"The barbecue by the school is still economical!"

"That is, where can I find such a good boss and boss wife after graduation!"

"Oh, let's not talk about this, cheers!"

"Do it!"

On Saturday night, the four people in Yan Yan's dormitory had already arrived.

At the beginning of school, you must go outside to have a good meal, and you must not go home drunk. This is the practice of the brothers, and the "Big Brother Zhang BBQ" at the snack street at the school gate is their best choice.

Brother Zhang's barbecue skewers live up to its name, they are really big, so the business is endless, and it enjoys a super good reputation among the student community.

After eating for three years, the boss is very familiar with them, and every time he will give them an extra big portion of lo mei made by his wife.

Yan Yan knew in his heart that the four of them would part ways soon, and he didn't know when they would gather for a meal like this again.

Although they are not considered to be dormitories of top students, they are divided into groups. The roommates are all people with clear goals and plans.

The four had different majors and were arranged to live in a mixed room.

The eldest is a civil engineering major, majoring in water supply and drainage, planning to find a job, and has already started an internship at a construction site during the summer vacation; the second eldest, Yan Yan, majors in architecture, and has long planned to go abroad, but recently he is too busy because of Yan Ningzhi's oppression Desperate; the third and fourth are also majoring in civil engineering, but they are studying road and bridge. The two walked together on the road of postgraduate entrance examination, chasing the design dream in their hearts together.

After taking a gulp of beer, the glass quickly bottomed out.

"Second brother, you are the most fun, you can play so much that you can't see anyone in one day!"

"Wronged me?" Yan Yan clinked glasses with the boss, "It's been a while since I got a part-time job."

The third and fourth children were bluffing on the sidelines:

"Isn't it?"

"Your father cut off your living expenses again?"

Except for the teachers of the college and everyone in their dormitory who knew that Yan Yan was actually the son-in-law of the dean of the Faculty of Arts, this matter was still a secret in their department.

The brothers have all heard Yan Yan talk about how he had a lot of troubles with his family in order to choose a major, so naturally he didn't go out and talk to other classmates.

"Which school are you going to apply to? Haven't decided yet? Don't let your old man see the joke."

Yan Yan squeezed the center of his eyebrows, and said very irritably:

"When I talk about this, I get annoyed. The latest GRE test will not be taken until the end of October. If there is time, I just don't have enough time. Now I have one head and two big ones."

"Speaking of this..." The third child was taken aback when he heard the words, then exchanged glances with the fourth child, and said to Yan Yan, "I saw you on the pre-selection list last time."

Yan Yan was even more taken aback: "Huh?"

If you want to keep the postgraduate entrance examination, you have to look at the ranking first. Although the third and fourth are not qualified, but because they both have to take the postgraduate entrance examination, they will naturally pay more attention to the ranking.

As for Yan Yan, who was so focused on escaping from Yan Ningzhi's clutches, he had been devoting himself to preparing for his language test, so he didn't pay any attention to this matter at all.

The third child was speechless, rather the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuchs were in a hurry, he said with a lemon in his mouth:

"You really don't care? Please have a little self-consciousness as the number one professional, okay? The first one on the list is you!"

Yan Yan teased:

"Although I am excellent, isn't it my ambition?"

The fourth child chimed in:

"But to be honest, the necessity of going abroad is really not that high for our major. C University's Department of Architecture is the top three in the country! Such a great opportunity, don't you think about it?"

In fact, Yan Yan also knew this truth, but he had put down a word with the old man very early on, saying that he must go abroad to study in graduate school.The father and son have been arguing for more than three years, and Yan Yan is still awkward if he asks Yan Yan to go back and forth first.

So I have been gritting my teeth and preparing to go abroad.

But Yan Yan is in a good mood recently, so good that he almost forgot the old man made things difficult for him.

Regarding the matter of studying abroad, it is only natural... a little shaken.

Especially now, a piece of news that is both effortless and quite flattering is in front of us——for Yan Shaoxia, who "makes excellence a habit", it is almost at his fingertips.

He pondered in his heart: he had to think about it again.

Don't delay your "lifetime event" because of the bad old man at home.

The boss finally spoke, and he also suggested very sincerely:

"No matter what, you still have to attend the waiver defense at least. Get the quota first. Even if you still want to go abroad, you can give up the quota. There will be no delay for either party."

While eating and drinking, the boss lamented:

"I'm leaving in a few days, and I'm going back to practice. Don't miss me too much!"

Yan Yan and his brothers laughed and clinked glasses together.

From now on, the eldest seldom lives in the dormitory, and the third and fourth can't wait to sleep in the library every day. I'm afraid it will be rare for the three of them to play games together.

Yan Yan thought to himself, and drank the rest of the wine in the glass again.

After a lively chat all night, when they returned to the dormitory, it was already past the time to stay at the door. The four of them had no choice but to humbly promise to the dormitory auntie that they would come back early in the future, and then they were let in in despair.

"A bunch of little bastards! It's not easy to worry about just starting school!"

Yan Yan drank a little too much, took a shower feeling dizzy, climbed to the upper bunk after washing, and fell headlong on the bed.

There was a roommate who was not particular about falling asleep when he came back, and now he was snoring like thunder.

No one knew who turned on the air conditioner for a long time. After the other three returned to school, Yan Yan honestly handed over the remote control of the air conditioner that had been staying in his bed for two months.

Yan Yan yelled at the people below, telling them to set the air conditioner at a certain time and not to turn it on all night, but no one paid any attention to him.

He rubbed his forehead with quite a headache, found a comfortable position under the quilt, and planned to sleep after watching his mobile phone for a while, and had to get up early to go to work tomorrow.

After all, the boss won't understand if you have a hangover tonight.

Yan Yan was scrolling through the circle of friends, when a message suddenly hit Yan Yan's eyes, instantly sobering him up.

——It was a photo shared without any text, and the photo showed two people he was very familiar with.

Yan Yan raised his forehead—this casual selfie style, this low-pixel front camera.

The little old man and the young man compare each other with "yeah", isn't this his real father and who is Xin Ran?

If it hadn't been past twelve o'clock, Xin Ran would have been asleep for his health sleep; if he hadn't spoken loudly on the phone and a pillow would fly up from the lower berth, he would have been unable to restrain himself from calling Xin Ran. impulse.

Yan Yan was a little surprised and a little depressed at the same time.

Fortunately, he had been thinking for so long about how to persuade Xin Ran to continue his class—after thinking about it for a long time, this guy is in the same school as him?Or a student under his old man?

I don't know if it was the effect of alcohol, but Yan Yan's heart was beating fast at this moment, and he tremblingly spoke for a long time, but he failed to send a word to Xin Ran.

I simply lost my phone, but I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

Yan Yan buried his face in the pillow, and after a while, he stretched out a hand to grope around the quilt, and finally found the mobile phone that he had lost far away just now.

Then he raised his eyelids and sent Yan Wan a message.

After posting, I tossed and tumbled for a while before finally falling asleep.

Early the next morning.

If it wasn't for being woken up by Yan Wan's call because he forgot to turn off the phone after drinking alcohol last night, Yan Yan would probably be late for work in the morning.

He didn't remember when he turned off the alarm clock at all, and went back to sleep?

Yan Yan bewilderedly called "Mom", and Yan Wan was not polite on the other end of the phone:

"Mom, why don't you go to bed in the middle of the night and don't get up in the morning, is this a good habit I taught you?"

Yan Yan sighed and muttered, "You are so fierce..."

"Hmph," Yan Wan cleared her throat, tried her best to restore her dignified Kochi image, and asked, "You sent me a string of 'Mom and Mom' in the middle of the night, and then didn't talk about anything serious, what are you doing?" What are you going to do?"

"Ok?"

Yan Yan's mind is still not clear at the moment, trying to recall for a while, it seems that she has indeed sent such a message to Yan Wan, she instantly regained consciousness, and hurriedly asked:

"Old man... when will he have a class? I think... well, let's go and listen to a class."

"Look, the sun is coming out from the west?" Yan Wan sneered, "Your father went to attend the N City Academic Seminar. It's been two days, don't you know?"

"That's a good thing..."

"what?"

"No... I said that's a pity," Yan Yan turned over and sat up on the bed, and climbed the ladder to get out of bed in two steps, "Then when do you have class? I'll take a class."

"Where did you suddenly sing?"

Yan Wan rolled her eyes. Although Yan Yan couldn't see her from this side, she was quite relieved that Yan Yan was willing to attend the class, so she confessed:

"I have an introductory class on Monday afternoon, tomorrow. Come if you want."

"Okay, is it for the students of the Academy of Arts?"

"That's a compulsory course for other people. If it's not given to the students of the Academy of Arts, can it be arranged for you?"

"You are so fierce..."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Yan felt refreshed.

He thought that tomorrow afternoon would be just right—Xin Ran would come to the fitness class at that time, but Xin Ran took a short vacation, and there were no other students changing classes temporarily, so he just happened to be free.

He had already greeted the manager and said that he might ask for leave several times in the later period, and the manager also understood the situation of his part-time job as a student—not to mention that Yan Yan is now the "little master" of the National Fitness.

The manager happily promised at that time that although the perfect attendance award was gone, at least his salary would not be deducted.

Yan Yan finished cleaning up as quickly as possible, the third and fourth child had already gone out to the library before him, and only the eldest was still snoring in the dormitory.

He arrived at the gym on time without any risk, found the manager non-stop, and asked for leave tomorrow afternoon. He had an idea and said that he could make up for Wednesday night, and the manager naturally granted the leave with satisfaction.

Yan Yan was lucky, maybe his perfect attendance award could still be saved.

After changing into the coach uniform, he couldn't help but want to send Xin Ran a message to discuss this beautiful coincidence.But on second thought, if you can't meet him tomorrow afternoon, ask again.

——Wouldn’t it be a great surprise if we could meet each other.

At that time, I will say something domineering: I have seen through your "true identity" a long time ago.

Quite domineering.

At this moment, Xin Ran didn't know that he was being calculated by others, and he was so busy that he couldn't touch the ground.

In the past two days, he first revised the courseware of his compulsory courses overnight according to the latest course requirements, and then rushed to report to the school a plan to start elective courses, and met two or three prospective graduate students who wanted to invite him to be a master's supervisor—— To be able to come to him so early to talk to him, it is estimated that they are all excellent students who are sure to keep their graduate studies.

He even took the time to get a haircut, and was dragged by his administrative colleagues to take a brand new half-length photo, which is said to be added to the exhibition wall of the teaching building of the college.

Xin Ran raised her forehead, it was the hall on the first floor where people came and went.

After an extremely comfortable summer vacation, I suddenly get busy now, which can be said to be more spinning than a spinning top.

Xin Ran and Jian Jian will take compulsory courses for sophomores and freshmen this semester, one for each grade, and they will also offer an optional course.Of course, there is their own academic research to continue to do.

Calculated in this way, there are six classes a week, and I will do my own tasks in the rest of the time.

At the end of September, he will go to participate in the defense of the postgraduate qualification of the school.

Xin Ran sighed, she was too busy.He thought to himself: I can only get this week busy first, and then think about going to Yan Yan's class.

The mobile phone on the desk vibrated, interrupting Xin Ran's extremely sad thoughts.

"Hello?" Xin Ran glanced at the caller ID, quickly picked it up, and said, "Mr. Yan, what's the matter?"

On the boulevard in front of the second teaching building of C University, many students came and went.

No matter male or female, fat or thin, as long as the student is tanned, but still can't hide the excitement on his face, he is undoubtedly a freshman this year.

Even though he suffered ten days of military training before school, he was still full of yearning and curiosity for college life.

Except it's kind of... dark and hard to tell who's who.

After Yan Yan finished her morning shift, she quickly finished a bowl of noodles.

He could have gone back to the gym for a short lunch break, but he couldn't sit still, so he went back to the dormitory first.

Near September, the sun is still very poisonous.

Yan Yan braved the sun and walked back to school as usual, hot and anxious, sweating all over.

Yan Wan's class is the second class in the afternoon, from four o'clock to six o'clock, with a 10-minute break in between.

He entered the dormitory door, took a comfortable shower, and it was only two o'clock after the shower, and he had to kill a while before going to class.

Almost every day in the past, Yan Yan felt that time flies, why is it so difficult today.

He had never looked forward to a certain class like this, not to mention that it was a compulsory course in the Faculty of Arts.

Talking about it can scare the bad old man in his family.

Yan Yan managed to dawdle for a while, and the time finally passed 03:30.

He took a breath, straightened his freshly blown hair in front of the mirror, looked at it and felt dissatisfied, so he simply pulled out a peaked cap and put it on, and then set off for the teaching building.

Both hands are empty, and there is no pen.

Quite the demeanor of a "thorny head" student.

When he arrived in the classroom, there were ten or twenty minutes before class began, but to his surprise, most of the people in the classroom were already crowded—these people were not dark, so they were not freshmen. .

But for this enthusiasm for class, it is estimated that it is the sophomore juniors and juniors.

Yan Yan watched the juniors and juniors rushing to the seats in the front row. He couldn't help thinking about his lost youth, and then sat down in the last row of the classroom by the door.

I didn't forget to wear the hat on my head upside down, revealing a complete face.

——If his mother couldn't see the face clearly, and didn't call his name in class, and just called "that classmate wearing the hat, get up and answer this question", wouldn't it be embarrassing?

Sitting by the door, Yan Yan was bored, watching the students who came late gradually filling up the back row of the classroom, and looked a little annoyed. He couldn't help being surprised at the fullness of this class, and admiration for Yan Wan spontaneously arose.

He lay prone on the seat, and he didn't care about the people around him, because he didn't see Xin Ran's outstanding figure at the moment, and he felt a little regretful, feeling that his luck was really not very good.

He opened WeChat, looked at Xin Ran's profile picture in a daze, and suddenly felt like a cat's scratching in his heart. He wondered if he should ask Xin Ran if he was in class at the moment?Is it near you?

After thinking about it, the class bell rang.

Yan Yan was still lying on his stomach, thinking wildly, and didn't notice that a person came in the front door, but felt that the crowd around him suddenly became commotion, and there were many noisy and low-pitched discussions.

——Although he didn't pay attention to what everyone was saying, and couldn't hear it at all.

Just as he was about to take advantage of the chaos and slip away quietly through the back door in disappointment, a warm and familiar voice entered his ears.

Then directly nailed him to the bench.

He raised his head when he heard the sound——

"Students, good afternoon." The short-lived microphone noise passed, and the classroom was instantly silent, "Because Teacher Yan is in a hurry and can't leave, I will give you today's literary theory. The school committee is in the class. Have you been notified?"

With a gentle smile, Xin Ran glanced at the students in the classroom, and slowly projected the first PPT, which is the basic requirement of this course.

"It's not the first time for everyone here to attend my class, so don't you need to introduce yourself? I don't need to emphasize the classroom discipline, right?"

The students here—especially the girls, nodded wildly.

"Okay then," Xin Ran continued to smile indiscriminately, "Everyone memorize this PPT for 2 minutes. Then we will start class."

Just because of looking at him one more time in the crowd, Yan Yan couldn't close his mouth again.

Yan Yan was stunned.

Who said that you can see each other at a glance in the vast crowd?

Xin Ran couldn't have imagined at the moment that the student sitting in the last row, huddled by the door, lying on the table, lucky enough to buckle a hat on his head, with a prickly face—would have It's Yan Yan.

Yan Yan heard a "thump" in his heart, and a bang in his head, and he didn't have the heart to think about anything else.

After he finally regained his strength and confirmed that he was really not dreaming, he finally heard what the students next to him were talking about:

"I haven't attended Teacher Xin's class since the first half of my freshman year!"

"That's right! Teacher Jian is really fierce!"

"Hmm! Teacher Xin is kind..."

"A lot of people I don't know are here to rub the class..."

"But... Teacher Xin is scary in a sense..."

"Is it my illusion? Do you think Teacher Xin is even more handsome after a summer vacation!"

Taking advantage of the time when everyone memorized the assessment requirements, Xin Ran took out his glasses from his bag and put them on. They were a pair of gold-rimmed glasses pretending to be gentle—it was amazing to say the least. It can subtly change a person's temperament.

As soon as the agreed 2 minutes arrived, Xin Ran began to talk about the introduction in a leisurely manner, and the discussion stopped.Except for a few students who quietly played with their mobile phones in the back row, most of the students were seriously sketching on the books.

It was even more impossible for Yan Yan to listen carefully.

But he didn't play either, just kept the same posture, lying on the table, staring at the figure on the podium without blinking through the gaps in the crowd.

The figure would walk around the podium from time to time, but it never came down to the students.

Thoughts were racing through Yan Yan's head:

Good guy, this guy has nothing to do to grow up to be that student, and he actually gives lectures in the university!Don't play tricks like this with him!

He is not Yan Ningzhi's student at all, but Yan Ningzhi's colleague!

He was still a little skeptical at first——How could Old Man Yan, who is so serious and serious, take a selfie with students, and compare himself to a pair of scissors that he was too embarrassed to compare himself to.

Now I figured it out.

Although he didn't know it at the time, Xin Ran was indeed Yan Ningzhi's student in a sense.

Yan Yan was stunned for a while, then wondered: where did his own mother go?

I... Do you want to tell Xin Ran that old man Yan is actually his father?

If I tell him, I always feel that I am a generation behind Xin Ran.

It's too embarrassing, so don't say it.

Yan Yan kept asking and answering in his heart, secretly observing Xin Ran for the whole class.Xin Ran was surrounded by students during recess, he didn't move his nest, and the people around him even thought he fell asleep with his eyes open.

But he didn't.

——He just watched Xin Ran put on the gold-rimmed glasses that he had never seen before, and his whole person was extremely refined.

——Watching him walk to the front of the projection occasionally, tap the important content that the students are asked to write down with his slender fingers, and don't care whether his white T-shirt is also projected with colorful content.

——Looking at him randomly picking some students' student numbers, his words were sharp, he faltered and doubted people's life when asked, but the smile on his face never faded.

——When he finished class, he asked the study committee to go to the podium, perhaps to remind the school committee to report the progress of this class to Yan Wan.

——Looking at how calm and easy he is in front of hundreds of students.

——Looking at him, I suddenly caught myself off guard, and came into contact with another appearance of him that I had never imagined.

No, it's not really "another look".

It is only when facing herself that Xin Ran occasionally reveals a different look.

Yan Yan thought to himself: The person in front of him is what he looks like most of the time.

It's not like the meekness during fitness, the laziness during rest, and the sarcasm during jokes.

Surprisingly, he looked like a serious person.

Yan Yan said with emotion: This is Xin Ran's domain, and he can get along easily in it, like a fish in water.

Simply glowing.

Yan Yan didn't realize until later that from that moment on, he never looked away from Xin Ran.

The scene of a large horse fall (噫
