Chapter 5: The first lesson with Jie Yun Jingsheng was very...
Yun Jingsheng's first class ended quickly. The teacher arranged for the dean and several teachers to have a dinner together, and asked Chen Song if he wanted to go.
Chen Song refused, saying that he had to work a part-time job tonight and would not go.
The old teacher tried to persuade him several times, but unfortunately Chen Song was too stupid to seize the opportunity, so he had to let him go with a curse.
In order to make a living, Chen Song works part-time as a kitchen assistant in a restaurant whenever he has time, usually starting from Friday night and going for two consecutive days on the weekend.
He is very interested in cooking. When he was a child, he always envied other children who could eat hot home-cooked meals when they returned home.
Since no one did it for him, he learned it himself.
Even though working in the kitchen was exhausting, he learned a lot. If he stopped studying medicine one day, he would cook.
It was already late at night when Chen Song returned home from his part-time job. After washing up, he lay down on the bed exhausted. Looking at the light on the roof, he thought of the silver necklace on Gu Mo's neck.
Gu Mo always wore that silver necklace, which was made of thick rings the size of a coin.
At first Chen Song thought it was just an ornament, but since Gu Mo kept wearing it, it probably had some meaning behind it.
Chen Song asked several times, but Gu Mo didn't answer.
Chen Song was not thinking about the shiny silver necklace, but Gu Mo.
It has been more than half a month since the last time the two of them separated, and there has been no news or phone calls from Gu Mo.
Because Chen Song didn't send it either, he knew Gu Mo wouldn't reply.
Chen Song's fingertips slid across the address book, stopping at the word "墨" at the very bottom, and finally dialed the number.
The phone rang for a long time, and just when he thought it was going to be automatically hung up, the other party answered.
"Hello." The man's deep voice sounded cold but still very pleasant over the phone.
Chen Song was stunned for a moment and said, "Gu Mo..."
"Yeah. What's up."
Chen Song's fingertips, gripping the phone, turned pale. He stared at the light on the roof without blinking, imagining it was Gu Mo's silver necklace. "It's your birthday next Thursday. Will you be home...for it?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
They never celebrated any holidays because neither of them had the habit of doing so.
Chen Song knew that their relationship was about to dissipate like smoke. He proposed this without thinking that Gu Mo would agree. It was like he was trying desperately to catch the smoke with his bare hands, but it was useless.
But he couldn't bear to let her go and was still trying to keep her.
"Well, I have nothing else to do, so I'll hang up first." Chen Song's tone was full of disappointment.
There was still silence on the other end of the line, and Chen Song fell silent too. A dense pain welled up in his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe. Neither side seemed willing to compromise, and the situation became oppressive.
"Bye." Chen Song said, and after waiting for a while, there was still no sound from the other end. He gave up struggling, and when his fingertips were about to touch the hang-up button, the other end called his name.
"Chen Song," Chen Song's heart trembled, "I will go back."
Chen Song was delighted for a moment, and his eyes were a little sore: "Okay. I'll wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Song felt relieved.
His smile was very forced, fortunately Gu Mo didn't abandon him yet.
In the next few days, Chen Song was in a good mood. He thought hard and carefully prepared a gift for Gu Mo.
On Sunday, Chen Song did not go to his part-time job. Instead, he went to a very popular online DIY diamond ring shop for couples to make a pair of diamond rings.
In fact, he had seen this store a long time ago and had always wanted to go there with Gu Mo. When the two of them were still in a good relationship, Chen Song had suggested it, but Gu Mo said, what's the point of two grown men going there, and wearing a ring, like a girl.
No one had ever made the relationship between the two of them clear, but this time Chen Song wanted to express his feelings seriously.
Chen Song wanted to tell Gu Mo that he actually loved him very much and wanted to have a stable home with him and live together.
She could cook, coax him, take good care of him, and favor him. In short, she used the wedding rings to express her commitment to Gu Mo.
Today is the weekend and there are a lot of people in the store, all of them are college couples from nearby.
Chen Song actually has some social anxiety, but he still gritted his teeth and told the clerk his request, which was to make a couple's rings.
The clerk introduced several styles to him. He had difficulty making a choice and finally picked the one with the best material, simple and elegant style.
When the waiter showed him to his seat, he asked, "Are you alone?"
Chen Song nodded somewhat embarrassedly.
The clerk smiled and said, "Then your girlfriend must be very happy to receive such a surprise."
The clerk was a girl. Seeing the handsome guy in front of her so affectionate, her eyes were twinkling with envy, and she suppressed her excitement that wanted to scream with her friends.
Several couples nearby also looked at Chen Song, their eyes full of blessings.
Chen Song felt a little embarrassed. He wanted to retort that she wasn't his girlfriend. If Gu Mo knew about this, he would probably be furious. But with so many stares, he could only smile and say, "I hope he likes it."
The clerk said that he would definitely do it and taught him the process of making the ring.
Chen Song is very skillful. Whether it is polishing or carving, he does it very delicately and perfectly, which makes the shop assistant exclaim how skillful his hands are. His girlfriend is so lucky.
Chen Song felt even more embarrassed. But to be honest, he usually practiced with a scalpel, and since he was naturally deft, the final product looked very good, even better than the samples in the store.
"The girl with the abbreviation GM is really lucky. She will definitely like it!" said the clerk.
The style chosen by Chen Song is the double-ring Möbius ring, which symbolizes eternal love and commitment, carries love across time and space, and reminds the wearer to cherish the person in front of him.
The outer spiral of the ring is engraved with gentian flower patterns on both sides, and the inner circle is engraved with the initials of the two people in capital letters, connected in the middle by the symbol of infinite loop in mathematics.
Chen Song looked at the ring lying so shiny in the black velvet box, and a smile finally appeared on his face after a busy day.
"Chen Song──!" When he was about to leave, someone called him.
Chen Song paused, took a deep breath, and felt quite helpless.
The girl looked at Chen Song with a smile. She had seen Chen Song making a ring a long time ago and really wanted to talk to him, but she felt embarrassed to disturb him because he was so focused.
"President, when did you start dating someone? Is he from our school? Or did you come here alone? He's such a great man!"
The girl was Ye Jiajia, the head of the Student Union's Arts and Culture Department. Chen Song knew she was a notorious gossip. If she knew, the whole world knew. She was also one of the few people in the Student Union who dared to talk to him without permission, and she often teased him.
Chen Song couldn't do anything to her: "Why are you here?"
Ye Jiajia smiled and said, "Of course. Why are you here? Why am I here? My partner is over there."
Chen Songshun looked over and saw a tall boy concentrating on polishing a ring.
Chen Song had met this man several times. He was a junior who had just been recruited by the Propaganda Department.
Dating is prohibited in the student union. If Ye Jiajia wanted to talk about it everywhere, she would definitely not appear in front of him to scare him. She also announced it in front of him as the chairman. Presumably, there were conditions for the relationship.
Chen Song retracted his gaze: "Tell me, what do you want."
Ye Jiajia said with a smile: "You must come to the student union team building this year!"
Chen Song narrowed his eyes and looked at her in silence for a moment: "That's it?"
Ye Jiajia nodded. "I say, you dull guy, we've worked together for three years. Even though they haven't spoken to you that often and we're not that familiar with each other, we still have to show some affection. You don't go every year."
Chen Song thought thoughtfully: "Okay, I understand. I will go."
On October 26th, Chen Song's class was full, lasting from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
He sent a message to Gu Mo in advance, telling him to come back later. As soon as the class was over, he hurried back to his home with Gu Mo. It was almost the same time as expected, and not long after he got home, the cake he had ordered arrived.
It was a chocolate ice cream cake with motorcycle elements. Chen Song took the photo of Gu Mo's motorcycle and asked several shops before he found one that could make it. It cost him around four hundred yuan, but fortunately it was made very authentically.
After Chen Song carefully placed the cake into the refrigerator, he went to the kitchen and bustled around. It took him more than two hours to cook a table full of French cuisine. He then spent another half an hour setting the table, lighting a small aromatherapy diffuser, and pouring two glasses of fruit wine. After everything was ready, he turned off all the lights in the house.
Only the incense burner in front of the dining table was burning with a warm glow. Chen Song sat at the table, smiling, and took a few photos. Then he waited for Gu Mo to come back.
This scene made Chen Song feel like it was a proposal scene in a TV drama.
He was excited and nervous at the same time; to him this was no different than a marriage proposal.
Chen Song had been writing down his feelings for Gu Mo in his diary for several days. He was now reciting them over and over again, afraid that he would let something slip and not convey his meaning to the other person. His heart was pounding with the flames.
This was not the first time he expressed his love, but it was the first time he expressed his love so directly, bravely and unhesitatingly.
He had expressed his concern and love to his father and mother, but received no response. All he got in response was indifference and scolding.
So, when he mustered up the courage to say "I love you" again, it took almost all his strength.
Chen Song waited until twelve o'clock, the calendar changed from October 26 to October 27, but Gu Mo still didn't come.
The nervousness and joy in his eyes and the smile on his face were gradually buried by endless pain as time passed.
Chen Song's breathing became disordered, and the feeling of being unable to breathe came over him again, and his palms became numb.
At 23:59 on October 26, he sent a message to Gu Mo with trembling hands:
Happy birthday
Gu Mo said he would come, he rarely lies. Something must have happened this time.
Thinking of this, he became even more worried. But he knew nothing about Gu Mo. In the vast city of Beijing, he couldn't find another person related to Gu Mo. They never interfered with each other's lives.
Chen Song had only met Gu Mo's friends once, and that was the first time Chen Song rode on the back of Gu Mo's motorcycle. His fellow riders, all wearing helmets, raced across the mountains like wild horses.
They watched the sunrise together, without saying a word, only shouting with endless joy.
Chen Song felt desolate all over his body. He stared at his phone like a madman, dialing Gu Mo's number over and over again.
He watched all this meticulous preparation numbly like a robot, his heart as if torn apart. It was like being sentenced to death for no reason, without even a chance to explain.
After another sleepless night, Chen Song felt that he was sick and couldn't sleep, so he had to get some sleeping pills.
There are not many classes on the second day, but students will be busy preparing for their defense in the afternoon.
As a manager, he also had to wear a suit when he went out. The formal black suit made him look even more tired.
As soon as the ministers entered the lecture hall, they saw the chairman's haggard face and paleness, and they were a little scared. Someone urged those who dared to speak to Chen Song to ask him.
Ye Jiajia was the first to be attacked. She leaned close to his ear and asked, "Hey, hey, hey, you're not going to quarrel, are you?"
Chen Song paused, but did not stop flipping through the documents.
Ye Jiajia looked at Chen Song's dark circles and a face that used to make her jealous, but now was so pale that it frightened her. She frowned and asked, "You haven't eaten or slept?"
Chen Song remained silent. He wanted to sleep, but couldn't. He forced himself to eat a few bites, but he really had no appetite.
"Oh my God, my dear president! I thought you were already a top-level man, is there any woman you can't handle? Of course not. If there is, let's kick her out, okay? You should go and have a rest. I'll leave this to the vice president first. If something really happens to you, it will be difficult to explain to the teacher." Ye Jiajia winked at several male ministers next to her, asking them to take him to rest first. After receiving the order, several male ministers immediately moved over here.
The vice president took the lead and said, "President, please go and rest for a while and have a meal. I'll be watching over the first half here. Take care of your health first."
"Yeah yeah."
Chen Song felt a headache after being advised. He was indeed not in a good state. Today's defense was also an important occasion. If something went wrong, no one could bear the consequences.
He suddenly felt that many people in the student union were still paying attention to his existence, so he finally agreed to let them take a rest in the next classroom and eat some of the food they brought.
