It was a bit chilly in the early morning. Su Qingyu held Ding Deping's cold hand affectionately and said, "Aunt Ding, tell me. I promise not to tell anyone."
Ding Deping waved his hands, his tone revealing some embarrassment: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I'm in charge of the sanitation work in that area, and I don't know much."
Su Qingyu looked at Ding Deping with anticipation.
As the saying goes, flattery never wears out.
Su Qingyu stroked the ends of her hair with her fingers, her tone gentle and her praise just right: "Auntie, I think you are really very kind, especially like the best aunt in my family who treats me well. If you don't mind, let's add each other's contact information."
It's never wrong to be sweet-mouthed.
Ding Deping looked at Su Qingyu and felt very friendly. Researchers had a high status in the group. Ding Deping was a junior salesperson, so she was naturally happy to interact with Su Qingyu.
After adding the contact information, Su Qingyu lowered her eyes slightly: "We can chat like elders and juniors. In fact, it's no big deal for you to tell me. I won't tell anyone else, and I won't take it too seriously. Just treat it as a story."
"That's fine." Ding Deping said, "Then I'll tell you an interesting story. Just treat it as a story. Don't take it to heart, and don't tell anyone about it."
Su Qingyu raised two fingers and promised to keep it a secret.
"It's tiring to stand. Let's sit over there." Ding Deping pulled Su Qingyu to the bottom of the building. The two sat on the steps. Ding Deping looked at the twinkling stars in the sky and began to talk about the past.
"You are a researcher, so you should know that our group is mainly studying "it". I don't know what "it" is, but I only know that "it" is a gold nugget. As long as we study it thoroughly, it will be a great merit to the world.
The story I want to tell you is about "it".
I have cleaned the outer corridor of "its" laboratory once or twice. Out of curiosity, I looked inside, but it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything at all.
At that time, the daughter of a pair of researchers often liked to run over there and talk to "it" through the glass.
It seemed to me that the little girl was just talking to the air.
Her parents are researchers, so the little girl comes here every day and no one stops her.
One time, I saw the little girl actually run into the glass cover. I was shocked and wanted to pull the little girl out, but the glass cover was specially made and controlled by a program. I couldn’t open it at all, so I could only notify my leader.
This matter was reported to higher authorities and alarmed the higher-ups. Later, the little girl was rescued. No one knew how she got in, but the miracle was that she was not hurt at all.
You have to know that before this incident, "it" has always been classified as a dangerous species. We all treat "it" as a radioactive object, studying it through special instruments and not daring to touch it directly.
But that little girl seemed different. She told me that she became friends with the thing in the glass cover. No one in the group could talk to "it" directly, but that little girl could. She asked me to keep it a secret, but I... I told her parents about it."
Su Qingyu was listening intently, but Ding Deping did not continue. She asked, "What happened next?"
