Imperial capital, a chain café.

Yan Ci tasted the aftertaste of the coffee beans and pondered how to explain to Zhong Pei for a while.

It's also strange to say, according to Zhong Pei's habits, Yan Ci has been rotten for so long, she should have chased after her and urged her to work on the spot.

But this time, not only did she not want to make progress, but she was also ridiculously quiet.

Zhong Pei arrived ten minutes later than the agreed time.

"What to drink?"

"Ice American."

Yan Ci was stunned, "Don't you like to drink bitter coffee?" ”

Zhong Pei's expression was sad.

"As long as life is bitter enough, American style can be sweet."

She seemed to have been drained, her face was haggard and listless, and she felt like chewing wax when she drank coffee with what little enthusiasm she had, and it was hard to swallow.

Yan Ci asserted.

"You're in trouble."

Zhong Pei shook the cup and said flatly.

"Yuan Jun and I broke up."

"You've been talking for a long time, who mentioned it?"

"I dumped him."

Although Zhong Pei proposed to break up, she couldn't laugh at all.

"Don't like it?"

Zhong Pei stirred casually, "It's not, I just think I'm like this every day, or alone, I can't find a reason to persevere." ”

Yan Ci knew that she and Shen Pingxiao had overcome the problems of frequent remote places, but Zhong Pei and Yuan Jun couldn't survive it.

"Maybe you can try to find a balance."

Zhong Pei said pessimistically.

"What are you looking for, I can't give up my job, he can't give up his, we can only rely on the Internet, rely on electronic devices every day, to lyrical on a floor plan, do you think this is like words?"

"But now that you've given up, it's not much better."

Yan Ci was telling the truth, her face was so haggard that her makeup couldn't cover it.

Zhong Pei didn't want to talk about this anymore, and drank a large cup of coffee in one gulp, grinning bitterly.

"Say, the Flying Emperor came to me for no reason, what are you doing."

She had just fallen out of love, and Yan Ci had to tell Zhong Pei at this time that her decision to lighten this part of Shang Zhi was undoubtedly worse.

"It's not a pleasure to find you."

"I knew there was nothing good, we all came together, I could bear it."

Yan Ci handed her the information on the student status that had been completed.

"Zhong Pei, I'm sorry, I'm here this time to approve the application for production reduction, and I may be able to do such a heavy task in the future."

She held the school registration information and looked at it carefully, and it was indeed unexpected.

"You're going back to your studies?"

"I have also thought about this decision for a long time, the world is not small, it is not big, maybe I can broaden my horizons to harvest a better picture."

Zhong Pei stared at this student information and was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled.

"You're right, being complacent will only trap yourself, and anyone who likes and yearns for should let go and fight." "Yan Ci, I wish you a bright future, and I will still be here when I return from school, so that I can still add two more strokes to your name."

With Professor Sun's approval, Yan Ci soon returned to school as a graduate student.

Different from the conventional path of going all the way to school, coming back to study after wandering outside has a sense of returning to the basics, and the heart is more down-to-earth, and the learning is more hard.

The sudden change in life has not changed Yan Ci's character, and she is still a loner, because of the scarcity of majors, she has not made many friends in school, and the only person who can be called by name is Professor Sun, who is the aunt who eats in the cafeteria.

I mixed a familiar face, and I gave a few more pieces of meat each time.

Yan Ci picked a vacant seat with the food, took out her mobile phone and flipped to the chat interface with Shen Pingxiao, and found that the message she sent at nine o'clock in the morning was still alone.

Shen Pingxiao didn't reply, which means that it is inconvenient for him to answer the phone or video now.

He had said hello to Yan Ci in advance, and recently Menghai has been strengthening the inspection of various bayonets, and there is a shortage of manpower, he has to take shifts, and he is on duty if he does not reply to the message in time.

Yan Ci exited the chat interface and glanced at the current time, 11:50 p.m.

"No matter how busy you are, you have to eat well......"

She muttered to herself, but she could only speak to the empty person here, alone.

A figure floated from behind.

"Hello, is there anyone here?"

Yan Ci lifted his eyelids, he was a handsome boy with a young temperament.

Although he didn't understand why he chose this place because there were so many vacant seats in the cafeteria, out of politeness, he shook his head at him and answered his question.

The boy didn't rush in either, keeping his distance, sitting diagonally across from her.

"Have you always been alone?"

Yan Ci knew that it was not that simple, it was not an accident at all, this boy must have observed her for a while.

She didn't answer, but the boy took this reaction as a tacit acquiescence.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Shi Guangyan, a senior majoring in geological exploration engineering, and Professor Sun is also my teacher."

Oh, even she is a student under Professor Sun has figured it out.

Yan Ci is not a little girl in school who blushes when she is teased, she can't eat a meal, so she simply puts down her chopsticks and confronts her face to face.

"What do you want to do?"

Shi Guangyan is indeed relaxed.

"It's nothing, make a friend, we are both students of Professor Sun, and we will always have the opportunity to communicate with each other in the future."

I couldn't find fault with what he said, and Yan Ci couldn't find fault with it, so I simply changed the table and ate with peace of mind.

Shi Guangyan didn't follow up again, and they each buried themselves in cooking.

After a while, Shen Pingxiao called, she was too busy to connect, and at a glance, the little boy had already left.

"Why are you busy until now?"

"I don't know why today, there are a lot of cars passing through the truck, so I was delayed for a while. How are you, are you still used to it at school? ”

Yan Ci instantly felt strange, she was an old man who traveled south and north, and she was a female chivalrous guest in ancient times.

But I felt that Shen Pingxiao was worried about whether he could adapt to the boring study life.

"Fortunately, it's not just learning from textbooks, it's also about rolling up your sleeves and going to the ground, it's not that boring."

"I just miss you a little."

She divided a heart into two parts, half for herself and half for Shen Pingxiao.

Shen Pingxiao on the other end of the phone heard her talk, turned his head and pursed his lips to look at the sky, using a restrained smile to hide the happiness overflowing from the corners of his mouth.

Yan Ci was dissatisfied that he never used words to express these joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and was half amused and half forced to provoke.

"Shen Pingxiao, don't patronize the fun, do you miss me?"

He was sullen back.

"Hmm."

"What do you mean, want to or don't want to?"

He crossed his waist with one hand, bowed his head for a while, raised his head for a while, the corners of his mouth were flying, and he never fell off, he was anxious by Yan Ci, and he was embarrassed to touch the bridge of his nose and spin in place.

"Yes."

Yan Ci secretly rolled his eyes, and it was hard to force him to say "I want to", so that he could say that he liked it.

"Stuffy Gourd ......"

Both sides were quiet, and at this time, Yan Ci heard the faint sound of the ambulance's whistle from his side, and his heart instantly hung up.

"How do I hear an ambulance?"

Shen Pingxiao swallowed a mouthful of water.

"The ears are really sharp, I can't hide anything from you, it's not a big deal, there was a small car accident, and the little two-wheeler grabbed the road and was pressed to pull the injured person."

Yan Ci was skeptical.

"Really?"

"I don't believe it yet, wait."

The phone rang empty for a while, and the message from Shen Pingxiao popped up in the chat box to remind him, and then turned it on, it was the scene of the car accident that he took temporarily, and there was indeed an ordinary person lying on the stretcher, but because the distance was too far, he couldn't see where the injury was.

"See, the evidence is conclusive, don't wronged me again."

"I wronged you? I can't be cured of this suspicion, and you have an unshirkable responsibility. ”

Shen Pingxiao doted.

"Okay, good, my pot, my fault, I'm solely responsible."

Yan Ci poked the rice into a honeycomb and muttered quietly.

"You're in charge, don't I take the ......"

He sighed softly over there, and his words changed sharply.

"Okay, let's go eat, you don't have much time to rest, and we'll talk in the evening."

Shen Pingxiao stumbled, "Yan Ci." ”

She had now figured out what kind of temperament this guy was, and as long as he called her name in such a debt-indebted tone, it would definitely be nothing good.

A long series of silences followed, and there must have been something to grieve her.

She could guess, "Why, you still have to be on duty at night?" How long have you been standing here without letting people rest? ”

Shen Pingxiao explained dryly.

"There are not enough people, and the wild bees have other things to do, so I have to keep watch here."

Yan Ci's interest immediately fell, trying not to let him hear it sullen.

"Then you should also pay attention to rest, I also read the weather forecast in Menghai, saying that it will rain tonight."

Since then, Yan Ci has developed the habit of looking at the weather forecast every day, and she doesn't know what the situation is on the side of Seoul, but how Menghai is always paying attention.

These small details that Shen Pingxiao didn't pay attention to herself, she has always taken to heart.

"Rest assured, my pain is much better now."

Yan Ci was angry and distressed.

"It's a lot better, that's not good."

"Forget it, I can't interfere with your affairs anyway, God wants it to rain, I can't stop it, except for some useless reminders, I can't help you."

Shen Pingxiao swore that he would be guaranteed.

"I must pay attention to the safety of my life and my health, more important than anything else."

He coaxed everyone as if he had taken an oath, and he held back a smile.

"Alright, let's go eat, even if it's a few more minutes of rest."

"Well, then I'm going to be busy, don't wait for me at night, eat by yourself and rest well."

ended this short and cherished call, and the smile on Yan Ci's face that unconsciously climbed up also faded, replaced with a face intertwined with helplessness and concern.

Falling in love with such a person, she not only slowly learned to be considerate and compromised, but also slowly learned how to persuade herself.

She took two bites of her already cold meal.

It's a pity to discard it.
