Jingzhi woke up just after seven o'clock in the morning.

Qi'er is still sleeping, it seems that she was busy until the second half of the night last night, and she still hasn't gotten up yet.

Soon after waking up, Jingzhi went out to the nearby supermarket to buy a lot of things.

After that, she made herself a hearty breakfast with omelette, ham, bacon, toast, and milk.

She also prepared two sandwiches for lunch for herself. That way, she eats lunch in the kitchen next to the office and can work until late afternoon.

Many people who love life do not treat their stomachs badly. Jingzhi is the same.

After breakfast, Jingzhi sorted out the food in the refrigerator, wrote a post-it note, and pasted it on the refrigerator door.

The post-it note read, "Dear Qi'er, thank you for lending me the ingredients for cooking last time." I've bought them all and returned them to you, and put them on the second level of the refrigerator. ”

Then, she packed her things and walked to the office alone.

This floor of the office building is divided into a number of cubicles, all of which are used for doctoral students' offices.

On weekdays, from Monday to Friday, the seats are almost full, and everyone is working very their work.

Jingzhi shares an office with another roommate.

It was a girl from Egypt.

She is one year older than Jingzhi, and after completing her master's degree in the UK, she first returned to China to get married, and then went on her honeymoon, and she tossed back and forth for more than half a year. When I returned to the UK to continue my PhD, I was exactly one year later than the master's graduates of the same year.

She was much shorter than Jingzhi, but her figure was fuller, and her oval face was inlaid with a pair of large round eyes.

When Jingzhi saw her, she always wore a headscarf.

Her name is long and hard to pronounce. Fortunately, she gave herself an English name and let everyone call her EA.

EA usually comes to the office earlier than Jingzhi.

Jingzhi, who is always late, is very curious about what time EA arrives at the office every morning, because no matter what time Jingzhi walks into the office, she always finds EA sitting peacefully at her desk, engrossed in her work.

However, EA only works from Monday to Friday, from early in the morning until 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Jingzhi has never seen EA in the office after 5 p.m.

Unlike EA, Jingzhi works late in the office almost every night.

She doesn't have a boyfriend and doesn't need to date; There is also no family and no need to take care of a husband and children.

As usual, this Sunday Jingzhi was alone in the office again.

She first checked the schedule for the week, marked the tasks that needed to be completed but did not complete, and wrote them on the sticky notes at hand, which counted as her basic tasks for the day.

During the lunch break, Jingzhi looked through her phone and found that she had just received an email.

In the UK, staff are closed on Saturdays and Sundays, and school mailboxes generally do not receive mail.

Jingzhi opened it and took a closer look, and found that it was an email written in Chinese, with only a few short sentences written on it

"Hi, Chen Jingzhi, hello! I am Liang Jingsheng, who sat next to you in the last training class of the Institute of Education.

Today is Sunday, and a few friends and I are planning to go to badminton together in the afternoon.

If you have time, come along!

The time is from 2 to 4 p.m. in the school gym. ”

Jingzhi guessed that it was likely that Liang Jingsheng didn't know her phone number, so she found her school email address from the school's doctor's information column and sent her an email.

What a great way to get in touch, simple and straightforward!

After reading the email, Jingzhi immediately replied, "Chen Jingsheng, thank you for the invitation.

Although I would love to go, I still have a lot of work to do today, and I don't know if I can finish it in time.

It's not clear if you'll have time to play badminton in the afternoon.

If I could have done it sooner, I would have got; If it's too late, I'll have to say I'm sorry to you. ”

After clicking send, Jingzhi began to enjoy her homemade lunch.

It didn't take long for Jingzhi to receive an email from Liang Jingsheng and reply to her

"Chen Jingzhi, I didn't expect you to be working now.

To be honest, we were all in the office, and we all had our own work to do, so we scheduled our play time in the afternoon.

I hope you get your work done well today!

If you have time in the afternoon, come to the gym to find us! ”

"What an energetic young man!" Jingzhi couldn't help but sigh.

Unknowingly, Jingzhi was moved by Liang Jingsheng's words.

Now she just wants to finish the work at hand quickly, so that she can play badminton with Liang Jingsheng and them in the afternoon.

So, Jingzhi unconsciously sped up the speed of chewing, hoping to buy some time as much as possible.

When Jingzhi returned home from today's work, it was just past three o'clock in the afternoon.

Luckily, this old apartment is very close to the school's gym, which is less than a few minutes' walk.

Jingzhi changed into a sweatshirt and sneakers, put the bag containing the badminton racket on her shoulder, locked the door of the apartment, and walked towards the gym with light steps.

Seeing Jingzhi recklessly breaking into the badminton hall, Liang Jingsheng immediately rushed over and said with a happy smile, "Hi! Chen Jingzhi! You're finally here! We have been waiting for you! ”

Seeing him running over and panting, Jingzhi deliberately paused for a few seconds to calm him down, and then asked him in a low voice, "You guys?" Are all waiting for me? ”

Without waiting for Liang Jingsheng to speak, a thin boy who was much taller than him ran over, glanced at Jingzhi, and said to her, "Hello, my name is Jiang Shuai, a second-year doctorate, and I am also from the College of Education." As he spoke, he put his hand on Liang Jingsheng's shoulder, smiled and said, "You are really a great beauty!" This kid really didn't talk nonsense! You don't know, since I met you once, this kid often mentions you, saying that there is a female doctor from a foreign college who comes to our college's training class, and she looks like one..."

Before he could finish speaking, Liang Jingsheng took his arm away with his hand.

When he saw Liang Jingsheng giving him a look, he immediately changed the topic and said, "There is still one person missing from them, so I'll go first." Hurry up and come along! ”

After speaking, Jiang Shuai turned around and ran away.

Liang Jingsheng looked at Jingzhi confused, so he had to patiently point out to her, "The person who just came to greet you is my senior brother." We are also roommates who rent a house together.

The boy who stood opposite him and played with him was also from our college, the man in the light blue sweatshirt, named Li Yuming.

Like Jiang Shuai, he is also a second-year doctorate.

He, Jiang Shuai, and I, the three of us are roommates who rent a house together.

The two girls playing next to them were both from business schools, the tall one with short hair was Wu Feifei, and the short one was Yu Ying.

Both of them are in first grade, just like us. ”

"So many people!" Jingzhi sighed, "It's nothing if I don't have one......

"Hehe," Liang Jingsheng smiled, "It's really not good to be without you!" You see, the odd number of people we came, and there was always one person who would be idle. Now that you're here, the number of people has become even, and no one will be left alone, isn't it just right? ”

"Haha, there is some truth!" Jingzhi said with a smile.

"Right. Then let's not delay any longer and go play together! ”

Liang Jingsheng was talking as he motioned for Jingzhi to walk forward.

It's Sunday, and the gymnasium is full of sports enthusiasts, both men and women, mostly students from Mutas University, but also residents of the neighborhood.

To rent a badminton court at this time, you need to make a reservation online in advance and pay for it.

They came with five people and had only booked two badminton courts.

Now these two venues are occupied by two groups of people, the two men and two women introduced by Liang Jingsheng just now.

Seeing Liang Jingsheng and Jingzhi coming over with badminton rackets in their hands, Wu Feifei picked up the badminton ball on the ground, wiped the sweat on her cheeks with a towel, and gasped and said, "You guys are finally here, so we can just rest." I'm about to get dehydrated! ”

Hearing her say this, Yu Ying on the other side hurriedly ran over to say hello, "Aha, this is the big beauty you have been talking about..."

When she said that, she suddenly forgot Jingzhi's name, and was thinking about the kung fu in her mind, but was interrupted by Liang Jingsheng and said, "This is Chen Jingzhi, I met in the training class of the College of Education." Like us, she is in the first year of her Ph.D. ”

"Hello, I'm Chen Jingzhi." Jingzhi nodded slightly, which counted as an informal self-introduction.

Wu Feifei reacted faster than Yu Ying, and without waiting for Yu Ying to speak, she interjected first and said, "She is Yu Ying, I am Wu Feifei." ”

"Nice to meet you." Jingzhi said happily.

"Ha, there's one more little buddy!" Yu Ying took over and sighed.

Wu Feifei handed the badminton ball in her hand to Jingzhi and said, "You just came, and you haven't moved yet, go play over there." We both played for more than an hour, and our legs were weak, so we rested just right. ”

"Okay, you guys can rest first, and we'll have a fight later." Liang Jingsheng said in a provocative tone.

"No, no, I'm not in good shape today, and my physical strength is not good, so let's do it another day." Wu Feifei shook her head and said helplessly.

Yu Ying also nodded, and echoed and said, "Go and fight, we both have to take a break, we're a little tired." ”

"Okay, there's a chance to have a good fight with you again." Liang Jingsheng waved his hand at Wu Feifei, who was sitting on the bench, and said casually.

Wu Feifei, who was tired, did not answer, but just sat listlessly.

Yu Ying sat next to her, picked up the water glass, and drank the water with a clatter.

It turned out that Liang Jingsheng and they only booked two badminton courts. Wu Feifei and Yu Ying use one venue, and the other three boys use another.

The two girls have been fighting non-stop until now, and Wu Feifei, who has always liked to exert strength, is physically exhausted; Yu Ying has been defending almost all the time, rarely taking the initiative to exert force, and barely retains some physical strength.

The three boys have been playing the game, and if they lose, they are forced to rest, so they take turns to play, and they are not too tired.

When Jingzhi came, it happened that Liang Jingsheng was sitting on the "cold bench".

Now Wu Feifei and Yu Ying are resting, just to free up a space for Liang Jingsheng and Jingzhi.

Jingzhi's level of playing badminton is very average, and it has nothing to do with the professional level.

Liang Jingsheng has asked a professional coach to teach him to practice since he was a child, and his playing is considered to be a professional level, and he plays much better than Jingzhi, and often easily lets Jingzhi run around the court.

Within a few minutes, Jingzhi began to gasp for air.

"You can't do this physical strength, you look like you lack exercise." Liang Jingsheng stood across the net and said in the tone of a teacher educating students.

"Ha, you're right. It's time for me to increase my physical activity. Jingzhi said humbly.

Hearing Jingzhi's words, Liang Jingsheng said proudly, "Yes, fortunately, I called you out to move your muscles and bones, otherwise your studies are not over yet, what should you do if your body is in trouble first?" ”

"Yes, yes," Jingzhi pretended to be a student, "Teacher Liang taught me that I will definitely strengthen physical exercise in the future and try to improve my physical fitness." ”

"Haha!" Liang Jingsheng smiled happily and said, "Then you can join us in the future!" We come here every Sunday to play. Let's exercise together, learn from each other, and make progress together! ”

Hearing Liang Jingsheng say this, Jingzhi couldn't refuse, and hurriedly promised him, "Count me in!" I've adjusted my schedule and come here every Sunday for a while. ”

"Great!" Liang Jingsheng said happily, with an extremely happy smile on his face.
