White dove

It was not until late at night when Tong Tong was lying on the bed alone, looking at the dim moonlight on the ceiling, that he recalled what Bian Long had said.

Biancheng's past experience is like a key, revealing his deepest temperament background. He is not impulsive, but bold and stubborn. He will not look back if he is determined. This is Tong Tong who has not seen it before, and has not had time I saw the border town, but Bian Long had seen it before.

It turned out that what Biancheng said was not just words, he really did it.Bian Long said that her little brother looks silent, but she would give up everything for the person she likes. Tong Tong thought, what Bian Long meant was that Bian Cheng would give up everything that the family brought him, money, career, and everything for him. Having lost the kinship bonded by her parents early on, Bian Long obviously didn't want to see Bian Cheng go this far, so she moved first, and if she couldn't convince Bian Cheng, she pried open the crack from Tong Tong.

Her subtext, you love Border Town so much, do you want to see him have nothing?

The moon gradually moved its direction, and the moonlight could not enter the window, and it was so dark that it was hard to breathe.

Tong Tong opened his eyes and thought about it all night. He thought he had to do a multiple-choice question. At dawn, he suddenly realized that this was not a multiple-choice question. Understand that this is a road that has no road at all.

It seems to be smooth and open, but it's just because the "wicked people" haven't come or have time to take care of them. There are too many "wicked people", not only the sister of the Bian family, the parents of the Tong family, but also the career of Biancheng, Tong Tong's future... unexpectedly Everything within their reach, all added up, turned out to be not a blessing, but a hindrance.

The only blessing is that they like each other and like to breed hallucinations. They try to rely on this to overcome obstacles and change the world.

When Tong Tong understood all this, she fell apart on the bed.

He couldn't find the correct answer, as if standing at a huge crossroads, completely at a loss.

The final exam is scheduled for the end of January. There are several professional courses, plus some extracurriculars, and the exam will last for almost a week. Before the exam, Tong Tong sent the first draft of the thesis to the mailbox of the chief examiner, this teacher Chen Wang Usually dubbed Old Man Chen by students, he is the deputy dean of the School of Foreign Languages ​​and the teacher of Tong Tong's intensive reading class in his junior and senior year. After a few days, I called Tong Tong directly to go to the office.

Tong Tong thought that there was something wrong with the thesis, but when he saw old man Chen, the old man said straight to the point: "There is no problem with the thesis, the idea and structure are very good, and the whole article is very smooth. It is enough to continue to enrich in this direction. I will see you today." I came here to talk about something else."

"What do you want to talk about, teacher?" Tong Tong didn't understand very well, but Chen Wang had always cared a lot for him. He was very affectionate to this old man who was strict on stage and smiling off stage.

Chen Wang is a bit older, wearing a pair of reading glasses, he is used to lowering his head but looking at people slightly from above the frame, with an indescribable cuteness and cunning, but at this moment Tong Tong sees more eagerness in his eyes Expectation: "You don't want to take the simultaneous interpreting exam, and you haven't signed up for this year's postgraduate program. I want to know what you want to do after graduation. Come, tell me what you think?"

The old man waved to Tong Tong, and Tong Tong sat diagonally across from him, the afternoon sun was shining on the small round tea table between the two of them, brightly, Tong Tong hesitated, and said frankly: "I haven't made up my mind yet. "

Unexpectedly, Chen Wang was very happy: "It's fine if you don't think about it, I'm afraid you have already made up your mind, and it will be too difficult to convince you."

? ? ?Old man, don't want me to take an international certificate, right?

Seeing Tong Tong's confused face, Chen Wang cleared his throat and said, "Do you know Professor Gu Yingfu?"

Tong Tong nodded. He is a well-known old professor in the translation field and a leader in academia. He said: "I have heard of it and read many books written by Professor Gu. My translation style is also greatly influenced by him."

Gu Yingfu translated literary works in his early years, and later turned to a more vertical academic direction of cultural studies, but the profound knowledge of literary translation has been integrated into it, which is more poetic and romantic than ordinary academics. Tong Tong likes his style very much.

"That's great." Chen Wang was very happy, and his eyebrows trembled: "Gu Yingfu is my old classmate. He has been teaching at Wuhan University. Hao Miaozi will be his assistant, and of course the graduate students he brought along will also join. When I chatted with him last night, he asked me if I had any suitable recommendations. You were the first thing I thought of. You and Cheng Shanshan are the only ones in our department who can follow along. Gu Yingfu's level, but Cheng Shanshan's mind is a bit mixed, you can calm down more, I just want to say hello to you first, and talk to you about this matter."

Tong Tong's heart warmed, let's not talk about anything else, what good news is good news? It’s a bit bitter. Intellectuals are poor, but don’t pay too much attention to it when you are young. At the beginning, you don’t have much money to be his assistant. He also made it very clear, but if you produce results after a year, you can give priority to selecting talents to become his graduate students. , Tong Tong, if your mentor is Gu Yingfu, you don't have to worry about being in the translation and academic circles."

"I understand." Tong Tong nodded: "Teacher, can I think about it for a few days? I really appreciate you giving me this opportunity. I've always thought of me for everything. I'm ashamed."

If ordinary people give the other party such a good opportunity, and the other party still says to think about it, they will definitely get angry on the spot, but Chen Wang is not this kind of person, he also nodded: "Think carefully, it is related to the future future, the most important thing to do in academics is You have to be determined enough to resist the temptation and vanity of the outside world, if this is not what you really want to do, you will not be able to force it.”

The old man was very transparent, and Tong Tong didn't have to worry about talking to him. For example, when he didn't want to take the simultaneous interpreting test, he also explained the reasons to him, and the old man could understand.

After this day, Tong Tong really thought seriously about what he was going to do in the future. This was not a matter of choosing whether to follow Gu Yingfu as an academic, but a bigger reality that he was about to face.

The gate of the ivory tower was half open, and he couldn't stay any longer.
