Spring in the city always comes in a hurry, as if it were an overnight event. After a spring rain, young grass sprouts grew in the stone crevices on the side of the campus road. February orchids bloom in every corner, dyeing the entire campus lilac along with sycamore flowers and wisteria. Ginkgo biloba sprouts green, fan-shaped new leaves that quickly turn into large, ripe leaves. Caterpillar-like poplar flowers and willow trees produce clumps of white flocculents, which flutter like snow in the wind. The magnolia tree produces white flowers, and the refreshing aroma can be smelled far away. Forsythia, late cherry blossoms, and lilacs bloom one after another, as if they are in a relay race to the world of flowers. The creeper's gray branches spit out many green leaves, and within two weeks they had once again obscured the appearance of the school building. The slump left by last year's winter snow has been completely replaced by a spring spirit, and the students who left the school have returned, and the whole campus is full of life.

"The weather is so good, I really want to go out." Qin Hong said with regret. He and Chen Yinggang came out of the north gate of the library and walked towards the cafeteria together. On the north side of the library, adjacent to the campus lake, a thick willow tree on the side of the road sprouts, and the soft willow branches sway softly in the wind like long hair. A three-story locust tree is in full bloom, its rich fragrance spreading, and a layer of snow-white petals is scattered on the grass at its feet. The sun came out on this day, and the sky was blue, with the occasional few thin clouds drifting by.

"No way, there's still a lot to do." Chen Ying said helplessly, "American exchange students are coming next week, and we have to prepare in advance this weekend." ”

"You're just putting your life too full." Qin Hong blamed her, "Originally, it was hard enough to be a tutor and teaching assistant, and I took this errand." ”

"I just wanted to broaden my horizons. In addition, when the class starts here, Martin is going to take a crash class for the high school entrance examination, so I can free up my energy to concentrate on the class. Chen Ying said.

"I think you're living too hard. Wouldn't you be able to do what you want to do at school? ”

"There are too many dreams in my head, and I can only work overtime to realize them one by one." She replied with a smile. Holding hands, they walked into the cafeteria hall, where, as usual, every window was crowded with students.

"How's it going?" Waiting for Qin Hong to sit down with a bowl of tomatoes and lo mein, Chen Ying asked casually.

"Not bad. One interview in the afternoon, and three more next week - I mainly ran around during this time, and the bus card was filled with a hundred yuan, and it was used up in less than half a month. Soon there will be no money to eat. He said self-deprecatingly, stirring the noodles with chopsticks so that each one was stained with marinade.

"You can't save on eating." She said. The voice was so small that only she could hear it.

"I also have to sign up for a bar exam course. If you can't get a certificate, even if you enter a law firm, you can only do chores such as secretarial or back-office, and you can't become a practicing lawyer. As he ate, he said, "There's one right in front of the school." I inquired, and the price is acceptable, but the number of applicants is relatively large and the number of places is limited. I'm going to sign up in the next two days. ”

"Swipe my card to sign up first." Chen Ying said without thinking.

"How's that going to work? I can't spend your hard-earned money. Qin Hong excused himself.

"Credit card, overdraft first, and it's not too late to pay me back when you have money." She looked at his bright eyes, "A few days ago, Sun Wei returned to school and mentioned this training class to me. Wu Yun also came back yesterday, and the two of them will probably report together. You know, a lot of economics students take a variety of certificates across disciplines – to broaden their future employability. If you don't pay attention, maybe the juniors and sisters will already occupy the position. ”

He looked hesitantly at the credit card with her name on it on the table.

"Nope." He shook his head and returned the credit card to her, "I don't want to use your money. ”

"In this case, you go to the interview first in the afternoon. I'll go there with Sun Wei to sign you up, and get down to business first. Make a note of the money and return it to me when you have enough money. Chen Ying said generously.

"No......" he hesitated.

"It's nothing, and it's not that you don't have to pay it back. After eating, go back and take a rest, and have a good spirit for the interview in the afternoon. She said as she gulped down the potatoes in the bowl.

"Okay. Be careful on the road. He told her to give her his ID.

After lunch, Chen Ying returned to the dormitory and cleaned up briefly. She also checked the address and phone number of the training course on the Internet and wrote it down on her mobile phone. Qin Hong is right, the location of the training class is very close to the school. When Sun Wei came back with the money, the two of them walked together towards the south gate of the school.

"I can't believe you actually came to sign up for Qin Hong." Sun Wei said. Just after one o'clock, the teacher who signed up for the training class in the afternoon had just come to work, and there were already five or six people sitting on the benches at the door and lining up. The two of them had to sit closer to the door.

"He has no relatives in this city, and it would be pitiful if I didn't care about him." Chen Ying said knowingly.

"Then you can't afford to advance money for him, it's his own business - even if you run errands for him, the money will always have to be paid by him." Sun Wei said dissatisfied.

"He's looking for work everywhere now, and he's spending a lot of money. I'm not in a hurry to use the money, and I'll pay it back when it's convenient for him. Chen Ying continued to explain, "Besides, he didn't plan to take advantage of me. I mentioned it at noon, and he kept shirking it. ”

"But the truth isn't that you spend money." Sun Wei said.

"It's okay, don't worry too much about your boyfriend." Chen Ying smiled slightly.

"Silly girl, I'm afraid you'll be deceived!" Sun Wei said and took the registration form and began to register the information.

After returning from the registration office of the training course, Chen Ying read books and wrote papers in the library alone, and it was not until dinner time that she was done. She looked through her phone and didn't see Qin Hong's message. So she went to the bathroom, broke her neck in the mirror, and pinned the hair that was hanging down behind her ears. She adjusted and washed her hands before heading out to the water room.

"Chen Ying?" Someone behind her called her.

She turned around and saw Wang Yi standing in front of her.

"Come to the library to change your homework?" Wang Yi asked. He was carrying a large travel bag with four corners on wheels, which was full of homework books.

"No, write a professional class paper. Haven't changed your share yet? Chen Ying craned her neck and glanced at the bag behind him and said.

"Who would have thought there were so many? I had planned to finish all of them in one afternoon, but I didn't keep up with the progress at all, and only changed two-thirds of the way - some students wrote too messily to see that it was a matrix, and I was dizzy in the end. He put his backpack on the ground, "The rest can only be done tonight, it looks like there is no way to play the game." ”

"There are still two days to go, so there's no need to rush so much." Chen Ying said.

"There may be a lot of experiments to be done in the future, so I want to be a little ahead of the schedule. How's your approval? Wang Yi asked.

"I stayed up late last night and approved it all." She said a little smugly.

"That's amazing. But don't always stay up late, it's very damaging to your health. ”

"Okay."

"There's an award you didn't seem to receive." He said thoughtfully, "Have you ever signed up for an English training course abroad, the one outside the east gate of the school?" They seem to have held an essay contest and recently announced the winners. I saw your name when I went to class, but I wasn't sure. I would like to ask if you have participated in this event. ”

Chen Ying nodded and told Wang Yi that she had submitted a manuscript before the Spring Festival.

"Go back and check your mailbox to see if you have received the award notice." Wang Yi told her.

She snorted, sort of an answer.
