Aftermath of breakup

Chapter 63

Pei Yi paused as he walked forward. Although he knew that Xia Pa said that on purpose, he still couldn't help but feel a little wandering.

He also said "cohabitation" with Duan Xinglian back then.

Although the time in the 403 dormitory is far away, his people move forward with the years, and all the concepts of intimacy and beauty still stay in that small space.

At that time, they kissed as soon as their eyes met, rubbed their shoulders and elbows when they were studying together, Duan Xinglian hugged him on his lap and wiped his face, slept in each other's arms at night, and were confused in the quilt...

If it weren't for the fact that they were young at that time and each other had the last restraint, the memories now would make people blush even more.

But when I think about it now, it seems like it happened in my previous life.

Pei Yi closed his eyes, and dismissed all these things from his mind, as if thinking about it for a moment would be a blasphemy to the other party.

Pei Yi didn't reply, not even a plausible warning to Xia Pa.

Xia Pa was even more surprised by this, and couldn't help looking back, only to find that the imposing man was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window in the hotel lobby, twisting the watch on his right hand with his left hand, looking deeply at Pei Yi's departure. back view.

Xia Pa paused and thought to himself, it seems that Senior Pei, the flower of Gaoling, has a wonderful past.

-

The two went all the way to the Institute of Chemistry. Professor Lu didn't come back last night, and he was already waiting at the institute. Director Liu and Xu Mingru were also present.

Professor Lu is a round-headed, kind-hearted little old man. He laughed when he saw his lover, and then introduced Pei Yi and Director Liu.

Y National Chemical Society has a lot of in-depth cooperation with the chemical research institute here. When Pei Yi and Xu Mingru exchanged emails, Director Liu was behind him. Director Liu knew that Pei Yi helped to do a lot of experiments, and Professor Lu always liked to follow. He bragged about how outstanding and powerful his apprentice was, but he never expected that he was such a handsome young man.

When Director Liu saw him now, he couldn't help but said: "You are young, you have a lot to do. I don't know if you have considered going back to China for development? The door of our Chemical Research Institute can be opened for you at any time."

Although he knew that the other party's dialect might be somewhat polite, Pei Yi couldn't help being taken aback.

However, when Professor Lu saw someone coming, he poached his corner, and immediately became anxious. He spoke pure Mandarin and stopped him with a smile: "Old Liu, you are not kind, and I will lose him if Xiao Yi follows me?"

"Our school is not bad! If you really don't like it, Lao Li from P Dahuayuan next door will also come today, and it's okay to teach in their school."

Professor Lu said, "You have a good idea."

The two people argued about this, pretending to be true, and then evolved into a comparison of the conditions of the two laboratories.

Pei Yi smiled lightly and said nothing.

But Xu Mingru may have seen this kind of scene a lot in the past two days, so he was very calm at the moment, and walked into the laboratory first to prepare for the topic they were going to discuss today.

Pei Yi's research direction is mainly the interdisciplinary subject of polymer science and materials. The research on conjugated molecular materials and devices discussed this time is exactly in line with his direction.

Director Liu also organized an exchange meeting, where all bigwigs in the chemical industry gathered, and the time was scheduled for the day after tomorrow.

They communicated in advance today.

It didn't take long, about two hours, and several people came out of the laboratory again.

Director Liu had to go to a cooperation meeting in the evening. Seeing that Professor Lu had nothing to do with him, he wanted to take him with him: "Let's go together at night. We'll book the Swallow House. The food there is very good."

Director Liu has a very good relationship with Professor Lu. If there is anything to say, "The CEO of the other company is also here. He is Mrs. Li's protégé. It just so happens that you can also see the wealth of our partner."

In fact, the main reason is that the cooperation project this time is related to the topic they are going to discuss, and although their chemical research institute is ranked first in everything, the talents and laboratory conditions are the best, but some projects have a long period of time or the application is not enough. If you are successful, there is little support from the national fund, and sometimes you will cooperate with the company. You give me capital turnover, and I give you a patent license, which is a mutually beneficial and win-win situation.

And this kind of in-depth cooperation, ordinary companies dare not be contaminated, and those who can win are large groups with strong strength.

So seeing is always right.

It just so happened that Xu Mingru also said politely at this time: "Yes, you guys are also going to support us."

Director Liu looked at Pei Yi, rejoiced in his heart, and said: "Before, Lao Li boasted that his wife's protégé was like something, saying that he was young, promising and handsome. I didn't believe it. Give us a long face in the scientific research community."

So far, the matter has been settled.

Pei Yi doesn't like to socialize, but fortunately, Professor Lu never asks him anything, and when he goes, he only eats with rims.

Thinking so, Pei Yi followed a group of people into the box, originally lowered his head, but suddenly felt a burst of fiery gaze that could not be ignored.

At the same time, Xia Pa who was beside him lightly bumped into his shoulder.

Pei Yi looked up, but met Duan Xinglian's eyes.

When Pei Yi was doing the experiment just now, he wore a pair of silver thin-rim glasses, which were placed on the bridge of his straight nose, so that he could clearly see everything about the person in front of him.

Pei Yi's heart tightened, he never expected to meet again so suddenly.

Less than two days after returning home, this is already the third time.

He blinked, feeling a little helpless in his eyes, but before he could react, Duan Xinglian looked away.

Pei Yi curled his fingertips slightly, ignored Xia Pa's weak heckling, and followed everyone to the banquet to sit down.

Just take off the glasses while sitting down. His prescription is not deep, but it will still be a little blurry if you are far away. At this time, this blurring is just right, which can relieve his tension.

Pei Yi and Duan Xinglian sat at opposite ends, almost facing each other in a straight line.

At this time, a person who looks like a project manager from Xinglian Company is introducing to both parties.

But Professor Lu and Pei Yi were newcomers, and when they were introduced, Professor Li from P Dahua Institute took over the conversation.

This time the two parties were able to cooperate successfully, and there is no lack of Professor Li who was the link. His wife is a professor at the School of Management and Duan Xinglian's former master supervisor. After Duan Xinglian graduated, the two parties often walked around.

After introducing Professor Lu's prestigious titles, Duan Xinglian stood up and walked over to shake hands with Professor Lu.

Professor Lu didn't expect the other party to be so polite. It stands to reason that although the fields of the two parties overlap, the scientific research and the group have different focuses, and the other party is Party A, not his student, so he was a little surprised.

Professor Lu stood up with a smile, clasped hands with Duan Xinglian, and said some sweet words: "I heard that Mr. Duan is young and promising, and now I see him, he is so awesome, amazing."

"Professor has won the award." Even so, Duan Xinglian's expression was neither humble nor overbearing, but he added inexplicably afterwards, "Thank you, Professor."

With a modest remark, Professor Lu didn't know what he was thanking, but he probably knew that the people of the country refused to ask, so he didn't ask.

On the contrary, Professor Li from the School of Chemistry was very satisfied with the scene. His wife, a student, was indeed an excellent student. He rolled his eyes and introduced Xia Pa and Pei Yi.

There were also many compliments in the words, Xia Pa couldn't understand some idioms, but as long as they were good words, he responded to them, and shook hands with Duan Xinglian.

When shaking hands, I couldn't help giving him a very gossipy look.

Duan Xinglian narrowed his eyes slightly, realizing that this person seemed to know something.

What did Pei Yi tell him?

Immediately afterwards, it was Pei Yi's turn.

At this moment, Pei Yi was staring at Duan Xinglian's slender fingers with well-defined bones.

He slowly stretched out his hand, and time seemed to slow down suddenly, as if it was slowing down frame by frame.

When the palms were clasped, the warm body temperature came gradually, soaking the limbs and bones in an instant, causing waves in the heart to rise suddenly.

Pei Yi was in a daze, feeling the familiar yet unfamiliar temperature of the other party.

In the end, Pei Yi reacted first and was about to withdraw his hand, but he never thought that when he pulled away, there was a sudden force in his palm, and Duan Xinglian grabbed his hand.

Pei Yi raised his eyes, but saw Duan Xinglian looking at him, and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear: "Long time no see."

Pei Yi's heart beat faster, and an unknown emotion gradually welled up in his eyes.

Fortunately, after Duan Xinglian finished speaking, he let go of him, turned around and returned to his seat.

Next, Duan Xinglian looked like he was okay again, and exchanged drinks with several professors and doctoral students present.

When talking about project cooperation, the two sides also had a very happy chat.

However, although Duan Xinglian was prepared for this - when he met Pei Yi in the elevator yesterday, he was planning to go to the parking lot to get the project information and review it again; Lian has been a master of learning since he was a child, and he doesn't hold it at this moment, he doesn't pretend to understand, and he will ask a few more questions when he encounters someone who is interested.

He pointed at Pei Yi and asked.

Pei Yi's mood fluctuated as soon as he talked to him, but seeing the other party's attitude was natural, and the question was professional, he answered seriously.

Later, Xu Mingru, who happened to watch Pei Yi's education experience yesterday, suddenly remembered something, and blurted out, "Didn't Pei Yi study in No. [-] Middle School before? I remember Mr. Duan was also in No. [-] Middle School, right? "

Pei Yi paused, but Duan Xinglian nodded generously: "Yes."

"Then you are considered alumni?" Xu Mingru seemed to have discovered something, "No wonder we can talk like this."

Duan Xinglian looked at Pei Yi who didn't look at him much when he was talking, and there seemed to be memories in his eyes, and he said softly, "I was a classmate for a year."

As soon as this remark came out, not only Xu Mingru was shocked, but several professors did not expect it either.

So the next topic naturally revolved around the two of them.

Everyone talks about them, but no one understands them.

Pei Yi's eyes were fixed, listening to Duan Xinglian answering the questions one by one.

"I didn't expect to meet, so I didn't say it in advance."

"The front and rear tables."

"He has better grades and I'm always trying to catch up with him."

"The relationship...is pretty good."

"Later...it was inconvenient to contact."

……

These words pierced into Pei Yi's ears one by one, and some gradually forgotten memories reappeared in full force, causing his nerves to shake.

At this time, Xia Pa, who only had gossip in his mind, finally saw the right time, but he didn't dare to ask too much, so he could only suppress and gossip bit by bit: "Who is more popular with Mr. Duan or our seniors?" Welcome?"

Duan Xinglian glanced at him, his eyes seemed to be sizing up, but he still replied: "He."

"he."

But at the same time, Pei Yi also opened his mouth.

Xia Pa suppressed his excitement, his eyes sparkled.

At this time, Professor Lu was also intrigued, and he also liked to worry about Pei Yi, so he inadvertently asked a question that Xia Pa didn't dare to ask: "So popular, did Xiao Yi have any campus romances in high school before? I have been with him for so many years, but I haven't seen him fall in love, and I don't want to introduce him to him, I always thought he had someone in his heart."

As soon as these words came out, Pei Yi instantly turned to look at Professor Lu.

In the first few years, he was introverted to the point where he was almost autistic. Professor Lu cared about him and thought of many ways. He did introduce several outstanding people to him, but Pei Yi refused them all.

Later, Professor Lu didn't intervene too much, but he probably still thought about it in his heart, so he couldn't help asking at this moment.

If you meet other classmates, it's okay, and it's okay to make jokes.

But sitting opposite is Duan Xinglian.

Pei Yi didn't dare to look back at all.

He didn't pay attention, Duan Xinglian paused slightly after hearing this, his eyes gradually deepened, and quickly became firm, as if he had made a decision in an instant.

Duan Xinglian stared at him while answering the professor's question: "Not sure."

This kind of thing is private/private, and Professor Lu didn't want to ask it at first, and he didn't get an answer right now, so he didn't ask any more.

On the contrary, Professor Li and Director Liu are also interested in this topic.

It can be seen that gossip is regardless of gender or age, everyone has a soul of gossip.

Director Liu sighed, and mentioned Xu Mingru and another student of his: "We are not the same, young people nowadays don't know what's going on, and none of them fall in love, but the problem is that I don't see them obsessed with subject experiments too much. .”

The other student didn't speak, Xu Mingru was more outgoing, and smiled helplessly: "Boss, I just want to live in the laboratory. After work, I just want to lie down. How can I have time to meet new people?"

Director Liu pulled Lang on the spot: "You still need newcomers? Which one of you here can't catch your eye?"

Director Liu got a little over the top after drinking, and turned his eyes to the protagonist of the topic just now: "Look at Xiao Pei, he is so handsome and powerful, and he can even lead you to publish the top magazine. If you are embarrassed, I will go and guide him explain."

Xu Mingru glanced at Pei Yi's indifferent face, his face flushed slightly, Duan Xinglian who was not far away saw everything in his eyes.

Xu Mingru suddenly felt a chill go down her spine, she shuddered, but waved her hands again and again: "Don't, don't, don't."

At the same time, Professor Lu also laughed: "You old Liu, you just fell in love with our little Yi, you have the heart of Sima Zhao!"

"Go, it's not just your little Pei, Mr. Duan is also very good!" He thought of something here, and quickly turned his head to ask, "Is Mrs. Duan interested?"

As soon as these words came out, Pei Yi's ears perked up unconsciously.

But before Duan Xinglian could speak, Professor Li answered first: "What does he have, my wife is also worried about him."

Speaking of this, Professor Li remembered what his wife told him before leaving the house, so he said casually during the meeting: "By the way, Xing Lian, your teacher said that there is someone she thinks is very suitable for you recently, and asked when you are free and whether you want to meet See you."

Director Liu laughed loudly: "Old Li, aren't you! Let's start the blind date, for fear that I will snatch it from you?"

Professor Li was interrupted by him, and he forgot before Duan Xinglian could answer, and just quarreled with Director Liu.

While talking, he changed the subject again and talked about his own children.

Xu Mingru breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously glanced at the two people who were mentioned just now.

Unexpectedly, she found out that Mr. Duan was always looking at Pei Yi from the corner of his eye, no matter whether he was talking to others or not.

Xu Mingru felt a little strange in his heart, how come this attention has surpassed that of ordinary classmates, right?

-

Later, the meal didn't end until nearly ten o'clock, and the host and guest had a good time.

Several professors were a little drunk, their students supported their tutors, and people from Duan Xinglian's company went to call cars for them respectively.

The others left first. Pei Yi was originally walking with Professor Lu. Halfway there, he found that the key card was not there. It must have fallen into the box when he took off his coat just now, so he turned back.

But he never thought that Duan Xinglian hadn't left yet, leaning slightly on the back of the chair, pinching the space between his eyebrows.

He drank a little too much tonight.

Duan Xinglian used to be a bad drinker, and he could get drunk with two bottles of beer. I don't know if he has improved over the years.

Pei Yi waited at the door for a while, not wanting to go in and disturb him immediately, but waiting for him to take a break.

Unexpectedly, Duan Xinglian took out his mobile phone and made a call.

The conversation reached Pei Yi's ears word for word.

"Hey, teacher, just finished eating, the professor drank some wine, and he may be home in 10 minutes."

"Thank you for the teacher's introduction. We talked very well this time. I will come to thank you another day."

During the period, they chatted about this matter for a while, but in the end they didn't know what was said there, Duan Xinglian changed the subject, feeling a little helpless in his words.

"No teacher, don't worry about it."

"I'm pretty busy."

"No, the person you introduced must be very good."

"Let's talk about it later, okay?"

"Okay, teacher, please rest early, goodbye."

After Duan Xinglian hung up the phone, a little tiredness appeared on his face.

He sat for a while, but suddenly turned his head and looked at Pei Yi, whom he had discovered through the reflective vase a long time ago, who was standing at the door at this moment.

Pei Yi was taken aback, and explained softly, "I'm looking for a room card."

Duan Xinglian didn't speak, but followed Pei Yi's figure with his eyes.

Pei Yi was so anxious that he was absent-minded when looking for something, and finally found it under the seat with great difficulty.

He leaned over to pick it up, stood there and hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Then I'll go first."

Pei Yi couldn't be alone in the same space with Duan Xinglian, so he walked out in a hurry.

But as soon as he got to the door, the person behind him suddenly said, "Pei Yi."

Pei Yi couldn't pretend he couldn't hear, so he could only stop.

Without turning his head, he heard Duan Xinglian's approaching footsteps again.

"My teacher wants to introduce me to someone."

Pei Yi blinked, the feeling of tingling fingertips came again, he responded softly: "Yes."

Pei Yi felt bored, but still thought, if you try more, you will always find the right person.

But at this point, Duan Xinglian changed the subject: "Will the people around you introduce you?"

In fact, very few, his attitude is cold, and as time goes by, there are no people around. What Professor Lu said just now happened a long time ago.

"Yes." But Pei Yi replied in a strange way.

"Are you distressed?"

It was impolite to turn his back on people all the time, Pei Yi turned his head, lowered his eyebrows, and replied in a low voice: "It's okay."

He hopes that what he shows is a forward-looking attitude, not that he can't get out of some old things.

"But I'm distressed." Unexpectedly, Duan Xinglian said so, and continued to testify, "The teacher is enthusiastic, and he always introduces three or five a year. With the kindness of the teacher, it is difficult to refuse; there are others who want to make connections. Come down, it's a little annoying."

Pei Yi's heartbeat gradually became faster, he thought, after meeting the right one, these troubles would be easily solved.

But this is not for him to say.

So I just asked along the way: "Then, what should I do?"

Duan Xinglian looked at him for a while, then said with a firm tone, "Can you do me a favor, please?"

Pei Yi raised his eyes suddenly, not understanding how he could help.

But he would not hesitate to help if he could, so he replied directly: "What?"

Duan Xinglian walked in front of him, more oppressive than before, Pei Yi instantly remembered the feeling of being hugged by this man in the past, and even his breathing became tense.

Then he heard Duan Xinglian say: "Stay with me for a month."
