Yuan Ning seems destined not to be idle.Professor Qin and Sima Hong called and said they couldn't come back for the time being. They wanted to lead the organization of an archaeological team to start researching the records in ancient books. At the same time, they also robbed Yuan Ning and asked Yuan Ning to help solve the funding problem.

Yuan Ning got used to it long ago, so she agreed and continued to complete the public classes this semester resignedly.As a result, "History Lecture Hall" also had problems. After the program was broadcast, the program was very popular. Yuan Ning, a young guest, became a highlight of the program, and the discussion remained high.Producer Qu's goal of setting a "benchmark" has been achieved-but things have followed.

Since the guest invited for the second issue was not Yuan Ning, the mail box of "History Lecture Hall" was flooded with letters from the audience, and the audience hotline of the TV station was also bombarded with related calls, all asking why the guest was replaced. , not as good as the first issue.The guests of the second episode are also chosen from thousands of people, and their professional foundation is not bad, but they can’t let go when they are on the show, and the commentators like to drop their book bags. Understand.

The audience began to protest.The guest read the complaint letter from the audience and was in an extremely bad mood, so he found an excuse to quit. Seeing that even the guest couldn't withstand the pressure, the other guests also gave birth to the idea of ​​quitting.It's true that they want to fight for this opportunity, but they don't want to jump into the pit at all!

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Producer Qu had no choice but to find Yuan Ning again and ask Yuan Ning to come back to save the scene.Even if one episode a month is fine, it is better than the current program group being bombarded by the audience and making the invited guests discouraged.

Yuan Ning didn't expect to be able to do such a thing, after thinking about it, he agreed.He even accepted Professor Qin's public lectures, so why hesitate in the last program?The skin is usually getting thicker and thicker!

Fortunately, although the task is a temporary stop, the two have something in common, so they won't take up too much Yuan Ning's time.Yuan Ning was able to prepare at Lingquan at night, which was equivalent to twice as long as the others, so it was not impossible for Yuan Ning to cope.

On the weekend, Yuan Ning went to climb the mountain with the people from Zhang Xiuyan's unit according to the original plan.Others are already very familiar with Yuan Ning, a permanent family member, and they will not get used to it if they change people one day.

At the end of autumn, there is nothing to see in the mountain scenery, but the weather is clear and crisp in autumn.Arriving at the foot of the mountain early, everyone is carrying a backpack, ready to go up the mountain to spread a blanket, eat, drink and chat on the spot.Zhang Xiuyan and Yuan Ning walked behind the climbing team, admiring the autumn scenery along the way. Yuan Ning did not forget to pay attention to the surrounding plants to see if he could get some special seeds for the ginseng baby to play with.

Wearing casual clothes, Zhang Xiuyan walked slowly with Yuan Ning, his gaze fell on the somewhat barren mountains in the distance.

The mountains in the north are different from the mountains in the south. Even in autumn and winter, the mountains in the south will not look too deserted. When you go to the north, there are either fir pines of one color, or bare hills with all the leaves showing the land. .Yuan Ning got some very good pine nuts, and didn't plan to take them back for frying, so he directly peeled one and brought it to Zhang Xiuyan's mouth.

Zhang Xiuyan stuttered, and dragged Yuan Ning to catch up with the large army.

It was colder on the mountain than down the mountain, and the air was exceptionally clear, already infected with the coldness of late autumn and early winter.On a rare day of leisure, the younger one ran to an open place and yelled a few times, with a smile on his face, he happily listened to the loud echoes echoing around him.

Yuan Ning sat down and talked with other people. He heard some people say that he went to the north to pick cotton, some said that he went to the west to raise yaks, and some said that he went to the coast to develop. Each has its own splendor and fun.It is a rare fate that people from all over the world can get together. Yuan Ning listened with a smile, looked at Zhang Xiuyan beside him from time to time, and occasionally encouraged Zhang Xiuyan to share some things he encountered in Huaiqing.

The group chatted happily, and they went down the mountain to find a place to eat at noon.After relaxing for a long time, Zhang Xiuyan felt much more at ease, and drove home with Yuan Ning.

Unexpectedly, when he drove the car near his residence, Yuan Ning saw a familiar figure in a flower shop by the roadside.It is not appropriate to say that he is familiar, after all, he has not seen this person for a long time!

This person is Cousin Ryan.Ryan was picking flowers in the flower shop. He picked them carefully, as if every flower in front of him had a life of its own.Maybe because he noticed Yuan Ning's gaze, Laian raised his head from among the flowers, picked up a crimson rose, and smiled at Yuan Ning.

Yuan Ning's heart skipped a beat.He asked Zhang Xiuyan to park the car on the side of the road, and said to Zhang Xiuyan, "I saw Uncle Laian."

Zhang Xiuyan frowned and turned to look outside the car.

The smile on Ryan's face was wider, and he lit the rose in his hand towards them.

Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan looked at each other, opened the door and got out of the car, ran over, and said hello to Ryan: "When did you return to China, uncle?"

Ryan smiled slightly, his gray-blue eyes were like the sky after the rain, with a trace of gray and gloomy, and a trace of translucency.He asked the girl in the florist to help wrap the flowers he picked, and soon, a bouquet of deep red roses was held in his arms.

Ryan still looked so meticulous, even the direction in which every strand of hair deflected seemed to have been carefully calculated.He looked at Yuan Ning carefully, and saw that Yuan Ning's body had been raised, and he could no longer see the childish appearance of the past, so he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.He smiled and handed the rose in his hand to Yuan Ning: "It's for you, take me to your house for a while."

Yuan Ning paused, and led Lai An out.Zhang Xiuyan also got out of the car, standing beside the car frowning, looking at Yuan Ning who was holding flowers and Laian who was wearing a white suit.

Ryan's smile deepened: "I haven't seen you for so long, Xiu Yan, you still frown so much." He sat in the car generously, and invited Yuan Ning to sit in the back seat together, so that he could chat more with him.

Before they could speak, Ryan talked about where he had been for the past few years.It turned out that he followed the medical team along the equator for more than half of the time, saw a lot of new things, and did a lot of experiments that could not be done in other places. He gained a lot and was almost assassinated.

Laian's eloquence was obviously very good, even though Zhang Xiuyan and Yuan Ning didn't talk much along the way, the atmosphere didn't look weird.When they arrived at the residence of Zhang Xiuyan and Yuan Ning, Lai An seemed quite interested, looked inside and out before returning to the living room, and said: "You don't even have a vase at home, don't you usually send flowers to each other? ?”

Yuan Ning said: "The flowers grow well, there is no need to cut them and put them in a vase." This kind of thing is very romantic for other couples, but it is not necessary for him and Zhang Xiuyan.

Ryan raised his hand and flicked the rose that Yuan Ning was still holding in his arms: "Wouldn't it be boring to stay with a young and mature guy like Xiu Yan?"

Zhang Xiuyan looked up at Ryan, frowning even tighter.

Yuan Ning found a container, put the rose in his arms back to keep it, and turned to make tea for Laian.No matter what kind of doubts he has about Ryan, before everything is clear, Ryan is a guest.

Ryan turned on the TV, switched to several channels, and saw that one was broadcasting the first episode of "History Lecture Hall", so he couldn't help but put down the remote control, and watched it together with Zhang Xiuyan.

Before Yuan Ning came out, Lai An looked at the calm young man on the screen, raised his eyes to Zhang Xiuyan who was silent, and asked with a smile: "The last time I met Ning Ning, she was so young and timid. His eyes were red. I didn't expect that after a few years, he would become so outstanding—so outstanding that people couldn't take their eyes off."

Zhang Xiuyan stared at Ryan.

Ryan said: "Don't you want to hide such an outstanding lover from anyone to see?" Ryan's brows and eyes were full of smiles, but every sentence he uttered pierced people's hearts, "I want to make his good Hidden, I want to hide his excellence, I want to hide his whole being—don’t let him touch anyone, don’t let anyone enter his heart, let him only have you in his heart. Xiu Yan, you Do you really want to do this? You are wary of everyone around Ning Ning, and feel that anyone may come between you and Ning Ning. You look tough and upright, but in fact you have more thoughts hidden in your heart than anyone else. Deeper than anyone else—am I right?" Ryan glanced at the image on the TV, "It's a pity that he was still seen by so many people, and his excellence has moved many people's hearts."

Yuan Ning took out the flowers and tea leaves, and immediately noticed that the atmosphere between Zhang Xiuyan and Laian was a little weird.He sat next to Zhang Xiuyan, looked at Ryan, then at Zhang Xiuyan, and said, "Why are you watching the replay of this?"

Ryan said: "I haven't read it." He smiled and looked at Yuan Ning, "Xiu Yan is so busy, I'm afraid I haven't seen it yet, right?"

Yuan Ning smiled: "Brother went to watch the scene as an audience, so naturally he didn't need to watch it on TV."

Ryan frowned.He met Yuan Ning's magnanimous and bright gaze, and narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that the child had really grown up a lot.Thinking that Yuan Ning was able to deceive him with an innocent appearance a few years ago, Ryan was not so surprised.He said calmly: "I never expected that you and Xiu Yan could really get together, and it's not in vain for me to wake you up."

Zhang Xiuyan: "..."

Yuan Ning already knew what kind of "birthday gift" Laian gave Zhang Xiuyan.It was the sketchbook that Laian gave Zhang Xiuyan that made Zhang Xiuyan determined to distance himself from him, maintaining a "brother" relationship with him that was neither far nor close, and never crossed the line.Having passed Mr. Zhang's test, Yuan Ning generously admitted his relationship with Zhang Xiuyan: "I should thank my cousin."

Ryan and Yuan Ning looked at each other.

Yuan Ning said: "If there were no years of struggle and hesitation, there would be no final persistence and courage." Now move forward with such unwavering determination.”
