Teacher Liu has been Gu Yantang's counselor for more than three years, but he just came back after giving birth to a child a few days ago after taking maternity leave. Ordinary children are not as good as celebrities, and they are round and fat from head to toe.

Coupled with a particularly rich round face and a particularly big ponytail, boys at the same level gave her the nickname "Fat Liu".But in fact, she is very considerate of students, has a pleasant face, and is very kind to people.

Gu Yantang seldom skipped classes, and he didn't fail any exams, so there was basically nothing for the teacher to worry about.

He has not been a student cadre, so naturally he has few opportunities to deal with the counselors, except that Mr. Liu will praise him a few times when granting scholarships and let him continue to work hard.Over the past few years, Gu Yantang basically didn't have much communication with her.

"Ms. Liu, what do you need from me today?"

"Have you taken TOEFL and IELTS?"

"I didn't take the TOEFL test, but I got a score of 7.5 in IELTS." Gu Yantang didn't plan to go abroad, but he thought it would be a good thing to have more certificates, and maybe he would enter a foreign company in the future. Isn't the salary in a foreign company high?I spent a semester preparing for the IELTS test in my sophomore year.

"Oh, that's amazing, and it meets the conditions."

"what?"

Mr. Liu handed him a red-headed document from the Law School of T University with the signature.

She said with a smile: "This year, the registration of foreign exchange students in our law school has started. There are only two places in the entire law school. I checked that according to the school's various requirements for grades and other aspects, only seven people in our school meet the registration criteria. .Of course, you are the most promising of them all!"

Gu Yantang was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Which university is the exchange?"

"The University of Pittsburgh in the United States. Although it is not as famous as the Ivy League schools, but in terms of law, it ranks very high even in the United States. Although the time is not long, only one year, it can broaden your horizons and Enriching your resume when looking for a job in the future will be very helpful for both postgraduate entrance examinations and job hunting in the future.”

"Then—" Gu Yantang hesitated, and continued to ask: "The exchange fee for that year should be very expensive, right?"

"You don't have to worry about this. After all, your grades and usual performance depend on that. The public-funded quota is definitely for you."

Teacher Liu handed him a blank form after finishing speaking, and reminded him: "Gu Yantang, I have also heard about your family's financial situation. But there are not many opportunities to change one's destiny in one's lifetime. Don't Because some temporary difficulties in front of us have delayed the future."

Gu Yantang took the form and promised, "Thank you, Mr. Liu, I'll go back and think about it."

"You must think about it carefully. Don't worry about the money. I'll help you see if you can apply for the school's student loans and grants later."

Gu Yantang thanked Teacher Liu again, then bowed again, and left the office.

I opened the door of the office and saw that there were several students standing outside the door, queuing up.It is estimated that they are the few students who meet the application requirements that Mr. Liu said.

Gu Yantang took the application and sat on the bench next to the library for a while, then decided to go back to the dormitory.

Gu Yantang, who hadn't returned to the dormitory for a long time, unexpectedly appeared in the dormitory, and the other three boys in the dormitory were very surprised.At that time, He Haolin was talking on the phone with his new girlfriend.The other two are playing the most popular online game among young people.

Gu Yantang didn't care whether He Haolin was willing or not, and directly pulled him down from the dormitory on the seventh floor.

It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon. It was neither the time for going to school nor the time for lunch. There were very few students walking on the road.

The two sat in the picturesque bamboo garden, and Gu Yantang succinctly explained how the counselor asked him to sign up as an exchange student.

He Haolin: "I'm definitely going. There's nothing to discuss about it. It's such a good thing. I want to go, but it's not my turn."

"But this is the United States, an evil capitalist country, and the consumption is so expensive!"

"I said, are you stupid!" He Haolin touched Gu Yantang's forehead in disbelief, and sighed, "I don't have a fever!"

Gu Yantang: "..."

He Haolin continued to educate in a serious manner: "Think about it, based on your grades, it is definitely at the public expense. The public expense has already saved hundreds of thousands of tuition fees, okay?"

"But the cost of living is also very expensive!"

"I really want to scold you. Now you are working part-time all day long. You really don't have enough living expenses, so you can't go to the United States to work? Does Obama's daughter go to the restaurant to wash dishes? You are a big boy with good hands and feet, and you are afraid of starving to death. ?”

He Haolin scolded quite loudly, so big that the eyes of the two girls passing by the bamboo garden kept looking over here, probably thinking that the two of them didn't seem to be good at each other, and if they quarreled like this, they would start fighting ah.But Gu Yantang had to admit that what He Haolin said made a lot of sense.

When returning home, Gu Yantang passed by Wal-Mart, and went to buy groceries for the past two days.While shopping for vegetables, Gu Yantang was still thinking about the exchange student.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the cost of living was too expensive. The biggest reason for his hesitation was that he couldn't let go of the person who was coming home from get off work.

All along, the emotion between him and Wen Shu has maintained a delicate balance.All along, he has played the more active role, which of course has something to do with the personalities of the two.

Compared to Wen Shu who is reserved most of the time, Gu Yantang will take the initiative to attack everything he wants in life.This is especially true for relationships.

Of course, Gu Yantang himself didn't mind this.Feelings cannot be weighed on the scales at any time like the commodities sold in this supermarket, to measure whether it is fair or not, and whether all my efforts are worth it.

Gu Yantang didn't know when he read a book that said, "True love doesn't ask whether it's worth it or not."He quite agreed with this sentence, so he remembered it at that time.

But even if he thought so, he was not sure whether Wen Shu had the same idea as himself.He really couldn't imagine what would happen to Wen Shu if he really left for a year.

After all, even if I was watching him closely by my side, there was an ex-boyfriend with a strong sense of presence who would sabotage him at every turn.What's even more hateful is that after saying goodbye that day with great fanfare, it took a long time for him to be reluctant to leave. Probably only Wen Shu couldn't see what kind of heart he had.

Gu Yantang bought the groceries with a heavy heart, and when he walked home, he kept thinking, if he really went to the United States for a year, how many times could he come back, once or twice for a year-long long-distance relationship?Can Wen Shu take good care of herself?

With such poor cooking skills, he probably can only order takeaway every day, right?The takeaway seasoning is heavy, and the oil used is not good.Gu Yantang recalled how he had just gone to Wen Shu's house. The bedroom was a mess, and he probably had to call a part-time worker to clean it...

Although on the surface it seemed that Wen Shu couldn't do without him, the actual situation was not like that at all.Even though Wen Shu doesn't know how to cook, and his ability to take care of himself is surprisingly poor, Gu Yantang knows that Wen Shu can live a good life by himself.

Isn't there a word called "no desires are strong"?Gu Yantang knew that although Wen Shu looked gentle on the surface and had a seemingly kind and friendly personality, he was a person who had no desires but was strong when it came to emotions.

But I am different, just thinking about the difference of even a few days can make him very upset.What's more, it's as long as a year?Thinking of not being able to see his face, not being able to touch his skin for a year, and finding that he was in a foreign country when he woke up, and not being able to hug the person next to his pillow, Gu Yantang felt that it was not worthwhile to leave his hometown and go to the United States this year.

To broaden your horizons, to have a good-looking resume, to have a bright future... Gu Yantang felt that even if he wasted this opportunity, he would still be a person who would have a brilliant life.

He pinched the application form for exchange students in his schoolbag again, then took it out and threw it into the trash can at the exit of the supermarket.

Now that he has decided not to go, he might as well keep Wen Shu from knowing.If Wen Shu knew, he would definitely say the same thing as the counselor.

It's like whenever we discuss studies, work, or the future, Wen Shu will unconsciously change his expression. At this time, he seems to be no longer Gu Yantang's lover, but now he is more like a senior. , more like a teacher, like an adult educating himself as someone who has experienced it.

It's not that Gu Yantang would hate Wen Shu like this, he wouldn't hate any of Wen Shu's appearances.But just like Wen Shu always advised him to take less part-time jobs, of course he knew that Wen Shu was doing it for his own good, but intuitively he just didn't like it.

In the dead of night, after analyzing his heart several times, Gu Yantang realized that he was indeed a bit machismo.Since Wen Shu is not a woman, the term machismo is not very accurate.

But the kind of help and charity from the top down to others is hard not to stimulate the sensitive self-esteem of a poor kid in a low position, even if the help provided by the person concerned is completely from the heart.

After realizing this clearly, Gu Yantang himself felt quite boring.Not atmospheric, not at all atmospheric.

But he was in the present moment, and he really couldn't think of any better way to deal with it.

The only good thing is that there is still a predictable future that looks brighter.He is now a junior and will graduate in less than two years.Even if he doesn't take the postgraduate entrance examination, Gu Yantang is confident to find a good job with his own excellence.

Then he and Wen Shu walked on for a long time.This is my greatest wish right now.

Gu Yantang made lobster noodles tonight.After stir-frying the crayfish with various seasonings of pepper, pepper, star anise and cinnamon, pour in a whole bottle of Budweiser for a while.When the lobster is almost eaten, dip the large pieces of hand-rolled noodles into the thick soup to fully absorb the delicious taste.

Although the taste is a bit heavy and not very healthy, Wen Shu likes it very much.

Wen Shu was busy with unfinished cases during the day, so after eating, all his attention was focused on the computer screen in front of him.

There is no way, the recent case of using children to steal in Dao County, Hunan Province involved too many people, and Su Xueqi had signed up for the postgraduate exam, so Wen Shu naturally wanted to promote the spirit of mutual assistance and friendship in the midst of intense preparations recently.During this period of time, he was almost always acting as an envoy for two people.

Until Gu Yantang finished washing the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, watered the flowers and plants on the balcony, and then mopped the house inside and out again.Then sat beside him, resting his chin in his hand and watching him silently for almost half an hour, Wen Shu finally yawned, stretched his waist, and looked at his watch that it was almost 09:30 .

Wen Shu looked at the big boy who had been sitting by his side for an unknown amount of time, and asked, "Did you have anything to do today?"

"No." Gu Yantang shook his head.

"Are you sure you don't? If you don't, I'll take a shower."

After Wen Shu came out of the bathroom, he found that Gu Yantang was still on the sofa in a daze.

This time, he confirmed that the kid really had something on his mind.

While wiping his hair with a towel, he asked, "what's the matter, let's talk."

Gu Yantang stared at him for a while, probably used a lot of willpower to control his hands not to go up to help him dry his hair.

Seeing that he took out two cards from his wallet, Wen Shu solemnly pushed them in front of him with both hands.

"This is all my savings. One has [-] yuan on it, which I earned from working part-time in the past two years. Another one has [-] yuan on it, [-] yuan is earned from extra money, and [-] yuan is borrowed."

"What are you doing here?" Wen Shu asked in shock after digesting the information in Gu Yantang's words after a long time.

"I want to buy a house with you." Gu Yantang replied.

Gu Yantang thought about it secretly for a long time, and this was probably the most likely way he could think of for Wen Shu to accept his money.
