The weather in March in the north is still the temperature that requires wearing a down jacket to keep out the cold, but Lin Lan is already in spring.
For two whole years, Bai Xunyin, who didn't return to his'hometown' during the winter and summer holidays, suddenly set foot on the damp land of Linlan, and felt extremely familiar for a while-maybe this is the best interpretation of the four words'born and grown in the home'.
In the afternoon, the plane arrived at Lin Lan at more than nine o'clock, and the sky was dark, and the stars were shining.
There were not many people on the tarmac. Bai Xunyin stood there and took a few deep breaths. The people around were hurrying, but she was dragging the suitcase in a hurry.
Bai Xunyin was prepared for Lin Lan's temperature. Naturally, he couldn't wear the wool coat from the north. The thin shirt was covered with a simple cream-white shawl, the jeans were thin, and a pair of canvas shoes were under his feet.
The two fishbone braids were loosely draped over the shoulders, pure and pure like a student. No, although she is twenty-four this year, she is still a student.
Perhaps because he hasn't left campus for so many years, Bai Xunyin has always been accustomed to simple casual clothes, and he is accustomed to not applying powder on his face.
It’s even simpler when I’m in school, changing my two white lab coats-simply staying in the laboratory all day.
Yu Wei, who loves beauty in the same bedroom, once ruthlessly criticized her for “not dressing up and wasting a face that is full of the country and the city”, Bai Xunyin just didn't take it seriously.
She feels that some aspects of herself may be born'lazy', lazy make-up, and lazy to compete with others, so she doesn't like fast-paced cities and life, and keeps herself in the rush of everyone The usual rhythm.
Until the ringing mobile phone broke the unhurried pace of Bai Xun Yin.
She took it out and glanced at it. It was Amo's call, which was ringing now, and there were seven or eight that hadn't been received when the machine was turned off.
"Bai Xun Yin!!!" As soon as he answered, Amo's loud voice almost pierced her ears: "Why don't you answer my call? Have you arrived yet!"
"It's here." Bai Xunyin hurriedly responded, for fear that he would be slow to make Amo angry: "I just got off the plane."
"I'm in the T parking lot." Amo's voice softened a little: "Hurry up."
Hearing that Bai Xun Yin had to speed up his pace, he said helplessly, "Didn't I say that I shouldn't use it to pick up."
"Yinyin, I know you don't want to trouble me, but isn't this a joke? Can I not pick you up when you come back?" Amo said naturally, "Come here."
She hung up after speaking.
Bai Xunyin looked at the black screen of the phone and shook his head helplessly.
When Amo was in college, he didn’t know what he had smoked. He actually studied'Forensic Medicine'. After graduation, he went to work in the police station. He dealt with the police and various corpses every day, and his people became more and more. Resolute and resolute, almost all of them are almost irrelevant.
Bai Xunyin followed her before, and now he dared not resist her.
She obediently pulled the suitcase and ran to the T parking lot. From a long distance away, she saw Amo's rather sleek Wrangler—the little girl didn't even buy the same car as other girls.
Amo jumped out of the car, ran over and gave Bai Xunyin a bear hug sturdily, and almost threw him down.
"Uuuuuuuu I want to kill you!" With his face buried in Bai Xunyin's neck, Amo complained with his nose and tears: "Bai Xunyin, you are too cruel! You haven't come back for two years. One trip!"
Bai Xunyin patted her head helplessly, and coaxed like a doll: "What's the difference? Don't we talk on WeChat every day?"
After hearing such words of'incomprehensible style', Amo couldn't help glaring at her: "How can it be the same!"
"Why come back? There is no place to live." Bai Xunyin smiled indifferently, as if talking about other people's affairs calmly: "How can there be a short-term rental for more than a month? My grandparents set up a bed and breakfast in the ancient town. , There’s not enough space in normal times, why should I come back and cause trouble?"
These Amo had actually known it for a long time.
But every time Bai Xunyin compares herself to'trouble', she still can't help but feel distressed.
"Now I'm all right, I moved out and rented a house by myself!" Amo turned to the serf and sang, clasped her shoulders and said proudly: "Baby, you live with me! Let's live with me in the future!"
Bai Xunyin only turned his head and kissed her, without rejecting Amo's proposal.
She doesn't have a house in Linlan, so she can only live with Amo for a while. After that, she will apply to the professor to enter the research institute, so that the school will allocate welfare housing and naturally move out.
Amo was'fortunately' by this sweet kiss, feeling that he was a little airy.
She stumbled excitedly: "The little fairy kissed me, this is a treatment that many big men and gods who chase you can't enjoy..."
Naturally, Amo knew about the zero love history during Bai Xunyin's college, and he was even more proud of it.
Hey, who makes everyone's favorite Yinyin only like her!
"Yinyin, do you still have no one by your side now?" While driving while waiting for a red light, Amo talked to her about his'love life' without changing the essence of gossip: "I think you are a prisoner who looks like you. Can't let it go."
… What magical analogy is this? Amo deserves to be a forensic doctor.
Bai Xunyin shook his head: "No, how about you?"
She didn't want to talk too much about this issue, and naturally changed the subject.
"I, really do." And Amo's'compass' hasn't changed for many years, and it was naturally moved by her. Ming Yan's face is very sweet: "Sheng Wen is chasing me recently!"
This answer was completely unexpected by Bai Xunyin, she couldn't help but froze for a moment: "Sheng Wen?"
"Yes, he went back to Lin Lan two years ago." Amo mentioned Sheng Wen with an invisible smile in his eyes: "It's just that we haven't been in contact before, and we happened upon a case recently. , He started chasing me."
"But of course I can't be chased by him casually. I have suffered in high school, and I must return it to him in full!"
Amo's slender fingers squeezed the steering wheel tightly, and his voice was gritted teeth—obviously thinking of his previous bitter career in high school.
Bai Xunyin blinked and said sharply after a long while: "You still like him."
"... nonsense." Amo was like a bulging balloon that had been punctured for a moment, and the air he was holding on disappeared: "I tried dating when I was in college, but I always felt something was wrong. Those boys pulled me. I feel nauseous with my hands. But when I see Sheng Wen... Do you know the urge to have hormones again?"
She sighed confessing her fate: "I feel like I've been planted on him all my life."
Bai Xunyin pursed his lips, stretched out his plain hand to cover the back of Amo's hand, rubbed it lightly, and silently expressed the words'I am'.
She knew better than anyone about the pain of Amo when she was separated in the third year of high school. In fact, she seemed to be careless during the time when she followed Sheng Wen, and she was always tortured by the latter's indifference.
Bai Xunyin understands the pain, so she respects Amo's current decision more.
She must have liked Sheng Wen very much, so she ignored the pains that had been past, because'scars' were not worth'cure'.
The reason why Amo chose to'reunite' with him, and let him go, was it because he was planted on him
Just a broken mirror, can it really be recirculated
All the way back, Bai Xunyin was thinking about this problem unconsciously, analyzing the framed analysis like a normal research paper, until Amo called her back to God with a single sentence—
"Yinyin, these years... have you connected with Yu Luoyin?"
Bai Xunyin was startled, and shook his head: "No."
"Then..." Amo remembered some news circulating in the WeChat classmate group, and he hesitated to ask: "Then you want to know..."
"I don't want to." Bai Xunyin interrupted her and said without hesitation: "Amo, I don't want to know about Yu Luoyin."
I haven't mentioned this name in my mouth for several years, and now I suddenly blurted out, it feels a bit rusty.
Amo looked at her indisputable expression, and his mouth opened and closed a little awkwardly-it was obvious that he wanted to speak and then stopped, but in the end he chose to shut up.
It's fine, she doesn't understand, it's all about hearsay some rumors, it's better not to talk nonsense.
Bai Xunyin smiled dazedly, pushed the car door under Amo's stunned vision, jumped out of the car, and took out his luggage from the trunk.
Already at the house where Amo rented.
Bai Xunyin arrived at Lan Da to report the next day.
Wearing a simple jeans and white shirt, when she walked into this quaint college with a long history, she looked almost the same as the youthful students on the campus—or even smaller.
She doesn't know why she is always a little nervous about this school. It may be due to the word'guilty of heart'. A thin layer of sweat swelled out of her palms during the short journey from the school gate to the teacher's building.
Bai Xunyin breathed a sigh of relief until he entered.
She had made an appointment to see Li Chengfeng before, and the journey was naturally unimpeded. The staff in charge of registration in the teacher's building checked her ID card and asked her to go to the senior professor's office on the third floor to find someone.
Bai Xunyin followed his words, knocked on the door twice and heard a low "come in" from inside.
Li Chengfeng is an elegant professor in his fifties. The admission criteria are very strict, but he is kind to the already optimistic students. He smiled when he saw Bai Xunyin and hurriedly asked her to sit down: "Sit down, you Isn't it the Xiaobai recommended by Lao Sun? I've heard his name for a long time."
"Professor Li." Bai Xunyin was naturally looking at Li Chengfeng's photos, but he did not expect that the famous Professor Li would be so easy to talk. After listening to the praise, he was a little embarrassed and said quickly: "Where can I be and see you? It's an honor."
"Don't be so humble. The emails you sent before contain work results, scientific research results, and ideological and political performance in school. I have read them. It is very good. Old Sun can write you a recommendation letter and find it. The other two old guys helped. I believe you don’t need to question your business ability.” Li Chengfeng smiled: “Did you bring the rest of the things you need today?”
What he was talking about was naturally some master degree certificates, final academic certificates, final academic certificates, and the like.
"Bring it." Bai Xunyin said hurriedly, and handed the sealed folder to Professor Li, and smiled embarrassedly: "Professor, I am a hard-student. I really can't afford you and Professor Sun. Compliments."
"Well, it's a good thing for people to understand that self-humility is good." Professor Li looked down at the document and said calmly: "self-humility, self-confidence, and conceit. It seems that there is a big difference, but it is often just in the middle of a thought."
"Xiaobai, the first time you came in, I felt like you were just a college student, not like a student who has been studying for six years. You are full of books and don’t smell like copper. It’s good. I like you. A good material that is naturally suitable for reading."
Li Chengfeng deserves to be one of the most authoritative professors in the country.
Bai Xunyin heard it, and was especially educated.
"I like the kind of haughty and self-effacing students, you can understand."
After reading the document, Li Chengfeng closed it and put it in the drawer—this also meant that the dust had settled. He accepted the student Bai Xunyin.
Bai Xunyin's hanging heart fell from the moment he entered the office, and he secretly let out a long sigh of relief.
"Students like you are the ones who really do scientific research." Li Chengfeng held up his teacup, sipped his mouth, and waved to Bai Xunyin: "Go, Xiaobai, go back and prepare for the exam."
Prepare to take a formal exam.
Bai Xunyin stood up and bowed deeply at Li Chengfeng.
The matter of the doctoral supervisor is settled, there is nothing to worry about next, just wait for her to go to Lan University to continue studying after the audit examination in April.
The nerves were tense for six years, and Bai Xunyin could hardly feel what is called'relaxation'—as if she was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
After thinking about it, she called Amo, who happened to be on vacation today.
The latter answered in seconds: "What's the matter?"
"It's okay, go out shopping."
"Fuck, are you white looking for sound?" Amo was shocked on the other side of the phone: "You actually do such a feminine activity of shopping?!"
…
Bai Xunyin didn't want to talk to her very much.
"Hurry up, hurry up." Amo was already urging: "Locate you and send me."
Half an hour later, the two had afternoon tea in the Linlan CBD Golden Commercial District.
"Why do you suddenly think of shopping?" Amo loves all desserts. Relying on his lack of fatness, he sat down and wiped out the chocolate cake on the table frantically. He also tried to feed Bai Xunyin: "Try it."
"Too tired." Bai Xunyin doesn't like sweet food, frowning to express disgust, took a sip of the American style in front of him, and answered Amo's last question: "There is a school girl I know who is celebrating her birthday recently. A Gift."
Before Yu Shitian heard that she was going back to Lin Lan, he said excitedly that his birthday happened in late March and he would be able to catch it when she came back. And'ordered' her to come to her birthday party, not coming is not a good sister.
Bai Xunyin couldn't help it, it didn't matter if he thought about it, he just had to pick a decent gift, it was not easy to be empty-handed.
"Who? Is that the little girl you said you met in the north?"
"Yeah." Bai Xunyin closed the broken hair in his ear, recalling what Yu Shitian had said to her on the phone before: "She is also Lin Lan's, she seems to be a rich and charming girl in the family."
"You have money... It's really shabby that can't be given away."
Amo touched his chin and thought, then he dragged Bai Xunyin to the luxury store on the first floor, and then took her to try perfume.
"It's best to give perfume, and there are not too many essential items for girls." Amo sprayed a little on his wrist with a trial outfit, and leaned over to smell Bai Xunyin: "What about this? It's so fresh."
"Yes, this is our new product this season." The shopping guide on the side interrupted in due course, and said with a smile: "This perfume is called'Youth', and it is most suitable for young girls."
So Bai Xunyin was confused and bought this bottle of perfume as a gift for Yu Shitian. In fact, to her heart, she still felt that the act of buying a bottle of perfume for thousands of dollars was called a'fool'.
Because she does not belong to the kind of girl who needs such a'must-have'.
"Okay, it will definitely save you face." Amo smiled at the luxuriously packed perfume box, and asked casually, "Where is your friend's birthday party?"
Bai Xunyin thought for a while: "It seems to be called'Pingxi Club'."
"Fuck?" Amo was startled, and looked back at Bai Xunyin blankly: "Then your friend is really rich, rich second generation, right? It is said that Pingxi is not a high-ranking official and can't get in, let alone Said it was a birthday party."
Bai Xunyin didn't expect Yu Shitian to have such a big background, but he still smiled indifferently: "It's okay, I'll give a gift anyway."
"How could it be okay!" Amo called, and glanced up and down at her white shirt and jeans: "Are you going to wear this?"
Bai Xunyin: "No way?"
Amo was serious: "Then you can't even get in the door of Pingxi."
…
Bai Xunyin was speechless, and was unwillingly pulled by Amora to pick out clothes.
"Your clothes are really, not what I said. They are too plain. Do you think you are a high school student?" Amo helped her choose clothes, while babbling her to educate her: "Now high school students don't have the plain style you wear. No, it’s not that I remembered you telling me that your project salary is pretty high, and you don’t have much money to spend, why don’t you buy a few clothes? It’s all pilling!"
Bai Xunyin silently pulled back a corner of his coat, and said stiffly, "I can wear it anyway."
Amo rolled his eyes and put two skirts into Bai Xunyin's arms unbearably: "Go try."
Bai Xunyin was forced to push into the fitting room, looking at the two skirts in his hand, his expression was a little dazed.
In fact, she was not so "incomprehensible" before, she still loves to wear skirts, but the weather in the north is cold, sunny days when she can wear skirts every few months, plus she is three hundred and sixty-five days and three hundred a year. I have to stay in the laboratory every day, it is inconvenient to wear a skirt, and there will be nothing in the closet over time.
It's been a rare leisure for two months, and it seems that I can wear it again.
Bai Xunyin smiled, took off his clothes and put on this dark green suspender skirt.
The skirt is tailored to high-level, high-waisted retro style, and the color is also the kind of retro green, like the wrap skirt worn by British ladies in the 1990s. It has undergone modern adaptation and embellishment by the designer. Bai Xun Yin's skin is as delicate as porcelain.
The thin shoulder straps point to the thin and slender shoulders, and the chest curvature and the slender waist form an S-shaped curve. The satin wrap skirt makes the white back and the proud waist-to-hip ratio all at a glance.
This kind of suspender skirt, casually put on an outer lining, is just right to wear in Lin Lan's March sky.
When Bai Xunyin walked out of the fitting room uncomfortably, he keenly felt that the eyes of Amo and the two salespersons went straight.
"Little, miss." The salesperson wiped off the drool that almost came out, and stammered: "Can I take a picture of you?"
Bai Xun Yin: "?"
The salesperson makes a fist: "I think you look better than the model on our poster!"
…
In the end, Bai Xunyin didn't want to try again, so he swiped his card to buy this one.
Until the happy Amo left, Bai Xunyin didn't want to understand why Yu Shitian bought clothes for her birthday.
It stands to reason that although she has not returned to Lin Lan in recent years, she is also a native of the country, but this Pingxi clubhouse hasn't been heard much before. Is there such an exaggeration that Amo said
But until Yu Shitian's birthday, Bai Xunyin hurried over at the agreed time, and found that the place was on the side of Pu Guan, where the place was just an inch of gold.
She had heard of Pu Guan from Bai Hongsheng's mouth before. It was Lin Lan's most prosperous business district, and she was a business person.
But it is said that only people with a current asset of more than 50 million and a net worth of more than 100 million can have the'qualification' to settle in Puguan, Schrödinger's qualification.
Taxis can't enter the Puguan inner area, they can only stop on the edge of the road.
Bai Xunyin walked for a while before seeing the Pingxi Clubhouse. The seven-storey single-floor building was built in black with marble and glass. Even though the sky was a bit dark, there was still a feeling of'lighting' when looking at it. .
… No wonder Amo said that she would be driven away when she came over wearing a shirt and jeans. Now that Pingxi Clubhouse is such a place, Bai Xunyin doesn't want to go in.
She stood at the door and hesitated for a moment, then took out her mobile phone and called Yu Shitian.
Five minutes later, Yu Shitian, wearing a shiny pink mermaid skirt, ran out, with a shiny diamond crown on her head, cos a living little princess.
"Sister, why did you come here? I want to kill you." Yu Shitian was still walking like flying, wearing a wrapped fishtail skirt, rushing in two steps to hold Bai Xunyin's arm, smiling charmingly and pleasantly: "Come in, come in! It’s the first time I saw my sister, you wear a skirt, it’s so pretty!"
"Wait... Tiantian, happy birthday." Bai Xunyin handed her the box in her hand, and smiled politely: "I think I may not be very comfortable with this environment, here are all of you young people..."
"Chee, why do you pretend to be a year older than me?" Yu Shitian curled his lips and said unhappily, "We haven't seen each other for so long, so you want to send me just a gift? , You must go in and cut the cake with me! I have something to tell you later."
…
No way, Bai Xunyin had to be dragged in by her.
When Yu Shitian celebrated her birthday, she just wanted to make her happy, and didn't want to argue.
Fortunately, after entering this quiet club room where every brick seemed to be engraved with'money', Bai Xunyin realized that it was not as noisy as she had imagined.
Everyone was arrogant, gathered together in twos and threes to talk, only to say a few words when the birthday star came back.
Naturally, many people saw Bai Xunyin's eyes light up, and they were busy letting Yu Shitian introduce or introduce something.
"Go away." Yu Shitian naturally knew that Bai Xunyin didn't like these messy noises, and snorted unceremoniously: "This is my sister, hurry up and drink your wine, don't worry about it."
Everyone curled their lips and looked at Yu Shitian extremely'protecting the calf', and they had no choice but to disperse in anguish.
But in other places they still have to'slaughter her'. A man wearing a motorcycle outfit with five or six ear diamonds on his left ear took a bottle of Lafite, and raised his eyebrows at Yu Shitian: "Did it?"
"Come on?" Yu Shitian raised his eyebrows: "Anyway, my brother will come over to help me check out. You can drink whatever you want."
It seems that if someone is backing it up, he is confident and generous.
Bai Xunyin pursed his lips and smiled, and whispered something in her ear: "Tian Tian, I'll go sit there, don't worry about me."
She knew that she was a little out of tune with this atmosphere, but she didn't want Yu Shitian to take care of her too much, so that she would be disappointed.
"Hmm." Yu Shitian was busy dealing with the people coming and going around, and nodded like a mole: "Sister, go and sit down. I'll look for you to play later."
Bai Xunyin nodded, found a corner and sat down.
She still doesn't adapt to the crowded and noisy places, and other people's conversations openly and secretly, so she has to take a sip of the wine in front of her from time to time to minimize her presence.
Fortunately, the box Yu Shitian booked was very large, and there would not be so many people who noticed her in the interlaced time.
Bai Xunyin lowered her head to find that the straps of her shoes were open, and she bent over to tie her eyebrows lightly-she had said before that she was not suitable for wearing these lace-up shoes with micro heels, but Amo wanted her to wear them.
She was sitting very close to the door, and when she lowered her head, she felt a gust of wind blowing in her ears, it seemed that someone had pushed the door in, and then Yu Shitian's voice rang in surprise in the distance: "Brother! Here too!"
She seemed to be waiting until the bill was paid, and the little girl was in a good mood.
Bai Xunyin wondered jokingly in his heart, raising his head to see what Yu Shitian was talking about from time to time, but in fact, what his brother was really dependent on in his heart was'the true face of Lushan', but the moment she lifted her eyes, she was teased. His pupils froze in his eye sockets.
Bai Xunyin thought that after returning to Lin Lan, he might encounter Yu Luoyin, but in such a big city, every street and every lane would be missed in a flash, and he might never encounter it.
But she never thought that she would meet Yu Luoyin at this time and place.
I never thought that he was the elder brother Yu Shitian was talking about.
