Sir, what if it's too cold?

Only a few steps away, the faces of the two people were clearly printed in each other's sight.

Xu Muran tried his best to show a guilty smile: "Mr. Zhou, what a coincidence..."

Here again, another coincidence.

If she could, she would never come to this mall again in the future.

Zhou Qing was a little surprised at why she appeared here, before she had time to ask, it was Lan Fu who was next to her who spoke first: "You...know each other?"

An unspeakable silence suddenly rose in the air, Xu Muran looked at Zhou Qing, Zhou Qing nodded slowly: "My friend, we have a good relationship."

Lan Fu found it interesting and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to have a private life?"

In her impression, Zhou Qing was not very talkative. He always wore a plain white coat when he was in the laboratory. They were all discussing quietly behind their backs, Zhou Qing was probably planning to dedicate his life to physics.

After hearing this, Zhou Qing's face darkened: "How did you speak?"

Lan Fu let out a "haha" and smoothed things over: "Oh, I'm just talking casually, Mr. Zhou, don't be so serious—" She invited Xu Muran again: "Would you like to sit at our table?"

"I..." She was about to refuse when she heard Zhou Qing say, "Come and sit, the table is big anyway."

After a brief battle between heaven and man in his heart, Xu Muran finally responded: "Okay."

Five minutes later, a bowl of mango ice cream, a chair and a person were added to the private room next door.

All kinds of data and charts that Xu Muran could not understand were scattered on the table, as well as a few pens and a stack of draft paper.

While she was digging the dessert and putting it in her mouth, she tilted her head to listen to Zhou Qing and Lan Fu chatting as if they were reciting scriptures, and at the same time...

Look quietly at Zhou Qing's side face.

It's not the first time she noticed that Zhou Qing was good-looking, but every time she saw her, she couldn't help repeating the old tune.

Ah, Zhou Qing looks really good-looking, it made her feel like she was in a certain haute couture show, not a small room in a dessert shop.

Xu Muran tried his best to hold his eyelids to keep himself from falling asleep, but he couldn't resist the sleepy call deep inside his heart. A few minutes later, his head fell on the table with a "bang".

Lan Fu was silent for a few seconds. Due to Zhou Qing's expression, he laughed out of embarrassment, cleared his throat, and pretended to be calm and said: "Sleeping like this, you must be very tired today, right?"

Zhou Qing's gaze swept over Xu Muran's sleeping face, and paused on the eyelashes that trembled with the long breath, and there was a little smile that Lan Fu rarely saw in his voice: "It should be."

She took off her coat and covered Xu Muran, then turned to Lan Fu, calm as if nothing had happened just now: "Continue, what did you just say? Yes, about this..."

Xu Muran had a dream, not long but interesting.

She was bouncing through the forest with a basket full of carrots.Suddenly, with a "hoo", a big bad wolf jumped out in front of her and blocked her way: "Hello, little white rabbit, I'm a big bad wolf!"

She was so frightened that her ears drooped, and tremblingly, she raised the basket above her head: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The big bad wolf was stunned, then took the basket and put it aside: "I don't want to eat carrots."

If you don't want to eat carrots, does that mean you want to eat her?

She was even more frightened, with tears in her eyes, she broke down and said, "Don't eat me, don't eat me, don't eat me..."

There was no movement from the other party for a long time, she closed her eyes, turned around and ran away.

Before taking a few steps, she was grabbed by a pair of rough hands, and her heart sank slowly: it's over, she will be eaten...

The voice of the big bad wolf drilled into the drooping ears: "I won't eat you. No, it should be said, I won't eat you now."

Huh?Don't eat her?Then she still has a chance to escape?

She opened her eyes cautiously, and what caught her eyes was the black eyes of the big bad wolf: "Now, I just want to hug you quietly."

This face... always feels familiar...

She thought and thought in confusion, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration!

This, isn't this Zhou Qing!

As soon as the thought came out, Xu Muran woke up immediately in fright.

Zhou Qing was still discussing academic issues with Lan Fu beside her, she looked around exhaustedly, then buried her head again: If you do this every day, you will probably age prematurely.

She moved her shoulders, feeling that the touch was not quite right, and only belatedly realized that she was wearing Zhou Qing's coat.

The soft wool fell on the body, but it seemed to be extremely heavy.The fragrance attached to it slowly drilled into the tip of her nose, making her uncontrollably think of the owner of this dress.

enough enough enough enough——

Why is the whole world full of her! !

Zhou Qing noticed her abnormal state: "What's wrong?"

When asked suddenly, Xu Muran froze: "No...it's nothing."

She desperately needs the cold wind to clear her mind, and a bowl of ice products alone can't relieve her boredom.

Zhou Qing looked at her suspiciously, and finally suppressed it: "I'll take you back, get up and pack up, it's time to go."

After saying goodbye to Lan Fu, Zhou Qing handed Xu Muran a card: "Take it."

Xu Muran subconsciously reached out to take it, it was the senior membership card of Lanji Bingpin, lifetime... [-]% off.

[-]% off?[-]% off! ?

Zhou Qing explained to her: "Brother Lan Fu opened this store, and she just gave me the card. I have a bad stomach, and I can't eat these cold things, so I'll give it to you when I think about it. It’s good to come over to eat with friends when you have time, don’t waste it.”

She nodded silently and said nothing.

Sending Xu Muran home all the way, Zhou Qing saw that she was uncharacteristically silent, thought about her words and asked, "Aren't you happy, today?"

"No," Xu Muran shook his head vigorously, "I'm just a little...a little..."

"Something?"

After hesitating for a while, Xu Muran said, "I've been facing some problems recently, and I don't know how to deal with them."

"what is the problem?"

Facing the plain but undeniable questioning from the other party, she selectively skipped the parts related to the other party, and told Zhou Qing exactly what she didn't tell Cheng Xuewei.

After listening to her narration, Zhou Qing nodded: "You did a good job."

"If you tell her rashly, it may indeed make her suspicious. Has anyone approached you suddenly recently?"

Among the people who approached her suddenly, Zheng Weixing was the only one.But they haven't been in touch for a long time, and Zheng Weixing suddenly disappeared into her world like a mud cow falling into the sea.

She told Zhou Qing about Zheng Weixing, and as expected, the other party frowned and repeated: "Zheng Weixing?"

Seeing her expression, Xu Muran was suddenly touched: Zhou Qing cares about him so much, thinks for himself so much... She is still annoying her.

Alas, it shouldn't be.

And what Zhou Qing thought was——

The watery cabbage she planted was about to be raped by a foreign pig, and she couldn't swallow this breath no matter how much she thought about it.

She looked at Xu Muran, and thought: Fortunately, she hasn't thought about the relationship between men and women... Otherwise, she will probably be left behind for no reason.

For a moment, she suddenly resented her daughter body, she couldn't easily tell her love to the person she admired, she couldn't hold her hand or hold her in the arms in front of the public, and she couldn't resist the storms from all directions for her in the open, and finally What made her feel powerless was——

This is not something she can choose. In such a situation, she cannot make even the slightest change to it.

If she is not...

Such bitter thoughts were snuffed out after only a moment in her mind, she smiled secretly, what's the use of thinking about it now?

Xu Muran didn't know what was going on in her heart, she was silent for a while, and said, "Thank you Teacher Zhou, then I will..."

"Don't call me Teacher Zhou."

Xu Muran was stunned: "Huh?"

Zhou Qing turned her head, looked straight at her, and said slowly: "Could it be that our relationship...isn't close enough to call each other names?"

Xu Muran felt a little bit retreated by her almost scorching gaze, but what really frightened her was the faint resentment in that gaze.

She struggled to explain: "No, it's not like this..."

The reason for speaking so hesitantly is only known to her.

Zhou Qing on the opposite side suddenly calmed down like an unplugged electric fan.

She waved at Xu Muran, her voice was low: "Sorry, I was too excited just now, I shouldn't have said that."

Zhou Qing's appearance made Xu Muran even more anxious.

She gritted her teeth and said softly, "That's not it. Sometimes I think... No, I always think, you are so nice, it makes me feel that everything..."

"There is such a big difference between us, but we managed to chat by accident. You know everything, and I just entered the society, you look good, I don't look good, no, what a mess... In short, you are so good that I feel unreal , will make me doubt whether I am worthy of such a good you."

"I regard you as an important friend, just like..." She smiled softly, "Just like you regard me as your friend."
