soul mate

Before going to bed that night, Lu Yunqi frantically tossed Qin Zhen for a while before giving up. When Qin Zhen woke up the next morning, it was past ten o'clock, and his waist was sore every time he moved, so Lu Yunqi came in with breakfast He was glared at again.

Probably Qin Zhen's words had an effect. After that, Wen Liang didn't come to see the two of them again. When they met in school occasionally, Wen Liang didn't try to strike up a conversation as before. Instead, he nodded and said hello and left. Qin Zhen was relieved and a little annoyed: he knew that explaining the matter clearly to him would solve the problem, and he would never drag it on for so many days and forcefully let this person destroy his good mood so many times.

At the beginning of December, the exchange group of University B left, and they left without a sound. Both Qin Zhen and Lu Yunqi didn't realize it until a long time later.However, this has no effect on the lives of the two of them.

As the weather got colder and colder, Lu Yunqi cut off the branches of the roses on the balcony, turned out all the cotton-padded jackets, sweaters and down jackets at home, and even took time to go shopping with Qin Zhen.The two of them are similar in stature - Lu Yunqi is slightly taller than Qin Zhen - and they are both standard hangers, so it is very easy to buy clothes. Lu Yunqi is keen to choose various styles of winter clothes for Qin Zhen, waiting for Qin Zhen to try them on. When it was ready, Lu Yunqi asked the waiter to take two pieces and went to the cashier to check out when he thought it was appropriate.

In mid-December, Qin Zhen received a call from Qian Ning, asking when he and Lu Yunqi would be free.

"How about New Year's Day? It's a statutory holiday, and everyone else should be free too." Channing's tone was brisk, and he sounded very excited.

"Not on New Year's Day, he has to prepare for the exam at the end of the semester." After Qin Zhen answered, he remembered and asked, "What, what's the matter?"

"Hey!" Qian Ning smiled obscenely, which made Qin Zhen get goosebumps. "Sun Jing and I are getting married!"

Ever since Qian Ning accidentally blurted out the word "marriage proposal" at Zhao Qian's house in November, the text has disappeared. Qin Zhen, Zhao Qian and others have asked him insincerely several times, but they are always surrounded by him. Let's open the topic, and later everyone saw that he really didn't want to talk, so they didn't ask any more questions.After a month, he suddenly heard that he was going to get married, and Qin Zhen couldn't react for a while.

"What?" He subconsciously asked back, and immediately after recovering, he asked, "Sun Jing promised you?! Has it really been decided?! When do you want to get the certificate? Where do you plan to hold the wine?"

"Does he dare to agree?!" Qian Ning's tone was full of complacency, "The certificate has been obtained! My mother said that we will go back to the county to hold a wine, and it will probably not be until around the Chinese New Year, so I asked you what I'm free, and I want to treat you to a meal before going back to the county."

"Congratulations!" Qin Zhen said with a smile, "But you should find a time before New Year's Day. After New Year's Day, it will be the exam week for University A. The time before New Year's Day and after January [-]th are both OK, you can choose whatever you want."

"Okay," Qian Ning replied, "I'll ask Zhao Qian and the others, and I'll call you when it's settled!"

Lu Yunqi took back the clothes that were drying outside, and seeing Qin Zhen hang up the phone with a smile, he casually asked, "What's wrong?"

Qin Zhen put the phone aside and took the clothes in his hand: "Oh, Qian Ning and Sun Jing just received their certificates and said they would invite everyone to dinner sometime."

"Eh?" Lu Yunqi was a little surprised, then smiled, "Really? When? Don't you plan to have a drink?"

Qin Zhen replied while folding the clothes: "The time has not been set yet. He said he would call us when it is fixed. The wine will have to wait until around the Chinese New Year. He said he would go back to the county to do it."

"That's it..." Lu Yunqi somehow remembered something, and the movements of his hands slowed down.

Will you go home with me this year for the New Year?Qin Zhen looked at him quietly, almost blurting out the words in his mind, but in the end he choked him back.In the past few years, Lu Yunqi's parents stayed in other places all the year round, and they didn't see them a few times throughout the year. New Year's Eve was a rare day for their family to get together. He couldn't take Lu Yunqi away from his parents because of his own selfishness.Qin Zhen also has her own parents to accompany her, so in previous years, the two of them would go home and celebrate the New Year separately.

Maybe they can also take turns like Zheng Kai and Mi Bai did?Or like Du Lin and Qi Lan, who accompany one parent's parents after the New Year's Eve, and rush to another person's house on the first day of the new year?Thinking this way, Qin Zhen didn't speak immediately, Lu Yunqi seemed to have gotten used to this kind of life, Qin Zhen couldn't make up his mind.

Let's wait for a while!Thinking this way, Qin Zhen put this matter back in her heart.

In the end, Qian Ning and Sun Jing set the time on Christmas Eve, where they lived on the second floor of the bar. When Mi Bai saw Qian Ning bringing out the dishes from the kitchen, he leaned over in surprise, "This is you." Did you do it?" After speaking, he looked around the kitchen, hoping to see a Sun Jinglai from inside.

But Sun Jing was sitting in the living room "to accompany the guests", not in the kitchen.

Qian Ning was in a very good mood today, and he just "hummed" slightly when he was suspicious of Mi Bai, and went straight to the dining table and put the plate in his hand on the table: "What? Is it strange that I know how to cook?"

Mi Bai exaggeratedly said: "It's not just strange, it's like the sun comes out from the west, okay?"

Channing glanced at him, didn't bother to argue with him, and went back to the kitchen to continue working.

During dinner at night, everyone stared at Qian Ning to drink, and Qian Ning would not refuse anyone who came. He drank most of the bottle of white wine by himself, his face was flushed, and his eyes were blurred.Sun Jing, who had always been protecting Qian Ning, unexpectedly ignored him this time. He just sat aside and watched him drink one glass after another. down.Seeing that Qian Ning was already drunk to death, the others felt that the trouble was almost over, so they stopped pushing and left after eating.

Lu Yunqi and Qin Zhen both drank, but they were still very sober, but the car still stopped at the entrance of the bar and did not move. The two rejected Zheng Kai's proposal to ask someone to take them back, and walked slowly towards the nearby subway station holding hands .

Both sides of the bustling street are filled with Christmas lights, the streets are bustling with people coming and going, billboards of various promotions and discounts are overwhelming, and even a small juice shop on the roadside has a sign saying "Shuangdan Promotion" : Half price for the second cup in the whole store" poster.Qin Zhen bought two glasses of fresh orange juice, handed one to Lu Yunqi, took one in his hand and drank it slowly, and just finished drinking it when he walked to the entrance of the subway station, just as he threw the empty glass into the trash can, Lu Yunqi stretched out his hand.

Because he had been holding the orange juice before, Qin Zhen's palm was a little cold, but Lu Yunqi's palm was hot, making Qin Zhen's hand shrink back reflexively.

"Why are your hands so cold..." Lu Yunqi whispered, let go of the hand they were holding, wrapped Qin Zhen's slightly frozen hand with both hands, rubbed it back and forth a few times, and then Qin Zhen changed positions, took Qin Zhen's cold hand and put it into his windbreaker pocket.

"Hurry up and put that hand in your pocket, don't catch a cold." Seeing that Qin Zhen's other hand was still hanging outside, Lu Yunqi said worriedly again.

Qin Zhen obediently put her hands in her jacket pocket, and smiled at him: "Well... Merry Christmas."

Lu Yunqi also smiled and said, "Merry Christmas!"

Not long after Christmas came New Year's Day, and after the end of New Year's Day, Lu Yunqi ushered in the first final exam week after enrolling in graduate school.Qin Zhen had already prepared the final papers of the several courses he taught, and he was very free at this time. Lu Yunqi studied by himself in his office every day, and he seemed a little nervous.

"Not confident?" Qin Zhen couldn't help asking when he saw that he was grasping the time very tightly.

Lu Yunqi|Nodded and shook his head: "No... just want to get a good grade in the exam."

The exams for several courses taught by Qin Zhen were scheduled for the first two days of the exam week. After that, Lu Yunqi had two exams for compulsory courses. Qin Zhen stayed with him in the office while correcting the papers.Qin Zhen's efficiency is very high. Before the end of the exam week, he finished correcting the papers and registered the scores on the educational affairs website. After all Lu Yunqi's exams were over, the two packed up their things and planned to go home to the world of two— — After all, the school’s winter vacation is early, and there is still a long time before the Chinese New Year, so neither of them has to rush to their parents.

"Oh, by the way, come with me to the dean's office later!" Qin Zhen saw a piece of material thrown aside by himself, and then remembered that there was still something to be done, "I will send this material over .”

Of course, Lu Yunqi had no objection. After locking the office door, the two chatted and walked towards the dean's office. When they arrived at the door of the dean's office, the door of the office was closed tightly, and there were faint voices coming from inside.

Qin Zhen stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the door opened after a while.The person who opened the door was a student. As soon as he opened the door, he lifted his foot and left without looking sideways. Qin Zhen felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.He didn't care, and went straight to the dean's desk, and handed over the materials in his hand: "Dean, I have finished the materials you asked for earlier."

The dean didn't seem to expect him to be the one who came. He was taken aback for a moment, then took the material and put it aside, and said after deliberating, "Xiao Qin, did classmate Xiao Lu... come with you?"

Lu Yunqi did not enter the door, but stood at the door and waited. Qin Zhen was a little strange when he heard the dean's question, but he nodded: "He is outside. What's wrong?"

The dean sighed: "Call him in!"

Qin Zhen nodded because he didn't understand, walked to the door of the office and brought Lu Yunqi in.

Lu Yunqi followed Qin Zhen into the dean's office in a daze: "Dean?"

The dean looked at him standing side by side with Qin Zhen, sighed again, and then explained: "That's right. Someone reported to me that Lu Yunqi had a tricky final grade in an elective course. Qin Zhen, which one are you from?" The teacher in charge of the class, I want to ask your opinion."

"What?" Lu Yunqi couldn't react for a while.

Qin Zhen was also stunned for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses and said rationally: "The mid-term and final test papers, grading standards, and grading basis for each course in the college will be sent to the Academic Affairs Office for review. The video recordings of the exam are also archived, if you think his scores are tricky, you can directly call up these materials to see."

"I know that," the dean nodded, "but the whistleblower thinks that Lu Yunqi's grades are not caused by grades or cheating. He thinks that you leaked the test questions to Lu Yunqi."
