Volume 3: Dance of the Aurora Chapter 28: Day and Day
Ning Yu'an picked up the bowl of soy milk , pursed her lips and blew gently on the surface of the liquid.
Not only does the food in this crappy canteen taste terrible on weekdays, but they only offer hot soy milk in the middle of summer.
If there is no ice, even room temperature water will do. You will definitely sweat profusely after drinking such a big bowl of hot water.
Blowing for a long time seemed to have no effect . She put the still hot bowl of soy milk on the table, clasped her hands to her chest, leaned back on the chair, and turned to look at the lawn outside the window.
Ning Yu'an would always switch to this position involuntarily when sitting on a chair, because it would make her shoulders much more comfortable and allow her skin to stretch, so that it would not be squeezed together and cause heavy sweating.
This huge lawn and the tall building behind it are considered the iconic attractions of the university. She still remembers that in May last year, she was sitting on this lawn and recording a video to cheer on her high school juniors for the college entrance examination.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a year has passed. The sun rises and the moon sets, day after day.
Ning Yu'an's first year of college passed by in a daze. The dazzling adult world made her overwhelmed. Since the beginning of the school year, she was overwhelmed by one task after another, and before she knew it, it was vacation.
Besides, this is the Magic City, and there are so many things that are not available in my own small town.
After entering her sophomore year, she began to think about what she would do next. It seemed that there were not many choices in her current major. The career path was either to do scientific research or to become a doctor. Either way, she would have to work very hard.
At this time, the feeling of relaxation after the college entrance examination had not yet faded.
Just like in high school, she still chatted casually with Fang Cheng every week. For them, occasional casual chats were as natural as eating and drinking. Although the opportunities to meet offline were getting fewer and fewer, Ning Yu'an felt unhappy when she thought of this.
Last winter break, he went home and didn't even take the initiative to look for me! It was so irritating.
At that time, she thought Fang Cheng was spending the New Year at school. After all, based on past experience, he was capable of doing such a thing.
The topics of their conversation kept evolving. At first, they talked about what they saw and heard in their respective cities. After all, even the subway was quite new to these two country bumpkins after just arriving in a big city. Later, the topic of their conversation turned into complaints about the courses and professors. With Fang Cheng's help, she got A in both her university physics courses.
After that, the topics of conversation were basically replaced by endless complaints and gossip. After graduating from high school, many of my classmates broke up and got back together, which provided endless topics of conversation.
From those conversations, she learned that Fang Cheng's emotional life had always been very monotonous, in other words, it was basically blank. In fact, even Ning Yuan Ye couldn't imagine what kind of person he would fall in love with.
After being together for nearly twenty years, she still didn't understand what that person's XP was like, and he himself never mentioned it.
The only clue was that Fang Cheng would involuntarily glance at his chest, but this information seemed useless, after all, all boys of the same age did the same.
If Ning Yu'an really had to guess what type of person he liked, he could only think of the goddess of wisdom Athena or someone like a genius scientist. After all, there was very little information in this regard.
But there seem to be a lot of geniuses in his school, so we must be on guard.
Hiss, is there a possibility that my house has been robbed? I dare not think about it.
One weekend last semester, she called Fang Cheng to chat as usual, and he suddenly told her what scientific research he was thinking about doing.
Ning Yu'an was not used to this topic when he first heard it. Although discussing these things was in line with his style, they had only graduated from high school for more than a year at that time. Were they going to start the next round without much rest?
On the phone, Fang Cheng described very excitedly that many of his classmates had begun to look for directions they wanted to go deeper in, but he himself had nothing to do and only attended classes every day. He now had a strong sense of crisis.
"So, is there anything you're particularly interested in? Or anything you particularly want to study?"
"Isn't that the problem? I feel like I'm about to be left behind."
"Pfft, you're addicted to the roll, huh?"
"I don't know how to do anything else except studying. I feel like a loser every day."
"Well, after you entered university, you always ranked first in the exams. If you are a waste, then what am I?"
"Isn't taking an exam also a form of learning? I have nothing else except this specialty of learning. If I can't even beat others in this, how can I gain a foothold in society in the future..."
It's so tiring to chat with him, the overflowing anxiety is about to burst out of the phone.
"Emmmm, if you must find a specialty, I remember that you cook delicious food."
"Can such trivial things be considered survival skills? You want me to be a cook in the future?"
"Maybe you can (laughs). You can even make difficult dishes like crispy white meat and fried oyster roe. My dad praised it highly after eating it."
"Everyone can do this kind of thing with a little research, and it can't be used to make a living."
"I can't do that. Didn't you scold me for this before?"
Ning Yu'an cooked a meal for him once before, and this guy kept complaining for a long time like a food judge, saying that the starch was not enough to stick to the meat and that the sweet and sour sauce was not sour enough.
Who understands such professional guidance, my family members? In fact, those dishes are quite delicious as home-cooked meals.
Besides, the girl has taken the initiative to cook for you, what else do you want?
"Haven't I apologized several times? Why are you bringing this up again?"
"Hey, you're really irritating. Let's change the subject, or we won't fight anymore."
"Well...actually, I've been reading a book about the solar system recently. I might take the initiative to contact my astronomy teacher to see if I can do anything."
"That feels great. Looking at the stars is so romantic..."
Ning Yu'an finally finished drinking the soy milk without sweating. At this time, the blue sky had slightly cut through the thick clouds, and the air began to become brighter.
It’s not hot, so let’s take a walk around the campus.
The biggest feature of the main campus is that there are so many trees, and they are very tall and sturdy, which can provide a hint of coolness in early summer.
Ning Yu'an walked along the campus path surrounded by thick green shade, feeling the fleeting scent of early summer.
The cicadas begin to chirp, the sparse shadows are slightly cool, the breeze is strong, and the fragrance drips into flowers.
Before she knew it, she had come to her favorite sculpture, which was an infinity symbol with a gap. Although Ning Yu'an didn't understand the professional concepts of architectural art, she believed that this gap was the highlight of the entire work.
Infinity is a concept that can only exist in the world of thinking. Perhaps it has to be a little incomplete in order to have any connection with the physical world.
