After Bai Shutong left, Jiangcheng ushered in the rainy season, and it rained continuously for several days. Shao Yuanguang's old injury recurred, and his whole leg inevitably ached in the damp environment.

Gao Qi examined him several times and did many pain-relieving treatments, but the symptoms were not cured.

"The climate of Jiangcheng is like this, you have to suffer at this time of year." Gao Qi thought and smiled, "Do you want to consider living in another place?" I think the United States is very good, and I don't plan to take a vacation in the past? ”

Shao Yuanguang ignored his nonsense, got up and moved off the bed: "Prescribe me some painkillers." ”

"You can't take too many painkillers." Gao Qi typed out the prescription on the computer, and did not forget to make up the knife, "I can cure the leg pain, but I can't cure the heartache." ”

Shao Yuanguang glanced at him, took the prescription slip and turned around and went out-

After the rainy season, Jiangcheng began to get hot. Shao Yuanguang's leg disease has been repeated, even if it is hot, he can't blow the air conditioner, and his life is very difficult.

When Yan Shiqing and Tao Min heard about it, they invited him to go out to investigate and relax.

The course of Jiang University was basically over, and Shao Yuanguang didn't want to stay here to see things and think about people, so he agreed, and followed the two of them around the country, but they also collided with a lot of research sparks and diverted some thoughts about Bai Shutong.

In early autumn, the three of them went to Hangzhou for a meeting, and when they were boating on the lake, Yan Shiqing felt and said: "It is said that the happiness index of Chinese people is low now, and I think it is the same." Yan Shiqing said and made a color towards Tao Min and asked her to look at Shao Yuanguang.

Tao Min turned his head to look over, Shao Yuanguang looked silent, didn't say much, and pinched a small teacup between his fingers to taste the West Lake Longjing, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

His appearance is different from a year ago, or even Shao Yuanguang two or three years ago.

Tao Min shrugged, "Therefore, positive psychology urgently needs to attract the attention of domestic scholars to study why it is so difficult for Chinese people to feel happy." Tao Min said, thinking of something, and stretched out his hand to push Shao Yuanguang, "I heard that David has invested a lot in positive psychology recently, is it inconvenient for you to invite him to come to China to give a lecture?" ”

Shao Yuanguang came back to his senses and was stunned for a moment, not knowing when they shifted the topic to academics. He cheered up, glanced at Tao Min, and asked her, "What did you just say?" ”

Tao Min sighed helplessly and glanced at Yan Shiqing.

Yan Shiqing suddenly smiled: "Xiao Tao, don't dislike Yuanguang, you were like this when you fell in love." ”

"Elder Yan, look at what you said." Tao Min smiled, "I wasn't as scheming as him at that time." You don't know, he thinks too far, I heard he gave Little White to David as a student. ”

"Oh?" Yan Shiqing glanced at Shao Yuanguang, "That's good." David was Yuanguang's doctoral supervisor, and the girl followed David, and was considered his junior sister in terms of seniority. ”

"That's not even scheming." Tao Min smiled, "Isn't Chris a doctoral student, and Xiaobai is a childhood sweetheart." He also went to the United States, guess who Chris introduced to him? ”

Yan Shiqing felt strange when he heard it, and he was even more curious, he glanced at Shao Yuanguang, who was silent on the side, and asked, "Who?" David? ”

"How so." Tao Min also glanced at Shao Yuanguang, and saw that his eyebrows were tightly locked, but he thought it was interesting, so he said, "It's that Steven." He's been to B University for meetings before, you've seen it. ”

Yan Shiqing thought about it for a moment and reacted: "Isn't Steven a student of David?" ”

"Or he's scheming. Xiaobai raised his rank for no reason, and now Xiaozhuma has to call Xiaobai his aunt when he sees it. ”

Yan Shiqing laughed when he heard this, and pointed at Shao Yuanguang: "You can!" I can't see that you still have this ghostly mind. ”

Shao Yuanguang smiled helplessly: "It's rare to have a chance, you can make fun of it." ”

Yan Shiqing smiled, and still said: "But you still have a vision, it is indeed a good choice for her to follow David to study for a doctorate, and the direction of positive psychology will make a lot of achievements in the future." Yan Shiqing patted Shao Yuanguang on the shoulder as he spoke, "It's good to survive these two years." ”

Shao Yuanguang took a sip with a smile and didn't explain too much-

Thanksgiving was approaching, and Shao Yuanguang called David. David was very excited to hear Shao Yuanguang's voice, and talked to him a lot about his current situation.

Shao Yuanguang chatted with him for a long time, and asked him hesitantly: "How is Xiaobai doing?" Is there a way to study? ”

"She's not bad, not as bad as you say." David smiled, "Although the foundation is not as good as that of American students, it is very down-to-earth and diligent. ”

David said this, and Shao Yuanguang was finally relieved. He asked a few more questions, and was about to hang up the phone when David suddenly asked, "Chris, didn't you say you liked her?" Why don't I see you in action? ”

Shao Yuanguang was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Didn't you find that she already has a boyfriend by her side?" ”

David thought about it for a while, and indeed saw Bai Shutong many times, and she was followed by a Chinese boy.

"That's ...... Steven's exchange student? ”

Shao Yuanguang responded and added: "He is also my doctoral student." ”

“whatthefu|ck！ (What the hell)" David couldn't help but swear a swearing, "And you're just looking at that?" Or are you waiting for them to break up? ”

"David, I'm conflicted. On the one hand, I hope that they will break up, but on the other hand, I don't want to, I am afraid that if they break up, Xiaobai will feel sad. Shao Yuanguang smiled self-deprecatingly and asked him, "Are you sorry to have a student like me?" ”

David was blunt: "I'm really disappointed in you. I knew Chris who had no scruples, and he dared to criticize my words to my face in order to prove that he was right. But now, you are shrinking your head and tail like this, and I really don't agree with it. If you really like her, you should sue her directly, choose to break up or not to break up, that's her decision. ”

Shao Yuanguang admitted that what David said was right, and he was timid in the face of Bai Shutong. "You're right, but don't forget that we are not Americans. In Chinese public opinion, third parties are very blamed, both men and women. At the same time, the person who accepts the third party, everyone will be merciless to her. Although I am not afraid of anything, I can't throw all the problems at her, and I can't let her make such a dilemma. ”

This cultural difference exists, and David respects but disagrees with it. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "You can come to Pennsylvania for a lecture when necessary, and I'm more than welcome to do it no matter what the situation." ”-

David put down the phone, and there was a knock on the door.

He said please come in, and Bai Shutong pushed the door in.

"Prof.Kaplan, this is my recent research progress, I have encountered several problems with the actual yàn control......"

Bai Shutong handed the printed text to David, pointed to a few of the variables, and was about to dig deeper, David raised his hand to interrupt her, "Tong, it's been a few months since you came here to study for a PhD, and I can see that you work harder than anyone else." But I have a question......"

David looked at her and smiled, Bai Shutong was uncomfortable with him, and he also smiled and asked him, "What's wrong?" ”

"I heard that when you were at Jiang University, you weren't very interested in research, and you were so-so, is that right?"

David has always spoken straightforwardly, when he said this, Bai Shutong's face was a little unbearable, and he smiled a little, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

"But I think I've surprised me with your recent appearance, and you're serious and careful." David said and smiled, "I'm curious what drove you to change?" ”

Bai Shutong lowered his head and groaned, and thought for a while before saying: "There is a person who is very serious and careful in doing things, and I want to be the same person as him...... I also want to ...... "I also want to be able to return to him one day and prove to him that she can live well without his care." Maybe at that time, one qiē will be able to start anew.

David understood what Bai Shutong meant, and did not break it, and recalled to himself: "Count it out, you are the second Chinese doctoral student I have taken. ”

Bai Shutong was stunned for a moment, never knowing that before her, David had brought other Chinese.

"That person is very himself, very strict, I don't think that's a good thing, I hope you don't follow him." David looked at Bai Shutong and said, "However, he is very persistent, and will put all efforts into what he believes is right, even if it is challenging authority and defying stereotypes. This, I hope you can learn. ”

The person in David's mouth, Bai Shutong felt familiar to him, and asked him, "This senior brother of mine, what is his name?" ”

"I don't know his Chinese name, but his English name is Chris Shaw."

Bai Shutong was stunned when he heard this, Chris is Shao Yuanguang's English name, and Shaw should be Shao according to the spelling of the pronunciation in English.

Therefore, this senior brother is Shao Yuanguang.

Bai Shutong glanced at David and felt a little incredible, and slowly realized that it was no coincidence that he came to Pennsylvania to follow David to study for a doctorate.

"He recommended me to you?" Bai Shutong remembered David's so-called "heard" just now, most of which he also learned from Shao Yuanguang's mouth.

David smiled, "I'd like to invite him to visit Wèn for a while in the near future, and when he comes, you can ask him personally." ”
