Before dawn, Ni Lu opened his eyes.Pull out the electronic watch from under the pillow and press it to check the time, it is 21:10.Ni Lu didn't go back to sleep, sat up from the bed, made the bed lightly, got out of bed to wash, packed up the textbooks for today's class, and within [-] minutes, he opened the door and walked out of the dormitory with a bag on his back.

In the dormitory, the others were still fast asleep.

I trotted all the way to the South Canteen, it was less than six o'clock.

"Xiaolu is here."

"Ah."

"Let's have breakfast first."

"it is good."

Say hello to other staff in the cafeteria, sit down and eat something casually, wash your hands, wear an apron and gloves and a mask, and start to help.Stir-frying and cooking are not up to him, Ni Lu is only responsible for putting things behind the dining window.

Mantou and steamed buns are taken out of the steaming steamer in a drawer and stacked neatly. The thick milky white rice porridge is divided into bowls, covered and moved outside. The noodle soup that has been stewed all night is lifted, and the whole cafeteria The aroma is strong.

A few minutes before seven o'clock, students have already entered the cafeteria one after another.

Zhang Yucheng got up on time at seven o'clock, put on a loose T-shirt and sweatpants, went downstairs, turned on the treadmill, walked slowly for 10 minutes, and then accelerated for five kilometers. After getting off, he was sweating profusely. When I got out of the bathroom, I came out refreshed.

At [-]:[-], Li Mi was still sleeping on the bed with the quilt sandwiched between them. Xu Jianbai yawned and walked into the bathroom. Hearing the movement, Ji Chen frowned and picked up the phone to check the time. He muttered something and turned over unhappily Close your eyes and go to sleep.Ji Pengyun sat on the bed, rubbing his face vigorously with his hands, trying to wake himself up.

About 5 minutes later, Xu Jianbai came out of the bathroom, followed by Ji Pengyun. Xu Jianbai took a look at Li Mi, who hadn't moved, climbed up and pulled out the sheet between his legs, "If you don't get up, you won't be in time for breakfast!"

Li Mi turned over with difficulty, his eyelids still glued together, and his voice was weak, "Old Xu, help me bring back a bowl of noodles."

Xu Jianbai angrily pinched his half-length hair on his head.

With his eyes closed, the corners of Li Mi's lips curled up slightly, "Old Xu, remember to put it spicy."

Xu Jianbai got down and turned his head to look at Jichen who was also lying on the bed, and asked, "Master, where are you today?"

Jichen's eyes were half-opened lazily, and he raised his hand and handed over a meal card, "Two baskets of steamed buns, one bag of soy milk, and one serving of eight-treasure porridge. I'll treat you to whatever you like."

Xu Jianbai resigned to his fate and doggedly took the meal card, "Master, you have a good rest, the little one will definitely do it."

After speaking, he turned his head and called to the bathroom: "Lao Ji, hurry up, the two masters are still waiting for us to serve you!"

Ji Pengyun didn't dare to delay, and replied with a sharp voice: "Here we come!"

At [-]:[-], Xianxin went downstairs fully dressed, and saw Zhang Yucheng frying eggs in the kitchen, so she couldn't help but quicken her pace, and hugged him from behind.

"Brother Cheng, when did you come back last night? I'll go to bed when you're too sleepy at twelve o'clock."

Zhang Yucheng took the grinding bottle from the shelf, sprinkled it with rose salt, and when the pan was shaken, the golden-fried egg turned over and fell back to the bottom of the pan.

"It's more than one o'clock. Didn't you say you don't have to wait for me? If you're sleepy, go straight to sleep."

Xian Xin hugged his thin and flexible waist with both hands, her cheek was pressed against his back, the corners of her mouth were raised high, "I just want to wait for you."

There was an indistinct smile in Zhang Yucheng's eyes, "Go and sit on the chair first, breakfast will be ready soon."

"Okay." Xianxin obediently responded, but hugged his waist for a long time and was reluctant to let go.

At [-]:[-], Ji Chen, Li Mi, Xu Jianbai, and Ji Pengyun walked into the classroom one after another. Ni Lu put his schoolbag on his back and came out of the South Canteen and ran all the way.

At 27:[-], Ni Lu, who had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, saw Xian Xin in the stairwell.

Xianxin turned her head when she heard footsteps, and when she saw him, she raised the corner of her mouth, "Good morning, classmate Ni Lu."

Ni Lu nodded, "Morning."

Ni Lu: "The mobile phone pendant, I have received it, thank you."

Xian Xin smiled: "You're welcome."

The two entered the classroom one after the other, Xian Xin sat at the front, Ji Chen took the seat reserved for him, and Ni Lu randomly found an empty seat at the back.

As soon as the bell rang, the teacher walked into the classroom.

The day begins.

There was only one class on Monday afternoon, Zhang Yucheng was busy, and he was alone when he went back, so Xianxin accepted Jichen's invitation, went out to eat something with him, and went to the bookstore by the way.

In the bookstore, after seeing Xianxin pull out a book of oil paintings by famous artists, Jichen couldn't help asking: "Xianxin, you have been learning to draw for a long time, I think you like drawing quite a lot, so why do you want to draw?" Come to the School of Architecture to study?"

Xianxin opened the 8-carat heavy coloring book in his hand, raised his head and smiled at Jichen, and then his gaze fell back to the pages in his hand, "My hobby is painting. I used to be unable to do anything when I was in poor health. , Painting is one of the few things that I can do without interruption. I studied architectural design because I wanted to help my family. My family built houses. I couldn’t do it before, but now that I have the ability, I want to Learn it, and it will definitely come in handy in the future.”

It's just that building a house really underestimates the situation of Xianxin's family. As far as Jichen knows, the so-called building of a house in Xianxin's mouth is already hoarding land abroad to build a city.

The real estate company of Xianjia is not only one of the best in China, but definitely not in the top ten. It is well-known at home and abroad.

These Xian Xin did not tell the classmates and roommates, including Ji Chen, it was Ji Chen who figured it out by himself.

Ji Chen would definitely not say it, and he was also afraid that he would cause trouble for Xian Xin.

Jichen's family is in business, and the business is quite large, but not as powerful as Xianxin's.Of course, Jichen's approach to Xianxin is not because of Xianxin's background, but because of something else, some small thoughts that should not be announced.

Ji Chen put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked at Xian Xin, who was half a head shorter than him, at the few strands of hair hanging on his smooth forehead, at his clear eyes half covered by his long and dense eyelashes, I couldn't help thinking: How could there be such a good-looking person.

It doesn't matter the gender, it's just beautiful.

Ji Chen just looked at him and said, "What you want to do will definitely succeed, you have the talent in this area."

Xianxin raised her head again, and rolled her eyes at Jichen with a smile.

"Thanks, you too."

Ji Chen was a little taken aback.

After visiting the bookstore for half an hour, Xian Xin's cell phone rang.

"Mother?"

"Yes, I'm not at school now. In the bookstore, with my classmates."

"Okay, I see, let the driver come and pick me up."

After hanging up the phone, Xianxin said to Jichen: "Sorry, Jichen, I can't go shopping with you. I have something to do at home, the driver will pick me up in a while, I have to go back."

"It's okay." Ji Chen looked indifferent, "We can make an appointment next time."

Xian Xin said: "This time it's your treat, then I'll treat you to dinner next time."

Jichen couldn't wait for it, but he didn't show it on his face, "It's ok, make an appointment then."

Xian Xin nodded, "Okay."

After more than 20 minutes, Xianxin got in the car that picked him up and left. Jichen returned to the bookstore, took the books that Xianxin had read but didn't buy one by one from the shelf, and took them to the counter to pay.

Sitting on the back seat of the car, Xianxin thought of something, picked up her phone and sent Zhang Yucheng a text message: Brother Cheng, I won't be at home for dinner tonight, my mother told me to go back to have dinner, and may not come back to sleep at night.

When Zhang Yucheng was finally willing to sit up straight in front of the computer in the school's research institute, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. I don't know when the takeaway from the senior sister who was in the same research institute was already cold. When you touch it, the temperature of the drink is close to room temperature.

Zhang Yucheng didn't feel disgusted at all. He picked up the takeaway, went to an empty table outside, sat down and opened it, opened the disposable chopsticks, picked up a chopsticks of shredded potatoes and put it in his mouth. Read messages and calls.

There are quite a few, some from the student union, some from classmates and friends, and some from Xianxin.

Zhang Yucheng was the first to read the text message from Xian Xin, and after reading it, he replied: Got it.

Only after that do I start returning messages or calls from other people.

The colder and greasy fast food Zhang Yucheng couldn’t eat half of it, he packed it up and threw it in the trash can, and didn’t return to the computer. After saying hello to his partners in the same project team, he left the research institute and went to the student union to deal with other things .

At half past five in the afternoon and almost six o'clock in the afternoon, the setting sun turned into a yellow circle hanging in the air, and the golden sunlight poured into the room from the window.Another month will be the school anniversary, and the student union will have a lot to do at this time.Overall planning, setting up the venue, soliciting sponsorship, cost direction, program arrangement, contacting the heads of each class, etc., the cadres of various departments gathered together to discuss matters of the school celebration, and they talked about the present without knowing it.

The conversation was almost over, and it was getting late, Zhang Yucheng, the chairman of the student union, gave an order: the meeting was dismissed.

So all the student union cadres went back to their homes to find their mothers.

Just as Zhang Yucheng walked out of the conference room, Lin Qingyi, the director of the office, stopped him holding a pile of application forms, "Chairman Zhang, wait, these are collected from the counselors of various departments, and they are the bursaries and student loans for our school students next year." The application form, you have time to look at it these few days, if there is no problem, stamp it and hand it in."

Zhang Yucheng took the application form she handed over, and at the same time took out his mobile phone to check the time, "I'll go back to the office to check later."

"Don't be in a hurry, there are still a few days left." Lin Qingyi raised her hand and lightly brushed her long hair draped over her shoulders, and said with a smile, "You always don't eat on time like this, and let those who admire you It hurts so much for those who know."

Zhang Yucheng flipped through the thick stack of application forms, and said disapprovingly, "That's all, I can finish it in half an hour."

Lin Qingyi couldn't help covering her chest, with a distressed expression on her face, "No, I can't be sorry to my boyfriend, and I can't just move on because Chairman Zhang, you are more handsome than him, smarter than him, and richer than him. !"

Zhang Yucheng was not poor with her, he walked towards his own office holding the stack of application forms with his knuckle fingers.

There are two application forms, one for the grant application and the other for the student loan application.Both applications need to be reviewed in various aspects. The former is more troublesome and more demanding than the latter. The student’s family must be relatively poor, and there are relatively high requirements for the student’s moral character and academic performance.

Basically, if it can be handed in by the counselors of each department, the initial review is almost passed, and the student union is just a formality, but without the test of the student union, the application cannot be passed.

Zhang Yucheng looked at the bursary application first, and he quickly flipped through it first.It seemed that he casually scanned the application form with his eyes.Not long after, his fingers that were flipping through the paper suddenly paused, and he tapped on an application form before pulling it out.

The application form has a photo, name, details of the student, address, and reasons for applying. There are no provocative or tear-jerking words, but a plain statement of his own situation.

Ni Lu.

A stranger whom I have met several times.

Zhang Yucheng looked at it carefully, but didn't see any problem with it. Just as he was about to put it back, his cell phone on the table rang.
