Chapter 324 Let’s Complain
Qiu Huoming checked into the guesthouse. This time his room was 403, which was the second room in the corridor. Room 401 was vacant, and his room was very close to the bathroom.
After putting down his things, Qiu Huoming picked up the washbasin and went to take a bath. It was still a little cold in the capital in April. He was windy on the road and sweated from cycling. After taking a bath, he felt refreshed.
Qiu Huoming changed into clean clothes, carried his backpack and went to the restaurant downstairs to eat.
Today, Chang Gong came and left in a hurry. He hadn't been told about his next itinerary yet, so he might as well just move around within the guesthouse to avoid being unable to find him and causing trouble.
The first group of diners in the restaurant had already eaten, and the waiter was cleaning the table. There were very few people in the restaurant. Qiu Huoming got his meal and sat down in the corner. When he finished his meal and was about to leave, he saw two familiar figures walking in the corridor outside.
One of them was Mr. Zhao, and the other was a middle-aged man who took the train with him. The two were walking towards the gate, talking and laughing.
Gu Xiaoran smiled and said, "This is my refuge. Doesn't it look like our middle school?"
Qiu Huoming coughed behind her.
"I am nothing here, except for my good grades..." She said self-deprecatingly, "I am just someone you can't mess with..."
Qiu Huoming smiled bitterly. This man was really rude. Fortunately, he knew he was going out to eat, so Qiu Huoming put on his hat. There was a big temperature difference between morning and evening in Beijing, so it was never a bad thing to protect his ears.
After a few bites, my stomach felt warm and my whole body felt comfortable.
"I really miss that time..." Gu Xiaoran's smile gradually disappeared, and she tucked her fallen hair behind her ears again.
It was not until dinner time that Chang Gong finally arrived.
Dean Zhou allowed Qiu Huoming to move freely these days. There might be changes to his trip this time, but these were not something he could worry about.
He is just a young boy and cannot afford to offend such a fight between gods.
Qiu Huoming continued to eat the mutton as if nothing had happened. The taste of the mutton was indeed very authentic, many times better than that from the south.
The campus roads of Tsinghua University are relatively wide, but once you enter, they become winding. There are old buildings everywhere. After all, this was once the back garden of the imperial court, and the scenery is not found in ordinary places.
Qiu Huoming pulled up his backpack and walked quickly inside.
Qiu Huoming didn't hesitate to take it and continued eating.
Chang Gong walked over, turned a corner and went straight to the private room.
After taking a bite, the mutton is still a little hot in the mouth, and the fragrance overflows between the lips and teeth...
Qiu Huoming immediately turned around and put on his backpack, because all these belongings were his.
After going downstairs, Chang Gong’s 28-bar bicycle was still at the door.
"I was afraid of waiting too long, so I only ordered three plates. When the waiter came in to add water, we each ordered two servings..." Dean Zhou's face turned rosy as he ate.
There was a locked iron door on the rooftop. After Gu Xiaoran approached, he fiddled with it for a few times and the door opened.
Qiu Huoming smiled bitterly and said, "What a coincidence, we live together on the train, just separated by a wall..."
"I ride a bike?" Qiu Huoming asked.
The two of them were talking in low voices.
After turning several corners, we entered an alley.
"Not going to the cafeteria?"
Qiu Huoming followed suit, jumped up and followed behind her.
There was no one here. Gu Xiaoran took a deep breath and let go of Qiu Huoming's hand. She pointed to a corridor next to her and said, "Let's go to the rooftop..."
The girl next to her blushed and said, "I don't know about that. Anyway, the teacher asked me to inform you."
"Hey, it's you, why are you here?" Gu Xiaoran looked behind him and suddenly grabbed his hand, "The teacher is not here, hurry up..."
Qiu Huoming followed quickly.
When they arrived at the door, Qiu Huoming got out of the car. Chang Gong walked forward and pushed the car close to the door before locking it.
"How do we go?" Qiu Huoming asked after riding out of the gate.
Before he had ridden far, Qiu Huoming smelled the scent of hot pot. "Shabu-shabu mutton hot pot?"
There were discarded stones nearby. Gu Xiaoran sat on a stone near the wall with great familiarity. She pointed at the stone next to her and said to Qiu Huoming, "Sit down. This is your throne. The biggest stone next to you is for the fat man..."
At that moment, the students in the campus had just finished their early classes, and there were people coming and going on the road. Qiu Huoming found a familiar-looking student to ask where Gu Xiaoran's class was, and then followed him there.
A man in the work clothes of the research institute was waiting at the gate. This man was the one who had picked them up before.
"Huo Ming is here, come and sit down, it will open in a moment..." Dean Zhou seemed to be in a good mood.
He had a big appetite, and after finishing the last plate, he still felt unsatisfied. Dean Zhou pushed his plate of mutton, which still had more than half of it left, over to him, "That's enough for me."
Students in the capital are generally taller than those in the south, but only a few are as tall as Qiu Huoming.
He had plenty of time, so he simply bought some sugar-coated pancakes and soy milk from the breakfast shop next door and ate them while waiting. The taste of the pancakes was very much to his liking. After finishing one, he went to buy another one. This time, he had just taken a bite when the bus arrived...
Qiu Huoming took a glance and was pushed to the back of the carriage by the crowd. After paying the money, he held the horizontal handle with one hand, picked up the sugar-coated cake with the other hand, and began to eat it quickly.
Qiu Huoming decided to make the best of it since he was already here. It would be best if he had nothing to do. He had already made up his mind to go find Gu Xiaoran first, take a tour of Tsinghua University, and experience their campus culture.
Turning the corner, she jumped to the ground.
She looked up at Qiu Huoming, who bared his teeth and yelled, "Good for you, you're giving me a head start right after you came here, you promised to take me out to play, take me flying?"
Qiu Huoming was dragged by her, surrounded by some students looking at him in surprise.
Qiu Huoming followed them, picked up the mutton and put it in the water. After it changed color, he picked it up, dipped it in the seasoning, and then put it into his mouth.
The rooftop here is somewhat similar to the rooftop of his own middle school. The morning sunlight makes the rooftop distinctly bright and dark. Gu Xiaoran easily jumped onto a parapet, stretched out his arms, and walked forward along the narrow wall.
Chang Gong laughed even more happily, "I, Old Chang, don't attend everyone's dinner parties, but I eat with you and feel at ease."
Qiu Huoming vaguely heard a few words, but didn't take it seriously. Everyone has curiosity, and as long as it doesn't disturb others, it's fine.
Dean Zhou frowned, "Then I should be able to guess what it's about..."
Dean Zhou's eyebrows jumped, "How did you know?"
"That's right. You don't have to pay for it..." Dean Zhou responded unhappily.
When he said this, everyone thought that he had heard something by accident.
She was wearing a thick coat and a beige scarf. Her hair was cut short, just reaching her chin. She was talking to a girl next to her, with her face turned to the side and no smile on her face.
Chang Gong nodded, and the water in the pot finally began to boil, with a few green onions, star anise, and red dates rolling on the surface of the water...
"Take you somewhere."
"President Zhou, is everything settled?" Chang Gong asked President Zhou while holding chopsticks and looking at the water in the pot.
The people sitting in the back row were familiar with each other and started chatting immediately, all wondering whether he would get off at Tsinghua University.
After Chang Gong jumped into the back seat, Qiu Huoming suddenly accelerated.
Qiu Huoming walked over quickly, but before he could reach out to pat her shoulder, he heard Gu Xiaoran suddenly stop.
"The guest should follow the host's wishes, but..." Qiu Huoming looked at her with a smile and said, "You are a top student. Who have you ever been afraid of? Who can make you so timid? I really want to hear it..."
"Well, just now I almost thought I traveled through time..."
After a few people ate two plates of mutton in a row, they slowed down when they were eating the last plate of mutton.
"Go straight and turn right at the second intersection..." Chang Gong behind him pointed at the road slowly.
Gu Xiaoran drew two circles on the ground with his toes, then turned to look at Qiu Huoming and said, "You asked me to say that. You can't blame me for ruining your good mood..."
We had a very enjoyable meal and it was already eight o'clock in the evening when we got home.
"I don't blame you. Just treat me to roast duck at noon." Qiu Huoming responded with a smile.
There was an imperceptible joy in Gu Xiaoran's voice.
Qiu Huoming jumped down as well. It was very quiet here. Through a wall, one could overlook part of the campus.
Qiu Huoming put down his textbook and stretched, "I'm a little hungry now."
It was not yet rush hour, and he squeezed onto the bus with a sugar-coated cake in his mouth. There were several passengers who looked like students on the bus.
He had guessed this on the way, "Hello, Uncle Zhou." Qiu Huoming greeted him.
Chang Gong handed him the car keys without saying a word.
He was not wearing a school badge and entered the school gate with a few students without being stopped by anyone.
Dean Zhou shook his head. "I got wind of it. I can probably guess what it is. Let's eat first and stop talking about unhappy things..."
After much difficulty, they found the building where Gu Xiaoran was going to have class. The bell had already rung. This was the first class. Qiu Huoming followed the crowd in and went up to the third floor. He saw Gu Xiaoran's familiar figure from a distance.
Her voice was filled with annoyance. "This is my project. I applied for it independently. Why should I join others? Doesn't he think about it himself?"
Gu Xiaoran turned back angrily and suddenly froze. She pointed at Qiu Huoming and asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
She turned around and smiled slyly, "Are you jealous of my Kong Kong'er's skills?"
This is just an ordinary house in the hutong, a courtyard with two rooms connected and several tables placed in it. There is a private room on the left, which is brightly lit.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Qiu Huoming. "You are really my lucky star. Your words reminded me."
Dean Zhou knocked on the table, turned around and said to Chang Gong: "Go and ask about it tomorrow..."
Qiu Huoming thought for a moment and told about what he saw in the guesthouse today, "This Mr. Zhao has a close relationship with the Sakura Country..."
The pot has been placed on the square table, with three plates of mutton next to it. The water has not yet boiled, but smoke is curling up, and the spices in the pot are floating up and down, with an aroma everywhere.
Chang Gong said with a smile: "It's more refreshing to go out for dinner with President Zhou..."
Qiu Huoming sat on a rock and turned to look at her. "Tell me about it?"
Qiu Huoming looked at him silently. It was a good point. He had learned it.
Qiu Huoming touched his cheek. It shouldn’t be that serious. He just stayed up late to read a book for half the night. How could his complexion be so bad?
Gu Xiaoran took a step forward and quickly twisted the back of his exposed hand, "Eh..."
"Don't go..."
"It's not the first time. This teacher is so hateful. He always interferes in my affairs..." Gu Xiaoran ran to the fifth floor in one breath. This building is old and not tall. The top is on the sixth floor.
They ran quickly along the corridor, and when they reached a staircase, she ran up instead of down.
Gu Xiaoran raised his head. "You just got here, and I'm complaining to you. This is not appropriate. Let's think about it. Next, I'll take you to play somewhere..."
He stood at the school gate and looked at the school sign at the door. Several students behind him had already followed him.
When the door opened, Qiu Huoming saw Dean Zhou sitting opposite the door.
Forty minutes later, they arrived at Tsinghua University and Qiu Huoming squeezed in through the back door.
"Let's go." He stepped over the threshold and walked inside.
There were three plates of mutton, one for each person, so there was no need to fight over them.
"You have a good nose. It's hotpot. When the weather gets cold, I just love it..." Chang Gong clicked his tongue in the back seat.
Dean Zhou took a sip of tea and began to speak: "Be careful with your words recently. Don't say a word about confidentiality. If there is anything, let them come to me..."
The sky was still bright, and the air was cool. Qiu Huoming stepped on the bike and had just ridden a few meters when Chang Gong yelled, "Slow down..."
Qiu Huoming raised the corner of his mouth, "Xiao Ran, you skipped class..."
"I'm envious!" Qiu Huoming followed with amusement.
Qiu Huoming followed Chang Gong and sat down.
"It's delicious." Qiu Huoming praised.
Qiu Huoming remembered the department that Gu Xiaoran was in. There were signs for it as he walked along the main road.
The next morning, Qiu Huoming went out early. The bus stop was not far away and there was a direct bus there.
It's the one with the red lantern hanging. There are several bicycles parked in front of the door in a disorderly manner.
He still looked a bit childish, and at first glance he looked like a student.
As soon as he entered the room, he complained: "I have been in a meeting this afternoon and it's already late. Are you hungry?"
"Let's go out to eat."
Qiu Huoming walked to the corridor and took a look.
Qiu Huoming laughed, "Thank you for your grace..."
The bowls, chopsticks and seasonings were already placed in front of him. Dean Zhou probably calculated the time to place the order.
Chang Gong was delighted, and he shook the curtain open and closed the door behind him.
Qiu Huoming took a glance and turned back.
"What's so delicious about roast duck? It's not as good as pork chop noodles..." Gu Xiaoran looked unimpressed, "Then I'll just complain to you reluctantly."
"I applied for a project. Didn't I say before that I wanted to develop a car that everyone can drive? During the military training last year, I tried to drive a military vehicle. The steering wheel was ridiculously heavy. I think many people can't learn it, but they can't drive it at all..."
