Chapter 3 Xiaoman
The next day Cheng Xuan went to knock on Gu Huaiyuan's door early in the morning, but Gu Huaiyuan looked annoyed.
"It's only five o'clock."
"Sorry." Cheng Xuan looked apologetic.
"Forget it, come in." Gu Huaiyuan rubbed his messy hair, yawned and walked barefoot to the bedroom and said, "Bake the bread at six o'clock, then call me."
"Ah... good! I'm really sorry!" Cheng Xuantong said with a blushing face.
Looking around, there were still books. There was a book of advanced mathematics spread out on the coffee table, with some notes on it. It turned out that Gu Huaiyuan was preparing for the lesson last night.Cheng Xuan took a mathematics magazine lightly and sat on the sofa to read it.Looking at it, he suddenly saw a familiar name, Cheng Xuan took a closer look, it was really Gu Huaiyuan!Gu Huaiyuan actually published a paper in a famous mathematics journal, and there was a brief introduction of Gu Huaiyuan on it—30 years old, a rising star in the Chinese mathematics field, the youngest member of the Chinese Mathematical Research Association, and a winner of an international mathematics award... The current professor of mathematics at Ji University... Cheng Xuan really couldn't believe his eyes, he hurriedly read Gu Huaiyuan's article carefully.After reading it, Cheng Xuan was convinced that the author was Gu Huaiyuan, and the lines between the lines were full of Gu Huaiyuan's unique rigor and love for mathematics research.Whenever Gu Huaiyuan was holding a pen and thinking about math problems, Cheng Xuan always felt that there was a sea in Gu Huaiyuan's body at that time, calm and deep, as if shining with the light of the sea... Cheng Xuan was immersed in admiration for Gu Huaiyuan It was almost six o'clock when he looked up from the magazine.Cheng Xuan said "ah", hurriedly went to bake bread, and then went to wake Gu Huaiyuan to get up.
Gu Huaiyuan's door was open, Cheng Xuan took off his shoes, stepped on the tatami, went in and whispered, "Get up!" Gu Huaiyuan didn't respond, his defenseless sleeping face was half covered by the quilt.Cheng Xuan shook his shoulders, and raised his voice slightly: "Huaiyuan, get up!" This time Gu Huaiyuan finally reacted, he opened his eyes slightly, saw that it was Cheng Xuan, turned over again, and said hoarsely: " 5 minutes." Then it stopped moving again.
Cheng Xuan didn't expect that he would stay in bed with such a halo, Cheng Xuan ran to the other side of the bed and said, "No, I'll be late!" Seeing that he still didn't respond, Cheng Xuan began to shake his shoulders violently Suddenly, Gu Huaiyuan reached out and grabbed Cheng Xuan's arm, and pulled it hard. Cheng Xuan only saw the corner of the quilt flying up, and he was pulled into the quilt by Gu Huaiyuan.Cheng Xuan was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. He heard Gu Huaiyuan say on top of his head, "Just 5 minutes."
Cheng Xuan's mind was blank, Cheng Xuan could feel the warmth of Gu Huaiyuan's body through his clothes, and his breath filled Cheng Xuan's nose, it was a faint warm jasmine fragrance.Cheng Xuan remembered that the shower gel Gu Huaiyuan used was always scented with jasmine... Cheng Xuan began to feel dizzy...
Cheng Xuan gently pushed Gu Huaiyuan's chest, and said: "Get up, you... don't stay up late at night, go to bed early, you can get up early the next day... Also, the slices of bread have been baked and will cool down later Yes." Seeing that Gu Huaiyuan was ignoring him, Cheng Xuan squirmed upwards, then supported his arms, straightened his upper body to look at Gu Huaiyuan's face, and continued to wake him up.
Finally, Gu Huaiyuan sat at the dining table with disheveled hair, biting into bread.Cheng Xuan looked at his watch, it was already 06:30.I can't believe it, Gu Huaiyuan stayed in bed for half an hour, I really don't know what he was like when he was alone.
Gu Huaiyuan drove the car very fast, and there was not much traffic at this time.Cheng Xuan was so happy that he could finally see Ji Da with his own eyes.Does the library there have books that Cheng Xuan can't finish reading in his lifetime?Are the students there talented and full of knowledge?The teachers there...are they all as good as Gu Huaiyuan?
"I usually set the alarm clock half an hour earlier, so it's not too late." Gu Huaiyuan said suddenly.
"Ah?" Cheng Xuan didn't respond for a while.
"I don't stay in bed." Gu Huaiyuan looked serious.
Cheng Xuan understood that Gu Huaiyuan was trying to save his face.Cheng Xuan smiled and said, "Got it." Cheng Xuan discovered another secret of Gu Huaiyuan: saving face.
As the car drove into the campus slowly, Cheng Xuan rolled down the window and looked at the vast campus in admiration.The majestic teaching buildings and the well-designed garden landscape opened Cheng Xuan's eyes.
"The building that looks like a cube from this angle is the Ji University Library. When we get to its front, it will become a triangular prism." Gu Huaiyuan said.
"Really? It's amazing!" Cheng Xuan was very excited.
When Gu Huaiyuan drove the car on the avenue where the trees stood, leading directly to the library, Cheng Xuan found that the building had really turned into a triangular prism shape.
"Huaiyuan, how many floors does the library have?"
"Six floors."
"Amazing……"
Gu Huaiyuan parked the car in the parking lot, and led Cheng Xuan to the teaching building. It was already [-]:[-], and the aisles were filled with students going to school. Some were walking while eating breakfast, and some were wearing earphones. Without squinting, some are walking and browsing with their mobile phones. They are naturally busy in this school, because they belong here!Cheng Xuan was really envious.
Following Gu Huaiyuan and turning into a huge classroom, Cheng Xuan was surprised to find that the classroom was almost full.Cheng Xuan's sharp eyes saw that there was still an empty seat in the back row, so he hurried over to take it.Gu Huaiyuan walked up to the podium with a calm expression, glanced under the stage and said, "It's probably all here, the school committee will collect the homework assigned last time." At this time, three students stood up to collect the homework, and a boy collected the homework and received it. On Cheng Xuan's side, Cheng Xuan was embarrassed to say that he didn't.The boy asked: "You are not in our class, which class are you in?"
"What's wrong?" The other two school committee members also came over.
"Is he in your class?"
The other two school committee members shook their heads, and Cheng Xuan quickly said, "That... I'm here to listen."
"Don't worry about him, I brought him here." Gu Huaiyuan said loudly on stage.All of a sudden, hundreds of pairs of eyes in the classroom looked at Cheng Xuan. Cheng Xuan was so shy that he wanted to get into the drawer.
After class started, the girl sitting next to Cheng Xuan said, "Don't you have any books? Let's read together!"
"Thank you, sister." Cheng Xuan said politely.
But... what is written on it? ... Gu Huaiyuan was talking about writing again. Although he spoke very handsomely, Cheng Xuan still couldn't fully understand it at the current level.At this time, someone nodded Cheng Xuan's back, Cheng Xuan turned his head, and was startled, there was actually a boy squatting behind him, he lowered his voice and said to Cheng Xuan: "Who are you, why do you occupy me?" Seat? Go away!"
Cheng Xuan looked around, and there was indeed no empty seat. He quickly got up, blushed and said, "I'm sorry!" Then he quietly ran away when Gu Huaiyuan turned to face the big screen.The girl next to him said to the boy who came late: "You have something to do." The boy asked nervously: "Could it be called today?" The girl sighed and ignored him.Gu Huaiyuan turned his head and frowned unhappily when he saw Cheng Xuan's seat changed.
Cheng Xuan walked in the empty corridor, like a student skipping class, he walked out of the teaching building nervously, and then wandered aimlessly.Although the campus is beautiful, Cheng Xuan has lost his appreciation.Suddenly, Cheng Xuan remembered Ji Dahongwei's library, he came to the spirit and walked towards the library.
Walking into the library, Cheng Xuan found that the interior space was wider than he imagined, with bookshelves that could not be seen to the bottom and two rows of desks and chairs for self-study on the edge.Everyone was quietly flipping through the books. The whole floor was filled with the sound of turning pages and writing. Cheng Xuan walked softly between the two rows of bookshelves, glanced left and right, walked past a row of civil engineering books, and came to the building. Classes, and then there are chemistry classes.Cheng Xuan realized that he hadn't considered what major he would study in the future. Cheng Xuan, who originally wanted to give up university and go to work, was more and more eager to enter university.If he gets a college degree and a skill, he can find a better job, and maybe the 20 owed to Gu Huaiyuan can be easily paid off, and his life will be better after paying off the debt.Cheng Xuan began to think about what major he would choose.
Cheng Xuan spent the whole morning in the library unknowingly, and when he realized that he had to pay attention to the time, it was already [-]:[-].He hurriedly ran out of the library and found Gu Huaiyuan leaning on the car, flipping through a book in his hand.Cheng Xuan hurried up, panting: "Sorry, I forgot to check the time!"
"Are you hungry?" Gu Huaiyuan closed the book.
Cheng Xuan's stomach let out a "grunt" in unison, he covered his stomach in embarrassment, and smiled naively at Gu Huaiyuan.Gu Huaiyuan rubbed Cheng Xuan's hair and said, "Come on, let's go to my teacher's apartment."
"Huh?" Cheng Xuan got into the car and asked curiously, "You also have an apartment at school?"
“Living on campus when you’re busy.”
Cheng Xuan didn't expect that the teacher's apartment was shared by two people.The roommate with Gu Huaiyuan was a man in his 30s. He was sitting at the dining table and eating lunch. When he saw Gu Huaiyuan came back, he had a happy smile on his face.
"Professor Gu, why are you here today?" He walked up quickly, and when he saw Cheng Xuan behind Gu Huaiyuan, his smile stopped spreading.He asked, "This is?"
"My student, I'll bring him to your place for dinner," Gu Huaiyuan said as he walked in, "Lin Jue, what are you eating today? Fried rice with eggs?"
Seeing that Lin Jue was looking at him, Cheng Xuan quickly said, "Hi, my name is Cheng Xuan. I'm sorry to bother you."
"You and..." Lin Jue was about to say something when he was interrupted by Gu Huaiyuan's yelling.
"Lin Jue, here are two servings of fried rice with eggs."
"Okay, right away!" Lin Jue hurriedly went to the kitchen to cook.
Cheng Xuan whispered to Gu Huaiyuan, "Will we be too much trouble for him?"
"I almost paid the rent. Is there anything wrong with coming to have a meal?" Gu Huaiyuan said indifferently.Cheng Xuan felt embarrassed, he walked into the kitchen and asked, "Do you need help?"
"No, I'm faster alone." Lin Jue was expressionless.
When Cheng Xuan returned to the dining table, Gu Huaiyuan said, "Come, sit down."
Cheng Xuan sat obediently across from him, and Gu Huaiyuan asked seriously, "You don't have a cell phone?"
"No." Cheng Xuan shook his head.
"What if I can't find you?"
"But, my family has no money to buy a mobile phone..."
"I'll lend you my old phone first." Gu Huaiyuan said as he pushed his phone in front of Cheng Xuan.Cheng Xuan couldn't believe it: "This is too expensive..."
"I already have a new phone. If you don't want this phone, you can just throw it away." Gu Huaiyuan said.
After thinking about it, Cheng Xuan decided to accept it first, as if it was owed.
Gu Huaiyuan changed the subject and asked, "Did you gain anything in the library this morning?"
"Yes! Of course!" Cheng Xuan's eyes lit up and he said, "Huaiyuan, I want to study architecture!"
"Architecture?" Gu Huaiyuan was slightly surprised, "Why did you choose architecture?"
“Towards a New Architecture was read in the library today, written by Le Corbusier, and I suddenly felt that designing a building is a very happy thing. I can personally design the drawings, then select the materials, and finally the construction is completed. In the house I designed, I feel like I will wake up from my dreams!" Cheng Xuan said excitedly.
Gu Huaiyuan was silent for a while, and said: "Although the idea is very naive, it is always good to have a goal. I support you."
"Really? Great, as long as you agree, my grandfather will definitely agree!"
Gu Huaiyuan smiled meaningfully: "That's not necessarily true."
Half an hour later, Lin Jue made the fried egg method and brought it up, saying, "Egg fried rice is actually used as an overnight meal, but I don't have it anymore, so the rice is freshly cooked, and the taste may not be as good as before. I'm sorry." Ah Professor Gu..."
Cheng Xuan took a sip and felt that it was warm and soft. He shouted excitedly: "Delicious!"
Gu Huaiyuan took a sip, nodded and said, "It's okay."
Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief, and finally a smile appeared on his face.
On the way home, Cheng Xuan stopped talking.Although I don't know the relationship between Gu Huaiyuan and Lin Jue, I always feel that Gu Huaiyuan has a deliberate indifference towards Lin Jue.Cheng Xuan has been thinking about this issue. After returning home, if his grandfather hadn't mentioned it, he almost forgot to tell his grandfather about his professional volunteering.
"Architecture? Why do you suddenly want to study architecture?" Grandpa frowned.
Cheng Xuan quickly said: "Because it is very fulfilling to design a building and then watch it be built!"
"Grandpa wants you to study finance." Grandpa said bluntly.
"No, I don't want to study finance."
"It's good to get a job in finance! Look at the real estate industry in recent years. The entire construction industry is going downhill. What's the future for you to study architecture? Listen to your grandfather and study finance. After you come out, you can work in a bank or enter a state-owned enterprise as an accountant. It’s better than building a house.”
Cheng Xuan didn't expect his grandfather to say this, so he quickly moved out of Gu Huaiyuan: "Gu Huai...Professor Gu also supports me in studying architecture!"
Grandpa was silent for a long time before he said: "You can do whatever you want, but I still hope that you study economics and finance. Others... are not realistic. You should think about it carefully. After all, grandpa has lived for so many years. This point I still hope you will listen to the suggestion."
That night, Cheng Xuan tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, until the faint morning light poured into the window, he fell asleep lightly.In the dream, he seemed to be outside Langxiang Church, and there was a person beside him, whose face could not be seen, but Cheng Xuan knew that that person was Gu Huaiyuan.
Before the results of the college entrance examination came out, Cheng Xuan still wanted to get a job. Grandpa is a retired teacher. Although he can get a pension every month, but the tuition fees of college are high, Cheng Xuan wants to earn more money so that his life will not be too tight .But Gu Huaiyuan said: "You come to be my assistant, one hundred yuan a day."
"Ah?" Cheng Xuan stared at him blankly.
"Typing, sorting out files, and grading homework should be easy for you, right?" Gu Huaiyuan threw a stack of homework over and said, "Correct it for me, the answer is in the back."
"I'll help you finish the correction, but it's not about money." Cheng Xuan frowned.
Gu Huaiyuan was silent for a while before saying, "Okay."
In this way, Cheng Xuan helped Gu Huaiyuan with some trivial tasks while working part-time in the original restaurant.Cheng Xuan's life was still very busy, but he soon realized that this kind of busyness was meaningless.
Grandpa suddenly proposed to go to the nursing home in his hometown.
"Why?" Cheng Xuan asked in shock.
"Grandpa is really old. Not only can't take care of you, but he will also hold you back. Forget it, I'm going back to my hometown." Grandpa's tone was weak. He sat on a bamboo chair and looked gently at grandma's face not far away. photo.
"I'll take care of you! I've grown up!" Cheng Xuan said excitedly.
"Ah Xuan, don't worry. Grandpa didn't give up when he returned to his hometown, but I really wanted to go back. Your grandma and I came to this city to let you go to a good school. Now, grandpa thinks it's It's time to take your grandma back. You have grown up and become independent, and you can only rely on yourself for the next thing. As for what major you want to study, you can decide for yourself and do what you want to do."
"But...Grandpa, I don't trust you alone..."
"There is nothing to worry about! There are professional people in the nursing home to take care of me, and there are a group of old men and women to accompany me to pass the time. Besides, if you are on vacation, you can also visit me. "
Cheng Xuan's eyes were red, and his grandfather's eyes fell on the photo of his grandmother again. He sighed, "This is the life I wanted to live..."
Cheng Xuan didn't know what to say, maybe grandpa should really rest.Cheng Xuan felt that he was unfilial, very unfilial.
In the end, Gu Huaiyuan helped contact the nursing home. When his grandfather got into the car, he quietly told Cheng Xuan that he had left a sum of cash under the mattress to let Cheng Xuan take care of himself.Cheng Xuan also told his grandfather to call him if he had anything to do, and to come back immediately if he felt uncomfortable.
Grandpa smiled and waved his hands, and said to Gu Huaiyuan next to him, "Our family, Cheng Xuan, will ask you to take care of me. I'm really troublesome, little Gu!"
"No trouble." Gu Huaiyuan smiled.
After watching his grandfather leave, Cheng Xuan's heart felt empty.Gu Huaiyuan rubbed Cheng Xuan's hair vigorously, and said, "Go upstairs." Cheng Xuan nodded, his messy bangs covered his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.
In July, the cicadas were singing and the sun was hitting the asphalt road viciously. We could vaguely see the scene on the road twisting like tongues of fire.The fan in the room squeaked and squeaked, sweat dripped from the tip of Cheng Xuan's chin onto his collarbone, and the mouse stayed on the "Query" button on the computer page.Cheng Xuan plucked up his courage, clicked the mouse, and watched the page change intently.The results came into view at once.
"695 points...No.2...?" Cheng Xuan was stunned for a moment, he digested this information very slowly.This No.2 is No.2 in the whole province... What does this mean?Cheng Xuan hurriedly checked the admission rankings of Ji University. Last year, he was admitted to... the top [-]?
"Huh? Hey!!" Cheng Xuan couldn't believe it.He hastily logged out of the webpage again and logged in again. At this moment, the phone at home rang loudly, but Cheng Xuan ignored him and was focused on proving the facts.The results page of the college entrance examination results popped up again, yes, it was still No.2.Cheng Xuan was stunned. For a moment, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh. At that moment, he didn't even know what he should do.Until the phone rang again.
Cheng Xuan picked up the microphone, and the class teacher's deafening voice came: "Cheng Xuan, why are you only answering the phone now, do you know that you are number one in the city and number two in the province?"
"Ah... just found out."
"You can do it, boy! My mobile phone is about to explode, and the school even pulled out the banner and hung it at the school gate! Forget it, you don't care anyway, let me tell you something you care about the most. News!"
"what"
"Ji University called just now, asking me to ask for you!" After the class teacher finished speaking, he laughed heartily.
"Huh?" Cheng Xuan couldn't believe it.
"They blah blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!
"Jian...uh, not yet, let me think again."
"You have to think about it carefully. Okay, I'm hanging up... Hey! It's not over yet! Well, our school means to give you a scholarship of 5000 yuan. It's a little bit less. After all, it's a little heart. Next What kind of xx fund will also give you a scholarship, I will notify you later, except for my notification about the scholarship, don't believe anyone else, it's all a scam! Do you understand?"
"Well, okay, thank you very much, teacher in charge." Cheng Xuan said emotionally.
"Should, should."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Xuan became excited. He quickly called his grandfather to tell him the good news.Grandpa happily shouted to the elderly in the nursing home: "My family, Cheng Xuan, ranked first in the city! Second in the province!"
Hearing the congratulations from the other end of the microphone, Cheng Xuan's nose was sour and his eyes were slightly red.Cheng Xuan is really happy. He feels that he has not really done something worthwhile until now, something that can be recognized by the people around him.
Cheng Xuan went upstairs to stay in Gu Huaiyuan's apartment, intending to tell him the good news as soon as Gu Huaiyuan came back.But Cheng Xuan waited from four o'clock in the afternoon to ten o'clock in the evening, and what he waited for was a drunk Gu Huaiyuan.And it was Lin Jue who sent him back.
Lin Jue was also surprised when he saw Cheng Xuan inside the door: "Why are you here?"
"I... Me and Huai... Teacher Gu are neighbors, I'm here to ask him questions..." Cheng Xuan suddenly felt an indescribable guilt.Seeing Lin Jue struggling to help Gu Huaiyuan to the bedroom, Cheng Xuan instinctively wanted to step forward to help, but Lin Jue immediately blocked Cheng Xuan's extended hand, and said sternly, "Don't make trouble!"
Cheng Xuan was startled, and obediently stepped aside.Lin Jue gently placed Gu Huaiyuan on the bed, covered him with the quilt, and watched him for a while.At this moment, Gu Huaiyuan closed his eyes defenselessly and fell into a deep sleep.
Suddenly Lin Jue turned his head and said coldly, "Why are you still here?"
Facing Lin Jue's coldness, Cheng Xuan realized that the man in front of him really hated him.Cheng Xuan knew that it was common for him to be hated by others, but it still hurt a little at that moment.Just as Cheng Xuan walked out of the bedroom silently, the drunk Gu Huaiyuan suddenly murmured: "Cheng Xuan...Cheng Xuan..."
"Eh?" Cheng Xuan turned his head and responded, only to find that Lin Jue's face became even more unkind.Cheng Xuan glanced at Gu Huaiyuan, who was unconscious on the bed, and left after thinking that he was just talking nonsense.
Cheng Xuan thought: Teacher Lin Jue probably felt that I was in the way, so he let me go first... Why is Gu Huaiyuan drunk?Why are you drunk?This is not Gu Huaiyuan's style...
Cheng Xuan was thinking intently, when he was suddenly pushed against the wall, Lin Jue's face was right in front of him.Cheng Xuan's eyes widened and he didn't dare to move.
"What's the relationship between you and Huaiyuan?" Lin Jue questioned, and his hand pressing Cheng Xuan's shoulder became stronger and stronger.
Cheng Xuan smiled stiffly: "Mr. Lin, did you misunderstand something?"
"Misunderstanding?" Lin Jue snorted coldly, "It's ridiculous, tell me, what do you want from Gu Huaiyuan?"
"Mr. Lin, I think you really misunderstood. I... just live downstairs. Before Huaiyuan moved here, I lived downstairs..." Cheng Xuan explained in panic, afraid that Lin Jue might think he was What a thief.
"Why did you call him by his name?" Lin Jue suddenly raised his voice, looking fierce.Cheng Xuan even closed his eyes in fear, thinking that Lin Jue was going to hit someone in the next second.
"Speak!" Lin Jue lowered his voice.
"Yes... I made a slip of the tongue, I'm sorry..." No matter how slow Cheng Xuan was, he could tell that Lin Jue had a strong feeling for Gu Huaiyuan, and he didn't allow others to be disrespectful to Gu Huaiyuan, let alone allow Gu Huaiyuan to get close to others.Before Cheng Xuan could think about Lin Jue's strange feelings, Lin Jue took him out of the door.
"Hand over the key, and don't come here again."
As soon as Cheng Xuan took out the key, Lin Jue snatched it away, and then the door closed with a "bang", and the wind blew Cheng Xuan's hair.Cheng Xuan stood there in a daze for a long time, and then walked away step by step.
Cheng Xuan returned to his room and fell down on his bed, his mind was full of Lin Jue's disgusted face.Suddenly a thought flashed through Cheng Xuan's mind, but he shook his head immediately.
"Impossible, impossible," Cheng Xuan said to himself with a smile, "How could Lin Jue fall in love with Gu Huaiyuan? Impossible, impossible... how is it possible?"
"It's only five o'clock."
"Sorry." Cheng Xuan looked apologetic.
"Forget it, come in." Gu Huaiyuan rubbed his messy hair, yawned and walked barefoot to the bedroom and said, "Bake the bread at six o'clock, then call me."
"Ah... good! I'm really sorry!" Cheng Xuantong said with a blushing face.
Looking around, there were still books. There was a book of advanced mathematics spread out on the coffee table, with some notes on it. It turned out that Gu Huaiyuan was preparing for the lesson last night.Cheng Xuan took a mathematics magazine lightly and sat on the sofa to read it.Looking at it, he suddenly saw a familiar name, Cheng Xuan took a closer look, it was really Gu Huaiyuan!Gu Huaiyuan actually published a paper in a famous mathematics journal, and there was a brief introduction of Gu Huaiyuan on it—30 years old, a rising star in the Chinese mathematics field, the youngest member of the Chinese Mathematical Research Association, and a winner of an international mathematics award... The current professor of mathematics at Ji University... Cheng Xuan really couldn't believe his eyes, he hurriedly read Gu Huaiyuan's article carefully.After reading it, Cheng Xuan was convinced that the author was Gu Huaiyuan, and the lines between the lines were full of Gu Huaiyuan's unique rigor and love for mathematics research.Whenever Gu Huaiyuan was holding a pen and thinking about math problems, Cheng Xuan always felt that there was a sea in Gu Huaiyuan's body at that time, calm and deep, as if shining with the light of the sea...

This time Gu Huaiyuan finally reacted, he opened his eyes slightly, saw that it was Cheng Xuan, turned over again, and said hoarsely: " 5 minutes." Then it stopped moving again.
Cheng Xuan didn't expect that he would stay in bed with such a halo, Cheng Xuan ran to the other side of the bed and said, "No, I'll be late!" Seeing that he still didn't respond, Cheng Xuan began to shake his shoulders violently Suddenly, Gu Huaiyuan reached out and grabbed Cheng Xuan's arm, and pulled it hard. Cheng Xuan only saw the corner of the quilt flying up, and he was pulled into the quilt by Gu Huaiyuan.Cheng Xuan was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. He heard Gu Huaiyuan say on top of his head, "Just 5 minutes."
Cheng Xuan's mind was blank, Cheng Xuan could feel the warmth of Gu Huaiyuan's body through his clothes, and his breath filled Cheng Xuan's nose, it was a faint warm jasmine fragrance.Cheng Xuan remembered that the shower gel Gu Huaiyuan used was always scented with jasmine... Cheng Xuan began to feel dizzy...
Cheng Xuan gently pushed Gu Huaiyuan's chest, and said: "Get up, you... don't stay up late at night, go to bed early, you can get up early the next day... Also, the slices of bread have been baked and will cool down later Yes." Seeing that Gu Huaiyuan was ignoring him, Cheng Xuan squirmed upwards, then supported his arms, straightened his upper body to look at Gu Huaiyuan's face, and continued to wake him up.
Finally, Gu Huaiyuan sat at the dining table with disheveled hair, biting into bread.Cheng Xuan looked at his watch, it was already 06:30.I can't believe it, Gu Huaiyuan stayed in bed for half an hour, I really don't know what he was like when he was alone.

"I usually set the alarm clock half an hour earlier, so it's not too late." Gu Huaiyuan said suddenly.
"Ah?" Cheng Xuan didn't respond for a while.
"I don't stay in bed." Gu Huaiyuan looked serious.
Cheng Xuan understood that Gu Huaiyuan was trying to save his face.Cheng Xuan smiled and said, "Got it." Cheng Xuan discovered another secret of Gu Huaiyuan: saving face.
As the car drove into the campus slowly, Cheng Xuan rolled down the window and looked at the vast campus in admiration.The majestic teaching buildings and the well-designed garden landscape opened Cheng Xuan's eyes.

"Is he in your class?"

"Don't worry about him, I brought him here." Gu Huaiyuan said loudly on stage.All of a sudden, hundreds of pairs of eyes in the classroom looked at Cheng Xuan. Cheng Xuan was so shy that he wanted to get into the drawer.
After class started, the girl sitting next to Cheng Xuan said, "Don't you have any books? Let's read together!"

The boy asked nervously: "Could it be called today?" The girl sighed and ignored him.Gu Huaiyuan turned his head and frowned unhappily when he saw Cheng Xuan's seat changed.
Cheng Xuan walked in the empty corridor, like a student skipping class, he walked out of the teaching building nervously, and then wandered aimlessly.Although the campus is beautiful, Cheng Xuan has lost his appreciation.Suddenly, Cheng Xuan remembered Ji Dahongwei's library, he came to the spirit and walked towards the library.
Walking into the library, Cheng Xuan found that the interior space was wider than he imagined, with bookshelves that could not be seen to the bottom and two rows of desks and chairs for self-study on the edge.Everyone was quietly flipping through the books. The whole floor was filled with the sound of turning pages and writing. Cheng Xuan walked softly between the two rows of bookshelves, glanced left and right, walked past a row of civil engineering books, and came to the building. Classes, and then there are chemistry classes.Cheng Xuan realized that he hadn't considered what major he would study in the future. Cheng Xuan, who originally wanted to give up university and go to work, was more and more eager to enter university.If he gets a college degree and a skill, he can find a better job, and maybe the 20 owed to Gu Huaiyuan can be easily paid off, and his life will be better after paying off the debt.Cheng Xuan began to think about what major he would choose.
Cheng Xuan spent the whole morning in the library unknowingly, and when he realized that he had to pay attention to the time, it was already [-]:[-].He hurriedly ran out of the library and found Gu Huaiyuan leaning on the car, flipping through a book in his hand.Cheng Xuan hurried up, panting: "Sorry, I forgot to check the time!"
"Are you hungry?" Gu Huaiyuan closed the book.
Cheng Xuan's stomach let out a "grunt" in unison, he covered his stomach in embarrassment, and smiled naively at Gu Huaiyuan.Gu Huaiyuan rubbed Cheng Xuan's hair and said, "Come on, let's go to my teacher's apartment."
"Huh?" Cheng Xuan got into the car and asked curiously, "You also have an apartment at school?"
“Living on campus when you’re busy.”
Cheng Xuan didn't expect that the teacher's apartment was shared by two people.The roommate with Gu Huaiyuan was a man in his 30s. He was sitting at the dining table and eating lunch. When he saw Gu Huaiyuan came back, he had a happy smile on his face.
"Professor Gu, why are you here today?" He walked up quickly, and when he saw Cheng Xuan behind Gu Huaiyuan, his smile stopped spreading.He asked, "This is?"
"My student, I'll bring him to your place for dinner," Gu Huaiyuan said as he walked in, "Lin Jue, what are you eating today? Fried rice with eggs?"
Seeing that Lin Jue was looking at him, Cheng Xuan quickly said, "Hi, my name is Cheng Xuan. I'm sorry to bother you."
"You and..." Lin Jue was about to say something when he was interrupted by Gu Huaiyuan's yelling.
"Lin Jue, here are two servings of fried rice with eggs."
"Okay, right away!" Lin Jue hurriedly went to the kitchen to cook.
Cheng Xuan whispered to Gu Huaiyuan, "Will we be too much trouble for him?"
"I almost paid the rent. Is there anything wrong with coming to have a meal?" Gu Huaiyuan said indifferently.Cheng Xuan felt embarrassed, he walked into the kitchen and asked, "Do you need help?"
"No, I'm faster alone." Lin Jue was expressionless.
When Cheng Xuan returned to the dining table, Gu Huaiyuan said, "Come, sit down."
Cheng Xuan sat obediently across from him, and Gu Huaiyuan asked seriously, "You don't have a cell phone?"
"No." Cheng Xuan shook his head.
"What if I can't find you?"
"But, my family has no money to buy a mobile phone..."
"I'll lend you my old phone first." Gu Huaiyuan said as he pushed his phone in front of Cheng Xuan.Cheng Xuan couldn't believe it: "This is too expensive..."
"I already have a new phone. If you don't want this phone, you can just throw it away." Gu Huaiyuan said.
After thinking about it, Cheng Xuan decided to accept it first, as if it was owed.
Gu Huaiyuan changed the subject and asked, "Did you gain anything in the library this morning?"
"Yes! Of course!" Cheng Xuan's eyes lit up and he said, "Huaiyuan, I want to study architecture!"
"Architecture?" Gu Huaiyuan was slightly surprised, "Why did you choose architecture?"
“Towards a New Architecture was read in the library today, written by Le Corbusier, and I suddenly felt that designing a building is a very happy thing. I can personally design the drawings, then select the materials, and finally the construction is completed. In the house I designed, I feel like I will wake up from my dreams!" Cheng Xuan said excitedly.
Gu Huaiyuan was silent for a while, and said: "Although the idea is very naive, it is always good to have a goal. I support you."
"Really? Great, as long as you agree, my grandfather will definitely agree!"
Gu Huaiyuan smiled meaningfully: "That's not necessarily true."
Half an hour later, Lin Jue made the fried egg method and brought it up, saying, "Egg fried rice is actually used as an overnight meal, but I don't have it anymore, so the rice is freshly cooked, and the taste may not be as good as before. I'm sorry." Ah Professor Gu..."
Cheng Xuan took a sip and felt that it was warm and soft. He shouted excitedly: "Delicious!"
Gu Huaiyuan took a sip, nodded and said, "It's okay."
Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief, and finally a smile appeared on his face.
On the way home, Cheng Xuan stopped talking.Although I don't know the relationship between Gu Huaiyuan and Lin Jue, I always feel that Gu Huaiyuan has a deliberate indifference towards Lin Jue.Cheng Xuan has been thinking about this issue. After returning home, if his grandfather hadn't mentioned it, he almost forgot to tell his grandfather about his professional volunteering.
"Architecture? Why do you suddenly want to study architecture?" Grandpa frowned.
Cheng Xuan quickly said: "Because it is very fulfilling to design a building and then watch it be built!"
"Grandpa wants you to study finance." Grandpa said bluntly.
"No, I don't want to study finance."
"It's good to get a job in finance! Look at the real estate industry in recent years. The entire construction industry is going downhill. What's the future for you to study architecture? Listen to your grandfather and study finance. After you come out, you can work in a bank or enter a state-owned enterprise as an accountant. It’s better than building a house.”
Cheng Xuan didn't expect his grandfather to say this, so he quickly moved out of Gu Huaiyuan: "Gu Huai...Professor Gu also supports me in studying architecture!"
Grandpa was silent for a long time before he said: "You can do whatever you want, but I still hope that you study economics and finance. Others... are not realistic. You should think about it carefully. After all, grandpa has lived for so many years. This point I still hope you will listen to the suggestion."
That night, Cheng Xuan tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, until the faint morning light poured into the window, he fell asleep lightly.In the dream, he seemed to be outside Langxiang Church, and there was a person beside him, whose face could not be seen, but Cheng Xuan knew that that person was Gu Huaiyuan.
Before the results of the college entrance examination came out, Cheng Xuan still wanted to get a job. Grandpa is a retired teacher. Although he can get a pension every month, but the tuition fees of college are high, Cheng Xuan wants to earn more money so that his life will not be too tight .But Gu Huaiyuan said: "You come to be my assistant, one hundred yuan a day."
"Ah?" Cheng Xuan stared at him blankly.
"Typing, sorting out files, and grading homework should be easy for you, right?" Gu Huaiyuan threw a stack of homework over and said, "Correct it for me, the answer is in the back."
"I'll help you finish the correction, but it's not about money." Cheng Xuan frowned.
Gu Huaiyuan was silent for a while before saying, "Okay."
In this way, Cheng Xuan helped Gu Huaiyuan with some trivial tasks while working part-time in the original restaurant.Cheng Xuan's life was still very busy, but he soon realized that this kind of busyness was meaningless.
Grandpa suddenly proposed to go to the nursing home in his hometown.
"Why?" Cheng Xuan asked in shock.
"Grandpa is really old. Not only can't take care of you, but he will also hold you back. Forget it, I'm going back to my hometown." Grandpa's tone was weak. He sat on a bamboo chair and looked gently at grandma's face not far away. photo.
"I'll take care of you! I've grown up!" Cheng Xuan said excitedly.
"Ah Xuan, don't worry. Grandpa didn't give up when he returned to his hometown, but I really wanted to go back. Your grandma and I came to this city to let you go to a good school. Now, grandpa thinks it's It's time to take your grandma back. You have grown up and become independent, and you can only rely on yourself for the next thing. As for what major you want to study, you can decide for yourself and do what you want to do."
"But...Grandpa, I don't trust you alone..."
"There is nothing to worry about! There are professional people in the nursing home to take care of me, and there are a group of old men and women to accompany me to pass the time. Besides, if you are on vacation, you can also visit me. "
Cheng Xuan's eyes were red, and his grandfather's eyes fell on the photo of his grandmother again. He sighed, "This is the life I wanted to live..."
Cheng Xuan didn't know what to say, maybe grandpa should really rest.Cheng Xuan felt that he was unfilial, very unfilial.
In the end, Gu Huaiyuan helped contact the nursing home. When his grandfather got into the car, he quietly told Cheng Xuan that he had left a sum of cash under the mattress to let Cheng Xuan take care of himself.Cheng Xuan also told his grandfather to call him if he had anything to do, and to come back immediately if he felt uncomfortable.
Grandpa smiled and waved his hands, and said to Gu Huaiyuan next to him, "Our family, Cheng Xuan, will ask you to take care of me. I'm really troublesome, little Gu!"
"No trouble." Gu Huaiyuan smiled.
After watching his grandfather leave, Cheng Xuan's heart felt empty.Gu Huaiyuan rubbed Cheng Xuan's hair vigorously, and said, "Go upstairs." Cheng Xuan nodded, his messy bangs covered his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.
In July, the cicadas were singing and the sun was hitting the asphalt road viciously. We could vaguely see the scene on the road twisting like tongues of fire.The fan in the room squeaked and squeaked, sweat dripped from the tip of Cheng Xuan's chin onto his collarbone, and the mouse stayed on the "Query" button on the computer page.Cheng Xuan plucked up his courage, clicked the mouse, and watched the page change intently.The results came into view at once.
"695 points...No.2...?" Cheng Xuan was stunned for a moment, he digested this information very slowly.This No.2 is No.2 in the whole province... What does this mean?Cheng Xuan hurriedly checked the admission rankings of Ji University. Last year, he was admitted to... the top [-]?
"Huh? Hey!!" Cheng Xuan couldn't believe it.He hastily logged out of the webpage again and logged in again. At this moment, the phone at home rang loudly, but Cheng Xuan ignored him and was focused on proving the facts.The results page of the college entrance examination results popped up again, yes, it was still No.2.Cheng Xuan was stunned. For a moment, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh. At that moment, he didn't even know what he should do.Until the phone rang again.
Cheng Xuan picked up the microphone, and the class teacher's deafening voice came: "Cheng Xuan, why are you only answering the phone now, do you know that you are number one in the city and number two in the province?"
"Ah... just found out."
"You can do it, boy! My mobile phone is about to explode, and the school even pulled out the banner and hung it at the school gate! Forget it, you don't care anyway, let me tell you something you care about the most. News!"
"what"
"Ji University called just now, asking me to ask for you!" After the class teacher finished speaking, he laughed heartily.
"Huh?" Cheng Xuan couldn't believe it.
"They blah blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!
"Jian...uh, not yet, let me think again."
"You have to think about it carefully. Okay, I'm hanging up... Hey! It's not over yet! Well, our school means to give you a scholarship of 5000 yuan. It's a little bit less. After all, it's a little heart. Next What kind of xx fund will also give you a scholarship, I will notify you later, except for my notification about the scholarship, don't believe anyone else, it's all a scam! Do you understand?"
"Well, okay, thank you very much, teacher in charge." Cheng Xuan said emotionally.
"Should, should."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Xuan became excited. He quickly called his grandfather to tell him the good news.Grandpa happily shouted to the elderly in the nursing home: "My family, Cheng Xuan, ranked first in the city! Second in the province!"
Hearing the congratulations from the other end of the microphone, Cheng Xuan's nose was sour and his eyes were slightly red.Cheng Xuan is really happy. He feels that he has not really done something worthwhile until now, something that can be recognized by the people around him.
Cheng Xuan went upstairs to stay in Gu Huaiyuan's apartment, intending to tell him the good news as soon as Gu Huaiyuan came back.But Cheng Xuan waited from four o'clock in the afternoon to ten o'clock in the evening, and what he waited for was a drunk Gu Huaiyuan.And it was Lin Jue who sent him back.
Lin Jue was also surprised when he saw Cheng Xuan inside the door: "Why are you here?"
"I... Me and Huai... Teacher Gu are neighbors, I'm here to ask him questions..." Cheng Xuan suddenly felt an indescribable guilt.Seeing Lin Jue struggling to help Gu Huaiyuan to the bedroom, Cheng Xuan instinctively wanted to step forward to help, but Lin Jue immediately blocked Cheng Xuan's extended hand, and said sternly, "Don't make trouble!"
Cheng Xuan was startled, and obediently stepped aside.Lin Jue gently placed Gu Huaiyuan on the bed, covered him with the quilt, and watched him for a while.At this moment, Gu Huaiyuan closed his eyes defenselessly and fell into a deep sleep.
Suddenly Lin Jue turned his head and said coldly, "Why are you still here?"
Facing Lin Jue's coldness, Cheng Xuan realized that the man in front of him really hated him.Cheng Xuan knew that it was common for him to be hated by others, but it still hurt a little at that moment.Just as Cheng Xuan walked out of the bedroom silently, the drunk Gu Huaiyuan suddenly murmured: "Cheng Xuan...Cheng Xuan..."
"Eh?" Cheng Xuan turned his head and responded, only to find that Lin Jue's face became even more unkind.Cheng Xuan glanced at Gu Huaiyuan, who was unconscious on the bed, and left after thinking that he was just talking nonsense.
Cheng Xuan thought: Teacher Lin Jue probably felt that I was in the way, so he let me go first... Why is Gu Huaiyuan drunk?Why are you drunk?This is not Gu Huaiyuan's style...
Cheng Xuan was thinking intently, when he was suddenly pushed against the wall, Lin Jue's face was right in front of him.Cheng Xuan's eyes widened and he didn't dare to move.
"What's the relationship between you and Huaiyuan?" Lin Jue questioned, and his hand pressing Cheng Xuan's shoulder became stronger and stronger.
Cheng Xuan smiled stiffly: "Mr. Lin, did you misunderstand something?"
"Misunderstanding?" Lin Jue snorted coldly, "It's ridiculous, tell me, what do you want from Gu Huaiyuan?"
"Mr. Lin, I think you really misunderstood. I... just live downstairs. Before Huaiyuan moved here, I lived downstairs..." Cheng Xuan explained in panic, afraid that Lin Jue might think he was What a thief.
"Why did you call him by his name?" Lin Jue suddenly raised his voice, looking fierce.Cheng Xuan even closed his eyes in fear, thinking that Lin Jue was going to hit someone in the next second.
"Speak!" Lin Jue lowered his voice.
"Yes... I made a slip of the tongue, I'm sorry..." No matter how slow Cheng Xuan was, he could tell that Lin Jue had a strong feeling for Gu Huaiyuan, and he didn't allow others to be disrespectful to Gu Huaiyuan, let alone allow Gu Huaiyuan to get close to others.Before Cheng Xuan could think about Lin Jue's strange feelings, Lin Jue took him out of the door.
"Hand over the key, and don't come here again."
As soon as Cheng Xuan took out the key, Lin Jue snatched it away, and then the door closed with a "bang", and the wind blew Cheng Xuan's hair.Cheng Xuan stood there in a daze for a long time, and then walked away step by step.
Cheng Xuan returned to his room and fell down on his bed, his mind was full of Lin Jue's disgusted face.Suddenly a thought flashed through Cheng Xuan's mind, but he shook his head immediately.
"Impossible, impossible," Cheng Xuan said to himself with a smile, "How could Lin Jue fall in love with Gu Huaiyuan? Impossible, impossible... how is it possible?"
