Chapter 14: Old Wounds

The weather is getting colder, especially in the morning and evening, Qin Xiaotian sometimes has to put on a coat or even a cotton coat, and before he knows it, the first semester of graduate school has passed most of it.

Since the last welcome party dinner, Chen Shaoyu has been pursuing Tian Li, Tian Li, wanting to refuse and welcome, making Chen Shaoyu scratch his head and scratch his brain, like a headless fly, he doesn't know what method to use. He had already tried to invite dinner, send flowers, and ask out to play, but Tian Li's attitude was still ambiguous. And Tian Li is so happy to be pursued desperately, and she is happy in her heart. Approaching the critical time of choosing a tutor, at Tian Li's request, Chen Shaoyu used all the connections at his disposal to invite a few senior brothers and sisters from the journalism department and the senior brothers and sisters from the law school to have dinner together, hoping to let Tian Li and the girls in their dormitory understand the direction and preferences of each tutor through eating, which is the easiest way to communicate.

"I heard that Chen Shaoyu has made appointments with several tutors to bring students, and we have a good relationship with them, which will definitely help to choose a tutor." Tian Li curled up on the chair on two legs and nibbled on apples and said to Hu Xiaojuan and Qin Xiaotian.

"I want to study radio journalism, and it's my dream to be a radio presenter." Hu Xiaojuan poked her head out of the bathroom with a face cotton in her hand, "So I must become a student of Teacher Chai." ”

Hu Xiaojuan has always had a clear goal, but as a beauty, it was really unexpected for Qin Xiaotian to just want to be a faceless radio host.

"Xiaojuan, you have such a beautiful face, it's a pity not to go to the TV station!" Qin Xiaotian leaned back in his chair and looked lazy.

"What's good about TV stations, I like to be a radio presenter." Hu Xiaojuan's voice came from the bathroom, and she couldn't see her expression, but her voice was firm.

"Lily, what about you? Have you figured out who to choose as a mentor? Qin Xiaotian turned his head and asked Tian Li, who was still nibbling on apples.

"You've got a direction, I don't know yet! I don't have any direction, I just want to have a stable job after graduation, but I don't really want to do TV and radio, I can only hold a pen, and I haven't thought about it yet, or should I develop in the academic field? Tian Li belongs to a person who doesn't seem to have any ideas, but is actually very smart, and she is very popular and very good, she asked this because she didn't completely think about the way forward, and secondly, she needed time to think about it, no wonder she asked Chen Shaoyu to arrange tomorrow's senior brother and sister meeting.

"I kind of wanted to be a student of Dan Teacher, I heard that he is about to retire, although he has been with graduate students for a long time, but there are not too many students. I heard that he has a good character and is very good to his students, but he is more maverick, and many teachers in the academy think he is high. I wonder if it's true? Qin Xiaotian asked Tian Li, Qin Xiaotian is a person who has no heart and is direct and frank, and he will not speak around the corner.

"But the teacher? I took his classes when I was an undergraduate, and he never named them, but his classes were very interesting, and he was more interested in history, and he often told us a little bit of wild history, a very humorous person. As for Qinggao, maybe he is not very sociable, so some people think that he is self-assured! Tian Li replied nonchalantly.

"Then am I the right person to choose him as a mentor?" Qin Xiaotian was actually very hesitant in her heart, she was not as clear as Hu Xiaojuan's goal and so idea.

"It's up to you, but the teacher is more interested in ancient literature, if you are interested in literature, especially ancient literature, you can choose him." Tian Li threw away the apple core and prepared to wash her hands.

"I'm interested in literature, but I can't stand classical Chinese." Qin Xiaotian pursed her mouth, did she really want her to gnaw on those difficult classical Chinese?

"If you go and look at the articles written by the teacher, the classics he cites are basically ancient allusions, so if you want to become his student, I'm afraid you have to look at ancient literature." Tian Li is colorful.

Qin Xiaotian nodded, looking deeply thoughtful.

"By the way, Lily, can I call that Chunming tomorrow?" Qin Xiaotian suddenly remembered, isn't that Chun Ming a student who wants to be Vice Dean Zhao, this opportunity to exchange should be called to him, he is also a fellow countryman, and it is necessary to unite as a student from another school and share information.

"Yo, why are you thinking about Chunming for any good thing?" Hu Xiaojuan began to wipe her skin care products after washing, and when she heard Qin Xiaotian mention that Chunming, she couldn't help but want to tease Qin Xiaotian.

"What's the matter, it's all in the same class, and he and I are fellow villagers, so of course we want to help each other!" Qin Xiaotian was right.

"Okay, I'll talk to Chen Shaoyu, just add a pair of dishes and chopsticks." Tian Li didn't mind.

"Lily, I think tomorrow's dinner will still be our AA, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to let Chen Shaoyu pay for it!" Qin Xiaotian didn't want to owe favors.

"Wait until I ask Chen Shaoyu tomorrow, if he wants to invite him to dinner, then K song will be out of our dormitory that night!" Tian Li is also very simple, she and Chen Shaoyu have not yet determined the relationship, it is better not to take advantage of others too much.

"Chen Shaoyu is very good to you, when are you going to do it, Lily?" Hu Xiaojuan suddenly changed her words.

"Xiaojuan, you should know better than me, you are the happiest when you are chased, and when you catch up, you will only quarrel, and men still have to test more." Tian Li looked disapproving of Chen Shaoyu.

"I'm not like you as a mother-in-law, just go if you like it!" Hu Xiaojuan glanced at her, and Qin Xiaotian speculated that her character who dared to love and hate was afraid that feelings would come and go quickly.

The three of them talked and laughed and turned off the lights and fell asleep.

The next day was Saturday, around four o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them began to figure out their work, Hu Xiaojuan matched clothes and makeup, Tian Li and Qin Xiaotian were a little troublesome, so they could only rely on Hu Xiaojuan to dress up.

Hu Xiaojuan opened the wardrobe of the two, quickly searched the clothes inside with her eyes, flashed the effect of Tian Li and Qin Xiaotian putting them on in her mind, and finally helped Tian Li choose a blue and white long-sleeved T-shirt, dark blue pencil jeans and a waist-cinching mid-length windbreaker. helped Qin Xiaotian choose a woolen skirt that was less than the knee, and put it on the imitation fur short version of the long-sleeved shoulders.

"All in boots!" Hu Xiaojuan even thought of what shoes to wear, and she deserves to be a fashionista.

Tian Li and Qin Xiaotian quickly put them on and gave them to Hu Xiaojuan for review, Hu Xiaojuan looked at the clothes of the two like a fashion magazine editor, pointed to Tian Li's clothes very professionally and said: "Change the T-shirt into your light-colored shirt with polka dots, and jeans are tied to the clothes." Then he said to Qin Xiaotian: "Miss, do you have any other styles of stockings?" This one looks too thick, and it looks fat! ”

Qin Xiaotian searched the closet for a long time, holding up a pair of black threaded stockings to show Hu Xiaojuan, "Is this okay?" Qin Xiaotian felt that he was weak.

Hu Xiaojuan reluctantly nodded and said, "It's better than the one just now." ”

After the clothes are ready, it is time to put on some light makeup, because they are going to play at night, and taking this opportunity, Tian Li and Qin Xiaotian both want to learn some makeup skills from Hu Xiaojuan. Hu Xiaojuan did not hesitate to put her cosmetics out and began to teach the two classmates, and demonstratively put on light makeup suitable for their respective styles for her two roommates. Tian Li and Qin Xiaotian looked at each other dumbfounded, wow, is this still the usual Tian Li and Qin Xiaotian? The appearance has instantly improved a notch!

"Xiaojuan, take us to buy cosmetics one day." Tian Li looked at her beautiful self in the mirror, and her heart was itchy.

"Okay, I'll be your counselor." Hu Xiaojuan is very satisfied with her results today.

The dormitory phone rings. "It must be Chen Shaoyu!" Tian Li hurriedly went to answer the phone. Sure enough, it was him.

"Lily, I'll go out now, I'll be downstairs in 10 minutes, you're almost down!" Chen Shaoyu's voice came out of the microphone.

"Got it, we'll come down in a minute." Tian Li hung up the phone.

The three of them sped up, collecting their bags and drinking water.

Qin Xiaotian didn't forget to call Na Chunming, "Chunming, Chen Shaoyu said that he will come out soon, you should come over quickly, don't be late!" ”

"I've already contacted Shaoyu, let's come together." That Chunming has always been a very thoughtful person.

In the morning, when Qin Xiaotian told him to let him attend the meeting with his senior brothers and sisters in the evening, he was in a good mood like the sun rising in early summer, Qin Xiaotian was willing to worry about his own affairs, which made him feel warm, and at the same time, he also knew that he had to thank Chen Shaoyu, so he specially invited Chen Shaoyu to lunch at noon. Last time, Chen Shaoyu and another boy sent him back to the dormitory late at night, and he didn't have time to thank him, and this time he just found a reason to invite Chen Shaoyu to dinner. Na Chunming and Chen Shaoyu originally lived in the same building, and they would meet from time to time, and now they are also friends.

Chen Shaoyu and Na Chunming's eyes lit up when they saw Tian Li and Qin Xiaotian coming down the stairs, and Hu Xiaojuan saw the eyes of the two of them, thinking that she had succeeded.

"Lily, let's go first, senior brother and sister, they will be there later, let's order a private room first." Chen Shaoyu's eyes never left Tian Li's body, she was dressed very capably, and her camel-colored mid-length trench coat was very flattering to her slender legs.

Na Chunming's eyes also glanced at Qin Xiaotian from time to time, with short shoulders, a non-knee-length woolen skirt and mid-rise boots, with Qin Xiaotian's petite figure being pretty and cute. Even if she doesn't apply powder, she looks good, Na Chunming thought.

The expressions of Chunming and Chen Shaoyu were all seen by Hu Xiaojuan, and she sarcastically said in her heart: Did these two women do it on purpose? The two men showed their intentions so obviously, were they stupid or pretending?

The five of them came to the fashionable restaurant "Cloud House", found a private room in the back, ordered more than 10 dishes, and waited for the arrival of the senior brothers and sisters.

When the dishes were served, five senior brothers and sisters came one after another, except for one who was Chen Shaoyu's senior sister from the law school, the rest were from the journalism department. After a brief introduction, Chen Shaoyu made an opening remark: "Brothers and sisters, it is really rare for everyone to meet for the first time today, and there will be many disturbances in the future, and I hope to help and forgive me, on behalf of my brothers and sisters, I will first toast you with a cup." After speaking, he poured a glass of white wine into his mouth.

As soon as everyone saw Chen Shaoyu's generous speech, they also took the initiative to toast, and they also raised their glasses to salute their brothers and sisters. Because the brothers and sisters from the Department of Journalism who were invited happened to be graduate students with different tutors, Qin Xiaotian and the others just happened to have a detailed understanding of the different personalities and professional directions of each tutor, which made them more aware of it.

Hu Xiaojuan had a good amount of wine, and had already saluted Mr. Chai's senior brother Rong Xinsheng several times, Hu Xiaojuan pretended to be slightly drunk and leaned in front of Rong Xinsheng and asked: "Senior Brother Rong, you just said that you are interning in the radio station, can you do me a favor, introduce me, I also want to go to the radio station for an internship, if I can, I will be grateful." ”

Rong Xinsheng saw the beautiful little junior sister pleading with him like this, and said with a red face: "Yes, no problem, wait until the next time I see the director to ask him to see if I can recruit another intern." ”

Hu Xiaojuan likes to listen to men with good voices, Rong Xinsheng is, she has no immunity to the thick and magnetic baritone or bass, so when she heard Rong Xinsheng speak, half of her soul was hooked. Rong Xinsheng does have a good voice, otherwise it would be impossible to go to the radio station as an intern substitute anchor, at the beginning, he was just a director, and then there happened to be a male anchor of a column who was injured and hospitalized before he had the opportunity to be on the anchor station.

Hu Xiaojuan likes handsome guys, especially handsome guys with good voices, Rong Xinsheng just meets this condition, so after hearing Rong Xinsheng's voice and knowing that he was still interning on the radio, Hu Xiaojuan secretly decided to chase Rong Xinsheng.

After dinner, it was more than eight o'clock, the nightlife of Xiangcheng had just begun, everyone drank a little wine at the dinner, talked very happily, it was the time of high interest, several people took three cars and went straight to the cash cabinet KTV to continue the second half.

Qin Xiaotian, Na Chunming and Senior Brother Zhai Jinsong sat in a car, Zhai Jinsong was a student of the teacher, and Qin Xiaotian asked Zhai Jinsong a few more irrelevant questions in the car.

On weekends, the entertainment district in the city centre is bustling with young people coming to have fun and cars of all kinds waiting in long lines to move forward. Qin Xiaotian saw that there were so many people and cars, and it was faster to get out of the car and walk to the cash cabinet, so he proposed to get out of the car, and the two men naturally had no opinion.

After getting out of the car, the three of them walked towards the entertainment center. At a small intersection, Qin Xiaotian was stunned, her feet couldn't move, and she didn't even react when Na Chunming called her a few times. She saw Xia Linhan's car, but somehow, for more than a year, she was still familiar with Xia Linhan's phone number and license plate number. And tonight, she actually saw the familiar license plate number at a glance at this intersection, and when she looked at it, she saw Xia Linhan sitting alone in the cab. Almost, almost she called out his name. Why is it that after more than a year, Qin Xiaotian's heart is still so stinging the moment she sees Xia Linhan, not only pain, but also her heart beats faster, she is nervous, she is afraid that Xia Linhan will see her and want him to see her. I haven't seen him for more than a year, is he okay? Qin Xiaotian lost her ability to think, she didn't hear Na Chunming calling her at all, and she didn't know that Na Chunming told Senior Brother Zhai to let Senior Brother Zhai go to the cash cabinet first, and he waited for Qin Xiaotian. Qin Xiaotian just stared at Xia Linhan's car in a daze, his eyes seemed to be sloppy but he seemed to be looking in one direction all the time, just because of the traffic jam, Xia Linhan's car had been parked there and couldn't move.

Perhaps feeling that there was a look staring at him all the time, Xia Linhan subconsciously looked left and right, and when he saw the left, he suddenly saw a familiar face. This face is still childish and familiar, but it is out of reach, he saw that Qin Xiaotian seemed to be dressed up deliberately today, and at the same time, he also saw the Chunming behind Qin Xiaotian, who was looking at Qin Xiaotian anxiously.

The four eyes looked at each other, separated by a distance of more than ten meters, but it was as if there was a huge magnet between the two, and both pairs of eyes were unwilling to take their eyes off each other's faces. If it weren't for the fact that there were two cars in between, Qin Xiaotian might have run over to greet Xia Linhan. If it weren't for the fear of causing more traffic congestion by sitting in the car, Xia Linhan would definitely open the car door and run towards Qin Xiaotian. However, everything is only if, if they run to each other maybe all the endings will be different, but time cannot be turned back, and there are not so many ifs in the world, if only exist in the imagination.

Qin Xiaotian knew that Xia Linhan was looking at him, his heartbeat stopped beating, and when he saw Xia Linhan for the first time, Qin Xiaotian lost consciousness with a "boom" in his head, and would only look at the people in the car blankly, and when Xia Linhan saw her, the old wound was torn again, blood gushed out, and the pain was unbearable. Is it really hard to forget? If I forget, why does it hurt when I see it? Qin Xiaotian was puzzled.

Xia Lin Handuo wanted to see Qin Xiaotian again, it was not that he didn't want to go over to find her, but he never mustered up the courage, and Qin Xiaotian finally said not to look for her again, he really couldn't think of a good reason to see Qin Xiaotian. Perhaps, it is your own heart that is escaping, if you want to see it, there is always a reason and a way to see it.

"Dididi...... The car behind Xia Linhan honked the horn, and the owner stretched out his head and scolded: "Hey-the car in front, you are sick, can you go?" If you don't go, we'll go! ”

This roar woke up the two people who were immersed in their own world, Xia Linhan hurriedly let go of the handbrake and clutch and moved the car forward, and his eyes faded out of Qin Xiaotian's eyes. Only then did Qin Xiaotian hear that Chunming's voice.

"Xiaotian, Xiaotian, what's wrong with you?" Na Chunming shouted vigorously behind her, and almost went up to shake her shoulder.

In just one or two minutes, Qin Xiaotian felt like a long time had passed.

"It's nothing, it seems to see an old friend, I'm not sure so I looked at it more." Qin Xiaotian's gaze followed Xia Linhan's car.

"Really? So why don't you go over and say hello? That Chunming was puzzled.

"It's too far away, several cars apart!" Qin Xiaotian's answer made Na Chunming even more puzzled.

When the two arrived at the private room, they found that the others were already singing and singing, and two dozen beers were on the table. As soon as Qin Xiaotian sat down, he took a drink, the reason was that he was late at the latest, and Chunming felt that she was inexplicable, didn't Qin Xiaotian know how to drink?

In fact, it's not that Qin Xiaotian doesn't know how to drink, he doesn't want to drink, and he can drink a lot when he wants to, such as tonight.

One night, Qin Xiaotian sang and danced, drank and laughed, the whole atmosphere of the private room was very active, Na Chunming wanted to block the wine for Qin Xiaotian or help her drink several times, but Qin Xiaotian grabbed the cup and dried it up, and several senior brothers praised: "I can't see that the little junior sister can drink very well!" Qin Xiaotian waved his hand and said, "With the senior brothers and sisters here today, it's rare to be happy, I didn't know how to drink anymore, but I also became good at drinking." "It made a few senior brothers happy to death.

That Chunming is not happy, where is this Qin Xiaotian happy, it is obvious that he has something on his mind. watched her sing some parting songs, and occasionally sang a fast song and deliberately roared so that she could vent her emotions.

"Xiaotian!" That Chunming snatched Qin Xiaotian's wine glass and didn't let her continue to drink.

Qin Xiaotian reached for the glass, and Chunming raised the wine glass high and asked her viciously, "What's wrong with you?" If you're a friend, just tell me! ”

The first time Qin Xiaotian heard Na Chunming talking to her so fiercely, she chuckled in her heart, and then she felt like crying, why didn't she want to vomit quickly, Qin Xiaotian held back the tears that were about to fall, and said with red eyes: "Guess who I just saw?" ”

"Who?" Na Chunming's tone was still serious.

"My ex-boyfriend." Qin Xiaotian said faintly.

Now it's Chunming's turn to be dumbfounded, it turns out that it was her ex-boyfriend who made Qin Xiaotian have so many adverse reactions, it seems that he Chunming is nothing!

Na Chunming adjusted his tone and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Qin Xiaotian didn't care about it, and took advantage of the strength of the wine to tell Na Chunming about her and Xia Linhan, and after speaking, he snatched the wine glass in Na Chunming's hand and drank a glass of wine.

Na Chunming listened to Qin Xiaotian's story, and was happy and worried in his heart, happy that Qin Xiaotian was finally alone now, he could love her well, and the worry was that Xia Linhan brought Qin Xiaotian so much harm but still made Qin Xiaotian so worried, even seeing him from a distance had such a strong reaction, if he really met and spoke, I don't know what the scene was. Thinking that Qin Xiaotian didn't have himself at all in his heart, maybe he was still thinking about Xia Linhan, Chunming's heart was torn and hurt. That Chunming laughed at himself, maybe Qin Xiaotian would never know his intentions, but he was willing to be Qin Xiaotian's microphone, trash can, and punching bag, he wanted to see Qin Xiaotian laugh, and he didn't know when he started to like Qin Xiaotian. This is not the first time he likes girls, but this time he is more serious than ever, it turns out that he just likes and has a crush on someone, this time, he wanted to confess to Qin Xiaotian several times, but he couldn't help it. Now, is he going to endure it? Na Chunming closed his eyes, and there was no answer in his heart.

After singing until 11 o'clock, everyone felt that it was almost time to withdraw, so they dispersed in a hurry. Chen Shaoyu and Na Chunming sent the three girls downstairs to the dormitory, and also hurried back to the men's dormitory.

Qin Xiaotian didn't tell Hu Xiaojuan and Tian Li about meeting Xia Linhan, and after washing up silently, he said that his head was too dizzy to lie down, but his brain was so clear that he couldn't sleep. And Xia Linhan's bits and pieces appeared in her mind again, she hadn't thought about this person for a year, she thought that the old wound that was unknown and buried deep in her heart had healed, but all the disguises were ruthlessly ripped off tonight. Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes and entered her hair along the roots of her ears, Qin Xiaotian was too lazy to wipe them, and thought fiercely in her heart: Just let the tears flow, from now on completely forget about this person, she needs someone to slowly re-stitch the old wounds.
