Back on campus, Chen Ying and Liang Jing went separately and went to the nearest canteen to buy dinner alone. There are very few students staying on campus, several cafeterias are closed, and several staff members who serve meals for teachers and students are sitting in one place chatting. They wore the same old overalls as usual, with white aprons and white hats buttoned up on their heads.

"What does my sister want?" A boy who was about the same height as Chen Ying saw her coming, picked up the long-handled iron spoon in his hand and asked.

"Scrambled eggs with tomatoes – you?" Chen Ying raised her head and was surprised to see Boss Guo's eldest son standing in front of her, "Didn't you go back for the New Year?" ”

"Well, there is something going on here in my hometown this year, and it is inconvenient to go back. My dad and my brother went back, and my mom and I stopped by in the cafeteria for two days. He skillfully served the vegetables, scooping up as many eggs as possible and putting them into the lunch box handed in by Chen Ying.

"What does the hostess do?"

"She helps wash the vegetables and collect the garbage in the back, and I'll collect the garbage in a while." He put the lunch box in front of her, put down the iron spoon and wiped it twice on the front of the apron.

"Help your mom and ask her a happy new year for me."

"Okay, thank you, sister."

Chen Ying walked back to the dormitory building with her lunch box. The corridor was deserted, many bedrooms were locked, there was no movement at all, and even the public trash cans placed in the corridor were empty. Chen Ying twisted open the bedroom door, turned on the light, sat in her seat and turned on the computer, waiting for the boot to start, she easily put the two or three books on the table back on the shelf. Then she connected to the gateway and searched for half of the movies she had seen in the previous two days while eating.

"What are you doing?" The screen of her mobile phone lit up, indicating that she had received a text message from Qin Hong.

"Eating." She replied casually.

"What did you eat?" Before she could put her phone down, he came back.

"Light meals in the cafeteria."

"Eat something nutritious, the body is important."

"Hmm."

"How's Model United Nations?"

"It's ok. Today is just an opening ceremony, and there is no substantive activity. How's that going on over there? ”

"Arrived safely. They were happy to see me go back, the whole family was busy and was preparing for my sister's wedding. ”

"It's good that the road goes well. After all, you haven't been back for a year, so this time I'll do more housework to help them. ”

"Good. You take care of yourself too. ”

"Don't worry."

She put down her phone and was about to eat. The white cat, which was already as long as a small arm, jumped on her lap and sniffed at her lunch box. Then it turned around and looked into her eyes and screamed loudly.

"Oh, I almost forgot about you." Chen Ying picked up the cat and put it on the cushion of the chair. She pulled out the food storage box from under the bed and pulled out a small bag of wet cat food. She took one out of the leftover paper tray for her birthday and put it on the floor, pouring all the cat food on the plate. She poured some warm water from the kettle into the empty box where the cat was drinking. Xiao Bai looked at her hand from beginning to end, and when she saw the prepared food and water, she immediately couldn't wait to jump off the chair, ran over and drank a few sips of water first, and then gulped down cat food. Chen Ying touched its head and walked back to its seat.

After eating and taking a shower, Chen Ying sat at her desk and studied the activity materials again. She looked online about the issues she represents, the Nordic countries she represents, the past and the bottlenecks she is currently facing. She studies the country's cultural traditions, their international positions and claims. Just as she was looking a little drowsy, the dormitory phone rang. She hurriedly picked up the earpiece.

"Hello?"

"Hey, is it Chen Ying?" An unfamiliar boy's voice came from there, which brought her to her senses.

"Hello, I'm the liaison for Model United Nations. One thing to tell you is that there is a special thing for the representatives of the EU member states, which is that before each round of negotiations and proposals, you have to elect the EU Presidency to speak as the representative of the EU. ”

"How will this rotating presidency be chosen?" Chen Ying asked seriously.

"It's still a lottery to decide, so it's fairer."

"Good. Nothing else? ”

"No, I don't. Excuse me, see you tomorrow at the event. ”

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

She put down the receiver and began to lament the complexity of the event. Xiaobai has eaten and drunk enough, and is stepping on a suitable pit for himself on Chen Ying's bed. It circled around the pit a few times, coiling its entire body in it, resting its head comfortably on Chen Ying's pillow, squinting at her.

Suzu –

The phone rang again. Chen Ying quickly picked it up, held the earpiece between her shoulders, and wrote down the notice she had just received in the calendar book.

"Chen Ying?" Qin Hong's voice came from the phone, which relaxed her tense nerves.

"It's me." She replied.

"Haven't slept so late?"

"Materials are still being prepared for tomorrow's event. You didn't sleep either? ”

"Can't sleep. Miss you. ”

"Rest early. It's hard to take the train for so long. Chen Ying felt her face start to heat up again.

"Look at the moon outside the window."

"It's the Spring Festival in a few days, how can it be ......" she walked to the window with the earpiece, lifted the corner of the curtain and looked into the air. In the cool navy blue sky, there was a very thin crescent moon, which was glowing with white light. The clusters of stars next to it were still shining, and unlike the summer night, the sky seemed extraordinarily high at this time.

"I guess you haven't slept, and I kind of want to sing to you." Qin Hong continued, "Do you remember that before I left, we went to KTV to sing together? ”

"Remember, it's basically you singing, and I'm the only one in the audience."

"Do you still remember which song I sang three times?"

"It's Qi Qin's song "About Winter"."

"My memory is so good." Qin Hong laughed on the other end of the phone, "I originally wanted to sing "The Moon Represents My Heart" to you today - it turned out to be ......"

"It's okay, you can wait for it to be round before singing."

"Before I met you, I took the car home every year, and my heart was full of excitement. Watch as the familiar scenery spreads out in front of you, stretches out, and finally arrives at the station. Then the whole family would come to the platform to pick me up, help me with my luggage, and find the car. By the time we got home, my mom had already prepared a table of my favorite meals. The whole family got together to eat and chat, and after the meal, my sister and I guessed boxing, and the one who lost went to wash the dishes. This year, however......" he choked.

"My sister will definitely come back to see you in the future."

"It's not just that." Qin Hong sighed, "It may also be that the Spring Festival is approaching and it is sad, I am not very happy at all on the way home this year, I just feel that every time the car goes forward, the farther away it is from you, I am more and more panicked, and I am more and more reluctant, I don't think I should leave you alone." ”

Chen Ying did not speak.
