Chapter 76: Nice advice
Seeing Jingzhi sit down in the chair peacefully, Jason's mood calmed down a little.
He returned to his seat, sat down too, rested his elbows on the table, his hands clenched into fists, his chin propped up, and his face was expressionless, and he could not see any joy or sorrow.
"You know I'm a PhD student at Mutas University......" Jingzhi finally spoke, not too loudly, but she believed that the guest who was now sitting across from her should be able to hear clearly.
"I know that," Jason said quietly, "Florence told me about it before......"
"In addition to my usual scientific work, I also need to teach students."
"Well," Jason said disapprovingly, "teaching assistants, it's normal to always have to help the lecturer with some of the students." ”
"You know?" Jingzhi was a little surprised, she didn't expect Jason to be quite familiar with the nature of her work, as if he had done it himself.
"Of course I do." Jason said calmly, "My undergraduate was in the UK because ......" He didn't continue, but just squeezed out a wry smile very hard and asked, "Are your students undergraduate or master's students?" ”
"It's an undergraduate." Jingzhi replied softly.
"What grade?" Jason asked eagerly.
Jingzhi didn't understand Jason's question, and asked suspiciously, "What grade?" ”
"What I just asked was: What grade are the students you teach?" Jason said very seriously.
"Oh, they're all freshmen in college." Jingzhi replied very seriously.
"First-year freshmen have just entered college and have not yet adapted to university life, so it is really difficult to cope." "So ......" Jason paused for two seconds before asking, "Are you in trouble?" ”
"It's not a big hassle...... Jingzhi shrugged helplessly, "I'm a minute late for class......"
"Oh? You're late? Why? Jason's question is strange, as if he recognizes that Jingzhi is not a person who will be late easily, and it must be because of some "force majeure".
"Alas......" Jingzhi sighed, "There is no reason, I wore a pair of high heels that day, although the distance between the two teaching buildings is not too far, it is not close, and what I didn't expect is that the stairs were full of people and ...... that day."
Jingzhi explained in a rambling manner, and Jason listened carefully without missing a word.
At this time, Su Yi walked over slowly, holding a plate in his hand.
Su Yi looked back and forth at Jingzhi and Jason, and found that both of them were weird, and casually asked, "Are you two hungry?" ”
Jason took the lead and replied in a stubborn tone, "I'm okay, I'm not particularly hungry......"
"Yes...... Su Yi smiled and said to Jingzhi, "Don't mind, Jason, he's been like this since he was a child, he always looks cool, actually, he's ......"
"Ahem......" Su Yi was about to continue, but was immediately interrupted by Jason, "Sister Su Yi, let me help you." ”
"Oh, that'......s good," Su Yi had just finished speaking, when he noticed that Jason had already stood up and placed the two plates of vegetables and two bowls of rice on his plate.
Su Yi took the empty dinner plate, smiled at Jason, and said, "This is sizzling beef and kung pao chicken, I'll send the rest later." ”
Jason bowed slightly very politely and said, "Okay, thank you, Sister Sue......"
"Thank goodness! And Sister Suyi, a gentle person! After meeting her, Jason's mood was much better! Thank God! Jingzhi muttered to herself in her heart.
Jason sat down in the chair again, touched the bangs on his forehead with his hand, and quickly wiped a few drops of sweat from his forehead while Jingzhi was not paying attention.
Jingzhi looked at the two meat dishes on the table and sighed: "Sister Su Yi is so good to you!" ”
"yes, she's really nice to me......" Jason said in a very different tone than he had just been. He seemed to have just been frightened, and he hadn't fully regained his composure.
"What's wrong with you?" Jingzhi asked suspiciously.
"Not much," Jason insisted that he was fine, "Taste it, my recommended dish ......" After speaking, he picked up his chopsticks first, grabbed a random piece ......of beef, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it quickly.
Seeing Jason eating by himself, Jingzhi didn't want to be polite to him anymore, so she picked up her chopsticks and was about to start, when she heard Jason whisper to her, "So, you're late, right?" ”
Jingzhi took the chopsticks in her hand and said in a slightly regretful tone: "Well, I'm late......"
Jason lowered his head and said helplessly, "The first time I met with the students, you were late...... Well, that's not a glorious thing......
Jason spoke calmly, and couldn't hear what he was thinking.
Jingzhi saw that Jason had been chewing carelessly, and said to him aggrievedly: "So, I really don't want to mention this matter......"
"Hmm......" Jason said nonchalantly, "let's eat first, we'll talk later......"
"Okay then......" Jingzhi whispered as she nodded.
It didn't take long for Sue to bring over the other two dishes and the seaweed egg drop soup.
After Su Yi left, Jingzhi whispered to Jason, "Did you tell Sister Su Yi about the dessert we just ordered?" ”
Jason was carefully chewing the food in his mouth when Jingzhi spoke, and he almost bit his tongue when he heard Jingzhi's words.
Jason hastily swallowed the food in his mouth, drank two large mouthfuls of orange juice, calmed down, and pretended to be calm: "I have already told her, let her serve dessert after dinner." ”
Jingzhi felt that Jason's behavior was very strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange, so she had to give up and simply said two words: "Okay......"
Next, the two of them had their own thoughts and ate by themselves, and neither of them spoke again.
After the two of them had eaten almost, Jason put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked Jingzhi with concern: "Do you find it difficult to move between the two classrooms in ten minutes?" ”
Jingzhi never expected that after waiting for so long, Jason would suddenly say such a sentence.
She thought for two seconds and said, "It seems like that......"
Jason stared at Jingzhi solemnly and said, "Then please think about it now, and then tell me what you think is the most time-consuming thing when you go from one classroom to another." ”
Seeing Jingzhi's stunned appearance, Jason emphasized: "Please think about it carefully, and tell me when you think about it." ”
Jason spoke in a very stern tone, like a "judge" interrogating the "prisoner" in front of him very seriously, and constantly pressuring his "prisoner" not to lie.
Jingzhi is very obedient.
She carefully recalled the scene of the class that day, thought for two minutes, and finally concluded: "I walked at least five minutes from one school building to another. ”
"Can it be faster?" Jason continued to ask in his stern tone, "Can you shorten those five minutes to three?" ”
Jingzhi was puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Why did you shorten it to only three minutes?" ”
Jason's expression was still serious, and he said, "The break between classes is only ten minutes, and you're only one minute late.
You just told me that it takes you five minutes to walk from one building to another.
If you can figure out how to make sure that it only takes three minutes to travel between the two buildings in the days to come, you won't be late again if nothing else. ”
"I see!" Jingzhi sighed, "Let me think about it, I was wearing a pair of high heels that day......"
When Jason heard Jingzhi's words, he immediately interrupted her and said, "Don't wear high heels, it will take more time to walk like that, and it will be easy to break your feet, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”
"Then I'm ......" Jingzhi was about to continue talking, but was interrupted by Jason: "On the day you go to class in the future, wear a pair of running shoes." ”
"Running shoes?" Jingzhi thought it was incredible, "Do you want me to practice running before class that day?" ”
"No," Jason waved his hand, "I want you to run over." You have to run from one building to another at the speed of a sprint. In that way, the original five-minute walking time can be shortened by at least half, and the probability of you being late in the future will be greatly reduced. ”
"Oh!" Jingzhi suddenly realized, "So that's the case!" ”
