She was wearing a loose military training uniform, but she still had a slender and tall figure. Her slightly curly long hair was casually pulled into a bun, and a few strands of fine hair fell down on her forehead.
The light in the store reflected on her face, her skin was clear and fair.
The bridge of the nose is straight, the corners of the lips are slightly pursed, and the chin is pointed.
Especially those peach blossom eyes, clear and clean.
Shen Zhijin was stunned on the spot.
In an instant, there seemed to be countless pictures pouring out of my mind, but it seemed to be blank.
It seems to be trapped in a vacuum, where all the air is sucked out, and even breathing becomes a luxury.
Every touch of color is difficult to distinguish, and finally becomes a chaotic black and white, blurred into a ball.
Ning Li looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her with some surprise.
He looks about thirty years old, handsome and elegant, gentle and pure.
And, it looks familiar.
She searched in her mind for a while, and finally found a name.
"Mr. Shen?"
The girl's clear and melodious voice rang out, smashing the thin barrier with ease, and it was torn apart.
Abundant oxygen scrambled in to fill the void, and for some reason, it became even more chaotic.
Shen Zhijin returned to his rationality, and his spirit fell to the ground.
He looked at Ning Li, frowning slightly.
Seeing his reaction, Ning Li confirmed her guess.
The corners of her lips raised slightly, revealing a faint smile:
"Mr. Shen, hello, I'm Ning Li."
Ning Li.
Shen Zhijin certainly remembered this name.
Xu Yin is full of praise for his physical genius.
He had only recently corrected her thesis.
Oh, by the way, Xu Yin mentioned that she is a freshman in the Department of Astronomy of Xijing University this year.
Shen Zhijin closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, all the waves in his eyes had calmed down.
He nodded slightly.
"Hello."
Ning Li knew that Shen Zhijin was going back to China, and she had heard that she had seen him in the museum before, so she also wanted to meet the real person.
After all, he is a top figure standing at the pinnacle of the physics world.
I thought I would have to wait until the school celebration ceremony, but I didn't expect to see it today, and it was still on such an occasion.
It's a coincidence.
"Vice Principal Shen, your peach tea."
The clerk's little girl obviously knew Shen Zhijin, with a warm and enthusiastic smile, and handed over a cup of freshly made peach tea.
Shen Zhijin is the vice president of Xijing University. Although he only spends half a year in China, he is very famous. With such a handsome and elegant face, he has always been a legend in the school and is very popular. Also very high.
Shen Zhijin's eyes fell on the cup of peach tea, but he didn't answer it, but looked at Ning Li instead.
"Your tea."
After all, Ning Li came first.
His voice was clear and his tone was calm and indifferent.
Ning Li thought, this appearance is more in line with the previous imagination of this big guy.
She looked at the clerk girl:
"Pack it, thank you."
The clerk was a little embarrassed. Seeing that Ning Li and Shen Zhijin didn't care, she quickly responded, took a bag from the side, packed it, and handed it over.
Ning Li took it.
At this time, the second cup is also good.
The clerk handed it to Shen Zhijin.
Shen Zhijin raised his hand.
His hands were slender and fair, and he wore a watch on his left wrist.
Ning Li glanced casually across the watch, and suddenly froze.
It was a silver mechanical watch.
Ning Li knows this brand, it's not cheap.
However, Shen Zhijin's watch seems to be quite old.
What's more - the hands on the dial are stationary.
Ning Li was slightly surprised, and looked up at him again.
Shen Zhijin. Actually carrying a broken watch
With his status, even if he changed to a more expensive one, it would be no problem at all. At worst, it would be okay to repair it, right
how
But this is Shen Zhijin's private matter after all, and she shouldn't ask about it.
She quickly looked away, and said to Shen Zhijin:
"Then Teacher Shen, I'll go first."
Shen Zhijin said "hmm".
Ning Li turned to leave, and was about to push the door out when she was suddenly stopped again.
"etc."
Ning Li turned her head.
Shen Zhijin's eyes fell on her hands.
"You didn't have a straw."
Ning Li looked down, and sure enough, she didn't put it in the bag.
The clerk Xiaomei realized her mistake and apologized repeatedly.
"Ah, sorry sorry!"
Ning Li shook her head, then went back and took a straw and put it in the bag.
Shen Zhijin took the cup of peach tea and prepared to leave.
The decoration of this store is very romantic and girly, and even the cups are pink and tender.
A person like Shen Zhijin can be seen as clean and upright at first glance, and his painting style is very different from this cup.
Ning Li caught a glimpse of this scene from the corner of her eye, and inexplicably remembered Shen Zhijin's particularly soft and cute email receipt.
The corners of her lips curved.
Shen Zhijin is at the front, Ning Li is at the back.
He was going to go straight away, but he remembered something, he paused, and opened the door, letting Ning Li go first.
Ning Li didn't expect this boss to be so... approachable
She thanked:
"Thank you, Teacher Shen."
Shen Zhijin looked indifferent.
"No thanks."
Ning Li smiled and said:
"And the matter of the previous paper, thank you too."
Shen Zhijin became the youngest doctoral supervisor at Xijing University at the age of 21.
There are countless people who want to be mentored by him, but his threshold for accepting students is very high.
It is indeed very rare for this paper to have his own revision and guidance.
Ning Li had written a special thank you letter before, but since they met now, of course it would be better to say it again to show sincerity.
Shen Zhijin's calm expression finally loosened a bit.
He said:
"It's you who is good enough."
If Xu Yin and the others heard these words, their jaws would probably drop in shock.
Because Shen Zhijin really seldom praises others.
He was an absolute top-notch physics genius, and such people tend to be arrogant and conceited.
This is impossible, because their thinking is indeed in another dimension, and it is difficult for ordinary people to reach it even if they spend their entire lives.
Shen Zhijin is notoriously rigorous academically, even harsh.
Therefore, it is even more difficult to get a word of praise from him.
Now, with a paper that has not even been officially published, Ning Li has received such affirmation from him, which is enough to show his appreciation for Ning Li.
Of course Ning Li also understands this.
The corners of her lips were smiling brightly, with dimples:
"Thank you, Teacher Shen."
Shen Zhijin's eyes fixed on her face for a moment, he nodded his chin, then turned and left.
Ning Li went in another direction.
After walking a few steps, the phone rang behind him, and Shen Zhijin paused slightly.
Then, the little girl seemed to answer the phone.
"Hello?"
It was indeed a completely different voice from the memory.
Shen Zhijin lowered his head slightly, looking at the peach tea in his hand.
The footsteps gradually moved away, and even the voice that brought her to speak drifted away.
Shen Zhijin stood there for a while, his palms tightened slightly.
After a long time, he raised his head with an exceptionally calm expression.
He walked forward, his tall and clear figure gradually sank into the darkness.
The rich peach fragrance spreads in the air.
Like I've done countless times over the years.
His shoulders are straight and all is well.
