Picking the stars

The sun is violent at noon in summer, so there is a kind of scorching heat after being exposed to the sun.

The curled up green leaves are hot, the pedestrians coming and going are hot, the passing wind is hot, the cicadas are hot, nestling in an air-conditioned home, the sunlight reflected on the glass is hot.

Pei Ji walked out of the house and got into the car. The car was also hot and annoying.

She still held the stack of brochures in her hand and placed it on the passenger seat.

The car drove out. Pei Ji was holding the steering wheel. She should have been focusing on driving, but Song Yi had a reluctant posture that occupied her mind.

The expectation on Song Er's face gradually dimmed, and the hand holding the corner of her clothes also let go.

"Okay." Her voice could be heard low, as if she wanted to save some face, she smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry to be friends with you, I just made an appointment with you first. Let you be mentally prepared."

She took this over by herself.

Pei Ji should have felt relaxed, because Song Wei was so well-measured, and found that he could not get the answer he wanted, so he retreated by himself, without forcing her, nor embarrassing her.

But Pei Ji still felt a little annoying.

She knew that this was because Song Er had an effect on her mood. This was not a good phenomenon, and Pei Ji's mood should not be interfered with by anyone.

But she couldn't help it.

This annoyance continued until she parked the car on the parking lot in front of the L-Large teaching building.

L is far from Pei Ji’s home much closer than the research institute, and it only takes ten minutes to drive. Pei Ji comes here once a week to teach professional courses to the graduate students.

The afternoon class starts at 1:30, and there are still thirty minutes left. The school has prepared a special office for Pei Ji, but the office is too far away from the teaching building. In the past, he had to come back after sitting for two minutes.

Pei Ji simply sat in the car and flipped through the home brochures, picked out a few sets that met the requirements, wrote down the home brand and address, and was ready to go and read it after class.

When there were ten minutes before class, Pei Ji walked into the classroom.

The students have arrived in the classroom.

L Da Neng hired Pei Ji to teach. On the one hand, Pei Ji was the undergraduate of L Da. The current principal, Professor Sun Peiye, was her mentor at the time and the interviewer who recruited her to the L University.

On the other hand, the immunology major of L University is among the best.

Every time Pei Ji stood on the podium, she was in a good mood, because the students here were smart and hardworking, which made her feel alive and hopeful.

It’s a pity that the students didn’t realize it. They just felt that Professor Pei was very cold every day and didn’t know how to laugh. He was very demanding and the assignments were difficult to do. The only good thing was that she never got angry, but it could also be because she got angry. The students who made mistakes have already been frozen to death.

Today, Pei Ji also lectures as usual. Her teaching time is two hours, and there is no time for get out of class to end, which is a test of the students' endurance and bladder. Her lectures are pure lectures, with theories first, followed by cases. The knowledge density is extremely high. If you walk for a while, you may miss a big point of knowledge.

Therefore, the students listened attentively, unless Professor Pei asked to answer questions by name, otherwise the entire classroom would only be the voice of Pei Ji's lecture.

At 15:30, the get out of class bell rang on time. Pei Ji never delayed the class. As soon as the bell rang, she just finished talking about today's content and said get out of class is dismissed.

There was a moment of dead silence in the classroom. It seemed that the students in the classroom had not recovered. After three seconds, which male classmate first let out a long exaggerated sigh, as if he took a breath, and continued. Life.

Then the classroom gradually came alive, those who packed things, those who whispered, those who walked around, and those who risked frostbite and said goodbye to Pei Ji when they left the classroom.

Pei Ji has long been accustomed to it. After two hours of lectures, her throat was a bit dry, she drank saliva, and then calmly packed her notebooks and handouts.

"This still is too amazing!" A girl in the first row exclaimed.

Her voice was a little loud, and she immediately attracted several students around her, who said "what, what" and "show me" while surrounding her.

"Wow, that's so amazing!"

"What kind of fairy looks is this!"

"I am my sister's face fan since today!"

The exclamation over there came after another, saying things that Pei Ji couldn't understand.

The girl at the beginning was a little embarrassed when she found that the professor was still there. She stuck her tongue out, put her hands together, and said to Pei Ji: "Professor, do you want to see it? My favorite singer made a movie, and the stills are immortal. Desire again!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a girl next to her gave her a grin. The girl blushed, but she still looked at Pei Ji expectantly.

Pei Ji wasn't interested, she shook her head, pretending to be perfunctory to them, and then left with her bag.

If she took a look in the past, she would find a completely different Song Er, and she would know that Song Er was not the little musician she had thought of and would worry about not selling the song. She is a red-hot star, her songs are priceless, and her pay for a play can make ordinary people have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime. She has many fans, she is brilliant, and she has a brilliant star. .

She couldn't be taken care of because of Pei Yi's death.

But Pei Ji didn't look at it, so Song Wei was still the soft girl she thought. She was a little chatty, but knew that she would be in a daze in a strange environment, and would want to say goodnight to her before going to bed.

She is blind, invisible, a little timid, and has nowhere to go.

She really needs Pei Ji's care.

Pei Ji left the classroom and went directly to the home square.

When he arrived at the home square, Pei Ji discovered that there are already some brands that have made series of furniture specifically for the blind. These furnitures are similar to ordinary ones and come in various styles, but the material is soft, without edges and corners, and the details are very friendly to the blind.

Pei Ji had a good vision and didn't care about the money. He only ran two places and ordered a set, agreed to deliver it on the weekend, and changed all the furniture in the whole home except her bedroom.

After finishing this matter, just after five o'clock, Pei Ji is considering today's dinner. She usually settles dinner in the cafeteria or in a small restaurant near her home, but now it's different. Now there is Song Er, so she can't be so casual.

Pei Ji thought about going, and finally went to a Hangzhou restaurant to pack a few dishes.

Coming out of the restaurant, Pei Ji saw the pharmacy next door. She stopped, hesitated for a moment, and walked in.

When she came out again, she held a bag of medicine in her hand, which relieved nervous tension and helped sleep. This medicine is very mild and has no side effects, but it has a better relieving effect on symptoms such as nervous tension, insomnia and hyperactivity caused by emotion.

Pei Ji took the medicine and returned to the car.

Her car was parked on the side of the road, and pedestrians passing by her car window from time to time.

This world is noisy and busy, which often makes Pei Ji feel out of place.

She sat in the driver's seat and took out her mobile phone after watching the pedestrians passing by for a while. She didn't look through the address book, but directly entered a number with the dial keypad. After the entry, Pei Ji hesitated very much. After a long time, the phone screen dimmed. Pei Ji clicked hurriedly, and the screen came back on.

She breathed lightly and pressed the dial button.

It took a long time to pick it up over there.

After picking up, he didn't speak.

Pei Ji squeezed the medicine in his hand and called out, "Dad."

Pei Yuan responded, his voice sounded tired, and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Pei Ji's throat moved, and she looked down at the medicine in her hand: "Have you and your mom slept well these past few days?"

Of course he didn't sleep well. It didn't take long for Pei Yi to leave. Zhao Yu cried every day and couldn't get out. Pei Ji regretted the question after asking. It was obviously inappropriate for her to ask, but she had too little time with her parents, and she was a little at a loss at this time. The books on social psychology she had read were not helpful at all.

Pei Yuan also silenced her question, but he quickly said, "It's okay."

Pei Ji's heart tightened, she tried to figure out the words, and said: "I bought medicine to help sleep. I will send it to you at night."

Pei Yuan answered quickly this time: "No, your mother and I bought medicine. You are busy with you, don't worry about us."

Pei Ji couldn't find words to respond for a while.

Pei Yuan didn't wait for her to find it either, and after a symbolic pause, he said, "I'll hang up if it's okay."

Then, it really hung up.

The pedestrians coming and going outside are still in a hurry. At this point, they are all anxious to go home and have dinner with their families.

But when Pei Ji was very young, it was like no home.

Putting down the phone, she sighed lightly, and then stuffed the medicine into the storage box. The box closed with a soft snap. She felt sad, but she seemed to be used to it again, so she started the car very calmly and plunged it into the busy traffic.

At dinner in the evening, Song Er only took a bite and complained that today's dinner was not as delicious as yesterday's.

Pei Ji glanced at her with a look of "don't make trouble unreasonably" and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Yesterday’s meal was ordered at a small restaurant nearby. It has no other advantages except proximity, fastness and cleanliness. Today’s Hangbang cuisine is the favorite of the professors in the research institute because it tastes very good and the business is very hot. Pei Ji waited a long time for the meal.

No matter how bad the taste is, no one thinks that yesterday's restaurant will be better than today's.

Song Er didn't get approval and was very unhappy. She seemed to sincerely believed that yesterday's food was more delicious, and today's food was very unappetizing. She didn't eat a few bites. When she left the table, there was half a bowl of rice left.

Pei Ji didn't expect that she was still picky, and the taste was so unfavorable. Seeing that half of the bowl of rice was left, she had nothing to do with Song Wei, so she could only secretly blacklist this restaurant today, and she would not go anymore. .

After dinner, Pei Ji cleaned up the dishes, and Song Er and Song Wei took up one end of the sofa in peace. Song Er was wearing headphones and didn't know what he was listening to. Pei Ji catches up with the rest of the day.

Song Wei was very quiet, as if it didn't exist, and so was Pei Ji. She didn't speak much at first, and today was even more silent. She didn't say a word all night, only making the sound of typing on the keyboard.

When it was ten o'clock, Song Wei stood up and Pei Ji raised his head and glanced at her. Song Er touched the ground with a guide stick and walked to the drinking fountain to pour water. Pei Ji looked at her in fright, lest she hit her or be scalded by water.

Fortunately, Song Er's movements were slow, but very calm. She took a glass of water and walked back slowly.

When Pei Ji watched her approaching and thought she would sit back where she was, Song Wei approached her, carefully touched the position of the sofa, and sat down next to her.

She suddenly approached, and Pei Ji suddenly became uncomfortable.

Song Er didn't know, she sat down and let out a sigh of relief slowly, as if she had gone through a difficult long journey.

The sound of typing on the keyboard also stopped. Pei Ji only looked at her, wondering if she was going to do what she was going to do, or if she simply went to the wrong place.

Song Wei didn't speak for a long time. She sat upright, her lips pressed a little, and her hands rested on her legs. It may be because there is no light in her eyes. When she is still, she is always a little soft.

Pei Ji's gaze flicked over the white wireless headset on her ears, thinking that maybe she was really in the wrong position, so he lowered his head and continued to type on the keyboard. After a few lines, Song Er spoke.

"Pei Ji, are you unhappy today?"

Question: Why does Song Er think that yesterday's dinner was more delicious?
