After a ten-hour flight, Mo Hexuan arrived in England. The weather in London in September was a little wet and cold.
After adjusting the time difference to the clock in the hall, he dragged his small black suitcase out of the hall.
She was alone.
It was drizzling in the air, and he was wearing a thin amber windbreaker. When he walked out of the main entrance, someone asked him in Chinese where he was going. There was a car to send him. He only politely refused.
There were several coaches parked not far ahead. He quickly walked to the side of the car, opened the door, and got in. The fat driver asked,""Where are we going?" Mo Hexuan said in fluent English,"Swansea") closed his eyes tiredly.
The driver, who was wearing a woolen hat, sized Mo Hexuan up in the rearview mirror. He drove steadily on the road. The driver's driving skills were very good, and there were no bumps along the way.
At the entrance of the hotel he booked, the driver glanced at the luxurious hotel. Then, he looked at Mo Hexuan cautiously. After paying the bill, he carried his small suitcase into the hotel. After reporting his room number, he walked straight to the elevator. He completely ignored the unscrupulous gaze of the blonde girl at the front desk. One of them even shouted,"My God! My，God!”He walked into the elevator without looking back.
The sky was already dark. He walked into the room and looked around the presidential suite. It was no different from the one he had stayed in before. This hotel was the only five-star hotel in this small town.
After a four-hour car ride, she was already hungry. He called the internal line of the room and ordered a meal.
The person who rang the doorbell was the big-eyed girl at the front desk who said," My God." She had exquisite makeup on, and her nose was highlighted. Her watery blue eyes and slightly large mouth were especially prominent, and she had red lipstick on them. Dark red.
She walked in with a smile on her face, holding a tray full of enthusiasm. On the tray was a delicate red rose.
She put down the food and turned around. She said flirtatiously,"If you need help, just ask.”
" No, thank you," Mo Hexuan replied politely. The blonde was obviously a little disappointed.
She plucked up her courage and said,"Perhaps I can take you around."”
Mo Hexuan listened to her patiently and said bluntly,""This is my private time."
The golden-haired girl who came with joy closed the door unhappily and left.
Mo Hexuan finished his meal quietly. Perhaps he was not used to it, but he frowned slightly. He drank his coffee. He was quite satisfied with the coffee. It was more mellow and did not have sugar.
After taking a shower, he turned on the TV and watched some boring variety shows. He turned off the TV and called his friend in England. He asked for Professor Bruce's address and office. He hung up the phone.
He had slept too much during the day, so he didn't feel sleepy at all. This was his first time in Swansea. This was a small city with a population of only 200,000. He checked the local scenery introduction and the introduction of Swansea University. Then, he entered Bruce's name.
Brosnan's profile popped up on the webpage. He had won many "first places." He also listed his contributions to the school and humanity.
He was a typical British old man. His hair was already white and curled on his bald head. His eyes were full of energy. He was dressed like a gentleman and held a pipe in his hand. The fat on his belly made people feel as if he had eaten a sheep. He looked like an easy-going person.
Mo Hexuan was thinking about how to persuade Professor Bruce to go to Guang City with him tomorrow, but he was afraid that he would be an old-fashioned scholar.
Just as he was deep in thought, a heavy rain began. He got up and closed the window, turning off the bright living room lights. He left a bedside lamp on. He looked at the lamp for a while and felt sleepy.
He woke up at dawn. Surprisingly, the view of the sunrise from this room was very good. He looked at it with interest for a long time, so long that he forgot the time.
He called for breakfast, took a shower, and changed into a beige windbreaker.
He had checked the route. It was about an 80-minute walk to Swansea University.
Swansea was a small city surrounded by harbors. The morning breeze blew, and there was a hint of coolness. He walked slowly through the damp streets of Swansea. Not far ahead, there was a square. There was a small lake on the square, and there were a few white pigeons by the lake. They walked around the lake quietly without any intention of leaving.
He walked along the coastline road and finally arrived at the school at 10:15. The school was located between the coast and the mountain. The university campus was located in a beautiful coastal area. Swansea's climate was mild and pleasant, giving people a feeling similar to Kunming.
Most of the buildings in the school were made of red bricks, which was a typical European style. The pointed roof was no different from the church in his impression.
On the way, he asked a student and successfully found Bruce's office in the Biomedicine Building. He came up from the north staircase. His office was on the fourth floor. There were stairs in the north and south of the building.
When he reached the corner of the third floor, the bell rang. Groups of students in white coats walked down the stairs, chatting and laughing. He could only stop and wait for the students to leave first. However, a few of the female students looked at him curiously and did not forget to discuss.
When most of the students had left, a female student without a white coat walked down the stairs to the south. While he was in a daze, his mind seemed to have paused for a moment. Then, he quickly chased after her. At this time, the female student's figure was already gone. He ran around like a madman, looking around. He was a little uncertain, but he felt that the back was so similar. He searched back and forth, not missing a single black-haired student.
On the second floor of the opposite teaching building, there was a pair of clear eyes as clear as the lake. They had long seen the man running around downstairs clearly.
When she realized that someone was chasing her from behind, she quietly ran into the building opposite. When she confirmed that it was him, she could not believe her eyes. Why was he here? Was he here for her? Was it an accident? She had countless questions in her heart. At the same time, his appearance disturbed her already calm heart. She was a little lost. She wanted to shout," I'm here.”But she couldn't. She really couldn't.
She sat on the ground dejectedly. It seemed like a long time had passed. Only then did she get up. She let down her black hair that was tied up high. She tidied her hair. Then, she calmly walked into the crowd.
It was a girl in a gray coat. She had a palm-sized face, big eyes, and a plain face. There was no trace of makeup at all. She walked in the crowd, and the dense crowd could not hide her lonely temperament. Just like that, he disappeared with the crowd.
Mo Hexuan had already searched most of the university, but he couldn't find anything. He suddenly thought of something and ran into the medical biology building. When he reached Professor Bruce's office on the fourth floor, he steadied his breathing. She tidied her hair and knocked on the door.
Bruce was reading a student's paper at this time. When he heard the knock on the door, he looked up. The door was not closed, and he nodded to indicate that he could come in.
Mo Hexuan walked in and Professor Bruce invited him to sit on a leather sofa not far away. She said,"I've been waiting for you for a long time. I thought you weren't coming."”
"This place is too big. I'm lost," Mo Hexuan said apologetically.”
Brosnan smiled. How could he not know that this was an apologetic joke? It did not matter what the truth was. Then he said,"Jack has already told me that you need my help.”
Mo Hexuan said to Bruce with sincere eyes,""I really need it."
Bruce lit the pipe in his hand and said,"How?"
Mo Hexuan smiled and said," My company is researching the virus that you studied before. Only you can help.”
Bruce took a puff of his pipe and puffed out a mouthful of smoke."That's a scary thing. I've already given up.”
Mo Hexuan had expected Bruce to say that. He said calmly,"I'm not researching it for profit, but for the new virus in Africa.”
Professor Bruce calmly removed the pipe from his mouth, stood up, walked to the window, and said,""That virus is incurable."
Mo Hexuan also stood up and walked to the window.""Maybe. Why not try?”
Mo Hexuan's eyes were filled with determination.
" I can't," Professor Bruce said." That would bring disaster to many people.”
Mo Hexuan put his hands behind his back and looked at the sea in the distance."I'm trying to make your contribution more substantial. Are you going to refuse?”
Brosnan no longer looked into the distance. He turned to look at the young man beside him. He was so sincere and confident. He admired this young man and said hesitantly,""I still have a few experiments waiting for me to finish.”
Mo Hexuan smiled as if victory was in sight."You will find a better excuse.”
"Young man, I admire you.”He was the only one who came to find him without any interest.
Mo Hexuan happily reached out his hand and held Bruce's.""Welcome to our team."
Bruce held Mo Hexuan's hand tightly and smiled at each other. It was a deal.
He had achieved his goal this time. He asked Bruce if there was a Chinese student named Fang Yan in their college. Bruce tilted his head and thought for a while before saying no.
Mo Hexuan tossed and turned in the hotel bed, unable to sleep. His heart was swallowed by the night.
The back view of the school made him unable to extricate himself tonight.
During the day, Swansea was filled with warm sunlight. There were no dense crowds, no heavy traffic, and few cars could be seen on the streets. There were many people riding bicycles, and more people chose to walk. Mo Hexuan woke up early in the morning and didn't order breakfast.
He wanted to go to the school to confirm if it was her. He walked slowly along the coastal road to the university. The air here was really good and comfortable, suitable for living. Ye Fuyu would definitely like this place for real life. Swansea was literally translated as "Swan Sea". What a beautiful name.
There were many tourists on the road. Many people could find happiness here. At least, they would not be disappointed. It was a typical coastal city scenery. Even though the small town seemed even quieter at night. The night was more suitable for missing someone. The day was more suitable for a family's life, and they could find peace here. They didn't have to rush around so busily and could stay for a short time. Or rather, this small city was more suitable for healing and emotional wounds.
There were tall parasol trees on both sides of the road. Many roads in the city were lined with wide parasol trees. This seemed to be standard, just like bowls and chopsticks. By the way, overseas, there were plates and knives and forks. Many of the open spaces were filled with lush green grass, so green that it shone. He suspected that it was because of the paint. In order to prove his speculation, he squatted down. He reached out his right hand and gently stroked the grass. As expected, it was just as he had expected. The grass was sprayed green. That was why it was so shiny.
When they arrived at Swansea University, there were very few people on campus. There were a few people in twos and threes. He walked towards the biology building, where he was yesterday. He patiently leaned against the wall, crossed his legs, and put his hands in the pockets of his coat.
The students came down in droves, his eyes never leaving the black-haired person. Even if it was a boy. Finally, everyone had left, but he found nothing. He walked up to the fourth floor and pushed open the doors of the classrooms one by one. However, he had searched the entire fourth floor. He almost suspected that he had missed her so much that he was hallucinating. However, her back view yesterday was so real. He had no choice but to search the school for clues again.
Until the afternoon, he still didn't find anything. He returned to the hotel dejectedly.
In the evening, he went to a small bar not far from the hotel and ordered a glass of dark beer. He sat by the window. This small bar was a wooden hut built on the coast. He turned his head and looked at the calm sea. There was a breeze blowing. The short hair on his forehead was blown by the wind. His perfect side profile was clearly defined. There was a faint green stubble on his chin. It should be because he hadn't shaved for two to three days. His expression was a little lonely, or rather, he was at a loss.
The beautiful waitress at the bar noticed him as soon as he entered. From the bar counter, she saw Mo Hexuan like this. The beautiful waitress walked over with a smile, holding a glass of red wine. Mo Hexuan turned his head and the beautiful waitress said,"" I made the wine. I'll treat you to it. It's free."
Mo Hexuan didn't know why he didn't want to take it, but he still reached out his hand. He said,"Thank you." The beautiful woman just smiled and walked away.
The beautiful waitress had seen many people with such lonely expressions. Everyone had their own stories. She wouldn't disturb him too much. All she could do was send him a glass of soothing liquor. In the way she thought was best.
Mo Hexuan took a sip. It was indeed very strong. He raised his head without hesitation.
He put down the bill and turned to leave.
