my botanist

There are two bedrooms in the small courtyard of the temporary research institute, one for Shaoxi and one for Xiaoling.

Ran Xingsu came out of the shower, wearing a silky silk nightdress with suspenders that only reached her thighs, and swayed several times at Teacher Shao's door.

Shao Xi put down the book in his hand, adjusted the glasses frame, and asked her: "Is there something wrong?"

Ran Xingsu raised the hanging curtain and poked his head in: "Mr. Shao, you are short-sighted. This is the first time I see you wearing glasses."

"Well, a little bit." Shao Xi continued to look at her.

"What book are you reading?" Ran Xingsu stepped in with one leg, "I never went to bed so early, the night in the mountains is so quiet."

Shao Xi raised his chin: "Let Xiao Ling tell you the wifi password, how you live in normal times, how you live here."

Ran Xingsu stopped her petting movements, stared at Shao Xi for two seconds, and relaxed what she was holding.

The door curtain came down with a crackling sound, and it fell on half of her shoulders.

It hurts, Ran Xingsu frowned.

Shao Xi saw everything, but he didn't speak, nor showed any expression.

Since Ran Xingsu was in pain, he was naturally unwilling to leave like this. He simply stepped forward with his other foot, walked to the small stool beside him, and sat down.

"I usually play with my friends at this meeting."

"I'm usually reading this meeting." Shao Xi said.

Ran Xingsu was so stunned that he took a deep breath, and then let it out like a sigh.

Teacher Shao naturally wouldn't accommodate her habits, only she, a humble guest, could accommodate the master's habits.

Ran Xingsu rested his chin with both hands, opened his big innocent eyes, and said, "Then look, I won't disturb you."

She thought that Shaoxi would definitely drive her away, after all, all students who study want to be completely quiet.

If Shao Xi drives her away, then she can still pester Shao Xi for a few more words.

But who is Shaoxi, since she met, probably there is no one who fulfills her wish.

She just nodded, just grabbed the book and read it again.

Ran Xingsu waited blankly, until the book was turned page after page, and someone even carefully took notes.

Ran Xingsu nodded his head and almost fell down.

Really sleepy, this flash, as if returning to the time of high school class, the exhaustion swept up.

"I..." She stood up unsteadily, "Going to sleep..."

The man just nodded, Ran Xingsu never expected to be able to sleep in Teacher Shao's room, and he would be wrapped up in sleepiness, so he felt that it would be here today.

Quite satisfied.

Lifting the curtain, this time the movement was swift, without hitting the body.

Amidst the clashing sounds of ding ding dong dong, Shao Xi's voice suddenly floated over gently and softly: "Good night."

"Good night." Ran Xingsu lowered his head and smiled for a while.

She went to bed really early the night before, and before dawn the next day, Ran Xingsu lay upright on the bed with her eyes wide open.

This bed was very big, and Xiao Ling curled up on the other side wrapped in a quilt, snoring a little.

Ran Xingsu looked at the wooden beam above his head, combed it for a while, and then recalled all the details since he arrived here yesterday.

It's quiet inside the house, but it's noisy outside.

It's full of birdsong, all kinds of chirping, some singing euphemistically, and some just roaring.

Roaring and roaring, they were still able to meet each other, one by two, one group by two groups, and then a cock crowed suddenly, tearing Xiao Guang apart.

This chicken is so powerful, it sounds like it's far away, but it sounds one after another, each sound can be high high C, straight into people's hearts.

Ran Xingsu turned over and stared at Xiao Ling's back for a while.

Xiao Ling didn't move a muscle except for breathing.

This little girl seemed to be doing her homework late last night, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.

Ran Xingsu was a little bored, but unexpectedly didn't want to play with his phone.

This place really doesn't have the atmosphere of playing with mobile phones.

Another ten minutes passed, and there was a sudden noise outside the house.

The voice is not loud, but Miss Ran's ears are pricked up higher than anyone else.

She almost jumped out of bed, but landed lightly, slipped on her slippers, and when the door opened, a gust of cool wind rushed in.

Shaoxi was fetching water to wash his face, and the usually tight ponytail hangs down a few strands loosely, filled with hot air, with the background of flowers nearby and mountains far away, just like a movie scene.

Ran Xingsu looked at the scene, opened his mouth and sneezed violently.

Shao Xi didn't turn his head back, and said, "Put on a coat and go."

"Morning." Ran Xingsu rubbed his arms, and instead of going into the house, he approached the yard, "I didn't expect it to be so cold on the mountain, and I didn't bring any clothes."

"I have brought pajamas, and there is no coat in the car?" Shao Xi's voice was interrupted by the sound of splashing water, "Liancheng is warm and cold this season. If you are thirty and minus twenty, you will catch a cold easily..."

Ran Xingsu felt that Teacher Shao probably just woke up and hadn't turned on his defense mechanism, so he was so nagging and caring about her.

"Am I washing my face here too?" She moved closer to Shao Xi, "This looks fun."

The mountain spring received by the bamboo frame continuously fell into the small ditch, circling the vegetable field in the yard, and the end point was unknown.

Shao Xi took the towel and wiped his face, raised his hand and splashed the water in the basin aside, and walked back with the hot water bottle: "You go to the bathroom to wash, didn't you use it last night?"

"Oh." Ran Xingsu lied without sincerity, "I forgot."

Shao Xi walked a few steps, stopped abruptly and turned around, his eyes swept over Ran Xingsu's bare shoulders and arms: "If you really don't have warm clothes, then we won't go into the mountains today."

"Yes, I have." Ran Xingsu changed his words immediately, "I forgot, I should have, I seem to have a suitcase in my car."

Shao Xi blinked, and entered the room with a towel.

When Ran Xingsu appeared in front of Shao Xi again, he was very neatly dressed.

Pink wide-leg pants and a beige long-sleeved knitted top are loose and stylish.

She showed Shaoxi her feet: "Sports shoes, mountain climbing is no problem."

Shao Xi smiled and put the porridge on the table: "Tell Xiao Ling to eat."

"Hey." Ran Xingsu felt that he had integrated into the group.

Teacher Shao always kept his word. After breakfast, she took Ran Xingsu into the mountain, and it was just the two of them.

Ran Xingsu, a wealthy young lady who has traveled around the world countless times, will be extremely excited, following behind Shao Xi, walking so lightly that she can dance.

"Where are we going?"

"In the mountains."

"We are in the mountains."

"Go deeper."

"Are there any ferocious animals in the mountains?"

"Not in this film."

"It's okay, if there is, I will protect you."

"Huh?" Shao Xi turned to look at her.

Ran Xingsu opened his eyes wide, Shaoxi repeated: "You protect me?"

"Yes." Ran Xingsu said, "I have learned karate, taekwondo, Muay Thai, Wing Chun, Shaolin Kungfu..."

"Wow." Shao Xi smiled and said, "So powerful?"

"Yes." Ran Xingsu was very happy to be praised, "Girls must learn to protect themselves."

"Then I'll change the direction, Wu Song will fight the tiger later." Shao Xi turned around and turned a corner.

Turn off the main road and go into a small path.

Ran Xingsu stared at her back, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and stood still for a while, laughing.

Shao Xi went out for a long way and saw that no one was following, he turned to her and asked, "What's wrong? Are martial arts wizards scared?"

"No." Ran Xingsu jumped on the spot, and then followed, "I'm not that stupid, I know you're joking with me."

"I thought you didn't need this head."

"Follow your smart one, you don't need it, let it save electricity."

"Don't worry about it, come and see that tree." Shaoxi left the road and raised his finger, "Dove tree, a living fossil of plants."

"Damn..." Ran Xingsu didn't hold back and popped out a tone, "You came to such a high level all of a sudden?"

"Otherwise, how can we deter you, the martial arts leader?" Shao Xi looked at the beautiful tree protruding from the lush green slope across the mountain stream, "You are lucky, there are still a few evening flowers hanging on that branch." Where are the flowers blooming?"

"I was a wizard just now and now I am the leader." Ran Xingsu walked up to her, stretched out his hand and pulled aside the branches that obstructed his vision, "It's white, so beautiful. I seem to remember, I learned it in the textbook, what is it called... ..."

Shao Xi didn't remind her that once plants occupy her sight, she always only looks at the plants and not the people.

Ran Xingsu thought for a while, then stared: "Chinese pigeon tree!"

"Yes." Teacher Shao judged the answer.

"Is this a rare and protected plant? Is it so common?" Ran Xingsu asked.

"It's not common here, this mountain, just these two trees."

"You brought me to see it?"

"Take you to see the living history," Shao Xi swiped his fingers around, including all the flowers, plants and trees in sight, "How beautiful it is."

The mountain wind swayed, and there was rain from last night and dew from this morning on the trees, fluttering and falling on the hair and shoulders of the two of them.

Ran Xingsu looked at Shaoxi, saw her serious appearance, the curve of her mouth raised by love, and those eyes that were really shining only at this moment, and wanted to say something in particular: You are the prettiest.

But she felt that this sentence was superficial, not worthy of the scene in front of her, and unable to praise the person in front of her.

From the first time we met, she was good-looking, she was very good-looking, she was so good-looking, she was always in Ran Xingsu's mind.

Now, she is more and more beautiful, she is exquisite and beautiful, she has posted the good-looking online again and again, but Ran Xingsu can no longer express her feelings directly.

She didn't dare to speak, she didn't dare to touch, and she didn't even dare to go out of her way to give gifts anymore. She didn't look like herself anymore.

However, they have only known each other for ten years.

"Okay, let me show you something down-to-earth." Shao Xi squatted down, and casually pulled a plant with small purple flowers next to him, "Inverted Pot, Boraginaceae, Glazed Grass genus. The Glazed Grass family has partial flowering It is on one side of the raceme. After fruiting, the small nuts will hang upside down on the lower side of the fruiting, so it is called this. It has thorns on the fruit, come and have a look..."

Ran Xingsu squatted down, Shao Xi suddenly raised his hand, and let the little flower in his hand slap on the edge of Ran Xingsu's pants.

"Hahahahaha," she laughed, "Come on, now you are their seed disperser."

Ran Xingsu stared at the smiling face so close at hand, his body felt indescribably numb.

She knew that she was finished.

It's worse than a blank paper for general subjects, and it's worse than losing her father's company.
