Why is the Bright Moon Shining?

Xu Can looked at her and asked softly, "How long will you work at Oxford?"

"Tentatively set for two years." Tong Mingyue didn't ask where she got it. Just answer honestly and gently.

Xu Can paused, was silent for a few seconds, then showed a very shallow smile and said, "Congratulations."

Tong Mingyue did not speak.

Xu Can: "Then you... are you free tomorrow?"

—

the next day.

Xu Can took the ingredients for a long time and came to make lunch for Tong Mingyue.

She was not allowed to do anything, but it was stipulated that she must watch carefully from the side this time.

"You don't have to cut the tomatoes to look good. Just cut them twice, separate them, and use a shovel to grind them when they are soft in the pot. It's very convenient and delicious."

"It's best to get a few drops of rice wine to get rid of the fishy egg liquid, but it doesn't matter if you don't."

"…"

Tong Mingyue stood obediently like a primary school student, watching Xu Can cook.

The light shining in from outside made her eyes very bright, so bright, like beautiful glass beads.

The corners of her lips lifted slightly.

From time to time, "um" will be heard, indicating that he is listening.

But her eyes wandered, falling to the side of her face, and there was a hidden tenderness in her eyes. For a moment, she gently closed her eyelashes.

Only ten minutes later, two vegetables and one meat, plus the most time-consuming egg fried rice is ready.

Serve the table.

Xu Can only cooked a few of the most homely dishes this time, and even his level was not as good as usual.

Because she deliberately skipped all the troublesome steps. Simplify and simplify again, a few dishes are only a little more difficult than cooking instant noodles.

"Have you learned?"

Xu Can asked seriously.

Tong Mingyue nodded and said softly, "Well, I remember."

Xu Can pursed his lips, with a clear smile in his eyes, looked at her and smiled quietly, nodded: "That's great."

"If you're tired of canteens and restaurants, let's cook occasionally..."

Xu Can raised his eyes to look at her, and whispered: "Please, take care of yourself."

Tong Mingyue pursed her lips and didn't answer for a while.

"…"

—

The light shines through, and the bright floor-to-ceiling windows can clearly see the students passing by in twos and threes under the office building.

A few camphor trees were brightly lit, and scattered light spots were thrown on the ground between the treetops.

"Professor Tong, are you really not going with one or two graduate students?"

Secretary Hou blew the tea leaves in the teacup, a little strange, "Is there no good seedlings this year?"

Tong Mingyue lowered her eyes, holding the newly printed document in her hand.

A little absent-mindedly, he said, "The students I want to take with me are not willing to follow me."

"And what about this kind of student?"

Secretary Hou took a sip of tea, gently shoved the tea back into the teacup, and said with a sigh, "It's all worrying, I will release the research list here immediately. go abroad."

Tong Mingyue stood up, was about to leave first, and asked casually, "Which student doesn't want to be a graduate student?"

"Xu Can," the secretary said leisurely with nothing to do today, shaking the newspaper, "I'm still waiting for her to come over and give me the letter of commitment."

Tong Mingyue: "…"

She heard the words and sat back again.

As if not in a hurry to go for a while, pulling some of the missing. Secretary Hou chatted and felt strange, and asked her implicitly if she had nothing else to do? Tong Mingyue smiled, "Nothing else today."

Less than half an hour passed.

The open office door was politely knocked three times.

Secretary: "Please come in—"

Xu Can held a list of promises to voluntarily give up his research qualifications. As soon as he stepped in, before his eyes were focused, he first turned to Tong Mingyue, who was sitting at the top.

Look up.

She looked straight at her, as if she had waited for a long time, and as if it was just a coincidence.

"…"

The relaxed smile on Xu Can's lips froze, "I'm sorry, I went wrong."

Retreat like a conditioned reflex.

"…"

Xu Can confirmed that the office did not come to the wrong place.

She stood outside the door and opened her mouth, dumbfounded, wondering why she bumped into it so coincidentally.

Tangled, to wait outside for her to leave.

Or go in and pay later?

"Didn't you come to hand in the letter of commitment," Director Hou roared, "What went wrong, you just came to get it for me, Xu Can! Has anyone gone?"

Xu Can: "…"

She took a deep breath and walked in slowly without looking sideways.

He pursed his lips, didn't even look at Tong Mingyue from the corner of his eye, and handed the letter of commitment to Director Hou with both hands: "It's all filled out."

"Hey, don't rush to leave," Director Hou stopped her, confirmed the contents of the order with his eyes, and said, "Have you figured it out? Finally, I will give you a chance to regret it."

Xu Can said briskly, "I figured it out."

"You're commendable for not taking the guaranteed postgraduate quota. Well, are you planning to go to the United States? Which schools do you want to go to?"

Xu Can, who was not familiar with him, smiled awkwardly.

Out of the corner of his face, he noticed that Tong Mingyue was looking at her, and said vaguely: "... Anyway, there are only those few."

Secretary Hou was still not satisfied.

After chatting with her for a long time, she finally changed the topic and mentioned the scientific research project she participated in in her sophomore year. The bonus points are only recorded for one work, but they can be accumulated. Xu Can could have added five points.

"Leave your work to your classmates. Gu Yi can use it."

Xu Can was stunned.

Thinking of the first year in the same dormitory, Gu Yi subtly showed off that her father had eaten with the secretary.

Unexpectedly, her father was still eating with the secretary after graduation.

"…"

Tong Mingyue didn't speak when she came in, and sat quietly in the corner facing the door.

Suddenly he said, "One work?"

Xu Can thought about it, Gu Yi seemed to be in the research group project he entered at that time. But everyone goes their own way.

She hasn't had time to speak yet.

Tong Mingyue asked again, "Want to take her first work?"

She turned her gaze to the side, towards Director Hou, who put down the newspaper and held up a teacup and was about to drink water.

"Hey," Director Hou said lightly in a very natural tone, "then she won't guarantee the research, and the extra points will not be used."

"It's a waste if you can't use it."

He didn't expect Tong Mingyue to intervene in this matter, so he thought about it and said, "Well, then I will ask some old professors to write her two recommendation letters, which will also be very beneficial for her to go abroad. Yes. Both students are fine."

"Recommendation letter?"

Tong Mingyue raised her eyebrows and chuckled: "Don't bother, Xu Can has no shortage of recommendation letters."

Xu Can sipped into a smile, his eyes curved.

She tried her best to keep a well-behaved silence, unable to laugh. How... how is she...

"…"

The brief dialogue was blank, and the air was silent for a few seconds.

"Then she really can't use her extra points. Why, rather than wasting it, it's better to let it go. It can be regarded as a kind of helpful spirit for classmates." His tone was a little anxious.

He put aside Tong Mingyue and wanted to start directly with Xu Can, who was silent: "You are also willing to help your classmates? Are you?"

Xu Can was stunned.

I'm wondering if I should answer "I don't want to" or "I don't want to".

"…"

Tong Mingyue didn't bother to tell him whether these contents were useful or not in the materials.

Tong Mingyue moved her eyes and said slowly: "Stealing other people's achievements and not giving others enough explanations is the worst."

"Secretary Hou, you are doing scientific research."

The tone was a cold warning that Xu Can had never heard from her.
