Ann looked up at the ceiling, "That's three thousand months." ”

Tao Ting also made it difficult for her: "The new ones are all in the suburbs, and it is inconvenient to commute." ”

The rest of the listings were similar, and Ann wasn't quite satisfied with them.

Tao Ting suggested to her: "Why don't you see if there are any hotels nearby that you can rent for a short time?" ”

"I'll take another look." She asked Tao Ting, "Are you hungry?" ”

"I'm fine."

"I'm a little hungry, do you want beef ramen?"

"I can do it all."

There is a noodle restaurant in front of it, and it is not a meal at this time, and there is only one table in the store.

Ann went to the front desk and ordered two bowls of signboards with the boss, I don't know if Tao Ting eats spicy food, she turned around and shouted: "Tri......, hey, do you add spicy?" ”

Tao Ting shook her head: "Don't add it." ”

After Ann finished paying, she sat down and said to Tao Ting, "It's awkward to call you by your English name here." ”

Tao Ting laughed and took out a napkin from her bag: "I think it's awkward as long as you're outside the company." ”

"My Chinese name is An Jin, quiet An, today's Jin. What about you? ”

An Jin, is a very nice name, Tao Ting spread out the tissue and wiped the table in front of her, and replied: "Mine is very ordinary, Tao Ting, the Ting next to the female character." ”

An Jin read it again: "Tao Ting, it's very easy to remember." ”

Tao Ting smiled at her.

Soon two bowls of steaming beef noodles were served, and An Jin's bowl was poured with chili oil.

"Liam is also very spicy, and you will become good friends." Tao Ting said to her.

“Liam？ Who is it? An Jin stirred the noodles with chopsticks, and the aroma of chili peppers overflowed.

"It's also our department, and you'll get to know each other right away."

As someone who is about to work together, Tao Ting warmly reminded: "Quietly tell you, don't call Liam's Chinese name, it's not okay if you're not in the company." ”

"Why?"

"His name is Li Xie and he hates his name very much."

When An Jin heard it at first glance, he didn't think there was anything strange about this name: "What's wrong with this?" Li Xie and understand, isn't the implication very good? ”

Tao Ting reminded her: "You read it again." ”

"Li Jie, Sister Li? Oh......" Yasujin nodded, "I see." ”

"He said that when he was a child, the boys in the class always laughed at him by his name and called him 'Sister Li', and he wanted to change his name, but his family did not agree."

An Jin asked casually: "Then why didn't he say that his name was Li Xie?" ”

Tao Ting's eyes widened: "You are so smart." ”

"Well, I suddenly can't remember what Leon's name is."

Tao Ting picked up a chopstick noodle: "Xu Linyue." ”

"Oh yes, Xu Linyue."

Chapter 9

After taking two days off, Tao Ting felt that her mental state was much better.

It's just that the efficiency of working from home is too low, and she packs up her things and goes back to school after the weekend.

Tao Ting spent the morning in the library, and the students around her were studying hard, she was immersed in a strong learning atmosphere, and the completion of her thesis improved by leaps and bounds.

Faintly hearing the bell echoing outside, she realized that it was time for dinner.

The sweet and sour pork ribs in the canteen are still in demand, Tao Ting is ten minutes late, the aunts on the first floor are ready to close the stalls, and there are no seats left in the lobby, so she can only pack a meat and a vegetarian casually and take lunch back to the dormitory to eat.

It was raining lightly in the morning, the sky was overcast, and the corridors of the dormitory building were full of colorful umbrellas.

Tao Ting was holding a computer in her arms and a lunch box in her hand, and she had to be careful of the obstacles at her feet all the way.

Walking to the door of 312, she had just pulled the key out of her bag, only to find that the door was unlocked at all.

Tao Ting gently pushed open the door of the dormitory, but the lights were not turned on, and the curtains were drawn tightly, making it impossible to tell whether it was night or day for a while.

The curtains of the next bed were closed, and there were a pair of slippers next to the bed, Tao Ting walked back to her seat lightly, not knowing if her roommate Zhang Man had just taken a nap or hadn't gotten up yet.

She put on her headphones and turned on Harry Potter on her computer, intending to read it while eating.

Hearing the movement of Zhang Man turning over behind her, Tao Ting glanced back, took off her headphones and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Zhang Man was silent again, maybe it was just a whisper in a dream.

After lunch, Tao Ting threw the plastic box into the trash and took out a paper towel to wipe the table.

It's really a waste not to sleep with your head covered in this kind of weather, and I originally wanted to read the literature for a while after dinner, but Tao Ting yawned, and her eyelids became heavier and heavier.

Estimating that it was difficult for her to concentrate now, she simply took off her coat and climbed into bed to take a nap.

This was her first nap since her internship at Norbert, and she was used to being on call and injecting two hot lattes a day to refresh herself, so it was a luxury to sleep so freely.

After a while, Tao Ting fell asleep, she slept deeply, and she couldn't remember how long time had passed, until she was awakened in a daze by the sound of a heavy object falling on the ground.

The chaotic dream came to an abrupt end, and Tao Ting opened her eyes suddenly, and there was a fluttering sound of her heart beating violently in her ears.

The lights in the room were dim, she sat up and calmed her breathing, and when she regained some consciousness, she opened the curtain and looked at the other side, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Man muttered something, Tao Ting didn't hear it clearly, she could only hear that the other party's state was not very good.

She turned over and got out of bed with her mobile phone in her hand, and walked to Zhang Man's bedside: "Zhang Man, are you okay?" ”

"I'm so dizzy." Zhang Man was lying on the railing, speaking weakly, "Eh, when did you come back?" ”

"At noon, you're sleeping." Tao Ting turned on the lights in the dormitory, "Did you catch a cold?" ”

Zhang Man replied sleepily: "I had a little fever last night, and I have slept until now after taking medicine." ”

Tao Ting returned to the bedside and stood on tiptoe to look at her face: "Then are you hungry?" What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you. ”

Zhang Man shook his head: "I have evening class, so I'll go to the cafeteria to eat later." ”

Tao Ting looked at her worriedly: "Huh? Can you go to class? Why don't you take a leave of absence? ”

"I don't have any leave to ask for, and I won't have the usual time to invite me again." Zhang Man lifted the quilt and turned over and climbed down the stairs, seeing her trembling and threatening to fall down at any time, Tao Ting hurriedly stretched out her arms to support her.

"What kind of class is it?"

"School ......" Before he finished speaking, Zhang Man sneezed, "School selection, stay away from me, be careful of infection." ”

"It's okay, I'm not too prone to colds."

Zhang Man bent down on the ground to find the mobile phone he had fallen from the bed, and sat down on the chair, looking like he was struggling to breathe.

Tao Ting couldn't bear it, and said, "Why don't I go and help you?" ”

Zhang Man raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and his voice trembled: "Is it okay?" ”

"You have a good rest, I'll go, which classroom?"

"Qinxue Building 102, thank you Tao Ting." Zhang Man wanted to go over and hug her, but he was afraid that he would get too close to her, "It's okay, that teacher is very talkative, you can sign in and find a chance to leave." ”

Tao Ting glanced at her watch, she slept until more than six o'clock, and it was not long before the class time.

"Then I'll go." She picked up the jacket on the back of her chair, slipped her phone into her pocket, and went out in a panic.

When Tao Ting walked out of the dormitory building, she found that it was raining lightly outside, but she didn't bother to climb back to the third floor to get an umbrella.

She put her hood on her head, rubbed her cheeks, flushed from deep sleep, and walked into the rain.

Tao Ting hadn't come to Qinxue for more than a year to attend class, and she had been looking for a classroom for a long time, and there was only one minute left before class when she went in.

She thought she must not have woken up or had a fever, or who would tell her why she had seen her new boss in the lecture hall.

She lingered in the door for too long, and the people on the podium noticed it and turned their heads around.

The two of them looked at each other, one was stunned, the other was surprised at first, and then hooked his lips and smiled, feeling very surprised.

Tao Ting didn't dare to greet him, so she could only pretend not to know him, and walked to the classroom aisle under Leon's gaze.

Before she could find a place to sit, she heard the person behind her say, "Classmate, the back is full, you can sit here." ”

Tao Ting's face turned red instantly, she didn't take a bag, she didn't bring a notebook, she sat in the first row in a gloomy way, no matter how she looked, she didn't look like a student who was going to class.

Her cheeks and earlobes were hot, and Tao Ting curled her shoulders and lowered her head, trying to reduce her presence.

There were two men on the podium, the other of whom was supposed to be the instructor of the class, who looked about the same age as Leon, but had a completely different temperament.

"Students, let's sign in before we start class."

The moment she sat down, Tao Ting's heart was half cold, this was under her nose, how could she wait for a while.

The unexpected meeting with Leon, coupled with the fact that she hadn't woken up from the groggy sleep in the afternoon, Tao Ting's mind was in a mess, and she reported her name one by one, and only when she heard the second "Zhang Man" did she react, and hurriedly raised her hand and shouted: "Here." ”

"Your name is Zhang Man?" The person in front of him hugged his arms and looked at Tao Ting with lowered eyes.

Tao Ting stubbornly admitted: "That's right." ”

"Oh." Leon chuckled, seeing through it.

After all the students finished the roll call, Cheng Yuqian picked up the microphone to announce the class, and Tao Ting glanced at the display screen.

"Wine culture and famous wine tasting", she silently recited the name of the course in her heart, and there is still such a class in the school.

"This semester, we learned about rice wine, white wine, and red wine, and this class is about to be beer, do you know which country is the most famous for beer?"

A few answers rang out from below.

"Yes, Germany!"

Tao Ting had no intention of participating in these classroom interactions, her eyes quietly shifted to the man in the corner, who probably came directly after work, with a suit and leather shoes in his coat and a tie ironed on his chest.

"It just so happens that a good friend of mine recently returned to China, and he knows a lot more about this wine than me, so we will welcome your Xu ...... in this class" Cheng Yuqian looked back at Xu Linyue, struggling with how to address him to the students, "Mr. Xu?" ”
