Picking the stars

In the next period of time, Song Wei seemed to let go of some burden, smiled more and brighter than before.

Pei Ji was relatively slow, and it took several days to find out. She was preparing to propose, she would inevitably be embarrassed, afraid that she did not do well, but Song Wei made her feel that even if she did not do well, it didn't matter, she wouldn't blame her.

On the first night of December, they videod as usual.

Song Wei was not in the hotel, but in a quiet corridor. She was wearing a strapless dress. Pei Ji frowned as she watched: "Wear so little, you hurry up to a place with heating."

The corridors in the south are often not heated, and the weather in December is already very cold.

Song Wei smiled and said, "It's so hot inside. I sneaked out to get some air. I'll go back when it's cold."

Pei Ji didn't really want to accept this statement from her.

"Professor." Song Wei's eyes were bent and he told Pei Ji good news, "I will go home tomorrow, this time I will go home and stay for a week."

Pei Ji blinked slowly, and immediately, her face was full of surprises. There was a smile that could not be concealed in the eyes: "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

After speaking, he asked: "When do you arrive, I will pick you up."

After a short pause, he said, "What do you want to eat at night? I'll make it for you."

"There is a tour exhibition at the Art Museum on Wednesday, do you want to see it?"

"My colleague said that they would go to nearby ancient towns on Family Day on weekends. Would you like to go?"

"I will arrange the time, I want to be with you more."

At first, this person used a very calm tone and said nagging words. Gradually, he probably couldn't stretch himself, his smile was full, and his tone of voice rose slightly.

Song Wei's heart was hot and he answered Pei Ji's questions one by one: "I'm in the next city, and I'm back in Shen Zhizhou's car. You have to go to work tomorrow. You must work with peace of mind. I will wait for you at home."

Pei Ji thought for a while, thought it was feasible, and then thought about it, and her smile rendered the corners of her eyes and brows extraordinarily soft, and she seemed to be afraid that it would be empty and happy in the end, and confirmed with Song Wei: "It's really a week like this. Is it too much? You can't make a mistake, right?"

After all, she found it very difficult for one day, this time it was as long as a week, and she suddenly thought of many things to do with Song Er.

Although all she can think of is what she usually hears when she listens to her colleagues in small talks, it doesn't seem to be very interesting, but if it is with Song Er, she feels happy in everything she does.

Pei Ji's eyes brought tension that she hadn't noticed, for fear that Song Wei had made a mistake. In fact, it hasn't been as long as a week.

The professor was so excited that Song Er also laughed, and assured him: "Just one week, I can stay with the professor for a whole week."

I was also worried that the professor would feel delayed her work, and explained: "I have finished a big announcement, so there is a week holiday to take a break, there is nothing wrong with it."

Pei Ji was sure that it was right, and he let out a long sigh of relief. The excitement just now calmed down. She restored her usual calmness, but she opened her mouth, and the words were still wrapped in Pei Ji’s unique silence and gentleness: "I Await your return."

Song Er said, "Okay." He added silently in his heart, and he won't let the professor wait like this often in the future. They will spend more and more time together.

Early the next morning, Pei Ji went to work. Halfway through the meeting, someone from the jewelry store called her and delivered the ring she ordered.

Pei Ji suspended the meeting and went to sign for the receipt before continuing the meeting.

Everyone found that Professor Pei was in a particularly good mood after returning from a trip.

She didn't show much emotion, but compared with her usual indifference, it was obvious. At least, her tone of voice was much softer when she sat down again and said "continue".

So after get off work in the afternoon, the assistant stayed in the office for a while. After repeated hesitation, he asked nonchalantly: "Professor, do your friends and the people she like have any further?"

not yet. But soon. Pei Ji thought in his heart. She is very happy when people are happy, she would like to share with others, so the good news in advance should not be counted as lying.

"It's in." Pei Ji said without changing his face.

The assistant looked surprised.

He is not the closest person to Professor Pei, but he must be the one who has spent the most time with her in the past few years.

When he first came to the professor as an assistant, he had just graduated from his Ph.D., and suddenly he had such a cold and inaccessible boss. It was impossible not to be afraid. Every day was very worried, for fear that he would be scolded if he did not pay attention to doing something wrong. Got **** head.

Later, he discovered that even if he set the professor's beloved laboratory on fire, she would not be able to scold him. She would probably call the police directly to hold him criminally responsible, and then dismiss him indifferently.

She has no emotions, no laughs, no anger, no joy or sadness. She is like a high-IQ robot that can only do scientific research. She lives a routine life every day. Apart from the achievements in scientific research, she is like a pool of eternity. Unchanging stagnant water, lifeless.

The assistant has stayed with her for a long time, and with feelings, it is inevitable to worry about her.

It was not until about six months ago that he discovered that the life of the professor had changed.

Her schedule is no longer to fit her life without chaos, she often arrives late, goes home every afternoon, and no longer stays in the research institute after get off work. She occasionally stopped to look at the phone, sometimes frowned as if she was offended, sometimes laughed, and rarely, he saw the professor in a daze.

She became more and more like an ordinary person, with emotions and popularity, and learned the joys and sorrows in the world.

The assistant didn't know who made her make such a big change. Until the trip to Italy, Professor Pei asked him to arrange the itinerary, and he knew Miss Song's existence.

He was shocked at first, and then he felt nothing. Girls and girls were together. Although it was unexpected, for someone like Professor Pei who can't feel emotions, someone who can make her smile when she thinks of it, maybe this There is only one in my life, and if I can meet her, the other is not important.

When Professor Pei asked him with a friend of mine as the beginning, he knew that the friend was her. The professor probably didn't understand that there is a word called "No Shengyou", and thought he was hiding well.

What he considers is that Professor Pei must have no emotional experience in the past, and probably doesn't understand that further physical contact is a good way to promote feelings. So he mentioned it tentatively.

I didn't expect the professor to comprehend so quickly.

The assistant felt that if he continued on this topic, he would appear to be very wretched, so he smiled tacitly and said, "That's good."

After the assistant left, Pei Ji took out two ring boxes from the pockets of her coat, which she ordered after going to several jewelry stores. She opened it, and inside was a pair of identical diamond rings.

The style is very unique. Pei Ji has seen so many shops. Only this pair, she likes it at first sight. She wants the kitten to wear it, it will be very beautiful.

Pei Ji is full of expectations for this marriage proposal.

She is actually very nervous and uncertain.

But she still thinks Song Er will agree.

She put the ring away, opened the locked drawer underneath, and put it in. After thinking about it, he took it out again and put it in his pocket. She is going to L University for class in the afternoon. After class, she wants to go home directly. Song Er comes back today and she wants to go back to see her earlier.

The coat pocket was deep, but Pei Ji still reached in and touched the box several times, sometimes to make sure they were still there, sometimes just to miss Song Er.

Obviously she only got the pair of rings today, but she already felt that she had sustenance. Just touching the velvet surface of the box in her pocket made her heart throb, both nervous and full of expectation.

On the way Pei Ji went to class at L University, Song Wei also returned from the next city.

She took a ride on Shen Zhizhou.

Shen Zhizhou is going home to see her son today. She is as busy as Song Er and has not been home for a while.

She drove very steadily. After getting on the highway, Xianxin made a joke with Song Er: "When will Mr. Song give me a week off?"

Song Ye was sending a WeChat message to Pei Ji: "I'm leaving, and I can get home in two hours." She perfunctorily said: "Those who can do more."

Pei Ji replied: "Okay."

With such a short word, Song Er seemed to see the gentleness of the professor when he said "OK", she couldn't help but smile, and her eyes were full of joy about seeing her.

"A little conscience, can you justify me?" Shen Zhizhou complained.

Song Er put away the phone, raised his head and changed his face, and said solemnly: "You said it."

Shen Zhizhou was choked by her and didn't say anything. After a while, he said: "You have decided? Just cut down the announcements and stop picking up movies and TV shows."

"Yeah." Song Er said.

Shen Zhizhou sighed, still feeling a pity.

Not to mention the artists who became popular in those years, under normal circumstances, for an artist, the ascent period is very precious, which directly determines the upper limit of the artist's achievement, and the ascent period is often short, and it is almost two to three years.

Song Er decided to reduce the announcement, almost giving up half of it.

"The Spring Festival holiday, I want more than a week." Song Er suddenly remembered this incident and mentioned it. She was going to take the professor home, and she agreed that she would let the professor taste the dumplings made by her mother and give the professor the dumplings filled with coins.

Shen Zhizhou said angrily: "Okay, I see."

Song Wei was surprised when she spoke so well this time. He glanced at her and said, "Why don't you persuade me?"

"Can you persuade me?" Shen Zhizhou asked back.

Song Er stopped talking.

Shen Zhizhou slowed down and kept a safe distance from the car in front of him. After thinking for a while, he said, "Otherwise, I still think about it? You are only twenty-three, and Professor Pei is twenty-five, both young. You are still so in this life. Long, emotional and not eager for a while, young people always work harder in their careers, right?"

She also made sense, but the facts have proved that it is not applicable. Song Er thought carefully, she thought very clearly.

Before her eyes were regained, she had thought that with such a low success rate, if she failed, she would never see the professor again. She might as well give up the operation, be blind and be blind, be able to be by her side, and be able to guard her. , It is enough to be able to be called to the kitten by her softly.

But after her vision was restored, she returned to work, and the successive announcements made her unable to spend time with the professor. She also thought that they are still very long in this life, they are still young, don't worry, you can get along well.

And now it has been proven that some can adapt to falling in love at a distance, while others hope that day and night will not be separated. Both she and the professor belong to the latter.

That being the case, why bother to force yourself and to teach.

Nothing is more important than a professor.

Song Er didn't say this, only said: "I have decided."

Shen Zhizhou did not say any more.

She feels guilty to Song Er because of the incident that persuaded her to have an operation. She spoke righteously and rigorously at the time, and then after thinking and thinking, she always felt guilty. Everyone should decide their own life. But her words were mixed with selfishness, and it was almost a moral kidnapping.

So this time, she stopped interfering with Song Er and let her make her own life choices.

As the car was driving on the highway, the distance between Pei Ji and Song Ye was constantly shortening. According to the plan, they would be able to meet in two more hours at most.

Pei Ji was teaching the students. She rarely lost her mind in class for a moment. She wondered where Song Wei was, and wanted to do something in the evening.

In fact, as long as you can stay in the same space with Song Er, you can see each other if you look up, even if you stay at home all the time, it makes her feel happy from the bottom of her heart.

She was talking in class, and she couldn't help but press the coat pocket through her clothes, feeling the ring staying in her pocket securely.

Her gaze softened, thinking that the kitten would like it.

When there was still half an hour before get out of class was over, Song Wei went downstairs to their home.

Shen Zhizhou stopped the car and was about to exhort Song Er when his cell phone rang wildly. She made a gesture of waiting for Song Er, then picked it up, and only heard one sentence. Her eyes widened suddenly, staring at Song Er: "You have been photographed!"
