soul mate

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Yunqi got up early in the morning. After calling his parents, he went to the kitchen to help Qin's mother prepare breakfast.

Because of the festival, in addition to the usual noodles and fried eggs for breakfast, Qin's mother bought mooncakes from a nearby cake shop, but Qin Zhen, Lu Yunqi and Qin's father didn't like this sweet and greasy dessert. Not like.Qin Zhen and Lu Yunqi shared a piece of mooncake stuffed with egg yolk and lotus paste and never touched the plate of mooncakes. Father Qin didn't even touch it. Mother Qin seemed to have expected this situation a long time ago and ate it by herself. After two, I put the rest of the mooncakes in the refrigerator.

Because Qin Zhen had already taken Lu Yunqi around the small town a few days ago, so the two of them stayed at home for a day without going out on the Mid-Autumn Festival.After dinner, the family of four went out for a walk together. There were few pedestrians on the street. Qin's father and Qin's mother walked in front, and Qin Zhen and Lu Yunqi followed behind them. It's like plating them with a silver edge.

On the last day of the holiday, Qin Zhen and Lu Yunqi were going back to school by car. Because of the long distance, they both packed their luggage early in the morning, and Father Qin drove them to the bus station.Mother Qin reluctantly told the two of them for a long time, and then dragged Lu Yunqi to chatter for a while, until it was almost time to drive before she could let go.

I don't know if it was because he was in a good mood or for some other reason, but on the way back Lu Yunqi didn't get motion sickness anymore, which made Qin Zhen secretly relieved.When the two got on the train together, found their seats and sat down, it was almost lunch time. The train attendant pushed a small trolley full of boxed lunches and hawked between the compartments. Qin Zhen opened the bag his mother gave him, intending to take it. Get something out to fill the stomachs of himself and Lu Yunqi.

There were a lot of things in the bag, water, milk, biscuits, apples, Qin Zhen took out a bag of biscuits and handed it to Lu Yunqi, then he reached out his hand to explore under the bag, and suddenly felt something warm.Qin Zhen felt strange in his heart, fumbled to take out the bag of things, and saw that it was a bag of glutinous rice dumplings.

Lu Yunqi opened the biscuit in his hand and was about to feed a piece to Qin Zhen's mouth. When he saw this bag of glutinous rice dumpling, he was very pleasantly surprised: "Glutinous rice dumpling?"

Qin Zhen nodded with a smile, put the bag of glutinous rice balls into Lu Yunqi's hand, and reached out to take down the biscuit in his mouth: "It's still hot to the touch, it must have been steamed this morning, you can eat it while it's hot." eat."

Lu Yunqi opened the fresh-keeping bag, picked up one through the bag, and motioned to Qin Zhen. Qin Zhen waved his hand and picked up the biscuit he put on the small table: "Eat it, I will eat the biscuit."

Lu Yunqi wasn't polite to him either, he couldn't wait to eat two of them in one sitting, then tied the fresh-keeping bag back into the bag, and touched another carton of milk to drink.

After a whole day of exhausting boats and cars, Qin Zhen called his parents to report that he was safe. Lu Yunqi simply cooked two bowls of noodles. The two of them sat on the sofa and watched TV for a while without going out after dinner. , I took a shower early and went to bed.

A few days after returning to school, Qin Zhen went to City B to participate in an exchange meeting. The school sent a car to take all these teachers and students to the airport. Lu Yunqi could only reluctantly send Qin Zhen to the school gate and give up.

This exchange meeting was held by University B, and many experts and scholars from home and abroad were invited. Qin Zhen and his colleagues were greeted by staff from University B when they got off the plane, and the place to live was also arranged on the campus of University B.Qin Zhen is not the first time to participate in this kind of exchange meeting, but it is the first time to come to University B. He also brought Zhang Yang with him this time, on the one hand, let Zhang Yang feel the overall academic atmosphere of this circle, on the other hand It was also to introduce some contacts in the circle to Zhang Yang and prepare for his future.

On the night of arriving at University B, there was a group dinner. Qin Zhen took this opportunity to introduce several climate research scholars to Zhang Yang. Their circle is not big, and scholars in the same research direction will more or less have some friendship , Everyone will say hello when they meet at the exchange meeting, and talk about their current research status.

"Speaking of which, Old Zhou," one of the middle-aged scholars thought of something, and asked the professor at University B next to him, "I heard that you recently brought in a remarkable talent from abroad?"

The professor at University B said: "There is one, but it's not in our direction, it's researching dynamic meteorology. Hey, he is a professor and doctoral supervisor at a young age, and he has won many honors abroad. Young people nowadays... ...It’s true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and each generation is stronger than the previous generation!”

Another professor immediately echoed: "That's right, you see that Xiao Qin is only in his early thirties, and his achievements are much better than mine!"

Qin Zhen said a few words modestly, seeing that Zhang Yang recognized the person almost, he made an excuse and took him away.

After Qin Zhen took Zhang Yang around the dining place, it was already midnight, and everyone dispersed after eating and drinking, and Qin Zhen and Zhang Yang also went back to the room. University B arranged for them to live in a standard double room in a hotel on campus. Qin Zhen naturally shared a room with Zhang Yang. After returning to the room, Qin Zhen took out his mobile phone from his pocket and saw Lu Yunqi's text message.

Qin Zhen did not reply to the text message, but directly called back with his mobile phone, but the call was not connected immediately, so Qin Zhen waved his hand to signal Zhang Yang to take a shower first, and stood by the window with his mobile phone.

After a while, the call was connected, and Lu Yunqi's voice was full of surprise: "Hello?"

There was also a little smile on Qin Zhen's face: "What are you doing?"

"Checking information." Lu Yunqi replied honestly, "What about you? Will the communication go smoothly?"

Qin Zhen said: "The exchange meeting will start tomorrow, and we will have dinner together tonight."

"Are you still used to eating dinner? I heard that people in the north eat pasta..."

When Zhang Yang came out of the shower, he heard the instructor patiently say to the person on the other end of the phone: "It tastes good, I'll bring it for you when I go back....Well, I live in University B, a double room...Okay , I see, um...you go to bed early too, good night. "

Qin Zhen hung up the phone, turned around and saw that he had already gone to bed, put the phone aside, took out a change of clothes and towels from his box: "Have you finished washing?"

Zhang Yang responded, and Qin Zhen went straight into the bathroom.

The sound of water in the bathroom was splashing, and Zhang Yang was lying on the bed absent-mindedly playing with his mobile phone. He vaguely heard Qin Zhen's mobile phone vibrate, but he couldn't be sure.After Qin Zhen came out of the bathroom in his pajamas, he said, "It seems that your phone rang a while ago."

Qin Zhen nodded, walked to his bedside and picked up the phone to look at it, the corners of his mouth hooked up involuntarily.Zhang Yang watched his tutor answer someone's text message with a gentle smile, and could only silently turn around and wrap himself in the quilt.

It's been hundreds of kilometers away, but they can still show their affection in different ways, single Wang really can't afford to hurt!

On the second day, the exchange meeting officially started. First, there was a routine leadership speech. After the short opening ceremony, there was a short period of free time for activities, followed by various lectures and academic seminars.Qin Zhen took Zhang Yang to sit next to Professor Liu, and was talking to Zhang Yang in a low voice, when he suddenly heard a voice beside him: "Uncle Liu, long time no see."

Qin Zhen turned his head and looked over, and saw a young man of his age walking up to Professor Liu and chatting up with Professor Liu enthusiastically.Professor Liu was obviously not surprised to see this young man here. He shook the young man's hand tightly and nodded with a smile: "Isn't that right? Xiaoliang, you have been promising in the past few years!"

The young man said a few words modestly, and seeing Qin Zhen who was sitting beside him was about the same age as himself, he asked, "This is...?"

Professor Liu cheerfully pulled Qin Zhen to introduce him: "This is our school's teacher, Associate Professor Qin Zhen, who mainly studies climate. Xiao Qin, this is Professor Wen Liang from B University. He just came back from abroad not long ago. , the main research direction is dynamic meteorology.”

Qin Zhen recalled the "talent" mentioned by the professors last night, and reckoned that they were talking about this person.He shook hands with this man named Wen Liang with a smile: "Hello."

Wen Liang's eyes flashed: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Professor Liu said with a smile: "You two are outstanding representatives of the younger generation. Let's communicate more and get to know each other! Your young people's thinking is much more interesting than our old men's. Talk more, talk more!"

At first, Qin Zhen didn't intend to make a deep friendship with him. After all, the research directions of the two of them are relatively different, and the chances of cooperation in the future are not great. Knowing each other is enough, but Professor Liu said so , he is not easy to refuse.After chatting for a few words, Qin Zhen remembered that Lu Yunqi was studying Wen Liang's research direction, and finally became serious.

After chatting like this for a while, Qin Zhen found out that Wen Liang was quite similar to Lu Yunqi.

When Wen Liang chats with people, his words and conversations are very decent, and his behaviors are also well-paced; Wen Liang is also very good at observing words and expressions, when you are silent, he will speak just right, and when you don’t want to discuss this issue in depth, he will not reveal it Changing the subject without a trace, chatting with him is relaxed and pleasant, and you will never feel embarrassed.

——Just like Lu Yunqi who left Qin Zhen.

If there is any difference, it is that after seeing Qin Zhen, Lu Yunqi's decent speech and comfortable attitude were all thrown away, leaving only love, enthusiasm, worrying about gains and losses and being cautious. .

Lu Yunqi will always be like a child in front of Qin Zhen. He finally got a candy he loves very much. Because he is afraid of losing the candy, he always holds it tightly. Open the wrapping paper quickly, and only take a sip when you can't help it.
