Genius Girlfriend

Lin Zhixia slipped away and ran to Miao Danyi, and chatted with her very friendly: "Hello, my name is Lin Zhixia, and I am a classmate of Wen Qi."

Miao Danyi took Lin Zhixia's hand and directly wrote the three words "Miao Danyi" in Lin Zhixia's palm as her self-introduction.

Miao Danyi also said: "I know you. You are a young genius girl, I have seen many genius boys..."

Lin Zhixia smiled.

Wen Qi turned his back to the two girls. He didn't even say hello to Lin Zhixia. He and Lin Zhixia met in less than half a month, and the two people said no more than 20 sentences, and the WeChat chat records combined did not fill a mobile phone screen.

On the night Wen Qi made a mistake in the email, Lin Zhixia sent him a message: "Would you like to chat with the senior sister?"

This news, in essence, was killing him.

Therefore, he did not reply.

From Monday to Friday this week, he asked for leave and did not go to the laboratory. Lin Zhixia asked him again: "Are you in good health?"

He answered the wrong question: "I read at home."

Lin Zhixia replied with a thumbs up expression. Wen Qi didn't know how to respond. As a result, they both fell into a cold field, and no one spoke a word.

This afternoon, Lin Zhixia, Jiang Yubai, and Miao Danyi came to Wen Qi's house as guests as if they had made an appointment. This made Wen Qi anxious like ants on a hot pot. He took three classmates into the dormitory and accepted a lunch given to him by Jiang Yubai, only then did he remember that he hadn't eaten lunch yet.

A strong sense of hunger struck, Wen Qi sat down with a chair, and the air was dull as silence. He tried to tell a physics joke: "Are both Lagrangian mechanics and Hamiltonian mechanics better than Newtonian mechanics? No, they are equivalent, hahahahahahaha..."

Lin Zhixia also found it interesting, and laughed "hahahaha".

Miao Danyi reluctantly twitched the corner of her mouth.

And Jiang Yubai was very calm and quiet, as if there was no joke in this world that could impress him. He chatted with Wen Qi for a few words, and always found the starting point of the topic. Sitting on pins and needles, Wen Qi had to say: "You talk first, I'll cook."

Miao Danyi said hurriedly: "I will help you."

Lin Zhixia answered, "Me and Jiang Yubai will also help you. I can wash and cut vegetables... By the way, I want to tell you about Aishwarya. It seems that you haven't received my email."

"Maybe I didn't see it," Jiang Yubai seemed to help Wen Qi round the field. "The school mailbox is full of various mails."

Wen Qi said nothing. He walked to the kitchen.

The communal kitchen area of ​​the dormitory is small.

Four people are standing in the kitchen, the space is a bit crowded.

Wen Qi took out a box of vegetables and beef. Lin Zhixia was washing the vegetables swiftly, and Wen Qi was cutting vegetables on the side. Jiang Yubai stood not far away, wiping a dining table with a rag, while Miao Danyi sat on a chair, bowed his head and responded to a mobile phone message.

Miao Danyi’s boyfriend Sun David sent a sentence: "Miao Miao, are you still shopping outside with your friends?"

Miao Danyi tilted the phone screen. Jiang Yubai's eyesight is very good, and he happened to catch a glimpse of her chat box. He said nothing, Miao Danyi asked him: "How are you going to tell David Sun?"

Jiang Yubai whispered: "You should talk to him first."

"What are you talking about?" Miao Danyi supported her cheek with one hand.

She mocked her eyes and said in a casual tone: "You told David Sun? What do you mean by asking him to find me a group of tutors? I was confused. I stayed at home all day and studied. Finish the homework assigned by the teacher. You really belong to you, a handsome guy with a darker heart than a crow."

"If tutoring is not suitable for you," Jiang Yubai suggested, "you can also bring it up. If you keep your words in your heart, it will do more harm than good to you and him."

Jiang Yubai's mood and temperament are as tranquil as a thousand-foot deep pool, giving people a very reliable and credible feeling-this special character is not common in young boys.

What's more, Jiang Yubai was still wiping the table diligently.

Jiang Yubai loves cleanliness very much. He did not let go of any corners, cleaning the table more attentively than the hotel waiter.

When Miao Danyi was chatting with Jiang Yubai, Lin Zhixia was also talking to Wen Qi.

Lin Zhixia asked softly: "Wen Qi, I find it very strange, why are you always reluctant to answer my questions? You rarely reply to my WeChat. I talk to you, ten times, and you talk to me at most once... …"

Wen Qi wiped his face severely with a greased rag.

His face suddenly became very dirty, very dirty.

Lin Zhixia frowned slightly, making it harder to understand Wen Qi's inner world.

What is going on here?

Lin Zhixia originally thought that she was very close to normal people. Unexpectedly, after she was promoted to the doctoral level, she was once again confused about normal people's behavior.

She put aside her doubts for the time being, and said straightforwardly: "According to my observation, our tutor is very busy, and he doesn't care about the email. Aishwarya-senpai is really angry. You can apologize to her at the group meeting... Actually , I should take the main responsibility. If I didn’t ask you, you wouldn’t write an email."

Wen Qi didn't think so.

At the beginning, he first brought up Aishwarya and was complained in front of Lin Zhixia. If he did not say, Lin Zhixia would not know. If he did not send the wrong email, Aishwarya would not be angry.

He is the main responsible person.

After Lin Zhixia washed a pot of cabbage, she said: "Your contribution to the paper has been deleted. I am trying to find a way to remedy it. I have a paper on hand that is almost finished. Would you like to cooperate with me? I can also post this one. Nature, you can be the second author."

Wen Qi sternly refused: "Farewell, don't compensate me with the second author."

His tone is very urgent and embarrassing. Lin Zhixia misunderstood what he meant: "Do you have other solutions? Aishwarya senior sister, I will continue to follow up. When I was young, people often called me a freak, I can understand senior sister. How uncomfortable I felt when I saw the word "vicious witch"... You relayed what the undergraduate said, but you are describing an objective fact. I believe you, you have no malice subjectively, you are willing to find it with me Does Aishwarya-senpai chat?"

Wen Qi let out a low sigh.

Bright red blood poured out from his fingers, stained on the white plastic cutting board, and the emerald green cabbage was stained red.

Wen Qi was cutting vegetables while wandering, and accidentally cut his finger. He quickly turned on the faucet to wash the blood stains, Lin Zhixia shouted: "Wen Qi's hand was cut by a knife."

Wen Qi lied inexplicably: "I made a small cut and it stopped bleeding."

Lin Zhixia said casually: "That's good."

Wen Qi turned his face away, not daring to look at her: "There are band-aids in my room."

Lin Zhixia said seriously: "I will accompany you to the bedroom to get band-aids."

Wen Qi waved his hand: "There is a fish in the pot, you are watching the fire in the kitchen."

Finally, Jiang Yubai accompanied Wen Qi back to the dormitory, leaving only Lin Zhixia and Miao Danyi in the public kitchen.

Lin Zhixia added a little seasoning to the braised fish, Miao Danyi came to her and asked, "Do you often cook at home?"

"Yes," Lin Zhixia said with a hint of pride, lowering her head, "I can cook a lot of dishes now."

Lin Zhixia's skin is well maintained, her skin is fair and translucent, and she seems to have no pores on closer inspection. Her facial features are very delicate, her eyes are especially beautiful, radiant and glaring, her eyelashes are thick and curled, like black butterfly wings, and her lips are ruddy and tender, just like delicate rose petals.

When she was talking to Miao Danyi, she was very close to the stove, and the heat continued to evaporate, her face was slightly pink, and her white cheeks became more and more affectionate. Miao Danyi asked, "Jiang Yubai asked you to stay home. Do you cook for him? How can he do this."

"No," Lin Zhixia retorted, "I don't live with Jiang Yubai."

Miao Danyi quickly explained that she and her boyfriend were living together, so she thought too much. She gave a detailed introduction of her origins, which instantly brought her and Lin Zhixia closer.

Lin Zhixia nodded and asked, "What is Malaysia like, do you speak Burmese?"

Miao Danyi honestly described: "My mother is a Burmese. She left when I was a child. I live in Malaysia. My father runs a company. I have four half brothers and sisters. I went to a private school when I was six. ..."

"Four brothers and sisters?" Lin Zhixia said of course, "It will be very lively."

The corners of Miao Danyi's lips were curved.

Lin Zhixia held the spatula and turned over the braised fish.

The smell of oily smoke drifted outwards, and the kitchen windows were covered with mist. Miao Danyi stirred a bowl of eggs, saying that he would make a good meal. She hasn't started cooking for a long time, and when the oil pan was heated, the splashing oil dripped on the back of her hand.

"It splashed on you," Lin Zhixia asked hurriedly, "do you hurt it?"

Miao Danyi said for no reason: "You are a very special and smart person."

Lin Zhixia blinked.

Miao Danyi pursed her lips and smiled: "You and Jiang Yubai have a very good relationship."

Lin Zhixia and her touted each other: "You and your boyfriend must have a very good relationship."

Miao Danyi curled his lips: "He doesn't like me, I don't hate him."

"What do you mean?" Lin Zhixia asked humbly.

This complicated situation reminded Lin Zhixia of senior Tan Qianche.

Lin Zhixia was gentle, lovely and considerate. In front of her, Miao Danyi's long-suppressed conversation box opened in an instant: "He has money, my father has no money. My classmate is smart, I am a fool. I can't take it. To the scholarship, the tuition and living expenses per year are tens of thousands of pounds...

Lin Zhixia straightened out the cause and effect: "Do you let your boyfriend pay for your tuition and living expenses?"

"Have you heard of the SugarDaddy website?" Miao Danyi's voice gradually became low, "There is a sentence that can be summarized...Ah, when I think of it, look at the essence through the phenomenon and get what you need."

Miao Danyi's words gave Lin Zhixia a great shock, and even surpassed the romantic history of Tan Qianche that she had witnessed back then. Her "Human Observation Diary" has new material.

Lin Zhixia couldn't help asking: "Which major are you a student?"

Miao Danyi lied: "Philosophy."

Lin Zhixia held a kitchen knife and cut a tomato: "What you said just now fits the definition of'Logoscentrism.' Logoscentrism uses vocabulary and language as the basic expression instead of external reality..."

Miao Danyi talked about "philosophy" casually. Whenever he thought of Lin Zhixia, he would talk to her about professional terms.

The braised fish was sizzling in the pot, Miao Danyi held his breath and said: "You want to scold me?"

Lin Zhixia shook her head: "I hardly curse."

Their conversation did not continue.

Because Jiang Yubai and Wen Qi are back.

Lin Zhixia is almost ready for lunch. She put all the food out, put it on the table, heated the claypot rice, put it in a porcelain bowl, and served it to Wen Qi. The four of them sat around the table, just like classmates gathering together, eating a meal in a particularly harmonious manner.

During the period, Lin Zhixia repeatedly asked Wen Qi: "When are you free? Let's talk to the senior sister."

Wen Qi covered his mouth without speaking.

Jiang Yubai thoughtfully. After a while, he said: "Next Friday, your instructor will have a dinner. You, Lin Zhixia and Senior Sister, can arrive early and look for opportunities to chat. Even if your talk does not go well, wait for your instructor to come..."

Before Jiang Yubai finished speaking, Lin Zhixia understood what he meant. She slapped the table and said boldly: "A good strategy! That's it."

No one opposed Lin Zhixia.

Lin Zhixia finalized the plan easily.

After the meal, Jiang Yubai and Wen Qi went to wash the dishes, while Lin Zhixia and Miao Danyi sat at the table.

Miao Danyi's skirt belt is a string. She drew the string out and tied a knot. Lin Zhixia had a whim and played a game of turning the rope with her.

Playing around, Lin Zhixia secretly asked her out of curiosity: "What is SugarDaddy?"

Miao Danyi smiled and replied: "The rich male and wealthy men date female college students from prestigious schools and pay them tuition and living expenses."

Lin Zhixia asked ignorantly: "Is this common?"

"Rarely, very small." Miao Danyi flipped his fingers and drew a bow.

Lin Zhixia picked up the rope with her fingertips: "Is there a SugarMummy website? Rich female rich, dating male college students from prestigious schools."

"No." Miao Danyi said.

Lin Zhixia thoughtfully.

Miao Danyi joked: "Do you want to build a SugarMummy website?"

Lin Zhixia shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, no, I'm trying to use'deconstruction' to analyze the problem."

Miao Danyi gave an "ah" and Lin Zhixia explained in more detail: "Deconstructionism means that a seemingly fixed and unchanging structure can be reshaped, and new meanings can be derived from a new perspective. , The fixed idea of ​​decentralization...I think of the structure of the blockchain again. The core theory of the blockchain is also'decentralization'."

Miao Danyi was silent.

Lin Zhixia was eloquent. She talked about deconstructionism from structuralism and post-structuralism, and also talked about the scientific philosophy theory of Karl Popper and Thomas Kuhn. Later on, she raised her voice slightly. Jiang Yubai and Wen Qi both listened to it. It must be clear--but they don't understand Lin Zhixia's philosophical terms at all.

In the evening of this day, on the way home, Lin Zhixia took Jiang Yubai’s hand and told him what he said in his heart: "I feel that the people and things I encountered have become more and more complicated. Primary and secondary schools, everyone’s goals It’s all just studying, in school, I lead a step-by-step life."

Jiang Yubai should say: "It's not too complicated now. When you graduate with a PhD and leave school, you often have to deal with others..."

"I understand," Lin Zhixia hugged his arm, "Senior Sister Wei Ruoxing told me that university professors are very busy and have to contact schools, enterprises, and units at all levels. The work of professors is not as easy as I imagined."

She said to herself: "I should be able to adapt. I can do everything I want to do."

"Of course," Jiang Yubai encouraged her, "I will always support you."

Will protect you forever. He thought to himself.

Lin Zhixia was very independent.

Jiang Yubai suggested that he accompany her to the mentor's dinner, but she tactfully refused.

Lin Zhixia believes that she can handle this matter properly, settle disputes in the group, and repair everyone's relationship.

Her first plan was successfully implemented. Aishwarya senior sister agreed to her request. On the day of the dinner, Aishwarya arrived at the restaurant half an hour earlier and sat at the same table with Lin Zhixia and Wen Qi.

The long table was covered with a layer of white cloth, silver knives, forks, and dinner plates were neatly arranged, candles were faintly flashing, and the pendant lights hanging from the ceiling were shining brightly. Lin Zhixia's seat was just under the chandelier. She took a sip of lemonade, moistened her throat, and greeted the senior sister cheerfully.

Tonight, Lin Zhixia put on light makeup, wearing a light black gradual starry sky dress, and also wearing a heart-shaped necklace Jiang Yubai gave her-her attire is stunning. Aishwarya-senpai looked at her for a few seconds and praised her for being beautiful and charming. She smiled happily.

However, when turning to Wen Qi, Aishwarya's attitude was much harsher.

She asked unsmilingly, why did Wen Qi write down her complaint in such detail?

Wen Qi only said: "Sorry, Iamsorry. (Sorry, sorry)."

Wen Qi looks very handsome. His face is well-proportioned, the bridge of his nose is high, and the corners of his eyes are slightly raised-this is originally a good appearance, but he wants to turn his face away, and only use the light from the end of his eyes to sneak a glance at the senior sister, which makes people feel that he is very despised. sister.

The elder sister was furious, suppressed her voice, and cursed a long string of words.

Lin Zhixia was stunned for a while before she realized that she was saying, "You listened to what the undergraduates said, and took their complaints as facts! Do you know my efforts? I have developed a training plan for every undergraduate. They call me a witch behind their backs, and you help them to quibble."

Lin Zhixia immediately defended. She believes that Wen Qi is not malicious, and she hopes the senior sister will calm down.

Senior sister is not calm at all.

She asked Wen Qi to formally apologize to her in front of the classmates.

Wen Qi fell into a tortoise state. He lowered his head and his breathing became slow.

No matter how the elder sister stimulated him, he never replied a word.

Lin Zhixia tried to stop the school sister's unilateral attack.

The elder sister asked her three questions in a row: First, if the student fails to meet your expectations, will you be disappointed? Second, can you control your emotions without hurting anyone? Doesn't it hurt anyone's self-esteem? Third, you discuss issues with people of the same level in the laboratory every day, thinking that the whole world is smart. After you leave this environment, can you still maintain a peaceful attitude towards ordinary students?

Lin Zhixia replied categorically, she will not be disappointed, she can keep her mind calm. The differences between people create different individuals. No one in the world can fully meet her expectations.

Aishwarya's eyes were fixed on Lin Zhixia's face for a long time.

Aishwarya meaningfully quoted a famous online saying: "Just because you are right does not mean Iamwrong. (You are right, it does not mean that I am wrong)."

At this time, students in the group appeared one after another.

They sat at the long table and talked in a low voice.

Aishwarya glanced at Wen Qi intentionally or unintentionally.

The classmates on the entire table seemed to be watching him.

He supported the tabletop with his elbows, clasped his hands, and put his hands in front of his forehead. Everyone thought he was religious and was praying before cooking.

There is also a handsome German boy with blond hair in their group. The handsome man was also a devout Catholic, so he prayed with Wen Qi. The dining table was filled with a holy and peaceful atmosphere, but Wen Qi suddenly said something.

Wen Qi spoke in fluent English. First of all, he wanted to apologize to the senior sister. His email damaged her reputation. Secondly, he didn't intentionally write an email—unless he prepared the manuscript in advance, he couldn't describe something through face-to-face communication.

As for why the complaint should be written in such detail...

It's because his memory is too good.

He said: "I am deeply troubled by this."

Lin Zhixia seemed to have found a soulmate: "I know you, I really know you, and so do I... I have so many things I can't forget."

However, Wen Qi's courageous explanation did not move Aishwarya-senpai. Aishwarya's face still didn't ease in the slightest, and Aishwarya didn't show a slight smile until the teacher took his wife to arrive late.

The dinner lasted more than two hours.

The tutor did not mention academic matters at all. He talked about a lot of anecdotes from the university-at this time, Lin Zhixia discovered that the emotional intelligence of the tutor and his wife were actually very high. They easily create a pleasant atmosphere so that everyone can gather together.

Lin Zhixia felt that she had learned it.

However, the conflict between Wen Qi and Aishwarya-senpai has not been resolved.

The morning after the dinner, Lin Zhixia called Jiang Yubai and asked him what should be done next? He advised Lin Zhixia not to pursue perfect social relationships. Aishwarya asked Wen Qi to apologize in public, and Wen Qi has already done it. This incident can be regarded as over.

Lin Zhixia said "um" to the phone.

After a few seconds, she suddenly said: "Senior sister is like a mirror, let me see myself before."

Jiang Yubai's voice softly coaxed her: "You have always done well."

"No," Lin Zhixia said in self-reflection, "When I first met you, did I hurt your emotions or hurt your self-esteem? You tell me the truth."

Jiang Yubai faintly remembered that when he was in the fourth grade of elementary school, his fighting spirit for survival was to "defeat Lin Zhixia". He dreamed of hearing Lin Zhixia say "Jiang Yubai, you are so strong, I lost, you forgive me".

After so many years, he has long forgotten his original goal.

By mistake, he heard Lin Zhixia’s apology: "Jiang Jiang Jiang Yubai, if I made you sad at that time, I'm sorry, I..."

He interrupted her: "Don't say sorry."

He said slowly: "I only feel lucky to know you since I was a child."

Tears welled up to her eyes for an instant, and Lin Zhixia said with a nasal voice, "You are so kind."

Before Jiang Yubai responded to her, Lin Zhixia said honestly: "I called my brother just now. I asked my brother if I ever hurt him. He said that I only called him once a month. I have been deleted from his memory..."

Jiang Yubai sneered: "It doesn't matter, you call him again next month and let him guess who you are."

This time, Lin Zhixia did not adopt Jiang Yubai's suggestion.

She wrote on the desk calendar in front of her desk: "Call your brother more often, from once a month to once every half a month."

At the end of October 2012, Lin Zhixia's life was on the right track.

In the research group, everything is business as usual.

Wen Qi will arrive at the laboratory on time at 8 o'clock in the morning every morning and pack his things and go home at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Even if it was windy and rainy, and the weather was gloomy and cold, he never came late and left early.

When he and Aishwarya met, they would say hello to each other-but other than that, there was no communication.

In order to compensate Wen Qi, Lin Zhixia insisted on cooperating with him on a paper. She handed over half of the work of the thesis experiment to Wen Qi, who did an excellent job. He also perfected one of Lin Zhixia's theoretical derivation steps and used another basis to express the calculation formula.

Lin Zhixia accepted his inspiration. For one week in a row, they discussed the content of the paper in the same office.

Wen Qi found that Lin Zhixia could understand all his ideas.

Even if his description is obscure, even if his description is fragmentary and fragmentary, Lin Zhixia can quickly understand his deep meaning. He no longer rejected talking to Lin Zhixia. Their division of labor has become smoother.

In early December, Lin Zhixia's thesis began to take shape. She submitted the paper to her supervisor, and the supervisor helped her modify it several times. Before Christmas came, Lin Zhixia submitted the paper. She told Wen Qi with a beaming look: "We will definitely make it!"

Wen Qi said: "Okay!"

During the Christmas period, the school was closed, and the entire laboratory building became empty. Students from European and American countries basically ran back to celebrate the holidays. Lin Zhixia still held his ground.

Before going abroad, teacher Gu Likai once said to her, guard against arrogance and rashness, keep your feet on the ground, and you will be successful.

Therefore, Lin Zhixia's academic goal is no longer to "finish a PhD in two years", but "I want to do the most work in the shortest time."

For her, Christmas holidays are no different from working days. She still goes out early and returns late every day, sitting in the office at noon, holding a lunch box for lunch. Jiang Yubai invited her to London for the New Year, but she refused him because she had a new research idea-she wanted to stay in the laboratory to solve her own problems.

As the New Year approaches, Jiang Yubai and his friends go to London.

At eight o'clock in the evening on December 31, 2012, Jiang Yubai sent a few photos of fireworks to Lin Zhixia. He said that when he saw the fireworks, he would remember that night in August last year.

Lin Zhixia remembered that she confessed to him that night.

But now, he didn't mention the word "confession" at all, but it triggered her imagination.

Sitting on the bed in the dormitory, Lin Zhixia secretly thought, is Jiang Yubai putting her off?

She spread out a paper, and her brain seemed to split in half.

Half of the brains are thinking: The greatest significance of quantum computers is to solve quantum problems. No matter how powerful a traditional computer is, it cannot break through such a limit.

The other half of the brain is thinking: I haven't seen him for a long time. This is the limit of my endurance as an ordinary human being.

She picked up the phone and sent him a message: "I miss you so much."

Jiang Yubai replied in seconds: "Look downstairs."

Lin Zhixia threw away the phone in surprise. She ran to the window and looked to the ground, and saw Jiang Yubai standing under a street lamp holding a bunch of roses. In the bitter cold wind, he stood upright, and the light covered the rose with a hazy fog, just like the scene in a dream.

Lin Zhixia's heart beats wildly.

She pushed open the door and ran up the stairs, as if to elope with him. When she caught his hand, she realized that his hand was slightly cold. She asked, "Why don't you call me?"

Jiang Yubai has reason and evidence: "I heard that you have been busy recently."

Lin Zhixia vowed: "No matter how busy I am, I will have time to see you!"

"Really?" Jiang Yu asked Baiyun calmly.

Lin Zhixia suddenly felt guilty, but still said stiffly: "Yeah, yes."

Lin Zhixia took him back to the bedroom and made him a cup of hot tea. He took off his jacket and only put on a shirt. He sat quietly beside the bed. The fragrance of roses wafted in the room. Lin Zhixia approached him and asked, "Didn't you go to London?"

"I just came back yesterday," Jiang Yubai replied, "I brought you a New Year gift."

Lin Zhixia pointed to the vase: "Your New Year gift, isn't that bunch of roses?"

Jiang Yubai put down the tea cup in his hand: "There are more than roses."

"What else?" Lin Zhixia looked at him.

Jiang Yubai took out a delicate wooden box from his coat pocket. He opened the box with a silver ring inside. Lin Zhixia was surprised: "Are you going to propose to me?"

Lin Zhixia wore a cotton dress. The skirt was the smallest size, which fits her body perfectly. When she brought Jiang Yubai up, she didn't pay attention to her dress. Now, she suddenly got into the quilt and muttered: "It's too early, let's not consider those issues for now."

Jiang Yubai lifted a corner of the quilt.

Jiang Yubai got on her bed, and she hid in the corner. Jiang Yubai grabbed her wrist and put the ring in her palm: "Proposing marriage is a future thing... This is a small toy."

"Little toy?" Lin Zhixia repeated Jiang Yubai's words with the quilt on her head.

Jiang Yubai smiled before saying: "Look."

He touched a mechanism of the ring, and the embedded silver rings overlapped so much. The ring became an astronomical planet, and each silver ring was engraved with English words.

Lin Zhixia stretched out her finger and poked the astronomical ball gently: "It's amazing."

"Do you like it?" Jiang Yubai asked her.

"Like it." Her eyes flickered.

Jiang Yubai pressed the mechanism again, and the astronomical ball changed back to the appearance of a ring. He said: "This is an astronomical ring designed by Germans in the 16th century. I asked a company in London to order it. I went to London the day before yesterday to get the ring."

Lin Zhixia played around for a long time and read the English words on the ring. Together, they were just one sentence: "Iloveyou more than all thestarsinthesky (I love you more than the bright stars)."

She flipped the sphere again and saw her name.

She put the ring away and put it on her left index finger.

Perhaps because of the lack of air circulation in the quilt, her sanity is not sober. She fell into Jiang Yubai's arms, he hugged her, and whispered: "Xia Xia."

Lin Zhixia loosened his clothes. She lay on the bed and whispered: "You hug me."

Jiang Yubai turned off the light and lay down beside her. The room was dim and there was no light. Under the cover of the dark environment, they kissed naturally. I don't know when it was, a shower of rain started outside. The sound of the rain was pattering, with the soft sound of the winter wind, and it hit the window sill of the dormitory. on.

The rain was getting bigger and bigger, and Jiang Yubai was still kissing her.

Lin Zhixia gently pushed his chest, the heat reached her palm. He returned to the prison of reason and paused all his actions. He said, "It's getting late, I will go home first."

"Now?" Lin Zhixia said, "it's still raining outside."

Lin Zhixia turned on the indoor lights.

The light came suddenly.

Jiang Yubai grabbed his coat and fastened it around his waist. He was still sitting on the bed, half leaning against the head of the bed, with a messy beauty. Lin Zhixia didn't quite understand what was wrong with him. She asked: "Are you uncomfortable?"

Jiang Yubai was slightly cramped: "I am very comfortable."

"Really?" Lin Zhixia asked repeatedly.

"Really." Jiang Yubai lifted his chin slightly.

Lin Zhixia touched his forehead: "It shouldn't be a cold."

She talked to him for a while, and asked him what he wanted to eat and play? When Jiang Yubai heard her mention "playing games", his thoughts drifted elsewhere. He can only say: "Let's play chess."

Lin Zhixia moved the chess board over. They fought for several rounds, and Jiang Yubai was smashed by Lin Zhixia, and the armor was not left—he originally thought she would release water for him, but she was still the same. Very good, he just likes her.

He gradually returned to calm.

At twelve o'clock at midnight, the New Year's bell came from afar.

Jiang Yubai still did not leave Lin Zhixia's room. The rain outside the window did not stop. Lin Zhixia flattened the quilt and asked, "Would you like to sleep with me for one night?"

He knew she didn't mean that.

He wickedly agreed: "Okay."

This night, he slept very unsteadily.

The single bed in the student dormitory is too narrow, and he is used to the spacious big bed. Lin Zhixia fell asleep with her back to him, and she was not at all wary. He keeps his arms around her waist, but it is a pity that Wenxiang Nephrite is a kind of sweet torture-if there is a seemingly non-existent aroma, soft and warm touch, it stimulates his senses and nerves, making him both excited and awake, how can it be A little sleepy?

He will never forget the last day of 2012 in his life.

In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Yubai got up early.

Lin Zhixia was still in a state of perplexity. Before he could distinguish between reality and dream, Jiang Yubai said: "I'm going home first, call me if I have something to do, or go to my house to find me..."

Lin Zhixia nodded and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Jiang Yubai recalled last night when Lin Zhixia leaned in his arms, and he accidentally touched her chest-this really shouldn't. He unscrewed the mineral water bottle, took a sip of water, and said, "I slept well."

Jiang Yubai now wants to go home to change clothes, take a bath, and get some sleep.

Lin Zhixia greeted him and watched him leave.

After the Christmas holidays, undergraduates ushered in their final exams.

Lin Zhixia took the time to participate in several teaching assistant training courses. In the training class, she got to know many doctoral students and post-doctoral students, which greatly broadened the communication range.

The new semester is about to begin, and Lin Zhixia received one bad news and two good news.

The good news is that the paper she collaborated with Wen Qi was published successfully. She also got a list of students who belonged to her.

The bad news is that the paper she co-authored with her Indian school sister was rejected by the editor. The reason for rejection is also very simple. The core point of the paper by the senior sister has been published by another research group first-this is a very common thing in academic circles.

For several days, the senior sister's mood was a little depressed.

This is probably the legendary "butterfly effect".

If the senior sister didn't delete Wen Qi's experimental work, she wouldn't have to spend time designing another method. She would submit the paper earlier than the other research group.

Lin Zhixia was very sympathetic to the senior sister, but there was no way. Rules are rules, they can only follow.

At the same time, Lin Zhixia officially took office. She is the teaching assistant for the course "Quantum Computing" this semester-she also has five colleagues. Six teaching assistants will jointly tutor dozens of students and give them classes in groups every week.

The more embarrassing thing is that Lin Zhixia is younger than her students. Her students are all 19 or 20 year olds.
