In 2022, Valentine's Day.

Qu Junru should be invited by his master Hou Juyan to come to her house for a family banquet.

As expected, Li Hang, the deputy squad leader of the first squad of the Second Division of the Extraordinary Energy Bureau, was also there.

In the past six years, the two have worked together to solve many major cases that shocked people at home and abroad.

But at present, the two are pretending as if they haven't seen each other for six years.

The senior brothers and sisters have already discussed that they can't reveal their true identities if they are killed in front of their parents and elders.

Therefore, Qu Junru adjusted his state to the most depressed situation, and as soon as he entered the master's house, he was like a beggar arriving home, crying a handful of snot and tears.

"Master, I can see you, woo woo...... Let's ...... I haven't seen you in years, woo...... It's rare, Master, you are still worried about the apprentice, woo woo woo ......"

Teacher Hou saw Qu Junru acting with him, and he also cooperated with his performance: "Oh, good boy, don't cry, don't cry." When you arrive at Master's house, you will go to your own house, and if there is anything delicious and delicious, I will ask Hanghang to bring it to you. After eating, if you also like some kind of food from Master's house, I will ask Hanghang to pack some for you. ”

Qu Junru first agreed to the master, then looked at the senior father and Li Hang beside her, and opened her hands to hug the junior sister: "Hey, master! Father, then I'm not welcome. Oh, junior sister, I haven't seen you for many years, how are you getting more and more beautiful, come, let the senior brother hug! ”

Li Hang's previous words could still be heard clearly, and the latter sentence was almost squeezed out from between his teeth: "Senior brother, you have a little self-respect." Also, don't we see each other every day, you don't pretend to be pitiful in front of my parents, or I'll beat you to death tomorrow. ”

Qu Junru saw that his junior sister didn't let him hug him, so he didn't hug him: "Okay, junior sister, we haven't seen each other for many years, and you don't kiss your senior brother anymore." It's so sad to make my brother......"

Li Hang threatened him in a low voice: "Still pretending to be with me?" I'll kick you! ”

When Teacher Hou saw that his daughter was going to beat her apprentice, he hurriedly stopped her and welcomed Qu Junru into the house: "Hey, Hanghang, what are you doing?" Get on the side! Junru, come in quickly, you don't need to change your shoes, Master hasn't seen you for many years, you talk to Master and let your Master go to the kitchen to be busy. ”

Li Hang was pulled away by her mother, and Qu Junru was not injured, and then the master and apprentice went to sit on the sofa and chat or watch TV.

As for Li Hang's father, because he was originally a faculty member, he had no social attributes at all except teaching and educating people all his life. After Qu Junru entered the door, he didn't say anything except nodding to him. Even if he was arranged by his wife to cook in the kitchen, he immediately went to do it.

Qu Junru was chatting with his master on the sofa, Li Hang couldn't even insert half a sentence, either she was arranged by her mother to wash the fruit for Qu Junru alone, or she prepared all kinds of snacks in her house for Qu Junru, which was regarded as providing him with the best treatment as a guest.

Those guests who came to his house really didn't treat him so well, they were snacks and fruits, and they were even allowed to eat family banquets at home, and when he left, they could actually take food from his house. Qu Junru really felt the feeling of being treated as a guest at his master's house, which was why he apprenticed early and left Wenfeng at an outrageous time, and Teacher Hou always felt that the school had treated his beloved apprentice badly.

If it were someone else, Ms. Hou would never do this to a guest, and the reason is very simple, she has always adhered to a serious attitude towards learning, and students hardly like a teacher like her who teaches strictly.

In the subject of mathematics, Mr. Hou's effort on students is not something that ordinary teachers can insist on. After teaching for more than 20 years and working as a class teacher for more than 10 years, he has taught countless students who can go to Tsinghua University and Peking University, but they never bring gifts to visit them. However, although Qu Junru did not go to Tsinghua University and Peking University, he was the apprentice that Mr. Hou really accepted. Although Mr. Hou never bothered him when he was in college, only Li Hang, the daughter, knew that her mother was always concerned about whether her senior brother was doing well in Weifang, whether he ate well, drank well, and was fat or thin? During the New Year's holidays, I would also look at the fireworks outside the window, thinking about the four years when Qu Junru, a beloved apprentice, was a primary school student and a junior high school student, and was taught by himself at home.

Now, the daughter and the beloved disciple have grown up and are of marriageable age.

Therefore, Mr. Hou wanted to take advantage of today's festival to match the two children.

"Junru, you should be twenty-four years old today, right? Tiger? ”

Qu Junru didn't quite understand what the master meant by asking him about his age and attributes?

"Well, Master, you have a good memory. What's wrong, Master? ”

Teacher Hou laughed and said to him with his sincere words: "Hanghang is also a tiger, and it just so happens that your brothers and sisters have not seen each other for many years, and the relationship can be slowly cultivated in the future." Master, now, too, is old and wants to hug his grandson or granddaughter. So I want to tell you to be your wife, what do you think? ”

At this time, Qu Junru and Li Hang made surprised voices almost at the same time:

"Huh?!"

"Ahh No way? Mom, you're not mistaken?! ”

When Qu Junru heard his master's words, he reacted that the one in front of him was too big.

Master didn't know that he had been with Li Hang for six years to complete the task, so he rashly ordered the Mandarin Duck Spectrum, which was not good for him.

"That's it, Master, this is not a joke!"

Teacher Hou's expression became serious, and he asked Qu Junru what holiday it was today: "I'm not joking with you two, Junru do you know what holiday it is today?" ”

Qu Junru was tricked by his master like this: "Valentine's Day...... No, Master, after all these years, why do you still like to set me up? ”

Teacher Hou smiled and asked, "What is the charm of mathematics?" ”

Qu Junru subconsciously said: "Set the formula according to the title, this is ......"

Li Hang questioned his own mother: "Mom, are you serious? ”

Teacher Hou looked at the two of them, nodded and said, "Ang, of course you are serious." Didn't you always argue about marrying your senior brother when you were a child, and now, your mother has created a chance for you, why are you cowardly? ”

When Li Hang heard his mother's words, his face turned red, and he gave her mother a vigorous explanation: "Mom, you can't take your words seriously when you were a child!" Besides, how can you take it seriously if a child is playing at home! ”

No matter what the reason is, Qu Junru will not be with Li Hang.

Thinking about it, the six-year partnership friendship has not made Qu Junru feel the slightest bit of love for Li Hang, do you still expect a word from the master to let him start Li Hang, a junior sister?

Teacher Hou is more open-minded, and he doesn't have to let Qu Junru marry his daughter, nor does he have to let his daughter marry his beloved apprentice: "If you don't marry Junru, then Hanghang, you can bring back a boyfriend for me and your father as soon as possible, let us see how you look." ”

In the cognition of Mr. Hou and her husband, they will feel that the fact that their daughter and her lover can tie the knot is the result that they want to accept the most.

Nowadays, it is no longer the era of arranged marriages, if the daughter or the lover does not fancy each other, the two elders cannot force it, and can only respect the opinions of the two children themselves.

Li Hang responded to her mother's words, and was also very happy: "Okay, I will definitely try my best to bring back a boyfriend and give you two elders a look." ”

Teacher Hou is willing to give her daughter a chance: "Okay, that's it." Lao Li, are you ready? When you're ready, eat first! ”

Later, she greeted her husband again.

On the other hand, Mr. Li, during the time he was busy in the kitchen, had actually cooked several relatively simple meals.

"Well, come and eat! Hanghang, Junru, what drink do you want to drink, pour it yourself. ”

Qu Junru thanked his father: "Thank you, father." ”

Li Hang ran to the beverage area and took a bottle of orange juice for himself: "Dad is the best!" ”

In this sumptuous family banquet, the four of them ate very happily.

After eating, Li Hang casually made an excuse and pulled Qu Junru into the house.

After closing the door, Li Hang's face showed embarrassment: "Senior brother, don't take the incident my mother said, don't take it to heart." ”

Qu Junru understood what she meant, and during the six years of being a partner, she didn't give her any answer, in fact, she had already given a wordless answer.

"Well, I know. The past is gone, and we can't always dwell on it. Time is like the sand between our fingers, which will slip away imperceptibly in our vision of the future, and in the end there will be nothing left. Compared with the past and unpredictable future that have already been experienced, cherishing the warmth and concern in front of you and living the best version of yourself is the most rewarding thing. ”

Li Hang guessed that his parents were eavesdropping outside the door, and deliberately gave him a look.

After six years of partnering, Qu Junru has long had a tacit understanding with her.

Li Hang then went against Qu Junru through chanting poems to communicate with each other: "Ten years of life and death, without thinking, unforgettable, the deepest thoughts and the deepest feelings, you can't forget if you want to." If life is only as it was when you first saw it, what is sad and autumn, if life can be the same as when you first saw it. ”

Qu Junru replied to her: "The two feelings are as sweet as honey, but people's feelings are easy to deteriorate. ”

Li Hang quickly added: "If you want to buy osmanthus and carry wine, it will not be the same in the end, I will always cherish every moment of my life, and cherish the encounters and reunions after a long absence." ”

Qu Junru smiled lightly and said, "The most important thing is that the world can't stay, and Zhu Yan is a flowery tree." Things are people, and everything is restless, and tears flow first. In the summer of 2010, I inadvertently saw you with black hair and domineering. In the summer of 2010, I accidentally found the person who likes to walk alone. In the summer of 2010, I inadvertently got to know you who was still young and loved to cry. In the summer of 2010, I inadvertently paid attention to the one who was slowly trying to grow. In the summer of 2010, you broke into my heart without warning. Senior sister, we can't go back. ”

Li Hang didn't talk about poetry, and began to play with him: "People choose their beloved meaning from the poet's words. The whole sentence is: people choose their beloved meaning from the words of the poet, but the ultimate meaning of the poem is directed to you. ”

Qu Junru smiled and said, "There are not too many beautiful things in the world, the wind blowing from the other side of the river in the evening of the beginning of autumn and you in your twenties who laugh and kill you." ”

At this time, Li Hang walked to the window of his room, opened a beer can, handed it to him, and said: "Under the planet of night, the two of us talk in silence, open a case of beer, break a corner of the moon or sneak to the edge of the dream, and see if the clock is soft and hanging. ”

Qu Junru took the beer she handed over and responded to Li Hang: "The happiness of getting together is always short-lived. The good times are like a piece of candy in our long lives, which melts after a while in our mouths. What sustains us is the expectation of how sweet the next candy will be, or the imagination of whether the next candy will be shit candy or gummy candy. "

Li Hang didn't know if he had heard such a story: "Senior brother, do you know why crows look like writing desks? "

Qu Junru has not watched this kind of fairy tale since he was a child, but when he was in love with Jiang Rui, he liked to search all kinds of small stories on the Internet to share with her.

In fact, he didn't read any of those stories.

Since he was a child, he has watched such ancient masterpieces as "The Education of Love", "Water Margin", "Yue Fei", and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

"Huh? What's that? Crow? Desk? ”

Li Hang was surprised when he heard his question.

He has read so many books, but he has never read this fairy tale?

Then, Li Hang said to him: "The whole sentence is: Alice said, Mad Hatter, I like you." The Mad Hatter said, why? Alice said, because the crow is like a writing desk. The Mad Hatter asks, why does the crow resemble a writing desk? Alice said, because I like you for no reason. Senior brother, since I met you six years ago, I have always been afraid that I am not good enough, afraid that I am not good enough, and that you think that my liking is nothing more than that. ”

Qu Junru has completely broken off his feelings, so he naturally likes Li Hang's feelings and doesn't want to accept it: "Oh, we are all adults, so we don't need to be so naïve about love." ”

Li Hang laughed self-deprecatingly: "Understood, understood!" You still can't get out after six years? ”

Qu Junru did not answer Li Hang directly, but asked her the first question: "What does it mean to note VIP?" ”

Li Hang looked at the night sky outside the window: "Ve."

y Impo

ta

t Pe

so

is a very important person. ”

Qu Junru then asked, "Then, junior sister, what does remark Blue mean?" ”

Li Hang had already guessed it, but she still had a glimmer of hope for Qu Junru: "Because love yoU eve."

yday, because I love you every day. ”

Qu Junru went on to ask the elements of the three periodic tables: "What does Os At Nb mean?" ”

Li Hang's mind is very fast, and even after six years, he can still remember what these three elements mean: "This is the element on the periodic element in chemistry class, Os is osmium, At is astatine, and Nb is niobium." The homonym is: I love you. ”

Qu Junru used these three questions to give a formal response to Li Hang: "Now, do you understand?" It's hard for people who are too soft-hearted to be happy, rejecting others is like doing something wrong, being too soft-hearted is an unfair kindness, helping others but wronging yourself, and being treated as a fool by others, I don't want to suffer from love anymore, even if I know that you are very good to me and like me, but I don't dare to love anymore. ”

Li Hang borrowed the strength of the beer and said to Qu Junru: "Senior brother, you are really a coward!" If you always feel that you are good enough for her, you are not loving her enough. What is love, love is to do your best, but still often feel indebted, if love is just a feeling, then when it encounters challenges, this feeling will quickly disappear, because they can easily get this feeling in different people, so the most common word for empathy is that I don't feel it. But true love is not a feeling, it is more of a responsibility, a kind of mutual sacrifice and mutual achievement: true love must not be an instantaneous touch, but must be a permanent commitment, mutual sacrifice, mutual achievement, mutual respect True love must be related to responsibility and restraint, true love must come from the heart, must be willing to take responsibility for love. ”

Qu Junru understood that she wanted to be good for herself, but he didn't dare to love anymore: "I read from the book that when people reach a certain age, they will find that what you need is no longer a vigorous love, but a person who will not leave you." What really moves a person is never the love words and expensive gifts in the ears, but the subconscious thoughts, the tenderness in the tone and the care in the eyes. The best encounter in the world is not on the road, but in the heart. The best relationship is not to get along day and night, but to accompany each other silently, the best companionship is that you are there, I am here, and I have been. Affection is not as good as long-term companionship, love does not need to be said, companionship is the most affectionate confession. ”

Li Hang chuckled lightly and responded to Qu Junru: "In our school, the teacher told us such a thing. A language professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) said that in English, a double negative sentence means an affirmative, but in Russian, a double negative sentence still means a negative, but there is no language that can mean a negative with a double affirmation. At this time, a voice came from the classroom: Ah, yes, yes, yes! ”

If it was someone else, he might have laughed when he heard Li Hang's words.

However, Qu Junru was the only man who understood Li Hang's words: "The culture is broad and profound, and foreigners don't understand the charm of our Chinese, which is also normal." Can it be proved that two people who are definitely together will eventually move towards marriage and whitehead? ”

Li Hang took a sip of beer, swallowed it, and said to him: "Dear senior brother, you can listen to very sad songs, but I want you to look at the sun, stars, moon, pedestrians, trees, flowers, raindrops, and animals outside. Seeing the world, it is also shining. As for you, you shouldn't be an orange that squeezes yourself out of juice and is thrown away. You should be a fruit tree, blooming in spring and in autumn, flourishing every year. Senior brother, you don't have to be as bright as a star, so that people dare not approach, and you don't have to be like a falling leaf, so that people can't hear your efforts. You just walk happily on the street, you don't have to be afraid of not being happy enough in the future, you are happiness itself. ”

Qu Junru's impulse for feelings and his desire for a girlfriend disappeared when he saw Jiang Rui chatting with a boy six years ago.

"People are the same as sycamores, they can barely stand when their hearts are empty, and others think that it will sprout next spring, but in fact it is already dead in that winter."

After saying this, Qu Junru had already left her room.

Watching his beloved apprentice leave the house, Mr. Hou chased after him with the packed meals: "Junru, what did you talk about with Hanghang, why did you leave?" Take these things that Master has prepared for you, and go home and say hello to your parents on Master's behalf. ”

When Qu Junru was putting on his shoes, he turned around and smiled at his master: "Master, my sister and I are destined not to be together, so don't mess around with the mandarin duck score." ”

Teacher Hou now understood the reason why he was leaving, and he didn't force him to be with his daughter.

"Okay, then you get these meals and snacks."

Qu Junru thanked Master: "Thank you, Master." ”

After that, he went home alone with the things that Master had prepared.

Li Hang's father heard Qu Junru's words outside the door, he came to his daughter's boudoir, and said to his daughter, who was already half drunk and half awake: "Hanghang, this is the information I read from a newspaper, it is a letter written by a father to his daughter, I want to give this article to you as well." Children, time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, babbling in swaddling clothes, and toddlers in the courtyard are all a long time ago, and before you know it, you have grown up. You hate preaching, but I still have to say a few words, which may not be effective for you, but it is a comfort for me. Regarding morality, the phrase of being a moral person is not new. Kindness is not only in the heart, but when you can help others, don't be stingy. Dad has received favors from others, and they must know how to give back to society. Regarding knowledge, there is a theory that reading is useless, and there are also people who make a windfall without reading. If you can realize that there are many meaningful ways to live after graduation, then this study will not be in vain! Regarding competition, the rules should become more and more fair, but the competition will definitely become more and more cruel, and you must also know that if a person does not want to live a lowly life, he must have the capital to make himself look up. As for beauty, girls, it's okay to buy some new clothes, wear jewelry, and add color with cosmetics. Of course, being beautiful and attractive is not just about appearance, knowledge is the best cosmetic! It's an attraction that years can't take away. When it comes to love, love is beautiful, love is serious, and it must be taken seriously. The decision of love should be based on the usual meticulous investigation, not on the impulse of the moment, I hope that your future boyfriend will be honest and self-contained, and if you are serious, I will bless you. When it comes to making friends, a happy life should not depend on money and wealth, but on social relationships. Happiness is shared, sadness is shared, and in a person's life, there must be a few friends who have had a good relationship. When it comes to time, time is the easiest to come by, and it's the least cherished. Don't always feel like you're young and too early to do anything, and spend your time on something meaningful. Children, it is better for you to practice a thousand things and ten thousand, Dad can't teach you everything, nor can he accompany you for a lifetime, time passes, life will not always be there. One day, parting will be forever. Hopefully, these suggestions will be beneficial to you. Be happy and happy whenever and wherever you are. ”

After listening to her father's preaching, Li Hang responded to her father drunkenly: "Dad, I have read this article a long time ago, you should rest early, I drank a little too much tonight, fortunately, I told him everything in my heart, as for what he thinks in the future, I can't care about it." Bother, close the door, thank you! ”

Teacher Li is more honest, and when he heard that his daughter let him close the door, out of his father's concern for his daughter, he took a few steps forward to help her cover the quilt, and closed the door by the way when he left.
