I thought I was a jerk

The slender fingertips hold the pen tightly, flowing out quite smooth and beautiful words. Occasionally, Xue Ci can draw a few schematic diagrams without the aid of tools, as detailed as if they have been measured countless times.

Although Cheng Yibai couldn't understand the contents of the notes, he could roughly grasp the precise laws of those schematic diagrams. To him, even if the content was tedious and boring, it became more interesting than ever because it was written by Xue Ci For the first time, Cheng Yibai came up with the idea that chip learning is also good——

Until the lecturer on the stage called him up.

Cheng Yibai's red hair is too eye-catching, and the movement of staring at Xue Ci is also obvious. It seems that he has some other purpose...for example, he is a student from another department who came to chase someone.

Xue Ci can definitely be regarded as the favorite disciple of the teacher, and those who dare to disturb him will always receive "special treatment".

Cheng Yibai, who was called up to answer the question on the screen, was quite confused about it.He glanced vaguely at Xue Ci, hoping to get some hints.

His small actions really caught Xue Ci's attention.Then the young master put down his pen, propped his cheeks, pulled down his mask slightly, raised his head and showed him a cold and mocking smile, then obediently withdrew all his gaze, and did not give any response.

Xue Ci thought: The sense of irony is perfect.

Cheng Yibai could be mad at himself.

In fact, Cheng Yibai was stunned for a moment when he saw Xue Ci raising his head and smiling at him——and then a single thought ran through his mind.

Grass.

really cute.

Seeing it up close is much more deceptive than in the video.

Although Young Master Xue's cold and arrogant appearance is also very good, but the way he smiles seems to be a little cuter...

For a moment, because of entanglement, Cheng Yibai, who was so out of his mind, closed his lips tightly, still reminiscing about the smile just now, so much so that the teacher on the stage had to remind him several times.

The teacher almost suspected that, as Cheng Yibai, a young master from a wealthy family, he was silently resisting in this way because he was ashamed of being called up and punished to stand.

In fact, Cheng Yibai certainly wouldn't feel ashamed, he has always been thick-skinned, and now he still has a little bit of ecstasy.After being reminded, he said confidently and loudly: "I won't."

That attitude was so straightforward that even the teacher on stage laughed angrily because of his unrestrained tone.

"This is one of the three principles of the chip." The gentle man on the stage raised his glasses, "If you don't even understand this, can you understand what I'm talking about in this class?"

The teacher said in a threatening tone: "I don't think you will take my classes anymore." Anyway, you don't look like a student of the chip department.

These words rarely aroused a bit of Cheng Yibai's fighting spirit, his pupils narrowed slightly, he glanced at Xue Ci subtly, and immediately begged for mercy in his very clear voice: "Teacher, I just have a weak foundation and I want to learn." The heart of the chip theory is true, you can't deprive me of the right to love and pursue ideals."

The mouth is still strange.The teacher didn't like this, and smiled half a smile, "Oh? I think you don't even listen to the class. Is there someone you love so much?"

"That's not it. Teacher, I have benefited a lot from this lesson, which is better than ten years of reading. I listened very seriously." Cheng Yibai showed a quite lethal smile, "If you don't believe me, I will recite it for you. Back to the point."

Cheng Yibai recounted what Xue Ci wrote down in his notes at a fairly fluent speed.He has a good memory, his brain spins fast, and he can memorize it completely without mistakes.

Xue Ci slightly paused after discovering this, and glanced at him slightly.

Word for word.

Can be called the academic god of the chip department, Xue Ci's notes have always been perfect, and they are indeed the focus of this class.There are also some theoretical branches that I have studied, the principles are thoroughly understood, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the essence.

Even the lecturer on the stage was a little surprised after listening to it. He could see that Cheng Yibai was not only not a freshman in the chip department, but also probably had no exposure to related content before. It is quite a talent to remember the summary in the bottom of my heart in a short period of time.

All of a sudden, Cheng Yibai, a "bastard" student, changed his mind a bit.

"Not bad." The teacher softened his tone, "Sit down."

After sitting down, Cheng Yibai continued to stare at Xue Ci, and when he noticed the young master's silent gaze falling over, he showed an obvious smile, "Do you think I'm pretty good?"

"Chip learning seems very interesting." He said, "Xue Ci, can you teach me later?"

Of course, the time spent on teaching is not a day or two, and there are many opportunities for intimate contact, which is also one of Cheng Yibai's strategies.

As it should be, Xue Ci still didn't say a word, with a cold attitude.

But his heart was far from peaceful.

Cheng Yibai was indeed very intelligent, otherwise he would not have been raised by the Cheng family for nearly 20 years and was still a stable heir. None of his father's illegitimate children had shaken his position in the slightest.And after 20 years of "waves", the adaptability of the company that took over was surprisingly quicker, and the market value of Cheng's became more prosperous for several years.

But Cheng Yibai, who is so talented no matter how he looks at it, has absolutely no interest in chip science.

In his previous life, Xue Ci hadn't majored in the Department of Chips, but he often read some professional books, and he didn't give up his private laboratory research.Every time Cheng Yibai came to look for him—they were not in a relationship at that time—he would dodge those cold-light instruments in a bored way, and quite willfully cover Xue Ci’s professional record while Xue Ci was taking notes. book, or disturbing the experimental report he just wrote.

Although it was just a harmless little prank, Cheng Yibai's attitude towards "chips" was very clear.

He once defined, "chips are sophisticated but boring subjects."Complained to Xue Ci countless times, "If you continue to study, you will become a boring person like Xue Fu".

But Xue Ci was always quite tolerant towards his friends, and after they became lovers, he began to indulge in favoritism. He did not do his own research in front of Cheng Yibai, and every time Cheng Yibai came to his apartment, He will also take care to lock those materials, so that Master Cheng will not see them, and run lazily in front of him and talk unreasonably about his headache.

But in the Huada classroom that Xue Ci had never set foot in in his previous life, Cheng Yibai came on his own initiative, and he was willing to explain.But Cheng Yibai actually answered the chip theory teacher's questions, took down his notes and told Xue Ci that it was very interesting, and even asked Xue Ci to teach him——

This is just like reversing the trajectory of fate in the previous life, which made Xue Ci have an incomparable sense of dislocation.

It also made Xue Ci give birth to an illusion, for example, Cheng Yibai has changed, different from him in the previous life.

The ending between him and Cheng Yibai has also become full of variables again.

This kind of thinking is extremely dangerous.

... He shouldn't have such delusions that he will fall into bad luck again.

Xue Ci slightly closed his eyes.His fingers are long and pale, and they've grown rather vigorous from the long hours of paperwork.At this moment, the specially made black fountain pen was actually broken, and the sharp edge slashed across Xue Ci's palm, making him wake up.

He wiped his hands indifferently and put on a brand new pen.

The force used in that blow should be great, and Xue Ci himself showed a kind of impatient anger.

Cheng Yibai's eyes froze at that moment, slightly dumbfounded.

The intuition like animal instinct made Cheng Yibai aware of Xue Ci's anger, he looked at the red mark on the young master's pale palm, became extremely flustered, and took the initiative to admit his mistake: "I'm sorry, I won't bother you anymore. "

If there is anything that should be said in spare time——Cheng Yibai stared at the mark with great concern, wondering whether the bright red mark would ooze blood in the next second, whether he should look for it Come and bandage some wound medicine.

"Master Cheng." Xue Ci didn't even lift his eyelids.He tried to communicate with the young master in an extremely calm tone, "The strength of the Cheng family should be enough to hire a teacher with the title of professor to guide you."

But I just want you to teach me.

Cheng Yibai sensibly didn't say this sentence, he just kept quiet and sat beside Xue Ci, although occasionally there would be a bit of grievance in his gaze.

Xue Ci calmed down quickly.

He didn't want to make things clear, but he really didn't give eyes, as if the young master of the Cheng family, who was so eye-catching and bright, suddenly turned into a transparent person.

And Cheng Yibai accepted this kind of treatment quite quickly, and followed Xue Ci's class schedule to complete a day's class with him.

His silence almost made Xue Ci think that the young master's confidence should have been seriously bruised long ago, and he would no longer do those redundant and boring things.But in fact, Cheng Yibai not only followed him through the one-day class, but stopped Xue Ci after today's schedule was completely over, and said the first sentence after that unpleasant theory class.

"Sometimes I'm careless, and I don't notice that some behaviors can make people angry." Young Master Cheng, who is always full of energy as if there is no limit, at this time even every strand of hair hangs down quietly, very humble, " I'm sorry if I hurt you in any way, Xue Ci."

"..." The blocked boy's face was covered by a mask. It was difficult to discern his expression at this time, but it must not be very happy.

Cheng Yibai, who was the same age as his previous life, could always arouse Xue Ci's more memories.And even in his previous life, Young Master Cheng didn't seem to have bowed his head and apologized to others in such a "begging way".

Of course it wasn't Cheng Yibai who offended him at this time, and Xue Ci couldn't tell him about the embarrassing past.It's just that they, who shouldn't have crossed paths again, reunited at this time, which is not fortunate.

Xue Ci obviously tried his best to avoid him, and those black pupils seemed to be sealed with solid ice, which would not melt all year round.His eyes showed Cheng Yi's white hair hanging down softly, as if he had an expression of frustration. Such an expression had never appeared on the face of the always confident Young Master Cheng.

...unless drunk.

The atmosphere between them paused for two seconds.

Then came Xue Ci's flat tone: "You haven't done anything wrong now, so you don't need to apologize to me."

Xue Ci only saw him as a stranger meeting for the first time, "It's just Cheng Yibai, we can't get along. You don't need to waste time on me."

Compared with the latter sentence, Cheng Yibai seemed to hear the first sentence more quickly.He showed a look of excitement, his eyes were brightened, "Both impression and aura can be changed, at least you have to try first. Xue Ci, I actually brought you an apology for my visit this time."

The jewelry box that was casually carried in the pocket, but was often touched twice was taken out, Cheng Yibai seemed to be afraid that Xue Ci would not accept it, opened it and handed it to him.

Inside was a men's ring with a simple shape, which was made according to the highest standard of noble standards.The face of the ring is a transparent bluestone that is more expensive than gold of equal weight, and inside it seems to be permanently sealed, refracting a lifelike gem-carved rose.

Each petal seems to be soft, with dew, it is as fresh and alive as it is in the exhibition cabinet, illuminated by the light, as if it is a real fresh rose sealed in a ring.

"Do you remember the first time we met. I broke your rose?" Cheng Yibai carefully observed Xue Ci's expression in a nostalgic tone, "Now, I will pay you back."

It's not just roses.

But Xue Ci didn't raise any objection, he just sighed slightly and refused the gift from Cheng Yibai.

"Cheng Yibai." Xue Ci lowered his eyes slightly, with a calm expression, "I don't like roses for a long time."

·

Cheng Yibai still did not leave Huada, and the frequency of appearances was almost suspicious. The young master of the Cheng family decided to transfer to another school at the last point of his four-year study career.

And Cheng Yibai was really listening to the lectures. He began to absorb chip-related knowledge. Relying on his outstanding talent in any field, he quickly reached the admission standard of the chip department. Many instructors began to look familiar with this red-haired "freshman" .

Apart from the anomaly of occupying the position closest to Xue Ci every time, Master Cheng seems to have really changed, and he is interested in studying the chip.

Xue Ci wasn't so overbearing that he even took care of Cheng Yibai's class, but tolerated the other party's behavior with an attitude of indifference, until the balance was broken by Xie Wenhan's appearance.

Xie Wenhan would come to class occasionally.

However, unlike Cheng Yibai, in Xue Ci's impression, Xie Wenhan came to the class of the chip department to review the basics of chips, and his purpose was straightforward and pure.

Xie Wenhan is a person who is truly interested and talented in the subject of chips, which can be seen from the fact that he was able to participate in the school test competition when he was in junior high school, and he showed his terrifying, sponge-like ability to absorb and learn in it.

If Xue Ci hadn't been so talented that year, Sun Moon Zhihui, he should have broken the record of being the youngest to be invited by the chip professor's tutor.

Of course, in the end Xie Wenhan did not enter the mentor's school.

He didn't even go on to further his education in the subject of chips.

This is also the reason why Xue Ci did not expect Xie Wenhan to study at Huada University at first. In his opinion, even if Xie Wenhan did not apply for the Department of Chips of Huada University, he chose to apply for the Department of Chips of other prestigious schools instead of finance. Tie.

Although Huada's finance department is also excellent and is still a popular major, it is still a kind of buried for Xie Wenhan.

Later when Xue Ci asked about it, Xie Wenhan also explained it nonchalantly.

Due to some hidden pressure and grievances with his former stepbrother, Xie Wenhan had to give up the more academic chip research and choose a more "practical" development direction.

Everyone will have compulsions and last resorts.Xue Ci, who has gone through previous lives, knows this very well.

And Xue Ci has a very good, tacit understanding between the family and the quality of not getting to the bottom of the matter.He regretted that Xie Wenhan could not study further, but he respected his choice and did not delve into it, leaving enough room for him.

Because of the friendship between the two who helped with the medicine before, the two maintained a good relationship, so although Xie Wenhan was forced to fail to apply for the chip major, because his interest continued, Xue Ci would often send him some professional books. , to share the latest research progress on chip technology in the world. The WeChat between the two often talks is full of pure and academic information, and they rarely discuss their private affairs.

When Xie Wenhan came to the theoretical class, he found that the seat next to Xue Ci was occupied by a red-haired man, and he didn't seem to care at all, just sitting quietly on the other side of Xue Ci.

Knowing that Xie Wenhan would come today, Xue Ci also handed him the report analysis prepared yesterday.

Xie Wenhan took it.

"Thank you," he said politely.

This was originally not enough to attract Cheng Yibai's attention, but he felt a little inexplicable hostility towards this man who suddenly appeared.

He couldn't remember ever meeting Xie Wenhan, and he thought they were strangers whom he met for the first time.Even so, it was enough to make Cheng Yibai feel disgusted.

Obviously, Xue Ci's attitude towards him is not close, and Xie Wenhan is also quite measured and distanced, which means that the friendship between the two is as light as water between gentlemen.But Cheng Yibai just couldn't let go of that bit of vigilance, and stared at Xie Wenhan covetously.

Young Master Cheng's gaze was not too much to hide, Xue Ci naturally noticed it too.

He has not forgotten Cheng Yibai's love for Xie Wenhan in his previous life, this level of attention is normal.

It is said that Cheng Yibai fell in love with him at first sight.

Xue Ci remembered again, it seemed that a few years ago, Cheng Yibai had paid close attention to Xie Wenhan at that time.Now that both parties are adults, this kind of goodwill is easier to ferment.

He was caught in the middle, and Cheng Yibai looked through him to Xie Wenhan from time to time.

There was no intention of being jealous, but it was hard for Xue Ci to completely ignore the other party's frequent gazes.After another long stare, Xue Ci closed the spine of the book.

"If you think I'm in the way here, you can just sit there." Xue Ci's tone was calm, more like a discussion.

Cheng Yibai came back to his senses and thought that Xue Ci had discovered his hostility towards Xie Wenhan—A Ci and Xie Wenhan seemed to be close friends, of course Cheng Yibai didn't dare to show it too obviously, he was quite dull He let out an "ah" with a stupid look on his face.

Cheng Yibai promised, "That's fine." He quickly erected the book to cover his overly obvious expression.

Xue Ci: "..."

Xue Ci: "."

Xie Wenhan was very calm, as if he didn't notice Cheng Yibai's gaze at all, and devoted himself to his study.Occasionally, he would ask Xue Ci about some knowledge that was updated in the academic world and he had no time to understand it, and most of the time he was listening to lectures and studying by himself.

At the end of the class, Xie Wenhan wrote down the extracurricular experiments arranged on the screen.By the way, after asking Xue Ci some difficult questions, the lowered eyes were a little confused: "The knowledge in class is still too simple, and I feel that it is getting more and more difficult to follow your train of thought."

"Originally, I planned that after graduation, I could go on this path again. But without the guidance of the laboratory and the tutor, this should be an impossible delusion." Xie Wenhan said casually, the tone was not too serious. Depressed, but because of serious thinking, the meaning revealed in it seems even more helpless.

"……Will not."

Xue Ci heard him say, "Edmond Leander started to engage in chip research at the age of 30, and transformed the disadvantages of the annual consumption of industrial chips. Ms. Yong Ronglian taught herself mechanical gears at the age of 67 and developed the core of my country's aerospace chips. The subject. As long as you are willing, it is never too late to start." Even Xue Ci himself in the previous life did not have a professional mentor, but explored by himself, and never suppressed the germination of interest.

Xie Wenhan seemed a little helpless, but after hearing Xue Ci's words, his mood was obviously much better, "How can I compare with such a genius..." He seemed to be thinking of something, his smile slightly subsided, and his eyes fell on Xue Ci for a long time .

He should be thinking about a very embarrassing thing, so the confusion and complexity of his mind are revealed in his eyebrows and eyes.After hesitating for a long time, Xie Wenhan said slowly: "My enlightenment on chip assembly, Xue Ci, was taught by you at the beginning."

Xie Wenhan probably hesitated very hard before making this request: "...after class, can I take some of your time. Hire you to teach me a practical course on chips?"

Xie Wenhan's voice was very low, but Cheng Yibai, who was sitting next to him, heard these words.

The gloating young master Cheng suddenly showed a very contemptuous smile, with a bit of inexplicable arrogance.

This male green tea only plays leftovers from his own play, he has long thought about getting closer through tutoring, but failed.

According to Xue Ci's words: Want to take tutoring?You can't afford to hire a tutor, can you?

Young Master Cheng even thought about it, he could help Xie Wenhan get involved with contacts in a friendly way, put on a generous appearance, and then look at Xie Wenhan's distraught embarrassment.

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Yibai's pricked ears almost drooped down suddenly, and the complacency on his face froze slightly, because he heard——

Xue Ci looked at Xie Wenhan, hesitating for only a few seconds.

"Not really teaching."

"If you want, I can help you understand the problems that arise in practice."

The current Xie Wenhan is really similar to himself in his previous life.

Xue Ci thought.

But Xue Ci in his previous life could only grope for himself countless times, but now he can prevent another person from repeating the same mistakes.

Xie Wenhan showed a brief smile, and quickly returned to his usual indifferent expression: "Thank you...you."

Cheng Yibai suddenly opened his eyes wide.It was difficult for him to accept this kind of differential treatment, and just as he was about to refute the question, he felt guilty first.

The young master, who had never experienced such a direct encounter with a wall, thought to himself, it's not...it's unacceptable.

At least he had really bad intentions when he approached Xue Ci, and the questions he could ask were also presumably shallow.As for Xie Wenhan, since he was asking for academic help, and the topics they discussed seemed to be more professional, the possibility of Xue Ci's refusal was of course very small.

It's just out of pure classmate friendship.

After Cheng Yibai comforted himself with reason, although he was still a little jealous, he finally held back.

Until the end of today's class, they each got up and left.Xie Wenhan, who always had a cold face and a calm expression, seemed to have never noticed Cheng Yibai's existence and hostility, when he left with Xue Ci, he suddenly looked back at him.

There was an extremely mocking coldness in the eyes, and the lips were slightly curved, but there was no smile, but a kind of indifferent provocation that was inevitable.

——Being overestimated.

At that moment, Cheng Yibai's face turned gloomy, and he was quite sure that Xie Wenhan was aware of his existence and all his actions from beginning to end, and he harbored the same hostility as him.

Dress like.

Great.

Cheng Yibai's eyes darkened.
