Yuan Ning returned to the dormitory early the next morning, and keenly noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.Pang Xiaohe, who lived on the opposite bed, lowered his head, and the other two roommates surrounded him, filled with righteous indignation.Yuan Ning is usually away, but he has a good relationship with his roommates, so he asked what happened.

After questioning, I found out that Pang Xiaohe has an older brother named Pang Kang, who was brought by Pang Xiaohe's stepmother.He is a stepson in name, but in fact he is an illegitimate son that Pang's father hid early on outside.

Pang's father likes Pang Kang's mother, but he is reluctant to part with the benefits brought by Pang Xiaohe's mother's family, so he coaxes Pang Xiaohe's mother while hiding in the golden house.When Pang Xiaohe's mother was about to give birth, Pang Kang's mother went to see her quietly, and was so angry that Pang Xiaohe's mother gave birth prematurely and had difficult labor, so she went after giving birth to Pang Xiaohe.

Pang Xiaohe was born prematurely, weak in body, and his grandfather's family didn't like him very much, so he developed a timid and timid character.In fact, Pang Xiaohe is very smart and talented in design, otherwise he would not have been admitted to Capital University under such circumstances.

This Friday is Pang Xiaohe's birthday, and Pang's father wanted to win over some people by pulling the tiger skin of Pang Xiaohe's ancestral home, so he held a birthday party in Pang Xiaohe's name, which was regarded as a coming-of-age ceremony to celebrate Pang Xiaohe.Just now Pang Kang deliberately came over to mock Pang Xiaohe, saying that if Pang Xiaohe didn't have a decent dress, he could lend Pang Xiaohe the primary school dress.

After repeated questioning by the two roommates, Pang Xiaohe finally revealed the truth.After Yuan Ning heard the whole story, she was very sad for Pang Xiaohe. They said that with a stepmother, there would be a stepdad. Pang Xiaohe was born without a mother, and had to recognize the person who killed his mother as his mother.How sad should Pang Xiaohe be after knowing the truth?

No wonder Pang Xiaohe usually wears dusty clothes, and looks depressed and non-existent.Yuan Ning hugged Pang Xiaohe.

The care of the roommates made Pang Xiaohe burst into tears.He cried and said, "Am I useless? I didn't know anything when I was a child, and I was very close to that woman, so now my grandpa and others don't like me." And the people he once regarded as his mother and brother have always been Watching him joke.

Yuan Ning patted Pang Xiaohe on the back.He still understands the Pang family, they have been merchants for generations, but they are not as prominent as Pang Xiaohe's ancestral family.Pang's father has always been a man who knows how to make money, and the Pang family's property is getting bigger and bigger in his hands. Seeing the situation, Pang Xiaohe's grandparents have the intention of rebuilding the old relationship with the Pang family.

This birthday party is obviously an opportunity to show outsiders their intention to join forces again.

Poor Pang Xiaohe grew up alone, and now his grandfather's family finally wants to get close to him, but it is because he is the hub of interests between the two families - there are not many people who really care about him and really think about him.

Pang Xiaohe lowered his head: "I don't have formal clothes, and I don't know how to dance. Pang Kang said that day is a dance party, and I want to dance the first dance..."

"There are still five days left." Yuan Ning said, "No, I can learn. As for the clothes, don't worry, you can rent them."

"Rent?" Pang Xiaohe was a little surprised.

"Yes, it is very popular in foreign countries now. Celebrities love to rent dresses to attend various banquets and formal occasions. Many people also rent wedding dresses when they get married. After all, they are clothes that are only worn once. It is not worth buying directly." Yuan Ning introduced to Pang Xiaohe, "In fact, there are such stores in China, but many people don't have this need, and those who have this need will not rent because of their face, so not many people know about it. In fact, this is like various performances and various activities. It’s the same as the clothes you wear at the party, you can just rent them for a day or two, there’s nothing wrong with it.”

Pang Xiaohe felt that what Yuan Ning said made sense.

The two roommates said: "Ningning still has more ideas! Let's do it like this!"

Yuan Ning said: "As for dancing, don't worry. My sister is in the drama club. There are many girls who can dance there. I will tell her and ask her to help you find a girl to teach you. If necessary, you can also dance." You can ask her to find someone to attend as your female companion."

Yuan Ning is obviously the youngest, but his voice has a kind of reassuring and convincing magic power, and Pang Xiaohe suddenly sees it when he hears it.

Pang Xiaohe raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and nodded vigorously.He has always had low self-esteem and felt that he was too stupid when he was a child.But now seeing that his grandfather's family wanted to make friends with his family again, Pang Xiaohe vaguely understood something: they didn't think he was stupid or mistrusted others, but that they thought he was useless and unable to bring benefits.

He has no close relatives.

But he has friends who support him and care about him.

Pang Xiaohe still had tears in his eyes, but he laughed again: "Thank you." He will work hard and live up to his friends' concern for him.

After class in the morning, Yuan Ning led Pang Xiaohe to rent formal clothes.Although Yuan Ning has only been in the capital for a few months, he and Zhang Xiuyan have ordered formal clothes several times, and there are still some familiar brand stores.The waiter was a little surprised when Yuan Ning asked to rent clothes, but politely asked them to wait a while before asking the manager if there was any rental service.This brand store is a specialty store of foreign brands. After consulting the main store, the manager personally received Yuan Ning and Pang Xiaohe and took them to choose suitable dresses.Boys' clothes are similar, but the color and accessories need to be combined.Yuan Ning prepared a whole set of clothes for Pang Xiaohe and asked Pang Xiaohe to change.

Pang Xiaohe walked into the fitting room with the clothes, and accidentally turned over the label on the clothes, and was startled. He was always careful when trying on the clothes, for fear of damaging the clothes.Until he walked out of the fitting room, Pang Xiaohe was still worried.What if he gets dirty while wearing it?Or the clothes were worn out—although the Pang family had money, he didn't. He had never seen so much money since he was a child.

Pang Xiaohe was uneasy.

Yuan Ning's eyes lit up.Pang Xiaohe is not short, but he usually wears loose sportswear, which doesn't fit well, so it makes him lose energy.After putting on the formal suit, his standing posture was obviously much more upright, and his head, which was always slightly lowered, was raised straight up because he was afraid of damaging the collar of his shirt.

The whole person has a lot of energy.

Yuan Ning said: "Xiaohe, you are so handsome!" He pushed Pang Xiaohe to the fitting mirror while talking.

Pang Xiaohe's eyes widened involuntarily.Is that him in the mirror?

Yuan Ning looked left and right, touched his chin and said, "I still need to cut my hair, it's too long."

Pang Xiaohe blushed in embarrassment.

Yuan Ning said: "It just so happens that my hair is a bit long, so I'll accompany you to cut it."

Pang Xiaohe obediently followed Yuan Ning to the barber shop, and watched Yuan Ning happily communicate with the barber.Every time Yuan Ning and the barber Qiqi looked at him, Pang Xiaohe didn't know how to move his hands and feet.Soon, he was pushed to the seat by Yuan Ning, and Yuan Ning sat next to him.

The scissors and the razor moved alternately on his head, causing Pang Xiaohe to close his eyes nervously and sit motionless.He didn't open his eyes until Yuan Ning patted him on the shoulder and said "It's ok".It's just that he didn't dare to look in the mirror for the first time, but looked at Yuan Ning, who had her hair cut neatly.

It seems that any hairstyle is especially suitable for Yuan Ning.

Seeing Pang Xiaohe staring blankly at him, Yuan Ning raised his hand and moved Pang Xiaohe's head to the mirror.Seeing himself in the mirror clearly, Pang Xiaohe was stunned again.Without his thick bangs, his beautiful eyebrows and eyes were exposed, and he looked like a stranger.

Yuan Ning gave the barber a thumbs up: "Your craftsmanship is really good!"

The barber looked proud, and happily praised: "This child is also good-looking, but he can't think of leaving his bangs like dark clouds. He has beautiful eyebrows and looks good."

Pang Xiaohe was a little shy, but he already had some courage when he thought of the banquet on Friday.After leaving the barber shop, he asked Yuan Ning to take him to the drama club.

When Zhang Xiuling heard about Pang Xiaohe's experience, she almost exploded with anger, so she almost rolled up her sleeves and did it herself.Later, Zhang Xiuwen stopped her and found a girl who could dance well to teach Pang Xiaohe.

The girl also sympathized with Pang Xiaohe's experience. She came from a good family and generously said that she would be able to be Pang Xiaohe's girlfriend on Friday.At present, the drama club has no drama rehearsals, so Zhang Xiuling made a final decision and freed up the venue for Pang Xiaohe to practice.

All the clouds of sorrow in Pang Xiaohe's eyebrows dissipated.Seeing this, Yuan Ning handed Pang Xiaohe over to Zhang Xiuling with confidence, and went back to class by himself—Pang Xiaohe had no class in the afternoon, but he had electives.

The elective courses are in the big classrooms, and Yuan Ning sits in the front row. He doesn't know what kind of luck he is going to give the teacher the right answer every time.He chose ceramics, which he is familiar with. Every year, he would send a batch of design drafts to the porcelain kiln he cooperates with. They are all pots, pans and the like, and the more elegant ones are flower pots and vases—for Used by ranches and garden shops.

The person in charge of the porcelain kiln beat his chest and said, why can't he be more elegant and artistic, and take it to a competition or sell it for a high price.Yuan Ning thanked Bumin.He has never been an elegant person. Whether it is writing or painting, he always starts from the direction close to life, let alone designing these practical things.

The class of ceramic making has been open for two months. The teacher is a short, fat little old man who is not young anymore, so he does not teach other classes, only this one.He brings a camera to each class, clicks before each class, takes a photo, and keeps it on file. At the end of the semester, he finds a few students to check the number of students in each class, which is a bit scary.

However, the little old man's lectures are lively and interesting, and they are particularly attractive. Not only are the seats full of electives, but also there are many people from other schools in the back three rows. It is one of the ten famous courses of Capital University.

After the big class of this semester started, the little old man's class had an extra link, which was to pick up Yuan Ning in the front row during the half hour that was almost over, either he asked Yuan Ning to answer, or he asked Yuan Ning to ask himself To answer—in a word, let Yuan Ning relentlessly brush up his presence in the big classroom.

"Student Yuan Ning, get up." The little old man looked at his watch and entered the question time as usual.

Yuan Ning: "..."

Does this little old man have a grudge against him_(:з」∠)_

Tucao return to Tucao, Yuan Ning still deal with the little old man's problem honestly.He came to ceramic production because he wanted to have a deeper understanding of this knowledge and reduce the loss of trial firing at the kiln. After listening to a class, he really gained a lot and raised some questions.Without waiting for the little old man to speak, he took the initiative to ask the little old man related questions.

The other students stared at Yuan Ning intently. Firstly, Yuan Ning was handsome, and secondly, whether Yuan Ning was answering or asking questions, it was like helping them sort out the foggy things in a class. Organized and clear.

After question time, a class ends.Yuan Ning was about to leave the big classroom, but the little old man stopped him and refused to let him go.

The little old man's surname is Gan, his name is Gan Yutian, everyone calls him Old Professor Gan.Old Professor Gan asked Yuan Ning to follow him as he walked outside. When he got outside, he said, "I want to see if you are interested in participating in something. The Chinese character processing laboratory of our school has studied for more than ten years, and finally made a Laser phototypesetting system. I don’t understand the principle, but it sounds interesting. I have a book about ceramics that I’m going to print. Don’t come to that machine. You have learned this subject well, and you have a flexible mind. If you are willing to learn, I will recommend you.”

Yuan Ning's eyes lit up.He has played with computers before, and encountered it when he went to see the fourth brother in St. Lorenzo, but the system is completely in English, which is not very friendly to Chinese people, and the machines are too expensive, so it has not become popular in China.But this thing is really convenient, whether it is word processing or data processing, it is very fast. People with foresight realize that this big guy may be of great use—for example, President Zhang of their Calligraphy Association once mentioned over this stuff.

Unexpectedly, the Capital University has established a corresponding research room long ago, and also produced a laser phototypesetting system-you must know that Chinese characters are much more complicated than English, and the digital storage capacity is very large, and the machine load is very heavy.It is not easy to solve this problem.

Capital University really deserves its reputation!

Yuan Ning agreed without hesitation, and took out a sticky note to write down the time and place given by Professor Gan.

After the class is over, the student union still has something to do.Yuan Ning went to have a short meeting, and went upstairs to play two rounds with Li Yanqiu, so as not to be unfamiliar.

After five o'clock, Yuan Ning looked at the sky outside the window, got up and said goodbye to Li Yanqiu.Li Yanqiu watched Yuan Ning leave, opened the drawer and grabbed a handful of bread crumbs, walked to the window and put it on the windowsill.After a while, a group of pigeons flew up with fluttering wings, and leisurely stopped on the window sill to peck at the bread crumbs.

Li Yanqiu leaned against the window and watched the heads of the pigeons bit by bit, his expression gradually softened.Looking down, Yuan Ning had already arrived downstairs, running out like an ordinary boy who fell in love.Li Yanqiu smiled, looked at the pigeon, and said, "The children of today are really enviable."

Yuan Ning didn't know that he couldn't hide anything, so he ran to the bus that happened to arrive at the stop, paid the fare, and didn't sit down, stood for several stops, and got off the bus.There are bare trees with fallen leaves on both sides of the station. A few gray magpies stand on the trees and chirp. They are not afraid of people at all. Occasionally they will fall on the grid road and walk a few steps with their heads held high like people.The wind was already a bit cold, so Yuan Ning wrapped his scarf tightly and walked towards Zhang Xiuyan's work place.

The uncle doorman knew Yuan Ning a long time ago, so he didn't need to register, so he let him in with a smile.Yuan Ning walked a few steps in, and saw Zhang Xiuyan walking out.He ran up: "Brother!"

Zhang Xiuyan paused, stretched out his hand to hold Yuan Ning's palm, and found that Yuan Ning's hand was warm, so he felt relieved: "Why did you come here by yourself again?"

"Brother, in case you have to take a detour to pick me up, you have to go through an elementary school and a junior high school to get to our school, and the road is easy to be blocked." After Yuan Ning finished speaking, he asked, "It's very cold outside, brother, your scarf Woolen cloth?"

Only then did Zhang Xiuyan remember that the scarf was still in the office, and went back to get it with Yuan Ning.As soon as he opened the door, Yuan Ning saw the scarf hanging on the office chair. He went up to pick it up, tied it carefully for Zhang Xiuyan, and said with a smile: "Brother, you are always a little confused about your own affairs."

Zhang Xiuyan said, "It's just a trivial matter."

Yuan Ning said: "Yes, it's just a trivial matter, it doesn't matter," Yuan Ning said happily, "If you don't remember, I'll just remember it!"

Zhang Xiuyan said "Hum".

Yuan Ning: "Brother, your ears are red again!"

Zhang Xiuyan: "...shut up."
