Dust sleeps in light years

Chapter 24

Yang Ke left, and Qiu He didn't know whether Xue Tao was crying that day, because she didn't go back to the dormitory until the lights were turned off at night.Towards the end of the semester, Xue Tao's parents came to Beijing to visit Yang Yuntian, firstly to thank the teacher for his long-term cultivation, and secondly to help Xue Tao choose a postgraduate tutor after his postgraduate study.

Yang Yuntian repeatedly praised Xue Tao for his excellent performance as an assistant in the research institute, and expressed his willingness to take Xue Tao with him in the future.But because Xue Tao can only be sent to the art department where she is an undergraduate, but because Yang Yuntian is a professor of the philosophy department, he is beyond his reach, so he negotiated with her parents to wait for her to apply for a transfer in the second year of graduate school.In fact, Xue Tao's parents couldn't even figure out the basic procedures of insurance research. They came to see the teacher just out of courtesy, and naturally they all listened to Xue Tao's own decision.

But after the teacher apprenticeship ceremony was over, her parents breathed a sigh of relief, but Xue Tao kept sullen and sighed, but tried his best to let it go, not wanting to be noticed.After having dinner with Yang Yuntian and several other student assistants in the institute, she sent her parents back to the guest house, and walked back to the dormitory very slowly, as if she had walked her whole life.

When dating Yang Chrome half-truthfully, Yang Yuntian only thought they were good friends, treating her as a student and a family member, and asked her to visit his house a few times during the holidays.The teacher cooks by himself, while Yang Rue and Xue Tao help knead the dough and beat the eggs. It really looks like a family.The teacher's wife is a painter who lives in France, and she doesn't often visit her relatives, and Yang Rue sometimes inadvertently reveals that they have a bad relationship.The speaker is not interested in the listener, and perhaps too many details add fuel to the flames, making people sink deeper and deeper, from a few jokes at the beginning to unrealistic fantasies in their hearts.

He is personable, he is knowledgeable, and his relationship with his wife is weak, so what does it have to do with him?Xue Tao is Xue Tao, no matter how hard he wants to be, no matter how thoroughly he transforms himself, he will never forget who he is and where he comes from.

It's just that Yang chrome is gone, there's no longer any reason to steal a little delusion in the role of pretending to be his family.And from now on, he has really become a teacher that cannot be imagined, and he is just a student, a position that is very outstanding in his eyes but can only be a student.

After graduation, she can find a good job, find a man with considerable financial strength, who is three or four years older than herself, live a petty bourgeois life, honor her parents, and be extremely happy, but she has no interaction with him at all.

She raised her head to look at the darker tree shadows in the background of the shimmering sky, her nose was sore, but she didn't cry, took a deep breath, and looked back at the road ahead.A girl stood at the corner of the dormitory building. She wore a tea-brown hooded cardigan over her autumn-green pajamas. She smiled slightly and said hello, but she just waved her wallet and green tea in her hand: "I just came back from buying a drink. Let's go up together. Are your parents settled down?"

In Xue Tao's knowledge, Qiu He would never walk ten meters from the dormitory building in pajamas, and he clearly went downstairs when he saw Xue Tao walking from a distance upstairs.But Xue Tao didn't expose it, and seemed to understand her starting point.

Recalling that when I first entered school in freshman year, I was not used to it. I plunged into the group of western-style and cheerful metropolitan girls. I was out of place, but I couldn’t find the difference. Everyone is talking about themselves.From time to time, it is obvious that the laughter coming from far and near is directed at me, and I think about the dress secretly, but I don't think there is anything wrong.

Until one day when he passed by the Triangle Land, someone slapped his schoolbag heavily from behind. Xue Tao turned his head in surprise, and saw Qiu He, who was half a head shorter than himself, raised his face and asked with a smile: "Hey, the office building of the Department of Physics knows how Are you going?" Seeing that she was dressed stylishly and confidently, Xue Tao doubted that she was not a freshman, but he still showed her the way, and after thanking her, she went back and hooked a boy and headed there.

It was not until a long, long time later that Xue Tao knew why she came to ask for directions to the office building of the Department of Physics.The person who was with her at the time—recalling later—was obviously Ye Xuan, a student of the Department of Physics.Xue Tao came back to his senses, quickened his steps a few steps, replied "It's settled", and went upstairs with Qiu He.It is undeniable that sometimes when walking with Qiu He, the mood will suddenly calm down.

[Eight]
A few days later, the academic affairs teacher took the initiative to call Qiu He: "Your general elective course has been cancelled, and the grades of the professional courses have been changed back for you. Come and print the transcript yourself." Through the medium of the phone, I can still feel to her anger.

During the whole process, the academic affairs staff threw the materials that needed to be signed in front of her every time.Qiu He pretended to be nothing, and obediently signed and printed the report card, showing the seriousness of a good student, and finally said very respectfully: "Thank you teacher." I couldn't help but call her back: "You wrote that complaint letter, right? With which eye do you see that I am taking favors and favoring others? Do you know how much trouble you will cause others if you are so irresponsible?"

Qiu He seemed to be distracted. He was stunned for a long time before saying: "Ah? What did you just say?" The academic affairs repeated it louder, almost shouting: "I said: 'Do you know that you are so irresponsible? , How much trouble it will cause to others!'" Teachers and teaching assistants from several other offices, as well as students lining up outside the door, looked in this direction one after another.Qiu He turned his back to the door, his expression remained unchanged, and he answered her at a normal speed and volume: "I have always known, but now you know, teacher."

For the next two weeks, Qiu He was busy filling in the various forms and stamping the paperwork. It was really difficult to do something in this school. Often, one department drove people to another department, and that department claimed that they had nothing to do. Right to ask; some teachers don’t go to work in the morning, some teachers don’t go to work in the afternoon, some teachers always have endless meetings, some teachers don’t know the date of return from business trips in other places, and some teachers promise that they won’t post at [-] o’clock until [-] o’clock I received a text message saying that I will not be at school today, and some teachers have been unable to reach them, and they always let a bunch of students sit on the sofa in the corridor and waste their time day by day... Guo Shujie, who was deeply hurt by this, said: "I am curious how many students have been interviewed in the past. A student who had a nervous breakdown before."

Xue Tao, who was also deeply affected by it, said with emotion: "When I entered university, I always felt that I was an individual talent. When I left university, I realized that it is not bad to have someone treat you as an individual."

For the two expert recommendation letters required for the postgraduate application, one was written by Qiu He from the film history teacher, and the other was written by the department chair.The progress of the graduate school in this school is ahead of the graduate school in other schools, so the day she went to the dean of the department was the interview day for the graduate students in the department, and the dean asked her to help organize the lottery at the door.The few students who came early did not meet the standard attire, and were all driven back by the counselor to change their clothes before coming back.Then, Qiu He saw the first girl who was walking towards her wearing a white shirt, black A-line skirt, and black leather shoes.

Xue Tao has exquisite facial features, wheat complexion, and no flaws in her figure. Although the texture of the clothes is not so good, she is by no means the same as her freshman year.She randomly pulled out the envelope containing the questions from Qiu He's hand, and went straight into the small meeting room for the interview without hesitation.

The first time I saw her, it was as early as centuries ago.At noon that day, the Love Society set up a platform in Triangle to raise donations to help the stray cats flooding the campus. Qiu He was pulled by Ye Xuan to help Chen Yan distribute leaflets, but Chen Yan didn't have the consciousness of being the president at all, and was exposed by the sun. After getting dizzy, he began to complain loudly to the members: "Cats are the most insidious, indifferent and selfish animals. What can I do to help them? Even humans can't help them these days..."

Chen Yan's remarks provoked a burst of laughter, but Qiu He noticed that some people's laughter was not here. Following their gazes, Qiu He saw the girl passing by, and it was her schoolbag that made people laugh. Although JanSport is not a big name, it is well-known, but this schoolbag is so badly copied that it was printed as JanSbort.Qiu He looked at the girl herself. She didn't have the temperament of a big city girl. She didn't even know that JanSport was a brand.For some reason, Qiu He was suddenly angry at the laughter, turned around and threw ten yuan into the donation box of the Love Society, took a red heart-shaped commemorative foam sticker, and patted it on the letter.

Xue Tao was a freshman at that time.

When Qiu He participated in the H University’s postgraduate interview in Shanghai at the beginning of his senior year, he looked at the two college students waiting in the corridor from all over the world who were excluded from the H University’s source of students—almost all of them were the top three high-achieving students from prestigious universities— All dressed in T-shirts, jeans, and sneakers, sitting on the floor reciting the materials while seizing the last bit of time, I could only smile wryly with sympathy.

Calling his alma mater all day long did not treat himself as a human being, but at least the basic etiquette of being a social person was taught.

On the first day of Qiuhe's return to school, there was a thunderstorm, and he came out of the indoor gymnasium without an umbrella. He waited for the rain to stop at the door, but saw the students rushing out bravely one by one, and they all rushed towards the west area where the dormitory was located.Qiu Heben is not a person who likes to join in the fun, but he is drawn by some mysterious force.Something happened to the Second Teaching, and countless people gathered in front of the building despite the rain.She ran over quickly, struggling to push through the crowd.Everything in the field of vision is deduced into a lengthy slow motion.familiar scene.Familiar young faces chattered around.A familiar cordon cordoned off the building's entrance.And the boy who lost control of his emotions and was rushing in despite the police's obstruction was the boy she was most familiar with, Ye Xuan.The rainwater fell in sinuous lines along the outer wall of the teaching building, and pressed the wet hair tightly to the cheek.Qiu He stared blankly at the pitch-black entrance, unable to even breathe freely.She already knew who the deceased was this time.

There is more than that already known - she will receive another letter, because she, Qiuhe, is the "chosen one".Everything started because of her.
