Forever, beauty bone

Chapter 2
On a rainy day, there is no heating equipment in this room.

Shi Yi and Hong Xiaoyu were sitting all the time, their hands and feet were already cold.

Fortunately, the interview has come to an end. Finally, Hong Xiaoyu finally turned to the girl: "According to ordinary people's standards, your husband is really not a good home. What is your next plan?"

The girl smiled and glanced at the man: "We all have the ability to make money and are in good health. We will definitely live a good life after returning home in two years. And," the girl laughed softly for a while, " I'm not afraid of him doing anything to hurt me, he's a good guy."

The little wife's words concluded today's interview.

End of work.

They went to the nearest Mi's house to make steamed buns. It's a very small store, crowded with people, and the environment is noisy, but the business is very good.While eating, Shi Yi looked around, and found that someone was holding a bowl, standing beside him breaking buns with his hands, while patiently waiting for someone to have an empty seat.

Hong Xiaoyu also imitated the example, breaking off a piece of steamed bun: "Looking at today's interview, is there anything particularly touching?"

Shi Yi chuckled: "Do you want to write a blog, but lack an introduction?"

"Dead woman," Hong Xiaoyu glanced at her, "Say it quickly."

Shi Yi took a sip of the soup, thought for a while, and then said: "Most people in the world have shallow eyes, only see the surface, but not the bones. This little girl is rare, and she can see the essence of this man at a glance."

Hong Xiaoyu murmured: "This sounds delicious, I like it." She added spice to the soup, and suddenly thought of something: "You said yesterday that that researcher I met at the Guangzhou Airport is also here these days. Xi'an?"

With something still in his mouth, Shi Yi murmured: "His university is doing a project exchange with the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently, and he is here on a business trip."

"To be honest, I don't see how special that person is, and he looks ordinary. I didn't expect you to take the initiative to know him." Hong Xiaoyu looked at her with a smile, "Is this the so-called right eye?"

She rolled her eyes and glanced at Hong Xiaoyu: "I just want to get to know him, I don't have any bad intentions..."

Before he finished speaking, his shoulders sank slightly, and he took a man's hand.

Hong Xiaoyu looked along that very beautiful hand, and couldn't help laughing secretly, what a coincidence, it was the person they were talking about who came.

This man's brows are extremely bookish, and his face is ordinary, not ugly, but it is easy to forget.He was wearing a white coat commonly used in the laboratory, but it was not buttoned up, it was just so open, revealing the shirt and trousers inside.

It is very tidy, there is nothing wrong with it, but it does not match the surrounding environment.

Shi Yi looked at him with a mouthful of soup in his mouth.

She felt very paranoid that his appearance was very good and he would not be too aggressive.Apart from being bookish and having a slight sense of distance, this face really couldn't be better, couldn't be more comfortable.

He took his hand back unhurriedly, sat down, put his wrist on the edge of the table, and said, "What a coincidence."

Before he finished speaking, he waved lightly to the boss.

"Most people in the world have superficial eyes, they only see the skin, not the bones." After the boss responded, he looked at Shi Yi again, "That's not bad."

Hong Xiaoyu also sighed what a coincidence, and looked at Shiyi meaningfully.

When it comes to appearance, Shi Yi is definitely top-notch.Eyebrows, contours, all seem to be carefully drawn with hand-made pens.Her beauty is non-aggressive, but it is different from Zhou Shengchen's ordinary, especially when she looks at you, her eyes are very bright.When you really read countless beauties in the society, you will find that the eyes of a real beauty must be bright, not cloudy.

The most important thing is that Shi Yi is very traditional and never wears clothes that show off her shoulders.

A very traditional beauty, a rare treasure.

Hong Xiaoyu went to see this man again.

Forget it, as long as good friends like it, a man's face is not that important.

"It's a coincidence." While speaking, the man took a pair of disposable chopsticks, broke them apart, and rubbed the two chopsticks together to remove the wood burrs on them. "Are you coming to Xi'an for a trip?"

"Xiaoyu is here for an interview," she said, "We are going to take advantage of this business trip and spend a few days here."

The cameraman, who had been burying his head in eating, smacked his lips, put down his chopsticks, and enthusiastically handed out a business card.

The man took it, put one hand into his trouser pocket, groped for a while, but couldn't find anything to give back: "Sorry, I don't have the habit of carrying such things with me," he briefly introduced himself, "Zhou Shengchen, Berkeley Chemical Co., Ltd. Associate professor of the college. During this time, I was doing exchange projects in the Polymer Materials Laboratory of the Institute of Organic Chemistry, Xi'an Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

A series of seemingly professional and profound nouns made photographers even more impressed.

"Birthdate? Good name," he said with a smile, "Call me Xiaoshuai, I'm Hong Xiaoyu's colleague."

Zhou Shengchen smiled politely: "The double surname is Zhou Sheng, and the single name is Chen."

Xiaoshuai oh oh twice: "Mr. Zhou Sheng."

Shi Yi couldn't help laughing, this surname is indeed rare, no wonder others find it strange.

Xiaoshuai seemed to feel that it was very inappropriate for him to mispronounce someone else's surname, so he found a step for himself seriously, and said to Zhou Shengchen, "I think Shi Yi's words are really good."

Xiaoyu didn't wait for Zhou Shengchen to say anything, but laughed first: "Do you understand what it means?"

Xiaoshuai couldn't get off the tiger, so he had no choice but to continue talking: "Of course I understand, but such words are absolutely comprehensible."

"Don't get me wrong, I'll tell you where this sentence came from," Xiaoyu asked him funny, "Do you know "Xing Shi Heng Yan"?"

Xiaoshuai was taken aback.

"Three words and two beats, do you know?"

Xiao Shuai felt a little familiar.

"It's mentioned in the high school history book, novels in the late Ming Dynasty." Xiaoyu took out a bunch of chopsticks that hadn't been broken, knocked on his bowl, and said with a smile, "What does this mean? People can only see other people's external conditions, such as tickets, cars, houses, and appearance, but they can't see the inner quality."

Xiaoshuai gave a long ooh, and the ending turned a corner: "Admiration."

"What I should admire is Shi Yi." Hong Xiaoyu looked deliberately at Zhou Shengchen, "She forced me to read these things since I was a child."

Zhou Shengchen actually understood what she meant and smiled.

Xiaoyu thought he was really smiling with praise, but Shi Yi understood that his smile was only because he saw through Hong Xiaoyu's little thoughts.Hong Xiaoyu knew that he had a good impression of him, so he would naturally praise her around the corner to make Zhou Shengchen care.

But Hong Xiaoyu didn't know that Zhou Shengchen was really impressed with her.

They met at Guangzhou Airport half a year ago. At that time, the two of them were at different security check entrances and were scanned by the machine, which caused special alarm sounds. When she took off her shoes to check the metal objects, she saw him.

With just one glance, she knew it was him.

Although the appearance is different, the voice is different, and any external appearance is completely different.But she knew it must be him.

After being checked, he picked up his laptop and quickly walked out of the security checkpoint.Shi Yi only remembered that her mind was blank at that time, and she chased after him barefoot. She didn't dare to miss this person, so she naturally forgot what environment she was in.

So, the first time he saw Shi Yi, it was very funny.

There were airport staff chasing after her, as if she was afraid that she was a thug, but she just looked at him anxiously: "Wait for me, I need to talk to you." She really didn't care what Zhou Shengchen's expression was at that time to see.

That was the first time she felt that her appearance had some uses, for example, the airport staff were polite to her, and they only thought she was a friend she had met for many years, and she was a little carried away.While wearing her shoes, she was still looking at him from the corner of her eye, afraid that he would leave.

Fortunately, Zhou Shengchen really didn't leave, and was always waiting for her.

The acquaintance was abrupt.

Later she couldn't explain it, so she had to tell Zhou Shengchen that he was very much like her friend, believe it or not, he didn't dislike him too much.It's just that when she asked for her cell phone number more abruptly, he refused Shi Yi on the grounds that she didn't have a cell phone.

She was very embarrassed at the time, but fortunately, he took the initiative to leave an e-mail address.

It's been more than half a year since we met, and the two of them haven't met each other, and it's just an exchange of emails.And there was nothing special to say in the email, Zhou Shengchen was engaged in polymer organic chemistry, and she was a voice actress, the two professions did not have any intersection.

That's it, Shi Yi has also developed the habit of logging in to the mailbox every day.

He was discovered by Hong Xiaoyu a few times and was ridiculed.So this time Hong Xiaoyu came to Xi'an on a business trip, and when she heard that Zhou Shengchen was on a long-term business trip in Xi'an, he couldn't help but pull her here.When Shi Yi left the airport last night, he was even hesitating whether to ask him out, and if so, what excuse would he use?I didn't expect to come across it by such a coincidence.

Zhou Shengchen's eating habits are very good, and he stopped talking from the moment he dropped his chopsticks.

Hong Xiaoyu looked at Shi Yi several times, but she lowered her head and avoided it.

"Mr. Zhou Sheng," a big boy ran into the store, put away his umbrella and walked here: "I will pay my salary next month, and I will give you a mobile phone. Drive," he estimated that he walked all the way in a hurry, and the corners of his jeans were soaked, "I have already run to several places. If I didn't see the car from the research institute, I don't know how long I would have been looking for it."

He came in all the way, only looking at Zhou Shengchen who was eating, but he didn't pay attention to the time when his back was turned to him.

When he got closer, he couldn't help being startled, the big boy didn't expect that the person sitting opposite Mr. Zhou Sheng was such a beautiful woman.

He stuttered for a long time, managed to find his voice and continued, "Then what... Mr. Zhou Sheng, I'm going to be late for the seminar. I've been looking for you for half an hour... I guess we're already late..."

"Understood." Zhou Shengchen continued to eat two more bites slowly, and put down his chopsticks, "I have to leave first, and I will contact you when I have a chance." Shi Yi saw him standing up, feeling his leg was kicked hard.

Looking back, Hong Xiaoyu had already cleared his throat, and said to Zhou Shengchen: "I heard that the cherry blossoms in Qinglong Temple are blooming well recently. We are not from Xi'an. It's rare to come here once. Do you want to go and see it together?"

Zhou Shengchen stopped in his footsteps.

He raised his head and looked at the rain outside: "It has been raining in Xi'an for the past two days. When the rain stops, if you haven't left yet, we will make another appointment."

"Then it's settled," Hong Xiaoyu put his arm around Shi Yi's shoulders, and said, "I'll let Shi Yi email you when the time comes."

He nodded, as a promise.

When the two returned to the hotel, the corners of their trouser legs were completely soaked.

Shi Yi took a hot shower, searched the house for a long time but couldn't find instant coffee, so he took chrysanthemum tea in a simple paper bag, boiled hot water, and brewed two cups full.

Handing it to Hong Xiaoyu, she put it on the bedside table casually, and while checking the mailbox, she wiped her nose with a roll of paper: "Through this simple lunch today, I finally managed to discover another advantage of Zhou Shengchen, which is that he is enough to be a man." It's not right to say that." She looked up at Shi Yi, who just pulled up her long hair hastily. Such a scruffy look is enough to take a photo in a magazine. "Since I was a child, I just use you as an excuse. There is really no one you can't date. From this point of view, he is not special."

Shi Yi ignored her teasing, took over the computer, and logged into the mailbox.

Seeing that there were 0 receipts, I was inexplicably disappointed.

She quickly closed the computer and said, "No matter how good-looking a face is, it can be from 16 to 36 at most."

"I like to look at beautiful things, especially a pair is the best," Hong Xiaoyu rubbed his nose fiercely, "and it is good for the genes of the next generation." Shi Yi pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes were bright, he was so beautiful .

The two of them were freezing during the day, so they snuggled up under the white quilt and put their feet close to each other to keep warm.

"Shi Yi, do you really like him?"

"No." When she spoke, she felt that she had no confidence. "I just think that he is very special."

"What's so special?"

Shi Yi couldn't find an excuse, so he could only say, "The name is special."

The name was really the most special, it was the same as his name in her memory.

"My name is even more special." Hong Xiaoyu simply took off his jeans and pulled the quilt over it, "'Xiaoyu Tianxia', why don't you see me differently?"

"This explanation is not good." Shi Yi intentionally avoided Zhou Shengchen's topic, and instead teased Hong Xiaoyu, "I'll think of a more romantic one for you, so that you can marry in the future."

Hong Xiaoyu listened with great interest: "Speak quickly."

"Let me think about it," Shi Yi thought about it carefully, and finally said again, "Although it's a bit far-fetched, you must like it. Have you ever heard a line of Nalan Xingde's poem?" She said next to Hong Xiaoyu, "' May I eat jade red grass, and I will never wake up after being drunk.'”

"No," Hong Xiaoyu shook his head, "What do you say?"

"It is said that there is a kind of jade red grass that only grows in the Kunlun Mountains. If someone collects it and eats it by mistake, they will be drunk for 300 years," she deliberately changed her tone, and whispered her name in the voice of a voice actor. , "Hong Xiaoyu, Hongyu, Yuhong, when you say your name, does it mean Yuhongcao?"

Hong Xiaoyu was amused by what she said: "Why are you talking about it all of a sudden? No, you have been talking about it since you were a child. It's a bit far-fetched, but it's quite artistic, I like it, and I'll explain it like this in the future."

Suddenly, there were several thunderclaps outside the window.

Hong Xiaoyu took advantage of it, and quickly returned to his original state, laughing at her: "It seems that it will rain for a few days, and I don't know about the cherry blossoms in Qinglong Temple. I haven't had a chance to see them yet."

"If you can't see it, let's stop watching it." Shi Yi wrinkled his nose and let out a long breath, "It's not like I won't be here forever."

The next morning, she was woken up by her mobile phone.

It was a call from the recording studio. Before I was clear-headed, I heard the work arrangement being babbled: "You are really popular, and many people have asked you to dub by name. Just because you are going to Xi'an for the four-day vacation , do you know how much less you earn?"

She turned over, Hong Xiaoyu was still in a deep sleep, without any sign of waking up.

Afraid of waking Xiaoyu up, she said softly to send the recording schedule, and hung up the phone.He gently picked up the laptop from the ground and opened it on his lap.Four emails came in quickly in the inbox, she hurriedly scanned the titles, and found that one of them was an email with no subject, and the sender was Zhou Shengchen:
4：36分走出实验室时，没有下雨。如果11：30还没有下雨，12：00青龙寺见。

Zhou Shengchen.

After Shi Yi saw this email, his eyes moved to the lower right corner of the screen, it was just 7:36.

She was a little worried, but this time it was the same as before.It will be canceled due to sudden changes in weather, sudden illness, busy work, or various strange emergencies.

Unexpectedly, God suddenly opened his eyes, and the rain really stopped.

The cameraman is originally from Shaanxi. Although he was not born in Xi'an, he is familiar with it.Shi Yi was afraid of being late, so nervously asked Hong Xiaoyu and the cameraman to confirm the time to arrive at Qinglong Temple, and they arrived a full 10 minutes early.

Maybe it's cherry blossom season, and it's rare to see the sun.

The gate of Qinglong Temple came and went, quite crowded.They picked an eye-catching place, and about 10 minutes later, they saw Zhou Shengchen walking over from a distance, alone.

Facing the sunlight, Shi Yi recognized him through squinting his eyes, and his heart calmed down quietly.

"Shi Yi, you are poisoned..." Hong Xiaoyu said in a low voice, "I see that your face is flushed, don't tell me it's from sunburn."

She shook her head: "I won't explain it to you, and I can't explain it clearly anyway."

"It's early, Teacher Zhou Sheng," Hong Xiaoyu pursed his lips and greeted with a smile, "Is it your habit to arrive 10 minutes early?" Zhou Shengchen stretched out his hand and handed out two tickets to Shi Yi: " I usually arrive 15 minutes early when I make appointments with others, and it took me 5 minutes just now to buy a ticket." He handed the remaining one to the cameraman.

Shi Yi said thank you, took it over, and slapped one of them in Xiaoyu's hand.

Hong Xiaoyu has never been here before, so naturally he doesn't know the place he made an appointment with, it's pitifully small.

A few people entered the temple and wandered around for a while. The cherry blossoms were flamboyant and the cornices were mottled. It was just that those people sitting and chatting on newspapers under the trees weakened the artistic conception of admiring the flowers a lot, and even more so. Like an ordinary spring outing.Even in such a crowded small temple, there are still several groups of tourists walking side by side in the tour guide's explanation.

"... In 1986, Qinglong Temple introduced 12 precious varieties from Japan and planted them in the temple. The early blooming ones included Bigan cherry and red branch weeping cherry..." The tour guide repeated the commentary in a serious manner.

Shi Yi listened amusedly, took out his mobile phone and secretly recorded a section, but unfortunately the tour guide left soon.She listened to it for a few seconds and found that the sound was very noisy, so she hesitated to delete it.

If you want to have an aftertaste, it may be better to take a few explanatory cards with a camera.

"In the first few days when I came here, people from the research institute here gave me a Xi'an city notebook. If you like it, I can give it to you," Zhou Shengchen told her in a flat tone, "This city is full of stories."

Shi Yi nodded, and his eyes drifted over him, as if he was very interested in the cherry blossoms.

"Do you like reading?" She asked suddenly.

"There is a fixed time for reading every day," he said, "However, it is not universal, and it depends on whether the book is interesting."

Shi Yi snorted, and continued to ask him tentatively: "Then have you ever been to that kind of old-fashioned library? There are layers of wooden shelves and countless volumes?"

The library in her mind was not very clear, but it was related to him.

There are not many people there, and sometimes the windows are opened for ventilation, and the wind blows, and the pages of the books on the shelves are blown and rattled.

Zhou Shengchen didn't quite understand what she said, so he said with a thin smile, "The places I often go to also have layers of wooden shelves, but the shelves are full of bottles and cans, and all kinds of dangerous instruments, so they can't be touched easily."

Shi Yi smiled: "That sounds interesting."

"Interesting?" He smiled from the corner of his lips, "It can range from burns to severe explosions."

Shi Yi was really taken aback: "High-risk occupation? If you say so, who would want to enter the laboratory?"

Wouldn't it be that the vegetation is frozen all day long, and I'm trembling, so why do I do scientific research?

"It's not so scary, I got used to it very early," he said plainly, as if he was talking about ordinary things, "When I first started this major, I remembered something I forgot in the laboratory one night. I got there at 6:[-], and there was no one there, but there was an explosion. Half of the laboratory was blown up right in front of me. Fortunately, I got up five or six minutes late and saved my life."

She was speechless: "And then?"

"Then?" Zhou Shengchen thought for a while, "Fortunately, the dozen or so materials I made are still there, so I transferred them to the next-door laboratory that afternoon to continue the tolerance test."

Zhou Shengchen's tone was too casual, like talking about cats and dogs, but she was scared after hearing it, and forgot to avoid the cherry blossom branches beside her.It wasn't until Zhou Shengchen raised his arm from her face and brushed away the fragrant fragrance that Shi Yi had no reaction, and hurriedly said thank you.

The temple is not big, and the spring outing ended after a while.

Anyway, it was still early, so they found a nearby tea house to rest, and the building was almost full.Zhou Shengchen's student was sitting on the window seat on the second floor, as if he had waited for a long time, and when he saw them appear, he stood up and said, "Teacher Zhou Sheng, here, here."
