Xin Zhai

Tong Yan returned to school, went to the office first, and opened the mailbox. There were a hundred unread emails. He took a quick look and saw the award notification of "Youqing".This year, three people were selected for the A Grand Prix, which is considered the best year.

"Are you back?" Xiao Meng heard some movement in his room, and walked in unsteadily, "Have you played well?"

Tong Yan didn't look up, and said "hmm" to the computer.

Xiao Meng leaned against the table, folded his arms and smiled: "You are looking for your student, right?"

"Have people taken care of you?"

Tong Yan glanced at him from above his eyes, opened an email, and began typing on the keyboard to reply.

"Okay, I really have you. You said that you are in your thirties, have a successful career and rich experience, right? Isn't it right to chase after a child who has no experience in the world?..."

"Envy?" Tong Yan nodded at him.

Xiao Meng laughed: "This person is not young anymore, but he still has a heart to pursue youth, which is understandable, but he must be responsible in doing things. The picture is quick, find such a small one, what will happen in the future?" Have a good time."

After he finished speaking, seeing that Tong Yan didn't respond, he poked his neck and asked, "You don't think you don't want to live with others, do you? Pull down when you get tired of it?"

"What the hell, I want to tear your mouth off." Tong Yan was angry and funny, and cursed, "If you have time, hurry up and find someone who doesn't have a generation gap to marry and have a baby. Don't stare at me all day long."

"Well, don't worry, it's coming soon! I will definitely notify you when I get married."

"Oh," Tong Yan asked, "is that the girl who came last time? The one with the red hair?"

"Yeah, red hair." Xiao Meng smiled as if he had won the lottery, he wanted to hide it, but the muscles on his face couldn't be controlled.

Seeing his smug look, Tong Yan was a little surprised.He is about the same age as himself, and has reached the age of marriage. I have seen him have two or three girlfriends in the past few years, but he has never mentioned marriage at all.But this time, it feels different.

"Hey, Youqing, you have also been judged? Treat me? I found out that you have occupied all the inside and outside! What a blessing."

Tong Yan wanted to say "You're jealous" jokingly again, but after thinking about it, he was still afraid that he would be annoyed.There is no man in his early thirties who doesn't care about career, fame, and money, even if it looks like a fool on the surface.

"Hey," Xiao Meng saw that he was silent again, and patted him on the shoulder, "I'm not wrong, right? People are also taking it?"

Tong Yan wanted to strangle him right now, so he rubbed his chair to the table, bowed his head and said, "I haven't done a lot of work, so I don't have time to talk to you."

"Okay, let's go, please have a meal tonight."

As soon as Xiao Meng left, Tong Yan stared blankly at the e-mail of Youqing's award notification.If it was a year ago, he had great ambitions and won this award, he must have been very satisfied.

As a teacher in a college, whoever said that he didn't care about this award is absolutely a lie.

But now, not only because of the trouble this thing brought to Ye Li and him, but also because of the intrigue in the future.He owed another favor to the dean, and became the opponent's first thorn in the side.These are very different from the happiness he had when he was working at the beginning, and now, he is actually a little discouraged.How could he be happy about You Qing, who was finally obtained after causing a lot of trouble in the city?

Moreover, since he had the idea of ​​going to Australia to do a postdoctorate some time ago, he couldn't let it go.When Ye Li was in class last week, he went to several laboratories related to his major.With his current research experience and qualifications, it is overqualified to be a postdoctoral fellow.As long as he is willing, he is definitely welcome there.It’s just like what Ye Li said, if you go there as a postdoctoral fellow, you’ll have to give up everything you’ve achieved in University A and the current step in the domestic university system.

Going abroad to do a postdoctorate itself is a matter of input and output that is not directly proportional, and it is very difficult to find a job in a foreign university.Maybe you can find a job in a company after finishing your Ph.D.?

While Tong Yan was staring at the computer and thinking wildly, Director Guo, who was in charge of teaching in the department, came in.

"Ms. Tong, this year's senior graduates, you have to work harder. There are a lot of people this year. One of our teachers is on maternity leave, and the other is promoted to a Ph.D. supervisor, so we don't take undergraduates."

"Oh, how many?"

"Three, do you choose or I arrange?"

"You line up."

In the first few years when Tong Yan first took care of students, he liked those students with good grades.When teaching juniors, juniors and seniors, students come to ask him questions, and he will know who has aura after chatting with him, and those who often come to answer questions must be diligent.Lin Li is a typical example. Director Guo asked him the same way that year, so he called Lin Li's name.

Now that I think about it, I am really a little too one-sided and pursuing perfection too much.

Finding a good student is nothing more than taking it easy on yourself.

To do research, in most cases, you only need to "persist". The attribute of "smartness" is just the icing on the cake of the last 1%, and it is not as important as "luck".

He has been dealing with mail all afternoon.The next day, he had to arrange three final projects. In the evening, he hurriedly came up with three topics, and it was almost 11 o'clock when he returned to Xinzhai.

He and Ye Li had a video chat for a while.Ye Li kept staring at the phone with a smirk, and asked him who he would take to do the final project. He said he didn't know yet, and said that he would let Tong Yan take him to do the final project next year.Tong Yan smiled and said that it was all arranged by the leader.Ye Li was dubious and a little disappointed.

As a result, the next morning, the department held a short meeting on the senior year's graduation project.The Director assigns candidates.

Xiao Meng was also divided into three, and they yelled bitterly at him for a long time at the meeting.No way, no one who is old and experienced will do such thankless things again.

Tong Yan thought about talking to the three students first, arranging the seats in the laboratory, and briefly explaining the general content of the project, so he took the three students to the large laboratory on the first floor.

"This is how I am. You usually go to class, and come here if you want to stay. Theoretically, the graduation project starts this semester, but you may have time to do it full-time in the second half of the year. So starting from the next semester, everyone is required to do it every day. Come to the lab."

Over the years, many students did not come to the laboratory after graduation.Senior students are busy looking for jobs and postgraduate entrance examinations, and they can only go deep into the project to a limited extent. In the end, they do experiments for a few days and fool around with a paper to hand in.Some teachers turn a blind eye, because this matter cannot be assessed, and it will not benefit the teacher if it is done well.But Tong Yan couldn't see this perfunctory.Students may not be smart and not so diligent, but what should be done is still to be done.

He was talking to three people when the phone rang.He picked it up and saw it was Ye Li.

At 10:30 in the morning, Tong Yan was afraid that something might happen to him, so he hurriedly said, "I'll answer the phone later."

Ye Li is using voice chat.He clicked on it, and Ye Li's sticky "Hello" came out of the speaker.

What does this call mean?

Tong Yan frantically pressed the receiver to answer, and walked to the window.

"what happened?"

Ye Li said in a daze, "It's okay."

"Not up yet?" Tong Yan asked in a low voice.

Ye Li smirked and said, "I still can't sleep after two o'clock last night."

"Why?" Tong Yan looked back at the three students, and swallowed the second part of the sentence "can't sleep".

The other end of the phone said: "I slept with you for a week, and I'm not used to being alone."

Tong Yan frowned, feeling that he was Xiao Meng when he mentioned "red hair" yesterday, his facial muscles were twitching.

He clutched the phone and said to the three students waiting for him in the laboratory: "Go to the information center on the third floor, bring the three computers over, and connect them first."

"Okay." The three went out.Tong Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Would you like to sleep with me?" He was a little complacent, and even the tone at the end of the sentence turned upwards.

"Hmm..." Ye Li hesitated to speak.

Which is good, of course it is good.From the first night to the night before the final separation, in just a few days, the two of them basically did every pose once.His little lover, from the shy resistance at the beginning, was completely manipulated by him later, and he also enjoyed it.

"Tell me?" Tong Yan's mind was full of his flushed face when he was on the bed, and he hung up the phone quickly, losing control of his mouth.

Ye Li still didn't answer him, but said falteringly: "Then, just this morning, I had a dream."

"Dream about me?"

"Yeah. Dreamed...in the lab."

"Lab?" Tong Yan turned around and faced the entire laboratory.

At this time, the three students came back with their computers.

"Well...in the lab, you hug me...I'm sitting on the table...that's the table I'm sitting on."

The three students were busy around the table.Tong Yan's heart was pounding, and he glanced at the row of tables.Ye Li used to sit on the one closest to the wall.At that time, Ye Li and him were often the only two busy in the laboratory at night.He used the table next to Ye Li.

"Then..." Ye Li smiled embarrassedly, "Then I don't know what happened, I sat on the table without pants, my butt was so cold."

Tong Yan felt that a tendon from his feet to his head had been electrocuted, and he leaned against the window sill, unable to move.

"Hey, are you listening?" Ye Li asked.

Tong Yan let out a "hmm".

"Is it inconvenient?" Ye Li asked again.

"No".

Ye Li then muttered, "But as soon as you hug me, I get hot..."

After saying this, Ye Li stopped talking, Tong Yan waited for a while, and said, "And then?"

"Then...are you alone?" Ye Li asked again.

"Yes."

"Then, I was lying on the table... It was very uncomfortable... The table was still unstable and wobbly."

Tong Yan had no choice but to turn around and face the window.Although he hadn't seen it, the appearance of his students lying on the laboratory table with their legs open began to be illuminated by the flash in his mind, and they were continuously photographed in his mind frame by frame. The ground moves in the picture, and I am deeply immersed in it, and I never get tired of it.

"Well... Then I woke up, it was too real, I just missed you haha."

Tong Yan swallowed unconsciously, holding up the phone, not knowing what to say or what to do.

"Hang up...I'm going to get up."

"Well," Tong Yan took a deep breath and said, "Go."

What should Ye Li do after hanging up the phone?Tong Yan opened the window and blew a cool breeze for a while before he entered a state of calm.

His student, who just passed his 21st birthday, really killed him.
