When I was about to leave the school gate, I ran into Si Liang. She called out to me in a rare, ladylike voice, so loud that I couldn't even pretend I didn't hear it.
"Xiguang."
I stopped the car, "Si Liang."
She glanced at the paper in my hand, "Come for revisions?"
"Ok."
"How's the paper?"
"It's a mess."
"Come back to the dormitory, and everyone can help you to see. After all, graduation is coming soon, and there are not many days for everyone to get together." Seeing that I didn't say anything, she stopped and said, looking at my expression, " Do you still mind that thing? That thing is a misunderstanding, isn't it, Rong Rong has no ill intentions, you don't need to hold grudges so much."
I turned my head to the side, in fact, I never understood why she was so keen on me and Rongrong and Zhuang Xu, from a very early time.
I thought about it for a while and asked, "Si Liang, do you really think Rongrong has no ill intentions towards me?"
"What ill will there be?" she said with a smile.
"Once, you and Rongrong were in the dormitory. Actually, I was there. The curtain was blocking you. You probably didn't see me. I heard you ask Rongrong. I'm afraid Zhuang Xu will be taken away by me."
Her smile froze.
"Do you remember what Rong Rong said - don't you think she is the best touchstone? The family is rich and powerful, and she looks good. If Zhuang Xu refuses this ladder, I can probably believe that he will not in the future. I'll change my mind."
I learned Rong Rong's tone of voice and vividly repeated the words that made me stunned for a long time. Looking at Si Liang's somewhat embarrassed face, I smiled and said, "Then I will go back to Wuxi that day."
Si Liang watched me get in the car without saying a word, and didn't stop me.
I think after such a conversation, Si Liang probably won't be keen on doing things and getting old. Sure enough, the phone was much quieter in the next few days.
In fact, I didn't have the heart to think about it anymore. According to the advice of my advisor, my thesis was going to be completely rewritten. I had a huge headache, and I didn't know where to start. It's just that I chose this unfamiliar question at the beginning, and regretting it now doesn't help.
He was holding his chin and staring at the computer screen in a daze, when the phone suddenly rang. It was a familiar number.
I hesitated and pressed the answer button.
"Nie Xiguang?"
I was taken aback.
"I'm Zhuang Xu."
I know it is you. I thought silently, but just said stiffly and plainly: "Oh, it's you."
Then there was nothing to say.
There was a pause over there, as if it was just as unnatural as me. "Look at your e-mail. I sent you a letter."
apology letter? Letter of commendation? It's not always a love letter, is it
Before opening the mailbox, all kinds of guesses flashed through my mind, but I never expected that it was actually a paper.
I looked at the word document that I downloaded and opened, and the big bold headline was the source of my troubles these days—Analysis of Oligopoly in the Internet Economy.
Before the call was hung up, Zhuang Xu said, "The thesis was rewritten by me. It is completely different from my own. You can use it directly without any problems."
I have absolutely no idea how to speak.
Angry and euphoria are inappropriate, and the beating of my heart beats me even more.
He couldn't wait for my answer, and said hastily: "That's it... I'm hanging up, come back to me if you have any questions."
Then hung up.
I was stunned for a while before I remembered to read the paper. Zhuang Xuguo's reputation as a great talent in the financial department is really not fake. The paper is clear and well-argued. Unlike my paper, in order to make up the number of words, I write a sentence in the east and write a sentence in the west, which is completely illogical.
But... why did he write this to me
Zhuang Xu has a somewhat arrogant temperament. It is said that last year, a senior senior brother wanted to ask him to write his graduation thesis, and he offered a high price of 5,000, but he refused without hesitation. Rong Rong has always said that he is too lofty and does not know how to be flexible, but now, he has helped me write a paper against the principle, and even clearly told me that it can be used directly.
I lay down in front of the computer and muttered to myself: "Could it be that the alien who called me just now..."
Well, I admit, the stunned past, the shame of not being able to write a paper, and the sweetness that floated in my heart, as if I suddenly got closer to that person and shared a secret ambiguous sweetness.
I scrolled through the papers quickly with the mouse wheel. In a mess, is he an apology in disguise? still is…
A thought popped up in the blink of an eye, and my hand on the mouse stopped. For a while, I couldn't move as if I had been tapped on an acupuncture point. A little happiness just came out of my heart and I retreated cleanly.
Or... is he apologizing on behalf of Rongrong
I stared at the paper, the more I thought about it, the more likely it was. After the misunderstanding was resolved, Xiaofeng called me several times to apologize to me, and Si Liang Afen and the others also called and asked me.
Besides, Zhuang Xu didn't hate me before, how could he help me write my thesis because I was wronged this time.
So... only this explanation makes sense.
I blankly closed the mailbox. Fortunately, those heartbeats just now were just thinking about it, no one knew, otherwise it would be another joke.
Lying on the bed for a while, I picked up the phone, thought about a few lines, called the number just now, and planned to return the paper politely.
The person who answered the phone was someone from Zhuang Xu's dormitory. "You look for Zhuang Xu, wait."
After a while the man picked up the phone again. "Are you in a hurry? If not, please call later. Zhuang Xu fell asleep and didn't wake up after shouting twice."
"Go to bed now?" It's dinner time.
"Yes." The other end of the phone said, "He stayed up late for several days with some information... Hey, he seems to be awake, wait a minute."
Stay up late for several days? I was startled, is it because of this paper
It has only been a few days since I met him in the office last time. In such a short period of time, it is probably not easy to write a 4D dissertation with the same dissertation title that is completely different from my own, even for Zhuang Xu.
I don't know why I suddenly felt a little soft-hearted. I thought silently in my heart, even if he didn't do it directly for me, it could be considered an indirect way for me. But he felt more and more uncomfortable, probably because he was jealous that Zhuang Xu could do this for Rongrong. With such complicated emotions that even I can't figure it out myself, I have begun to regret making this call.
But it was too late to hang up, and Zhuang Xu had already picked up.
"Hello." A slightly sleepy voice.
"Uh... I..." My mind was disturbed, and I forgot all the lines that were designed to be neither humble nor arrogant, "I... that... "
There was silence for a while before asking, "Nie Xiguang?"
"Well, it's me..."
"Is there something wrong with the paper?"
"No, no."
Then there was silence again.
"Ask me if you have any questions."
"Oh, good... See you then." This time, I hung up the phone quickly without waiting for him to respond.
I think Zhuang Xu on the other end of the phone is probably very inexplicable.
In the end I still didn't use his paper.
However, it seemed as if a martial arts master had opened up the two veins of Ren and Governor. Suddenly, the blessings came to the heart, and he was enlightened. He had many new ideas and ideas, and then spent several times the previous effort and stayed up for a few nights to find information by himself. wrote one.
Sometimes I would suddenly stop when I was busy, and remember that he said that if there is any problem, I can contact him. He said it twice, probably not polite. If I really look for him, it is estimated that he will patiently explain, just like his cousin's tutor before, then my purpose of choosing the same thesis topic as him has been achieved.
But now, no matter how thick-skinned I am, I am too embarrassed to do that.
He has already shown so clearly that he already has a place in his heart.
I sent the thesis to my advisor. The teacher was obviously very satisfied, and pointed out a few areas to be revised. The thesis was basically settled.
After the third draft of the thesis comes out, it is almost the defense.
The time is already the end of May.
In half a month, I will officially graduate.
