The next day, He Zhi came to the company early in the morning, called the head of the laboratory upstairs, and discussed with him the feasibility of a full-body sensor system.

"This... Mr. He, our technology really can't do it," the person in charge said cautiously, "We only have the technology of partial application of sensors, and the whole system is the technology of the military. The Logan headquarters may have the ability to do this... "

He Zhi waved him out, thinking about how to bypass his father and let the laboratory at Logan headquarters serve him.

He had to go to Logan as soon as possible.

At this time, his communicator vibrated, it was a direct call from his father He Yongchen.

He Zhi picked it up, and it was a fucking video call. He Zhi pointed the camera out of the window and accepted the call invitation.

"He Zhi," He Yongchen sat in his office, with the light behind his back, and went straight in, "I heard you're in a relationship?"

He Zhi was stunned for a moment, thinking that his mother had told his father, so he nodded, "Well, but he is shy, so I will bring you to see you later."

"Have you checked the details?" He Yongchen knocked on the table.

"You didn't check for me?" He Zhi smiled and asked.

Ji Mao has built his resume perfectly in Wanyou.com. Most middle-level people can complete their study and life on the Internet. There are many lonely people. Even if no one remembers him, it is not surprising.

He Yongchen looked at the blue sky over He Zhi's side for a while, and then said: "We will not interfere in your love life, but after the mid-month press conference, you have to come to Logan. Logan and your small technology company cannot be together on the same day. Language, get ready, don't embarrass me."

He Zhi whispered "Got it", and He Yongchen cut off the signal.

He Zhi watched the light of the communicator dim, and couldn't help but press it again. He looked at the sleeping photo of Ji Mao he secretly took last night, and thought for a while before continuing to work. On his desk was the new holographic The preparatory plan for the game pod press conference.

The game cabin press conference is scheduled for the evening of the 16th. Now the game test of the TL12 cabin in the test cabin has been completely completed. As long as the maintenance and update of the entire system and the strength adjustment test of the game cabin are completed, it can be put into production.

He Zhi simply looked at the plan and asked the secretary, "Have you confirmed the list of participants for the press conference?"

"Confirmed," the secretary immediately called up the venue map for He Zhi's reference, "All the attendees in the media area and guest area have been confirmed."

"Arrange another seat for me," He Zhi said, "in the front row of guests, away from my parents."

The secretary nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll make another invitation letter..."

"No need," He Zhi interrupted him, "Just give him a place, and I'll bring him here."

The well-trained secretary was stunned for a moment before agreeing.

The person who can be brought here by He Zhi himself must be Logan's future princess, and I don't know how the other party can withstand He Zhi's sudden anger and successfully break through his defense.

The secretary opened the document on the official board and asked about He Ming's brand information.

"His name is Ji Mao," He Zhi suddenly paused, and told the secretary, "Ji for discipline, Mao for Zichou Yinmao. Don't write anything else."

The secretary nodded and went out.

In the afternoon, He Zhi received a message from Ji Mao, saying that he had resigned.

He Zhi asked him why, but Ji Mao refused to say anything, and he refused to talk to He Zhi. He Zhi had nothing to do with him, so he sent a message to ask him, "Can I still come to pick you up?"

After more than half an hour, Ji Mao answered him: "Yes."

He Zhi followed his old habit and drove to pick up Ji Mao after get off work.

Ji Mao was waiting for him at the door of the modeling room, holding the parting gift given to him by the store manager in his hand, looking bored.

The weather was a bit gloomy, and Ji Mao was not very happy looking at it. He got into the car and sat thoughtfully without saying a word.

"Why did you resign suddenly?" He Zhi asked him.

Ji Mao looked ahead and said, "It doesn't make much sense if you say that I work in the vintage modeling studio."

"I didn't say anything." He Zhi also looked ahead, clearing himself of responsibility.

"I'm not suitable for meeting people," Ji Mao thought for a while and said, "I'm not ready."

How did He Zhi feel familiar when he heard these words: "I must have said that."

"I think it makes sense," Ji Mao said, "Jerry cut his hand today, and a customer asked him to get a haircut. You know, none of us can cut hair, only use a hairdresser. Jerry has learned a little bit, But he couldn't do it well, so he accidentally cut his hand, and the blood dripped on the ground."

"Are you afraid that you won't bleed if you cut it?" He Zhi asked him.

Ji Mao shook his head and told him: "No."

He paused for a while, and then said again: "You don't know how much I envy him, being able to be a human being. But I am so different."

He Zhi likes faces with a melancholy temperament, so when Ji Mao has no expression on his face, he looks very unhappy. If it was just an inflatable doll to vent desire, such an expression would make He intellectually exalted, but he is Ji Mao.

He Zhi's heart tightened, and he wanted to comfort Ji Mao, telling him "it's nothing different", but they both knew that this was not true, and telling lies would not make people feel better.

He Zhi secretly touched Ji Mao's fingertips with his right hand, and said lightly, "You don't know how many people envy you, I'll be your driver."

Ji Mao glanced at him and said nothing.

What Ji Mao didn't say was that he was always worried about Shen Zhiyu's safety.

It has been four months and eighteen days since Shen Zhiyu resigned from Qianzhan Technology. Ji Mao obediently did not search for anything about him, but he had a premonition that Shen Zhiyu was not doing well.

But Ji Mao had such a good life, he kept running away. He fabricated an identity for himself, and wasted his time in the retro modeling room. Outside the window, the early summer sun in June could not shine on him, and the wind from east to west could not blow him. Ji Mao was different from any human being. Shen Zhiyu made him Created, but like a loving mother who spoils the child lawlessly, he doesn't want Ji Mao to take more responsibility.

Shen Zhiyu is an idealist, and Ji Mao needs to shoulder far more things than he does now.

The car rounded a corner, and Ji Mao suddenly sat up straight.

"Stop for a moment." Ji Mao patted He Zhi's hand, and pointed to the place where there was a long queue not far away.

"What?" He Zhi asked him, while parking the car on the side of the road.

Ji Mao said: "Wait for me, this is a very popular ice cream shop recently, opened by a graduate of the new gene project, mixed with a special effect agent, which does not affect the body's functions, allowing you to see it half an hour later. rainbow."

He Zhi took his hand, looked at the line from the door to the street corner, frowned and said, "You can't eat, why join in the fun?"

Ji Mao ignored He Zhi's statement of seeking truth from facts, and persistently went to line up.

Seeing him crossing the street, He Zhi also got off the car, and walked over to line up with him.

Ji Mao tilted his head and said to He Zhi, "Why didn't you wait for me in the car?"

"I'm cheap." He Zhi said concisely.

Ji Mao pursed his lips and smiled, and grabbed He Zhi's hand. He Zhi lowered his head, inserted his finger into Ji Mao's five fingers, and interlocked with his.

The people who came to line up were all well-dressed upper-class girls holding parasols, talking and laughing, and the two big men, He Zhi and Ji Mao, stood there, looking out of place.

The girls are all polite, even if they have 10,000 guesses in their minds, they will not turn their heads to look at them.

The line moved forward slowly. After queuing for ten minutes, it was only halfway there. He Zhi raised his hand in his trouser pocket and looked at his watch.

Ji Mao knew that He Zhi would be impatient, so when he looked up, his face was a little dark, so he said, "Go to the car."

"No." He Zhi said.

Just as Ji Mao was about to say something, a girl behind him called him, "Jimmy!"

He Zhi and Ji Mao turned their faces to look at the same time, a thin girl with short hair equal to her ears smiled and waved to Ji Mao: "Why did I meet you here?"

This is a client of Ji Mao, who comes to the styling room every week to chat with Ji Mao.

She once had an affair with a lower-block boy whom she never saw after her parents found out. According to her guardian's request, the people from the Class Management Bureau came to clean her memory once, but it was not completely successful. She still remembered a small part of the details of being with the other party.

She likes to go to places where the lower classes gather, it makes her feel familiar and warm.

"Is this your boyfriend?" The girl looked at He Zhi curiously.

Ji Mao also took a look at He Zhi, and just about to change the subject, He Zhi said generously, "Yes."

His calmness made Ji Mao startled, and he began to think about when they suddenly fell in love.

Ji Mao was so thinking that he forgot the time, as if he was in the queue in a second. The sales robot asked him which flavor to choose, and Ji Mao chose Cherry Baileys, his favorite flavor in the past.

After a while, the robot handed his ice cream out of the window, and Ji Mao handed it to He Zhi.

"Wow, Cherry Baileys," the girl asked Ji Mao, "Are you still trying to lose weight?"

Holding the ice cream, He Zhi asked her, "Even you know about his weight loss?"

"Everyone knows, everyone knows," the girl smiled and ordered an ice cream of the same flavor, and said to Ji Mao, "But this is Cherry Baileys."

He Zhi hadn't eaten these at all, he took a bite of the tip of the ice cream, and the rich sweetness melted on the tip of his tongue, carrying the mellow aroma of wine.

"I won't eat." Ji Mao said to the girl righteously.

"Then you won't be able to see the rainbow." The girl took her ice cream and said regretfully to Ji Mao.

He Zhi said, "It doesn't matter, he has me."

The girl's vehicle was not far away, as soon as she approached, the door moved away, she and Ji Mao waved, sat in, pressed the window again, wanted to say goodbye to Ji Mao again, and saw He Zhi The other hand held Ji Mao's shoulder, pulled Ji Mao closer, and kissed him in broad daylight.

She silently pressed the window back, chose the address of her newly rented house, and moved forward at three times the usual speed.

"Have you tasted it yet?" He Zhi didn't kiss for a few seconds before letting go of Ji Mao and asking him.

Ji Mao said, "No."

He Zhi shook his head, and pulled him into the car: "If you don't have it, you don't have it, as long as you can see the rainbow."

Ji Mao got into the car without knowing why, watching He Zhi rush home all the way, and caught himself in the yard, He Zhi turned on a spotlight on the roof, and it hit the lawn of the garden straight, like the sun shining on the lawn. On the ground, Ji Mao couldn't feel the heat, but he could feel the light.

After turning on the light, He Zhi went around to the back of the house and dragged out a water pipe. Ji Mao stood aside and watched blankly as He Zhi washed the lawn with water jets, and then a very small rainbow appeared above the lawn. Really small and shallow, but also really a rainbow.

"Did you see it?" He Zhi threw the water pipe, looked at Ji Mao, he got close to Ji Mao but didn't kiss him, but told him, "You are the same."

So after half an hour, He Zhi grabbed Ji Mao to exercise upstairs, and said that Ji Mao had a rainbow on his body, but Ji Mao forgave him, and was not angry at He Zhi's lack of quality in bed.

On the eve of the press conference, He Zhi and Ji Mao were alone at home.

He Zhi watched the idol drama broadcast on the wall screen, so he walked over with a water glass, pretending to be casual and told Ji Mao: "Tomorrow Qianzhan Technology's holographic game cabin development conference."

Ji Mao let out a "hmm", he was communicating with others through the Internet.

In the past few days, Ji Mao has found an illegal job with considerable income. He writes high-standard professional papers for students on Wanyou.com. Ji Mao's clients are all elite-educated upper-class students. He has a secret channel to protect Students' privacy, to ensure that they will not be discovered by the network supervision department.

Moreover, Ji Mao not only provides perfect papers, but also communicates with students to answer questions to ensure that they pass the test. After he made an order, the student who was almost expelled really got a high score and introduced many classmates to him.

Ji Mao multi-threaded work, kept in touch with many people at the same time at a leisurely pace, and said to He Zhi, "I know, the media reports are overwhelming, and the holographic game cabin TLa is the final work of Prince Logan. "

"You go with me tomorrow night." He Zhi sat down and said to Ji Mao.

Ji Mao turned his head and stared at He Zhi, but didn't speak.

"Okay." He Zhi put the water glass aside, grabbed Ji Mao's shoulder and pulled him to his side, "Come and see me show off."

"My face..." Ji Mao hesitated, He Zhi's assistant must have seen his appearance.

"It doesn't matter, just wear a mask," He knew.

In fact, the assistant will not talk too much, and secondly, with the advancement of plastic surgery technology, it is not difficult for him, He Zhi, to find someone to make him look like he likes.

But in order to reassure Ji Mao, he still said: "I promise I won't take pictures of you."

He placed Ji Mao in the dead corner of the live camera, in the shadow area between the two lights, so no one could see him except He Zhi.

So the next night, He Zhi took Ji Mao to dress up and took him to the press conference.

The press conference was surrounded by wall curtains on five sides, and the advertisement of the TLa game cabin was played repeatedly. A man wandered in the deep and vast space, dived into the endless deep sea, kissed the beautiful woman, and hit the ball with a swing, and then his broken hair was blown by the sea breeze. , a face appeared in front of him.

Ji Mao followed his assistant to his place, and when he saw the picture on the wall, he paused.

This is a scene from The Last Day, this is his face.

"Mr. Ji?" The assistant felt that Ji Mao had stopped, so he turned to ask him, "What's wrong?"

Ji Mao shook his head: "Nothing."

He Zhi asked Ji Mao to watch his press conference mainly for the sake of being handsome.

He stood on the stage in a suit and leather shoes, and when the wall curtain of the entire hall transformed into a scene in the game cabin, He Zhi began to introduce in an orderly manner.

Ji Mao sat in the dark, wearing a mask, and an upper-class man in a suit and leather shoes sat next to him. He looked at him with some doubts in his eyes, but he didn't ask any questions.

He Zhi's parents were sitting in the middle, and the screen hanging above the center would flash the face of Luo Yongchen, chairman of the Logan Group, from time to time, fully hinting at He Zhi's identity and where he would go in the future.

The press conference entered the media questioning session, and He Zhi answered all the questions that were modeled at the beginning.

Towards the end, a reporter from Fashion Weekly asked what Tla means to He Zhi personally.

"Tla is of course of great significance to me," He Zhi gestured in mid-air, and the five screens turned into dark flowing images at the same time. He knew, "This is my farewell to Qianzhan Technology. .”

After finishing speaking, He Zhi glanced in his father's direction, and the camera immediately turned to He Yongchen, and the media in the back row sighed clearly.

At this time, the reporter asked He Zhi another sensitive question, whether there was any emotional development when bidding farewell to Qianzhan Technology.

Normally, He Zhi would not answer this kind of question. The host just wanted to bypass the topic, but He Zhi interrupted him.

"It's not good to say these things on this occasion. Everyone here is here to attend the press conference, not to care about my private life." He Zhi said in a business-like manner.

The reporter was originally entrusted to ask this question, but he didn't expect He Zhi to really answer, but He Zhi changed the subject and said: "However, there are indeed too many people who pay attention to my private life, so I choose to be in my private life." Say it first when you are working at Qianzhan Technology, rather than wait until you go to Logan Group to announce.”

The venue, which was originally full of discussions, fell silent in an instant.

"TLa is not only the end and the starting point for me," He Zhi lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and then said, "It also brought me a relationship."

A few seconds later, the audience was in an uproar. He Yongchen frowned slightly, but Fu Haoyin who was sitting next to him was very moved.

The number of viewers of the live press conference on Wanyou.com skyrocketed, and all the media went crazy and inserted urgent news on the homepage and social networks.

No matter how low-key He Zhi is and how indifferent he is to activities in the public eye, his special identity and almost non-existent scandals make the media and the upper class pay close attention to his marriage and love status. The last problem can be seen.

Ji Mao looked at He Zhi from the audience, but He Zhi didn't look at him. He explained some things and ended his speech.

The post-event interview time of the press conference finally came. People in the financial and technology media were as ready to move as gossip magazines, but He Zhi stepped down, and the general manager of Qianzhan Technology came on stage to answer questions.

He Zhi's assistant entered the arena with a low waist, and brought Ji Mao out. Behind the press conference stage, He Zhi was waiting for him.

When Ji Mao walked over, He Zhi naturally took his hand and pulled him towards the elevator.

"How is it?" He Zhi's expression was a little smug.

Ji Mao rolled his eyes and said, "The technical level of this game cabin is pretty good."

After hearing this, He Zhi pressed Ji Mao against the wall of the elevator, threatening him: "I'll give you a chance to answer again."

Ji Mao said, "Very powerful."

"Where is it so powerful?" He Zhi lowered his head and touched Ji Mao's forehead with his lips, and asked again.

"Private life is amazing." Ji Mao closed his eyes and kissed He Zhi carelessly, "everywhere is amazing."

Before He Zhi could savor Ji Mao's kiss carefully, the door of the elevator opened.

He Zhi pulled Ji Mao into a car, Ji Mao looked at this car, no matter how it looked, it looked familiar, it was very similar to the one in The Last Day.

"This is the most similar one." He Zhi noticed Ji Mao's gaze, and said awkwardly, "The last model in the game was integrated in 2056, and the design doesn't know how to do homework."

Ji Mao sat in, fastened his seat belt obediently, and asked He Zhi, "Where are we going?"

He Zhi drove the car and got on the road. They were at the exhibition center in the upper central block. The wide road was clean and spotless. The full moon shone brightly on the road. He Zhi lowered the roof of the car to let the natural wind blow watching them.

Ji Mao saw his hair floating in front of his eyes, so there was wind.

"There is no sea in city A, I'll show you Beiheng Bay at night." He Zhi said, looking ahead.

Hengwan is the largest lake in City A, and the edge is almost invisible. If it is a vehicle, it only takes 10 minutes to fly at high speed, but He Zhi drove for an hour before reaching Beihengwan.

Beiheng Bay is located on the outskirts of City A. You have to pass through a forest park to see the illuminated cross-lake bridge and the quietest lakeshore.

He Zhi's ID card passed the identification, and he drove Ji Mao to the lake.

The starlight, like a light source that will never disappear, enveloped them and sprinkled on the lake.

He Zhi looked at Ji Mao, nervously hesitant to speak, and then hesitant to speak, until Ji Mao pushed the car door and walked out, he couldn't express his love smoothly and maturely.

"Can you come out and take a look?" Ji Mao knocked on He Zhi's car window.

He Zhi came out honestly.

Ji Mao walked to the wooden railing of Hengwan, turned his head and waved to He Zhi, but He Zhi didn't pass by, he opened the trunk, and there was a whole trunk of roses and a bottle of champagne inside.

Ji Mao went back to look again, picked a rose, pinned it on He Zhi's neckline, and praised him: "You are very handsome today."

He Zhi took the wine and said, "When have I never been handsome?"

"He Zhi?" Ji Mao called him, and He Zhi looked down at Ji Mao, and heard Ji Mao seriously ask him, "Would you like to be with me?"

—Would you like to be with me

He Zhi looked at Ji Mao in a daze, and Ji Mao sighed, and said, "If you don't promise me, I'll jump from here."

He pointed to Heng Wan and told He Zhi.

He Zhi's reaction was very slow, he was stunned and did not speak.

Ji Mao walked slowly to the side of the wooden railing, and climbed over the railing unskillfully, only then did He Zhi move, and he came over and stood in front of him.

When He Zhi stood still, Ji Mao nodded his lips and said to him, "It's your turn."

They still kissed through the wooden fence, one of them had physical sensations, and the other had no physical sensations, but the early summer evening breeze and the boundless lake view enveloped them gently, allowing them to become the protagonists smoothly.

Ji Mao is a particularly brave artificial intelligence, considerate but good at rushing away, He Zhi wants to speak first before he has the courage to say it.

Then no matter how casual the lover's confession is, it's like a vow of eternal love, and it will never change.
