025 Beetle
When he got up to go to the toilet at night, Jiang Yi stood for a long time in the bathroom where there was no light of day, holding the yellowed white porcelain sink in both hands, he had just washed his face, his half-dreaming and half-awake head was still a little chaotic, and he looked at the washing mirror in front of him for a long time with a lag in response.
A few drops of water dripped from the faucet, and the water hanging on the ends of the hair would not fall, and finally it still drooped down and wet the eyelashes at the end of the eyes.
Jiang Yi's face had a wooden expression, and his stiff back just wanted to move...... But when he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw himself in the mirror with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
But soon, the smile melted into the blur of the night, as if it had never been there.
The mirror was frozen inside and outside for a while, Jiang Yi began to feel bored, he no longer looked at the mirror, turned around and pushed the door out, but the moment the door was closed, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the figure in the mirror motionless, still standing there, looking at himself who left.
I was woken up by an alarm clock in the morning.
Gu Yifan didn't knock on the door, he was still wearing a sock on one foot when his shoulder hit the door, and his breath was unsteady when he jumped on one leg, "Big baby, wake up soon, aren't you catching the train to go on a date with the bird fairy, are you setting the wrong alarm clock, look at what time it is!" β
Jiang Yi was sleepy-eyed, lying down without moving, squinting at Gu Yifan, who looked like a big horse monkey.
Gu Yifan was going to visit the University of St. Andrews with the school bus, and prepared all kinds of picnic equipment early, obviously going on a date with Xixi or a girl, and was much more active than Jiang Yi in terms of action.
Jiang Yi propped his shoulders back with his elbows, shook his head twice and lay back down.
Gu Yifan's eyes swept under his waist through the quilt, and smiled obscenely, "Come on, take it slowly, I'll flash first, I have to go to the school to gather, come back and show you the photos!" β
There was another round of chickens and dogs jumping in the small corridor outside, and the world fell silent after the door was slammed shut.
Jiang Yi touched his mobile phone and looked at the time, and lay down for a few more minutes before getting up and washing up and going to the train station.
Limited edition sneakers, which were released here earlier than in China, Zhao Jia liked to get a pair for him, and Jiang Yi was indispensable.
At the gate of the train station, Huang Li waved at him with interest from afar, "Jiang Yi, come quickly!" β
Jiang Yi moved quickly to meet him and smiled, "I've been waiting for a long time, let's go." β
said that only two people would go together, but Huang Li actually said: "Don't worry, wait for another friend." β
Within two minutes, a very colorful boy trotted over, laughed and apologized when he saw Huang Li, and wrapped his arms around Jiang Yi's shoulder, "Wait for a long time, I'm sorry, let's take a walk, I'll have breakfast when I get out of the car." β
Huang Li ate his enthusiastic style, and introduced to Jiang Yi, "This is our dormitory building, called Huangchengyi, which is special and also from Bincheng, go with us." Eh, Huang'er, this is Jiang Yi, we are world friends. β
"Mister Jiang," Huang Chengyi smiled widely, "I know. β
Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows, originally a little dissatisfied with Huang Li not telling him to add someone temporarily, not because of anything else, mainly because he knew that Huang Li would have a male companion in the same company, and he didn't have to worry about her safety to go on this trip, it was better to go with Tiffin to visit the village where the prince and princess met.
But I didn't expect that Huang Chengyi, who was completely unfamiliar with his face, would actually say that he knew himself, which was quite surprising.
Jiang Yi touched half of his face and joked: "It seems that my first step to eat with my face is a step." β
The three of them walked towards the train station as they spoke, and Huang Chengyi smiled with the corners of his mouth hooked, "I know that you and Ge Zheng are close." β
Jiang Yi paused secretly at his feet, and then followed unnoticedly, and said casually: "It's okay, it's not very close." β
"Oh, that might be a misunderstanding." The expression on Huang Chengyi's face couldn't tell whether he believed it or not, but he didn't care much about it.
Huang Li seemed to be very familiar with him, and asked his mobile phone to look at his stock account on the platform, and analyzed the situation of individual stocks with him while watching.
"I've always been optimistic about this stock, let me tell you, I've been chasing it since I was in high school," Huang Chengyi pointed to the name of a technology stock, and his excited fingers couldn't stop pointing in the air, "A few days ago, a teacher from my former university came to me and said that he wanted to cooperate with me and let me recommend individual stocks to him." β
"I also paid attention to the stock you mentioned last time, but its Bollinger Bands ......" Huang Li was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
Huang Chengyi's face was a little disdainful, "I'm not a technocracy, I choose stocks like choosing a wife, what I fancy is the development of the industry and the long-term growth space of an enterprise," he snapped his fingers with an exaggerated snap, "Look at how many quantitative fund companies there are on Wall Street, but the stock god is still a long-term value investor like Buffett, not a value speculator." β
Huang Li was a little stunned by the other party's aura, and nodded mechanically, "Then you teach me more, I still don't dare to practice, I'll try a simulation plate first." β
"Okay, it's my pleasure to teach beautiful women!" Huang Chengyi turned his head, looked at Jiang Yi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, and asked with a smile, "Dude, do you have any recommendations?" β
Jiang Yi shook his head, "I don't know much about stocks, and I haven't practiced it." β
Huang Chengyi was a little shocked, "Don't look at stocks? If you study finance, don't look at stocks? So what do you plan to do after graduation? β
"I ......" Jiang Yi actually didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two from the beginning, one ear went in and the other ear went out, listening to loneliness, he was forced to ask questions in the corner at this time, his brain couldn't keep up with the number of revolutions, and he smiled reluctantly, "I haven't thought about what I'm going to do in the future...... But ......"
"Sell insurance?" Huang Chengyi laughed loudly, laughed so much that his face was flushed, and said, "In fact, selling insurance also makes money, which insurance broker in Hong Kong does not earn millions a year, I am not derogatory." β
Jiang Yi looked at him and didn't speak.
Huang Chengyi waited for a while, slightly sneered, touched his nose, and shrugged his shoulders, "I can't see that you are quite shy." β
Jiang Yi was really not shy, but he was indeed a little dazed for a while.
He really wants to continue the original question, talk to Huang Chengyi about the special historical environment of Buffett's classic value investment, and then discuss whether the current domestic economic environment is fully applicable to this set of value investment theories...... The words were quickly rolled back in his mouth, and he felt very boredβand then he pulled out the flowers, which was nothing more than paper talk, nothing more than some theoretical knowledge obtained from books.
The most important thing is that Huang Chengyi's question made his head suddenly empty, and until Huang Li asked him again as if he was looking for steps, he still felt at a loss.
When he got into the car, Huang Li was a little behind, and asked next to him, "What do you plan to do after graduation?" β
In fact, there can be many answers, entering securities firms, investment banks, public offerings, private placements, and entity enterprises......
"I haven't thought about it yet." Jiang Yi frowned and whispered, "What about you?" β
Huang Liyun said lightly: "I'll go home to help my mother, my parents are divorced, my mother is alone, I have to help her." "Since the two adults know each other, there is nothing to avoid about some basic information.
Jiang Yi thought about his family's small business, and felt that it was indeed not enough to catch a family of three to the point where they were all busy, so this road was mostly meaningless.
There weren't many people on the train, and the three of them were inevitably trapped in one place.
Huang Chengyi can really say that when the upper and lower mouths are not closed, the nonsense of Shannan, Haibei, and the gossip of 5,000 years of up and down are integrated, and the listeners who are shooting like machine guns have no room for their eyes.
"What's wrong with you, you haven't rested well?" Huang Li asked Jiang Yi quietly by handing things over.
Jiang Yi reluctantly cheered up and smiled, and said vaguely: "I didn't sleep well, if I knew that someone was with you, I wouldn't be here today." β
"I talked about this on the spot yesterday, and I just made an appointment together," Huang Li paused and joked, "What, jealous?" β
"Jealous?" Huang Chengyi took over the conversation and said in surprise, "Whose vinegar are you eating?" Mister Jiang, I don't mean to chase the yellow bird, don't eat your vinegar! β
"Where is it, you have a score in your mouth!" Huang Li made a gesture to pat him on the arm.
Huang Chengyi was also foolish, shouting loudly, "I just said that I have made friends in the world, who knows if there is a baby to kiss or something," he said and laughed, "There are still husband and wife who are majoring in computer science next door and come to study together, you guys are all okay!" I'll go back and give you propaganda and publicity, so that those who are thinking about the two of you, but they will all stop, no fun! β
Huang Li didn't know what to do, anyway, this joke made Jiang Yi a little embarrassed, after all, Ms. Xiangxiang did have this thought, so she pulled the two of them to know each other.
Jiang Yi stood up, "I'll go to the toilet." β
I can faintly hear Huang Li complaining behind me, "Don't talk nonsense, there is a degree of joke." β
Huang Chengyi whispered with a salivating face: "Pass the time, who is serious." β
Jiang Yi said that going to the toilet was an excuse, walked to the adjacent carriage, casually found a window position and sat down, looking at the slowly passing grass outside the window.
What do you want to do after graduation?
Everyone around them seems to have a clear goal, big or small, at least for the future.
Of course, you can, even if the fog locks the end, but the road is under your feet, step by step, just move forward, you can always reach a place, whether it is there the clouds and the sun, or the empty and lonely and dim, but there will always be a place.
But what made him feel even more confused was that without love and sincerity, he really couldn't find the meaning of every step on the way.
In other words, he doesn't seem to have any lofty ideals.
Neither did the small ones.
Ideal, really hypocritical.
"Is it hypocritical?" A voice asked rhetorically.
Jiang Yi was interrupted from his thoughts, and suddenly raised his head from his own world, only to find that the person sitting opposite him was a Chinese boy, who looked about the same age as himself, clean and very delicate, the book in his hand was half spread on the table, and he was looking up at him with a faint smile.
There was some backlight from his direction, as if a dark and elegant filter had been added, and the face outlined was deep and mysterious.
Jiang Yi looked at him for a while, couldn't help but smile, and pointed at himself, "Did I say it?" β
The boy tilted his head and tilted his head slightly, "Do you think it's hypocritical to have no ideals?" β
Jiang Yi smiled and said that I didn't know either, "But I think it's really hypocritical to talk about ideals with strangers on the train." β
The boy closed the book, "My name is Luyun." β
"My name is Jiang Yi."
The boy was only 18 years old, a Chinese of Dutch origin, who had taken a year off from university before entering university, and planned to travel the world on his own.
The last leg was just over Egypt and last week in Scotland.
"You've been to West already?" Jiang Yi asked.
"It's been three days, almost." Lu Yun said.
Jiang Yi was very envious of this ease, "If you had met me earlier, you might have been able to stay in West for a few more days, our university is still quite beautiful, I can take you to see it." β
"Next time," Lu Yun's fingers tapped on the book, "the world can't be seen at once." β
When he said this, his voice was always brisk, like a random plant on the road, and there was no need for far-fetched attachment at all.
Jiang Yi didn't know what to say again, just looked at him, looked at him and smiled at him for a while.
Maybe it was too long to come out, and Huang Li called.
"I'm going to get off at the station soon, where are you?"
Jiang Yi glanced out the window, and could indeed faintly see the platform, so he hurriedly stood up and was about to walk back.
After walking a few steps, he turned back, took out his mobile phone, and was a little surprised, "Do you use WeChat?" Leave a contact information. β
Lu Yun took out his mobile phone, "I downloaded this app, but I haven't used it much, and I don't know how to add friends." β
The car had slowly slowed down and stopped, Jiang Yi had to take a photo of Lu Yun's account and save it, and waved his hand at Lu Yun again, "Then you are out alone...... Stay safe. β
Huang Li's call came again.
Lu Yun nodded calmly, as if he had long been accustomed to the scene of everything being separated at will.
On the contrary, Jiang Yi somehow was a little reluctant, and took two steps backwards, but there was nothing to say, so he had to turn around and walk towards the opposite carriage.
"Why did you go, you haven't been back for so long?" Huang Li and Huang Chengyi were already waiting in the aisle at the car door.
"I met an alumnus and chatted a few words." Jiang Yi explained.
Huang Li didn't pursue it anymore, and pulled the two of them to line up outside the shops on the commercial street.
In the boring queue, Gu Yifan called and said hesitantly: "When I got off the school bus in St. Andrews, I saw Ge Zheng's car parked across the street, he kept looking at the door, Xixi and I sat at the end, and after we got off, Ge Zheng drove away." β
He paused for a moment, with some indelible embarrassment in his tone, "Did you two quarrel or something?" Why do I think this is weird? Is he here to wait for you? Do you want to call and ask if there is anything important looking for you? After speaking, he muttered to himself: "Then it won't be chased to St. Ann, what can't you say with a phone call......
Jiang Yi only said that he knew, and hung up the phone.
Is there anything you can't say on the phone?
Presumably, in the current situation, even if you face to face, you can't say it.
Jiang Yi called up the screenshot of the photo and added Lu Yun's WeChat, and the other party quickly passed.
He sent a smiling face, and the other party replied with a photo of a half-hung rainbow outside the car window.
All three of them grabbed the limited-edition sneakers that day, and the merit was complete.
For a long time after that, Jiang Yi never saw Ge Zheng again.
Occasionally, it is swept far away in the crowd, and it will be avoided immediately.
