Picking the stars

Song Wei was brushing her teeth. She was so sleepy that she was about to lie down and fell asleep, but she couldn't. She wanted Pei Ji to look at her with admiration.

Last night, Pei Ji said, "You noisy me, you don't hate it."

At that moment, Song Wei was particularly moved. She felt that Pei Ji was not so far away, and they might not be people from two worlds.

So she lost her mind for a while and asked in an inch, "Doesn't I hate what I do?"

Pei Ji was silent for a while before answering: "No, it's still annoying to stay in bed."

At 6:50, the door was knocked on time.

Pei Ji knocked on the door in a regular manner. Every three knocks, he called to get up as a group, and rested for half a minute in every five groups, and so on.

In the past, she had to call outside the door for thirty minutes before Song Wei came out slowly, with a languid spirit and a sleepy face. But today, she only cycled through two groups and the door opened.

Pei Ji's hand still kept the posture of knocking the door, his expression was a bit surprised. She glanced at her watch involuntarily, 6:50, 47 seconds.

Song Er stood behind the door, his hair was still wet with some drops of water, his breath was refreshing, the corners of his lips were slightly tilted, and Pei Ji said good morning: "Good morning Professor."

Looks sober.

Pei Ji retracted his hand: "Morning, eat."

Breakfast is bought at a breakfast shop in the community. That breakfast shop has been open for many years. It has a complete range and good taste. It is very popular with residents in the community.

Song Er sat at the table, she couldn't see and knew what breakfast was today.

Pei Ji is very regular, except for the first three days he bought many types of breakfast for Song Er to choose. After finding out her taste, the breakfast afterwards was regular.

According to a three-day cycle, the sequence is fixed.

Today is the second day of three days. Breakfast is tofu brain and crab yellow soup.

Song Wei sat and ate, Pei Ji sat opposite her.

The tofu nao is salty, there is no green onion, the sesame oil is a little bit more, and half a spoon of vinegar is added.

The crab bun is still hot, the skin is thin and tough, and after a bite, the juice overflows and the aroma floats out.

It is a very happy thing to have such a warm breakfast every day.

It's just that getting up early is too difficult for Song Er.

She knew she should get up early. Get up early, let the professor go out on time, and don't bother her. But the bed seemed to love her very much, holding her firmly, his eyelids also had their own thoughts, and they couldn't open them if they couldn't open them.

Being able to get up early today is entirely because of the competitive spirit that Pei Ji stimulated last night.

She must ask the professor to take a look at it with admiration.

But Professor Pei seemed indifferent, finished the breakfast calmly, put down the spoon, wiped the corners of his mouth, packed the lunch boxes as usual, and said to Song Wei: "I'm going to work."

She didn't mention anything about her consciously getting up early today, let alone praise her.

Song Er suddenly felt that the significance of getting up early was greatly reduced, and she was particularly unhappy to send Pei Ji to the door.

The door was opened and Pei Ji went out. Song Wei couldn't help but called her: "Professor."

Pei Ji stopped and looked at her.

Song Er seemed to be very entangled. She wanted to say something, but she seemed to have some concerns restricting her. After several entanglements, Song Er seemed to reluctantly give up something, with a heavy expression: "Goodbye Professor."

Pei Ji left.

Song Er listened to the door closing in front of her, very disappointed. She woke up so early today, but the professor did not praise her. She stopped her just now, actually trying to hint, but her strong self-esteem limited her.

It must not be so shameless.

The typhoon passed through the border overnight, and the streets outside were covered in branches and leaves, and it was messy.

The rain has stopped and the wind is still spinning, but it is not as violent as it was last night.

Pei Ji arrived at the research institute at half past seven, walked into the office, opened the calendar and looked at it, then turned on the computer, and downloaded the student's paper from the mailbox to read it.

At the end of the due date, the students are all handing in their final homework.

The course Pei Ji set up had no final exams, only essays. The topic of the essay was assigned at the beginning of the semester, which means that students have one semester to complete the thesis.

But Pei Ji also knows that even though it was arranged at the beginning of the semester, the students who can spend a month to write are commendable. Most of the students only took one week to write this thesis.

It can be seen from the finished product how much time and effort it took. Pei Ji is strict, but he will not be embarrassed intentionally. As long as he meets the standard, he will pass it.

But for those very beautifully written articles, Pei Ji will pay special attention to the author's name.

Scientific research requires fresh blood, and hardworking and talented students are rare.

At half past eight, she changed her lab coat and walked into the laboratory.

It started very smoothly today. She returned to her original timetable for the first time in more than a week. And although it was raining yesterday, it did not cause any discomfort.

Pei Ji was very happy. When she was happy to have a break, she heard a few graduate students chat together, and she rarely listened with interest.

Pei Ji handles many research projects at the same time, and there are also multiple laboratories in the research institute that she is following at the same time. But most of them only play a guiding role in the name of a mentor and will not intervene in specific research directions.

Today’s project is of this type. The members of the research group are relatively young, and the topics they talk about are very lively and jumping.

From which professor’s hairline is getting higher and higher, the experiment progressed very slowly to the group next door, because their group leader’s paper had a problem, and he was scolded by his supervisor for three days, and his mentality collapsed. The spare ribs are getting less and less, which chills the heart of Guangda University, and chats with gusto.

Suddenly a graduate student took out his mobile phone enthusiastically and showed it to everyone like a treasure, then exclaimed.

"so cute."

"Too cute, is that the one I picked up last time?"

"It seems to have found the lens, it's coming over!"

Pei Ji glanced at the girl with the mobile phone and recognized that this was the student who had picked up the milk cat and went home. So she judged that there should be a kitten video on the phone screen.

Thinking of Song Er at home, Pei Ji felt that he could learn from experienced students, so he walked over.

The exclamation came to an abrupt end. The girl with the mobile phone shook her hand and yelled, "Professor Pei." She hurriedly tried to put her mobile phone away.

Pei Ji said: "No hurry." She also glanced at the screen.

As soon as she saw it, she was stunned. What is displayed on the screen is not video, but a certain monitoring software. Under the surveillance of the camera, the kitten is jumping up and down in the room, doing parkour.

Pei Ji was a little surprised.

The girl thought that the professor also liked cats, so she was a little relieved, and explained to her: "This is my new camera. I am worried about what happens to the cat when I am not at home. If there is a camera, I can always pay attention to its situation. ."

Pei Ji nodded, but after weighing it in his heart, he felt that this suggestion was not feasible.

She was also worried that Song Wei would hold a broken cup at home, or where she would knock it, or if there is something she needs to help, but the camera is definitely not desirable, because people need privacy.

Sure enough, taking care of Song Er is much more complicated than raising a cat.

"In addition to installing a camera, what else can you do?" Pei Ji asked directly.

When she asked, the girl understood that the professor was really interested in cats. Her mind turned quickly, and soon there was a guess: "Has the professor also raised a cat?"

"It's not a cat." Pei Ji vaguely defined Song Er's species: "It's a creature similar to a cat."

The girl didn't know what creatures similar to cats were. She carefully explained all the precautions for raising cats. Pei Ji was listening carefully, and carefully selected in his brain which one was available and which one was unreasonable.

"By the way, there is also a very important, but often overlooked one. It is necessary to be patient and gentle to praise." The girl said with certainty, "The kitten needs to be praised, and positive motivation can make it happy. , It can also make its personality grow more gentle."

Pei Ji is skeptical about this, because animals cannot understand human language. Seeing that this graduate student had no other experience to share with her, Pei Ji nodded, motioned to them to look at the cat again, and walked away by himself.

She went outside, trying to drink a glass of water, and the phone vibrated.

Pei Ji took a look and found that it was a WeChat. When the lock screen was turned on, two more came in.

All come from Song Er.

Song Er's head is an angry kitten. The cat has a round face and very big eyes, lying on his white and fleshy paws, as if he is autistic, dazed and arrogant.

Pei Ji's attention stayed on the portrait for a while before he clicked on Song Er's dialogue bar.

A total of three voices, each two seconds. Pei Ji clicked on the first one, with a calm voice: "Professor."

The second voice gradually became unstable: "Professor."

The third voice was very low: "Professor."

Pei Ji: "?"

The fourth voice came immediately, and Song Er grieved and said: "Is it really not to praise me?"

Song Er’s voice is very special. Pei Ji has heard her talking on the phone with others. When talking to others, her voice is always a little cold and has a sense of distance. But every time she talks to her, Song Ye’s voice will Lower, soft, always reminds Pei Ji of the squeamish kitten.

In this voice, Song Er's voice is very soft.

Pei Ji actually knew that Song Nei wanted her to get up early to praise her, but Pei Ji believes that Song Nei's early rise was only correcting the mistakes of lying in bed in the past, and there is nothing worthy of praise.

But Song Wei solemnly raised it, and Pei Ji believed that she should be satisfied, so she typed in two words: "Awesome."

When I wanted to send it, I saw Song Er's profile picture and thought of what the girl said just now. It is necessary to be patient and gentle to praise.

Pei Ji felt that this suggestion was unreasonable, but he still used it involuntarily in his behavior.

I am afraid that the two words are not patient enough or gentle enough.

She thought about it for a while, deleted Awesome, and re-entered: "Wake up very early in the morning, it surprised me, awesome!" She chose the one with the thumbs up from the emoji that came with it and sent them together.

Song Er's mobile phone has a screen reading function, and the intelligent voice assistant will read out the content on the screen, including the thumb.

After Pei Ji sent the message and was about to put the phone away, Song Wei quickly replied.

"I will keep it!" The voice was full of joy.

Pei Ji didn't even notice it, her eyes were filled with a faint smile, and her expression became much softer. She re-evaluated the suggestion and classified it from the unreasonable category to the effective suggestion.

At least Song Er really needs her patience and gentle praise.

She remembered one thing and told Song Er together by the way: "Friday night, we will go to Teacher Sun's house for dinner."

Song Er responded quickly every time, almost within seconds. So Pei Ji waited for a while, but this time, Song Wei was silent. Pei Ji stopped waiting.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that Song Er replied, "I'm a little nervous."

I was so nervous that my voice trembled.
