Chapter 1267: Visit to Copenhagen

The restaurant was decorated with a medieval atmosphere.

BBC News was playing on the TV.

On the broadcast, radical environmentalists walked with banners on the streets, climbed up the statue of Churchill, blocked traffic, and chanted the slogan “We care about the world”. This took place on the beautiful streets of London.

A white man in a suit sitting at the dining table said with a sigh, “I ate too much.”

“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 fundamentally.” The white man in a suit sighed and said, “It would be great if there were controllable fusion stations in London.”

“I think those illiterate idiots will make the situation even more dangerous.”

“… You’re right.”

Lu Zhou heard the conversation from a distance. He looked up in the direction of the TV, but the TV channel had been switched, showing a report on the food crisis in Central Africa.

When Lu Zhou was not paying attention, Chen Yushan quietly moved the sandwich from her plate to his plate. However, even though her movements were careful, Lu Zhou still caught her.

Chen Yushan blushed as she said, “You should eat more.”

“Oh… Aren’t you hungry?”

“I’m on a diet.”

“Why, you’re skinny enough… I think you look great.”

Chen Yushan was about to say something, but there were too many people nearby. She finally rolled her eyes at Lu Zhou, then buried her head and started to work on her salad.

Xiao Tong, who was sitting next to them, gave them a suspicious look. She then poked Lu Zhou in the arm with her index finger.

“Brother.”

“What?”

“Did you…”

Xiao Tong’s left index and thumb formed an O shape, with her right index finger formed a one. However, before she could combine her hands, Lu Zhou flicked her forehead.

“Ouch!” Xiao Tong looked at Lu Zhou unhappily and said, “Why are you hitting me?”

“Stop thinking about strange things, kid!”

“I’m not a kid anymore!”

“Enough about me.” Lu Zhou wiped his mouth with a tissue. He casually changed the subject and asked, “How’s studying at Princeton? Are you being bullied?”

Xiao Tong stuck her tongue out and said, “My brother is so powerful, no one dares to bully me, they all stay away from me.”

Chen Yushan looked at the siblings and couldn’t help but smile. She suddenly thought of tomorrow’s itinerary, so she spoke softly.

“I still have some work to do at the office. I’ll fly back this afternoon. When do you plan to go back?”

Lu Zhou thought about it and spoke.

“Probably tomorrow.”

“Then I’ll wait for you.”

After breakfast, Chen Yushan didn’t stay around for long. She left the restaurant straight away. Xiao Tong watched her walk away as she quietly spoke.

“Brother, are you guys…”

Lu Zhou didn’t give her a chance to collect any intel.

“Shut up and eat.”

“Oh…”

After breakfast, Lu Zhou returned to his room.

Chen Yushan had already returned to her room. Lu Zhou called the hotel and bought the set of bedding in his hotel room. He then opened his computer and checked his email.

Just like he expected, Professor Rudy Dobrik had replied to his email.

The Belgian physicist from the University of Brussels used one full page to praise his wisdom and promised him that he would not disappoint his expectations.

To be honest, Lu Zhou felt a little nervous when he read the a*s kissing.

Because people in academia who were good at a*s kissing were often not proficient in scientific research.

However, he thought about Professor Sarrot and remembered that some scientific researchers let their assistants handle their emails. Lu Zhou calmed down a bit and decided to give him a chance to prove himself.

In any case, it would be best to wait until he went back and make a conclusion after reading his report.

Suddenly, the telephone on the bedside table began to ring.

Lu Zhou walked over and picked up the phone.

“Hello?”

A polite voice came from the other end of the phone. “Hello, dear Professor Lu, I am the administrative secretary of the Sweden Embassy of China. You can call me Sun Xuewen or Secretary Sun.”

Lu Zhou said, “Do you need anything?”

Secretary Sun: “Ambassador Zhang Wenbin would like to meet with you. When do you have time?”

Lu Zhou thought for a while and said, “I’ll go there this afternoon.”

“No, no, no, you don’t have to come here. We’ll come and visit you.” Secretary Sun quickly said with a smile, “If you have time in the afternoon, how does three o’clock sound? It won’t take a long time, about one hour.”

“I’m fine, but will it be too troublesome for you guys?”

The man smiled.

“Oh, not at all.”

This was indeed the case. Every time Lu Zhou went outside, the car and the streets had to be checked by his security team. It was better that they came here in person.

With this in mind, Lu Zhou did not continue to insist.

After hanging up the phone, he suddenly realized that Chen Yushan would return to China this afternoon. If he had to meet with Ambassador Zhang, he couldn’t send her to the airport. Thus, he went into her room.

Because he had her room card, he knocked on the door before swiping his card to enter.

When he walked into the room, Chen Yushan was packing her luggage.

Chen Yushan put the last piece of clothing into her suitcase. She stood up. Her long hair was resting on her shoulders. She looked back at Lu Zhou with a smile.

“You already miss me? I said I’ll go to your room after I pack my luggage.”

Lu Zhou hesitated for a bit before speaking.

“I might not be able to send you to the airport, embassy—”

“It’s fine, I know.” Chen Yushan softly kissed Lu Zhou on the lips. Chen Yushan took a step back and looked at him with a gentle smile on her face. She said, ” Don’t feel bad. I don’t want to take up too much of your time, I don’t want to give you pressure.”

“But…”

“You have your career, just like I have my career. 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 twirled her finger around her hair a few times. She looked away awkwardly. It seemed like she was still not accustomed to saying romantic words. She hesitated before quietly speaking.

“Well, Academician Lu belongs to the world, but Lu Zhou belongs to me alone… As long as your heart is with me.”

“Wife…”

“Don’t call me wife, it’s too soon! We are just boyfriend and girlfriend. Also, I haven’t promised to marry you yet.” Chen Yushan looked both happy and a little flustered. She said, “Call me Chen Yushan!”

“Chen Yushan!”

“Oh…”

This hits the spot.

I can’t!

Why is my boyfriend so cute!

So smart, so handsome!

Wow…

Lu Zhou suddenly hugged Chen Yushan. She felt like her brain was stuffed into a steamer, and she could no longer think normally.

Is this what honeymoon feels like?

I want to stay with him 24 hours a day.

“Um…”

“What’s wrong?”

“Before you leave… I want to play a game with you.”

“What game?”

Lu Zhou said, “Hide and seek.”

Chen Yushan, whose head was on Lu Zhou’s shoulder, whispered in his ear, “Oh, when did you become such a bad boy?”

“If you don’t want to, forget it.”

Chen Yushan, whose face was as red as an apple, moved her eyes away subtly. She buried her face on his shoulders.

She quietly muttered, “Um…

“Do I hide first?”

…

Afternoon.

Lu Zhou put Chen Yushan in a car to the airport.

After waving goodbye, the Volvo disappeared at the end of the street. He turned around reluctantly and returned to his hotel.

Even though they wanted to stay together 24 hours a day, he knew in his heart that relationships were only one part of life. Both of them had a lot of work to do. No matter how much he liked a girl, he wouldn’t let it take over every other aspect of his life.

After what happened last night, there was a touch of blue that he had never seen before, in his black and white world.

That was the color of responsibility.

“Are you interested in the Copenhagen Global Climate Summit?” Ambassador Zhang Wenbin, who was dressed in formal attire, spoke to Lu Zhou with a smile. They were sitting in the hotel’s executive lounge.

“Global Climate Summit?”

Lu Zhou didn’t think Ambassador Zhang would suddenly put out such a proposition.

“Yes.” Ambassador Zhang continued with a smile, “Over the past five years, China’s economy has taken off. The GDP growth rate is more than 10%. Not only did we not sacrifice an inch of lakes and mountains, but we even decreased our per capita carbon emissions by 50%!

“We have created a miracle in the history of economic development. We are feeding more than 20% of the world’s population while having the lowest pollution!

“And all this is due to the controllable fusion technology you worked on four years ago. So, our foreign affairs department is discussing whether you should go to the Global Climate Summit to give a report and show off to other countries. Show off to the other countries what we have done over the past few years.”

Lu Zhou nodded.

So they want me to humblebrag for my country.

A touch of interest appeared in his eyes.

“It sounds interesting.”

Ambassador Zhang smiled and said, “It will take you three or four days at most. There might be some travel adjustments.”

“Specifically?”

“The Swedish royal family is going to visit Denmark and take the cruise ship Aurora Borealis to Copenhagen to participate in the summit. There will be dignitaries and entrepreneurs from the Nordic countries on the cruise ship. We want to strengthen the relationship with the Nordic countries as they are our strategic allies. Our plan is that since you are in Stockholm, it’s better for you to take the same cruise as them.

“Of course, if you are not used to taking a boat, we can also arrange a special plane for you. This depends on your preferences.”

It was quite interesting to go on a cruise ship. During the winter nights, beautiful auroras could be seen above the Baltic Sea.

Lu Zhou thought of the beautiful scenery that he saw on the shore of Lake Mälaren. He smiled and nodded.

“It is the responsibility of all of mankind to protect the global climate. It is my responsibility as a Chinese citizen to show the world the contribution China has made in safeguarding the interests of mankind.

“Anyway, I’m not very busy these days, so I’ll go.”
