fall in love with a mentor

"Well, now we know each other, hehe! Have you eaten yet?"

All she wanted was to end the conversation quickly, but Jia Xi shook her head involuntarily amid the man's candid smile.

The man showed sincere joy, "Great, I didn't eat it either, let's have a meal together. It's not so easy to meet Chinese people in this kind of place!"

"Hmm..." I wanted to refuse, but it turned into acceptance when the words came to my lips.Although everyone used to eat together at school, he never got along with everyone because of his withdrawn personality. When other people boarded the school bus in groups and went around the campus looking for delicious food, he was always alone in the recent past. restaurants eat the same pan mee.Maybe it's because she's been lonely for too long, but Jiaxi has no reason to reject this man who doesn't seem to have any malice in front of her.

"I invite you, thank you. This is not far from Kelong Seafood Restaurant, let's go there to eat!" Junyi said on his own initiative, and took a step forward naturally, as if he wanted to hold his hand.

Feeling a little flustered by such an intimate act, Jiaxi instinctively took a step back and broke free, and hurriedly responded, "That's so embarrassing, let's use the AA system!" Did she overreact, Jiaxi followed behind Junyi a little annoyed One step away and walked forward.

Junyi looked back at him, as if everything was clear in his heart, he smiled slightly, and said nothing more.

Maybe he should find a reason to leave, but Junyi's unique temperament attracted him, and he couldn't speak up if he refused.

He purposely found a seat for two by the window, sat down, Junyi waved to the waiter and asked for the menu. "What do you want to eat?" Junyi asked as if talking to himself while flipping through the menu.

"Whatever!" Jia Xi flipped through the menu. He seldom goes to restaurants to eat, and he has no experience in ordering food. He is not very particular about food. As long as he can fill his stomach, he basically has no other requirements, so he said Casual is not polite.

"Then eat seafood! When you come to the beach, you must eat seafood." Junyi recommended with a vivid expression, "Two crabs! Is the salt and pepper flavor okay?"

"Hmm..." Jiaxi's eyes were stung by the price on the menu. Crabs cost 7 SGD per 100 grams. Jiaxi quickly calculated the price in RMB, which would be 350 yuan per kilogram. For Jiaxi, who has always been frugal and controls daily food and beverages within 50 yuan, that is a week's food expenses.He began to regret what he said casually.And the man on the opposite side seemed to be specifically against him, "One more big lobster." Hearing Junyi say this, his heart twitched, he couldn't take care of himself because he was so cash-strapped, and if he continued like this, he would pay the bill later I am even more embarrassed.Hastily turned the menu to the page of vegetarian dishes, and said to Junyi, "Shall we order a vegetarian dish?"

"Well, I think so too! Vegetarian dishes, you can order." The man gave in generously.

"Well," Jiaxi pointed to the cheapest water spinach to the waiter, and seeing Junyi still flipping through the menu, said hastily, "that's all. (That's all)"

Junyi raised his head and gave him a meaningful look, no longer caring whether it was ridicule or contempt in his eyes, Jiaxi hurriedly closed the menu and handed it to the waiter.

"What about drinks, what do you like to drink!"

"Water, hotwater!" Jiaxi said to the waiter.

Junyi smiled slightly, closed the menu, and said, "two glasses of hot water and rice. (Two glasses of hot water and rice)"

Facing Junyi's smiling gaze, Jiaxi turned her head out of the window in embarrassment.The hotel is built on the sea, and the rippling lights of the sea outside the window are flickering with dark blue waves, beating the stone pillars under your feet, and the sound of the waves is like soft whispers, and the dim lights specially arranged in the hotel also make this place look More suitable for a couple's tryst.

"Are you here for a tour?" Jun Yi asked, his voice was very soft, not loud, but clear and pleasant.

"Yeah." Jia Xi turned around and nodded.

"one person?"

Jiaxi nodded again, seeing that Jiaxi didn't want to talk much, Junyi turned the topic to himself, "I'm also alone. I've been to many beaches, but I still like this place the most. It's very quiet and there are few people. , you can fully enjoy the fun of the sea! Whether you are quietly basking in the sun on the beach, or swimming in the sea alone, no one will disturb you.”

Jiaxi likes this place because of this. The island of Bintan Island is lush with trees and surrounded by the sea on three sides. There are only hotels and resorts, but no residents. There are few people and it is very quiet. The only vehicles are between several resorts. shuttle bus.But far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, there is only pure yearning left in the heart. Jiaxi, who originally came here to relax, is immersed in the memory and cannot extricate himself.Whether it is the rising and falling of the waves or the sunrise and sunset, they all seem to be stained with sadness.

Jiaxi looked at the other party with some doubts, enthusiastic, hearty, and full of energy, obviously the type of calling friends in a bar, it was hard for him to imagine that Junyi would like such a quiet place.

"If you have time, it would be nice to live here for a month or two. This is a suitable place to bury the past." Junyi shook the water glass lightly, a look of pain flashed in his eyes, which surprised Jiaxi, but he didn't Without the desire to explore other people's past, he gently avoided the topic.

"Yeah." Politely agreed, but Jia Xi wondered, could the past be forgotten by being isolated from the world?No matter where you flee to the ends of the earth, your heart will never escape.

"Sorry, I said something inappropriate." Junyi seemed to be aware of the slight change in Jiaxi's expression, and immediately changed the subject, "Have you been to Singapore? My next stop is Singapore. I heard it is a very beautiful city." .”

"It's really beautiful, I think you will take a good photo!" Jia Xi smiled.What does Singapore mean to me?

After waiting for eight years, thinking that she could finally live under the same blue sky as Mu, Jiaxi burst into tears when she received the admission letter from Nanyang Technological University.But he didn't know that it was just a joke made by God. Just the night before he boarded the plane from Xiamen Airport, he suddenly found that the person's QQ signature changed to "Tokyo, the last stop of my study abroad career, no cherry blossoms The season is still beautiful!" It turned out that he had crossed thousands of miles of oceans, but he still couldn't catch up with him.

He cried that night, and the emotions he had suppressed for eight years turned into raging tears, bursting out of the embankment.

Mu, are we destined to miss it like this?So what's the point of me going to Singapore?

It was with such a mood that Jiaxi set foot on this strange and beautiful country, and she couldn't get out of such a lost state of mind for more than a year.And the phd life of doing nothing made this loss even more prominent, and Jiaxi had to spend most of her time in the pile of old papers in the library.However, just after a year of Phd, the always lazy boss was forced to resign because he failed to get the title of associate professor, so Jiaxi became a freelancer before the new boss arrived.But in the face of a future of ignorance and ignorance, such freedom makes people panic. QE (qualificationexamination, similar to the opening report in China, phd students can only officially become phd after one and a half years after passing the QE) After half a year, Jiaxi doesn't know if she can pass it smoothly, otherwise she may only choose to graduate with a master's degree .

"Wow, what a big one!" Jun Yi exclaimed like a child, pulling Jia Xi back from her memories.There is already a large plate of crabs and a lobster with its teeth and claws on the table in front of it.

"Hurry up and eat!" Junyi started to move unceremoniously, "I'm doing it!"

Seeing Junyi's child-like eating appearance, Jiaxi also gradually let go of her worries and let go of herself. On this remote island in a foreign country, eating with this beautiful strange man was a mess.
