Chapter 194 Are You Sister Xiaohe’s Boyfriend?
He Jing was also hearing this explanation for the first time and was very curious. "This is a good name. It means nourishment, growth, and hope."
"Yeah, that's how my mom explained it."
Chen Shuang was shocked. She thought it was just ordinary rain, but she didn't expect it could have such an explanation. "What about your name? Why is it He Jing? It doesn't sound like a girl's name."
"When I was little, I grew up in an orphanage. There were so many other children, so the director let us pick our own. The teacher told me that 禾 means food, and I just wanted to have enough food, so I chose 禾."
Gu Yu handed her a lollipop, and her grape-sized eyes twinkled with curiosity.
Chen Shuang knew that He Jing came from an orphanage, but she didn't know much about it. This was the first time she heard her mention it, so she asked curiously, "What about Jing?"
He Jing stuffed the lollipop into his mouth, squinted his eyes, and smiled. "I chose the stem of the rhizome. What can a six or seven-year-old know? I just heard the teacher say that rhizomes have strong growth power. As long as the rhizome is left, there is still a possibility of taking root and sprouting."
Chen Shuang: “…”
"But the director's aunt strongly objected, and I really liked it, so in the end we both compromised and changed it to a scene."
Chen Shuang smiled and said, "When you grew up, did you thank the dean for changing your name?"
He Jing was silent for a few seconds, shook his head, and changed the subject, "Would you like to join us at noon?"
"No, no!" Chen Shuang waved her hands repeatedly. "Your General Gu is truly awe-inspiring without even getting angry. Only you think he's affable."
As they walked, they soon saw Gu Zheng's aircraft parked at the school gate. "Really not going together?"
"Really! Let's go~"
On the aircraft, Xiao Wu stood behind Gu Zheng. When he saw the two people coming, he waved.
"What are you guys talking about?"
"His career plan." Gu Zheng replied calmly, taking the backpack from her hand. "What were you talking about on the way? You looked very happy."
"As for the origin of the name, Xiaoyu means rain that nourishes all things and makes them grow. Did you know that?"
Gu Zheng nodded, "My aunt and I picked it together."
Um? !
He Jing was really shocked now. Gu Yu seemed unaware of it, and looked very happy with bright eyes.
Gu Zheng smiled and looked at He Jing, "What about you? Did you choose your name yourself?"
"Hmm~" He Jing repeated the origin of the name and chuckled to himself, "Fortunately it's not the stem of the rhizome."
"Well, the meaning is very good. Food is the foundation of the people. Cereals are the staple food that humans rely on for survival. Their vigorous vitality and tenacious growth are just like you."
He Jing: Huh? Am I energetic?
"The original meaning of 'jing' is sunlight and brightness, a symbol of warmth and beauty. 'Hejing' means living in accordance with the will of heaven and the seasons, facing the sun."
He Jing was stunned for a moment. The dean's aunt graduated from the Chinese department. Did she know what this name meant?
"I think I know how to explain my name from now on."
"Yeah." Gu Zheng's eyes were gentle and he rubbed her cheek.
The lunch was delicious. Not only did we have Gu Yudian’s grilled fish, but we also had the stir-fried pork ribs that I had eaten at my uncle’s house!
"Oh my god?! When did you learn that?"
"How was it before I left my uncle's place?"
“Great! Awesome!!”
He Jing picked up a piece for him and another for Gu Yu, "Try it, it's super delicious!"
"By the way, are you fully recovered now?"
"Well, sort of. Shijiu said I recovered well."
"That's good. My friend just told me that you are the first place this year! Our Xiaoyu is so amazing~" He Jing held her little face and rubbed it. Hmm, it felt so good, so soft and tender. No wonder Chen Shuang was so cute that she was screaming!
"Was the gentleman still with you at that time?"
Gu Yu shook her head and glanced at Gu Zheng, "He has a job now, and he spends his time with me outside of work."
Gu Zheng nodded and said crisply, "Shijiu has now joined the Northwest Research Institute."
"That's great. He's so talented, he's sure to achieve something!"
Gu Zheng didn't comment and asked, "Do you have classes this afternoon?"
He Jing pursed her lips and said, "It starts at... two o'clock."
Gu Zheng nodded and looked at Gu Yu, "Where's Xiaoyu?"
"It's also two o'clock." Gu Yu looked at this and that and blurted out, "Are you Sister Xiaohe's boyfriend?"
Thunder struck out of nowhere, and He Jing started coughing madly.
While helping her to smooth her back, Gu Zheng said "hmm" calmly.
He Jing's eyes welled up with tears. She thought, is it so obvious?! Even Xiaoyu can see it?
They didn't do anything?
What happened this year? Xiaoyu has completely changed and can see through other people's relationships at a glance.
"That's great. I wish you happiness."
Gu Zheng said seriously, "Thank you."
He Jing had recovered by now, his face flushed from coughing. He looked at Gu Yu and asked sheepishly, "How did you figure that out?"
"It feels like." Gu Yu's eyes curved, "Pink bubbles are popping up."
…
After a simple lunch, the two people who were going to school took a nap on the sofa. He Jing felt as if his hand was being held gently and softly, and it seemed so vague and unreal.
A soft and gentle voice came to his ears, and He Jing regained consciousness for a few seconds, "Xiao He Jie, can I come to play with you later?"
It must have been a response. He Jing murmured a "hmm" and then fell asleep again.
Gu Yu pursed her lips and smiled happily, then carefully leaned against He Jing's shoulder and closed her eyes.
Time flies when people are happy. In the next two years, the experiment led by He Jing made a breakthrough. At the same time, through research, it was found that there is an extremely stable trace element in tea. Long-term consumption has a good stabilizing effect on mental strength. In his junior year, he published a paper on this project in a top federal journal.
Tea became famous overnight, and Qi Chaoli's tea tree planet instantly became the most popular travel destination in the entire federation.
He Jing and Qi Chaoli completed their undergraduate courses ahead of schedule, and also completed the publication tasks of three ordinary journals and one top journal, skipping their senior year and directly entering the first year of graduate school.
For Hejing, nothing much has changed. Why? Because Zhou Shulin is still the supervisor for the master's program.
The exploration and research of tea is still in its pioneering stage, but Zhou Shulin has been completely obsessed with it. Every time he sees He Jing, his eyes light up like a cat seeing a mouse!
With deeper and deeper research, Zhou Shulin has completely understood He Jing's persistence in it. Every time he is deeply moved, he will sigh: Xiao He, the people of the Federation are lucky to have you!
In the past two years, Gu Zheng came back almost every month, mostly because of various military meetings and activities. The two didn't spend much time together, but their feelings were very deep.
Every time Gu Zheng came, he would bring a bouquet of flowers, then stand in front of He Jing and say affectionately and solemnly, "I love you, He He."
He Jing took the flowers gently and said to him, "I love you too."
