The restaurant was decorated in a medieval style.
The BBC news was playing on the TV on the wooden cabinet.
On the screen, radical environmentalists pulled up banners on the streets, climbed on the statue of Churchill, blocked traffic, and shouted the slogan "For God's sake, we need to care about the world". They formed a "beautiful landscape" on the streets of London.
Looking at the picture on the TV, a white man in formal attire sitting at the dining table snorted and said.
"They really have nothing better to do."
"Speaking of which, this year's Peace Prize was awarded to an environmentalist?"
"Yes, but obviously a Peace Prize can't appease them. We still have to find a way to solve the problem." The white man in a suit sighed and said, "It would be great if London also had a controllable fusion power station."
"I think those illiterate people who put stupidity into action may make the situation more dangerous."
"… You're right."
Lu Zhou heard the conversation of those people from afar. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the TV, but the news on the TV had already switched to the next report, which was about the food crisis in Central Africa.
While Lu Zhou wasn't paying attention, Chen Yushan quietly moved the sandwich from her plate to his plate. However, even though her movements were very careful, Lu Zhou still didn't look away.
Seeing that her little trick was discovered, Chen Yushan blushed. She decided not to hide it anymore and said softly.
Instead, she spoke softly, "Eat more, don't starve."
"Yeah … You're not eating?"
"I have to control myself a little."
"No need, you're slim enough … And I think you're fine like this."
Chen Yushan wanted to say something, but there were too many people here. In the end, she rolled her eyes at Lu Zhou and began to eat her salad.
Xiao Tong, who was sitting next to the two of them, looked at the two suspiciously. She then poked Lu Zhou's arm with her index finger.
"Brother."
"… What?"
"Are you …"
She bent the index finger of one hand into the shape of an o. Xiao Tong then used the index finger of the other hand to make a 1. However, before she could overlap her hands, she received a knock on the head.
"Ouch!" Xiao Tong screamed and stared at Lu Zhou. She hugged her head and said unhappily, "Why did you hit me?"
"At such a young age, don't let your imagination run wild!"
"I'm not little anymore, okay?!"
"Let's not talk about me." Lu Zhou wiped his mouth with a tissue and said, "How are you doing at Princeton? Did anyone bully you? "
Xiaotong stuck out his tongue and said, "I have such a powerful brother. No one dares to bully me. They all hide far away."
Chen Yushan couldn't help but smile as she watched the bickering siblings. At this time, she suddenly thought of tomorrow's schedule, so she said softly.
"I still have things to deal with at the company. I'll be back in the afternoon. When do you plan to go back?"
Lu Zhou thought for a while and said.
"Maybe tomorrow."
"Then I will wait for you."
After breakfast, Chen Yushan didn't stay here. She left the restaurant. Watching the graceful figure disappear at the corner of the elevator, Xiao Tong retracted his gaze and muttered softly.
"Brother, you guys …"
Lu Zhou didn't give her any chance to pry for information, so he interrupted her with one sentence.
"Eat your food."
"Oh …"
After breakfast, Lu Zhou returned to his room.
Even though he stayed here last night, Chen Yushan had already returned to her room. He called the hotel and bought the bedding in the room. Then Lu Zhou sat at his desk, turned on his computer, and checked his email.
Unsurprisingly, Professor Rudy Dobrik had already replied to his email.
In the email, the Belgian physicist from the University of Brussels used at least an entire page to praise his wisdom and promised him that he would live up to his expectations.
Honestly speaking, when Lu Zhou saw his exaggerated flattery, he was a little nervous.
Because people in academia who were good at flattery were often not proficient in scientific research.
However, when he thought about Professor Sarrot, who he used to work with, and how some scientific research bosses usually replied to emails by their assistants, Lu Zhou settled down a little and decided to give him a chance to prove himself.
In any case, it was better to wait until he went back and read his report before making a decision.
At this moment, the phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.
Lu Zhou got up from his chair and walked forward to pick up the receiver.
"Hello?"
A polite voice came from the other end of the phone. "Hello, dear Professor Lu, I am the administrative secretary of the embassy in Sweden. You can call me Sun Xuewen or Secretary Sun."
Lu Zhou: "What's up?"
Secretary Sun: "Here's the thing, Ambassador Zhang Wenbin wants to meet with you. When do you have time?"
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and said, "I'll go in the afternoon."
"No, no, no, how can we let you go? Of course, we're here to visit you." Secretary Sun quickly smiled and said, "If you have time in the afternoon, how about three o 'clock? It won't take long, maybe an hour. "
"… I'm fine with it, but isn't this too troublesome?"
The man smiled and spoke.
"Of course not, this is the most convenient choice."
In a sense, this was true. Every time Lu Zhou went out in a car, he would have to check the inside and outside of the car three to five times. It was better for them to come in person.
Lu Zhou thought about this in his heart, so he didn't insist.
However, after he hung up the phone, he suddenly remembered that Chen Yushan was going back to China in the afternoon. If he had to meet with Ambassador Zhang, he wouldn't be able to send her to the airport. Therefore, he opened the door and went to her room.
Because Chen Yushan gave him a room card, after Lu Zhou knocked on the door and received permission to enter, he swiped the card and went in.
When he walked into the room, Chen Yushan happened to be packing her luggage.
Chen Yushan stuffed the last piece of clothing into the suitcase and stood up. She gently shook her long hair and looked back at Lu Zhou with a smile.
"You miss me already? I said I would go to your room to see you after I finish packing. "
Lu Zhou hesitated for a while and decided to tell the truth.
"I might not be able to send you on the afternoon flight, the embassy —"
"It's fine, I know." Chen Yushan kissed Lu Zhou's lips. With a gentle smile on her face, she said, "Don't feel embarrassed, I don't want to spend all of my time with you, and I don't want to put too much pressure on you."
"But …"
"You have your career, just like I have mine. We can work hard together. I also want to become a better version of myself, so I can feel a little more at ease … So … "
Chen Yushan's index finger twirled around her hair a few times. She suddenly stuttered and looked away embarrassedly. It seemed like she was still not used to saying those words of love. Her face was almost red as she whispered the words on the tip of her tongue.
"Anyway, Academician Lu belongs to the world, but Lu Zhou belongs to me alone … As long as your heart is with me."
"Honey …"
"Don't call me honey, it's too cheesy! Also, it makes me look old. We're just boyfriend and girlfriend, I haven't agreed to marry you yet. "Chen Yushan looked at Lu Zhou's moved face. She looked happy and a little flustered as she said," Call me Chen Yushan! "
"Chen Yushan!"
"Oh …"
I feel like this title poked my cuteness.
No way!
Why is my boyfriend so cute!
He's so smart and handsome!
Woo …
Being suddenly hugged, Chen Yushan felt as if her brain had been stuffed into a steamer basket. She couldn't even think normally.
Was this the legendary period of passionate love?
I want to be together 24 hours a day.
However, I feel like I'm in a bad situation.
"Um …"
"What's wrong?"
"Before you go back to China … I want to play a game with you."
"What game?"
Lu Zhou hesitated for a while before he said embarrassedly.
"Hide and seek."
"…" Chen Yushan's cheeks instantly turned red. She rested her head on Lu Zhou's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "When did you become so bad?"
"If you don't want to, then forget it."
Chen Yushan subtly looked away. Her face was completely red like an apple as she buried her eyes on the shoulder that gave her a sense of security.
She whispered to herself in a low voice.
"Then …"
"Do I need to hide first?"
…
In the afternoon.
Lu Zhou sent Chen Yushan to the car to the airport.
After waving goodbye, he waited until the Volvo disappeared at the end of the street before he reluctantly turned around and returned to the hotel.
What was the saying?
If two people love each other for a long time, they wouldn't stay together day and night.
For a man and woman in love, although they wanted to be together 24 hours a day, he also knew in his heart that love was only a part of life. Both of them had a lot of work to do, and they couldn't squander the sweat and tears of youth like little girls and little boys.
However, he felt like after the confession that night, there was a touch of blue in the black and white world that he had never seen before.
That was the color of responsibility.
"Are you interested in the Global Climate Action Summit in Copenhagen?" Ambassador Zhang Wenbin, who was dressed in formal attire, looked at Lu Zhou with a smile on his face.
"Global Climate Summit?"
Lu Zhou didn't expect Ambassador Zhang to suddenly throw out such a proposition. He cast a questioning look at him.
"Yes." Ambassador Zhang read the question in Lu Zhou's eyes. He continued with a smile, "The past five years have been the five years of our China's economic boom. With a high GDP growth of more than 10%, not only did we not sacrifice an inch of clean water, but we also used five years to reduce per capita carbon emissions to 50% of what it was five years ago!
"In other words, we have created a miracle in the history of the world's development. With the least amount of pollution, we have fed more than 20% of the world's population!
"And all of this is thanks to the controllable fusion technology that you completed four years ago. Therefore, our foreign affairs department is discussing whether we should let you go to the Global Climate Action Summit to give a report and show off to other countries. We have submitted a satisfactory answer sheet for the overall interests of the community of human destiny over the past few years. "
Lu Zhou nodded thoughtfully.
So he's bragging for the country.
A touch of interest appeared in his eyes.
"Sounds like it's going to be interesting. Is it just a trip there?"
Ambassador Zhang spoke with a smile.
"Pretty much, it will only take you three or four days at most. Oh yeah, there might be some adjustments to the travel method. "
"What are the specifics?"
"The Swedish royal family is going to visit Denmark, take the 'Aurora Borealis' cruise ship to Copenhagen, and participate in the global climate action on behalf of their people. There will be dignitaries and entrepreneurs from Nordic countries on the cruise ship, and they are full of interest in us. We happen to be planning to strengthen our relationship with the Nordic countries, and they are our strategic allies on the Silk Road. Our idea is that since you are also in Stockholm, why don't we take the same flight as them?
"Of course, if you are not used to taking a ship, we can also arrange a private plane for you. The specific travel method depends on what you think."
It was quite interesting to go out on a cruise ship. It was said that on winter nights, the beautiful aurora could be seen on the Baltic Sea.
When Lu Zhou thought about the beautiful scenery he saw on the shore of Lake Mälaren, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded gently.
"Protecting the global climate is the responsibility of all mankind. It is my responsibility as a citizen of China to show the world China's contribution to safeguarding the interests of the community of human destiny.
"Anyway, I'm not very busy these days, so I'll go there in a few days."
