At about nine o'clock in the evening, Qin Chuan, a junior student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, walked out of the rehearsal room of the Chinese orchestra with a bamboo flute in C tune, squatted in the corridor, gasping for breath.

Playing the flute too much can cause a lack of oxygen to the brain.

But what made Qin Chuan so uncomfortable was not the rehearsal that lasted for more than an hour, but a phone call from his sister just now.

"Brother, our mother is hospitalized again. ”

The four words of poverty due to illness seem to be the true portrayal of Qin Chuan's family.

I was hospitalized again and again, and tens of thousands of dollars were thrown in, and no matter how solid my family background was, I couldn't hold it.

Qin Chuan gasped vigorously several times to calm down his voice, then took out his mobile phone and called: "Dad, this time...... How much does it cost. ”

"How do you know? Alas, Miao Miao's big mouth called you again...... Don't worry, Chuan'er, there is still money at home. ”

Still have money at home?

Qin Chuan grinned, this was probably the funniest joke he had ever heard.

"Dad, what you said last time, the boss of the machinery factory in our city, didn't he say that as long as I promised to work for him for three years after graduation, he would be willing to advance my salary of 100,000 yuan?" Qin Chuan asked.

"No!" On the other end of the phone, although the middle-aged man was tired, he was still very resolute, "Chuan'er, you are going to enter the research institute, and if you are not good, you will also enter a big company, and if you become a big expert, your mother will never allow you to ruin your life for her, don't mention this matter, your mother will be angry!"

Qin Chuan didn't speak.

He didn't want to go back either.

But is there any other way?

Dongyuan University is a golden signboard, especially the Department of Mechanical Engineering, which is the top in China, and almost all graduates are gathered in the most sophisticated industries.

For many people in third-tier cities, they may not see a few serious graduates of Dongyuan University in their lifetime.

And the boss of the so-called machinery factory does not want Qin Chuan, but his signboard.

No matter where you go to talk about business, take Qin Chuan with you and say: "This is a high-achieving student who graduated from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Dongyuan University." "It's an instant look.

He Qin Chuan is a humanoid signboard.

But after graduation, if you spend three years in a small business with no technology and development prospects, you may be ruined for the rest of your life.

"Chuan'er, don't think nonsense, go to school hard, do a good internship, you will be a senior soon, review hard and take the graduate school entrance examination, you don't have to worry about family affairs, your mother has me to take care of it, you don't have to worry. ”

Over there, the middle-aged man, who was already approaching his limit, hung up the phone after saying a few words.

Qin Chuan covered his face and cried for a while, crying about his incompetence, crying about his selfishness, and crying about his cowardice.

Behind him, a voice came: "Lao Qin, what's wrong, come in and continue rehearsal!"

"Oh, good. Qin Chuan didn't show anything, just pinched the flute's hand, and the knuckles were already white.

......

The next morning, before it was very bright, Gu Xiaobai wrapped himself up as if he had no face to see people, and quietly came to the bamboo garden in the school.

This is a large bamboo forest, just over from the old building on the west side of the school.

There are many kinds of bamboo growing in it, including the baby panda's favorite arrow bamboo, the most suitable bamboo for bamboo weaving, the spotted bamboo, and the bitter bamboo with a single section that is particularly long, but because of the climate, not all bamboos grow very well.

At this time, it is summer, no matter how it grows, these bamboos are verdant, pink and lovely, Gu Xiaobai's saliva is about to flow down, how many experiments can be done with so many bamboos!

He sneakily burrowed into the bamboo forest, his eyes wandering back and forth, as if he were looking at the experimental materials in the laboratory, waiting for Linxing.

At this moment, Gu Xiaobai was suddenly stopped: "This classmate, what are you doing in the bamboo forest so early!"

Gu Xiaobai was at a loss.

When I looked up, I saw a serious man in a police uniform standing in front of me.

When he saw Gu Xiaobai's sneaky appearance, the policeman immediately became serious: "Please come with me!"

As he spoke, he moved behind Gu Xiaobai and blocked his way.

At that moment, Gu Xiaobai panicked.

Ah, what to do, what to do, I was caught doing something bad!

Wait a minute...... Haven't I done anything bad yet?

But I'm really going to do something bad!

But I didn't do anything bad, why was I caught by the police?

Gu Xiaobai was escorted by the person behind him, and when he reached the depths of the bamboo forest, he saw an old man with white temples and a blue face standing there, and there were two policemen and several security guards next to him, surrounded by three or four male and female students who wanted to cry without tears, and there was a bamboo forest behind them that was destroyed in disarray.

"Uncle policeman, we didn't do anything bad!"

"yes, why did you arrest us?"

"We just came to memorize words in the bamboo forest. ”

"The bamboo forest didn't say that it wouldn't let you in......"

The middle-aged policeman standing in the middle said solemnly: "We have basically grasped the suspect's movement trajectory through the surveillance, and locked several dormitory areas, please cooperate with us to do identity verification...... This student, what is your name, which major, class number, which dormitory, what do you want to do in Zhulin?"

The middle-aged policeman asked one by one, his eyes were blazing, and he was very serious, and he calmed down several students, and one by one he reported the information to Barra.

When it was Gu Xiaobai's turn, the policeman said, "This classmate, please take off your mask!"

Everyone looked at Gu Xiaobai suspiciously, after all, Gu Xiaobai was dressed like this, and he was clearly a bad guy!

Uncle Policeman, it's him, he's him!

The suspect is obvious, there is only one truth!

Gu Xiaobai obediently took off the mask.

"Xiaobai?" the middle-aged policeman and the old man next to him exclaimed at the same time.

Gu Xiaobai was at a loss.

The middle-aged policeman knew that his face was not remembered......

He said helplessly: "Xiaobai, you don't remember, we have met twice before......

"Oh, hello Uncle Policeman. A very perfunctory answer, apparently still not remembered.

As soon as the middle-aged policeman showed a smiling expression, he saw several resentful students next to him looking at him.

"Ahem, Xiaobai, we still need to verify the information, please cooperate. The middle-aged policeman quickly replied with a serious face, "What do you want to do when you come to the bamboo forest?"

"I ......" Pure, upright, well-behaved and naïve Gu Xiaobai was entangled for a few seconds, whether to lie or not.

Finally, I decided to be an upright person: "I ...... Want to steal ...... No, I'm looking for a piece of bamboo. ”

"Why?" said the middle-aged policeman with a serious face.

"I deduced a frequency formula for the sound hole of a flute and wanted to verify it......"

"That's right......" The middle-aged policeman didn't expect to hear this answer.

"Good boy......" next to the old man's face, "Honest, smart, inquisitive, and know that you come to me to ask for bamboo, but to make a flute, you can't use this, come on, I have a lot of good materials, I'll pick what you want......"

The old man dragged Gu Xiaobai away with a kind face.

Next to him, several classmates who were also arrested complained with a sad face: "Uncle policeman, can we go......"

"No, the investigation hasn't been completed yet!" the middle-aged policeman looked impartial in enforcing the law.

A few classmates burst into tears, the world is really unfair......
