Chapter 33 You are him, then who is he? She is my best choice...
Qin Yi didn't reply. He was on a plane, the network was unstable and he was sleeping.
It was more than ten hours later when he landed and returned to his residence.
It was early morning in Singapore at that time, and Yu Han had not yet gotten up.
Qin Yi saw the message she sent, smiled, but did not reply. He only sent her a message saying that he had landed and good morning, and then went to get busy.
The two of them were destined to miss each other for the next two days. After Qin Yi registered for everything he needed for the competition, he held a meeting. He was busy and spent a lot of time. Finally, he went back to adjust to the time difference. At that time, Yu Han just got up to go to class.
She saw the message but didn't dare to reply.
So that day the two of them basically exchanged messages but didn't chat.
At nine o'clock in the evening, a shower began to fall in the suburbs of Coventry, England late at night.
The sound of the raindrops permeated the campus of Federation Warwick University.
Qin Yi stood on the balcony and watched for a while. Rio's winter wasn't too cold, and Coventry's summer wasn't too hot, only around ten degrees Celsius at night.
His new roommate stood next to him and said, "I really, really love rainy days. This weather, this natural white noise, is a natural barrier for studying, completely blocking out all the noise from the outside world. And," he smiled, "my girlfriend really loves rainy days."
Qin Yi didn't feel anything at first when he heard what he said, but suddenly he felt that he really disliked rainy days.
"I don't like this weather."
"Why?" His roommate tilted his head towards him and asked very seriously.
Qin Yi: "Before, a friend came to see me at school, and it happened to be raining, and she didn't have an umbrella."
"Oh, that's it..." He scratched his hair and said calmly, "I don't have an umbrella, so I just got wet. It's okay, right? Is it raining heavily?"
"Um."
"Well, it's nothing, just a cold."
"Something's going on."
“…”
Qin Yi thought of that day when the little princess was hiding from the rain alone under the eaves of the auditorium under the dark sky, and she said pitifully in the message: It’s better not to see you.
From then on, they had no plans to see each other...
If it hadn't rained that day, she wouldn't have met Chen Ze and the others while hiding from the rain, she wouldn't have been caught by the head teacher, she wouldn't have waited until the rain got so heavy to escape, and she wouldn't have missed seeing him in the end.
Thinking that he had not had time to reply to the question she sent him yesterday, Qin Yi stopped watching the foreign rain and went into the house.
His roommate thought he was going to sleep, so he said that he had just packed some midnight snacks and brought some for Qin Yi as well, and asked him not to go to sleep yet.
Qin Yi was not hungry, but when he turned around, he found that the midnight snack was already on the table.
"Thanks."
Qin Yi simply picked up his phone from the bedside, walked to the table, opened the noodle box and checked WeChat.
There is a seven-hour time difference between the UK and Singapore. It's already midnight where she is now, and I don't know if the little late-night expert has fallen asleep.
Looking at the person circled in the picture, Qin Yi raised the corners of his mouth. He knew that she would not recognize him but he actually circled this person.
He sent a message: "Are you asleep, Hanhan?"
Second reply: "No, no."
"It's four o'clock and you're not sleeping yet?" Qin Yi felt that he had been staying up too long. "I'm going to bed."
"Not sleepy."
Qin Yi sighed: "I'm going to sleep in class again tomorrow, so I'll just go to sleep as I'm told."
"We haven't spoken in the past two days, and you haven't replied to the message I sent you."
"Speak, speak now. Then why are you tagging this person?" He replied immediately, wanting to let her go to rest after the conversation.
The roommate sitting across from him glanced at his phone screen and asked, "Talking to your girlfriend."
Qin Yi nodded.
My roommate was very curious: "You still have time to chat at this time."
Qin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up the noodles and asked slowly: "What's going on tonight?"
“…”
The other party laughed dryly, "You don't feel any pressure?"
Qin Yi suddenly realized: "Not bad." He was not so arrogant and said meaningless words for fear of putting pressure on others.
He simply said, "If you wait until now to apply pressure, it will be useless."
"That's right." His words made the other party feel a lot more relaxed, and the noodles smelled much better.
"I haven't contacted my girlfriend since I went abroad."
Qin Yi thought he was pretty cool. He didn't even need to contact her. If he didn't contact her, he would die of boredom outside.
His simple and boring high school life in the past few years was all sustained by his lovely baby Han, and it was even more so now.
A new message popped up on the phone - a life-saving message.
Yu Han: "Is this you?"
Qin translated: “No.”
Yu Han: "Of course it is!!!"
Qin Yi: "..." The corners of his mouth curled up wildly, "It's really not."
Yu Han didn't reply for a while, so Qin Yi put down his phone and ate his noodles seriously.
The classmate opposite him asked him, "Which school does your girlfriend go to? Is she also from Lanzhong like you?"
Qin Yi shook his head: "She is abroad."
"Oh, from abroad. So she's as good at studying as you are?"
Qin Yi nodded.
Yu Han's message came in on the phone again.
The little princess was a little frustrated by his denial: "If this isn't yours, then which one is it???"
Qin Yi held the chopsticks in one hand and typed calmly with the other: "There are twelve people in the photo, baby."
Yu Han replied without hesitation: "This one is the most handsome."
Qin Yi: “…” He narrowed his eyes. What??? The most handsome???
The rain was getting heavier, and the sound of the rain filled the not-so-spacious university dormitory, their temporary resting place.
My roommate Tong Zhe got up to close the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony.
"The wind is so strong that the quilt is about to get wet. I thought it was a nice British summer, but now this happens in the middle of the night."
Qin Yi glanced at his figure, turned back to look at the last text on the phone, and then looked at the boy in black clothes who was circled by her.
That really wasn't him. That was from the No. 2 Middle School next door. The two of them knew each other. He was the son of one of his stepfather's partners. They had met once or twice before and had a good relationship. Then at the beginning of the year, the two schools played a friendly match and they happened to be grouped together to play.
This person's name is Zhou Song.
Qin Yi was thinking about how to respond... If he denied that the other person was the most handsome, he would be indirectly exposing that he was the other one, which would be no different from committing suicide on the spot.
But if I don't tell her, she's completely recognized the wrong person, which is not appropriate.
He could only ask, "The most handsome? Are you attracted to it?"
Yu Han answered without hesitation and very frankly: "Yes, I am obsessed with looks."
Qin Yi was confused. Did he really like her?
He racked his brains for how to respond, but it was over. This was more brain-burning than participating in this kind of international competition.
If you lose a game, you won't die, but if you say something wrong, everything will go to waste.
The roommate who had returned asked him in a friendly manner, "Did you two have a fight?"
"..." Qin Yi raised his head, glanced at the person, and shook his head calmly, "No."
He picked up his phone and replied: "Look at the one across from you, the one holding the phone, isn't he pretty too? Why don't you have a face problem?"
The moment Yu Han received the message, she felt inexplicably embarrassed: "Uh, this person, um, I've seen this person before."
Qin Yi: “?”
Yu Han knelt on her bed late at night, holding her phone and reverently replied to someone far away in England: "I really saw him. Do you know his name?"
"have no idea."
"I don't know, forget it. But this definitely isn't you. So if we rule him out, the only one left is the one in black."
Qin Yi finished a mouthful of noodles and turned his head to look at his phone screen. Seeing this, he was confused: "Why are there only people in black clothes left?"
Yu Han: "These two are the most handsome."
Qin Yi: "Do you think these two are equally matched?"
Yu Han: "Yes, yes, they all look amazing, like big stars."
Qin Yi felt a little jealous: "I'm reminding you, baby."
Yu Han: “Hmm?”
Qin Yi: "There is me in this photo, but it's only me. Stop praising others all the time."
"Wow, you're still jealous."
“…”
"If you have the time to be jealous, why not just post your own personal photo? You didn't tell me the truth, but instead posted a group photo to confuse me and trick everyone into finding fault. What can I do? Besides, the facts are there, both of them are good-looking."
"I wanted to send it before but you refused." He felt wronged.
Yu Han: "Then why are you posting the photo now?"
"I'll give it to you to play with. I'm busy lately, so I'll give you some time to kill."
"..." Yu Han buried her head in her pillow and pounded the bed, laughing. So that's it! He didn't think she'd figure out who he was even after studying until the end of the month when he returned home, did she?
She said, "You miscalculated. I don't need to study. I know who you are at a glance."
Isn't that the end of everything? The research is wrong.
Qin Yi didn't even bother eating his noodles. He held onto his phone and tried to save the situation. "Don't be so sure, baby. What if I'm not one of them?"
"That's it."
“…”
"The rest of the students, well, although they're all good-looking, they're not my type."
“…”
Yu Han carefully analyzed each one for him.
"Look at those students sitting on the ground next to Shen Ze. They are all very sunny, but I don't really like sunny and bright athletes."
“…” He glanced at himself. What type was he?
Yu Han: "There's a good-looking boy in the middle, but he looks so cold, and I don't like that kind of coldness."
“…”
Qin Yi glanced at the cold-faced man she was talking about. Really? Maybe that guy just doesn’t like taking pictures. He is usually a nice person. They are in the same class and are very familiar with each other.
Qin Yi asked slowly, "If I'm really one of them, I'm really done for."
"You won't be, don't worry."
“…”
Qin Yi almost died of laughter.
She actually comforted him and told him that he was not those people. How could this little ancestor be so cute.
Yu Han said, "Everyone in your school talks about you like a superstar. The only two people here who truly deserve that kind of praise are those two." She said reassuringly, "So it's okay. Don't worry. I'm relieved too."
“…” Qin Yi couldn’t help laughing.
Yu Han: "You are the one in black, right? Admit it now."
Qin translated: “No.”
Yu Han: "You admitted that I sleep well, QAQ, happy cooperation."
Qin Yi smiled, then said, "No, baby."
Yu Han was angry: "Humph, okay, I won't talk to you anymore, you big liar. Go and do your work. I won't disturb you, a busy man."
Qin Yi sighed helplessly, because he was telling the truth.
He typed tentatively: "Hanhan, what if I were the other one?"
She didn't understand: "What?"
Qin Yi: "The one with the cell phone."
Yu Han laughed outright: "That's impossible, I've already ruled it out. You don't know the person, but I do."
Qin Yi: "Maybe."
"Are you crazy? If you are him, then who is he?"
“…”
Yu Han was a little excited because she had strongly suspected before and felt that there were many similarities between them, but in the end the other person used a completely stranger to add her on WeChat.
She completely gave up.
Yu Han felt like she had been offended and asked him, "Why are you saying such inexplicable things?"
Qin Yi: "No, I'm just kidding. You guess it yourself, ok?"
"Hmph, bye, I'm going to sleep now. I won't guess anymore. I'll leave it to fate."
“…”
Qin Yi chuckled.
He pressed the voicemail and spoke: "Anyway, you really should go to bed now. It's almost dawn. Good night, baby."
"Good night~" She sent back a very sweet reply, which was not at all like the ruthlessness of the previous second.
Very easy to coax.
It was easy to coax her, but even after putting down her phone for a long time, Yu Han couldn't fall asleep. She could only look through the rare chat records between the two of them recently and savor them happily.
As she flipped through the pages and saw the last few entries, she squinted her eyes, feeling confused.
But why did he say out of the blue, maybe it was this person?
She recalled the thing that she had not doubted for a long time.
In the past, it was that person who made her think that he might be Qin Yi, but now, now, this person took the initiative to say that it might be him.
That's ridiculous.
But then she thought of another point. That person was so handsome, but Qin Yi was the only famous one in the school. Was it really just because Qin Yi was the top student in the grade that she had never heard Shen Man and the others mention the other person?
I always feel that it is not quite reasonable.
So, could it be that the two people are actually the same person? So the one that Chen Man and the others usually see is actually Jin, the one they praise to the sky is Jin.
Yu Han was completely bewildered... She began to mutter to herself, "No way, no way, no way! This is just Qin Yi teasing her. Handsome men are all alike. They just have similar voices, that's all! There's nothing else to prove they're alike."
Qin Yi is the one wearing black in the photo, that must be him.
Classmate Jin couldn't be him. If he was... then he wanted to die, right? He'd been online for a few years and didn't want to develop offline. He wanted to go his separate ways after graduation. He wanted to be beaten to death by her.
Yu Han opened their photo again and looked at the one in black instead of the one holding the phone.
"It must be this! That bad guy Qin Yi is deliberately confusing me! He just loves to tease me! It's not like we've known each other for a long time!!"
…
Over there, a guy in England had just put down his phone after coaxing his girlfriend when his roommate across from him said with emotion, "No wonder you've been so sunny and bright for so many days abroad, while others seem so lifeless."
Qin Yi: “…”
"I heard from the professor that you just came here after attending the IMO in Rio. You're so relaxed after all the hassles you've gone through. It really is different when you have someone by your side."
Qin Yi felt that what he said made a lot of sense and had no way to refute it.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
His roommate was probably bored and was very interested in his story: "So, is your girlfriend going to the same university as you?"
Qin Yi: “Not sure.”
Tong Zhe: "Which school do you want to choose? You must be going to Taipei City, right? Chengbei University or Nanjing University?"
Qin Yi would not go and had never considered it. Although his sister had settled there, it was far from home for him to study there, and his grandparents would only be able to see him once every few months.
It would be better for him to go directly to Singapore instead of studying in Taipei. His parents would then take his grandparents over and the whole family would be together outside. When his sister stops filming, she can fly directly to Singapore without having to go back to Lanzhou. Wouldn't that be perfect? It would also save his grandparents from having to go to Singapore during the Spring Festival.
Either go to the National University of Singapore to study medicine with Yu Han, or go to Lan City to study medicine.
His roommate thought he could definitely go to Taipei City. "It would be a waste to go to any other school. You have to choose the best one. The best university in Lan City is Lan University, but Lan University is in the top three. You can get into the top one."
Qin Yi ate his noodles slowly and calmly: "Not sure, let's wait and see."
"What major do you want to study?" His roommate seemed particularly interested in his choice.
Qin Yi: "Not yet decided."
"Not only have you not decided on a school, you haven't decided on a major either." The roommate was surprised and asked, "Don't you have a major you like?"
"No."
"Then choose your strengths. You should major in mathematics. You're amazing at math, the best I know."
Qin Yi shook his head: "No idea."
"Why?" He was extremely surprised, feeling that someone was trampling on his talent.
Qin's translation: "Boring."
"Ah?" The roommate thought for a moment, "Why don't you study biology? You've already participated in the competition, and you're such a great student at biology, so you can study this as well."
"No idea."
"Huh? You have no idea about this. Why?"
"dull."
"..." His roommates were all stunned. "You don't like the boring life of scientific research? Then you, are you studying physics? I heard you're pretty good at physics, so physics shouldn't be boring, right? It's very interesting."
"dull."
“…”
His roommate, chopping his chopsticks and not even eating his noodles, stared at him in despair and asked, "If you don't like anything, then why are you so good at everything? You're the best at everything?"
Qin Yi looked up and said calmly, "Because I don't know what I like, I try them all."
“…”
To avoid further questioning from his roommate, Qin Yi proactively said, "I won't study biology, but I might choose a biology-related major."
"Biology-related?" His eyes suddenly lit up. "Medicine?"
Qin Yi asked back: "What about you? What are you reading?"
"I, I'm interested in medicine."
Qin Yi raised his eyebrows: "Doing scientific research."
"I can't do scientific research; it's too boring. You're more suitable because you'll probably win a prize in the Biology Olympiad. You'd be even better. I think you could become a doctor," he said excitedly. "If you could study medicine, that would be fantastic. Qin Yi, we'd have a lot to talk about in the future. I can even ask you questions."
Qin Yi stared intently at this random person who had just met and was now living in the same dormitory as him because of a competition, and thought that maybe, maybe, they would still be roommates in the future...
At the very least, we are alumni.
…
The trip to England lasted longer than the one to Rio; he arrived earlier and left later. Qin Yi was still bored every day.
After much hardship, he finally made it to the 30th, and the awards ceremony and closing ceremony were over. The next day, he was ready to return home without looking back.
The friend he lived with asked him to stay for a few more days before leaving, saying that it was a rare opportunity for him to come.
This was not Qin Yi's first time in the UK, but he had no intention of staying. This poor place had a seven-hour time difference from Singapore. He and Yu Han hadn't made many phone calls in the past half month since he was abroad.
He didn't know how the other party could stay in the UK. He hadn't contacted his girlfriend for more than ten days, and she didn't run away immediately after the relationship was over.
But if you say that he doesn't care, he will prepare a gift for his girlfriend.
Anyway, he doesn't care about others. His top priority is to return home and go to school. The school will definitely look for him since he won the award after all.
It really took up a lot of time, so the next second after he finished his school work, he immediately rushed to Singapore to give the little princess a super surprise.
At noon on the 31st, while waiting to board the plane at London Airport, the professor from Lanzhou University who led the team to the competition asked him, "Are you looking at the questions, Qin Yi?" His tone was very kind.
Qin Yi: "Book a plane ticket."
"Huh?" the professor was confused. "What tickets? Haven't our tickets already been arranged? We're boarding soon."
Qin Yi: "Buy a plane ticket to see my girlfriend."
professor:"……"
He silently reached into his chest pocket, put on his reading glasses, and tilted his head to take a closer look. Sure enough, the page on his phone displayed the page for purchasing international flights, not some weird document...
"How come you guys all have girlfriends? I remember that Tong Zhe, he even brought a gift for his girlfriend."
"Um."
"You brought it too?"
"I sent it back, otherwise it would be overweight."
“…”
The professor was quiet for a while before he said, "When you return to China, please come to Lan University. I want to talk to you, Qin Yi."
"I can't go to Lanzhou University, professor, so you can forget about it." He stared at the ticket purchase page on his mobile phone and spoke concisely.
"..." The professor put his arm around his shoulders and spoke earnestly, "I'm telling you, medicine isn't your best choice. You have so many other options. Think twice, Qin Yi. Listen to me, come to Lanzhou University. You've got the money, the environment, the renowned faculty, the world-class research environment, and the endless annual funding from alumni. Do you know how shabby the medical school is? Their dormitories don't even have air conditioning. It's 2017, and they still treat their students this way. I'm truly astonished."
“…” Qin Yi laughed.
The professor patted his shoulder and said, "You're right to listen to me. Since you're from Lan City, Lan University is your best choice."
"She's my best choice."
"who?"
"girlfriend."
"..." The professor took a deep breath. "So you're here for your girlfriend. Where is this kid studying? How about you come to Lanzhou University and recruit her?"
"No need, she's very talented and can go to the National University of Singapore."
"..." Facing this Asia's top university, the professor was silent for a few seconds, curious, "Is it true?"
Qin Yi finally tilted his head and met the professor's suspicious eyes: "For someone like me, do you think my girlfriend would be bad?"
The professor laughed dryly, "But the environment at the Medical University is really bad. They don't have air conditioning, Qin Yi."
“…”
"You must think twice. Anyway, I'm waiting for you."
…
Professor, you just lied to Qin Yi. Actually, the air conditioner in Lan University's dormitory was donated by Mr. Si, otherwise you wouldn't have air conditioner now.
