I'm waiting for you in my memory

Chapter 53 The Fallen Shrine (2)
Situ Jue, who was seen through, blushed, and immediately felt ashamed of his "little heart", so he hurriedly asked Zou Jin for the address of his residence, and he seemed to be busy there, so he quickly ended the call after giving the address.

Before going out at night, Yao Qiyun hadn't come back from the hospital where he was an intern. Situ Jue originally wanted to call him to talk about it, thinking that he didn't agree with Zou Jin's behavior, and it was true that she wanted Zou Jin. Yu had no choice but to put the mobile phone she took out back into her backpack, thinking that one thing more is worse than one thing less.

She told her mother that she was going to visit Wujiang, but Xue Shaoping didn't say anything. Her mother had always been tolerant and even "happy to see what happened" in her contact with Wujiang.

Zou Jin lived in a well-known area where rich people gathered. According to the address he gave, Situ Jue easily found a small white single-family building hidden in the shade of a tree.Although Situ Jue was born in a wealthy family, for some reason, she has a ridiculous inherent idea, that is, most people who engage in scientific research are poor.Of course, she does not reject this kind of poverty, but when she first saw Zou Jin's private house with an excellent location and high value, she was still a little surprised.

As soon as it got dark, Zou Jin had already got off the plane and was on his way home. Situ Jue was not in a hurry, and walked around the house. The sparsely arranged trees and fences looked very luxuriant. The lawn in the small courtyard is neat and elegant, which suits Situ Jue's wishes.Her house is located in a prime location in the old city. It is prosperous enough, but there is always a lack of leisure. She used to think that such a small building would only appear in middle-class settlements abroad.

She was just looking at it with her chin up, when she heard the sound of wheels approaching, she turned her head in amazement, and when she saw Zou Jin's car, she realized that he came back faster than expected.

Zou Jin rolled down the car window, smiled at Situ Jue, parked the car aside, and said, "Out of common sense, I still want to ask, Student Situ, would you like to come in and sit down for a cup of tea?"

Situ Jue quickly shook his head, "I'd better not bother you, Zou...Dean."

She doesn't seem to know whether to call him Professor Zou or Dean Zou every time.Zou Jin laughed again, although Situ Jue didn't know that this silly little detail was worthy of "Zou Yan Wang" laughing.

"This is the hospital certificate of student Wei Yougen suffering from acute herpes zoster. Please take a look, Dean Zou, please give him a chance to graduate smoothly. He usually works very hard, and his family is counting on it." It's not easy for him. The absence of the exam is just an accident, and it will never happen again in the future."

Zou Jin took the "masterpiece" of Wu Jiang, glanced at it hastily, and rubbed his forehead, "I'm tired, I can't compare to you young people, how about it, let's talk in the yard."

It was only then that Situ Jue noticed that he was still carrying luggage in his hand and a coat on his wrist. Although his demeanor remained undiminished, his face could hardly conceal the tiredness.She couldn't help cursing herself for being too impatient, and she could only nod at this moment.

There is a set of leisure tables and chairs painted with white paint on the lawn of the yard. Situ Jue doggedly went to carry a bag for Zou Jin, but Zou Jin refused with a smile.The two sat on the chairs, and Zou Jin put down his things, as if he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dean Zou, you are a famous person now. Everyone says that you are the treasure of the school of pharmacy and the goal of everyone's struggle." Situ Jue seemed to have honey on his mouth, and he could pick and say whatever sounds good, but she It is indeed true.

"Really?" The corners of Zou Jin's mouth just raised slightly, "Situ Jue, does the 'everyone' you mentioned include you?"

"Of course!" Situ Jue looked sincere, "But I know it's too difficult to reach your height."

"But it's easy to fall from such a height." Ordinarily, Zou Jin, who should be proud of the spring breeze recently, can't see much joy on his face. On the contrary, there is only tiredness and a little helplessness. "Honor is a good thing. It's a lifelong dream for people like us, but when it comes to profit, a lot of unpleasant things follow."

Situ Jue stared blankly at the middle-aged professor who enjoys fame and fortune, has achieved a lot, and is like a fire cooking oil.She didn't know why he suddenly had such an exclamation, but judging by his appearance, what he said didn't seem like a lie.

Zou Jin fiddled with Xiao Gen's "hospital certificate" unconsciously, and suddenly asked, "Situ Jue, what kind of person am I in your eyes?"

"Ah?" This question was really abrupt and strange. Situ Jue was not prepared at all. After being startled, she followed her original intention and said, "I didn't think too much about it. You are the teacher I respect very much. Academically admirable senior." She thought for a while, and then added embarrassingly, "Although many people say that you are usually a little strict, a little bit!"

Zou Jin smiled and said, "I think it's more than a little bit." His smile slowly took on a hint of self-deprecation, "Actually, I'm not very good at dealing with others, and I can never learn to be tactful. On the one hand, and on the other, too casual. In a way, I think I failed because I wasn't rational enough."

"No one is perfect, professor, I think you are already perfect. The complete rationality you said can only be achieved by a sage, but a sage is very lonely." Situ Jue said.

"My wife once asserted that my personality is not suitable for development in China, but I didn't listen to her. Now I think she is right."

"It's the first time I've heard you mention the teacher's wife." Situ Jue still couldn't hide his curiosity. Everyone heard that Zou Jin was married, but his other half was He Fangsheng. Are rarely heard.

Zou Jin said: "My wife is a very admirable woman." He then said a name to Situ Jue, and Situ Jue opened his eyes wide. She is no lower than Zou Jin in terms of grades and academic status, and even surpasses him. Situ Jue only knows that she is in the United States, but never connects her with Zou Jin.

"She has given me a lot of help and is a good teacher and helpful friend in my life. In front of her, I always look like an elementary school student who is prone to make mistakes. So I insist on choosing to return to China to develop, not in the same galaxy, far away from the sun, maybe I can feel myself It's not that bleak." Zou Jin laughed at himself.

Unable to explain why, Situ Jue always felt it was strange to hear someone respecting his lover so politely.She thought that perhaps the higher level of combination was beyond her comprehension, like Beauvoir and Sartre, like Tsai Chin and Edward Yang.Anyway, she can't achieve this kind of realm, even if she and Yao Qiyun dissolve each other, they still want to be the closest planet in the universe.

"She felt that I was bound to be frustrated in China, and I wanted to prove her wrong. At first, I was full of ambition and wanted to show my strengths, but then I discovered that the entire academic world is not what I imagined. I can't stand those Sloppy and perfunctory on the scene, but even my carefully selected disciples can't escape these vicious circles. They think I'm strict, maybe it's just that our ideas are different. As for my colleagues... don't say it, I often I feel like a soldier wearing a heavy gold armor walking in a swamp." At this point, Zou Jin seemed to realize that he had said too much, shook his head and smiled, "Look, why am I telling you this, you are a very simple My child, it’s good to be like this all the time, just listen to the complaints of a middle-aged man... As for the classmate surnamed Wei you mentioned..."

Situ Jue quickly brought the focus of the conversation back to the center of her attention, "Wei Yougen! Professor Zou, please let him take the exam again."

Zou Jin pushed the "hospital certificate" back in front of Situ Jue with one finger, "If he faces repeated grades, then this time it should be the third time he failed the exam. From my standpoint, I think he will retake the exam again." Years is not a bad thing. The pharmaceutical industry is different from other industries, and practitioners' mistakes will bring unpredictable and serious consequences, so I hope that every graduate student is qualified."

"If you give him a chance to make up the exam, if he doesn't pass, repeating the grade is the result he should bear. You only need one chance, Professor Zou!"

Facing Situ Jue's plea, Zou Jin asked calmly: "This is his business. Why didn't he come to me in person, but asked you to come forward? Even if it is herpes zoster, it doesn't affect him to call or send a message. mail."

Situ Jue was at a loss for words for a while, she couldn't say, because of Xiao Gen's character and his fear of Zou Jin, let him come to beg Zou Jin in person, I'm afraid he would rather repeat the grade directly.She couldn't find a reason to prevaricate, so she simply said to Zou Jin, "I don't blame him, I proposed to replace him. Professor Zou, if Wei Yougen came to beg you, would you really nod your head?"

"He is very lucky to have a friend like you." Zou Jin raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "Whether it is his own idea or your own idea, it is right to put the treasure on you. You know it is difficult for me to refuse you."

Before Situ Jue could react, Zou Jin put one hand on the back of her hand that was lying flat on the wooden table, and patted it lightly as if approving.That strength is like caressing.

There was a bang in Situ Jue's mind, he withdrew his hand like lightning, stood up abruptly, almost knocked over the chair behind him, all the rumors about Zou Jin wafted past his ears.

She never believed it, she had always respected him so much.

"Professor Zou, you..."

Zou Jin didn't expect her reaction to be so fierce, and he felt a little embarrassed when he withdrew his hand, but he quickly recovered his composure.

"Scared you? You sit down first."

Situ Jue did not follow her words, she took a step back, but did not turn around and leave immediately.

"I'm here for Xiao Gen, Professor Zou, if you are willing to help him, I will thank you for him; if you refuse, I can only tell him that I have tried my best."

"I said, you sit down first. You don't have to look at me so scary. Yes, I admit that I like young and beautiful girls. You will make me feel that I have a youthful and clean vigor. Situ Jue, I do like you, I guess you're not unaware, I'm not good at hiding it, maybe that's my weakness. But to be honest, I have no shortage of women, and it's long before I see a good thing and have to swallow it The age in the belly."

"I regard you as the most admirable teacher!"

"You can still look at me like this, it's not contradictory." Zou Jin also stood up, trying to walk to her side, Situ Jue took another step back.

"I've seen the list of guaranteed graduate students in the college. If you want to be my graduate student, that's good. You will be my last disciple. With your talent, as long as you are willing, you may be able to stand taller than me one day. I don't mind being your cornerstone, you don't even need to give me anything in return... Don't you believe it? Some things are like stars in the sky, you don't have to take them off if you like them."

"Professor, your metaphors are so many and very interesting. It turns out that you stay away from the sun to look up at the stars, and I guess your sky must be full of stars!" Situ Jue said coldly. The shrine in his heart collapsed suddenly for the person who he still regarded as a god, splashing dust all over the ground.At this time, Situ Jue actually felt a little sad, not for anything else but because of her own stupid beliefs, even Qi Yun told her to stay away from Zou Jin, she thought it was a rumor, she believed that perfect things existed of.

At this moment, the lights in the room turned on, and the sudden light was close at hand, like a cluster of light sources rising from the chaos, illuminating everything with nowhere to hide.Situ Jue didn't expect that there were people in the room, not only her, but even Zou Jin's face was obviously confused and shocked.

Accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, the door that had been closed all along was opened from the inside.

"I didn't even know you were back. I waited for a long time and fell asleep..."

The familiar voice is gentle and clear.

Situ Jue is like a stone sculpture standing in the courtyard.She thought she was having a bizarre nightmare.Although there was no fear in this dream, it was full of dirt beyond her imagination.

The people inside the door were also stunned, still maintaining the posture of opening the door ajar.

There was a deathly silence, as if any words would ignite a poisonous snake like sparks.

"Is this the real reason why you are estranged from me?" The desolation of the person who spoke first was beyond words.

Zou Jin whispered, "No, don't think that way."

But Situ Jue woke up from the dream. She looked at the other girl and asked in a daze, "Why?! Wu Jiang is so good to you."

Qu Xiaowan didn't pay attention to Situ Jue's words at all, her eyes were fixed on Zou Jin's body.

"I'm with her..." Zou Jin turned to Situ Jue in frustration, and Situ Jue grabbed the "hospital certificate" on the desktop, turned around and left.

"It has nothing to do with me."

Situ Jue rushed out of the small courtyard, and when he ran to the edge of the shade of the trees on both sides, he suddenly heard the rustling of the branches and leaves.

"Who?"

She suspected that she had heard it wrong, the night came quietly at some point, behind the shade of the trees that the street lamps could not reach was the thick bushes, and there was no sound there soon.
