soul mate

Afterwards, Qin Zhen didn't watch the game again, and he didn't go to the stadium again. When they had dinner together on Tuesday, Lu Yunqi told him happily: "We've entered the quarterfinals!"

Qin Zhen saw the congratulatory poster made by the Propaganda Department in the hall of the courtyard building: "Congratulations!"

Lu Yunqi asked anxiously: "Friday is going to play against material, do you want to come and see?"

Qin Zhen smiled and shook his head: "Didn't it be agreed before? If I can make it to the semi-finals, I will watch it."

Lu Yunqi lowered his head a little disappointed, but soon became happy again: "The coach said that our academy has performed very well this year, I think we can definitely get in!"

The sports meeting was scheduled for October 26th and 27th. According to the usual practice, the first-year students would have to suspend their classes, so Qin Zhen's class on Tuesday just happened to be washed out.The basketball team of the college stopped in the semi-finals by one point in the match against the material. Although this is the best result of the basketball team of the college in the past five years, it is still a bit regrettable.

Qin Zhen hasn't seen Lu Yunqi since he heard the news.

Because of the suspension of classes, Qin Zhen's originally full schedule had two classes vacated. This time is not too much, and it is not too much. Qin Zhen thought about it, and simply went to the school library to check material.He hasn't been to the school library for a long time, because the major is relatively unpopular, and there are not many relevant materials in the school library. Qin Zhen spends most of his time browsing documents in the library of the school, or directly uses online resources.

When he came out of the library again, it was already lunch time, and when he was walking towards the cafeteria, he happened to pass by the stadium, so Qin Zhen took a look inside.

Even at this time, there are still many people in the stadium, and there are students in the auditorium who are "holding their ground". After a short lunch break, the game will continue. Qin Zhen saw some students in the auditorium eating bread , obviously not planning to go back for lunch.

Qin Zhen scanned the auditorium as he walked, but failed to find the site of the hospital, so he gave up searching and went straight to the cafeteria.

The cafeteria near twelve o'clock is always overcrowded, probably because of the sports meeting. Even though Qin Zhen arrived 10 minutes earlier to avoid the peak time of class after class, the queue for buying food is still very long.When he finished his meal and was about to find an empty seat with his plate in hand, he saw Lu Yunqi.

Lu Yunqi was with a boy, who looked like he had just arrived at the cafeteria. The boy said something, and carelessly reached out and patted Lu Yunqi's shoulder. Lu Yunqi| nodded, with a decent smile on his face all the time.

Qin Zhen looked at his smiling face and felt that he was a little different from usual.

After twelve o'clock, it becomes "difficult to find a table" in the cafeteria, and people who come later can only wait for the people sitting with their plates to finish eating, or share a table with strangers.Qin Zhen was halfway through his meal when he suddenly heard someone ask, "Is there anyone here?"

Qin Zhen looked up, and saw the boy who was with Lu Yunqi standing by the table before, saw him look up, and then recognized that it was the teacher in his yard: "Ah, hello, Teacher Qin."

Qin Zhen nodded: "There is no one here, you sit down." Then he continued to bury his head in his meal.

The boy quickly put down the plate, and then shouted to the other side: "Lu Yunqi! Here!"

Qin Zhen didn't look up, but heard the boy say, "Just sit here, there's no empty table."

Then came Lu Yunqi's voice: "There are so many people... Teacher Qin?!"

Qin Zhen looked up and smiled at him: "Yes."

Lu Yunqi sat down next to Qin Zhen, and the boy sat opposite him, chatting with him about the sports meeting in the morning while eating, maybe it was because of Qin Zhen's presence, the boy's voice seemed not as excited as before.

Lu Yunqi seemed to be a little absent-minded, and occasionally spoke in a casual tone. Qin Zhen has been listening to them in silence, feeling a little uncomfortable.He quickly finished the food in the bowl, and stood up holding the plate: "I'm leaving first, you eat slowly."

The boy quickly said, "Goodbye, teacher!"

Qin Zhen said goodbye with a smile, and strode away.

When he went to class again on Thursday afternoon, Lu Yunqi was still sitting in his old seat, but he looked at Qin Zhen with a little more loss and sadness. Qin Zhen guessed that he hadn't recovered from the basketball game.After class, Qin Zhen packed up his things, saw that Lu Yunqi was still lying on the seat, he hesitated for a while and decided to leave first.

There are too many people in the classroom, even if Qin Zhen wants to say a word of comfort to him, it is not appropriate.Only then did Qin Zhen realize that he didn't seem to have any contact information with Lu Yunqi, whether it was an email address or a mobile phone number.

"Mr. Qin!"

Qin Zhen walked slowly to the door of the classroom, and stopped when he heard the shouts. A girl came over with a textbook and asked a question, and Qin Zhen explained it to her in detail. After the girl nodded and left, Qin Zhen took another look at Lu Yunqi, Seeing that he was still lying there looking at him with his head tilted, he sighed slightly in his heart and walked out of the classroom.

"Mr. Qin—"

When he reached the corner of the stairs, Qin Zhen heard a familiar voice. He stopped and breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

"Teacher Qin, I..." Lu Yunqi was slightly out of breath, his cheeks flushed, "We failed to make it to the semi-finals."

Qin Zhen hesitated for a moment, but reached out and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him: "I know. You have performed very well."

Lu Yunqi hesitated to speak, and seemed a little disappointed. Qin Zhen thought for a while and said, "I went to watch one of your matches before."

Lu Yunqi raised his head to look at him, with half-surprise and disbelief on his face.

Qin Zhen said: "It was the game you played against the College of Arts. I remember you were wearing a blue jersey, and it was... No. [-], right?"

Lu Yunqi nodded quickly: "You really went to see it!"

Qin Zhen nodded: "You performed very well and passed the ball beautifully. Isn't there a girl in the class who brings you water..."

"We are ordinary classmates! The water is bought by the team!" Lu Yunqi interrupted Qin Zhen in a panic.

Qin Zhen originally just wanted to tease him, but was a little surprised to see his reaction so big.Lu Yunqi probably also realized that he was overreacting, and opened his mouth with a blushing face, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only repeat dryly: "We are just ordinary classmates..."

Qin Zhen smiled: "Okay, okay, ordinary students are ordinary students! But the university love teacher won't care about it, so don't worry."

Lu Yunqi stared at Qin Zhen with a pair of eyes. He wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it. He could only nod his head. The teacher from the next two classes happened to pass by. When he saw Qin Zhen, he said hello: "Mr. Qin .”

"Professor Cheng." Qin Zhen nodded with a smile, and waited for the other party to leave his mouth before saying to Lu Yun: "Okay, let's go back to class, huh?"

Lu Yunqi nodded obediently: "Goodbye, teacher."

Qin Zhen waved to him: "Goodbye."

In November, mid-term exams began for subjects with mid-term exams. Qin Zhen was too lazy to get the papers, and the textbook happened to cover the part of El Niño, so he said: "Well, although there is no mid-term exam in our course, I will I will assign you an extra homework. The chapter we are studying now is about El Niño. If you are interested, you can check some information yourself, write a small paper and submit it. This homework is not mandatory, and you don’t have to write it if you don’t want to. How about counting it as a bonus item in your usual grades?"

A student at the bottom asked: "Is there a word count requirement for short papers?"

Qin Zhen thought for a while: "More than [-] words. If you don't want to write El Niño, you can write other things, as long as it is related to your major."

After class, Lu Yunqi ran over and asked, "If I find something I don't understand in my research, can I ask you?"

Qin Zhen looked at him amusedly: "Don't you usually ask too few questions?"

Lu Yunqi said: "But you only have two classes a week..."

Qin Zhen asked back: "Aren't two classes enough?"

Seeing that Lu Yunqi didn't speak, Qin Zhen shook his head with a smile and said, "If you really have a problem, you can come to my office to find me, on the second floor of the courtyard building, B213. Or you can also send me an email."

Lu Yunqi asked: "Is it okay to send text messages?"

Qin Zhen nodded: "SMS is fine, but if you really can't, you can call me directly?"

Lu Yunqi nodded hurriedly.

After getting permission, Lu Yunqi ran to Qin Zhen's office every three days. Although he did bring problems every time, Qin Zhen still felt that the frequency was too high.

"Isn't there a midterm exam coming soon? You don't need to review?" Qin Zhen asked while packing his things.

Lu Yunqi nodded and shook his head indifferently: "Yes, but there are too many people in the library and there are no seats."

December [-]th was the anniversary of the college, and a general meeting was held in the courtyard as usual. Qin Zhen arrived early, and saw that a few faculty members in the venue were gathering around, talking about something.One of them saw Qin Zhen coming in and greeted him: "Xiao Qin is here!"

Qin Zhen walked over with a smile: "Professor Cheng. What are you talking about?"

Professor Cheng said: "I'm talking about this group of students. I think there are many good seedlings in the junior year. Does Mr. Qin still plan to accept graduate students next year?"

Qin Zhen said: "I'm still not clear about this, let's see what the courtyard thinks."

The others chatted a little more, Qin Zhen listened to them praise the junior student named Zhang Yang, and then changed the topic to the freshman this year.

One of the lecturers said: "Several freshmen in this class look good."

Professor Cheng said: "It's still early for freshmen in this class, and it will take two years to see signs of it."

Another associate professor interjected, "However, the freshmen this year are quite motivated to study, and there are quite a lot of people who come to ask questions after class."

"This is..."

Then Qin Zhen listened to them mention several freshmen he liked, and heard Lu Yunqi's name without any surprise.Qin Zhen interjected, "I heard that Lu Yunqi's grades are pretty good, and he's usually a diligent student."

Professor Cheng said: "The grades are really good. I heard that several courses are in the [-]s! But it's fine to study hard and ask questions. He hasn't listened to my class."

Qin Zhen was a little surprised.

Another professor said, "Everyone understands what you're talking about, and it's okay if you don't listen. He listens carefully to my lectures, and occasionally asks questions if he doesn't understand. He's a good student."

I don't know if it's because of his good grades or something else, but Lu Yunqi has a strong presence among the teachers who have taught freshmen, but although most of the teachers gave him unanimous praise, Qin Zhen still keenly noticed something was wrong. The place.

Seeing that Qin Zhen was silent, Professor Cheng said clearly, "Little Qin! Don't tell me, just like Lu Yunqi chasing you, if I didn't know that you were discussing scientific issues, I would have suspected that kid was talking about science. Chasing you! Except for your class, I have never seen him be so enthusiastic about any class!"

Qin Zhen was shocked when he heard this.
