The Passion of an Academic Rising Star

One day during a lunch break, Han Shixiu suddenly heard a girl in the laboratory complaining full of resentment and anger.

Han Shixiu turned his head curiously, and found that Hong Li's best friend, a master's student in the School of Journalism, would often come to the laboratory to wander around.

As the only girl, Hong Li always has some privileges here...

"I'm telling you," the girl said loudly, "all the businessmen are perverts!"

Huh?All businessmen are perverts?

Han Shixiu pricked up his ears.

He put down the mouse, slowly approached the girl, widened his eyes and asked, "Why are all the businessmen perverted?"

"Wow..." Hong Li said, "What kind of wind is blowing today? You are actually interested in this kind of gossip?"

"Haha," said another, "it's raining red."

"Han Shixiu," the most annoying Qi Fang became annoying again: "Did you take the wrong medicine? Did you take too much medicine? Forgot to take it?"

Han Shixiu ignored these people, looked at the girl intently, and repeated: "Why are all the businessmen perverted?"

Han Shixiu felt that Zou Sijiu was a very good friend, and he didn't see anything worthy of anger.

Although, at the beginning, Han Shixiu really hated Zou Sijiu, because he stole his name and often laughed at himself, but—later—it seemed that he didn’t hate him so much... After that, he felt that Zou Sijiu was pretty good. people... um...

On the one hand, Han Shixiu wanted to refute the girl's unscrupulous point of view, because Zou Sijiu could not be classified into that category.

On the other hand, Han Shixiu hoped that this girl could say one or two things, so that he could understand Zou Sijiu better.Zou Sijiu seldom tells Han Shixiu what he thinks, and always seems to be quite indifferent, but sometimes Han Shixiu really hopes to see through Zou Sijiu's mood.

"Didn't I have a relationship with the boss of that real estate company for several months!" Hong Li's friend seemed to be still angry.

"That's right." Hong Li answered, "At that time we all said that you were capable and lucky to find a diamond king."

"Drill your ass!"

"Why don't you drill?" Hong Li said, "1m tall, handsome, super rich, didn't you say you have seven houses in City B, two of which are villas, how many friends envy you, XXX I also said that you are an intern reporter in a financial magazine, you are super beautiful and have a good temperament, I knew you would marry a real estate boss or something."

"Young hair!" The girl couldn't help shouting again: "That's a pervert! Later, even I followed the pervert!"

"how?"

"He only knows about money." The girl said: "Only making money can make him happy. Every time he took the initiative to send me a text message, the content was about what project and how much money he made. When I said something else, that person didn't care at all. Interest. If the income of any business is low, I will not speak and sulk for a few days without saying a word. It is a living air pressure cyclone, and I can’t coax it.”

"..."

"I stay up late to work every day. A handsome young man, with dark circles under his eyes every day, his face is sallow and sallow, he has no energy at all, and he looks very tired. We go out on a date. If we go swimming, he will be by the pool Asleep, if he goes to the cinema, he will fall asleep in the cinema, if he goes shopping, he never goes in, he just stands at the door of the store and smokes! The same goes for traveling, he doesn’t even open the box when he leaves, Why come and go back?"

"..."

"Because of too much pressure, I have a very irritable personality and scolded at every turn. Once I took the key to open the door, but when I didn't open it at first, he yelled in the corridor, why can't you even open the door!"

"..."

"He also hates those who make more money than him. Last time I interviewed XX from XX Real Estate, he scolded XX when he heard about it, saying why he couldn't do it, why he started his business purely by luck, and even scolded XX. Why do I act like this when I am a reporter, and I even flatter this kind of person. Tell me, how can a man be so small?"

"This……"

"Then I also became abnormal and scolded him every day. That time he was very happy to send me a text message, saying how much money I made. I replied four words to him-"Go to hell." "

"..."

"I told him, why don't you dig a hole and bury yourself with money?"

"Then..." Hong Li said, "Didn't you talk to him?"

"What's the use of talking about it?" the girl said, "How can this love of money be changed? Every time I talk about this, he tells me that it's for the future of both of us. I just say I need it." with your money?"

"Hey..." Hong Li said, "It's really unnecessary, you're so capable..."

"It's a breakup anyway."

"Huh?" Hong Li said, "Really?"

"Well, it really can't be done. In the end, there is no love left, only resentment. And... I also moved on."

"……what?"

"It feels right this time." The beautiful girl said, "My mother's friend's child is a graduate student in XX Polytechnic, and he is one year younger than me. My mother asked me to introduce someone to him. I didn't think too much about it, I have a boyfriend who is one year older. I ate a few times and chatted for a few days, and then... Anyway, I feel very happy with him, and I plan to follow him all the time."

"Ah?" Hong Li couldn't believe it: "You're not crazy, are you? In the past few times you were... um... boss..."

"Bosses are perverts." The other party said again with certainty: "Everyone thinks I'm crazy and calls me stupid. But what I'm after is true love! It's true love!"

Hong Li smiled and pinched the other party's face: "You are a good girl, you will be happy."

It's true love again——

Han Shixiu was a little confused.

I didn't realize much before, why all of a sudden, everyone around me is chasing true love——

……

——Zou Sijiu came to school again at night.

Han Shixiu and Zhou Moqun's thesis was at the bottleneck stage, so Han Shixiu didn't have much time to talk to Zou Sijiu, and just curled up on the bed.

Zou Sijiu also got on the bed and leaned against the wall with his long legs dangling in the air.

Han Shixiu put the entire stack of books on the side, flipping through them with his fingers.

"Zou Sijiu..." After a while, Han Shixiu said to Zou Sijiu, "Is my water glass on the table?"

"Oh." Zou Sijiu turned his head and glanced: "Yes."

Han Shixiu was sitting by the window, Zou Sijiu was at the end of the bed, next to the table.

Han Shixiu waited for a long time, but Zou Sijiu didn't make another move, so he had no choice but to say, "Hand me the water glass, please? I'm a little thirsty."

"No." Zou Sijiu refused without thinking.

"what……"

Zou Sijiu continued, "Take it yourself."

Han Shixiu stared blankly at Zou Sijiu, not understanding why such a simple request was rejected.

If you want to get it yourself, you have to get out of bed, put on your shoes, and walk around Zou Sijiu's legs...

After a few seconds, Zou Sijiu looked at Master Han and put down the book again: "Climb over me and get it."

"Hey?"

"That way you don't have to get out of bed."

"oh oh……"

After thinking about it, Han Shixiu made sense, so he buckled up the book and passed Zou Sijiu to get the water glass.

But the water glass is a bit far away. On the other side of the table, Han Shixiu still felt that he was blocked by Zou Sijiu. No matter how he stretched his arms, he couldn't touch it.

"I said," Zou Sijiu frowned, "Don't tell me...you don't know how to climb?"

"Who doesn't know..."

"You are stretching your arm hard on the other side of me. The meaning is completely different."

"Huh?" Han Shixiu said, "Then, how do you climb..."

"Lie down on me."

"……Hey?"

"Put your upper body on me. Well, just your upper body should be enough." Zou Sijiu said, "Then reach out to grab things."

"Press...press?"

"Yes." Zou Sijiu said impatiently: "Hurry up, you can crawl over to get whatever you want in the future, and no one will bring you tea and water every time."

"Oh..." Han Shixiu was right when he thought about it, Zou Sijiu might really dislike helping people with such trivial matters...

So Han Shixiu pressed it lightly, as Zou Sijiu said, and he could even feel the warm touch of belly to belly, which felt very alive.

——This time, he touched the water glass easily.

Going back to the original place and drinking the water, Han Shixiu was still thirsty, so he crawled over Zou Sijiu to pour water, crawled back, drank water, crawled over again, and put the cup back. Han Shixiu was exhausted——

"Zou Sijiu..." After reading the book for a while, Han Shixiu remembered the words he heard in the laboratory today.

"Ok?"

"Do you think money is important?"

"Nonsense." Zou Sijiu said, "No money to drink the Northwest Wind?"

"..."

"I have to support my family." Zou Sijiu was still flipping through the book: "You still support me? Unfortunately, if you support me, I probably still have to drink the northwest wind."

"..."

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"That..." Han Shixiu said, "Today I heard someone say that all businessmen are perverts..."

"Pervert?" Zou Sijiu glanced at Han Shixiu: "If I were perverted, you would not be what you are now."

"……"don't know.

"You have long been me..."

"...?"

"never mind."

"Oh..." Han Shixiu doesn't like to ask others what they don't want to say, he doesn't have this bad habit.

"Let's talk about it first." Zou Sijiu continued: "What did that person say? What kind of pervert?"

"It's just... She has been dating a real estate company boss for a few months. The real estate company boss only likes money, and he is only happy when he makes money. The reason for contacting her is because of which project made money. I am tired every day. , very tired at first glance, not at all energetic when dating, absent-minded, and very irritable because of too much pressure, always scolding his girlfriend, and also dislikes those competitors in the same industry, attacking his girlfriend I don’t like my girlfriend to interview these people, and they always talk about their bad deeds..."

"It's really perverted."

"What about you?" Han Shixiu asked: "You, you won't become like this in the future, right?"

"What?" Zou Sijiu turned his head and looked at Han Shixiu: "Scared?"

"No……"

"Will not."

"Ok?"

"I won't do this to you."

"This..." Han Shixiu said, "This should also change into that form little by little, right?"

For some reason, Han Shixiu was really afraid that Zou Sijiu would become like that, overwhelmed by greed for money, so much so that he didn't care about anything else.

It is this kind of person that Han Shixiu dislikes the most.

Zou Sijiu smiled: "Even if I love money, I won't be like that."

"Ok?"

"I know what's important to me."

"……what is that?"

"—so I will never hurt you."
