Open book is beneficial

In the twilight, in the cold and damp stairwell of the undergraduate dormitory, a thin and frail figure dragged a heavy suitcase as high as his waist, and moved up the steps like a snail.At every corner, she would stop, panting and wiping the sweat off her face to rest for a while.

A couple passed by her chatting and laughing happily. The boy had a huge luggage bag on one shoulder, and his girlfriend, who was a little bird, was on the other arm.Seeing Cheng Zhou who was almost too tired to walk, the girl stepped forward and asked, "Student, do you need help?" Seeing this, the boy beside him quickly followed up.

"No thanks, I'll be there soon. You go up first." Cheng Zhou waved his hand and rejected their offer.She looked at the sign hanging on the wall, and she had already reached the sixth floor.

The young couple hesitated for a moment, but left first.Cheng Zhou sighed, and continued to carry the things up.Every time she went home, she would bring back an empty suitcase, and when she came back on Sunday, the suitcase would be so full that it would burst open.This time, Cheng Ma stuffed her with more than a dozen oranges and peeled walnuts, plus a few warm clothes. It didn't look like much, but it was actually heavy.There is no elevator in the dormitory building, and every time I come back is a torment and challenge.

"Zhouzhou—" Xie Feifei showed her head on the seventh floor, waving her arms towards Cheng Zhou.Cheng Zhou smiled, and carried the suitcase up to the seventh floor in one go, and suddenly felt that he looked like a mighty and majestic man.

After chatting with Xie Feifei and returning to the dormitory, Cheng Zhou took out oranges and walnuts and distributed them to several roommates.When Chen Junhan was away, Cheng Zhou put the snacks on her desk.

The sharp-eyed Zhong Qi saw Cheng Zhou put the last few oranges and a small bag of walnuts into a fresh-keeping bag and put them in his schoolbag.So she couldn't help but jokingly said: "Zhouzhou, are you going to send food to your boyfriend?"

"What kind of boyfriend, no one is serious. I sent it to the senior sister of the research group. It is not easy for them to take me to do experiments these days."

Cheng Zhou was a little shy by Zhong Qi's words, so he quickly put on his schoolbag and went out again.

Inside the door, Xie Feifei said to Zhong Qi with a mysterious face: "I bet a pack of spicy strips, the Zhouzhou girl will be pregnant."

Gu Yazhen sat at the desk, typing on the keyboard quickly.In front of her was a mug and a half-eaten bag of bread.Not far from the door, the reminder sounded for the elevator to open the door, and the soft sound of sneakers stepping on the tiles approached, she couldn't help but paused for a moment, with a little doubt in her eyes.

The sound of footsteps stopped outside the door, and the sound of metal crashing echoed in the long corridor.The doubt in Gu Yazhen's eyes was even worse, but the waves on his face quickly subsided and disappeared in a blink of an eye.She opened the drawer under the table and stuffed the bread in.

Seeing that the lights in the office were on, Cheng Zhou walked in and said hello naturally: "Sister, good evening."

Gu Yazhen was a little shy, she put her elbow on the armrest of the swivel chair inadvertently, nodded slightly and said, "Is Zhou Tian back?"

"Well, I just came back. I took a physical education class on Monday morning, and I can't come back in time tomorrow morning." Cheng Zhou approached Gu Yazhen, suddenly curious: "Senior sister, what are you up to? Can I take a look?"

"Look around. I'm helping someone write some code." The swivel chair beside him quickly moved away.

Cheng Zhou glanced at the screen, then straightened up, and scratched his head embarrassingly: "I forgot all the content of C++ programming after class, and now I know how to write header files and main functions..."

"It's okay, if you want to use it in the future, I can teach you." Gu Yazhen replied lightly.She seemed to be thinking about something, and her eyes were a little wandering.Cheng Zhou was a little embarrassed for a moment, feeling that he was hindering Gu Xueshen from thinking and studying.

"you……"

"Senior sister, I brought from home..."

The two voices sounded almost simultaneously.Gu Yazhen shut her mouth first, and quickly put on a focused expression of listening attentively.Cheng Zhou's mouth was faster than his brain, and after speaking a few words, his volume gradually decreased until it was barely audible.

"I'm sorry, senior sister, you go first." Cheng Zhou raised his hand and touched the bridge of his nose.

"It's okay, the young man will speak first."

Cheng Zhou felt that it was a bit cold for Gu Yazhen to say this complaint.Now that the senior sister said so, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and take out a bag of snacks from her schoolbag and said, "I brought you some oranges and walnuts from home, senior sister, take them."

Gu Yazhen took the bag, and Cheng Zhou inadvertently caught a glimpse of the gauze wrapped around the palm of her right hand. "Senior sister, what happened to your hand?"

"It's nothing, I bumped it in the laboratory last night." Gu Yazhen turned her eyes away, as if she didn't care.

Cheng Zhou looked at it and felt a little pain in his heart: "Is it really all right? Have you visited the school hospital?"

Gu Yazhen stared at Cheng Zhou's frowning brows and remained silent.After a while, she rolled her eyes and said lightly, "It's okay, I just can't peel the orange and eat it."

It seems that this is the case.It's just such a sweet and sour orange, it would be a pity if Gu Yazhen couldn't eat it.Cheng Zhou looked at the fresh oranges in front of him and volunteered: "When the senior sister wants to eat, I will peel them for you." Anyway, they are all in the office, so it is very convenient.

Gu Yazhen nodded: "Well, I should want to eat at noon tomorrow."

"...Then... I'll come over and strip you tomorrow after my physical education class." Cheng Zhou looked bewildered.

She had no intention of coming to the lab tomorrow at all.The senior sister is really caring, and even arranged the time for her.Although Cheng Zhou really wanted to peel Gu Yazhen's oranges, he always felt that something was wrong.

"Xiaozhou, have you had dinner yet?" Gu Yazhen asked casually.

"Not yet, how about you, Senior Sister?"

"What a coincidence, I haven't eaten yet." Gu Yazhen's eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on her face: "I said yesterday that I would treat you to dinner."

----------

Sitting in the spacious and bright restaurant, Cheng Zhou was a little at a loss.Gu Yazhen sipped her tea and sat in front of her with a calm expression.

When Gu Yazhen said she wanted to invite her to dinner, she insisted on not going at first.Senior Sister Gu took time out of her busy schedule to help her study, but she hadn't had time to thank her, so how could she ask Senior Sister to treat her to dinner instead?However, once Gu Yazhen's serious tone came out, how could Cheng Zhou dare to refuse her.

In fact, deep down, Cheng Zhou was flattered by such an invitation.The beautiful and wise god of learning wants to treat himself to dinner!If this story happened to Xie Feifei, she would probably be able to brag about it to others for several days.However, why would such an excellent person be willing to spend time with himself?Cheng Zhou has always had no confidence in himself, and he racked his brains but couldn't figure out why.

I don’t know since when, many chain restaurants like to make some new tricks on the dining experience, and today this one is no exception.After they placed the order with the waiter, a small hourglass for timekeeping was immediately added to the table, and pink sand flowed down from the neck of the bottle.In less than 10 minutes, before the sand was drained, the hot pickled fish, sizzling sizzling lamb and two appetizers were served.

"Hurry up and eat." Gu Yazhen handed Cheng Zhou a napkin and chopsticks.

Cheng Zhou looked at the sumptuous dining table and said with some regret: "The dishes are served too quickly. If the dishes are not served until the hourglass is finished, we will have yogurt to drink." Fast serving is one of the selling points of the store. When the sand in the hourglass runs out, but the dishes are not ready, the store will provide customers with free yogurt as compensation.

As soon as the words fell, Gu Yazhen raised her hand to signal the waiter to come over, and added two more bottles of yogurt.

Cheng Zhou lowered his head guiltily and chose to remain silent.She decided not to comment on the store's menu going forward.

"Senior Sister... you can eat first."

Gu Yazhen picked up the spoon, scooped up a piece of sauerkraut fish and put it in Cheng Zhou's bowl.

Cheng Zhou had no choice but to pick up the teapot and fill Gu Yazhen with tea.

Back and forth, a smile appeared in Gu Yazhen's eyes, and Cheng Zhou couldn't help but burst out laughing.The awkward and reserved atmosphere immediately became relaxed and cheerful.

Cheng Zhou told Gu Yazhen a lot of things around him, such as the love story between Chen Junhan and her boyfriend who sprinkled dog food, Zhong Qi's upcoming art exhibition in the city, and Xie Feifei's preparation for the TOEFL test to go abroad.Cheng Zhou's college life is very monotonous, basically studying and watching dramas in the dormitory.Her circle of friends is very narrow, and before joining the research group, she had a relatively close relationship with her roommates.

Today's Gu Yazhen is very restrained, she doesn't mention study and scientific research. Most of the time, she listens carefully with her eyes lowered, and the corners of her mouth will curl up when she hears something interesting.

"Senior sister, what do you graduate students do besides studying?" Cheng Zhou was curious.Under the subtle influence of the life of the research group, Cheng Zhou unknowingly put graduate school into his life plan, and naturally wanted to know more about the life of graduate students before that.

"I usually..." Gu Yazhen stopped her chopsticks, thought for a while and replied, "I don't do anything..."

Cheng Zhou: "..." Is it so scary?

Seeing Cheng Zhou's terrified expression, Gu Yazhen slowly added: "Just play the piano, and play ball with Yuning and the others occasionally."

Cheng Zhou found this answer much easier to accept.Although it sounds a bit lonely, it is not far from Cheng Zhou's current pace of life.It's just that people's way of entertaining... Cheng Zhou felt a little sad for a moment, let alone such an elegant music activity as playing the piano, she has no specialties at all even after taking physical education classes.

"Do you play the violin?" Cheng Zhou remembered the violin on Gu Yazhen's WeChat profile picture.

"Ah."

Xueshen can actually play the violin.Cheng Zhou has a new understanding of Gu Yazhen.Looking at Gu Yazhen's beautiful face and imagining her graceful posture playing the violin, Cheng Zhou was dazed for a moment.

"Xiaozhou, Xiaozhou?" A warm voice whispered in my ears.Cheng Zhou came back to his senses and found that Gu Yazhen was looking at him, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Is that your roommate over there?" Gu Yazhen pointed to not far behind Cheng Zhou.

Cheng Zhou looked back and found that Xie Feifei, Chen Junhan and Zhong Qi were sitting in a booth.Chen Junhan seemed to have told some kind of joke, and the three burst out laughing instantly. Xie Feifei even burst into tears, took off her glasses, picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of her eyes vigorously.

"Did I make you miss the dormitory party tonight?" Gu Yazhen curled up her left hand on the table, with an unpredictable expression on her face.

"No...it's okay. Shall I say hello?"

Gu Yazhen seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and nodded slightly: "Let's go together."

After paying the bill, Cheng Zhou took Gu Yazhen to the roommate's table to say hello.Zhong Qi sighed in surprise, what a coincidence, and wanted to pull the two of them to sit together.Gu Yazhen kept shaking her head and said that she was going to the office, so the three people in the dormitory gave up.

Before leaving, Zhong Qi asked Gu Yazhen for WeChat, and said that adding the god of learning would bring good luck.Gu Yazhen didn't say anything, she turned around and stared at Cheng Zhou, and Cheng Zhou was instantly stressed.

"Qiqi, I'll share the senior sister's business card with the dormitory WeChat group later."

"Okay, thank you Zhouzhou." The three nodded.
