If you hadn't come, how old would you make me

Chapter 18

Wen Ran thought about it all night.

The next morning, facing the dark circles under his eyes in the mirror, Wen Ran covered his eyes in annoyance.

Lin Sheng smiled at her while squeezing the toothpaste: "Tell me, what did you do to sneak around last night?"

Wen Ran glanced at her helplessly, and hastily splashed a handful of cold water to wash his face. His teeth were grinning from the cold, and his mind was completely awake.

"Lin Sheng." She suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Sheng in the mirror with wide eyes.

"What's wrong?" Lin Sheng replied vaguely.

"Why, you don't have a boyfriend anymore?"

Lin Sheng was stunned, "What?"

She turned slightly, "I just, suddenly remembered—"

Lin Sheng shook off the water on her hands, and said, "It's okay, I just want to get my studies done." She suddenly smiled, a little embarrassed, "My relationship is too difficult, you know Wen Ran, he is much better than me, I can no longer be proud in front of him."

Wen Ran found it hard to believe that someone like her would have such low self-esteem: "Lin Sheng."

Lin Sheng shook his hair, and suddenly smiled: "That's why I want to work hard to be excellent, so that that bastard can no longer be worthy of me, and let me forget him and find another good man."

Seeing her smug look, Wen Ran smiled knowingly and held her hand: "You will succeed."

In the morning, Wen Ran still went to the department to get the registration form for the GP project. It was a few thick pages, and she spent an afternoon filling it out in the library before finishing it.

Fan Yingze asked her curiously while arranging the bookshelves: "Teacher, I heard that this project is very rare. Are you sure you want to participate?"

She didn't raise her head: "Why, don't you have confidence in your teacher?"

Zhuangyuan Lang is an honest man: "A few days ago, you decided not to participate." He remembered that they went to tutor together that day, and when they talked about this issue on the way, Wen Ran said generously, "This single-plank bridge is so narrow. Just let them squeeze in."

Wen Ran was ashamed, this kid, he remembered these things clearly: "You will be your teacher and I will suddenly work hard."

Everyone who applied for the project had to attend an interview. When Wen Ran received the number, she felt a little worried.In this way, she is likely to face a person, Professor Liu Qiming.

Wen Ran still remembered that it was at the end of the first semester of senior year, their classes were full, and they even spent all night studying in the study room at night.At that time, Liu Qiming taught them a class that was not very important. Normally, it was an elective class, so it didn't matter if he didn't take it, but for some reason, he made it a compulsory class in the final exam. Yao Mianmian was one of a lot of students who suffered miserably.

That night she went to the office with Yao Mianmian to intercede with him. At first Liu Qiming listened to them in a mannered and amiable way, but at the end, his hand suddenly touched Yao Mianmian's thigh, rubbing it with a strong hint, and Yao Mianmian immediately froze. Once there, she, who had never seen such a scene, got excited, stood up and slapped Liu Qiming.

Afterwards, Yao Mianmian laughed and said that she had never seen her so passionate.Wen Ran also wondered why he was impulsive and offended Liu Qiming in the end.I didn't pass that subject, it was just a low-altitude flight, and the scholarship was gone.

After entering the interview classroom, Wen Ran breathed a sigh of relief.The interview teachers were Professor Zhang Yun from University A and Professor Li Ming from University B, namely Miejue Shitai.

Zhang Yun was a little surprised when he saw her, and nodded to her with a smile, Wen Ran responded nervously.

Miejue Shitai pushed her glasses expressionlessly and began to make things difficult for her. By the time Wen Ran finished the interview and came out, she had almost cut off half of her life.

"The teacher has become more and more merciless in recent years. I heard that in the last interview in the morning, there was a big boy who was forced to cry by him in public." After the interview, Wen Ran ran into Cheng Bei by chance. Listen to what Cheng Bei said,
"Sister Cheng Bei, are you also participating?"

Cheng Bei blinked proudly: "Of course, I don't want to see whose subordinates we are. By the way, Wen Ran, the boss is in the interview room in front. If you are lucky enough to be assigned to his examination room, maybe the boss I'll even give you water."

Wen Ran was a little embarrassed: "Sister Cheng Bei, don't talk nonsense."

"Shy girl?" Cheng Bei smiled narrowly, "I think the boss likes you very much, and he has raised you as a great disciple."

She was silent for a while, and quietly walked past the classroom where Ye Yizhen was.She tried hard to control herself not to look sideways, but from the corner of her eye she secretly took a rough look at the scene inside.The weather in December, although there is heating, is still terribly cold, but he only wears a white shirt with the cuffs still rolled up, looking clean and tidy.

In about a few seconds, she heard him ask calmly: "Student, please talk about your future life plan."

Planning, she couldn't help but be taken aback.What he said last night rang in his ears again. When he said he liked her, did it mean that he counted her into his future?

"Sister Cheng Bei." She suddenly called Cheng Bei to stop.

"Well, what happened?"

"What do you mean by like it?" she asked nervously.

Cheng Bei smiled and looked at her: "It means whatever you understand it to mean."

Wen Ran blushed, and hurriedly left with the book in her arms.Leaving Cheng Bei where he was, he smiled happily like a cat stealing fish.She also only encountered Ye Yizhen and Wen Ran in the office a few times by chance. The atmosphere, how should I put it, anyway, at that time, the boss was very relaxed and in a good mood.Now she was just guessing casually, but she didn't expect——

Xiao Wen Xuemei is really easy to deceive!Cheng Bei sighed, took out his phone from his pocket, and typed a line: Boss, Xuemei Xiaowen blushed when you were mentioned.

After the sending was successful, it took a few minutes for Ye Yizhen's reply to arrive. Cheng Bei couldn't wait to open it and read it. The smile on his face froze instantly, and he almost cried.The boss didn't say anything, just said: "The report at the end of the month will be delivered to me in advance next Tuesday."

This is the kind of retaliation that only a tutor can come up with, Cheng Bei is speechless.

Here, Ye Yizhen finished the interview with the last applicant, and rubbed the space between his brows wearily.Seeing Professor Liu Qiming playing with the photos on several application forms, he frowned slightly.

"Professor Ye, how about a drink?" Liu Qiming invited.

Ye Yizhen declined resolutely, turned his eyes slightly, landed on the empty corridor, and couldn't help but smile.Did he really think he couldn't see her? He still walked so fast.

Back at the office, Cheng Bei had fled in fear of crime.He put his coat on the edge of the sofa and sat at the computer desk.After only leaving for one afternoon, a few more emails popped up in the mailbox. In addition to some invitations to academic seminars, there were also several emails from GP.He rested his head gently on his hands, and didn't bother to look.

The phone suddenly remembered that he pressed the answer button, and it was the GP's assistant.

"Mr. Ye, the matter has been settled."

He hummed lightly and hung up the phone.Looking at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, he secretly laughed at himself, he had already begun to worry about the person before he could catch it.

Because many people in the New Year's Day holiday class had to go home, the International Trade Class held the New Year's Day party two days earlier, and the scene was not small.According to Fan Yingze's words, they have spent all the class fees they have accumulated for two years on this, and it is impossible to justify it.

But even though Fan Yingze had vaccinated before him, Wen Ran was deeply surprised when he arrived at the scene. This group of children is also very capable. They not only used all the activity classrooms in the college building that could be used, They also brought in those that were not available in the activity room.In her opinion, it was just an ordinary festival, but she didn't expect them to have such great enthusiasm.Wen Ran looked at Fan Yingze who was busy, and couldn't help sighing, "It's really capable!"

"Teacher Wen." A deep female voice came from behind.

She put her hands into her coat pockets and looked back, and saw Cheng Yu biting her lip and struggling: "What?" she asked softly, the smile on her face still lingering.

Cheng Yu bit her lip: "Teacher, do you like our monitor?"

Wen Ran almost fell down, she was afraid that the girl would ask such an embarrassing question, especially the word "like" in it, which made her blush when she heard it.However, in front of the students, the image still needs to be maintained.

She smiled slowly, and replied loudly: "I like it." Her voice was drawn out, and seeing that Cheng Yu had visibly weakened, she added with a smile, "But it's different from what you like."

"Teacher!" Cheng Yu stomped his feet pretending to be annoyed.

"I like him as a smart and diligent student, a kind and lovely junior." She looked at Fan Yingze's figure, who was sweating profusely at the moment, "What about you?"

"I don't know either." Cheng Yu lowered his head, "Anyway, I like him."

"Well, then don't chase after carelessly." She said kindly, but she froze there for a second when she said it.Can't help but smile wryly, it's one thing to put things on others, but it's another thing when it's your turn.

Wen Ran sat quietly in the back row watching them play, envious in her heart.She has always felt that she has grown up, past the age of madness and recklessness, and whenever her aunt comes to her home, she always praises her for being cute.Sitting here today, she just remembered that she is only 21 years old.

Be like a young man.This is what he told her, and she has always remembered it.
