mermaid

Of course, it was impossible for Jiang Rong to leave. It took him three months to catch a bit of the tail of the skeleton, how could he give up when he was about to learn the truth.At this moment, he was sitting in Ran You's office on the second floor, holding a teacup in his hand and taking small sips.He tried his best to avoid meeting the gaze of the one next to him who had been lingering on him.

"Dr. Jiang seems to be afraid of me?"

"no!"

Jiang Rong is not a weak person, and sometimes even stronger because he wants to lead the project team at a young age.But when facing Ran You, Jiang Rong would unconsciously run away, as if the existence of the other party was such a shocking thing.

Ran You shouldn't exist—for a moment, this idea flashed across Jiang Rong's mind, but it was like the wind passing through the palm of his hand, and he couldn't catch it.

"What do Dr. Jiang think of the mermaid fountain downstairs?"

"It's quite special." After a few sips of fragrant tea, Jiang Rong felt much calmer, and the inexplicable emotions dissipated a lot.

"Hehe, you're still so quiet."

This sentence was said in a low voice, Jiang Rong thought he heard it wrong.Jiang Rong raised her head and looked at Ran You, who was sitting carelessly on the boss chair with her back against the window.The other party propped his face with his right hand, tapped the tear mole under his eyelid with his index finger, and twirled a pen casually with his left hand.

Back to the light again... Jiang Rong frowned. This feeling was terrible. She was fully exposed in the light, but the other party hid herself. At this moment, the plump and beautiful upturned lips did not look like that at all. It was a smile, but it made him feel that the other party was planning something.

Ran You paused, put down the pen, took out an envelope from the drawer, moved to the other side of Jiang Rong, and put the things in front of Jiang Rong.

"Dr. Jiang is here for this."

A few photos slipped out. They were the caves and remains that Jiang Rong was very familiar with, but not the one from three months ago.

Jiang Rong couldn't wait to pick it up and examine it carefully, "Is this a new cave? The remains are also another one?"

"Yes."

A few minutes later, Jiang Rong finally looked up from the photo, and the previous doubts were answered.

"You sent me that photo? Why?" Jiang Rong has been looking for the person who sent the photo, which can prove the authenticity of the photo from another aspect.This discovery was too big, and he didn't want to be so busy that it was just a prank in the end.

Ran You didn't answer right away, he slowly picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of fragrant tea, but after taking a sip, he frowned and put it down.Jiang Rong watched his series of actions intently, and came to the conclusion that the other party didn't like tea.I don't like to drink tea, but there is such a good tea in the office... If it's just for hospitality, why is it so obvious in front of me?

Ran You didn't seem to notice Jiang Rong's probing eyes, and slowly picked up a photo, and said in mid-air: "I encountered a storm when I was fishing in the sea half a year ago. Just a routine announcement, but do you know where I am after the storm?"

Ran You got closer, and the already handsome face was enlarged in front of her eyes, with an inexplicable sense of oppression. Jiang Rong resisted the urge to retreat, and reached out to tear off the crumbling photo.In the photo, there is a huge cave entrance that seems to reach the sky, surrounded by tall and dense trees.

"Forest? On land?"

"It is indeed on land, but not along the coast." Ran You picked out another photo from the pile of photos and handed it to Jiang Rong.

"impossible!"

In the photo, the top of the mountain in the distance is white, cold and inviolable against the blue sky.

"Kunlun, anything related to these two characters will not be simple." Ran You lightly pointed at the photo: "This is the ancestor of the mountains and the birthplace of mythology."

Jiang Rong calmed down when the matter came to this point, how absurd, I thought it would be a major discovery, but it turned out to be a fairy tale.Jiang Rong felt extremely angry, "You have a complete set of photos here, from the inside of the cave to the entrance of the cave to the surrounding environment. Is it because I'm afraid I can't find a place?"

Pity myself for working hard for three months, but the result is still the prank I tried my best to avoid at the beginning.

"Dr. Jiang thinks I lied to you?" Ran You got up and walked to the window. From here, it happened to be the iconic flower square in the business district. Many people would meet in this huge square. Every time they stood here There is a sense of excitement and accomplishment in peeping at others.

"The doctor must have tested the previous photos. The photos are not fake. I was swept from the ocean to the inland by a storm, and I saw huge remains in that cave. I did a detailed data collection and sent the photos anonymously. To the scholar I admire, I just hope that this young scholar I admire will not simply think that this is a prank without doing any investigation like other colleagues, and then tell others about my discovery as a joke after dinner.”

This is the longest sentence that Ran You has said since the two met. When he said this sentence, he faced Jiang Rong out of the window and couldn't see his expression, but Jiang Rong calmed down a little because of the sincerity in it.Also, what is there to worry about?For what purpose did Ran You go to such lengths to play tricks just to deceive herself?

"So should I thank Mr. Ran for his appreciation?" Jiang Rong asked back, and the atmosphere suddenly eased.

"No." Ran You turned around and smiled, "I've always been very tolerant of young people with real talents. Being young means daring to think and go, and real talents mean being more professional and credible. As the youngest person in China Dr. Jiang may be able to clear up my doubts."

"I study biology, not supernatural science."

"No, no, Dr. Jiang, you got my point wrong. I don't care how I got from the ocean to the mainland, I believe it's all for me to see the remains. Thousands of miles away, I want to know what the remains are What is it. Perhaps only you can give me the answer."

Facing Ran You's trusting and firm eyes, Jiang Rong felt that he had a heavy responsibility.Can he really solve Ran You's doubts? He looked down at the photos spread out on the table: a dark grotto, a huge bone lying on the ground.Consciousness seems to be taken thousands of miles away, there is something vague waiting for me...
