After the scholarship program was confirmed, Su Yunbai complained for a long time that she had not handled it properly.
She did not regret setting up the program, but she felt that she should not act as if she was convinced by Huo Qinian. Because some people are very good at taking advantage of others, and they are omnipresent.
Su Yunbai did not know how Huo Qinian understood it, but since the scholarship program, he seemed to have started to regain his momentum.
If Huo Qinian wanted to influence Su Yunbai by "infiltrating" the people around her at the beginning, now he rolled up his sleeves and took action personally, and his style of doing things changed so much that Su Yunbai was really caught off guard for a while.
On a new day, Su Yunbai was running simulations and other data in the office, and vaguely heard a low noise in the corridor.
It was almost noon, and it was lunch time. This noise, probably the graduate students on the same floor made an appointment to have lunch, right? Su Yunbai didn't care much.
But strangely, the noise not only did not subside quickly, but it became more and more intense and closer.
Soon, there was a knock on the door of Su Yunbai's office.
Except for the break time, Su Yunbai always kept the door open, so she looked up subconsciously.
At first glance, she didn't see anyone, but only a bunch of giant flowers. The flowers were so big that they almost formed a ball, and their diameter was even comparable to the width of the door. The flowers
were blooming vigorously, in full swing, and at a glance, the red, white and pink ones were very eye-catching.
Su Yunbai was stunned.
Is this another activity held in the courtyard? - When dealing with students, you will encounter all kinds of strange things, especially when you are not arrogant, there will be more such "surprises".
But this time, are the flowers too big?
At this time, a handsome young man in a suit and vest finally poked his head out from behind the flowers and said with a smile: "Excuse me, are you Teacher Su Yunbai? These flowers are for you."
The students who followed the young man and watched the excitement exclaimed one after another.
The flowers were so beautiful. At a glance, there were carnations, sword orchids, roses, sunflowers... The combination was extremely complicated, but because of this, although the flowers attracted people's attention, they did not make people think of anything wrong.
Su Yunbai did not think about anything else - if this was a bouquet of roses, or if it was easy for people to associate it with the so-called 999 flowers at a glance, the sensation would be on another level.
After Su Yunbai saw off the enthusiastic flower delivery boy and watched the excited students, he finally had time to sit down and look at the flower card.
The flower card was clipped in a very secret place, and on it was written a very simple blessing in cursive English: "Have a nice day."
I wish you a wonderful day.
The flower card was exquisitely made, with hidden golden patterns. The cursive English words were flying like dragons and dancing like phoenixes, graceful and very beautiful.
In comparison, the content written here seemed too simple. This is a very common blessing. When Su Yunbai was a teaching assistant during his study abroad, he used to add this sentence in his reply to students' emails. It was very ordinary and very common.
Su Yunbai looked at the cursive English words for a long time, but still couldn't determine who sent the flowers.
This is where the cleverness of this matter lies.
Anyone who receives flowers, no matter how humble they are, will have to think about who could possibly send them flowers.
When they think of a name, they have to carefully consider their relationship with this person, their friendship, and the other person's intentions... There are so many things implied in this that cannot be told to outsiders but they have to think about it over and over again in their hearts.
Many things are afraid of such careful thinking. Once they think about it, it seems that even ordinary eye contact in daily life can be guessed to have a pulse of affection.
This is an undercurrent between the recipient and the sender, and the sender is obviously well aware of it.
Among the people Su Yunbai knows, there are actually not many people who have such a mind and would do such a thing. After thinking about it, she thought that the most likely person is of course Huo Qinian.
But is Huo Qinian the kind of person who would write "Have a nice day"? Wouldn't it be a disservice to his self-proclaimed taste if he didn't excerpt a small and special poem?
Su Yunbai thought about it for a long time but to no avail. She was too lazy to waste that time and just left it alone.
To some extent, Su Yunbai is a very typical science and engineering student. Sometimes she would be too straightforward and even "unromantic".
She never learned to appreciate this "hiding the head and showing the tail" way of doing things, especially when she didn't have those romantic thoughts in her heart, she felt that everything was mediocre. When she
thought that the flower would wither in a few days, the good times would not last long... she even felt that the flower was flashy and impractical.
After the flower delivery incident, Su Yunbai received another call at the end of work.
The call was from a famous private restaurant in the city, saying that their delivery man was about to leave, and wanted to confirm with Su Yunbai again whether to deliver dinner to 101, Unit 3, North District, A Garden.
Su Yunbai was simply confused.
When did she order the meal?
Because of this, Su Yunbai didn't even have time to eat dinner, and hurried home. She really saw the delivery man who had been waiting for a long time at the gate of her community.
Attached to it was a meal card with the words written in the same cursive English: "Hope you will find everything to your taste." Hope
everything is to your taste.
Su Yunbai: ...
This matter is not over yet.
After receiving the flowers and the dinner, she also received various private couriers, which contained all kinds of strange things.
Some of them Su Yunbai was too lazy to even take a look at. For example, an invitation card to a certain auction: if she likes anything at the auction, she can take it away directly, and the other party will pay for it; there are invitation letters and design brochures issued by a certain jewelry exhibition center, which can also be taken away if she likes it...
In addition, there are some things that are obviously trying to please Su Yunbai.
For example, the user account of a supercomputing center in City A: With this account, she can call on more advanced and efficient computer resources to help with simulations and calculations.
Invitation qualifications to a certain club: The club will regularly invite some industry leaders to give lectures, and some of the research directions are really interesting to Su Yunbai...
Huo Qinian's gift-giving addiction has lasted for nearly half a month. Although he never signs his name, Su Yunbai is not that stupid and has known that he did it.
The two of them have been negotiating for several rounds around this matter: Su Yunbai wants Huo Qinian to stop, but Huo Qinian insists on continuing to give gifts.
On Saturday night of the new week, Su Yunbai went to the fitness center to exercise as usual. Before leaving, he happened to meet Ji Cheng. The two chatted for a while, and he suddenly asked about this: "Qinian... is it still going on?"
Su Yunbai was drinking water and was stunned when she heard it, "You know it too?" She put her hand on her forehead, looking like she had a headache, "Is this almost becoming a joke?"
Ji Cheng smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "There are actually not many secrets in the circle. But fortunately, not many people dare to laugh at jokes."
He leaned on the railing, looking at Su Yunbai, and asked casually: "So, he is really still going on?"
When Su Yunbai mentioned this, his expression was a little annoyed, "I don't know, anyway, he won't jump in front of me."
Ji Cheng seemed a little surprised.
Su Yunbai explained, "There was a period of time ago when people in our community complained that couriers were always lost. Later, the property management company set up a convenient service point that can receive, send and keep couriers on behalf of the owners.
"I have entrusted all my express delivery business to them, and asked them to forward all 'qualified' couriers back to Lianshan. They are very efficient, and I haven't been bothered for several days."
Ji Cheng smiled and said, "We should praise them."
Su Yunbai's sweat was almost gone, so he stood up and said, "You go about your business. I've almost finished my exercise today, so I'll leave first."
Ji Cheng stood up and said, "I'll take you there."
"No need. It's only a few steps. "
This fitness center is indeed not far from the north area of A Garden. It only takes about ten minutes to walk. Su Yunbai has been walking here and there for several weeks.
Ji Cheng said, "I didn't drive here either. It was just on my way. In fact, I didn't ask you to take me there. We should walk together."
Seeing Su Yunbai's surprise, he explained, "I moved recently to Xishan Apartment."
Xishan Apartment is the community next to A Garden. The two sides are indeed very close.
Su Yunbai was even more surprised - compared with large villa locations like Lianshan, Xishan Apartment is still not as good.
Ji Cheng continued to explain, "It happened recently. I live alone, so I don't have such a big requirement for the area. It just so happens that this place is quite close to my company. It takes at least half an hour to get to my company from the city. Winter is coming soon, and I don't want to spend so much time commuting. "
Since it was on the way, Su Yunbai didn't refuse.
The first phase of the environmental assessment training was about to end, and Su Yunbai had never found a time to discuss the follow-up arrangements with Ji Cheng. Now was an opportunity.
It was already late autumn, and the night wind was cool. There were many pedestrians on the road, most of whom were walking and chatting like them.
The night breeze was just right, and the person by your side was the one you had been waiting for for many years. She whispered beside you. Whispering, the street lights on the side lengthened your shadows, from long to short and then to long again. You accidentally got close to each other, and the sleeves of your shadows entangled with each other. You can even smell the faint fragrance coming from her body, long and elegant, just like her.
The so-called stability in this world.
Ji Cheng's heart suddenly surged with a great emotion, and he said what he was still considering: "Yunbai, you know that Qinian wants to win you back, right?" He stopped and looked at Su Yunbai, "What do you think? "
Su Yunbai was stunned.
Looking at Ji Cheng's worried eyes, she felt moved and awkward at the same time.
Although they have known each other for many years, Su Yunbai rarely took the initiative to talk to Ji Cheng about her emotional affairs. First, she has no habit of complaining to others, and second, Ji Cheng is not a good candidate.
- After all, they have known each other for many years, and Ji Cheng is a person of the opposite sex, so Su Yunbai still has this sense of propriety. What's more, Ji Cheng and Huo Qinian have been friends for many years, and it always feels weird for Su Yunbai to complain about Huo Qinian in front of him.
But Ji Cheng has always been very concerned about her affairs. When it comes to Huo Qinian and her, he seems to have always stood on her side.
Su Yunbai thought of this and couldn't bear to always reject his kindness, so she said, "I know. As for my thoughts... Once bitten by a snake, don't say I'm not in the mood to think about these things now. Even if I really have, I won't repeat the same mistakes. "
"But Qinian won't be willing to accept it." Ji Cheng's expression was indifferent, as if he was praising, and as if he was hinting at something, "One of his greatest advantages is that he never retreats when difficulties arise.
"Yunbai, he won't give up."
Su Yunbai has already experienced this point.
Think about it, from their divorce to now, how much trouble has Huo Qinian gone through?
In the past, when he said he wanted to save the relationship, Su Yunbai really thought it was absurd and ridiculous. But now, no matter whether she accepts it or not, at least he has made a full gesture to save the relationship.
Su Yunbai has rejected him in various ways. Disdain, sarcasm, even frankness and righteousness... all are useless - just by giving a gift, he has caused so much trouble!
Su Yunbai really can't beat him.
Huo Qinian is really "unafraid of difficulties", and he looks like he is determined to fight her to the end. With his persistence and persistence, if Su Yunbai didn't have self-knowledge, she would really think that she is so charming that she can conquer the country.
Thinking of these things, Su Yunbai is also a headache.
Ji Cheng tentatively asked: "Have you ever thought about another way... a more decisive way to directly cut off his thoughts?"
"For example?"
"For example, you are no longer single."
