soul mate

Qin Zhen stayed in the room for a long time, and then went out after the heat on his face subsided. He didn't take the stack of small papers again. Qin's mother asked him a few words worriedly, but he also mumbled them.

It was approaching midnight, and the phone started vibrating again. Qin Zhen turned the phone to silent, edited the text message and pressed the group sending button, and let the phone compete for signals with thousands of domestic users.After twelve o'clock, Qin Zhen said Happy New Year to his parents as usual, and received a red envelope from his parents. When his parents went back to sleep, he closed all the electrical appliances, doors and windows at home, took the red envelope and mobile phone Back to the room.

The red envelope was pressed under the pillow as usual. Qin Zhen read through the text messages he received, and made up for the missed ones in the previous group sending. After flipping through the New Year's greetings, he saw an unfamiliar number after a while.

It is said to be an unfamiliar number because the number is not stored in Qin Zhen's mobile phone, but it is not completely unfamiliar.Text message records show that the last contact between them was on New Year's Eve last year, and that was the only contact between them - this number was the one that sent Qin Zhen a New Year's text message last year, and this year, The other party finally signed at the end of the text message.

Lu Yunqi.

When Qin Zhen saw the name, he suddenly remembered the sentence in the email attachment, and his face was still slightly hot.The cursor on the phone flickered in the reply column, but he didn't enter the characters for a long time. Although his eyes were still fixed on the phone screen, his mind wandered somewhere.

How did Lu Yunqi know his mobile phone number during the New Year a year ago?Yes, Tang Jun must have told him.

How was he feeling when he sent this message?Did he like himself then?

It took a long time before Qin Zhen came back to his senses.He read Lu Yunqi's text message again, seeing the occasional technical terms in it, he couldn't help laughing.

There is almost no doubt that this text message was specially written for him by Lu Yunqi.Qin Zhen could even imagine how that person racked his brains to come up with such a text message, and what kind of mood he had in sending this text message.The congratulations in this text message are not elegant, at least they are far worse than those widely circulated templates, and the few technical terms interspersed in the middle are not subtle. If you insist on getting deeper, some There is even a slight problem with the use of technical terms.

Seeing such New Year greetings, Qin Zhen still felt a little warm in his heart.

He thought for a long time, and finally he only replied with four words: Happy New Year!

And in City A thousands of miles away, just like a year ago, Lu Yunqi, who finally got the text message, put his phone beside his pillow and fell asleep with a smile.

Years later, Qin Zhen finished reading the short papers submitted by the students, and took advantage of the last half-month vacation to log the students' final grades into the educational administration system.His course was simple, and most of the students handed in short essays, and the final scores were not low, and none of them failed—this meant that Qin Zhen didn't have to worry about making up exams after the semester started, and it was also for him. Save trouble.

After the term started, Qin Zhen had no classes, so he concentrated on his project again. When he thought of Lu Yunqi, he felt relieved: I don’t need to teach him now, the campus is so big, it’s normal not to see him even for a semester, he will always be damned Are you worried? !

But Lu Yunqi refused to let him do what he wanted.

After the start of this semester, Lu Yunqi ran to the courtyard every three days. At first, he went to Qin Zhen's office to find him a few times, but after being reprimanded by Qin Zhen, he simply put a bunch of books in his arms and put them in the courtyard. Occupying a seat in the self-study classroom, I come here every day to study by myself after class, and it is obvious that I intend to take root here.

Qin Zhen's office and Lu Yunqi's self-study classroom happen to be at the two ends of the corridor. The two doors are facing each other far away. To "encounter" Lu Yunqi.

"Teacher Qin, what a coincidence!" Lu Yunqi squeezed into the narrow boiling water room with him holding a water cup, standing aside and waiting for Qin Zhen to receive the water first, "Are you making coffee again? It's not good to drink too much coffee. Don't you Do you like drinking green tea?"

When we meet again next time, when we see the green tea in Qin Zhen's cup, Lu Yunqi will grin sillily: "Is it delicious?"

The only good thing is that, for unknown reasons, Lu Yunqi usually does not go into the toilet with Qin Zhen, but chooses to stand at the door of the toilet and wait for Qin Zhen to come out before greeting him.

But even so, Qin Zhen still felt a little sullen and helpless after he walked out of the bathroom door and saw Lu Yunqi for the countless times.

After that, Qin Zhen reduced his time in the courtyard.

He didn't have any classes this semester, so in order to avoid Lu Yunqi, he simply took the materials home and read them. The group meetings were also held in other teachers' offices as much as possible. When he needed to use the computer, he would go to the office of this school Stay in the engine room.After a month like this, he didn't enter his office once, and naturally he never met Lu Yunqi again.

After the Ching Ming holiday, Qin Zhen received a call from the dean, asking him to go to the office to talk about graduate students. Qin Zhen hurried from home to the school, and when he entered the dean's office, he happened to see a young man coming out of it.

When the man saw him, he quickly greeted him politely: "Hi, Teacher Qin."

Qin Zhen felt that the other party looked familiar, but couldn't remember the name, so he smiled and nodded as a greeting.

After entering the dean's office, the dean pretended to stare at him: "Xiao Qin, what are you up to lately? Why don't you see anyone all day?"

Qin Zhen smiled wryly in his heart: "The dean is joking."

The dean pointed to the chair in front of the desk and motioned him to sit down: "Okay, young people like freedom, as long as they don't delay work, I don't want to say anything about you. I came here this time to talk to you Tell me about recruiting graduate students."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhen sat up straight and listened carefully.

The dean said: "You also know that Professor Liu and Zhou of our college went to the Arctic scientific research with the team this year. They originally had six graduate students under their names. Our college recruits fewer graduate students every year. If there are six fewer recruits this year, it will be even less, I discussed with other teachers, and four of them have been allocated for direct doctorate, and the remaining two graduate students will be handed over to you, how about it?"

The dean had already raised the issue of recruiting graduate students before, and now that he said so, Qin Zhen would naturally not refuse: "No problem."

The dean said: "That's good. Since you have decided to take a graduate student, you should prepare early. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask other teachers for advice. If you have a fancy seedling, you must hurry up! This year's junior year There are a few students who are very popular, like the Zhang Yang who just left. He is sure to be able to keep the graduate school. I think he is also very interested in your research direction. If you are interested, you can talk to him in advance. Get in touch."

After the dean mentioned this, Qin Zhen remembered that the young man he met before was the junior student he had seen in the dean's office last time, and many teachers praised him full of praise during the school's celebration meeting.

After leaving the dean's office, I walked a few steps forward and met the deputy dean, Professor Liu.When Professor Liu saw him, he greeted him warmly: "Xiao Qin, have you been asked by the dean to talk?"

"Professor Liu." Qin Zhen replied with a smile, "The dean asked me to talk about recruiting graduate students."

Professor Liu was taken aback for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "Finally planning to recruit graduate students?"

Qin Zhen nodded.

Professor Liu said: "There are a few good seedlings in this year's junior year. By the way, there will be a teacher-student exchange meeting at the end of this semester. Remember to make a PPT of your personal introduction, so that you can introduce yourself to the students." You haven't taught them, and you don't have an impression of their estimates for this year. Why don't you go downstairs to Mr. Lu Zhan and ask for a transcript? Let me tell you, recruiting graduate students is like It's a blind date, you have to like him, and he also has to like you, if you think a student is good, you should communicate with him earlier..."

Qin Zhen was slightly embarrassed, and couldn't help interrupting the other party, saying: "Professor, I have something to do, I have to go first..."

Only then did Professor Liu stop talking, and waved his hands with a smile: "Then you hurry up!"

As soon as Qin Zhen was about to receive an amnesty, he quickly turned into the nearest staircase, and after a few hurried steps down, he was suddenly grabbed by the wrist.Qin Zhen was startled, and before he could turn his head, he was pulled and smashed against the wall beside him, but a second before his back collided with the wall, someone put his palm behind him again.

The spring jacket is not too thin, but the heat from the palms is still transmitted through the fabric to the skin on Qin Zhen's back, ironing until his heart trembles.

The man put his other hand on the edge of Qin Zhen's head, making a classic "wall-dong" posture, trapping him within this square inch, with a low voice, full of displeasure and grievance: "Are you avoiding me?"

It was Lu Yunqi.
