Open book is beneficial

The voyage of more than ten hours spanned the entire Pacific Ocean.When the sporadic lights outside the window criss-crossed the vast land, Cheng Zhou moved his stiff limbs, and the anxiety in his heart rose to the extreme in an instant.

The chaotic memory fragments were spinning rapidly in my mind, and the feeling of deja vu was inexplicably born in the strange environment.Only then did Cheng Zhou frankly admit that he had returned to his life alone, a familiar past, but a brand new beginning.

----------

The morning alarm clock rang in the warm room, Cheng Zhou turned it off impatiently, turned around and squinted for a while.She, who was still in an elegant posture before going to bed last night, was lying at the end of the bed, her arms dangling restlessly on the edge of the bed.

It will start in 1 minute.Her eyelids moved, counting down the time in her heart.Five, four, three, two... Cheng Zhou closed his eyes and sat up cross-legged.

Get out of bed after 1 minute.Sitting with the quilt rolled up, Cheng Zhou started counting down again.

no sooner said than done. A minute later, she opened her sleepy eyes, opened the door with her slippers on, and stumbled to the bathroom to wash up.

Finally woke up.After combing her hair in the mirror in the bathroom, on the way back to the room, she knocked on the door next door: "Lulu, wake up."

Earth-shattering yawns sounded from the door, and a lazy female voice came slowly: "Sister, I'll get up right away!"

Cheng Zhou rented a small two-story house off campus, with a living room and kitchen on the first floor and two bedrooms on the second floor. She lived in a small bedroom, and a Chinese undergraduate student studying business lived in the master bedroom next door.

Classmate Wang Xinlu was still struggling in the room, Cheng Zhou went downstairs first and went to the kitchen to make breakfast for two and lunch for lunch and evening.After the steaming meals were boxed, Xiao Wang grinned and ran downstairs to wait for the meal to start.

"Sister, do you have omelets to eat today?" Wang Xinlu was holding a knife and fork, almost drooling.

"Yes, yes, it's just made, eat it while it's hot." Cheng Zhou brought two plates to the table, and Wang Xinlu got one for herself.

Xiao Wang's eyes lit up immediately after receiving the plate: "It's great, I'll give you more food expenses this month."

"Okay." Cheng Zhou raised his eyebrows.

Wang Xinlu usually doesn't like to cook, and mainly lives on restaurants and instant noodles.Since Cheng Zhou moved in, the kitchen was filled with the smell of food every morning, which made her so greedy that she repeatedly begged Cheng Zhou to make an extra serving for her every morning.

Cheng Zhou immediately said yes, but he had to charge money.

Wang Xinlu: "Of course I will give you money! Food shopping fees, processing fees, and tips are all essential."

Of course money is earned, and it's just a small matter of adding a pair of chopsticks. Cheng Zhou immediately became the chef at home cheerfully.

After eating her own breakfast, washing the dishes, Cheng Zhou put on his down jacket and was about to go out, when Wang Xinlu suddenly asked, "Huh? Sister, aren't you going to make a video call with your friends today?"

Cheng Zhou's hand stretched out to the doorknob froze, and then quickly regained his composure: "She is busy today with materials for tomorrow's meeting, and we will make a video tonight."

"Well, you doctoral students are so busy." Wang Xinlu couldn't help but sigh.

Cheng Zhou felt that studying for a doctorate here was not as hard as studying in China.

Accompanied by the creaking sound, Cheng Zhou pushed open the aged wooden door, a gust of cold wind poured in, and the surrounding temperature plummeted by thirty degrees.Shrinking her body and stepping on the thin white snow, she quickened her pace and walked to the school along the deserted path.

Open the door of the office, no one is in the room at this time.Cheng Zhou took out his mobile phone and checked the time. It is now 08:30 in the morning and 09:30 in the evening Beijing time.After switching the phone software to WeChat, she sent a message to Gu Yazhen: "It's time to start working~"

Gu Yazhen replied in seconds: "What a coincidence, I'm working too [呲牙], give me a kiss."

Cheng Zhou: "[kiss] [kiss]"

After a brief chat with Gu Yazhen, Cheng Zhou was full of fighting spirit and strong desire for work, as if he could graduate a year earlier because of this.

After spending more than an hour doing a set of experiments, she returned to the office again, and the students in the research group reluctantly came here.

"Serena, are you free now? Can I ask you two experimental questions?" Cheng Zhou finally met a Brazilian senior sister who was doing a similar subject with him, and hurriedly went to the computer to ask in English.

Cheng Zhou can be described as a role model in the group who is thirsty for knowledge. She has been in the group for three months, and she quickly got started with the experimental subjects, and everyone looked at her with admiration.

After the discussion, she returned to her seat to make up experiment notes.Not long after, the Chinese senior sister behind her suddenly asked: "Zhouzhou, I suddenly can't open an important file on my computer, can you come and help me look at it?"

"Okay, senior sister." Cheng Zhou stepped forward to check, and solved the problem three times.

In her spare time, she spends her time in the office teaching herself computer knowledge, which leads to the negative consequence that everyone thinks she can fix computers.

"Thank you so much! Young people's brains are easy to use." The senior sister let out a sigh of relief, her eyes widened with a smile, "Is Zhou Zhou free at noon? I'll treat you to a meal."

"No need, Senior Sister." Cheng Zhou shook his head, and the pen caught in the middle of his computer fell to the ground and rolled away.

In addition to Cheng Zhou, there are two Chinese people in the group, one is Zhang Kai, the senior brother of Bo San, and the other is Zou Wen, the senior sister of Bo San in front of him.When Cheng Zhou first came to Canada, she was not familiar with the place, and her senior sister helped her a lot in study and life, so she didn't have the nerve to ask someone to treat her to dinner.

Zou Wen took the initiative to pick up Cheng Zhou's computer so that she could lower her head to pick up the pen that had rolled under the desk on the other side.The ballpoint pen finally stopped next to an office chair, and the senior brother Zhang Kai who was sitting on the chair bent over to pick up the pen first, and handed it to Cheng Zhou with a smile.

"Thank you, brother." Cheng Zhou quickly thanked him.

Back to Zou Wen, she took back the computer and invited Zou Wen to her house for dinner at night.

"No, I promised my son to go to the night carnival at night. It's a pity to miss the chef's delicious dishes." Zou Wen sighed.

Cheng Zhou said he could understand.Zou Wen is 35 years old this year and has her own family. She studies during the day and takes care of her children at night. She has no freedom in daily life.

Cheng Zhou admires Zou Wen, a senior sister, and her life experience has given Cheng Zhou great encouragement and enlightenment.Zou Wen graduated from the second college with a bachelor’s degree, took the postgraduate entrance examination and went to the regular one to study as a graduate student. After seven years of graduation, he gave up his job and went to Canada to study for a doctorate. He has never stopped for more than ten years and practices it every day. Break the routine way of life and live a strong and unrestrained life.

It was also after going abroad to study for a Ph. D., and met more and more classmates and friends like Zou Wen, that Cheng Zhou realized how limited and narrow his previous thinking was.She originally thought that after graduating from a bachelor's degree at the age of 22 and a master's degree at the age of 25... living a regular life, she should get married and settle down at the age of 30.Who would have thought that the future could be so exciting.

Cheng Zhou didn't dare to tell Gu Yazhen about these thoughts.She felt that Gu Yazhen would probably laugh at her as a pedantic little Daidai.

Thinking of Gu Yazhen, her heart was suddenly sweet and empty.Having said that, Gu Yazhen's mouth has been getting worse and worse recently.Could it be because he realized that he couldn't hit her through the screen, and he didn't dare to yell at her, so he started to be bold and reckless?Cheng Zhou returned to his desk, pondering while processing the data.

After working until six o'clock in the evening, she packed her schoolbag and went home.Turning on the computer and dialing the video, Gu Yazhen appeared on the screen holding a big bear.There are familiar lights and walls behind her, and Cheng Zhou can tell that she is in the dormitory at this time.

"Good morning." Cheng Zhou smiled.

"Honey, good evening." Gu Yazhen smiled a little shyly in front of the camera, blushing all the way to the tips of her ears.

"Good evening, Mom." Gu Yazhen changed into a cute voice, picked up the bear and approached the camera to wave hello to Cheng Zhou.

"Good morning Yanyan." Cheng Zhou held his chin and said softly.

Gu Yazhen put down the big bear and stared at Cheng Zhou intently.

"Have you got all the meeting materials ready?" Cheng Zhou asked.

Gu Yazhen nodded: "Yes."

"What did you have for dinner last night?"

"Hmm..." Gu Yazhen rolled her eyes, "I ate broccoli and braised pork, and I still have a meal or two. What about you?"

Cheng Zhou curled his lips: "Tomato scrambled eggs are served on top of the rice." Anyway, the tomato scrambled eggs are prepared and placed on top of the rice, saving one bowl from washing.

Gu Yazhen's brows were curved: "Zhou Zhou's cooking must be delicious."

Cheng Zhou nodded seriously in agreement.Gu was very good at talking most of the time when he was three years old.

"I went to a meeting at the School of Materials yesterday, and one group made something really novel." After the two chatted about a lot of life topics, Gu Yazhen said suddenly.

"What direction are they going?" Cheng Zhou asked curiously.Gu Yazhen always disagrees with each other when talking about studies, she has long been used to it.At the beginning, she would listen patiently, but as her understanding of academics deepened, the two of them began to chat back and forth, several times even going straight into the night.

"Mainly study girlfriends."

Cheng Zhou: "???" Is Gu Yazhen serious?

"After the meeting, they asked me if I wanted to keep one as a souvenir, and I said yes, so I picked the most beautiful one and brought it back to the dormitory." Gu Yazhen continued solemnly, without any embarrassment on her face.

"What did you take her back for?" Cheng Zhou quickly pricked up his ears.Although she realized that Gu Yazhen was probably teasing her, she felt sour about what was going on.

Gu Yazhen actually fantasized about finding another girlfriend!Cheng Zhou was so wronged that he lost his shape in an instant.

"I went back and took a bath for her, wiped her clean, and went to bed. It was all right, but in the dead of night..." Gu Yazhen paused, and looked at Cheng Zhou's expression meaningfully.

Cheng Zhou: "..." It's too much, there is such a plot.What will happen next, she can imagine with her feet.After all, she did a lot of things like this.

"What happened?" Cheng Zhou gritted his teeth, she wanted to hear what was in Gu Yazhen's usual daydreams.

"In the darkness..." Gu Yazhen's tone suddenly became serious, and her eyes were full of mystery and faint excitement.

"You say." Cheng Zhou crossed his arms in front of his chest.

Gu Yazhen lowered her eyes and smiled slightly: "She is shining!"

Cheng Zhou: "...What are you talking about?" What kind of material is this girlfriend.

"I thought it wouldn't be too obvious, but I didn't expect it to look good when it's lit up." Gu Yazhen still said to herself, with a face full of excitement for scientific research.

Only then did Cheng Zhou understand, and he was speechless to the extreme. "Tell me, what material?"

Gu Yazhen showed a triumphant smile: "Eurium ion-doped aluminoborosilicate glass, referred to as aluminum boron europium."

Cheng Zhou couldn't help but touch his forehead: "Baby Gu, you are so naive." She couldn't even speak Mandarin correctly, causing her to turn into acetic acid bacteria for a second, and her body was bubbling with acid.

The person on the other side of the screen was still covering his mouth and snickering, Cheng Zhou narrowed his eyes threateningly, and said angrily, "I'm ignoring you, let's stop here today."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Yazhen sat upright and coaxed cautiously: "Honey, don't be angry, okay? I..."

"You?" Cheng Zhou tilted his head, following Gu Yazhen's words.

There was a blush on Gu Yazhen's face, and she lowered her eyes and said, "I'm giving you the 'girlfriend'."

Cheng Zhou's eyes lit up, and he nodded like a pounding garlic: "Okay, okay, come to me when the time comes, and I can hug left and right."

"Oh." Gu Yazhen pursed her lips, instantly dejected.

Cheng Zhou burst out laughing, remembering that Gu Yazhen was the well-deserved jealous god.

Seeing Cheng Zhou laughing at her, Gu Yazhen looked embarrassed, and shyly dared not look at Cheng Zhou. "Zhouzhou, I'm going to have breakfast."

Tsk, someone actually wants to slip.

Cheng Zhou looked at the time, the two had been chatting for an hour.She had no choice but to say goodbye to Gu Yazhen reluctantly, and let Gu Yazhen live.

After turning off the video, Cheng Zhou took off the earphones, there were two knocks on the door of the room, and Wang Xinlu's voice came from outside the door: "Sister, can you come?"
