At the end of August, Xijing University.
The end of summer in the capital is always extremely hot, the blazing sun shines through the lush branches and leaves, and casts bright spots on the tree-lined roads.
The cicadas chirped and neighed with a long tail, as if to prolong this boring time infinitely.
The air conditioner in the principal's office was blowing cold air, covering her delicate and fair skin with a faint coolness.
Beside him, Gu Ci and Zhang Botang, the president of Xijing University, were having final discussions on the donation of the library by Gu's family for this Xijing University celebration.
The Gu family is the number one school in Hong Kong City, and Xijing University is a top university in China.
This donation is a good thing for both parties.
We had a good time talking.
Zhang Botang stood up, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile:
"Mr. Gu cares about education and is generous and benevolent. Once again, on behalf of all the teachers and students of Xijing University, I would like to thank Mr. Gu."
"Principal Zhang is polite. Gu is just doing his best, and it's not worth mentioning."
Gu Ci shook his hand politely.
However, after all, he is a powerful figure in the Hong Kong city who can take both black and white. He has been ups and downs in Vanity Fair for many years. Even if he just stands there, this person in charge of the Gu family still has a strong aura around him, which makes people feel awe unconsciously. .
Zhang Botang laughed and said:
"As for the donation ceremony and some follow-up arrangements, Mr. Gu can move to the next meeting room for a more detailed understanding."
Gu Ci was about to nod his head, but suddenly thought of something, and turned his head to look at the girl sitting not far away.
She is sitting upright, her posture is elegant and generous, but...
In a daze.
She has never been interested in these things, and always feels sleepy when she listens to them.
It's a great honor for him to be able to persist until now.
Gu Ci smiled and said:
"Yinyin."
Gu Tingyin suddenly came back to her senses, her eyes focused, and her dark and round almond eyes looked over:
"dad?"
Gu Ci said:
"I still have something to discuss with your Uncle Zhang later, you can rest here for a while."
This is an initiative to give her a vacation.
"Thank you dad!"
Gu Tingyin's eyes were bright, she nodded obediently, and remembered something,
"By the way, this is the first time for me to come to Xijing University, can I go shopping?"
Gu Ci glanced at the scorching weather outside, but didn't immediately agree.
Zhang Botang laughed and said:
"If Ms. Gu is interested, why don't I find someone to show you around?"
Gu Tingyin's eyes curled up:
"Thank you Uncle Zhang, but no need! I can go by myself!"
Zhang Botang was taken aback.
She said, winking at Gu Ci again.
"Father, can I go to sketch?"
Gu Ci knew that she was just playing for fun, but he couldn't refuse her request, so he nodded.
"Okay, but take your time."
He looked at Zhang Botang again, with a smile on his face:
"The first draft of the library design was written by Yin Yin. For this reason, she has read a lot of architectural materials of Xijing University. Although it is the first time to come here, she is quite familiar with it."
Between words, do not conceal love.
Zhang Botang's eyes showed surprise:
"I see."
He had seen the design draft, which was excellent and novel.
"I'm still thinking, I don't know which designer that manuscript came from, but I didn't expect it to be Ms. Gu. I only heard that Ms. Gu is good at traditional Chinese painting, but I didn't expect that she is also quite talented in architectural design."
Gu Ci smiled and said:
"Principal Zhang is absurd."
Even though he said so, it is obvious that Gu Ci is the most useful when he praises Gu Tingyin.
I've heard that the only jewel in the Gu family's palm is loved a long time ago, but seeing her today is the real experience.
At this time, Xijing University has not started school yet, and there are not many people on campus, so Gu Ci complied with her wishes.
"Go."
Gu Tingyin picked up the drawing board:
"Thank you dad!"
…
The weather in the capital city and the port city is different. Although both are scorching summers, the port city is relatively more humid and pleasant due to its proximity to the sea.
But at the end of summer in the capital city, it was extremely hot, without even a breath of wind.
However, the freshness of being a newcomer occupies everything. Gu Tingyin walked alone in the quiet campus, looking at the long-standing buildings that he had only seen in books and photos before, and it was quite interesting.
When she came to a T-junction, she glanced at the signpost at the intersection.
"Wenxi Road... should go left..."
She murmured softly, and was about to go left.
However, at this moment, she inadvertently glanced to the right, and a thin and tall young figure suddenly broke into her eyes just like that.
She suddenly froze in place.
It was a boy who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, handsome and clean, cold and detached.
His expression was calm, with an extremely pure youthful air in his eyes, but for some reason, he showed a bit of indifference and indifference.
The mottled light and shadow on the boulevard fell on him, bright and dark.
Time and space seem to be static, but he is the only flowing ink.
She has seen countless art exhibitions and painted countless paintings, but nothing like the boy she saw at this moment, that look.
He seemed to have noticed something, raised his eyelids slightly, and looked over.
His eyes were as dark as ink, calm and sparse.
At this moment, Gu Tingyin suddenly felt that wherever he looked, even the scorching sun seemed to be covered with a layer of coolness.
Her heart beat fast.
Then, she felt the wind blowing past her ears, blowing her hair.
…
Shen Zhijin just came back from Baicheng today.
Fei Nuo's laboratory is going to prepare a branch in the capital. As the only Chinese, he is the most suitable person in charge, so he returned to China with his mentor.
Today I came to Xijing University to deliver materials.
However, before he reached the courtyard, he was stopped by someone.
"classmate!"
The girl's red skirt fluttered, and her slightly curly long hair curled up, as if she was depicting the shape of the wind.
She stood still in front of him, her almond eyes were black and round, and when she looked over, her eyes were as bright as stars.
"Student, did you come to report in advance?"
The sun fell on her smiling face, her skin was fair and clear, and the dimples at the corners of her lips were faintly visible.
It seemed to be brighter than the sun, making people feel hot.
Shen Zhijin's eyes moved slightly, and he looked away calmly, looking down at the suitcase in his hand.
—The contents here are all precious documents and experimental records of Fei Nuo's laboratory.
His lips moved slightly, and just as he was about to speak, the girl opposite said enthusiastically:
"Where are you going? I'm familiar with this place, I can take you there!"
Shen Zhijin, who had been in Xijing University for three full years, was silent for a moment.
However, this moment of silence, in Gu Tingyin's view, changed its taste.
This is... Excuse me
She hurriedly said:
"Student, don't be afraid to trouble me! The Xijing University campus is huge, and if you are not careful, you will get lost. I just happen to be free right now! Are you going to the dormitory?"
Shen Zhijin paused, and finally said:
"Courtyard."
The boy's voice was as cold as a jade stone.
Gu Tingyin's ears went soft, and she quickly regained her senses.
Museum
"It turns out that you are a freshman in the academy!"
She marveled.
She didn't know anything about all science and engineering subjects, so when she heard that the other party was from the Academy of Physics, she immediately adored her.
"awesome!"
Shen Zhijin: "..."
He has heard similar praise countless times since he was a child, but this is the first time, so... embarrassingly subtle.
Gu Tingyin quickly reviewed the map of Xijing University and the buildings in the museum in her mind.
Her red lips are curved, her eyes are like crescent moons:
"Then, come with me!"
…
"Student, why did you come to report so early? The registration office doesn't seem to be set up yet! But it's good to come early. You can take advantage of the lack of people and go shopping here in advance!"
"You must be very smart for studying physics! Is the score line of the Physics Institute the highest in Xijing University? Your college entrance examination scores must be very good!"
"Xijing University is good at everything, but the campus is too big, and it takes 20 minutes to walk from here to the Institute of Physics..."
"But the scenery here is very good! In addition to the museum, there are several other places, you can go to see them later!"
Gu Tingyin walked side by side with him.
She found that he didn't talk much, but that was fine, and when he spoke, her heart beat uncontrollably.
Also, it's better to walk together quietly like this.
He didn't answer those questions very much, only occasionally returning a single syllable, but Gu Tingyin didn't particularly care.
Where did she have the heart to think about those.
At a crossroads, Shen Zhijin lifted his long legs and was about to walk to the right.
Then he saw Gu Tingyin turning to the left.
Shen Zhijin paused.
Gu Tingyin turned around with a surprised expression:
"Student, why don't you go? We're going on this road, and we're almost at the Museum of Fine Arts!"
Shen Zhijin: "..."
His eyes fell on her face.
She waved at him:
"Come on!"
After a while, he raised his heels and followed.
…
Gu Tingyin discovered that Xijing University is really big.
I didn't think much of it when I looked at the map before, but walking like this is really terrible.
Moreover, there are too many roads and paths intersecting with each other!
As she walked, she looked to both sides and couldn't help muttering in her heart.
its not right.
It's been more than half an hour, why haven't I arrived at the museum...
Afraid that Shen Zhijin would be in a hurry, she still did not forget to comfort her:
"Well, classmate, don't worry, it's almost there, it's almost there!"
Shen Zhijin paused for a moment, looked at the crystal clear beads of sweat emerging from the tip of her upturned nose, and her blushing cheeks from the sun, and finally responded in a low voice:
"Um."
Gu Tingyin was even more embarrassed.
People are still dragging suitcases!
She really wanted to turn out the map, but meeting the other's quiet black eyes, she really couldn't do it.
How embarrassing!
The two walked for a while.
She glanced at him sideways and asked in a low voice:
"Student, you... are you tired?"
Her feet are so sore!
Shen Zhijin looked at her.
"Somewhat."
She hurriedly said:
"Then, let's take a break first?"
"Um."
Gu Tingyin breathed a sigh of relief.
She points to the bench next to her:
"Then, that classmate, sit down!"
Shen Zhijin didn't move, his eyes fell behind her.
Gu Tingyin was about to persuade her again when she suddenly heard a voice behind her.
"Brother?"
Gu Tingyin looked back strangely, and saw a boy in his early twenties greeting them.
He had a surprised and polite look on his face.
No, not them.
This sentence, brother, is shouting——
The boy's gaze swept across Gu Tingyin's face, a flash of astonishment flashed across his face, and he quickly looked at Shen Zhijin, jokingly said:
"Senior Brother Zhijin, Professor Su is in a hurry. He said you were supposed to arrive at 3:30, but now it's 4:00. This is the first time you're late. What's the delay?"
"Isn't it possible that after a year of PhD study abroad, I don't even know the way to my alma mater when I come back?"
Gu Tingyin's mind went blank for a moment!
Shen Zhijin's eyes fell on the girl in front of him.
She froze all over, and the tips of her ears were red.
He said quietly:
"Well, there's something wrong."
After a pause, he calmly said:
"Bring the new school girl around the school."
After thinking about it carefully, I can’t finish writing a few chapters of the story of the eldest brother, and it’s a bit sudden to add his part suddenly. After all, Ms. Ji has never appeared in the text, so after careful consideration, I decided not to put the line of the eldest brother. Wrote the episode.
Father Shen has a few articles left, and then it's almost done.
For the eldest brother, he hesitated whether to start a short story.
