Self-cultivation of spare tire

In the first few months of entering Harvard, Chen Zhu was very busy and dizzy.

University classes are completely different from high school classes, especially the classes of some old professors. Students need to be extremely sharp in their thinking, so that they can analyze the core from the content that the professor cuts down.

And laying a solid foundation after class, answering doubts, all rely on yourself.

In this way, Chen Zhu works at three o'clock and one line every day, busy but full.

Immersed in the vast and majestic ocean of knowledge, he tried his best to absorb nutrients, and moved forward step by step along the road of scientific and technological innovation.

"Brother, I'm still waiting for you at the cafe of your school." Ye Xi would come over on time every weekend afternoon to ask Chen Zhu for help with tutoring.

Chen Zhu originally planned to find another job, but fortunately, Ye Xi's study attitude was very correct, and his academic performance gradually improved.

He was too busy to find time to find an intermediary, so he helped Ye Xi with tutoring every weekend to earn some living expenses.

When Chen Zhu arrived, Ye Xi had already ordered two cups of coffee, and was lowering his head to check the homework that Chen Zhu had left for him in the previous class.

"Brother!" Ye Xi saw Chen Zhu in the crowd at a glance, his eyes lit up immediately, he waved his hand, and happily gave up his seat to Chen Zhu.

"This time the topic is so difficult." Ye Xi frowned, looking at Chen Zhu cautiously, "Brother, if I make a mistake, don't be angry."

"En." Chen Zhu stopped talking nonsense, and started grading his homework directly.

Ye Xi looked at Chen Zhu's slightly frowned eyebrows, and pursed his lips.

He wasn't nervous because Chen Zhu corrected his homework, but... Chen Zhu's state had lasted for several months.

It's not that Ye Xi has never seen Chen Zhu working hard, but at that time, no matter how busy and tired Chen Zhu was, he would ride a small bicycle and enjoy the sea breeze.

Or buy a glass of watermelon juice to add a little sweetness to the bitter life.

But the current Chen Zhu...Ye Xi couldn't tell what was wrong, but he intuitively felt that something was wrong with Chen Zhu's state.

Ye Xi pinched the coffee cup, his thoughts were mixed.

"It's not bad." Chen Zhu pointed out Ye Xi's weaknesses concisely, "However, your writing logic still needs a lot of practice."

"Okay." Ye Xi nodded obediently, but his eyes stayed on Chen Zhu's slightly frowning brows.

Chen Zhu, why are you unhappy?

Ye Xi pressed his pen and listened to Chen Zhu giving him a lecture.

Chen Zhu's voice was naturally cold, but his tone of voice was indeed the gentlest.

However, recently, Ye Xi found that the tenderness hidden under the coldness seemed to be less and less.

Chen Zhu's smile disappeared at some point, replaced by an indifference in which he buried his head in the sea of ​​books and didn't care about everything.

Brother, what's the matter with you... Ye Xi blinked, his eyes sneaked from the test paper to Chen Zhu's cheek.

Without raising his head, Chen Zhu tapped on the table lightly, "Concentrate."

"Yes! Concentrate!" After Ye Xi finished speaking, he realized that he was talking nonsense, and immediately covered his mouth, blinking his eyes and looking at Chen Zhu.

"I'm sorry I didn't distract myself on purpose." Ye Xi's voice was muffled.

He finally realized that Chen Zhu was too focused on everything.

It takes hours to read a book without raising your eyes, and it takes a day to solve a problem. Sometimes, I even forget to eat.

Chen Zhu is like a machine running at high speed, every gear is turning rapidly, pushing him forward without stopping.

He never stopped for a moment, as if if he stopped, he would be caught by something.

So Chen Zhu worked day and night, never resting, and did not dare to rest.

Ye Xi finished class sullenly, and said goodbye to Chen Zhu reluctantly.

"Brother, you have to remember to eat on time." Ye Xi waved his hand at him with lonely eyes.

When will he be able to comfort his brother with a hug?It's not like now, even a greeting, you have to think twice before daring to say it.

"I will study hard." Ye Xi tried his best to smile and made a cheering gesture.He had to work harder, he had to stand beside Chen Zhu quickly and protect him well.

After finishing tutoring for Ye Xi, Chen Zhu suddenly got idle.

He took a few sips of coffee, but didn't dare to drink more, for fear that he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

Just when Chen Zhu was planning to go to the library to spend the whole afternoon, Shen Qingqu sent a message asking him to have dinner with him.

Remembering that he had rejected the other party too many times, Chen Zhu hesitated for a moment, but agreed.

And judging from the wording in Shen Qingqu's words, Chen Zhu had a faint feeling that this meal might not be that simple.

Nothing can be broken.Chen Zhu packed his schoolbag, it would be best for Shen Qingqu to be his friend, as for more, he really couldn't give it.

The restaurant is a Chinese restaurant outside the school gate, and many Chinese international students come to eat on weekends when they are free.

When Chen Zhu arrived, it was meal time, and the restaurant was very lively.

Shen Qingqu wore a slim-fitting shirt today, with a delicate brooch pinned to the neckline. He took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, his long eyes were not covered, and under the light, his eyes were clean and bright.

In fact, from Shen Qingqu's body, Chen Zhu could more or less see his own shadow.

They are like-minded, equally sincere, and also strive for their ideals.

If he could become friends with someone like Shen Qingqu, Chen Zhu would be very willing.

But Shen Qingqu took out a bouquet of flowers from behind.

A delicate fiery red rose.

Shen Qingqu knew how to measure, so he didn't exaggerately bought a large bunch to embarrass Chen Zhu.

"A small meeting gift." Shen Qingqu smiled, "When I passed by the back campus today, I saw a little girl selling flowers, so I bought one."

Passing by, smoothly, coincidentally, Shen Qingqu's every word is properly measured.In order not to embarrass Chen Zhu, the man was cautious and meticulous in every word and deed.

"Thank you." Chen Zhu took the flowers, thought for a while, took out a newly bought pen from his schoolbag, and gave it back to the man.

Shen Qingqu's slender and fair fingers brushed the brush slowly. He lowered his head and said with a smile, "Reciprocity is a courtesy? Chen Zhu, you really don't want to owe favors at all."

"What do you want to eat?" Chen Zhu flipped through the menu, "Let me treat you." Shen Qingqu helped him a lot, and he always wanted to treat him to a meal.

Shen Qingqu: "I've already arranged dinner." He put the pen given by Chen Zhu in his pocket.

The restaurant was full of people, and Shen Qingqu felt it was a bit noisy, but he knew that Chen Zhu liked such a place with fireworks.

Therefore, compared to quiet western restaurants and flashy candlelight dinners, Shen Qingqu still chose lively restaurants.

Although, it is inevitable to be a little embarrassed to confess in such a noisy place.

But Shen Qingqu still gave the waiter a wink when the food was served.

The waiter gave a low laugh and walked to Chen Zhu, "Hello, sir, the chef who came to our store recently is from Guizhou, I hope you like today's dishes."

Guizhou people?Chen Zhu looked at the familiar dishes on the table and smiled, "Really." He tasted the tamales, and the taste was quite authentic.

"Do you like it?" Shen Qingqu lowered his eyes and looked at him.

"Yeah. It's been a long time since I ate such an authentic hometown dish." Chen Zhu smiled, "You should try it too."

Shen Qingqu is not very good at spicy food, but he still tasted a few mouthfuls.

Looking at the person whose lips were so hot that their lips turned red, Chen Zhu was a little embarrassed, "I forgot, you don't like spicy food."

"No." Shen Qingqu wiped his mouth, still looking at Chen Zhu tenderly, "I like it."

He said slowly: "It's just that everything will have a process. I think, I will get used to it in the future—"

"Senior." Chen Zhu knew what Shen Qingqu wanted to say, "Sorry."

Shen Qingqu was stunned for a moment, and then understood.He naturally knew that Chen Zhu would not agree to him easily, and he had the patience to wait.

Since Chen Zhu was not ready yet, Shen Qingqu didn't say much.

But Chen Zhu frowned in a rare way and remained silent for a long time.

"It's okay, Chen Zhu." Shen Qingqu said, "I'm willing to wait."

"But I don't want to." Chen Zhu still frowned.

He closed his eyes, and in front of his eyes were Xu Lanting's red and tearful eyes...

Xu Lanting was a man with poison hidden in his heart and liver. His tears, his suppressed crying, and the despairing eyes that day were all colorless and tasteless poison, slowly eroding Chen Zhu.

The man did exactly as Chen Zhu wished, and disappeared completely from his world.

He appeared with vigor and vigor, and left the scene with vigor and vigor.

Fortunately, Xu Lanting seemed to have no intention of pestering Chen Zhu any more, and disappeared completely as Chen Zhu wished.

But Xu Lanting is so ruthless, even if he wants to leave the stage, he is not willing to be unknown.

He would rather Chen Zhu hate him than to leave a momentary mark on Chen Zhu's heart domineeringly.

"Senior." Chen Zhu looked at Shen Qingqu in some confusion, "I..." He paused and just sighed.

No matter in the past or now, Xu Lanting's presence is too strong.The man's strength, enthusiasm, domineering and unreasonable behavior in Chen Zhu's life.

"It's okay." Shen Qingqu said patiently, "Time will heal everything." He looked at Chen Zhu's drooping eyebrows and said slowly, "No matter how deep the injury is, won't it all heal?"

What Shen Qingqu said, Chen Zhu smiled wryly, Xu Lanting is indeed Xu Lanting, even if he leaves the stage, he will be reconciled if he is disturbed.

Chen Zhu sighed and said with a smile, "That's right."

He knew that he had survived the storm two years ago, but now, it was just a small wave, and his heart would eventually calm down.

It's just that he doesn't like the feeling of being influenced by others like this.

What Chen Zhu needs is rationality and calmness. He does not allow anyone to disturb his thoughts.

Therefore, Chen Zhu simply arranged every minute and every second of himself to the fullest.

As long as you keep running forward, those dark and complicated thoughts can be left behind.

Chen Zhu just wants to calm down...

Quiet... The hotel was suddenly quiet for a moment, the domestic news was broadcast on the TV, and the host's voice came into Chen Zhu's ears clearly.

"Recently, Xu Yonglian, the former manager of the Xu family, was released after serving his sentence. Xu Yonglian returned to the Xu family after he was released from prison—"

Xu Yonglian did not accept the reporter's interview, but when he passed by the media, he glanced slightly at the camera with a sinister look.

Chen Zhu counted the time and found that Xu Yonglian had been released from prison for nearly a month.

And within this month, Xu's company was in constant turmoil, and the company was also in turmoil.

"Xu Yonglian seems to have turned against the president of the Xu Corporation, and soon after Xu Yonglian was released from prison, he initiated a lawsuit against Xu Lanting..."

Chen Zhu frowned when he heard that.

With Xu Lanting's temperament, Xu Yonglian should have been pressed to death the moment he was released from prison, let alone let Xu Yonglian join the company.

But now that the public opinion has fermented to such a point, Xu Lanting has not moved at all.

There are already people talking around, "The family can still kill each other like this, it is worthy of being a wealthy family.", "Don't you know? Xu Yonglian was sent to prison by Xu Lanting himself.", "Really?"

"This kind of grievance among wealthy families is really too complicated. I don't know how Xu Lanting has secured the position of president these years."

There were noisy voices in his ear, Chen Zhu frowned, and continued to watch the report on TV.

However, the media didn't know much about the disputes within the Xu family, they just concluded that "Xu Lanting used illegal means to conduct commercial competition."

Illegal means, commercial competition... For some reason, Chen Zhu suddenly remembered the words he blurted out that night in order to distance himself from Xu Lanting.

His accusations against Xu Lanting are all facts. The man is indeed unscrupulous and wandering on the boundary line of the law.

"You are a scumbag", "Do you think I, Chen Zhu, would want a scumbag?"

Chen Zhu deliberately didn't look at Xu Lanting's eyes at that time, but he still remembered Xu Lanting's hoarse voice.

"If I can wash away all my sins..."

Bang——The porcelain cup in Chen Zhu's hand was accidentally knocked over by him, and the water splashed all over the table, dripping on Chen Zhu's wrist.

Chen Zhu retracted his hand, the water drops fell on his wrist, and it felt like the man's tears that day...

enough.

Chen Zhu got up suddenly, hurriedly communicated with Shen Qing, and rushed out of the restaurant.

The night wind howled, Chen Zhu stood at the wind, the sound of the wind in his ears became blurred, and Xu Lanting's decisive voice echoed clearly in his mind.

"Azhu, don't be afraid.", "Go forward, don't look back"

Chen Zhu took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and suppressed something.

However, memories are like a broken dam, surging, creating waves in Chen Zhu's mind.

In fact, Chen Zhu remembered the momentary amnesia when he was drunk that day.

He remembered a cabinet of candied haws in Xu Lanting's house; he remembered the back of Xu Lanting rolling up his sleeves and making soup for him;

Chen Zhu remembered Xu Lanting's offense that night, and also remembered that the man carried him steadily on his back in the snowstorm and walked a long, long way.

The man's shoulders are very broad, and he looks like a frivolous person, but he walks very steadily.

Chen Zhu lay on his shoulder, listening to the whistling wind and snow, but was not disturbed by the slightest chill.He was carried tightly by Xu Lanting, who was wrapped in Xu Lanting's thick coat.

Temperature, smell, breathing... Chen Zhu remembers them all clearly.

He even remembered that Xu Lanting was holding his hand like a rascal, writing on the misty window.

"Xu Lanting loves Chen Zhu." Xu Lanting took Chen Zhu's hand and pressed it on it.

Xu Lanting was afraid that Chen Zhu would be frozen, so he just asked him to draw a crooked love heart on it.

"Chen Zhu also loves Xu Lanting, right?" Xu Lanting deliberately led Chen Zhu to talk with a hint of evil.

When Chen Zhu wanted to sleep, he shook him lightly and asked repeatedly, "Chen Zhu also loves Xu Lanting, right, huh?"

Finally, Chen Zhu snorted impatiently, and Xu Lanting laughed.

The man deceived himself and took Chen Zhu's response as a treasure into his heart.

"Brother loves you too, baby."

Chen Zhu, remember everything.He remembered the mischief and entanglement that night...

And in the snowy night, Xu Lanting sighed lonely.

"Zhu'er, brother really loves you." Xu Lanting breathed out a mouthful of white mist, knocked Chen Zhu up, and rubbed the tip of his nose against his cheek.

"What should I do, Ah Zhu..."
