    St. Shakespeare's Church, London, England.

    Gray-black bricks and half-curved Roman columns display the two sides of the guest seats, and the twenty-four pierced colored glass mirrors each other. It is the most famous sacred Gothic architecture in the Norman era.

    Fu Xiao and her husband chose to hold their wedding in this church very early, but they have never been scheduled.

    St. Shakespeare’s Church is only open for one wedding a day, and they originally scheduled it for June. But at the end of last month, the church suddenly informed them that a couple who was scheduled to have a wedding on March 7 broke up suddenly because the bridegroom was caught in bed. March 7th happened to be the anniversary of love between Fu Xiao and his wife. As if destined, the two immediately changed their wedding dates without hesitation.

    Most of the people sitting at the seats on both sides of the church were relatives and friends of the groom. In addition, there are Fu Xiao's colleagues and friends.

    Fucheng took her sister by the hand and stood outside the church door. The black iron door was closed tightly in front of him, and a red carpet covered with flowers spread under his feet and mysteriously extended to the church behind the door.

    When the ceremonial staff told them it was time to enter, the beautiful bride nervously grabbed her brother's hand.

    Fucheng smiled slightly and held her hand backhand.

    "I am here."

    Suddenly having the courage to be fearless, Fu Xiao held his younger brother's hand, looked at the church door that opened slowly, and stepped forward.

    After the wedding, Fucheng did not return home immediately. He stayed in London for another two days and waited until the tenth to get on the return flight.

    At 8:30 in the morning, went downstairs to the UAAG headquarters and bought a cup of black coffee from the coffee cart. Fucheng turned around and had a face-to-face meeting with Su Fei and the old Joseph.

    Su Fei: "Brother Fu, are you back?!"

    Old Joseph: "Long time no see, Fu, you are finally back."

    The two wore long-sleeved sportswear and tight sweatpants, and Su Fei also tied a black sports forehead to his forehead. Both of them were sweating profusely, and Fucheng raised an eyebrow: "Are you going for a run?"

    Upon hearing this, Su Fei cried and started to vomit bitterness: "I'm crazy, Fucheng, I'm really crazy. I don't want to live with this person again! You don't know, old Joseph was born four days ago. Knocked on my door at seven in the morning and said that he would run with me to UAAG!"

    Old Joseph said innocently: "Dear Su Fei, it's spring now, and it's beautiful March. With such good weather, our apartment is so close to the UAAG headquarters. It took more than half an hour of jog to arrive. Why don't we cherish it? Under the beautiful spring, enjoy your life and exercise at the same time. Have you discovered that in just four days, you have run more and more relaxed."

    The corner of Su Fei's mouth twitched, and he deliberately approached Fucheng, lowering his voice: "Can you see that the old Joseph has no leg? He runs faster than me!"

    However, Su Fei did not deliberately prevent Old Joseph from hearing this. Old Joseph did not get angry after hearing this. Instead, he laughed and said, "I only have one leg to run faster than you. Should you reflect on your age? Gently, why can't running compare to an old man like me!"

    Su Fei: "You are not even sixty, what an old man!"

    Old Joseph ignored him and looked at Fucheng: "Fu, if you want to run with us in the future, we can go to your house and call you. This is a sport for young people, go!"

    Fucheng thought for a while: "Okay, I used to run and train in the army."

    Old Joseph turned his head and said to Su Fei: "You see, this is a strong, healthy young man. Don't eat junk food all day, eat healthy."

    Su Fei: "You don't seem to be eating pizza every day."

    At this time, a taxi stopped not far from the three. After the car door was opened, the Qingjun man in short sleeves and casual coat got out of the car. While frowning impatiently and messing with his untreated hair, he walked into the office building. However, even if the hairstyle is so messy, the dress is extremely casual, and his outstanding looks still make him get everyone's attention when he gets out of the car.

    Halfway through, before entering the door, as if suddenly remembering something, Uncle Zhuo turned and walked towards the coffee cart.

    Passing by the three people in Fucheng intently, after buying a burger and a cup of coffee, Zhuo Huan turned his head and noticed them. His gaze stopped at the moment he saw Fucheng. After a few seconds, Zhuo Huan took his gaze back, swept his three subordinates lightly, and chuckled at Fucheng, "I'm back?"

    Fucheng raised his eyebrows.

    The tone doesn't seem right?

    Su Fei laughed ironically and pointed to the burger in Zhuo Huan's hand: "Hey, did you see it? This is junk food!"

    Uncle Zhuo unceremoniously threw the white sugar and creamer to Su Fei.

    Su Fei: "What are you doing?"

    Zhuo Huan: "Help me open it."

    Su Fei: "..."

    "You have no hands!"

    "Well, with burgers and coffee, no hands."

    Old Joseph laughed and was about to help pour the white sugar and creamer. A slender white hand took him a step faster and took the hamburger in his hand from Zhuo Huan.

    Zhuo Huan: "?"

    Fucheng: "Now I have a hand."

    Zhuo Huan: "..."

    Hold.

    Fucheng took the hamburger, and Su Fei and the old Joseph helped to tear open the bag of sugar and creamer. Zhuo Huan poured three bags of white sugar and two bags of creamer into the coffee without expression. After mixing them evenly, he took a sip.

    Four people go up the elevator together.

    UAAG's headquarters is located in a prime location with extremely expensive rents, but this does not mean that there are fewer people working in this building. On the contrary, they are all big companies and many employees. There are a total of eight elevators, and four people waited for a round before getting on the elevator. But as soon as entered, a bunch of white-collar workers squeezed up again.

    The four people from UAAG were the first to get on the elevator, so they were squeezed in the innermost position.

    Old Joseph and Su Fei are discussing what time to run tomorrow morning. Su Fei is bargaining and wants to sleep ten more minutes.

    Fucheng's back was against the cold elevator wall, and he calmly glanced at the elevator floor numbers, silently calculating how long it would take to get out. Suddenly, his right waist was lightly touched, and his natural ticklish physique made him tremble in his body and mind, but fortunately, he just took it back with a simple touch.

    Fucheng calmed down and looked at the man leaning in the corner of the elevator.

    Zhuo Huan took a bite of the burger and another cup of coffee. Perceiving Fucheng's gaze, he raised the corners of his mouth and his eyes moved.

    In the crowded elevator, Su Fei and Old Joseph were in front of them, and their bodies almost blocked all prying eyes from the outside world. The man's hand stretched out slowly to the back, and the young man's back was almost close to the metal wall, but the beautiful back waist left a fascinating arc, leaving a gap with the wall.

    Fucheng felt the man's hand against his waist and the elevator wall, went around to the left, and then embraced him quietly.

    The fingers holding the paper coffee cup tightened slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at Zhuo Huan.

    His eyes met, Zhuo Huan turned his head sideways, and his hair fell aside.

    Fucheng was silent for a moment, and withdrew his gaze, without pushing away the man's hand.

    After half a minute, with a ding sound, the elevator door reached the 37th floor.

    The other people in the elevator had already gone. Su Fei and the old Joseph were still arguing about the small question of what time to get up tomorrow, and the two went out loudly. After the elevator door opened, Zhuo Huan let go. Fucheng turned his head and looked at him for a long time.

    "Teacher Zhuo, I don't like this."

    "But you like me."

    His breath was choked in his throat for an instant, Fucheng looked at Zhuo Huan and couldn't say a word.

    Zhuo Huan laughed, stepped past him and got out of the elevator first.

    "Zhuo Huan."

    Zhuo Huan stopped and turned to look at him.

    The morning sun of spring shines through the wide floor-to-ceiling glass at the end of the corridor, shining on the soft hair of the young man, reflecting the mottled gold. Fucheng looked at him indifferently and said, "Illusion."

    you like me.

    illusion.

    When the voice fell, Fucheng stepped forward, bypassed the man, and entered the luxurious door of UAAG.

    After entering the office, Lina was watering the flowers.

    Seeing Fucheng coming in, she was about to speak, looked at his expression, and stopped her voice. A few seconds later, seeing Zhuo Huan walk in again, Lina thought for a moment and called someone who was walking behind.

    She whispered, "Reid, what did you do."

    Zhuo Huan: "Nothing."

    Lina decided in her heart: must have done something.

    "Fu just came back with this expression, I don't believe you didn't do anything."

    Hearing that, Zhuo Huan smiled: "I just did what I like to do."

    Abandoning these words, Uncle Zhuo threw the finished hamburger paper bag into the trash can. When passed the table in Fucheng, put two sips of coffee on the table.

    Fucheng raised his head: "?"

    Zhuo Huan: "I'll give you a drink."

    Fucheng: "..." He said politely: "First of all I bought my own coffee, and secondly, I don't like to drink sugared ones. Finally, why should I drink something someone else has drunk."

    Am I someone else?

    This sentence was not spoken.

    Zhuo Huan turned back and said to Lina: "Help me down and buy a new cup of coffee?"

    Lina smiled and said, "If you want to give away coffee, you can buy it yourself, Reid."

    Zhuo Huan: "Oh."

    Of course, instead of going downstairs to buy coffee, Zhuo Huan took the coffee away, took a few sips, and threw it into the trash can when it was cold.

    Su Fei curiously leaned to Fucheng's side: "Why does RIP send you coffee?"

    Old Joseph was also very strange, and he pulled a chair and sat down.

    Fucheng was silent, and slowly curled his lips: "It's nothing. When I was in the elevator just now, Teacher Zhuo accidentally stepped on my foot. Maybe I wanted to apologize with coffee?"

    Su Fei: "Oh, I stepped on your foot, and I want to solve it with a cup of coffee?" He quickly got up and said to Zhuo Huan, who was lying on the sofa and looking at his mobile phone, "RIP, let me tell you that a cup of coffee is not good. Treat yourself to dinner." , We are going to have a big meal!"

    Zhuo Huan: "Heh, "Sweet Honey" is also for you."

    Su Fei: "..."

    2021 has already begun for three months, the world is peaceful, and no major events have happened.

    There are rarely such peaceful days in the aviation industry. There are no large aircraft crashes, even small aircraft and business jets, but there are only a few minor incidents that have not caused any deaths.

    By the end of the day, on March 23rd, Lina received an email from EASA.

    Lina: "The results of the previous trial of the plane crash in Geral have come out, Marks & Spencer 123."

    On October 2, 2020, the Masa Airlines 123 cargo plane crashed in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. The plane hit a mountain and two pilots were killed. After the incident, because the deputy captain was a friend of Lina, UAAG rushed to Schaffhausen as soon as possible to participate in the investigation of the accident.

    The final investigation result is very clear. The main reason is that unqualified screws were used during the maintenance of the aircraft, which caused the tail to suddenly fall off during the flight. Other reasons include the crushing and abuse of the two young pilots by the airline, which made it impossible for the two to have a chance to save the plane when they were in distress.

    The results of the investigation are indisputable, but airlines, leather bag companies, and even third-party maintenance companies are still arguing about who should bear the main responsibility and who should pay the compensation.

    They finally went to court, and half a year later, they finally got the final result.

    Lina looked at the words in the email: "Masha Airlines is mainly responsible for compensation of 2.43 million Euros and 2.13 million Euros to the families of the two victims. Then, Masha Airlines sued the leather bag company and the third-party maintenance company to court. I heard that Marks and Spencer is already going through the bankruptcy certificate."

    Even if it was such a simple and clear air crash, it took half a year to truly deal with it and get a final outcome.

    But this is for airlines and for the public.

    For the relatives of the victims, what they have to bear is a lifetime of pain and torment.

    EASA has to act as a witness to participate in the case of Masha Airlines appealing to the leather bag company and the maintenance company. Gao Yun sent an email, because this is another new case, and he needs UAAG to provide them with some written proof.

    Lina told Zhuo Huan about this.

    Zhuo Huan: "Whatever you want, you can handle it."

    Lina smiled and said, "Well, it has been processed and sent to Gao Yun. By the way, Reid, will you go to your house for dinner tonight."

    Zhuo Huan took a halt and raised his head: "Oh?"

    Lina: "All of us, go to your house for dinner, tonight."

    When the voice fell, the three of Fucheng raised their heads and looked at Lina.

    Zhuo Huan: "Why?"

    Lina was surprised: "Your birthday."

    Zhuo Huan: "..."

    He forgot.

    Lips lifted, Zhuo Huan just wanted to say no, Lina: "I have prepared the BBQ grill and barbecue."

    With a brushing sound, Su Fei stood up excitedly: "Eating barbecue tonight?"

    Lina looked back at him, smiled and said, "Well, everything is ready."

    Su Fei: "Okay, I'm going to barbecue, my barbecue skills are good!"

    Zhuo Huan's lips moved, but he glanced at the excited Su Fei, the old Joseph who was eagerly discussing it, and Lina who looked at him with a smile. Finally, his eyes stopped on Fucheng.

    The black-haired young man seemed very happy too, smiling and talking to Su Fei and Old Joseph.

    For a long time, Zhuo Huan leaned back in the chair and said to Lina: "000618."

    Lina: "What?"

    Zhuo Huan put his hands in his pockets: "Don't let people set up the grill in advance and put the barbecue in the refrigerator. 000618, my home code."

    Old Joseph smiled: "618, what does this number mean, Reid, is it your ex-girlfriend's birthday?"

    Zhuo Huan sneered disdainfully, and was about to explain, Su Fei stepped forward: "Old Joseph, I look down on you very much. 0.618, the golden ratio, understand."

    Fucheng: "Teacher Zhuo just made the password public, then not all of us can go."

    Zhuo Huan: "Then you come."

    The voice stopped, Fucheng's eyes lightly swept towards Zhuo Huan, Zhuo Huan also tilted his head and looked at him with a faint smile.

    In the almost empty office, Su Fei and Old Joseph’s voices were noisy and chaotic, and Lina went to call the worker to install the grill. Looking over the others, the two eyes tightly wrapped around each other.

    Su Fei: "By the way, Fucheng, do you like pork belly? Old Joseph actually said he didn't eat it."

    Fucheng turned his head: "I eat it all."

    Zhuo Huan took a deep look at him, then raised his head and said to Lina: "It's the set on the riverside, not the previous villa."

    Lina asked in surprise, "Didn't you still live in that villa last month."

    "sold."

    Lina contacted the workers and sent the grill and ingredients to Zhuo Huan's house.

    At four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone left work early. Uncle Zhuo generously approved the matter, but Fucheng, Su Fei and Old Joseph did not go to Zhuo Huan's house for the first time. The three said they wanted to go home to pick up the clothes, and left first, and then they would take a taxi by themselves.

    Looking at the back of the three of them leaving together, Lina: "Do you think they are going home to pick up their clothes, Reid."

    Zhuo Huan raised an eyebrow: "You rented an apartment for them, is it allowed to dry clothes outside the window?"

    Lina smiled: "Guess why they are going."

    "Shit, buy a gift. Go away."

    Lina had known that today was Uncle Zhuo’s birthday, but of course Su Fei didn’t know it.

    Old Joseph: "Why didn't Lina tell us earlier, she used to be very caring, she is Lina, should tell us early in the morning, let us buy gifts in advance."

    Fucheng thought for a while: "Perhaps she didn't expect that Teacher Zhuo would actually allow us to have dinner at his house?"

    Old Joseph: "Is that the reason? You think too much, Vol."

    Fucheng was noncommittal.

    On the other side, Zhuo Huan and Lina got in the car. Lina: "Reid, I didn't expect you to agree to this dinner. Fortunately, I prepared a gift in advance and ordered a cake. I thought, even if you didn't agree, you could send it directly." She blinked: " How would you agree?"

    Zhuo Huan: "Isn't someone said to give me a barbecue, open your mouth to eat, and it's up to you."

    Lina smiled meaningfully: "How come I don't think this is the reason."

    Zhuo Huan closed his eyes and rested, and did not answer this question.

    The gift to Uncle Zhuo, of course, can't be casual.

    Su Fei solemnly said: "I used to give my classmates birthday presents, I usually give out-of-print books. Or I can help him solve his recent problems. Usually after doing this, my classmates would cry and thank me, and then never interact with me again. . Harm, genius is so lonely."

    Old Joseph laughed and said: "I usually give golf clubs or something. But it seems that this kind of thing is not suitable for Reid. Fu, what about you, what do you think we should give away? Oh, I thought about it, so it’s not as good as us. The three people buy the same gift together. Then you can buy a watch for Reid."

    Fu Cheng was stunned.

    "...Well, let's buy it together with three people."

    After buying a watch, the three of them took a taxi to Uncle Zhuo's house, and immediately held up their heads and gained confidence.

    However, when he really arrived at the destination, Su Fei stood downstairs, looking at the magnificent top-level community, the anger immediately vanished. "Fortunately, we bought this Patek Philippe. We didn't buy the Jaeger-LeCoultre at a bargain. This is almost to be looked down upon by RIP!"

    Old Joseph also said with emotion: "If you have money, you really have money."

    Fucheng stood downstairs and looked up for a long time.

    Old Joseph: "When we celebrate our birthday, we must also let Reid buy us gifts! When is your birthday?"

    Su Fei: "Damn, December! We were working on the American Airlines case in Boston on my birthday last year, I forgot all about it!"

    "How about you, Vol?"

    "There is still half a year."

    Old Joseph gave an OK gesture: "Don't worry, I will help you all kinds of hints about Reid, and won't let him forget your gifts. Then...hehe, it's my birthday next month, you know. "

    Fucheng: "..."

    Su Fei: "..."

    After the three of them went upstairs, they were all startled when the elevator opened.

    It is a high-class residence with elevator access. The entire floor, more than 300 square meters, has a total of two floors, stepping the winding Huangpu River under its feet. The side next to the river is the empty living room, and the seven-meter-high floor-to-ceiling glass windows will give you an unobstructed view of the splendid night view of Shencheng.

    It was Lina who opened the door for them, and she smiled and said, "I'm making the sauce. Su Fei and old Joseph, you go to wash the vegetables and chop the vegetables. Fu, you and Reid will skewer grilled meat and vegetables together."

    "Okay!"

    Lina only asked the workers to assemble the grill and put the vegetables and meat in the refrigerator to prevent spoilage. She didn't let people cook all the ingredients directly.

    "If you don't do it yourself at all, just eat a barbecue, don't you think that this is too meaningless."

    Zhuo Huan: "Barbecue, also do it yourself."

    Lina smiled and reminded: "Reid, that was Su Fei's hands-on barbecue, not you. You are only participating now, aren't you."

    The answer to her was Uncle Zhuo's contemptuous sneer, then lowered his head and continued to skewer beef without expression.

    The three Fucheng followed Lina and walked into the kitchen.

    As soon as he entered the room, saw Zhuo Huan, and glanced at the gift bag he was carrying, Su Fei was immediately confident: "RIP, I wish you a happy birthday, we have already prepared gifts for you."

    Zhuo Huan: "Didn't you just buy it? What did you buy, the crystal ball."

    Su Fei: "You...!"

    Su Fei handed the bag in his hand to Fucheng: "I don't have a common language with him! Fu brother, you go and give him the things. Return the crystal ball? Let him see what we gave, and hit him in the face!"

    Fucheng took the bag, stepped forward, and put the bag with the Patek Philippe logo on the table.

    Zhuo Huan was taken aback for a moment, and raised his eyebrows: "Patek Philippe?"

    Lina was also a little surprised: "Such a big deal?"

    A Patek Philippe watch costs nearly 100,000.

    Fucheng smiled and said, "A gift for three people. Teacher Zhuo, I wish you a happy birthday."

    Zhuo Huan looked at the gift steadily. After a while, he raised his eyes, and the clear eyes were filled with bright lights: "The three of them are together... Didn't you give it alone."

    Fucheng looked at him and said seriously: "It's too expensive to be given away by one person."

    Zhuo Huan looked at him quietly, for a long time, he sneered displeasedly, lowered his head and took a piece of beef, and continued to string it together.

    The author has something to say:

    Zhuo Anxi: Not happy.

    Straight man Fu Chengcheng: How did Schrödinger write these three words?
