22.

It was like this for several days in a row, Zhou Heqing left just after dawn in the morning, and would not come back until midnight.He got into the bed with the steam that was not wiped off from the shower, and before he could lie down completely, Shining grabbed his hand and said, "Good night."

If he doesn't ask anything, he doesn't say anything.

The only connection is the hands they held firmly.

In the past few days, Zhou Heqing's life has not been smooth.

The tutor's new topic has gradually entered the research stage, which requires a lot of time and energy to collect and process data.He was so busy in the studio that he couldn't even go to the hospital to deliver meals besides accompanying his mother to undergo chemotherapy.While he was worried about the experimental data, he was worried about his mother's condition, and he often wanted to split himself in half for use, but these were not the things that bothered him the most.

Two days ago, the academy assigned a list of students to study abroad, including him.

This is a good thing, the public sent out for a semester, there is no need to worry about tuition, board and lodging, and there will be additional subsidies.The visiting school is also famous, ranking among the top [-] in the world, and has many famous experts and professors in computer, mathematics, and finance.

Standing in front of the bulletin board downstairs of the research institute, looking at his name, he felt a burst of sadness and helplessness.

In the past, he saw the seniors and sisters dragging their suitcases out of the doctoral building with expressions of satisfaction or worry on their faces, and it would be a lie to say that they were not envious.Now it's finally my turn, but I don't have the time, energy, way, or ability to go. It's a pity to say it's not a pity, but it's a lie.

After two days of suffering, Zhou Heqing felt heavy in his heart. Every time a classmate congratulated him, a stone was placed on his heart, making him unable to breathe.

He knocked on the door of the tutor's office and explained his purpose to the tutor.

Professor Zhang is over 50 this year, and will retire in a few years, so he loves the students very much.Hearing Zhou Heqing's refusal to go, he immediately shouted with a tiger's face: "Nonsense!"

He stood up and walked around the office with his hands behind his back, obviously very angry at this disciple who didn't seek to make progress: "Do you know how many people in the courtyard are jealous of this opportunity, let alone whether they can take turns next time?" When it comes to you, even next time you may not go to this school, you just give up so easily?"

Zhou Heqing stood beside the table with downcast eyebrows, without saying a word or showing emotion, with the same expression from beginning to end.

Professor Zhang came over and asked him kindly, "Are you really not going?"

Zhou Heqing raised his head. He felt his throat was dry and hoarse. Every time he swallowed, it was like swallowing a needle. It was so painful and astringent that he couldn't speak a word, so he nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Professor Zhang threw the application form on the table and pointed at Zhou Heqing's nose: "I'll ask you one last time, are you going or not."

Zhou Heqing: "I'm sorry...professor."

He was kicked out of the office by Professor Zhang and stood at the door, momentarily at a loss.He sighed, then slowly let go of his clenched fists, and walked towards the research room.

Besides, Xu Shanliang has been thrown into the cold palace these days because he is bored. Any fool can tell that Zhou Heqing is not in a good mood.He was still surprised to hear Mr. Zhou's name was on the list of visiting students sent by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but after thinking about Zhou Heqing's performance these past few days, he knew that Zhou Heqing was determined not to go this time. up.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help being a little happy, but thinking of Zhou Heqing's boredom and discomfort, he decided not to harass him anymore, but secretly held his hand while sleeping at night, and the two of them had a rare few days of peaceful life.

When Zhao Dong called him, he was reading the high math, but he didn't pay attention to it, flipping through it casually without even taking a pen.With a brain corroded by English and eating, drinking and having fun all year round, it takes half a day to look at a theoretical concept, let alone the subsequent calculations.

He pulled out the cell phone from the crack of the sofa, told himself for the thousand and one time that it might be Zhou Heqing, and realized for the thousand and one time that it was not Zhou Heqing.He leaned on the sofa pillow, flipped through a page of the book, put a slice of bread in his mouth, and asked inarticulately, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Dongdao: "The group of scumbags we met at the barbecue last time met again today. I have already called Duan Hai and the others. Come quickly, at the east gate of the school."

Shining slowly swallowed the slice of bread in his mouth, before he said, "Isn't the matter from last time resolved, and they're making trouble again?"

Zhao Dongdao: "No, I met by chance, they didn't see me, come quickly."

Shining put the slice of bread he took a bite out of back on the dinner plate, and he sat up: "Then it's over, don't care what they do, just be strangers."

Zhao Dong said angrily: "That's not acceptable. They were the ones who scolded us first when they drank that day. Why should we be the ones who suffer? I must beat them up to vent my anger. Don't worry, if you put on a sack and beat them up, you won't be caught again." gone."

Shan Liang hurriedly said: "Don't, forget it, you..." He was interrupted by Zhao Dong before he finished speaking: "Just say whether you will come or not."

Shining hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth: "No."

He didn't want to disappoint Zhou Heqing because of fights and troubles.

Zhao Dong let out a "tss" and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Shanliang didn't have the heart to read any more. He took a little bird food and went to the French window to tease the pigeons that would fly from nowhere. He threw it away without interest, and then sat back on the sofa in a daze.

From his wallet, he found the note Huang Wenyu handed him, which contained Zhou's mother's address and the address of the hospital where he often went for treatment.

I heard that Zhou Heqing didn't have much time to see Zhou's mother recently.

He thought about it left and right, stood up, changed his clothes, put on a peaked cap again, stuffed all his yellow hair in, took the keys and mobile phone and ran away.

The house that Zhou Heqing rented to his mother is not too far from Kangcheng Hospital. It takes 15 minutes to walk there. There is a large park with a lake and rockery next to it. Many old men and women dance and sing in it.An erhu, a pavilion, babbling and singing some little songs, just standing by and listening to it makes people feel good.

If you are in a good mood, your condition will naturally be under control.

Shining was wearing white T jeans and a black peaked cap, sneaking back and forth under the rented building.Because there are many winding alleys in the old houses, the house numbers are jumbled and crowded together, which is really difficult to identify.

In his left hand he held the ginseng chicken soup made in a five-star hotel, and in his right hand he carried a bag of fruit and some messy supplements.If he hadn't carried something in his hand, he might have been regarded as a thief.

When Zhou's mother came back from a stroll in the park, she saw such a young man sneaking around outside the building. She was a little suspicious at first, but she didn't make a sound. She went back to her house and opened the door, only to see the young man The man rushed forward with a stride, and was really startled.

"Are you Aunt Zhou?" Shining raised his head, with a warm smile on his face, "I am a student of Mr. Zhou Heqing. Mr. Zhou is very busy recently and I don't have time to visit you, so I just bought some fruit. It's a little ginseng soup..."

"Ah, that's it, come in and sit down." Mother Zhou opened the door, "Come on, come in quickly..."

Shining walked a step further and put all the things on the coffee table in the living room, and looked around: "Auntie, I won't go in. There is still something to do at school. I put the things here for you. I'm going first."

"Hey, little classmate, why are you in a hurry to leave? Look at you running all the way here, drink some water before you leave." Mother Zhou gave the order "Stop and don't leave." Handing over a cup of hot tea, she forced Shining to sit down.

Shining blew on the hot tea, scalding his tongue so smartly, Zhou's mother smiled: "Let's go after drinking."

She probably hadn't talked to anyone for a long time, and a pretty boy suddenly appeared, so she couldn't help chatting with him, presumably because she missed her son, and kept Zhou Heqing in three words.

First ask what He Qing is busy with on weekdays.

Shining doesn't understand, talking nonsense, and Zhou's mother doesn't understand even more, she should be really busy.

Let me ask you how things are in your school cafeteria.

Shining never ate in the school cafeteria, so he replied: "It should be okay..." He had an idea, "I heard that Mr. Zhou's mentor is very good, and he often cooks for them. They should eat very well in the laboratory. good."

Finally, I asked Zhou Heqing if there were any girls looking for him at school.

Shining thought, that shouldn't be the case, if he dared, I would... I would hang myself by crying, making trouble, and hanging myself.

He hypocritically said: "It seems not. Mr. Zhou has always focused on academics, and he may not have any plans in this regard. Besides, he is such an old man, so don't worry about it, Auntie."

They chatted for a while, Shining finished drinking the hot tea and stood up, "Auntie, I really have something to do at school, I'll come to see you next time." After he finished speaking, he took a step forward with his long legs, lowered his head and hurriedly walked out, as if Behind is a beast.

Xu Shanliang, who left the unit building, was like a deflated puffer fish, without even the strength to bluff, leaning against the wall, blushing and letting out a long sigh of relief.From childhood to adulthood, he really didn't know how to get along with his elders, especially middle-aged women who were about his mother's age.If you are not careful when speaking, you will shrink back, and then you will stutter non-stop, with a flushed face, you must force yourself to show courage.

When his courage was exhausted, he could only run away in despair.

Xu Shanliang stood up, adjusted the position of the peaked cap, recalled his conversation and behavior just now, felt that he could still give himself full marks, and left contentedly.

Halfway on the way, he hesitated for a while, sighed again, took off his hat and raked his hair casually, with the usual disdainful expression on his face, stopped the car and went straight to the east gate of the school.
