Shengsheng

2013 finally became a very busy and special year for the 23-year-old Liang Sheng.

For the entire first half of the year, he spent most of his time at school busy with graduation, as well as staying in school for postgraduate entrance examinations.

At the beginning of March, the former "Dragon Palace Project" scientific research team, including Jiang Xinwen, and Candy Papa Engineer Jia, all technicians came to the Great Hall of the People to accept the annual technology award awarded by the Chinese Academy of Sciences this year.

After the matter was over, these senior engineers who came to the capital for a meeting specially invited him out to have a private gathering together, and the group had a lively meal.

When he learned that Liang Sheng's current studies at Tsinghua University are doing well, and he is already seriously preparing his thesis.

Everyone also specially encouraged him, asking him to take the postgraduate degree first, and welcome him to come back to the big family of Hangzhou Port at any time in the future.

In particular, before the entire team left, Jiang Xinwen himself brought some local products from Zhoushan that he brought all the way to Beijing, and came to Tsinghua alone to see him once.

Looking back, this pair of teachers and friends had the good fortune to meet on that small island in Zhoushan half a year ago.

Now that Dr. Jiang is about to leave and go back to his hometown, to reunite with his wife and children who have finally reconciled because of this incident, it is natural to come to see him again, and before he left, some old guys who were reluctant to part with him did not forget to nag him some words.

"At 23, after graduating from university, I am no longer the kid I used to be, but an adult who really needs to take responsibility. Think before you act."

"..."

"In addition, remember the oath you made at the seaside of Zhoushan well. I'll just wait. Next time I see you, I'll call you Dr. Liang."

These remarks were not just a joke between the two at the beginning, but also Jiang Xinwen's sincere hope that Liang Sheng could always strengthen his academic perseverance and will, and continue to study hard.

In view of his excellent performance in professional courses in the past and his special contribution in Hangzhou Port this time, the school will also take the initiative to consider granting him a postgraduate quota and assigning him a separate postgraduate dormitory in mid-April.

In addition, his tuition and miscellaneous fees for the next four years, and the annual scholarship subsidy will also be raised by two grades according to his postgraduate study status, and further rational adjustments will be made according to his research progress in the future.

This was proposed by Professor Yao and his wife to the school.

Academician Gan held a serious meeting with teachers from other departments, thought about it, and agreed.

Because of the particularity of the Department of Mathematics at Tsinghua University, there is a high probability that Liang Sheng will continue to study with him in the laboratory during the postgraduate stage. It is not uncommon for the school to give these graduate students some preferential policies.

But I don't know why, although Liang Sheng also agreed and submitted the postgraduate application to the school before finishing his final defense, but at the same time, he rejected the school's preferential policies such as apartments and scholarships.

Regarding this matter, Professor Yao and his wife asked him to go to his home to verify the reason in private, but Liang Sheng was asked the reason seriously by his mentor, and the reason given was also very simple.

Because starting from the next semester of graduate school, he will no longer live in the collective dormitory in the student apartment on the school side. Unlike Zhuang Yao and Jia Sikai, some of them plan to return to their hometown after graduation, and some plan to stay in Beijing before they need to find a house.

Although he was staying in school for postgraduate study, he had already found an intermediary and rented a house in the capital in the early April before the hospital contacted him.

He has already looked at the house, which is based on a comprehensive comparison of several houses, and he has already negotiated a rental contract with the landlord.

The place was chosen outside their North Fourth Ring Road, in an ordinary community house in the Xuecun area.

The decoration is average. There is a not-so-small public toilet downstairs. There are vegetable markets and small restaurants nearby. Now the Yuanmingyuan is connected by subway and bus. There are also many college students, including Peking University graduate students and Ph.D. students, who share rent nearby.

The reason why Liang Sheng chooses to rent a house alone outside is because the place is not far from the school, so that he can go back in time even after class by himself in the future.

The second is because it is next to the school village where various small and medium-sized start-up companies gather together. It is more suitable to say that during his study, he continued to work part-time without any external interference and find some jobs inside and outside his major to maintain his studies. .

After all, his undergraduate degree was applied mathematics, and he has always been best at work such as numbers and calculations.

At one time, he also felt that with his personality all along, he should tend to spend his whole life in the direction of pure number research.

However, during his previous experience in Hangzhou Port, he also understood that numbers and calculations are not limited to written research, and it is also feasible to make some contributions to national industries and innovative technologies.

Especially in the past two years, many domestic electronics companies have successively launched mobile phone communication services, and for this reason they have absorbed a large number of mathematics talents in measurement and calculation.

For example, in the second half of last year, that is, in July 12, several related mainstream software companies have launched a trial of 7G video calls in communication software, which is a multimedia application engine technology called WAVE.

It can be seen with the naked eye that the 3G era that has already arrived, and the upcoming 4G communication era in the future will lead to huge innovations in this industry.

Mathematics talents are an indispensable part of this Internet age.

Liang Sheng, as a student who is about to graduate from an undergraduate degree, cannot be said to be sure that he will be able to gain a foothold in this new technology, but he also wants to develop more of his own life during the four years of graduate school. the way.

Because of this, he obviously had a good idea in his heart, so he found a house by himself near the school village, and spent some money to install a new computer with many better configurations, and made an independent personal studio.

It just so happened that two students from the Department of Mathematics of Peking University in the same class in the school next door also found someone to start a business together on the college student forum of their previous winter camp.

Liang Sheng took the initiative to get in touch with them, and they hit it off right away when they learned that the two of them had also talked about a plan to innovate in this area of ​​calculation technology in the first half of this year.

That's why the three of them have kept in touch through the Internet for the past few months, and they also recruited a junior from Beike to register a start-up company license with the Capital Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

The original starting capital for this license was paid by four people.

Liang Sheng is not the biggest among them, but the other three are mostly shy, introverted or not good at communicating with people, so he was made the first shareholder, and finally came up with this small company of traffic communication technology .

The name of the company has not yet been decided, it is only listed under the business license.

However, there are so many college students who plan to start a business these days in society. Few of them did not say that they are going to do something earth-shattering right away, but that they want to continue their interest in technology during the postgraduate stage.

In this regard, Professor Yao also behaved a little unexpectedly at the beginning.

Because logically speaking, if an ordinary person can have such a special family background and excellent grades as Liang Sheng, it is impossible for him to give up the shortcut he got from his family for no reason and choose a path that ordinary people would say to go. road.

But obviously, before that, Liang Sheng had already made sufficient personal plans.

He has that confidence, or in other words, his strength and character are enough to pay his own actual actions and the most reassuring plan for the blueprint envisioned in his mind.

Because of this, Professor Yao did not have any doubts about his student's personal choice afterward. Instead, he was rarely relieved and sincerely encouraged, and then let him make his own plans without interfering too much.

And just in time for the graduation season, because I just started my business, I asked a few seniors who were working in the student union in the past to help me get a license. Liang Sheng was also dragged to two dinner parties by the previous Senior Brother Wang and the others. .

There are so many people like this, and they might have to drink a lot of wine for dinner. In the past, when he was studying, Liang Sheng would never go, and when Zhuang Yao looked for him, he also thought that he would not go, but Liang Sheng finally Unexpectedly agreed.

The former him may prefer to be closed in his own world, taciturn, and not have too much interaction with anyone,

But through the trip to Zhoushan, he also understood that the outside world never rejects anyone from pursuing his dreams, as long as he shows his courage in an upright manner, he can create the true value of life.

And the most important thing is that he not only agreed to it, but he didn't stand in the cold after he finally went. When a group of senior brothers were drinking and talking about things during the dinner, although he was calm and didn't take the initiative to speak up, he looked completely different in the middle. Those senior brothers are poor, but they really look like a normal adult who should walk into the society.

However, Liang Caizi is handsome, tall and thin, and is born with an indifferent and high-spirited academic temperament. Even if he drank with a bunch of rough and sloppy old men, it did not damage his former campus boy. image of god.

And when we got together to talk about things later, everyone inevitably discussed the future of graduate school and Ph.D.

Senior Brother Wang knew that he definitely had plans to continue his doctorate exam in the future, so before paying the bill to renew his stall, he had a drink alone with Liang Sheng. , and gave him a lot of suggestions for future SCI papers.

He said that Tsinghua University is their alma mater, and even after graduating in the future, continuing to study is still the most ideal way out for everyone when they first enrolled.

Although ordinary people like them choose other paths due to practical factors, there are countless outstanding students in the motherland, and everyone is about to embark on the future path. We must respect each other for a better tomorrow for the country.

What he said was not without emotion, and Liang Sheng felt a little bit of emotion in his heart after listening to it. As a Tsinghua student for so long, everyone always has the same resonance.

And that night, Liang Sheng, the three brothers in a dormitory, and the senior brother who was entertaining guests went back to the dormitory after drinking.

Catch up with today's sultry night, he took a shower and lay down on the bed, but he suddenly couldn't fall asleep after drinking a little too much tonight.

It was the first time in his four years in college that he was a little bit drunk.

For a long time, his inner world of asceticism, apart from the studies he has been concentrating on, knows almost nothing about external things and disturbances.

He doesn't have a complete understanding of the images and desires of the colorful world, so that when some strange things come unconsciously, he can't actually feel them.

Just thinking about it carefully, it has been almost three months since he came back from Zhoushan.

During this time, he has not changed much in his personal life.

Occasionally recalling some things that happened during that time, there are only the burning clouds on the seaside of Zhoushan and the blurred gray-blue horizon bordering it, and there are not many other clearer pictures.

Just at this time, he suddenly wanted to call someone in the dead of night.

That person's number is actually stored in his cell phone right now.

The two of them have not actively contacted each other for almost two months. This was actually a very common thing in the past, and it seems to be the same in front of us.

But to some extent, he could reach out and make that call immediately.

But after thinking about it, it is actually almost early morning, and most people in the outside world must be asleep. Even the three in their dormitory have fallen drunk on the bed and snored, and everything seems out of place again. .

But he also knew that he really wanted to make this call now.

There is an unprecedented urgency, a trace of bewilderment that is different from the past, and a trace of care that is carefully suppressed in the depths of my heart.

This kind of concern is so obvious that he can hear the hanging bell in the dormitory, so obvious that he can hear the slight rotation of the small fan above his head.

Even, it was so obvious that he seemed to think of it in a trance last week, when he returned the last set of periodicals he borrowed with his student ID in the library, he accidentally saw a novel written on the back of a certain bookshelf mezzanine. One line.

①——【"There is something that will blow like the wind on a summer night."】

"Well... Third, what time is it... Why haven't you slept yet... Didn't you drink a lot too..."

It was about going down to get up at night, and at this moment, classmate Jia Congming, who was about to come down drunk with a flashlight from above the wire bed, suddenly made a sound on top of Liang Sheng.

The weak flashlight shone in the narrow dormitory, and it also illuminated a piece of darkness that belonged to someone who didn't know who it belonged to.

This made the expression remain silent, and Liang Sheng, who had been silent since just now, involuntarily glanced up.

And a moment later, seeing his roommate scratching his waist in the dark, stepping on slippers and swaying back and climbing into bed like a big fool, he was still lying on his bed and kept awake, so he suddenly said this sentence slowly and earth-shatteringly.

"Jasquet."

"Huh? Why?"

He didn't understand why he called himself, and Jia Sikai, who was too drunk, also responded.

"Do you still remember a question we discussed in the dormitory one night before I went to Zhoushan?"

Liang Sheng asked him in a serious tone.

"Ah? What, what's the problem?"

Jia Sikai hung on the top bunk with a drunken look on his face and asked with his tongue out.

"In this world, what kind of relationship between two people is love?"

"..."

This question is really difficult for Jia, who drank a lot today and is still so dizzy that he can't even distinguish Arabic numerals.

But on this big night, this kid is also a bit over the top.

In addition, Liang Sheng, who hadn't talked to him in 800 years tonight, actually talked to him about such a topic. His mind was dizzy, and he immediately opened his mouth to talk nonsense,

"Wh... what is love... Hiccup, you are asking the right person, but before I answer you, tell me... why did you suddenly... ask me this question?"

Liang Sheng didn't seem to want to answer this question from his drunken roommate.

But at the moment, there is no other person around him who can provide reference opinions, and he really wants to get some opinions on his abnormal behavior from others immediately, so after careful consideration, the somewhat uncomfortable young man still looked at the top of his head dryly, With a frown came such a sentence.

"Because I found out that I've been thinking about him lately."

"……miss her?"

"Hmm." The honest student Liang Sheng answered implicitly and seriously.

"Oh, that's... how much do you think?"

Jaskai asked drunkenly again.

"..."

"If you don't tell the truth... I'll just fall asleep."

"I really want to."

"..."

"Even, as soon as you close your eyes, you will start thinking."

As a last resort, some details related to my bottom line were exposed in this way.

Although Liang Sheng himself felt that it would be a little strange to talk about such things with Jia Sikai as if they were discussing academic issues, but after answering, he still rationally waited for his friend's analysis.

"Ha, ha... no wonder... I said why did you suddenly ask this... what... is love, um, love, isn't love just that when you fall in love with someone, you will think about that person crazily... I also think about it during the day and at night, it's not that I love you, it's that I miss you...I think about it every moment...I don't think about it all the time..."

"Love is that simple?"

"No, otherwise... Hey, our great talent, silly third son, you are so smart, why don't you understand...Love is not like making movies... My parents are like that... What are you talking to them about? Love, do they understand?"

"..."

"Love in real life...it's that simple. Sometimes...maybe it's because the other person said, "I want to take care of you all the time, I want to be good to you all the time." That's how love happens, get married and have children, and go hand in hand In a lifetime, the love of so many people... No, it's not like this, no one would say that this kind of love is not sincere, this is the ordinary and warm love in the world... It is also the legendary, true love, ha, ha!"

"..."

"After you have such a person in your heart...you will start to hesitate...hesitate whether you should make a call, or you will doubt yourself...if you call, you will be secretly happy...this call doesn't matter what the end result is. Did you hit me or not... Your heart has already been taken away by that person..."

This drunken talk, although it was a bit disorganized, the philosopher of love himself fell asleep after finishing speaking.

But it has to be said that Liang Sheng, who had always lacked a real answer in his heart, fell silent instantly.

He should have been at least a little surprised or at least shocked.

But it's strange that Liang Sheng was not as flustered as he imagined after being punctuated by someone else's words like this, or in other words, what he's been waiting for for so long seems to be this kind of affirmation from others .

He didn't feel ashamed, at least at this moment, he seemed to finally be able to face up to his heart.

①——【"Catch you off guard, restless, with you, lingering, I don't know what it is, and I don't understand what it is."]

That night, the short poems written in this book turned into the scene of summer night and echoed repeatedly in the mind of the sleepless young man.

The person on the other side of the phone who didn't receive any calls all night couldn't possibly know what happened to the young man whom he hadn't seen for a long time during this period of time.

After all, this is still 2013, and most people at this stage cannot spy on the faces of people who are thousands of miles away from them with their mobile phones. This is a kind of speculation and unknown that is still reserved in this era.

Everything is just a comma with too many unknowns reserved at this moment, and the rest is only hidden in this poem, and no one intends to mention it this night.

①——【"This is love."】
