follow my heart

Chapter 79

After returning from traveling abroad, Meng Buqing was invited by Cui Youran to visit her new home.

On a cloudy day, the artificial lake is slowly wrinkled by the breeze, and the air is filled with the clear breath of flowers, plants and trees.

Originally Cui Youran was going to pick them up, but Meng Buqing refused, so she drew them a detailed route map from the entrance to her building.

Meng Buqing stared at the phone, frowned and looked at the crooked lines with distaste, trying to identify the way forward.

There is a lot of greenery in the community. After entering the gate, turn left and turn right, and you have to walk on the gravel road and cross the bridge.

"This map looks like it was drawn by her..." Meng Buqing lowered his head slightly, avoiding the branches hanging down the road, and said, "It feels like we are participating in the treasure hunting activity of elementary school students after school."

A square was drawn on the map, and the right side was marked as a "treasure area". After turning the corner, I saw two swings and a climbing frame, a standard children's entertainment area.

Meng Buqing sighed: "Cui Youran didn't paint us like this on purpose, how old is she?"

Ji Wan pursed her lips and smiled: "You can ask me in person later."

It had just rained and the ground was still wet.

Ji Wan caught a glimpse of the metal building number sign nailed to the side of the high wall, grabbed Meng Buqing's sleeve, and pulled her back a little: "Here we are."

Upstairs at the porch, Cui Youran looked forward to it for a long time, pinching the access control card several times and wanted to go down to find them.She lowered her hair for the message, and Meng Buqing replied to her several times: [I will be there soon. ]

Finally, the doorbell rang.

Cui Youran immediately opened the door.The two dozing puppies in the living room heard the movement, ran to her lap one after the other, and barked a few times to the two strangers at the door.

"Don't bark, don't bark." Cui Youran opened the shoe cabinet to get them the prepared slippers, then turned around and gestured to the dog, "Squat down, be good."

The voice did not fall.

Meng Buqing just squatted down.

This timing was a subtle coincidence, and Ji Wan burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Meng Buqing said helplessly, wearing a pair of high-top canvas shoes today and having to squat down to remove the laces, "Your smile is too low."

Cui Youran turned around, "What?"

"It's okay." Ji Wan quickly changed her shoes, took the canvas bag that Meng Buqing had carried all the way, and handed it to Cui Youran, "I'll see you off."

"Huh? You still have a gift, so why are you being so polite..."

Cui Youran took it with some doubts, opened it, and immediately the corners of her lips rose with joy.

Inside the heavy canvas bag are all plastic-packed new books by Qi Min.

A few days ago, Cui Youran reposted the publishing house's lottery Weibo, jokingly saying that she wanted to be blacked out.Today Ji Wan delivered her sample booklet to her door.

Cui Youran thought for a few seconds, and after realizing it, she smiled sinisterly: "Whose book is this?"

"..."

Ji Wan raised her hand and brushed her messy hair behind her ears, and smiled slightly: "My humble work, please read it."

Her long black and smooth hair fell on her shoulders, making her fair neck appear more slender.The light beige sweater and blue jeans look young and warm.

Cui Youran sighed in her heart.

I still remember the first time we met, this woman was full of aura of "unrecognizable relatives".As a result, I fell in love with a young reader, and my temperament softened.

Cui Youran held the book in his hand, lifted it up and hugged it in his arms, and said with a smile: "Show you my study." He led the two of them into the room.

The house has a layout of three bedrooms and two living rooms. Her study room is obviously converted from the master bedroom and has a large area.Pushing the door open, you can see the wide and translucent semi-floor windows, framing the blue sky and white clouds outside and the lake water with circles of broken light ripples below.

The custom-made solid wood bookcase on the wall is low-key and simple, and it naturally has a rich and quiet book atmosphere after being filled with books.The big desk was tidy, with only two books and a few sheets of manuscript paper.

Cui Youran quickly opened one of the cabinet doors, filled it with newly acquired books, looked at Meng Buqing, and asked triumphantly, "How about it, tell me, am I the number one fan of your family?"

From top to bottom, the entire row and column of this bookcase are filled with works by Qi Min, and there are at least [-] copies of the same version of the same work.

Every time Qi Min has a work to be published, not only will she buy enough of the book at her own expense, but she will also make full use of her status as the author of the same publishing house to act cute and coquettish with the editor to get all the proofs of each edition that come with the book.

"..."

Meng Buqing had nothing to say, but silently leaned against Ji Wan, hugging her arm.His chin rested on her shoulder, and he tilted his face.

The eyes should be as innocent as they are innocent.

As if to say: you continue.

Cui Youran: "..." I vaguely felt that I was being stupid.

Ji Wan pursed her lips and suppressed a smile.

The clear light of the afternoon came in from the big window, Cui Youran's face was backlit, and she looked at the two people who were half-closed in front of her.

There is an indescribable harmony in the picture facing the light.

Cui Youran's occupational disease came out, and she first felt that the height ratio of the two people was really good, and then couldn't help but think about how to describe the dreamlike sense of fit between the two people.

Words came to mind one after another, and they got off the horse one after another.She dismissed all these things and said seriously: "Yesterday, someone asked me when Teacher Qi Wen would start a new article."

Ji Wan lowered her eyes, and said slowly: "It's the first time you're here as a guest, please be more polite."

Meng Buqing: "..."

Cui Youran: "..."

Cui Youran closed her mouth, turned her eyes to Meng Buqing and asked silently: Don't you want to help me?

Meng Buqing stared, and couldn't help standing up straight, quietly raised his hand to the side of his neck, and made a small movement of wiping his neck.

Express meaning: Afraid of death, dare not!

Cui Youran turned her face away, laughed uncontrollably and let out a pig cry.

Meng Buqing also laughed, just as he put down his hands, he met Ji Wan's gaze abruptly.She raised her lips and smiled and asked, "What does your gesture mean?"

"Don't be afraid to wait for a good meal, we can't rush it," Seeing Meng Buqing's silence, Cui Youran saved the life in a timely manner, "What do you want to drink? Wine, tea, drinks and coffee are all available."

Before leaving the study.

Meng Buqing took a deep look at the low-key and solemn four rows of bookshelves on the wall, and then looked at the large window in front of the desk, and the beautiful scenery outside the window.This whole study has the demeanor of a great writer.

In comparison, my old house is simply dilapidated.

Can't help but ask Ji Wan in a low voice: "Is it because the current writing environment is so bad that you don't want to start writing?"

"Of course not." Ji Wan was stunned for a moment, and then she remained calm, "Half of my writing environment used to be in hotels, and the other half was on airplanes and high-speed trains."

Meng Buqing was still worried: "Your study is so small, won't it really affect your mood? Writing emotions must be a very important thing."

Cui Youran listened and smiled secretly.As the author, she is of course very clear that as long as it is not in an extreme environment where harsh noise affects life, writing is writing wherever it is.

But Meng Buqing was so guilty that he directly raised Ji Wan who simply wanted to be lazy and rest.

She secretly looked forward to what Ji Wan would do.

Meng Buqing tugged Ji Wan's sleeve lightly, discussed and asked: "How about we move? I also want to get you such a beautiful study."

Seeing the expression on her face, she looks like an old mother who owes her only daughter tuition.Ji Wan couldn't help but bent her lips, and said softly: "I have you in my study, it's pretty enough."

"..."

Ji Wan was serious: "She lives alone, so of course she needs to be more refined."

Meng Buqing's attention was diverted, she nodded and said earnestly: "Indeed, this house is perfect to live alone. She can live in a delicate and happy life by herself until she is 80 years old, meeting all her needs."

Cui Youran in front suddenly coughed hard, without turning her head, she said quietly, "I can hear you."

Quite a bit of gnashing of teeth.

A neat open bar with a wine cabinet behind.Cui Youran had worked part-time in bars and milk tea shops, and her movements were skillful and neat, and she quickly mixed the cocktails ordered by the two of them.

Meng Buqing took the extremely cute cup in front of her and looked at it carefully.

"Too much sugar," Ji Wan had already drank it, and offered her opinion without changing her expression, "The brand of osmanthus syrup you bought is relatively thick, next time you can change it to the one in the blue jar."

Cui Youran nodded: "How about adding some ice cubes to suppress the sweetness?"

"Add a bar."

"Oh, good idea."

Meng Buqing watched Cui Youran pour wine into the small measuring cup, took a sip of her own cup, the taste was the same as the one in the store, and couldn't help being surprised: "It's so delicious, can you give me your opinion?"

Ji Wan didn't say a word.

"Did she never tell you?" Cui Youran explained with a calm face, "She has a bartender certificate. She also taught me before, count me as half a master."

Meng Buqing: "..."

Meng Buqing looked at Ji Wan.

"It's not a guide." Ji Wan bit the straw expressionlessly, "I answered some of her strange questions. Later, I couldn't answer them, so I asked her to find a bar and work part-time for a few days to understand everything."

Cui Youran: "Then I obediently went to work part-time."

Holding his chin, Meng Buqing recalled the bartending-related content in the novel written by Cui Youran, and asked with interest: "Do you usually talk about the setting of novels?"

Ji Wan shook her head.

Cui Youran shook her head first, then smiled, and sat down and confided to Meng Buqing seriously: "I was fortunate enough to talk to Teacher Ji about the setting before. I seemed to ask her how about setting the same-sex marriage as a background. In the end, She told me a lot about the origin and significance of the marriage system. Why it is not legal now, and what will be legal in the future, what stage and what state it will be, etc. "

The conversation that day was like a small seminar for sociology majors.When Cui Youran heard the end, she was very worried that she would arrange for her to write a thesis at the end.

"After listening to it, I felt, wow... you are indeed Qi Min. A fool like me should only apply the real background directly."

Ji Wan avoided her exaggerated words, and said helplessly: "I remember that time, it was obviously you who were thinking about these issues, that's why I told you so much."

Chatted for a while and nothing.

Meng Buqing asked her some questions about baking.

Cui Youran replied, and the phone rang.

She clicked on it, and it was the editor who asked her to forward the pre-sale news of her new book.After reposting in twos and threes, he showed a lively smile while scrolling through the homepage, and asked, "Student Bubu, do you know that your wife is the dream wife of many people on Weibo?"

"I know." Meng Buqing had a natural expression on his face.

Cui Youran squinted her eyes, thinking it was interesting: "Aren't you jealous? Don't you need your wife to bring you Aite out to set the record straight?"

Meng Buqing thought for just half a second, then shook his head like a small rattle: "No, no, no."

"why."

Ji Wanyang asked with a smile on her lips, "You wrote a lot of words like a nymphomaniac, and you don't want too many people to see them?"

Meng Buqing, who had been guessed, didn't want to admit it, and said stiffly: "No, I just want to keep a low profile."

"Do you have to keep a low profile?" Ji Wan lowered her face slightly, her eyes were rather pitiful, she stared at her and said, "But I have kept a low profile for so many years, and I want to be high profile once, can't I?"

The dark brown pupils were dazzled by the light, and those peach blossom eyes, which were raised slightly, were watery.

This woman... can do everything, even pretend to be cute.

Meng Buqing took a deep breath, holding on for less than three seconds under her gaze, and immediately surrendered: "Ait is what you want, I think it's very good."

Ji Wan pursed her lips to show a satisfied smile, and turned on her phone.

She thought carefully for a long time.

Cui Youran, who was watching the fun, refreshed several times, and finally saw what she posted:

A retweet.

The original Weibo was a long time ago.

Gentleman is not good: [Although Christmas has passed for a long time, I still make up a small Christmas house made by myself. I wish my family Qi Wenwen happy every day~]

Attached is a photo of a handmade Christmas cottage.

Qi Min forwarded and commented on this article, the text is very simple:

[Let me introduce to you, this is my girlfriend. ]

Meng Buqing watched the comment area nervously, and begged her cautiously: "Why did you repost this? Are you trying to expose me? Can you please stop telling everyone that you actually made this little house yourself..."

Ji Wan smiled without saying a word.

"What?" Cui Youran heard it was funny, and asked, "She did it, and then you thought it looked good, so you just snatched it up and confessed to Qi Min?"

Meng Buqing pursed her lips: "I didn't know at that time."

"Hahaha!" Cui Youran raised her face with a smile, and took out her phone to expose the matter.

There was a crackling typing.

Meng Buqing seemed to be aware of it, got up and walked over to her, threatening: "Liu Yuanda, control yourself. Otherwise, I will retaliate against you."

Cui Youran was not afraid of her at all, and continued to type, asking easily, "What can you do to me?"

"..."

Meng Buqing thought about it for a while, and there was really nothing he could do about her.The people who can scare her are Ji Wan and Qin Zijin.

Can't help but glance at Ji Wan.

Ji Wan held the cup in her hand and pretended not to hear.There was no intention of making a sound to stop it at all.

Soon, Cui Youran's repost was sent out.

[According to internal information, this house was built by your teacher Qi Min himself, and was snatched by a child who didn't know it at the time, took a photo and posted a super chat-take the house that Qi Min made himself to confess to Qi Min, who laughed to death. ]

After Cui Youran finished posting, she was still editing a new Weibo.

At the same time, Meng Buqing looked at the many comments that were refreshed.

Most of them are blessings, and the hottest one is:

[Good guy, I know this ID! ! !Qi Min, the host of Chaohua, has been on the Super LIKE list for 109 consecutive weeks.Woohoo, my Qi Wenzai, is it still too late for me to sign up for Chaohua in three to five years /crying/crying]

Meng Buqing felt weird, but he couldn't say what was weird.

Seeing that Cui Youran was still typing, she cut and deleted.She leaned over to take a look, Cui Youran also stretched her neck, looked at the comments on Meng Buqing's phone, then lowered her head and continued typing on her Weibo.

Meng Buqing couldn't help being curious: "What are you going to post?"

"Look." Cui Youran didn't raise her eyes.

She was thinking carefully.

Knowing that Meng Buqing's account has a strong readership attribute, other readers will definitely notice this.

Maybe it won't be misinterpreted by people with ulterior motives as Qi Wen asking readers in her super talk, and further - all kinds of unexpected words can be said even worse.

Qi Min is upright and upright, never caring how the people hiding in the dark speculate and distort.

Always wanted to say something.

Whenever Liu Yuan felt something was wrong, she would secretly patch up her words.Protecting her good friend Qi Min with this kind of gentle way that may be purely redundant, but also windless and innocent.

Don't give sunspots a chance.

It's the same this time.

Cui Youran finished typing on Weibo, checking for typos.

She also reposted the previous Weibo post that Ji Wan came to her home to exchange books.

[Finally I can tell everyone the reason why it is dreamy and wonderful—it’s actually super funny——Ms. Qi Min took the wrong courier, and mistakenly thought it was from the publishing house, and signed all the books bought by @君子不负小儿 for the lottery After becoming famous, in order not to lose her horse, she came to my house in a hurry to exchange for new books.The kid is a school girl from the same school as me. She has a super good personality, and is white and tender, super cute. ]

Meng Buqing frowned and looked at Cui Youran's words of repairing the appearance, but didn't say anything for a long time.

She touched her arm, and she could clearly feel the hard muscle lines through the clothes.I can't help but wonder how much the author's nonsense can be believed.

Seeing that she was about to send it.

Meng Buqing: "Are you really not going to change?"

"Ah?" Cui Youran raised her eyes to look at her, then looked at Weibo, touched her chin and said cautiously, "That's right, if one day you are pulled out by others, it may affect my privacy."

As she said that, she deleted the information about her school girl from the same school.

Click Send.

Meng Buqing: "..."

Meng Buqing took a deep breath: "Baibai Nennen has a super nice and super cute personality - who the hell is this?"

"I hate it," Cui Youran put down her phone, smiled coquettishly and raised her hand to pat her on the shoulder, and then patted her arm a few more times, "Aren't you white and tender? You're already Super cute and super nice."

Meng Buqing couldn't bear it anymore, put his hands on her shoulders and shook her vigorously: "You wake me up, look at me, don't indulge in your own inexplicable fantasies."

"Sister! Sister, sister, I was wrong."

Cui Youran tried to struggle, but she couldn't break free at all.She was considered a strong girl, but Meng Buqing grabbed her like a little chick and fell under the ruthless eagle's claws.

He hurriedly begged for mercy.

Meng Buqing hummed and let her go.

Cui Youran turned around while supporting her right arm with her left hand, and looked at Ji Wan who was drinking and watching a play with a strange expression on her face.The subconscious idea of ​​"year upside" completely collapsed.

Turning his face away, he looked at Meng Buqing's hand again.Slender and fair, she looks so beautiful and elegant.

How can you be so strong...

Weird Girl...

gosh...

Meng Buqing suddenly received a lot of news.

The reader group of Qi Wen that she joined a long time ago has 99+ news all of a sudden.A small group of several people, everyone is a big fan of Qi Min, and they have played with Meng Buqing for a long time.

Just found out about it today.

The small group of only nine people boiled.

Someone posted a screenshot of a Weibo comment being liked.

That day when Qi Min disclosed the news of her relationship, many readers cried and said they wanted to go to the flyover to blow the wind.Meng Buqing bad-mouthed all the IDs she knew.

It's been taken out now.

Mu Jiu: [Thought that her point of like was to express the same frustration as mine.It turned out that she happily wanted us to dance! ]

Mu Jiu: [/smile/smile]

. . . :［@君子不计而出来打打! ! ! ]

More than ten: [@君子不打Come out and get beaten! ! ! ]

Gray cat: [@君子不打Come out and get beaten! ! ! ]

Meng Buqing: "..."

She bent her lips, wanting to laugh but not daring to.Looking up at Ji Wan, she couldn't help but look at Cui Youran again.

Seeing her strange expression, Cui Youran leaned over to take a look.

Swipe up a few times, and when I figured out what happened, I burst out laughing: "You are so crazy and arrogant, kid, you even gave a thumbs up to the poor heartbroken girl who is about to go to the bridge hahahaha..."

Hearing this, Ji Wan took Meng Buqing's cell phone and looked at the news in the group.

It happened that a "fluffy fox" sent a 99 blessing, and asked when to start a new article.

She pressed the voice directly, and said in a gentle voice: [Thank you for your blessing, the new article will be written in two months, and it is estimated that it will be completed today next year. ]

send out.

Ji Wan returned the phone to Meng Buqing.

After a pause for a few seconds, Meng Buqing watched as the girls in the group began to scream.

Mu Jiu: [Was that Qi Wenwen himself just now? ? ? ]

Mu Jiu: [Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.Thanks for having you @君子不负]

Nan Nan: [Help me, Miss Wenwen, the voice is so good, Su, Su's voice is like a dream, my face is so red, I can't speak at all. ]

. . . : [Because of you, our group is amazing @君子不计]

Shi Yu hazy: [Because of you, our group is amazing @君子不负]

"..."

Meng Buqing suddenly became the apple of the eye from the target of public criticism.

Cui Youran looked on happily, leaned into her ear on purpose, and said in a low voice, "Does it feel good to be successful in chasing stars? Seeing those little brats in your group screaming and shouting Qi Wen's wife, but you are the only one who is really Qi Wen's wife. Tsk tsk, I am a bystander and I feel very happy watching it."

Meng Buqing: "..."

She tried her best to pretend to be calm, but she still couldn't help laughing.

Ji Wan drank all the cocktails in her glass, suddenly feeling a little annoyed, and said softly: "I should have said just now, I will start a new article on the day Teacher Liu Yuan finishes "Four Seasons."

"..."

That "Four Seasons" is the only book written by Cui Youran that Ji Wan chased after.As a result, she wrote halfway through, and felt that the subject matter was too difficult to write, so she gave it directly to the pigeon.

After putting it there and labeling it as an update with the fate, there is no more content.

There are also readers urging, but there are not many of them.

Cui Youran, probably because of her well-chosen name, no one urged her to do something, so she would be carefree.I still don't know if I can finish writing in this life if I put it down like this.

She has to be urged crazily before she can actively work.

Cui Youran opened her mouth, imagining that if Qi Min really said that, then all her readers would run to her to remind her of the doomsday scene, and raised her hand to cover her heart in astonishment: "How could you... say it like this without changing your face?" Such horrible words."

Ji Wan paused for a few seconds, and after serious thinking, said: "What's wrong, my girlfriend said I'm a person who hides a knife in a smile."

Meng Buqing: "..."

Just as Cui Youran was about to say something, the phone rang.

She shook her hand and accidentally clicked to hang up.

He quickly picked up the phone and explained that his hands were shaking.

Just wanted to call back.

Opposite: [Are you at home now? ]

Cui Youran: [Yes. ]

Opposite: [I brought you the book you asked for yesterday. ]

Cui Youran replied with a "received" expression, and said casually, "My professor will come over later, give me something."

"Who is going to bring you something?" Meng Buqing noticed something, and said in a strange tone, "Your professor?"

Ji Wan smiled and asked, "What do you teach? What's your name?"

Cui Youran: "..."

Forget that these two people have read their space diary.

Still limp and limp.

How happy I was when I gossip about others just now, but now it is my turn, the happiness is gone, and I am nervous.Cui Youran smiled sarcastically, and said in a low voice, "Whatever you teach is called a professor."

The answer to this question is to conceal the truth.

Who else could it be except that Professor Qi.

Meng Buqing turned to look at Ji Wan, both of them had clear expressions.

"Your professor came here specially to give you something?" Meng Buqing took Ji Wan's hand and played with it on his lap, smiling wickedly, "Why do you love you so much?"

Cui Youran pursed her lips and said, "She lives in the building next to me, she just dropped by."

Meng Buqing immediately opened his mouth wide: "Wow~ it's amazing."

Ji Wan bent her lips: "It's amazing."

"..."

Sensing the meaning of the two people, Cui Youran quickly waved her hands and explained: "No! It's not what you think! This house was ordered by my parents. I bought it before the graduate students entered school. This matter is pure Coincidentally!"

"No way, is there such a coincidence?"

"Why not! It's close to the school, and the transportation is convenient. Many professors of our school have bought houses here! I have met professors from several of your colleges, and they even gave me a ride!"

Ji Wan and Meng Buqing grabbed her and made fun of her.

Cui Youran was sweating profusely as he explained.

Finally, the barking of two puppies saved her.

Cui Youran strode over, opened the closet, took out the dog food and rice bowl, and breathed a sigh of relief while feeding the dog.She has a big dog Samoyed named Xue Gao and a Chinese pastoral dog named Pudding.

Meng Buqing and Ji Wan watched her feed the dog.

I don't know why, the dog named Pudding has to turn his head and paw Ji Wan's leg twice after eating a few mouthfuls.

Looks like she likes her very much.

He even rubbed his head against her hand.

Ji Wan bent down, took the rice bowl, and patted its head along the way.

Call it a good meal.

After a while, the doorbell rang.

Cui Youran ran over to open the door.The two of them were in the living room, and they couldn't see the situation at the entrance from this angle.Meng Buqing probed his head, wanting to go and take a look at Professor Qi, who has long admired his name.

Cui Youran probably got something and was thanking her.

Hearing the woman talking at the door, her voice was clear and low: "Aren't you going to invite me in?"

Meng Buqing couldn't help being inexplicably excited when he heard this sentence, he really wanted to go over and take a look.Behind him, a hand pulled her back.Ji Wan put her fingers together and put them to her lips to make a silent gesture.

If the person at the door sees that there are still guests inside, he will definitely not bother him anymore.

Cui Youran's distinguished guests cannot be let go.

Meng Buqing also reacted to being pulled like this.Feeling that the two of them are like something, I couldn't help but hold back my laughter, and squatted down to play with her puppy.

While stroking Pudding's head casually, he listened with his ears up.

Cui Youran hesitated, but still invited her in.

There was the sound of shoe cabinets opening and closing.

Until I heard footsteps confirming that the guest had entered the door.Ji Wan straightened up, and met Qi Jin who was wearing a navy blue suit.

Cui Youran introduced to them: "This is my professor, surnamed Qi."

"They are my friends."

Pointing to Meng Buqing, he added, "She is a student of the Mathematical Academy."

Qi Jin was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that she had a guest, so she quickly smiled and nodded in greeting.

Her long hair was tied into a ponytail, neatly tied.He looks very straight, with a straight nose, a slightly square chin, and the corners of his lips are slightly aggressive.

There is a harsh sense of beauty.

Meng Buqing didn't expect Cui Youran to like this type.

When Cui Youran asked her for recommended books yesterday, she printed the documents and circled the parts she couldn't understand, so she happened to ask her to go into the study to help her read.

The materials are all in the study, so naturally welcome her to the study.

When Qi Jin came before, both of them stayed in the study.

This time, maybe Cui Youran was guilty of being guilty, and she always felt that the behavior of throwing two friends in the living room to feed the dogs, and bringing the professor into the study by herself was weird and a bit ambiguous.

Qi Jin obviously didn't feel anything, and closed the door after entering the study.

She sat down and said flatly:

"I went to school for a meeting this morning, and it was raining. While I was having a meeting, I watched the rain outside the window turn from small to large, and it was stormy."

Cui Youran didn't realize that something was wrong, and said casually when taking the materials: "Thanks for your hard work, didn't you get caught in the rain?"

"No," Qi Jin laughed, "but I'm afraid that the potted plants in the office that you have been raising will die in such a heavy wind and rain."

Cui Youran's heart skipped a beat, and her movements froze for a few seconds.I forgot where to get the materials, turned my face and asked with a pretended innocent smile: "Is the plant okay?"

"Well, it's fine, it's fine."

Qi Jin was afraid that the plants that Cui Youran had taken care of for many years would be ruined, and he was embarrassed to ask other students to move to the office on a windy and rainy day, so he hurried back to the office as soon as the meeting was over.

As a result, I found the potted plants I had put on the windowsill for many years...

Qi Jin tapped the table with his knuckles, and said meaningfully: "It's just a little too good. In such a big wind and rain, not a single leaf fell off. There was a pot of green radishes that was overturned by the wind. When I lifted it up to see, the leaves didn't fall off. It's still so green..."

Cui Youran laughed, unable to hide what she saw.

Frantically thinking about how to explain it.

Qi Jin's tone seemed to be really confused, and he looked at Cui Youran and asked, "Those were changed offices a few years ago. I went to the flower and bird market to bring back plants in pots and raised them for two or three years. Guess what?"

"..."

"I don't know why, it turned into a fake bonsai."

At the beginning, Cui Youran read a few perennial plant planting guides in order to have a reason to go to her office more, and brazenly said that she loved plants the most.He patted his chest and volunteered, and won the right to take care of the potted plants in the office.

After growing it for a few days, I don't know why, the edge of the leaves of a pothos is a little yellow.Cui Youran bought the potion and poured it into the soil according to the book.

When she was pouring the potion, she was discussing with some classmates in the office how to do homework.

Come back in the afternoon.

After half a day, the green radishes that were originally yellow at the edge of the leaves turned yellow and withered, and the whole tree withered.Anyone with eyes can see that this pothos is hopeless.

Cui Youran was stunned on the spot.

The classmate let out a shocking laugh, and said, "You may have to write an [-]-word self-criticism later, and explain to the professor why you did some acts of poisoning her pothos."

Cui Youran was of course very nervous, so she hurriedly called her brother who was away on the construction site for help, and asked him to bring a pot of green radishes to the office when he returned to school.

I also sent him the photo and asked him to try to buy one that looks exactly the same.

Hastily pulled out the dying green radishes, wrapped them in paper towels and pressed them under the trash can.Li Daitao froze when he was about to wait for his brother to come back with a new one.

The senior brother did bring back one that was very similar to the dead little Luluo.

Along the way from the construction site to the school, there were no flower shops or flower and bird markets. Her genius brother used the Dafa method to get one back from the leader's office.

Wet fake green radishes with water.

Cui Youran was about to collapse, and it was too late to go out of school to buy it in person, so she had to bury the fake green radishes in the soil first to pretend.

Unexpectedly, the effect is very realistic.

No one can tell it's fake.

It takes a long time to even touch it with your hands before you can recognize it.Unless you pinch it directly, you will find that it is a constant pinching thing.

Cui Youran was relieved slowly, and after discovering that the fake plants were no different from the real ones, whenever there was any problem with other potted plants, she would replace them with fake ones.

After two years, only the pot of cactus on Qi Jin's table is real.

"..."

She took the fake ones seriously and raised them, but she forgot that the plants were fake.

Now something happened.

Cui Youran looked at Qi Jin's expression and recognized that she was not angry.

Can't help but quietly feel at ease.

"It's like this, professor," Cui Youran lowered her head, looked at the hands on her knees, and said solemnly, "I didn't have any love for these plants at first, but I watered them day and night and took good care of them. Suddenly discovered the magic of life, when the sun shines down, the meridians on the back of the leaves are so clear..."

Qi Jin just listened quietly.

Cui Youran babbled earnestly for a long time, talking from east to west, from left to right, and even rose to the speculation of truth.

Seeing that Qi Jin didn't even move her brows, she finally couldn't help being cowardly: "Teacher, I was wrong..."

It usually takes such a long time, she should smile no matter what.

Are you really angry this time?

But those potted plants are nothing special at all...

"Continue," Qi Jin frowned, "You just mentioned what is true and what is false, and you mentioned Hegel, I am very interested."

Cui Youran: "..."

Cui Youran puffed her face slightly: "I was wrong, I will go and replace all the fake ones with real ones tomorrow."

Qi Jin smiled: "Isn't it true and false? I like to hear it, so I don't need to change it."

"If you like philosophy, the one sitting outside is considered half a philosophy teacher." Cui Youran handed over the materials and said coquettishly, "Let's let her talk about it later."

Qi Jin looked down at the marked place on the paper.

He murmured, "You little girl, why do you have so many strange thoughts every day. I've never heard of someone who turned all the teacher's real flowers into fake ones."

Cui Youran didn't smile, but a smile flashed in her eyes, and she asked her: "I know I was wrong, how can I forgive me? Give me a chance to make amends, I am willing to do anything."

There was a few seconds of silence.

Qi Jin didn't raise her eyes, but said in a gentle voice, "Follow me and continue my Ph.D."

"..."

I was dumb for a while.

Cui Youran laughed, and murmured: "I don't have the talent to study for a Ph. D. I'm afraid I won't be able to graduate."

"Can't I see if you have any?" Qi Jin raised her face and looked straight at her, "Follow me, I guarantee you can graduate."

Cui Youran's heart beat like a drum, and she said dryly, "Even if you can graduate successfully, you will be an old girl after finishing your doctorate." She stopped talking suddenly.

Qi Jin looked at her quietly.

Cui Youran realized that she was now being cornered by her, so she couldn't help laughing.At the same time, an unprecedented courage pumped from the heart to all the limbs, and a slight electric impulse moved her, and the long-term feelings could not be contained.

She said calmly: "You can study for a Ph. D., and I don't really care if I can graduate. I'm just afraid that my studies will hinder me from falling in love—will it hinder me?"

Her eyes lingered on Qi Jin's face.

"Professor, tell me."
