Specific gravity

The names of outstanding graduates began to scroll on the big screen, and the word "Xuan Zhao" ranked first.

Cen Baiyan was quite curious, and quickly took out his mobile phone to snap a few photos.

This guy Xuanzhao has as many minds as a fishing net. He usually tosses about this and that, and calculates this and that. I didn't see how much effort he put into his studies, but he didn't expect his grades to be so good.

This is high IQ, you don't have to work hard, you can do everything well, and it is called talent suppression in comprehension novels.

Cen Baiyan thought of himself staying up all night memorizing books and drawing pictures to catch up with homework in order to get the scholarship, and he felt a little sour unexpectedly.It's no wonder that people like Xuan Zhao have no friends in school, they can easily get first place in the exam, what a blow to other people's self-confidence!But after thinking about it, Cen Baiyan felt a little bit of pride and joy in his heart again, such an awesome person is his wife, what a face!

He was walking around here by himself, when the person behind him patted him on the shoulder and asked him curiously: "Then you and Xuan Zhao are living together now?"

stay together?This question is quite difficult to answer.

Xuan Zhao is currently in the hospital, and Cen Baiyan is by his side, so this should be regarded as living together.

So Cen Baiyan nodded: "Yes."

The man smiled and handed over something: "Then give this to him for me. I'm going to work in another place tomorrow. I don't think I'll see you again. I'm still thinking about how to return the thing to him."

Cen Baiyan took it and saw that it was Xuan Zhao's campus card.

The man saw Cen Baiyan's doubts, smiled and said: "I share a dormitory with Xuan Zhao, but he has never come to live in it. My family is in the countryside, and it is not easy for me to go to school. I will send back all the subsidies for graduate students." I’m home, and I’m not willing to eat food after studying for a while. Once everyone went into the dispensing room together, I took two steamed buns and gnawed dryly. When someone asked me why I didn’t go to the cafeteria to get food, I didn’t have the nerve to say that I didn’t want to, so I said I lost my meal card."

The principal continued to give an impassioned speech on the stage: "I hope that our classmates are all upright, kind, and bright people."

Integrity, kindness, and light—these three words seem to be difficult to associate with Xuan Zhao.

People who don't know Xuanzhao will feel that Xuanzhao is withdrawn, indifferent, and superior——Xuanzhao doesn't stay in the house, doesn't participate in group activities, and seems to be indifferent to anyone and anything.Even Xuanzhao himself describes himself with the words "hypocrisy", "selfishness" and "meanness".

"Xuan Zhao didn't say anything at the time, and he went about his own business. That night he suddenly went back to the dormitory," the man behind continued, "Give me his meal card, he said he didn't eat at school anyway, The monthly subsidy is paid into the card, so he doesn't bother to withdraw such a small amount of money, and he just keeps it on hold. It is very troublesome to replace the card, so I just use his. I was very angry at the time, he I must know that I haven't lost my meal card, but I just don't want to spend money on food, I feel. He just looks down on me and gives me alms."

Cen Baiyan looked down at the photo on the campus card. Xuanzhao was wearing a dark black shirt with calm eyes. He wondered if the photographer asked him to smile when taking pictures. He pursed the corners of his lips unnaturally. .

"He's like this," Cen Baiyan smiled lowly, "I don't know how to care about people."

"Who said no," the man agreed. "He saw me red-eyed and didn't say anything. He threw the campus card on the table and left. Once I was so hungry that I couldn't help it, so I took Xuanzhao I swiped my card once in the cafeteria, and that one time, it cost 13 yuan and eight cents. Later, I transferred the money to him on WeChat, and he confiscated it. At that time, I had a lot of self-esteem. Now that I understand it, he actually I have no bad intentions, I just want to help me. Please help me return this card to him, and then say thank you for me, I sent him a long message on WeChat, but he didn't reply, probably because he is busy with the company's affairs."

Cen Baiyan's heart softened, and the hard and cold campus card was stained with the temperature of his palm, becoming extremely warm.

Upright, kind, and bright, in fact, Xuanzhao has always been such a person.

"He saw it, he looked like a human being, but he was actually rather shy, and didn't know how to reply to you." Cen Baiyan smiled brightly, "Don't worry, buddy, I will definitely help you bring the message to you, and the journey will be smooth tomorrow. , work smoothly, and make a fortune in the future.”

On the stage, the principal turned to the last page of the speech in his hand. He raised his arms and shouted: "Students, I wish you all a bright future!"

Thousands of students below applauded.

Cen Baiyan nodded Xuanzhao's face on the campus card, and whispered, "Did you hear that? We have a bright future."

Xuan Zhao on the card looked back at him with a smile in his eyes, silently expressing his approval.

After the ceremony, Cen Baiyan originally wanted to walk around Xuanzhao's school to see where he had been for seven years.Before he could leave the auditorium, an old professor with gray hair rushed over from the teacher's auditorium and stopped Cen Baiyan.

"Little classmate, I just saw you sitting in Xuan Zhao's seat, did you go through the formalities for him?" the professor asked kindly.

"Yes," Cen Baiyan nodded, "You are?"

"I'm his tutor," the old professor patted Cen Baiyan on the shoulder, "come with me, he left something at my place."

Cen Baiyan followed the professor to the scientific research building and arrived at a classroom full of Chinese herbal medicine specimens.

"This is a place for pharmacological experiments, and it is usually open to students. Xiaoxuan has liked to come here for self-study since he was a freshman, and everyone knows that it is his seat." The professor pointed to a seat in the corner near the window, " Here, he is sitting there, and many girls are secretly taking pictures of him outside the window."

Cen Baiyan looked in the direction of the professor's finger. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was a row of lush sycamore trees, and the tulle curtains fluttered slightly under the air-conditioning air.

The desk is full of books, a lamp, a mug, and a signature pen.

"It's all his stuff, you go and clean it up." The professor said with a smile.

Cen Baiyan walked to the desk, most of the books were thick tomes, and Cen Baiyan found it difficult just by reading the titles.

He randomly picked up a brick-like "Medical Pharmacology" and flipped through it. He was stunned by the full of notes that caught his eyes, and was instantly amazed.

There are more than 500 pages of books, almost every page has notes left by Xuanzhao, sometimes they are questions raised by him, sometimes they are some simple annotations, and sometimes they are English terms for recording and comparison.

Cen Baiyan read a few more books, without exception, they were all traces of Xuan Zhao's hard work.

"What? Surprised?" Seeing Cen Baiyan's expression, the professor found it very interesting, and teased, "In your eyes, Xiao Xuan is so ignorant?"

"No," Cen Baiyan quickly explained, "I just—"

"It's just that I didn't expect him to be so diligent?" The professor shook his hand. "It's true that he can do everything with ease. In fact, he is the hardest one among my many students. It seems that you don't know him well enough."

In the book, a name called "tubocurarine chloride" was drawn in a circle by Xuan Zhao, and a string of English letters that Cen Baiyan could not understand was marked next to it.

Cen Baiyan's heart felt sour, he pursed his lips and said, "Well, I don't know him well enough."

"He often sits until late at night, either reading books or doing specimen processing," said the professor. "In his sophomore year, I saw that this kid is a talent, and I took the team to Banna at that time. While doing research, I asked him if he wanted to go together, and Xiao Xuan was sitting there with his head up, and I could feel that he really wanted to go."

Cen Baiyan's heart tightened all of a sudden: "Then has he gone?"

The professor shook his head regretfully: "No. I was busy with other things at the time, so I gave him a form and asked him to fill it out for me. He refused on the third day, saying that he didn't like group action and was not used to it. But I The old man has sharp eyes, and he clearly saw that he had filled out the form."

Cen Baiyan couldn't help feeling a little disappointed: "He must want to go."

"It was only later that I found out the reason. The people I brought with me were all postgraduates and doctoral students. The group of guys muttered a few words that Xiaoxuan's legs and feet were inconvenient, the rainforest was wet and muddy, and the terrain was complicated. I am afraid that a lot of energy will be devoted to taking care of him. These words Xiaoxuan probably heard it." The professor sighed, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's been so many years."

Cen Baiyan's throat choked, and he suddenly thought of what was written in Xuanzhao's diary——

"In the afternoon, the lab was talking about going to the Southwest to participate in an academic forum. A teacher didn't want me to go with him. The place he was going to was in a mountainous area. He was worried that his students would have to devote their energy to taking care of me."

It turned out that his diary was not all fake. It turned out that such things had happened to him over and over again.

In his sophomore year, Xuan Zhao was 20 years old. With what excitement and anticipation did he accept the application form handed to him by the professor?How was he lost and discouraged after hearing the whispers of his seniors?

Maybe a similar scenario happened earlier. In junior high school, would Xuan Zhao occasionally look forward to standing on the plastic track on the playground, occasionally looking forward to being invited to try shooting, and occasionally looking forward to participating in class group outings? Activity.

No one cares how many times his expectations have been frustrated, but label him as "loner", "unsocial", and "solitary".

"When he was in graduate school, I asked him if he liked Chinese medicine, and he said he liked it." The old professor finally looked at the desk in the corner, his tone full of regret, "I asked him again, do you want to do academics or He said that he didn’t even do practice. He had more important things to do, and although he didn’t like that thing, he had to do it. I guess he meant starting a company. I don’t know about the gossip, but I heard It is said that he is now running a business by himself, which is impressive, but I don’t know if he likes to do it.”

Cen Boyan's nose felt sore.

It turned out that Xuanzhao was not a so-called gifted person at all, he worked harder and worked harder than others.He likes his major, and he desperately likes it in the limited time, because Xuanzhao knows that one day, he has to do other things.

Fate is like a pair of invisible hands, pushing Xuan Zhao to walk on the established path behind his back. He has never made a choice freely.

Back at the hospital, Cen Baiyan told Xuan Zhao what happened today.

"If you like it, how about we open a medical clinic by ourselves in the future, you will be the boss and prescribe medicine in front, and I will be the boss's wife to eat your soft rice," Cen Baiyan said with a playful smile, "I'm stinky and shameless anyway, I just like to eat soft rice." Rice, save decades of struggle."

He lay prone on the side of the bed, resting his hands on his chin, staring at Xuan Zhao for a long, long time.

During this trip, Cen Baiyan suddenly realized that he really didn't understand Xuan Zhao.

For example, he didn't know that Xuanzhao had adopted eight stray cats in the school's stray animal rescue organization, that Xuanzhao would buy a lot of useless things at charity bazaars every year, and that Xuanzhao had participated in condolence activities in nursing homes.

He is obviously the most qualified person to walk under the sun, but he hides himself in the shadows.

"You're so stupid," Cen Baiyan blinked slowly, "You're so stupid, Xuan Zhao."

What kind of person is Xuan Zhao?

Cen Baiyan has not been able to give an answer until now, it seems that nothing is right, and nothing is accurate.

After thinking for a moment, Cen Baiyan gave his own definition——

"It's someone I love deeply."

At ten o'clock in the evening, Chen Wei came over. This guy was extremely noisy, his voice was so loud that even a sober person like Cen Baiyan couldn't stand it, let alone a comatose person like Xuan Zhao.

"Mr. Xiaoxuan, when will you open your eyes! There is no filial son in front of the long-term hospital bed, and the son is so ruthless to his parents, let alone Cen Baiyan treats you." Chen Wei shouted next to Xuanzhao's ear, "If you don't open it again With your big eyes, Cen Baiyan is about to turn his back on you! Yesterday at eight o’clock in the morning, a beautiful woman asked him about the scale."

"Get off, get the fuck out of here." Cen Baiyan kicked him and pushed him away, "This is a hospital, quiet, understand?"

Chen Wei laughed shamelessly: "I'm using stimulation therapy for Teacher Xiaoxuan."

"I stimulate you|Mom!" Cen Baiyan gave him a middle finger.

"You know what?" Chen Wei took an apple from the fruit basket, "I'll wash the apple and eat it."

"Bring the kettle, and bring back the pot of boiling water by the way." Cen Boyan ordered him.

Chen Wei rolled his eyes: "Do you think I'm a free labor force?"

After receiving the hot water, Chen Wei came back with a kettle in one hand and an apple in the other. At the elevator entrance, he met a little girl in a green dress, quietly, holding a bouquet of purple flowers in her hand.

People are beautiful, flowers are ugly.

Chen Wei felt that the flowers looked familiar. Isn't the bunch of flowers in Teacher Xiaoxuan's ward also purple?It's so ugly together!

So he took a second look at the flower in the little girl's hand, the little girl was very vigilant, glared at him, and ran away.

"Do I look that much like a hooligan?"

Chen Wei not only asked his soul in his heart.

"Absolutely, Cen Boyan, I just met a girl outside, holding an ugly flower, what kind of aesthetics does this girl have now!" Chen Wei gnawed on an apple while wandering into the ward, "Just this flower Some people bought it too, I think most of them are people with stupid money-I|Fuck?!"

The little girl who was arranging flowers by the window turned around, her delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and she looked at Chen Wei with displeasure.

The apple fell from his hand to the ground, Chen Wei scratched his neck: "Isn't it a coincidence, isn't it a coincidence?"

Cen Baiyan laughed out loud: "Coincidentally, her name is Qiaoqiao."

Chen Wei laughed, grinning.

Xuan Zhao on the hospital bed seemed to be aware of the noise at the moment, and suddenly frowned slightly, and curled up his fingers flat on his side almost imperceptibly.
