Chapter 2: Revealing feelings

At 1:30 p.m. on October 1st, there was a shabby antique shop near Red Square in Moscow. As long as you step inside, customers will definitely notice it is unique. Because just looking at the dilapidated glass windows, you can tell the age of this store. But I never expected that the owner of this store was a young man in his thirties. Every day, he would close the store door early. Due to this quirk, the owners around thought that the store was about to close in his hands a few years ago, but I never expected that the antique shop would last for six years under his control.

When the heavy bell rang a little, the sound of keyboard hitting came faintly in the basement of the antique shop. Although it was dark and dull, and tattered furniture tables and chairs were everywhere, who would have thought that in this inconspicuous basement, there would be supercomputers only equipped by government departments and large international groups. Why? Why is there such a device here?

"Rams, there is work to do. Stop the work in your hands for now. Leave those little things to the little devils below in advance!" The owner of the antique shop, Douglas, was typing on the computer keyboard quickly, keeping his usual high posture at the computer screen.

"I understand Doug. This week, I have a good income. I have used a new online banking theft software. Its functions are really good. I have earned 700,000 US dollars in just a few days! At this rate, we can quickly raise all the funds we need, and then we can wash our hands and keep our lives to support our children. However, what kind of business we are taking on this time, I have to stop the work in my hands?" Rams used an ICQ chat tool that he compiled and encrypted, and he is also a highly skilled computer expert.

"Customers need a flight schedule for all civil aviation in the United States and accurate flight routes, and it is best to get one with the Air Force patrol route map. The reward is very rich, reaching two million US dollars. However, we only have two weeks, and the Civil Aviation Administration is still easy to deal with, but the Secret Document of the S-class of the Department of Defense is not easy to get. Although the profit is attractive, if you are not sure, it's fine. What's the matter? Are you interested?" Douglas thought deeply. Considering that it is still very troublesome to do it alone with his own strength, he could only rely on the Yale University friend Rams.

"Yes, of course, how can I miss such a stimulating life? By the way, which client is interested in the US government? If I guess well, it should not be an individual, but that country or organization, right?" Rams is an authentic Brazilian. He made money with Douglas just to save enough money before he was thirty to enjoy his life. He has never had any good feelings for the United States, so he guessed.

"You don't have to know this clearly. You don't have to do it well. Just do it as I say. Now I'm fine. Everyone prepares the necessary items. It will take twenty-four hours to be online in the next two weeks. I'll contact you again. How about it?" Douglas saw that Rams agreed so readily, raised his mouth and smiled slightly, and muttered softly, "Rams, this guy, still refuses to fight for his future. He only wants to raise money to retire early. If he agreed to start an online company with him five years ago, the result might change and he would not be so miserable. After the company went bankrupt, he sold part of his property to pay off all the bank's debts. Now he can only make a living by making a mistake. I really don't know what the final outcome will be?

Douglas sighed deeply, and sighed in his heart that he had not asked Rams what kind of theft software he used. If it was as useful as he said, he would have to try it after the work was over. The income of 700,000 US dollars a week was a beacon in the dark for him who wanted to make a comeback, at least he saw hope.

I stood alone in the middle of the lawn of the stadium, showering with warm sunshine, looking at the classmates beside me in a despair, smiling and leaving myself, so I also took steps, looking at Han Xue on the rostrum, and walking outside the stadium. Last night's efforts were finally in vain, and I was able to get Han Xue's praise. Today's gains are far enough. She is a goddess who is lofty, and I am just an ordinary person. If you can know her, you should be content and not belong to you. Even if you fight, it is useless. Forget it, forget her. She and I are not the same type of people at all.

Looking at the busy crowd in front of me and listening to the noisy sounds, my mind was blank. Is this the magic of love? So I walked out of the noisy gymnasium with all my heart. Due to traffic control, no cars passed by nearby areas. I shook my head helplessly and had to walk five or six kilometers away, and then I found a taxi to go home.

Han Xue, who I deeply love deeply, finally got rid of the city leaders' "care" and apologized and told him tactfully, "I'm sorry, my sister has something to do with me, so I'll leave first, leaders!"

"Haha, since Xiao Han has something to do, then go!" The deputy mayor who was hosting the event just now reached out and shook hands with Han Xue, patted her on the shoulder, and said encouragemently, "Xiao Han, you are the representative of going out in Suzhou. If you have time, come back to see the counter-disaster in your hometown and make a move!"

"Thank you for your care, I know! Deputy Mayor, be bye!" Han Xue nodded sensiblely, waved to the leader, and turned around and walked off the rostrum.

"Han Xue, you finally got rid of those old guys. I'm waiting for a long time!" Han Rouyu was strolling under the rostrum. Although strangers came forward to talk from time to time, she was concerned about Han Xue, so she naturally didn't give those people a good look. At this time, she saw that her sister finally walked down the steps, so she walked to Han Xue and said complainingly.

"Sister, I'm really sorry. I don't know if this will happen. Let's go to have a meal first and then go to Shanghai. Are you okay?" Han Xue hugged Han Rouyu tightly with apologies, then made a cute face at Han Rouyu, held Han Rouyu's arm intimately, and pulled her outward.

"Okay, I promised you anyway, and it's too late to change now!" Han Rouyu spread his hands helplessly, and had to follow Han Xue's steps and shuttle side by side in the crowd, causing the men around them to stop staring at them one by one. Han Rouyu and Han Xue had long been accustomed to this kind of eyes, maintained their original speed, and went to the special parking lot of the gym to pick up the car.

"Haha, sister, I'm going to Xilai for Western food. Since I'm still a student, I'm embarrassed to have to treat you to my sister. What do you think?" Han Xue buried her head in Han Rouyu's arms and said with a scent.

"Okay, okay! By the way, Han Xue, do mom and dad know that I'll go back to see them?" Although Han Rouyu has forgiven her parents after the passage of time, now she has to face it again, and she can't help but feel nervous.

"Sister, what are you guessing?" Han Xue suddenly stopped when she heard her sister ask the point, blinked her big eyes and asked mysteriously.

"I don't know, good sister, just tell me!" Han Rouyu had no choice but to raise her hand and surrender to Han Xue for mercy.

"Sister, of course I told my parents about such a big thing, but don't worry, they all seemed very happy when they heard you go back to see them, especially my mother. She cried on the phone. Sister, let it go when the past is over, and I don't know if the man still remembers you now. So in my opinion, none of men are good things, either greedy for beauty or other interests. In this society where money is dominant, there is really not much true love." Han Xue saw that the two sisters were walking and seemed particularly prominent in the crowd, so she pulled Han Rouyu to continue walking towards the parking lot. If Han Rouyu had not known Han Xue's personality and knew that she hadn't fallen in love, otherwise strangers would have thought Han Xue was a prodigal son in love.

"You ghost elf, don't talk so much now. If there is really a boy who thought you would give everything, what should you do?" Han Rouyu heard Han Xue mention her former boyfriend, and it was rare that she didn't fall into deep memories. She just replied to Han Xue lightly and shaved her nose gently.

"Hmph, I don't believe it. Those who are just making movies, who are willing to give up everything for a woman!" Han Xue snorted coldly, not believing that there would be the man in Han Rouyu's mouth.

"Hey, if you don't believe it, you're at the age of dating anyway, and you will know some things only if you experience them personally!" As the sisters said, they arrived at the sports car. Han Rouyu took out the key from her bag and sat in the car with Han Xue with the eyes of the surrounding people. The beauty was with a luxury car, forming a beautiful scenery on the side of the road.

In the afternoon of the same day, Han Rouyu accompanied Han Xue to participate in the interview ceremony of Shanghai Oriental TV. With her bright face, outstanding professional qualities, and relaxed tone, the leaders of Oriental TV finally agreed to allow Han Xue to participate in the upcoming fun wisdom program - the Big Winner column, and served as an internship host in the column, and also signed a three-month temporary contract.

That night, Han Xue, who was extremely excited, pulled Han Rouyu back to the villa in the suburbs. Han Rouyu listened to the doorbell of "Ding Dong, Ding Dong", and his heart kept beating. After opening the door, he finally saw two familiar faces. Han Rouyu could no longer hold back her emotions and shouted, "My parents!" With tears of grievance, she quickly threw herself into her parents' arms and enjoyed the long-lost family affection.

"Child, you are finally willing to go home. For you, your mother has cried many times. In the past, parents also considered you in the future. Although the approach was wrong, I believe you should understand your parents' thoughts!" Han Rouyu's father, Han Xiaotian, said that he is a real estate developer from Suzhou and is now a well-known wealthy man in Shanghai. His tall and strong appearance stands with half-old Xu Niang and his heroic wife, so that outsiders can vaguely find their shadows on the faces of Han Xue and Han Rouyu, because the two combine all the advantages of their parents, especially Han Xue, which gathers the essence of the world, making people wonder whether she has undergone professional beauty.

"Dad, mom, my daughter was ignorant before, but my daughter is back today!" Listening to the father's hoarse voice, Han Rouyu could no longer hold back. The grievances she suffered over the years surged out, and tears dripped on Han Jianwei's clothes like a spring. Han Xue beside her was also infected by the scene at this time, helping her father comfort her sister. There is no knot that cannot be broken between the father and daughter. So that night, the Han family finally had the opportunity to sit together to make up for the past emotional cracks, so that Han Rouyu could once again experience the warmth of home, the resentment and confusion of family affection, slowly disappeared with the sublimation of family affection.

Time flies very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, National Day is about to end. At one o'clock in the morning on October 7th, Beijing time, it was the day when I made a Trojan program to open the back door. That night, I greeted my parents early, slept for a night after dinner, turned on the alarm clock at eleven o'clock, and waited for that moment to arrive.

But I didn't feel sleepy at all when I lay on the bed. In the past two weeks, Han Xue's face always appeared in my mind, and it was even clearer when I went to bed at night. So I always tossed and turned around in the bed for a few hours every night. But it's only the hour now, do I have to stay in the bed for four hours? I can't sleep, so I'd better get up.

I got up from the bed thoughtfully and enjoyed the moonlight outside the window. I wonder what Han Xue was doing at this time. Is there anyone else around her? Is she doing well? Countless questions filled my mind, and I felt my brain getting more and more messy. It was impossible to review my homework. I had to take off my clothes, step into the bathroom for the second time within an hour, and take a bath to make my brain clearer.

"Xiaoyu, why are you taking a shower again?" Mom asked in surprise when she saw me running towards the bathroom in her underwear.

"I can't sleep, so take a shower and wake up!" After I finished speaking, the bathroom door was closed, and my mother could only hear the sound of water droplets of the bath in the living room. "I said to Xiaoyu's father, look at our son, have something wrong recently? I feel listless every day and have no vitality. Don't you often do ideological work with others? Give you a chance to talk to your son later. I'm not relieved!" Mom recalled my performance in recent weeks, pulling my father's sleeves and saying with a worry.

"I feel that too. In the past, we always talked and laughed, but now when we get home, he doesn't even say anything. Do you want to take a leave tomorrow and go to his school to ask?" Dad thought for a while and suggested to his wife.

"In recent weeks, I can't ask for leave. You call your son's school and think that Principal Tan asked for a phone call from the director of Xiaoyu Office. This is not simple!" Mom frowned and said.

"Okay, let me take the initiative after talking to my son!" As soon as my father finished speaking, I walked out of the bathroom with my upper body naked, so he hurriedly cared for him: "Xiaoyu, it's already autumn now. Go and put on your clothes. Once you're done, go to the study room. Let's talk to you too!"

"Oh!" I agreed without thinking, muttering in my heart, what are the two big men going to talk about?

※※

"Xiaoyu, tell my dad, have you had something to do recently?" When my dad saw me obediently coming to the study room, he considered that it was inconvenient to talk here, so he hooked my shoulders and came to the spacious independent garden. The father and son sat on the stone bench and prepared to have a chat face to face.

"Xiaoyu, what's wrong? Even Dad doesn't want to tell your concern?" Dad looked at me who was silent and silent, and his heart was very messy. He was sitting in front of him with his own son. He could not communicate with him by treating his subordinates. So Dad finally abandoned the mayor's attitude, put one hand on my shoulder, touched my hair with the other hand, and looked at Pan's listless eyes like a activated father.

What should I do when facing my father’s question? Tell him about my own thoughts? But I know very well that in China, a relatively feudal society, if I told adults that I like a girl at the age of 18, I would definitely be considered precocious. If my mother asked, maybe I would tell her that she had lived abroad with me for more than ten years, and it would be no wonder that these things have been seen a lot. So I looked at my father’s eyes with awkward expression and asked without answering, “Dad, which girl did you like when you were a child?”

"Haha!" Dad obviously didn't expect me to ask this, but he was unnatural, so he had to look at me and smiled foolishly. After a sigh, Dad looked up at the vast night sky, looked at the stars shining under the dark curtains, recalling the past deep in his memory, and then childhood fragments appeared in his eyes, "Xiao Yu, your thoughts are related to feelings?" Dad was a person who had experienced it. When he heard his son's question, he quickly guessed why I was depressed in the past two weeks.

"Yeah!" Looking at the scene my dad showed in the face of my tentative question, it was not as bad as I thought. I felt that he was not the kind of unreasonable parent, so I nodded boldly and looked forward to my dad's answer.

"Hey, kid, it's normal for men to like girls. We are father and son. What can you tell me? Dad is a veteran. If you can't do it well, can you teach you a few tricks? Tell me, are you a classmate from the school?" Pan Weijie smiled and crossed his legs, asking very openly.

It seems that my father is not against falling in love, so all my longing for Han Xue has come to my heart for a few days. Unfortunately, Han Xue is not my classmate. If so, I don’t have to be so fascinated every day. It is the most painful thing to not see him, so I shook my head helplessly.

"Isn't your classmate? Then which school is she from?" Dad was getting less and less confused. In the few months since he returned from the United States, unless he and his wife took him out, it can be said that I almost never leave home and stayed at home to watch TV and read books. But now he has only been to school for a month, and he has made friends with students outside the school. As a father, he can't help but worry about his son, for fear that he will learn bad things.

"Original from Peking University!" I said the name of the highest institution of China without any emotion, and after speaking, I looked at my father's reaction expressionlessly.

"What? Peking University? Son, you are only eighteen years old and want to learn from Nicholas Tse on TV? He is having a sister-brother relationship at a young age?" Dad was almost stunned by his son's answer, looking at me with a blood-faced face, almost wanting to go to the living room to bring my mother to do ideological work for me.

"Dad, where do you want to go? It's not the sister-brother relationship you mentioned. Until now, it's just my unrequited love. She probably forgot me. Besides, she is almost the same age as me, and they have just turned eighteen!" Looking at my father's surprise look, I almost couldn't help laughing, but when I thought of Han Xue, I immediately fell into endless lovesickness again.

"Oh, she was studying one year earlier than you. How do you look? Do you look better than your mother?" After hearing my explanation, my father slowly calmed down. He was a city leader, so he didn't have any concentration. Even if his son was in a sister-brother relationship, he didn't have to be so excited. After his father summed up himself, the man's first reaction was to ask about the woman's appearance. As a father, he couldn't help but fall into clichés.

Although my mother is in her forties, she can vaguely see that she must have been a beauty back then. However, compared with Han Xue, it was simply incomparable. So she didn't care about offending her mother and nodded affirmatively, "It should be much better than my mother when she was younger, and she is the most beautiful one I have ever seen since she grew up. Really, if you don't believe me, come with me!" As I said that, I observed that my father was a little convinced at first, but in the end she turned into a skeptical look. So before he could speak, he ran to my room.

"Xiaoyu, why are you so anxious to get your dad to run away?" Mom was watching TV in the living room when she suddenly saw her son pulling her father toward the bedroom. She asked strangely, and at the same time she communicated with her dad with her eyes, hoping that he could tell the reason.

"I'll tell you later!" My father was pulled by me and it was not convenient to speak, so he had to answer his wife with this.

"Wait!" I pulled my father through the living room. Hey, it seemed that Han Xue appeared on the TV show just now. Because her pair of autumn water and spiritual eyes were deeply imprinted into my memory, I should not read it wrong. So I hurriedly stopped, turned around and pulled my father to the meeting.

Poor father, who is the mayor, feels that his identity has changed with me at this time. It seems that I am me and he is my son. Otherwise, no son would have pulled me around. However, out of his desire to love his son, he just smiled faintly because he owed me too much for more than ten years.

"Dad, it's her. Her name is Han Xue. She is my English teacher's sister. She is a second-year graduate student at the Journalism Department of Peking University!" I stood in front of the 34-inch color TV and saw clearly that she appeared on the TV program. It was Han Xue. So I let go of my hand and pointed at the TV nervously and excitedly and shouted.

"Let me take a look at it!" Dad came to the TV for no reason. Hearing my shout, he quickly took out his reading glasses from his pocket and looked at the TV screen along my gaze.
