Liu Yan, who was bored, walked out of his room and glanced at the living room behind the curtain. He saw Zhou Haiyang sitting on the floor next to the coffee table, reading information as usual.

However, what is different from the GRE preparation materials that were displayed in the past is that at this moment, there are several pieces of letter paper and a drawing spread out on the coffee table.

Liu Yan came over and glanced at the drawing. He didn't see the reason, so he asked Zhou Haiyang: "What are you studying? What is this?"

Zhou Haiyang moved the drawing to an angle, facing Liu Yan, and said, "Lin Nan just rented a house. She drew a floor plan for me in her letter."

"Why rent a house by yourself? Doesn't NYU have student dormitories?"

"It seems that the dormitories provided by the school are more expensive. You can save some money by looking for them outside, but the conditions are not as good."

"It's not a little bad, it's quite bad. The room is so small and there are so few furnitures." Liu Yan curled his lips: "Compared to the room I provided to you for free, free of charge, and with kindness, it's not a bad thing.

Half a point."

"Let's not talk about whether it's good or bad. Do you see any problems with the layout of this room?" Zhou Haiyang asked.

"How big of a problem can there be with just a few things in a place as big as a palm?" Liu Yan glanced disapprovingly.

Zhou Haiyang picked up a pen and pointed on the picture: "First of all, the bedside should not be placed directly under the window. This is a taboo.

Light and sound outside the window can interfere with sleep.

If any foreign object breaks the glass and falls in, the consequences will be even more disastrous.

Secondly, according to the analysis of the layout of the furniture on the drawing, Lin Nan should get out of bed from this side, walk to the door, open the door, and then walk along the wall of the living room to the bathroom.

Then, furniture or large items should not be placed on this path, otherwise collisions are likely to occur when getting up at night.

Look again, this one next to the door may be a bedside table or a box. It is definitely a hidden danger and must be moved."

Liu Yan glanced at the drawings, then at Zhou Haiyang, shook his head with a wry smile, and said nothing.

Seeing this, Zhou Haiyang didn't take it seriously and continued: "I'm going to redesign it for her, draw a picture, mark the issues just mentioned, and send it to her together."

"Is it useful? Maybe before your letter arrives, Lin Nan has changed rooms again. Maybe the furniture has been changed, even thrown away and picked up. You are just worrying blindly."

"Even so, all the principle issues I listed still apply, and she can refer to them later."

When Liu Yan heard this, he frowned and muttered: "No!"

Then, he walked across from Zhou Haiyang, leaned down, looked at his face carefully, and said seriously: "Haiyang, I don't think you are suitable to be Lin Nan's boyfriend..."

Zhou Haiyang was startled and raised his head: "Huh?" He was about to ask what happened when Liu Yan stood up and said slowly: "I think you are more suitable to be Lin Nan's father."

Zhou Haiyang couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.

Then, he quickly responded with his own treatment: "In my opinion, Fan Lili shouldn't be your girlfriend, she might as well be your mother."

Liu Yan didn't expect that Zhou Haiyang would fight back like this, and he was stunned!

He frowned again, as if he was pondering the deep meaning of these words, and then smiled awkwardly: "Think about it, it's true that you and Fan Lili are like the same people, both think about each other, and know how to take care of others.

.”

When Zhou Haiyang heard this, he immediately felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, do you have a military coat? Let me wear it for a day."

"Military coat? What do you want to do? I didn't say I would kick you out to sleep on the street."

"No, we can't register for the GRE test the day after tomorrow at Ningcheng University. I plan to try my luck at Southeast University. I'll go there after I get off work tomorrow night, pick up my things, and I'll probably have to wait outside all night.

Oh, by the way, is there a maza? At least I don’t have to stand all night.”

When Liu Yan heard this, he didn't ask any more questions and went straight back to the room to rummage through the cabinets.

Zhou Haiyang followed and continued: "My results in the test in April were average. I'll try harder this time. I just don't know if I can send my results in time to the schools I applied for."

After a while, Liu Yan actually took out a military coat from the bottom of the wardrobe.

Then, he found a maza from under the bed.

I saw him saying to Zhou Haiyang with a gloomy look: "I don't have to suffer these crimes. The application is in vain, and the exam is in vain. Anyway, if you can't get out, you can just eat at home and wait to die."

Zhou Haiyang did not expect that this topic would bring back unpleasant memories of Liu Yan...

Seeing Liu Yan's face full of melancholy, he silently took the military coat and the horse, not knowing what other topics to talk about.

…

On Sunday morning, Zhou Haiyang, covered in dirt and tired, opened the door and walked in.

When she heard the door open, Fan Lili, who was wearing an apron, leaned out of the kitchen and was startled by Zhou Haiyang's appearance.

"Why is it like this?" She quickly went up to him and took the folder and the folder from his hand, and asked: "Liu Yan said you went to register, but did you register? Look at you, did you fall while riding a bicycle on the road?"

"Reported." Zhou Haiyang poured a glass of water and drank it in one gulp.

He took off his military coat and put it on the stool, and said in a panic: "Made, it's like a war, there are so many people, it's a chaos.

As soon as the doors opened in the morning, the queue was in chaos.

Everyone swarmed forward and broke the spring door.

If it weren't for my physical condition, I definitely wouldn't be able to do it.

It’s scary to think about it. If someone falls, they will probably be trampled to death by the people behind.”

"Just submit the report. Finally, all the hard work was not in vain. I am spreading the eggs and will eat them with Liu Yan later." After Fan Lili finished speaking, she returned to the kitchen.

As soon as Zhou Haiyang lay down on the camp bed and wanted to rest for a while, he heard Liu Yan's door open.

Liu Yan strutted into the bathroom and made a loud urination sound.

When I walked out of the bathroom, I saw Zhou Haiyang lying on the bed. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "Hey, you're back."

Zhou Haiyang reluctantly got up from the bed, rubbed his red eyes, pointed at the military coat, and then said: "I'm sorry, there is a hole in the shoulder, maybe it was scratched by a nail."

"Nails? Where did they come from?" Liu Yan was stunned for a moment.

Zhou Haiyang narrated the scene he just told Fan Lili again, and then said: "The scene was so shocking. I felt at that time that everyone was trying their best to go abroad."

"Everyone? Nonsense. I don't want to go abroad. It's so great now. Do you think they are all as poor as you?"

"Look at your potential!" Zhou Haiyang suddenly felt inexplicably irritable.

After a hard night and fighting his way out of the crowd, he felt like his nerves were about to collapse.

"Me? What's wrong with me?" Liu Yan frowned: "It's too late for you to envy me. With a beauty like Lili accompanying me every day, I am as happy as a god. What more can I ask for?"

Zhou Haiyang, who was so angry that he couldn't help but blurt out: "You are just playing with things to lose your ambition!"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zhou Haiyang's heart skipped a beat, thinking that this was terrible! But it was too late to regret it!

At this moment, Fan Lili was holding a plate of three poached eggs, standing at the door of the kitchen, glaring at him angrily: "Why are you talking?"

Fan Lili, who has always been sharp-tongued, felt embarrassed and annoyed at this moment, and then said bitterly: "If you don't know how to use idioms, don't use them!"

When Liu Yan saw this, he quickly came out to smooth things over for Zhou Haiyang: "Hai Haiyang's Chinese language was taught by his physical education teacher. We don't want to be on the same level as him."

As he spoke, he took out the small folding table, opened it and set it up in the aisle.

Zhou Haiyang chuckled: "How can there be a physical education teacher in a poor place like ours? But my fifth-grade Chinese is really self-taught, because the Chinese teacher himself only went to the fourth grade of elementary school."

"No need to explain, I know what you mean!" Fan Lili angrily threw the plate on the table.

"No, Lili! I really don't mean anything else. I just think Liu Yan will be useless if he continues like this..."

"Where am I useless?" Liu Yan pinched his neck again.

Fan Lili stared at Zhou Haiyang: "What's wrong with him being like this now? Isn't it exactly what you hoped for at the beginning? Don't you also want to see him be happy all day long and stop thinking wildly?"

"I, that's not what I was referring to at the beginning. You misunderstood what I meant. I hope you can make him stop competing with others and find a job down to earth."

"At the beginning? What at the beginning? When did you two join forces to plot against me?" Liu Yan looked at Zhou Haiyang and Fan Lili in confusion.

Zhou Haiyang felt that the words were not coming out of his mouth, so he said, "I just think that Liu Yan, you are so smart and talented, and if you continue to stay like this, you will be completely wasted."

Fan Lili winked at Zhou Haiyang and told him to stop talking.

Liu Yan had already stuffed most of the poached egg into his mouth and muttered: "You really think you, Zhou Haiyang, have a lot of potential, and you are not wasted? You are a top student from a prestigious university, and in a prestigious national research institute, you just turn on the water all day long.

, cleaning the table, mopping the floor, and memorizing vocabulary, what does this mean if it’s not wasteful?”

"Of course I don't think I have any future, but at least I should have a goal and a head start." After hearing what Liu Yan said just now, Zhou Haiyang's confidence suddenly dropped a lot, and he lowered his head: "Actually, I

I also found that I am not the type to engage in academic research. Alas, to be honest, I may not be able to do well in going abroad, just to be with Lin Nan."

"Isn't this great? In order to be with the person you like, it is certainly worth making every effort to fight for it." Fan Lili's face was filled with pride and she glanced at Liu Yan: "Liu Yan and I have already achieved this goal.

.”

"Then we should strive to achieve the next goal. How can a person only have one goal in his life?" Zhou Haiyang became more excited after hearing what Fan Li said.

Liu Yan pointed at Zhou Haiyang with his chopsticks: "Haha, Haiyang, you also said that I am too idealistic. It turns out that we are the same. I am always dissatisfied with the status quo, and you are always dissatisfied with the status quo."

"There are many people who are dissatisfied, and several heads of our unit are also dissatisfied with the status quo." Zhou Haiyang said, turning to look out the window, and said in a daze: "I always feel that this will not continue like this, we can't

Let our entire generation find no way out and no hope..."

There was a sudden silence in the room, as silent as death.

It was Liu Yan who created the silence, and it was Liu Yan who broke the silence. He smiled self-deprecatingly: "Humph! Do you think I really only know how to get into trouble and aim too high?

To tell you the truth, I am just unwilling to overcome my own obstacles.
