The Passion of an Academic Rising Star

Chapter 38 Waiting

Han Shixiu wiped it with his hand, tears were all over his face.

He put the letter carefully, knowing in his heart that before Zhou Moqun's treatment was over, it was impossible for him to contact Zhou Moqun again.

But he will wait for Zhou Moqun to come back.

As Zhou Moqun's best partner and friend, Han Shixiu firmly believes that Zhou Moqun will appear in front of him again.

There is absolutely no doubt about this.Han Shixiu was even ashamed of yesterday's uneasiness and fear.

He pushed open the door of the dormitory building, and the sun just rose, and the light was extraordinarily bright.The golden light seems to be always in front of it, which makes people want to keep chasing it.

—— After eating eight buns in the cafeteria, Han Shixiu went to the laboratory with the big bag on his back.

He kept writing the code as if he was working hard, typing with both hands, and the sound of the keyboard being pressed was very loud, which made everyone look at Han Shixiu differently.

You must work harder, Han Shixiu thought, you must work harder.

The research conducted with Zhou Moqun must not be put on hold.The current self is far from reaching the level that the paper needs to hope for.Zhou Moqun found him at the time because he believed in him, but now that he thinks about it, he may have failed his trust.After such a long time, there is no discussion about why.If Zhou Moqun had invited others to be his partner at that time, he might have made good progress now.

No, no.Han Shixiu quickly shook his head again.

If you doubt even this, how can you be the co-author of Zhou Moqun.

What I should do now is to believe in Zhou Moqun and myself, and work harder to read and study to the point where I can see the fog clearly.

It was Zhou Moqun's hope to finish that thesis, and it was also the only Zhou Moqun's hope Han Shixiu knew.

He must not waste Zhou Moqun's previous energy, he must let this paper be published.

……

——In his spare time at noon, Han Shixiu looked at his Weibo again, and posted his own comments on several IT industry news.

At the end of the comment, Han Shixiu hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and posted @周莫园.

...as usual.

For a long time in the past, every time Han Shixiu posted a Weibo, he had to @周Moqun.

Of course, Zhou Moqun was not among the people who were @ at the beginning.At that time, in order to increase the amount of forwarding and comments, and let more people see and understand his point of view, Han Shixiu had to @ a few people who Han Shixiu thought were very consistent or relatively consistent with his point of view every time, hoping that they would notice These microblogs expressed their approval, recognition, forwarding and commenting a lot.Most of these people are teachers, and there are also a few domestic or foreign doctoral students recognized by Han Shixiu.But what disappointed Han Shixiu was that even though these people were brought along, these people pretended not to see them, and never responded with a single word, let alone agreed and approved to the point of reposting.

After a long time, Han Shixiu was extremely disappointed with these people.

Later, one time, I don’t remember why, when Han Shixiu posted those meager posts, Zhou Moqun was also @in it.

Then, Han Shixiu discovered that Zhou Moqun forwarded and commented on all the content.

Although, even if he didn't do this, Zhou Moqun would still respond to all of Han Shixiu's Weibo, but those responses were basically concentrated in the evening, and he couldn't see the other party's dynamics at any time like this time.

Han Shixiu tasted the sweetness, and from that day on, he had to bring Zhou Moqun with him every time.

Later, some gossip spread to Han Shixiu's ears, saying that Han Shixiu was seriously ill, he was self-indulgent, and always liked @别人 when posting on Weibo. guy.

At that time, Han Shixiu was very sad.

He thought that those mentioned by him were all people who resonated with him.

At that time, he asked Zhou Moqun, did it bother you that I took you by the side when I was posting Weibo?At that time, Zhou Moqun smiled softly, and said, "Why, I really hope you can list me after your name."

So from that day on, when Han Shixiu posted on Weibo, it only had Zhou Moqun's name on it.

Until today.

This is still the case today, Han Shixiu thought, even though he knew that Zhou Moqun would not respond anymore, he would still do as usual.

And, in the days to come, this habit will not be changed.

……

After dinner, Master Han's main task was to come up with exam questions.

He is a teaching assistant, and it is a very common task to help the professor with exam questions.

In the past, Master Han always liked to test some of the content of his thesis.

Of course, it must be related to the course.Well, both about the course and about myself.

This time, Han Shixiu faced the computer, and for some reason, wrote down a question. This part of the knowledge... had appeared in Zhou Moqun's research before.

At that time, when reading the research paper, Han Shixiu felt a little confused, and he didn't quite understand the passage written by Zhou Moqun, so he asked Zhou Moqun to meet at T University at noon.

I was in a bad mood that day.

Master Han woke up early to substitute for the class, but he didn't visit many students at all.

It is said to be a substitute class, but in fact, there is no need to talk about it. In that class, a few students who got excellent papers gave reports. Teacher Han gave some comments, and other people just listened.

Looking at the few people, Han Shixiu took the roll call and said stubbornly: "How can I roll... I can't roll... Only teachers who are not qualified will roll, and teachers who are confident in themselves will never do it." Will force others to teach, they only tell students who can really understand themselves..."

Then, after the first class, the number of people was reduced by half again.

It seems...these people are representatives sent by the dormitory, and they came here because they thought that Teacher Han, the substitute teaching assistant, came here by name. After all, Teacher Han is well-known in the computer school for his strictness.

At the end of the substitute class, Teacher Han was in a bad mood when he came out, and he couldn't be happy when he saw Zhou Moqun.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Moqun asked Han Shixiu at that time.

"No..." Han Shixiu said, "There is a paragraph in your thesis that I don't quite understand..."

"Oh?" Zhou Moqun asked, "Where?"

Han Shixiu took out the printed manuscript: "This is this paragraph..."

"It turned out to be this..."

After listening to Zhou Moqun's lecture, Han Shixiu still couldn't hold back, and asked: "Zhou Moqun... Many students who don't plan to take the academic path think that the knowledge learned in class is useless at all... Work needs to use it. The skills you get and the skills taught in school are two different things, it is better to study after you find a job and focus on learning. Regarding this matter, what do you think?"

"You don't need the knowledge you've learned..." Zhou Moqun smiled: "It's quite possible."

"what?"

"It's okay if I can't remember the content of my class." Zhou Moqun squeezed his paper with his slender fingers: "But... I hope I can convey my enthusiasm for this subject, and I hope my students can I really like my major, and I will always remember this liking today after graduation.”

Han Shixiu stared blankly at Zhou Moqun, feeling that Zhou Moqun had cleared up his doubts all along.

……

——Think back to reality.

Han Shixiu found that he had unknowingly published several articles related to the conclusion of Zhou Moqun's thesis.

As the weather was getting late, he sorted out all the information and documents, took a deep breath, said goodbye to Hong Li and other people who were still in the laboratory, and returned to the dormitory.

——Zou Sijiu came back quite early today.

"Did I disturb you when I came back last night?" Zou Sijiu asked.

"No...no..." Han Shixiu said, "I'm completely asleep."

Zou Sijiu nodded: "What happened yesterday? I came back a little late, and you have already fallen asleep. When I woke up this morning, I found that you had already left the house."

"It's okay." Han Shixiu shook his head: "I was too tired a few days ago, and I was sleepy very quickly last night. Because I went to bed early, I naturally woke up early today. You seem to be a little tired, so I didn't call you. Went to the cafeteria."

"...So." Zou Sijiu nodded.

Han Shixiu instinctively felt that Zou Sijiu didn't really believe it, but he didn't continue to ask.

It couldn't be better.

Han Shixiu didn't want to mention Zhou Moqun's matter to Zou Sijiu too much.

After all, the two only had one side.

——After reading for a while at night, Han Shixiu climbed into bed.

Just like the previous few days, the messy dreams never stopped.

It seemed as if people were coming and going all the time, only to leave one by one.Han Shixiu yelled not to leave, but those people didn't even look back.Han Shixiu chased after them one by one, but he couldn't catch up no matter what. The distance was getting farther and farther away. Han Shixiu could only be in a hurry, feeling very depressed and anxious.He also didn't know why he was always the slowest one in the dream, but it was obviously not like that in reality.

He vaguely felt some noise coming from the opposite bed, but Han Shixiu was still drifting in his dreams, and finally Zou Sijiu seemed to appear and was slowly leaving. Han Shixiu wanted to stop him, but no sound came out of his throat.He desperately wanted to say something, but the more anxious he was, the more painful he was, so he could only watch and yell in vain.

It wasn't until there was a "click" in the dormitory that Han Shixiu was finally freed from that depressive and restless dream.

There was a little light in the bedroom at night, the door was ajar, and Zou Sijiu was walking out with his clothes on.

"Zou Sijiu!"

"……Um?"

"You..." Han Shixiu didn't seem to be fully awake yet: "What are you doing?"

"..."

"What on earth are you going to do?"

"Toilet."

"Oh……"

Hearing what Zou Sijiu said, Han Shixiu felt relieved and pulled up the quilt a little.

The lights in the corridor were dim and dim, and the light came in from the outside, showing Zou Sijiu's silhouette.

Han Shixiu couldn't see Zou Sijiu's face clearly, he could only see the silhouette-like effect.The background is soft, and Zou Sijiu's hair seems to be shining.

Han Shixiu had a particularly unreal feeling for a moment.

"Zou Sijiu..." Han Shixiu said drowsily, "You promise me...promise me, no matter what happens in the future, you will never disappear silently."

"...Well." Zou Sijiu's voice was very soft, but with a reassuring tone: "I promise you."
