Chapter 8: Oh, I was stood up again 2
Mo Kairui smiled and comforted everyone: "Thank you all for your guidance and care these days. I am convinced by the voting results. Please don't speculate rashly, so as not to hurt the feelings between colleagues. If there is a chance in the future, we will discuss with each other in the field of software."
At this time, the director also came over and encouraged: "Xiao Mo, good job, a man should be able to bend and stretch. In a week, Shengtong will hold a large-scale job fair for the public, and I hope to see your resume then."
Mo Kairui did not agree explicitly, but bowed deeply to the minister: "Thank you for the internship opportunity. I have learned a lot and will visit you again when I have time." After that, he packed up the personal belongings on the table and walked out of the office holding the box.
Shen Chenxi's internship was also over. She picked up a few important things in a confused state of mind and packed them up, then walked out of the office. Just as she was about to press the elevator door that was about to close, she was stopped by Qin Muyang.
The moment she turned around, she missed the obscure and lingering look that Mo Kairui was looking at her with in the elevator.
"Chenxi, will you... apply for the position at Shengtong?" Qin Muyang hurried over and expressed his hope.
"No. Didn't you also think that I wasn't suitable to stay here?"
"I……"
"Qin Muyang, come on!" After saying this, Shen Chenxi hurriedly took the elevator downstairs to chase Mo Kairui. But when she walked out of the company, Mo Kairui had disappeared.
Well, even if she caught up with him, she didn't know what to say. From now on, they were just classmates, and after graduation, they would go their separate ways and there would be no chance for them to meet again.
It is better to forget each other than to support each other.
But why did she feel so sad?
As graduation approaches, Shen Chenxi calms down and devotes all his energy to preparing for his graduation defense.
Originally, she thought that she and Mo Kairui would not have any more contact until graduation. However, before graduation defense, this situation of "ignoring each other" was broken by a strange phone call. It was a call from the organizer of the "Light Painting Run" event. On the phone, a clear female voice sounded in her ears: "Hello, is this Shen Chenxi?"
Shen Chenxi was slightly stunned and replied: "Yes! May I ask who you are..."
"I'm the organizer of the 'Light Painting Run' event. Not long ago, a boy ordered equipment from us. He also came to Green Apple Park to register on the day of the event, but did not participate in the event. We have been unable to contact him, and I saw your name and phone number on the registration form, so I'm sorry to bother you. Do you have time to pick up the equipment?"
Shen Chenxi woke up from his daze. So, on the Chinese Valentine's Day, Mo Kairui did not break his promise and he really went to "Green Apple"!
"Hello? Are you still listening?"
The voice on the other end of the phone continued. Shen Chenxi knocked on Hun Dun's head and quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes, please tell me the address. I'll get it now."
"The reception desk of the Red Mansion at the Ximen Gate of Green Apple Paradise."
Shen Chenxi wrote down the detailed address in a small notebook, dressed in a simple T-shirt and jeans, and hurriedly took a taxi there.
When she arrived, the girl who came to pick her up was the girl who stood next to Mo Kairui on campus last time. Obviously, the girl also recognized Shen Chenxi, and her tone was a little surprised, but also somewhat clear: "It turns out that this Chenxi is really that Chenxi, no wonder Mo Kairui is not that Mo Kairui."
Shen Chenxi was confused by her sudden tongue twister. Without waiting for her to explain, she asked, "What's going on? Where is the equipment you mentioned?"
The girl took out a pair of fluorescent wings and a jumpsuit and replied, "You can't see anything during the day, but this can glow at night. The reason we organized this event is to encourage people with night blindness to occasionally come out and participate in night activities, and not to resist the night." She paused briefly, met Shen Chenxi's attentive gaze, "I went to your school that day to find Mo Kairui to return the equipment. Our activities have always only provided jumpsuits, but before the Chinese Valentine's Day, he specially found us and begged to customize a set of angel wings, saying that it was a confession gift for his future girlfriend. As a result, after the event ended at 10 o'clock that night, he still didn't wait for the girl he wanted to confess to, and he didn't take the equipment away..."
Shen Chenxi felt tight in the chest and changed his sitting position slightly, listening to the girl continue: "When I came to your school to find Mo Kairui, I thought he would accept the equipment, but he decisively refused. He said that it was no longer meaningful to him. Although it is only a few hundred yuan, I think it should be returned to its original owner. That day, when I heard him calling your name when you were arguing, I suspected that you were the owner of the angel wings. Seeing you today, it seems that my guess was right..."
Looking at the fluorescent wings and jumpsuit in her hands, Shen Chenxi was completely speechless. She stroked the wings blankly for a long time before asking, "Did he wait for me at the west gate that day?"
"Yes, after the event ended at ten o'clock, our staff saw him waiting here and he left at eleven o'clock."
How stupid was she to have misheard West Gate as East Gate and missed Mo Kairui.
After returning to school with tears in his eyes, Shen Chenxi was about to find Mo Kairui to explain everything, but when he turned on his cell phone, he saw a text message from the dormitory head appearing on the phone interface.
"Chenxi, come back quickly! 'Master Ye' has called an emergency defense rehearsal. If you don't answer my call, reply quickly when you see the text message. If you're late, be careful of her 'poisonous hands'."
Shen Chenxi unlocked her phone, which was in silent mode. She had seven missed calls, three of which were from "Master Ye". It was urgent. Although she wanted to find Mo Kairui right away, she was still a little afraid of "Master Ye", so she had to run to the graduate classroom opposite the boys' dormitory.
When Shen Chenxi arrived, the classroom was already crowded with people. Shen Chenxi quietly found a seat in the last row and sat down. When he looked up, he saw Mo Kairui sitting in the mock examiner's seat.
The joy in my heart burst out all at once.
This was the first time they had met in public since the misunderstanding. In the past, seeing his arrogant attitude, she would have complained about him in her heart: We are both graduates, why are you putting on airs!
But today, after truly knowing his unspoken feelings for her, she felt that he was supposed to be that kind of person, a child of destiny, with a natural advantage over them, the rookies.
Although "Master Miejue" was present, she couldn't help but look at him.
When she arrived, a large group of students in front had already finished their pre-defense. In the blink of an eye, another group finished their defense, each taking five minutes, and it seemed that the questions were not particularly difficult.
When it was her turn, she couldn't help but smile at Mo Kairui. This smile was so dazzling in the eyes of "Examiner Mo".
The other examiners asked easy-to-understand questions, and Shen Chenxi answered them smoothly.
When it came to Mo Kairui, the questions suddenly became tricky and sharp.
Questions like "Can you describe the difference between valid XML and well-formed XML?"
What! She couldn't understand anything at all! Besides, this wasn't even the content of her thesis. He was just teasing her.
He finally had a change of heart and lowered the difficulty of the question, but it involved her personal emotional issues again, such as "To whom do you think a girl would be irresponsible if she transferred to a major that her boyfriend was studying but she didn't like, just for the sake of her boyfriend?"
…
The little bit of apology Shen Chenxi felt for finding out that she had misunderstood him disappeared completely because of his tone of targeting her. He didn't break the appointment, but she didn't either. She waited until twelve o'clock. What was he thinking now that he was embarrassing her in front of so many people?
Shen Chenxi glared at him and insisted on the "three no policies": no compromise, no knowing, and no answer.
Seeing that she was silent, Mo Kairui snorted softly, "Where is your usual sharp tongue?"
Even the most obtuse people at the scene could see that something was wrong with the two of them. Today, "Mrs. Miejue" also stood on Shen Chenxi's side abnormally. She glanced at Mo Kairui and said in a serious tone: "Xiao Mo, don't ask questions that are not related to the thesis."
Mo Kairui turned to look out the window, whispered "sorry", and motioned the next student who was going to defend his thesis to come over.
Shen Chenxi was still trapped in the atmosphere of his thorny tone, which made her feel uncomfortable. When her temper came up, she ignored her ladylike image: "Mo Kairui, how did I offend you? It was wrong of me to misunderstand that you broke the appointment on Valentine's Day, but you are so naive to be so weird!"
Seeing her talk about Qixi so lightly, Mo Kairui also got angry and mocked her: "Shen Chenxi, don't pretend to have lost your memory after three glasses of wine. If you really don't remember, please go ask Qin Muyang..."
After this incident, their gossip was updated on the campus forum. The general content was that due to the intervention of a "third party", the "twilight love" of the "Sheng Mo couple" was very likely to fail, and their true fans fainted in the toilet.
Downstairs in Shengtong Building, Shen Chenxi was waiting for Qin Muyang. She wanted to hear what the so-called "truth" of Mo Kairui was.
Qin Muyang was overjoyed when he saw Shen Chenxi came to him on her own initiative - Chenxi, she was not with Mo Kairui, and she changed her mind and came to find him?
"Qin Muyang, Mo Kairui said that on the Qixi Festival..."
"Chenxi, you've come just in time. I have good news for you. I've been promoted to a full-time employee." Qin Muyang deliberately changed the subject. "I'll treat you to a big dinner after get off work today to celebrate my new life at Shengtong."
"Qin Muyang!" Shen Chenxi was in a really bad mood today, and looked at him with increasing impatience, "Mo Kairui..."
"Please, can you not mention Mo Kairui today?" Qin Muyang said carefully, choosing his words carefully, "I was originally planning to go back to school to find you after work, and now that I see you take the initiative to find me, I am really happy. Chenxi, I'm sorry, I regret it, I shouldn't have broken up with you."
Today, Shen Chenxi made him feel cold and a little difficult to approach. Maybe if he didn't say something now, he would never have the chance to say it again.
