Xiao has thought about it for a long time

On the occasion of the handover in July and August, Jiangcheng ushered in the hottest period of the year. It was too hot to go out at [-] to [-] degrees. The ground seemed to be scorched by fire, and the leaves on both sides of the road were under the strong light. More shiny dark green.

During this period of time, everyone was busy, and Josie, who was always at leisure, was also busy without touching the ground. He was exhausted after three jobs in a row.

Getting a tattoo requires bending over and bowing the head for a long time. After a long time, the neck and waist hurt. Sometimes after a busy day, the eyes are sore and astringent.There is only one person in the store, and it must be tiring to do everything. Josie thought about whether to hire an assistant, but then thought that he didn't make much money for a month, and if he hired someone else, it would be useless, so he dismissed the idea .

Tang Yi runs here every day. Summer vacation is the most leisure time. There are few school things. She is not a local. She has no relatives or other friends in Jiangcheng. When she is bored, she comes to help out.

"I'm really dying from the sun. The sun has never changed. I don't know when the temperature will cool down. I originally planned to go out for a while. It's better to stay at home when it's so hot." Tang Yi went in with two cups of cold drinks.

Josie was designing a pattern. Hearing this, she drew a picture and said, "You can go to Kunming, where it's not so hot."

"I have been there in the first half of the year, and it is meaningless to go again."

"S City is not bad either."

"The consumption in City S is too high. If you spend two or three thousand dollars, you will suffer." Tang Yi said, putting the cold drink on the table, and glanced at the blueprint, "Your business here has been doing well recently, and there are constant customers every day."

"The flow of people is heavy, and there are many students during the summer vacation." Josie put the drawings on the other side of the table, stood up and moved around, her neck was sore and stiff.

The number of students during the winter and summer vacations has doubled, and they can selectively accept orders, as long as they are not impulsive tattoos. After all, young people have a high acceptance of tattoos, and they are the main customer group.

Tang Yi rubbed her neck and thumped her back.When Josie was an apprentice before, Tang Yi often went to the tattoo parlor to beat Josie's back and shoulders. Now when she saw Josie twisting her neck, she knew it must be in pain again. She said with concern: "Take a break properly and relax." Relax."

Josie responded and took a sip of the cold drink.

The sun in the sky is scary to look at. There are not many pedestrians in the bustling Qijing Street during the day, and everyone only comes out at night. The glass doors of the shops opposite are shining and reflecting light, which is very dazzling.

Tang Yi talked about the school. She is studying for a master's degree, and the tasks in the second half of the year are particularly heavy. The professor who took her intends to keep her. Although he didn't say it clearly, the meaning in the words is that he will contribute to staying in school. Tang Yi was very grateful for this, but also worried, because the debt of favor was hard to repay.

"Don't think too much. You still have the strength if he doesn't help you. It's just a favor. If you have a chance in the future, you will return it." Josie reassured.

At dusk and sunset, the temperature dropped and it felt better without the hot sun. Josie invited Tang Yi to eat seafood and chatted along the way.

Tang Yi actually came here today to ask Josie for help. All the schools in the university city plan to hold a sorority party this weekend. The main purpose is to let the teachers get to know each other and promote the friendship between the schools. Professor with Tang Yi.

"College sororities are like that. Anyway, one person talks for a few minutes, and it's just a formality, but it's not summer vacation now. There are not many students staying in school. There are always two people missing for etiquette. Are you free on weekends? If so Give me one."

This is often the case when organizing activities. Tasks are passed on from layer to layer, and the people at the bottom are the most difficult to handle. Public units handle everything simply, with limited budgets, so extravagance and waste cannot be allowed.

Tang Yi also had no choice. He had already searched for all the people he could find, and managed to gather a team. He thought that Josie was also in the etiquette team of science and technology before, so he could help him.

It just so happened that Josie was free, so she responded immediately.

"Is there anything else to do?" Josh asked.

"No, everything is ready, come to rehearse on Saturday, and just pick up the costumes by the way."

It was the beginning of August on the weekend, and the weather was as hot and dry as before. The sun hung in the sky and I dare not look directly at it, making people dizzy.

The rehearsal is in the hall on the first floor of the activity center of the Polytechnic University. The venue is very open, and it is the place for the gala. More than half of Josie's university activities were held here, so it is very cordial.

The professor with Tang Yi is also here today. He is their professional class teacher and Josie's graduate advisor. He is also accompanied by a former algebra teacher.

Josie is not very good at getting along with the teacher, and she will only shout politely when she sees someone.

The algebra teacher was not very old, but he remembered her and replied, "Josie, go back to school?"

Josie was slightly surprised and said, "Come as a courtesy."

The algebra teacher introduced her to the professor, and they got together to chat for a while, and then Josie took the time to rehearse.

The impromptu etiquette team members are all postgraduates. Everyone is of the same age and can still joke a few words. Tang Yi is very busy directing in the studio. There is a problem with the equipment in the middle. It was supposed to be over at four or five o'clock, but it was delayed until after seven o'clock .

While eating in the back street of University City, I met Zhao Shihuan and his group, including Zhuang Qiyang, but there was no Fu Bei, they were all from Jiang University, and they came back today to have a look, so they met by chance.

Zhao Shihuan spoke first: "Qiao Qiao, why are you here?"

Josie glanced around, "Come and see, how about you?"

"Same," Zhao Shihuan said, "Just came out, do you want to go together?"

She can talk, but it's hard for Josie to refuse.There is a literary-style Qing Bar near the university town. Everyone used to go there when they were studying, but today they go to nostalgia.

Nowadays, folk songs are popular, but they were still a niche style a few years ago.

Josie ordered a cup of new products, and Zhao Shihuan sat next to her, chatting with other people and her from time to time.

Not long after returning to Jiangcheng, Zhao Shihuan had a lot of things to deal with, so she hadn't been seen recently. She also ordered a new cup, but she didn't treat Josie too special during the whole process, just treat her as usual.

This also made Josie feel more comfortable, and she opened up the chatterbox while chatting.

Zhao Shihuan is very charming, she has been like this since she was a child, compared to Fu Bei who is cold and aloof, she is approachable and well versed in the principles of dealing with people, she can grasp the boundaries, just like now a few words can bring the relationship between the two closer distance.

The glass of wine was quickly finished, and Josie refilled it. When the bartender brought over the wine, Zhao Shihuan helped to serve it. Josie accidentally touched the man's hand when he went to pick it up.

Unlike Fu Bei's coolness, Zhao Shihuan's hands were warm.

The moment he touched it, Josie curled his knuckles to avoid it, feeling cramped.

Zhao Shihuan acted as if nothing had happened, calmly asked, "Are you free next week?"

Josie thought for a while, "There should be, why?"

"If you want to invite everyone to a meal, it's up to you."

"Which day?"

"Friday or Saturday, it hasn't been decided yet, I'll check it out in two days, and I'll let you know then."

She agreed that the content of the chat was usually relaxed, and it was a topic among friends. She introduced Tang Yi to everyone, chatted and drank peacefully, and went back to each house after ten o'clock.

The pressure has been relatively high recently, and I had a good day, Josie was in a good mood, and the whole person relaxed a lot.

The sorority meeting was held in the evening, and it was ready at 05:30. Tang Yi was responsible for maintaining the order of the venue, and he didn't even have time to catch his breath before and after running.

During the holiday, Josie thought that there would not be many people coming. Unexpectedly, half of the hall was full of people, and some teachers even brought students over. There are many academic bigwigs present, if anyone can teach them, then they are lucky.Academics are purer than shopping malls, and guidance is worth a thousand dollars. Sometimes a boss can solve a problem that has plagued me for a month or two with a single sentence.

Josie was behind the team leader, standing behind the curtain, and saw Fu Bei in the second row of the audience at a glance, but the audience couldn't see here.

I haven't seen her for nearly a week. This person is dressed in a black shirt, with narrow waist and long legs. She is gentle and decent. She sits among a group of old professors, chatting with ease. The old professors are all smiling. Some people write while talking. What is being recorded seems to be talking about academic related.

Before the sorority meeting started, the girl next to her suddenly said, "That's Professor Fu Bei from Jiang University, he looks even better than the photo."

"I'm only 27 years old. I studied in S School in the United States before. I heard that she is the niece of the business principal."

There are a few girls in the etiquette team who are familiar with each other, and they can't stop talking. There are young professors in the university, but there are very few good-looking ones. Everyone likes handsome men and beautiful women, so they will inevitably pay more attention to these.

Josie couldn't get in the conversation, and waited silently with the other people, distracted, and suddenly heard the girl from before say: "Teacher Qiu Yinong is here too."

She looked up subconsciously, and saw a woman in a crow blue dress slowly entering the hall. The woman was silky and elegant, with a book fragrance from the inside out, gentle and generous.

Qiu Yinong Shi Shiran walked to Fu Bei's place and said something.

Fu Bei got up to give up his seat and moved one person inside. Qiu Yi sat down with a smile. The two should have known each other a long time ago, otherwise they wouldn't be so familiar with each other.

The girls gossip about "Jiang Da Shuangshu". Qiu Yinong is Fu Bei's senior sister and a talent from a scholarly family. Josie pursed her red lips and couldn't help but look over there a few times.

Qiu Yinong was a little close to Fu Bei when she was talking, but as the number of people in the hall became more and more noisy, she got even closer, almost whispering in Fu Bei's ear.

Fu Bei was okay with this senior sister of the same school, not as indifferent and alienated as he was with other people. No matter what the other party said, he would reply with a sentence or two.

Seen from a distance, the behavior of the two appears to be very intimate.

Josie lowered her eyes and looked away.
