Qingqingzijin, miss my heart

Chapter 5 Love Is the Superstition of the Right Time and Place (1)
01
At the end of February, it is still winter, but the winter in the south is not so cold.

Cen Nian opened the mailbox very nervously, but the three big characters "Failed" took up the entire screen, it was a notice of the English pronunciation competition, she looked down, and saw Jiang Bei's opinion in the judges column - boring.

Just two words broke her girl's heart again.

"It's over, it failed again." She lay powerlessly on the bed.

Tang Yin, who came out of the bathroom, looked at her computer screen after hearing the sound, and said with a matter of course: "It's normal, and it's not the first time."

"Hey!"

After seeing her friend baring her teeth, Tang Yin shrugged and said, "Are you going to continue chasing him?"

In fact, from the perspective of a bystander and a good friend, Tang Yin is not optimistic about Cen Nian's relationship. At first, she tried her best to help Cen Nian pursue Jiang Bei, the vice president, but after witnessing Cen Nian's relationship with her own eyes, After all kinds of failures, she also began to reflect.

——Should she continue to support Cen Nian's relationship?

Although every time Cen Nian was rejected, she would appear in front of Vice President Jiang Bei lively and vigorously the next day, but Tang Yin, who lived in a dormitory, knew that Cen Nian would actually be sad too.

Cen Nian folded her arms, as if recalling all kinds of things about Jiang Bei, and then said with a smile: "Why don't you continue to chase?" She asked lightly, which actually confirmed her confidence in chasing.

Tang Yin thought about her words, and said, "You've been chasing him for a while, and you've spent half a year of your youth and still haven't gotten anything... Or, why don't you chase him with another boy?"

"No, it's up to him." Cen Nian turned over, lay on the pillow, looked at Tang Yin who was sitting on the opposite bed, and said firmly just like when he made the declaration for the first time, "I said, I must Follow him."

Tang Yin stared blankly at her bright eyes, and sighed: "Although Vice President Jiang Bei is handsome, good at studying, and has a bright future, even in the entire A University, he is a rare masterpiece, but... his temper It's not like you don't know how many people you have discouraged. You have been chasing him for so long, but when has he ever given you a good face? You haven't become a couple yet. That's it. I regret it, and I won't comfort you either!"

"I won't regret it." Cen Nian rested his chin in both hands, and cast his eyes out of the window. Tang Yin couldn't see the expression on her face, but could feel her heart from her voice, "I fell in love with him, It started with his voice, so gentle, so affectionate, like a big warm hand that melts when touched."

Even if he rejects me countless times, I will stick to the original tenderness.

——The real senior Jiang Bei is a gentle person.

Tang Yin was silent for a few seconds, then threw the pillow on the bed onto Cen Nian's face, turned around and said, "What's the 'big warm hand', it's really disgusting... How can you tell me to look directly at Vice President Jiang Bei in the future? Long!"

Cen Nian hugged Tang Yin's pillow, staring at her blankly.

"However...if you really like it that much, let's go after her!" Tang Yin turned her back to her, huddled in the quilt, "If you fail to confess again next time, I will lend you my shoulder."

From the perspective of a friend, all she can do now after giving advice is support.

"Tang Yin..." Cen Nian felt his throat itch, and asked, "Aren't you in 'tsundere'?"

"roll!"

02
In the early spring of March, it is warm and cold, and you can still see a little white mist with a light breath.

Jiang Bei frowned and brushed past the girl next to him, while Cen Nian, who was standing not far from him, was uncharacteristically stopped in front of the bulletin board of University A, staring at the recruiting announcement of the radio agency.

——The broadcasting agency is recruiting new staff!

Cen Nian didn't even think about it, he turned his head and ran to the dormitory. Tang Yin once said that if he wanted to pursue Senior Jiang Bei, he had to break into the interior and become a "grasshopper on a rope".

Entering the broadcasting agency is the best opportunity to break into the inside.

When Cen Nian returned to the dormitory and was about to ask Tang Yin for the application form, she found a brand new application form on the desk: "Uh, this is..."

"Of course it's an application form for membership."

"I know." Cen Nian excitedly picked up the application form, and turned to Tang Yin affectionately, "Did you take it for me?"

"It's not on purpose, it's just convenient." Tang Yin emphasized.

"Come on, it's still like this in front of me." Cen Nian smiled and began to fill out the application form seriously.

Tang Yin looked up at her, and said slowly: "The application form is given to you, but whether you can enter the broadcasting agency depends on your own ability. The first test is Putonghua, and your dialect needs to be changed."

"I know." Cen Nian pursed his lips and said without raising his head, "Isn't there still you here?"

"What?" Tang Yin's typing hand suddenly stopped, and then she looked at her fixedly, "You don't mean to ask me to help you with devil training?"

In order to improve his Mandarin, Cen Nian started ten days of devil training.

In fact, Cen Nian's voice is very beautiful, but she can't control it properly, and the local accent is too strong, so whether it's Mandarin or English, as long as she speaks it, it becomes funny.

Cen Nian looked at Tang Yin wanting to cry without tears. Although Tang Yin is a qualified "instructor", she likes to avenge her personal revenge.

At 01:30 in the afternoon, Cen Nian clutched her stomach, even looking at the reading script in front of her was useless. She stared blankly at the name of the dish on the script and swallowed.

"Tang Yin..."

Tang Yin chewed the sweet and sour pork tenderloin and said vaguely, "Call me Instructor Tang."

"Okay, Tang Yin." She completely ignored her friend's gaze and looked at the sweet and sour pork on the table, as if she could grab it and eat it with her hand.

"I'm starving to death." She was so hungry that she accidentally broke out in dialect again.

Tang Yin put down her chopsticks, took a sip of hot tea, and said slowly, "Speaking in dialect again! Keep reading, when you read it well, and when you eat it, if you don't read it well, the sweet and sour pork will be mine."

Cen Nian rolled his eyes, but the point is actually the last sentence!
After such an intensive class, she made rapid progress. As long as Tang Yin gave her the manuscript, she could read it very well. Although there were occasional local dialects mixed in, it might have been intentionally corrected, and it seemed harmless.

On the day of the first test, Cen Nian deliberately waited for Jiang Bei at the door of the teaching building. She stood at the door full of energy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

When a pair of arms stood in front of Jiang Bei, an impatient expression appeared on Jiang Bei's face, but she smiled brightly and greeted herself: "Senior Jiang Bei, hello, you must still remember me Right? I'm Cen Nian."

Jiang Bei, who had already frowned, didn't want to pay attention to her. It seemed that every time she appeared, he would feel inexplicably irritable.

Jiang Bei silently took a step to the side, and Cen Nian also took a step, standing in front of him again, and said with a smile, "I'm here for the preliminary test today." A little joy floated on her excited face, thinking that after this They'd have a point of communication, and at that point, he couldn't ignore her anymore.

Hearing this, Jiang Bei glanced at Cen Nian and sneered "hehe".The students who heard it all showed gloating expressions, and looked at the two of them like they were watching a play.

Cen Nian waved his fist undaunted, like the sun in the sky, even if there were dark clouds passing by, it couldn't stop the warm light.She smiled, stretched out her fist to his chest, and said to herself, "Come on."

She smiled sweetly, turned around and walked into the classroom for the first test after speaking.

There are a lot of people participating in recruiting new students. Just for the first test, people occupy five classrooms.

Holding the number plate, while waiting in the crowd of strangers while watching other people's performances, Cen Nian became a little nervous.But when he thought of being able to do a show with Jiang Bei in the future, he couldn't help but jump for joy, and most of the tension disappeared.

"Next, Cen Nian."

When she heard her name, Cen Nian was lowering her head and silently reciting the tension-relieving method taught by Tang Yin. Since she had no experience on stage, she walked very slowly, as if her legs had been poured with heavy lead.

Before she got to the stage, she hit a "hot wall".

There was an instant burst of laughter from the audience, she ran into the boy who had just stepped off the stage, and whispered, "I'm sorry." She buried her head lower, and walked onto the stage with a blushing face, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she forgot what she wanted to say. Get it clean.

"I... I'm from the English Department, and my name is... Cen Nian." Standing on the stage, Cen Nian's mind went blank, "I... the story I'm bringing to you is... it's..." At a loss, Cen Nian saw Jiang Bei outside the window, and she subconsciously called out his name - "Senior Jiang Bei!"

There was no sound on the court.

In the next second, Cen Nian came back to his senses, and his mind was suddenly occupied by "dead" big and small.

The senior who was sitting under the stage and was the examiner looked up at her, and said in a bad tone: "Next."

Senior, I was wrong!

Cen Nian immediately patted the table hard, and said excitedly: "Today I will tell you a story about left-behind children..."

She stood on the stage like a female leopard, refusing to step down, staring at the next person to come on stage with her beautiful eyes, with an aura of "If you dare to go on stage, I will kill you".

She told the story she prepared very well this time, and when it was over, she bowed to the first-time examiner and said "I'm sorry".

Although the process was thrilling, Cen Nian passed the initial test smoothly.

After stepping out of the classroom, Cen Nian immediately found Jiang Bei.

She immediately shared the good news with Jiang Bei, and said with a smile, "Senior, I have entered the re-examination."

Hearing this news, although Jiang Bei was a little surprised, but still expressionless, he said coldly: "I will be responsible for the evaluation of the re-examination." He was indirectly warning her not to play tricks.

"Really?" Cen Nian laughed after hearing the meaning of the words, "In that case... Maybe I will surprise you senior."

Jiang Bei ignored her, bypassed her and walked forward. When he turned down the stairs, he heard Cen Nian finally say to him: "Senior, when I join the broadcasting club, I will work hard to complete the club tasks. When the time comes, I will chase you." Doesn’t that count as a delay in your studies?”

……

For the next retest, Cen Nian started another round of devil training.She arranges her spare time every day. In order to improve her English, she spends all her free time listening to English broadcasts, and even spends a lot of money to sign up for a course with a foreign teacher.

During the training, Tang Yin woke up several times in the middle of the night and heard Cen Nian talking in English in her dreams.

As for Jiang Bei, after turning on the devil training mode, Cen Nian rarely saw him.

But for Jiang Bei now, it doesn't matter even if he sees it. In order to prepare for the robot exhibition held in June, he is also working as an interpreter.

"Let's have some bread on the way later! The foreign teacher's class will start soon." Tao Yuan got up and said after finishing his notes. He also participated in the interpreting work.

Jiang Bei nodded and went to the small shop to buy two breads.

"By the way, I haven't seen that elementary school girl for a long time." Tao Yuan took the bread from Jiang Bei, with a heartwarming smile on his lips.

Jiang Bei gave the bread a hand, and almost pinched the soft bread in half. He frowned habitually: "It's better not to see it."

"I just feel it's a pity." Tao Yuan tore open the package and said, "Although she is a bit clingy, she is very persistent and cute, isn't she?"

"..."

"Don't you feel that way?"

"Eat more and talk less."

When meeting Cen Nian again in the foreign teacher class, Jiang Bei's entire face was tense, and he pursed his lips and glanced at Tao Yuan beside him, as if admiring his "crow's mouth".

Then, Jiang Bei ignored Cen Nian who was shaking desperately in front of his eyes, turned to Tao Yuan and said, "Let's change seats next class."

"Why?" Tao Yuan looked at Jiang Bei inexplicably, with puzzlement written on his face.

Jiang Bei paused, and said coldly, "I suspect that she appeared here premeditated."

Hearing this, Tao Yuan laughed: "Are you sure it's not 'fate to meet thousands of miles away'?"

03
Foreign teacher class.

The foreign teacher on the podium was talking about grouping in pure American English. After reading most of the list according to the list, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Cen Nian, then smiled and said, "Nina and North."

Nina is Cen Nian's English name, while North is Jiang Bei.

The moment he met the foreign teacher's gaze, Cen Nian had already grinned softly.

However, Jiang Bei frowned instantly when he heard his name, and quickly raised his hand to stand up, asking, "Why?"

"No why."

The foreign teacher smiled slyly, and took another look at Cen Nian.Cen Nian nodded with a smile, and calmly made a victory gesture with his right hand.

And this scene happened to be seen by Jiang Bei who turned his head.

really!He frowned boredly and looked at Cen Nian, feeling extremely certain in his heart: She bribed the foreign teacher!

Sensing Jiang Bei's gaze keenly, Cen Nian immediately returned his admiring eyes, then packed his books, and flew directly to the empty seat next to Jiang Bei at almost the speed of light.

"What a coincidence, senior, we are actually in the same group!" After sitting down, she smiled like a spring breeze, and leaned over with her head tilted.

skillful?
Jiang Bei sneered, looked at her with a frown, and a trace of disgust flashed across his stern face: "What did you do to the foreign teacher?"

Although he never thought that he could hide Jiang Bei's secrets, Cen Nian was still a little guilty because he was so straightforward.

"Hehe." She laughed dryly, calming down, "Look at what you said, it seems like the foreign teacher is being forced by me to arrange this way!"

"Isn't it?" The tone of the rhetorical question was more certain, and at the same time, the low air pressure surrounded him.

"Of course not." Cen Nian swallowed, and confessed honestly, "I...I just treated him to a meal at a roadside stall."

Street vendors?
Jiang Bei was taken aback, and countless question marks appeared in his slightly widened eyes.

Cen Nian smiled proudly and said, "Food has no borders. Even Americans can't refuse traditional Chinese snacks! Especially the roadside stalls, the fish eggs, the barbecue, and the beef offal are all delicious in the world. !"

Therefore, his life was lost to the roadside stall...

Jiang Bei thought, the corners of his mouth twitched after the sluggishness passed.

And Tao Yuan, who was "watching the battle" with great interest, laughed outright after hearing what Cen Nian said, and while laughing, he patted Jiang Bei's shoulder and comforted him, "Calm down, calm down."

"Shut up!" Jiang Bei, who had recovered his anger, replied unceremoniously.

Tao Yuan made a gesture of shutting his mouth, and then he didn't speak again, but those star-like eyes always looked at Cen Nian and Jiang Bei intentionally or unintentionally.

After a while, all the group work has been arranged.

When the class officially started, the foreign teacher said the topic of the dialogue—each group member designed a virtual business dialogue by themselves, and said "Let's start, and we will draw a group number to perform in 5 minutes", and the classroom gradually became lively.

Just as Jiang Bei was about to talk about the topic of the conversation, Cen Nian leaned over and said, "Why don't we use our company's product error as the theme, and you play the other company to claim compensation, how about it?"

When she became serious, Jiang Bei was a little taken aback.

But the topic she proposed was not bad, so Jiang Bei nodded.

"Then let's get started." Cen Nian smiled, and then said seriously in English, "Sir, may I help you?"

Although her English still sounded weird, it had slightly improved compared to the previous entries, and at this moment Jiang Bei realized that her voice was still very good, but unpolished.

Jiang Bei coughed and entered the role.

During the conversation, he glanced up at her from time to time.Although her expression seemed serious, he had to be wary of Cen Nian, who could even be bought by foreign teachers. Because of her playful nonsense before, he always felt that she would suddenly say something inexplicable in the next second.

However, Cen Nian once again surprised him.

Five minutes later, the foreign teacher came to draw a group number for rehearsal. Cen Nian was the first to raise her hand and said in her not-so-standard English, "I want to try."

Speaking more and practicing more is a very important way to improve English. Many people cannot improve because of low self-esteem or shyness and dare not speak. Cen Nian doesn't mind this at all.

Nodding his head, Jiang Bei stood up cooperatively, and together with her, acted out the conversation that he had just rehearsed.

What surprised Jiang Bei the most was Cen Nian's performance after rehearsal.
