Picking the stars

"Why are you not talking anymore?" Song Er came out in a slightly complaining voice.

Pei Ji looked down at her.

Song Wei leaned against the head of the bed. She paused for a few seconds, and then asked, "Or do you find it difficult to make a choice?"

Pei Ji did not tell Song Er of her hesitation and embarrassment: "My answer is of no reference value to you."

Her voice is calm, but the content is very ruthless, as if to say that no matter what she chooses, it has nothing to do with Song Er.

Song Wei raised his head slightly, wanting to look at Pei Ji, but unfortunately there is no light in her eyes. The place where her eyes are directed is Pei Ji's chin: "Your answer is very valuable to me."

Her expression was a bit stubborn, as if Pei Ji had to make it clear.

What's amazing is that with some compelling words like this, Pei Ji didn't feel uncomfortable. Pei Ji just felt very embarrassed. She thought for a long time, but couldn't find suitable words to answer Song Er.

In the end, Song Yi gave in.

"If you don't answer, don't answer it. Anyway, if you don't want to say it, you will definitely not say it." Song Wei tried her best to make herself not look so disappointed, but she was clearly angry.

Pei Ji frowned and called out, "Song Er."

As if blaming her for being so emotional.

Song Er pursed his lower lip, lowered his head, and stubbornly refused to speak.

Pei Ji picked up the egg dish, turned and left. Hearing her step away, Song Wei felt very wronged in her heart. She was willing to talk to the professor about everything, but the professor refused to answer her even a hypothetical question.

"Good night." Pei Ji's voice came from not far away.

Song Wei didn't want to care about her, she was still angry, and she would lose face when she opened her mouth, but as a result, almost as soon as Pei Ji's voice fell, she responded to her: "Goodnight Professor."

Pei Ji opened the door, she walked out and closed the door again.

The sound of closing the door is not heavy, but it reverberates in the small bedroom. Song Wei sighed softly, she tried to persuade herself not to be angry with Pei Ji.

She thought, it's nothing. She likes professors, and of course she will share everything she wants with her. Professors don't like her, and of course they won't discuss with her too much.

They are not equal.

Thinking about it this way, she did not get angry, but she was even more sad.

Pei Ji left Song Er's bedroom. She disposed of the eggs and cleaned the kitchen utensils before going to the bathroom.

After taking a shower, the bathroom was full of steam.

Pei Ji was standing in front of the washbasin and brushing her teeth. She looked up and saw the mirror, which was covered with a vague mist. She wanted to wipe off the mist, but when her fingertips touched the mirror surface, she slowed down. When she reacted, she had already written Song on the mirror surface.

Song You's Song.

Pei Ji retracted her finger, and she blinked her eyes blankly, becoming more and more puzzled. The water vapor again fogged the mirror surface, and the Song character gradually became blurred.

Pei Ji raised his hand again, but stopped when his fingertips touched the mirror surface.

She quickly finished washing up, lay down on the bed, and closed her eyes.

After a while, she suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong. She took a look at her mobile phone, and it was only 22:07, more than two hours before her usual bedtime, but she was already lying in bed.

Pei Ji sat up, got out of bed, and walked to the study. Until she officially entered the working state, she walked like a thoughtless robot, mechanically made herself a cup of coffee, took a sip, and was scalded. When I reached the tongue, I mechanically forgot to be scalded, and took another sip mechanically, but I was burned to the tongue.

She had to put down the cup and calm herself down, but when she turned around, she became even more uncomfortable when she saw her shadow on the wall.

She thought of her shadow and Song Er's shadow resting her head on her head, and she thought of Song Er's shadow raising her face slightly, and her lips touched her.

This is just an optical phenomenon, but the distance and angle of the light source are relatively coincidental, and the shadow touch situation is formed.

This is a very scientific thing.

After Pei Ji explained it to himself, it was a little better.

The next morning, Pei Ji successfully called Song Er out of bed and supervised her to eat breakfast. Song Weixi didn't say anything to Pei Ji.

Song Wei didn't say anything when he sent Pei Ji out.

Pei Ji only thought she was still angry, so he proactively said to her, "Goodbye."

Song Er only bends the corners of his lips: "Bye bye."

Her smile was short, she almost disappeared after speaking.

A hint of worry flashed in Pei Ji's eyes. She wanted to talk to Song Er again to make Song Er not angry, but the farewell words had already been said.

"Professor?" Song Wei asked suspiciously, "Aren't you going to work?"

Pei Ji replied: "Go." Then he looked at Song Ye motionlessly.

Song Er never heard the footsteps of her leaving, so he asked again: "Has the work schedule changed? Work time has been postponed?"

"No." Pei Ji said.

After speaking, she took a solemn look at Song Er and then left.

Soon after arriving at the institute, Pei Ji received a call from a foreign university that wanted to hire her as a visiting professor for a half-year academic exchange.

Knowledge monopoly, knowledge barriers have always existed. Many technologies are independent of each other and are not shared among countries, and even research institutes in the same country.

There are several viruses that are hard to come into contact with that university. Pei Ji has always been interested. She almost wanted to agree immediately, but she thought of the kitten at home and asked about the specific date.

The other party said that this grand academic exchange can begin in half a month.

Half a month later... If Song Er chooses surgery, then half a month later, she has just received the operation and still needs some time to recuperate. If she does not undergo surgery, it is not a good choice for her to change the environment when her eyes are invisible.

Pei Ji hesitated.

"If your time is okay, our school will give you a formal invitation and appointment letter." said in English on the other side of the phone.

Pei Ji refused.

The other party looked very surprised, but did not say anything to death, suggesting that she reconsider.

Pei Ji suddenly thought of what Song Er said last night that if her eyes remain invisible, it will cause her trouble, and she will annoy her one day.

The rejection of the invitation from that university was indeed because of Song Er. Although Pei Ji had regrets, he did not think that Song Er had caused her trouble.

Because there will be opportunities.

When the situation stabilizes, they can always find a way to take care of Song Er and take care of her work.

What makes Pei Ji more uneasy now is that Song Wei is unhappy, and when she sends her out in the morning, she doesn't really want to talk to her.

Pei Ji thinks it is necessary to make Song Yi happy.

When he got off work at noon, Pei Ji went to the cafeteria to buy food. On the way there, he received a call from Song Er.

It was very hot at noon in summer, and Pei Ji stood in the shade of a tree to answer Song Er's call.

The voice of someone talking on Song Er's side, but it was not noisy, but some deliberately lowered it, seemed to be worried about disturbing Song Er's phone call.

Pei Ji said, "Where are you?"

"My parents have returned to China, and I will pick them up at the airport." Song Wei said on the phone. Her voice was a little careless, as if she was doing two things, talking on the phone with Pei Ji while listening to others.

Pei Ji almost forgot that Song Nei still had his parents. At this time, hearing that Song Nei’s parents had returned to China, she thought about it and asked, "Would you like to receive it?"

Song Wei seemed to be amused by her statement, and her tone was lighter: "No. I'll stay with them. I won't go home tonight."

Pei Ji said: "Okay."

Then Song Wei said softly to her on the phone: "Goodbye Professor."

Pei Ji also said, "Goodbye."

The phone was hung up.

Pei Ji stood in the shade of the tree, without a trace of wind, it was suffocatingly hot. Pei Ji stood there for a while, hesitating between his cold eyebrows.

Because of Song Er, she had to go home at noon.

But no need for today.

Pei Ji's law was broken again, and she felt very unwell. In addition, there were some feelings that she was unfamiliar and could not say.

She stood in the shade for a while and walked to the cafeteria.

In order to avoid the discomfort after the rule was broken, she decided that even if Song Er was not at home, she would pack food from the cafeteria and go home to eat.

Song Er is in the VIP parking area at the airport. She was sitting in the car with Shen Zhizhou beside her.

It was Shen Zhizhou who was talking to the driver just now.

The air-conditioning in the car was too low, it was a bit cold. Shen Zhizhou reminded the driver to raise the temperature a bit, but it was still a bit cold.

Song Er opened the car window.

She was a little nervous and asked, "What time is the flight? Why hasn't it come out yet?"

Shen Zhizhou glanced at his watch and said, "It should have come out as expected, it may be late."

Song Er didn't say anything.

After a while, two footsteps and the sound of the wheels of the trunk came from outside the car. Song Wei's nerves were tense. She thought that her parents had arrived, so she sat up a little bit.

"Is it Song Er?" a young female voice came.

"Yes, yes!" The voice of another girl followed.

They are all a little excited.

Song Wei was stunned for a while before realizing that he had met a fan.

She hadn't been in contact with fans for five months, and when she heard the fans' excited voices, she felt that the scene was a bit strange.

Shen Zhizhou has got out of the car to negotiate with the fans.

"Can we ask Xiaoyou to sign it?" The girl's timid voice sounded outside the car.

Shen Zhizhou is already very familiar with this situation. She apologized and said, "I'm sorry..."

Song Er interrupted her: "It's okay."

Shen Zhizhou was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at her disapprovingly.

The two girls said excitedly: "It's great! Thank you Xiao You!"

They began to overturn their bags and found the paper and pen. They did not directly give it to Song Er, but handed it to Shen Zhizhou with both hands.

Song Er wears sunglasses, so that no one will notice the strangeness in her eyes, but she can't see it, and she needs Shen Zhizhou to help her sign.

Shen Zhizhou obviously thought of this. Without Song Er calling her, he went back to the car and sat down, unfolded the paper, put the pen into Song Er's hand, and directed Song Er to the piece of paper that could be signed. Tell her softly in her ear how to sign.

The two signatures were quickly completed. The fans waited outside the car obediently. Shen Zhizhou got out of the car and handed them the signature and pen. The two fans jumped on the spot with joy and were extremely excited: "So happy We were always worried about Xiaoyou, but now that Xiaoyou is well, we are relieved!"

Shen Zhizhou said with a smile: "Xiao You's itinerary needs to be kept confidential. I hope you don't post the incident that you met her today on social networks."

The fan nodded vigorously: "We know, absolutely not to say."

Hearing their voices, Song Ye felt cordial and beautiful.

"You have to come on! Come back to us as soon as possible! We will always wait for you to come back!" a girl boldly said to the car.

Song Er tried to keep her face calm, she turned sideways and waved in the direction of the car window.

The two girls got more excited, but didn't stay longer, and soon bid them farewell politely and left.

"The quality of your fans is really hard to come by. After so many times of support, whether it is order or politeness, it is very good. Even this kind of encounter can control emotions." Shen Zhizhou sighed and said with a smile, "You are so lucky. , There are such warm and caring fans. Even for them, cheer up!"

Song Wei closed the car window and said, "Yeah."

Shen Zhizhou thought for a while, then smiled and said, "You won't blame me for telling your uncles and aunts. But you are about to have an operation, so you can't tell them, and after your operation, you have to have a family member to take care of you. ."

The sunglasses stood on the bridge of the nose, which was a bit heavy. Song Er felt very uncomfortable. She took off the sunglasses and said calmly, "I don't have an operation."

Shen Zhizhou's smile solidified.

The zhi in the community tweeted one after another. Pei Ji got out of the car and went upstairs with the takeaway box.

She opened the door and walked in. The house was empty and no one greeted her. Pei Ji paused for a while at the entrance, changed his shoes, went to the restaurant, and put down the takeaway box.

She still bought two servings, even two servings of rice.

She didn't know why, she knew that Song Er was not here today, but she still bought an extra copy.

Pei Ji knew that this was wrong and it was wasteful, so he put one of them away and decided to heat it up for dinner in the evening.

After dinner, she went to the living room and saw the guitar on the sofa.

In the past few days, Song Yi sometimes picked up a tune with his guitar and sometimes hummed a few melody. But most of the time when Pei Ji is not at home, whether the guitar sound or softly humming, it often stops at the moment Pei Ji opens the door, and then no longer sounds.

Pei Ji guessed that it was because Song Wei was worried about quarreling her.

But she actually didn't mind Song Ye making a sound next to her. Because when Pei Ji is focused, he will automatically block irrelevant sounds from the outside world. Song Er actually doesn't need to be so formal.

She sat down on the sofa, stretched out her hand and plucked a few strings, and the guitar made a few simple sounds, which were not nice. Pei Ji has no musical cells.

Her eyebrows softened, she withdrew her hand, and just sat quietly. After a while, she remembered something, and her soft brows gradually became worried.

Song Er won't be back tonight, will she come again in the future?

Pei Yi entrusted Song Nei to her because Song Nei had no one to take care of her, but now that her parents are here, does Song Nei still need her to take care of it?

Thinking of this problem, Pei Ji suddenly felt restless.
