Chapter 153 White MIT
The investigation on the auction website ended without a problem. According to the only clue "ebay" provided by Zhang Lexing, the Russell investigation company found nothing. Luo Di, who was in charge of the investigation, wanted Zhang Lexing to provide more clues. Unfortunately, the only thing Zhang Lexing still remembered about this auction website was The very familiar name "ebay", in this case, Roddy has no choice but to continue to pay attention, hoping for a miracle.

In the following time, Zhang Lexing had to focus on the "Baiji" operating system and ICQ, sometimes helping with "testing", and occasionally giving some pointers based on his "experience".Of course, I would often call Chen Zishan a few times, but for some reason, she never had a leisurely time, which made Zhang Lexing extremely depressed.

While Zhang Lexing was waiting, on November 11, the Sega Saturn game console that had been rumored for a long time began to go on sale in RB. On December 22rd, Sony PS, which has been brewing for a long time, officially began to go on sale. Due to the frequent advertising bombardment, hundreds of people lined up to buy in Akihabara and other places. Just sold out.

Time gradually came to mid-December, one day when Zhang Lexing was about to get off work, he dialed the phone number left by Chen Zishan according to his usual habit, and after three rings, the phone was connected.

"Zishan, I..."

Just as Zhang Lexing opened his mouth, a strange female voice suddenly came from the microphone, speaking in English: "Idon't know what you are talking about. Doyouspeak English?" (I don't know what you are talking about. Can you speak English?)

Zhang Lexing had no choice but to ask in English: "Please find Susan (Susan, Chen Zishan's English name), I am his friend."

The female voice on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, then quickly said, "Please wait a moment."

There was a "click" sound from the receiver, as if the phone handle over there was put on something, and then Zhang Lexing vaguely heard someone shouting: "...Susan...Susan...your friend on the phone..."

Not long after, the sound of the phone handle being picked up came from the receiver, and then Chen Zishan's soft voice came over: "Which one is looking for me?"

"Hi, Zishan, it's me. How have you been recently?"

"Well, it's okay, it's just very busy, how about you, Lexing?"

"I'm not fine." Zhang Lexing's tone was very low.

Chen Zishan's heart tightened: "Le Xing, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm sick, and very sick..."

"Ah!" Chen Zishan exclaimed, "Le Xing, what's wrong with you?"

"Lovesickness, I haven't seen you for a long time, Zishan, I think I'm dying."

Chen Zishan spat and said, "You're so annoying, you're talking nonsense again. Well, I'll have a holiday on the 23rd, and I'll come and rescue you then."

"Yeah!" Zhang Lexing cheered, and then continued: "Zishan, then I will pick you up when the time comes. Well, when is the best time to come?"

"Well, on the morning of the 23rd, there are still some matters to be dealt with in the dormitory. If you come over, please call my dormitory. The number has been told to you before."

"Well, I'll come over earlier on the morning of the 23rd, see you then."

"See you then!" The phone hung up, leaving only a beeping busy tone.

Zhang Lexing put down the phone, looked at the calendar, and thought about it: "Well, there are still about eight days left, and we have to go one day earlier, it seems that we have to start making preparations now."

Taking out a business card from the drawer, Zhang Lexing dialed the number on it: "Mr. Hamilton, what I said last time..."

……

After everything was arranged properly, Zhang Lexing did not forget to say goodbye to Yang Xinxin, but unexpectedly, she made fun of her and asked Zhang Lexing to remember to take a photo and take it back for viewing, which made Zhang Lexing blush.

After bidding farewell to Yang Xinxin, Zhang Lexing and the accompanying bodyguards did not go directly to Boston, but first came to Burbank near Los Angeles.Walking into DreamWorks' office building in the urban area, Zhang Lexing went straight to Eddie Bergner's general manager's office.

Gently pushed open the door of the general manager's office, before Zhang Lexing could speak, Eddie Bergner raised his head.Seeing Zhang Lexing who came in through the door, he said happily, "Oh, Mr. Zhang, I'm so glad to meet you."

"Eddie, are you done with what I told you a while ago?" Zhang Lexing said straight to the point without caring about the politeness.

"It's all done, Mr. Zhang, everything you want is here." Eddie Bergner took out a paper bag from the drawer and handed it over.

Zhang Lexing took it over and took a look at the contents inside, and sure enough, everything was inside as Eddie Bergner said.Zhang Lexing showed a smile on his face, and happily said to Eddie Bergner: "Eddie, thank you this time."

"You're welcome, Mr. Zhang, I wish you a Merry Christmas!" Eddie Bergner showed a sly smile and blinked his eyes, as if he had guessed something.

But now Zhang Lexing's mind had already drifted to Boston, which is thousands of kilometers away, and he didn't notice Eddie Bergner's strangeness at all. He casually said hello, turned around and left with a paper bag.

After a short rest, Zhang Lexing and his accompanying bodyguards boarded the flight from Los Angeles to Boston.At 35:[-], the plane left Los Angeles International Airport and plunged into thick clouds.According to the flight schedule, there were still about ten hours to arrive in Boston, so Zhang Lexing put the seat down, lay down on it, covered it with another blanket, and fell asleep.

He didn't know how much time had passed in the haze, Zhang Lexing heard the announcement on the plane that the plane was about to land, and hurriedly got up to pack his seat.After clearing the seat and fastening the seat belt, Zhang Lexing looked at the porthole next to him. It was already night outside the window, and the clouds reflected a bright silvery white under the cold moonlight.The plane gradually tilted and got into the clouds, leaving only a piece of insoluble thickness outside the porthole.The plane trembled slightly, and broke free from the shackles of the clouds. Through the porthole, I could already see the large area of ​​bright lights on the ground. Boston arrived...

After leaving the terminal, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. Two pre-booked Lincoln cars had already parked outside. After completing simple handover procedures, Zhang Lexing and his party got into the car and headed straight to the Four Seasons Hotel in the center of Boston. Along the way, you can see numerous Christmas trees, twinkling lights, and big discount signs in stores, as well as Santa Clauses of all shapes and sizes running through the streets. The whole Boston is filled with the atmosphere of Christmas.

Arriving at the Four Seasons Hotel and staying in the reserved room, Zhang Lexing sat on the chair next to the phone and wanted to call Chen Zishan, but he looked at his watch and saw that it was already 10:30, so he hesitated or gave up.After a brief wash, Zhang Lexing changed into pajamas and went to the window to look out.Opposite the Four Seasons Hotel is a park. At this time, it can be seen that there is only a dark patch left, and nothing can be distinguished at all.Looking in the direction of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, there is only a bright or dark light, and it is impossible to tell what it is...

On the morning of December 12, after breakfast, Zhang Lexing and his bodyguards drove two Lincolns, left the Four Seasons Hotel, and headed for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.The car passed through Charles Street, Beacon Street, then turned into Mather Chusitz Street, and then crossed Harvard Bridge to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

As soon as the car door was pushed open, a gust of cold air hit my face, but it seemed to be much warmer than last night.The weather was gloomy, so Zhang Lexing stood on the side of the road and looked around, then went to a nearby public phone booth, and called Chen Zishan's phone number.The bell rang for a long time, but no one answered it. Zhang Lexing put the phone back in its original place, and leaned against the pavilion in a daze.

A man in a brown coat ran over from the other side of the street. Just as he approached the phone booth, a strong man in a black coat and sunglasses with an expressionless face stood in front of him.He glanced at the phone booth that was already occupied, and continued to run forward helplessly.

"Damn it, there are people in every phone booth on this street." The man in the brown coat cursed angrily, then looked up at the gloomy sky, suddenly his face turned cold, and he reached out to touch it. , appears to be some water damage.

"It looks like it's going to snow, alas, I have to find the phone quickly, or I won't be in a hurry!" The man in the brown coat looked more and more anxious, and continued to run forward.

After standing there blankly for a while, Zhang Lexing picked up the phone again and dialed the previous number. It would be lucky, someone answered after only three rings, and it was Chen Zishan's voice that came from the phone.

"Hello, I'm Susan, who is this?"

"Zishan, it's me."

"Lexing, are you here already?"

"Yeah, I've already arrived at the MIT campus, where should I find you?"

"Lexing, you haven't been to MIT before, have you?"

"It's indeed the first time here."

"Well, then I can't tell right away, how about, where are you now? I'll come and find you."

"I..." Zhang Lexing looked outside the phone booth and said, "I don't know too well, but there is a white building opposite, with 'WILLIAMBARTONROCERSFOVNDER' written on the lintel, and a big dome on it. Oh, yes Yes, I'm coming from Harvard Bridge."

"Oh, I know where you are. Lexing, wait for me there, I'll be right over."

After finishing talking, the phone was hung up, Zhang Lexing put the phone back to its original place, and walked out of the phone booth, only then did he notice that there were dots of snowflakes slowly falling...

The temperature seemed to be much lower than before, but Zhang Lexing didn't dare to stay in the car, fearing that there would be no one there when Chen Zishan came, so he paced back and forth on the street opposite the white building, occasionally stroking his palms Hot Air rubbed his hands, while several bodyguards dutifully stood around, looking around vigilantly.

After waiting for about three or ten minutes, Zhang Lexing finally saw Chen Zishan. Although he hadn't seen her for more than three months, Zhang Lexing recognized her immediately.Coughing lightly, the bodyguards moved away knowingly, and Zhang Lexing greeted Chen Zishan in the direction he came from.

Chen Zishan was wearing a double-breasted black coat just below the knees. The coat was casually opened to reveal a white dress underneath. She wore a pair of small black leather boots and carried a small red backpack on her back. Walking lightly among the snowflakes.

The two gradually came to the front, Zhang Lexing gently held Chen Zishan's somewhat cold hands, and stared at her blankly.Chen Zishan felt the warmth from her hand, and stared blankly at the man in front of her who made her worry.The two just looked at each other quietly without saying a word, but there seemed to be a thousand words in their eyes.

Unknowingly, Zhang Lexing embraced Chen Zishan in his arms, both of them hugged each other tightly, their lips searched and searched for each other, and then they pressed together tightly, expressing the sadness of separation , exchanging the joy of reunion, unwilling to separate for a long time.

I don't know how long it took before the lips of the two parted.Zhang Lexing helped Chen Zishan lightly brush off the snowflakes on her head, then looked at her and said affectionately: "Zishan, I miss you so much. During the time we are apart, I miss you all the time."

Chen Zishan also looked back affectionately, and said: "Me too, during these 110 days, thirteen hours and five minutes, I was thinking of you every minute and every second."

Zhang Lexing kissed Chen Zishan's lips lightly, and then asked, "Zishan, do you have any plans for the Christmas holiday? Do you want to go back to China?"

"Well, there are no arrangements yet." Chen Zishan shook her head: "It's too troublesome to go back to China, and I usually don't go back at this time."

"In that case, let's go together..."

Before Zhang Lexing's proposal was finished, Chen Zishan said, "Okay, you played with me for so long last time in Los Angeles, and now it's my turn. Lexing, you used to spend winters in the south, I must have never enjoyed the fun of white Christmas, why don't I come as a tour guide and take you around Boston."

Zhang Lexing would definitely not refuse an invitation from a beauty, so he immediately nodded and agreed.Chen Zishan frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Well, let me show you around MIT first."

"Zishan, it's already snowing, why don't you go to the car to warm up first, and then go to visit later."

"It's okay, it's not very cold yet, let's take a look before the snow is heavy." After speaking, Chen Zishan took Zhang Lexing's hand and walked forward. Zhang Lexing had no choice but to follow along.

……

"The opposite is the MIT library, which contains everything from engineering, management, architectural design, science, etc. If you are interested, I can take you to visit it...

In fact, MIT should be called Massachusetts Institute of Technology seriously, but I used to call it before, so I have always maintained the wrong translation of MIT...

MIT was founded in 1861, so it has a history of 133 years.The earliest campus was in Boston, and it was only moved to the Cambridge area here in 1916...

The famous dome house at MIT over there used to be a large lawn in front of it, but it is now covered by snow. Usually there are quite a lot of people here, but now that it is a holiday, most people have gone back and stayed. They're all workaholics...

Lexing, in fact, studying here at MIT is very hard. To graduate, you must take 360 ​​credits, which is two or three times more than ordinary universities. In addition, you must take eight humanities courses, swim 100 meters freestyle, A [-]-word bachelor's thesis is all it takes, and one of our favorite things to say as a student is 'I hate this damn place'...

The MIT campus is actually not that difficult to walk, each building has a number, and there are only a few roads, you will know after a few walks...

The rectangular glass building over there is called the Wiesner Pavilion. It is the work of the famous Chinese architect and designer IM Pei. It has been nine years...

The leaf-like building over there is the Kresge Auditorium, which is said to have been designed by a Finnish designer. It looks a bit weird on the outside, and there are only three corners inside...

The room with two stairs is the student activity center, which is actually a cafeteria. You can see that there are many chalk graffiti on the wall, but there are also graffiti on the ground, but it just happened that it was snowing and I couldn’t see it...

This area is a student dormitory. I live on the third floor of the red Baker building. I live in the second room on the right hand side of the stairs. You will know the location next time you come again.I live alone, the room is quite big…”

Like a dedicated tour guide, Chen Zishan took Zhang Lexing around the campus and introduced many interesting buildings. Of course, Zhang Lexing was most concerned about the location of the Baker Building.The journey along the way was exactly as Chen Zishan said before, almost no one was seen, just like the winter vacation of domestic universities.

After walking around like a horse watching flowers, it was past twelve o'clock, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier. Zhang Lexing dragged Chen Zishan to the parking lot, opened the car door and got in.After tapping the partition lightly, the car quickly started and headed towards the Four Seasons Hotel.At this time, the snow outside the window seems to be bigger than before...

After lunch, the snow gradually stopped.Led by Chen Zishan, the two walked casually on the streets of Boston. The thick snow was so soft that they creaked when they stepped on it.In the middle of the road, a snowplow was working with a roar. People in twos and threes on both sides of the road were clearing the snow in front of the house. In the park not far away, several children were chasing and playing with each other.

"There is a Calareal shopping center in front of it. I often go there. Do you want to go and have a look?" After walking for a while, Chen Zishan pointed to the front and said.

"Okay, let's go and have a look." Zhang Lexing responded.

"Jingle Bells! Jingle Bells! Jingle Bells, how happy we are skiing, and we are sitting on a sleigh..." As soon as the door of the Carrael Shopping Center was pushed open, this familiar Christmas song wafted out from inside.

After walking in, Chen Zishan sighed, "There are so many people this year!"

"Zishan, there weren't so many people in previous years?"

"Yeah, I don't know if it's because the discounts are lower this year, so there are so many people here. It feels like almost everyone who lives nearby has come."

Zhang Lexing looked around. There were really a lot of people, and everyone had a lot of things in their hands. The most exaggerated thing was that someone was carrying an oversized travel bag, which was stuffed with clothes, and even the zipper of the bag was opened. Yes, judging by that posture, I guess I have all the clothes I wear for a year.

Just walking around and wandering around casually, I spent my first day in Boston like this...
