MTL - Why is the Bright Moon Shining?-Chapter 10
Xu Can returned to the dormitory, handed the packaged spicy dry pot to Guo Xiaoya, and got a kiss from her in the air. I searched for Mo Yan with my mobile phone, read the author's profile, and read the comments on Mo Yan's popularity and so on.
Then he glanced at the author Sanmao again.
Seeing the huge difference in the photos of the two, Xu Can couldn't help grinding his teeth.
After reading it all, she put down her phone and sighed, "I forgot."
Guo Xiaoya opened her supper box, and happily took off her chopsticks. She raised her head and asked, "What did you forget?"
Xu Can: "Forgot to add vinegar to the pot for you."
Guo Xiaoya asked stupidly: "But I don't like vinegar. It's not sour, sour, or spicy, and it's not delicious."
Xu Can sighed: "I know."
"…"
Guo Xiaoya opened the rice lid and saw a large lump of minced garlic in the middle. The corners of her lips twitched: "I condemn you on behalf of the garlic lovers." She took out a napkin and picked out the whole lump of minced garlic.
"You told me it was a speech to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Mo Yan's death. When Mo Yan sat on the stage, the first sentence he said was 'Everyone tonight, I am Mo Yan'. I almost wanted to ask, isn't Mo Yan dead?"
Guo Xiaoya immediately laughed out loud when she heard the words. She laughed for five minutes before wiping the corners of her eyes: "Hey, did you really ask Teacher Tong like that?"
Xu Can: "No, just ask him if he is the author himself."
"Isn't that okay, isn't that nothing?"
"But she asked me which book Mo Yan had read, and I said seriously, I have read the Sahara desert..."
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…"
Guo Xiaoya burst into laughter again, clapped the table, and said, "I'm sorry, I broke your identity as a talented girl hahaha..."
Xu Can came back with a heart fluttering.
After sitting down, thinking about the appointment to watch the movie the day after tomorrow, I was delighted for a long time. Started to recall the details of today's little date again.
"Why do you look so strange?"
Guo Xiaoya looked at her while eating, "Haven't you read Mo Yan's book, and Teacher Tong won't really dislike you."
"No, I just feel like I didn't perform well tonight."
"It's alright, dating with a crush and a major test in life is generally not good. It's normal."
Xu Can said firmly: "No, the more important the exam, the better I perform."
"Pfft," Guo Xiaoya chewed the shrimp dumplings in her mouth and laughed hard, "Xu Can, are you sure you want to refute me on this point?"
"...What you said makes sense. Generally speaking, they don't perform well. It's normal."
Guo Xiaoya clapped the table and laughed again.
"Xu Cancan, tell my sister, what are you talking about with Professor Tong tonight? I'll help you analyze it and estimate the score."
"Um…"
Xu Can pondered for a while, then said hesitantly, "Anyway, the air conditioner in the small auditorium is so hot that I was sleepy. Then I slept on her shoulder, woke up and finished the show. Everyone was gone."
"…"
Guo Xiaoya reacted for a long time, and then said with tears in her eyes, "Professor Tong is here to help watch the show, so you sleep on your shoulders? Forget it, just go to sleep, why didn't you wake up before the show ended, didn't she call you? ?"
"No." Xu Can thought of Tong Mingyue's "little pig", and was silent and shy for a few seconds, "She waited until I woke up by myself."
"Professor Tong really hurts you..."
Xu Can hummed softly.
Guo Xiaoya: "…"
"Then what did you say when you woke up, did you say thank you or sorry?"
"…"
Xu Can was silent for half a century as if he had lost his memory.
"I said, my neck is sore when I sleep, and when I sleep on a crooked side, it seems that my spine will arch..."
Guo Xiaoya almost choked the Yan Dumpling in her mouth, coughed a few times, and hurriedly took two sips of water to calm down and said, "What's the matter, you... Is your purpose to show off your rich medical knowledge?"
Xu Can said sincerely: "Not rich." She thought about it and added, "I only cared when you said that your neck was about to break, and then told you that if your waist is uncomfortable, twisting and twisting will only make it more uncomfortable. ,do you remember?"
"…"
Guo Xiaoya opened her mouth and reluctantly let go of this topic and continued to ask, "What about next?"
"And then I went to the cafeteria to eat. By the way, after I woke up... She also told me that the exam has been hard recently."
Xu Can recalled that the expressions on the corners of his eyes and brows were all soft.
"Well, anyway, Professor Tong really hurts you, so what did you say?"
"Let's just say, it's hard to get full marks in the test."
"Damn it," Guo Xiaoya almost slapped her chopsticks angrily, she's never seen someone so stupid in love, but she's usually able to say it, "You can't say, although it's hard work, but I love this major, and I want to be on par with Professor Tong in the future. Kind of?"
"But my pure wish in the face of the exam is to get full marks..." Xu Can closed his eyes and said, "Okay, don't talk about it, I am Xu Can, who lacks knowledge of love studies. I failed this test and applied for a make-up exam. "
"Don't make up the exam, just retake it."
When Xu Can heard the words, he lowered his head and smiled and said, "If the target is Tong Mingyue, I am willing to rebuild for a lifetime."
"Don't talk to me." Guo Xiaoya raised her eyebrows and asked again, "It's raining outside. You didn't bring an umbrella and you didn't get wet. I think Professor Tong sent you back."
Xu Can praised her for being smart.
Then holding the phone, I went to check which movies were released the day after tomorrow.
—
The next day was sunny.
Liu Yiting took Guo Xiaoya to visit the Geological Museum. They made an appointment in the first few days of the winter vacation, when there were not many tourists, they would visit the famous scenic spots in the city before going home. When you come out of the museum, the forest park next to it is also a scenic spot, so you can turn around and stroll along the way.
"It's not fun at all."
Guo Xiaoya regretted it as soon as she went in and walked a couple of steps. Leaning on Liu Yiting, she dragged along: "Look, there are middle-aged and elderly people dating over there."
"No," Liu Yiting put his arms around her waist, glanced at her, and explained with a smile, "Those were blind dates for their own children, didn't you see those aunties and uncles holding signs in their hands? All of them were written on their own terms. ."
They walked sideways and couldn't see so carefully.
Guo Xiaoya was interested when she heard the words, and pulled him: "Then let's go take a look?"
"My wife, do you think it's appropriate for our little couple to go to the blind date area hand in hand?"
"Just look at it twice." Guo Xiaoya glanced over, and Liu Yiting took her over to watch the fun.
"Those aunties and uncles..."
"and many more!"
Guo Xiaoya suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes, stopped, and even ducked behind him.
Looking at the blind date crowd, the two passers-by who were a little discordant.
"Go, follow them..."
She symbolically covered Liu Yiting's mouth, motioned him not to speak, and passed by the place where uncles and aunts gathered to talk about blind dates. Guo Xiaoya, who was still very curious just now, did not squint.
Asking the boyfriend to bend down too, the two sneakily followed the two people in front.
The two roads in the forest park are full of lush trees, the cement roads are not very neatly built, and it is not easy to hide.
Guo Xiaoya followed for a short while, then straightened her waist and walked normally with Liu Yiting's hand hooked again.
He just covered his mouth and motioned to Liu Yiting, and whispered, "Wait a minute to see my wink!"
"Why follow them," Liu Yiting hugged her and whispered, "What's the matter?"
"She's Tong Mingyue! Can't you recognize it, you idiot?"
Liu Yiting's mouth moved, and silently "I rely on", knowing why Guo Xiaoya came to follow.
He looked carefully at the woman in front of him.
Elegant long dress, high heels that reveal the ankle. The back alone is not bad.
For a straight man, he can't see how the clothes are matched. He just thinks that he is dressed beautifully, and he can see that he has been dressed.
He couldn't help whispering: "They should be dating."
"No," Guo Xiaoya pinched his flesh through the cotton coat, "Professor Tong wouldn't date an old man like that, it must be his father."
"It would be filial to accompany Dad to the park at such a young age..."
Before Liu Yiting finished speaking, he saw the man's profile at the corner and said hastily, "Wife, that old man doesn't look very old."
On the contrary, looking only a few years older than Tong Mingyue, he is still a middle-aged man with good skin and well-dressed.
Half-face, only these can be seen.
"Shut up, you say, I don't have eyes."
Guo Xiaoya's face changed, her heart felt a sense of crisis, she didn't know what to do. She lowered her voice and said, "Impossible."
Liu Yiting persuaded her: "Wife, why don't you persuade your roommate to give up? It's hard to get good results if you like a teacher, let alone a same-sex teacher."
"You don't know how much Xu Can likes Tong Mingyue."
Guo Xiaoya's heart was almost broken, "Once Teacher Tong was chatting and laughing with a male professor, that afternoon, Xu Can's experiments all failed, he looked at the test tube and sighed, I was watching, I was so afraid that she would just throw the rest Drink the lower half of the reagent."
"Is it possible that she just sighed when the experiment failed..."
Guo Xiaoya ignored him, the two followed closely, and they could see what the man said to Tong Mingyue next to him, and then the two walked to the roadside bench.
Guo Xiaoya clenched her fists and gave Liu Yiting a wink.
Then she left. Liu Yiting did not stop him, so he had no choice but to follow.
"Thank you for taking the time to bring me here."
Tong Mingyue shook his head, and the two were about to sit down on the bench.
Guo Xiaoya took Tong Mingyue's hand familiarly, smiling so hard that she couldn't see her eyes, "Ah, Professor Tong, what a coincidence to meet you here."
"…"
Guo Xiaoya: "I'm Zhang Libai, your student!"
Two people who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, squeezed between them, and sat down to separate them.
An ordinary park bench suddenly filled with four people.
Guo Xiaoya pulled Tong Mingyue to speak, the two faced each other, and Liu Yiting also held Tian Qingwang's hand. The smile on his face is kind, and he has a better relationship with him than he has with his own nephew: "Hey, hello, hello, it's an honor..."
Tong Mingyue: "…"
Tian Qingwang: "…"
Tong Mingyue pulled out her hand, touched her glasses with the back of her hand, looked at Guo Xiaoya, and finally got some impression after listening to her nonsense for a while.
Of course it's not "Zhang Libai", but her face is somewhat familiar.
Guo Xiaoya blew for half a minute, how good Professor Tong's class was, and how good she was.
It even inspired her to chemistry academic blah blah blah...
In fact, Tong Mingyue does not like to be named in her big class.
Before the exams, Xu Can would sort out the key notes for her. Guo Xiaoya took it for granted, and she has never been there twice since she skipped class. She thought Tong Mingyue would not remember her.
But she was very diligent in finding Qiu Wei. The two were in the same office, and Tong Mingyue met several times when they went in and out.
Tong Mingyue can recognize that she is a student of this department.
"Is something wrong with you?"
"No, it's just a coincidence that I met Professor Tong by chance," Guo Xiaoya smiled standardly, pointing to Liu Yiting beside her, "Teacher, he's my boyfriend, from the School of Humanities. Let me show you how handsome he is?"
Liu Yiting smiled cooperatively.
Tong Mingyue: "…"
Before she could say anything, Guo Xiaoya continued to point to Tian Qingwang in a natural tone and said, "Teacher, won't you introduce us to us?"
Liu Yiting turned his head in cooperation and continued to smile at him.
Tong Mingyue was silent for a while, but still introduced according to her words: "...He is a professor of geology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tian Qingwang."
"Oh, hello professor."
Tian Qingwang had already been grabbed by Liu Yiting and forcibly shook his hand for a long time. He nodded silently, saying hello to Guo Xiaoya.
Guo Xiaoya pretended to be innocent: "Are you dating? Did we disturb you?"
Tong Mingyue did not speak.
Guo Xiaoya's heart froze for the most part.
After a pause, I only heard Tian Qingwang say, "It's not a date, it's just that I asked her to show me around here."
Tong Mingyue still didn't speak.
The two of them looked like they were very close. Guo Xiaoya was half heartbroken. She pulled Liu Yiting to stand up and said, "I'm sorry to disturb Professor Tong. Let's go first."
petrologist? So pick a place like the Geological Museum for a date, and then come to the mountains to show off your knowledge, right?
Quite ingenious.
Guo Xiaoya's heart is crazy, can't the man who studies the stone hug Sun Wukong?
Can you be more dedicated to your career?
"Are you Xu Can's roommate?"
Guo Xiaoya just took two steps, and she stumbled on the flat bottom of her feet when she heard the words coming from behind. She held Liu Yiting's arm firmly and turned around nervously: "Teacher...do you remember me?"
"Well, I taught your class," Tong Mingyue said with no expression on her face, "I've seen you go together after class. Xu Can doesn't have many friends, and she has the best relationship with her roommate."
"…"
Guo Xiaoya made a quick calculation with a guilty conscience. The number of times she attended the class so far, she couldn't put up **** no matter how many miles she counted.
Legs are a little soft.
Can you remember her? ? ? ?
Fortunately, Professor Tong was merciful, and this didn't kill her.
—
Because Tong Mingyue recognized her, Guo Xiaoya didn't dare to hide it from Xu Can, and told her about seeing her dating Tian Qingwang, a professor of geology, in the park.
Xu Can couldn't be sour, but she still wanted to figure out what their relationship was.
The biggest possibility of insomnia guessing all night, is she on a blind date?
Tong Mingyue made an appointment with Xu Can to go to the movies in the afternoon because she still has some work to do.
Xu Can made up an excuse to come help.
Come to Tong Mingyue's office in advance to help classify the documents. As usual, he talked about everyday topics as if nothing had happened.
Talk about fun places nearby.
Xu Can suddenly asked, "Is Forest Park fun?"
She was stunned when she said it, she didn't intend to be so direct, she even made up the reason for the roundabout question. It's a subconscious error.
Tong Mingyue raised her eyes from the document and looked through the lens. It was incredible, there was no surprise or scrutiny.
"It's fun, didn't Zhang Libai tell you?"
"Zhang Libai?"
"Your roommate."
"my roommate…"
Xu Can looked at Shangtong Mingyue's interesting gaze, took a few beats slowly, and finally realized where this "Zhang Li Bai" came from.
She pursed her lips tightly, "Oh..."
"She didn't say it."
Tong Mingyue smiled lightly: "She pulled me yesterday and asked me to introduce the people around me, and then pulled her boyfriend away like a whirlwind. Didn't she say anything to you when I went back?"
"Well," Xu Can was a little embarrassed, and with some hope, he tried to be as calm as possible, "She said that Teacher Tong seems to be on a date, and the object is a geologist? He's quite handsome."
"He just came back from abroad, let me show him the places he played when he was a kid."
"Childhood sweethearts?" Xu Can's smile was awkward, but it was still the result of hard work.
"No, my aunt is busy with her career. He is a child brought up by my mother. He went abroad two years after I was born."
Xu Can heard the key point and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you a relative?"
"Well, cousin."
"Then why did you introduce it to Guo Xiaoya..." Xu Can's second half sentence was vague and soft, mainly because he had to hold back his laughter. She couldn't let herself show too much on her face.
"Introduce public office to the outside world."
Tong Mingyue lowered her head and continued to sign the project document, adding, "If it was you who met in the park yesterday, I would directly introduce you as a relative."
His tone was clear and light, as if he was just saying that the weather was good today.
Xu Can did not speak.
Tong Mingyue raised her eyes and caught a glimpse of her smile that she wanted to purse the corners of her lips.
She also bent her lips.
It seems to be coaxed?
Little awkward.
