"let's break up."

A thin male voice came from the bookshelf behind, with a bit of hysteria that was about to rain, which made Xu Ming, who originally hid in this unpopular academic books and periodicals reading area, frowned for a moment.

Just about to get up and look for another place, another highly recognizable hoarse voice sounded from behind the bookshelf, "Why? Didn't you say you were going on a date?"

As soon as the sound came out, Xu Mingcai's raised foot fell back to the original place. At the same time, he turned his head in disbelief and looked at the thick wooden shelf full of books.

Blocked by many books, it was difficult to see the faces of the two people on the other end, but Xu Ming was almost certain in his heart that the man who was dumped was indeed the one he knew.

In a daze, the two inside said a few more words, and when he regained his senses, someone had already walked out quickly.

Xu Ming glanced roughly, and found that the other party was a young man in his early twenties, with decent facial features, and he was the type to make people look at him more often in the crowd, but his frowning revealed that he was not at the moment. With a patient mood and a look of no strangers, it doesn't look easy to get along with.

After that person left, Xu Ming waited for a while. Obviously the other person had no intention of coming out. Logically, it would have no effect on him leaving or continuing to read his own book at this time. Go behind the bookshelf.

The man in front of him was just as he had imagined, staring blankly at a heavy academic book, his face full of confusion and loss.

Luo Bin has fair skin and a slender figure. He looks empty after wearing a shirt that fits his height. The thick goggles are on the bridge of his nose, and they seem to fall off because of his drooping head in the next second. Exactly what the public thinks of a 'nerd'.

But Xu Ming knew how bright and confident his eyes were under those thick lenses.

He had seen the way this man talked eloquently in the auditorium of ten thousand people, the way he accepted the commendation with humility and courtesy, and the way he forgot to sleep and eat for the experiment.

The only thing is, I never thought that one day I would see this person looking sad because of a broken relationship.

Luo Bin shouldn't be like this.

Xu Ming thought so in his heart, and said so.

Luo Bin obviously didn't think there would be anyone else here, so he raised his head suddenly, and Xu Ming didn't feel guilty. He didn't explain until the surprise in the other party's eyes faded and turned into some doubts, "I'm sorry, Professor Luo, I just happened to be here. I was reading a book in front of me and heard your quarrel, so I came over to have a look."

"Professor Xu, I should say I'm sorry." Luo Bin froze for a moment, stood up, and put the book in his hand back on the shelf, "I'm sorry to interrupt your reading."

Luo Bin lowered his head slightly after speaking, as if he was really sorry and ashamed for his behavior, and walked outside after signaling.

But Xu Ming stopped him again, "Luo Bin, don't you know how to read your lover's mind? Do you need...my help? Maybe I...have a little experience in this area."

This time Xu Ming didn't use the honorific title again, showing a bit of familiarity, but he had no idea in his heart, not sure if such a familiar attitude would arouse the opponent's resentment.

Because the two are actually not familiar with each other, or they can't be called acquaintances. At best, they are just former alumni and... current colleagues.

Xu Ming didn't understand why he suddenly wanted to meddle in other people's business. He only knew that he always protected his weaknesses. At this moment, the person he wanted to protect was Luo Bin. He couldn't see Luo Bin being scolded and disgusted like this. .

Time seemed to be frozen at this moment. After a long century, Xu Ming heard Luo Bin respond in a very soft voice: "Okay, how can you help me?"

Xu Ming and Luo Bin did not actually have any friendship, but they did know each other's existence.

Coincidentally, they all studied in the same institution for their undergraduate, master, and doctoral degrees. After graduation, Xu Ming returned to China and was invited to teach in this school. When he signed the letter of appointment, he heard the principal introduce him: "It just so happens that you have an alumni this morning. I just decided to come to our school to take up a job.”

That alumnus was Luo Bin.

When Xu Ming heard the name Luo Bin for the first time, he was still studying as an undergraduate. That year, the famous No. [-] University in M ​​Country admitted two Chinese students at the same time, both with full scholarships. Everyone in the field is called a genius boy, one is him, and the other is named Luo Bin.

Enrolled in the same year and from the same country, even though they studied in different majors, they are still often mentioned together.

From the mouths of other international students, Xu Ming quickly learned the general situation of the other party.

Completely different from Xu Ming, Luo Bin’s background was not good. His parents passed away when he was very young. He grew up with his grandparents in the village. Self-study by reading books donated by children in the city.

The donated books are not divided into different categories. Luo Bin is always the first to borrow them every time they are sent to the village. He has shown an extraordinary IQ since he was a child. Extensive, not limited to textbooks, especially love to read chemistry books, unknowingly, the amount of knowledge has already surpassed the normal junior high school level.

After the death of his grandparents, with the support of kind people, he finally took the high school entrance examination as he wished and entered the best middle school in the city. In high school, the teacher discovered his extraordinary talent in chemistry and began to focus on training him.

At the National Chemistry Competition, he became a blockbuster, and was soon picked up by the professor from country M who was specially invited as a judge at the time, and recommended him along the way so that he was eligible to study abroad with a full scholarship.

When he was compared with Luo Bin at the beginning, Xu Ming also refused to accept it. He thought that Luo Bin was just lucky and was picked by the professor, which was different from him who received the most excellent education all the way and steadily entered the university. On campus, the other party may soon be overwhelmed.

But the ending is just the opposite. It is not Luo Bin who is almost overwhelmed by the colorful campus life, but Xu Ming.

Xu Ming was born well, and his parents had a little success in business. He can be regarded as a rich second generation who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. He is humorous and sociable, and he quickly got involved in the circle of overseas students and made many friends.

Partying, clubbing, traveling, these days are too rich and interesting, but study has become the most insignificant part of life, and the grades are also dangerously flying on the verge of passing several times.

Until one early morning, he returned from drinking with his friends and passed by the school. From a distance, he saw the dark dormitory building in the school, and only one window was still lit.

Pointing at the lamp, the friend joked, "Look, the 'lucky guy' from your country lives in that room. The Chinese who entered the exam with you is said to be an idiot who only knows how to read. He reads until midnight every day. , no one wanted to share a room with him, so he simply moved to the top floor by himself."

Different from domestic universities, very few people in foreign universities choose to live on campus. Most of the students live in rented houses abroad, but it is not impossible to apply. Students like Luo Bin who are from difficult families and have excellent grades can easily apply for dormitories in the school. It's just two people in one room.

Xu Ming raised his head and looked at the only window that was lit. A small block was hidden in the dark building, almost merging with the sky, but looking at it again, it looked like a star, inconspicuous but unique.

As Xu Ming watched, his drunkenness gradually faded away. He suddenly understood that there was nothing wrong with working hard to acquire knowledge at the age when he should grow up.

After that, he began to face up to this 'old man', and at the same time gradually alienated those rich second-generation friends who had fun all day long, and made up for the missed lessons bit by bit.

The scariest thing in this world is that people who are more talented than you work harder than you.

Luo Bin is a graduate student majoring in chemistry and pharmacy. In a drug research experiment, the fusion of different reagents produced an explosive reaction. His supervisor advised him to give up the experiment, but he insisted on getting a result. He believed that his research direction was not wrong.

In the end, the experiment was successful. With that experiment, he left a footprint in the history of human medicine, became the youngest recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award in the industry, and successfully advanced to the doctoral stage.

Also because of that experiment, he lost his clear voice, and the burnt vocal cords could never recover. The hoarse timbre will be with those achievements and accompany him throughout his life.

As an alumnus, Xu Ming had the honor to watch the grand awards ceremony. Since then, he has always paid attention to Luo Bin's news unconsciously. He doesn't know where Luo Bin will work after graduation, but his decision to return to China, But at least 50.00% are related to Luo Bin who returned to China first.

At this time, Xu Ming attributed this attention to his respect for outstanding scholars. It was not until many years later that the two revisited their old places and walked hand in hand in their alma mater. After passing through those familiar scenes, he suddenly understood that the seeds of love are actually It has already been buried, but it needs soil to make it take root...
