I thought I was a jerk

In the middle of the night, the lights in the picture gallery had been turned off, but in a remote corner, the young man set up an incandescent desk lamp, and carefully read the classics in his hand with a small piece of soft light.

It is a basic reference book for many precise studies, and it introduces the cornerstone of the chip discipline in a simple and simple way.Xie Wenhan will develop in this direction in the future. Since the school has not taught it yet, he will study by himself in the library.

There are many obscure places, just use the authority of the database in hand to inquire, or record them down and ask Professor Xu for advice.

Professor Xu cherishes talents and is quite considerate in other aspects, and he is more used to calling Xie Wenhan for advice.

Xie Wenhan was taking notes when his phone buzzed, indicating that he had received a new email.

Few people know Xie Wenhan's email address, and it is usually some uncommon information sent to him by Xu Zhangshu.When I opened it this time, it was indeed Professor Xu's message.But at a glance, it is not about the content of the chip subject, but the information about the youth microelectronics subject competition.

The project sounds ordinary, but it is a competition with great gold content in the world.

And he got one of them.

This surprise came too suddenly.

Xie Wenhan was tempted and wanted to sign up for the competition, but he had never won the relevant awards. Naturally, it was impossible for the school to send a freshman without any actual achievements to participate, so it could only be a delusion.

This time, Professor Xu brought him a place, even if it was just a "collaboration position" as a bystander and close study.

Xie Wenhan pursed his lips slightly, and sincerely sent a thank you message to Professor Xu.

Professor Xu also responded quickly:

"It's a small thing, I just want to mention it."

After a while, Xie Wenhan received another text message from him: "If you want to thank, you can thank the freshman kid who competed with you. It's not that easy to apply without him."

Xie Wenhan was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened slightly, as if aware of something.

The next day, just after morning reading, Xue Ci and Xie Wenhan were called out by the class teacher.

Both of them are "top students" in a very conventional sense, so there is no need to worry about anything bad.

When the head teacher saw the two geniuses in his class, he treated them equally and gently, asked them to sit down, and poured wolfberry water for them.

He conveniently took out the information from the drawer and handed it to the two of them.

The homeroom teacher doesn't need to introduce relevant information about the competition - the school test competition is too famous, I believe even students like Xie Wenhan, who were originally from a relatively poor background, should be very clear about it.

"This opportunity to participate in the competition and study with the team, after the discussion of the school, decided to share these two opportunities with you. I hope that the two students can win glory for the school." joke.After introducing the competition system for them, Qingpu's senior high school students will lead the team to Beijing. The competition schedule is long-Qingpu will definitely enter the finals, so it will take about half a month.

Xie Wenhan knew the bottom line yesterday, nodded calmly, not surprised by favor or shame.

Xue Ci looked at the materials sent to him, paused for a moment, and remained silent for a while.

Of course he was well aware of the competition.

In his previous life, he was even almost able to compete as a full member.

After the selection was successful, he got along well with the team. The day before the competition, Xue Ci went home very excitedly and told his father the news.And that day, Xue Zhengjing broke the teacup in his hand in a nonchalant manner, and didn't reply.Instead, he found an excuse for Xue Ci to disturb his rest at night, and made Young Master Xue stand at the door for the whole night as punishment.

That is to say, Steward Ji sent shawls and hot tea from behind, so Xue Ci didn't get sick and catch a cold in the cold wind blowing in the middle of the night.

But my mind is clearer.

He'd always known that his father didn't like him participating in these kinds of contests.

At that time, the relationship between Xue Ci and Xue's father was already very bad.Only the young boy still has an enthusiastic heart, but he doesn't believe that his father really hates him, and he is rebellious, holding the idea of ​​competing with his elder brother and letting his father see his excellence.

After standing stiffly all night, Xue Ci's breath was cold.

He tremblingly asked if his father would like him to compete.

Xue Zhengjing showed a rare mocking smile.

"Do you want to imitate your brother and participate in competitions, which professor will be attracted by him and be accepted as a disciple?"

At that time, Xue Fu was a disciple of Dr. Qi, a national treasure-level chip expert, and he was already very famous.

Xue Ci's family name is unknown, and he is criticized as a mediocre talent.

"It's a pity that you dare to imitate him in any way." Xue Zhengjing said lightly, the contempt in his eyes made people see clearly.

Xue Ci had the idea of ​​fighting hard to impress his father.

But in the next moment, all unwillingness and delusion were crushed.

"No. Even if you arrive in Beijing, I can tell you how to go and how to come back."

Xue Ci came out of Xue's house that day, submitted an application to his mentor in a daze, and quit the competition team.

At that time, he had been working with the team members for a while, and was responsible for the important part of building parts. It was obviously not a good idea to quit temporarily.Even if he is the young master of the Xue family, the tutor who has always been tolerant towards him also lowered his face and persuaded him: "You are so irresponsible, you should also consider other people."

Young master Xue insisted on going his own way.

If he doesn't want to, no one can stop him.

Xue Ci was in the third year of junior high school at the time, and the captain of the team was a certain senior in the third year of high school. This senior Cui was ambitious and aimed at laurels.

He was not very familiar with Xue Ci at ordinary times, but after seeing Xue Ci's team entrance test, he was quite satisfied, but he did not expect such a mistake - after getting the news from the teacher, Senior Cui came immediately and put down in front of Xue Ci. He begged him to stay in every possible way.He even frowned slightly, still questioning him: "Xue Ci, do you have something to hide?"

How would Xue Ci answer?

He didn't want to expose the broken and deformed father-son relationship to others, and maybe he wanted to hide his poor self-esteem in the end. He just showed an extremely impatient expression in front of his seniors.

"I'm not interested anymore, I don't want to go." Xue Ci replied blankly.

Later, he was impulsively punched by the senior.

His cheeks were swollen and he was very embarrassed.

Xue Ci still had no expression on his face, as if the punch landed on his face was nothing worth hurting.He just frowned impatiently and said, "Is there anything else? I'm leaving."

The senior was red-eyed, panting, and let Xue Ci go.

Everyone saw the wound on Xue Ci's face, but no one came to ask how he got hurt.

He deserved it, and he deserved it... And every year in the past, he failed to get the notification application for the competition.

Now, this invitation letter that he had longed for and longed for fell into his hands in a completely different way.

Xue Ci's eyelashes trembled slightly, like a butterfly fluttering its wings, and stopped to cover his boundless and lonely expression.

The homeroom teacher couldn't see Young Master Xue's frustration, he was used to Xue Ci being so reticent.

Only Xie Wenhan, who was standing beside Xue Ci, could only see Xue Ci's expression at this time because he glanced unconsciously sideways all the time.

Like a withered but still thick rose, it tightly held Xie Wenhan's sight, making his expression a little dazed.

Why……

Young Master Xue, who should be loved by thousands of people, will show such a sad and frustrated expression.

Xie Wenhan was even a little impulsive in his heart, he felt extremely irritable, and wanted to stretch out his hand to hold that eye feather... Then his thoughts were interrupted.He saw Xue Ci stretch out his hand, and carefully folded the registration form into his hand.

Young Master Xue slightly bent his lips, as if he was in a rare good mood, and showed a cute and cute smile: "Thank you, teacher."

Xie Wenhan didn't look back hastily until he was stared at by the head teacher for a long time.

"……Thank you, teacher."

It seemed that it was just his illusion just now.

The two left the office.

They are not walking side by side, Xie Wenhan is one step faster than Xue Ci, until he reaches the corner, Xie Wenhan is one step ahead, and he will stand where Xue Ci is going to pass.

Xue Ci was still a little careless thinking about the past life, didn't recover much, and almost bumped into Xie Wenhan: "?"

Xie Wenhan originally thought that it would be difficult for him to talk about it. He got the opportunity because of Xue Cicai.But in front of Xue Ci, it seemed that it was not so difficult to speak.

"Thank you."

Xue Ci was even more confused: "?"

"It's just this time... because of you, I also qualified for the competition." Xie Wenhan slightly opened his eyes, but his tone was very carefully considered, with a sense of treasure.

Xue Ci is not a child, and he can quickly figure out the joints after being reminded so endlessly.

It is ridiculous to think so.In his previous life, he was not able to participate in the competition because of his family, and in this life, because of his status as Young Master Xue, he actually did a good deed, and made a hardworking student like Xie Wenhan go along with him.

"Be polite." Xue Ci said, "It's because of your hard work."

Xie Wenhan's face turned slightly red, but he still had a cold face, ready to leave.Xue Ci thought of something, and said, "Besides, you were also very careful in sorting out the materials for me before, and it's reciprocal."

Xie Wenhan's pace of leaving quickly stopped suddenly. Hearing Xue Ci's words, his heart was more tense than when he got the opportunity, and he was about to burst out of his chest.

A huge sense of shame flooded him all at once, so much so that his cold white skin became hot as a result.

He closed his eyes slightly to restrain his impulsive emotions. Taking advantage of Young Master Xue's inability to see him, he forced himself to remain calm: "What information?"

Xue Ci never thought that Xie Wenhan would be so hard on face in this aspect.She smiled and asked him, "Didn't you put it on my desk?"

Xie Wenhan: "..."

Xie Wenhan: "...I'm sorry."

Xue Ci stepped forward at this time and walked away with him, "Why do you apologize? You are too thin-skinned."

Xie Wenhan's movements were almost too slow to move.Young Master Xue was walking beside him, so close that he could even smell the cold fragrance of Soho in his hair.

The candidates decided by the school competition quickly spread.Originally, there were no freshmen in the competition of this kind of unit, but this time two freshmen were selected to join the team—even if it was a cooperative position.

But the grades of these two people are indeed very good. They are the famous "student gods" among the freshmen, and no matter how much they complain, they are suppressed.

Xue Ci and Xie Wenhan's afternoon classes were exempted by the school, and they were sent to the laboratory to conduct competition-related exercises with senior seniors and sisters.

Although he is a cooperative student, he should not appear too dazed and ashamed to go out to compete on behalf of Qingpu.

Most of the candidates in the competition team are members who participated in the competition in the previous session, and they have cooperated with them for several rounds of experiments before, and they have a tacit understanding.

In other schools, there may be a situation where regular members of the competition have a cold face and silent exclusion of "collaborative students", thinking that they are rice bugs who are taking credit.But Qing Pu doesn't have this old custom, the two juniors are good-looking and polite, they don't have the temperament of the eldest master, so I don't know how popular they are.

Especially Xue Ci, Xue Fu's younger brother.

Xue Fu was the captain of their previous team.

Out of emotion and reason, these seniors will take care of the new students.

In the end, I took care of him, but I really forgot the concept of Xue Ci as "Xue Fu's younger brother". Young master Xue is quiet and obedient, as soft as a cat cub, and he can arouse all the love and affection in his heart just by looking at him twice a day come out.From being polite at the beginning, it turned into an eagerness to come to the laboratory every day and feed Young Master Xue.

Compared with their jackal-like younger brothers, the appearance of Xue Ci made these senior students feel a little jealous of Senior Xue Fu.

Even the tasks assigned to the two co-students every day are a little selfish - of course, they don't hate Xie Wenhan, so this kind of selfishness will not be too obvious.At most, theoretical work such as sorting out documents was left to Xue Ci.Those tasks that are a little troublesome and may be too busy to be fed by them are given to Xie Wenhan.

Xue Ci didn't realize this difference at first.

But it has been like this for a few days. He is already sensitive and aware of it.

However, Xue Ci's thoughts are also strangely different from those of his predecessors.

The seniors and sisters were friendly to him, naturally because his brother disclosed the news that they were at the same level as Xue Fu, so of course they were more willing to take care of him (to some extent, it was true in the beginning).

But Xue Ci also knew how unpopular he was. In his previous life, there were too many people who wanted to save him a little face for the face of the Xue family, so they didn't have to take themselves too seriously.

The disgust of others became more and more obvious as Xue Ci grew up, just like when Xue Ci first entered school, sporadic people were willing to talk to him.But now, there are fewer and fewer people getting along with him, only Xie Wenhan goes in and out with him because of the competition.

With such a distasteful impression first, looking at the behavior of those seniors assigning tasks, it seems that Xie Wenhan is encouraged to try the academic foundation of the test.And Xue Ci didn't get any opportunities to exercise, so he could only sort out those very simple documents and send them to seniors by category, without any improvement at all.

Xue Ci has been away from these foundations for too long, and he doesn't know how much "experience" those documents are for ordinary junior high school students.Instead, he mistakenly thought that he was sitting on a "cold bench".It's not in a hurry to be left hanging in the laboratory every day, just go and read some other materials obediently after tidying up.

Xie Wenhan had all the training opportunities, and Xue Ci was not dissatisfied.

At least the seniors have good superficial skills, and their attitude towards him can be called amiable, so there is no need to get to the bottom of it.

Under this kind of misunderstanding, the two freshmen and senior students went to Beijing together in a team that was simply working together.

Beijing is more prosperous than Zhou City, the city that never sleeps, with colorful lights.

When they first arrived in Beijing, the long flight made this group of young students very tired. In addition, they were not very playful, so they went directly to the hotel to rest, and they didn't bother to come out.

The travel expenses for this trip were all reimbursed by Qingpu, and the hotel chosen for this group of young masters and ladies was of course not bad.

But when going out, for safety reasons, most of them share a room in twos.

Xue Ci and Xie Wenhan were about the same age, and they were both boys, so they were naturally assigned to the same room.

Xue Ci had no idea.

Xie Wenhan didn't have any idea at first.

Until he saw the big soft and white bed in the room, the words Feng Jue flashed in his mind unconsciously.

"That kind of poor, what if some kind of dirty disease infects me?"

Xue Ci went to take a hot shower first, and when he came out, he saw Xie Wenhan rolled up a pillow and the blankets provided in the hotel, and spread them on the balcony where the whole piece of glass connected.

He sleeps there.

This is the hotel's characteristic "sea view room". The underwater world is outside, and jellyfish or magnificent tropical fish swim past from time to time. There is a whole special glass wall, about one meter thick, but you can clearly see the ocean world outside, as if Like sinking in the bottom of the sea.The place where Xie Wenhan sleeps is the platform used to watch the underwater world. It is usually used for temporary rest, so that you can sit and watch it. It’s not that you can’t sleep, but the location will be a bit cramped, and it’s not easy to fall asleep. Comfortable.

Young Master Xue's dark eyes fell on Xie Wenhan.

"Why are you sleeping there?" There was still heat in his body, Xue Ci's voice seemed to be softened by warm water, and it sounded extra soft.

Xie Wenhan didn't open his eyes, he turned his back to Xue Ci and said, "This place is beautiful."

"But the glass is very cold." Xue Ci didn't plan to read a book, he half sat on the bed, rolled into the quilt a little sleepily, and said, "Don't catch a cold."

"Well. No." He sleeps in the library every day and has never seen a cold.

Xue Ci didn't ask any more - he thought that Xie Wenhan might be like him, he didn't like to get too close to others, let alone such an intimate thing as sleeping together.

Young Master Xue took the big bed as a matter of course, and after realizing that Xie Wenhan really didn't intend to move any more, he turned off the lights and said, "Good night."

After a long time, Xie Wenhan opened his eyes in the dark, and a certain jellyfish wandered over curiously outside the glass, brushing against the young man's handsome cheek.It seems that they are so close, but in fact they are several meters apart, and it is impossible to get close in this life.

Xie Wenhan said quietly in the darkness, "Good night."

It was a good night's rest, and the next day, Qingpu students rushed to the competition venue.

Not to compete, but to watch.

Qingpu, like the other two prestigious schools, can enter the semi-final without taking the exam because of the excellent results in the previous session.They went to the arena this time mainly to observe the competition level of other colleges - even if they don't worry about it, they must be wary of sudden dark horses.

Probably because the first day of the competition, the competition questions were simple, not many people came to watch, and the live broadcast commentary was tepid and weak.

The captain of Qing Pu's team is a senior high school senior named Shen Jiayi, the only daughter of the Shen family.After she came to the scene and watched it, she was really disappointed. To use a more straightforward term, it was "vegetable chickens pecking at each other".

The rookies pecked each other until the last two college competitions, and she was not interested in watching the winners and losers, so she ordered the team to disband and move freely. She went back to the hotel to review the microelectronics assembly—of course, the two younger freshmen, Still have to follow her.

As soon as she left the competition venue, senior sister Shen, who took the special passage, ran into a student from Wynn by chance.

Wynn's competition personnel have all been changed this time, and there are no familiar faces from the last competition. The reason why Shen Jiayi can recognize the opponent as Wynn's students is mainly because of the school badges on their collars.

Xue Ci and the others also wore private clothes, and also wore the Qingpu school badge.

The relationship between the two academies is not harmonious, at most it is a matter of saving face.Senior sister Shen is a proud student. As if she didn't see the pile of Wynn students, she glanced coldly and prepared to walk by, completely ignoring her.

It just so happened that the captain led by Wynn this time was also very arrogant and troublesome. He lazily raised his foot to stop Senior Shen, raised his eyebrows arrogantly, "Miss Shen, we are all friends, why don't you say hello?"

Shen Jiayi: "..."

Who is your friend.

Captain Wynn's name is Xia Xi, and he is the first heir of the Xia family. Of course, he has a good background, and he is also a good hand at provoking people.His eyes fell on the two freshmen who were guarded by Shen Jiayi behind him, and he smiled provocatively, not caring which young master they were, he guessed at a glance that the two children were assistant students: "No, no, you guys Qingpu is bringing two assistants this time?" His tone was rather disgusting, and the word "assistant" was dragged on by him for a long time, and it sounded like "an oil bottle".

"It seems to be the same as what I heard. You really don't want to win. We, Wynn, don't intend to bring the burden of lying down and winning this time..." His words were of course very disgusting.

Xie Wenhan was used to being scolded for being cumbersome, and he never paid any attention to this level of provocation, but this time, his eyes were slightly gloomy.

Xue Ci actually didn't notice the other party's childish provocation.

His eyes were all focused on the boy in the middle of Wynn's team who was listening to the song with a casual expression.

Cui Yuan, Xue Ci's former senior.

At that time, Cui Yuan was in his third year of high school, while he was still a third-year student.

Now Xue Ci participated in the school test competition earlier than before. This senior Cui was only a freshman in high school, and it was his first time to participate in the competition.

It took a long time for Xue Ci to realize that he should apologize.It's just that Cui Yuan was framed by him once, and from then on Xue Ci would always show disgust to the point of nausea when he approached him.Xue Ci knew how to be sensible, and also knew that not disturbing the other party was the best way to make an apology.

Now that they meet again, with different positions, Xue Ci thinks it is the most worthwhile and meaningful thing since the new life - he finally didn't hurt each other again.

Xue Ci's gaze was gentle and silent.

Cui Yuan was slow to notice that he raised his eyes and saw the child standing behind him, and he used the most direct words that Cui Yuan could think of - he is so fucking cute.And the child blinked at himself, looking obedient and gentle.

He is a hunk, and he feels like his heart will melt.

Cui Yuan is not as extreme as the captain, he has a sense of honor in the academy, and we will still be business partners who can cooperate in the future.He also heard that the captain connoted that such a cute child is a burden and is too wicked, so he patted the senior on the shoulder: "Senior Xia Xi, friendship is the first and second in the competition, why are you still blocking other girls to bully..."

He said so, but in his heart he still loved the freshman who was pulled out to block the gunfire.

At this moment, at the end of their line, the eldest and young master with blurred eyes like he was asleep every day, suddenly let out an "ah", broke through the crowd and rushed to the front, squeezing Captain Xia to the ground.

It is true that Chang Dengming did not do it on purpose, he is only a freshman, and he is almost taller than Captain Xia. When he saw Xue Ci, his eyes were almost straightened, and he called him: "Xue, Xue Ci?"

"is it you?"

He stared at Xue Ci without turning his eyes, and his tone was like weeping with joy: "Why, why, why are you still so young!"

Xue Ci: "..."

He suddenly broke away from the emotion of seeing the senior in the past, facing the tall and handsome boy in front of him, a "?" appeared on his face

Xue Ci did not realize that this person was Chang Dengming.

Chang Dengming was a few years older than Xue Ci in the training camp, but at that time everyone was a child, and he was at most a head taller than others.

But now how old he is Xue Ci, and when he is in adolescence, the age difference between the two is obvious, Xue Ci is like his younger brother.

Chang Dengming recognized Xue Ci at the first sight.

At this time, the excited words are not very smooth: "I am Chang, Chang—"

He wanted to hug Xue Ci, but Xie Wenhan was inserted in the middle.

Little Xie had a calm expression on his face, and his position seemed to be just random.

After being reminded, Xue Ci suddenly remembered the elder and young master who should have passed away.

He thought for a while and asked, "Eternal light?"

Chang Dengming froze: "Oh, it's Chang Dengming, Dengming..."

However, he was only depressed for a while, and immediately returned to excitement, and said to Xue Ci: "You don't know, since I separated from you three years ago, I have wanted to find you very much. But my father was angry, Send me to the training base in country C, and I just came back recently. I have always wanted to go to Xue's house to see you, but I have never seen you..."

Chang Dengming is still not clear, he has been blacklisted by the Xue family, and he is very excited to introduce to others at this time: "You know it? This is the Aci I told you. I was training in an outdoor Camp, ran into the woods and stumbled and fell off the cliff, he was the one who pulled me up with vines. At that time, when I saw Ah Ci’s hands, they were all cut by vines..."

Chang Dengming was tired of talking about this past. Few people in the same team had heard Chang Dengming read the heroic deeds of "A Ci" who saved him at that time, and they came and went for a while, and they subconsciously chose to block their hearing.But Captain Xia felt very embarrassed. He was facing the two armies, and the long lamp came out to praise the new students...

Those who didn't see Shen Jiayi's eyes became strange.

Xie Wenhan stood in front of Chang Dengming, but when he heard what he said, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

That should... be considered a childhood sweetheart?

Xue Ci should be very willing to get together with friends from the past.

Xie Wenhan's body was slightly stiff, and his consciousness wanted to take a step back, but his body remained motionless.

Listening to Chang Dengming's words, he thought to himself how painful it was for Xue Ci to be scratched when he was so young.

Xue Ci listened to Chang Dengming's retelling, and the memories from many years ago came back, interrupting the other party's words: "You don't need to thank me, it's a little effort."

He added: "And later, the elder family also came to thank you."

Chang Dengming was slightly stunned, and said seriously: "My home is my home, and I am me."

"It's enough for you to remember it for so many years." Xue Ci is not a person who wants to return favors, but he said very seriously.Chang Deng Ming listened, as if Xue Ci wanted to break up with him, his smile faded all of a sudden.

Xie Wenhan felt that he should not have done so.

But when he saw Changdeng's bright expression, he actually chuckled uneasily.

Senior Sister Shen saw the face of the captain of the opposing team turned into a pig's liver, and she felt pity from the bottom of her heart, but she still sneered ruthlessly: "Oh, it's over for reminiscing about the old days. Excuse me, let me—"

She didn't really wait for anyone to let her go. She had her own aura and led her new students out of the way.

When Xue Ci left, his eyes fell on Cui Yuan again.

They passed each other, and Xue Cicai said gently and politely, "Senior Cui, goodbye."

I hope you have a bright future, and you will never associate with people like me again.

Cui Yuan was caught by the child's polite look again, showing a simple and honest smile, not realizing how the other party knew his name: "Ah, okay..."

From behind, Xia Xi went crazy: "Cui Yuan, what's the matter with you, you also know that kid?"

Chang Dengming also said in disbelief: "He greeted you before he left, not me!!"

Xie Wenhan thought of... the people Xue Ci knew.

many.

After returning, senior sister Shen specially assigned some tasks to the two freshmen.

She defends her shortcomings, and at this moment she thinks angrily that even an assistant position can play a big role, and those Wynn people look down on them less.
