The course of the second semester of graduate school is similar to that of the first semester. After a semester of tempering, most of the students have returned to the familiar life track, and there is no sense of novelty, especially the boys, who are always lazy and unable to enter the state , until Xu Shuyun, a female teacher teaching Biology English, appeared in the classroom, their eyes lit up, and they discovered the spiritual support.
"Cut, look at their virtues." Zhu Mingwen complained in a low voice.
Bai Ziren stopped writing and looked up at the podium. The boys were all holding scrolls and queuing up to ask Teacher Xu questions.
Zhu Mingwen sighed softly: "Drunkards don't want to drink, the toad wants to eat swan meat, Mr. Xu is so beautiful, he must have already been famous, so it's their turn."
Bai Ziren heard the words and said: "Teacher Xu is not only beautiful, but also lectures are very clear and focused."
"No, no, for boys, the important thing is that she is wearing a violet sweater dress today." Zhu Mingwen went on self-consciously, "Such a thin skirt is completely attached to the lower abdomen, so how thin is her waist?"
Bai Ziren also took a look at Teacher Xu's waist. It was indeed very thin, and it looked beautiful in a close-fitting skirt.
"Students and teachers, an eternal topic."
Bai Ziren turned around: "You mean a good-looking teacher, who will be very popular with students?"
Zhu Mingwen shook his head: "It's not just that I like it, it's simply a fantasy."
Bai Ziren thought of Cheng Jingbo, his appearance was the most beautiful in the world.
"Unfortunately, none of the male teachers in our school are handsome, and few have good facial features." Zhu Mingwen lowered his head and turned a page of the book, "Compared to boys, our girls' life is a stagnant pool."
A text message came silently from the mobile phone placed in the center of the table. Bai Ziren glanced at it and found that it was from Cheng Jingbo.
"Huh? Who is Brother Cheng?" Zhu Mingwen accidentally glanced at him from the corner of his eye and asked softly.
Bai Ziren didn't hear it, so he took his mobile phone to read the message, and saw a message from him: "Be more attentive in class."
She laughed silently, and received text messages from him every day since school started. He asked her to eat more, don't forget to wear gloves, and not stay up late to read books, etc. She was reluctant to delete each of them.
Seeing the gentle smile on the corner of Bai Ziren's mouth, Zhu Mingwen was dumbfounded for a while, and quickly asked, "Who is Brother Cheng?"
"It's my boyfriend."
Zhu Mingwen's expression seemed to be struck by lightning in an instant, but fortunately Bai Ziren didn't notice it, and she was still concentrating on looking at her phone.
During the lunch break, Bai Ziren was looking for books in the library. When he reached for the book on the top row, he grabbed it with the other hand.
Zhou Biyi leisurely flipped through the books she was interested in, and felt that they were very boring, so he threw them back to her.
"thanks."
Zhou Biran looked at her face and asked directly, "Do you really have a boyfriend?"
Bai Ziren nodded in acknowledgment.
Zhou Bibi wanted to ask who it was, but he tried his best to restrain himself. No matter how proud he was, he knew that he was not qualified to ask her about her feelings.
But I have to admit that he is in a very bad mood at the moment, and his words are also sour: "I never thought you would have such a day."
Bai Ziren didn't hear the emotion in his words, and responded very simply: "I didn't think of it myself."
"Forget it, no matter who it is, it's better than the pious Zhou Xianran." Having said that, Zhou Bibi's voice softened, "I can't accept you as my sister-in-law."
"Don't worry, I already have someone I like, and I will always like it forever, and it will never change."
A burst of bitterness rose in Zhou Biran's throat, like a dumb man eating coptis, and he had a vague feeling in his heart that only he knew.
"Goodbye." She was leaving.
"Hmm." He responded perfunctorily.
When she left, he still stood where he was, took out his pockets, and slowly took out the earphones and put them on.
He still remembers the first time he saw her. She was leaning against a corner of the corridor, holding a Chinese textbook in her hand, and was reading a paragraph softly. He happened to pass by, but she stopped abruptly, and immediately closed the book. He turned his head and looked at her. She, she frowned, bowed her head in deep thought, he didn't know what she was thinking about, he just thought she was very beautiful, with long black hair and a neck as white as a swan, standing like that, she also looked graceful and pleasing to the eye .
He was a transfer student at that time, and other classmates looked down on him, and he also looked down on those nerds. Only she, although she was also a nerd, was pleasing to his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years passed by, and the bookworm back then also had a boyfriend, but he was still a bachelor.
The music of Led Zeppelin came to his ears, and his heart sank endlessly in the dark and sad world. Finally, he regained a little short-term balance.
In the next two days, it was very rare for Zhou to not come to class. The boys in the same dormitory said that he was ill, with a high fever of 39 degrees, and now he was on an intravenous drip at the hospital in the city center. one thing.
"It's all so sick, what else do you want to eat?"
"He said he wanted to eat melon seeds." The roommate was also at a loss.
Everyone burst into laughter, and this matter was quickly spread to ten and ten, and after that, Zhou Biran's image was greatly reduced.
Before I knew it, it was Friday, and Bai Ziren was in Fu He's office at noon, helping to correct the test for undergraduates.
"Xiaobai, don't you have class this afternoon?" Fu He took a sip of tea.
"Ok."
Fu He put down the water glass, opened the drawer, and said politely while looking for things: "I have a point card here, which was issued last year. It was a year old last month. Today is their store anniversary. You can use it for a year The total amount of consumption can be exchanged for gifts, can you run for me, can I? I still have a meeting in the afternoon."
As he spoke, he finally found the card in a corner of the drawer, took it out and handed it to Bai Ziren: "Xiao Bai, I'm sorry to trouble you."
"It's okay, I'll help you exchange it." Bai Ziren agreed without saying a word.
With a smile on his face, Fu He took a sip of tea leisurely, squinted his eyes and looked at his student, feeling that she had changed a bit.
In the afternoon, Bai Ziren arrived at Longtai Department Store by bus, found the counter that Fu He was referring to, and successfully exchanged for him a thermos bottle and a car neck pillow. Cheng Jingbo chose a small night light with exquisite workmanship, which can be placed on the desk, the head of the bed and the back of the car seat, and can also be folded and carried around, which is very convenient.
When Bai Ziren was queuing up to pay, there was a person behind her who kept looking at her. It was Zhou Xianran who had been on a blind date with her. He was eating at the business restaurant on the ninth floor at noon today, and he received a short message from his sister, asking him to bring a The aromatherapy humidifier of the German brand went back and said that it should be placed in the bedroom.
Zhou Xianran didn't expect to see her again, the first woman in history who didn't dump him, he recognized her at a glance.
Probably because of her tall stature and good figure, her back was attractive enough. When she turned her head and casually looked at the crowd behind her, he caught her eyes.
Thinking back to the cold reception he received that day, Zhou Xianran didn't feel angry or frustrated, but had some aftertaste.
It's also quite interesting that such a woman with character occasionally appears in a busy life.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yanan slightly twitched the corners of his mouth.
Waiting for Bai Ziren to go to the elevator door to wait with the things he bought, he suddenly heard a light cough behind him.
"Miss Bai, what a coincidence."
Bai Ziren turned his head and saw Zhou Xianran standing in front of her in a suit, leather shoes and tie, with a polite smile on her face, but she was very uncomfortable. What Zhou Biyi said came to her mind. It's better to keep people at arm's length, she thought so, so she didn't say hello, turned her eyes away, and concentrated on waiting for the elevator.
"Today's store celebration, there are so many people, what did you buy?" he asked.
Bai Ziren didn't speak.
Zhou Xianran didn't feel embarrassed either, she just smiled and said to herself after a while: "It seems that Ms. Bai is really not interested in me."
Bai Ziren didn't hear what he said clearly, he was only thinking about one question, why is the elevator so slow.
Zhou Xianran stopped talking, kept half a meter away from her, and waited together.
After a while, the elevator arrived, and when the door opened, Zhou Xianran stretched out his hand in a gentlemanly way, indicating that women are the priority, but Bai Ziren took a step back.
Zhou Xianran showed helplessness, so he had no choice but to go in first, looked at her, and said silently: "Are you still coming in?"
Bai Ziren paused for a second, made up his mind, turned his head and walked quickly towards the stairs.
When the elevator door closed, Zhou Xianran had to face up to a problem. She was actually regarded as a kind of germ, not only eating at the same table, but even sharing the same elevator. In just a few minutes, she didn't want to. Okay, now I also frowned, realizing that I was really upset by a little girl.
When they arrived at the underground garage, Zhou Xianran picked up the car and looked around for people while driving out. Finally, he saw Bai Ziren standing beside the bus stop. This time he stopped being courteous. He made a smart turn, and the car sped past her, immediately taking her to the bus stop. A gust of wind blew up the corner of Bai Ziren's scarf.
Bai Ziren pulled up the scarf, heaved a sigh of relief, and then lifted the night light in his hand, thinking that he would like it when he saw him at night and gave it to him.
As expected, Dang Cheng Jingbo took the night light and said he liked it very much, and charged it after admiring it for a long time.
Tonight, there are only two tables of guests in the living room on the second floor of the lighthouse. The lights are not fully turned on. The night light that is charging is on and off. It is round, like a moon half immersed in sea water and half floating in the night sky.
As usual, Cheng Jingbo asked Bai Ziren how he was doing this week, whether he had eaten on time, kept warm and went to bed early and woke up early.
After Bai Ziren answered one by one, he lay down on the table and looked at him: "Don't worry, I'm not a child, I will take care of myself."
He smiled, and slowly brushed her forehead hair with his slender hands.
She also smiled, and made a request: "By the way, can you read to me? I like your voice."
"No problem, you can choose a book yourself."
Bai Ziren went to the bookcase at the top of the stairs to find a book, returned to the table, and Cheng Jingbo patted his sofa: "Sit down."
So, she sat down next to him, took the opportunity to pick up the book and looked at the title, it was Jiang Xun's book, she had never read it, and handed it to him directly.
He turned over one of the pages and began to read for her. After reading a line, as if thinking of something, he reminded: "You can lean on my shoulder."
"… it is good."
She leaned her head on his shoulder and looked at his face from a close distance. Under the semi-dark light and shadow, his handsome lines seemed to be drawn little by little with exquisite brushstrokes. Enjoyment, the voice in her ears is the same, clear and slow, like a clear spring falling into a rock, it makes people's heart beat, she inexplicably thought of Zhu Mingwen's words, and thought to herself that if she met such a teacher when she was studying, she might not be able to resist the temptation, Approach him with the excuse of asking questions.
"From the north of the island all the way to the south, the scenery along the way is changing."
He continued reading to her.
"Light is active in the darkness. It is indeed like looking at a Rembrandt painting. At first glance, it is all black. After you calm down and look at it for a minute, you will find an additional light."
"Rembrandt in the seventeenth century painted in the light of candles and torches. He also observed the light from dawn to sunset, and observed the light from sunset to moonrise. In the dark winter of the Northland, he gazed intently at the night snow. There was a little light on the ground that was not easy to detect, and he was tired of concentrating, so he closed his eyes."
"The light flows on the back of the hands of the aging mother who is flipping through the scriptures, and the dark places in the wrinkles and crevices on the back of the hands are full of thin light."
He stopped, put the book on his lap, and looked down at her, and she lifted her head from his shoulder to meet his eyes.
"I didn't have class the afternoon before yesterday, so I wanted to come to see you." He said.
"Why didn't you come?"
"I'm afraid I'm acting too hastily."
"I miss you too."
"How much do you want?" He asked seriously.
"I think about it every day except in class, and sometimes I also think about it in class. I don't know what the teacher is talking about."
As she spoke, she got a little closer to him, and he stretched out his arms to wrap around her, placing his hands on her waist.
"Be attentive in class, you can miss me after class."
"If only it could be done."
He touched her forehead: "If you want too much, you can call me, and I'll come to you."
"Do you have the time?"
He put his slender hands on her waist and put them into his arms: "Don't worry, no matter how busy you are, I will have time to take care of you."
An hour later, there were two more tables of guests in the living room, and there was a table with four people playing cards. It smelled of smoke. Because of lack of sleep for several days, Bai Ziren was tired and fell asleep steadily. After sleeping for a while, Cheng Jingbo carried her to the office on the third floor, just as Xiao Ji was carrying French fries and popcorn upstairs, seeing this scene suddenly, almost slipping.
After standing still, Xiao Ji's back was covered in cold sweat, and he closed his eyes and said silently: "Pure as I am, I have never seen any princess hugging me, and I don't know who sent someone to deliver a new, sturdy sofa bed this morning. Later, no matter what loud noises are upstairs, even if it is deafening, I will not be able to hear it... Only by remembering my mother's words and not hearing people's wrongs can I live a long time in the workplace."
