Best Wuxia masterpiece of 2009, free to play, experience the most authentic Jianghu
It was May in Qingzhou, and the weather was already hot. The knowing birds chirped and went to work at noon. The weather in this beautiful medium-sized city had been getting worse and worse over the years. The colder the winter, the hotter the summer. Spring, on the other hand, was getting shorter and shorter. It was as if two weeks ago, it was still a cold winter, but in the blink of an eye, it had skipped spring and entered a hot summer.
Jiang Zhihan had just walked out of the research institute when the Han display on his waist beeped. He took it off and looked at it. Then, he hopped onto his old bicycle and rushed out.
There was a steep slope outside the research institute, which was quite famous on campus. It was said that many love-struck men who had been away for a long time fantasized about the famous scene of a bicycle bumping into a person and meeting a beautiful woman. They rushed down from here as fast as lightning. Seven out of ten people who really bumped into them were men, and two were dinosaurs. If you were lucky enough to meet an average-looking girl, congratulations, if she didn't slap you and ask her boyfriend to come up and beat you up.
Jiang Zhihan was a cautious person. Ever since he was young, he had been the kind of person with average height, average looks, average grades, and not much to do (except in front of his close friends). If one could describe him with one word, it would be ordinary. Finding him in the crowd was harder than ascending to the heavens. If his parents 'friends wanted to praise him, they usually couldn't find any other words. It was just that this child was honest and did things steadily. Most of the teachers used the word "steady."
However, Jiang Zhihan was actually a proud person. Among his friends and classmates, there were only a few who made him feel that they were smarter than him. Although he was born in an ordinary family, had been labeled as an honest person since he was young, and had steadily gone to university, he had never been an outstanding person. In his heart, he had a confidence that many people did not know.
Jiang Zhihan's cautiousness was reflected in the small details of his life. For example, when he rushed down a 20-degree slope, he would usually gently press the brakes so that the car wouldn't go too fast. But today, he released the brakes and let the old second-hand Phoenix car under him rush down wantonly. The wind blew past him, and the trees on both sides of the avenue quickly retreated. For a moment, he felt that he was not riding a Phoenix, but driving a Ferrari.
Finally, after seven years on campus, it was time to say goodbye. She was not old yet, but she had already begun to reminisce about the past. It was only because it was the season of separation.
The campus in May was normal for most people, but for the graduating class, it was a little unusual.
The graduate students who graduated in the spring had already completed their oral defense. Some of them had already left, while others stayed to deal with some trivial matters. The undergraduate students immediately began their oral defense, but for most people, it was just a formality. The job was basically settled, and the results of the postgraduate entrance examination were already known. All that was left was the last ceremony.
The campus in May was filled with all kinds of farewell activities. And for us Chinese, there is no activity that can compare to…eating.
The host of the lunch banquet was a doctor from the research institute named Shen Cheng. Shen Cheng was already 34 years old this year. He applied for his PhD after working for a few years. He had gone through many hardships before he graduated. He had spent seven and a half years in the research institute before he got this certificate. Jiang Zhihan had helped Shen Cheng a lot in getting him to graduate. He had even helped to contact him for work. Therefore, although they were not in the same research group, the two of them had a deep relationship.
After asking the waiter, he pushed open the door to private room 7 and heard someone singing a song. It was a new song by the popular Diva. The new song was Uncle Liu Yongliu's most famous song," Holding hands and looking at each other with tears in my eyes, I'm actually speechless."
" F * ck me, who's disgusting? 10 men sitting here singing this," Jiang Zhihan scolded jokingly. Those parents and friends who praised him for his honesty would probably be shocked when they saw this. The two and a half years of experience in the research institute, especially when he started to run his own factories and do projects, had slowly transformed Jiang Zhihan. Although he wasn't very good at socializing, he could still socialize and tease his friends freely and naturally.
The singer was called Fatty Lin. He did not resist this nickname. As time passed, people often could not remember what his name was. The seven people sitting in the room, other than Fatty Lin and Jiang Zhihan, were the master and his junior brothers from the research group.
Fatty Lin was there because of Shen Cheng's graduation and job search. Fatty Lin was another person who had contributed greatly. His contribution was probably much greater than Jiang Zhihan's. Fatty Lin was one year younger than Jiang Zhihan and was the junior brother of a teacher. He entered the research institute to earn a diploma. In the future, he would aim for administrative work in the state organs.
In the beginning, Jiang Zhihan was a little disgusted by this junior brother who was just trying to earn a diploma. It was very difficult to bring him along to do projects, and he even had to do many things himself. However, Jiang Zhihan was a good-tempered person. After graduating from his undergraduate degree, he had become more and more aware of the ways of the world. In addition, his mentor had given him a few pointers, so he had always taken good care of Fatty Lin. Even the thesis that Fatty Lin needed to submit for his master's degree was written by him, and he had asked Fatty Lin to sign 80% of it.
However, after Shen Cheng's incident, Jiang Zhihan got to know this junior brother of his again. Not only was it because of the power of his family's network, but he also felt that this person was quite heroic and warm-hearted. He could be considered a friend. Hence, the relationship between the two of them grew deeper and they could joke around with Fearless.
There were four cold dishes on the table: fried screw, boiled edamame, mixed cucumber, and salted fish. It was considered the classic four cold dishes for student gatherings. Under the table was naturally a box of beer. The new students (especially after the enrollment) seemed to have better and better family backgrounds, and their bags were getting bigger and bigger. However, for Jiang Zhihan's generation of students, four cold dishes and low-quality beer were eternal and warm memories of their student days.
Shen Cheng smiled and said," Serve the cold dishes first and drink some wine to warm up." The hot dishes haven't been served yet. I'm just waiting for you and Sun Yue.”Sun Yue was a graduate student in the next two batches. That year, the institute had recruited 16 people, and only one was a girl. This ratio was said to be comparable only to the mathematics department and the theoretical physics department. Everyone jokingly called her " Little Red " behind her back, which meant " Little Red in the Green Forest ".
Jiang Zhihan said apologetically," Boss, you can extend the meeting as long as you want. We can't do anything about it. However, there was no excuse for being late.”In this day and age, people didn't call him mentor, teacher, or professor. They called him boss.
After a round of persuasion and drinking, Sun Yue called to say that she couldn't come in the afternoon. Thus, the hot dishes began to be served, the wine began to be drunk, and the game of Four Seasons Wealth brothers began to play. Eight men were in a private room, performing a play that had been repeated countless times this season: A farewell drink.
Wine was the catalyst for words. This was the absolute truth. After downing half a carton of beer, the man seemed to have transformed into a woman or an old man. He kept spitting out gossip and gossip. Jiang Zhihan sat there. Sometimes, he seemed to be absent-minded. It was as if he was floating outside of his body and watching a play. Every sentence seemed to come from afar, and when it hit his body, it echoed.
Junior Brother Zhang Zhang, who was two years younger, was gossiping about Sun Yue. It was said that three men were fighting for this red spot. One was a PhD student in the institute, the other was a master's student in the same level. It was said that they had been classmates since middle school and had always been infatuated with each other. There was also a new student who was said to be from the computer science department. He had quite a bit of money when he started his own project.
Jiang Zhihan looked down on this gossipy person. It was fine for girls to gossip occasionally for fun, but they understood the cause and effect of the matter clearly and talked about it with great interest. They were more like aunties from the neighborhood committee than men in their twenties.
Sometimes, university life was too lonely. Jiang Zhihan sighed in his heart, but his mind was elsewhere. Back then, Shen Cheng and I got to know each other through a boring thing-playing games. From the Three Kingdoms to racing to the Legend of Sword and Fairy, whether it was cooperation or sparring, revolutionary friendships sprouted and grew online. There was a period of time when the two of them would often take a ten-minute ride to the staff canteen outside the school to eat. They would chat after dinner. Although it was not important, Jiang Zhihan slowly felt that they were getting along. Although Jiang Zhihan was not the kind of person who liked to find someone to confide in about his ideals and frustrations, he would usually digest the occasional sorrow and sorrow he felt for the spring and autumn. However, it was also a good feeling to have a friend sit down and chat casually.
While they were chatting, Shen Cheng told them about him. In the second year of entering the research institute, his supervisor was promoted to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but he still retained the qualification to be a PhD student in the school. It was just a title that made both parties happy. His instructor was still under that person, but his actual relationship had been transferred to another talented PhD supervisor.
This PhD supervisor who was less than 40 years old was most concerned about economic income. He had started a company outside, and his research topic was also in the field of intelligent database control. The real basic research of his profession had long been thrown aside. Shen Cheng's work experience and professional foundation were still very solid, but because he had studied in university very early, he was ignorant of computer related things when he started his PhD. He was far inferior to his younger juniors, so it was inevitable that he was not valued by this PhD supervisor. Those who couldn't work for him to earn money were basically not within his field of vision. The research project was delayed for more than three years before it was started, and then it started to falter.
Shen Cheng was considered old, and his spirit had slowly worn off. His research project did not go well, and he had once degenerated to playing games all night to kill time and boredom. It was also during that time that he started to get to know Jiang Zhihan.
Later, a new PhD supervisor came to the institute. Jiang Zhihan helped him with a small project for a month and happened to know that it was difficult for him to find a PhD student when he first arrived. In addition, he had a project with the National Natural Science Foundation that matched Shen Cheng's strengths and work experience, so he was the matchmaker for both parties.
Shen Cheng was a little hesitant at first. After all, it had been delayed for four years and the thesis had already been proposed. However, he finally made up his mind to skip it. As expected, he graduated in less than three years. For this matter, Shen Cheng was extremely grateful to Jiang Zhihan. Moreover, he deeply felt that Jiang Zhihan was a capable person. If there was a chance, he would be someone extraordinary.
Later on, because Shen Cheng's mathematical theoretical foundation was not good, Jiang Zhihan contributed a lot to his thesis. By chance, Fatty Lin was involved. To be able to publish a thesis in a first-class academic journal in such a short period of time, Fatty Lin had to rely on his parents 'connections. He even contributed to Shen Cheng's work later on.
Jiang Zhihan felt a little strange. Why did he feel a little nostalgic these past few days? From time to time, he felt that he was standing outside his body and looking at him? Was he acting as a ghost? He collected his thoughts and realized that Zhang Zhang was still chattering about his gossip. He couldn't help but interrupt. Junior Brother Zhang, let me give you four sentences:
are plenty of fish in the sea
A rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its nest
Since the quality is not good
Why do I have to find it by my side?
Fatty Lin took the lead in cheering and mimicked the tone of the leader. Comrades, you have to look further. Qingzhou Normal University and Qingzhou Medical University still have countless women waiting for us to comfort. Therefore, the table laughed and ended the topic.
They ate, drank, chatted, and bragged for three hours. After they were done with the food and wine, everyone got up to pay the bill. They walked out of the door to the parking lot, which was, of course, the bicycle parking lot. Shen Cheng and Jiang Zhihan were the last to talk about their schedule.
Jiang Zhihan asked. Had the train tickets been booked?
Shen Cheng said it was Tuesday afternoon.
Jiang Zhihan was a little regretful. I'm afraid I can't send you off. I have to go to Shanghai-Nanjing on Monday and will only be back in at least three days.
Shen Cheng had drunk quite a bit and was a little excited. He hugged Jiang Zhihan's shoulder and said that it was only a matter of formality whether he would send him off or not. After staying in Qing University for so many years, you're the only friend I've made who's really willing and able to help. " Fatty Lin is a loyal friend. However, he helped me because of you. You helped him a lot in the research team and never bothered with him. He doesn't say it, but he remembers it in his heart. You tried your best to help me without asking for anything in return. He saw it and thought even higher of you. He felt that you were a loyal and promising person. "As for me, I'll go back and find an unknown university to be a lecturer. I'll slowly strive to become an associate professor or something. I won't think about being a Ph.D. supervisor. Firstly, he was close to his parents, and they could take care of him when they were old. Secondly, his job was relatively stable. Although the opportunities were not as good as here, the pressure of pulling projects and money was relatively less. I want to be a university teacher in peace and teach a few lessons to my students. I know my limits. My ability is limited and I've been delayed. I'm going out now for peace. What about you? You're still young and capable. Although we don't know your future, I believe you'll have a great future.
Jiang Zhihan smiled and said,"Although I'm a few years younger than you, I'm no longer a hothead." Those unrealistic fantasies of his youth had long since vanished. Now, it's good that I found a good job and became a white-collar worker. I'll strive for progress and hope that someone will bestow me with a virtuous and not too ugly wife. I'll just have a wife and children for the rest of my life.
Shen Cheng said with a bit of inarticulate words, I think highly of you. Don't underestimate yourself. You have a bright future ahead of you. The place I went to had fresh air and a good environment. It wasn't crowded. When he was free, he would definitely drop by.
Jiang Zhihan patted him on the shoulder. What era was it now? The words of the great man had been fulfilled, and the natural moat had become a path. It wasn't a matter of a few hours to go anywhere, and it was also very convenient to contact him by phone. There was a great chance that he would come and slaughter you. You don't have to worry that I won't come. You'll only worry that I'll come too often.
The two of them went to the parking lot and unlocked their cars. Shen Cheng said that he wanted to go outside the school and break up with you here. After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly said that she had never told him before because she felt that it was too boring. Back then, I applied for a PhD because of my girlfriend. Although I was a technical backbone in the factory, I didn't have any background education. Therefore, she felt that my future was bleak, so she advised me to suspend my work and take the postgraduate entrance examination. Thinking back to that era, how sacred the title of doctor was. He didn't expect that he would be stuck here for seven years. Seven years, just one more piece of paper and a lot of hair. Seven years. Ha-ha, master's are everywhere, but doctors are worse than dogs.
Jiang Zhihan knew that Shen Cheng had drunk a little too much and was also a little sad about parting, so he didn't say any unnecessary words of encouragement or comfort. He just patted his shoulder hard and solemnly said," Eldest Senior Brother, take care."
Shen Cheng grinned and said,"I've lost my composure. You too. Take care."”
Thus, the two of them waved their hands and went their separate ways.
The alcohol was blown by a gust of wind and rushed to his head. Jiang Zhihan, who was riding on the bike, suddenly recited loudly,
a bosom friend afar
everyone your neighbor
Inaction is at the fork
Sons and daughters share a towel
A few people by the roadside turned around and looked at him as if he was crazy. Jiang Zhihan was not afraid at all and said even louder,
This old man is talking about youth madness
On the left was the sky, on the right was the yellow, and thousands of cavalry swept across the flat hills.
However, the last word was suddenly stuck, and he could not remember what it was. A few passers-by laughed loudly. This kind of nerve was common in the school.
In the female dormitory far away, another old song by the Heavenly Queen drifted over. It was sung gently and lovingly. It asked what love was in the world, and it made people want to die for it.
Jiang Zhihan's heroic spirit instantly dissipated. He muttered softly," The Heavenly Queen really likes to be artsy." However, his heart slowly felt inexplicably melancholic.
