"You just had a fight with... that who?"
"No." Adrian sat down next to Finn, frowning, "Why do you always think I'm going to hit him?"
The principal was still giving a speech, and Fein covered his mouth with a souvenir book to prevent his mouth shape from being captured by the camera, "I'm not the only one who thinks so! The principal just started to speak, and whoever opened the door with red eyes came in, looking at You looked like you had been crying, and you came in within two minutes... What happened to you outside just now?"
Adrian sneered: "What red eyes? You have too much imagination."
Fein rolled his eyes and said, "Everyone saw it! If you don't believe me, go back and record it by yourself. When he came in, several cameras surrounded him, and there are any angles you want. Let me tell you, just now the virtual community It's already pinched crazy, no one is discussing what the principal said, they are all guessing what the two of you did just now-you really didn't hit him? Then why is he crying?"
Adrian frowned, and subconsciously wanted to retort, no, he wouldn't cry when he was beaten, and Zhong Yan was definitely not a person who would shed tears because of physical pain.
When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back again.
"No, I met, just said a few words."
He thought about it, and there were really only two sentences, he said two, Zhong Yan said one. Even his two sentences were not directly addressed to Zhong Yan.
His deputy obviously didn't believe it, and snorted, "Come on, you made a non-voting member cry in just two sentences?"
Adrian stared coldly at Finn, who was taken aback by those cold silver eyes, and suddenly realized that he had committed a big taboo—keep mentioning Zhong Yan.
"Whether he is crying or laughing is none of my business? Have you forgotten that seven years ago today, at this time, right here, what did he do to me? Finn, at that time, you were sitting in my chair just like today Beside! Zhong Yan, this person, doesn’t have a heart at all,” Adrian said through gritted teeth, “No, yes, no heart!”
Fein nodded, sitting next to them were all Adrian's direct descendants, current officers of the Na'vi Military Region. Everyone was still listening with interest, but when they saw that the commander was angry, they looked at each other carefully, and suddenly they all became very interested in the principal's speech.
His ears finally became clear, but Adrian couldn't restrain himself from thinking about it... Zhong Yan cried? What is he crying for
He knew that Zhong Yan was an extremely sensitive person, and could struggle with a trivial matter for a long time, but Zhong Yan seldom had any violent mood swings. At least during the three years in school, he had never seen Zhong Yan cry, laugh or get angry. This young man with black hair and black eyes seems to be always calm, always reserved, and always decent. It's hard to believe that this is actually the upbringing cultivated by the orphanage.
Adrian subconsciously looked at the guest seats of the School of Social Sciences.
Sitting at the very head is the old patriarch of the Yate family, Adrian's grandfather Starben Yate. The Yate family is a traditional pro-artificial intelligence family. In the past two centuries, in the history of the development of artificial intelligence, the Yate family has definitely left a strong mark. Until more than 90 years ago, the first generation of artificial intelligence The intelligent "cocoon" was officially retired, replaced by a new generation of more powerful "butterfly", and artificial intelligence began to take full control of human society. The reputation of this family that has always firmly supported artificial intelligence has also reached its peak.
In the eyes of many people, people are not as good as heaven, and this family is exhausted. The current patriarch Staben received only one suggestion to have a child from "Butterfly" when he was young. That time, he and his wife gave birth to a daughter, Adrian's mother. After following the instructions of "Butterfly" to get married and have children, Adrian's married father disappeared, and his mother was depressed and left early, leaving only Adrian as a single seedling in the direct line. However, this single seedling has grown crookedly. He abandoned his solid family background and excellent school experience, and just ruined his future and ran to the poorest star region in the federation.
Of course, at that time, no one thought that anything could happen in this world. In just seven years, a storm of public opinion has swept through the virtual community, and that backward and remote Na'vi star region has become an existence that even capital stars fear.
As a result, the Yate family, who was at odds with the commander-in-chief of the Na'vi military region, seemed even more embarrassed. Patriarch Starben was the former head of the twelve sitting councilors. Three years ago, he resigned from the Supreme Council, and one of the twelve non-voting members became vacant. After more than a year of evaluation, Zhong Yan, who was only 26 years old at the time, finally won the favor of "Butterfly" and sat on the seat. took that position.
It is widely rumored among the people that it was the patriarch of Yate who strongly recommended Zhong Yan to "Bie", which affected "Bie"'s final judgment. The reason why this young congressman was able to rise to power at an astonishing speed was the result of the support of the big family of Arter in many ways. They seemed to have decided to use this to fight against Adrian, who was far away on the other side of the Federation and might break out with them at any time. install.
Adrian hadn't seen his grandfather in person for almost ten years. Because of the different standpoints, after he entered the highest institution, the social circle of Capital Star would avoid him, and the family was also very disappointed in him. His grandfather is obviously old, and now he is talking to Zhong Yan who is sitting on his right, his attitude looks very gentle—he has never been so gentle with his grandson—Zhong Yan also listened obediently and respectfully, Starben is also black-haired, and at such a sudden glance, he and Zhong Yan look like a happy grandparent and grandson.
Adrian sneered. This kind of thing of luring wolves into the house is really thanks to his grandfather who can do it. If he is in the same boat with a white-eyed wolf like Zhong Yan, he is not afraid of being turned over halfway. As for Zhong Yan, after listening to himself criticizing this stubborn old man for three whole years, he can cooperate sincerely with the other party after turning around, which is indeed a good material for a politician.
On the other side, the two briefly exchanged a few words and stopped talking. Zhong Yan was dressed in a black formal suit and sat upright in his seat. He seemed to be listening to the principal's speech very attentively. What's the difference.
What a hypocrisy. Adrian thought.
But there are some people who are so good-looking even when they are pretending. The god of time seems to take special care of this young man. He is already twenty-seven years old, but he still has a flawless face like white porcelain, with cool and beautiful eyes. Years old, graduates who are waiting to go on stage to hear "Butterfly"'s career advice.
What kind of mood did Zhong Yan sit in this auditorium at that time? He is a person who can make long-term plans and take a step after careful consideration. Adrian knows him too well, so he knows that the betrayal on the last day was not a moment of being overwhelmed by power, but a premeditated plan. . Adrian couldn't guess how early this plan was.
Seven years ago, when he walked into this auditorium with Zhong Yan's neck affectionately hooked, Zhong Yan must have predicted the breakup in a few hours, but his expression at that time was as watertight as it is now. How about further? What about when he spread the three-dimensional virtual star map all over the dormitory, and generously described his ideals to Zhong Yan? Did Zhong Yan know at that time that the two would eventually part ways? Going forward, what about when they huddled in the same bed in the early morning and chatted about childhood fun? Is Zhong Yan already planning to inquire about more information about the Yate family so as to contribute to his future? Going forward, they... when they first met
It's ridiculous that he gave far more than his friend's feelings. It wasn't until he was slapped in the face by the other party that he realized that the other party probably didn't give him any sincerity from beginning to end.
My eyes were red just now, probably because of stuffed rabbits. Adrian sneered in his heart, God knows why Zhong Yan is so obsessed with those furry animals, and especially the giant interstellar rabbit. In his opinion, this kind of space land amphibious rabbit is huge, stupid and lazy, and has no advantages at all.
Adrian was distracted. Graduation ceremonies are long and boring, anti-AI factions are divided against pro-artists, and the younger generation is mostly inclined to change, even at this ancient institution. More than half of the graduates rejected the career advice given by "Die" and chose to pay a fine. This situation is not new in the past two years.
After several hours of ceremony, there was only the last student left. According to tradition, the order of the graduation ceremony is the reverse order of the standings, and the finale is held by the student council president.
There was a commotion in the student area at the back. Many people whispered and whispered to each other. The commotion grew louder and louder, causing many guests sitting in the front to turn their heads frequently to see what happened among the students.
"Why," Adrian said impatiently, "Is the president of this year's student council some kind of extraordinary figure?"
Finn beckoned to the student who had just rejected "Butterfly" and said that he would go to the Na'vi star area to apply for a job. The student looked around, and the venue was already chaotic. Everyone was busy whispering, no one would care He didn't follow the rules, so he ran towards the guest table.
Before Finn could ask, the student said with a strange expression: "Adjutant Sister, that's it. Just now, there was a girl from the School of Social Sciences who thought she was too bored. She turned on the shielding device and secretly browsed the virtual community. It happened to be here." Butterfly "When the best match suggestion is announced every week, do you know that many people spend time reading this every week..."
Fein didn't expect someone to be more verbose than him, so he interrupted, "Get to the point!"
"Member Zhong Yan's name is on this week's list."
As these words fell into his ears, Adrian felt a heavy pounding in his heart, and he couldn't tell what it felt like, as if he had been stung by a bee or stepped on the ground.
Fein: "..." As one of the few people who knew the deeper story seven years ago, he subconsciously looked at his friend with concern.
"Look at me!" Adrian snapped, the deep meaning in Fein's eyes made him extremely annoyed, and he couldn't maintain his demeanor, "What kind of idiot has nothing to do with me marrying Zhong Yan?"
The student stared blankly at Adrian, hesitant to speak.
