[Now] I want to hold your hand tightly

In a blink of an eye, the seven-day holiday of the Spring Festival is over.

Zhou Jisheng was on duty in the hospital for the first three days of the seven days, and had two surgeries in the last four days, with basically no rest time.After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he took a little leisure.The university was about to start school at this time, and Xu Haoran came back on the tenth day of the first lunar month, but he heard that Zhou Jisheng Hospital was busy, so he stayed at school to prepare lessons and was also writing his thesis.

When Zhou Jisheng was free, Zhou Jisheng immediately asked Xu Haoran to meet.The two briefly talked about their respective situations in the next month or so, and gave each other New Year's gifts, and then began to discuss the decoration.

Xu Haoran saw that Zhou Jisheng was always worrying about the decoration during the Chinese New Year. The house Zhou Jisheng bought was close to Jingnan University. Xu Haoran was teaching at the university and not as busy as Zhou Jisheng was at the hospital. Xu Haoran said to Zhou Jisheng After the renovation, the work of supervising the work was handed over to him, as long as Zhou Jisheng had time to take a look at it.Seeing Xu Haoran's resolute statement, Zhou Jisheng was very moved, and nodded in agreement with Xu Haoran.

In early March, Jingnan University students returned to campus.There is already a touch of spring in the quaint campus. Students walk in twos and threes on the campus path, chatting about the anecdotes during the winter vacation.

There are still a few days before the official start of class. The school's Academic Affairs Office sent the class schedule for this semester to each teacher's mailbox. Xu Haoran checked the class schedule for this semester and started to arrange the daily time to go to the new house to supervise the decoration.

Xu Haoran was rated as an associate professor at the end of last year. In addition to teaching undergraduates this semester, he also needs to teach the first-year courses. In addition, the associate professors of Jingnan University also need to teach public courses in other colleges.Xu Haoran looked at the words "Law School ([-])" written on the timetable, first he gave a strange surprise, and then he immediately figured out why the class that was originally scheduled to be held in the School of Science was arranged in the School of Law.

Compared with the class schedule of last semester, Xu Haoran has four or five more classes this year, but he can still spare about two hours a day to visit the new house.The day before the decoration team was going to enter the new house, Xu Haoran briefly talked about his schedule with Zhou Jisheng on the phone. Xu Haoran said "Thanks for your hard work".

Xu Haoran listened to Zhou Jisheng's tired voice on the phone, thinking that Zhou Jisheng had worked much harder than him.He didn't tell Zhou Jisheng what was in his heart, and after a few words of pleasantries with Zhou Jisheng, Zhou Jisheng hung up the phone and hurried to eat.On the other end of the phone, Zhou Jisheng happily picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth, he chewed and said, "Hao Ran, are you caring about me?"

"Your reflex arc is too long." Xu Haoran complained and hung up the phone. He didn't realize that the corners of his mouth had already curled up in an arc.

Next, Xu Haoran's life was full and busy.Since Lin Yihan sent a text message to Xu Haoran at the end of last semester, Xu Haoran received another text message from Lin Yihan three months later, the second month after he and Zhou Jisheng started to decorate their new house.

April is the season of warm spring and flowers blooming.

The students on campus walked briskly past Xu Haoran, and occasionally a few students who knew Xu Haoran would greet Xu Haoran politely as they passed by Xu Haoran.

Xu Haoran responded with a smile one by one, but his mood was not as bright as the sunshine above his head.It was not until he walked out of the campus of Jingnan University that Xu Haoran let out all the sullen breath in his heart.Lin Yihan began to contact Xu Haoran frequently again, and Lin Yihan would invite Xu Haoran to the campus from time to time after the public classes of the law school were over.Xu Haoran refused at first, until Lin Yihan said: "I know, you don't like me. I don't want you to misunderstand, and I don't like you either. The reason we are together now is only my father and Professor Nie's idea. Maintain the line of interest between Professor Lin and Professor Nie, I hope you can bear with it." Xu Haoran stared at the weak girl in front of him dumbfounded, and nodded silently.

The decoration went smoothly, and Zhou Jisheng and Xu Haoran often supervised the work together, seeing more and more things in their new house, Zhou Jisheng asked Xu Haoran with emotion: "Haoran, are we really together? ?”

Xu Haoran gave a "hmm" and then took Zhou Jisheng's hand.Together, although the previous process was bumpy and long, Xu Haoran hopes that the road ahead can be smooth all the way.

Time flies like a white horse, and slipped through the fingers in a blink of an eye.In the blink of an eye, the summer vacation is here, and the decoration of the new house is all over.Zhou Jisheng said to Xu Haoran that Xu Haoran had worked so hard during this period, and he wanted to thank Xu Haoran for a good meal. Xu Haoran muttered that this was also his home, shouldn't it be right to work hard for his own home?But that being said, he still had a good meal with Zhou Jisheng, and then the two of them ran to the flower market non-stop and bought a dozen pots of green plants and sent them to the new house.

"I'm going to move in in two months, do you want to celebrate again?" Zhou Jisheng put the green plants back and forth and looked at the new house four or five times, like a guest visiting for the first time curious.

Standing in the living room, Xu Haoran watched Zhou Jisheng poke his head into the kitchen for a while, then ran to the study to pull the bookcase, and then lay sprawled on the big bed in the bedroom and shouted "comfortable", while pulling Xu Haoran for a while. He sat on the sofa with his buttocks and hugged Xu Haoran and said that they would watch TV like this in the future.Taking advantage of Zhou Jisheng's excitement, Xu Haoran teased, "Would you like to go to the balcony to see the sunshine?"

Zhou Jisheng stood up from the sofa suddenly, dragged Xu Haoran up from the sofa, and dragged Xu Haoran to the balcony.In a few months, the environment of the community has changed a lot, the environment is quiet, quite warm and elegant.Zhou Jisheng lay on the balcony and looked down, and said to Xu Haoran: "If I come back late in the future, will you stand here and wait for me to come back?"

"I still have to cook. If I'm in a daze here, the food will be mushy." Xu Haoran barely supported his forehead.

"Then I'll come back soon!" Zhou Jisheng said with a smile.

"How early?"

"6 points?"

"I thought you'd come back at 4:[-] to buy groceries with me."

"Hao Ran, if you invite me, I will try to come back as soon as possible."

"Can you let go of those patients in the hospital?"

"I can't..." The man who had just sworn off the promise immediately slumped his shoulders, and then hugged Xu Haoran again, "As long as it's a day off, I'll accompany you to buy groceries, okay?"

Xu Haoran rolled his eyes at Zhou Jisheng, can he say no?

During the summer vacation, Xu Haoran went back to his hometown. His mother with gray temples cooked several dishes that Xu Haoran liked to eat. While adding vegetables to Xu Haoran's bowl, he asked Xu Haoran how he was doing in the city.

Xu Haoran ate the food cooked by his mother, and replied: "Mom, don't worry, I'm doing well."

Xu's mother nodded in relief, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.Although Xu Haoran kept saying that he was doing well during the Chinese New Year, but ever since receiving Xu Haoran's phone call years ago, Xu's mother has noticed that Xu Haoran is not having a happy life.During the Chinese New Year, Xu's mother asked some indirect questions. Although Xu Haoran kept hiding his words to keep his mother from worrying, the mother could still sense that her son had something on his mind.This time when Xu Haoran came back, Xu's mother found that Xu Haoran's mood was completely different from that of the Chinese New Year. She was slightly relieved, and she also wanted to know if her son met someone or something in the city.

"It's good to live a good life. If you are healthy and happy, mom will be happy." Mother Xu wiped away her tears and said to Xu Haoran.

Xu Haoran reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of his mother's eyes.

September marks the beginning of a new life for some, and the final year of their careers for others.

This is Zhao Geyi's last academic year as the dean of the Faculty of Liberal Arts of Jingnan University. He will retire in June next year. This academic year is also the most difficult year for the professors of the Faculty of Liberal Arts.After an open recruitment process, three people signed up to take over as the dean of the Faculty of Arts, and fierce competition was about to start between the three.Although other teachers in the Faculty of Liberal Arts do not need to compete, their standing will also affect the final result of the dean candidate.

The battle for the dean in full swing was officially launched in the Faculty of Liberal Arts of Keenan University. The three dean candidates began to compete with all their strengths, and the atmosphere in the Faculty of Liberal Arts became oppressive and dignified.

As one of the dean candidates, Xu Haoran, who is the direct disciple of Professor Nie Mi, naturally cannot avoid this fight without gunpowder. Recently, Lin Yihan has contacted him frequently, and Professor Lin, who supports Nie Mi, often invites Xu Haoran to his home as a guest. After Xu Haoran shied away a few times, Nie Mi reminded Xu Haoran not to follow his own temper, so Xu Haoran had no choice but to bite the bullet and deal with the Lin family's father and daughter.

Xu Haoran's life at school was not peaceful, but when he returned to his and Zhou Jisheng's home, his exhausted heart could always be soothed.

The time Zhou Jisheng came back at night was uncertain, but he would be home around seven o'clock.Xu Haoran made meat stuffed with green peppers, boiled broccoli in clear water, scrambled eggs with bitter gourd, and a pot of winter melon ribs soup.

Zhou Jisheng came back around 06:30 today. Xu Haoran was watching the fire simmering soup in the kitchen. Zhou Jisheng called Xu Haoran from the entrance. Seeing that Xu Haoran did not agree, Zhou Jisheng put on his slippers and walked lightly into the kitchen. Approaching Xu Haoran, gently wrapped his arms around Xu Haoran's waist, rested his chin on Xu Haoran's shoulder, and asked softly: "The pork rib soup smells so good."

Only then did Xu Haoran come back to his senses: "Are you back?"

Zhou Jisheng noticed that Xu Haoran was distracted just now, and stretched his head to look at Xu Haoran's expression. Xu Haoran's brows were locked together, and the light in his eyes was not as bright as usual.

"What happened?" Zhou Jisheng asked after turning off the fire for Xu Haoran.

"It's nothing, it's just that there are a lot of classes recently, and I'm tired." Xu Haoran didn't want to bring home the troubles from school, so he picked up the soup pot on the stove and told Zhou Jisheng to wash his hands and eat.

Zhou Jisheng found that Xu Haoran was always restless recently, he followed Xu Haoran to the dinner table, and asked worriedly: "Did the old dean make things difficult for you again?"

Xu Haoran forced a smile, and denied, "No, the old dean is about to retire, so it's not that hard to think about it."

Since it's not the old dean, it's Xu Haoran's teacher.Zhao Geyi and Zhou Jisheng's father, Zhou Bo, are best friends. Before Zhou Jisheng and Zhou Bo got into trouble, he had heard Zhao Geyi comment on Nie Mi. Zhao Geyi said that Nie Mi was only interested in profit. There is a bureaucratic style of study.Later, Zhou Jisheng also came into contact with Nie Mi, and he didn't like Nie Mi very much. Xu Haoran also told him that Nie Mi would often ask Xu Haoran to judge the papers of his students, but he himself did nothing and only cared about finding ways to get promoted. .
