silent garden

At the end of May, the school enters the final stage.The holiday time of each school of Pinggang University is considered early in the whole country.Some majors have already started final exams, and the students seem to be more diligent than usual.When Professor Ye came to the door of the laboratory early in the morning, he saw two students squatting in front of the garden next to the door, their heads next to each other, and they didn't know what they were researching.

He walked closer, heard words like "potassium nitrate" and "amide state", cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "Why, do you want to switch to agricultural chemistry?"

The two heads turned around in unison.

One of them was Xia Qi, who hurriedly stood up and patted his dirty hands: "Professor Ye, you are here."

The other said carelessly: "He came late, so we couldn't get in!"

This is Zhou Huailuo, a doctoral student brought by Professor Ye himself.It is said that he has skipped a few grades since he was a child, and he is only 21 this year.He's been out playing for the past three days, not in the lab.So, Xia Qi has only known him for 10 minutes.

Surprised to hear him say that.

Professor Ye is serious and unsmiling every day, and it is completely impossible to imagine joking with him, let alone talking badly.But Professor Ye didn't respond to Zhou Huailuo's offensive words at the moment.He waved his hand indifferently and opened the laboratory door.

The three entered the laboratory.

"Xia Qi, you go to prepare before class. Zhou Huailuo, report to me about your competition." Professor Ye said, and walked to the only empty table in the laboratory after speaking.

Zhou Huailuo rubbed his hands and muttered in a low voice, "It's annoying to ask me to have a small meeting again."

He is like a child who is spoiled by adults, but he is the kind of person who is told by adults to make complaints, no matter whether he is good or bad, and he has an innate sense of righteousness in him.Xia Qi instinctively avoided associating with this kind of people, he was not good at dealing with that kind of temperament, and he didn't want to show his uneasiness and embarrassment.

"I'm going to prepare for the experiment." He pointed to the workbench and said to the student who had just met and communicated only with the plants at the entrance of the laboratory and the usage and effects of several kinds of chemical fertilizers.

The latter sighed in his emotions, waved his hands, and went to work separately.

Xia Qi didn't know when the small meeting between Professor Ye and Zhou Huailuo would end. Later, Professor Ye came over and patted him on the shoulder, indicating to talk about it. He asked questions that had nothing to do with the experiment or project, but were expected by him.

"The person who picked you up yesterday belongs to the Sanjiang Group?"

Xia Qi nodded: "Well, Uncle Wang is me..."

"Do you know what the Sanjiang Group is in Pinggang City?" Professor Ye interrupted him, frowning tightly, showing strong opposition, as if he was facing a young man who had lost his footing.

Xia Qi's heart rose a little bit, and he stopped.

He knew what the Sanjiang Group was and what happened to the Sanjiang Group.When Uncle Wang introduced it to him yesterday, he still thought, it’s broken, it’s not the right time.But he had already been contacted, and Uncle Wang wanted him to live in Fei's house without a doubt, so he had no choice but to agree.

He figured, in just half a year, he would occupy a little space by being quiet, so that he wouldn't get along with that young master of the Fei family.In fact, it is estimated that it does not need to be combined.It was too late for Fei Tianlan to go home.

"Is it a relative?" After a while, Professor Ye asked again.

Probably thinking that he paused because he was frightened, his tone was a little gentler.

"Ah, no." Xia Qi recovered from his thoughts, and shook his head twice, "Fei from Sanjiang Group is always my dad's old comrade in arms. I'm here to participate in the project. My dad wants me to go and see it." Elders, I contacted them."

After hearing this, Professor Ye nodded in understanding, but his expression did not relax: "It should be. But why did you move out of the dormitory? The dormitory manager said, you took all your luggage away? Where did you stay last night?"

"I was just trying to find a time to report to you, yesterday..."

Yesterday, Professor Ye only stayed in the laboratory until two o'clock in the afternoon, gave Xia Qi proper guidance and left.

After finishing work in the evening, Xia Qi received a call from his adoptive father, Xia Weijun, asking him why he hadn't contacted his old comrades-in-arms, and he educated him on topics such as emphasizing emotional connection and respecting elders.

Xia Weijun is an honest person, and he never knew how to make things easier for himself in his whole life, and he would not curry favor with anyone for his own benefit.But Xia Qi has grown up, and there will be one more help in the future, so he actively persuades him to contact his most promising comrade-in-arms.

Xia Qi understood all this, and he didn't want to frustrate Xia Weijun's ardent intentions, so he obediently called Fei Sanjiang.Uncle Wang naturally answered the call, and when he heard the reason, the other party asked him to wait at the school gate without saying a word.

After waiting for almost an hour, Uncle Wang came by car.

"I'm sorry, I sent Lao Fei to the procuratorate just now, and I came late. Where is your dormitory? Clean it up, and I'll take you home." Uncle Wang recognized him, and arranged immediately.

Xia Qi stared straight at the hearing, opened his mouth but made no sound, not knowing what to reply.

Seeing this, Uncle Wang raised the corners of his lips to show a little smile, sighed softly, and explained patiently: "Old Fei has been investigated. The people from the procuratorate just went to his house to arrest him. I sent him with the car and returned a few It’s too late.” His eyes were comforting, “But you don’t have to worry, Lao Fei’s arrest won’t stop us from entertaining you, the child of a comrade-in-arms. Let’s go, get in the car, and move to your dormitory. "

Xia Qi moved her lips: "...Hello, Uncle Wang."

Uncle Wang was taken aback and laughed out loud.

"Uncle Wang also said that his son is the only one living in Uncle Fei's house now. He has been hit and stressed by such a big incident in the family. I can stay with him when I live in..." Xia Qi said, using He licked the corner of his lips with the tip of his tongue, and looked at Professor Ye helplessly and innocently with his eyes, as if that was the end of his words.

He came to Pinggang University to participate in the project because of the strong recommendation of his mentor, an old classmate of Professor Ye, and the latter's willingness to accept him was also based on his trust in his old classmate.His study, research, board and lodging here are all managed by Professor Ye.It stands to reason that if he wants to move out of school, he needs to get Professor Ye's consent first.

Now, he only hoped that this serious old man would not be too angry.

However, Professor Ye remained silent after listening to his words, showing no attitude.

The two of them were deadlocked for quite a while, and Zhou Huailuo, who had just run off to nowhere, came over holding a glass test tube, which contained a blue chemical liquid, which was Bordeaux mixture... really want to do agricultural chemistry?

Professor Ye pointed at him, and said to Xia Qi: "You have been here for so many days, and I don't have time to invite you to dinner. Let him take you to have a good meal tonight." Then he turned to Zhou Huailuo and said , "Receive Xiao Xia well, he is also your half-junior brother, the fee is mine, remember to issue an invoice."

Zhou Huailuo was overjoyed and smiled brightly like a flower: "It's easy to say!"

Professor Ye picked up his briefcase and left.

Zhou Huailuo is a very understanding person.

Xia Qi simply came to this conclusion from the 10 minutes of getting along in the morning.Therefore, he still has a good impression of Zhou Huailuo, and thinks that as long as he gets along with him for a long time, he will be included in the category of friends.Even if he can't cope with the temperament generated by being spoiled.

But this is not difficult to overcome if there is an active will.

For example, after school in the evening, Zhou Huailuo shook his mobile phone and said, "I've made a reservation, so I'll take you to eat here!" He didn't find the other party's attitude unacceptable like he did in the morning.

"Okay." He fully agreed without seeing which one it was.

However, a few minutes later, when Zhou Huailuo took him to the parking lot of the school, he realized that this easy-to-understand, innocent "half-senior brother" who seemed to focus on scientific research was a rich second generation who drove a Cayenne.

The rich second-generation senior brother had a slightly embarrassed smile on his face: "I went out to compete a few days ago, and I got home late in the middle of the night last night. I got up late in the morning. I drove because I was afraid of being late. In fact, I rarely drive..."

Xia Qi: "...it doesn't matter."

Saying it's okay at this time shouldn't be the wrong answer, right?

After the car was on the road, Xia Qi could tell that Zhou Huailuo's sentence "I don't usually drive much" was true.

He drove very cautiously and completely obeyed the traffic rules. Xia Qi was able to match his operation with the test questions one by one.The distance from Pinggang University to the restaurant is not too far. He drove the Xiao Er for 10 minutes when the road was clear.

It is not a small problem to park at the restaurant. In his words, "there are so many people today when there are obviously no people coming to the restaurant", so that the parking lot is quite full.After finally finding a parking space, it was still difficult to back in. The car behind had already honked its horn three times.

"How about I go down first and watch for you?" Xia Qi offered to suggest.

"Ah?" Zhou Huailuo's face was a bit dazed, and he asked suspiciously, "Is this possible?"

Xia Qi looked determined: "Yes!"

Zhou Huailuo seemed to really believe it, and said "Okay, you go down", Xia Qi then opened the door and got out of the car.

After Fei Tianlan pressed the horn for the third time, and the car in front was still clumsy and almost indifferent, he was already quite angry.If it weren't for the fact that the car in front was considered a good car, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't run into it directly.

He frowned and patted the car window button, and stuck out his head angrily: "Hey! You—"

A person got on and off the clumsy Cayenne, and turned around following his voice.The four eyes met, and each other was stunned.The one who got out of the car turned out to be the child who showed up at his house last night and left him breakfast this morning.

Since he is a person under the same roof, it is not easy to yell at him. He took a breath and suppressed his anger: "Oh, that...who, is your car okay?"

Xia Qi was separated by a car from him, the expression on his face subtly changed from surprise to other emotions after hearing this sentence.

Now that Fei Tianlan is not haunted by nightmares or intoxicated by alcohol, he realizes that this child's eyes are very vivid—meaning, these eyes have the ultimate expression.

When it is flat, it is colorless and tasteless.When frightened, it trembles like a small animal.When ridiculing and contemptuous, like just now, even if that look is just fleeting, people can still clearly read the words in his heart, "No brain stupid (), just make up a silly thing".

...well, maybe not that rude.But that's what it means.

"It's not my car, it's my classmate." Xia Qi walked closer to him, his previous eyes were gone, only a harmless calm remained, "My classmate is not very good at driving, I'm sorry, please give him some time."

Fei Tianlan stared into his eyes, motionless, as if trying to dig out something.Xia Qi was a little puzzled by his stare, his eyes were wobbling with confusion.

Fei Tianlan smiled and said, "I'll do it."

Then he really got out of the car, ran to the driver's seat of the Cayenne and knocked on the glass: "Little friend, let me help you."

He was handsome, with a smile on his face, and seemed quite friendly.

Zhou Huailuo trusted this kind-hearted handsome guy without a doubt, and handed over the car to him without hesitation.In less than half a minute, the car backed steadily into the parking space.Zhou Huailuo thanked him again and again, and after learning that this was Xia Qi's "landlord", he warmly invited him to have lunch together.

"If there is a destiny, next time." Fei Tianlan said politely, raised his wrist and glanced, and said, "I have an appointment with the leader, let's go first."

After running halfway, he turned his head and whistled to Zhou Huailuo: "Little friend, thank you for your breakfast."

Xia Qi smiled politely and said, "You're welcome."

Fei Tianlan shrugged his shoulders, and thought to himself, at such a young age, he was always duplicity, and he didn't know what kind of sinister thing he would become when he grew up.Sighing, he turned around and strode towards the VIP area of ​​the restaurant.

Zhou Huailuo looked at the back and whispered: "Wow, the VIP area! The VIP boxes in this house are very expensive, and the average person who brings their own drinks is two to three thousand. Your landlord is so rich! Next time you invite him, you must make a budget !"

...What kind of a simple mind would believe Fei Tianlan's nonsense.

Xia Qi sighed secretly, but didn't answer.

But later he realized how the people who were born in the core family of the Pinggang City shopping mall could be really innocent.It's just relative.The one who is really stupid and innocent is himself.
