Autumn is coming, and the leaves are falling.

The weather was freezing particularly fast. Xu Shuangchuan had already turned out a sweater to wear, and met other students on the way, but saw that most of them were still wearing short-sleeved T-shirts and open jackets, and they were not afraid of the cold at all. The local old lady even wore a pair of thin tweed cropped pants with very wide legs under the windbreaker, and greeted her with a smile in the wind and frost, which made Xu Shuangchuan admire.

She's been busy lately, and two classes have just ended. One subject is an examination and the other subject is subject to a group report. As a result, she spends less time in the computer room, and she no longer spends more than ten minutes on the Internet after lunch, checking her email, and no longer logs in as soon as she goes online, because she has to concentrate on checking information on the Internet.

Xu Shuangchuan has a habit that is neither good nor bad, when she has serious things to do, she doesn't like to go online very much, for fear that her classmates and friends will come out to say hello and chat a few words, so that she can't concentrate on it, and her work efficiency is extremely low. There weren't many things at the beginning of school, but whenever she turned on the computer and went online, it was different now.

On this day, Chen Chi returned to the apartment, and after a brief dinner, a classmate called at eight o'clock to ask about something, and when the call ended, he put his mobile phone aside. After a moment, he picked up his phone again, stared at the date on the screen and frowned in thought. After a few moments, he couldn't help but pat his forehead heavily and hurriedly dialed the phone.

Xu Shuangzhen was a little cold sitting in a chair to review, and just wanted to simmer on the bed, when he heard the bell ringing, he was very surprised after seeing it: "Chen Chi." ”

"Frostfall, is it your birthday?" Chen Chi asked slightly apologetically.

Xu Shuang was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "No." ”

Chen Chi breathed a sigh of relief: "Then when is your birthday?" ”

"Yesterday."

Chen Chi was dumbfounded, and then explained rather hurriedly: "...... Didn't you say that it was falling in frost? I thought it hadn't been, I'm sorry. ”

"The frost falls a little bit every year, it's okay, thank you for calling."

Chen Chi paused for a moment, pursed his lips, and continued to ask, "Then how did you spend yesterday?" ”

"I didn't think much of it, I ordered a bowl of noodles by myself."

"Longevity noodles?" Chen Chi asked with a smile.

"Pasta."

Chen Chi hurriedly said: "It's all noodles, and the meaning is just as good." ”

"Thank you." Xu Shuangchuan chuckled, and her voice was very soft.

"Frostfall, I'll come over this weekend."

"This ...... I have an exam next week. Xu Shuang said in embarrassment.

"Next weekend, then."

Xu Shuang probably had other arrangements for next week, but it was not decided, she didn't respond, but asked with a smile: "Chen Chi, how are you doing?" Busy or not? ”

"It's still the same. What about the frost that falls on you? ”

In fact, the situation of the two sides has been communicated more or less online, and Xu Shuangchuan said the academic progress again: "There will be an exam next Monday, and there will be a report briefing on Friday, and I am very busy." ”

"It's good to be busy." Chen Chi was relieved and asked softly, "What are you doing now?" ”

"Review."

"Then I'm bothering you." Chen Chi said and advised: "Don't be too tired, go to bed early." ”

"Okay, goodbye." Xu Shuang said sharply.

Chen Chi opened his mouth, what he said just now was not to end the call, but to express concern.

"Good night." Chen Chi hung up the phone, rubbed his chin and sighed, why did he forget Xu Shuang's birthday? And so completely forgotten.

On Thursday night, Xu Shuangchuan sat in the computer room, anxious and worried. She was waiting for Anne, part of the group report was in charge of Anne, after the exam on Monday, the two met and communicated, they should have met again yesterday to put together the final report, but Anne said that something was wrong, and it dragged on until now.

Xu Shuangjiang looked at the four or five classmates sitting in the computer room, almost all of them were next to each other in pairs, the countertop in the middle of the computer was covered with information paper, and they discussed with each other softly from time to time, obviously they were all hurrying to make reports.

She eagerly checked her own section for grammatical errors and typographical formatting as she went online to knock on Nelly.

"Nelly, is your group's report complete?"

"It's done, the PPT presentation is ready, and I'm preparing for tomorrow's Q&A. What about you? ”

Xu Shuang's strength to type is almost gone: "I don't know Annie's part, she hasn't come yet." ”

"Poor Xu." Nellie poked her head out and looked at the rows of computers from afar, tilted her head and flattened her mouth, and made an infinitely sympathetic facial expression towards Xu Shuangxia.

"Xu, give you a hug, you still have time." Nelly was relieved.

Nelly is a modest and enthusiastic Spanish girl, who has worked with Xu Shuangchuan, who was not very confident in herself at that time, and when the two demonstrated their homework, Xu Shuangchuan volunteered to write down all the previous speeches and memorize most of them, while Nelly blocked two-thirds of the free questions.

Both of them are serious, and they get together almost once every two days to communicate the progress back and forth from the initial topic selection to the final draft. Nelly had a sprained leg and foot at the time, and it was inconvenient to walk long distances with crutches, so Xu Shuangchuan ran to her and her live-in boyfriend's residence with the computer on her back, and Nellie would make dinner for Xu Shuangchuan to bake a piece of pizza.

The assignment was evaluated excellently, and both of them were extremely satisfied with each other, but unfortunately the teacher encouraged different students to work together in groups every time.

Anne is not bad, probably she has practical difficulties. Classmates generally don't talk much about money, which is the most basic respect. Xu Shuangchuan guessed that Anne's living expenses were tight recently, because Anne couldn't find anyone after class, so she hurriedly rushed to another city to work. Xu Shuangchuan understood very well, so she had to wait patiently, and Anne was now rushing back by train.

"Frostfall, you're still in school?" Chen Chi knocked over in surprise. This week, he didn't meet Xu Shuangchuan online, he only knew that she was very busy, today he met a senior on campus who he hadn't seen for a long time, and after chatting for a long time, he wanted to go online to receive an email before leaving, and he didn't want to find out that she was online.

"Something. Are you also in school? ”

"I'll be leaving right away, how about you? Hurry back and get back, it's already dark. ”

Xu Shuangchuan smiled bitterly: "I'm in a hurry to do my homework, and I'll leave when it's over." ”

Chen Chi frowned and said, "How long is it?" ”

Xu Shuangchuan was even more distressed, if only she knew how long it would be, now she only hoped that Anne Shun would take out the other part, and then hoped that that part and the piece she was responsible for had no principled contradictions, and the two parts would be spliced together, at least a whole piece first.

Nelly and her group partner Alberto sorted out the desktop materials, both stood up, and when they walked out of the door, they all smiled and waved goodbye to Xu Shuangchuan who was envious in their eyes, Xu Shuangchuan raised her hand and waved it gently, maybe she looked particularly pitiful, Alberto teasingly clenched his fist and pushed it up, signaling Xu Shuangchuan to come on.

Xu Shuangchuan watched the two of them go out, retracted his gaze, and replied to Chen Chi: "It won't be long, you can go back." ”

Bian Yunman flicked over a line of words: "Frost falls, let's go together?" ”

Bian Yunman is a student of another major, one year older than Xu Shuangxia. The two girls happened to meet in the copy room once, and after they met, they usually got along quite well. Bian Yunman lives near Xu Shuangjiang's apartment, and can go on the same road on the return trip, sometimes beckoning to go together.
