So how's it done?"
"Get on the roof."
He climbed onto the car agilely and pulled Pipi up, then take off the coat and let Pipi lie on it, lying on her side.
"Cold?" he asked.
"A little." Pipi sniffed.
"Put my scarf on." The scarf covered her face.
Looking up at the sky, Helan's eyes narrowed slowly and indifferently looked to the moon in the sky.
"Hey, Helan," Pipi asked suddenly. "Are you an alien?"
"Do I seem like an alien?"
"A bit. I think you are receiving signals from your planet."
"Well, then, guess what planet I came from. Oh, yes, before asking this question, I have to ask you how many points you got in geography in your college entrance examination. Can you tell me?"
"... sixty-one points."
"So, you don't have any astronomical knowledge."
"...No. Do you come from another planet like Superman?"
"Of course not," he said earnestly. "I am not an alien. I have lived on Earth."
"But why have you been hiding your eyes all the time? You just blinked when you saw the moonlight."
"Well, that is a very good question. It shows that you have strong observation skills."
"Thank you, can you tell me why?"
"Look, I just boasted that you have strong observation skills, then you gave up the observation that'd lead to the answer. This can't be done, you have to continue to observe."
"So, you have admitted that you are not human."
"What place is there that suits me?"
Pipi sat up, looked at him, thought about it, sighed and lay down again. "It can't be. I have never heard of someone coming from the sun."
"Why not? People have been to space, right?"
"That counts?"
"Come on, take your newspaper out."
Pipi was not convinced, but the C City Evening News, which had just been published today, was fished out of her bag: "Here."
The two turned over and spread the newspaper out on the roof of the car. He Lanjing took out the flashlight and looked up: "You are optimistic. I will read it for you."
"This is the front page news: 'The second road has had a serial car accident, two deaths and one injury. The public security department has reminded the public to pay attention to traffic safety."
"What's the matter? Aren't there car accidents every day? This is a real report."
"Of course it's real, look at it here." He turned the newspaper over and pointed to an advertisement: "'Anshun Insurance, giving you a promise of happiness and peace.' See the connection between these two?"
"I didn't see it." Pipi was very honest.
"It doesn't matter, come again. Let me slowly enlighten you. This is the headline of the supporting article: 'Hong Kong sisters' beauty pageant enters the final battle, ten candidates compete in the variety show'." Pipi looked carefully at the photos of the ten faces, all of them beautiful, looking like fairies.
He Lan quietly turned the newspaper and pointed to an advertisement on the last page: "Thousand Beauty Hospital, the first plastic surgery department in C City."
Pipi was suddenly shocked.
