Cao Aiqing is a good child who studies hard and maintains self-discipline.

Every morning at six o'clock, under the vague consciousness of her roommate, she will hear her getting out of bed on time, but fortunately, the long-term habit of work and rest has avoided the sound of the alarm clock to break the tranquility of the morning.

The girl will spend about half an hour washing, and then spend half an hour reading some Chinese and foreign architectural documents, and so on until seven o'clock, everyone in the dormitory will get up one after another, and several girls will go to the nearby cafeteria to have breakfast together, if there is a class, everyone will go to class together, if there is no class, Cao Aiqing likes to go to the library or study room to read.

If in the first two years, she would occasionally go to the radio station for a fifteen-minute morning broadcast, but now that she is a senior, she can still find time to broadcast at the radio station once a week, which can be regarded as a kind help, so naturally she will not arrange this kind of class.

"This year's spring recruitment will end next Thursday, so if you are still interested, please hurry up and go to the second gymnasium of the school as soon as possible......

An unfamiliar announcer's voice came from the broadcast in the cafeteria, and the cafeteria aunt on the side handed over a packet of freshly cut sugar, and her casual and cordial question interrupted Cao Aiqing's thoughts as she listened to the broadcast.

"Xiao Aiqing, I haven't seen you broadcast for a long time, don't you have to study in the Department of Architecture for another year, why don't you broadcast it?"

The girl took the sugar, poured some into her rice porridge, and smiled embarrassedly:

"Because Aunt Ma has to change every year, I don't know a lot of my classmates at the radio station now, and almost all of them have retired at the same time as me, so every time I go, they call me seniors, I feel like I'm an old man, I'm embarrassed."

The cafeteria aunt deliberately straightened her face and said, "Oh, what did you say this kid, if you were an old man, your aunt and I wouldn't be an old monster?" A young girl can't say such a thing! ”

Cao Aiqing put the sugar at the pick-up port, so that the classmates after her could pick it up, she nodded, and then said obediently:

"Hehe, I know~!"

The cafeteria aunt seemed to want to say something, but Cao Aiqing had already taken precautions, took her own plate and fled.

Looking at the girl's back, the cafeteria aunt shook her head and smiled.

Coming to the seat occupied by the roommates, Cao Aiqing put down the plate, and as soon as he sat down, he was teased by a roommate.

"Why Ai Qing, that aunt introduced your son to you just now?"

Several little girls giggled when they heard this, Cao Aiqing glanced at them angrily, and then smiled:

"Oh, no, let's eat."

One of the girls proposed, "Otherwise, you can see his son and help others break their thoughts." ”

Cao Aiqing picked up a small steamed bun with chopsticks and stuffed it into the girl's mouth.

"See, you gloating people have enough!"

A group of girls were making trouble, and the topic was up, so naturally it was not so easy to stop, and another girl gossiped sideways:

"By the way, Ai Qing, why haven't you seen Senior Shen recently?"

"He, maybe he's been preparing for a test recently, after all, the exam will start in May, and there is not much time left."

Cao Aiqing thought about it, took a sip of sweet porridge, and replied.

A note is the abbreviation of a registered architect, but also a sign of every young person who studies architecture finally goes ashore, plus a total of nine subjects of drawing, the exam alone has to be tested for four days, which is no less difficult than a famous school entrance examination, and there are hard requirements for working years, like Cao Aiqing, who are still undergraduate architecture students, are not qualified to take this kind of exam, but as long as they want to go long on the road of architecture, they will definitely suffer from this disaster.

"Yo, I know so well."

"No, he told me the last time we went to the construction site together."

"Hahaha, no need to explain, we all understand, hehe~"

The amusement of her friends gave her a little headache, and seeing that she was silent, several people began to talk about other topics.

It's just that Cao Aiqing listened and slowly realized that something seemed wrong......

Ordinary friends make fun of themselves with this kind of thing, and she can't get around the matter with He Tianran, but now, hearing them suddenly ask about Shen Qiuxu, Cao Aiqing was a little uncomfortable for a while.

This is...... Is it because He Tianran has left this world?

The friends around you will slowly forget about this person......

This thought flashed through his mind, and Cao Aiqing was stunned.

……

……

"Senior sister, some of the ancient thesis materials in the reference room this year have been numbered and recorded into the computer, so this kind of library card is no longer needed."

Behind the service desk, Yu Hui took the file bag and also took the library card handed by the other party, and the juanxiu handwriting on it and an inexplicable year made him smile.

Putting away the information casually, he found that the famous goddess of architecture in front of him was a little distracted, staring at the old card in his hand, and he called tentatively:

"Senior Sister Cao?"

Cao Aiqing suddenly came back to his senses.

"That...... Can you give me that card? Only...... When it is a commemoration. ”

"You can pour it."

Afterglow scratched her head and handed back her useless library card.

Cao Aiqing lowered her head and looked carefully, her fingertips slowly rubbing the rough surface of the card, and her beautiful face revealed a quiet and contemplative beauty.

"You know...... What year is today? ”

Hanging her head, she suddenly asked softly for no reason.

"Huh?"

Yu Hui paused, he wasn't quite sure if the other party was asking himself this sentence, he tried to answer:

"Yes...... Two years of innocence? ”

Cao Aiqing suddenly looked up at him, and Yu Hui smiled:

"Senior sister, every time you come to the library to borrow this kind of specific material, you will always write it on the library card, in fact, I'm quite troubled, because we will write what the Year of the Snake, the Year of the Dragon, etc., what should be this year, isn't this common sense......

Seeing that the other party had been silent and ignored him, Yu Hui thought that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately changed his words:

"But it's nothing...... Just tell us about returning the book, it's not a big deal, ahaha......"

Cao Aiqing sighed silently in her heart.

Maybe after that person leaves, in this world, there will never be a third person who knows the meaning of the word "innocent" to himself.

"Xiaoyu, you...... Do you remember the person in your library? ”

After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but ask.

Under the girl's gaze, Afterglow's expression was first dazed, then lost in memory.

And in this waiting process, Afterglow's expression is like an old computer extracting a complex piece of information from the redundant data, which is indescribably weird......

It wasn't until he waited half a minute that Afterglow withdrew from this strange state, and he seemed to ignore the time he had just recalled, and smiled as a matter of course:

"Of course I remember, Senior Sister Cao, what you asked, how could I not remember Brother Nature, he only retired from the library yesterday, don't you know?"

The other party's reaction was exactly the same as Cao Aiqing's previous state when he mentioned the name "He Tianran" with several roommates.

It stands to reason that Yu Hui is He Tianran's junior in the library, and he usually takes care of him, and He Tianran only retired from his position in the library yesterday, so he definitely doesn't need so much time to remember this person......

If you ask them again after a while, will it take longer and longer to get an answer until they forget the person completely?

Memory, the root of all good and sorrow......

I just don't know if I will forget that person one day......

Cao Aiqing imagined this, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said:

"I know, I just want to confirm it, Xiaoyu, you continue to be busy."

"Okay."

Leaving the service desk, Cao Aiqing wanted to stay in the library and continue to read books for a while, she found a regular place to sit down, the sunlight shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the library, and a large area fell on the ground, on the table, and on the body of the reader.

The morning sun is not scorching, the sun is warm, Cao Aiqing read a book for a few minutes, and unconsciously lay on the table, her green hair naturally droops, showing a warm golden yellow under the illumination of the light.

The girl's eyes passed through the window, looking at the street outside the library, the spring road was lined with lush grass, trees spit new shoots, and students came and went one after another.

"Girl, you are too beautiful to be alone, I want to turn into fireworks, while you walk at night

Boom ~ bang!

All of a sudden, it explodes above your head!"

Looking at this scene, feeling the temperature of the sun, and recalling some memory pictures that others don't know, Cao Aiqing's eyes gradually became blurred, and her eyelids became more and more heavy.

"There are memories that are only for me...... That's a good thing......"

The girl at the desk murmured softly, and slowly closed her eyes, a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth before she fell asleep.

……

……

This sleep, unconsciously, slept until noon, and gradually woke up from the haze, the girl's body moved, and in a trance heard a familiar male voice.

"Ai Qing, are you awake?"

Cao Aiqing's body stiffened suddenly, and then she quickly raised her head, and her consciousness was still in a trance, and this consciousness was even a little blurred before her, and through her heart, she wanted to blurt out a name:

"Congratulations ......"

It's just that as her eyes gradually cleared, she saw clearly the man sitting opposite her at some point, and the name she wanted to say was also changed in time......

"Brother Autumn Order......

Shen Qiuxu looked at the girl's rare startled appearance, smiled and pointed to his right cheek with his finger.

Cao Aiqing came back to her senses at this time, and covered half of her cheek with one hand, where an obvious book mark had been left because of a few hours of sleep, and a few strands of hair were also pasted on her cheeks, so the image of the girl at this moment was still a little messy.

She turned around and straightened her cheeks and hair with her hands, and by the time she was back to normal, she asked:

"Brother Qiuxu, how long have you been here?"

Shen Qiuxu closed the book and looked at the watch on his wrist, "It's probably more than three hours, and it's almost a little bit now." ”

"I've slept for so long?"

Cao Aiqing's expression was a little incredible, she thought that she would only take a nap for about half an hour at most.

"That's right, seeing that you sleep so soundly, I didn't dare to disturb your rest, it's quite rare to think about it, it's rare to see classmate Cao who is so strict with himself when he relaxes, is there something good going on? Look at you still smiling when you sleep. ”

Shen Qiuxu asked.

"Actually...... Not a good thing...... By the way, Brother Qiu Xu, how are you reviewing? ”

Cao Aiqing paused slightly, diverted the topic and asked rhetorically.

Shen Qiuxu suddenly felt a little big, he rubbed the root of his nose, and like every person who is anxious before the exam, he said two words concisely:

"It's hard."

The girl smiled, "I'm sure you can." ”

Shen Qiuxu probably didn't really want to mention this stubble, and after getting the other party's encouragement, he took the opportunity to say:

"Ai Qing, I'm embarrassed to say it, the teacher originally arranged for me to lead the project in the church, but now you are the most responsible one, we seniors are really embarrassed to see it."

Cao Aiqing shook his head:

"Where is this, Brother Qiu Xu, you have to take a note this year, which is a major event related to your career prospects, and going to the construction site is not a job within the designer's office, I just lack field experience in this area and the teacher's arrangement to run over there."

Seniors either have more work experience than me, or have more solid professional theories than me, and what I'm experiencing now is nothing more than what you all experienced at the beginning, so you don't have to take this to heart. ”

Shen Qiuxu said with emotion:

"You are too modest Ai Qing, I didn't work as hard as you when I was an undergraduate, and your professional ability is really not worse than those of us who are studying for master's degrees, to put it mildly, it is even a lot better, I won't tell you, the teacher privately showed me the portfolio you used to apply for UCL, although I was a little unwilling, but I still have to admit it...... I'm really willing to give in. ”

The other party's words made Cao Aiqing think carefully, and in order not to hit the other party's confidence before the exam, she said:

"Brother Qiu Xu, I started preparing the portfolio that I needed to use when I studied abroad, so naturally I spent a lot of thought in it, and you don't have to look at me so highly, because you and I both know that this kind of thing largely excludes some objective factors in reality, and the architectural scheme on paper has reached the landing stage, which is destined to require a process of continuous compromise and optimization. Lou Ge', so when it comes to the latter, I still need to learn more from you teachers and seniors, you must not be presumptuous. ”

Listening to the girl's comforting words, Shen Qiuxu smiled helplessly:

"Ai Qing, you are really comforting."

"Why, tell me the truth."

Seeing Cao Aiqing's calm and friendly appearance, Shen Qiuxu hesitated for two seconds, and suddenly couldn't help but say:

"Ai Qing, has anyone told you that you have a ...... Kind and excellent ...... Distance? ”

"What?" Cao Aiqing was stunned.

"It's ......"

Shen Qiuxu thought about it and described:

"That's it...... I know that you are a very good person, very kind, very kind, know how to think about others, and make people want to be close, but most of the time, we can only watch you slowly walk away, which comes from your own excellence and the pursuit of things, but for people like us, it is a little ...... Cruel.

Maybe I'm lucky enough to meet a good girl like you, the more we get along, even if it's just a period of time together, the more ashamed I feel......"

Cao Aiqing just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Qiuxu:

"You don't have to say anything Ai Qing, really, sometimes the more comforted you are, the more my emotions can't come out, maybe it's because of my self-esteem as a man? Oh, no matter what, admitting that you are good is sometimes a kind to others. ”

Cao Aiqing was silent for a moment, and finally nodded:

"Okay, I got it, Brother Qiuxu."

Shen Qiuxu seemed to be completely relaxed, and he smiled:

"Do you want to go to the construction site this afternoon? I'm going back to town, just in time to drive with you to the construction site. ”

Cao Aiqing was about to answer, when suddenly the mobile phone on the desktop vibrate, she picked it up and saw that it was her best friend who she hadn't contacted for a while, Bai Tingting sent it.

There have been many WeChat messages from Bai Tingting, and there are still a few missed calls, Cao Aiqing glanced at it hurriedly, and the general content of the message was that the weather was very good today, do you want to go out together.

"When you were sleeping just now, your phone had vibrated many times, maybe it was something urgent, do you want to call back or something?"

Shen Qiuxu added.

Cao Aiqing also felt a little strange, if she just made an appointment to go out to play, with Bai Tingting's temperament, she shouldn't be so eager.

"Well, Brother Qiu Xu, wait a while, I'll go back."

The girl stood up, found a good corner of the library for phone calls, and dialed her best friend's number.

As soon as the phone was connected, he was still worried about the other party, thinking that something had happened to Cao Aiqing, who heard his best friend's joyful voice:

"Ai Qing, Ai Qing, you finally answered the phone!"

"Tingting, you slow down, what's wrong with you?"

The other party suddenly became a little embarrassed, and a question came from the earpiece:

"You...... Remember Xue Yong, right? ”

Xue Yong?

Cao Aiqing felt inexplicable, her impression of Xue Yong had not been updated for a long time.

"He, remember, what's wrong?"

He ...... Ask me out today! ”

Bai Tingting's tone was filled with an excitement that couldn't be hidden.

Originally, I wanted this chapter to be called "Free Loop", but when I was writing, I heard the song "golden hour" and thought it was so brilliant that it felt more suitable for the next plot.
