Ilan didn't have time to convince Hosbei in the end, she was even busier, and Hosbei was also busy. After the mecha friendly match, there are only more than two months left before the holiday. In addition to insisting on normal training, Huo Sibei is also busy with the final assessment. One of the main assessment items is the barrier-free design of various forms of mechas, which is a group project, because because of his previous participation in the mecha friendly competition, a lot of preliminary work fell on other team members, and when he came back, he had to take responsibility. After he came back from Tira University, he and Ilan met for two days on the weekend, and then they could only see each other for one day, which was too much of a slowdown in the early stage.

Yilan once heard him mention it during a small talk, and asked him in surprise: "Isn't your partner Ah Xi?" Are you separated, why not a group? Huo Sibei explained to her that he and Ah Xi were not in the same major, he studied mecha design, and Ah Xi was from the mecha operation department. In the mecha team of the same grade, the two of them are partners and train together, but they usually take care of their own studies in class. Yilan nodded, no wonder she met Huo Sibei when she was training in the centrifugal cabin when she was learning agricultural mechas, as if she didn't see Ah Xi with him. Group projects are commonplace, and Ilan listens to them and then passes by.

She was busy herself. Professional courses need to prepare for exams, which doesn't matter, it's definitely no problem to pass the exam, but the difference between average grades and very good results. The key is that the crops in her field are about to enter the harvest period, and the physiological and ecological numbers of the plants fluctuate greatly, and now she is staring at the field almost whenever she has time. These numbers are very important, and the sixth grade planting practice project has to adjust the planting system according to the fifth grade observation jù, and she must not miss any of the number jù points. The work at the restaurant occupies her evening time, but luckily there is Duanmu, who will help her keep an eye on her when she goes to work. So when Duanmu is occasionally free, she also tries to help Duanmu observe and record his counts.

Plant growth doesn't care about you Saturday and Sunday, sometimes Huo Sibei finally finds time to come over, and she can only drag him to the field to accompany her, and she doesn't care about talking to him. As soon as he took a breath, he didn't allow Huo Sibei to open his mouth, so he hurriedly pulled him to Duanmu Field.

"This isn't your field." Huo Sibei followed Yilan to see the real yàn field, and recognized it at a glance.

"Duanmu's, he went out today, I'll help him record a little jù." Yilan looked at the buds without looking back, and instructed the planter to take samples.

There was no response, and Ilan was busy with herself.

"When are you done?" Hosbei finally couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, just a little longer." Ilan responded casually, and his hands didn't stop.

Huo Sibei silently stood aside and watched, during which he seemed to walk away to pick up a video, and then came over and said, "Yilan, I have to go." ”

"So early?" Ilan was surprised, she hurried slowly, before she was done, he was leaving, and they hadn't spoken yet. Turning his head and thinking about it, Huo Sibei was also busy, this time and again, it took half a day on the road, and he still had projects to finish, and he still had to train.

She showed apologies on her face, and said softly to Huo Sibei: "There are too many things today, will I accompany you all day next time?" Huo Sibei sighed slightly, wanted to go up and hug her, saw that she was still squatting in front of the eye-catching plant, only twisted her head to talk to him, paused, and left helplessly.

In the evening, Yilan sorted out the day's numbers and reviewed the professional class, Huo Sibei didn't have a video yet, she guessed that she had probably seen it today, so she didn't talk about it. Yilan washed up and went to bed disappointed, but she couldn't sleep for a while, and she arranged the things she wanted to do tomorrow in her heart, and suddenly a thought popped up, and she immediately became excited. She thought about it and took the initiative to dial Huo Sibei, Huo Sibei quickly picked it up, and Ilan looked sharply at the shelves behind him full of mecha models, it turned out that his dormitory was like this, and it was quite messy if he couldn't see it.

Ilan smiled in his heart and said to him, "Will you come over tomorrow?" ”

Huo Sibei was very happy that Yilan contacted him, and said with relief and distress: "I have something to do tomorrow, the project deadline is approaching, and I have to catch up tomorrow." You go to bed early, and I'll come and see you next week. ”

"Okay, see you next time." Ilan hung up with a smile, she bet Hosbei didn't know what she meant next time.

The next day, on Sunday, because Ilan went to bed early last night, she got up refreshed, she went around the field first, and she was fine in the afternoon, and she went out and came back at night just in time to observe again. She went back to her residence and cleaned herself up, and looked carefully in the mirror, well, there were no dark circles under her eyes, and her skin was not dry. She usually doesn't take care of herself, and to be honest, she doesn't know how other girls take care of it, her requirements for herself are clean and natural. Looking left and right, there was nothing wrong, rummaging through his limited clothes, and found a long-sleeved tunic dress to wear.

On weekdays in the field, she wears the work clothes issued by the department, and the classmates jokingly call them peasant clothes and peasant women's clothes, all of which are gray long-sleeved trousers and boots, tight-fitting waist and sleeves, which are convenient for work. The students of the planting major are ugly, and when they complain, they talk about the clothing of the breeding profession, and they are the same as frogman clothes, and the boots are not boots, they are flipper shoes, which are convenient for water operations, and everyone laughs after seeing them once.

Elan didn't have much money in the past few years, and he was thankful that he couldn't even care about dressing up just thinking that he could eat and drink. Fortunately, there is a formal unified school uniform and the department's regular school uniform, and when it comes to important occasions, such as a welcome party in the department or something, it is customary to wear a formal school uniform. When I go to work in a restaurant, I also have work clothes, private parties or something, anyway, she and her classmates are not close to that point, and they generally don't have any, so they don't worry about clothing. Of course, when it comes to holidays, everyone puts on their own clothes and goes out for a fun dinner, but there are also students who are troublesome to wear school uniforms all year round, so Yilan is not eye-catching.

Girls always have a love of beauty in their nature. Yilan doesn't care much about her appearance, half of the reason is that her mind has passed this stage of stinky beauty, knowing that life is not easy, and her stomach is always more important than her face. The other half is because she knows that she looks quite passable, and she won't pull down the average anyway, so she doesn't have to worry about it. is already such a casual attitude towards appearance, and it is even more careless about dressing, anyway, if you have money, you can naturally wear it well, and it is in vain if you don't have money.

Two years earlier, after she got her first industry qualification junior dietitian certificate, the restaurant's salary increased, and she was able to breathe a little easier, and she also bought a few more for herself, which was also because she hadn't changed for many years. Not to mention the orphanage, she hasn't bought clothes for herself in the past three years at Moss Star Farm, she is tightly supported by old clothes, and she gritted her teeth and bought two clothes before coming to school, ready to go to school to replace them. Later, because of the school uniform, there were not many opportunities to wear these two clothes, but there were more during the holidays, so they kept making do. She can't even see it herself, she is also a girl, oppressed by the hardships of life like this, she didn't even dare to buy clothes, she really didn't expect this layer when she dreamed of her dreams, so when the burden of life was a little lighter, she bought herself a few in one go.

After getting along with Huo Sibei, he was busy arguing and reconciling at first, and then he was busy with practical projects and junior dim sum master research, and his mind was a little upside down, and the clothes he bought two years ago were indeed old, but he didn't have time to read them on the Internet. It wasn't until she came out of the junior dim sum chef qualification exam, the restaurant's salary rose a little, and she also had a subsidy for the planting practice project, and began to plan to save money, that her heart became alive again. How miserable it must be for a girl to go out on a date, and Cinderella also gave a pair of time-limited crystal slippers. Thinking about it this way, a while ago, I took advantage of the joy of the dim sum chef after the exam to buy a few more for myself. Girls know that they can't stop buying things at the beginning, she sees that she needs it everywhere, if it weren't for the silent saving of money, she almost didn't stop the car, and she has been oppressed for several years.

At this time, she changed into a peasant woman's costume and put on a newly bought dress, and the girl in the mirror also had the color of bright eyes and bright teeth. Putting her long hair up and down, and back up and down, Ilan frowned and lamented, she wouldn't dress herself. That's it, Huo Sibei is used to even seeing peasant women's clothes, and he still cares about this? Then she smiled at herself in the mirror, she was really a woman who pleases herself, and she never imagined that she would have a day of sorrow for dressing up.

Seeing that the time for turning left and right was almost enough to go around the field again, Yilan didn't dare to grind any longer, and drove the hovercar and set off. Huo Sibei had always said that he was going to take her to his dormitory, but he didn't go after the post incident, but the address had already been told to her. With the heart of wanting to give him a big surprise, Ilan didn't ventilate him, and was going to touch him downstairs first.

The first time I took this route, it was really quite far, a little farther than she went to the restaurant. It's not easy for Hoth to come north, he arrived not long after Duanmu walked several times, how early did he have to get up, and he came for nothing yesterday, and he didn't speak. Ilan felt very bad when she thought about it, she never took the initiative to find out about Huo Sibei's situation, his family, friends, and studies, she didn't ask anything, she knew she was scared.

Because of the uncertainty about the future, because of the suspicion that they will one day be strangers, she didn't want to know more from the beginning. But since he is reluctant to let go, since he has decided to leave the future to him to choose and not complain, should he be better to him, at least he can't take his good regard for her for granted, at least don't let him feel that he is the one who compromises every time, at least don't let him rush to come and go alone like yesterday.

Ilan condemned herself all the way, looking forward to seeing Huo Sibei's happy appearance all the way, sometimes frowning and sometimes smiling, and then woke up, thinking that it was fortunate that she was the only one in the car, otherwise someone would see her appearance, how terrifying would it be? She couldn't help but laugh to herself, and her mood suddenly relaxed.

Coming downstairs to him, Ilan drove the car into the underground parking garage, ready to look around first to see if his car was there. There are still quite a lot of cars in the parking lot, and Ilan's own dormitory building used to be like this, and when it comes to the final assessment stage, everyone goes out to play less, and there are more cars in the parking lot. Ilan was going around in it, and didn't find Huo Sibei's car for a while, thinking about how stupid he was, he had very little time, and he wasted so much time in the garage, and if he couldn't find the car, he had to ask Huo Sibei where he was, and if he found the car, he still had to let him pick her up, and he had to dial him for video conferencing left and right, which was really stupid. She parked her car and prepared to dial his contact number.

Ilan didn't know that a thunderbolt was rolling towards her at this time. She just glanced ahead unconsciously before raising her hand to dial, a glance she would never have glanced at if she had known beforehand. At this glance, she saw a car slowly driving in from the direction of the entrance, and then unconsciously looked at it, and recognized Hosbei's car. She often sat in this car and looked at it often, and of course she could be sure of it from a distance. She smiled, stopped dialing, and started playing, ready to watch him go upstairs and then call him down.

Hoss's car stopped at the other end, and soon he got out of the car, well, he didn't wear a school uniform today, which is quite rare, but he looks good in anything. Ilan peeked through the window in the car, and she was silly in her heart.

Then she saw Huo Sibei go around the front of the car, open the door on the other side, and walk down a girl, she couldn't see her appearance from a distance, but just by her dress and demeanor, she could see that it was a very well-bred girl, and she seemed to be holding a bag in her hand. After waiting for her to get out of the car, Hosbei closed the door very gentlemanly, and then naturally took the bag from the girl's hand, and the girl seemed to say something to him, and he said something, and then the girl smiled, looking very happy, and the two walked side by side towards the elevator.

Ilan kept watching, and long after they got up, she was still sitting in the car. She looked at the dress on her body and smiled self-deprecatingly, in her past, if anyone went to a banquet or an interview and went on a blind date, Tete put on a new dress, it would be secretly laughed at, she was not a native hat.

The moment she started the car, reason came back and said to her, just ask clearly, such a small thing, maybe classmates or ordinary friends go along the way. Maybe the two of them are in the same dormitory building, Huo Sibei asked her to take a ride back, and she and Duanmu still live in the opposite door and go to and from class together. But there was a very aggrieved voice in her heart that she had never taken Duanmu's car, and Huo Sibei had never carried anyone before. Reason also said, what's wrong with taking a car, people always have to go out and walk around, there must always be a social circle, what is so strange about taking a friend, you yourself and your classmates don't also talk and laugh, and other neighbors in the field also hang out and chat. Another voice was aggrieved again, he had always worn a school uniform in front of her, and he changed into his own clothes as soon as he didn't see each other, and he was still well-dressed, what did he subconsciously mind, why did he mind what he was wearing in front of her so much. Reason said again, it's just a piece of clothing, and it's worth thinking about it over and over again with your little temperament. People just take it and put it on. Then the voice was even more aggrieved, but I didn't just take it, I picked it for a long time, and I couldn't pick it out at all, okay, I just came to offer ugliness.

She started the car and went straight back. After getting on the ground, it was vacated, and after a short time, the video request came, and she saw that it was Ah Xi, and wondered in her heart, what could he do to find her, suppressed the chaotic thoughts, and then asked: "Ah Xi, what's the matter?" ”

"Elan, look to your right."

Ilan looked strangely to the right, and there was a car driving side by side with her.

"Elan, do you see me? I thought I was mistaken, why did you get here? ”

Ilan didn't have much of the heart to chat now, so he found a reason to prevaricate: "I'll just go around the campus." ”

"Ah, yes, I thought you came to Ryan. When I first came out of the garage, I was behind you, and I didn't dare to recognize it at first, and I wanted to tell you that Ryan didn't live in this building. ”

What is this, she chatted with Ah Xi casually, and the two separated at the fork in the road.

On the way back, Ilan was very uncomfortable, not for today's incident. Originally, she didn't notice what Huo Sibei was wearing, except for the mecha training uniform, he had always been a school uniform in front of her, what was there to care about? But the garage incident made her see another side of him, he was very tastefully dressed, he could laugh and laugh with others, he had friends and family behind him, and she had nothing, not even a decent dress. She had always known that there was a huge gap between them, but the contrast was ruthlessly torn apart by a single garment, and the cruel embarrassment and frustration that had been gnawing at her heart when she realized that he might have been careful to avoid it. In fact, she doesn't care about that girl, it doesn't matter if it's an ordinary classmate or a friend, what she cares about is pulling a girl out at random, standing with Hoss North Station, and looking like a better match than her.

She is working hard, working hard to increase her knowledge and ability, not only to improve her life, but also to have a little confidence when moving forward with him in the future, so as not to lose to others and not make it difficult for him. Even, if one day they really come to an end, she is willing to walk away silently, because this is no longer anyone's right or wrong, and the sophistication of people in the red dust is so realistic. But now, it's such a journey, and she doubts whether she really has the courage to take it.

She couldn't help but smile bitterly, if she worked hard, she could only be fed and clothed, and the girls with secondary education were all in the league, no matter how hard she worked, she couldn't go to the clouds and rain tomorrow, and the limit of what she could do was only to be able to buy a small farm by herself in the future. She is in such a different direction from him, and she is almost destined to go her separate ways after graduation, does she still want to go on?

Ilan knew something was wrong with her mentality. She was like a balloon, full of breath, looking at the white clouds fluttering in the sky with high interest, feeling that the world was very beautiful, and she had not yet embarked on a new journey, when she was suddenly hung by a branch, and then her anger was discharged little by little, trembling and hooking on the treetops, and she felt that one day the rotten mud pond on the ground was the destination. She can't look at anything now, and after she went back, she went to Shiyàn Tian as planned, and she could observe whatever she wanted, but she didn't have the passion.

When Huo Sibei and her video conference in the evening, the two reported to each other as usual and exchanged the day's activities, Huo Sibei only said that he was busy with group projects, and did not mention anything else. Ilan listened with a smile, didn't ask much, and then said goodnight to each other. She couldn't sleep after counting hundreds of sheep, closed her eyes and empty her mind, and it was a long time before she felt a little vague sleep.
