dogma

Rather than saying that Cao Hui and Shen Chunlan were arguing, it was better to say that it was Cao Hui's unilateral accusation and protest.

Shen Chunlan handed over the resignation letter to the head of the department only yesterday.The head of the department was dragging his suitcase to prepare for a business trip, and when he received his resignation letter, he was so shocked that he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Just an hour ago, the dean of the department called him back and told him that he accepted his resignation request and would ask Cao to come back and hand over the work to him in detail.

Shen Chunlan knew it was not good when she heard it.Cao Hui is preparing for his wedding recently. He is in a good mood and energetic. This incident will definitely disrupt his work schedule.

Sure enough, not long after putting down the phone, Cao Hui rushed into the office.

"Why is it the Talent Planning Bureau!" Cao Hui looked at the table with his fingers, "It is in competition with our New Hope, and you probably don't know it. You didn't even think about going to the Talent Planning Bureau to study before the postgraduate entrance examination, why? Now I was suddenly poached away... Was it poached? They paid more money than New Hope, right? Shen Chunlan, don’t tell me no, if it wasn’t for you, you are really stupid! How good you are in New Hope Ah, didn’t the national project also pass the application?”

Shen Chunlan looked at Cao Hui quietly, thinking whether to tell him the truth.

The head of the department obviously didn't tell Cao Hui the real reason for Shen Chunlan's resignation.The resignation letter only wrote "personal reasons". When submitting the letter, Shen Chunlan faced the head of the department and told him frankly: "I am in a relationship with Rao Xinghai, so I am not suitable to be his teacher anymore."

The head of the department's reaction was beyond Shen Chunlan's expectations.The white-haired old man did frowned instantly, but he didn't criticize or question. The first question he asked was - "Is it because you taught him that he agreed to fall in love with you?"

The moment she heard this question, Shen Chunlan realized that the head of the department didn't really agree with the "discipline".

"No." Shen Chunlan told him that Rao Xinghai had a long history with him.His fondness for Rao Xinghai did grow from getting along, but it didn't arise during the training process.

Every time he taught Rao Xinghai individually, all the records would go through the hands of the head of the department before being handed over to the school.The head of the department knows the content and process of the training, and he also knows that Shen Chunlan is gradually letting Rao Xinghai open up and build more relationships with others.

Obviously, all of these are beneficial to Rao Xinghai.The change of the sentinel was clearly seen by all the teachers in the department who had contacts with him.

But the head of the department's worries began after the preliminary competition of the skills competition.People from the Crisis Office came to him to investigate matters related to Nie Cai.

It wasn't until then that the head of the department knew that he had always believed that Nie Cai's one-on-one instruction to Shen Chunlan was reasonable and effective, but Nie Cai actually exerted an indelible negative influence on Shen Chunlan.

"Mr. Shen, you should think about it again." Before leaving, the head of the department advised him, "You have just started, and there is still room for turning around. For us special human beings, it is not easy to find a good job."

But Shen Chunlan was not on a whim.He spent a lot of effort in order to get an offer from the Talent Planning Bureau.

The important reason why he finally got the letter of appointment from the Talent Planning Bureau was the recommendation of Gao Tianyue from the Crisis Office and Qin Ge, the spiritual counselor.Shen Chunlan's resume was able to bypass the harsh barriers and directly came to the person in charge of the Talent Planning Bureau.

Cao Hui was still talking, his voice getting higher and higher.

"Frankly speaking, the education major you studied back then focused on sentinel guides. Except for New Hope, there is no special school for sentinel guides in China. The talent planning bureau doesn't even offer a major in cognitive science, only some basic courses. How is this suitable? What about Chunlan?" He still couldn't guess the reason, "Will the Talent Planning Bureau assign you a house?"

Shen Chunlan couldn't help laughing.Cao Hui is busy with the decoration of the new house, and all he thinks about is the house.

"Rao Xinghai and I are in a relationship." Shen Chunlan said, "So I have to leave. Of course, if I apply to be transferred to another department, there should be no problem. The director of public relations management also hopes that I can help, but I think , Forget it, it’s better to cut it completely. In this way, whether it’s me or him, the possibility of being criticized will be much lower.”

Cao Hui was completely dumbfounded.

The next moment he almost jumped up from the chair: "You are stupid!"

Shen Chunlan: "I have seriously considered it."

Cao Hui: "He hasn't graduated yet... No, a student who has just entered college, are you worth it!"

Shen Chunlan: "Does this count?"

Cao Hui was so angry that he walked away. "I know he has plans for you, but you can't... When did it start?" Cao Hui was about to cry, "Why don't I know anything!"

"It's been almost two months."

"It's only been two months, and you're going to resign for him?!" Cao Hui almost jumped up again, "Are you really a fool?"

Facing his dissatisfaction, Shen Chunlan remained calm.The two have been close friends for many years and know each other well. He understood that Cao Hui just couldn't accept it for a while.

But Cao Hui asked the right question.In just two months, he decided to resign for Rao Xinghai and go to work in another strange place, and the job content is not exactly the same as now.

Although I often hear people say that there are many possibilities when you are young, as long as you don't die, everything has hope.But Shen Chunlan is not a fan of health-preserving chicken soup.He knows that the older a person is, the higher the cost of trial and error, and if he makes a wrong choice, he cannot start all over again.Taking risks requires impulsiveness as well as courage.

He didn't know if his move was a risk.But he did hesitate when weighing both ends.

He understands that he is not someone who cannot live without love, and neither is Rao Xinghai.Maybe they could walk the world as whole people apart from each other—at least from the outside, they were whole.

But someone had poured out deep love and admiration for him.It's the emotion that can completely turn the course of another person's life around, it's so strong it's overwhelming.Someone loves him sincerely, from the bottom of his heart, in a vulgar way mixed with innocence and strong desire. Shen Chunlan has no doubt that he will always remember Rao Xinghai's confession: I yearn for you, I like you, and I want to be close to you.

He was shaken, and the reverberation haunted his life forever.

So although he hesitated, he didn't hesitate for too long.

"I know he likes you..." Cao Hui was babbling again, "...but you are dating him, what do you want?"

"...I don't know." Shen Chunlan asked with a smile, "When you fell in love with Wen Jing, did you think about things like this?"

Cao Hui turned his face away: "I am very happy with her, I am happy."

Shen Chunlan: "Then I am too."

Cao Hui: "He is your student."

Shen Chunlan: "...I want to see where he will live in the future and what good things will happen."

He also wanted to know if Rao Xinghai had caught all the candy he had stuffed into Rao Xinghai's hands by the Jianjiang River a few years ago, how much candy he would get, and what kind of life he would have.

Knowing that she had changed Rao Xinghai's life, Shen Chunlan also wanted to know what kind of platforms and scenery the changed life would pass through, and where it would eventually arrive at.

He wanted to go to the distant end with Rao Xinghai.

At the end of Cao Hui's speech, Shen Chunlan's eyes turned red when he saw him.Fearing that he was going to cry, Cao Hui bid farewell and left in a hurry, which made Shen Chunlan feel very uncomfortable.

Two street lights on the school road were broken, and he rode his bicycle slowly around the school, trying to remember everything he saw.

During the summer vacation, he will move out of the dormitory and has to rent a house outside, because the Talent Planning Bureau currently has no vacant dormitory for him.Then he had to tell his family. He guessed that his brother must be happy, and he would show his catchphrase and say something like "I said that the development prospect of the Talent Planning Bureau is better than that of New Hope".

The study room was brightly lit and full of people.A few years ago, Shen Chunlan also sat here, preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination as nervously as everyone else.

The library is like a bright Rubik's cube, surrounded by lush green trees.The roses in the flower beds are at their best blooming time.The underground people and the half-zombie exchange students come and go at the entrance and exit of the underground passage, and there will be lectures in the underground library tonight.

There is an endless stream of couples on the Kissing Bridge. How to kiss passionately here without disturbing others requires skill and a bit of cheek.

There was a cry of frogs in the pond, Shen Chunlan wondered if it was Zhou Shifei's.There was deafening singing in the nearby auditorium, and he remembered that Luo Yan's orchestra was holding a farewell concert here tonight, because the three core members were about to graduate.

The evening wind blew his shirt, and Shen Chunlan stopped.He went back to the downstairs of the dormitory and found an unhappy Rao Xinghai sitting beside the flower garden.

Putting the bike away, he walked briskly over. "I'll give you a key tomorrow," he said.

Rao Xinghai didn't look up: "Aren't you going to leave?"

Shen Chunlan: "..."

He didn't expect to let Rao Xinghai know so soon.Although this matter was related to Rao Xinghai, Shen Chunlan believed that it was always his own choice.The deeper he got to know Rao Xinghai, the more he found that although the sentinel often said some ridiculous things, in fact, he was not dull, but not good at expressing.

Rao Xinghai is a sensitive child, he can quickly detect Shen Chunlan's emotional changes, but all the comforting words or at the end are just "do you want to see the snake dance".

He didn't want to put pressure on Rao Xinghai before everything was finalized.

"Yeah." He sat beside him and held Rao Xinghai's hand. This was the first time he directly expressed intimacy with Rao Xinghai in school, "I resigned. From next semester, I will be the talent planner Bureau teacher."

Rao Xinghai's fingers moved, vainly circling his.

"...Is it because of me?" Rao Xinghai whispered, "I wanted to find you, but I heard Cao Hui and you were arguing."

Shen Chunlan: "It's not a quarrel, it's communication between friends."

Rao Xinghai: "I'm sorry."

Shen Chunlan doesn't need his apology.He said firmly, "Don't say such things."

Rao Xinghai finally turned to look at him.Shen Chunlan's heart softened: his sentinel's eyes were red.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Shen." Rao Xinghai said hoarsely, "I don't want you to sacrifice so much for me."

The answer has long been in Shen Chunlan's heart. "To me it's not a sacrifice." He kissed the sentry's finger. "It's just a choice."

Choose Rao Xinghai, choose a more difficult life, choose to find more sugar with his sentinels, in a life that is unclear about the length of life.

Rao Xinghai looked at him, his eyes were shining brightly.Shen Chunlan was full of regret at the moment: How could he forget the first encounter with Jian Jianghe?No one could resist Rao Xinghai's gaze.

"What if you regret it?" Rao Xinghai sniffed.

Cao Hui thought that Shen Chunlan jumped into the abyss for the joy of love, saying that he was willful.Shen Chunlan couldn't find a rebuttal at that time, but now he can suddenly answer: Even if he is capricious, he admits it.Because I have never been willful because of love, Rao Xinghai recklessly rushed into a rational, stable, and well-behaved life. This bit of adult "willfulness" made Shen Chunlan feel that he was alive both in body and soul. .

Of course he can say some sweet words of love to Rao Xinghai, forever, forever, and so on.But he didn't.He opened his arms and embraced the young Sentinel.

He will be willful again.

"If you make me regret it, I will never forgive you," he said.

Rao Xinghai gasped, and suddenly hugged him tightly, as if he wanted to press him into his body, exerting all his strength suppressedly.He kissed Shen Chunlan's ear, and a barely audible whimper flowed from his throat: "Me too."

The night wind brushed over the flowerless crabapple trees, brushed against the bones of the house, and went into the quiet night.

Thousands of lights, thousands of blessings.Even though many years have passed, Shen Chunlan did not regret his choice at that time: he gave Rao Xinghai a lot of candies, and Rao Xinghai gave back the best and longest one.

In July, after Rao Xinghai helped Shen Chunlan move, he immediately picked up his luggage and got on the high-speed train to Tianjin with Yang Deyi and Wang Wensi.

Wang Wensi chattered endlessly along the way, Rao Xinghai was sleepy, and Yang Deyi started sending messages to the handsome station manager who had exchanged contact information when he entered the station. Having lost his audience, he started chatting with the elder brother across the aisle.

When they arrived at the station, the two of them still couldn't get enough of their thoughts: "So fast?"

Yang Deyi couldn't understand: "Why are you teasing the elder brother? You teasing the little girl!"

Wang Wensi's pursuit of Tang Ying failed before, and this semester began to launch an offensive against Luo Yan.When Luo Yan's orchestra held a farewell concert, he took Wanli Longyou and a camera to the auditorium to watch the performance, and frantically took photos and videos.In the end, the lead singer of the orchestra who was about to graduate confessed his love to Luo Yan on the spot. Luo Yan kissed the handsome guy, and Wang Wensi's heart broke instantly.

But he is careless and has no temper. Recently, he seems to have started to praise a cute junior sister at the same level in the Department of Civil Engineering again and again.

"Who is teasing? Who is teasing?" Wang Wensi rolled his eyes at him, "The eldest brother is a staff member of the Celebrity Theater, and I can help you two get autographs from Deyu Club."

Yang Deyi: "I don't want to sign! I want Dabieye!"

Wang Wensi: "Okay, let's go. My house is a bit far away, and the subway takes an hour."

When the three of them went down the subway platform, Yang Deyi suddenly came to his senses: "Wait, Wang Wensi, your father is the boss, and there is no private driver to pick him up?"

Wang Wensi: "The subway is fast, listen to me."

His house is indeed a villa, but it's not the kind of luxurious single-family villa that Yang Deyi imagined that covers an area of ​​an island.

"This is my aunt's house, this is my aunt's house, my second dad..." Wang Wensi introduced to the two people behind him, "The building next to the river is my home."

After leaving the subway station, the three of them dragged their suitcases and walked under the sun for nearly half an hour, and finally saw a townhouse by the river.

Yang Deyi didn't exercise too much, and was sweating profusely at the moment: "My god, this is too far away! Wang Wensi, does your whole family live together?"

"Almost." Boss Xiao Wang took the two of them to admire in front of his villa for 2 minutes, "Let's go, move forward."

Yang Deyi: "...?!"

It is true that Wang Wensi lives outside alone, but it is not a villa, but an ordinary apartment.He comes home almost every week and lives in his own apartment, so the apartment is well-stocked, cleaned regularly, and tidy.

It took another half an hour to walk from the townhouse to the high-rise apartment building by the river.Yang Deyi's schoolbag had already been transferred to Rao Xinghai's body. Even so, he sat down on the floor immediately after entering the room: "My god, I'm so tired. I haven't walked as much as I did today in a semester."

He paused, and sighed while taking off his shoes: "It's really not easy to work."

Rao Xinghai: "Have you started working yet?"

Yang proudly corrected: "It's really not easy to prepare for a part-time job."

After the two settled down, they were reluctant to go out.Wang Wensi told the two of them that he had some conflicts with his family last week, and it is not convenient for him to bring his friends back to the villa to play. This is another blow to Yang Deyi: "Then can we still visit your Dabieye?"

Wang Wensi: "Do you really want Karma?"

Yang Deyi: "Forget it, the river view room is also good."

The three of them showered and washed their faces in a hurry. The chef from Wang Wensi's family came to the door and brought a table full of delicious dishes.

Yang Deyi made a judgment: "I think your family welcomes you back."

Wang Wensi used chopsticks to separate the thoroughly stewed leg of lamb and snorted.

The three of them ate and drank enough, took a nap, and when they woke up, it was already dark.Wang Wensi finally summoned his driver, picked up the three of them in an Audi, and sped towards Tianjin Eye.

"This is Master Zhang. Just follow me and call me Uncle Zhang." Wang Wensi introduced, "This is my two friends, Yang Deyi and Rao Xinghai, who are coming to Tianjin to join the Deyu Society."

Yang Deyi and Rao Xinghai: "..."

Master Zhang's face changed: "Where is the De Fish Club? That De Fish Club?"

Wang Wensi: "That's it. You have to keep it a secret from them."

Master Zhang: "Hey, Wensi, didn't you quarrel with the boss because of the Deyu Society? Why are you two friends..."

Yang Deyi was surprised: "Arguing about a cross talk club?"

Wang Wensi: "My dad doesn't like Deyu Club."

Rao Xinghai waited for his next sentence, but there was nothing for a long time, even he was surprised: "Can this be noisy?"

Wang Wensi: "That's not nonsense! This is the principle!"

The three ate too much at noon and were too full, so they decided to go shopping first and have fun.Wang Wensi took the two of them to watch the cross talk at the right time, and they were hungry halfway through, and the melon seeds were knocked one after another.

Rao Xinghai also sent a small video to Shen Chunlan while watching it. Yang Deyi kept poking his head to see who he was chatting with, but the person remarked that he was a "little mouse" and he didn't know him.

After listening to a few cross talks, the three of them were hungry, so they went out for a walk, and ate pancakes and barbecue on the side of the road.Only then did Wang Wensi think of their business: "Where are you going to work?"

Rao Xinghai recalled: "The Uncharted Aquarium."

Wang Wensi: "Shenhai?!"

Yang Deyi was munching on octopus claws and nodded: "Yes, have you been there? That's just right. Although we have an address, it's more convenient for you to lead the way. I have to go to the interview at [-] o'clock tomorrow, and I will start the job if it suits me."

Wang Wensi's expression was not right: "How did you find this part-time job information?"

Yang Deyi: "My sister gave it to me. She saw it in the Douban summer vacation part-time job group. Is it a black shop?"

Wang Wensi: "It's not a black shop, but there are a lot of negative news. The Shenhai Aquarium is very bad for animals. Last year, a sea turtle had a foot injury. It was not cured, and a foot was amputated. A few days later, it was wrapped in a bandage. Come out to perform, it's too miserable."

Yang Deyi understood: "If it's so bad for animals, it must be no better for employees."

Rao Xinghai: "Aren't we the explainers and guides of the herbarium? It should be better over there, right?"

Wang Wensi: "I went there when I was a child. There are indeed a lot of weird things there, but we have a better aquarium here than Shenhai, so gradually not many people go there."

But when Yang Deyi and Rao Xinghai stood in front of the Shenhai Aquarium the next day, they realized that Wang Wensi's past impression was completely wrong.

It was less than eight o'clock at this time, and there was already a huge queue of people in the square in front of the aquarium.

Yang Deyi and Rao Xinghai turned around to find the person who posted the recruitment information, and the person said that he didn't need it. "The lecturer and guide are enough, and there are two cleaner positions. The requirement is to be able to swim. Do you want to do it?"

Yang Deyi immediately hesitated, but Rao Xinghai had already replied: "Do."

Soon, two sets of cleaners' uniforms were handed over to them.

Shaking off the clothes, Yang Deyi found something strange: "This is a one-piece suit? Huh? Why is the material the same as a diving suit?"

"The one you are going to clean is Hall F." The man led the two of them around the corner again, and got into a small door.

Inside the door is a huge circular room, two-thirds of which is a pool, and the rest of the land is covered with dark brown stones.The water in the pool was blue. Yang Deyi leaned over and looked down, and found that the pool was very deep.

"There is only one pool in Hall F, and this is here. This place is two floors high, and you can watch the dynamics in the water on the first floor. We have the second floor here, and you can watch the dynamics of the land." The man urged, "The museum will open in half an hour. , you divide the work, and clean up the first and second floors."

Yang Deyi and Rao Xinghai understood that they were standing in a huge cylindrical glass jar, and only the second floor—that is, the place where they were standing now—was accessible.There are stairs for tourists to go up and down on the first and second floors of the glass jar. Visitors can walk around the glass jar and watch the…

"Wait, what kind of animal is installed here?" Yang Deyi asked.

The man was standing outside the door, talking on the phone, but his voice was not heard.

Rao Xinghai picked up a dark blue scale from the edge of the pool.The scales are like extremely thin jade, transparent and beautiful. "Big fish," he said.

Yang Deyi changed into her cleaning clothes, put on her diving gear, and jumped into the pool.

The water in the pool is cold and has a faint strange smell, which is different from the natural water body.Yang Deyi swam to the center of the pool and looked back, and found that the big glass jar was actually quite realistic, no matter whether it was in the water or underwater, it looked like a real seaside environment.

Rao Xinghai had already started sweeping the floor, Yang Dezi swam around, and suddenly heard the sound of something coming out of the water behind him.He was taken aback, and swiped forward a few times before he dared to look back.But there is nothing behind.

"Rao Xinghai!" He trembled, "I'm afraid... what are you doing here? There's no rubbish in the water."

Rao Xinghai: "But I don't know how to dive."

He stopped suddenly, his eyes straightened, staring behind Yang Deyi.

A mermaid was sitting by the pool, watching Rao Xinghai and Yang Deyi.

He had obviously just come out of the water, and was wet all over. His hair was a faded silvery white, slightly curly, and the ends were submerged in the water, shaking with the waves.

He tilted his head slightly, with no expression on his handsome face, and raised his hand to tear off a piece of aquatic weed that was wrapped around the fish's tail.There were some missing scales on his fish tail, Rao Xinghai remembered the one he had just picked up.

It wasn't the mermaid that Yang proudly looked at.

His eyes fell on the mermaid's hands, and there was a Rubik's cube in those slender, white hands that were almost sickly.

The author has something to say:

On the troupe's program today is the joint performance of the Black Nose Sheep and the Red Panda.

Luo Yan: My black-nosed sheep has never worked with a red panda, so what?

Wang Wensi: My little panda cooperates with you.

Luo Yan: Then...sing rock and roll?

Director Liang: Ah, no, today is Wang Wensi's stand-up comedy show, and the black-nosed sheep and the little panda are just acting cute in front of the stage.

Luo Yan:? ? ?

Backstage after the show.

Director Liang: Are you satisfied with my arrangement today?Luo Yan seems very interested in your cross talk.

Wang Wensi stuffed money into her hand: Really!Then I am very satisfied!

The two smiled: happy cooperation, happy cooperation.

However, on the second day, Luo Yan and Black Nose Sheep left the troupe without saying goodbye, and eloped with a passing rock singer.
