Her parents didn't live up to expectations, but fortunately her grandfather loved her very much and was always protecting her. Even though the Li family had been discussing the engagement of the younger generation, he still found ways to delay it time and time again.
"I will protect you from now on. I will support you no matter how you want to live."
Li Mo said with firm eyes.
"Thank you."
Qin Sirui said softly, then took the initiative to hug his waist and put his head on his shoulder.
Li Mo's body was a little stiff, and then he hugged her gently.
"Xiao Mo, I'm leaving first. Give me a call when you have time."
Qin Sirui let go of Li Mo, got into the sports car with a happy smile on his face, waved to him, started the car and left.
"Xiao Mo, Sirui, are you leaving?"
Yanagawa Kei asked knowingly. Just now he clearly saw two young people hugging each other.
"Yes." Li Mo nodded, and then asked in surprise, "Master, why did you come out?"
Yanagawa Qing lit a cigarette, took a few puffs before sighing and saying, "That girl Yingying is so shameless. Today is your birthday, and she actually forgot about it. I called her again just now, but no one answered."
"Master, there is no need to blame Yingying for this matter. Don't say she forgot, even I didn't remember it. By the way, do you and Master Niang consider settling in Kyoto?"
"Forget it, I'm used to living in the capital. If Yingying hadn't gone to university in Kyoto, I wouldn't have agreed to be a visiting professor at the National People's Congress. Besides, your master is already old, so it would be easier to visit him more often in the capital. "
Li Mo stopped continuing this topic.
"Master, please send me a copy of the teaching materials for the elective courses offered at the National People's Congress for my reference."
"Okay, I'll sort it out and send it to you later. You can add some of your own thoughts after reading it. Come on, let's go back. It's still quite hot outside."
When Li Mo returned home in the evening, he received a text message from Yingying on his mobile phone: Happy birthday!
Li Mo replied: Thank you.
Some things have to be forgotten eventually, and some people have to leave.
Time passed quickly, and the Beijing University New Year Party finally started.
Li Mo stayed in the office behind the auditorium. In ten minutes it would be time for him to speak on behalf of Laosheng. He had a draft in mind for this speech, but he still had to improvise on the spot.
"Are you nervous?"
Huang Zhi handed him a bottle of water.
"It's okay, not too nervous."
Huang Zhi smacked his lips and said, "That's a speech in front of thousands of people. Think about it if I stood on the stage facing so many people below, the pressure on me would be overwhelming. I don't dare to think about it."
Is there anything in the world that can surpass life and death? This is just a small scene. Several thoughts flashed through Li Mo's mind, when a senior sister ran in and shouted: "Junior Li Mo, please get ready."
Li Mo took a deep breath and followed his senior sister to the edge of the stage, where he saw the host of the party saying enthusiastically: "The next person speaking on behalf of the old students is Li Mo, a sophomore majoring in history and archeology. Please invite me."
The host walked to the edge of the stage, handed the microphone to Li Mo, and said encouragingly: "Brother, come on."
Li Mo stepped onto the stage with a microphone. He walked to the middle position and turned around to face the dark crowd of students sitting below. The two rows at the front are the school's leading teachers, the ones behind are mainly freshmen, and the last few rows are old students, and of course they are also crowded with standing old students.
He stood under the light and became the focus of everyone.
"A few days ago, when I received the notice that I would be the one to speak on behalf of Lao Sheng, I thought it was a joke. I'm from the Department of Archeology, and you asked me to study ancient and elegant bronzes and study beautiful and beautiful bronzes. I can still have some confidence in the beautiful porcelain, which is what I am best at. But if I am asked to speak on the stage, it is not my strong point. In terms of appearance, there are a lot of handsome seniors at Peking University who are much more handsome than me. In terms of essays and talents, There are countless talented people in the Chinese Department. I can’t represent others, I can only represent myself.”
This very special opening aroused everyone's curiosity, and there were bursts of good-natured laughter below.
"I refused at the time, but my teacher, Professor Zhu Changping, persuaded me to go back and write the manuscript, and we can discuss how to revise it together. It was then that I suddenly understood that writing a speech was very important to a professor in the Department of Archeology. It’s a little difficult for me.”
Hahaha.....
There was more laughter below, and even Professor Zhu, who was sitting below, smiled and shook his head.
"I had no choice but to accept this glorious and great task. I sat at my desk and started thinking about how to write. After thinking about it for half an hour, I finally started to write. The first sentence was 'Dear Junior Sister', and then I I stopped writing. I felt something was wrong at that time. I stared at those five words and pondered for half an hour before I suddenly realized that the beginning of this sentence did not look like a speech, but rather like a love letter to my school girl."
More laughter and applause immediately sounded below, and many people stood up and cheered to Li Mo. This senior is so interesting and down to earth.
After it became quieter, Li Mo continued with a smile: "I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat. If I really wrote this, all the students would probably hate me for four years."
"Senior, we don't hate you."
One of the male classmates was really amused and laughed out loud, and even shouted at him.
"Senior, we like what you wrote." There were also female students who were not afraid of trouble cheering, and the atmosphere in the entire auditorium was suddenly aroused.
"Professor Zhu, you are such an amazing student."
"Yeah, I was worried that what he said would be a bit cold, but I didn't expect it to be quite funny."
Several people sitting next to Professor Zhu praised him.
"Later, I thought about it for a long time, and finally threw the piece of paper on which I wrote the beginning into the trash can. I don't know what can be said and what can't be said, and those words can be recognized by the students. I I don’t dare to talk nonsense, so in this place, I will talk about what really happened around me.”
"Two things, two people, one person represents your past, and the other person represents your future. The first person is a girl. She has practiced stick martial arts with an elder in the village since she was a child. She is very good at it. She is awesome, but she has never bullied anyone based on this. Her family's conditions are good and her pocket money is enough. But she has never spent the pocket money given by her elders. In the summer, she catches lobsters in fish traps and catches eels. In the winter, she collects small fish and shrimps to make hot sauce. , doing everything possible to earn pocket money by herself. Under this premise, her grades have always been excellent, and she has been admitted to the city's key high school today."
Many people don't understand what this story is trying to say, so they just sit there and listen quietly.
"The second person is my classmate. He received a full scholarship in his freshman year. This is enough to prove how hard he usually works in his studies. But despite such hard work, he still found time to do his own work. Small business. The small business grew bigger and bigger, and many students were inspired to follow him."
When Li Mo said this, he saw a complete silence below, so he smiled and continued: "Some people say that college can make a person mature from a childish person. In these four years, you just need to wait for the development, and the rest can be done after graduation. .”
"But what I want to tell you is that it is during these four years that life really changes. College can make you mature, and college can also erase the dreams you had when you were young. Stop relying on your parents, and stop dreaming about a certain future. One day you will suddenly become successful. Keep your feet on the ground and pursue your dreams. Don’t be afraid of failure or being laughed at. When you experience them all, you will find that past failures and ridicules are the greatest wealth in your growth.”
"Thanks."
