Shen Kuo went to the window to buy a bowl of white rice, added a few side dishes, and ate with Lu Yan.
This meal was the most delicious meal he had this year.
Sometimes, the meaning of eating is not actually to fill the stomach. After a busy day, the family can sit together to have a meal and chat a few words.
The meaning of family and the bonds between relatives are reflected in this meal.
Shen Kuo attached great importance to eating. When his father was still alive, no matter how busy he was, he would always go home to eat with his father.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Yan. The little girl was sipping soup with a spoon. After she finished drinking, he wiped her small mouth with a paper towel.
Lu Yan smiled slightly at him, her eyes were dark and shiny, her skin was rosy, fine fluff could be seen on the white and tender earlobes, and her curled eyelashes were dark and thick.
Shen Kuo raised her thin lips slightly, and looked at her intently with a smile.
"How's the school food?"
"good to eat."
"Then eat more."
When he spoke, his voice had a serious and deep quality, which was very magnetic, but his words were light and light, like snowflakes falling in winter.
At this moment, a boy wearing square glasses sat next to Shen Kuo with a dinner plate: "Shen Kuo, are you eating?"
Shen Kuo glanced at him, his face turned cold, and he replied in a neutral tone: "Yeah."
Lu Yan looked up at the boy curiously. He had a crew cut and looked a little older than them. He had single eyelids, thin lips, and slightly purple.
Judging by Shen Kuo's attitude towards him, he should not be like a friend.
"Shen Kuo, is this your classmate?" She asked in a low voice.
As soon as the boy's gaze fell on Lu Yan, it was as if he was attracted by a magnet, and he couldn't pull it back at all.
There are very few girls in Q University, especially a beautiful and energetic girl like Lu Yan, which is rare in ordinary universities, let alone in Q University.
Cao Zhida immediately extended his hand to Lu Yan, and introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Cao Zhida, and I am a graduate student in the Department of Computer Science."
"Oh! Hello." Lu Yan was eating braised chicken feet, her little hands were greasy, so she didn't shake hands with him.
Shen Kuo said lightly: "Eat quickly, I will send you back after eating."
Lu Yan said dissatisfiedly: "Don't urge me to eat, I hate people urging me to eat. Before Lu Zhen urged me, I wanted to beat him..."
Shen Kuo pursed his lips, took out a tissue and wiped her greasy paws.
There was a feud between Cao Zhida and Shen Kuo. Before he went abroad for an exchange and investigation, the tutor selected students from several graduate students to go to see it together. He thought that the tutor was going to take him, so he bragged about it.
But later it was no name on the list, that's fine, when Cao Zhida saw that Shen Kuo's name was on the list of going abroad for inspection, he felt unbalanced.
Why, why can this undergraduate student go, but he is not eligible to participate as a graduate student of his tutor.
Several classmates and roommates around said that Shen Kuo must have snatched the quota that should have belonged to him. Most of the school saw that Shen Kuo was a poor student with no father and no mother. Out of humanitarian sympathy, they gave him the quota.
Later, Cao Zhida, who was aggrieved, went to ask his tutor, and the tutor told him clearly that it was the meaning of the academy to let Shen Kuo join. Shen Kuo won the national first prize in the TXPC programming competition in the first semester. He has talent and potential It is reasonable for the college to add him to the number of places for exchange and study abroad at public expense.
Cao Zhida certainly knows how difficult the TXPC programming competition is, and it can be regarded as the top competition in this profession.
He participated in the university for four years and participated every year, but he never won an award.
Even at the graduate level, he failed to get any ranking in this competition.
This competition is different from ordinary programming competitions. To put it bluntly, the object of this competition is not ordinary students at all. Those who can win the TXPC programming competition... are definitely geniuses in this field.
In last year's TXPC programming competition, Shen Kuo, as a freshman, was able to win the first prize, which shocked the teachers and students of the whole college.
Since then, this provincial champion who came from Beicheng has become a favorite in the eyes of the professors.
The name "Shen Kuo" is often mentioned by them. There is Shen Kuo in everything, and they want to involve him in any research topic.
Cao Zhida knew that Shen Kuo did not join the exchange group out of any sympathy or pity, but he knew it but didn't want to admit it, so when discussing with his friends, he always used the three words "poor students" in his mouth side-
"Isn't it because of poor family circumstances?"
"The teacher likes these poor students and thinks they have ambition."
"Forget it, forget it, don't think about it, who makes people poor."
"This world is so fucking unfair."
"is not that right."
...
Shen Kuo is not a fool, of course he knows what Cao Zhida said behind his back, but he doesn't care.
In this world, there are not many people and things that he can care about.
Therefore, he asked Lu Yan to eat quickly because he didn't want her to have contact with this man.
Lu Yan didn't know the feud between Shen Kuo and Cao Zhida, so she asked curiously, "Senior, are you Shen Kuo's direct senior?"
"Yeah, we are still in the same research group."
"Well, I'll trouble you to take care of him in the future."
Shen Kuo knocked on Lu Yan's head and reminded: "You can't talk about food, eat quickly."
Lu Yan covered her head and pouted at him unconvinced.
Cao Zhida looked at Lu Yan, she was really beautiful, especially those eyes, smiling like water, as if she could seduce people.
How could such a beautiful girl be with someone like Shen Kuo.
Cao Zhida was puzzled. He looked at Shen Kuo through colored glasses, so naturally he didn't think he was outstanding, and he couldn't understand why the girls at school liked him for such a poor student.
He intentionally wanted to embarrass Shen Kuo in front of Lu Yan, so he said, "Shen Kuo, the innovation plan discussed by our research group last time, yours failed, go back and think about it."
Shen Kuo was quick-witted and knew his intention to mention this matter at this time, so he didn't argue with him immediately.
Cao Zhida didn't want to let him go easily, so he said: "The plan you submitted, you talked about optimizing the functions of chat software, adding chat backgrounds, designing the appearance of virtual characters, and making desktop pets..."
He sneered: "It's completely meaningless to waste resources on these vain things. Even if it is submitted to the tutor, the tutor will not agree."
This is serious.
He completely negated Shen Kuo's creativity, not only that, but his words seemed to have a bit... humiliating meaning.
Shen Kuo still didn't answer him, not even a rebuttal.
When Cao Zhida talked about his enthusiasm, his arrogance became even stronger: "Shen Kuo, I think you have a problem with your thinking. As young people in the new era, especially the favored children of emerging industries such as computers, shouldn't we always be proud of our motherland? The future, for the future of technology, but look what you're doing! It's disappointing to have all these lace designs that don't make any sense."
Finally, Shen Kuo couldn't take it anymore and replied: "Where the market is going."
As soon as Shen Kuo retorted, Cao Zhida immediately got excited, amplified his volume and said, "To cater to those vulgar and vulgar tastes in the market, is this your sense of responsibility of the times as the proud son of heaven!"
The dispute between the two attracted the attention of many students around.
They discussed in low voices.
"Shen Kuo, I know you are poor, but technology is not a tool you use to make money! We have only one purpose in this business, which is to promote the progress of science and technology and the progress of mankind."
The corners of Shen Kuo's eyes trembled, and he said in a deep voice, "Everyone has his own aspirations."
"Ha, listen to everyone, these are the words of the exchange students selected by our school!"
Before he finished speaking, a bowl of soup suddenly splashed on Cao Zhida's face.
Cao Zhida, with greasy vegetables hanging from his hair, was so shocked that he couldn't speak: "You...you..."
Lu Yan smashed the empty soup bowl on the table and looked at him angrily—
"It's said that people have their own ambitions, but you don't understand! Are you an idiot! If you can talk like that, why don't you set up a stage to give a speech!"
Lu Yan's sudden anger caused the surrounding students to stir again.
There are very few girls with a big Q, and all of them are honest. I have never seen such a violent and irritable girl!
Shen Kuo looked at Lu Yan, the little girl's cheeks were flushed with anger, her thin and frail body was trembling, and she was very excited.
He reached out and pulled her to calm her down.
There is really no need, no need to be angry, no need to justify.
He never punishes himself with other people's mistakes, after all, there are too many idiots in this world.
Cao Zhida was outraged at being humiliated in public by such a beautiful little girl, and went up against the crime.
Shen Kuo immediately pulled Lu Yan behind and stood up.
But at this moment, Lu Zhen came over and stood behind him, directly covered the white rice and a few dishes of side dishes on Cao Zhida's head unceremoniously.
Cao Zhida turned his head to see Lu Zhen, and was too shocked to speak.
The students around were also silent, not understanding why Lu Zhen came over to meddle again.
Cao Zhida's body is very lively now, with white rice, greasy meat, and cabbage and green vegetables hanging on it, all kinds of things are in a mess.
He looked at Lu Zhen, his nostrils were about to smoke with anger: "You...you..."
Lu Zhen put the rice bowl upside down on the table, and said with a cold face, "Tap the table lightly, you f*cking scared my daughter."
"You...you are a bully!"
"What's wrong with just bullying you." Lu Zhen took out his real rich second-generation stinky hooligan posture, and pushed Cao Zhida: "I didn't see my girl eating, who are you disgusting, you, get out!"
Cao Zhida knew that he couldn't offend this man surnamed Lu, so he could only leave in despair.
Before leaving, he glanced at Shen Kuo unwillingly, and Lu Zhen said slowly: "If you want to see it, you can see it clearly. Come on, I see you fuck you again and again!"
Cao Zhida couldn't offend Lu Zhen, let alone him, probably no one in the school could offend this big guy.
Who doesn't know the name of Lu's Group, even the school leaders will greet Lu Zhen with nice words when they see him.
On weekdays, I never saw Lu Zhen and Shen Kuo saying a word, and even if they did, there was a dispute.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhen actually protected Shen Kuo so much. If he had known that their relationship was so good in advance, he would never touch Shen Kuo's head.
…
After Cao Zhida left, Lu Yan couldn't eat anymore. She dragged Shen Kuo out of the cafeteria, muttering, "Who is it? I hate it."
Lu Zhen was stuck between Lu Yan and Chen Kuo, and put her on Shen Kuo's shoulder very familiarly: "Why do you have a research group with such a guy?"
Shen Kuo threw his hand away with reservation and disgust, and explained: "It's the teacher's subject, let me join in and do it together."
"It's amazing, other undergraduates don't have the same treatment to engage in projects with their tutors so early."
Lu Yan immediately said, "Shen Kuo is amazing!"
Lu Zhen rubbed her head: "Is he serious, I can't see it, I want you to tell me."
Shen Kuo stopped, pulled Lu Yan to his side, and then pushed Lu Zhen away: "You should go back."
This action made Lu Zhen suddenly feel that his territory had been violated. He gave Shen Kuo a displeased look, and took Lu Yan back.
Shen Kuo grabbed Lu Yan's wrist.
Lu Zhen wrapped Lu Yan's neck under her arm, and went back desperately, while Shen Kuo held her hand tightly.
The two of them... competed.
"Let go!"
"You let go."
"This is my daughter, are you justified in robbing someone?"
Shen Kuo frowned: "What?"
Lu Yan stepped on Lu Zhen's foot hard, and he was in pain, so he jumped up holding his foot: "Damn it!"
The girl gave him a threatening look and told him to shut up.
Lu Zhen was embarrassed, and finally changed her tune: "This is my sister! Mine!"
In the past, Lu Yan might casually mention that Lu Zhen was her father's business in front of Shen Kuo, but Chen Kuo thought she was joking and didn't take it to heart.
Since getting together, Lu Yan never mentioned this matter to Shen Kuo again, never mentioned it, and let Lu Zhen keep it a secret.
The whole world can say it, but Shen Kuo must hide it.
"Lu Zhen, it's time for you to go back to the dormitory." Lu Yan pushed him: "Go back!"
"It's still early, it's boring to go back." Lu Zhen followed behind the two with a deadpan face: "I won't go back."
Lu Yan frowned and said, "What are you doing with us?"
"When I don't exist."
Shen Kuo really pretended that he didn't exist, and walked towards the gate of Communication University with Lu Yan in his arms.
Lu Yan followed him, looking back at Lu Zhen from time to time: "You don't want to play with Jian Yao."
"She has dance lessons tonight."
"No wonder."
Lu Zhen seemed to have thought of something, so he quickened his pace to catch up and asked him, "What Cao Zhida said just now... are you working on social software?"
"Um."
"Like the OICQ before?"
"right."
Lu Yan asked: "What is OICQ?"
Lu Zhen pushed her head away: "When adults talk, children don't interrupt."
"Well... "
Shen Kuo took Lu Yan back to his side, and casually said: "Actually, what Cao Zhida said is not wrong. Making entertainment software such as social software does seem a bit unprofessional, and everyone has a mobile phone, and it is very convenient to contact. Using a computer It is more troublesome to log in to social software to communicate.”
"Oh, it's rare, Shen Kuo, you still have time to listen to other people's opinions."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Kuo said, "But..."
Lu Zhen was discouraged, knowing that there was but...
"However, social software is not unnecessary. Now people are trapped in a real gap between people, and sometimes virtual can bring relief."
"You mean, your social software is different from text messages. Instead of communicating with familiar people, you communicate with strangers?"
"Um."
Lu Yan's blood was boiling with excitement. She really wanted to express her opinion and tell these two old men that the future is completely beyond what they can imagine now. The future belongs to the Internet, and the Internet is not limited to using computers!
In the future, there will be 2G, 3G, 4G and the upcoming 5G. In the future, social software will be indispensable for every Chinese's daily life and work!
But now they can't even imagine the future of the Internet.
Everything Shen Kuo has done now is definitely not in vain. In the next twenty years, people's lives will be changed because of Shen Kuo!
Lu Yan's face was blushing, but she couldn't say that Shen Kuo must not let Shen Kuo know her biggest secret.
Lu Zhen and Shen Kuo hit it off right away about this matter, and they chatted quite speculatively.
Unknowingly, the sky gradually darkened.
The two sent Lu Yan to the downstairs of the dormitory. Lu Zhen said that he would invite Shen Kuo to have a night of beer, and called Liang Ting and Ye Jiaqi out, and the brothers discussed how to do things together.
That's all for Lu Zhen. He almost failed his class last semester, but Liang Ting and Ye Jiaqi are different. These two people's brains can be said to be quite enough, and they are studying the same major. If they can join Shen Kuo and do this together Research.
For Shen Kuo, this is undoubtedly... even more powerful.
However, Shen Kuo rejected Lu Zhen's proposal.
"Huh?" Lu Zhen was about to touch the phone: "Why?"
"No reason."
"Didn't we have a good chat just now?"
"You should go back." Shen Kuo said.
Lu Yan saw Shen Kuo's thoughts.
Lu Zhen still wanted to talk, but she pushed him and said, "Go back soon, just hang around, Jian Yao will come back from get out of class later, look at your hair, it's so oily!"
"Ah, I just washed my hair this morning, is it oily?"
"Very oily!"
"Then... then I'll go back first."
After Lu Zhen left in a hurry, Lu Yan looked at Shen Kuo, who was standing under the streetlight with his hands in his pockets.
The light from the street lamps cast a thin layer of light on his face, making his outline even more distinct.
He didn't show any expression, but Lu Yan could tell that he still had a lump in his heart after all.
She sighed softly, then put her arms around Shen Kuo's thin waist, and pressed her head against his firm chest.
Shen Kuo's hand landed on her shoulder and pressed it a little harder.
Lu Yan buried her face in his clothes and said in a muffled voice, "You don't have to force it."
"what?"
"You don't have to force yourself to be friends with Lu Zhen for me, it's okay."
Shen Kuo paused for a long time without speaking.
He remembered what Lu Zhen said to him when they met for the first time: "From today on, we are brothers."
After Lu Zhen finished speaking, he poured Coke on his head, and then bullied this innocent and kind boy for many years.
But what did Lu Zhen do wrong
He didn't do anything wrong, the wrong person should be Shen Kuo.
"Lu Yan, I don't hate him anymore." Shen Kuo looked up, the sky was full of stars twinkling, falling into his dark eyes—
"You are my family, and so is he."
