Stand by

Jiang Xing didn't like to hear Ye Yi's voice. He didn't know if it was his illusion. He never understood why Ye Yi kept talking to Pei Lu in that inexplicable strange tone. He felt uncomfortable (wanted to hit someone).

But it was probably because he and Ye Yi had a relationship, so there was nothing pleasing to the eyes of the other party. He was just an ordinary person, he had human flaws and narrow-mindedness, he couldn't avoid it, and he didn't want to.

He doesn't want to be an open-minded great saint, he wants to be a rights defender with teeth and claws.

Pei Lu refused twice indifferently on the phone. The other party should have been persistent in inviting her again and again. Pei Lu refused the last time very decisively, even a little impatiently.

He hung up the phone and saw Jiang Xing drinking tea with a nonchalant expression on his face. He looked down at his empty cup, laughed, picked it up and put it in front of him, and asked with a slightly stern face, "Where's mine?"

Jiang Xing let out a slow "ah", and said innocently: "I didn't know you wanted to drink."

Pei Lu's tone was faint, with a rising tone: "You don't know?"

Jiang Xing curled his lips, his dark eyes rolled around, and whispered without confidence: "Didn't you want to talk on the phone?"

Pei Lu looked at him quietly for a few seconds, then smiled suddenly, and the sound of sirens came from the distant river.

The twilight is all together, the sunset is gorgeous today, and Jiang Xing is more moving than the dusk.

Pei Lu moved the stool a little, and the distance between the two of them was back to the same distance as before, and Jiang Xing leaned back.

Pei Lu frowned, tapped the rim of the cup with his index finger, and said in a very low voice, "Today is my birthday."

Jiang Xing thought for a while, and condescendingly poured tea for Pei Lu. The heat of the tea rushed up his face, and he blinked uncomfortably. Pei Lu quickly took the teapot in his hand and asked, "Are your eyes uncomfortable? ?”

Today is the first time for Jiang Xing to wear invisibility. He has checked the information and found that it is best to wear it for no more than six hours a day for the first few times. He also asked Jiang Xing several times during the day at the aquarium if he felt dry eyes or foreign objects. Feeling, Jiang Xing even said he didn't feel it.

Jiang Xing squinted his eyes halfway, Pei Lu seemed to be someone who had lived with him for a long time, and had already predicted his subconscious movement habits, and when he wanted to raise his hand to rub his eyes again, he took his hands decisively first , raised Jiang Xing's chin with the other hand, looked into his eyes, and gently rubbed his chin, which was very comforting.

"Sit here obediently, I'll wash your hands and help you take off your glasses."

Jiang Xing couldn't see, felt insecure, grabbed Pei Lu's clothes and said, "Then come back quickly."

Pei Lu stroked his back and promised: "Soon."

Pei Lu recalled the tips summed up by the video blogger, and quickly helped Jiang Xing take off his glasses.

Jiang Xing, who had lost his clear vision, returned to his original dazed look, but it may be because he doesn't wear glasses at all, his eyes are still very bright, and he can't tell that he is nearsighted, but it's a bit like he's out of his body. Seems soft and childish at certain moments.

Pei Lu saw that he seemed to like the steamed pork ribs with lotus root very much, so he changed the dish to a place a little closer to him. He thought Jiang Xing was engrossed in eating and didn't pay attention. Laugh: "If this is in my house, you will be scolded by my mother."

When he was a child, Jiang Yu felt that he owed his children a lot, and Jiang Xing had a bad heart, so he doted on children a lot, and loved to put delicious dishes in front of him.

Tao Shi didn't think it was good, and she couldn't be special, but Jiang Yu refused to change after repeated admonitions. Tao Shi put on a straight face like facing the most stubborn student in the class and educated the father and son.

Jiang Xing was aggrieved, and it wasn't because he asked for something special. Thinking of his mother's raised eyebrows, she stuck out her tongue in fear, and whispered to Pei Lu: "Why am I being scolded too?"

"Also let me use a brush to copy ancient poems, hoe the crops at noon, and drip the sweat into the soil."

"But my dad is even worse, copying scriptures."

Pei Lu frowned slightly, silently envious of Jiang Xing's family and parents.

But probably only such principled but caring and intelligent parents can raise a child like Jiang Xing.

The heart is rich and confident, and the wind and rain outside cannot damage his inner core. Sometimes it is soft, sometimes it is sharp, it is unpolluted jade in the rough.

His parents protected him very well during the treacherous ups and downs of his childhood, but Pei Lu hoped that he could do this in the future.

Because Jiang Xing is very precious.

It is a very regrettable and deplorable thing for such a clear and beautiful jade to be covered with dust. He doesn't want to see it, and he won't allow it to happen.

Or, in fact, it is Pei Lu himself who also wants to own and collect this piece of beautiful jade

So, he said to Jiang Xing: "That's not the case outside, but it's okay here."

Pei Lu's voice was too gentle, like the rippling lake water on the surface of the river. Jiang Xing thought about it and felt that this privilege was a bit exciting, so he nodded in agreement.

Therefore, Jiang Xing was deprived of his privileges at home at the age of eight, and regained them at Pei Lu's place at the age of 20.

It's just that he didn't realize that, in fact, from the very beginning, he had many unexplained and unspoken privileges in Pei Lu's world.

Jiang Xing asked Pei Lu: "Will you come to the laboratory soon?"

Some time ago, they collaborated on an experimental research, and they both devoted a lot of time and energy to each other, so when Jiang Xing mentioned it, he was very emotional, as if talking about his own child, "I have already collected the gas."

This is the first time he and Pei Lu have collaborated in research and development, and they have injected their respective wisdom and innovation, so it takes extra care.

"Come on," Pei Lu responded quickly, "Then I'll collect the rest of the data." Pei Lu was much more shameless, and directly regarded this experiment as his and Jiang Xing's first child, no matter how busy he was, he had to spare time to bring.

Jiang Xing clasped his hands together as if praying and saying goodbye, and said with infinite hope: "Then you can try to apply for a patent soon."

In fact, in their majors, applying for a patent is not as difficult as laymen think. As long as students in colleges and universities stay in the subject or project team for a long time, they will try to develop and innovate by themselves to improve their competitiveness, and they are already familiar with the process.

Of course, after the application is successful, whether the technology or product will work in the future and its commercial value is another matter.

That is something other than science and truth.

Jiang Xing was very relieved of Pei Lu's business ability. When Pei Lu was free to collect data, he didn't have to be there all the time, and said, "Then I will hurry up and revise the paper at the end of the semester."

He looked around, checked, and then approached Pei Lu and whispered, "The editor of X magazine contacted me some time ago."

Very low-key, but a little unconcealable joy and pride, Pei Lu looked at the suddenly enlarged face in front of him, his eyes sank, and he lowered his voice like him, curiously: "Oh? How about it?"

Jiang Xing's old spirit is here: "She asked me if I am interested in publishing their supplement, but I need to revise it."

Journal X is a core journal. If there is no teacher and a Daniel signature, their main issue will be difficult to get published, so as a first-year graduate student, it is already very powerful to be able to independently publish supplementary issues.

Pei Lu said, "Then congratulations."

Jiang Xing waved his hands with an expression of "hey, don't say that": "I still need to revise to see if I can pass the draft." He then instructed, "Take some time to help me take a look."

Pei Lu was easy to speak: "It's an honor."

The clouds in the sky reveal a faint rose color, everything is slowly getting better, and everything is full of hope.
