I miss you by the stars

Chapter 58

When Yu Xi and Meng Chenchen continued to walk out of the airport, the variable frequency poster board began to turn over other posters again. It was a female star endorsed a luxury eye cream. The black and white photos were thick and colorful, trying to highlight the allure of the eyes.

Yu Xi took a deep look at the poster.

Meng Chenchen's heart twitched, and he smiled and said, "What are you looking at?"

"Just take a look." Yu Xi withdrew her gaze: "I don't seem to know any female stars now."

"This is a new flower that has emerged in the past few years." Meng Chenchen laughed and fooled the past: "You have been in academic retreat for so long, it's normal if you don't know it."

Yu Xi nodded: "Yes."

No one mentioned that the little flower on the eye cream poster just now looked very similar to Jiang Yi at first glance.However, upon closer inspection, it was far from Jiang Yi's captivating peach blossom eyes.

Walking to the gate of the airport, Yu Xi took out her mobile phone: "I'll call a car to take my luggage back to the dormitory."

Meng Chenchen: "You will live in a dormitory in the future? The welfare is good enough, but the country should also value talents like you."

Yu Xi nodded: "Welfare is one aspect, and the other is to facilitate centralized management."

After waiting for a while, the car she called arrived, awe-inspiring to the destination of the dormitory area of ​​the National Aerospace Academy, with a serious face of "guaranteed to complete the task", carrying Yuxi's luggage and leaving.

There is only one shoulder bag left in Yu Xi's hand, and it is hung on one shoulder: "Let's go."

Meng Chenchen recognized the bag at a glance: "Are you still using this bag? I remember that you used this bag from high school. You brought it to university and abroad. I didn't expect you are still using it now!"

She teased Yu Xi: "Promote the style of hard work and simplicity?"

Yu Xi smiled and said nothing.

After getting into Meng Chenchen's car, Meng Chenchen turned on the navigation, and thoughtfully turned off the notification sound to the minimum: "Are you tired from the flight? It will take more than an hour to drive back to Beihang. Take a moment and I'll call you when we arrive."

Yu Xi: "Well, thank you."

Meng Chenchen started the car, Yu Xi held the backpack in her arms, and pressed her forehead against the car window.

Meng Chenchen thought she was asleep, but she wasn't.

She opened her eyes slightly, looking at the night in Beicheng.

It's been a long time.

Since the second semester of my sophomore year, I went to the UK for exchange. Thanks to the participation of several domestic and international talents, the project has made breakthroughs one after another.Yu Xi is talented, hardworking, and at the forefront of the opportunities of the times. After graduation, she returned to China directly, followed the domestic group of research projects to join the National Academy of Aeronautics and Space, and continued to study and study while working.The branch she is in is far away in the Gobi, where all the people are working hard day and night for Haozhou NO.15, in order to realize the one-year space exploration trip.

This retreat lasts for four years.

Now, the launch of Haozhou NO.15 is imminent, and Yu Xi followed the project team back to Beicheng, tracking the follow-up data of the project and preparing for the new project.There is no need to retreat during the preparation stage, and this is the chance to meet Meng Chenchen.

The night scene of Beicheng in front of him is both familiar and unfamiliar to Yu Xi.

Row upon row of high-rise buildings seemed to be a little denser than before.The ancient gray tile city wall seems to have not changed at all.The huge poster hanging on the tall building seems to be in the same position as it was six years ago.It's just that the stars on the poster are all unknown to Yu Xi.

She looked around, but didn't see a pair of peach eyes.

Finally she closed her sore eyes.

What are you looking at?As early as six years ago, she decided to let go, didn't she?

The car was driving slowly, Yu Xi was half asleep and half awake, and kept knocking her head lightly on the car window until Meng Chenchen called her in her ear: "Yu Xi, wake up, we're here."

Yu Xi opened her eyes, got out of the car, stretched her arms and legs, and followed Meng Chenchen to the barbecue stand.

It was already too late now, because Beihang had clearly stipulated the return time, and the entire College Street was deserted, not to mention this barbecue stall hidden behind the street.

The boss was happy and leisurely, squatting on the concrete steps to one side to smoke, and the other elderly machine in his waist was still playing his favorite late-night emotional novels very loudly.

The boss, the barbecue stand, and even the oil-stained wooden tables and chairs beside the barbecue stand, nothing has changed.

Yuxi looked away.

Otherwise, it seems that I can still see a peach-eyed woman sitting here eating barbecue with her in my sophomore year.

Meng Chenchen called the boss: "Uncle, order!"

The boss scratched his head and looked up: "Hey, student, why haven't you returned to school yet? Your dormitory will be locked!"

"!!!" Meng Chenchen jumped up on the spot: "Uncle, how many times have I told you! I am a teacher, a teacher!"

The boss glanced at her up and down: "Impossible. Oh, it's no big deal to sneak out to eat barbecue, I won't tell your teacher."

Meng Chenchen was extremely speechless and took Yu Xi to the side to sit down, Yu Xi took off his mask and laughed non-stop.

"Smile!" Meng Chenchen glared at her: "I won't show you my girlfriend's photo anymore!"

Yu Xi smiled and asked, "Is it Wang Na?"

"Well, yes!" Meng Chenchen still couldn't hold back and took out his mobile phone to sprinkle a handful of dog food, and showed Yu Xi the photo of the two of them together in the album.

Yu Xi: "Very good."

Like Meng Chenchen, she would not make any narrow comments about her friends. For example, Meng Chenchen used to think that he was interested in boys, but then she actually made a girlfriend, she thought it was normal.

She didn't ask, so Meng Chenchen avoided saying that it was actually the part between Yu Xi and Jiang Yi that deeply enlightened his awakening of gender consciousness.

She put away her mobile phone: "How are you? Haven't talked to any of them in recent years?"

Yu Xi shook her head: "No talk."

Meng Chenchen: "There should be a lot of elites in the research institute, but there is no suitable one?"

Yu Xi: "Everyone in the courtyard is very busy. To be honest, apart from working together, we don't even have time to play together."

Meng Chenchen: "Then you don't socialize at all? Are you crazy?"

Yu Xi thought for a while: "It's Shu Xing who comes to see me occasionally."

"Just the young lady?" Meng Chenchen asked: "Is she still chasing you? You are really persistent."

Yu Xi picked up a bunch of butter.

According to her thoughts in her sophomore year, she would say no, Shu Xing didn't chase her, and everyone agreed to be friends.

But as he got older, Yu Xi also understood that this was not the case.If it weren't for expectations, who would be willing to invest time and effort regardless of the cost?Yu Xi tried to persuade her several times, but Shu Xing had no intention of giving up.

Meng Chenchen is still sighing: "You don't know that young people nowadays have no perseverance in playing games, chasing dramas, and falling in love. If they can't catch up in two weeks, they will change immediately. How many years has Shu Xing been chasing you? You started in the third year of high school, you are a big rock and she is a small water drop, and she should wear you through!"

Yu Xi bit the butter: "It's a matter of feeling, not time."

Meng Chenchen fell silent suddenly.

Having said that, I should ask along the way, "Who made you feel?"

But Meng Chenchen didn't need to ask, she knew the answer very well - Jiang Yibai.

But six years ago, Yu Xi resolutely left, and soon after that incident happened to Jiang Yi, Meng Chenchen felt that Yu Xi must not want to think of Jiang Yi again.

She bit a bunch of steamed buns in silence, and spoke after a long time: "But you can't just stay alone forever, can you?"

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, don't spend it alone all the time."

******

Meng Chenchen heard that Yu Xi had just returned to Beicheng, and she had to clean up the bed after returning to the dormitory, so she made a decisive decision for her: "Don't worry about being so tired tonight! Go to sleep at my house! I'll clean up for you tomorrow!"

Yu Xi couldn't refuse, and was dragged to her home by Meng Chenchen.

Although Wang Na clamored to see Yu Xi's sharp mouth, she was actually a literary dead house with a phobia of beautiful women. When she saw Yu Xi's speech, she immediately stopped: "Engineer Yu Yu!"

Yu Xi smiled: "Just call Yu Xi."

Meng Chenchen pressed Yuxi on the sofa, and winked at Wang Na: "Let's clean up first, don't move around!"

Yu Xi smiled: "Is there anything invisible?"

Meng Chenchen pulled Wang Na away and entered the study, Wang Na was a little confused by her: "Mr. Meng, what is there that we don't see?"

Meng Chenchen: "You and I put away Jiang Range's posters and photo frames!"

Wang Na: "Why, don't you admire her the most? Could it be that now that her house has collapsed, you are embarrassed to admit that you like her in front of Yu Xi?"

Meng Chenchen stuffed the poster and photo frame into the bookcase: "Stop talking nonsense, put it away!"

After a busy meal, Wang Na was afraid that Yu Xi would feel uncomfortable, so she went back to her room early. Meng Chenchen found a set of clean pajamas and bath towels for Yu Xi: "Are you sleepy? You go wash first?"

"By the way, this is for you." Yu Xi took the backpack, took out two boxes of creams, and handed them to Meng Chenchen: "This is developed by the Aerospace Academy itself, and it is not for sale. It contains hexapeptide and tranexamic acid. bump, it hydrates and firms the skin."

Meng Chenchen's eyes lit up when he took it: "What kind of black technology is this? Is there such a benefit to having a high-tech talent as a sister?"

"Oh, by the way, I forgot, you want to look more mature and older." Yu Xi made a gesture to take the cream back: "Give it back to me."

Meng Chenchen was in a hurry: "Who said I don't want it anymore?"

Yu Xi burst out laughing, took out her toiletry bag and walked to the bathroom.

Meng Chenchen called from behind her: "Yes, Yuxi, now I've learned how to be cute!"

She felt that what to say when she met Yu Xi this time, she seemed to have a more cheerful personality and smile more, but she always felt that something was wrong.

Yu Xi smiled and closed the bathroom door.

******

When putting down the toiletry bag, Yu Xi shook her hand, and the toiletry bag fell onto the washstand with a clatter.

She didn't care, she just looked away quickly, bewildered, as if there was something on the washstand that she absolutely shouldn't look at.

Actually nothing.

It's just a small mirror with Jiang Yi's photo printed on it. It was delivered around when "Crash" was released. Meng Chenchen kept it on the shelf as a collection, and never used it as a mirror. He packed it up and forgot about it.

Unprepared, Yu Xi felt as if her heart had been stabbed when she saw those peach blossom eyes.

She didn't know how she finished washing, and after saying hello to Meng Chenchen, she got into the guest room, took out her phone and hesitated for a long time, and typed the name "Jiang Range" in the search box with trembling fingers.

She thought she would never search for this name again in her life.

In the past six years, she has persisted very well.

But now because of a small photo, the defense was completely broken.

She said to herself in her heart: It's just a search for news, nothing more.

Unexpectedly, there was no real-time news at all. The last time Jiang Range's name appeared in the news was more than five years ago.

The four words accompanying her name are particularly eye-catching - "Bad artist Jiang Range".

******

On the next Saturday, Meng Chenchen didn't have to go to work, so he drove Yuxi back to the dormitory, and helped her cover the quilt and hang up her clothes for a long time.

Yu Xi: "Thank you Chenchen, I don't know how long it will take to clean up by myself."

Meng Chenchen: "Hmph, it's for the sake of the magical space cream. Do you think God is really fair? He makes you a giant in academics and a dwarf in life at the same time."

Yu Xi smiled: "Who do you think is a dwarf?" He made a gesture to hit Meng Chenchen, but Meng Chenchen dodged: "Forgive my concubine! Who doesn't know that you are good at fighting?"

The two made a fuss, so Meng Chenchen didn't notice, but Yu Xi's eyes drooped with a smile on his face.

Bring up those past events of fighting when you were young.

Always reminds her of someone.

The one who would reach out and catch her when she was on the verge of falling.

After tidying up, the two of them went to have dinner together. It was the first time Meng Chenchen came to the cafeteria of the Aerospace Academy to see that everything was fresh. When ordering a tomato scrambled egg, he had to ask whether the tomato seeds had been in the sky. Yu Xi thought it was funny: "Did you Do you think you can live forever if you eat the food here?"

Meng Chenchen actually nodded seriously: "I think it's possible."

Yu Xi is even more funny: "You yourself used to study aerospace engineering."

Meng Chenchen held his face together: "That's why I left the academic circle, so that I can remain innocent forever!"

Meng Chenchen was going back after dinner, Yu Xi asked: "I have an appointment with Zhou Qi and his girlfriend for dinner tomorrow night, speaking of which, you are still traveling together, do you want to go together?"

After Zhou Qi graduated from Bei Normal University, he also chose the same path as Meng Chenchen and stayed on to teach.

Meng Chenchen has never met Zhou Qi, but occasionally hears Yu Xi mentioning that this is the only high school classmate she still has contact with: "Are Zhou Qi and his girlfriend getting married?"

Yuxi nodded.

"Okay, let's go together." Meng Chenchen asked, "What time is your press conference tomorrow?"

"Three o'clock."

"Then I'm just going to have dinner after I'm done. Do you want me to pick you up?"

"No, I'll just take a taxi."

******

The next day, the press conference lounge.

The makeup artist held a powder puff, and carefully applied powder to the person in front of him, while glancing at Yu Xi who was sitting aside flipping through magazines: "Engineer Yu, don't you really need me to put on makeup for you?"

"She doesn't need it!" The person being powdered is Yuxi's former bureau chief, who came to Beicheng to attend the press conference: "She is a young girl who is naturally beautiful, what can she do! It makes us rough old men even more I can’t see it! Hey, is my powder not thick enough here? The sun spots have come out.”

Yu Xi looked up from the aerospace magazine and smiled: "I never wear makeup, and the director, I am not a young girl anymore, I am already 26."

Makeup artist: "Isn't 26 the best age? Engineer Yu really doesn't need makeup when he looks like this." He looked at Yu Xi's face and sighed: "Fortunately, not everyone looks like you, otherwise I would lose my job."

A fair and firm face, with a sharp jawline, and a delicate and elegant facial features, with a sharp taste when not smiling.I don't know if it's because the skin is too good, or because of Tolai's clear black and white eyes like clear streams, his face is shining brightly without powdering at all.

It is a light that is calm, confident, and confident about the future.

After the chief finished his makeup, the others gathered together and went to the press conference.On the big screen, the background is bright blue, and the big characters "Haozhou NO.15 Manned Flight Mission" are solemn and sacred.

Wearing the same bright blue engineer uniform, Yu Xi saluted the media at the scene together with the team. Apart from the media, there were also a small number of ordinary people who were able to come to the scene to support by drawing lots.

After Yu Xi finished his salute, he casually pulled a strand of hair that fell on the side of his face behind his ears. With a simple movement, the scene went crazy:

"Ah, ah, Yu Gong, kill me!"

"Can you believe this is a state without makeup? Su Yan is too much! No wonder the reporter went to the base to interview, and Yu Gong's work photo became popular!"

"Sister, look at me! Sister, I can do it!"

Of course, Yu Xi was unaware of the enthusiasm in the media seats and audience seats, with a bland and expressionless face, and in the eyes of everyone, it was a cold lore.

The press conference introduced the Haozhou NO.15 project overview, launch time, and set up a media questioning session.

Many questions came to Yuxi: "May I ask Yu Gong, as the only woman in the project team's chief engineer team, how do you feel?"

Yu Xi took over the microphone: "At work, neither my colleagues nor I are aware of my gender, so please don't exaggerate this. I hope that when more little girls see me, they will understand that you can do anything you want, and you don't have to be someone's girlfriend and wife."

"How did Yu Gong decide to join the aerospace industry?"

Yu Xi: "I grew up in a small town in a big mountain. It was so backward that many people couldn't imagine, and there was no 4G network. When I was young, I thought it was too small, so small that I could see the end at a glance, except for those who looked up at the top of the mountain. The blue sky, the blue sky is very big, and there are occasional planes flying by. At that time, I thought that when I grew up, I would build planes. Later, relying on the opportunities of the times, I was able to build not only planes, but spaceships. To the blue sky, but to a more vast universe."

"Then, Yu Gong, was there anyone who had a great influence on you when you were growing up? Now that you are so successful, who do you want to see the most?"

Yu Xi's eyes were half down, and the scene was quiet for a moment.

"No." Yu Xi raised his eyes and said, "There is no such person."

She put the microphone down and sat down directly.

It's just that when Yuxi's team was leaving the arena, on the way back to the waiting room, there was a passage where the audience could be seen from afar.

Yu Xi's eyes narrowed, he hesitated for a second, and then hurried over.

She almost jumped over the safety fence, and the movement was so fast that the security guards had no time to stop her: "Hey engineer Yu..."

Some viewers who had heard the movement were looking this way, and suddenly went crazy: "Ahhh, Yu Gong's jump just now was great! What if I don't have time to take a picture with my phone?"

Yu Xi hurriedly ran towards the audience passage, and patted the back of a figure with long straight black hair.

A bunch of melon-eating people were watching, mainly because of the expression on Engineer Yu's face at the moment, which is a bit hard to describe.

At first glance, he looks expressionless, but upon closer inspection, his brows and eyes are tense, as if a little nervous.

Engineer Yu became famous in the academic circle with his calm and rational demeanor, would she be nervous?

The woman who was patted by Yu Xi was on the phone, but she didn't hear the movement of Yu Xi behind her. Now she turned around and saw that it was Yu Xi, she was stunned: "Engineer Yu Yuyu?"

Yuxi withdrew his hand.

A group of melon eaters saw that Engineer Yu's eyes darkened and his brows drooped, but that happened in an instant, as fast as their illusion.

In fact, Engineer Yu just nodded to the woman with his usual cold expression: "Well, you are today's lucky audience. If necessary, I will sign for you."

The woman was about to faint: "Ah, what kind of luck am I!" The onlookers burst into envy and hatred.

After Yu Xi finished signing and handed it to the woman, she turned silently and walked back to the lounge.

The woman she mistook just now did not have peach blossom eyes.

******

In the evening, the four of Yu Xi and the others made an appointment to eat hot pot, and Yu Xi took a taxi to the hot pot restaurant.Fortunately, she is not an entertainment star. She is wearing casual clothes and sitting low-key in a corner. The hot pot restaurant is steaming, and no one notices her.

She introduced Zhou Qi, Gong Xiao, and Meng Chenchen to each other, and took out face cream from her backpack and gave it to Gong Xiao. Gong Xiao was as happy as Meng Chenchen.

She also noticed Yu Xi's backpack: "Have you been using this bag since college? Haven't you changed it yet?"

Zhou Qi corrected: "I have been using it since high school."

Yu Xi is wearing a suit jacket today, with a large silhouette, and a loose white T-shirt inside, revealing two straight collarbones.She has broad shoulders and is tall and straight, so she looks very suitable in such clothes, with a heroic spirit in her delicate and capable.

When she came in with a backpack on her back, Gong Xiao couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Now she has no hostility towards Yu Xi at all, it is purely out of instinctive appreciation for beauty.

Yu Xi is now very different from before, those dusty bread down jackets and sneakers with pilled laces have all gone away from her.Gong Xiao still remembers that Zhou Qi told her before that Yuxi never had new clothes in high school, and she always wore her cousin's old jeans, which were so baggy that people would laugh at her even in places like Zhuzhen. poverty.

It seems that everything in the past has been separated from Yu Xi, but I don't know why this backpack stayed, and it looks out of place with her current exquisite body.

"Yu Xi, you've become popular now, do you know that?" Meng Chenchen took out his phone and found a photo of Yu Xi's work and a photo of her participating in an event, all of which were widely circulated on Weibo. There are a lot of sisters yelling like that. In the two photos, Yu Xi is walking with her head buried in her head, with that old backpack hanging on her shoulder.

Meng Chenchen: "Your mother fans and girlfriend fans are all running around telling each other that you like this kind of nostalgic retro style, and they are all begging for your same retro backpack in Xianyu. You are the king of goods."

Yu Xi put down his backpack, picked up a piece of tripe and rinsed it in the pot.

Her backpack is either retro or really old, and it was also used by her cousin Cao Xuan. It should have been bought for a few dozen dollars back then, but the quality is surprisingly good.After traveling with Yuxi for so many years, many places have been thinly worn out, but they are not rotten.

Why haven't you changed your bag?Obviously it's not because of the money. Tech talents are paid very well now. Compared to before, she is now very rich.

What are you thinking about?

Most of the time, Yu Xi herself couldn't explain clearly, until later, once they went to KTV after dinner at the sub-bureau, there was a boy who usually seemed to be very introverted and reticent, sang a song, and cried while singing.

At that moment, Yu Xi understood why she didn't change her bag.

She bit the tripe and suggested softly, "After we finish the hot pot later, let's go sing."
