Xu Can looked at her and asked softly, "How long will you work in Oxford?"

"Tentatively two years." Tong Mingyue didn't ask her where she got it from.Just answer honestly and gently.

Xu Can paused, remained silent for a few seconds, and said with a shallow smile, "Congratulations."

Tong Mingyue didn't speak.

Xu Can: "Then... are you free tomorrow?"



The next day.

Xu Can took the ingredients for a long time and came to make lunch for Tong Mingyue.

She was not allowed to do anything, but she was stipulated that she must watch carefully from the side this time.

"Tomatoes don't need to be cut to look good. Just cut them into two and separate them. It is very convenient to crush them with a shovel when they are fried in the pot, and they are delicious."

"It's best to add a few drops of rice wine to the egg liquid to remove the fishy smell, but it doesn't matter if you don't have it."

"..."

Tong Mingyue stood obediently like a primary school student, watching Xu Can cook.

The light came in from outside, making her eyes very bright, so bright, like beautiful glass beads.

The corners of her lips curled up slightly.

From time to time, there will be an "um" to indicate that you are listening.

But his eyes were distracted and fell on the side of her face, and there was a hidden tenderness in his eyes.For a moment, he gently lowered his eyelashes.

Only ten minutes later, the two vegetables and one meat, plus the most time-consuming fried rice with eggs, were ready.

Serve on the table.

Xu Can only cooked a few of the most homely dishes this time, and his level was not as good as usual.

Because she deliberately skipped all the troublesome steps.Simplify and simplify again, the difficulty of a few dishes is only a little higher than cooking instant noodles.

"Have you learned?"

Xu Can asked seriously.

Tong Mingyue nodded, and said softly, "Well, I remember."

Xu Can pursed her lips, with a clear smile in her eyes, watched her smile quietly, and nodded: "That's great."

"If you're tired of dining halls and restaurants, let's cook occasionally..."

Xu Can looked up at her, and said in a low voice, "Please, please take care of yourself."

Tong Mingyue pursed her lips and didn't answer for a moment.

"..."



The light shines through, and the bright floor-to-ceiling windows can clearly see the students passing by in twos and threes under the office building.

A few camphor trees were gleamingly lit, and the gaps between the treetops cast broken spots of light on the ground.

"Professor Tong, do you really not want to bring one or two graduate students with you?"

Secretary Hou blew on the tea leaves in the teacup, feeling a little strange, "Aren't there any good seedlings this year?"

Tong Mingyue lowered her eyes, holding the newly printed document in her hand.

A little absent-mindedly said: "The students I want to teach refuse to follow me."

"What about this kind of students?"

Secretary Hou took a sip of tea, gently poohed the tea leaves back into the teacup, sighed and said, "It's all worrying, I will release the list of insurance research institutes here soon, and a girl who ran out said that there is no insurance research, and I want to go abroad."

Tong Mingyue stood up, ready to leave first, and asked casually: "Which student is not going to graduate school?"

"Xu Can," the secretary said leisurely as he had nothing to do today, shaking the newspaper, "I'm still waiting for her to come over and give me the letter of commitment."

Tong Mingyue: "..."

She heard the words and sat back.

As if not in a hurry to walk for a while, I was talking about some things.Secretary Hou was chatting, feeling strange, and asked her implicitly if she had nothing else to do?Tong Mingyue smiled, "I have nothing else to do today."

Less than a quarter of an hour passed.

There were three polite knocks on the open office door.

Secretary: "Please come in—"

Xu Can was holding a form promising to voluntarily give up his postgraduate qualifications. As soon as he stepped in, before his eyes could focus, he turned to Tong Mingyue who was sitting upright.

The line of sight meets.

She looked straight at her, as if she had been waiting for her for a long time, or it was just a coincidence.

"..."

The relaxed smile on Xu Can's lips froze, "I'm sorry, I went wrong."

Withdrew like a conditioned reflex.

"..."

Xu Can confirmed that there was indeed nothing wrong with coming to the office.

She stood outside the door and opened her mouth, dumbfounded, not understanding why she ran into it by such a coincidence.

Confused, he wanted to wait outside for her to leave.

Or go in and hand it in later?

"Didn't you come to hand in the letter of commitment?" Director Hou roared, "What went wrong, you came to get it for me, Xu Can! Did you leave?"

Xu Can: "..."

She took a deep breath, without looking sideways, and walked in slowly.

Pursing her lips, without looking at Tong Mingyue from the corner of her eye, she handed the letter of commitment to Director Hou with both hands: "It's all filled out."

"Hey, don't leave in a hurry," Director Hou stopped her, confirmed the contents of the order with his eyes, and said, "Have you figured it out? Finally, I will give you a chance to regret it."

Xu Can said briskly, "Think clearly."

"Your behavior of not guaranteeing the number of guaranteed research places is still worthy of praise. Well, are you going to the United States? Which schools do you want to go to?"

Xu Can was unfamiliar with him, so he smiled awkwardly.

From the corner of her face, she noticed that Tong Mingyue was looking at her, and said vaguely: "... Anyway, it's just those few schools."

Secretary Hou still looked dissatisfied.

After chatting with her for a long time, he finally changed the subject and mentioned the scientific research project she participated in in her sophomore year.Bonus points are only counted as one work, and can be accumulated. Xu Can could have added five points in the first place.

"Let's leave your work to your classmates. Gu Yi can use it."

Xu Can was stunned for a while.

Thinking of the first year in the same dormitory, Gu Yi secretly showed off that her father had dinner with the secretary.

Unexpectedly, her father was still having dinner with the secretary after almost graduating.

"..."

Tong Mingyue hasn't spoken since she came in, and sat quietly in the corner facing the door.

Suddenly he said, "One work?"

Xu Can thought for a while, and it seemed that Gu Yi was indeed among the research group projects he entered at that time.But everyone is going their own way.

She hadn't had time to speak yet.

Tong Mingyue asked again: "Do you want to use her work?"

She turned her gaze to Director Hou who put down the newspaper and picked up the teacup to drink water.

"Hey," Director Hou said in a very natural tone, "then she won't be guaranteed research, and the extra points won't be needed."

"If you don't use it, it's a waste."

He didn't expect Tong Mingyue to intervene in this matter, so he thought about it and said: "Well, then I will ask some old professors to write two letters of recommendation for her, which will also be very beneficial for her to go abroad. Yes Both students are fine."

"Letter of recommendation?"

Tong Mingyue raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly: "Don't bother, Xu Can has no shortage of letters of recommendation."

Xu Can pursed his smile, his eyes crooked.

He tried his best to keep a well-behaved silence and couldn't laugh.How...why is she so...

"..."

The brief conversation was blank, and the air was silent for a few seconds.

"Then her extra points are really useless. Why, instead of wasting them, it's better to give them up. Giving to classmates is also a kind of spirit of helping others." He was a little anxious.

He put aside Tong Mingyue, and wanted to directly attack the silent Xu Can: "You are also willing to help your classmates? Isn't that right?"

Xu Can was stunned.

I was wondering if I should answer "not willing" or "very unwilling".

"..."

Tong Mingyue didn't even bother to tell him whether or not these contents were useful in the materials.

Tong Mingyue moved her eyes and said slowly: "Stealing other people's achievements and not giving sufficient explanation to others' contributions is the worst."

"Secretary Hou, you are misconducting scientific research."

The tone was a cold warning that Xu Can had never heard from her.
