Chapter 24: The Summer Solstice
Summer is Qin Xiaotian's favorite season, as soon as the beginning of summer is over, the weather is gradually getting hotter, as soon as the summer solstice arrives, a semester is coming to an end, and the life of the first graduate school is about to end.
Qin Xiaotian likes the taste of summer, damp and sticky, the sun is shining, the green leaves are luxuriant, the south wind blows with a moist and hot breath that makes her not feel bored, standing in the green ginkgo road, looking up, you can see the sunlight through the layers of fan-shaped leaves sprinkled to the ground. Ginkgo biloba also becomes transparent due to the light, and the green is slightly yellow, which is very beautiful. Qin Xiaotian loves the early morning and evening of summer, the sun is not scorching, and it is best to go out for a walk. In the cool morning, you can sit on the stone bench and watch the blooming flowers and green leaves, and in the evening, you can sit in the open playground and enjoy the burning clouds and the red dusk. The most important thing is that you can sweat in the summer and then make yourself a little thinner and wear a beautiful dress.
After completing the interview with Wanyuan Tea Industry, Qin Xiaotian was in a much more cheerful mood, and the internship was gradually on the right track, not only that, she was planning to be a tutor, and she had already contacted the parents of the students to prepare for the trial class. If she can tutor 8 times a month, plus the salary of the internship and the occasional paid tasks assigned by the tutor, her monthly income can reach more than 2,500 yuan, which is already a good income for a current student. Qin Xiaotian is a publicly-funded graduate student, in addition to paying accommodation fees every year, she only needs to bear living expenses, and her monthly income of more than 2,000 is enough for her to live well in school.
"Why?" Yuan Dutian patted Qin Xiaotian's shoulder from behind. From a distance, he saw Qin Xiaotian pacing with his legs crossed under the tree, although it was his back, he could feel that Qin Xiaotian was in a good mood, and the corners of his mouth should be raised.
Qin Xiaotian turned around and smiled at Yuan Dutian, when she turned around, the white skirt floated up, and she suddenly felt a little fairy in the moonlight at night.
"What are you smiling at?" Yuan Dutian couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and pulled Qin Xiaotian into his arms. They haven't seen each other for three or four days, and they usually contact by text message, and the message box is full.
Qin Xiaotian shook his head and said happily: "I don't know, I'm happy, maybe it's because summer is coming!" ”
"Silly girl!" Yuan Dutian scratched the tip of Qin Xiaotian's nose.
"Will anyone see this place?" Just after being happy for a while, Qin Xiaotian's cautious timidity began to make trouble again. It's next to the bustling Ginkgo Road, and although it's late, there are still a lot of campus couples wandering around the dark corners.
"What are you afraid of, it's so late, who will look at you! It's your white dress that attracts attention. Yuan Dutian took Qin Xiaotian's hand and walked towards the depths of the woods.
"Huh? Then I'll wear black next time so that no one else will see it. Qin Xiaotian actually took it seriously, she was really afraid of being discovered, how embarrassing and embarrassing it was.
"Are you going to be a thief every day? Still wearing black?! Yuan Dutian was obviously very dissatisfied with Qin Xiaotian's words.
"What if you don't?" Qin Xiaotian pouted.
"What to do? Do what you have to do. If I see it, I'll see it, although I'm a little unsure in my heart, but think about it one day everyone will know, it's a matter of time. Yuan Dutian is now calmer than Qin Xiaotian in his heart.
"Then you'll have to wait until you graduate, or when you're about to graduate." Qin Xiaotian gave Yuan Dutian a big look.
This time, Yuan Dutian changed his eyes. "Do you want to keep sneaking around and hiding from anyone else?"
"Of course not, it's not like I didn't think about it, and there's no good way. I'm worried, worried......" Qin Xiaotian didn't dare to continue, she has always been a person who can make bad intentions.
"Worried about what?" Yuan Dutian asked.
"I'm worried that if we break up one day after everyone knows about it, it will be embarrassing in school, and I don't want to be the talk and laughing stock of other people." Qin Xiaotian shrunk his neck.
Yuan Dutian poked Qin Xiaotian's head.
"What do you think about all day long? We've only gotten better, why did you think about breaking up in a few months? Sometimes I don't know what's going on in your head! Excessive anxiety! Yuan Dutian was a little angry.
"Don't be angry, I'm just saying just in case, just expressing my true thoughts in my heart." Qin Xiaotian grabbed Yuan Dutian's arm and shook it as if flatteringly.
Yuan Dutian sighed. He himself didn't understand what it was like to feel about Qin Xiaotian. This girl managed to attract his attention, he liked her, but did he love? In fact, he wasn't sure, he just felt that he sometimes wanted to see her at school, just like tonight, he thought that although he was sunny, he was not a warm male type, he didn't understand too much of a girl's mind, and he wasn't too experienced in getting along with men and women, he just simply liked to be with Qin Xiaotian, and being with her made him comfortable and relaxed. Qin Xiaotian didn't want to make the relationship public, he didn't force it, in fact, he didn't think about whether he should make it public, it always felt inappropriate to be a teacher, but it didn't seem to be a way to hide it all the time. Besides, Qin Xiaotian's words just now made Yuan Dutian's heart shock, break up? Yes, any lover can face a separation, and they are no exception, but can they bear the pain of a breakup again? Thinking about it this way, it's better to go with the flow.
Yuan Dutian pointed at his face domineeringly and leaned in front of Qin Xiaotian.
Qin Xiaotian paused for a moment, thinking that what he had just said had made him angry, but he quickly reacted, smiled and turned his face away, and quickly turned around and took the initiative to kiss Yuan Dutian's right cheek.
Yuan Dutian smiled with satisfaction, and said to Qin Xiaotian: "This is good!" ”
Qin Xiaotian instantly felt that he had fallen into a huge pit, and he was completely deceived.
"What has Mr. Yuan been busy with lately?" Qin Xiaotian deliberately dragged out his voice.
Whenever Qin Xiaotian called Teacher Yuan Dutian, Yuan Dutian knew that she began to deliberately ridicule him or deliberately find fault.
"I'm not busy with anything, I'm just busy teaching and preparing for classes, playing ball, and receiving the screams and applause of the girls." Yuan Dutian looked unserious.
Qin Xiaotian hated it in his heart. This Yuan Dutian, on the outside, looks serious, sometimes even feels unkind, but inside he doesn't know how sullen and dark he is, which is completely different from what he looks on the surface, hum!
"Who doesn't know that Teacher Yuan is popular! Hmph, they won't believe it if they know that you still have this side, even I have been deceived by you. Qin Xiaotian was deceived and aggrieved.
"What side of me do I have?"
"You, you...... You hooligan and insidious! Qin Xiaotian couldn't think of how to describe it for a while, and blurted out the word hooligan.
"Am I a rogue? When did I play hooligan? Yuan Dutian's eyes widened, and he was angry and amused.
"You deliberately teased me just now, and you're not a hooligan, hum!" Qin Xiaotian was not convinced.
"I don't think what I did just now looks like a hooligan, but since you think I'm a hooligan, then I'll show you once, otherwise how can I be worthy of the name you gave me." Yuan Dutian approached Qin Xiaotian to look at her eyes, and said slowly with half-squinted eyes.
Qin Xiaotian panicked suddenly, and instinctively retreated.
"You still say that you are not a hooligan, look at the way you look now and what you say now, where do you look like a decent gentleman. You are not allowed to come, and if you come over, I will call Teacher Yuan to play a hooligan." "Qin Xiaotian is an uninteresting threat.
"You shout! I'll see how loud you can shout. "It's funny, he's not scared, this girl's brain is really bad.
"I'm going to shout......" Qin Xiaotian was about to shout, when his lips drowned out the words behind him. Qin Xiaotian's brain suddenly "buzzed", exploded, and after being blank for two seconds, he immediately realized that this kiss was very different from Yuan Dutian's previous kiss on her.
Before, they had at most gently touched their lips like dragonflies and water, and they had kissed only a handful of times, probably two or three times. This time, she can only blame Qin Xiaotian herself, who told her to open her mouth, so that Yuan Dutian could take advantage of it, this time Yuan Dutian ran directly at Qin Xiaotian's tongue. Yuan Dutian's tongue was warm and moist, and it directly touched Qin Xiaotian's tongue, Qin Xiaotian was startled and wanted to retract his tongue, but who knew that Yuan Dutian wrapped his tongue deeper. Qin Xiaotian only felt that he couldn't breathe, so he could only let Yuan Dutian invade unscrupulously. Qin Xiaotian clutched the shirt on Yuan Dutian's waist tightly, tightly, unable to move, she couldn't move anymore.
The moment Yuan Dutian kissed Qin Xiaotian's lips, his mind suddenly became unconscious, at that second he seemed to feel that he only wanted to kiss Qin Xiaotian, and the next second he asked himself how could this be, but he had already kissed deeply, so he could only kiss deeper. Yuan Dutian was also surprised by his sudden move, this surprise was buried in his heart, he decided not to think about it, and simply kissed Qin Xiaotian. Qin Xiaotian's stiff reaction made his kiss a little gentle, she didn't refuse or respond too much, so his kiss became long and slow, as if to let Qin Xiaotian take a good breath.
Qin Xiaotian was half frightened to death by Yuan Dutian's sudden change in painting style, this rascal played really thoroughly, he smashed her tongue at the beginning, it was a little intense that she couldn't bear it, and now it became lingering and compassionate, burning her lips gently and coldly. She couldn't help but wrap her arms around Yuan Dutian's waist and slowly closed her eyes.
Yuan Dutian saw that Qin Xiaotian closed his eyes, and he also closed his eyes slightly, tossing and turning between Qin Xiaotian's lips and the tip of his nose, the hot and humid air seemed to stop, there was no airflow, no wind, no sound, only a light kiss.
When Qin Xiaotian opened her eyes and looked at each other, she found that Yuan Dutian was looking at her face intently, and then she felt that her face and neck were slightly hot. This was not the first kiss between the two, but this kiss made Qin Xiaotian's heart palpitate.
"Do you still say I'm a hooligan?" Yuan Dutian suddenly came with such a sentence without heart and lungs, which made Qin Xiaotian almost vomit blood. He pounded Yuan Dutian's chest indiscriminately.
"Why are you like this? Dislike! Qin Xiaotian blushed and sneered.
Yuan Dutian looked at her red face and neck and was secretly happy, this Qin Xiaotian was really cute, so he grabbed Qin Xiaotian's hand and pulled her into his arms and hugged her.
"Besides, besides, I want to be kissed again." Yuan Dutian warned Qin Xiaotian.
Qin Xiaotian just wanted to raise his hand to hit Yuan Dutian, but he held down his wrist and kissed him again.
"How? Do you still want to fight? ”
Yuan Dutian is really a scoundrel when he plays Lai, Qin Xiaotian can be regarded as having learned what it means to be two-faced, on the one hand, he seems to be gentle and serious, and on the other hand, he is completely a dead-skinned Laipi dog with no proper face.
Qin Xiaotian wanted to pull out her wrist, but she was kissed again, she was really completely defeated.
The two went back and forth several times, and Qin Xiaotian had to half-beg for mercy and half-ruthlessly: "Teacher Yuan, I'm going back to the dormitory, and if I don't go back, I'll have to sleep on the streets." ”
Yuan Dutian looked at his watch, it was already past 11 o'clock, so he had to let go of Qin Xiaotian and pull her towards the girl's apartment. Qin Xiaotian lowered her head all the way, for fear of being recognized, and for fear that others would see her crimson face.
Back in the dormitory, Tian Li and Xiaojuan had already gone to bed and turned on the small light. Tian Li was cooking porridge on the phone, and when she heard it, she knew that the other party was Chen Shaoyu, and Xiaojuan was flipping through magazines on the bed. When he opened the curtain and saw Qin Xiaotian coming back, he asked, "Xiaotian, why did you come back so late?" Why did you go? ”
Qin Xiaotian was afraid that Xiao Juan would find out her flushed face, so she was embarrassed to lie to Xiao Juan: "I went to self-study and got a little late, and I came out and met a few friends I knew to eat something." After that, he went to the bathroom to wash up.
Hu Xiaojuan will be suspicious, she has always felt that Qin Xiaotian is sneaky recently, and she doesn't know what she is hiding. One day she should make an appointment with Tian Li to interrogate her, Hu Xiaojuan leaned back on the pillow and continued to flip through the magazine.
The next day was Friday, and Qin Xiaotian went to the weekly magazine for an internship as usual. Not long after arriving at the office, I heard a colleague next to me whispering that Xu Licen had taken a leave of absence because his father was hospitalized. Not long after, Qin Xiaotian's phone rang, and it was Xu Licen calling. She briefly talked about the situation of asking for leave, and it is estimated that she will not come to work for a week, so she needs Qin Xiaotian to help her take care of some things, including taking the written manuscript of the interview with Wanyuan Tea Industry to Zheng Zonghe and the editor-in-chief for review, and if there is no problem, it can be officially typeset and printed.
After Qin Xiaotian hung up the phone, according to Xu Licen's instructions, he took out the first draft of the interview from her drawer and read it carefully. The photography and text are very good, and several famous teas of Wanyuan Tea Industry are also recommended, which are displayed in short paragraphs of pictures + short articles, and the text is concise and concise. The interview part is in the form of questions and answers, Zheng Zheng's story with the growth of the company was written into a general draft, the article structure and text expression are good, Qin Xiaotian sighed in his heart: Xu Licen may not be very good to her, but her business ability is really good. She only needs to polish the manuscript again, and the typos are corrected, and it is basically completed.
After reading the manuscript, Qin Xiaotian picked up his mobile phone and dialed the phone number of the secretary office of the general manager of Wanyuan Tea Industry.
A delicate and gentle female voice came from the other end of the phone. Qin Xiaotian identified himself and asked if Zheng Zheng was in the company, she needed to personally hand over the manuscript to him for review, the secretary checked Zheng Zheng's itinerary, replied to Qin Xiaotian that Zheng was free to meet at three o'clock in the afternoon, and then politely hung up the phone.
At 2:50 in the afternoon, Qin Xiaotian appeared in the elevator of Wanyuan Tea Industry Headquarters, and she pressed the elevator to the 28th floor.
"Hello, I am the real ...... of "Considerable" just about to say a few words of intern reporter,
Qin Xiaotian swallowed the word internship back into his stomach, "Reporter." ”
"I'm here to find Mr. Zheng and bring him the manuscript of the previous interview with him to show him." Qin Xiaotian continued.
"Have you made an appointment?" The female secretary smiled professionally.
"I called in the morning to make an appointment, my surname is Qin." Qin Xiaotian raised his voice slightly.
The secretary flipped through her notebook and quickly looked up and said politely: "Hello Miss Qin, please come with me, Mr. Zheng is waiting for you." After speaking, he walked out of the front desk and led the way for Qin Xiaotian.
This is not the first time Qin Xiaotian has been here, she came here with Xu Licen and Qiu Editor during an interview last week. Therefore, this time I was much more relieved than the last time, and I was not as cautious and nervous as last time. She kept up with the female secretary and prepared to wait for Zheng Zheng to meet her.
At the door of the huge frosted glass door, Qin Xiaotian waited for the secretary to open the door to report the visit. As soon as the female secretary opened the door, Zheng Zheng asked, "Are you here?" ”
"Hello Mr. Zheng, the guest has arrived, I invite her in." The female secretary replied respectfully.
As soon as Qin Xiaotian stepped into the office of about 30 square meters, her heart suddenly began to be nervous, this was the first time she faced Zheng Zheng, a famous entrepreneur who she could usually hear but could not see and reach.
Zheng Zheng saw Qin Xiaotian come in, raised his head and beckoned to her, motioning for her to come over and sit down in front of him.
"Hello Mr. Zheng, Reporter Xu asked me to show you the manuscript of the last interview to see if there is anything that needs to be revised?" Qin Xiaotian sat opposite Zheng Zheng, took out the sample from his bag, and handed it to Zheng Zheng with respectful hands.
Zheng Zheng took the manuscript and swept it to the side of the table, and said with a half-command: "I'll take a closer look later, I'll inform you if there's anything to change, go have a cup of tea now." With that, he got up and walked behind the screen.
There is a space separated by a screen next to Zheng Zheng's desk, which is specially designed to entertain visitors for tea, usually only important guests or friends Zheng Zheng will personally invite them to tea, Qin Xiaotian is an exception, but Qin Xiaotian does not know. She thought that Zheng Zheng was just inviting her to tea out of politeness to the guests, so she hurriedly waved her hand and refused: "No, Mr. Zheng, you are also busy, I won't bother, I have to report back to the society to catch up with the draft, so I won't drink tea, thank you!" ”
When Zheng Zheng heard this, he didn't show displeasure, but was a little surprised, and he said unhurriedly: "It's okay, I don't care about this time." After speaking, he made a "please" gesture with his right hand.
This time it was Qin Xiaotian's turn to be embarrassed, he lowered his head and secretly hated that he shouldn't refuse so quickly, it was completely kind to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs, what did Mr. Zheng think!
"Then I'm sorry to bother, thank you, Mr. Zheng." Qin Xiaotian nodded and stepped behind the screen.
What greeted Qin Xiaotian's eyes was a large antique yellow rosewood tea table, on which were placed all kinds of tea sets, and there were several sets of teapots, teacups, and elegant cups. Zheng Zheng is holding a small purple clay pot, the shape is very unique, the top of the lid is a Pixiu, the tip of the spout is shorter and lower than the tip of the mouth of the ordinary teapot, the body of the pot is round and full, and the whole body shows a delicate brown-red luster, it seems that this pot is worth a lot. Qin Xiaotian was still carefully examining these tea sets, but Zheng Zheng had already brewed the first tea with an automatic boiling water device.
"Taste it." Zheng Zheng raised the purple clay pot, and the crystal clear tea poured down from the spout, falling a beautiful arc, and poured into the glazed white small porcelain cup, the clear and transparent liquid with a little yellow-green exuded a strong tea fragrance.
"This is the best Dongting Biluochun, and we are using it to develop a tea product called 'Butterfly Dance'." Zheng Zheng said as he took out a few pieces of tea leaves from the tea can with a teaspoon and showed them to Qin Xiaotian, the shape of the tea leaves was curled like a snail. Zheng Zheng took out a few pieces of tea and gently wound them twice with his hands, and the inconspicuous tea leaves in front of him turned into two circles, one large and one small, looking like a green *** hanging full of white hair.
"Wow! It's so beautiful" Qin Xiaotian sighed from the bottom of his heart, it was so amazing, it was the first time I saw it conjuring up shape with tea leaves.
Zheng Zheng just smiled faintly, this kind of technology is also innovative for them, the main target customers must be accurate, like this kind of raw materials have good taste and good appearance of tea do not worry about selling.
Qin Xiaotian picked up a small cup and pretended to take a sip of tea elegantly, which made the tip of her tongue numb and could only endure it, frowning and swallowing her throat, feeling that although it was a little bitter, the tender and light tea fragrance suddenly spread all over her mouth, and the sweetness of the tea was reflected on her tongue after a while, and it was really full of tea fragrance.
"Delicious!" Qin Xiaotian gave a thumbs up.
Zheng Zheng took care of himself to make tea, and when he saw Qin Xiaotian finish drinking, he added another cup to Qin Xiaotian.
"Do you know that the water temperature of brewing green tea should not be too high, about 80 degrees is better, otherwise it will ruin its taste." Zheng Zheng used his palm to compare the posture of "please drink tea".
Qin Xiaotian picked up the white and clear small porcelain cup and took a sip slightly, the aroma passed through his throat from his nostrils, Qin Xiaotian secretly admired Zheng Zheng in his heart: It turns out that drinking tea can tell so much knowledge and culture. After three teas, Qin Xiaotian once again offered to leave, but this time Zheng Zheng did not forcibly keep him.
"Thank you Mr. Zheng for your hospitality, the tea is delicious, thank you!" Qin Xiaotian stood up and thanked Zheng Zheng.
"If you have the opportunity to come to me again for tea, you are welcome at any time." Zheng Zheng is very gentlemanly and politely invites with open arms.
"Thank you, Mr. Zheng, I hope there will be this honor." Qin Xiaotian Chao Zheng Zheng nodded in gratitude.
Qin Xiaotian never imagined that she would see Zheng Zheng again in the future, she thought that after the interview, she would have no intersection with this high-ranking business wizard. Watching Qin Xiaotian close the door, the corners of Zheng Zheng's mouth were hooked, and there was an indescribable meaning. Zheng Zheng himself would not have expected that he would be willing to meet this little girl, just because of an accident before the last interview, maybe even Qin Xiaotian didn't pay attention to it at all, but he wrote it down.
Before the interview that day, the employees of their company and the staff of the newspaper and weekly were making preparations, arranging the interview room, lighting, reflectors, etc., and Qin Xiaotian was also busy in it, and it can be said that he was the one who came in and out the most. When Qin Xiaotian was carrying a chair from outside to enter the interview room, he happened to see Zheng Zheng reprimanding a female employee in the aisle. The female employee seemed to be a newcomer to the company, and she didn't know what happened to be scolded by Zheng Zheng so much that she shrunk her neck and looked like she was going to cry. Qin Xiaotian didn't want to be nosy, but because the two of them happened to block her way in the aisle, it was impossible for her to put down her chair and wait for them to finish arguing. Zheng Zheng especially remembered Qin Xiaotian's appearance at that time, with an anxious face and an expression that he didn't know him and didn't know what happened to him and his subordinates, and pretended to be calm and said to him: "Excuse me, two, interrupt." There's an important interview in that office inside, and I'll need to move a chair in and make way for the two of you. Thank you! Hearing this, first of all, the female employee was a little confused, and looked at Qin Xiaotian with a pitiful face, Qin Xiaotian was a little unbearable when he saw her like that. looked up at Zheng Zheng and found that he was also looking at her, Qin Xiaotian couldn't see what Zheng Zheng's calm and seemingly contemptuous expression was trying to express, so he shook his hand at him at the risk of death, signaled the two of them to get out of the way, and then added: "Please don't quarrel here for a while, wait for an interview about Mr. Zheng, it's not good to be heard." After saying that, you should be kind enough to remind them and smile slightly. The female employee was even more confused, thinking: Where did this stool come from, even Mr. Zheng didn't know?
Seeing that Zheng Zheng and the female employee gave way to get out of the way, Qin Xiaotian hurriedly moved the stool and passed quickly with her head down, she didn't want Zheng Zheng to see anything. After such a stir, Zheng Zheng had no choice but to wave at the female employee and let her go back to work, and the female employee fell half of the stone in her heart, thinking that she was lucky to meet Qin Xiaotian, otherwise she would be finished.
Later, when he entered the interview room, Zheng Zheng saw Qin Xiaotian, Qin Xiaotian did not express any surprise, and acted as if nothing had happened before, but he had been avoiding the opportunity to meet his eyes. Zheng Zheng knew very well in her heart that when Qin Xiaotian asked him to get out of the way outside, she already knew who he was. He really wanted to guide Qin Xiaotian and tell her that she was still too young and didn't understand the world, and she was only halfway through acting, and as soon as she solved the problem in front of her, she simply stopped acting, and she really had no professionalism. When she sarcastically mocked Qin Xiaotian in her heart, Zheng Zheng couldn't help but pay more attention to Qin Xiaotian, she was busy working in and out, she seemed to be more down-to-earth, she had a tenacity in doing things, and she kept asking this and that, and she didn't let herself be idle. Well, it's not very beautiful, but it's still a Peugeot, Zheng Zheng's first feeling is that he can be recruited as an employee of his own to train well. Thinking of this, Zheng Zheng couldn't help but smile deeply.
Qin Xiaotian walked downstairs to Wanyuan Tea Industry, looked up at this tall building, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. This Zheng Zheng is really incredible, he has so many assets at a young age, and he doesn't know who has the blessing and charm to accept this kind of man? Thinking of this, Qin Xiaotian shook his head and persuaded himself to put aside these boring thoughts, and he had to hurry up and report back to the club to complete the rest of the work, and then, go on a date with Yuan Dutian in the evening.
As soon as he thought that he could watch a movie with Yuan Dutian at night, the deer in Qin Xiaotian's heart began to collide, so excited, hehe.
