Chapter 31: Matchmaking

Previous Chapter

After successfully leaving one in Li Nian's place, it was not too good, but it must not be too bad.

Qi Ming is still the same as before, but whenever it comes to the introduction to art, he will always take it with the most serious attitude. The book is full of footnotes for each class, and the notebook given to me by the high school homeroom teacher is also full of thick class notes on every page, and the serious attitude is no less than that of mathematics, physics and chemistry in the third year of high school.

Even Yang Chuang, who studied most seriously in the dormitory, was a little ashamed after seeing Qi Ming so serious.

On the way to the cafeteria on this day, everyone had a heated discussion about why the introduction to art class was so active.

"I think Lao Qi just looks at people, and Mr. Li is good-looking, and he wants to hook up with others." Chen Zizhao walked to the side and said.

Ma Kaitai also joked: "Qi Ming, you can do this, Tongji has a childhood sweetheart sister next door, and a high school classmate with a good voice called you at the end of the three days, you are not honest, and you are actually eyeing a beautiful female teacher?" ”

"If you want to say that it is still Qi Minggao, I will challenge the high difficulty as soon as school starts, and I plan to hook up with the teacher." This was said by Xiao Yunteng.

"But then again, I've seen it too. Among the female teachers of the University of Engineering, Li Nian is the best-looking, she can wear clothes when she is young, and she has just graduated from graduate school, which is a good year. Zhan Yu said.

Listening to them arranging themselves every word, Qi Ming looked indifferent, and he didn't bother to explain so much to them.

However, when everyone walked into the restaurant, the discussion came to an abrupt end.

Yuan, it's so wonderful, I don't know why Li Nian came to the No. 2 restaurant far away from the office. It's just that she's not alone, and there's a middle-aged man sitting opposite.

Qi Ming smiled when he saw it. "I won't eat with you today, I have to invite Mr. Li to have a meal." Qi Ming said bluntly.

"Yo..."Chen Zizhao was yin and yang, and his voice couldn't help but raise half a point: "Lang Lang Qiankun is in broad daylight, aren't you afraid of other classmates gossiping?" ”

"Students invite the teacher to have a light meal, what gossip is there to say?"

After speaking, he took the meal card and took the initiative to go to the window to order.

I asked for a portion of stir-fried greens, a portion of shredded potatoes, and a chicken thigh. Then at the soup window, I asked for a large portion of red bean and barley soup.

Only then did he hold the dinner plate and sit next to Li Nian.

"Teacher Li is very coincidental, you don't come to No. 2 restaurant often." Slowly walked behind Li Nian, after a few days of getting along, Qi Ming was already familiar with Li Nian's relationship, and he no longer had the politeness of his previous words.

"Huh? It's you, Qi Ming. Li Nian smiled, looked up with some unnatural eyes, and glanced at the middle-aged man sitting opposite.

"Is it your student?" The middle-aged man glanced at Qi Ming, up and down, but there was a trace of curiosity in his serious eyes.

Qi Ming took the initiative to introduce himself: "Hello Mr. Chen, I am a freshman in the Department of Art and Design, my name is Qi Ming. As early as the day I entered the school, on the notice board of the school, I saw that you were elected as an outstanding faculty member in the second quarter of this year, and you have long admired your name. ”

"Oh? Is it? Chen Guohua coped.

In fact, Chen Guohua is also very curious, he is just a teacher in charge of logistics in administration. In the school, they are generally not very involved in the affairs of students, and they are not as well-known as teachers like Li Nian in the engineering university, not to mention freshmen like Qi Ming, and even some students who are about to graduate from their senior year, they may not know or even know him.

"Qi Ming is my student, a freshman this year, a very bright head and a very hard-working student." At this time, Li Nian on the side took the initiative to round up.

"The red bean and barley soup in our school is very good, and I gave two servings to the two teachers." Qi Ming said and carefully placed the two bowls of red bean soup in front of Li Nian and Chen Guohua.

"I have a heart." Chen Guohua nodded.

After speaking, he took a sip, and Chen Guohua, who has been in the logistics of the engineering university for more than ten years, was surprised to find that the red bean and barley soup in the second canteen was actually quite delicious, so he said: "Xiao Li, you student is quite interesting." I've been in engineering for so many years, and it's the first time I've drunk the red bean soup here, and it's pretty good. ”

This sweet soup is freshly boiled, and the amount is limited, just one pot a day.

Add some ice, honey and some white fungus.

The weather in Shanghai in September is not so cool, it is noon at this time, and the heart is hot and dry after a busy morning.

Li Nian smiled quietly and didn't say anything.

"How much is the soup for two servings, I'll give it to you together." At this time, Chen Guohua had already begun to dig out his wallet.

Qi Ming didn't stop him, let alone be polite to him.

After staying in the engineering department for four years, he naturally knew Chen Guohua, and also knew that Director Chen, who was in charge of logistics, although he was not in any important position, but the logistics department was often thankless.

So in school, he has always been cautious, don't say that he accepts gifts and invitations, even if others want him to help, give a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of wine, he returns it in full, and has the opportunity to settle down from a few people.

Few students of the University of Engineering know Chen Guohua, and not many people know that Chen Guohua, the director in charge of logistics, is actually Li Nian's uncle.

Of course, this is also the gossip that Qi Ming in his previous life only heard many years after graduation.

But according to Chen Guohua's temper, if Qi Ming took the initiative to approach him, it would definitely not be as good as having Li Nian's relationship blessing.

I can't eat anything in one meal, Qi Ming has long expected it, originally today's meal Qi Ming is to brush up on his sense of existence, so as to make it convenient for him to approach Chen Guohua in the future.

This is the same as flying a kite, Li Nian is a kite string, which has to be held tightly in his hand, and Chen Guohua is a kite, no matter how far he flies, he just needs to catch Li Nian.

Chen Guohua ate quickly, and cleared the Chinese food on the plate after dividing it by two, but obviously he liked the red bean soup recommended by Qi Ming very much, and poured a point into his kettle after drinking one.

"I have a habit of taking a nap, you use it slowly." Chen Guohua tightened the lid of the kettle, and was about to get up and leave.

Qi Ming took the initiative to get up and symbolically took two steps: "Teacher Chen, walk slowly." ”

Just waiting for Chen Guohua to leave, Qi Ming had been pretending to be nervous just now, his towering shoulders were relaxed, and then he said: "To say that Teacher Chen's aura is really not ordinarily strong, talking to him is like talking to a teacher from our high school's political and educational office." ”

Li Nian didn't say anything, just sent a mouthful of shredded potatoes to his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it slowly.

In fact, Qi Ming knew that Li Nian's silence at this time was because he was worried that if he said too much, he would lose, and Qi Ming could see that there was a kinship between her and Chen Guohua.

Speaking of which, Li Nian and Chen Guohua are really not a family, and if they don't enter a family, they both cherish their feathers.

Seeing that Li Nian was a little silent when talking about Chen Guohua, Qi Ming changed the topic: "Teacher Li, I browsed our school's on-campus forum in the computer room yesterday, and I saw someone recommending your blog, I clicked in and took a look, and I was fascinated by the photos and travelogues I took. I really want to have the opportunity to be like you, carry a bag, buy a ticket, and take a trip that you can just go. ”

"You also like hiking?" Talking about the things he was interested in, Li Nian became interested.

Qi Ming scratched his head: "In the second semester of the second semester of high school, I was going to prepare for the college entrance examination, and I felt that my good days of idleness were coming to an end. I went to Inner Mongolia without telling my family, riding a horse, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, which can be regarded as relaxing and decompressing. When I came back a week later, my mom locked me in the house and starved for a day. ”

Li Nian covered his mouth and chuckled, and then said: "Our school has a mountaineering club and a hiking travel agency, if you are interested, you can participate." ”

"The clubs in our school, like children's homes, go to the famous mountains and rivers in the province or nearby provinces at most. I like to go off the beaten track. Feel the feeling that the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and the birds fly. ”

Li Nian smiled: "Students still have to focus on their studies, and when you graduate, you can consider hiking, but remember that safety comes first." ”

Seeing that Li Nian was still pushing Tai Chi with him, he simply asked directly, "Teacher Li, do you have any plans for hiking in the near future?" ”

This really stopped Li Nian, she really didn't have a plan for the recent trip, on the one hand, she just went to Khunjerab in southern Xinjiang, and there are only a few days left in the second half of the year, and there is no time for others.

"Teacher, do you know the Shengsi Islands, not far from Shanghai, where there are some small fishing villages. I read a newspaper a few days ago that in the first half of the year, the islands were moved, and several of them were deserted. I think that's one of the more valuable routes in the east at the moment. Qi Ming raised his head and glanced at Li Nian, it was obvious that there was a trace of curiosity in the latter's eyes.

Li Nian came to his senses, and without thinking too much, he asked, "What?" Listen to you, do you want to invite me along? ”

"From Shanghai, it takes more than an hour by boat, and the journey is not far. Although some of the island's inhabitants have moved, a few scattered fishing villages in the easternmost part remain. It takes about a day and a half to hike around the island, you can camp or live in a fishing village, the seafood is cheap, and the overall cost is not high, the key is that it is relatively close to Shanghai, and you don't need to consider the round-trip time on the road. If Mr. Li is interested, I would like to invite you to come along. ”

Qi Ming's words can make Li Nian's arrangement clear.

Li Nian hesitated, but at the same time, he felt even more that the Qi Ming in front of him was a little different from those students who were simply pretending to be studious, and by asking shamelessly, the students who appeared around him twice in three days.
