intellectual norms

During the few days when Qiao Yu was away, Xia Xiaoli thought a lot.

He was still a little unbelievable that he was really with Qiao Yu, "Boyfriend", he blushed just thinking about these three words.

However, he did not forget the problems that existed objectively between them. He felt that he was still catching up with the other person. No need, if he doesn't catch up quickly, he won't feel at ease.

The gap between the two may be a fresh stimulus at the beginning, but he feels that this cannot last long. If he wants to be Qiao Yu's person, he must make himself a tree, not a vine.

He even thought of Lin Zhihua, although there were many unresolvable problems between Lin Zhihua and Qiao Yu, but they had been together for nine years, Xia Xiaoli could realize how strong two people who stand side by side and equal in strength are when they are passionately in love. One of the most important things is that giving and receiving in the relationship are both sides, but I am too weak now, being weak means being passive, and can only be given.

For example, if Qiao Yu was going to Africa, he could only passively wait there, unable to do anything.

So the joyful mood was mixed with some inexplicable melancholy.

On New Year's Eve, a large family in Xia's family huddled in the living room on the top floor of the hotel to watch the Spring Festival Gala. When it was almost twelve o'clock, Xia Xiaoberry invited everyone to go to the small square in the village to set off fireworks.

This is not a city, fireworks and firecrackers are not controlled, Xia Xiaoberry made a lot of them out of nowhere, and put enough.

Xia Xiaoli took a bunch of crooked videos and sent them to Qiao Yu. Qiao Yu's side was quiet. The two old professors at home couldn't bear to stay up late, so they went to bed early. He didn't watch the Spring Festival Gala either. Xia Xiaoli sent a message.

I didn't see anything all night, just watched the child chattering, sending videos, and sending photos. At midnight, he called and heard the firecrackers over there, and the little wild cat shouted through the microphone: "Brother Joe! Happy New Year's Eve—"

Qiao Yu couldn't help laughing, but he couldn't call like that, Xia Xiaoli was too noisy, Qiao Yu said "I can't hear you clearly" whatever Xia Xiaoli said, and finally Xia Xiaoli hung up the phone and sent a video request to come over, Qiao Yu received.

In the picture, I saw an ice lychee wrapped like a rice dumpling trotting all the way to the corner of the upstairs rooftop where no one was there. Finally, it became quieter. Xia Xiaoli said in the wind, "Brother Qiao, I miss you so much."

Qiao Yu looked at the villain who was stomped by the cold wind, slid his finger across Xia Xiaoli's face on the screen, and said, "I miss you too."

Xia Xiaoli narrowed her eyes, kissed through the screen, and smiled: "I don't think so after a kiss."

Qiao Yu said, "I still want to."

Xia Xiaoli was worried: "Then what should I do?"

Qiao Yu deliberately said, "It would be nice if you came back earlier."

Xia Xiaoli nodded immediately: "Okay! I will try to come back in the second and third grades!"

Qiao Yu laughed: "No, no, it's rare to spend more time with your father during the holidays. He's also always at the construction site, working very hard and missing you very much."

Xia Xiaoli sneezed, Qiao Yu said, "Come inside quickly, don't catch a cold, it's windy outside."

"Well, then I'll go in first, and I'll let you know in advance when I can come back."

"Okay." Qiao Yu moved closer and said, "Little Li, have a safe and happy new year."

The busy second half of the semester arrived as scheduled, and Xia Xiaoli felt the difference as soon as school started. A feeling of "seriousness" spread among every class. No one fought around during the evening self-study class, and everyone was calm A face, almost numb to do the question.

After this atmosphere lasted for a month, Xia Xiaoli began to feel breathless, but he knew that the last half of the semester was like this, everyone was sprinting, and he was no exception.

In the monthly exam of the first month, he kept his position in the first exam room and climbed up several places, feeling that he had exhausted all his strength.

On Saturday afternoon, Xia Xiaoli took the report card and went directly to Qiao Yu's office. Qiao Yu has also been very busy since the Spring Festival. The workload of the previous semester was directly doubled, and almost all weekends were spent in the office.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the hall on that floor, I heard cheers erupting inside. Xia Xiaoli pushed the door open and saw a group of people in the hall surrounding Cheng Yu. , work in our hospital every day, and pass the postgraduate entrance examination.”

"He has always been a top student, and he is still following Professor Qiao. It is not easy to take the postgraduate entrance examination."

"Xiao Cheng, don't you have a guest here?"

……

Cheng Yu was full of excitement, holding his mobile phone, as if he had just checked the score line, and said with restraint in excitement: "There is still a retest, it's still early, and it's not yet determined."

A young male teacher said: "You are all graduate students of this school. Which teacher doesn't know you yet? It's not safe."

Cheng Yu was silent for a while when he heard this, and said with some disappointment: "Unfortunately, Teacher Qiao will not enroll students this year." As he spoke, he looked at Qiao Yu's office again, and the people inside were on the phone.

Seeing this scene, Xia Xiaoli walked over and said sincerely to Cheng Yu: "Brother Cheng, have you ever graduated? Congratulations."

"Thank you, Xiaoli." Cheng Yu returned to his usual indifferent expression: "It's all luck."

Xia Xiaoli smiled and said nothing more.

At this time, Qiao Yu came out after speaking on the phone, and said "Congratulations" to Cheng Yu, and then said to everyone: "Congratulations to Xiao Cheng, please have afternoon tea this afternoon."

Cheers erupted in the hall, Qiao Yu opened the take-out app on his mobile phone, handed it to other people, and let them take turns ordering all the food and drink they wanted on it, and finally he came to pay the bill.

In the midst of jubilation, Xia Xiaoli suddenly felt that his monthly test scores for the top 25 in a grade were not enough. He clutched the report card in his hand and quietly stuffed it back into his backpack.

Qiao Yu looked at it calmly, and after ordering the takeaway, he dragged Xia Xiaoli into the office, closed the door and pressed him against the door on purpose: "What good things are you hiding? Why don't you let me see it?" .”

Xia Xiaoli grinned, and was about to get out from underneath, but Qiao Yu brought him back, wrapped his arms around him from behind, and took out a crumpled piece of paper from his schoolbag.

Xia Xiaoli sneered: "Everyone has passed the postgraduate entrance examination, so what's the point of my one-month examination results?"

Qiao Yu couldn't understand Xia Xiaoli's brain circuit, so he flattened the report card, pressed it with the crystal paperweight on the desk, and said, "He took his test and you took your test. What's the comparison?"

"Besides," Qiao Yu glanced outside the door: "It has nothing to do with me to pass his postgraduate exam. Your grades have a lot to do with me."

Xia Xiaoli was amused immediately, that's right!

"I've improved again, so why should we reward Xiao Li?" Qiao Yu looked at him with a condescending smile.

Xia Xiaoli licked her lips subconsciously. Qiao Yu is very familiar with this little trick now. Xia Xiaoli has the advantage that whatever she thinks in her heart is shown on her face. When she wants to kiss you, she looks straight at you and wants to eat something delicious. Lick your lips.

"Let's go home and prepare delicious food for Xiaoli." Before he could say anything, Qiao Yu gave a satisfactory answer.

Xia Xiaoli nodded sharply, and asked again: "Brother Qiao, you are so busy, will it affect your work?"

"You have to eat at work, right, after all, energy capsules haven't been developed yet."

The afternoon tea takeaway in the hall had already been delivered, and the young people were eating and drinking together, calling Qiao Yu and Xia Xiaoli to come with them, Qiao Yu went over to get a box of egg tarts for Xia Xiaoli, then waved at them and left.

The two walked to the entrance of the hall, and as soon as they opened the door, Zhou Yishen came in. They met each other, and Zhou Yishen said, "Little Qiao, you just happened to be here. Let me tell you something. How do you arrange it here?"

Qiao Yu had thought about this early in the morning: "I'll go with them and go too."

"It's okay. It will take a month to a month and a half. The workload will be heavy. You can't do it alone. You have to bring an assistant. How about taking Xiao Cheng with you?"

Qiao Yu thought for a while, this is a normal operation, there is no problem, but he subconsciously glanced at Xia Xiaoli, Xia Xiaoli pursed her lips, and nodded slightly. Although he didn't understand, he also felt that it was too hard for Qiao Yu to go alone. It's a pity I can't help myself.

Zhou Yishen saw that Cheng Yu was also there, looked at the time and said, "It happens that you are all here, why don't you go to my office for a meeting and tell you the specific situation?"

"Okay." Qiao Yu turned to Xia Xiaoli and said, "Go to my office and stay a little longer?"

Zhou Yi looked at Xia Xiaoli with a deep smile, and said, "Xiaoli has something to do with our teacher Qiao? Don't worry, it won't take him too long."

Of course Xia Xiaoli didn't mind, and went back to Qiao Yu's office, and found that Qiao Yu took away the report card on the table under the weight of a paperweight.

While waiting, he thought endlessly, to investigate, he should set off soon, then, this is the first official separation between them.

He suddenly envied Cheng Yu, and as time passed, the envy gradually deepened to the point of jealousy, because Cheng Yu was four or five years older than him, so he could be with Qiao Yu in class, work, and business trips. At this point, Xia Xiaoli is really jealous.

The feeling of powerlessness came again, the twilight in the office deepened inch by inch, and Xia Xiaoli was infected with sorrow and melancholy.

He coveted all the positions around Qiao Yu, not only lovers, but also students, assistants, and colleagues. One day, Xia Xiaoli secretly swore that all these positions would be his.

When Qiao Yu came out from the meeting, it was already dark. He came to the office to take Xia Xiaoli home, and saw a silent and frowning child. He didn't know what happened, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?" ? Just for an hour or two, who bullied you?"

Xia Xiaoli didn't know what to say about this sad mood, she felt that she was sincere and hypocritical, alas.

"What's the matter?" Qiao Yu squatted down in front of the sofa, put his elbows on Xia Xiaoli's knees, and looked closely into his eyes.

The long eyelashes trembled slightly, but Xia Xiaoli still couldn't hide her thoughts, and said, "I'm envious that Cheng Yu can go with you, but I can't. I also want to be your student, your assistant, and your colleague."

Qiao Yu lowered his head and smiled, then held Xia Xiaoli's face, rubbed it vigorously, and said, "That's it?"

"hold head high."

"What's so enviable about these positions? The students change every year. There are at least a dozen of my assistants, and there are even more colleagues. Counting those on the construction site, there are thousands of them? Do you want these running seats? "Qiao Yu asked him with a deliberate smile.

Xia Xiaoli shook her head again and again: "No, no, I, I, I didn't mean that."

"That's right." Qiao Yu picked Xia Xiaoli's chin: "There is only one unchanging position, and it is now occupied by a kitten, but that kitten said he wanted to go to another place, so what's the matter? How can I let this kitten stay?"

Xia Xiaoli snorted: "The little cat doesn't want to go to other places, the little cat just wants to dominate this position forever, and won't go anywhere."

Qiao Yu spread her hands: "Then there is no other way, I can only let the kitten stay here forever."
