Chapter 5 Zaijing·Reality
"It's true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead." After Lin Ru let go of his hand, he looked at He Ying, "Then we"

"See you on the field" has not yet been said.

Then he was interrupted by He Ying: "Then you go slowly, we won't see you off."

Then, he spread his palms in front of him again:

"I used my student ID to apply for this multimedia classroom with the Academic Affairs Office, and I also went to Professor Tan to sign it. So now I need the senior to return the key to me."

Lin Ru smiled awkwardly, returned the key, and beckoned them to leave.

Chu Mingchen still didn't forget to send Huan to the door, and said to Chen Jingyi with a cheap smile:
"Coming together~~ Next time we meet, you don't need to put on such heavy makeup, it looks like your foundation is gone! Tsk tsk tsk tsk!"

Without any suspense, he got a blank stare from the other party:
"boring!!"

But he didn't care, and shouted "See you on the field" in the corridor, turned around and pulled a chair familiarly, sat in front of He Ying with the back of the chair facing forward, and gave a thumbs up:

"He Ying! No. 1 in Tianyang's ancient architectural theory knowledge! It is said that he can memorize the color spectrum and "Zao Zao Shi"! Seeing it today, it is really extraordinary!"

"You should call me Senior Sister." He Ying put a serious face on her face, and put the WeChat QR code in front of Chu Mingchen, "Add a WeChat."

"Sister, I have your WeChat."

Chu Mingchen took out his mobile phone with a smile, shook it in front of He Ying, and began to chatter again:
"When I was reporting as a freshman, as soon as I entered the school, you pulled my suitcase and took me to go through the admission procedures, and then took the initiative to add me on WeChat, saying that Gu Jian's junior is your half-brother ! But I sent you a WeChat message to invite you to dinner later, but you didn't even reply to me!"

"We're going to split up now."

He Ying didn't bother to care about Chu Mingchen's making up stories there, and just lowered her head to edit the group message:

"Now there are only two of us, and it may be too late to form a team from scratch. You can first ask if there are any vacancies in other teams in the department. Let me ask the alumni of architecture, and you ask the students of ancient architecture. Both you and I For the ancient architecture major, the teachers and students of the professional courses are also the same group of people, and there should be no obstacles for everyone to communicate."

Speaking of this, He Ying seemed to think of something, and suddenly raised her head.

"wrong!"

She frowned, and looked at Chu Mingchen again from head to toe:

"I don't miss any of my ancient architecture courses. I've never seen you in class. Are you really a freshman in ancient architecture?"

Seeing Chu Mingchen nodding with a smile on his face, He Ying came back to his senses:

"Ah!~ I remembered! You are not the one that all the teachers say, who never attends classes and has to retake all subjects. Get rid of Chen, right?"

"Remove Chen?!"

Chu Mingchen rolled his eyes in his heart: he actually gave himself such a nickname, thanks to these teachers who figured it out!

"I thought your surname was Chen, and they wanted to remove your name, so they asked you to remove your name Chen. After a long time, it turns out that your name is Chu Mingchen!"

He Ying secretly regretted it, and wanted to withdraw the news with this name, but found that it was too late.

More than a dozen group messages have been sent.

[Hello, is there any shortage of people in your team for the Ancient Architecture Contest?Chu Mingchen and I, a freshman from the ancient building, want to join, is it possible? 】

soon.

The voice of He Ying's WeChat messages kept ringing.

Alumni A:

[He Ying, our group has already filled the garden, and now that the works are all set, haven't you formed a team with the university bully Lin Ru? 】

Alumni B:

[Sorry, He Ying, I went to the Landscape Architecture Department to form a team, and I don’t know the place I’m familiar with, so I can’t talk about it, why don’t you ask your professional instructors again? 】

Alumni C:

[If you come by yourself, I can talk to our mentor about changing someone.But that Chu Mingchen, he is the second-generation ancestor who is famous in your ancient architecture major. You brought him here because you were thinking about pitting your sisters, right? 】

[However, he is quite handsome, so if we don't talk about the competition, we can introduce him to him. 】

Without exception, all responses were rejections.

He Ying looked up, seeing Chu Mingchen put on a harmless expression in front of her, she couldn't help but get angry:

"How have you been doing so well for half a year? Your infamous reputation has spread to the architecture school!"

But Chu Mingchen pressed his mobile phone on the table and said seriously:

"Sister He Ying, don't waste your time, if I were you, you should recognize the reality now!"

"What reality?"

"Look."

Chu Mingchen stretched out five fingers, and began to analyze in a decent manner:
"The first point is that there are only freshmen and sophomores majoring in ancient architecture at Tianyang School of Architecture. Let alone whether anyone is willing to take you and me to form a team, just relying on professional achievements and practical experience, there is no People are the opponents of big three old foxes like Lin Ru."

He Ying thoughtfully, then nodded and asked, "What about the second one?"

"Second, when you rejected the invitations from other groups and plunged into the circle of Xueba, other people would only think that you were high-spirited and looked down on them. Now that you are kicked out by Xueba, they don't have time to see the joke, so what? Will you play with me?"

"Go on."

"Third, the challenge of restoring ancient Chinese buildings is already extraordinary. Now we add another one, surpassing the scores of the top academic teams and being shortlisted! This is full of BUFFs, and it is even more difficult! You find these second Those in the echelon have no chance of winning!"

Looking at Chu Mingchen's curled up three-fingered palm, He Ying felt that his words made sense, and wanted to continue listening:
"What about the fourth?"

"No, just these three points."

Chu Mingchen got up and sat on the table again, getting closer to He Ying:
"If you want to win them, you have to find the strange talents in the school, and do the opposite!"

"Wonderful genius?" He Ying was full of doubts, not knowing what he was trying to tell.

"Uh, to put it bluntly, it's the grassroots team."

"what?"

"As far as I know, a strange thing came back from your dormitory today."

Chu Mingchen got up, pulled He Ying and walked outside the classroom:

"But I'm not in a hurry to find them now. I came here early this morning to wait for you. I didn't even have breakfast. Senior sister, did you bring your meal card?"

"Bring it."

"Then you can borrow it from me."

"Why don't you use your meal card?"

"I just came back from traveling in the Maijishan Grottoes, and I went to Dongyang to collect a few Dongyang woodcarvings. Money is a bit tight."

Just like that, He Ying was dragged by Chu Mingchen from the teaching building to the cafeteria.

Along the way, the breeze was gentle, and the students passed me on the road, and the bicycle bell was still ringing in my ears. Everything was the same as usual.

but.

On both sides of the stone road leading to the cafeteria, the tender green grass has turned into light pink, and grass-green crabapple petals are also floating all over the path.

He Ying knew that the damn "intermittent red-green color blindness" had started again.

Rao is so.

In her eyes, the tall Gothic vocal music teaching building of the Conservatory of Music is still looming under the crabapple tree, and the stained windows made of glass blocks are still glowing with fantastic colors in the sunlight.

He Ying couldn't help sighing: If there is a library in the school, how wonderful it would be with a Chinese-style mortise and tenon structure!

Whether it is the legacy of the Tang and Song Dynasties, or the ancient rhyme of the Ming and Qing Dynasties;

It doesn't matter whether it is the carved beams and painted buildings of the Beijing School, the blue tiles and white walls of the Wan School, or the winding paths of the Su School, the grand and rigorous Jin School, the Tulou of the Fujian School, and the stilted buildings of the Sichuan School.
As long as it is Chinese, it is good.

But, will there be such a day?

There must be.

He Ying said to himself.

When he arrived at the cafeteria, Chu Mingchen didn't treat himself as an outsider.Xiaolongbao, tea eggs, millet porridge, and iced soy milk are ordered to fill the table, and they start to eat as soon as they sit down.

But when he looked up, he saw He Ying holding a notebook, writing and drawing on it, with a tense atmosphere lingering all over his body.

Raising his hand, he snatched the notebook, threw it aside, and handed a cup of millet porridge to her hand:
"Xi can't finish learning, and pictures can't finish drawing! People are iron rice and steel. Only when we are full can we have the strength to fight!"

That's right.

But seeing that next Monday is the deadline for registration, they still have a week to form a team.

Even He Ying, who had always been as stable as Mount Tai, felt that a huge cauldron was on his head at this moment.

She didn't want to kowtow to the other's work.

I don't even want to miss this opportunity to show the ancient Chinese architecture to everyone by myself.

But looking at the boy she just met in front of her, not only didn't act as nervous as herself, but also looked indifferent, she suddenly regretted it.

Maybe I shouldn't stand up so impulsively.

Instead, you should go to other groups alone, maybe you can still have a chance of winning.

But thinking that Chu Mingchen not only didn't laugh at her for being colorblind, but also tried to defend herself in front of Lin Ru and those team members, she silently chose to believe it, and secretly prepared to take the lead.

Chu Mingchen seemed to have insight into her mind, so he started talking with her, trying to unload her psychological burden.

"The most important thing about ancient Chinese architecture is not the color painting you are good at, nor the structural design, but the woodwork, tiles and stones."

Chu Mingchen swallowed a small steamed bun, took another sip of soy milk, and didn't lift his eyes:
"But you're lucky. I'm good at small carpentry, and the strange thing in your bedroom is civil engineering, good at large carpentry, plus you, a genius of color painting, we already have a half chance of winning!"

"Who are you talking about, who are you talking about?"

Chu Mingchen mentioned this person repeatedly, which made He Ying even more curious.

"she is"

But before the other party finished speaking, He Ying's cell phone rang: "It's my roommate Tang Guoguo, I'll answer it."

"He Ying~ something big happened!!"

On the other end of the microphone was the panicked voice of roommate Tang Guoguo:
"Lou Xinyue called me and said that she was seen by a boy in the dormitory! I just asked for leave to go back to the dormitory, but I don't know what to do if you don't come back~ Can you come back and take a look?"

"Boy?"

He Ying's heart skipped a beat.

Suddenly remembered the "boy" who passed by me when I left the dormitory, couldn't it be such a coincidence?

"Okay, okay, don't be afraid, I'll go back now."

She put her schoolbag on her back, left a sentence "I have something to go back to the dormitory, I will contact you on WeChat", and ran out of the cafeteria.

Chu Mingchen smiled crookedly: "Then it's better for you to get to know yourself."

After speaking, he swallowed another steamed bun in one gulp.

.

"Ahhhh~~~Guoguo~~What should I do~~~"

As soon as He Ying walked to the corridor of the dormitory, she heard Lou Xinyue crying at the top of her voice.

Opening the bedroom door, I saw several people standing in the room.

The teacher of the student office, the aunt of the dormitory manager, and the head of discipline inspection of the student union of the college surrounded the bed at the entrance of the bathroom.

Lou Xinyue hid behind Tang Guoguo, and when she saw He Ying coming back, she hugged her and cried.

"How did you get in? Where's your student ID card?"

The dormitory auntie with wool curls was obviously taken aback by the black, thin, straight-headed "boy" in front of her. She couldn't remember when she put a boy into the girls' dormitory.

On his thin face, two slender eyebrows were tightly knit together, and his tone was very stiff.

Obviously, this "boy" is also very helpless:
"I'll say it again. I'm a girl named Gu Ji. I'm a sophomore in civil engineering. As soon as I was assigned to this dormitory this semester, I went to the construction site for an internship. My ID card has not been sent back because I changed my name. Go to the student office to file for the record, and the teacher in your student office will find out after checking the internal system."

"Checking!"

The teacher of the student office, who had her hair combed meticulously, anxiously read WeChat for a long time, and finally waited for news from her colleagues.

After seeing the reply clearly, he pressed the screen of the mobile phone to black, folded his arms and shouted expressionlessly:

"Tianyang University has no student named Gu Ji at all! Now you can't provide your ID card and student ID card, and your supervisor's phone number can't be reached. How can you prove that you are from this dormitory? We can't search you either. If you don’t go out, you can only call the police.”

He Ying gently comforted Lou Xinyue, and after looking around for a long time, he finally confirmed that the "boy" was the one he almost bumped into when he went out.

Then he winked at the confused Tang Guoguo beside him:

"What's going on? Who is this person? Why did he run to our dormitory?"

"I do not know either."

Tang Guoguo pushed the round glasses on the bridge of his nose, lowered his head and said softly:

"Lou Xinyue said that she didn't know how she got in. It seemed that she had lost her ID card and student card. She refused to leave even if she couldn't find the student information. She insisted that she was from this dormitory."

"He's not!~"

When Lou Xinyue heard this, she sobbed and raised her head and shouted:

"I've seen that roommate before, a fair and clean long-haired beauty! They are not alone at all!"

Hearing this, He Ying understood the general idea.

Things froze here because the two of them insisted on their own opinions.

But that person couldn't provide identification, so it was really suspicious. In order to ensure the safety of myself and my roommate, calling the police to find out was the only way.

So he said without hesitation:

"Teacher! Let's call the police as soon as possible! Even if she is not a boy, it is impossible for us to live in a dormitory with an unknown person."

"Yes! I agree." Tang Guoguo also agreed.

"That's the only way to go." The student office teacher nodded and started calling the police.

But the "young man" sighed, took out his student ID card from his trouser pocket, put it in front of the teacher, and said like gold and jade:

"Then check Gu Zhaodi."
