Chapter 1248 A Sudden Surprise
Some students think the two-month summer vacation is too short, while others think it is too long.
But whether it feels short or long, you still have to go back to school and continue your studies.
The four girls in dormitory 213 of the girls' dormitory building have also returned to the dormitory. Among them, Xiao Qianxi has been living in the school and has not even been back during the summer vacation. Naturally, there is no talk of coming back.
Xu Lin came back from Inner Mongolia yesterday, and Wang Ying and Xie Qiao, both locals, just returned to the dormitory today.
"Oh, this summer vacation goes by too fast. I haven't had enough fun yet and I have to go to school again. It's so annoying."
Xu Lin scratched his head, his hair was a mess, and wailed loudly.
Xiao Qianxi said with a smile: "It's a good start to the school year. There are classes at the beginning of the school year and we are all together again. Isn't that great?"
"What's good? It's up to you. Ask Qiao Qiao and Wang Ying, what do they think?" Xu Lin looked disdainful.
But who knew that Wang Ying nodded seriously: "I think it's pretty good."
"Ah?" Xu Lin looked incredulous.
Xie Qiao also replied: "I think it's pretty good too."
Xu Lin was defeated and pointed at the three of them: "Is it okay for you three? Qianxi wants to start school. I understand. People want to study and make progress. Wang Ying, Qiao Qiao, what's going on with you two? I usually don't I haven’t seen you love studying so much?”
Wang Ying and Xie Qiao were busy making the bed and ignored her, but Xiao Qianxi gave an explanation.
"I know Qiao Qiao. I have often heard her say that she is too strictly controlled at home. She doesn't want to be controlled, so she just wants to start school."
Xie Qiao complained as soon as she opened her mouth: "Yeah, you don't know. I'm being talked about every day at home. I have to report it every time I go out. It's annoying to death. I might as well come to school."
"As for Wang Ying, it's easier to understand. It's been almost two months since Zhou Chen left. A loving young couple haven't seen each other for two months. Do you think she is in a hurry?"
"Oh, that makes sense. Let me just say, when did the eldest lady become so active in school?"
Wang Ying retorted angrily: "You are all bored. Zhou Chen hasn't come back yet, okay? Also, why don't I actively go to school?"
"You haven't come back yet. Haven't school already started? Why haven't you come back yet?"
Xie Qiao and the three of them asked in confusion. Although Xie Qiao and Zhou Chen were young, they had no contact during the summer vacation.
Wang Ying said smoothly: "It is said that he is talking about cooperating with Stanford University to build a laboratory. I don't know the details. Anyway, he can't leave for the time being. It will probably take a while."
Although the time here is not synchronized with San Francisco, they still make frequent calls and video chat every now and then.
Zhou Chen would tell him anything he had to say. Although she didn't know much about business investment or building a laboratory, she was very willing to listen to Zhou Chen share these with her.
Xu Lin sighed with emotion: "Zhou Chen is really a busy man. I used to think that he was just a rich second generation, but now it seems that he is much more capable than us. He is doing this investment and running a laboratory." Yes, how many college students can compare with him?"
They have known Zhou Chen for a year in their dormitory, and their biggest impression of Zhou Chen is that he is rich and a second-generation rich man. But after getting to know him better, he will find that Zhou Chen is not only rich, he is also a genius, and he can also Own business.
When others are only a little better than you, you may feel jealous and envious, but when others are much better than you, it is more about admiration and you cannot be envious.
Xie Qiao also lamented: "It's really stressful to have such a close friend."
Xiao Qianxi asked curiously: "Wang Ying, are you saying that Zhou Chen is talking about cooperating with Stanford University to build a laboratory? Does he have many connections at Stanford University?"
"probably."
Wang Ying was not sure, but she still said: "But he said it wasn't a big problem, so I didn't ask any more questions."
Xiao Qianxi fell into deep thought. He Xiaozhou was not a person who could hide his words. Zhou Chen had told him before that he could help him study abroad at Stanford University, and he mentioned it to Xiao Qianxi.
When she heard that Zhou Chen could help He Xiaozhou and was even willing to help her, she was moved and couldn't wait to agree.
However, He Xiaozhou was hesitant. She couldn't go overboard with her substitute's consent. Moreover, she was not familiar with Zhou Chen, and she also doubted whether Zhou Chen had this ability.
But Wang Ying just said that Zhou Chen wants to discuss cooperation with Stanford University to build a laboratory. If Zhou Chen is incompetent, how can he be qualified to discuss cooperation with a top university in the world like Stanford University to build a laboratory?
Zhou Chen has such close cooperation with Stanford University, which shows that the relationship is very strong, so the possibility of arranging study abroad is still very high.
Thinking of this, she had a thought. She could ignore herself first, but He Xiaozhou and Zhou Chen were young, and if He Xiaozhou asked, Zhou Chen would definitely agree.
With an idea in mind, she decided to let He Xiaozhou have more contact with Zhou Chen this semester to enhance their relationship. After all, Zhou Chen had only been at Beiqing University for two years and now only had one year left.
He Xiaozhou is also in his junior year this year, so time is still tight. Once confirmed, he can start preparing for the TOEFL GRE and so on.
Wang Ying packed her bed and was about to go out. Xu Lin immediately asked: "Wang Ying, where are you going?"
"Go to Zhou Chen's dormitory and open all the windows for some fresh air."
"Oh, so virtuous, Zhou Chen is really charming, he can make our young lady so diligent."
"You are the only one who talks too much."
…………
Zhou Chen returned to school two weeks after the start of the school. He did not tell Wang Ying in advance that he was back, but was preparing to give her a surprise.
When he walked into the school, Zhou Chen saw many boys and girls with youthful smiles on their faces. These people were freshmen at a glance. They had just been admitted to the highest institution of learning that all students in the country dreamed of. Each of them was so confident and high-spirited, as if the world was at their feet.
Looking at these freshmen with a smile on his face, Zhou Chen came to the front of the girls' dormitory building.
He knew that Wang Ying had a big class this morning and would definitely go back to the dormitory after class, so he waited here.
"Don't you think Qianxi is exaggerating? Just after class, she ran to the library to study. Wouldn't she get bored studying every day?"
After class, Wang Ying, Xie Qiao and Xu Lin returned to the dormitory together. As for Xiao Qianxi, she parted ways with them and went to the library to study.
Xie Qiao said: "Qianxi is really hardworking. Among the people I know, only Xiaochuange can compete with her."
Wang Ying concluded: "So, they are a perfect match. They want to study even when they eat. They can't be compared."
"Hey, am I dazzled, Wang Ying, look over there, isn't that Zhou Chen?"
Xu Lin rubbed his eyes and pointed to the steps in front and asked.
Wang Ying's body stagnated and she looked over hurriedly. The next moment, she threw away the book in her hand and ran towards Zhou Chen in two steps.
"Hey, hey, book, book, really, you don't even want the book, are men so good?"
Xu Lin looked depressed and could only turn back to pick up Wang Ying's book.
Facing Wang Ying rushing over, Zhou Chen smiled, opened his arms, embraced her in his arms, and picked her up, turning around several times before stopping.
The students passing by saw this scene, some were envious, some smiled, and some were curious to watch the fun, but most of them just took a look and walked away.
Zhou Chen whispered in Wang Ying's ear: "I miss you, how about you?"
Wang Ying expressed her feelings with actions, hugged Zhou Chen tightly, and was extremely happy and excited. After more than two months, she finally felt this warm embrace again.
She hugged Zhou Chen tightly until Xie Qiao and Xu Lin, who were standing on the side with numb feet, interrupted her.
"You two are almost done. You don't know how to pay attention to the impact in public."
Wang Ying woke up from her dream and slowly let go of her hand, but her eyes never left Zhou Chen.
"Why didn't you tell me when you came back so that I could pick you up."
"If I had told you in advance, there would be no surprise like this now."
Wang Ying smiled and rolled her eyes at Zhou Chen, and the happiness on her face could not be hidden.
Xu Lin teased on the side: "Zhou Chen, you don't know that during the days you were away, our Miss Wang Ying couldn't sleep well at night and had a bad temper. Now that you are back, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
"You are really good at making up stories."
Wang Ying had long been accustomed to Xu Lin's exaggerated embellishments and saw the suitcase behind Zhou Chen.
"You didn't go home, but came directly to school?"
"Going home is not as important as coming to see you. You are the person I miss the most." Zhou Chen said gently.
Xu Lin and Xie Qiao both shuddered: "Eh, I can't stand it, I really can't stand it. Let's go quickly. If I listen to it anymore, my teeth will fall out."
The two waved to Zhou Chen and Wang Ying and returned to the dormitory.
Wang Ying took Zhou Chen's arm and said happily: "Let's go back and put down the luggage first. I also helped you to vent your house. The car was parked at the school by Qin Chuan. Let's drive back."
"Okay."
Zhou Chen dragged the suitcase in one hand and held Wang Ying in the other hand, walking on the university campus.
Wang Ying was undoubtedly in a good mood, with light steps and a smile on her face. She turned her head to look at Zhou Chen from time to time, and smiled even more happily.
She hadn't seen him for more than two months, and she couldn't control her joy, and expressed it naturally.
It took less than half an hour to drive back to the community. The moment the two walked into the house and closed the door, Zhou Chen threw the suitcase aside and hugged Wang Ying with both hands.
Wang Ying also put her arms around Zhou Chen's neck. The two looked at each other for a few seconds and saw the longing in each other's eyes. The next moment, they hugged and kissed.
Zhou Chen hugged Wang Ying all the way from the living room to the room. The two were reluctant to separate even for a second.
………………
"It's really great to be able to hold you like this. Finally, I don't have to see you only in the video. If you don't come back, I want to fly over to find you to see if you have a new love and don't come back."
Wang Ying leaned against Zhou Chen. Although she was very tired, she was in a very good spirit. Her tone was excited and mixed with grievances.
Before Zhou Chen, she had never felt this way, never missed a man this much, the feeling of running for each other, this is something that secret love can never compare to.
Zhou Chen comforted in a gentle voice: "How is it possible, don't say that I have been busy for the past two months, even if I am not busy, I will only come to see you, it is impossible to have other thoughts, I may not be a good man, but in this world, after being with you, I will never take other women to heart again."
Wang Ying hugged Zhou Chen tightly and said softly: "Well, I believe you."
Emotions are very strange. No matter whether it is a man or a woman, once they fall in love, they are easy to change. Wang Ying is like this. She knows that she has changed, but she doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
In front of others, she is still the same Wang Ying, but in front of Zhou Chen, she is willing to change herself and can't control her emotions.
"Have you dealt with everything over there?"
"Yes, it's almost done. The laboratory is ready, but it cost a lot of money this time."
In order to establish a joint laboratory with Stanford University this time, he did spend a lot of money, but there was nothing he could do about it. He has a lot of prescriptions and technologies, but he can't develop them alone. A development and research team is necessary, and it must be elite.
He is a student of Stanford University, so there is no need to go far away. Cooperating with Stanford University is the best choice.
"Others are playing during the summer vacation, but you are busy with your career. Is it hard?"
"No, it's nothing. I just want to finish my work as soon as possible and then come back to see you. When I think of this, I am full of energy and enthusiasm."
Wang Ying raised her head and looked at Zhou Chen: "You just coax me, but it doesn't matter to me. I don't want to delay your business because of me."
Zhou Chen lowered his head and kissed her: "For me, career and money are just auxiliary, life is the most important, and you are the real business in my life; I don't know what other people's reasons for struggle are, but for me, there are no noble goals and ideals. The reason for struggle is to give myself and the people I love a good life. Apart from that, nothing else matters."
He has lived for hundreds of years, so many worlds, how can there be any lofty goals and great ideals? Whatever he does, he will consider himself first, and then the people he cares about.
Money, status, power, etc., are all passing clouds to him, and they will disappear in another world, so he doesn't care at all.
As he said, the goal of working hard to make money is to make himself live a better life.
Wang Ying felt more at ease after listening to Zhou Chen's straightforward words.
Their family is an example. Her father is busy with official duties, and her parents rarely get together, and spend less time with her. She can understand, but it doesn't mean she doesn't want it.
Who doesn't want the person they love to spend more time with them? Her mother lives a good life, but she lacks her father's company. It's not just her mother, but also her childhood friend Yang Cheng's mother. Yang Cheng's mother even made a big fuss about divorce.
If possible, she doesn't want to repeat the life of her mother and Yang Cheng's mother.
"My requirements are not high. As long as you always remember me in your heart and stay with me when I need you, I will be satisfied."
Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Then your requirements are really too low. I'm afraid that if I stay with you all the time in the future, you will feel bored and wish to drive me away."
"Then you can rest assured that there will be no such day. Even if I am angry, I will leave by myself and won't drive you away."
"You dare? Miss, it's not popular to run away from home." Zhou Chen pretended to be angry.
Wang Ying smiled sweetly, "Then just don't make me angry."
The two smiled at each other, Zhou Chen hugged Wang Ying tighter, and asked, "Do you have classes in the afternoon?"
"Yes, but I won't go."
"Okay, then I'll have dinner with you later, and then we'll go out for a walk, watch a movie, and live a life for two."
"I'll listen to you, as long as you stay with me, anywhere is fine."
"Then let's go on a roller coaster."
"You can ride if you want, I won't ride anyway."
"Haha..."
Wang Ying skipped classes, and she skipped for three days. During these three days, she didn't go anywhere and stayed with Zhou Chen the whole time.
She also achieved a small achievement, which was to occupy half of the closet in Zhou Chen's bedroom and hang all her clothes on it.
Zhou Chen also looked at the full wardrobe with satisfaction and said with a smile: "That's good. It will be convenient for me to come here in the future. I don't need to bring clothes anymore."
Wang Ying glanced at him coquettishly: "Virtue."
Zhou Chen held his chin and pondered: "It's just that this place is a little small. My eldest daughter must have a big cloakroom. Do you think I should buy a big villa? Anyway, we will definitely live in the capital in the future. The place is a little small. It would be better if my second grandfather bought a house with upstairs or a house opposite. It can be directly connected."
Wang Ying said: "I think it's better to forget it. This place is enough. You should keep your money for business. The good villa areas in the capital are not cheap."
"You don't understand. Buying a house is also an investment. I also want to buy two courtyard houses within the second ring road. There is a lot of room for appreciation in the future."
"If you really want to buy, I can ask my uncle. It's not easy to buy a good courtyard house within the second ring road. The main reason is that the procedures are complicated. He can definitely help with ideas."
Wang Ying saw that Zhou Chen really had this idea, so she took the initiative to propose.
Zhou Chen thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, wait a few days, if it doesn't go well, I'll visit your uncle again."
"Well, I'll make an appointment for you then. Do you know how to play golf? My uncle likes playing golf."
"No, I'm a very good golfer, and I can play a lot of different things."
Zhou Chen was full of confidence. When it came to sports, he really didn't look down on anyone, especially ball sports.
"I don't know if you're bragging or not, it seems like there's nothing you can't do."
Zhou Chen hugged her and said with a smile: "My dear, only those who have the strength to brag dare to brag."
Wang Ying moved his hand away, sorted the clothes in the closet, and went out to put away the shoes in the shoe cabinet.
In the past few days, they not only bought clothes, but also shoes and bags.
"By the way, Yang Cheng sent me a message yesterday. He heard that you were back. He was embarrassed to ask you, so he asked me to ask. Did he bring the autographed photos he wanted?"
Zhou Chen sneered and said: "It's really hard for him to still remember after so long. Take it. Next time you go back to school, you bring it to Xie Qiao and let Xie Qiao give it to him."
"Just bring it with you. I have known Yang Cheng for so many years, but I rarely see him begging for help. I really don't understand. It's just a few signed photos."
She is not that kind of fan, so she cannot understand the mentality of that kind of fan.
Zhou Chen said: "This is just like those star-chasers. Although Yang Cheng can be successful at home, he may not be able to do well abroad."
After all, Yang Cheng is still only the second generation. If he wants to do something, he has to go to his elders. He doesn't have much power in his hands. It's fine at home, but it's not enough abroad.
