” No.” Susie shook her head. The next second, she stood on tiptoe with a red face, “I want to stay with you for a while longer.”
Before she got close, Ansel took the initiative, put his arm around the woman’s slender waist, and kissed her forcefully.
hiss!
The crowd started to make a noise again.
“Oh my god – that’s awesome!”
“My God, how much love does this have to have?”
Myrna took in the whole scene, and her fingers, which were holding the book tightly, turned blue.
It turns out that my heart still hurts, but… my expression is terrifyingly calm, almost numb.
She thought, you’ll just get used to it.
Even quitting smoking will cause withdrawal reactions, let alone someone you?? ve loved for six years?
Myrna didn’t stay any longer and turned to leave. She had to go back to read.
Ansel, who was standing in the crowd , seemed to sense something and turned to take a look.
A vaguely familiar figure flashed across his vision.
But the next second, the girl’s soft hand slipped into his palm, and they intertwined their fingers intimately.
Susie : “What are you looking at?”
Ansel looked away: “… Nothing.”
After sending her to the dormitory building, the man prepared to leave.
Susie held his hand and refused to let go, her eyes full of attachment.
“It’s still early, can’t you stay with me for a while?”
Ansel patted her head and said, “Be good, I’ll pick you up on the weekend.”
Under the street light, the man stood with his back to the light, and the shadow cast on his face, making his facial features more profound and distinct.
Susie’s eyes moved with a hint of pure charm: ” Ansel , can I go home with you today?”
I think every adult understands what this sentence means.
Ansel was slightly stunned, with a complicated look in his eyes.
“You are still young, wait a little longer.”
Susie was a little surprised, but she felt a little secretly happy in her heart.
He didn’t touch her, which showed that he cherished her and was not greedy for immediate pleasure, but wanted to spend a long time with her.
“Okay, I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.”
Ansel looked at his watch.
Susie nodded obediently: “Okay, remember to rest early, I will bring you millet porridge tomorrow.”
He didn’t say anything, but was in a trance and lost his mind again.
In the room.
The computer was on, and Myrna ‘s typing suddenly slowed down.
The image of the two kissing flashed through her mind, and she pursed her lips.
I got up and went to the bathroom, and poured myself with three handfuls of cold water before my mind slowly became clear again.
There is no need to dwell too much on the past that has already been lost.
The most urgent task is to prepare for the exam, and she doesn’t have much time left.
Back in front of the computer, Myrna opened the two books Professor Thoreau gave her.
One is a bioinformatics textbook, and the other is something like a note, with Sarah ‘s annotations.
In addition, there was a USB flash drive containing a paper that she had abandoned halfway during her undergraduate studies.
I originally planned to study for a master’s degree, but later…
In order to work on this paper, she stayed in the laboratory for three days and three nights, forgetting to eat and sleep. It took her nearly half a year just to collect and organize the data, and she was striving for perfection in her proofs and solutions step by step.
Although she later gave up her master’s and doctoral studies and focused on taking care of Ansel ‘s daily life at home, Myrna did not completely abandon this paper.
All these years, she did nothing except two things.
One is to be a free babysitter for Ansel ; the other is to improve this paper.
Professor Thoreau only gave her the content she had completed during her undergraduate studies. Myrna retrieved the second half from the computer, and the two parts were combined to form a complete paper.
At that moment, it seemed as if the confused first half of my life and the bright second half of my life met and formed a complete self.
After working until dawn, Myrna looked at the finished manuscript and decided to strike while the iron was hot and submitted it to Science.
One of the world’s top three academic journals, representing the highest level of human natural science research.
Myrna was not sure about getting her manuscript accepted. After all, there were so many disciplines, fields, and scientific experts in the world, so who was she? But she still wanted to try.
Before daybreak, Myrna turned off her computer and took the time to catch up on her sleep.
At eight o’clock, she opened her eyes on time, washed, had breakfast, then took her review materials and went to the library.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, I ran into Dempsey who had just returned .
It was raining outside and the folded umbrella in his hand was still dripping with water.
“Morning, you… didn’t you stay up all night?”
Dempsey : “Well, the experiment is rushing to produce data.”
He had just returned from the laboratory and was about to rush over again to pick up something.
“Here’s to you.” Myrna handed over the hot milk. “Drinking it will warm you up.”
“… Thanks.”
“Remember to change your clothes after getting caught in the rain.”
She pointed at the man’s shoulder, and Dempsey tilted his head and found a wet spot there.
“Then I’ll go first.” Myrna smiled and turned to go downstairs.
Before nine o’clock, there were already quite a few people in the library.
She put away her umbrella and before entering the museum, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.
” Myrna….”
Vita came to visit the school leaders today specifically to discuss her postgraduate entrance examination.
It happened to rain when she passed by the library, so she was temporarily trapped here, but she didn’t want to meet anyone she knew.
“Why are you here at the library? Part-time job again? You must be short of money recently. Don’t worry, I’ve already mentioned it to my brother and asked him to be more generous next time.”
“So, you should quit these part-time jobs as soon as possible. Taking good care of my brother is more important than anything else. I heard that he had a stomachache again yesterday. You…”
” Vita , who are you talking to?” Before Vita could finish, a voice suddenly interrupted her.
I saw a tall, elegant middle-aged woman walking towards me.
When I got closer, I realized that she was wearing C’s new spring couture collection. There were no obvious wrinkles on her well-maintained face, and she was holding a rare leather Kelly from Herm?? s.
Selena walked over to her daughter and glanced at her.
Eh? Isn’t this her son’s cheap girlfriend?
Myrna up and down , and his already unfavorable expression became even more disgusted.
She went out wearing only a T-shirt and jeans, without any makeup or hair done, which was really not presentable.
Selena glanced at the library behind her, then glanced at the two books in Myrna’s hands, her eyes slightly deep.
” Ms Wagner , what a coincidence.”
She deliberately emphasized the word “coincidence”.
The implication is that in order to please me, even such a lame encounter scene would be staged.
“You have good intentions,” Selena sighed, “but as the old saying goes, a monkey in clothes, no matter how well it pretends to be human, is still not a human. You’d better stop using these tricks in the future. I won’t fall for them.”
“Since we’ve met today, I’m not afraid to make it clear. Our Ansel will never marry you. But considering that you’ve taken care of his food, clothing, shelter and transportation over the years, even if you haven’t made any contributions, you’ve worked hard. After he gets married, I’ll keep a place for you by his side.”
“As for the rest, don’t ask for anything more. Only by being content and law-abiding can you last a long time. Do you understand?”
