3 years later it will still be you

Li Jing had no class today, so he made a special trip to a pastry shop in Dongcheng District to buy cinnamon snow balls and mille-feuille, and went to visit his teacher Cao Xiuping.Academically, there is no one in Jiangzhou who is at the same level as Cao Xiuping, but this professor feels that taking care of students is the most troublesome thing in the world. Five years ago, he said that he would never take students with him anymore. He moved out of the dormitory of Jiangda University and lived in a remote small yard of his own home.Li Kyung was his last disciple.However, Cao Xiuping was quite satisfied with the last student he brought, saying that Li Jing possessed the character of a rare ancient literati.

"Hello, Aunt Zhu." It was Cao Xiuping's nanny who opened the door for Li Jing.

"Xiao Li, I haven't seen you for a long time." Aunt Zhu hurriedly opened the door for Li Jing.

"How is Professor Cao?" Li Kyung asked.

"It's good. I'm basking in the sun in the yard right now. Go sit in the yard and I'll make tea for you." Aunt Zhu said.

"Thank you." Li Kyung said.

Li Kyung walked through the living room and study, and walked directly to the yard.The courtyard wall is made of bricks, and various flowers and plants are planted along the wall and on the top of the wall. There is a tea table and a bamboo and rattan reclining chair in the open space in the middle.Cao Xiuping has a thin and slender figure, his hair can only be vaguely seen in black, and the hairline almost reaches the top of his head.There are several parallel wrinkles on the forehead, and the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes extend intricately to the temples when he smiles. The corners of the two eyes are somewhat drooping, and there is a prominent mole under the left nose.

Li Jing didn't approach, but just waited quietly, Cao Xiuping slowly opened his eyes, and laughed when he saw Li Jing.Seeing that the teacher was awake, Li Jing hurried forward to help the teacher up.

"You are here, no need, just sit down." Although Cao Xiuping was old, he still spoke very fast.

"Gui Niang Snow Balls and Mille-Feuille Cakes." Li Jing held up a few small boxes in his hand.While sitting down, put the box on the tea table.

"Oh, I haven't eaten for a long time, but you still know me well. Well, Aunt Zhu, hurry up and make some tea. I want to drink tea with my students." Cao Xiuping yelled into the room.

"Get ready, when Xiao Li came in, I saw the tea in his hand." Aunt Zhu said, bringing out the tea set that Cao Xiuping would only put out when Li Jing came.

"Mmm! It's delicious." Cao Xiuping sighed.

Ri Kyung smiled.

"Li Jing, you haven't come for a while, what's the matter today?" Cao Xiuping said while comfortably eating the refreshments Li Jing bought.

"I'm really ashamed, I should have come to visit the teacher earlier..." Before Li Jing finished speaking, Cao Xiuping interrupted him:

"You young people live the lives of young people. You don't have to worry about my old man all the time. It's good to think of me when something happens. Tell me." Cao Xiuping put the third piece of mille-feuille in his mouth.

Li Kyung adjusted his glasses:

"I want to find some literature about the secret arts in ancient mythology." Li Jing said.

"This kind of research is not easy to do. Now everyone regards these as feudal superstitions. They don't believe in occult arts at all. Even if they find them in the materials, they have to think hard about the so-called scientific. There is no respect for occult arts. If you don't slander them That’s right. It’s said that ancient people’s cognition of nature is limited, and secret arts can only be explained in an imaginative way.” After Cao Xiuping finished speaking in one breath, Li Jing remained silent.Cao Xiuping took a sip of tea and stood up:

"Come with me." For Li Jing, a student, Cao Xiuping has unreasonable trust. Every time Li Jing asks for advice, he knows everything, and no matter what he comes to seek, Cao Xiuping will teach him everything.

Cao Xiuping brought Li Jing to the study room. Since Li Jing first stepped here, the furnishings have not changed at all. Beside the glass window with wooden panes is a large old-fashioned writing desk with a glass plate on it. Under the board are some photos of Cao Xiuping and his students when he was young, the most recent one is a photo with Li Jing.Next to it was a very old rattan chair. The armrests and four corners of the rattan chair were repeatedly wrapped with cloth strips, revealing colorful colors.The remaining three walls are wooden lattice bookcases, filled with all kinds of books, and the floor is also piled up with all kinds of books. When Li Jing followed him in, he had to carefully bypass --------- this is Cao Shuhei did not allow Aunt Zhu to tidy up the space.On weekdays, only Cao Xiuping came in and out alone, so it was really cramped for Li Jing to stand inside, but he could only smile helplessly.Cao Xiuping found a thread-bound book in traditional Chinese characters in a corner. The front and back covers had been gnawed into colanders, and the inside pages were all yellow, giving off a musty smell.Cao Xiuping reached out and handed the book out, without looking up.Li Jing saw the author: Cao Xiuping, published in 1980 on the spine of the book.

"No, it's all gone, only this, you take it, I don't know if it can help you." Cao Xiuping stood up while supporting the bookshelf, Li Jing quickly reached out to help, Cao Xiuping waved his hand at him to express unnecessary.

Holding the book, Li Jing felt a little distressed.Cao Xiuping has been interested in ancient secret arts since he was a Ph. It attracted more people's attention, but in the end, no one cared about it. Later, I heard that Cao Xiuping burned all the research materials and manuscripts of the book, never touched this field again, and turned to study literary history. A formidable figure in academia.If it wasn't for me, I really had no choice, and I wouldn't come to expose the teacher's scars.

"Nothing else, stay for a meal." Cao Xiuping said without emotion.

"Okay." Li Jing suppressed his emotions and gave Cao Xiuping a bright smile, showing a mouthful of small white teeth.

Li Jing made Cao Xiuping his favorite vinegar fish, and the master and apprentice had a very warm meal together.

On the car back to the city, Li Jing couldn't wait to open the book and read through it, hoping to find out how to restrain spiritual power from triggering past life memories.

It has been more than half a month since Yaoge returned to Yiqi, Gao Xin did not move at all, it was undoubtedly a long torment for her, in the first two days she could find a reason to lie to herself, but as time went by, She was getting more and more panicked, but she didn't know what to do. She didn't think about food and tea all day long, and she lost a lot of weight.

"Miss, a letter from Mrs. Tu Shan." Yun Shu held a bamboo tube to Yaoge.

"Ms. Tu Shan?" Yaoge couldn't understand why Qingluan would write to her, but she still gave Yun Shu a wink, turned away, and closed the door of the room.Yaoge opened the bamboo tube, and inside was a veil made of fine silk:

Yaoge My Sister:

Recently, there have been changes in the Gaoxin clan, and all kinds of things are entangled, so it is inconvenient to ask Yiqi to ask for a marriage.I also ask my sister to be patient. When the family affairs are cleared up, she will definitely go to the Yiqi Mansion to marry her. I hope you cherish yourself and don't miss it.

Brother: Sincerely, Gao Xinjie

"This is clearly the character of Huo." Yaoge murmured to himself.

"Could it be that the second son was busy, so he dictated and let the third son write it." Yun Shu said.

"What you said...is not unreasonable." Yaoge looked at Yun Shu, then at the veil.

"Missy can rest assured now, the second son is busy with everything and won't neglect Missy in the cold." Yun Shu said.

In one sentence, Yaoge's heart was mixed with sweet and sour.

"Report to the patriarch, there is a man outside the door who claims to be serious and asks to see him."

When the guards came to report the time, Xian was studying the poison in Hsu with the clan's doctor.This Yan Jin is the most capable person around Hsu. When he was young, he suffered a family upheaval and once went to beg on the street. Hsu witnessed in the dark the process of him being humiliated by some hooligans. Before being beaten to death, he rescued him, and since then Yan Jin has stayed by Hsu's side as a confidant, handling all the affairs that Hsu is in charge of, and he is also the person who knows all the affairs best besides Hsu.Hearing Yan Jin's name, Xian immediately ordered to come in, and asked someone to call Yan Jin to the study to talk.

"Brother Yan! You are finally here." Huo took Kyung to the study room. He always wanted to contact Yan Jin, but couldn't.

"Third Young Master." Like Qiu Jin, Yan Jin was courteous to Yu, but he wasn't really in awe.So just hand over hand.Turn around and ask Xian

"Patriarch Tu Shan has seen my young master?"

Tu Shanxian sees the attitude of these guards under Hsu towards Hsu. On the one hand, he feels that it is worthless for Hsu, and on the other hand, he has to admire Hsu's ability to control his subordinates.Turn around and say to Yan Jin:

"I already have an idea of ​​your young master's situation, so you don't need to worry. Right now, someone needs to take charge of the overall situation for your young master." As he spoke, he handed a piece of cloth to Yan Jin.Yan Jin opened the cloth strip, and recognized that the cloth strip was torn from the bodyguard next to Yu, and it read, "The young master has an order, and all things should be handed over to the third young master for review, and the third young master will decide."

After Yan Jin finished reading, he raised his head to see that Patriarch Tu Shan was looking at him, his expression was calm, as if he was blaming him for his rudeness just now, and he nodded slightly.This cloth strip was stuffed into Xingyue's hand by a guard sideways when Xingyue sent them out of the yard.Yan Jin took a deep breath, turned around and bowed to Huang:

"The subordinates care about the safety of the second son, and please punish the third son for any offense."

"Brother Yan, what are you talking about? I can't bear such a big gift." Huo hurriedly helped Yan Jin up.Although Hsu has not been in charge for a long time, many of Hsu's subordinates have praised him, saying that he is humble, polite, and safe in handling things, and he did not care about his words, which seems to be somewhat true now.So he explained the situation of the affairs in Hsu's hands to Hsu in detail.Although Yu has already understood most of the family affairs that Hsu is in charge of, including some businesses, but after listening to Yan carefully, I still feel that it is too trivial, so I went back to my resting room, and Kyu spent the rest of the night working on the family affairs. Everything has been sorted out, classified, merged with the same items, and simplified.At dawn the next day, I went to Yan Jin's residence in person, and explained my handling method to Yan Jin in detail. But it can be easily resolved.

"Brother Yan, based on what you said yesterday, some people are trapped in the mansion, and some people haven't come back yet. The manpower we can mobilize is really limited, so I came up with this method to cut things down and keep things simple. Take a look. Is it feasible?" Huo said very sincerely.

"The third young master is too modest. I have followed the second young master for many years, but I have never thought so thoroughly. I will explain it according to the third young master." Yan Jin was about to salute to Yu, but was stopped by him again:

"Just one thing, please convey it to brother Yan, brothers must be extremely careful in handling affairs at this time, and no matter can be left to others, only our cronies who have been around for many years can use it." Xie said.

"Your subordinate obeys." Yan Jin bowed and withdrew.

When Kyu walked out of Yan Jin's room, he heard Kyoung call him

"Why did you get up so early? Did I light the lamp last night, so you didn't sleep well?" Huo's voice was full of pampering.

"Patriarch Tu Shan said he was going to see the second son, let me ask you to go with him." Kyung said.

Xian received the news early in the morning that Gao Xinjue rode out on a fast horse before dawn, thinking that there must be something important, so he decided to go quickly to check on Hsu's condition and try the antidote prescribed by the doctor.Although Xingyue gave him the drug, Jue's absence could save a lot of trouble after all.

Xingyue lifted the quilt from Hsu's body, revealing three black and hard blood holes on Hsu's body. Hsu felt numb all over when he saw it, especially the one under the left collarbone, and further down was the heart .

"I told the doctors about the situation, they looked through the classics, but they didn't have such poison, so they could only use some mild antidote herbs, and try it first." Saying, Xian took out one from his sleeve. The exquisite little jade bottle, opened, was about to drip onto the wound on the arm,

"Wait!" Kyung said suddenly, and the three of them looked at Kyung together.Kyung moved closer to Hsu and sniffed it carefully,

"It's a seven-star mandala!" Kyung said confidently.

"What kind of poison is the Seven Star Mandala, I have never heard of it." Xingyue said.

Kyung looked at Kyu, who nodded at him.

"The seven-star mandala is a plant that grows on the edge of the cliff and has purple flowers. It is not a poison, but the juice of the seven-star mandala can paralyze people, let them fall asleep, and make them unable to move." Kyung said.

"I, Tu Shan, have so many herb shops, but I've never heard of this plant. How did you know about it?" Xian's eyes widened curiously.

"I used to live in the mountains and forests when I was young, competing with wild animals for food. Once my hand was scratched by a wild animal. I thought I was going to die. Later, when I saw this flower blooming very well on the edge of a cliff, I wanted to pick it and hold it in my arms." I watched it slowly die in my hand. As a result, the wound turned purple when it touched the juice of the flower, and my hand lost feeling, but it stopped bleeding. I picked two more flowers with the other hand. I wiped it on other wounds on my body, and I lost consciousness, so I slept on the edge of a cliff for a long time before waking up, and when I woke up, I found that the wounds were all scabbed, and I was not dead." After finishing speaking, Kyung smiled brightly, but attracted a lot of attention. Huo's heart ached.

"How can you be sure that this is the Seven Star Mandala? Or is it similar to other poisons?" Xingyue asked again.

"Second Young Master's wound smells like a seven-star mandala." Kyung said.

"Smell?!" Xian was surprised, he also moved closer to Xun's wound and smelled it, but he didn't smell anything.

"Brother Xian, there is no need to doubt this point, Kyung can often detect things that I can't." Kyu said.

"So, what should we do now?" Xingyue asked.

"Miss Xingyue, don't worry. Now that I know what it is, I'll go back and find a solution."

From Yiqi's return to now, Xie's mood has been collapsing. All parties took precautions. Recently, he found Yan Jin and found out the poison on Xie's body. Finally, he felt that he could take a breather, so he took Jing to the back mountain of Tushan Mansion. blowing air on an empty grass field.Under the moonlight, Kyu gently held up the hand that Kyung said was injured by a wild beast, and through the moonlight, he could faintly see a pale scar.Kyu lowered her head, gently stroking the scar with her fingers,

"Will it still hurt?" Between the eyebrows and eyes, the words were full of crushed tenderness.

"It's been gone for a long time." Kyung still smiled brightly, reaching out his hand to smooth the frown that was frowning because of distress.

Kyo pulled Kyung into his arms and kissed Kyung lightly on the forehead.

In the conference room of AD Architects, two groups are conducting internal bidding. The plan of one group is perfect, but conservative;

"Gu Siqi, let me review your team's plan again." The boss Yu Lili, who had been silent all this time, said.Everyone has never been able to tell how old the boss is, and he looks very young, but whether it is dealing with people or professional rigor, it is not something a young girl can do.Hearing the boss' call, Gu Siqi hurriedly reopened the PPT and explained in detail the plans in his group.

"In the case of fair-faced concrete, how to solve the problems of construction and cost?" Yu Lili grasped the point of this plan that is most likely to be picked on by customers.

"Here are the quotations from three different companies. These three companies are currently the most experienced in this kind of construction in China. Their previous cases have also dealt with related construction issues. Their quotations are..." Gu Siqi did not continue to say, but After clicking Enter, the strengths and weaknesses analysis and quotations of the three companies were clearly displayed on the projection.

"You sort out the following PPT separately, and the second group will come with me to make a proposal tomorrow morning. The meeting will be adjourned." Yu Lili ended the meeting neatly.

"Hello?" Gu Siqi had just returned to his desk when he saw Li Jing's call.

"Where are you?" Rikyung asked.

"Working overtime." Gu Siqi replied.

"How long is it? Have you eaten yet?" Li Kyung asked.

"I... ate..." Gu Siqi wanted to say a few more words to Li Jing, but the other party hung up directly, leaving a series of beeps.Gu Siqi looked at the phone in a daze. Li Jing had never hung up on him like this before. He was wandering when he suddenly felt someone pat him on the shoulder:

"Gu Siqi, President Yu asked you to go to her office." Huang Weiwei, who was in the same group, said.

Gu Siqi casually put his phone away and went to the boss's office:

"Enter" Yu Lili didn't look up, but focused on the computer.

"Mr. Yu."

"The PPT you just modified needs to make a separate list of quotations and put them at the end. Print a few more copies and send them to them on the spot tomorrow." Yu Lili looked up at him.For some reason, he felt that Yu Lili seemed to be dazed for 0.1 seconds when she just looked up at him.

"Okay, I'll change it now." Gu Siqi said.

"Also. There is a new project. These are the materials. You can study it tonight and see if you have any ideas." Yu Lili gave Gu Siqi a folder as she spoke.

"Okay, I'll send you the modified PPT, and then I'll look at this." Gu Siqi shook the folder in his hand.

"Thank you." In Yu Lili's tone, there was no emotion, it was just a routine.

Gu Siqi walked out of the boss's office and quickly picked up the phone, the phone kept vibrating in his pocket.

"Why did it take so long to answer the phone?" It was Li Kyung.

"I was in the boss's office just now." Gu Siqi replied.

"Are you free to come down for a while? I'm downstairs in your company." Li Jing suddenly felt that he came a little hastily,

"I'll be right away." Gu Siqi originally wanted to let Li Jing come up directly, but then he thought that there were so many young girls in the company, and he had to find ways to abduct Li Jing home when he saw Li Jing. Although he felt that Li Jing would definitely not be abducted , but why bother, so I rushed into the elevator and went downstairs.

It was already past 9 o'clock in the evening, and the bright lights in the lobby of the office building made the figure at the entrance of the lobby even more lonely.Li Jing was wearing a light coat and was holding a thermos bucket in his hand. The hem of the clothes was shaking gently in the wind, and Gu Siqi suddenly felt distressed and warm.How long had he not felt such warmth?I don’t remember, the nose turned sore and the eye sockets were red. It happened that Li Jing turned his head to look at him, one under the bright light and the other in the dark night.Gu Siqi pinched his palms to suppress his emotions, and walked towards Li Jing with a smile.

The little girl in the convenience store had been reluctantly working the night shift, but suddenly two such handsome men came in and were eating in their seats, their eyes lit up.

The thermos bucket was opened, and there were hot meals inside. Li Jing took out the same ones and placed them in front of Gu Siqi.Gu Siqi continued to dig his palm hard, then picked up the bowl and shoveled the rice grains into his mouth.Seeing Gu Siqi like this, Li Jing thought he was hungry, and felt a severe pain in his heart:

"I'm sorry, I, I should have brought it to you earlier."

"Hello," the little girl in the convenience store brought two cups of hot water and put them in front of them.

"Thank you." The two thanked in unison.

"You're welcome." Accidentally looking at the handsome guy during working hours, and even more unexpectedly seeing the polite and nice smiles of the two handsome guys at the same time, the little girl was so happy that she wanted to jump away from the table where they were eating.

"Professor Li's charm is really irresistible, and he can enjoy high-level treatment wherever he goes!" The little girl interrupted, but it gave Gu Siqi time to recover.

"How long do you need?" Li Jing didn't intend to pay attention to what he said before, and opened a pack of tissues and put it in Gu Siqi's hand.

"I don't know. The boss seems to like our group's plan very much. Tomorrow, we will follow along to make a proposal. Just now, he gave me another project information and said that he would let me know and see if he has any ideas."

"Well, that means that your work was not bad some time ago. It seems that this choice is right. It can not only keep learning, but also let you play your strengths. Then you have to keep working hard and try to stay after the probationary period." Li Kyungsang is giving career guidance classes to students.At this time, Gu Siqi had already cleaned up the food and began to be in a daze.From Li Jing's point of view, Gu Siqi's beautiful facial contours are reflected on the floor-to-ceiling glass of the convenience store, adding a phantom layered effect to the real face.Li Jing just sat with him quietly for a while, seeing Gu Siqi staring blankly, asked softly:

"What are you thinking about?"

"Thinking about being full of food" Gu Siqi showed a smirk, and took advantage of the opportunity to put his hand on Li Jing's knee.Li Jing stood up reflexively, began to clear the tableware on the table, and threw down a sentence:

"You work hard, I'm going home." He left quickly.

Yu Lili was driving at the intersection and saw Li Jing coming out of the convenience store.
