Chapter 5

The week passed quickly, Shen Qingmeng went to class every day, had lunch with Tang Xin, went swimming after school in the afternoon, went to an Internet café to read books at night, played games with Ji Xinghe, and chatted with QQ when he got home at night.

also quickly got acquainted with Xu Shilin and a few others.

Xu Shilin usually lives at his grandparents' house and goes home on weekends. Jiang Zihao and Li Chi live on campus on weekdays and go home on weekends. So on Friday, Ji Xinghe was the only one who went to the Internet café regularly.

On Friday night, Shen Qingmeng entered the Internet café with a body of water vapor as usual, but found that the position where he usually sits has changed.

There were originally two rows of computers by the window, back to back, and the five of them usually sat in one row. Now two rows of computers are arranged into two pieces, four are arranged into a field grid, and the remaining one is placed on the right side of the field grid, and the curtain is closed.

Shen Qingmeng asked the owner of the Internet café: "Boss, has this been changed to a private room?" ”

The boss returned Shen Qingmeng's money to her: "I have been running an Internet café for so long, and you are the only one who comes to the Internet café every day to study." The guy who always sat with you wrapped these five machines and asked me to close the curtains, so you don't have to pay for it. Such a caring guy, boyfriend, right? ”

Shen Qingmeng put away the money: "Same table, same table." ”

The boss looked incredulous: "It's not enough to be at the same table at school, and you still sit at the same table when you come to the Internet café?" I can see that he leaves you a place every day. ”

Shen Qingmeng really didn't pay attention, every time he came, the position by the window next to Ji Xinghe was empty. originally thought that the four of them had already occupied a row, and it was difficult for others to intervene, but now it seems that Ji Xinghe occupies the seat for her every day.

Lifting the curtain, Ji Xinghe was indeed inside.

Not only has the layout changed, but the whole small "box" is different. There is a table lamp in the middle of the field grid, which is emitting a warm yellow and soft light, and there is even a pot of hydroponic bamboo on the windowsill. The window is ajar, and the faint evening breeze blows in, shaking the leaves of the bamboo, swinging one after another.

Ji Xinghe's screen showed the game loading screen, but there were test papers on the desktop, and he was working hard to write.

Shen Qingmeng leaned over and recognized his own handwriting on one of the test papers. She pulled away the chair beside Ji Xinghe and teased: "I thought that Brother Ji was going to be angry and strong under the shroud of my scholar's glory." ”

Ji Xinghe looked up from the test paper, glanced at the screen, and looked at her again: "Isn't it inspirational for an Internet addicted teenager who doesn't forget to copy his homework while playing games?" ”

This person always said sassy things with a serious expression, if it weren't for the smile in his eyes, Shen Qingmeng would have believed it.

"Hey, you," Shen Qingmeng answered casually, "I usually see that you don't talk much, but you can talk quite well in QQ chat, and when you are familiar, you will talk nonsense seriously, and your face is so good-looking, you will be liked like this, do you know?" ”

Ji Xinghe's face turned suspiciously red for a moment, so fast that Shen Qingmeng thought he was dazzled.

"Aren't you the same, you are a good child and a good student at school, and Shen Qingmeng, the campus goddess, keeps talking when she enters the game, don't you know that the goddess in their hearts in Dalin is about to collapse?"

Shen Qingmeng didn't care about this level of ridicule, and immediately hit the snake with the stick, leaned over and asked, "Then do I still have the character of a goddess in your heart?" ”

The smell of mint, which was stronger than the mint fragrance I smelled when we watched the video together last time, rushed straight into the nasal cavity, mixed with the smell of disinfectant water, and Ji Xinghe's earlobes burst red.

Shen Qingmeng stared at his side face for a while, and felt more and more that Ji Xinghe, whose earlobes turned red when he teased him, was too cute. But it's not too much, so I can only silently retract my gaze to the book.

One reads a book and the other copies homework, and after being quiet for a while, Ji Xinghe said in a low voice: "You are originally a goddess in my heart." ”

Shen Qingmeng listened to it, and his heart was already rolling with joy, and there was still an expression of "I didn't hear anything, I read too seriously" on his face.

Ji Xinghe really thought that she didn't hear it, and maybe she didn't intend to let her hear it when she said it, so he concentrated on looking at the screen and playing the game after saying this.

Shen Qingmeng was happy for a while, and also put his mind on the book.

Ji Xinghe looked away again and looked at her side face.

Shen Qingmeng is not short-sighted, but today she wears a pair of thin-rimmed glasses to hide her clear eyes. She likes to frown when she thinks, squinting her eyes slightly, the upturned corners of her eyes bring out sharp arcs, and the whole person is like a shining sword.

As usual, after reading a chapter, he rested, and when Shen Qingmeng closed the book, Ji Xinghe propped his elbows on the arm of the chair as if he had met for the first time in an Internet café, looking at her screen in a daze.

Shen Qingmeng waved his hand in front of him, and Ji Xinghe's gaze focused on her face: "Why do you like computers?" ”

"Huh?"

Shen Qingmeng didn't expect him to watch it for a long time, and actually asked such a question, and replied after pondering for a while: "It can change our current way of life, bring about great changes in the entire social system, and realize the scenes in science fiction movies one by one, isn't it worth fighting for a lifetime?" ”

"If you don't have a computer, do you have anything else you like and want to fight for for the rest of your life?"

"If I didn't have a computer, I would probably go to art, music. I can play drums, I have formed a band, and we have been singing in bars for a while, and Lao Shen scolded me for this. ”

"Then what if the songs you write are not liked and never become popular?"

"That's nothing, as long as I love it, what if I don't be liked."

"If you can't get on fire, it means you can't make money, you'll starve to death, what are you going to do?"

"Brother Ji, you're raising the bar." Shen Qingmeng protested, "If it's really time to starve to death if the fire doesn't get up, then what kind of love do you want to pursue and cater to the audience to survive first." ”

"Wouldn't that go against your original intention?"

"Please, if you really choose a profession to rely on, the original intention at that time was to make money and live, and when it is not a problem to live, there will be other ideals and pursuits."

"Are you giving up music for the sake of your computer now?"

"Give up something, computers and music don't conflict. I'll give you a paragraph when I have the chance, and you'll know that I'm not giving up. Well, there's nothing good about listening to the drum kit alone, and I'll bring our band over and give you a concert when I have a chance. ”

Ji Xinghe's eyebrows curled, "Okay, I'll make a note of it." ”

Looking at his smiling eyebrows, Shen Qingmeng praised sincerely: "Brother Ji, has anyone said that you look so good when you smile." ”

"Nope."

"Then I'll say it now, and there will be it."

Ji Xinghe stopped looking at her and turned back to the screen: "Your account can already play ranking, do you want to play a game?" ”

Shen Qingmeng also turned his head: "Let's go." ”

The two went online and formed a team, and Shen Qingmeng asked: "Is this 'Starlight' your trumpet?" ”

Ji Xinghe nodded: "My account rank is too high, and I can't rank with you." This was used in the past when they were in a low rank with Dalin. ”

Shen Qingmeng looked at his "Starlight" ID, and looked at his "Moonlight" ID, her expression was a little weird, as if she heard Ji Xinghe's name.

What kind of evil is this?

In fact, Ji Xinghe's name "Starlight" is very understandable, and it is related to his name. Shen Qingmeng's name "Moonlight" is also very understandable, and it is also inextricably related to the name. But the names and IDs of these two people, no matter how you look at them, you can only sigh one sentence, bad fate.

Both of them are high-level trumpeters, and they are basically one-sided crushing, and the end is very fast. Shen Qingmeng, who originally played one game a day, played three games for the first time today. It was already past eleven o'clock when it ended, and Shen Qingmeng turned off the phone and went home.

I thought that Ji Xinghe would also stay up all night on Friday night, but unexpectedly, he also pushed on the keyboard, turned off the phone and got up.

"Hey, Brother Ji, you're only going to go down at eleven o'clock?"

"Well, under the glorious shroud of the scholars, the scumbags also have to go to bed early and get up early."

I can't see that the girl is quite grudgeful, and she gave her back what he just teased. Shen Qingmeng thought secretly.

"Together?"

Ji Xinghe let out a "hmm".

After booking the box, there was no need to check out and get off the plane, and the two walked out of the Internet café directly.

The spring night was still a little cold, and the wind was blowing at both ends in the alley, and Shen Qingmeng sneezed as soon as he came out.

Ji Xinghe glanced at her, silently walked to the front, and blocked the wind for her.

The two of them didn't speak, and walked silently for a while, when Shen Qingmeng suddenly spoke.

"Actually, I did give up music for the sake of computers."

Ji Xinghe, who was walking in front, paused, and then continued to walk forward without speaking.

"My mom and dad didn't object to me making music, and my dad scolded me just because he thought it was wrong for an underage to go to a bar. The first time I actually got into computers was in my dad's lab. He showed me the data from the human genome sequencing process processed by a supercomputer, which was meant to make me fall in love with biology, but made me fall in love with computers. After my dad found out about this reason, his expression of remorse was not the same, and my mom laughed at him for a month.

But he didn't stop me. He encouraged me to try and asked my colleagues in their institute to find me a teacher, who was a biology student, and began to care about the news and the latest scientific research achievements in the field of computers, taught me to read papers, taught me to read books, and taught me to focus on the key points and find the right direction. I once asked him, don't you want me to study biology and try so hard to teach me.

My dad said he hoped biology itself attracted me, not that I couldn't study computer science and switched to biology, in which case he would be angry. If one day, the computer no longer fascinates me, I am welcome to come back at any time, after all, I don't have to teach how to read papers again, the learning method is the same, and it will be too late.

Later, I learned computer science from my teacher. They are all engaged in scientific research, tell you how to learn, and then throw a lot of books and materials, and then realize it yourself, and ask me again if you can't figure it out, don't bother me usually. Then I spent most of my time on the computer, never went to a bar to sing again, and didn't even see the rest of the band anymore. Later, they had a new drummer.

But I didn't completely give up on the drum kit, I practiced it when I was in a good mood, and I practiced it when I was in a bad mood, and I felt that I was quite handsome. ”

Maybe thinking of the scene when he was also "quite handsome", Shen Qingmeng smiled lightly, "So no matter what you have to give up, maintain an attitude of continuous learning, and it will be too late at any time." ”
