Tao Ling glanced at Xia Chaoyang, and Xia Chaoyang just smiled calmly.

They asked each other about work and school, and before they said a few words, the waiter was already on the pot. The steam was steaming up, melting the cautious atmosphere between strangers.

While waiting for the bottom of the pot to boil, Tao Ling asked, "Mr. Xia, do you recognize my brother?"

Xia Chaoyang nodded lightly: "Junior Brother Tao, don't be so polite. I didn't hear Teacher Kou say that you have a brother before, but I was shocked when I saw you just now. It turned out to be Tao Jun's brother."

"Yes." Tao Lingying, "I look like my brother and I, more like twins. I am another Tao Jun, and others have said that since I was a child."

Xia Chaoyang looked at him through the white air: "It's similar, but it's still quite good. You look more energetic than your brother."

"I'm five years younger than him, so I can't show that much when I'm old." Tao Lingying.

"That's not what you mean, your brother is not old." Xia Chaoyang was a little helpless, but obviously it wasn't because he cared about the joke.

Kou Huai said with a smile: "I always said that Tao Ling has a lot of energy in him. Not only is he young, but other aspects are different from those of us who are approaching middle age."

Tao Ling smiled: "Senior brother is saying that I'm immature, or that I'm stupid to study behind closed doors?

Kou Huai shook his head: "You mouth."

"Immature or immature is better." Xia Chaoyang answered warmly.

Kou Huai suddenly remembered something, called the waiter, and said, "I forgot to order the most important thing. It's a rare occasion, the three of us have two drinks? Both of you can drink and don't drive, so don't look for it for me. Excuse."

Xia Chaoyang smiled and asked, "Can Junior Brother Tao drink it?"

Tao Ling pushed his glasses: "Yes."

The three of them toasted each other and swallowed some of the hospitality that couldn't be melted away by the heat, leaving a little bit of inherent alienation that could not be easily felt.

Kou Huai asked Xia Chaoyang: "Chaoyang, how do you know Tao Ling's brother?"

"We are college classmates." Xia Chaoyang held the cup and turned it gently by the table, with a simple ring on the ring finger of his left hand.

Tao Ling thought for a while: "My brother's undergraduate graduation photo is here, and I don't see Teacher Xia on it."

Xia Chaoyang smiled: "I had something to do on the day I took the graduation photo, and I was not able to do it. I have always regretted it."

Halfway through the hot pot, Xia Chaoyang asked casually, "Brother Tao, where does your brother work now? Is he still in the same company?"

Kou Huai was a little surprised, glanced at Tao Ling quickly, and was about to speak, but Tao Ling smiled indifferently, and answered naturally: "My brother died long ago, this season three years ago."

With a thud, the wine glass in Xia Chaoyang's hand suddenly fell, the bottom of the glass fell to the edge of the table, the glass overturned, and then rolled twice. The wine spilled out on the table, flowing to the side of the iron stove mixed with water under the hot pot.

sizzling sound. The wine is open.

"Hey! Are you wet?" Kou Huai took out the last few sheets of paper.

Xia Chaoyang stroked his body lightly: "It's alright, nothing on me."

Tao Ling rushed over to the waiter and said, "Sister, help me with the wrapping paper."

After scribbling the table, Xia Chaoyang smiled hastily, his face looking pale. He whispered towards Tao Ling: "I'm sorry, I didn't hold it steady."

"It doesn't matter." Tao Ling replied calmly, "The funeral was not held, my brother said no, so people who are not in touch with this matter should not know."

The atmosphere was cold for two minutes, and Kou Huai filled Xia Chaoyang with wine again and asked, "How is the progress of your project application? I don't know what the social science fund will be next year."

Xia Chaoyang agreed, and the two discussed the issue of project approval for a while, as if the accident just now did not exist.

Kou Huai asked Tao Ling's research progress during this period of time, and finally told him: "Although I am temporarily in the administrative post, I still have to keep reading and writing papers. It is always right to read and write more. Academic conferences are also required. Actively submit manuscripts to participate, don’t think that this is a platform to draw circles is meaningless, I know you don’t like grouping, but there are still many good opportunities, and you can also expand your academic horizons. Now it’s the same in all fields, and it’s too important to have innovative ideas Now, you can't just sit on the bench and work behind closed doors."
