Contention

The two lay down for another half an hour before lazily getting up from the bed.During this period, Lu Yuexi's cell phone did not move, but Zou Feiniao's message reminded him to jingle.

Zou Feiniao was washing up in front of the sink, Lu Yuexi looked at her, and then at the busy phone, because the screen was facing him, and when news came, the phone would light up.

Lu Yuexi could see clearly that someone with the note "Michala" had been sending messages to Zou Feiniao.

Ask her "when do you come back" for a while, and tell her "Ibought you alittle present" for a while.

Foreigners may be more enthusiastic, but this is too enthusiastic.

Lu Yuexi picked up the phone, but he couldn't bear it anymore, and walked slowly behind Zou Feiniao, asking, "Who is Michala?"

As soon as Zou Feiniao finished rinsing his mouth, he looked up and saw Lu Yuexi's face behind him in the mirror.

His eyes were gloomy and he looked a little annoyed.

"A senior." She sighed, washing her face while explaining, her tone was natural, "Although I am not a major with me, I have a good relationship with my tutor, and she takes good care of me."

Lu Yuexi frowned: "Is she the one who called you yesterday?"

"what?"

"It was at lunch yesterday."

"Well, she wants to borrow a book from me."

Lu Yuexi pressed the phone, looked down at the simple note "Michala", and said quietly: "It's borrowing books again, and buying gifts...does she like girls?"

Zou Feiniao smiled without saying a word.

Lu Yuexi's expression could be called gloomy: "... Zou Feiniao, what do you mean?"

Probably seeing that she was really angry, Zou Feiniao finally stopped pretending to be silent, coughed softly, and finally relieved Lu Yuexi's anger: "She has a boyfriend, it's because she lived in Beijing for a while when she was a child, so it seems that I am very special kind."

Lu Yuexi heard the words, but he didn't seem relieved, and still looked at her expressionlessly.

The two looked at each other for a long time, Zou Feiniao couldn't stop laughing, went over and took her hand, and said softly, "I'll put the ring on when I get back, put it on my finger, and tell everyone that I'm engaged, is it okay?"

Lu Yuexi took her hand back, and slowly stroked Zou Feiniao's palm with his fingertips, then nodded.

But she still felt a little unhappy.This child has grown so big in the blink of an eye, with outstanding appearance and good conversation skills, even if the ring is worn on his finger, it is difficult to guarantee that someone else will post it.

When getting into the car and getting ready to go to school, Lu Yuexi was still worried.Assistant Wen was driving the car ahead, and she didn't shy away from it, asking, "You've been here for so long, and no one is chasing you?"

Zou Feiniao held in his arms the bouquet of flowers that Lu Yuexi gave her yesterday. They left early because she had to go back to the dormitory to put the flowers away in a hurry, so she replied casually: "Busy, I didn't pay attention."

"No one really asks you out, what about men?"

"Yes, yes..." She said, seeming to be bored with this topic, and lightly dismissed it, "I won't agree, but sometimes some dinners can't be avoided."

Lu Yuexi heard that she felt a little impatient, probably because he felt that he didn't trust her, and it was too late to ask further questions, so he could only rest his head on her shoulder and said angrily, "Put the ring on when I get back."

"Ah."

When they arrived at school, Zou Feiniao had to go to class after putting out the flowers. Before going to the classroom, he took them to UniQuad and asked them to wait for him there.

Lu Yuexi felt that she was quite like a parent who came to attend the parents' meeting of the child, and said amusedly: "You go to your class, can I still get lost?"

"Then you go shopping casually, and wait for me here at 11:30."

"You go." Actually, Lu Yuexi was not in the mood to go anywhere, so he sat down on a wooden bench in the courtyard, watched Zou Feiniao say hello to Assistant Wen, and hurried away with his schoolbag on his back.

There was a convenience store diagonally across the corner, and Lu Yuexi asked Assistant Wen to buy him something to eat, while he sat there and waited.

There were people coming and going around, but it was still quiet. Occasionally, two foreign students passed by holding books and looked at her.

She sees them as foreigners, and they see her as a foreigner.

Lu Yuexi woke up early in the morning, so he doesn't have much energy now.Lifting his eyelids lazily, his expression looked a little indifferent.

She took out her mobile phone and swiped casually. The signal here is not particularly good.After getting up and walking to the self-service vending machine, Lu Yuexi finally swiped out the latest news on WeChat.

Except for some miscellaneous things in the company group, no one sent her a message.

At the top of the page is still the message from Ye Huai asking about her drawing.

Lu Yuexi thought about it, and said to her: I am abroad now, let me show you when I go back.

After replying, she put the phone in her trouser pocket, narrowed her eyes slightly and looked into the distance.

She didn't remember very clearly how she was studying in the UK.It is not easy to get a foreign degree. Later, after studying for a master's degree, the academic pressure was even greater. She was very serious about working from nine to five.

When I am free, I go to my mother, let my mother take me for a drive, or take some violin lessons and etiquette lessons.

At that time, I was full of thoughts about returning to China soon, and I had no energy for socializing and having fun, and I didn't spend any time on other men and women, so my days passed quite quickly.

Just as he was in a daze, Assistant Wen had already bought some things, waffles, chiffon cakes, a bottle of coffee, and two packs of snacks.

Lu Yuexi couldn't stop talking, and sat on the bench while eating and looking at her mobile phone. Assistant Wen asked her about her upcoming itinerary, and she answered casually.

After eating, the sun is three poles high, and the square courtyard is directly above the curved ceiling, and the light and shadow are slowly moving and changing on it, just like the waves in the sea.

It was noon today, and the weather was a bit hot. She took off the dark khaki drawstring jacket and put it on her hand, watching the people coming and going in front of her, feeling bored.

After waiting for a while, Zou Feiniao finally finished class and walked towards her in the dark corridor. There were two more people beside him, a man and a woman, with high noses and deep eyes.

What they were discussing, they were a little emotional, Zou Feiniao didn't speak often, just nodded or shook her head, and she said goodbye to them when she came to Lu Yuexi.

When he came over and was about to speak, he frowned, subconsciously covered his mouth and nose, and sneezed firmly.

"Hiss," Lu Yuexi hurriedly took the paper from the bag and handed it to her, "Isn't it alright?"

Zou Feiniao took the paper and said in a muffled voice, "It's hard to get well if you haven't been sick for a long time."

Lu Yuexi said: "Isn't it because you always sit in front of the computer and don't exercise? You also stay up late every day. Your body is the capital of revolution, okay?"

"It's exactly the same as what my mother said..." Zou Feiniao wiped his nose, just smiled, and didn't make any excuses. Lu Yuexi came all the way to see her, arguing about these things is meaningless, "Got it, I will pay attention."

Lu Yuexi snorted: "Next time I get sick again, I won't come."

She is also stubborn, and she will definitely come again next time.She knows herself better than anyone else.

After lunch in the cafeteria, I took a stroll around the school.However, Zou Feiniao often goes to dormitories, classrooms, libraries, cafeterias, and laboratories at [-]:[-] every day. As for other buildings, she can't tell where it is. The sign said it.

Lu Yuexi teased: "Well, you are not as accurate as I can guess at a glance."

After taking a quick walk around, Lu Yuexi lost interest a long time ago.His thoughts drifted, and his mind was full of indecency.

With a reserved face, he complained: "I'm exhausted, go back quickly, didn't you say you wanted to watch the second part of that movie yesterday?"

Zou Feiniao hesitated, then stopped suddenly: "Sorry, I can't accompany you tonight."

Lu Yuexi glared at her: "Huh?"

"There is a project task that needs to be completed quickly." Zou Feiniao explained, "Maybe I have to go to the library for an extra 'class' at night, and I have an appointment with a classmate."

"..." Lu Yuexi still stared at her.

"I'll go find you tomorrow morning and make sure we eat breakfast together." Zou Feiniao hugged her and leaned into her ear, "Is that okay?"

Lu Yuexi had no choice but to squeeze her hand hard: "Put the ring on when you get back, and tell them that you are in charge."

Zou Feiniao smiled: "I know."

Back at the hotel, a little restless.

Lu Yuexi came out of the bath, and went directly to the hotel rooftop to blow air.There is an open-air garden, and there are special telescope equipment for stargazing. At the moment, someone is having a party on it, and it is quite lively.

She came to a corner and sat down, and called Lu Min.

Lu Min laughed at her unreasonable worries, because Zou Feiniao, an academic madman, couldn't possibly have the energy to cheat.If it wasn't for Lu Yuexi who made an early move, the child might not even be interested in love.

Lu Yuexi remained silent.

Lu Min added: "Compared to this, you might as well think about your future plans. If Feiniao stays and works in New Zealand, what will you do?"

Lu Yuexi frowned: "This is impossible, she must go back."

"Then if she goes to places like Beijing and Shanghai, you two have to be in different places."

"Then I'll go too."

"My brother might beat you." After teasing Lu Min, he was silent for a while, and then sighed deeply, "You are not a child anymore, and you have responsibilities. Whether you are gay or straight, staying together for a lifetime is important." It's not an easy task, rather than worrying about whether the other party will cheat, the question of how to live a good life is more realistic, roses and bread are indispensable."

"..." Lu Yuexi looked up at the long dark night, with two or three stars dotted in the distance, not prominent, "I will think about it carefully, uncle."

After hanging up the phone, the party in the distance reached its climax. The strong smell of the cocktail made Lu Yuexi frowned slightly, making her unable to calm down at all.

She got up and walked downstairs, and called Zou Feiniao.

After being hung up, she remembered that the other party should still be in the library at this moment.But fortunately, Zou Feiniao quickly sent a photo with a sentence:

"I'll come over tomorrow morning, you go to bed early."

Lu Yuexi finally calmed down and said "good night".

Had a dream at night, staring dazedly, unable to tell what the dream was, only a horrific blackness, she seemed to be falling, and woke up with a sense of loss.

Open your eyes, the light in the hotel room is dim, the blackout silk curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows are thick, but not completely closed, and the thin layer of veil behind the silk curtains is in the corner, shining a bit of dazzling sunlight.

Lu Yuexi felt that it was getting late, so he picked up his phone and saw that it was past nine o'clock.

Zou Feiniao sent her a message half an hour ago, asking if she was awake.

She pinched the bridge of her nose, still feeling bored, and was about to reply to the message when the doorbell rang.Wearing a nightgown, she walked over to open the door, but what she saw were several bags of hot food.

The girl put down the bag and smiled at her.

Lu Yuexi suddenly felt better: "There is also a Chinese breakfast in the cafeteria downstairs, why did you bring it on purpose?"

Zou Feiniao said as he entered the room: "I think the flavors sold in my school are very good. It's good to bring them here for you to taste."

Open the curtains and put the food on the table one by one. Soup dumplings, steamed dumplings, preserved egg porridge, boiled eggs and two cups of soy milk. The soup dumplings are stuffed with crab roe. The juice is sweet and the size is suitable. .

Lu Yuexi went to the bathroom to change clothes and came out after washing. Zou Feiniao was sitting on a chair peeling eggs.

She guessed that she didn't sleep well last night, and she looked a little sleepy. Seeing Lu Yuexi approaching, she raised her head and handed over the peeled egg.

Lu Yuexi took the egg, pinched her nose, and said, "Squint for a while, I'll take you to Kaikoura at noon."

Zou Feiniao paused: "What are you doing there?"

"Don't you want to see whales? I checked, there are special whale watching projects there, go and see."

Zou Feiniao's expression was a bit inexplicable: "I saw it a long time ago, and I deal with them every day."

Lu Yuexi snorted softly: "I know, but you haven't been with me yet."

"Oh, that's right." But he didn't look forward to much, instead he hesitated to speak, as if in a dilemma.As soon as Lu Yuexi met her eyes, he knew that this arrangement would fail.

She frowned, and simply asked directly: "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

"Well, there is a group topic in the afternoon, and we need to discuss it."

"..." Lu Yuexi was speechless.

Groupwork is boring and useless in my opinion, if it was her, she would skip it directly, and there is nothing more important than being with your lover.

But since Zou Feiniao felt that such matters were more important, she had no choice but to accommodate.

Lu Yuexi laughed shortly: "You have a lot of things to do, busier than me as the general manager."

In the end, she didn't want to be too harsh, sighed slightly: "Then when shall we go? Tomorrow?"

"There is class tomorrow."

"Then the day after tomorrow." Lu Yuexi looked at his phone, "The day after tomorrow is Saturday, and you can spare a day to accompany me, so it won't delay what you're doing, right?"

After she said that, Zou Feiniao naturally agreed.But the atmosphere suddenly became dull for some reason.Lu Yuexi scooped up the small portion of preserved egg and lean meat porridge with a spoon, while Zou Feiniao continued to peel the other boiled eggs in the bag.

Looking at it from this angle, the eyelids behind the lens are slightly half-drooped indifferently, and it is difficult to distinguish emotions.

Lu Yuexi didn't like the state of the other party's silence, and was thinking about a suitable topic to talk about when the cell phone rang suddenly.

It was Zou Feiniao's call.

After Zou Feiniao came to his senses, he put the peeled egg into Lu Yuexi's bowl, wiped his hands with a paper towel, and then answered the phone.

Did not pick up in front of Lu Yuexi, went to the other side of the room.She faced the floor-to-ceiling windows, leaving only a thin and tall back.

While watching, Lu Yuexi slowly ate the porridge in the small plastic bowl.

Although the hotel suite was spacious, no matter how soft Zou Feiniao was, Lu Yuexi could still hear what she said.

Because it was in English, and the speed of the speech was a bit fast, and the words were all rare words, Lu Yuexi listened for a long time, but only caught a few words, such as "fattyacid", "chemicalmodel", "numericalsimulation□□ysis".

But she could probably hear that Zou Feiniao and the person on the other side of the phone seemed to be discussing the topic of applying for a project.

In any case, it was at this stage. She could understand the other party's busy affairs, but she could only understand.After all, she majored in finance, and Zou Feiniao majored in marine biological research, so there was a huge distance between majors.

She couldn't understand, and couldn't get in.

Thinking of what I said before, about helping Zou Feiniao pave the way, now it seems that it is indeed a bit of a big talk.With their own strength, girls can go farther and farther in a completely unfamiliar field.

And Lu Yuexi couldn't do anything except watch and show some care.
