With a subscription rate of ≥80%, you can read this chapter normally, otherwise you will need to make up and read it again, or wait one more day when you see Lu Chaoqing put the shopping bag on the suitcase, turn it over and ask: “Are you looking for the key?”
Lu Chaoqing nodded.
Meng Wan guessed: “Will you get off the car?”
Lu Chaoqing moved for a while, recalling the journey from the airport to the community, as if something was dropped in the taxi.
The neighbor lost the key. Meng Wan looked at Lu Chaoqing’s large suitcase and warmly suggested: “Call the unlocking company. You come to our house first?”
In fact, it is somewhat dangerous for a girl who lives alone to invite a man who is not familiar with him to visit her house. However, Lu Chaoqing’s parents are both professors, and Lu Chaoqing has been a nerd from an early age. Meng Wan has something to do with Lu Chaoqing from this background. This kind of inexplicable trust will not be dangerous at all.
Lu Chaoqing stood in front of the door without moving, and asked her, “Thank you, do you have a pin?”
Meng Wan didn’t understand what he wanted the pin to do: “I’ll look for it.”
After speaking, Meng Wan took the takeaway home and found a box of pins in the study, and she took them out.
Lu Chaoqing thanked again and took out a pin.
Meng Wan lowered his head and saw that his fingers were slender, even better than lawyer Wu’s hands. Without a Rolex watch, they looked cleaner.
Lu Chaoqing straightened the pin neatly, bending the end slightly upwards and finishing it. He squatted with his back to Meng Wan in front of his house and inserted the pin into the keyhole.
Meng Wan almost wanted to cover his mouth again. Thinking of the scenes that often appear in film and television dramas, Meng Wan couldn’t help but walk up to Lu Chaoqing, staring at the keyhole and asking, “Will you open the lock?”
Not long after she took a shower, she was full of the fragrance of shower gel and a faint smell of osmanthus.
Lu Chaoqing was not used to being in such close contact with women, his head tilted to one side imperceptibly, and he answered with a hum. He found that this neighbor always likes to ask some meaningless questions. If he can’t unlock the lock, what is he doing here?
Meng Wan’s attention was locked, and she asked curiously, “Who did you learn from?”
Lu Chaoqing pursed his lips, and at this moment, the lock was unlocked.
Lu Chaoqing looked better, stood up and said, “I studied physics.”
Meng Wan opened his mouth.
Lu Chaoqing’s parents seem to be professors of science, and it is normal for Lu Chaoqing to become a physicist.
But will physicists open the lock?
Fortunately, Meng Wan saw that Lu Chaoqing didn’t like talking to her anymore, so he didn’t ask any more interestingly.
“Welcome back to China, then, I will go to eat first.” Meng Wan smiled at the man.
Lu Chaoqing turned the unlocking tool in his hand and glanced at her: “I will pay you back.”
It was just a pin. Meng Wanlian said no, and waved to Lu Chaoqing, she went back to her home again.
Lu Chaoqing looked at the door on the opposite side, and felt that Meng Wan was still warm and hospitable despite his poor memory.
He lifted the suitcase and went in.
.
Meng Wan’s breakfast was porridge. While she was drinking porridge, she wanted to call her mother to share news of her neighbor’s return. However, pressing her finger on the dial button, Meng Wan remembered that her mother often used Lu Chaoqing as her in junior high school. The number of cases fell short of her grades and worried that the nightmare would recur. Meng Wan finally did not make this call.
At 9:30, Meng night set off for the ramen restaurant.
“Meng Lao Tau Ramen Restaurant” is diagonally across from Z University, just across the road from the entrance of the school. There is a century-old camphor tree on the roadside in front of the store, with luxuriant branches and leaves, complementing the ramen restaurant with antique decoration. Ramen is delicious and cheap, and it is a delicious taste that ordinary college students can afford. Coupled with the close distance, the business of ramen restaurants in Mengwan is very hot, only during the winter and summer vacations it will be slightly deserted.
A few minutes before the opening at ten o’clock, the staff of the ramen shop was ready. As soon as Meng Wan came in, Xiaoye, the cashier, smiled and greeted: “The boss is here!”
The two ramen brothers Xu Qiang, Chen Shuisheng and the waiter Xu Yue in the open kitchen also called the boss together.
Meng Wan was about the same age as these four. At first, the employees called her Meng Sister or Wan Sister. Meng Wan thought that this name was too old, and unified changed to the boss.
“The boss didn’t have a blind date yesterday?” Xiaoye asked gossiping. It was her who called Meng Wan last night.
The other three people also stared at Meng Wan.
Meng Wan sighed: “People think that our ramen restaurant is not good enough, and they have lost their share.”
Xiaoye cut and looked at Meng Wan enviously: “How good our business is. The boss is beautiful and profitable. If I were a man, I would hug the boss’s thigh tightly and not let go.”
The No. 1 ramen brother Xu Qiang, who has eight packs of abdominal muscles, looked at Meng Wan and joked: “I am a man and want to hold the boss’s thigh. Unfortunately, the boss doesn’t like me as a ramen noodle maker.”
Xu Qiang and Xu Yue are brothers and sisters. Xu Qiang specialized in ramen after graduating from junior high school, and Xu Yue finished high school somehow. The father of the two used to work in the ramen restaurant in Meng Wan’s home. Now father Xu opened his own noodle restaurant in his hometown. Hearing that Meng Wan was going to do it alone, he introduced Xu Qiang and his sister.
Both brothers and sisters are cheerful, Xu Qiang is tall, strong and handsome, especially sweet. The female regular customer Xu Qiang at the ramen restaurant can almost be named, and he even remembers what kind of noodles they like to eat. On the contrary, the second ramen brother, Chen Shuisheng, is much more restrained, and his appearance is not inferior to Xu Qiang, but he is reticent. In Xiaoye’s words, Xu Qiang is a sunny and beautiful man, and Chen Shuisheng follows a melancholy route. Anyway, the two have their own ramen restaurants. Fans.
When Xu Qiang was joking, Chen Shuisheng looked up at Meng Wan.
Meng Wan stared at Xu Qiang, and went to the dressing room to change work clothes. After a while, she and Xiaoye sat at the cashier counter. Xiaoye was responsible for collecting the money. When he was busy, Meng Wan would help. Even if there were customer disputes in the store, Meng Wan would come forward. , Overall it’s fairly easy.
When it opened at ten o’clock, the store began to see customers.
At eleven o’clock, the part-time worker Xiao Shen also arrived. She is a sophomore in the English Department of University Z. Her family’s financial situation is not good. She finds a part-time job here in Mengwan and helps to serve dishes at noon and evening peaks every day.
The air conditioner is turned on in the ramen restaurant, and the cold wind is blowing while eating the warm ramen. Looking around, the faces of the guests are mostly satisfied.
Meng Wan went to the bathroom, and as soon as she returned to the front desk to sit down, Xiaoye gently bumped her shoulder, glanced at a table not far from the front desk and said, “Professor Gao is here again.”
Meng Wan ignored Xiaoye’s joke and didn’t look at Professor Gao.
After about half an hour, Professor Gao from Xiaoye’s mouth came to check out. He was a man wearing a trousers, shirt, short hair and glasses. His appearance was about seven minutes and his height was up to 1.75 meters. According to Xiaoye’s gossip collection, Professor Gao worked in the Department of Physics of Z University. He is only thirty-two years old this year. He has become a professor at a young age. It can be seen that he is a student of genius level.
“A total of fifteen yuan, scan code or cash?” Xiaoye asked with a smile.
Professor Gao, who had been lowering his eyes, took out his wallet, drew a twenty-yuan bill, and handed it to Meng Wan hesitatingly. Only then did Professor Gao take a quick glance at Meng Wan.
Meng Wan smiled and gave him change.
Professor Gao took the change, pushed the frame, and left.
Xiaoye looked at Professor Gao’s back and shook his head regretfully: “Professor Gao is pretty good and has a promising career, but he is too boring. Now that men pursue women, it’s not okay to have a dumb mouth and a dumb tongue. I don’t dare to look at it. If it’s not for my bad eyes, who can tell that he likes the boss? But I heard that science men are bored, and you should never find a science guy if you are looking for a boyfriend. Science professors are even more bored.”
Meng Wan attacked her: “It sounds like you have had a science boyfriend.”
Xiaoye made a face.
The guests ate happily. Meng Wan checked the time and walked towards Z Da with the canteen card of Xiao Shen, a part-time worker. The food in the Z canteen is not bad, nutritious and healthy, and Mengwan’s people all eat out there.
At lunchtime, there are people coming and going in the cafeteria, and there are long lines in front of each cafeteria window.
Meng Wan picked a small team to stand.
“Our physics department is about to add a new professor, focusing on gravity and astrophysics.”
There were people chatting in the team next to him. Meng Wan looked over. There were three boys in a row. Two of them were wearing thick glasses, which fits the image of a science man in Meng Wan’s mind.
The boys are still chatting: “I heard that the new professor is only 27 years old, and he is the youngest professor in the history of the Department of Physics of Z University.”
“Twenty-seven? Younger than Professor Gao, he is not a human being!”
“That’s a real genius. Unlike me, I wouldn’t study physics unless I transferred to the physics department.”
“Geniuses are all ugly. Tomorrow night the department will hold a welcome party for him. Then we will be able to see the deity. I bet he will be bald after a meal.”
Bald?
Meng Wan remembered her high school physics teacher. Let alone, she was really a bald old man, but being bald at the age of 27 is too exaggerated, right? The professor Gao’s hair is quite thick.
After listening to gossip, it was Meng Wan’s turn to have dinner. Meng Wan ordered six people in one breath and packed two big bags, which made the muscles of her thin arms tensed. The weather in June was as hot as a steamer outside. Meng Wan chose a cool place to walk. When he approached the gate, he ran into a young man in a white shirt.
It was Lu Chaoqing who had only met this morning.
Lu Chaoqing saw her too, and he glanced over the canteen bag with her hands, and he was a little surprised. As far as he knew, the Meng family was very rich, and this rich lady could not be reduced to the point of delivering food.
“Hi!” Meng Wan said hello with an embarrassed smile. It was too hot at noon and sweating on his face. This image was really inelegant.
Lu Chaoqing nodded without asking more.
When the two were about to pass by, Meng Wan suddenly remembered something, tilted his head and asked him, “Why are you here in Z?”
Lu Chaoqing had to stop and replied: “Apply.”
Meng Wan’s eyes widened: “Are you the 27-year-old new professor who studies astrophysics?”
Lu Chaoqing acquiesced.
Meng Wan couldn’t help looking at his head.
She looked strange, Lu Chaoqing glanced at her watch and asked, “Is there anything else?”
Meng Wan shook his head quickly.
Lu Chaoqing continued to walk inside.
Meng Wan watched him stand tall and slender, comparable to the back of the hero of an idol drama, and silently ordered a wax for the men betting in the cafeteria.
With Lu Chaoqing’s hair, there should be no possibility of baldness in a short time.
As soon as the summer vacation was over, the campus of Z University was deserted a lot, students on the playground were scattered in the morning, and the cafeteria was even quieter. Lu Chaoqing ate breakfast by himself. After eating, on the way to the Physics Department, Lu Chaoqing suddenly saw a familiar figure from the back. It was Professor Gao. Lu Chaoqing was about to say hello, but he saw Professor Gao raise his mobile phone and pointed it at the roadside.
Lu Chaoqing looked in the direction of the phone and saw Liu Nian wearing a floral skirt standing under a camphor tree, smiling very brightly.
Lu Chaoqing frowned. He was a little disgusted with Professor Gao’s approach. He either focused on spending time with his girlfriend, or focused on research, and brought his girlfriend to the workplace for fun, and he was not dedicated enough.
