxi from a distance and come to a stop not far away.
That's the advantage of small airports; you can see planes taxiing in and people getting ready to board walking out of the ticket gates and onto the boarding platform.
Li Lechen and his group arrived more than an hour early, and after all the formalities were completed, the wait felt particularly long.
Li Lechen's mother, who was often away from home, was quite used to it and was currently working on a document using her laptop. Li Lechen looked outside for a while, then became bored.
Let's see if some skills are still useful.
With that thought in mind, I began searching for interesting information.
The intersection five kilometers outside the airport is now congested.
"Hurry up, driver, I need to catch my flight," a man's voice said.
"This is a car, not an airplane. There's a traffic jam ahead, and urging me won't help." The driver was helpless, but he was telling the truth.
"How much further?" the man asked.
"If you get off the bus now, it'll take you half an hour to run there. What time is your flight?"
10:05.
"That's a bit risky."
"what to do?"
"Let's wait. If the road ahead opens up, maybe we can make it in time. I'll try my best."
