Genius Girlfriend - v4 Chapter 135
Jiang Yubai missed Lin Zhixia’s voice, breath, temperature, and the way she looked at him, the chuckle that pressed against his ear, the fingers that stroked his neck and shoulders… He couldn’t reproduce the past clearly in his mind The scene, fragmented fragments are enough to make him bound by thoughts.
At six o’clock in the evening, the plane landed at Boston Airport.
Jiang Yubai took a car and set off from Boston through the “Longfellow Bridge” and quickly arrived in Cambridge. The driver parked the car on the side of the road. Jiang Yubai called Lin Zhixia again. She ran down the stairs in a hurry and happily went straight to Jiang Yubai: “I miss you so much!”
In the biting cold wind, Lin Zhixia’s face was slightly red from the cold. Her eyes were astonishingly bright, as if there were stars flickering in the sky, and the white-lighted street lamps lengthened her reflection. She said again: “I miss you so much.”
Lin Zhixia broke through Jiang Yubai’s line of defense with only four words. He reached out to her and was caught by her. She asked softly: “Do you miss me?”
Jiang Yubai sighed in a low voice, “How can I not want to.”
He took Lin Zhixia into the car.
The lights broke through the night, and the car was still moving forward.
Along the way, Lin Zhixia was discussing her recent research progress with Jiang Yubai. She works 14 hours a day, gets up at 6 in the morning, goes to bed at 11 in the evening, and has to catch colleagues to talk about topics at lunchtime. Jiang Yubai asked her: “Are your colleagues hard?”
Lin Zhixia summarized: “Most of the colleagues in our group are very hard, because the boss has a high admission threshold and high job requirements… I came to this group because I wanted to enter their laboratory. I have basically used it.”
Speaking of experimental equipment, Jiang Yubai turned the topic to the “PTSIC” quantum programming language platform founded by Lin Zhixia.
At present, the entire platform is anchored in Wei Ruoxing’s laboratory, but Wei Ruoxing still has her own subject, and her laboratory cannot fully meet Lin Zhixia’s development needs.
Jiang Yubai is preparing to establish a quantum technology company for Lin Zhixia in the name of an Internet company to fully support the future development of “PTSIC” and no longer need to trouble Wei Ruoxing to use her laboratory resources.
Jiang Yubai took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Lin Zhixia: “This is the first edition of the business plan of the Quantum Technology Laboratory. You can flip it through if you take the time. Specific cooperation content, etc. We will talk more about you when you return home.”
Lin Zhixia stared at Jiang Yubai closely: “You…”
Jiang Yubai looked at her: “Me?”
Lin Zhixia said solemnly: “Mr. Xiao Jiang.”
Jiang Yubai approached her ear: “I am not young anymore.”
Lin Zhixia’s breathing was stagnant.
Yes it is.
Jiang Yubai is not young anymore.
Years ago, as long as Lin Zhixia called him “Mr. Xiao Jiang”, he would be particularly ashamed and embarrassed, avoiding her and dare not look directly at her. But now, his reaction was beyond Lin Zhixia’s expectations.
Jiang Yubai ordered a suite at the Four Seasons Hotel. The price of the room was more than four thousand dollars a night, which exceeded Lin Zhixia’s monthly rent. Lin Zhixia has long been used to this economic gap. Carrying her schoolbag, she stepped into the room frankly, walked to the master bedroom, and pressed the mattress with both hands.
Jiang Yubai took off his coat and said casually: “I’m going to take a bath.”
Lin Zhixia looked back at him: “I will go too.”
Lin Zhixia meant that she was going to take a bath in another bathroom. Jiang Yubai unbuttoned a shirt, consciously exposed his collarbone, and opened the door of the bathroom. Lin Zhixia is always welcome to visit.
Why is this happening?
After not seeing her in just a few months, Lin Zhixia felt that Jiang Yubai had more and more fishing methods for her.
Jiang Yubai did have his own considerations.
Jiang Yubai guessed that Lin Zhixia was willing to meet him on Christmas because most of the research group’s projects were suspended during Christmas, and the researchers went home for the holidays. It is rare that Jiang Yubai had the opportunity to be alone with Lin Zhixia, and he decided to appropriately let go of self-discipline.
After Jiang Yubai completed the psychological construction for himself, he turned on the faucet of the bath. There was an uproar in the water, and the warm mist filled him. Sitting in the undulating pool, he heard Lin Zhixia ask him: “Are you taking a bath?”
He was silent.
Lin Zhixia sneaked in.
Jiang Yubai leaned back.
Lin Zhixia was wearing a nightdress, kneeling and sitting on the edge of the bath. She looked up and down his whole body through the clear mirror-like water. She froze for a while, and cautiously reached out and touched him: “I… the first time I saw you…” After the words, she suddenly stopped. He raised his head and stammered: “I dare not look again.”
Jiang Yubai grabbed her wrist and kissed the back of her hand. Then he let her go and moved to another position to sit quietly. Lin Zhixia looked at his profile and was bewitched by him. The ghost followed him into the water. The water line crossed Lin Zhixia’s thigh, and she retreated like a dream. To the shore.
Jiang Yubai is Lin Zhixia’s swimming coach. She clearly remembered how he looked in swimming trunks, but she hadn’t reached the last step in her exploration of him. Even if they had lived together for a year, Lin Zhixia did not get out of the most dangerous thunder pond.
The short ten seconds just now left a deep impression on Lin Zhixia.
Strong curiosity drove her to follow Jiang Yubai, and reason advised her to stay where she was. There was a lot of entanglement in her heart, and in the end, she quickly fled the scene.
Throughout the Christmas period, Lin Zhixia and Jiang Yubai stayed in the hotel. During the day they went out for a walk, and in the evening they played games that only the two of them understood. At night, they slept in the same bed as before, but Lin Zhixia became extraordinarily honest, and she never asked Jiang Yubai to unbutton her and let her study.
The winter in Boston is cold and humid, but the room is bright and warm. On the last day of the Christmas holiday, Jiang Yubai and Lin Zhixia bid farewell to the bedroom door. Lin Zhixia gave Jiang Yubai a packet of golden flower tea seeds. She said that when Jiang Yubai came back home, he planted golden camellia into flower pots. Next fall, when golden camellia blooms, Lin Zhixia will return home.
Camellia is native to China. Lin Zhixia got its seeds at a botanical academic exchange meeting. Its flower language is “ideal love”.
That pot of golden flower tea became the first plant Jiang Yubai planted by himself.
Jiang Yubai placed the flowerpot on the window sill of his office and took care of it every day. He also took time to read two books on “flower gardening” and consulted a professional bonsai master.
He and Lin Zhixia are very busy with their daily work. The two maintain a weekly call record. Lin Zhixia publishes thesis faster than during the PhD. Jiang Yubai watched her growth as if waiting for a golden flower tea to bloom.
Senior Sister Wei Ruoxing taught Lin Zhixia how to apply for the “Qing Qian”. With Lin Zhixia’s academic resume so far, she quickly passed the university’s resume screening and submitted the letter review materials in June 2015.
Lin Zhixia doesn’t know how fierce competition this year’s “Qingqian” project is. She didn’t ask anyone to inquire, and only briefly told Professor Shen Zhaohua of her plan-if she was lucky enough, she would become Professor Shen Zhaohua’s colleague.
Professor Shen Zhaohua quickly replied to her and asked her whether her scientific research in the United States went well.
Lin Zhixia told the truth that in this year in the United States, she got up early and went to bed every day, socially closed, focused on scientific research, and her life was very peaceful, just like practicing in retreat. Lin Zhixia also provided a lot of new ideas for their research group and collaborated on two papers with the boss in the group. All colleagues in the group are very diligent and hardworking. She has learned a lot of new concepts and knowledge. Now, she Can’t wait to return home.
The next second, the mailbox prompt sounded “ding”.
Lin Zhixia opened an email from Jiang Yubai. She saw a golden flower tea blooming in a flowerpot, the petals were bright yellow, the branches were lush, and the scenery was very beautiful.
Jiang Yubai wrote in the letter: “The flowers are blooming, it’s time to go home.”
Lin Zhixia responded to Jiang Yubai with four words: “See you next Monday.”
