Luo Binhan was talking with Yu Qingshu in the study about the latest campaign platform announced by the Green Party.They talked about the difficulties of installing air conditioners in the hotter weather, but in the end, like all boring middle-aged people's drinking parties, they inevitably turned the topic to politics and elections.He always knew that his mother swayed in political positions between the red party and the yellow party, but sometimes she trusted the candidates of the black party more.But whoever is in the limelight, the Greens' style will probably never be appreciated by his mother.

"I've heard it's a 'traffic light'?" he said with interest. "I left them as if they were new, and now they're in power. So how's the performance? Are they still going up? "

"They're messing around." Yu Qingshu said, pursing his lips tightly out of annoyance.

"Environmental protection is in the limelight, but I do feel that this year is much hotter. If this happens every year in the future, many people will definitely not be able to stand it. Besides, there are sanctions... Fortunately, their attitude towards immigrants is not bad , I see people on the Internet proposing to protect government jobs."

Yu Qingshu immediately denied his optimistic evaluation, and began to analyze how much trouble those policies that seem to be inclined to help immigrants will cause in terms of implementation.When she talked about the rising crime rate, there were always many vivid and cruel examples to cite, and the eloquence forged by her profession made it impossible for Luo Binhan to refute.However, Luo Binhan didn't intend to refute at first. When talking about local politics, he was just playing the role of taking over the topic.Who else but him?It's impossible for his mother to find another person in this house who can talk about "vulgar things" like the political situation, Yu Xiaorong will run away in 3 minutes, and there is no evidence that Malcolm knows their current prime minister name.

In fact, Luo Binhan doesn’t know much more than these two people. He is just a foreigner who visits relatives here regularly. What connects him with this place is not complicated public life, but a small house and the family members it accommodates.But he has a set of chatting skills that avoids the important and ignores the trivial, and can push his mother to talk on his own, while he just needs to cooperate and be silly.He did enjoy talking like this, and it had nothing to do with the specifics of the conversation, it was just that when his mother was talking about something, she looked so bright and full of energy.He can even filter out the specific content of the conversation completely while watching his mother's mood changes.Those subtleties were completely inherited by Yu Xiaorong, he could almost imitate a young version of Yu Qingshu.

"It's impossible for them to calculate how many refugees there will be," Yu Qingshu said sharply. "Climate refugees! How did you come up with it? How do you review and manage it? Who will bear the welfare protection? They have to manage the environmental changes of the entire world." , and want to shut down all the nuclear plants. I hope they better really figure out the cost of this."

"A beautiful vision for all mankind." Luo Binhan said perfunctorily, "How is the development of wind and power now? I think it can replace at least part of it?"

"No, they still mainly use fossil energy now."

"It seems that everyone is quite frightened by the exploding nuclear power plant." Luo Binhan murmured, "I'm going to look at fossil energy stocks again."…

"You're already late."

"I can't study stock prices in the rainforest, Mom. Give me some new ideas."

"Look at new energy storage - it depends on whether there will be a breakthrough in technology. You know, wind and solar power are not stable. If you want to make them more useful, you have to look at how to store them."

"Sounds promising."

"But it may be a scam." Yu Qingshu warned, "Don't invest too much in industries you don't understand."

"What are you doing?" Luo Binhan said, "Just treat me as a sacrifice for the beautiful vision of all mankind."

Yu Qingshu glared at him, but finally smiled, completely forgetting her many dissatisfaction with the new political party and radical reform.The impact of these policies on Regenberg is still indirect and insignificant for the time being, and no one can say exactly what the future will hold.Things could still get better...even if the general trend isn't.

Luo Binhan thought of Momolo again.He didn't know where Momolo was exactly now, nor what he was doing, because the latter didn't want to tell him.In the early morning in the wetland, the Yongguang Clan woke him up from Liyuan's succubus, making Luo Binhan think that he would really stay in Lihai City.But when he started the car, Momolo opened the door and backed out slowly.

"Mr. Luo, I have to leave for a while."

Robin Han looked at him questioningly.At that time, there was an expression on the faces of the Yongguang people that made him feel suspicious, mixed with determination and...he thought it was guilt, in short, something that symbolized bad news.He asked Momolo what was going on, and Momolo just said, "It's something I have to do on my own."

"Then...you will leave this planet?"

"No, Mr. Luo, I will always be here. If you encounter any danger, please notify me immediately."

At that time, Luo Binhan just shook his head.He should have talked him out of it, but he was so annoyed at the time—it seemed like everyone was hiding something from him, and not like a birthday surprise, but like a critical illness notice.

He took a lot of effort to restrain himself, and didn't turn this annoyance into rude and harsh words to vent, but asked the other party flatly if he needed something else—money?documents?connections?Momolo always shook his head in denial.He didn't need anything Robin Han could offer, unless Robin Han himself was in trouble.

"Okay," Luo Binhan finally said, "then, have a good trip?"

Something in his tone must have disturbed Momolo.The Yongguang Clan looked at him hesitantly, but Luo Binhan just waved to him.So Momolo turned around and walked towards the sun through the grass, until his back was completely melted in the orange-gold morning light.That scene was as dramatic as a movie camera, and he almost doubted that Momolo really disappeared out of thin air.

But now he's starting to regret it.In any case, Momolo was probably the one who concealed him the least on the entire Silence, and had already saved his life many times.He really shouldn't blame Momolo for all the things that don't go his way.So just last night, he took the initiative to contact Momoro, wanting to know the other party's situation, but Momoro sent him a photo, an interior photo of a sleeper train. …

He still didn't reveal the specific itinerary to Luo Binhan, but once he thought of the Yongguang clan sitting by the car window, showing loving and novel eyes to every passenger, this scene was enough to make Luo Binhan feel funny.He also sent Momoro a bunch of emojis on the theme of special shooting dramas, and finally he couldn't be angry with those things that were hidden from him - just as if Momoro was going to travel around Buddhist temples, he said to himself .No big deal, when Momolo got tired of the train ride, maybe one day he would pop up outside his apartment with a smiling face poking out the door.

There was indeed a face protruding from the door, with an innocent smile that was very much in line with Luo Binhan's imagination.But when Luo Binhan took a closer look, he immediately recognized that it was the head of a girl with shoulder-length blond hair and thin gold-rimmed glasses.Her emerald eyes were alert and curious, and her bangs were slid to one side for a playful look.

Luo Binhan made eye contact with her, but failed to recognize her right away.He gave her a dry smile in bewilderment, until Yu Qingshu turned around following his line of sight and found their guest.

"Hannah!" she said.

The person by the door came out, wearing a white sleeveless shirt and a dark gray knee-length skirt, shiny black leather shoes, with a bowknot inlaid with pearls on the front, looking like a college lady.She is about half a head shorter than Yu Xiaorong, but she looks plumper and slimmer.Her shoulder-length blond hair was carefully styled, with smooth, neat ends.Standing here, obviously only two and a half years have passed, Robin Han could barely recognize her as the Hannah Zahn who wore black-rimmed glasses in the past.

"Hello, handsome guy." She said to Luo Binhan in English, "Did I bother you?"

Luo Binhan greeted her with a polite smile, not knowing how to respond.Hannah Zahn doesn't speak Chinese, and his English isn't good enough to argue with people casually.And from the other party's sweet smile, he faintly felt something was wrong.

He has always had this impression of her, and he believes that the girl who can be with Yu Xiaorong is definitely not a kind girl, and she hides all weirdness under her superficial cuteness.Sometimes he is more wary of her than Yu Xiaorong, because the former is just a Fauvist who sniffs by intuition, and this girl has always been a bad girl.

"Hello, Hannah," he said, looking out the door.He couldn't find Yu Xiaorong, but Hannah Zahn was still smiling at him.Luo Binhan felt a little hairy.

"Jennia asked me to do a group project," Hannah said in a tone of innocent eagerness. "She said we could sleep together tonight, is that okay? Our group work is really urgent!"

Yu Qingshu said in her most cordial tone: "Of course, dear. As long as your parents agree."

"They've agreed."

Hannah Zahn turned her face happily, and faced Robinhan again.Her enthusiasm and enthusiasm aggravated Luo Binhan's suspicion.

"How about Africa?" She opened her bright green eyes, "What experience do you have?"

"Interesting." Robin Han said.

"Be more specific?"

Luo Binhan smiled at her: "It's so interesting."

Hannah Zahn blinked twice without showing any disappointment.She continued the topic smoothly: "I think it is also a fascinating place. I have read a lot about it! Tropical rainforest is amazing, isn't it? There are all kinds of trees, like rosewood And arrowwood—they say the sap of the arrowwood seals the throat? Is that true?"  …

"Maybe." Luo Binhan replied kindly, "I haven't tried it myself."

"So what do you eat when you're stuck in the woods? Wild plantains? Baobab fruit? Insects?"

"Biscuits and jerky. I have been following the command of the guide, and I have never left."

Hannah sighed in disappointment.

"Have you never tried it?" she asked almost pitifully. "I've heard that the baobab fruit tastes like real bread."

"It's actually not that similar," Robin Han said, "Jenia has a lobster in the basement, do you want her to take you to see it?"

"I've heard Jania talk about the lobster, but she's busy entertaining. In fact, she sent me to call you."

"guest?"

Luo Binhan stood up from his chair.He was surprised that Malcolm would be there on the first day.According to the nature of the artist, it would be Wednesday or Thursday, but as a father who loves his daughter, it is not impossible to make an exception and board the flight early.He glanced at Yu Qingshu, but the latter's expression was a bit intriguing.But there's no need to think about it now, he walked out of the study quickly and stood in the corridor on the second floor overlooking the living room.

There were indeed two people in the living room.They must have been very light when they came in, so that Luo Binhan didn't hear at all.And if Malcolm really came, let alone the artist would take the initiative to hug people everywhere, Leo alone would be earth-shattering.

At this moment, there are two people sitting on the opposite ends of the sofa, looking at each other without saying a word.From Luo Binhan's position, you can see Yu Xiaorong's tense face, Leo is lying at her feet, and the person opposite her only shows the back of his head.Yet that is enough.Just relying on the back of his head, Luo Binhan opened his mouth wide.Surely he couldn't be mistaken.

"Ah!" Yu Qingshu said, "Zhou Yu!"

The guest on the sofa looked back.Now even the possibility of the same shape of the back of the head has completely disappeared.Luo Binhan really saw Zhou Yu sitting on the sofa in the living room of Yu Xiaorong's house, with two distinct dark circles under his eyes, greeting Yu Qingshu haggardly.

"Aunt Yu, long time no see."

"Why didn't you call me before you came? I can drive to the airport to pick you up."

Yu Qingshu has already walked quickly to the ground floor.Before Zhou Yu got up, she held Zhou Yu's shoulders: "You're welcome, let Auntie take a good look at it. Oh, you've grown up so much in a blink of an eye. Why do you have circles under your eyes at such a young age? What's wrong with your hand? Wearing such thick gloves in the current weather?"

"It's okay, I accidentally got burned..."

"Why are you so careless?" Yu Qingshu said reproachfully, "I see you used your father's scalpel to play with when you were a child. The blade is thin and sharp, and it will bleed if you don't pay attention. The dangerous objects you usually come into contact with at work More, pay attention to yourself."

Zhou Yu agreed in a daze, and began to look around, as if looking for someone who could save her from the care of her elders.He caught Luo Binhan who was still in a daze in the corridor on the second floor, and the latter also realized that he was duty-bound right now.

"Uh, Mom." He went downstairs and said, "You knew Zhou Yu was coming?"

Yu Qingshu giggled like a little girl again: "I found out last Friday. Zhou Yu contacted me suddenly and said that he was going to come to our place on business. I didn't know you were back then! I haven't seen him, and I'm still worried..."

"I've seen it now." Yu Xiaorong interjected, "You should have said you had guests, Mom."

"I want to give your brother a surprise." Yu Qingshu said, "But Zhou Yu, why didn't you tell me that Han Han has arrived in Lihai City."

Zhou Yu has been completely defeated by Yu Qingshu's well-trained speech speed.He still said blankly: "I thought..."

"He thought I had already told you." Luo Binhan took up the conversation, "And I thought he was on a business trip elsewhere!"

"Originally, the project schedule is full, so it's inconvenient to disturb." Zhou Yu explained, "But there are temporary changes, and I want to stay here for a few more days, so I want to come and visit."

"What a coincidence." Yu Xiaorong said.

Luo Binhan glanced at her in confusion, for some reason her voice sounded like gunpowder.He felt that he might be supercilious, because Yu Xiaorong was not very polite when speaking.But he found that Yu Xiaorong didn't stare at Zhou Yu, but kept looking at him instead.What did he do to annoy her again?He couldn't think of anything.Maybe Yu Xiaorong just doesn't like strangers living in the house, she has this sense of territory since she was a child.

"Are you going to live here?" He asked Zhou Yu directly, "Is it convenient to go to and from work?"

"There is no problem going back and forth, but there may be temporary jobs at night. I have already asked nearby hotels and homestays..."

"What are you talking about!" Yu Qingshu interrupted him, "I've come to my aunt, how can I let you go out to live. You can't speak German, so what if something happens when you live alone? It happens that my aunt is on her annual leave this week. , if you have something urgent to go to the city, I'll just drive you."

"Then...thank you, Aunt Yu."

"It's still the same as when I was a child." Yu Qingshu said.She was already preparing to move Zhou Yu's luggage, and Luo Binhan quickly took over.

"Mom, I'll just come."

"The upstairs guest room has to be tidied up." Yu Qingshu urged, "I think it's sunny there, and it's being used as a fitness room. You can move all the sundries away, and then put that old bed out of bed later." Find it in the basement."

"There's no need to be so troublesome." Luo Binhan said, "Zhou Yu can just share a room with me, a bed on the floor. He's not an ordinary guest."

Zhou Yu seemed to have grabbed a telegraph pole in Yu Qingshu's whirlwind greeting, and immediately held on tightly: "That's all right, don't need to be too troublesome."

"Well, you can figure it out for yourself."

Yu Qingshu looked around at everyone in the living room.She seemed to be thinking about something, finally nodded, and said in a slightly surprised and joyful tone: "It's rare that so many people come to the house."

"There's also Mal." Yu Xiaorong said.

"The actors are all on stage." Hannah Zahn concluded playfully, "The drama is coming soon."
