Chapter 84:
Duan Hengye felt that Lan Jingchi had changed a lot. Compared with the silent and cautious look that he encountered in An Luo at the beginning, he was almost like a different person. At this time, Lan Jingchi, who was standing on the stage, looked extremely confident, and his words and deeds were extremely decent, and he could indeed shoulder the task of representing all the students of An Luo University.
But somehow, as someone who has read the original novel of "Dumping Interstellar", the more Duan Hengye sees Lan Jingchi's perfect performance, the more strange the picture is.
Although Lan Jingchi in the book is not a villain, he has a persona who walks on the edge of good and evil, and now Duan Hengye can't connect the person standing on the stage with him in the book.
Duan Hengye himself admits that he is not a person with high emotional intelligence, but he knows that a person's personality does not change so quickly... Lan Jingchi has learned to hide himself.
After Shi Rongsi had spoken to the people around him, he turned his attention to the stage again. From Duan Hengye's perspective, he couldn't see his expression, but if you pay attention, you can see that Lan Jingchi's speech level is very high, and almost the entire table casts approving eyes on him.
Lan Jingchi gave a speech off-script. Facing the huge auditorium, he did not show any jerky or fear. When the final speech was over and bowed to thank you, Duan Hengye heard excited applause from the students behind him.
Because the work at hand has been relatively heavy in the recent past, and Lan Jingchi did not take the initiative to tell Duan Hengye about these things. Until today, Professor Duan has vaguely felt that Lan Jingchi's strength has been understood and recognized by people, and he has probably become a man of the whole An Luo.
As a student representative, Lan Jingchi returned to the back of the venue according to the procedure after speaking. After several activities, today's welcome banquet has finally officially begun. The table sitting behind Duan Hengye was almost all Professor An Luo. At the beginning of the banquet, the scene was relatively quiet, so the low-volume voice of the other party easily reached Duan Hengye's ears.
The content of their chat happened to be about Lan Jingchi.
"...It was a student from your college who spoke on the stage just now?" Hearing the voice alone, the person speaking should be a little old, he obviously doesn't know the current An Luo very well.
"Yes" the other person responded, and then said, "Lan Jingchi, I won the prize last time. Now I have skipped the grade... The future of the young man is immeasurable."
Sure enough, after hearing the words "skip", the person who asked the question first couldn't help but "tsk" for a while, and then he continued to say: "He really has a shadow of Professor Duan back then. ."
Suddenly being mentioned, Duan Hengye couldn't help but froze for a while. And then, the people behind the table began to popularize his relationship with Duan Hengye to the person who didn't know Lan Jingchi very much. There is no lack of emotion in the tone of the speaker. Obviously he did not expect that the simple encounter that year would develop such a story.
At this time, the venue gradually became noisy, and the people around Duan Hengye left the table one after another and began to chat with old friends or classmates sitting elsewhere.
After a while, even Su Mingge beside him stood up, and he walked towards the back table, seemingly to see his classmates.
At this time, there were many people who wanted to chat with Duan Hengye, but they were all bluffed by his repellent temperament, so the professor's side seemed particularly deserted during this period.
Seeing that the main part of the banquet was over, Duan Hengye wanted to leave the venue directly. However, after getting up, he hesitated, then gave up and went out directly from the side door, but turned to the back of the auditorium.
Although there was no one around Duan Hengye chatting, everyone was watching him silently, and the movement of Duan Hengye getting up and walking towards the back of the auditorium was naturally not omitted. Duan Hengye now has long been accustomed to such a scene. Although he knew that someone was looking at him, his expression and actions were not affected at all.
Soon Duan Hengye walked to the end of the venue, and then saw Lan Jingchi surrounded by a bunch of students. Now Lan Jingchi's side is so lively that no one noticed that Duan Hengye had come here silently. Just as Duan Hengye was thinking about whether he should leave here first, and when Lan Jingchi was free to look for him, Lan Jingchi, who was tightly surrounded by the crowd, suddenly raised his head.
Seeing Duan Hengye, Lan Jingchi's face instantly showed a surprised look, and then shouted over there: "Professor Duan!"
Lan Jingchi's voice was not loud, but it was enough to make those around him hear clearly. So after Lan Jingchi's voice fell, the students surrounding him immediately cast their gazes towards Duan Hengye's direction. After all, they are not students of the Mecha Department, and everyone is a little afraid of Professor Duan.
So after seeing that the person Lan Jingchi called just now was indeed Duan Hengye, the students instantly switched to the nervous mode, then greeted Duan Hengye and quickly left Lan Jingchi's side.
Before Duan Hengye could walk over, Lan Jingchi came to him first. Seeing that Lan Jingchi was in a good mood right now, Duan Hengye first put aside the confusion he had just now, and then talked to the other party about the speech just now.
Although Duan Hengye was a little distracted when he listened, the main content did not miss much, so the compliment was still in place. After a few words, Lan Jingchi smiled a little embarrassedly, and then said to Duan Hengye: "In fact, this event...I was surprised when I received the notice myself. I didn't tell Professor Duan, I just wanted to I want to leave a surprise for today."
Lan Jingchi's seat was at the back of the auditorium, but it was relatively in the middle. The way Duan Hengye was standing with him talking here was a bit conspicuous. Therefore, while talking about the speech just now, Duan Hengye and Lan Jingchi walked towards the corner of the venue together.
At this time, Duan Hengye was behind a huge floor-to-ceiling window. Because it was far away from the core area of the venue, after standing here, they could almost only hear the sound of the man-made stream flowing outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
After a little hesitation, Duan Hengye finally asked his doubts: "...I just heard that you refused the invitation of the Institute of Pharmaceutics?" Although this matter did not spread widely, it was in Lan In the pharmacy major that Jing Chi studied, it was already well known.
Although Lan Jingchi also felt that this kind of "trivial matter" would not immediately reach Duan Hengye's ears, he also knew that the other party would hear about it one day.
When Duan Hengye came to look for him today, Lan Jingchi was already mentally prepared that the other party would ask about it. So when he heard Duan Hengye's words, Lan Jing nodded slowly and said, "Yes...but I am very grateful to Dean Shi Rongsi for the invitation."
"Going to work there is the best choice for pharmacy graduates..." Having said that, Duan Hengye thought for a while and asked, "Do you think it's a bit early now?" Although Lan Jingchi is already He became the "senior" of a bunch of students in An Luo, but pharmacy is also a somewhat expensive professional, and this reason is barely reasonable.
Duan Hengye can still understand if others are worried that his current qualifications are not enough. But from Lan Jingchi's reaction and what he said during the last meeting, it can be seen that he is not the one who would refuse the invitation for this reason.
Sure enough, Lan Jing shook his head without hesitation for a while. He said to Duan Hengye: "I don't like the atmosphere of the Imperial Research Institute, and I am not suitable to work there."
This reason is also counted in Duan Hengye's expectation-no matter what kind of orthodox and good student Lan Jingchi is now, he is still the boy who chose to drop out of An Luo in angrily.
"Do you want to do your own independent research?" Duan Hengye couldn't help but ask. Pharmacy research needs a lot of financial support. After dropping out that year, in order to continue his research career, Lan Jingchi began to deal with the interstellar gray forces. But now that Duan Hengye is here, he certainly wouldn't watch Lan Jingchi walk the path in the book.
Although that path can also allow Lan Jingchi to sway his talents, it is also a completely dangerous path. So before Lan Jingchi could answer, Duan Hengye continued: "If so, I can be the sponsor of the research."
"No." Surprisingly, Lan Jingchi completely denied Duan Hengye's words.
Could it be that what I just said was too straightforward? Duan Hengye was a little confused by Lan Jingchi's words, and then couldn't help but reflect in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Lan Jingchi smiled at Duan Hengye, and he continued, "I don't need your funding, and I don't choose to conduct independent research on my own." He said as he looked out the window, "Although I got A little grade, but my current qualifications are still relatively shallow. If I start blindly independent research at this stage... it will undoubtedly be a waste of precious research and study time."
Duan Hengye discovered that Lan Jingchi was much more mature than the same period in the book.
Lan Jingchi was right. Although he already had the name "genius", he was still a little immature in many places. Independent research is certainly good, but it is a bit early for Lan Jingchi now. Unexpectedly, Duan Hengye gently nodded towards the other party, while Lan Jingchi continued: "I plan to go to another pharmacy research institution."
After listening to what Lan Jingchi had just said, Duan Hengye suddenly remembered something.
Because of the poisoning matter, Duan Hengye had analyzed the major research institutes on the interstellar before. Perhaps the atmosphere in Shi Rongsi's place was not very good, and the freedom of research was not high, but it was worthy of the name. Interstellar's top research institution. Besides there, what other suitable top research institutions are there?
and many more……
Could it be that Lan Jingchi chose the one under the Southern Stars!
Speaking of which, after researching cloned drugs and getting busy at work, Duan Hengye hasn't chatted with AI for a long time as before. So now I suddenly can't remember its exact name, after all, that research institute only has one code name.
However, the more evasive the facts, the easier it is to come true. Lan Jingchi didn't even report its code name, but directly said to Duan Hengye: "I plan to go to the pharmacy research institution under Nan Zhuxing."
Duan Hengye didn't think that as a student majoring in pharmacy, Lan Jingchi would easily know that Nan Zhuxing was behind that institute.
After seeing Duan Hengye's expression that became weird in an instant, Lan Jingchi also unexpectedly did not hide or sell her. He paused for a while, and then said to Duan Hengye: "This matter... the marshal came to talk to me personally."
Meng Jinhuai went to Lan Jing to talk with him personally? After hearing what he said, I couldn't help feeling that this world was a bit too mysterious. It doesn't matter how much the future Lan Jingdai will achieve. But the current fact is-Meng Jinhuai is a high-ranking imperial marshal who is unknown to everyone on the interstellar, and Lan Jingchi is just a slightly famous student in his major.
In the eyes of others, Meng Jinhuai and Lan Jingchi do not belong to the same world at all.
After hearing Lan Jingchi's words, Duan Hengye couldn't help but repeat his words to himself, "Did Meng Jinhuai come to you..."
"Yeah." Lan Jing nodded, "He came to An Luo to find me in person."
Although the overall environment of the empire is relatively peaceful recently, Meng Jinhuai's work is still very busy. Duan Hengye couldn't imagine when Meng Jinhuai took the time to find Lan Jingchi in An Luo. "He didn't ask me to tell you about this." Lan Jingchi added very frankly, apparently taking Master Marshal's "warning" as deaf ears.
Seeing that Lan Jingchi didn't follow the routine so much, Duan Hengye didn't even know what to say for a while. After thinking for a while, Duan Hengye was also like Lan Jingchi, directly speaking out the doubts in his heart. Duan Hengye asked Lan Jingchi: "Meng Jinhuai...what did he say?"
Lan Jingchi recalled for a while, and then replied: "Master Marshal said to me...The research I won last time can help you, so he hopes that I can go to the research institute of Nan Zhuxing to continue this project. "
Although vaguely guessed something in his heart, Duan Hengye was still shocked after he really heard this from Lan Jingchi's mouth.
Duan Hengye never thought that one day Meng Jinhuai, as the imperial marshal, would actually find a student at school for himself. But besides this incident, did Meng Jinhuai say anything else to Lan Jingchi?
Probably at this moment, Duan Hengye's mood was all written on his face. Before he could ask, Lan Jingchi said, "Professor Duan, don't be nervous. The Marshal actually only said this part. But he also Said, the future will tell me the ins and outs of this matter."
Lan Jing did not tell Duan Hengye how shocked he was when Meng Jinhuai came to look for him that day. Although Meng Jinhuai put down his work and rushed to meet Du Guangxing and Lan Jingchi, and made very attractive research conditions. But before seeing Duan Hengye today, Lan Jingchi was still hesitating. However, after seeing Duan Hengye's expression at this time, Lan Jingchi was completely sure in his heart that he wanted to join the Nan Zhuxing Research Institute.
Duan Hengye's heart was full of flavours. After a long time, he finally said "Thank you" to Lan Jingchi.
After hearing Duan Hengye's words, Lan Jingchi smiled at him unusually heartily, and then said, "Professor Duan, you have helped me so much, don't say thank you. After all, to me from Nan Zhuxing, It is also the most suitable research environment."
Lan Jingchi is really not polite at this point. Nan Zhuxing's subordinate research institute is extremely strong in scientific research and has a high degree of freedom. Coupled with Meng Jinhuai's promise to Lan Jingchi, going there is indeed a good choice for him.
...
Because many of the guests who came to participate in the school celebration are old, today's event did not last too long. After the banquet was officially over, Duan Hengye didn't turn on the light brain work as before, after meeting the school leaders and returning to his residence, instead...unusually, he opened the communication with Meng Jinhuai on the star network.
This time they used voice communication, and Meng Jinhuai was working on the other side of the communication. As the marshal of the empire, Meng Jinhuai had to deal with various affairs every day. Coincidentally, when Duan Hengye was chatting with him, Meng Jinhuai happened to be looking at the recent military mech status statistics.
This is regarded as Duan Hengye's professional field, so Meng Jinhuai also shared the content with Duan Hengye while working. If someone else hears it, they will probably think that the content of Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai's chat is a bit boring, but the two of them really chatted together like this, and it was not annoying at all.
There is a considerable time difference between Nan Zhuxing and Duguangxing, and I don't know how long it has been, Duan Hengye slowly became sleepy. When communicating, he was nesting himself on the small sofa in the study. Although the sofa was not big, it was very comfortable. So while talking, Duan Hengye became more and more confused.
In fact, Hengye was able to stay up late, but who told him to be learning mecha driving recently. Although the state is much better than before, the body still needs more adequate rest to replenish energy.
I don't know how long Meng Jinhuai heard the communication and suddenly there was no voice. Since a long time ago, Meng Jinhuai's light brain has added the time of Duguangxing and the research institute in addition to the Southern Star Standard Time. After hearing that there was no sound, Meng Jinhuai habitually glanced at the time of Crossing Light Star, and then found that it was already the night at Duan Hengye at this time.
Nevertheless, Meng Jinhuai still did not cut off the communication, he kept the signal like this, and finished all the work. Meng Jinhuai's office was so quiet that he could still hear Duan Hengye's shallow breathing faintly. After a while, Meng Jinhuai finally finished the work at hand. He did not rush to rest, but instead called his assistant to temporarily rearrange the work schedule for the next two days.
Although the sofa is comfortable to sit on, it is a bit small after all. Asleep, Duan Hengye also vaguely felt a little uncomfortable. When Meng Jinhuai came to Duguangxing, what he saw was a scene like Duan Hengye nesting himself on a small sofa, covered with a beige blanket. This scene seemed familiar...
After seeing Duan Hengye sound asleep, Meng Jinhuai couldn't help slowing down. It was not until this time that Meng Jinhuai went over to gently turn off the voice communication. The marshal did not wake Duan Hengye, but walked over and slowly picked him up from the sofa. Although Duan Hengye is tall, he doesn't have much flesh on his body. He is a little scary because of his light weight.
Suddenly leaving the warm sofa, Duan Hengye couldn't help but frown. But probably because of being extremely sleepy and trusting the people around him, he still didn't even mean to wake up.
Dimly, Duan Hengye felt that he was gently placed on the soft bed, and then suddenly a shallow kiss fell on his forehead.
...
Recently, Duan Hengye's biological clock has finally fully recovered. The next morning, when the sky outside the window was bright, Duan Hengye opened his eyes on time. After a full night of sleep, Duan Hengye's thinking was particularly clear at this time. But despite this, the first thing Duan Hengye did subconsciously after getting up was... reached out his hand and gently touched his forehead. By the way, the corner of his mouth still carries a slight smile that he didn't even realize.
Immediately afterwards, the fully awake brain immediately told Duan Hengye that the place where he fell asleep last night was not the bedroom, but the sofa in the study!
So, isn't the feeling last night a dream? Duan Hengye quickly turned and looked at the other side of the bed. He found that although there was no one there now, the pillow placement was different from yesterday.
Duan Hengye stood by the bed, and then walked outside the house barefoot, but before he left the house, the door of the bedroom bathroom was pushed open from inside. Meng Jinhuai, who was wearing black silk pajamas, walked out of it. It was obvious that he had just finished washing, and there were still a few drops of water hanging on the tips of his hair.
After seeing Meng Jinhuai's appearance, Duan Hengye was completely stunned. When he was in Nan Zhuxing, Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai lived in the same bedroom. But probably because the room over there is too big, there is more than one bathroom in the bedroom alone. Duan Hengye has never seen such an adult Marshal before.
"What's wrong?" Meng Jinhuai asked with a smile, "Are you still awake?" Duan Hengye's state is really like sleepwalking now.
After hearing the words of Master Marshal, he quickly replied: "No...I woke up." Duan Hengye silently looked away. He would never admit that he had fallen into a kind of "flower" for a short time. Go in the mood of idiot.
Hearing this, Meng Jinhuai smiled, and then said to Duan Hengye, "That's good." At the same time, Duan Hengye finally adjusted his mood. He was going to walk past Meng Jinhuai and enter the bathroom. But at this moment, Meng Jinhuai once again held out Duan Hengye.
Meng Jinhuai shook his head gently to meet the other's doubtful eyes. He smiled and said softly to Duan Hengye, "Remember to wear shoes."
