After returning home, Xie Huai's financial burden has been greatly reduced. He has three meals a day to be taken care of, and it doesn't cost money to eat well.During the day, he asked his high school classmates to go out to sing and play games, and when he returned home at night, the table was full of sumptuous meals.

The unexamined life lasted for a few days, and one night when eating, Cao Ma suddenly asked: "Xiao Huai, how is the food at your school?"

Xie Huai was burying his head in cooking, when he heard this he raised his head in surprise: "What do you mean?"

"I cleaned your bedroom today and found that the pillow and the floor are full of hair. I'm sure you can't keep up with nutrition, otherwise you wouldn't lose so much hair." Mama Cao babbled distressedly, "Master, it's true. It's your fault, and the living expenses will be deducted."

Speaking of hair loss, Xie Huai felt that the food in his mouth was no longer delicious, so he patted his head helplessly.

He knew that he had lost a lot of hair this year, and he also knew that the deterioration of hair quality was due to constant hair dyeing, but the faded yellow hair was so ugly that he couldn't resist dyeing it a second time, just like smoking a cigarette, it was a bottomless pit.

Why don't you wait until the new hair grows out?Xie Huai thought, the hairline is more important.

Cao's mother was still muttering in a low voice: "Auntie will give you some money? It's really a crime. I have to ask Dr. Xu to help you change the menu so that I can replenish my health during the holiday."

She was the nanny who raised Xie Huai since childhood, and the two were as close as a grandma and a grandson.Hearing that she was so worried about herself, Xie Huai was a little embarrassed: "It's okay, I can take care of myself."

No matter how poor he is, he can't rely on an old woman who gets a monthly salary to support him. One day he will leave the Xie family and start his own family. In fact, many things should be considered earlier.

Just take advantage of this holiday to go out to work and experience the future life earlier.Thinking of this, Xie Huai took out his mobile phone and searched for nearby recruitment information.Soon, he found an advertisement for "City Librarian Recruitment" among the various information.

Working in a library is the best option for him.You can read books in your spare time, and the atmosphere is also very suitable for review.The most important thing is that the salary is good, 180 yuan/day, at least one full month, and the salary is settled on a daily basis after the full month.Excluding the Spring Festival holiday, he can work for nearly 50 days, which is 9000 yuan, which is a rare income for him now.

Xie Huai was immediately full of energy. After returning to his room, he turned on the computer and wrote a job application resume with great emotion.

After finishing this work, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.He played a few games and was about to take a shower and go to bed, but he lay on the bed without falling asleep for a long time.

He went to the balcony to smoke two cigarettes, feeling more and more wrong.

At the dinner table, when Mama Cao mentioned the matter of hair loss, his first reaction was that Qin Yiyan’s hair seemed to be thicker than his own; Seeing Dr. Xu, the nutritionist at home, he subconsciously thought of Qin Yiyan's stomach problem.

Why was he brainwashed by this guy in just one semester?

Xie Huai stubbed out the cigarette irritably, looked at the gray night outside the window, and remembered Qin Yiyan was bleeding that day in the toilet, mocking himself for being meaningless.

When he woke up the next day, he still made an appointment with the doctor and planned to visit her sometime later.

Doctor Xu was surprised by his visit, and Xie Huai didn't elaborate, but said that he had a friend who was not in good health, and briefly summarized Qin Yiyan's situation.After he finished speaking, he also emphasized that the ingredients should be kept simple so that he can make them for himself.

"My little master, do you want to cook for others?" Dr. Xu had known him for many years, so he couldn't help but say, "Really just ordinary friends?"

Xie Huai realized the problem again and shut up in embarrassment.

He just thought that with Qin Yiyan's temper, he would definitely not take the initiative to cook and eat, but he didn't expect it to sound so ambiguous to others.

Seeing this, the doctor didn't ask any more questions, and said that he would give him the recipe next week. Xie Huai said thank you, and slipped away in disgrace.

It must be because I have been idle all day during this period of time, and my life is too comfortable.Three working days later, he received an interview notice from the library, and he successfully took up the job with a certificate based on years of experience in making up things.

After he started working part-time, his life became hasty. He had to overcome his problem of sleeping late and take the subway to work in the city during the morning rush hour.As the name suggests, the librarian is to help organize books, meet some older readers, and teach them to use search engines.

A total of five college students were recruited during the same period. After listening to the training, Xie Huai got started very quickly. With his height advantage, he could easily reach the highest shelf without climbing a ladder, and his tidying efficiency was much higher than others.Every time he is the first to finish his work, and then find a free corner to sit down and read a book.

The success of the Gongtu exam really helped him rekindle his enthusiasm for learning.Xie Huai still remembers that after receiving the notice of grade repetition last year, he was so angry that he tore up all the textbooks, and when he saw the library classroom, he was so irritable that he wanted to throw things.

At that time, he certainly never imagined that one day he would walk into the library, listen to songs and draw pictures, and read a favorite book in the sun.

During the Chinese New Year, the library was on holiday, so he could only obey the arrangement and go back to see his parents.I probably heard that he went to work in the library, and the conflict between the two generations was reconciled. My mother showed mercy and sent him a red envelope of 6 yuan.

When Xie Huai saw the money, he was so moved that he almost cried.

"Mother Cao said that you have lost a lot of weight, and the money is for you to buy food. If you dare to go to the bar to play all night, I will let your old Xie break your leg." Xie's mother Jiang Jin'an reminded him sharply.

"Understood, I will continue to work hard next semester." Xie Huai solemnly made a promise.

After seeing the seven aunts and the eight aunts, the year is almost over.Kong Xinhui took the initiative to contact him and asked how Gongtu's review was going.

Xie Huai replied that it was okay.He is very confident in his memory, and now it has only been a month, and all the knowledge points are in his mind.But thinking of another important matter, he still agreed to Kong Xinhui's invitation and asked the person in charge of the work for a few days off.

Kong Xinhui brought the notes she used for the final review and spent a few days helping him to highlight the key points.The new notes coincided with those drawn under Qin Yiyan's nose before, which inevitably made Xie Huai feel emotional.

He thought of the exercise book that Qin Yiyan had left for him, and when she helped him sort out the knowledge points in the book, he asked again: "Squad leader, I bought a few practice books, and I plan to do some practice questions before the exam. If there is something you don't know, you can come here ask you?"

"Of course." Kong Xinhui smiled at him.Xie Huai raised his eyes to meet her, but she ran away embarrassedly in an instant.

At this point, Xie Huai basically confirmed her intentions. Seeing the bright sunshine outside the window, he suggested, "The weather is nice today, let's go for a walk."

Kong Xinhui seemed surprised by this sudden arrangement, bit her lip and whispered yes.

Xie Huai was thinking about what to say next, while leading her to the small garden between the library and the Science and Technology Museum.

At the end of winter and early spring, when a thousand wastes are waiting to be rebuilt, most of the trees in the garden have bare branches, which looks a bit desolate at first glance.

Xie Huai took her along the pebble road for a while, and felt that the time was ripe, so he asked, "Squad leader, what kind of person do you think I am?"

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?" She blinked suspiciously, "I think you have a lot of bright spots in your body, you are good at singing, you are handsome in playing basketball, and you are also very good at helping others to uphold justice."

"Then if I tell you that I like boys, will you think I'm a different kind?"

"Ah?" Kong Xinhui's pupils shrank.

Xie Huai looked at her calmly - this was the most euphemistic thing he could think of.

"My parents are against homosexuality, but I know very well that I only like boys." Xie Huai shook his head and sighed, "I helped you stand out on the day I ran for class monitor because I couldn't understand Jiang's behavior. But after a semester of hard work, I I feel that your ability is getting stronger and stronger, and you are a qualified leader. A smart and strong girl like you must be chased by many people. When the time comes, you will have a bright future in research, work, and love. Unlike me..."

Thinking of the trivial matters at home, while talking, Xie Huai subconsciously brought true feelings into his voice, and his voice suddenly sank.

Kong Xinhui also slowed down and sniffed quietly, obviously feeling disappointed by the result.

The two walked the gravel road quietly in this way.After a long while, Kong Xinhui spoke first: "I understand your feelings, but Senior Qin is so kind to you, and I am sure he is willing to tide over the difficulties with you. After graduation, find a stable job and get rid of the shackles of your original family. bright future."

"What?" Xie Huai stared straight at the words, "Who told you that I like Qin Yiyan!"

"Don't be shy, it's the same when I have a crush on others. But you like each other, so you should speak up bravely." Kong Xinhui clenched her fists and cheered him on.

"..." Xie Huai was dumbfounded.

Originally, he was worried about embarrassing the other party, but it turned out to be a script for the heart-to-heart talks between girlfriends. He picked himself out of embarrassment with his toes, and directly picked out a dreamy Barbie mansion.

This girl's ability to understand is really strong.Xie Huai didn't know how to refute for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, he changed the topic and said, "Squad leader, your home is far away from here, right? I'll take you back."

"What's so funny about that?"

"It doesn't matter, we are friends anyway." After speaking, Xie Huai felt relaxed and completely accepted this friendship from the opposite sex.

Kong Xinhui didn't refuse any more and said thank you.After tidying up her things and getting into the car, she was a little surprised: "You have already obtained your driver's license."

"Yes, you will pass the exam after graduating from high school."

There was another silence in the carriage, and Kong Xinhui fiddled with her ponytail uncomfortably: "Actually, Xie Huai, there is something I've always wanted to ask you. It's about studies."

"Ask." He concentrated on driving without squinting.

"I feel that you speak quite bookishly. To be admitted to such a good university, you must not be a bad student, right?" Kong Xinhui said cautiously.

Sure enough, it was this matter.Hearing this, he sighed softly, hesitated for a moment and decided to have a showdown with her.

"Then your life is ruined!" Kong Xinhui was indignant after hearing what happened to him, "Fortunately, you met Senior Qin, he is really your savior."

"It's okay." Xie Huai didn't want to explain the relationship between the two of them, so he just muddled through it.

The Science and Technology Museum not far from the library is holding the fifth urban architecture summit.Qin Yiyan, as an outstanding doctoral student in the industry, obtained the qualification to participate in the study, and came to Zhicheng City with her supervisor and Professor Yang.

At the meeting, more than forty experts and scholars from home and abroad expressed their opinions and brought different research results.Qin Yiyan sat in the auditorium and listened carefully to the senior's speech.

Sitting in the stuffy lecture hall all afternoon, Qin Yiyan felt a little dizzy, and when the meeting was over, he slipped outside to breathe for a while.

This is the cultural and educational center of the city, and there are rows of large museum-style buildings.He walked along the path in the garden, wanting to relax, but accidentally bumped into two familiar figures from behind.

To be precise, it was one girl, and he calculated the other girl through Xie Huai.

The two walked together talking and laughing. Although they were too far apart to hear the specific content of the conversation, he could still feel the relaxed and joyful atmosphere between the words.

Qin Yiyan thinks that her empathy ability is weak, but when it comes to Xie Huai's matter, it's like getting through the two veins of Ren and Du, and she can feel any emotion.

Sure enough, they were dating.

The heart throbbed in vain, Qin Yiyan couldn't tell what it was like, only felt tightness in his chest.For a moment, he was overwhelmed by the strong sense of gap, and wanted to call Xie Huai on the spot.

After a while, he realized how ridiculous the idea was.

I and Xie Huai are just a teacher-student relationship, what right do I have to intervene in his life?Besides, falling in love with such an excellent girl as Kong Xinhui, any parent would be happy, right?

Anyway, I won't be a teaching assistant in the next semester. With her supervision, Xie Huai will definitely study hard.

Qin Yiyan sighed and walked back to the venue in silence.

In the corridor, Professor Yang and his tutor were chatting with others, sounding like acquaintances.Qin Yiyan walked past them without stopping.

"Xiao Qin, come here." Suddenly, Yang Wenwei stopped him.Only then did Qin Yiyan come back to his senses, and stood still in the eyes of everyone: "Is there something wrong?"

"Let me introduce you to a senior." Yang Wenwei pulled him over, "Xie Dingcheng, the chairman of Huagou Group, your scholarship is from their family."

Qin Yiyan suddenly realized, and immediately switched to the social mode, and shook hands politely: "Hello, I have heard of you for a long time."

"I've also heard Lao Yang mention you many times." The other party is about 60 or [-] years old, with many wrinkles on his face, but a tall and straight body, "Old Shen said that you are researching shock-absorbing materials. I went abroad for a meeting with him. It’s really good, as expected of Lao Cheng’s grandson.”

Hearing the familiar name, he took a half step back vigilantly: "Do you know my grandpa?"

"I'm ashamed to say that our two ancestors had a friendship. Later, my father and my grandfather chose different paths, so we broke up." Xie Dingcheng looked at the suddenly dark sky outside the window, his eyes were a little heavy, "When your father had an accident, I contacted Mr. Cheng, but unfortunately I still couldn’t help. But it’s not too late to meet you now.”

"Yes, Lao Xie, this kid is really smart. He was a natural artist when he was doing folklore investigations in Tibetan areas with Shiyuan since he was a child. He can do design and understand engineering. Now he is following Lao Shen and has invented many patents." Yang Wenwei photographed enthusiastically. Leaning over his shoulder, he leaned forward and whispered, "If you want to expand the Xie family's business to engineering design, you must choose Xiao Qin."

However, these expressions of regret and sympathy did not resonate with Qin Yiyan at all.He only felt harsh, and took a few deep breaths irritably.After a while, he belatedly noticed that Xie Dingcheng was also standing beside a woman who couldn't get in the way.

Probably about the same age as myself, with light makeup and dark ochre-colored lipstick, her skin looks good and her facial features are three-dimensional.Her dark brown hair was coiled up high, and she was wearing a pure white lady's suit with a certificate of participation pinned to her chest. She looked very capable.

"This is my little girl Xie Zeyao." Xie Dingcheng introduced at the right time.

"Hi." He answered politely.

Before the greetings were over, the host suddenly said that dinner was ready and invited everyone to have dinner.Seeing this, Xie Dingcheng said that he was familiar with the road here, and took them to the restaurant together.

Everyone will naturally not refuse.When he reached the door of the restaurant, Yang Wenwei quietly pulled Qin Yiyan into the toilet.

"Xiao Qin, what do you think of Uncle Xie's youngest daughter? She graduated from Cambridge."

Qin Yiyan recalled a little: "I feel like a woman worthy of respect."

"Then fall in love with such a girl, do you like it?"

"What?" He froze in fright.

"Lao Xie's grandfather and your great-grandfather were alumni of Southwest Associated University, and they were sent abroad together. Later, for various reasons, your grandparents chose to stay in the Southwest. They returned to Zhicheng to do business, and gradually lost contact." Yang Wenwei Tell him the story patiently, "You have suffered too much these years. As an insider, I must find you a good home."

"After I graduate, I will go back to my hometown to teach, and I won't dabble in the construction industry again." Qin Yiyan's attitude is very firm.

"Xiao Qin, don't be angry, I still don't understand your thoughts?" He also refused to give in at all, "Anyway, it's settled first. When the meeting is over and it's the weekend, you and Yaoyao will have dinner together."

"I..." Qin Yiyan was so excited that he almost revealed that he was a mental patient.

In theory, his situation was not ideal for starting a family.If you want him to take care of other people's emotions and maintain intimacy, it is better to solve the seven difficult problems of mathematics.

Unexpectedly, he was betrayed by his respected teacher.
