Chapter 57
In May, the results of the self-examination were announced, and Xue Ying passed all the four subjects with high marks.
Bai Qianyi called immediately to ask for the result. After learning the result, he wanted to abduct Xue Yingshuang again: "You are progressing so fast in the exam. After you get your computer degree, hurry up and get another law degree. At that time, I will teach you again, and I will cover all English and law."
Xing Yun listened in and sneered, too lazy to compete with Bai Qianyi for the position of teacher.
Anyway, no matter what the English teacher or the law teacher is, they can't threaten his real boyfriend, Bai Qianyi can fight for favor by himself, he doesn't care.
And Xue Yingshuang is quite satisfied with his results this time. Now he has taken eight subjects, half of which has been passed, and he is one step closer to his goal.
However, happy to be happy, Professor Ma still has to continue his work there. He has been in University A too much.
In the morning, Xue Yingshuang came to Professor Ma's office on time.
There was a piece of glass above the door of the office. Xue Yingshuang looked up and saw that the office was dark and Professor Ma had not come yet.
Professor Ma usually arrives very late, and he is used to it, so he automatically takes out his key and prepares to open the door.
However, as soon as the key was inserted into the keyhole, he found that the office was not locked. He thought he forgot to lock the door yesterday and pushed the door directly in.
Just as he opened the door, he heard snoring from the office.
He walked in lightly, only to see the curtains drawn in the office, the lights turned off, and only the computer screen on the desk glowed faintly. Behind the desk, Professor Ma lay on his back on a chair and slept soundly.
It seems that Professor Ma slept here last night.
Xue Yingshuang came to his small table softly. There were several documents on the small table, which Professor Ma had put in advance and left for Xue Yingshuang to deal with.
Xue Yingshuang put down his strength lightly, lifted the chair gently, and put it down again. He sat down silently and quietly turned on the computer.
Ma Zengyue was rushing a paper last night, and it was past three in the morning when he finished writing. He was old and really didn't have the energy to go home at this time, so he simply fell asleep in the office.
He glanced at the screen when he woke up, it was half past ten in the morning.
He sat up straight and didn't rush to turn on the light, so he looked at the screen and checked the paper he wrote yesterday.
It only took less than a minute for him to hear a thin mouse click in the darkness.
The voice was so soft that he almost thought he had hallucinated, but after a few seconds, the voice came again.
He frowned, leaned suspiciously, and looked back across the screen.
At a glance, saw the computer screen on the small table lit up.
In the dark, Xue Yingshuang was sitting in front of the computer, using the flashlight of his mobile phone as lighting, and was processing documents.
Ma Zengyue: "???"
"What are you doing there without the lights on!" Professor Ma roared.
"Teacher!" Xue Yingshuang was also surprised.
Three seconds later, the light in the office came on, and Professor Ma was so furious that he was almost mad at Xue Yingshuang: "You want to break your eyes, don't you?"
Xue Yingshuang said carefully: "The teacher is still resting, I'm afraid to disturb the teacher."
Just now he saw that Professor Ma was sleeping, so he didn't dare to turn on the light. He thought to himself that Professor Ma would be sleeping in the office, and he must be very tired. It's hard to get a good rest. If he turns on the light and wakes up the teacher, it will be bad.
"What age is it that you still play Chengmen Lixue," Professor Ma was still angry, "Did I tell you not to turn on the lights!"
"I'm afraid that the light suddenly turns on and the teacher will wake up." Xue Yingshuang said honestly.
"Wake up and wake up! Will I still kill you?"
"I'm sorry." Xue Yingshuang bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"You bastard, why are you so sharp?" Professor Ma was speechless.
In the past few months, Ma Zengyue has seen Xue Yingshuang's seriousness.
But at the same time, he also found that this person is very sharp. As long as Xue Yingshuang felt that something "I should do", he would do it recklessly.
This is a good thing for learning. But for some things, it can be said to be stubborn at all. Just like turning on the lights just now, Xue Yingshuang did everything in the dark in order to "not affect the teacher".
But it doesn't need to be that far.
"Forget it." Ma Zengyue really didn't know what to say about this person, "I will turn on the lights myself in the future."
"Yes." Xue Yingshuang bowed slightly.
Xue Yingshuang wanted to go back to work at his small table again. Ma Zengyue thought of something and called him back again.
Ma Zengyue said: "You did well in the midterm exam, keep going."
Xue Yingshuang was overjoyed: "Because the teacher taught well."
Xue Yingshuang was overjoyed, thinking of the self-examination results that had just been announced. Although Ma Zengyue is usually not easy to get close to, Xue Ying respects him both ways and will report anything to him.
Xue Yingshuang said: "Teacher, my self-examination results have come out this time, and I have passed all four subjects!"
"Oh." Professor Ma glanced at him coldly, "What's the joy of this? Is this complacent?"
Xue Yingshuang quickly suppressed his smile again.
"Since this has been mentioned," Professor Ma said, "I ask you, which research direction do you want to do in the future? Where do you study?"
Xue Yingshuang: "?"
Professor Ma: "You have read a lot of papers, and you have also gone to the laboratory. There is always a goal in the future, right?"
Xue Yingshuang: "My goal is... After I get my undergraduate degree, I should first find a small company to be a programmer... and then take the public exam...?"
Professor Ma: "?"
The two looked at each other, each with question marks all over their heads.
A few seconds later, Professor Ma's roar reappeared in the office: "You idiot who can't support the wall with mud! A little progress will stop you! Is your vision so small!"
Xue Yingshuang did not dare to speak.
Professor Ma was almost mad at him: "If you say that you are motivated, I think you will work for the rest of your life!"
I'm just a worker's life... Xue Yingshuang agreed with Professor Ma's words in his heart, but he didn't dare to answer, for fear of making Professor Ma angry.
After leaving school that day, Xue Yingshuang was still thinking about this question.
He knew that Professor Ma cared about him, but he felt that Professor Ma had misunderstood him. In other words, many people have misunderstood him.
People often say that he is "motivated" and "loving to learn", and has great expectations for his future, as if he has lofty aspirations and has been moving toward a great dream.
However, his goals have never changed.
Pay off debts, get an undergraduate degree, find a stable job, support yourself, have a small family, and raise a puppy.
That's all.
In the eyes of others, this goal may be ridiculously small, but for someone who started from a negative point, it is already a great challenge.
He likes to study, but studying also has a cost. Studying is a luxury for him, and continuing to study is not his dream at all.
He was very grateful to have such a period of time to study with confidence, and he dared not think about it any more.
What he should do is to face reality as soon as possible.
It's just, just now that Professor Ma was beaten like this, he was suddenly lost.
Are those things that he can think of too?
Is that all I want?
On the weekend morning, Xing Yun changed into a suit and came to the study. Xue Yingshuang was sitting at the desk with his head lowered very low. Xing Yun knocked on the desk and said, "Go and change your clothes."
"I won't go..." Xue Yingshuang turned the page of the book, "Go on your own, just pack some leftovers for me and come back."
"Go! I want to introduce someone to you!"
"No." Today is Xiao Zhao's wedding.
In the wedding invitation sent by Xiao Zhao, Xing Yun and Xue Yingshuang were invited at the same time. Xing Yun originally thought that the wedding day was coming, and Xue Yingshuang would naturally go with him, but he did not expect that this morning, Xue Yingshuang was not prepared to go at all.
"Are you willing to accompany me to that smoky bar, but not to Xiao Zhao's wedding?" Xing Yun didn't understand what Xue Yingshuang was thinking.
"I...it's not suitable..." Xue Yingshuang said honestly, "I'm afraid I'll embarrass you."
In fact, Xue Yingshuang didn't think much of it at first, but only later did he know that Xiao Zhao was Xing Yun's younger brother, and some alumni of University A were invited to the wedding, many of whom were former classmates of Xing Yun.
If they found out that Xing Yun had handed a person like this, they didn't know how to treat Xing Yun, and Xing Yun would feel ashamed at that time... Knowing that these things were inevitable, he should have let Xing Yun see the truth.
But Xue Yingshuang couldn't help but want to avoid it.
"What shame is not shameful, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xing Yun glared, "I tell you, if you say something like this again, I will deduct..."
Xing Yun wanted to deduct the money, but suddenly he couldn't. After falling in love, he even handed in the salary card, and it seems that he is not eligible to deduct Xue Ying double money. In the end, he could only stare at Xue Yingshuang, and said fiercely: "Be careful, I don't love you anymore."
And such a good thing?
Xue Yingshuang thought to himself, it's good if you don't love me, so I can't hurt you... However, although he thought so, he subconsciously said anxiously: "You can't do this!"
In the end, Xue Yingshuang still accompanied Xing Yun to the wedding.
Xiao Zhao's wedding was held in a hotel. The wedding was not extravagant, and there were not many guests invited, but it looked very lively.
Xing Yun took Xue Yingshuang's hand into the venue, and whispered to Xue Yingshuang: "I'll arrange a table for you with Lu Yan and the others, you don't have to be nervous."
In the office building of Xingyun Company, there is a legend of Wanchai Pier. The boss who started a business there is either bent or is about to be bent, and he does not know what magnetic field it is.
Needless to say, Xing Yun, Lu Yan downstairs, and Meng Yu downstairs of Lu Yan, both wives are men. The three bosses had work contacts, and Xiao Zhao knew them as an assistant, so he invited them and their families too.
When they came to the table, Xue Yingshuang saw only four people sitting at their table.
He had seen the photos of Lu Yan and Meng Yu, and Xing Yun introduced the other two to him. Sitting beside Lu Yan was a very gentle-looking young man named Yuan Chengxi. Sitting beside Meng Yu was a young man named Zhou Yibai, the painter who made Xing Yun sour.
"Let's chat casually, I'll go say hello with Meng Yu." After Xing Yun finished speaking, he left with Meng Yu. Meng Yu also graduated from University A and was Xing Yun's senior.
At the table, only Xue Yingshuang and the other three were left.
Lu Yan didn't speak much, just sat at the table and looked at the teacup quietly. Zhou Yibai was also very quiet, playing games with his mobile phone.
Only Yuan Chengxi smiled at Xue Yingshuang and said, "You don't need to worry about the two of them. The two of them don't talk much outside, so you can pretend they don't exist."
Yuan Chengxi had just finished speaking when suddenly Xing Yun came back, followed by a group of people.
Xue Yingshuang: "?"
Xing Yun's face was a little red, he walked over quickly, lowered his body to Xue Ying's ears and said, "My classmates want to see you, just say hello."
Xue Yingshuang's heart was beating so fast that it finally came. It was finally time to lose face in front of Xing Yun's friends.
Xue Yingshuang felt uneasy in his heart, but he behaved very calmly. He smiled at everyone and said hello.
Xing Yun's classmates are all excellent. There are a lot of them studying abroad, working as executives in companies, teaching in universities, and starting businesses just like Xing Yun.
When they saw Xue Yingshuang, they all had smiles on their faces. One of them said: "Your boyfriend is too handsome, Xing Yun, you are so happy."
Hearing others praise Xue Yingshuang, Xing Yun smiled coldly, his tail cocked high.
"Where did you get high school?" someone asked.
"Still studying." Xing Yun answered for him, "His grades are good."
"You are quite right."
"Of course."
After everyone teased Xing Yun for a few more words, they went back to the table that belonged to the classmates of University A.
However, in a few minutes, the matter was over, and Xue Yingshuang was still a little unable to react.
……That's it?
He had always expected all kinds of embarrassing scenes, but he didn't expect that none of those scenes would appear, and things ended peacefully in the blink of an eye, but Xue Yingshuang was a little surprised.
"Are you nervous?" At this time, Yuan Chengxi asked him with a smile, "Is it the first time you saw them?"
Yuan Chengxi was very gentle, which made Xue Yingshuang feel a sense of intimacy. He nodded honestly: "Frightened to death."
"The first time I met Lu Yan's friends, that's how I felt. I was afraid of making a fool of myself." Yuan Chengxi laughed, "I found out later that I thought too much, and the friends he would let me meet must be good people. And if you make a fool of yourself, you will make a fool of yourself. Who hasn't made a fool of yourself?"
Also, how could Xing Yun make him embarrassed... Why didn't he think about this before?
He was always afraid that he would embarrass Xing Yun, but someone as gentle and careful as Xing Yun must be ready.
And it's really embarrassing, with Xing Yun's mind, will he really care about him?
At this moment, Xue Yingshuang seemed to understand something.
Suddenly he realized another problem and asked Yuan Chengxi, "Are you afraid too?"
Xue Yingshuang heard Xing Yun mentioned that Yuan Chengxi was an undergraduate of A University, and later he went abroad to get a master's degree and came back to work in a well-known accounting firm. With such a beautiful resume, Xue Yingshuang did not understand what he was afraid of.
"Why wouldn't I be afraid?" Yuan Chengxi laughed, "Xing Yun and Lu Yan talked about you, I know, I'm about the same as you... Of course, I don't work as hard as you."
Xue Yingshuang: "?"
Yuan Chengxi: "I took the undergraduate exam again when I was in my twenties."
When Yuan Chengxi mentioned this, Xue Yingshuang remembered other things that Xing Yun had gonessip about.
Yuan Chengxi's father passed away early, and his mother was very ill when he was in high school. In order to take care of his mother and earn medical expenses, although he scored well in the college entrance examination, he gave up his studies and went straight to work. He also raised a nephew who was only five or six years old alone.
It was not until later that he met Lu Yan that Yuan Chengxi took the college entrance examination again.
Recalling this, Xue Yingshuang said, "You are the one who worked hard."
Yuan Chengxi: "We don't have to work harder than anyone else. We really have to. Xiaobai is also very hardworking. After graduating from college, he has to raise his daughter."
Zhou Yibai, who had been sitting silently beside him, heard this and whispered, "I'm fine."
At that moment, Xue Yingshuang suddenly understood why Xing Yun insisted on him coming.
Perhaps what Xing Yun really wanted him to meet was not those classmates, but Yuan Chengxi, a person with a similar life experience to him!
"I heard that you are studying for an undergraduate degree by yourself? Are you still working in the laboratory of University A?" Yuan Chengxi said, "You work hard."
"Fortunately, it's not as hard as you." Xue Yingshuang said, "My starting point is too low, I can't do it if I don't work hard."
"You are too modest. I tell you, you should learn Xing Yun." Yuan Chengxi suddenly showed a dumbfounded expression, "Xing Yun is cute and shows off you, and every time I meet Lu Yan, I have to squirm for a while, saying How well have you been doing lately."
Lu Yan, who had been silent for a long time, nodded vigorously at this time.
Xue Yingshuang was stunned for a moment, never thought that Xing Yun would show off him so much in front of his friends.
"you……"
"Ask any questions."
"Did Lu Yan's parents accept you back then?" Xue Yingshuang actually wanted to ask, with your background, did you ever think that you were not worthy of Lu Yan? But this question is too straightforward.
Yuan Chengxi smiled, as if he understood what he meant. Yuan Chengxi said: "They are very open-minded and accept me very quickly. But I think it is one thing whether they accept it or not. The point is how I can make myself worthy of Lu Yan."
"Lu Yan told me before that I can't keep thinking about the job of serving dishes." Yuan Chengxi said, "I just found out that I'm too short-sighted and my pattern is not worthy of him. I can't just wait for others to accept it. Me, I have to take the initiative to become acceptable to others."
"How to change?" Xue Yingshuang asked.
"It depends on how you think you are worthy of him." Yuan Chengxi replied.
After the wedding, Xue Yingshuang thought about that day from time to time.
The two pairs of lovers that day looked very right in his eyes. But as Yuan Chengxi said, everyone was not so smooth at the beginning, and they each went through a lot of struggle and hard work.
After I work hard, can I get one step closer to Xingyun?
He can't afford to lose, he has no capital to accept failure again, can he give it a shot?
An answer seemed to come out, but Xue Yingshuang could not capture the whole picture of the answer.
A few days later, Xue Yingshuang accidentally met someone in A University.
At that time, he was about to go home from get off work and was walking in the school, when he was suddenly slapped on the shoulder. Looking back, saw that it was Anfu.
The last time Xue Yingshuang saw An Fu, his heart beat faster, but with Professor Ma, An Fu was not attractive to him.
An Fu said: "What a coincidence, I have an event here today, and I actually met you."
Xue Yingshuang nodded: "Hello."
An Fu chatted a few more times, but Xue Yingshuang didn't answer enthusiastically. He just looked at his phone and paid close attention to the time.
"You're still with Xing Yun?" An Fu raised his eyebrows.
"Yeah." Xue Yingshuang nodded casually.
"You are so interesting." An Fu smiled, "You are willing to be with him even though you know he likes Bai Qianyi."
Xue Yingshuang didn't want to explain his relationship with Xing Yun to him, so he just glanced at him lightly.
An Fu saw his expression, but thought he was forcing his composure. An Fu couldn't help but said: "What good does he have? You might as well follow me. I can give you whatever he can give you."
Xue Yingshuang thought to himself, if he can give me the cutest puppy in the world, you can't afford it.
Seeing that he didn't answer, An Fu observed him and said, "What are you doing here? Class?"
Xue Ying nodded.
An Fu smiled: "Follow me, I'll give you the money, and you won't have to go to class."
Xue Yingshuang frowned and looked at him suspiciously.
An Fu: "Classes are a waste of time. I can take you to eat and drink spicy food every day, and show you everywhere to play. I know a lot of fun."
Xing Yun also knows a lot of fun, we play games every day.
Xue Yingshuang was too lazy to ignore him and planned to leave. But suddenly, something flashed in his mind. He stopped again and asked An Fu, "What if I want to study?"
An Fu seemed to have heard a very funny joke, laughed and said with a joking expression: "You have a very special taste. But this is also simple. I will buy it for you, what kind of education do you want, if you want it? I'll buy you a doctorate."
Xue Yingshuang shook his head, ignored him, and left.
In the evening, Xue Yingshuang and Xing Yun studied in the study together again.
Xing Yun has no work today and is listening to an English speech on the computer.
Xue Yingshuang was thinking about the conversation with An Fu in the afternoon. He looked at Xing Yun, who was focused on the side, and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Ma asked me a while ago, which direction do you want to go in graduate school."
"What?" Xing Yun immediately took off his headphones.
Xue Yingshuang did not say that he was scolded, only that Ma Zengyue discussed with him about graduate school. Xing Yun suddenly smiled when he heard it: "He asked you this, just to affirm your ability. My family is really good!"
Xue Yingshuang was praised for no reason, and Xing Yun was embarrassed.
But I have to say that after being praised by Xing Yun for a long time, sometimes he also feels that he is not that bad.
Xue Yingshuang asked: "If I want to go to graduate school in the future, what do you think?"
Xue Yingshuang remembered An Fu's playful smile in the afternoon. He looked at Xing Yun and saw that Xing Yun also smiled. Xing Yun smiled happily and said, "Wait for me."
Xing Yun opened the drawer and took out a thick stack of documents. He handed the stack of documents to Xue Yingshuang and said with a smile, "I checked some information for you before, take a look."
Xue Yingshuang opened the documents and saw that they were all related to postgraduate entrance exams. What each school is good at, what tutors, what strengths and weaknesses, Xing Yun listed them one by one and made a table. There are also some rules related to the postgraduate entrance examination. Xing Yun used a highlighter to mark all the places related to the undergraduates of the self-examination examination, and also marked the important places with red pen asterisks.
These are all done by Xing Yun himself, and don't know where he has the time to prepare these because he is so busy.
"Is there anything else you want to know, I'll help you sort it out." Xing Yun said.
Xue Yingshuang didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment. He looked at Xing Yun's handwriting on the paper, and his eyes became warm.
Xue Yingshuang: "Why do you think I need these? I never said that I want to take the postgraduate entrance examination."
Xing Yun: "But I know you like to study, and you will need it sooner or later."
Xue Yingshuang: "Aren't you afraid that I will go to graduate school, and the time we spend together will be reduced?"
Xing Yun: "Why aren't you afraid? But you like learning. You don't say it, but I know you love learning and want to improve. And you also know that I just like your attitude. I'm happy when you see progress. , I will support you no matter what."
Xing Yun said this with a smile on his face, Xue Yingshuang looked at his handsome eyebrows and was speechless.
Xing Yun raised his eyebrows again and said happily: "And I've thought about it. If you're going to take the postgraduate entrance exam, then I'll take the test too. Let's prepare for the test together, study together, and make progress together. Do you think it's okay?"
Yes, of course.
Xue Yingshuang hugged Xing Yun and hugged him fiercely.
He suddenly felt that he seemed to have such a glimmer of hope that he was worthy of Xing Yun.
