◎ "Brother Song, are you busy?"◎
In Building 5 of S University Student Apartment, Qi Wangzhou was alone in the dormitory.
Exactly one week has passed since Xu Yingxi broke up with me.
During these seven days, he said both good and bad things.
He had accused her harshly, saying that she ignored all his efforts and denied everything he had done because of a small matter.
I also apologized to her without caring about my dignity, saying that I had completely broken up with the blind date and promised that I would never do it again.
But no matter whether they approached softly or hard, Xu Yingxi had the same attitude: there was no chance of reconciliation.
Qi Wangzhou thought, maybe he should give her some time to calm down.
Maybe after a few days of separation, she would calm down and be able to think more clearly about how good he was to her.
So after Xu Yingxi left yesterday afternoon, he didn't continue to pester her, but instead agreed to drink with a group of brothers to vent his frustration.
Qi Wangzhou didn't say that he had broken up with Xu Yingxi, he just said that they had quarreled and were in a cold war.
Naturally, several brothers stood on his side.
"Our school beauty is beautiful, but her personality is really spoiled. She has no consideration for others at all."
"Mr. Qi, you are just too nice to your girlfriend. That's why she gets angry with you every time there's a little thing."
"Yes, Mr. Qi, you should say something to her in the future. You can't just obey her like this anymore."
To this, Qi Wangzhou responded: "Don't say that. I chose my girlfriend myself, and I am willing to spoil her."
Everyone joked, "Look at Master Qi's awareness and endurance! No wonder he can be with the school beauty. We ordinary people can't compare to him."
Qi Wangzhou said nothing more and just kept drinking.
Later he drank too much and didn't remember what happened clearly. When he woke up, he found himself in the dormitory.
Qi Wangzhou didn't bother to think about how he got back. The hangover gave him a splitting headache, and that bright face unconsciously appeared in his mind again.
I remember the last time he drank too much, Xu Yingxi scolded him and didn't treat him well for a week.
At that time, Qi Wangzhou was very unconvinced and thought it was normal for men to drink.
Now he felt that it was a rare thing that Xu Yingxi was willing to lose her temper with him at that time.
Now she doesn't even reply to his messages.
All the strategies I thought of yesterday, such as giving her time and waiting for her to calm down, at this moment, none of them can compare to my longing for her.
Qi Wangzhou hesitated for less than a minute before dialing Xu Yingxi's number, using a mobile phone number that he rarely used.
As a result, the other party answered the call, but hung up again in less than two minutes.
Qi Wangzhou held the phone dejectedly.
What should he do to see her?
The dormitory door rang.
Qi Wangzhou raised his head and saw Song Siyao coming back from outside with several lab reports in his hand.
As if Qi Wangzhou didn't exist, Song Siyao walked straight to his desk.
Qi Wangzhou couldn't help but ask, "Did you just come back from the lab?"
Song Siyao didn't turn around and said calmly, "Yeah."
Qi Wangzhou: "Is she... here?"
He didn't say the name, but subconsciously felt that Song Siyao knew who he was referring to.
Song Siyao's tone remained unchanged: "I didn't notice."
Qi Wangzhou choked.
How could Song Siyao not notice whether Xu Yingxi was in the laboratory or not?
However, Qi Wangzhou felt that Xu Yingxi was indeed not there.
Given her personality, even if she didn't want to see him, she wouldn't tell a lie that could be exposed so easily.
That should be in the dormitory.
Qi Wangzhou didn't dare to block Xu Yingxi at the door of the girls' dormitory.
In the nearly six months that they had been together, Xu Yingxi had never said anything bad about any of her exes in front of him.
But Qi Wangzhou still found out from others that the reason Xu Yingxi decided to break up with her first boyfriend was that the man named He ran to the downstairs of the girls' dormitory that day and said that he would not leave until Xu Yingxi came out.
The result is obvious. Xu Yingxi doesn't buy it, and He is completely out.
Qi Wangzhou would never dare to follow in his footsteps again.
His brothers are unreliable, but his roommate... might be able to help.
Song Siyao next to him picked up a book and seemed to be ready to leave again.
The opportunity was not to be missed, and Qi Wangzhou no longer hesitated: "Brother Song, are you going to the lab again?"
He seldom calls Song Siyao that, but some of his classmates do, so it's okay to follow the trend.
Song Siyao: “Yeah.”
Qi Wangzhou: "Can you do me a favor?"
Song Siyao finally looked at him: "What can I do for you?"
Qi Wangzhou knew it was pointless to beat around the bush, so he just said, "Didn't Xixi and I have a fight recently? Could you please send a message to Xu Yingxi saying you have something related to the project that you want to discuss with her in person and ask her to come to the lab?"
In this way, he happened to go to the laboratory and create an encounter, so at least he could talk to Xu Yingxi face to face.
Song Siyao: “No.”
Qi Wangzhou: “…”
He took a deep breath and risked his life. "Brother Song, I know you don't like to meddle in these trivial matters, but this is really important. It concerns my happiness for the rest of my life. Just this once, I beg you, okay?"
Song Siyao's expression was calm: "You said the same thing to me half a year ago."
Qi Wangzhou was stunned, then realized what Song Siyao was referring to.
Half a year ago, Qi Wangzhou fell in love with Xu Yingxi at first sight.
When he heard from a friend that there was a very beautiful undergraduate girl in the computer department, he didn't take it seriously. After looking at her photos, he felt that she was no different from those internet celebrities on Weibo.
Until that day, Xu Yingxi came to the laboratory to greet the seniors, and most of the students in the laboratory were stunned.
It turns out there are people who are as beautiful as in the photos... no, they are even more stunning than in the photos.
Qi Wangzhou was also among the captured people. At that time, he made up his mind to catch up with Xu Yingxi no matter how hard it took.
He secretly calculated who his competitors were.
There are more than sixty students in the entire laboratory under all the tutors, and Qi Wangzhou considers himself one of the two best-qualified men.
The other one is Song Siyao.
Moreover, Song Siyao and Xu Yingxi are both disciples of Professor Zhang. In comparison, Song Siyao is more likely to "get the moon first because he is close to the water."
Therefore, the key to the matter is to ensure that Song Siyao and Xu Yingxi do not fall in love with each other.
That evening, Qi Wangzhou went to find out what Song Siyao was thinking: "What do you think of that schoolgirl Xu who came this afternoon?"
Song Siyao responded: "I don't have much project experience, but I have solid professional knowledge, which is better than most undergraduates."
Qi Wangzhou thought to himself that this person was unromantic, but he breathed a sigh of relief.
But to ensure everything went smoothly, Qi Wangzhou added, "To be honest, I want to pursue Xu Xuemei. If you don't mind, I'll ask the teacher tomorrow if I can arrange for Xu Xuemei to help out in my project team."
It is common for new students like Xu Yingxi to be assigned by teachers to assist senior students.
Seeing that Song Siyao didn't answer immediately, Qi Wangzhou continued to add more firewood: "Please, buddy, this is related to my happiness for the rest of my life, it's very important!"
Qi Wangzhou remembered clearly that Song Siyao was reading a paper at the time. He didn't even frown when he heard it: "Whatever you want."
So the next day Qi Wangzhou really talked to Professor Zhang and asked if he could arrange for Xu Yingxi to work on a project with him.
It is normal for new students to help their seniors, not to mention that Professor Zhang and Qi Wangzhou's parents are very close friends.
Professor Zhang teased him a few times, and after telling him not to talk nonsense outside, he did him this harmless favor.
Later, he lived up to expectations and took the opportunity of working on a project together to frequently contact Xu Yingxi and successfully pursued Xu Yingxi.
Qi Wangzhou came out of his memories and saw Song Siyao's calm and extremely cold gaze.
In a fit of rage, Qi Wangzhou blurted out, "Didn't you say no half a year ago? Now you're suddenly rejecting me, isn't it because you also like Xu Yingxi?"
Song Siyao stopped what he was doing.
"You're overthinking it," he said. "I just don't want to waste time trying to cover up a lie."
Qi Wangzhou: “…”
Song Siyao didn't say anything else and went out with the book.
Qi Wangzhou looked at the closed dormitory door for a while and sighed.
He was impulsive. How could he say such words in the heat of the moment?
How is that possible?
But now, he has completely offended the person who has the greatest hope of helping him.
…
In the apartment, Xu Yingxi was turning a pen and looking at Xu Xingluo casually.
"What's wrong?" she asked. "What's your reaction?"
Xu Xingluo: “…”
He repeated it three times in his mind:
Xu Yingxi is not married yet. It is her freedom to date whomever she wants. It has nothing to do with her son.
After three times, Xu Xingluo let out a breath.
No way!
Even though he knew this in his heart, it was impossible for him not to care about his mother's current relationship status!
Xu Xingluo steeled himself and mustered up the courage to speak: "Um...was the person who called you just now your boyfriend?"
Xu Yingxi raised her eyebrows.
Xu Xingluo quickly waved his hands: "I was just asking casually! It's okay if you don't want to answer, just pretend I didn't say anything!"
Xu Yingxi: "Ex-boyfriend, we just broke up last week."
Xu Xingluo was stunned: "Huh?"
The three words "ex-boyfriend" flashed through the boy's mind, and he finally reacted.
For a moment, Xu Xingluo almost laughed out loud.
But then he immediately thought that his mother was talking to her ex-boyfriend who had just broken up, and she must be in a bad mood.
As a son, how could he gloat over someone else's misfortune!
Xu Xingluo forced down the corners of his mouth that were about to curl up, and tried hard to look sad.
But he was not good at hiding his emotions, so his face showed a very distorted expression of crying and laughing.
Xu Yingxi: “…”
I really don't want to admit that this boy in front of me with a mentally retarded expression is my future son.
Xu Yingxi turned back and typed on the computer.
After reading the information sent by Party A, she decided to take the job and was going to send the other party an email to confirm.
Xu Xingluo didn't dare to act rashly, but he couldn't suppress the urge to ask something else.
After Xu Yingxi pressed the send button, he spoke cautiously: "Can I ask another question?"
Xu Yingxi was very satisfied with the remuneration this time and was in a good mood.
She nodded: "You say."
Xu Xingluo: "That Qi... classmate Qi called you just now. Does he want to get back together with you?"
The boy was trembling with fear, afraid that asking too many questions would make his mother angry.
"Yeah." Xu Yingxi looked unconcerned. "But I didn't agree. I'd have to change my surname to get back with you."
Xu Xingluo: “…Oh.”
The boy seemed to have said only one word, but he was actually brainstorming furiously.
His father should not be included in the category of "going back to the good old love", right?
Xu Xingluo knew nothing about the "story" between his parents. Both of them were tight-lipped, and he didn't even know why they got married.
The only information he knew was that his parents were once disciples of the same mentor, and his father was his mother's senior fellow student.
Even this, Xu Xingluo had to ask his father with great difficulty.
Xu Yingxi didn't plan to continue this topic.
In her opinion, ex-boyfriends should be completely deleted from her life after breaking up.
Therefore, Xu Yingxi rarely discusses her ex with people around her, and almost never says bad things about her ex to others.
However, Qi Wangzhou, her ex-boyfriend, is indeed the most troublesome one among her three exes.
Her two ex-boyfriends were one in the school next door and the other in a different college and grade from her, so it would be difficult for them to meet under normal circumstances.
Qi Wangzhou is different. After breaking up, the two are still in the same laboratory, and there will always be times when they cannot be avoided.
Thinking of this, Xu Yingxi became even angrier.
She shouldn't have been so foolish as to accept Qi Wangzhou's confession. What a mistake!
When choosing a boyfriend again in the future, she will definitely exclude the options of "classmate", "fellow student" and "colleague".
Fortunately, she is currently a "researcher zero" and there is no workstation for her in the laboratory. Apart from group meetings, she and Qi Wangzhou have few opportunities to meet.
Xu Yingxi was just thinking about it when the phone screen lit up.
Professor Zhang sent a document in the group.
At the beginning of the semester, the professor mentioned in the group meeting that the medical image analysis project jointly conducted by the laboratory and the hospital required a team of two to go out to various hospitals to collect data.
There are a total of more than a dozen people involved in the project. Because everyone's schedule needs to be taken into consideration, the specific grouping and time arrangement have not been finalized until now.
There is also a text message behind the form.
Professor Zhang: [Everyone, please review the grouping arrangements. If you have any questions, please discuss and change them. Please report to me before 6:00 PM tonight. Also, for safety and physical reasons, each group must consist of one man and one woman.]
Xu Yingxi prayed in her heart, "Don't be Qi Wangzhou," while clicking on the form to find her name.
…
Damn, it’s Qi Wangzhou.
If it was just a few people doing it, she would just consider it a sacrifice for the advancement of scientific research.
But this time the mission is to work in groups of two, which means that according to this arrangement, she and Qi Wangzhou will go out alone for a day.
Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.
Xu Yingxi quickly looked through the table from top to bottom to see if it was possible to find someone to swap with her.
There are far fewer courses in the senior year than in the previous three years, but on average there is still more than one course per day.
Xu Yingxi eliminated the groups that conflicted with her class schedule, leaving only Group E and Group F on Friday afternoon to choose from.
The seniors in Group E all had a good relationship with her, while the other group...
Without thinking, Xu Yingxi sent a message to the senior students in Group E.
The senior student was very considerate and didn't ask her why she wanted to change: "Sorry, Xixi, your Group E schedule conflicts with my major class. I may not be able to change. Why don't you ask someone else?"
Xu Yingxi sighed inwardly, staring at one of the two names in Group F on the spreadsheet—
Song Siyao.
She and this Senior Brother Song didn't get along very well, but it was better than teaming up with a clingy ex-boyfriend, right?
Thinking of this, Xu Yingxi sent a message to the senior student who was originally a partner with Song Siyao.
The senior student quickly replied: "That's fine with me, but I'm not sure what Mr. Song thinks. Have you asked him?"
Xu Yingxi: [Thank you, Senior Sister. I'll go ask Senior Brother Song now.]
She was the one who bothered the senior first, so it was neither moral nor logical for her to let the senior speak for her again.
but……
Considering that Senior Brother Song was not so easy to talk to, Xu Yingxi felt that if she wanted to successfully change groups, she had better show some sincerity.
Xu Yingxi found the three words "Song Siyao" in the address book and typed: [Senior Brother Song, are you available to answer the phone now?]
Half a minute later.
Song Siyao: [Yes.]
Xu Yingxi dialed the number immediately.
When the call was connected, Xu Yingxi cleared her throat and said, "Senior Brother Song, are you busy?"
She didn't notice that the young man next to her stiffened instantly after hearing the words "Senior Brother Song".
