swear by the wind

Chapter 1 An Unexpected Encounter

In the early winter afternoon, the sun hanging above the head is still dazzling, but it is not as scorching hot as in summer. After taking off the scorching heat, it shines on the body gently and softly, with its unique taste, which makes people walking in the cold wind feel relieved. I felt a bit of warmth, and I didn't resist the coming cold so much.

Nanzhou University, a seldom-visited tree-lined path is quietly open in the warm sunshine, the dappled sunlight falls from the gaps in the leaves of the camphor trees, and the few sparrows that land on the branches occasionally make a few crisp chirps There is a chirping sound, and a faint plum fragrance is sent along with the cold north wind. The fragrance is bursting, and finally there is a trace of vividness on the deserted and secluded path.

Ge Ziyan was walking leisurely on this path with his bag on his back, a gust of cold wind poured into his collar, he shrank his neck, it was so cold!Holding my slightly cold hands, I took a deep breath, um, it smells so good~ This elegant, indifferent, and unique fragrance makes people feel refreshed after smelling it... Stopping, looking at a proudly blooming plant not far away The old Mei, thinking about it, saw no one around, so she approached the plum tree boldly, carefully folded a blooming white plum, twirled the plum blossom with her slender fingers, brought it to her nose, and felt comfortable. After sniffing it, he put it in the book contentedly, and walked along the path to the auditorium not far away...

The wind blows, still carrying that faint fragrance...

Inside the auditorium of Nanzhou University

"Huh, huh--" There were enthusiastic applause everywhere, and one wave overwhelmed the other.

"Next, I would like to invite Ling Tian, ​​an outstanding graduate of our school in 08, who is currently the president of Ling Group, to speak to the students. President Ling was already a famous figure in the construction industry when he was still studying in our school. He has participated in domestic and foreign universities. There have been many large and small architectural design competitions and won numerous awards, including the Huaxia Construction Science and Technology Award. All of you here are outstanding students of the Department of Architecture, and you should be familiar with your senior, so I won’t say much about it. Everyone welcomes your Senior Ling with warm applause!"

"Wow--" There was another deafening applause, and the eyes of the students in the audience were burning, full of admiration and admiration.

A young man with a tall figure and handsome appearance walked forward gracefully, with a calm smile on his face, he stopped in front of the podium, glanced sharply at the densely packed students below, and when he passed the last row, his eyes flicked slightly. He dodged, then retracted, slightly bowed his head to the hundreds of excited and slightly nervous students in the audience, raised his hand and made a silent movement, and the applause below gradually died down.

"I'm Ling Tian, ​​so I won't introduce myself much. Standing here, I have only one identity, and that is a senior who can share my experience with you. For the rest, you should just listen to the principal's live broadcast advertisement. Right. Advertisements generally contain false and exaggerated elements, just listen to them casually.”

The audience roared with laughter.Earlier, I heard that this senior Ling was very strict and unsmiling, and everywhere he went, he was depressed and difficult to get along with, but now it seems that it is not always the case.

"What is architecture? First of all, it's one thing for you to learn architectural design yourself, but it's another thing to understand it. Do you use it as a tool for future meals or as an ark to realize your dreams. These two mentalities influence The starting point of your very different path in the future. I can't explain exactly how I got inspiration in design, how to integrate this inspiration into design. I just want to say one thing to everyone, I regard architectural design as the art of realizing dreams Look at it. Architecture is inspired by life, and life produces all kinds of art all the time. As a designer, you have to be free from life but not divorced from life. How to master this degree depends on your own perception. You It depends on your starting point. Drawing a house and designing are two different paths. Have you thought about it?” Simple opening remarks, with The unique magnetic voice of a mature man, the voice falls slowly, like pearls and jade falling on the ground.

"Okay, let me share with you my personal understanding of architecture. I won't tell you how to position and draw pictures. These teachers will teach you. I will give you the initiative in the next 30 minutes. You can do whatever you want within [-] minutes. Questions, of course, can only be about architecture, and I will try my best to answer them to the best of my knowledge."

The students in the audience were excited, whispering and whispering, most of them were discussing with each other what questions should be asked, and such a great opportunity should not be wasted.

After a while, several student representatives raised their hands to ask questions, mostly about the details of the design, which can only be understood with the accumulation of rich practical design experience, and with the continuous progress of the architectural design industry. Change, no matter how well they learned in school, they are only understanding theories, and there is still a lot of gap between them being able to use them flexibly, and Ling Tian is the best person to explain them on the spot.

After half an hour, the speech ended in a heated discussion.Ling Tian bowed slightly to the audience before stepping down, came to his former mentor and now Principal Cheng, jokingly said: "Teacher, let me give you face. Others say that I have facial paralysis. You see, I don't want to embarrass you. The students were scared, so I put on my old face and pretended to be kind." This tutor has always been a teacher and friend with him, and the relationship is very good, and Principal Cheng is also a veteran in the design industry, and his works are of extraordinary standards. Sincerely invite you to join your company.

"Hehe, you boy, you're not very old but you've already caught up with me, an old antique. Others like to call friends and go out crazy in their spare time, but you always act like you don't get close to strangers, aren't you bored?" Cheng Seeing that he was pretending again, the principal couldn't help poking fun at him.

"Hehe, you also know my character. I don't feel comfortable being too close to others. I have nothing to do except for business. If I force myself to do things I don't want to do in private, wouldn't I be looking for guilt!"

The students in the auditorium have been walking out in an orderly manner under the command of the teacher.At this time, a boy came to the school with his head down.

"Teacher Cheng, tomorrow I would like to... ask for a leave of absence?" The voice was clear and gentle, but slightly hesitant.

Hearing this, Ling Tian turned to look at the student.This student was wearing a washed-out white sportswear. He was slender and thin. He was half a head shorter than himself. His neck-length hair was casually pinned behind his ears. Light, eyes beautiful as ink, straight nose and thin lips.The whole person exudes a unique elegance and elegance, but because of the melancholy look on his face, this gentle temperament is faintly frail, as if this fragility can be killed with a little force.

"Oh, it's Ge Ziyan. Is there something wrong with your mother? It's okay. I understand your situation. You will write a note later and I will approve it for you. It's just that you have to take care of your studies. , and want to make money to help your mother see a doctor, can you take care of your health? I see that your complexion is quite bad recently, you should pay attention to your health! If you have any difficulties, you can tell the teacher, and the teacher will find a way to help you. "

"Well, thank you teacher! The teacher has helped me a lot, and I can't trouble the teacher anymore. The teacher has helped me a lot by allowing me to ask for leave every three days. Thank you teacher!" Nodding heavily, he got the teacher's approval. Assenting and understanding, Ge Ziyan smiled comfortably, his brows and eyes were raised, and the light in his eyes flickered quietly, like a swaying bright moon in the night sky, clear and pure.

Seeing Ge Ziyan walking away, Cheng Xiao sighed softly, shook his head slightly, and said with regret: "Hey! It's a pity that such a talented student, if he has no burdens, how can he only have the current grades. Said It is not an exaggeration, Ling Tian, ​​in terms of aptitude and savvy, if this kid devotes all his energy to this major, he will definitely achieve outstanding results in a few years!"

"Oh?! It's rare to see you praise a student like this! This makes me a little curious. He should be graduating soon, but it seems that there is something troublesome?"

Ling Tian seldom gossips. He is a cold and independent person. Except for a few friends, he doesn't like to interact with others much. He is also known in the industry for his indifference and difficulty.

"Well, although this Ge Ziyan is a freshman, he is still young. He is my youngest disciple. He studies well and has a quick mind. In fact, to be ashamed, I was inspired by him for several designs. To be honest , I have never seen such a person who is suitable for design. He can always come up with strange ideas in his head, and he has the ability to project these ideas on the design draft. It's just that his family's affairs have dragged him down He!" The more Principal Cheng said, the more he sighed, and suddenly his mind moved, and he said to Ling Tian: "Hey, Ling Tian, ​​you can help him! You see, Ge Ziyan has a good design quality, and he is also a stable student in the department. The top one. Your company is so big, there must be some place for him to work part-time! This child goes out to work every day after class, and saves money to help his mother see the doctor. It’s so pitiful! That part-time job How much is the money? I heard him say that his mother’s monthly expenses are more than 3000! It’s also thanks to this child who has persisted for so many years.”

"Uh... It's okay to help, but, teacher, you also know that the people in my company are strictly screened out layer by layer. It's okay to let him work part-time, but you have to pass the test first. That's good, you tell him Let's make an appointment, and I will interview in person. How about it? My student has done enough!"

Normally, Ling Tian would never mind being nosy, but this Ge Ziyan has a very attractive quality, and Ling Tian doesn't think he dislikes this quality.In fact, he had noticed this person before the speech just now, but at that time he was too far away to see his face clearly. He just felt that such a person sitting in a lively crowd seemed extremely lonely and helpless, so that the abruptness made him glance away. Found him in the past.

"Okay, okay, okay!" It was obvious that Principal Cheng really liked Ge Ziyan very much, and he couldn't be more happy when he heard that Ling Tian agreed to help.

After almost all the people in the auditorium had left, Ling Tian and Principal Cheng chatted for a while and left separately.Not wanting to join in the bustle of people outside, he saw that the corridor by the back door was relatively empty, so he walked back.When he passed the last row of seats, he saw a plum blossom lying on one of the desks. He suddenly remembered that when the student approached him just now, there seemed to be a faint fragrance on his body. Now he saw the plum blossom and felt that smell. It is Meixiang.Ling Tian picked up the plum blossom and put it in the palm of his hand, sniffed it, well, this year's plum blossoms are blooming well...

As soon as the afternoon class was over, Ge Ziyan picked up the books he had packed up and walked out of the classroom quickly, followed by a pretty girl who followed him and called him repeatedly: "Ziyan, Ziyan, don't go, I have I want to talk to you."

Ge Ziyan stopped when he heard someone calling him, turned around, and found that it was a girl named Yu Qing in the class, frowned slightly, looked at his watch and said, "What's the matter, I'm in a hurry. Can I talk about it another day?"

I sent him a text message before going to the bar where I worked part-time, saying that someone will book the place today, and these part-time waiters have to go there 2 hours in advance to help. Of course, the extra 2 hours count as double salary, and the bar owner usually still Very generous to these part-time students.He estimated the time, and it would take one and a half hours to rush there from school, and it was already 1:4, and he would be late if he delayed.

"What I told you last time, you said you would think about it, can you tell me the result now?" The girl named Yu Qing is beautiful and dignified, gentle and quiet, standing in front of Ge Ziyan but showing nervousness The color of expectation.

"Which thing? - Oh! Uh - Yu Qing, I'm sorry, I really have some unavoidable reasons, thank you very much for looking up to me, but, I can only live up to your good intentions." Ge Ziyan remembered, went up Zhou, a girl named Yu Qing, also stopped her in the same way, and then she was confessed inexplicably. I remember that I was afraid that I would hurt the girl's face by directly refusing, so I shirked to think about it, and then I kept avoiding her, thinking about it. If it dragged on for a few days, this girl might give up, but she was blocked today, and she insisted on giving a result, so let's give her a result directly.

"Why? I... I don't understand." Yu Qing bit her lower lip, seemingly unwilling, she didn't understand, she had a good family background, and she could be counted as a flower in the department, and there were countless people who pursued her, Among them, there are many people who are both good in character and learning or have a good family background, but she just saw Ge Ziyan in her eyes.She observed carefully for a long time. Ge Ziyan had always been alone and had no friends with girls. Every time he left after class, he would leave in a hurry. Although she didn't know what he was doing, these could not conceal his Excellent, now he bluntly refuses to be his boyfriend, but he doesn't explain the reason...I really don't want to be reconciled.

"I don't think I need to explain it to you so clearly, I can only say sorry to you. I'm really in a hurry, so I'm leaving first!"

Are you qualified to talk about the kind of love that wastes time and money?If I have this time, I might as well work two more jobs. At least I can afford the tuition and medical expenses, and at the same time, I can solve the endless problem of steamed buns and instant noodles for three meals...

Ge Ziyan looked at his watch while running, bowed his head and cursed, "Damn, I missed the car by this time."

With just a few words, he had to wait for the next bus. It would take about an hour to run from here to the bar, but it would take an hour and a half to take the bus because of the detour. It doesn’t matter if you’re in a hurry. Anyway, I’ll just take the sightseeing bus around the city, but today... the next bus came just at the peak of the off-duty rush hour. There’s a lot of traffic, and there might be traffic jams. Not allowed that time.Ge Ziyan looked at his watch again, gritted his teeth, forget it, don't wait, let's use number 1!

The author has something to say:

Uh... for some reason, I remembered to write a novel, just to practice writing, so everyone can read it freely!hey-hey...

I will try my best to update it every day!Of course, if there is a power outage or network failure, please forgive me, but this possibility is unlikely, haha...
