Chapter 20

The holiday is fleeting, and the new semester will start after the Lantern Festival.

The day before sending Tao Yingnan back to Jiangbei, Yang Fangting bought her a lot of snacks and fruits for her to take on the road to eat.

Tao Ting gave her a new schoolbag, and agreed with her to take her over to play after the holiday.

As soon as her cousin left, no one accompanied Tao Ting to eat and sleep, and she was still a little unaccustomed to it.

Tao Ting's topic is literary analysis, there is no standard answer for the interpretation of an article, it is easy to write, and Tao Ting quickly finalized it under the guidance of her tutor.

What really bothered her was that she seemed to be in a period of burnout for graduate school.

The more Tao Ting wanted to make progress, the less satisfactory the results became, and she began to wonder if her decision was correct, and what she was doing now made sense.

Tao Ting's concentration began to decline, and there was no way to calm down, but the more she couldn't calm down, the more she couldn't study, and she seemed to have fallen into a vicious circle.

When she was tired, Tao Ting would hug her legs and nest in a chair, staring at the score sheet attached to the wall in a daze.

Those letters meant scrutiny and judgment, and it still made Tao Ting feel breathless.

I used to put it on the wall to motivate herself, to remind her of the gaps she still had to fill, but now it seems to have changed its taste, motivation has become pressure, and pressure has become resistance.

Tao Ting looked at the piece of paper, suddenly reached out and ripped it off, folded it and stuffed it into a drawer.

She lowered her legs and sat up straight again, picked up the pen she had handy, and refocused on the exercises.

You don't want to prove it to anyone, and you don't want to show anyone by doing all this, Tao Ting told herself in her heart.

It's okay if you fail, it's just an attempt, and you still have a lot of ways to go.

The weather is gradually getting warmer, and Tao Ting's most hated season has arrived.

Spring sleepiness tortures the will, and ordinary coffee is no longer effective for her, so Tao Ting begins to try to drink iced American.

No sugar or milk, the concentration is diluted with water and is bitter and astringent, but it is really refreshing to drink in one sip.

By the end of May, the dissertation defense was completed, and the progress of the four years of the university was 99 percent complete.

Separation is imminent, and the roommate proposes that everyone travel to Hangzhou together.

Tao Ting only told her parents about the graduate school entrance examination, and three days and two nights were enough for her to finish a workbook.

After a night of repeated entanglements in her heart, Tao Ting still agreed to go out with her roommates.

Some people may never see each other again after a certain goodbye, so make sure you meet on the days when you can.

After a rainstorm, the air temperature in Shencheng soared, the branches of green trees and sparrows chirped, and the summer wind was hot and humid, like the breath of all things in heaven and earth.

Even more annoying than the chirping of cicadas outside the window is the sound of the decoration of the new residents downstairs, which jingles every day, making Tao Ting's head ache.

She could only put on headphones to read books and try to block out the noise with music, but after a while, her right ear began to have persistent tinnitus.

When she went to the hospital to register, the doctor said that she had worn the headphones for too long, and bacteria grew in her ears and became inflamed.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and the more I study, the more I realize that there are still many things I don't know.

Illness made Tao Ting's mood also low, and on the way home, she leaned her head against the car window, and the whole person looked listless.

"Don't wear the headphones yet." Yang Fangting said to Tao Ting, "There is a quarrel at home, why don't you go to the city library?" ”

"I went there once, and I was an elementary school student doing homework during the summer vacation."

"What about the coffee shop?"

Tao Ting shook her head: "People don't start business until ten o'clock, and I still have to stay at home in the morning." ”

"Huh." Yang Fangting sighed, "I'll ask tomorrow how long the downstairs will be renovated." ”

"Why don't you go to my place for a review?" Tao Zejun proposed.

Yang Fangting asked, "How do you review there?" ”

"I have a spare room, I'll just let Xiao Wu put a table in, it's quiet, no one bothers you, you can stay as long as you want."

Yang Fangting looked at Tao Ting and felt that it was a feasible solution: "What do you say?" Or go to Daddy's company. ”

Tao Ting nodded: "It seems that this is the only way." ”

"I went back and took anti-inflammatory drugs to get a good night's sleep, and the doctor said that it had something to do with your lack of rest." Yang Fangting couldn't help but nag.

Tao Ting didn't squeak, Tao Zejun helped her daughter speak: "Don't make any noise about her, I think it has something to do with your long-winded all day long, my ears hurt when I hear it." ”

"Tsk." Yang Fangting hit him.

Tao Zejun hurriedly said: "What about driving, what about driving." ”

Tao Ting sat in the back row and laughed secretly.

Tao Zejun was born in the countryside, and came to Shencheng to work alone in his twenties, first doing post-production work in a film studio, occasionally helping to record some miscellaneous films, and later a director felt that his voice was not wrong, and his Mandarin was also standard, so he began to try out roles with lines.

In some ways, Tao Ting is very similar to him, at that time, Tao Ze had the idea of taking the road of dubbing, and immediately began to save money to prepare for the advanced class of the film academy.

The studio was established three years ago, Tao Zejun felt that he had been a voice for half his life, and he was getting older, it was time to turn behind the scenes, and he also wanted to explore and cultivate more new people as much as possible and give them more opportunities.

The next day, Tao Ting took the computer and books to Huisheng, most of the people in the company were Tao Zejun's apprentices, and Tao Ting knew everything.

Wu Chao helped her set up her desk and moved a sofa to facilitate her lunch break.

"You can call me if you have something."

"Thank you, little Angkor."

"You're welcome, you can study."

With an exclusive study room, Tao Ting felt that she had to study harder.

In the morning, when her mind is clear, she spends her time memorizing English words and political issues.

She can now drink iced Americano with a blank face, although she still feels bitter.

Even if she is not sleepy in the middle of the day, Tao Ting will lie on the small sofa for half an hour with her eyes closed, just to relax and relax her mind.

Hearing someone open the door in a daze, Tao Ting thought it was Wu Chao or Tao Ze and didn't care.

However, there was also a voice with a round voice: "White Stone Tower, White Stone Tower, build the White Stone Tower......"

Tao Ting frowned, opened her eyes, lifted the blanket and raised her head.

It was an unfamiliar face, and when she moved, she startled the other party.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see anyone here!" When the man had finished speaking, he was about to go out.

"Eh, it's okay." Tao Ting sat up and called him, "I'm not asleep, I'm just lying down." ”

The boy turned around, blushed, and said, "I thought it was an empty room." ”

"It's an empty room." was just occupied by one of her graduate school entrance examination parties, Tao Ting asked him, "Are you practicing your lines?" ”

"Yes."

"I don't think I've seen you before." Tao Ting said.

The boy replied, "I'm here for the training camp." ”

Tao Ting nodded, Huisheng will hold a training camp twice a year, and if there are students with excellent performance, they will sign directly after the end.

No wonder he doesn't look very old, and he looks beautiful and clean.

Tao Ting asked, "Don't you take a break at noon?" ”

"I'm not very good at basic skills, so I want to practice more."

"Then you can practice."

"Does it bother you?" The boy was a little embarrassed.

Originally, this empty room was for them, and the person who should be embarrassed was Tao Ting, who said: "No, I will lie down for a while after lunch, and you can come over from 12 o'clock to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, it's okay." ”

"Or am I bothering you?"

The boy hurriedly shook his head: "No, no." ”

Seeing that he had a name slip on his body, Tao Ting asked, "Your name is He Feng?" ”

The boy's face was still flushed: "Stage name, my real name is Ji Feng, the season of the season, the maple of the maple leaf." ”

"My name is Tao Ting." Tao Ting looked at him and asked softly, "Are you hot?" ”

"Sort of." He grinned.

Tao Ting pointed to the desktop and said, "The remote control of the air conditioner is there, you can turn the temperature down." ”

The boy nodded.

"I'll lie down a little longer, as you please." Tao Ting said.

"Okay." Ji Feng whispered two sentences, but still raised his head uneasily, "Won't it really bother you?" ”

"No, it won't." Tao Ting was amused by him, "You say it out loud." ”

"Okay." He gradually let go of his voice, "Four is four, ten is ten......"

After that, Ji Feng would come every day at noon.

He practiced his lines at the window, and Tao Ting lay down on the sofa to rest.

When she heard the door closing, she knew it was almost time to get up and study.

At first, Ji Feng only came during Tao Ting's lunch break, and once he came in with a lunch box, she happened to be eating.

"Can I eat here?"

"Yes." Tao Ting moved a place to the side and vacated half of the sofa for him.

Ji Feng asked her, "Do you come every day?" ”

"Basically."

Ji Feng took out a bottle of milk from his pocket: "Here you go." ”

Tao Ting was stunned, and reached out to take it: "Thank you." ”

"You're not working here, are you?"
