Chapter 30 #30: Good night, Mu Qiu

The next morning, Su Muqiu got up early in the morning, washed up, waited for a while, and even ran to knock on the door every now and then. It was getting brighter, but Ye Xiu never woke up.

Ye Xiu's office notebook and a stack of documents were placed on the table in the living room. Presumably, he also had a premonition that he might not be able to get up, so he prepared the things in advance and left a note for explanation.What can Su Muqiu say, he was the one who persuaded people to sleep last night, is it possible that he wants to break down the door and call people up?He turned on the phone to find the file, compared the information in his hand, and determined that it was just some things that needed to be entered that were not completed, so he typed quickly, click, click, click, wishing that he had three heads and six arms.Fortunately, Ye Xiu sensed Su Muqiu's great resentment, and finally got up, and the two of them worked together, and finally finished sending before the time.

At this time, the sky was bright, and the two of them went downstairs to eat some buns and steamed buns, then hurried to the school and parted at the gate.

Unfortunately, Su Muqiu's class was quite full that day because several teachers made up lessons and adjusted the schedule at this time. He kept running back and forth between classrooms and teaching buildings. Going to be a coolie, so busy that I can't even drink my saliva.

I thought the situation would get better after noon, but I didn't expect to be so busy.At the end of the time, all the teachers were handing out handouts in extra classes, and some lecturers were not familiar with the students, so they asked someone to hand out handouts and test papers, and the first one called "Student Su Muqiu"—who made him No.1, teachers, please read more I remembered the name after a few glances, and mentioned it to him casually, saying that the final paper he handed in in advance was very good, but it could be better, and I will revise it when I go back. The teacher is looking forward to it.

Some juniors and sisters even came to him with books in their hands, asking him where to start reviewing the key points drawn by a certain teacher. Su Muqiu borrowed the book, and almost fainted when he opened it up. It seems that apart from tearing apart the entire book, including the cover and back cover, it is impossible to guess the exam questions at all.

He hadn't been this busy for a while, and if it wasn't for his excellent quality, he would definitely have lost his temper on the spot.

In the middle of the two big classes in the afternoon, Su Muqiu had a break of nearly an hour and a half. He sat down at random, and heard the broadcast. The school did not know what the wind was, and asked the students who had no class to gather in the auditorium to play a promotional film.Su Muqiu just stuffed two mouthfuls of food into his mouth, now it's done, and he has to go to work again, he sighed.

The auditorium was well air-conditioned, and the light was half-dimmed to play the video, so Su Muqiu came late, so he groped to sit down in the corner near the back.He looked up and saw that there were only a few people sitting in the huge auditorium, so it was not mandatory to attend?I was so busy that I didn't notice... Just as I was about to sneak out, I saw a teacher guarding the door with eagle-like eyes. It was obviously a big trap that I couldn't get in.Some people came in one after another, and after finding out that they could be absent, they were basically the same as Su Muqiu's first reaction. They were very regretful and could only admit that they were unlucky.

There was a person on the stage who was reading the promo according to the script. After the end, there was a burst of applause. The person didn't mind and started showing the film.

Almost as soon as the first sound came out, the lower part immediately fell asleep, which was more effective than any hypnosis.Su Muqiu also planned to sleep with him, to rest his mind for the next class, squinting his eyes and half dreaming and half awake.A few minutes after the video was played, someone walked into the auditorium. There are so many places, so what's wrong with it, they just saw the corner on Su Muqiu's side, and sneaked in.The light was dim, and that buddy accidentally bumped into a few people, causing many people to wake up from their sleep. He quickly apologized softly, and the drowsy Su Muqiu was startled, staring at the sound in surprise.

Teacher Ye, who woke up several people all the way, sat down next to him and took a big breath.

"Hey, Mu Qiu. It's a good thing you're here."

"Ye Xiu? What are you doing here?" Su Muqiu asked in a low voice.

Ye Xiu leaned over and whispered in Su Muqiu's ear, "Come to ask if you're free on Saturday."

Su Muqiu rubbed his burning ears, thinking that it's great that it's so dark here.

"Saturday?"

"The seminar we rushed to hand in the materials in the morning is in S City. Are you interested?"

"...Why don't you send text messages?"

"I sent it, but you didn't reply."

Su Muqiu was busy all morning, and completely forgot about the existence of the mobile phone. When Ye Xiu mentioned it, he quickly took out the mobile phone, and indeed saw a new text message: Mu Qiu, are you free on Saturday? City S, do you want to go?The time is 11:30 am.

"Sorry, I was too busy, so I didn't see it." Su Muqiu apologized, "I'm free... By the way, why don't you ask me later in the evening?"

"The organizer is responsible for the transportation. If you want to apply for insurance, you have to submit a form, and the deadline is today..."

Su Muqiu had a subtle premonition: "Then you fill out some form..."

Ye Xiu raised a mysterious smile, took out a piece of paper folded into the size of a palm from his breast pocket, and spread it out. It was a brand new blank application form.Teacher Ye said regretfully that as people get older, their night vision ability will decline, so he put a pen and paper into Su Muqiu's hand and asked him to fill it out quickly, and Ye Xiu had to fax it after he got out.

Su Muqiu had no choice but to write slowly under the weak light.

The boring movie continued, and the students in the auditorium were all asleep. Ye Xiu was still watching it engrossed, and he made complaints from time to time, but he quieted down after a while, probably fell asleep.Su Muqiu was writing personal information, facing the column of current residence, trying to recall the address of Ye Xiu's house, his shoulders suddenly felt heavy.

He looked down, Ye Xiu was leaning on him crookedly, his eyes were closed tightly, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was an inconspicuous bruise under his eyes.Ye Xiu is also very busy these days, preparing lessons, giving lectures, adding lessons, grading papers, faculty meetings, seminars... If he is not watching, it will probably be until three o'clock every day.

"Ye Xiu?"

Su Muqiu yelled a few times, Ye Xiu frowned and shrank his neck.Su Muqiu adjusted his posture so that Ye Xiu could lean against his shoulder, took off the glasses on Ye Xiu's nose, and gently smoothed his bangs with his fingertips.He stared at the other party quietly, then lowered his head and continued to fill out the form.

On Saturday, the two took a rickety ride for more than an hour, and finally arrived in S City.

The venue of this seminar was at University F. The organizer sorted out the materials submitted by the participants in advance, typeset and printed them into a volume, and everyone kept a copy, which was classified according to the nature of the theme and content. The materials sent by Ye Xiu were placed in the front.In this seminar, participants came to the stage to simply talk about the materials, opinions, and opinions they submitted, predict the development of the computer field, or like Ye Xiu, directly put forward a few novel concepts, and the academic atmosphere was strong.

This kind of internal exchange seminar, without a certain weight, there is no chance to be invited to participate. The people present are all real experts. Many ideas made Su Muqiu's eyes brighten. He wanted to hold his notebook and practice it on the spot. Fan.Recording and video recording were prohibited in the venue, so Su Muqiu copied his notes. Ye Xiu, who was next to him, saw him and just laughed at him: "Don't waste your energy here, the focus is on the back."

"What's next?" Su Muqiu didn't know, so according to the schedule, after the seminar was over, it was just a buffet, and there were no other activities.

That night, Su Muqiu realized why Ye Xiu said that participating in this seminar was far more important than his reviewing for the exam.

After the meeting is a small reception, which provides a simple buffet for the guests to eat and chat, get to know each other by the way, and promote the common development of the field.

Everyone moved to another venue according to the guidance. On the way, Su Muqiu went to the bathroom. He didn't go with Ye Xiu. When he stepped into the reception venue a few minutes late, he felt as if he had stepped into a different world...

The masters who were speaking in a serious manner on the stage just now changed into greasy smiles at the same moment, and they were drinking wine, talking elegantly, dressing decently, and pretending to be full marks.Dresses like Ye Xiu's are rare in school, but in this small venue, it would be weird if not dressed like that, and even a bit poor—these people inadvertently raised their hands to reveal million-dollar watches, pure gold tie clips, Sapphire cufflinks, compared to the nouveau riche with gold bars and big gemstone rings hanging outside, this group of civilized people fully demonstrated what it means to be a low-key show.

Su Muqiu glanced and immediately found Ye Xiu in the crowd.

In fact, his presence is quite conspicuous.

Ye Xiu stood there casually, surrounded by a group of people, discussing some irrelevant topics, while the surrounding people pretended to be casual, sneaking glances at Ye Xiu's direction, as if they would squeeze in as soon as someone vacated their seats Toast to Ye Xiu.Among the people who were trying to hide their flattery, Ye Xiu's face was indifferent, his interest faded, and he was a little detached.

After making sure that he couldn't squeeze into the encirclement at all, Su Muqiu walked around the venue, took some food, sat aside and ate.

A student with a work permit came over, handed him a glass of champagne, and greeted him with a smile.

Su Muqiu still remembered this person. He was an F college student who was in charge of entertaining him and Ye Xiu. He responded appropriately, and when they met, he smiled and introduced himself, "Hello, both of you. I'm Jiang Botao."It's a pity that I'm from the Department of Computer Science. It's a shame not to study diplomacy.

"Hi Senior Su. Don't worry, this is non-alcoholic."

"Hello, Brother Jiang."

"Senior, just call me Xiaojiang."

Jiang Botao waved his hands, showing a sly expression of "Let me tell you a secret": "Senior Su, let me tell you something. Today's meals are all made on-site by the chef hired by us from a five-star hotel." Jiang Botao spread his hands , "It's a pity that no one eats. Which dish do you think is delicious? I will secretly pack a copy later."

Su Muqiu laughed, feeling that the topic of this person's conversation was quite unique.

“Crabs are good and fresh.”

"Of course it's fresh." Jiang Botao smiled wryly. "They were still alive and kicking before serving the table. I can assure you of this...Two hours ago, I was still in the kitchen helping to catch this pile of crabs trying to escape."

This little Jiang was really good, and he started chatting in a few minutes, with a natural tone, as if they had known each other for many years.Su Muqiu was fine anyway, and was happy to cooperate, chatting casually, and occasionally glanced in Ye Xiu's direction to see how he was doing.

Jiang Botao noticed Su Muqiu's gaze: "Senior Su is a student of Ye Xiu?"

"Ah."

"He should value you very much!"

Su Muqiu was taken aback, not understanding how these two things were related.

The question on his face was too sincere, Jiang Botao explained: "Because he changed his mind to participate and brought you here... Every year, some people say that compared to the seminar, the after party is the highlight. You know this something?"

Su Muqiu thought for a while: "He said that the key point is later."

"In the computer field, all the important people you can think of, or the mentors of the important people, are now in this venue." Jiang Botao was about to explain, when someone in front of him accidentally knocked over his wine glass, spilling champagne all over the floor. He apologized to Su Muqiu and rushed over to deal with it.

Although Jiang Botao didn't finish his sentence, Su Muqiu already had a vague guess.He took a sip of champagne, looked up consciously, and met Ye Xiu's gaze, who was waving at him.Standing in front of his teacher was an old gentleman with a gentle face, dressed in an iron-gray suit, and his silver-white hair was neatly combed.

When Su Muqiu walked over, he heard the old gentleman standing upright sigh: "Xiaoye, I didn't expect you to come this year. I heard that you declined the invitation in mid-August. I thought I had no chance to see you again... "

Ye Xiu smiled: "Mr. Shen, I see that you are very energetic, and you will meet each other in the next ten years. Compared with being defeated by you on the stage like the first time you participated in a seminar, you have done your best. You fool, I wish you were a little more confused."

The gentleman whom Ye Xiu called Old Shen laughed loudly, then turned his head and stared straight at Su Muqiu with dignified and introverted eyes: "This is your student?"

"Yes. His name is Su Muqiu."

Su Muqiu raised a gentle smile, greeted him respectfully, and met Shen Laoruo's substantively oppressive gaze without being humble or overbearing, without evasiveness or evasion.

The latter looked at it for a while, and finally smiled with satisfaction. For a while, Su Muqiu broke into a cold sweat.

"Yes, Not Bad."

Ye Xiu patted Su Muqiu on the shoulder: "There is nothing else about a person, that is, young people can endure hardships, and their brains are not bad, only a little worse than mine. If Mr. Shen is busy with anything, you can ask him to help you at any time."

Mr. Shen hummed and laughed out loud, "You're taking jobs for your students so soon?"

"Anyway, he has a lot of time. Instead of letting his head get rusty, it's better to be more active."

"If he's half as good as you, I'll be fine. Tell me, what has he done?"

Ye Xiu didn't change his face: "Aren't you very interested in the new concept I proposed at the meeting? He is my assistant."

Su Muqiu was dripping with cold sweat, he was just helping to input the data into the computer...

"Oh?" Old Shen smiled, "Well... I plan to open several large-scale projects next year, and there will probably be a shortage of people at that time, so you ask him to participate, and I will inform the following to give him a chance to try his hand. .”

Ye Xiu nodded and said with a smile that he would not disappoint you.

Mr. Shen replied that it would be great: "Of course, if you finally get tired of teaching, you must come to my place first, and you are welcome anytime! Definitely! Don't imitate your teacher. Lao Zhang just goes to play with numbers and just do research." , boring."

"It can't be said that, computers and mathematics are inseparable."

The two chatted until the old man knocked on his leg and had a cup of tea break, and then they separated. Ye Xiu's originally very standard upright posture collapsed, and he immediately changed from a pine tree with a crooked neck to a tree with a crooked neck. Leaning against Su Muqiu, muttering in a low voice, ouch, my waist is sore and my legs are hurting.

"It's the first time I've seen you talk like this..." Su Muqiu thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of an adjective, "... respectful?"

"It should. If you have the opportunity to help him there in the future, you have to behave well and don't embarrass me."

"Who is that gentleman?" Su Muqiu turned his head to look, and saw that old gentleman was sipping tea from a cup, looking relaxed, no one wanted to talk to him, and he didn't fit in with the other people who were soliciting connections.

"You don't know?" Ye Xiu was puzzled for a while, and suddenly realized, "No one should recognize him... He is from the National Information Center. You are lucky to run into him today, the incumbent of F University The principal is his friend, so he came over for tea."

He is a big man at the leadership level!Su Muqiu was shocked, he was introduced just now, didn't he?

After that, Ye Xiu took Su Muqiu around non-stop, introducing him to various people.On the surface, Su Muqiu was impeccable, respectful and polite, but in reality he was out of his mind, still immersed in the six golden characters of the National Information Center. After a long time, he came to his senses, and unconsciously he had already collected business cards in his hand. He is a well-known big shot, and he has gathered all walks of life.

During the period, of course, some people came up to get close to Ye Xiu, recommending themselves or the people they brought to Ye Xiu.Only then did Su Muqiu understand why Ye Xiu was looking for business cards everywhere a while ago, and it turned out that he needed to use them at this time. Su Muqiu was very glad that he found a spare one from the study at that time, instead of just printing it out on A4 paper and cutting it according to Ye Xiu's wishes. one cut.

After walking around for a while, Su Muqiu looked at the time, and suddenly pulled Ye Xiu aside, took some non-greasy food, and asked him to eat first.

Ye Xiu sat down cooperatively, and slowly ate the red bean paste buns. Just as he frowned, Su Muqiu got up and asked for a glass of warm water, which he placed next to him: "Too dry? Drink some water."

"Eat slowly, no one will fight with you..."

"Have you chewed yet? Let me count, one, two, three, four, five, six, and you just swallowed it?" Su Muqiu opened the phone notepad, stuffed it under Ye Xiu's eyes, and listed dozens of items densely on it. It is clearly written about chewing and swallowing twenty times slowly, eating regularly, quantitatively and frequently, which is more detailed than a game guide.

Ye Xiu was a little pissed, neither eating nor swallowing.

"Mu Qiu, instead of caring about my food and drink, why don't you care about these rare people present, and consider the well-being of two, five, or ten years from now?"

Su Muqiu: "It is said that you are a rare person. You are obviously more important than what will happen in a few years. If you don't look at you now, if you have a stomach problem at night, I won't have any sleep today. There is no reason for that." Don't you understand, Teacher Ye?"

Ye Xiu glanced at Su Muqiu with a flat expression, lowered his head, and ate the overly sweet little bunny bean paste bun.

Ye Xiu is very famous in the computer field. He usually lives reclusively, so it is difficult to meet him. This time he participated in the seminar temporarily, and everyone naturally tried their best to get online, or connect with other great masters through Ye Xiu.Ye Xiu was completely different from the old style, never dodging or evading, even though he was still indifferent, he never refused anyone who came to greet him.Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ye Xiu had brought a student to the show, and was happy to get to know this young man whom Ye Xiu took care of.

After going back and forth, the time was late, and by the time I noticed it, I had already missed the reserved train, and there were about a dozen such guests.

F University deserves to be a wealthy school, without further ado, let Jiang Botao and others make statistics, open a single room in the most high-end hotel nearby, and inform everyone that the organizer will book a return ticket for tomorrow morning and deliver it at breakfast time.

At that time, Ye Xiu was saying goodbye to Elder Shen, who made an appointment with the principal to go to the hot spring together.Jiang Botao saw that they couldn't finish talking for a while, so he asked Su Muqiu if he and Ye Xiu had any requests for accommodation and train times.

Su Muqiu answered no, Jiang Botao was about to leave when Su Muqiu called out, "Wait, do you have private rooms?"

Jiang Botao nodded.

"We'll be fine with a double room."

"good".Jiang Botao lowered his head and wrote a note, "Do you want a standard room or a double room?"

Su Muqiu coughed lightly, thinking about big bed room, big bed room, big bed room: "Standard room, thank you."

"Okay. Do I need to pretend to accidentally make a mistake and write it as a big bed room?"

Damn, this kid is too good at it.Su Muqiu stared, Jiang Botao smiled: "I'm just joking... Oh, or do you really need friendship?"

"..."

When the group of them transferred to the hotel by car, and when Su Muqiu came back with the keys, Ye Xiu was surprised for a while, saying when did this school with deep pockets learn to be frugal, and even opened rooms for two people.

"In the past, the number was counted on the basis of the head, and several rooms were opened. I remember that one year, a professor brought a child to attend, saying that the little girl had never been to S City, and the result was to open two single rooms for their father and daughter. .”

Su Muqiu said solemnly, "Single rooms are not enough, so I have to be wronged."

"Well... I don't care, anyway, we are used to sleeping." Ye Xiu didn't care.

The two walked away slowly, leaving behind a lot of shattered lenses and eyeballs.

Although Su Muqiu was expecting something to happen, such as Jiang Botao's friendly service, allowing him to share the same bed with Ye Xiu, but when he opened the door, it turned out to be two single beds, one on the left and the other on the right. , separated by a natural moat, it is embarrassing.

Ye Xiu entered the bathroom first. Su Muqiu listened to the sound of the water, and suddenly remembered a certain sweet dream, and then thought of it as a hotel room. He was suddenly distracted. I was bothered to discuss a few words on □□, then turned on the game and started playing without distraction.

When Su Muqiu took a shower and left the bathroom with a towel on his head, Teacher Ye had already turned off the light, and was sleeping soundly under the quilt.

"Usually I tell you to go to bed on time, but now I sleep soundly..." Su Muqiu clicked his tongue a few times, set the alarm clock, and quickly fell asleep on the bed.

The room was quiet and peaceful, with only the slight breathing of the two of them one after another.

In the darkness, Ye Xiu opened his eyes. His black eyes were clear. He turned around and stared intently at Su Muqiu's blurred side face.

Good night, Mu Qiu.
