Xin Zhai

"I'm going..." Xiao Meng patted Ye Li on the shoulder, turned and walked out the door.

Tong Yan looked up and saw Ye Li lowering his eyes, glancing at him from above, with a smile on his lips.He wanted to explain Xiao Meng's last few sentences just now, but felt that firstly, it was inconvenient to be in the office, and secondly, it was a bit deliberate, as if he really wanted to hide something on purpose.

He knows Ye Li's temper, and everything else is fine, as long as it involves Cheng Mingming, it is very dangerous.Even though it looked like he didn't care, he had already accounted for it in his heart.Cheng Mingming was one of the reasons why he went to Australia back then.

How it is now, according to Xiao Meng, it seems that he has several exes.

Thinking of this Tong Yan, I feel that I have to explain, but it is definitely not now.

"Yesterday, Teacher Zhou Jing came to me. She wanted to develop a new electrostatic testing system and asked me if I was interested."

Tong Yan was thinking about it here, but he didn't expect Ye Li to speak first, it was still business.

"Oh." Tong Yan's first reaction was that Zhou Jing was indeed a good person this time, and he was the one who dug the wall.

"Does she have a score? Give me money?"

"Ms. Zhou said that now I have some ideas. The key thing is that the doctoral students in their department are working on it, but there is a shortage of manpower."

Tong Yan let out a "hum" and said, "I'd like to ask you to do some tedious work that no one wants to do." Seeing Ye Li lowering his head and not speaking, he seemed to want to go.

Tong Yan was also hesitant to let Ye Li join his project this semester.It is estimated that people around him will know about the matter between him and Ye Li sooner or later.If you still want to be together every day like before, there may be some problems.

He didn't think about when and to what extent the relationship between the two would be made public, and he probably just let nature take its course.But what he cares more about is how to get along with Ye Li and Ye Li's future development.

Thinking of this Tong Yan, it would be good to go to Zhou Jing's to learn something.Who doesn't start with the simplest?As far as ordering the students, I am the one who finds Ye Li to do coolies all day long.

"Go if you want." Tong Yan said, "Do something meaningful, and don't keep working for nothing."

Ye Li smiled: "How can there be so many meaningful things? If you don't have money, you can't make money?"

"It has to be interesting if it's meaningless!" Tong Yan said with a sullen face, "If you don't have money, I'll give it to you. If you make money now, it's twice the result with half the effort."

"Understood!" Ye Li responded, then paused and closed his mouth.

The two grew up in different environments and have a big age difference. They have always had differences on the issue of money.Tong Yan wanted to say a few more words, thinking that what Xiao Meng said just now probably planted a bomb for him, so he also swallowed the words.

The two were silent for a while.Ye Li said, "It's okay, I'm leaving."

Tong Yan felt that the atmosphere couldn't be adjusted for a while, so he just let out a "hmm" and watched him go out.

As soon as Ye Li left, another senior student came to him.Tong Yan went with him to the laboratory to check the circuit board for almost two hours.

After finishing his work, he returned to the office, picked up his mobile phone and sent Ye Li a WeChat message.

"I want to see you, I have something to tell you."

After sending, he read the email while waiting for a reply, and read all the unread emails of the day.Ye Li's news finally arrived.

"Why didn't you say it just now?"

Tong Yan thought for a while and replied, "I can't say it in the office."

He finished sending this sentence, and then typed another sentence: "Come and find me in my dormitory." After thinking about it, he added two words and a punctuation: "Is that okay?"

He stared at this sentence for a long time, somehow still felt that it was inappropriate, and deleted it word by word.

He weighed his words carefully, hesitating, he had never worked so hard to write a thesis, and he didn't expect the news from Ye Li to come.

"See you at Xicao at 06:30 in the afternoon."

He came out of the department hall at six o'clock, and arrived at Xicao at a quarter past six.This is the busiest time on the playground.Young boys and girls gather here for jogging, walking and chatting, playing basketball, and promoting events.In the middle are two teams playing basketball, and the boys are wearing vests, sweating profusely.The girl's cheering sound came along with the music from the speakers, and Tong Yan stood outside the runway, feeling a little out of place.

He stood on the curb, looked around the runway, and finally saw Ye Li at the corner on the opposite side.Together with eight or nine students, he talked for a while, then went to the track and started running again.Several people, one after another, ran fast on the straight, slowed down as soon as they entered the corner, and accelerated again on the next straight.These young people take the boring sport of running so seriously.

Tong Yan watched it for 10 minutes on the edge of the playground.It wasn't until they ran a few laps at variable speeds that they returned to the corner to communicate.

A few of them took their things and left. Ye Li was probably exhausted. He sat on the ground, hugged his knees, and talked with the other two people with his head up.

Tong Yan could go over now, but he didn't want to.He felt that Ye Li was not what he is now.Part of him can only be shown with his peers, and he can only stand at a distance and wait at this time.

He simply sat down on the table next to the flower bed, looked at his watch, it was [-]:[-], half of Xi Cao was illuminated by the sun, and the auditorium in the distance was mixed with light and dark.

Ye Li talked and laughed with those two for a while, then stood up, looked around, and saw Tong Yan sitting on the other side of the playground.

While talking, he picked up his schoolbag and walked towards the two of them.

One of the two was a student from Lin Li's class, and he waved to him.Tong Yan nodded to him.

Ye Li bid farewell to the two of them, walked a few steps, and stood in front of Tong Yan.

"When did you come here? I didn't even see you." Ye Li's breathing was still a little messy, it seemed that he had been running hard just now.

Tong Yan looked up and said, "I just came."

Seeing that he didn't intend to get up, Ye Li also sat down beside him, straightened his legs, put his hands behind his back, and sat down to rest.

He wore a pair of sports socks, his clean ankle bones were exposed from the white socks, his calves were long and slender, and his thigh muscles were strong and powerful.The legs are placed straight together, which is a standard figure of human aesthetics.

"What do you want to say to me?"

Ye Li looked up at the sky for a while, then suddenly turned around and asked.

At this time, the sun set behind the building on one side, and the surroundings became dark, and the early spring breeze was mixed with the fragrance of magnolia flowers.

"I want to say..." Tong Yan's eyes moved to Ye Li's eyes, "I like you."

Ye Li blinked, lowered his head, curled up his legs, didn't know what to say, and fiddled with his shoelaces a few times.

He realized that this seemed to be the first time his teacher said he liked him, expressing his love carefully like peers falling in love.

Ye Li put his head and arms on his knees, closed his eyes, he heard the sound of waves in the distance, and remembered the first day he came here to report, the first time he saw the sea, and the first time he saw Tong Yan.

Drunken by the memories and aroma, he tilted his head, revealing a crooked eye, and smiled at Tong Yan in a dazed way.

Later, when it was completely dark, he felt Tong Yan leaning over and kissing the corner of his mouth.He squinted his eyes and asked inappropriately: "Who else have you told that you like you?"

Tong Yan was taken aback, and said, "I haven't told anyone else."

Ye Li said without thinking, "Liar."

Tong Yan smiled and said nothing.Ye Li squinted his eyes, and said happily: "I went to see Teacher Zhou in the afternoon, and she said that I welcome me to be her doctoral candidate!"

"Hehe." Tong Yan turned his head, pinched his ear with his hand, and said, "You can read it with whomever you want, wherever you go. As long as it is reliable, I will support you and will find a way to be with you .”

After finishing speaking, Tong Yan was silent for a moment, looked into the distance and said, "I never told you a lie."

Later, the two went to the cafeteria, Ye Li was still awake, and forced his hands into Tong Yan's pockets. At the intersection to the south of Xi Cao, he saw three or four people from Class [-] riding bicycles in front of them.

Ye Li took out his hand when those people called "Teacher Tong", and smiled blankly at those people.Later, the group of people had already ridden away, and he regretted a little, feeling that he was too reckless.
