He said I was soft and nice

Recess in the afternoon of the second day.

"Qi Ling, your notebook is actually empty? Didn't you take notes in the last class?"

Xie Kaiyu habitually wanted to look at the notes Qi Ling made in class, but when he brought them back, they were all blank, without even a punctuation mark. Did you miss class?"

Only then did Qi Ling come to his senses, took the notebook, and said casually: "Huh? Oh, I'll add a photo and send it to you later."

He really didn't pay attention to the class, his mind was full of Xu Chen's words last night.

"I'm waiting for you to be ready for a relationship with me."

Although Xu Chen said that he didn't need to rush to reply, Qi Ling's mind echoed the three words "in love" all day today, which made his head hot and his whole body was a little swayed.

Xie Kaiyu saw that Qi Ling started to lose his mind again, and frowned, "Did you not sleep well last night?"

But when he thought of something, he muttered: "No! We don't have class this morning, why can't we sleep well?"

Xie Kaiyu said that Qi Ling felt his cheeks were burning hot. He actually slept well last night. He was overtired. When Xu Chen carried him to the bed, he fell asleep almost as soon as he touched the bed. When he woke up, he was almost ten. It was past one o'clock, and Xu Chen got up early to go to work.

"I summed up the project report I made during the summer vacation in the morning, edited a small video and uploaded it to the Internet, and I felt a bit out of spirit." Qi Ling randomly made an excuse.

Xie Kaiyu didn't think much about it, "Is that so! I still thought that your state was no different from that kid Chang Yongyi, and I thought you were in a similar situation."

Xu Zhou asked for leave from school for some reason, and didn't come to the dormitory until the start of school, so Xie Kaiyu stayed with Chang Yongyi for most of the day, and witnessed Chang Yongyi's stupid appearance after falling in love.

When Xie Kaiyu talked about this, his expression was indescribable, "Qi Ling, you don't know, Chang Yongyi has been doing it lately, quietly looking at his mobile phone all day long, and never forgetting to be at the table in the middle of class, often disappearing, even in the dormitory. You can stay on the balcony and make a phone call without being afraid of being bitten to death by mosquitoes!"

"I let him in, but he still doesn't want to, because he thinks I'm a spoiler! You can't say too much!"

Qi Ling, who had just turned on his phone and was about to click on the WeChat chat interface, silently turned off the screen of the phone, and then forcefully suppressed the curvature of the corner of his mouth, before replying: "Then he is too much."

However, Xie Kaiyu's accusations, why does he feel that he has been hit by every one?

As long as Xu Chen is free, he will send messages and call people, and if possible, he will go to the other party's company to stay for a while. After all, he seems to be more exaggerated than Chang Yongyi...

"It's more than excessive!" Xie Kaiyu didn't notice Qi Ling's face, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, "Didn't you realize that Chang Yongyi didn't sit with us in this class?"

Qi Ling was stunned, he didn't pay attention before, but looking at it now, he really said, "Did he skip class?"

Xie Kaiyu rolled his eyes, turned his head and pointed to the back of the classroom, "It's over there!"

Qi Ling followed his line of sight, and found that Chang Yongyi was sitting in the back corner of the classroom, with a girl sitting next to him, who looked very familiar, and it turned out to be Li Sihan.

The two were talking with their heads down, with smiles on their faces, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"Did you see? The dance department probably has no classes at this time, so Li Sihan came with Chang Yongyi. Of course, that kid left us to be with his sweetheart." Xie Kaiyu clicked his tongue, "I suspect that the two of them have already started talking You are in love, look at how intimate you are, and you still keep it a secret from me!"

Qi Ling was stunned, "Dating?"

"Yeah! I saw the two of them when I passed by the school lover forest, and they were holding hands! Isn't this dating, what are you doing?"

Qi Ling smacked his lips twice, and retorted secretly in his heart, he and Xu Chen have also held hands many times, and they haven't fallen in love...

But he knew that his situation could not be compared with Chang Yongyi's.

After class, Chang Yongyi quickly ran from the back seat to sit next to them, and patted Qi Ling on the shoulder with a smile, "Long time no see, little Ling! To celebrate the beginning of the new semester, I invite you to You drink milk tea!"

Li Sihan has classes later, and he also has classes, so we can't get tired of being together, so I came to see Xie Kaiyu and the other two.

Hearing what he said, Qi Ling felt a little funny: "Why, are you looking forward to the start of school?"

"He can only look forward to the start of school!" Xie Kaiyu vacated the seat next to him, and Chang Yongyi hooked his neck as soon as he sat down, "This kid has been doing this lately, as if he wants to announce his identity to the whole world. It’s a good thing, but if I ask, I won’t say anything.”

Chang Yongyi was not annoyed when he was strangled, he smiled and asked Xie Kaiyu to let go, "Oh, I know I've been showing off a lot of dog food recently, don't be angry, just order milk tea after class, I'll treat you!"

Xie Kaiyu let go of him and snorted: "That's about the same."

Qi Ling could clearly see the joy on Chang Yongyi's eyebrows, after thinking about it, he still couldn't help asking: "You're done?"

Chang Yongyi touched his nose when he heard this, as if a little embarrassed, "Everyone is here now, and I won't hide it anymore. I confessed my love to Sihan last night."

"And she agreed."

When Xie Kaiyu heard this, he slapped him on the back, "Wow, you're fast! You've only been in school for a few days!"

Qi Ling also smiled and said: "Congratulations, it seems that this milk tea must be drunk."

Chang Yongyi looked at Qi Ling with gratitude, "It's also thanks to your suggestion, otherwise Sihan and I might not have made it this far."

He recklessly confessed to Li Sihan during the summer vacation, and was disheartened after being politely rejected. It was Qi Ling who told him to take his time and not to rush, so he mustered up the courage to ask Li Sihan clearly, but the other party really felt that it was too much. When he was abrupt, he was patient and got to know people better.

Both of them came to City A before school started and got along for a while, so last night he chose a solemn occasion to confess his love to someone.

Listening to Chang Yongyi's words, Qi Ling pondered, "Actually, I have a question."

"What do you think is the difference between dating and before? If it's the same, why do you want to date?"

This is also the point of his confusion. He feels that he and Xu Chen are in a good state now. He has never been in contact with dating or anything, and he doesn't know what kind of state it is.

This natural fear of the unknown made him afraid to break his relationship with Xu Chen.

It also made him subconsciously want to stay put.

Chang Yongyi was a little dazed after hearing Qi Ling's words, "Your question is so strange haha..."

But seeing Qi Ling's serious expression, he thought for a while, and replied: "How should I put it! Before falling in love, it was more a process of mutual exploration and understanding, even if it felt ambiguous, but that layer was missing. The sense of security after piercing the window paper.”

"That's the kind. If you want to give the other party a real status and make yourself someone of hers, the confirmation of this kind of relationship will make you feel at ease, as if you have tied people by your side and become more intimate."

"Maybe after dating, we will discover more shortcomings of each other, but at the same time, we will also discover each other's bright spots. This is a process of mutual tolerance, and it is also the guarantee for the two to go on for a long time."

After Chang Yongyi finished speaking, he found that he seemed to be a bit of a mouthful, "Let me give you a few simple examples. After we get together, we can go out and play together, go to amusement parks, go to the movies together, and play some games together. If you are interested in each other, you don't have to spend as much time as before to find excuses to ask each other out."

"The relationship between lovers allows us to do everything reasonably, and we don't have to hide it."

Qi Ling murmured in a low voice: "So you can do so many things when you're in love?"

Before, he and Xu Chen mostly ate, studied, and kissed together. After changing their relationship, can they really do what Chang Yongyi said?

Whether it's true or not, almost every sentence Chang Yongyi said before touched his heart.

He wants to be someone with Xu Chen, not just a superficial and ambiguous relationship, he also wants to try all kinds of things that couples would do with Xu Chen, he doesn't want to make excuses to get close to him every time, he I want to be with Xu Chen for a long time, forever.

Chang Yongyi looked at him with a clear look, and couldn't help laughing: "I can still lie to you, but you look a little suspicious!"

Xie Kaiyu also echoed: "I felt tricky last time at the resort hotel, Qi Ling, if you are sure, don't forget to let us know! Don't you know it secretly?"

"Also, some things just follow your own heart, don't care too much about other people's eyes."

Qi Ling stared blankly at Xie Kaiyu, only to see him smiling and patted his head, not forgetting to hold down the curious Chang Yongyi, "Okay, it's time for class, listen carefully, don't disturb Xiao Lingzi Idea!"

After finishing speaking, he also set Qi Ling's notebook, "Don't forget to take notes this time!"

Qi Ling looked at the notebook in front of him, suddenly smiled lightly, nodded and said, "Okay."

At the end of the day's class, Qi Ling walked towards Professor Jiang's office with the milk tea that Chang Yongyi had invited in his hand.

The professor sent a message, saying that he was asked to come, and at the same time called other candidates, preparing to announce the final result.

Qi Ling saw that it was still early for the agreed time, so he went to the East District to feed the cat first.

Seeing the little guy in front of him scrambling to eat and not forgetting to rub his furry head against his palm, the tension in his heart also faded a lot.

Excluding Xu Zhou, the remaining few people are actually very good, and he took a slanted sword, and he didn't have much confidence in his heart.

Qi Ling breathed out, and after seeing the cats finished eating, he stroked their soft bellies. Seeing that it was almost time, he threw away the finished milk tea and walked towards Professor Jiang's office.

On the way, he habitually checked the official website of University A, wanting to see if there was any announcement about Xu Zhou's plagiarism.

This morning, the xx journal had already taken down Xu Zhou's article, and the school was short of an official statement.

He refreshed without hope, and suddenly saw the latest notification

A report on the plagiarism of Xu Zhou's thesis in Class 019731 of the Department of Economics and Management.

Qi Ling stopped immediately, walked under a tree, avoided glare, and clicked in to read the details.

—

After investigation, the thesis published by Xu Zhou from class 019731 in the xx journal was plagiarized.

1. The article will be taken off the shelves and all of Xu Zhou's academic awards will be revoked.

2. Cancel all previous grades of the student.

3. Give the disciplinary action of staying in school for inspection, and postpone the issuance of their graduation certificate and degree certificate.

During the observation period, if the student violates discipline again, the school will consider expulsion as a warning.

We respect the hard work of every student, and we will never allow plagiarism and embezzlement of other people's research results. We hope that students will learn from it!

——A University Academic Committee

When Qi Ling saw the punishment notice, the boulder that had been hanging in his heart fell down. He was actually quite afraid that because of Xu Zhou's background, the school would give him a lighter punishment. But seeing these, he knew that University A had made the ultimate decision. fair judgment.

Cancellation of grades and postponement of graduation is a very serious punishment for them who are now seniors, and it will be recorded in the student file. This stain will accompany Xu Zhou for the rest of his life, and it will never be erased.

Furthermore, this is especially embarrassing for Xu Zhou's status. He may not be able to hold his head up in the Xu family in the future because of this.

The corners of Qi Ling's mouth curled up, he didn't even bother to send Xu Chen a WeChat message first, and directly called him.

The phone beeped a few times, and when someone picked it up, Qi Ling immediately said, "Xu Chen, are you free today? I have something to tell you!"

Xu Chen listened to the undisguised smile in Qi Ling's tone, didn't ask anything, and replied: "I'm free, I'll go find you when I'm done."

Only now did Qi Ling realize that Xu Chen might be working at this time, so he hurriedly said, "Ah! I forgot that you are still at work now, let's talk later!"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chen looked at the person in front of him, the smile disappeared from his eyes, and said softly, "What do you need from me?"

Seeing him like this, Xu Hanhai's forehead twitched angrily. He came before the phone call, but Xu Chen just left him alone and was willing to talk to him only after the phone call.

He didn't have the heart to play around with Xu Chen, and cut straight to the point: "Did you expose the matter of Xu Zhou's thesis?"

The school said that a student reported it, and he didn't have time to find out who it was.

He had just returned from vacation and was sorting out work matters, but Xu Zhou came to him suddenly and told him that the school had found out about his plagiarism and asked him to find a solution.

He wanted to find Xu Chen last night, but this kid didn't answer the phone, and he wasn't at home, so he didn't see anyone at all.

It's the same at the company today. He has been in meetings all the time. He can't rush into the conference room to catch people out. He has to wait until now. But in Xu Chen's eyes, his own business is not as important as a phone call.

The more Xu Hanhai looked at this eldest son, the more disturbed he became. Xu Chen hadn't been close to him since he was a child, and even worse after her mother died. He didn't hear Xu Chen call him dad very often.

Xu Chen looked at Xu Hanhai's impatient expression, and said in an unhurried tone, "Well, I did it."

What Qi Ling did was no different from what he did.

When Xu Hanhai heard this, he suddenly became furious and slapped the table heavily, "Xu Chen, do you take my father seriously? Didn't you promise me that you would not tell about this matter before?"

Xu Chen looked at the distraught man in front of him, his expression unchanged, and his tone light and airy, "Oh? I agreed? But this is my thesis, Xu Zhou plagiarized, why didn't I expose it?"

"That's because you want to go back to your country! You..." Xu Hanhai stopped talking when he saw the sneer in Xu Chen's eyes.

"Yes, because you used means to detain my passport, I had to travel abroad for five years alone." Xu Chen spoke the next words on his behalf, "Because I want to live in my bedroom, because I don't want to let the My mother's favorite flower was ruined by the mistress, so I have to sell my hard work in college?"

Xu Chen's eyes were not warm, but he said these words with a smile, "Xu Hanhai, don't you feel ashamed when you hear this? What face do you have to question me?"

Xu Hanhai blushed, and retorted angrily: "Isn't all of this satisfactory to you? I also let you take the position of vice president as soon as you return to China. Now it's good, and you actually started to blame me?"

"Vice President?" Xu Chen sneered mockingly, "It's just because of my shares and identity, I should be in this position."

In the beginning, Xu Hanhai didn't intend to give him any real power at all. He relied on his own ability to bring the hot potato in his hand back to life, and only then did he have his current status and connections.

His project seems to have become the core of the company, and he can guarantee that the company will operate around this project in the next five years.

Xu Hanhai was speechless by Xu Chen, he gasped heavily, "You have grown up and your wings are stiff, I can't say no to you, but you have to be clear, Xu Zhou is your younger brother, if you do this, It’s obvious that we don’t take our family seriously.”

"It's also clearly against me!"

Xu Hanhai was so furious that he poked his neck and glared at Xu Chen, "If you still have my father in your heart, go and withdraw the matter of the thesis, and I will also take good care of Xu Zhou and prevent him from causing trouble again."

"We each take a step back."

Xu Chen looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar person in front of him, suddenly gave a low laugh, and said softly, "What if I say no?"

Xu Hanhai obviously didn't expect him to have such an attitude. After realizing it, he suddenly felt ashamed, and shouted: "Okay you! Xu Chen, do you really think you have some capital? I'd like to see Let's see how much you can endure!"

The door of the office was slammed loudly, Xu Chen lowered his head, looked lightly at the paper on the table that had just been scratched by a pen, the torn place was soaked and smudged with a long trace of ink, as if lying between him and Xu Hanhai The chasm is ugly and ridiculous.

Secretary Sun knocked on the door and came in. What he saw was Xu Chen sitting quietly on the office chair and meditating. He asked cautiously, "Mr. Xu, are you okay?"

Just now Xu Hanhai and Xu Chen had such a heated argument inside the house that they could hear it clearly even outside.

Xu Chen threw the paper on the table into the trash can, took a look at the document in Secretary Sun's hand with a normal expression, and signed it, "Keep an eye on the end of the project, there will be many derivative products in the future, let them not slack off .”

Secretary Sun nodded quickly, "Alright Mr. Xu."

He sneaked a look at Xu Chen's expression, but it was no different from before, only a little more indifferent.

But this indifference was diluted the moment the other party picked up the phone.

Xu Chen frowned: "It's already six o'clock."

Qi Ling sent him a message half an hour ago, saying that he was going to Professor Jiang's office. When he drove to University A, they should have finished talking.

But Secretary Sun thought that Xu Chen still had some tasks to do, so he quickly replied, "Mr. Xu, do you have any orders? Conference rooms No. [-] and No. [-] are empty now."

But Xu Chen looked up at him, "No need."

He closed the document under Secretary Sun's stunned eyes, and stood up, "I'll get off work first, call me if you need anything."

It's time for him to pick someone up.

Qi Ling is now in Professor Jiang's office, and there are also four students like him waiting beside him, and everyone waits with bated breath.

Professor Jiang saw their silence, smiled, and said kindly: "Don't be so nervous, even if you are not selected, you can come to me for any problems you encounter in the future. I will be very happy to communicate with you in the future."

As soon as Professor Jiang said this, the mood of the students present was greatly eased. It is very lucky to be a candidate, and it is a surprise to be able to keep in touch with Professor Jiang after this.

"However, before announcing the quota, I want to tell you one thing." Professor Jiang's voice changed, his face became serious, and he handed a notice to several people, "This is the notice just issued by the school, maybe you haven't had time yet See."

The official seal of University A is stamped on it, which is bright and dazzling.

Qi Ling knew what it was with just one glance.

Announcement of Xu Zhou's plagiarism.

But the others obviously didn't know about it, and couldn't help whispering after seeing it, their eyes were full of surprise.

"You must have discovered that Xu Zhou didn't come today." Professor Jiang said in a deep voice, "His paper is suspected of plagiarism, and even the project report he handed over to me is the result of other people's research. I will never allow such a person to be My students! Now that I mention this matter to you, I hope you will take it as a warning."

Ma Ziping looked at the announcement and his eyes lit up. Xu Zhou lost his qualifications, so his chances would be much higher!

However, Professor Jiang's subsequent words made his heart sink to the bottom.

Professor Jiang said slowly: "Now I should get down to business. I have read all your reports, and they are all excellent. I like every one of them."

"However, there is one article that really surprised me." Professor Jiang's eyes fell on Qi Ling's face, and he couldn't help admiring in his eyes, "I was not optimistic about the direction of student Qi's thesis, but I didn't expect him to study it so deeply. .”

Professor Jiang printed out Qi Ling's report a long time ago, "You can take a look at it. His whole article researches the points he wants to write very thoroughly, and the logic is also very tight. It makes people feel very comfortable to read."

Ma Ziping couldn't wait to get Qi Ling's report, the more he read it, the worse his face became, Qi Ling slammed the paper he submitted no matter in terms of topic selection or content.

The others were also surprised, and finally put the report back with a bitter face.

Professor Jiang had a panoramic view of everyone's reactions, and seeing that there was no objection from everyone, he concluded: "So, my final choice is Qi Ling."

After the others left, Professor Jiang left Qi Ling behind.

He covered his lips and coughed, "The report you submitted is quite good. I was a little prejudiced before, thinking that you were just trying to please me."

Seeing this, Qi Ling immediately replied politely: "The student is also a little overbearing, but I really like the content of your research, teacher, so I couldn't hold back, so I chose this direction."

"It's good that the teacher doesn't mind."

Professor Jiang was coaxed into a dizzy head by one teacher after another, and his face was smiling like a flower, "I asked you to stay here to ask if you have the energy to write another article for publication after finishing your graduation thesis. "

"You see, you know quite a lot about the socialist market economy. I even have several models that I find interesting, and I think we can study them in depth."

Qi Ling was stunned, "But teacher, I didn't include these contents in the report, how did you know..."

He stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking, "Teacher, has Xu Chen visited you?"

Also brought his other analysis content together?Do you want to give yourself more opportunities?

From the daily relationship with Qi Ling, it can be seen that Xu Chen is actually very strict in dealing with official affairs, and it doesn't seem like he would go to the back door to plead for others, but Xu Chen once again found his teacher from many years ago, wanting to satisfy his desire wish.

Qi Ling lowered his eyes to hide the complexities in his eyes, and slowly clenched the hand hanging by his side.

Xu Chen should know that Professor Jiang would not like what he did...

However, he still went.

Professor Jiang found out that he had slipped the tongue by accident, and Qi Ling immediately guessed it, and was immediately unhappy, "All of you are smart enough to die, but let me state in advance that I didn't accept you because of these supplementary materials. As a student, your report is indeed the one that moved me the most."

"Even if Xu Zhou's plagiarism hadn't been exposed, I would still choose you."

Qi Ling could hear the appreciation in Professor Jiang's tone, and immediately replied, "Thank you teacher for your approval."

Professor Jiang nodded, and Qi Ling's obedience was very helpful. He picked up the materials he had prepared a long time ago, and was about to continue discussing the topic just now, but Qi Ling said again, "Teacher, I have something to do today, you As I just said, can I come to see you tomorrow morning?"

Professor Jiang saw that he was holding back his anxiety, clicked his tongue, and waved his hand, "Okay, okay, I knew you would definitely go to him after hearing this."

This little guy's heart flew out after he knew that Xu Chen had come to help him hand in the materials.

After Qi Ling left the office, he couldn't help running all the way, he couldn't wait to see Xu Chen soon.

I want to tell him about Xu Zhou being punished for plagiarism, I want to share with him the fact that I was selected by Professor Jiang, and I also want to ask him why he secretly went behind his back to win for himself even though he knew he would be disliked by the teacher. Chance.

However, he seems to know the answer.

But he wanted to hear Xu Chen say it himself, and he also wanted to tell Xu Chen his own feelings.

When he was about to reach the gate, Qi Ling called Xu Chen. He ran too fast, bent down and put his hands on his knees, panting and asked, "Where are you now, I'll look for you."

"Run what?"

A familiar voice came from the phone, but it didn't seem to be.

Also, how did Xu Chen know that he was running?

Before he raised his head, he felt his hair being gently rubbed, and a shallow smile came from the top of his head.

"Don't look for it, I'm here."
