Chapter 126 Xia Miao's Gift
After talking about the business, Ji Wanying didn't stay any longer. She said she had to prepare for her classes in the afternoon and left first.
He Shu sat alone for a while. He cherished this opportunity very much.
He had learned something about it before. The school would assign mentors, but one of Professor Zhang's level was not among them.
It is very important to have a good mentor in school.
Professor Zhang has a very good reputation outside. It is said that he teaches his students very carefully.
After the scientific research results come out, he will also give the credit to the students who participated in the research. He is a very selfless teacher.
He Shu's fighting spirit was instantly ignited. He knew that a professor who supervised graduate students and doctoral students would not waste his energy on freshmen.
Unless the freshman has a solid knowledge base, he will not ask stupid questions and hinder others when participating in scientific research after joining the group.
So He Shu plans to make up for it during this period of time and make sure to prepare well in order to become Professor Zhang's student.
During the afternoon class, Xia Miao sent a message to He Shu, asking him to have dinner together in the evening.
He Shu turned on the mute button and buried his head in studying, and was not seen until almost dinner time.
He hurriedly called Xia Miao, and Xia Miao said with a smile that she was already in Huaqing.
The two met at the cafeteria entrance and went upstairs together to get food.
Seeing He Shu swiping his card to get food, Xia Miao couldn't help but think of the discussion she had with her roommate about their views on love.
He Shu never takes the initiative to suggest going to some high-end restaurant or romantic place for dinner.
She would be very satisfied if she could be asked what she wants to eat. For Xia Miao, it is a happy thing for two people to have a meal together.
The two ate their meal in silence, just like they did in high school.
Xia Miao likes to pass the food from her plate to He Shu. He Shu used to just eat silently, but now he will occasionally pass the food for her.
Although the dish is placed between the two people and can be eaten by one person, the dish picked by the other person seems to be particularly fragrant.
After dinner, Xia Miao took out a small box: "This is for you."
"Hmm?" He Shu took the box: "What is it?"
"Open it and take a look."
He Shu untied the ribbon tied into a bow and opened the box, revealing a watch inside.
With a black dial and a black woven strap, it is a casual digital watch.
Aside from the different strap, it was very similar to the one he had before.
"Do you like it?" Xia Miao's eyes were full anticipation: "I can only buy this for you now. When I make money in the future, I will buy you a better one."
He Shu asked in confusion: "Why did you suddenly give me a watch?"
“You used to wear…”
He Shu touched his wrist. The electronic watch he used to own was bought by his mother when she was still alive. It was just an ordinary plastic-cased watch that cost a dozen yuan.
He wore it from sixth grade to high school. Now that he is in college, the watch is no longer suitable, so He Shu put it away.
"Come on, I'll put it on for you."
Xia Miao took the watch, pulled He Shu's wrist, helped him fasten the strap, and then looked at it carefully for a long time. It was indeed a good fit.
"Do you like it?"
"I like it, thank you." He Shu withdrew his hand and touched the very fashionable watch dial.
“Isn’t this expensive?”
" It's fine."
He Shu put the box away and asked a very practical question: "You bought me a watch, and do you have living expenses?"
Xia Miao covered her mouth and laughed: "Of course there is? I have calculated it, it will be just in time for the winter vacation, and you don't have to worry, I still have the New Year's money I saved before ."
It's just right, just for living expenses. If I want to buy something, I will have no money left.
"Do you have classes tomorrow morning?"
Xia Miao thought for a moment and said, "It's okay after 10 o'clock."
"Then let's go buy bicycles at 10 o'clock tomorrow."
"Okay." Xia Miao nodded quickly: "I've already looked at a few car dealerships, I'll take you there when the time comes."
After the two made an appointment to meet again tomorrow, He Shu sent Xia Miao back to school.
Xia Miao remembered that it was He Shu who was beaten on the way back after sending her there last time, so she became a little worried.
She refused to let He Shu take her to the dormitory.
I walked back and insisted on watching him walk across the street at the school gate. The two of them waved to each other from a distance.
He Shu touched his watch and walked back to school, thinking to himself that he had never bought any gifts for Xia Miao.
Godfather said that boys should be more proactive, but He Shu doesn’t know what to buy for Xia Miao?
He always felt that money should be spent on useful things, but Xia Miao seemed to have everything she needed.
Then I can only buy her a bicycle tomorrow, which is relatively useful, but the bicycle doesn't seem to be enough to pay for the watch...
After returning to the dormitory, Feng Haoxiang gave his previous notes to He Shu, who carefully looked through them to see if there were any new topics discussed in them.
Feng Haoxiang was also studying. Deng Hongyuan had not returned yet. The dormitory was very quiet, with only the occasional sound of Feng Haoxiang turning pages and writing, and the sound of He Shu's keyboard taking notes on the computer.
"Brother Shu..." Feng Haoxiang came behind He Shu at some point and watched him doing practical operations on the computer.
"Hmm?" He Shu didn't even turn his head, his fingers tapping quickly on the keyboard: "What's wrong?"
"That..." Feng Haoxiang, who was always lively, actually started to act shy.
He Shu looked back in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Brother Shu, when you finish using your computer, can you lend it to me?"
He Shu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that everyone in the dormitory, especially students in their major, brought computers to school, but Feng Haoxiang seemed to have never had one.
He Shu had never paid attention to where he went to practice before.
"Oh, sure."
Feng Haoxiang was happy again when he heard this: "Thank you, Brother Shu. There are too many people in the computer room. I didn't get a seat today."
He Shu closed the page where he was writing code: "It's okay, you can use it, I have another one."
"There's another one?" Feng Haoxiang looked around: "Where is it?"
He Shu found the PDA his aunt had given him. "I don't know if this will work. My aunt gave it to me and said it's also a computer. I haven't tried it yet."
When Feng Haoxiang saw the small handheld computer, he exclaimed, "Oh, this, I've seen this before. It can be used for programming."
"Is it okay? I haven't used it yet." The two studied it together for a while and found that this little gadget ran programs very quickly.
"Brother Shu, can you lend me this small one?"
"Okay, you can use it first. Don't rush to return it to me. I can't use it for the time being." He Shu was not stingy. He gave it to Feng Haoxiang when he asked for it.
"Thank you, Brother Shu. I will definitely not mess it up."
Feng Haoxiang took the small computer back to his seat and started studying it carefully, while He Shu continued to practice C language programming.
Everyone’s family conditions are different, and He Shu feels that Feng Haoxiang is a bit like his past self.
But he didn't have as good a mentality as Feng Haoxiang before. When he was in junior high school, his life was the most difficult time for him. Wasn't his indifference to others due to his own psychological inferiority?
If there hadn't been the demolition and his aunt hadn't found him, I'm afraid even if he had been admitted here, he would still have had a hard time making ends meet.
How could I even think about what gift to give to Xia Miao?
He Shu discovered that he had changed a little since he knew about the existence of his grandfather's family and had come into contact with them.
Now he won't use something until it's no longer usable before throwing it away, and he won't always have only two pairs of shoes to wear over and over again.
His wardrobe is now filled with new clothes bought for him by his godfather and aunt. He doesn't calculate the cost of each meal carefully, so how can he save as much money as possible for the next meal?
Thinking of this, He Shu suddenly stopped typing on the keyboard. He found that he had really changed...
