Xie Huai's first reaction was to discuss with Qin Yiyan.After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, he first asked Xie Huai what he thought.

"I checked this program, and the written test is followed by the interview. There will be a question bank of more than 7000 questions for the contestants to prepare." He looked at his phone and hesitated, "But I don't have a deep understanding of world history, so I memorized it all. It takes a lot of time."

"Recite all of it?"

"Well," Xie Huai looked up at him, "Is there a problem?"

Qin Yiyan shook her head: "I think you've already won in terms of attitude. Anyway, I can't recite [-] history questions. When I was an undergraduate student, I almost didn't get enough grades in architectural history."

Xie Huai caught off guard and choked on his saliva, rolling his eyes resentfully.

"I really don't like to memorize things. People always have their own areas of expertise." Qin Yiyan closed his laptop and looked at him seriously, "Since you like history and have a good foundation, I definitely encourage you to participate. I used to represent the school to record Variety shows, I have met a lot of TV station teachers, and I think it is still meaningful.”

"You've actually been on TV?" Xie Huai was as excited as if he had discovered a new world, "What program, which episode?"

He suddenly felt a little lucky. Fortunately, the Internet was underdeveloped five or six years ago. Otherwise, with Qin Yiyan's face and education background, he might have become popular on the Internet.

"It's just a popular science program. I'm in charge of doing demonstration experiments, and I don't have many scenes." He explained calmly, "I mainly want to try things that others can't get in touch with."

"I also know that opportunities are rare, but..." Xie Huai clicked his tongue, but stopped talking.

Qin Yiyan frowned slightly, and stared at him for a few seconds: "But what? If you have something to say, maybe I can help."

"The primary and midterm exams are coming together, so I'm afraid I won't have time to review." He carefully considered, "If you want to change your major, you won't be able to fail."

"Isn't there still me?"

"But it's too much to waste your time helping me fulfill my dream..." Xie Huai said halfway, feeling his face burning, and then fell silent again.

"Selfish?" Qin Yiyan thought about the context for a long time before answering.

He lowered his head in embarrassment.

Qin Yiyan took a light breath, finally figured out why he deserted a few days ago, and sighed: "I did it voluntarily, can't you see it?"

"But I always feel that our contributions are not equal."

"As long as I think it's appropriate." Qin Yiyan said almost without thinking, "I never waste time on insignificant things."

It's just some feeling, it's hard for him to express it exactly.

Xie Huai's pupils shrunk slightly, and he blinked suspiciously.However, Qin Yiyan didn't seem to want to continue this topic, and gave him a teaching aid: "Leave it to me next week, and then prepare for the competition with peace of mind."

Undoubtedly, Qin Yiyan's words reassured him.Xie Huai thought that even if it was for him, he could not live up to his expectations of himself, so he filled out the entry application.

For the next two weeks, he spent time in the library brushing up questions and reading books. Half of the more than 7000 questions are in his knowledge reserve, and the rest are topics that he has never been interested in. However, it is also a very fulfilling thing to gradually clarify the changes in the European Middle Ages in the process of doing the questions.

On weekends, he goes to the office to do his homework.Qin Yiyan arranged him on the small table next to him, and when there was no problem, the two of them were busy with their own affairs without interfering with each other.If there is something he doesn't understand, Qin Yiyan will catch him and talk about the topic, and ask him to recite the definition and formula until he understands it completely.

The two cooperated more and more tacitly, and Xie Huai's ability to accept gradually improved. He even figured out the chemical reaction that had troubled him for a semester, and his confidence increased greatly.

The three mid-term exams went so smoothly, and he didn't even realize that the direction of his efforts had changed from not failing a subject to getting a high score in the exam.

The selection for the initial test was also very smooth, with a total of 70 questions in the test paper and 30 points for short answers.Xie Huai memorized the question bank in half a month, and he basically knew all the questions he got.

Three days later he received a text message for an interview.The re-examination was arranged at the Communication University in the west of the city, and non-related personnel were not allowed to accompany him, so Xie Huai had to take the subway by himself.

The campus is spacious and unfamiliar. Facing the new environment, Xie Huai couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After walking half a lap along the river, he felt more relaxed.

Volunteers took him to the building where he was interviewed.There are a total of more than ten colleges and universities in the Jingzhou competition area, and the top 10% of the written test are selected to enter the semi-finals. At this moment, those sitting in the waiting area are all future competitors.

There was some noise in the room, some people fidgeted back and forth, and some introduced themselves with earphones.Seeing them pacing up and down, Xie Huai felt calm.

Anyway, no one knew the teacher's question, so he read over his self-introduction, huddled in his chair and waited for his number to be called.

The types of questions in the interview are much more flexible, and it also examines the ability of the contestants to adapt on the spot when recording the program.After Xie Huai introduced himself, the teacher heard that he majored in civil engineering, and asked him his opinion on arts and sciences.

Xie Huai answered truthfully according to his own ideas and his previous experience in answering questions.When the interview was over, he thanked the teacher with a smile, tidied up the tables and chairs and left the classroom.

No major mistakes.Xie Huai felt that he had tried his best and walked out of the school with ease.

Walking to the school gate and looking at the traffic on the road, he suddenly hesitated - after finishing the work with great difficulty, how could he not go out to have a meal to celebrate?

Thinking of this, he ran towards the subway station as fast as he could, but was stopped by the horn of a white car on the side of the road after a few steps.

He looked back and felt that the car looked familiar. He turned to the side and saw that Qin Yiyan was turning to look at himself with the window halfway drawn.

"Why are you here?" He couldn't wait to open the car door, and a sweet smell of blue wind chimes entered the tip of his nose.

"Come out to do something, and I'll take you back along the way." Qin Yiyan started the car, "Did the interview go well?"

Xie Huai nodded: "At least I'm not nervous enough to say the wrong thing. As for whether they agree with my point of view, it depends on luck."

"That's good." He glanced at him from the corner of his eye. "I thought you had anxiety when you were breathing a few times before, but luckily it didn't affect your life."

"I am a person who has experienced life and death, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Xie Huai leaned on the seat with a smile, looked at the gradually familiar road outside the window, and frowned again, "Qin Yiyan, are you really planning to send me back directly? school?"

"Otherwise?" He asked inexplicably, even sounding aggrieved, "Why don't you accompany me to the hospital to get some medicine?"

This guy's EQ is too low, he literally has the word "straight man" written on his forehead.Xie Huai had no words to refute for a while, and turned his face on the floor with resentment.

Qin Yiyan parked the car in front of the red light and carefully looked at his sulking appearance. He felt like a cat that had been hungry for a long time and was waiting for its owner to feed it, cowardly and greedy.

"Forget it, I'm not joking." He retracted his eyes, "Recently, I have worked hard preparing for the exam. I plan to take you shopping and have a meal along the way."

"Really?" Xie Huai's eyes suddenly brightened, revealing the high-spirited enthusiasm of a cook.

Qin Yiyan looked at his blinking eyes, and coughed dryly to cover up.

The brothers and sisters in the same group distributed wedding candies, and he realized that the two had been tired of it for a long time.Seeing them falling in love at public expense in front of his eyes, Qin Yiyan, who is "hardworking and studious", summed up some rules and planned to try it on Xie Huai.

Seeing how he was trying to suppress his smile, Xie Huai asked with a serious face, "Qin Yiyan, do you really not feel any emotion at all? I see that you are obviously very happy when you bully others."

"I really don't realize it. This disease is just like this." Relying on his poor brain, he said shyly, "But you are the only one who knows, so Xie Huai, I will ask you to teach me a lot in the future."

"Keep an inch." Xie Huai turned his head to one side and muttered in disgust.

Listening to him scolding herself, Qin Yiyan thought for a moment without knowing why, and tentatively said, "I'll tell you a piece of good news——I calculated the shear force coefficient last time."

"That's great!" Xie Huai instantly forgot the episode just now, and praised from the bottom of his heart, "Is this your independent research result? Can it be named after you like the scientist in the book?"

Qin Yiyan was amused by his exaggerated reaction: "That can also be called 'Xie Huai coefficient'."

"my name?"

"Because I calculated it when I was writing the questions with Xie Huai."

His tone was as flat as usual, but Xie Huai's heartbeat stopped when he heard it, and there was an illusion of love in a trance.

In fact, Qin Yiyan still has a lot to say to Xie Huai.Yangli's architecture is more design-oriented, and the requirements for mathematics and programs are not high.But at that time, he just wanted to graduate early, and even skipped the master's degree and directly applied for a Ph.D.

In the first year of his Ph.D., he was simply inferior to others. In addition to going to the laboratory to check in, he also had to make up various professional courses. Every day was spent in busyness and anxiety.

Even when he met Xie Huai, his body had not fully recovered.

"Then let's accompany you to the hospital to get the medicine." After a long while, he choked out a sentence, "Is it a conventional medicine or is there something uncomfortable?"

"It's already taken." Qin Yiyan touched the pocket of his clothes, "It's just an ordinary sedative."

"Are you often uncomfortable now?" Xie Huai asked with concern.

"It's okay, but there is always a period of time every year that is particularly irritable." Qin Yiyan glanced at the date on the control screen, suddenly lowered her voice, and asked in a serious tone, "Xie Huai, if your matter can be resolved, I think Try quitting the drug again, when the time comes... can you accompany me?"

As a result, when it came to the second half of the sentence, the voice was as low as that of a mosquito.It is estimated that in so many years, Qin Yiyan made the request of "accompany me" for the first time, and he was so nervous that he gripped the steering wheel tightly.

Xie Huai didn't expect to see him embarrassed in his lifetime, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "No problem. I sold the bag you gave Ayao, nearly a year and a half of rent. This is the Xie Huai Fund , then we can all make a fortune!"

"Isn't it all my money?"

"Cash is certainly more valuable than a bag." If it wasn't for his driving, Xie Huai would have pinched his thigh, "Don't be so impulsive next time."

He nodded obediently.The car was quiet for a while, only the licorice smell of the blue wind chime perfume remained, mobilizing the cells of the whole body in a vague way, as sweet as a candy stuffed into the mouth.

Xie Huai smacked his lips a few times, and asked curiously: "Qin Yiyan, why do you put female fragrance in the car?"

"Because this wasn't my car, I brought it here from my hometown after my mother passed away." He glanced at the half bottle of perfume dangling on the front of the car, and lowered his eyes thoughtfully, "This is her favorite scent, I've had two bottles already."

Xie Huai realized that he had said something wrong and apologized quickly.

"It's okay, I want to commemorate her in this way too."

In fact, both of them didn't realize that once the relationship was confirmed, Qin Yiyan could easily rely on others.Like a guide dog for a blind man, he desperately needs someone to be the medium between himself and the outside world.In the past, she was the mother who raised her, but now it is Xie Huai who broke in by mistake.

Xie Huai didn't dare to ask any more questions, and waited quietly for the car to drive to the destination.

The two came to the busiest commercial street in the city.There was an endless stream of people, looking at the dazzling array of goods in the cabinet, they walked around aimlessly.

Qin Yiyan touched Xie Huai's shoulder: "Is there anything you want to buy?"

Xie Huai has no experience of shopping with others. The last time he was called to carry bags by several girls was when he graduated from high school two years ago.

"Why don't you just buy food." He stared at the supermarket on the basement floor eagerly.

"Is there no shortage of clothes?" Qin Yiyan suggested, "You should dress more formally to participate in the show."

"I have a suit in my bedroom." Xie Huai scratched his head, "Actually, I don't know how far I can go."

Qin Yiyan denied this idea, and took him into a men's clothing store: "Don't think too much, just treat it as buying you a birthday present."

"You still know my birthday?"

"I glanced at it when transferring files."

Xie Huai was flattered, thinking that this guy must have noticed him without saying a word.

After a few rounds of shopping in the huge shopping mall, he finally settled on a dark green short jacket that fits his eyes. After taking it to the mirror, he gesticulated for a long time and found it difficult to match it, so he walked back to the hanger in embarrassment.

"Try this." Qin Yiyan took off the dark pink T-shirt from the hanger, and threw him a pair of pure black straight-leg pants.

Pink with green?Xie Huai looked at the mixed colors in his hands, and walked towards the locker room suspiciously.

When he changed his clothes and came out to stand in front of the fitting mirror, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"From the perspective of chromatics, the saturation of these two clothes is relatively small, and the lightness is also in the same range. Your skin tone is fairer, and it will look softer." Qin Yiyan sat on the sofa, pointing to the lower body and said, "Pairs well with your new shoes, too."

People around heard their conversation and cast curious eyes.Xie Huai didn't even remember what he was wearing, and when he looked down and saw the apricot-colored sneakers he bought on a whim, he suspected that he said it so loudly on purpose.

Seeing that he was wearing a black shirt that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, Xie Huai also carried him to the hanger and took off a white sweater: "Does it look good?"

There are dark lines on a white background, which is very abstract.Qin Yiyan observed it carefully and said, "It still has a sense of design."

"Then you go in and try?"

"It's kind of naive to me."

"But I like to see you dressed younger." Xie Huai encouraged him.

Qin Yiyan couldn't resist him, and didn't want to bother to explain, so he walked into the fitting room and fulfilled his wish.

Because he was closed for too long, he was much older than his peers. Seeing this eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy's attire, he couldn't help laughing.

"You should try to change yourself." Xie Huai poked the corner of his mouth, "Smiling is appropriate."

Qin Yiyan was noncommittal, went back to the fitting room to change, and let him handle it.Xie Huai had just sold the bag and bought several sets of clothes because of his money.

Walking out of the shop, he looked at the deposit, grabbed Qin Yiyan's arm and howled: "It's over, two months' rent is gone."

"This is your Xie Huai Fund?" Qin Yiyan teased him.

"I will try my best to save money, but I can't save where I should use it." Xie Huai pulled him to the entrance of the underground supermarket, "Come on, let's go buy food."

Walking into the supermarket, he arrived at his home field.The supermarket was crowded with people, and Qin Yiyan almost lost it several times when he walked behind.

"You bought such a thing, can you finish it?" After a while, the shopping cart was full.

Xie Huai rearranged the plastic bags neatly and cleared a lot of space: "Not many, and half of them are for you."

After finishing speaking, he fished out a few bags of lotus root powder and dairy products from the car: "This is a formula that I personally practiced when I was recuperating at home. It tastes sweet but not greasy, and has many health benefits. Drinking a bowl before going to bed is better than sleeping pills." Works."

A pack of lotus root powder was abruptly promoted by him as Cordyceps sinensis.Seeing him jumping so happily, Qin Yiyan raised his head in a strange way, and pressed his head: "If you fake it, you will pay ten."

The warm palm rushed into Xie Huai's heart like a ball of electricity.He shrank his neck, and was quiet for a moment: "Well...you can pay a hundred packs."

Since childhood, he has always played the role of protector in the team.Few people know that in his body of more than 1.8 meters, there is a heart that just wants to lie flat and be cared for.

Qin Yiyan's ability to lift a person's body with his hands gave him a great sense of security.Xie Huai's head became hot from being rubbed by him, and he leaned on his shoulder foolishly.

Qin Yiyan didn't reject his intimacy, but just shrugged slightly, reminding that this is a public place.

Xie Huai was greedy for the feeling of leaning against him, so he got up resentfully after a while, pushing the shopping cart and continuing to sweep.

I bought a cart full of things, and packed four bags when paying.Xie Huai stuffed the things into Qin Yiyan's hands and dragged him to lunch contentedly.

Qin Yiyan had no idea about what to eat, Xie Huai looked at the phone for a long time, discussed the taste, and soon decided to eat grilled fish.It was time for dinner, and the restaurant was overcrowded. The two of them collected the tickets first and planned to walk around the restaurant a few times.

Xie Huai couldn't think of what else was missing for the time being, so he took a quick glance and suddenly found a hand-made gashapon machine at the elevator entrance.

"There are anime characters I like here." He was quickly attracted to Qin Yiyan and walked over.

"Don't you like Rukawa Kaede?"

"I also like fairy tales. To be a man, you must have a childlike innocence." He checked the style of the blind box, pointed to the upper right corner and said, "I hope I can get the astronaut money."

"Crack———" the machine started to run, pushing out a box from a row of identical packages onto the conveyor belt.

Qin Yiyan stood behind with his chest folded and saw the little black cat on the upper shelf of the glass cabinet. When he took out the blind box, he also went up to buy one.

Xie Huai was busy unpacking, and glanced out of the corner of his eye: "Is there something you like here too?"

"Well, one must have a childlike innocence." He couldn't repeat it emotionally.

Xie Huai had already unpacked the package, carefully tore open a corner of the sealed bag, and took out a red sports car base.

"Great, it's a hidden money!" He excitedly approached Qin Yiyan.

He gave a faint "um" and opened his blind box. Before he could take a closer look, he was interrupted by a loud cry behind him.

"I've already smoked this one, woohoo... Mom, please buy me another one!"

The two put their handles into their pockets, turned around and looked behind.

A little girl about five years old is sitting on the ground hugging her mother's thigh and acting like a spoiled child. It looks like she bought it.

There are people queuing up to eat at the entrance of the restaurant, and many people come to watch, pointing at the little girl and saying how capricious she is.The mother immediately put on a straight face when she heard the words, and dragged the crying little girl to curse.

This seems to be a daily drama in shopping malls.

The little girl cried even harder.Seeing that the farce was difficult to end, Xie Huai stepped forward and patted her lightly: "Don't cry, brother will trade you with a sports car."

"What, what?" She still didn't stop crying, looking at him with wet eyes.

"I like the donut in your hand." Xie Huai pointed at the girly pink color and smiled against his will, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."

The little girl wiped away a few tears and turned to look at her mother, as if asking for her opinion.

Mom just wanted to get out of here quickly and whispered, "Say thank you to brother."

She blinked happily, got up and stuffed the little toy into Xie Huai's hands, and said in a childlike voice, "Brother is a good person!"

Xie Huai also stuffed his things back into the packing box and handed them over: "But in the future, you can't cry over such trivial things, as it will affect others' rest."

The little girl nodded half-understood, and her mother thanked her, and dragged her away in a hurry.

Xie Huai watched the backs of the mother and daughter, weighed the donut in his hand, and turned his head thoughtfully.

Qin Yiyan stepped forward, and the two looked at each other tacitly without saying a word.

After a while, he sighed deeply: "Qin Yiyan, do you think I'm naive? Like a fool who has never experienced the dangers of society, and spares no effort to help others."

Qin Yiyan leaned over to observe his expression: "Why do you say that?"

"I had a similar experience when I was a child. I passed by a toy store and begged my parents to buy a remote control car." He paused here, "Guess what happened?"

"Beating?"

"No, my mother slapped me twice and left." Xie Huai looked at the elevator entrance with people coming and going, as if recalling the scene at that time, "I thought she was just scaring me, so she sat on the ground and cried for a long time , but when I opened my eyes, there was nothing there.”

"I was afraid of being abducted by human traffickers. No one could believe it, so I finally found a phone booth and called the police to ask the police to send me back.

I am the only boy in my family, Xie Dingcheng has high hopes for me, he always likes to use extreme methods to make me remember, telling me that the weak are not worthy of sympathy, he beat and scolded me since childhood..."

The originally calm tone suddenly stopped, Xie Huai closed his eyes, leaned on Qin Yiyan's shoulder and whispered in a low voice: "But as I grow older, my three views have gradually formed. The definition of 'strength' cannot be generalized, but rather You should judge the situation of yourself and others. Just like the key, if you don’t try it, how will you know which lock you are suitable for and where the meaning of your life belongs to?”

"I think you're right." Qin Yiyan felt the hot and humid breath on his face, and took out a pack of napkins and stuffed them into his hands, "Although I won't take the initiative to help others, I will try my best to help others if necessary." Do."

Speaking of this, he thought of the black cat figurine he had just drawn.

It was hugging a little chick it picked up from nowhere, lying on the grass and sleeping soundly.

Qin Yiyan put it in his pocket, touched the broken cub, and suddenly asked, "Xie Huai, will you adopt a child in the future?"

"If I have the ability, I will take a girl." Xie Huai nodded, "The Xie family's education has failed, and I want to use my own method to accompany her to grow up."

"Then she must be very lucky to meet you." Qin Yiyan lowered her head and her eyes fell on him quietly.

"Did you just meet me?" Xie Huai looked up, and the two looked at each other for a few seconds, but they didn't read the answer in his dark pupils.

Pausing for a moment, he concealed his disappointment: "Fool, it's 'us'. No matter what the future life is, I will bring her to visit you and tell her that there is another person in this world who is gentler than me."
