Chapter 105
Instructor He's face was not looking good, and Guan Yuping's face was not much better.
When their eyes met, Qin Xiang smiled politely, and Instructor He looked away with a cold face.
Guan Yuping beside him also noticed it and looked up, "Qin Xiang, what a coincidence."
Qin Xiang was a little surprised. She didn't expect that they hadn't talked much for a week, and Guan Yuping actually knew her name. She smiled, "Yes, what a coincidence, I have already bought everything, you guys take your time shopping."
After saying that, Qin Xiang went down quickly, but Guan Yuping also caught up with her, "We are roommates, since we meet, let's go back together."
Qin Xiang was a little confused, and looked back at Instructor He, Instructor He's face was still cold, so she nodded apologetically and went down.
When they got downstairs, Guan Yuping let go of Qin Xiang's arm and said stiffly, "Thank you."
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Didn't you say that we are roommates and should go back together?"
Guan Yuping hummed.
"But I have other things to do now and need to walk around here. Will you come with me or go back to school by yourself?" Qin Xiang looked at Guan Yuping, waiting for her answer.
This place is not far from the school, so Qin Xiang thought that given their relationship, Guan Yuping would go back to school directly.
As a result, Guan Yuping said, "Then I will go shopping with you."
Qin Xiang was indifferent and nodded, "Let's go."
She came out not only to buy things, but also to see if there are any suitable storefronts in the university town, and strive to buy them. If not, she will rent them for a long time.
As for the courtyard house, it is estimated that it is not easy to buy, and she will have to ask around slowly.
Qin Xiang didn't care about Guan Yuping anymore. She followed along the main road and looked around when she saw a vacant store. If she came across a clothing store, she would go in to see the style and fabric of the clothes, and even try them on. If she liked something, she would buy it directly.
She walked and stopped, which took a lot of time.
She was thinking about something and had no time to pay attention to Guan Yuping. After walking with her for more than half an hour, Guan Yuping couldn't help but asked, "Don't you think it's a waste of time to wander around the street?"
Qin Xiang was stunned. "Then how do you think it's not a waste of time?" Guan
Yuping said, "Of course I have to go back to study."
Qin Xiang laughed, "Then I have a different point of view from you. Your point of view is to use all the time to learn the knowledge in books. But I think learning is not only about learning the knowledge in books. The knowledge in books is based on intelligence, and the truth can only be found in social practice. Some knowledge learned from books is ultimately superficial. How can we distinguish the truth without going out? Moreover, we are majoring in fashion design, and we have to go out to learn. If you don't do academic research and don't come out to see, but just study books, do you know what kind of clothes are popular now? Do you know what kind of clothes the public likes? "
She pointed to the storefronts on the street and said, "There are also many storefronts selling clothes here, and many of them are imported from Guangzhou. But the goods are all imported from the same place, even if the style is the same, the quality and price may be different. Don't you think this is what students of our major should understand? If you don't come out to see, do you know what kind of material is more comfortable? "
Although she has not taken a systematic professional course in fashion design, she has been working hard in society for so many years, and she knows all the principles she should know.
She understands Guan Yuping's thoughts. This is a pure academic bully.
But she doesn't understand why Guan Yuping chose such a major.
Guan Yuping blushed a little, perhaps because she saw her doubts. "I just randomly applied for a major out of spite."
Qin Xiang was speechless. "Can you just randomly apply for this kind of thing? At least you have to like these majors, otherwise you may have to work in them for the rest of your life."
Guan Yuping sighed. "But I'm not allowed to study the one I like. Besides, it doesn't seem to make any difference which one I study."
Seeing her like this, I knew there was something going on.
However, Qin Xiang didn't want to ask.
She nodded and said, "Since you've already chosen it, then give it a try. If you really can't stick to it, then apply to change your major."
Qin Xiang was very busy herself, so she didn't have the time to be a caring big sister. After she finished speaking, she continued to stroll around.
This area seems to have formed a circle around the surrounding universities. There are still a few shops selling clothes. After all, the capital is too far away from Guangzhou. Most of the shops are doing snack business, and there are also some shops selling small miscellaneous items. Qin Xiang walked down and found that
there were not many clothing shops that she could enter. She didn't see many satisfactory ones. Most of the clothes came from clothing factories in the capital, and the brands were similar to those in department stores. Qin Xiang felt a little regretful. However, she also saw two suitable locations for storefronts. She went to ask, but couldn't find the landlord, so she had to give up for the time being. In a place as big as the capital, is it still a problem to find a suitable storefront? Seeing that Guan Yuping was in a bad mood and Qin Xiang was tired, she said, "I'm going to have lunch, are you going?" Guan Yuping nodded, "Yes." She paused, "Thank you for today, I'll treat you to lunch." Hearing this, Qin Xiang looked at her twice more, thinking that this girl was fine, what did she do for her, so polite. And she was different from the way she always sneered at people in the dormitory. It was strange. The two of them went to a snack bar nearby. Qin Xiang saw Guan Yuping frowning as she looked around, so she asked, "Are you not used to it?" Guan Yuping nodded, "I've never been to such a place to eat." Qin Xiang smiled, "It's delicious." As for hygiene, it's hard to say. But why do people have to consider so much when they want to eat? Qin Xiang ordered two dishes and asked Guan Yuping what she wanted to eat. She would pay. Guan Yuping pursed her lips and said, "Anything is fine." Qin Xiang then ordered another serving of mutton dumplings. While waiting for the dishes, she did not mention what happened in the department store. But Guan Yuping could not hold it back any longer. "Aren't you curious about what happened between me and Instructor He?" Qin Xiang glanced at her and said, "That's your business. It has nothing to do with me."
Guan Yuping looked at her a few more times after hearing this. Maybe it was because she had been holding it in too much this week or what, but Guan Yuping really wanted to say, "Instructor He's father and my father were comrades-in-arms. We used to joke that if we had children of similar ages, we would arrange a marriage for them."
Qin Xiang was not surprised, as there are many such cases these days.
She didn't ask, Guan Yuping pursed her lips and continued, "I actually have an older sister who is three years older than me, a few years younger than Instructor He, and the elders of both families were very happy, so they arranged a marriage for the two of them. He and my sister grew up together, but three years ago my sister went abroad to study at public expense, and she met a man there, and they got married secretly without telling anyone. My parents felt sorry for the He family, so they asked me to fulfill the marriage contract with the He family."
Qin Xiang: "...It's really bloody."
"Yeah, I also think it's outrageous. I'm only eighteen this year, nine years younger than He Chenghua. Although we both grew up in the compound, he has been in the army for ten years, and I was just in elementary school when he was in the army. The people and friends I come into contact with are completely different from him. I don't like him at all, so how can I be with him?"
When Guan Yuping said this, tears fell, "But no one cared what I thought, they just knew that I couldn't cut off contact with the He family, saying that our Guan family is no longer the same as before."
Qin Xiang didn't know how to comfort her, "Then have you told Instructor He?"
"I did." Guan Yuping seemed to feel ashamed to cry. She wiped her tears and sighed, "In fact, I can see that he doesn't like me either. He was forced to come out by his family. I even think that he doesn't like my sister. They have never been together before. After all, He Chenghua has been in the army. Otherwise, my sister wouldn't have found a partner and got married so quickly."
Qin Xiang didn't know what to say. The relationship was completely one-sided. The eldest daughter was
no longer a good choice, so the younger daughter was the only one to choose.
Isn't this just like the ancient big families? If one daughter is not suitable, another one will be replaced.
Fortunately, this is not a feudal society.
Qin Xiang persuaded, "I think the most important thing is your attitude and that of Instructor He. If you two are determined not to obey, the two families can't do anything to you."
Guan Yuping nodded, "I know."
She understood, and Qin Xiang didn't say anything. Just at this time, the food came up, and Qin Xiang greeted, "Come, eat. When you are full, you won't think about other things. If you are not full, you don't have the energy to think." Guan
Yuping took the chopsticks and took a bite. She was a little surprised, "It tastes good."
Qin Xiang also tasted it. It was indeed good. The chef had some skills.
The vegetables and dumplings tasted good. I don't know if it was because of turning grief and anger into strength, Guan Yuping ate a lot.
After finishing the meal, Guan Yuping felt embarrassed again, "I've made you laugh."
"What kind of joke is this? I've seen so many things." Qin Xiang stood up, suddenly stopped, and laughed, "Speak of the devil."
The person standing at the door was Instructor He.
Guan Yuping's face fell immediately, and she walked over to He Chenghua and said, "I don't like men who are so much older than me, I won't marry you."
He Chenghua's eyes fell on her face for a moment and then passed by lightly, glancing at Qin Xiang, "Same here."
After saying that, he turned around and left, as if there was some kind of monster in this store.
Guan Yuping heaved a sigh of relief and said to Qin Xiang, "Let's go back."
Perhaps because she was full, Guan Yuping was no longer excited. Her face became stiff again, and she looked a little bit like a cold and arrogant academic master. "Thank you for today."
Qin Xiang waved her hands, unrestrained and cruel.
Guan Yuping couldn't help but say, "Why do you have to make trouble with them?"
This was referring to the other people in the dormitory.
Qin Xiang couldn't help but look at her, "Why can't you make trouble?"
"It's a waste of time."
Qin Xiang shook her head, "This is a normal interpersonal relationship. People can't live in their own world forever. In fact, I think you are more suitable for research, not for learning fashion design."
Designing clothing is not just about designing. At least you have to keep in touch with the current situation, and when necessary, you have to go out to investigate the market and see what the market needs. Fashion design is an art, but this kind of art cannot be separated from the most fundamental purpose, which is to make money.
Qin Xiang went straight to the front after he finished speaking. Guan Yuping seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly ran after him, "So our profession cannot avoid dealing with people?"
Qin Xiang nodded.
Guan Yuping asked again, "Do we need to investigate the market?"
"What else do you need?"
"Aren't you from the countryside? How do you know so much?"
Qin Xiang stopped and looked at the girl who suddenly asked endless questions, "You have so many questions."
Guan Yuping was a little embarrassed, "I really didn't check what kind of major this is before I came here."
Qin Xiang had a headache, "Then I suggest you check it out before the class starts, or go back and look at the textbooks, haven't the books been distributed? If you find that you don't like it, apply to change your major as soon as possible. I heard that you are the top science student in the capital, so it should be no problem to change your major."
"I know." Guan Yuping looked a little pitiful.
Qin Xiang was too embarrassed to say it.
It seems that the cold and aloof personality this girl puts on in the dormitory every day is all a lie. Look at what she said, she is just a child.
Too childish.
The two of them arrived at school and returned to the dormitory together, shocking everyone waiting.
Meilin glanced back and forth, and finally shook her head and left.
Bei Nannan came over while Guan Yuping went out to fetch water, "Why did you and her come back together?"
Qin Xiang didn't even raise her head, "Isn't it okay if we just bumped into each other?"
"It's not a random chance. I saw you two very close to each other from the window just now. She usually doesn't let people get close to her." Bei Nannan looked at her scrutinizingly, "Are you in the same group with her?"
Qin Xiang looked up at Bei Nannan and asked back, "We are classmates in the same dormitory. Why do you have to use the word "group"? If we want to say a group, our entire dormitory and class are a group. Do we have to divide them into groups? Is that friendship?"
Bei Nannan was a little surprised, "I just said it casually, why do you have to take it seriously?"
Qin Xiang lowered his head and glanced at the textbooks distributed two days ago, and continued to organize them.
Bei Nannan didn't get a response, so she asked again, "You know the two men this morning, right?"
Qin Xiang nodded, "Yes, I know them both. I said one is a friend and the other is an alumnus. They knew I was studying here, so they came to see me. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Everyone has a curious heart, but there are not many people who are as inquisitive as Bei Nannan.
Bei Nannan shook her head, "There's nothing wrong, I just think you're amazing."
Qin Xiang didn't say anything, and Bei Nannan was bored, so she turned around, took the washbasin and went out to wash clothes.
As soon as she left, Meilin rolled her eyes, "Don't pay attention to her. She said bad things about you in the dormitory as soon as you left today."
Qin Xiang knew what Bei Nannan would say without asking, "Don't pay attention to her."
Meilin hummed, "But those two were quite handsome this morning, is one of them your partner?"
Qin Xiang shook her head, "Neither one."
Meilin regretted, "They are both so outstanding and yet neither of them is your partner." She clasped her hands together and said, "If I were prettier, I would definitely pursue them."
"You are also very beautiful." Qin Xiang looked at Meilin's slightly dark face, "Look, your eyes are big and round, and you look very energetic. Your lips are sexy and plump, and your facial features are pretty. As for your skin... I think if you cover it up, maybe it will become whiter?"
"That's enough." Meilin envied Qin Xiang's good looks and good figure, but she didn't think she was worse than others. She said excitedly that she had to find a partner during college so that her college education would not be in vain.
Qin Xiang raised her thumb and said, "You are ambitious."
Meilin asked, "What about you? What are your plans for college?"
Qin Xiang answered without thinking, "Learn professional knowledge to enrich myself, and then make money."
Meilin was shocked, "The country will assign jobs to us after graduation."
Qin Xiang shook her head, "I don't need the country to assign a job."
After that, she began to read the textbook. Some of the knowledge in the current textbooks is indeed outdated, but it is enough to learn basic knowledge.
Seeing Qin Xiang busy, Meilin did not disturb her, but she felt that this girl was amazing just looking at Qin Xiang. For example, she came to college just to wait for the country to assign a job when she graduated, and it would be best if she could stay in the capital and settle down here, and never have to go back to the fishing village to be exposed to the wind and sun.
Then Meilin thought about it again, everyone has their own aspirations, maybe Qin Xiang just has the ability to not need a job assigned by the country.
In the evening, Qin Xiang also went to wash clothes and take a shower, and came back to have dinner in the cafeteria with others.
It was dinner time, and there were people everywhere, so the dining table seemed insufficient. Qin Xiang and others looked around with their plates, and suddenly Meilin said, "There is only one person over there."
But the man was wearing army green, and many people looked over there, but no one went over to sit down.
Bei Nannan was eager to go, "Let's go over there, it's hard to find another place."
She went over directly. Guan Yuping frowned and whispered to Qin Xiang, "It seems to be He Chenghua."
That's Instructor He.
But Bei Nannan had already gone over and sat down, so Qin Xiang and others couldn't follow.
Instructor He had almost finished eating, so he looked up at them, got up, took the meal tray and left.
Bei Nannan said regretfully, "Why did he leave so soon?"
No one else said anything. Dingxiang was worried that Bei Nannan would be embarrassed, so she took the initiative to answer, "He finished eating, so he left."
Bei Nannan said nothing, "Our instructor He is too cold, because he caused me to be complained by others for so long."
"That's because you are looking for trouble." Meilin rolled her eyes, "Eat, eat."
Bei Nannan was bored and her eyes fell on Guan Yuping, "It's really strange that you are willing to eat with us."
Guan Yuping ignored her, and Bei Nannan said, "What's your attitude? Why are you eating with us like this?"
Qin Xiang was speechless, "Bei Nannan, is the food not delicious?"
Bei Nannan was stunned, "It's delicious."
Finally shut up.
The world was quiet.
After eating a few bites, I went back to the dormitory building and saw a familiar tall and thin man walking back and forth under the tree.
Because he was handsome, many girls looked at him.
Qin Xiang said to Meilin and the others, "My friend came to see me, I went to ask what's the matter."
Meilin immediately started to make a noise, "Go ahead."
Qin Xiang laughed helplessly and went over, "Jie Zong."
Jie Zong looked up, a faint smile appeared on his cold face, "Have you eaten? If not, I'll treat you..."
"Just came back from eating." Qin Xiang saw too many eyes looking at him, so he said, "Let's go, let's walk around the campus together."
To be honest, from the beginning of the school to now, except for a general look that day, I really haven't walked around much.
Jie Zong was a little happy, "Okay."
The two walked towards the school lake. The pedestrians around them were all young students. This was the first time the two were alone together. Jie Zong was a little nervous.
