An Accident in Broad Daylight

Xu Tangcheng threw two packs of buy one get one free Lay's potato chips into the shopping cart, and when he heard Yi Zhe's words, he forgot to take them back.

"Dropped out of school?" After being surprised, he quickly realized something was wrong, "Wait a minute, he and Cheng Xu have such a good relationship?"

"not sure."

Yi Zhe almost conveyed Zheng Yikun's words exactly, and only erased the words "primary school principal" and "your partner" on his own initiative.He watched Xu Tangcheng frowned and remained silent after these two questions, wondering if he should fill in the missing information so as not to affect Xu Tangcheng's judgment.

"What are you thinking?" He asked tentatively, reached out to the shelf by the way, grabbed the mouths of two bottles of yogurt, and picked them up.

"I think... I'm finally going to meet the legendary Zheng Yikun." Xu Tangcheng bent down slightly, and took out the yogurt that Yi Zhe had just thrown into the shopping cart, "Have you told him?"

The words were not very detailed, and Yi Zhe didn't understand at once, and immediately asked: "What did you say?"

Holding the yoghurt, Xu Tangcheng raised his index finger and thumb, pointing in reverse, and pointing at himself.

"Oh," Yi Zhe understood and explained, "No, he discovered it by himself."

Xu Tangcheng didn't show any surprise this time, he just nodded calmly, as if he was completely expected.

He is wearing a fur-lined cotton jacket today, a warm light brown color with a beige lambskin collar, which is Yi Zhe's favorite outfit.Xu Tangcheng's clothes tend to be simple and clean. The jackets are basically short and slightly loose, mainly in solid colors, mostly not gaudy, gentle and soft, just like his personality.

And after this conversation where a lot of words were hidden, Xu Tangcheng thought of something, turned his head briefly to the side of the refrigerator, and smiled.

An instant of less than a second.As if his ears automatically rejected the voices of people around him, Yi Zhe could hear the humming sound from the refrigerator clearly.

He suddenly wondered if he should buy a camera.

If he was given time, Yi Zhe felt that he could probably stare at the person in front of him for several days and nights, because in his opinion, every position of Xu Tangcheng's body was special.

For example, now, he is turning the yogurt bottle in his hand, and the white light from the refrigerator shines on his fingers. The collision of two kinds of white, mixed with a layer of water droplets formed by hot and cold, has become a very soft scene.

The fingers are prettier than others, the broken hair hangs down, and the exposed head is also cuter than others.

People's cognition is sometimes capricious and rude, and they only go on a rampage towards their sweetheart.

Thinking this way, without noticing, the corner of Yi Zhe's mouth has already lifted.Xu Tangcheng happened to look up, saw it, and asked him strangely, "What are you laughing at?"

The yogurt was put back in by Xu Tangcheng, and Yi Zhe pushed the shopping cart back and forth, rubbing the wheels on the ground to polish the smooth floor tiles.Pushing the cart back and forth, the frequency is close to that of the student days, suddenly being approached by someone I like, holding the pen nervously in the humid air, the index finger unconsciously curls up, and rubs the soft pad on the pen holder.

He didn't speak for a long time, Xu Tangcheng raised his hand to touch his arm, and asked with a smile: "Ask you, why are you laughing secretly?"

"It's nothing," Yi Zhe said, "Happy."

Inexplicable and childish.Xu Tangcheng watched him for a long time, and finally whispered: "Stupid not stupid."

After paying the bill, as usual, the two people divided the things into two bags on the seat.Yi Zhe threw a box of chocolates into Xu Tangcheng's share, and Xu Tangcheng took it out immediately: "I don't eat chocolate, and I get acne easily."

"Oh, then give it to me," Yi Zhe flipped through the bag, "I'll give you all the biscuits."

Xu Tangcheng often stayed in the laboratory for a day, and Yi Zhe thought that if he was hungry, he could eat at any time to avoid stomach upset.

The weather was fine that day, although it was winter, but after coming out of the supermarket, the sun outside broke through the cold wind, and there was no distance between people and the sky.

"Actually, I may have preconceived it myself. When you mentioned Zheng Yikun before, he always gave me the impression that he was a very..." Xu Tangcheng tilted his head and paused, "Very shrewd person. But Cheng Xu is actually very special. Simple, I always feel that he is like a child."

Yi Zhe agrees with this statement, Zheng Yikun looks out of shape, but actually has understanding in his pocket.So he nodded and agreed: "Indeed."

Afraid that Xu Tangcheng would be worried, Yi Zhe thought about it again, and added, "But he's not bad."

"I believe," Xu Tangcheng looked at Yi Zhe, "the friends you can make are probably good people."

Yi Zhe was stunned for a moment, and after walking a few more steps, he realized that this was a kind of affirmation.Turning his head to ask a few questions, he saw Xu Tangcheng rubbing his eyes.

"Did you not sleep well last night?" He asked immediately.

"Sleep well, I'll go to bed after I say good night to you, and I won't get up until eight o'clock." Xu Tangcheng opened his arms slightly to the back, and stretched indistinctly, "Maybe it's easy to get sleepy after lunch. "

"Then don't go back to the laboratory, go back to the dormitory and sleep for a while before going."

Xu Tangcheng shook his head: "The dormitory is too far away, I'm too lazy to run."

The laboratory is near the west gate of the school, and the distance between it and the dormitory is almost the maximum distance in the entire campus.

"Are you going to sleep in my dormitory?" As soon as the words were silenced, Yi Zhe immediately reflected upon being glanced at, "Forget it, it's not suitable, is it?"

Xu Tangcheng looked at him with a smile, but didn't speak.

"Then I said I would ride a bicycle to see you off, but you didn't want to."

Hearing his complaints, Xu Tangcheng couldn't help but put a hand on the shoulder next to him, and lowered the person: "You deliberately bought a car without a back seat for me?"

Yi Zhe leaned sideways towards him, and said stiffly, "I didn't mean to..."

The words of explanation were interrupted by a female voice, and two leaflets were stuffed into the hands of two people.

"Students, are you considering applying for a card? Our new package is now in a one-year discount period, you can find out." The girl holding a stack of leaflets walked backwards with their pace, while introducing the contents of the discount package.He speaks so fast that there is no chance of interruption.

Yi Zhe didn't give any response, just held the leaflet and pursed his lips to listen, but Xu Tangcheng stopped after the girl said a few words, waiting for her to finish.

About standing outside for a long time, the girl's cheeks were flushed red from the cold.She always had a very sweet smile on her face, but she had to pause her expression a few times in the middle and sniff her nose.

After she finished introducing, Xu Tangcheng smiled and nodded at her, saying that he would take a good look at it.I don't know if it was a routine procedure, but the girl rummaged twice in the blue vest with the promotional words on it, and took out two small stacks of post-it notes, saying it was a small souvenir for them.

After the two left, Xu Tangcheng took a post-it note and handed it to Yi Zhe, but Yi Zhe said, "It's in the shape of a flower."

Hearing his dislike for the shape, Xu Tangcheng wanted to put all of it in his pocket, but Yi Zhe grabbed his hand and stopped a bag, saying that he could make do with it.Xu Tangcheng didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued to look at the leaflet in his hand seriously.

Yi Zhe was surprised: "What are you going to do?"

"No, but the little girl posted it in the cold weather. Let's take a look. If you feel tempted, you can make one. 3g..." Xu Tangcheng drew a long tone, then thought of something, and turned to Yi Zhe with a smile, "You said How long will it take to replace 3g with 4g?"

"I don't know." Yi Zhe answered honestly.

China entered the 2009G era in 3. For more than a year, this concept has not been fully understood by people.

Xu Tangcheng read both the front and back of the leaflet, and then folded it neatly corner to corner, guessing: "I don't know much about this, but I always feel that 3G won't be used for a long time, and it will be soon when the 4G standard is set."

It was still a long way to the laboratory, and along the way, the two chatted intermittently about this matter.As a sophomore, Yi Zhe didn't have much experience with majors, and what he only learned came from the teachers' chats in class, so most of the time he was asking questions, and Xu Tangcheng was answering.

While chatting, Xu Tangcheng suddenly asked Yi Zhe: "Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

Yi Zhe's first reaction was naturally that idea from a long time ago.Then study, read the same major as him.

"Actually, I think standardization is quite cool in the future. You can think about it." Xu Tangcheng didn't seem to be really discussing any future development with him. His tone was slightly joking, as if he was just telling a funny story, "I Brother is working on standardization in a foreign company. Do you know that there is a 3GPP meeting? They will attend that meeting. He told me a while ago that it is held once every two months. Every time the meeting is held in a beautiful scenery In a tourist city, we went out to play after discussing and discussing.”

"so good?"

"Well, but I don't think it will be so in the future. It took so many years to formulate the 3G standard, and 4G is not. After 4G, there will be an upgrade. I guess it will become more and more difficult."

People have been sparing no effort to promote the development of technology. There are innovations every day, and there are countless choices, possibly countless. No one knows how long a leading position can last.Just like the industry giant Qualcomm, it also declared that it gave up the UMB research and development that it has always insisted on, and completely turned to LTE.It is inevitable that people will become the leaders and followers of technology at the same time, to speed up the pace, and to acquire thinking every day.

As for the meeting that may no longer be idle, and the gradually accelerating standardization process, Xu Tangcheng really hit the nail on the head.This was verified several years later.

On the night of having dinner with Zheng Yikun, Xu Tangcheng drove over there. Cheng Xu was not at school during the day, so there was only Yi Zhe in the car.The two entered the lobby one after the other, and Xu Tangcheng saw Zheng Yikun and Cheng Xu sitting by the window at a glance.However, the postures of the two individuals at the moment made him pause without noticing—Zheng Yikun leaned over with one arm on the back of the chair behind Chengxu, while Chengxu leaned towards the window. , avoid him.

Cheng Xu spotted them first, and immediately stretched his neck and waved.Zheng Yikun also turned back leisurely immediately, and he smiled this way, but his posture did not change a bit.After Yi Zhe and Xu Tangcheng sat down, Zheng Yikun turned around and sat down, greeting Xu Tangcheng.

"I don't care what Yi Zhe calls you anymore," he introduced, and after shaking hands, Zheng Yikun handed over a menu, "Brother Cheng, let's see what to eat, don't be polite to me today, order whatever you want."

Xu Tangcheng smiled, and handed the menu to Cheng Xu: "Cheng Xu has a look, I don't want to choose."

Cheng Xu quickly shook his head: "Order, I don't know how to order."

A menu was handed back and forth, Zheng Yikun simply took it and threw it to Yi Zhe: "You order."

Yi Zhe glanced at him, lowered his head, opened it, and placed it between himself and Xu Tangcheng.

When ordering food, no matter what they asked Zheng Yikun and Cheng Xu, they both answered "yes", but in Xu Tangcheng's view, the same word has different meanings.

Cheng Xu's character is like this, Zheng Yikun probably doesn't care what he eats for this meal.

It's just that after the menu was confirmed, Xu Tangcheng was about to tell the waiter to order, but Zheng Yikun suddenly reached out and intercepted the menu he was about to return to the waiter.

"I'll add another one." He flipped through the menu, smacked his lips, "Give me some steamed buns with condensed milk."

Cheng Xu on the side immediately pushed his glasses: "I don't want it."

Zheng Yikun ordered the pattern on the menu, and said to the waiter again: "Small steamed buns with condensed milk."

Xu Tangcheng sat across from Cheng Xu, a little confused by the phrase "elementary school principal" and the condensed milk steamed buns.

"No more," Cheng Xu continued to stop, "I ordered too much, I can't eat it."

"I eat."

Regardless of his protest, Zheng Yikun accepted the menu.

Xu Tangcheng glanced at Yi Zhe and met his gaze.Seeing Yi Zhe pursed his lips, hesitant to speak, Xu Tangcheng understood that Yi Zhe had concealed the title of "primary school principal" without reporting it.

Zheng Yikun is a very talkative person. When meeting Xu Tangcheng for the first time, he can naturally discover a lot of issues that can be discussed in depth with him.Several people were chatting, and Yi Zhe naturally asked Zheng Yikun about his future plans.What surprised Xu Tangcheng and Yi Zhe was that Cheng Xu didn't know that Zheng Yikun had dropped out of school.

I don't know if he was choked by the chili pepper or was too surprised, Cheng Xu suddenly started coughing violently after hearing the word "drop out", and his whole face flushed.Zheng Yikun handed him the paper while saying "Ouch", filled another cup of soy milk, and pushed it to his hand.

Cheng Xu drank half a cup before turning his head with tears in his eyes and asking, "Why did you drop out of school?"

Zheng Yikun has heard this question many times, but when Cheng Xu asked, he still calmed down and said, "I'm not supposed to study."

"My dad is a nouveau riche, with too much money to spend. The only regret in this life is that he feels that he is uneducated, so he forced me to take the A university entrance exam with a stick." He took a sip of his wine and chuckled, " He asked me to take the exam and I took the exam. Anyway, he promised me that I would pay me as much as I was admitted to A University. "

"But I may not be able to pass the exam."

Of course, this kind of practice is not mainstream. Yi Zhe and Xu Tangcheng knew about dropping out of school a long time ago, and their acceptance is relatively strong at the moment, but Cheng Xu has just been shocked by the news, and naturally a brain problem arises.

"Then won't your father tell you?"

"Why do you say me?" Cheng Xu looked at Zheng Yikun with strange and shocked eyes, but in turn, Zheng Yikun looked at Cheng Xu also full of strangeness, "I didn't tell him, and he didn't know. If I want to tell him, I will It’s not about me, he can strangle me to death.”

How can I not know?

Cheng Xu felt that something was wrong, but his train of thought suddenly stopped, and he didn't want to understand why it was wrong.Xu Tangcheng glanced at him, and asked for him: "You can still know whether you have finished your studies or not. There are records on the Internet. Also, don't you have your graduation certificate when the time comes?"

"Oh," Zheng Yikun bowed his head while laughing, "I told you that my dad is an upstart. How could he know that he can check it online? I don't even know how to check it. I guess he doesn't even know about graduation certificates and degree certificates. .Besides, I will show him when the time comes, there are so many fake certificates, can I still get a graduation certificate?”

These words startled the three people on the table, and all three pairs of eyes stared at the person who wanted to issue a false certificate.

Zheng Yikun tapped the table with his fingertips and explained to them: "As for me, I will go home on time during winter and summer vacations. When I graduate, I will show him a graduation certificate and tell him that I have found a job in Beijing. The remuneration is not bad, you said he will be able to hold on to nothing, do you suspect that I dropped out of school?"

At that time, in the world that Xu Tangcheng came into contact with, Zheng Yikun's behavior was absolutely outrageous, even if it wasn't shocking.

The nine-year compulsory education is of course a good thing, but in an era when the information horizon is not open and broad, many people are confined to a comfortable and simple growth environment. After those nine years are over and they are admitted to a good university, they will suddenly Lost on purpose.Learning becomes a habit, not an act of thought.

Xu Tangcheng didn't know what Zheng Yikun would strive for, but he was sure at that time that this person would get the life he wanted.

Although Yi Zhe was also shocked, he only figured out a very simple idea - people are different.

He didn't actually have much interest in the things that Xu Tangcheng talked with him during the day, but he could see that Xu Tangcheng was really interested in matters related to this major.If he can experience the fun, it is also the fun of Yi Zhe.So although Yi Zhe felt that what he was learning now was boring and abstract, he never thought of changing the status quo.After all, he didn't have anything very interesting either.

But Zheng Yikun is different, he is not interested, so he will not leave any retreat for himself, and he is not even willing to perfunctory his studies.
