soul mate

After talking clearly with Lu Yunqi, Qin Zhen originally thought that this matter was over, so when he went to class on Thursday afternoon, he was even in a relaxed mood, and when he saw Lu Yunqi again, he didn't deliberately ignore him again—— Of course, they didn't pay too much attention to him.

They will return to the normal teacher-student relationship, Qin Zhen thinks so.

During class, Lu Yunqi's eyes were still glued to Qin Zhen's body, which made Qin Zhen feel a little uncomfortable. After class, Qin Zhen quickly packed up his things and left, and only slowed down when he reached the corner of the stairs.

Lu Yunqi didn't call out to stop him as usual, which made Qin Zhen heave a sigh of relief and at the same time feel a little bit disappointed. He looked up upstairs while going downstairs, but caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

The boy was standing by the handrail of the stairs, looking down with his head down, who else could it be if it wasn't Lu Yunqi?

Qin Zhen's heart was shocked, and he stopped unconsciously.Lu Yunqi's eyes intersected with his, Qin Zhen immediately turned his head in embarrassment, but Lu Yunqi just looked at him steadily, watching him hurried downstairs, and didn't speak.

Lu Yunqi didn't rack his brains to find problems to talk to Qin Zhen, nor went to Qin Zhen's office to report. Qin Zhen recalled the look in Lu Yunqi's eyes when he saw Lu Yunqi on the stairs, and felt that he probably gave up.

Still say no, what is it?Qin Zhen couldn't help thinking, and then shook his head in shock, as if he wanted to throw these inexplicable thoughts thousands of miles away.

A week later, Qin Zhen returned to his normal routine. When he took the key to open the office door, a teacher from the same college passed by. When he saw him, he said, "Long time no see, Teacher Qin."

Qin Zhen smiled: "Long time no see."

The teacher said: "Last time, I saw a student standing at the door of your office. Maybe I have something to ask you and you are not here..."

Qin Zhen was taken aback for a moment, guessing that it was Lu Yunqi, and after hearing what the teacher said, he just said, "Oh, he got in touch with me later..."

The dean called Qin Zhen to the office when he came back from the meeting in the imperial capital. Unfortunately, when Qin Zhen arrived, the dean was talking to the deputy dean. Qin Zhen reached out and knocked on the door. The dean looked up and saw him, and pointed Pointing to the sofa next to him: "Come and sit on the side first."

Qin Zhen walked over obediently, and there was already a person sitting on the single sofa. He was young and looked like a student.Qin Zhen was sitting on the couch. The boy probably regarded him as a student and greeted him friendly: "Hi!"

To be honest, Qin Zhen was a little delicate.

But he had heard this sentence countless times in the past 20 years, so he quickly adjusted his facial expression and smiled at the boy.

Seeing his friendly attitude, the boy opened his mouth to say something, just at this time the dean sent the vice dean away, and came over to introduce them: "Come on, Xiao Qin, this is the third year of this year My student is Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang, this is Teacher Qin from our college who studies paleoclimate."

The boy's eyes widened slightly, but he soon came back to his senses: "Hello, Teacher Qin."

Qin Zhen nodded: "Hello."

The dean said: "Zhang Yang, are you here to ask about the innovation plan? It just so happens that Teacher Qin is here, so let's help with reference." The innovation plan is a teaching activity that every undergraduate must participate in. Students form teams and choose their own. The topic, under the guidance of the teacher, conducts simple research and analysis, and then writes a thesis based on the results and conducts a final defense, which can be regarded as a preliminary familiarity with scientific research work.

Zhang Yang nodded, and described his group's research topics and problems in an orderly manner: "...After we collected the data, we found that the conclusions drawn by the two sets of analysis methods were quite different, and we didn't know which one to use. The conclusion of the set is better, so I want to ask the teacher’s opinion.”

"This question," the dean smiled and patted Qin Zhen on the back, "Let Teacher Qin tell you, he is better at this than me."

Hearing what the dean said, Qin Zhen didn't refuse, and asked, "Can you show me the results of your analysis?"

"Ah, I'm sorry!" Zhang Yang nodded quickly, and handed Qin Zhen the document that was casually placed on the table.Qin Zhen took it over and looked at it, compared several data in the two analysis results, and said: "I personally recommend that you use the second set of analysis results. Look here..."

Probably because he explained a lot with Lu Yunqi, Qin Zhen was very patient and meticulous when explaining to Zhang Yang, and after he finished speaking, he asked quite gently "Do you understand?", but when he turned his head and saw Zhang Yang's face, he just He remembered that the person in front of him was not Lu Yunqi.

Zhang Yang had a good impression of this young teacher, and after thanking him again and again, he left. The dean smiled and motioned Qin Zhen to sit down: "Xiao Qin, this explanation is quite in place! Do you want to recruit some graduate students this year?" ?”

Qin Zhen was taken aback: "I..."

The dean waved his hand and interrupted him: "Xiao Qin, I know what you are capable of, and you gave Zhang Yang a good explanation just now. It has been a year since you were rated as an associate professor. You are an undergraduate class. I've been there too, and it's not as difficult as you think to lead students, is it? In the second half of this year, several professors in our college will go abroad for visits, and there are not many remaining graduate students who can lead graduate students, you..."

The dean's meaning was obvious, and Qin Zhen couldn't refuse, so he nodded and agreed: "I see."

The dean patted him on the shoulder in satisfaction: "Don't worry, you won't be asked to bring too many people in the beginning, just try bringing one or two first!"

After coming out of the dean's office, Qin Zhen returned to his own office. As soon as he entered the door, he heard a familiar voice: "Teacher Qin!" Qin Zhen's eyelids twitched, and when he looked up, he saw Lu Yunqi standing in front of his desk. Looking at him with a smile.

Qin Zhen nodded, and asked with a straight face, "What's the matter?"

Lu Yunqi saw him like this, and a hurt look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly cheered up, and raised the document in his hand to Qin Zhen: "I encountered a little problem when writing the thesis, and I want to ask the teacher for advice. "

Although he knew that this was Lu Yunqi's usual approach to strike up a conversation, but Qin Zhen just fell for him.Qin Zhen walked to the desk and sat down, stretched out his hand: "Take it here. What's the problem?"

However, Lu Yunqi did not hand over the document directly, but walked around to Qin Zhen, put the document on the table, and leaned over to point it out to him: "This is the place..."

Qin Zhen glanced at him, Lu Yunqi paused, opened his mouth and wanted to continue talking nonchalantly, Qin Zhen pointed to the opposite side: "In the past."

Lu Yunqi put on a pitiful look, seeing that Qin Zhen was unmoved, he could only go to the opposite side aggrieved and listened to Qin Zhen's explanation across the table.Seeing his appearance, Qin Zhen was amused in his heart, but his face was very serious. After talking about the question, he handed the document back to Lu Yunqi, and issued the order to evict the guest: "Is there anything else?"

Lu Yunqi asked eagerly, "Are you free for Christmas?"

Christmas?Qin Zhen was a little dazed, and then realized that it was almost the end of the month.He looked at Lu Yunqi's expectant eyes, and said coldly: "No. As I said, the two of us..."

"But you don't have anyone you like!" Lu Yunqi interrupted him, "You don't hate me, why can't I chase you?"

Qin Zhen was choked by his natural question, and couldn't think of any rebuttal for a while. Seeing him like this, Lu Yunqi felt a little proud: "So I'm chasing you now! But... Forget it, since your Christmas I don’t have time, so my New Year’s Day appointment is the same..."

Qin Zhen immediately said: "I'm not free on New Year's Day either!"

But Lu Yunqi said: "That's okay, I can wait. You will always have time."

Hearing his determined tone, Qin Zhen trembled for a moment, not knowing what to say.Lu Yunqi raised his wrist to look at the time on the watch, then looked at Qin Zhen reluctantly, and murmured: "Class is about to start, I have to go... Goodbye, Teacher Qin!"

Qin Zhen watched his figure disappear at the door, and his heart was beating fast, as if foretelling something.

This year's Christmas is Friday. Thinking of Lu Yunqi's invitation, Qin Zhen was still a little apprehensive when he went to class on Thursday, but until he left the classroom after class, Lu Yunqi behaved normally, but caught up with him after class and said "Christmas" in advance. hapiness".

that's all?Qin Zhen was a little puzzled, but after returning to the office, he found that his thinking was too simple.

A bag was hung on the doorknob of the office. Qin Zhen took it down and saw that there was an apple, a box of tea, and a greeting card inside.

To Qin Zhen:

Christmas Eve & Merry Christmas!

Remember to eat apples tonight to keep you safe.

Last time I went to your office, I saw a box of coffee in the cabinet.Drinking too much coffee is not good for your health. If you are really sleepy, make a cup of tea.But you still have to go to bed earlier, don't stay up all night, it's not good for your health.

From: Lu Yunqi who loves you

The heat on Qin Zhen's face has not subsided after seeing the final signature. He wanted to throw away the greeting card, but he couldn't find a trash can around.After opening the office door, Qin Zhen left and threw the greeting card into the wastebasket. The bag containing tea and apples in his hand was placed on the table casually, not knowing what to do with it.

Just throw it away?That would be too wasteful.

Or give it back to Lu Yunqi?How can I pay it back?You can't mention it to him in the classroom, can you?

Qin Zhen reached out and took out the tea from the bag. It was a box of green tea, which was sold in the school's supermarket. It was not a high-end product, so the price was naturally not expensive.The apples were not packed in a gift box like the ones sold separately in the fruit shop, but the red ones looked very pleasant. Qin Zhen held it in front of him and smelled it, and it seemed to have a little fruity fragrance.

Thinking of the greeting card with two people's names written on it again, Qin Zhen put the apples and tea leaves back into the bag and packed them. After fidgeting for a while, he got up again and ran to the wastebasket to pick up the greeting card.The boy's handwriting on the greeting card was a bit green, but it also showed arrogance. Qin Zhen opened the bottom drawer of the desk and quickly threw the greeting card in.
