Bo Ziren waited for a long time until Cheng Jingbo came back and patted her on the shoulder without saying a word. When she lowered her head, she found that he was holding an umbrella in his hand.
He opened the umbrella and walked side by side with her in the rain. The rain fell from the eaves of the umbrella like a thread, and flew in obliquely, staining her sleeves like dewdrops silently, just like his silence at the moment.
"How's your friend doing?" she asked cautiously.
"Not very optimistic, see the consultation next week for details."
She didn't dare to ask more specifics, she was afraid of hearing words such as terminal illness from his mouth, she was not good at comforting people, so she could only quietly observe his side face, when she caught the solemn shadow under his eyelashes, she felt a little distressed, it was inevitable Say something like, "Don't worry, your friend will be fine, and all good people will be safe."
Hearing this, he said a simple "oh", with a slightly puzzled tone.
"With a friend like you, he must be a good person. You don't need to guess."
His eyes were illuminated by the rain, and seemed to be illuminated by her words. Naturally, his mood was not as heavy as before. He moved the umbrella towards her and reminded her: "Come in, Don't get drenched."
When we went back, the road conditions were bad, and the rain and fog continued, and the traffic was even more congested. On the way to wait, Bai Ziren closed his eyes and decided to pretend to be asleep, so that he could digest negative emotions more comfortably, and he didn't want to be noticed after a while :"Fell asleep?"
Her eyelids trembled, she continued to pretend to be asleep, and slowly found that the temperature in the car was a little higher, which was very comfortable.
It was like this, half dreaming and half awake, the car stopped, her eyelids were heavy, and she felt a figure approaching, then put a hand on her shoulder, and called her name very softly, the voice was so sweet that she As for her unwillingness to wake up for a while, she wanted to listen to it again, but he didn't speak again, and the hand on her shoulder slowly moved away, and everything was as quiet as a breeze.
After a long time like this, she secretly raised her eyelids, glanced at him with difficulty through a slit, he lowered his head slightly, which made her feel strange, when he opened his eyes, he closed them too, She leaned over gently, but he didn't move.
She stretched out her hand and pretended to touch the back of his hanging hand unintentionally, and her heart beat like thunder just by doing this.
Not wanting to wake him up, she stayed where she was, and waited for him to wake up by himself, hoping that time would pass slowly and slowly, as if during this time, he belonged to her.
Just when she was doing some small calculations, she heard some movement in her ear. She was taken aback for a moment. He had already opened his eyes, his pupils were like a clear star resting on her face, and asked her in a low voice: "Did you really just now?" fell asleep?"
"Well, I'm suddenly sleepy."
"I thought you were pretending to be asleep."
"Why?" She thought to herself that even this couldn't escape his eyes.
"People who fall asleep don't sit so straight, like students listening to a class."
Bai Ziren was a little embarrassed, he didn't have the courage to lie again, and he was too embarrassed to admit it, so he changed the topic helplessly: "Then are you pretending to be asleep?"
"I'm really tired, so I just close my eyes for a while." He said and looked at the night outside. The rain had stopped and the air was still foggy. "Go back first, I'll sleep for a while before leaving."
Bai Ziren originally wanted to say that I would accompany you for a while, but he felt that it was inappropriate when he said the words. After a little hesitation, he had already unlocked the door.
After walking for a while, Bai Ziren turned his head and vaguely saw him sleeping in the car. He was a little worried and distressed, so he hid himself behind a telegraph pole and stood alone in the cold wind. The cold waited for him to wake up, and she didn't come out until he started the car and left.
Is there anything that can help him? She thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't find an answer. It seemed that her subconscious mind had identified a problem that even he couldn't solve, and she couldn't help it.
Tossing and turning unable to fall asleep, she got up, turned on a small light, and read the book recommended by Cheng Jingbo.
Chapter 1, The Hometown of Wisdom, wrote: "When I lay on my back on the ground, the sunlight entered my eyes through the gaps between the branches and leaves of the cherry tree. I couldn't breathe. They were like countless stars. It was noon. The stars of the day, and long afterward, when the idea of the meson came to my mind, I had a dim glimpse of these noonday stars."
When Nobel physicist Hideki Yukawa recalled his childhood, he specifically mentioned this detail, which seems to be inseparable from his later success in proposing the meson field theory.
There are some small lights in life that can illuminate you for a long time.
Although she had only read a dozen pages, she already had a slight understanding of why he recommended this book.
Lively people, lonely people, each has its own world, the important thing is not to easily deny your own life.
What about him? She doesn't know much about him, but she knows that he is a philosophy teacher and one of the managers of a coffee shop. He is knowledgeable, likes to read books, and is very patient with children. His sister is a pediatrician, and he is still friends with Dr. Chen. Nothing else.
After she was sure that she liked him, she wanted to know more about him, but she suffered from no way and felt lost.
That night, Cheng Jingbo was also unable to sleep. He returned home and was cooking noodles in the kitchen in the early hours of the morning when Cheng's mother found him.
Cheng's mother came over with her clothes on, and asked softly, "Is Xue Ling very sad in the hospital just now?"
Cheng Jingbo defaulted.
"You tell them, if you need help, just ask."
"Don't worry, I already told you."
Cheng's mother opened the refrigerator and took out an egg: "I'll lay an egg for you, so you can eat more nutritiously."
"I'll do it myself, you go upstairs and rest."
Cheng's mother handed the eggs to her son, but she didn't want to miss the opportunity to chat. She stood in the corner and said meaningfully: "Xue Ling's cousin is nice. I met your sister once and said she is very thoughtful. We got along well with you, you can see that we still respect your ideas and actively help you find a girl who can communicate spiritually."
"Xue Ling's cousin, I remember she was very young." Cheng Jingbo's voice was very calm.
"She just graduated and now works for a science weekly and is very enthusiastic."
"Well, it's good for young people to have such a work attitude." He echoed.
"What kind of work attitude, where do you need to evaluate? What you want to look at is other aspects."
"Otherwise it's totally inappropriate."
"You just met once a long time ago. She was still studying at that time, and now her appearance has changed. Why don't you meet again and think about it?"
"I don't really like it that way, and I'm not used to that kind of situation."
Mother Cheng sighed: "It's fine if you really don't want it, we won't force it, but you have to remember, we always miss you, we just hope someone can take care of you, when we leave, you still have a mouthful of hot food .”
Cheng Jingbo said: "There are not so many bitter scenes, I can cook and eat by myself."
Cheng's mother was about to persuade her again, when she heard him say another sentence: "Okay, I understand what you mean, and I will help myself to pay attention."
After speaking, he took out the bowl from the cupboard, put the noodles in the pot into the bowl, and took it to the living room to eat. Cheng's mother was still wondering if she had heard it wrong just now, but he had already sat down on the sofa, turned on the small light, and returned to his hand look through the book.
He didn't like to talk about his thoughts since he was a child, he was independent very early, he had a strong self-assertion in everything, he didn't make decisions lightly, and once he made a decision, he would not change. Cheng's mother was very clear about these characteristics of her son, so she kept silent, but I was always worried that he would be too slow in his relationship. The little girl in the old neighbor's house liked him very much before, and found some opportunities to get close to him, but he didn't seem to see it until the little girl turned her heart to another one. Last year Married, when the family talked about her, he mentioned it, and he said belatedly: "When did she chase me? Why didn't I know about it."
Thinking of this, Cheng's mother was so sad that there were only two of the three children left, both of whom were single.
She was worrying, and saw her son put down the book and picked up the phone, as if he was going to send someone a text message, but put it down again after a while, she couldn't help wondering, who was she trying to contact so late
In fact, after Cheng Jingbo read a text message from Bai Ziren, he was ready to reply habitually. He almost forgot what time it was, and when he realized it, he planned to talk about it tomorrow morning.
The next morning, Bai Ziren received a reply from Cheng Jingbo. He saw that it was sent at five in the morning, and it was a short line: "About your impressions after reading, tell me in person."
She scratched her head, regretting in her heart. She read the book very late last night and was always very energetic. She made a mistake and sent him a long post-reading review. After sending it, she realized that it was one o'clock in the morning. Book, pulled the quilt over her face, and fell asleep. If it wasn't for the alarm, she wouldn't be able to wake up at all.
He was a little lethargic during class, and Bai Ziren almost fell asleep, which made Zhu Mingwen, who was sitting on the side, very happy: "You also have a time when you doze off in class, it's really once in a hundred years, did you stay up all night?"
Bai Ziren shook his head in a daze: "No, I'm reading."
"You bookworm, don't read too much. Have you read an article saying that the more women read, the lower their EQ is. Why don't you go out and have fun while you're young." Zhu Mingwen thought of one thing, "Tomorrow afternoon there will be two class, how about accompanying me to deliver the goods after class?"
Zhu Mingwen works as a purchasing agent in his spare time, and customers in the same city will deliver the goods in person.
Just as Bai Ziren was about to refuse, she heard that the delivery address was the University of Finance and Economics.
"It just so happened that they had a winter star show competition on campus that day, and invited an internet celebrity band to be the judge. We can drop by to see the excitement."
"Are you sure it's the University of Finance and Economics?" Bai Ziren asked.
"yes."
"Then I'll go with you."
On the same day, the Campus Star Show Competition held by the University of Finance and Economics was so powerful that even the names of various sponsors were posted on the school gate. After Zhu Mingwen and the buyer handed over, he rushed to see Bai Ziren to watch the competition.
The competition took place on a temporary stage in the central square of the campus. It was so spacious that it could accommodate a group of models. Before the time came, there was already a circle of people around the stage. Zhu Mingwen squeezed over with great perseverance, turning back again and again to urge Bai Ziren , Bai Ziren is a little helpless, she is not interested, and she is not here to watch the game.
Zhu Mingwen quickly made it to the first lap, while Bai Ziren stayed where he was. It was too late to turn around and slip away. A group of fans in bright orange uniforms rushed over to cheer for their idol band.
Bai Ziren felt that his legs didn't move, but he was pushed by the crowd to the edge of the stage.
Fifteen minutes before the start of the competition, the Internet celebrity band took the lead to perform, and the atmosphere was fired to the highest point. After the dance music ended, the lead singer interacted with the students enthusiastically, holding a microphone and saying, "Do you want to see me perform magic tricks?"
"Think!" The people in the audience shouted loudly.
"I need an assistant, who would?"
"I do!"
Bai Ziren's ears seemed to have been dropped countless small bombs, and the eardrums were almost perforated. Amidst the buzzing sound, it was as if she had an illusion. She saw the lead singer in simple clothes bent down very friendly and pointed in her direction. A little bit: "This female classmate in a blue down jacket, can I do a favor?"
There was an overwhelming voice behind him, and Bai Ziren was pushed onto the stage inexplicably.
"It's very simple, don't be nervous, please help me check whether these playing cards are ordinary playing cards?"
Bai Ziren took the card dully, checked it with his head down, and then nodded.
"Please choose one at random and show it to your friends in the audience, but don't let me see it." The lead singer turned around.
Bai Ziren was already a little bored, and couldn't get off the stage, so he had to follow suit. After choosing the card, he listened to the lead singer's instructions and put it back to the original place. After taking it, with a light swipe, the pattern on the back of the playing card flashed, and it became his personal photo, and everyone screamed and rushed over.
The lead singer thanked Bai Ziren, politely asked her to step down, and continued to talk to the fans, but Bai Ziren found that the road in front of him was blocked, so he had to retreat to the left corner. In it, she was like a black spot, sliding down silently, losing her center of gravity in an instant, and a burst of fear struck her.
Surprisingly, it didn't fall to the ground.
A pair of hands supported her waist in a timely manner. She took advantage of the trend and quickly fell into the spacious and warm arms behind her. She stepped on the other's trouser leg. When she realized something was wrong, she turned around quickly, but she didn't stand still. She threw herself into the arms of the other party, and the other party caught her naturally and powerfully.
With a plop, she lost her balance. She completely clung to this man's body, her chin actually hit his chest, creaked, and gritted her teeth in pain.
In an instant, it seemed that the person holding her laughed in a low voice, the voice was familiar and sweet, exciting.
She raised her head and seemed to see the noon stars that Hideki Yukawa described, no, it was more beautiful than that.
He solemnly reminded: "This classmate, don't patronize nympho when you see idols, and pay attention to safety."
