Dear People·Hua Chen

I give you my whole soul, with all its eccentricities, pettiness, flickering, eighteen hundred kinds of ills.It's nasty and only a little good, love you.

The two-day skiing trip came to an end in no time.

Xiao Linzi, who doesn't like sports at all, certainly didn't learn any key balance skills, but the two of them had a good time playing and messing around on the flat snow slope.

After enough rest and returning to busy work and study, people are much more energetic than before.

His entries are progressing very quickly and he is full of confidence. He is planning to wrap up these two weeks and transfer his main energy to the thesis.

Who knew that after checking the information in the research institute and browsing the campus network by the way, I saw an extremely unexpected post.

is Eric's entry draft and concept art.

Although the style is quite different from my own, it uses exactly the same glass material and circular structure. Even a layman will definitely feel very similar at first glance.

Without exception, the posts below are all the compliments from undergraduates, and some teachers’ messages of encouragement.

Because the mentor was busy with the pre-retirement procedures, Zhou Fanyi's existence was really troublesome, and Xiao Linzi tried to be completely self-reliant. As a result, Xiao Linzi never showed the design draft to anyone other than Chen Lu.I didn't expect that it would collide with the content announced by Eric. If they go to the competition at this time, the two fellow students will definitely attract a lot of discussion. If they are labeled as plagiarism, it will be even more unclear.

At this moment when he was feeling tangled and confused, Eric happened to follow Zhou Fanyi to the design room, and said hello, "Lin, didn't you go to the snow mountain with your husband for vacation, and you came back so soon?"

"En." Lin Yilin nodded, turned off his computer screen, and greeted politely: "Hello, teacher."

Eric smiled and asked: "It's about time, if you see the design concept drawing I posted on the forum, please give me some advice."

Lin Yilin looked at him for a moment, then curled the corners of his mouth: "I think it's very good, a unique idea."

Eric asked again: "Before you said that your design is almost finished, when will you see it?"

Lin Yilin wanted to question for a moment, but noticed Zhou Fanyi's caring eyes and didn't speak. He lowered his head and packed his schoolbag: "...you are busy, I still have something to do at home."

"Are you going to leave just now?" Eric looked surprised.

Lin Yilin passed him by indifferently, without answering.

Zhou Fanyi, who witnessed the whole process, adjusted his glasses thoughtfully, remaining as stern as usual.

-

How could there be such a coincidence in the world?

The reason why Xiao Linzi planned to design a glass building was because he wanted to seriously commemorate Chen Lu's French origin. When he went to Paris, he was deeply impressed by the scene of Iowing Pei's glass pyramid reflecting the sunset, so he started writing.

However, the application of this popular element has no absolute evidence to imitate or not to imitate.

Lin Yilin, who just wanted to do what he liked quietly, quickly gave up the doubts and entanglements in his heart, and did not intend to have any unpleasant verbal disputes with Eric.

On the contrary, Prince Lu saw him redrafting the draft at night, and felt curious: "Isn't the glass concert hall to be competed unfinished?"

Lin Yilin, who had recovered to normal, raised his head and smiled: "I want to change my mind."

"The previous one was very good. Is it too late to change it now?" Chen Lu was even more puzzled.

"Forget it if it's too late, why give to others what you're not satisfied with?" Lin Yilin was too aware of the young master's character, knowing that he would explode if he found out, so he behaved calmly.

"Don't stay up late, as long as you are happy, I won't bother you." Chen Lu has always allowed him to have [-]% freedom in these matters, touched his beloved wife's face, and went downstairs to watch a movie with coffee.

Xiao Linzi who stayed alone in the study shook his head helplessly, he could only rely on his own efforts and resign himself to fate.

After all, Tang Mei's competition is just icing on the cake for him, there is no need to forget your heart because you care about gains and losses.

-

The graduate school is not heavy in terms of the number of courses itself, so Chen Lu insisted on accompanying Xiao Linzi from the moment he entered school, auditing all his professional courses.

Anyway, the knowledge of finance is relatively easy for the young master who has been doing business with Yan Qingwei for several years.

From the academic level alone, Zhou Fanyi is indeed outstanding enough, otherwise Yan Qingwei would not have deliberately introduced him to Xiao Linzi.

The complicated and difficult theoretical courses were explained in a simple way under the explanation of this professor, and even Chen Lu, who was listening in, could understand them very well.

But the level is the level, and the ability is the ability. The young master still looks at this boring teacher very disliked.

Lin Yilin noticed Chen Luhuang's disdainful gesture and felt his hostility, so he couldn't help but pat this guy lightly and cast a warning look.

After all, his black history of deliberately provoking Zhou Fanyi in class is no longer once or twice.

Unexpectedly, Chen Lu grabbed Lin Yilin's palm in an instant, and he didn't let go.

Xiao Linzi's face turned red as he tugged under the seat, and Chen Lu let it go with a smirk.

Lin Yilin was so angry that he immediately moved to the side and continued to listen and ignore him.

After the get out of class bell rang, Zhou Fanyi closed his textbook and said, "There are still three class hours until the final exam. Please arrange a review time. If you have any doubts, please email me."

Thinking that he would never have to see this old man again, Chen Lu felt relieved, immediately packed his things and urged Xiao Linzi to leave.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Fanyi started the routine of "Lin Yilin, please stay for a while" and called them to stop.

The other students immediately dispersed without any surprise.

"Wait for me." Lin Yilin shook Chen Lu's hand reassuringly, and followed Zhou Fanyi's pace and said, "What's the matter, teacher, that Ph.D student..."

"No, I'll show you a friend." Zhou Fanyi calmly led Xiao Linzi all the way to the office, opened the door and said, "Good afternoon, I've been waiting for a long time."

A young man dressed stylishly and with a smile on his face stood up, his single eyelids curled up to make people feel very friendly: "Hey, this is your lover?"

Very pure Beijing dialect, but a strange face.

Lin Yilin didn't understand, so he nodded politely: "Hello."

Zhou Fanyi put down his notebook and said, "This is the new president of Tangmei Company, Li Chengfeng. Didn't you sign up for their company's design competition? If you have any questions, please feel free to talk to him."

It is not the first time that he has received such convenient treatment, but Lin Yilin will never take the professor's kindness for granted, and replied in a low-key manner: "Yes, but my plan has not been decided yet."

"Don't be restrained, chat casually." Li Chengfeng was unexpectedly very friendly: "I'm not a few years older than you."

Lin Yilin, who had already decided to withdraw from the competition, felt the pressure in his heart, but he could only pretend to be calm and entertained for a while, then refused the dinner and left.

He made His Royal Highness wait for a long time, he was very sorry, almost ran back to the classroom as hard as he could, and pushed the door panting: "I'm back."

Chen Lu was chatting leisurely on Facebook with someone on his mobile phone, when he heard the sound, he raised his eyes and asked, "What is he doing?"

"Bring me to meet a senior." Lin Yilin didn't want to describe more and more darkly, he simply answered, and then smiled: "Let's go, go home."

"If you don't have anything to show courtesy, you can either rape or steal." Chen Lu commented.

Xiao Linzi was helpless: "Using idioms indiscriminately, your Chinese is good again?"

Contrary to Zhou Fanyi, no matter what network resources Chen Lu has, he will not deliberately open the door to Lin Yilin, even if he is helping, he will never intentionally let his beloved wife know half of it.

After all, if you love someone and can't even protect his self-esteem, it is really a failure.

Chen Lu has already understood the truth of Xue Linlin very thoroughly during the love process.

-

It took two full months for the previous glass building to achieve a satisfactory design result, but this time there are only two or three weeks left. It is not easy to completely overturn and start over.

Lin Yilin, whose plan was completely disrupted, was not only very tired, but even a little anxious.

Although he didn't stay up late because he was afraid that the young master would be worried, he was always tossing and turning in bed and couldn't sleep.

The terrible character of perfectionism requires a heavy price.

-

Even if there is no verbal communication between people who have lived together for a long time, they can still feel each other's emotions through those indescribable details.

Although Lin Yilin didn't show any signs of being unhappy, Chen Lu still felt that there was some trouble in his heart, and his whole state seemed very strange.

This doubt was suppressed in his heart for half a month, and it was only by chance that the doubt was resolved.

That day was Zhou Fanyi's last class, and it was also the last class of this year's graduates of the Architecture Research Institute.

All the students seemed a little excited, chatting and discussing their graduation trip before the class started.

Chen Luben accompanied Lin Yilin in the front row to look at the information on New York real estate, and continued to choose his future home. He suddenly heard a girl tell Eric about the glass concert hall, and he couldn't help pricking up his ears sensitively.

"Eric, I think you have a chance to win the bonus this time." The unattractive girl obviously liked the star's son, leaned next to him and boasted: "I carefully read the other announcements on Tang Mei's website. Design drawings are not as ingenious as your glass shells."

"The amazing people haven't submitted their manuscripts yet. The deadline is at the end of the month, so I'll watch it then." Eric smiled triumphantly: "I'm not very interested in the prize money, but the No.1 work will be adopted by Tang Mei. But it is a great honor.”

"Really not interested? Then give me the bonus." The girl said she didn't believe it.

Although [-] grass-mud horses were galloping in his heart, Prince Lu, who was no longer as impulsive as he was when he was a child, just frowned slightly, learned to plan, but didn't say a word.

Still immersed in the entanglement of the new house, Lin Yilin took his hand and asked: "What do you think of this, I like white stone buildings, and the yard can be filled with roses."

"Okay." Chen Lu regained his gentle expression, glanced at Eric imperceptibly, and then curled his mouth towards Xiao Linzi: "I like whatever you like."

Lin Yilin immediately saved the agent's phone number of that house in his mobile phone, and closed the thick advertisement brochure in his hand with satisfaction to prepare for class.

-

Chen Lu is not a guy who is interested in reading. He does things neatly and with a strong purpose. He would rather spend his time on real money-making behaviors than sit in class and listen to the professor nagging The emphasis on those "truths".

To a large extent, coming to Princeton to be gilded was just to satisfy Yan Qingwei's request for face.

So he never cared about the usual school activities, and he never logged in to the campus network at all.

It wasn't until this time that I became suspicious of the construction competition that I called the school office to ask for my account password, and browsed to the webpage of Xiaolinzi's research institute to look it up.

The design draft that Eric revealed during the New Year has already become a popular post, and most of it is full of praise.

Chen Lu, who was lying on the sofa, was of course very upset when he saw the content, and immediately left two words in Chinese: "Ha ha."

Fortunately, the lazy Prince didn't even change his nickname, but only displayed a string of numbers, otherwise the normally lively campus network would have exploded because of the appearance of a big celebrity.
