Stand by

When Pei Lu came back from the phone call, Fang Xu and Liang Fan winked at Ye Yi and both excused themselves to dance away.

He and Pei Lu were the only ones left at the bar counter filled with cups of various colors.

The bright yellow light hit the straight nose bridge and thin lips of the other party, his heart beat faster and faster, and he couldn't help leaning over.

Asked some difficult questions about life and experiments abroad.

Pei Lu has a strong sense of territory, and he doesn't like others to ask too much about his personal affairs. He answers politely but briefly, and only talks a few words when it comes to professional matters.

But the detached and restrained tone still betrayed his lack of interest.

In terms of professionalism, the spark of communication can only be sparked between colleagues of the same level.

Talking with Ye Yi, if you talk about it deeply, the other party can't understand it, but if you talk about it shallowly, he feels bored and impatient.

Ye Yi talked too much, and Pei Lu didn't want to go to the dance floor to have sex with strange men and women, so he simply looked at his phone.

It was very lively on cocal tonight, and a series of messages popped up in the chat room.

Cocal is a forum registered with an overseas server. During the summer camp of the TUB International Joint Competition four years ago, the finalists were like-minded and deeply attached to each other, and they were reluctant to leave. Someone established this forum for future contact and communication.

As the champion of that competition, Pei Lu never made a sound in the chat room, and he was always invisible all the year round. It is estimated that everyone has almost forgotten Pei, the unassailable king who scored the most points in each game at that time.

However, the Chinese name he used when he participated in the summer camp was not Pei Lu. At that time, he still had the surname of his mother who was a director of the International Biological Organization. After his parents divorced, he changed his name back to Pei Lu.

Pei Lu has very little time for entertainment, but occasionally he will click in to take a look. Compared with the busy schedule that is accurate to the minute, it is still more comfortable to be a full-time student at that time, as long as you plunge into the experiment, you don't have to think about anything.

In a sense, Cocal can be regarded as a spiritual home for him to take a short break.

What he failed to do, there are still people doing it, many people are doing it.

Everyone comes from all corners of the country, studying, working, and researching in different universities in different countries, leading different lives, colorful and lively. These colleagues scattered all over the world always have a lot to say, except for laughing and playing. Talking about my current situation, there are also many viewpoints with high academic value colliding and exchanging.

At this moment, the chat room is in full swing.

The person who asked for leave in the afternoon and said that he had something to do in the evening was the most active one.

Someone asked in the chat room who had done the situation analysis of the two-way diversion experiment, whether there was a template, etc. Jiang Xing sent a bunch of reports he had done before, and several gigabytes of related extended documents immediately filled the entire area. Screen.

I also mentioned some details that need to be paid attention to in this type of experimental analysis report by the way, hoping to help the student who asked the question.

There were so many enthusiastic words that he was not at all like the expressionless young man with slightly pursed lips in the laboratory today.

Pei Lu raised his eyebrows and swipe his fingers down, curious to see how the other party will perform the two real faces online.

Many people in the chat room received and downloaded the file at the first time, and a bunch of people knelt down to worship the boss, and some people sent red envelopes with the words "tomylittlecuteyxingxing" on it

There was booing from below.

"Mike started sending ** again to take the opportunity to confess that I'm awake."

"Wake up is still young, mother won't let me."

Jiang Xing is indeed a very typical "social butterfly online, social fear offline", and he quickly typed a series of "hahahahahaha".The backhand is a Teletubbies emoji, the red one, shaking its head and wagging its hands awkwardly.

It was hard for Pei Lu to imagine the cold Jiang Xing himself making such a move.

Jiang Xing didn't accept the red envelopes, but said that they were all academic exchanges, to exchange information, please don't be so polite, he also thanked all the seniors and sisters for taking care of him back then.

Four years ago, Jiang Xing was a freshman. He started school early and even skipped a grade. He was younger than his peers, but he was talented and intelligent.

But no matter how talented he is, the freshman's knowledge system structure has not been fully established, and it has not touched the depth of the profession, which made him unable to keep up in the later competition training.

It's a race camp, and he's out of camp.

Probably because there is no direct competitive relationship, and he is not a threat. The other contestants saw him as the youngest, and he was born beautiful. He generously and selflessly shared a lot of competition experience. During that time, Jiang Xing grew up rapidly and learned a lot in this competition. The way of thinking and practical skills and experience cannot be learned in four years of university in his country.

Although Jiang Xing was eliminated in the first game after reaching the finals, he is always grateful to this group of comrades who are both opponents and friends, and he misses the time when he went to class together, trained together, lived together and competed together.

Therefore, if anyone in this group has any problems and needs any literature resources, he will not be silent if he can help.

Pei Lu saw a real-time area display. People in the UK asked who would be doing the online simulation later, and Jiang Xing was the first to respond.

A few minutes later, another girl who seemed to be studying in Australia said she would join, and then everyone dispersed.

Jiang Xing stayed up too late doing the online simulation last night, and couldn't help yawning when he arrived in the laboratory in the morning. The smooth wall of the Erlenmeyer flask clearly reflected the faint blue and black eye circles under his eyes, and the thin-rimmed glasses did not block them at all. effect.

When he was yawning, the newly appointed manager just walked in. He felt that the other manager glanced at him, probably wanting to remind him to focus on work.

Jiang Xing didn't look up despite the unclear gaze and invisible scrutiny. Fortunately, the other party walked into the office without saying anything.

Jiang Xing was efficient and could withdraw early, but thought that he would have to settle in the cafeteria for lunch later, so he stayed in the laboratory until noon after school.

It wouldn't be boring to have the mystery novel he was reading recently in the drawer.

He didn't want to fight for the cafeteria with a group of rambunctious undergraduates, and waited until the lunch rush hour before slowly wandering out of the teaching building.

The sun is warm and the wind blows through the green waves.

Jiang Xing opened the umbrella, and someone behind him called his name.

"Didn't you bring your skateboard today?" Yang Xi crawled under his solo umbrella.

Jiang Xing raised his head and squinted his eyes, like a lazy cat complaining about the bad weather: "The sun is too big."

Yang Xi is from the same village.

Jiang Xing, a fellow countryman who went to university, only went there once. He couldn't learn how to socialize at the wine table, and only Yang Xi, who had a bold personality, took the initiative to add him on WeChat.

Jiang Xing thought, probably because he is the only one in the Provincial Association who is from the same city as the other party, and the regional geography is still closer than others.

Yang Xi knew that the other party would not speak unless she took the initiative to raise the topic, so she was used to it: "Where did you go? Have you eaten yet?"

Jiang Xing tilted his head, propped the too small single umbrella towards the girl, and let the blazing sun climb onto the fair skin of his arm.

Yang Xi envied him that he couldn't get a tan.

"Not yet, go to the cafeteria."

Yang Xi said: "Let's go together, which cafeteria do you want to go to?" For some reason, Jiang Xing has an air of accommodating him unconsciously.

"It's all fine." Jiang woke up and realized that the girl was holding a small stack of professional books in her hand, and said dryly, "You can share some of your books with me."

Yang Xi was not polite to him either: "Okay."

She majored in news media and minored in law at the same time. She got two undergraduate degrees. Remembering that Jiang Xing called her some time ago to ask herself about the way to defend her rights in her works, she asked concerned: "What happened to the last time you asked me?"

Jiang Xing paused, opened his mouth, met the other party's earnest and caring gaze, and for a moment didn't know what to say, and suddenly felt ashamed and embarrassed.

At the beginning, it was the fellow who actively informed him of the methods and channels for appealing for judgment, and took time out of the gap between the double pressure of mid-term exams and thesis random checks to help him sort out third-party online registration applications, electronic format adjustments, and submission of evidence lists. A series of very trivial and troublesome procedures.

And he has been procrastinating until now and has not resolved this matter, which is really unreasonable.

He is very useless, and everyone has helped him to this point.

Jiang Xing pondered for a while, but still told the other party the truth.

Yang Xi frowned, just as she was about to speak, several tall and long-legged boys walked up to her, and one of them called Jiang Xing's name.

Jiang Xing couldn't pretend he didn't see it, so he squinted his eyes for a brief glance, and when he got close to the distance where he had to face each other, he nodded slightly, quite stiffly.

It's a brother he met in an event when he was an undergraduate. If the other party wasn't so eloquent and familiar with him, he really didn't have much impression

Wei Yan raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Tsk, don't you remember me?"

"No," Jiang Xing lowered the umbrella a little: "I can't see clearly without glasses."

What he said was the truth, moderate myopia does not wear glasses, there is no distinction between men and women beyond two meters, and no distinction between humans and animals beyond five meters.

Pei Lujing, who was standing among several people, realized after he spoke that the young man's eyes were a little distracted, showing a kind of confused childishness without knowing it, which contrasted with his indifferent expression.

This was the first time he looked at Jiang Xing seriously after four years. The first day he went to the laboratory was not counted, because the other party was doing the experiment very seriously, and kept his head down so that he couldn't see his face.

Jiang Xing's appearance has a very strong bookish look. When people see such a gentle combination of facial features at first sight, what immediately comes to mind is not just the universal but general words of "beautiful" and "good-looking". It is not an adjective, but it is associated with something very specific, such as a white jade bead, a stack of rice paper as thin as a cicada's wing, and the like.

However, his tight expression and neat operation on the laboratory bench added a bit of sharpness and crispness that belonged to science students to his overly gentle and delicate appearance.

Jiang Xing's gaze didn't focus on him from the beginning to the end, and he didn't know if he didn't recognize his new boss or was short-sighted.

Wei Yan looked at the two in front of him and smiled meaningfully: "Girlfriend?"

Jiang Xing frowned, feeling that it was very presumptuous of him to ask in front of a few people he didn't know, oh no, it was offensive, so he said indifferently and perfunctorily: "Friend." Then he touched Yang Xi's elbow with his elbow: "Let's go .”

Looking at the backs of a pair of Bi people, one of them laughed and said, "Wei Yan is blind again~ Most of the good-looking juniors are not enough to hurt you."

Wei Yan smiled maliciously, turned around and said to them: "Hey! You don't know how funny this little junior is. He looks like a hamster with a puffy face all day long, so funny."

"Don't send *, people don't want to talk to you at all, okay?"

Pei Lu, who had been silent all this time, asked Wei Yan, "Your junior brother?"

Seeing his expression, Wei Yan was taken aback for a moment: "Huh? Oh, it's not directly related, we worked on projects together before."

Pei Lu nodded, his eyes were light and calm, and his tone was also light: "Then don't tease him from now on."

"?"

"Now it's my senior brother."

"..."

After Yang Xi walked away, she turned her head to look at those people: "Are all of them from your hospital?"

Jiang Xing was so weak from the sun: "I don't know."

"..., didn't he just call you Junior Brother?"

Jiang Xing was always arrogant, and twitched the corner of his mouth sarcastically: "Not everyone can be my senior brother."

Especially those who selfishly favor and cover up plagiarism, virtue is not worthy.

Yang Xi sighed: "Hey, the one in the middle just now is so handsome. His face, figure, and temperament are absolutely amazing. I remember that the grass in your academy doesn't look like this."

Jiang Xing paused, Yang Xi turned around and saw that his eyes were a little dark: "Really?"

Yang Xi was taken aback, and just about to say "It's not bad", when Jiang Xing said calmly, "He's the one who rejected my application for the second time."

Yang Xi was dumbfounded.
