Chapter 809 Go downstairs

The heart-moving trajectory along the Thames. The rain in London always comes unexpectedly. Lin Wan clutched the map and struggled through the crowd on Oxford Street. The rain slid down the ribs of the umbrella onto the collar of her coat, and the chill spread along her spine. The navigation on her mobile phone suddenly failed. She looked at the unfamiliar street signs on the street, and a sense of frustration surged in her heart - this was already her third week studying abroad in the UK, but she was still like a snail lost in a maze. "Do you need help?" The deep male voice was accompanied by a hint of smile. Lin Wan looked up, and a boy in a black windbreaker stood in front of her with an umbrella. His eyes behind the lenses were clear and bright, and the coffee cup in his hand was still steaming. He glanced at the wrinkled map in her hand, "Going to Imperial College? I'm on my way." It turned out that his name was Gu Chen, also a student of Imperial College, two years older than Lin Wan. When crossing Trafalgar Square, he pointed to the London Eye in the distance and said, "When the weather is good, you can see the whole of London from there." Lin Wan silently kept this sentence in her heart. Seeing his profile coated with warm light by the street lamp, she suddenly felt that this rain was not so annoying. In the days that followed, the library became the place where they met most often. Lin Wan always reviewed her homework in the old position in the corner, and Gu Chen would always appear in the afternoon, put down a cup of hot cocoa, and give her a note full of key points. "Fluid mechanics this semester is very difficult." He tapped her notebook, "Are you free on the weekend? Take you to a good place." It was a sunny Saturday, and Gu Chen took her to Richmond Park on a bicycle. The large grassland was dyed golden by the sun, and a herd of deer were strolling leisurely in the distance. Lin Wan ran a long way after a white-tailed deer, but when she turned back, she found that Gu Chen was leaning against a tree, with the camera lens pointed at her, with a gentle smile on his lips. "Don't move." He pressed the shutter. "You look like a happy little rabbit when you run." Lin Wan's cheeks were hot, and she suddenly found that her heartbeat was faster than before. That evening, they sat by the Thames, watching the sunset dye the river amber. Gu Chen talked about his experience of coming to the UK with his parents when he was a child, and the days of studying alone, with a hint of loneliness in his voice. Lin Wan silently shared half of her scarf with him, and the wind wrapped around his cedar perfume and gently brushed her nose. The turning point happened on Christmas Eve. There was a problem with Lin Wan's group assignment, the data was completely wrong, and the submission deadline was three days later. She was so anxious that she cried in the laboratory, but she received a call from Gu Chen: "Come down." London was covered in silver after the snow, and Gu Chen stood under the street lamp, with snowflakes falling on his eyelashes. He was holding a large bag of snacks in his hand, and followed by several seniors in the same major. "We are here to help." He rubbed her messy hair, "If you cry again, you will become a little cat." That night, the lights in the laboratory were not turned off all night. Gu Chen sat beside her, his slender fingers rapidly tapping on the keyboard, turning his head from time to time to check her progress. When the morning light was just beginning to appear, they finally finished their homework, and Lin Wan leaned on his shoulder and fell asleep. After school started, Lin Wan found a pot of succulents at her usual seat in the library. On the note paper was Gu Chen's familiar handwriting: "I heard that you always forget to drink water. It's much easier to take care of than you." She went to find him with the flower pot, and ran into him talking to a blonde girl at the door of the laboratory. The girl held his arm affectionately, and Lin Wan's heart sank suddenly, and she turned and ran away. That night, Gu Chen knocked on the door of her dormitory, holding the scarf she had dropped in his hand. "It's not what you think." He was a little flustered, "She is the professor's daughter, and she is asking about the lab report." Lin Wan turned her head away and said nothing, but her eyes were red. Gu Chen suddenly reached out and held her in his arms, "Lin Wan, I like you, since the first time I met you on Oxford Street." After that day, they started dating. Seeing mummies at the British Museum, picking Christmas gifts at Harrods, and kissing when the London Eye reached its highest point. Gu Chen would remember all her preferences, such as sugared latte for breakfast, strawberry-flavored ice cream, and turning on the night light when she was afraid of thunder. However, the test of reality came faster than expected. Lin Wan's parents wanted her to return to China to work after graduation, but Gu Chen had already received an offer from a top scientific research institution, so staying in the UK was the best choice. The quarrel broke out on a rainy night, and Lin Wan cried and asked him, "Where is our future?" Gu Chen was silent for a long time and said, "Give me some time, I will find a way." During that time, they fell into a cold war. Lin Wan buried herself in the thesis, while Gu Chen spent the whole day in the laboratory. Until the day of the graduation ceremony, Lin Wan saw Gu Chen holding a rose at the door of the auditorium. His eyes were bloodshot, but he smiled gently: "I rejected the job and applied for a joint project in China with my tutor. Lin Wan, I don't want to miss you." On the plane back to China, Lin Wan leaned on Gu Chen's shoulder and looked at the sea of ​​clouds outside the window. Along the way, they met, got to know each other, and fell in love in London. They experienced confusion and struggle, but they never let go of each other's hands. She knew that there might be countless challenges in the future, but as long as he was by her side, there was nothing to be afraid of. Many years later, they revisited the old place. Standing on the banks of the Thames, Gu Chen pointed to the London Eye in the distance and said, "Remember? The first time you came to the UK, I wanted to take you there."

Tokyo Maze: Breakout from Despair Tokyo's neon lights were blurred in the rain, and Jack Harris wrapped his black windbreaker tightly and hurried through the streets of Kabukicho, stepping on puddles. As an American software engineer on a business trip to Japan, he wanted to experience Tokyo's nightlife after work, but he didn't expect that this would be the beginning of a nightmare. Turning a narrow alley, three hooded men suddenly jumped out of the shadows. Before Jack could react, a handkerchief soaked in ether covered his mouth and nose. Before his consciousness faded, he heard one of them say in accented English: "Take it back, the boss is waiting anxiously." When he woke up again, Jack found himself tied up in a dim warehouse. The air was filled with the smell of mold and rust, and the incandescent lamp above his head was crackling. Opposite him sat a man with a big backcombed hair and gold-rimmed glasses, and two bodyguards with samurai swords stood beside him. "Mr. Harris, welcome to Tokyo." The man spoke in a low and cold voice, "We need you to crack an encryption program. As long as you cooperate, you will be able to go home soon." Jack's heart tightened. He probably guessed the reason. His company recently developed a top encryption software, but he didn't expect to get into trouble because of it. "I won't help you." Jack gritted his teeth and said. The man sneered and signaled the bodyguard to take action. A sharp pain came from his abdomen. Jack curled up on the ground, but still clenched his teeth tightly.
