I said to Loraine, "Bill Navan is the best professor. He never treats us as children." She laughed, "It's a pity he's talking about heat dissipation." I said, "That's okay, I can take his subject." She said: "His subject is difficult, and the questions he gives are also difficult. What I am most afraid of is that when he mentions cosmic ray ultraviolet rays, my head is dizzy. Think about it, how many shells does an atom have? " I laughed, "The first floor is called the K floor..." Luo Lian said: "Okay, okay, don't memorize it, you too, study so viciously, but you are considered a good student, and your classmates also like you."

I said, "I'm interested in basic common sense. Come to think of it, what's wrong with atoms? I like it." "Nafan will teach you in the second half of the year?" "Well, after Christmas, he still teaches us. It's not that I don't like Mr. Gauck, his chemistry and biology are very reasonable. I'll wait for Navan." We walked all the way home, at five o'clock, it was raining lightly, there were fallen leaves all over the place, most of the pedestrians were students, and there was a traffic jam in the middle of the road.The weather was quite cold, I was breathing white, and I was wearing a cloak, which was both rainproof and warm. Luo Lian held an umbrella to cover me.

It takes fifteen minutes to walk home. Luo Lian said: "You are really amazing. Last year, you cried in chemistry class, and asked Mr. Gao Ke to apologize to you. What do you mean? As a result, the three science teachers were frightened. Miss B asked me to teach you, and Gao Ke called me Staring at you, Navan said: "Tell her not to be afraid, learn slowly." It's amazing, who doesn't pay the tuition? Your situation is really disgusting and terrible!" I smile. She is one level above me, and she often lectures me old-fashionedly.Last year, three professors drove her to take care of me, but she was not convinced. She ran to see me and sneered, "I thought it was some kind of tall and six-armed figure, but he was just a thin man who could be stuffed into a gasoline tank if he squeezed." Go." Later, she was very kind to me, took care of me all the time, and gave me advice when I had problems. After a year, we simply moved in together and got along very well.The professor told her to find me and get to know me, just because we are the only two Chinese in the school, but now we have become good friends.

When we got home, it was warm. We sat together and did our homework. We had already had dinner in the school cafeteria. She made two cups of coffee, and I flipped through the book, saying, "Mr. Navan is not pretty, but he is... really special, and he will never forget it at first sight." Luo Lian said: "You mention him all day, there must be something wrong with you." I said, "What's wrong? I'm not going to fall in love with him." "It's useless to fall in love with him. He has a wife and children. He's such a nice person. Think about it and forget about him."

I glanced at Luo Lian. I'm not going to fall in love with Mr. Navean, and I'm not writing novels. But he is a good professor. When I saw him in the cafeteria last year, I admired him, and suddenly asked him, "Are you a doctor?" He laughed, and he said, "I'm just a master." I actually still had the guts to ask: "Why aren't you a doctor?" There are people like me in the world, and professors must be forced to become doctors. He said: "Doing a doctorate is only limited to a very small scope. I don't like it very much. I have read several master's degrees, and I am still studying."

My eyes widened, "Really?" Luo Lian winked at me, so I stopped asking. Later Luo Lian said: "He is always a professor, why do you keep asking such inexplicable things?" I just got scared, and when I saw him later, I smiled from a distance, and then disappeared without a trace.Over the past year, I have spared no effort in studying those science subjects. Everyone else has read them. I am the only one who doesn’t know anything. The result is also very good.Of the five questions, I answered two from Mr. Navan, his "Contributions of Infrared Rays to Human Beings" and "Basic Lectures on Atomic Structure".Probably a good answer.

When Luo Lian saw him later, the first thing she did was to ask him: "Did Qiao Chen do well in the exam?" Mr. Navan said: "Very well! This child was so scared before." Miss B also asked: "How is the other Chinese girl?" Mr. Davies, who taught accounting, had fought in Hong Kong for several years and liked the Chinese very much. He also asked Luo Lian when he started school, "How is Qiao Chen? Have you seen her?" Luo Lian rolled her eyes, "Of course I have, she lives with me now." When she came back, Luo Lian complained a lot. She said: "I'm Chinese too, why don't they ask me what's wrong? Hey! What's the good of you?"

I beamed, "I'm dull, I can't do without them, and I'm obedient." "I can't bear it." Luo Lian said. I was doing my homework silently. I like going to class and that's enough. The next day, Luo Lian was late from school, and I walked home alone. When I left the school gate, I saw Mr. Navan approaching him. He was six feet one inch tall, with curly hair and thick eyebrows. The face had an intimidating expression.I hesitated for a while, smiled, bowed my head and left.His face turned red inexplicably. Teacher Nafan came back from the library with a pile of books under his arm?He is so generous, kind, educated, knowledgeable, in a good mood, and personable. He wears such an old-fashioned suit and ordinary leather shoes. He is not dressed up at all, but his posture is surprisingly good.

No wonder people say: The most dangerous thing is to let the husband teach women's college.At the age of college, most of them are lawless, and they become dangerous even if they are not dangerous.In the past year, most of the students have found their partners, except for me, I have no boyfriend or lover. Luo Lian has a boyfriend who is from Austria. She is very active. She writes a letter every day and says that she will go to see the snow for Christmas.I think Europeans are nothing more than that. If you want to travel to the East for free, it is better to marry an Oriental wife or a husband from the East.Europe is so cold, what's wrong with enjoying the warmth of the tropics?The students who study here are not too bad at home, and they just like this.In my opinion, unless Chinese girls are particularly beautiful, they don't have to mix with foreigners, and they won't get any benefits.

There are good foreigners too, like Mr. Navein, I think there is no problem with his personality.I like scientists. He didn't teach us for the first three months of the term until after Christmas. At the beginning of the semester, all the professors were sitting on the stage, but he was not there, so I asked everywhere, "Is Mr. Navan here?" They all reassured me that Mr. Navean was going to be vice-principal soon and he couldn't leave. But with so many teachers, I am the least familiar with him. Resting in the cafeteria, he came to buy coffee and lined up among the students, comparing them all.

He smiled slightly, he was as stable as a mountain, he was so reliable, any woman who looked at him would think: marrying him would mean that she would not have to worry about anything anymore. The classmate said, "Look, that's your Mr. Navean." I smile. What they mean is, that's your beloved professor. Our school is small, and the total number of students does not exceed one thousand. Everyone knows everyone. This is the advantage of a small university, so every professor knows me. They asked me, "Did you go home last year?" Then they asked, "Will you go back this year?" I always honestly said one thing and another. I don't understand their humor very well, and I am easily shocked and believe it. They appreciate their innocence. laugh. The teachers know me well.If they wanted to find me, they would go to the library, and I would sit there anyway, no matter what books I read, I would sit there. Last year, the students went on strike and I was the only one who went to school.The teacher was elated when he saw me.I sat in the library and read my notes. Mr. Gawker came, saw me, approached me, shook hands, and smiled: "Ah, Joe, how good you are, sitting by the heater, are you studying, aren't you cold?" I smile.Crazy, he treats me like a three-year-old?From this we can see that the professor's requirements are so low that it is unbelievable. Sometimes Teacher Navan also reads the newspaper or prints handouts. He is always busy, and I watch him from behind the bookshelves.I am very sure in my heart, even if there is something, I can probably ask him for help. He kept saying last year: "You know where I am, please come to me if you have any problems." He doesn't call me "Joe," he doesn't call me by my first name.The other professors called me all the time.He also doesn't roll names, but the lecture room is always full for his classes, and he doesn't treat us like children. It is recently stipulated that any student who attends less than 75% of the class times is not allowed to take the exam.He didn't care, he felt that students should have self-discipline, roll call was useless, no matter how fiercely they were called, those truant students would still play truant. But last year I didn't look for him.He explained everything so clearly, what else is there to ask? When Professor Navan talked to the students, he always turned his face sideways. At first I didn't quite understand this gesture, but later I realized that he was deaf in the right ear.When he was in college, he played American football, was kicked on the head by his peers, passed out on the grass, went to the hospital, and came out deaf in one ear. Luo Lian sighed: "It's really amazing, it even has flaws and beauty." I listened with gusto, he graduated from the University of Nottingham, where Robin Hood haunts.Although he is also a scientist, he does not have the unfathomable depths of MIT and CIT. He is not aloof. He has the kind of nobility that goes deep into the people. I like him. In the last year of Luo Lian's study, there were naturally more jokes. She said to me: "Do you know Miss Cowley? She has a class every Thursday, but everyone has so much fun on Wednesday, how can they get up on Thursday? There are only four people in a class of 14, and she waited for a while." Zhong didn’t see the fifth figure, so he rushed down to report to the principal, but as soon as he left, six more came, making her so angry! Hahaha.” I don't think there's anything funny about it, it's kind of cruel.According to Luo Lian, it is impossible not to be cruel when living in a foreign country.I don't think so, at least I don't, and I'm doing fine. Luo Lian said: "You are an exception. When you frown, the teachers and classmates give in to you. I don't know why." I haven't frowned for anyone, I just remember crying when something went wrong last year, and I cried so much. This year I squeezed and squeezed, but I couldn't squeeze out any tears. The big thing will be pushed tomorrow. Besides, no matter how much homework there is, it is still possible to do everything slowly, but it is really too much, and it is hard work. Instead of resting on weekends, it becomes even more busy. When I got up, I didn't dare to snooze, needless to say that kind of cooking method, but I was still very happy in my heart, and I couldn't explain why. Sometimes I asked Luo Lian: "Guess I'm promoted to the third year, can I bear it? There are so many homework." "People are human, and you are also human," she said. "How can you do it? At most they spend an hour, and we spend two hours. Usually it is taught by the teacher." She is very confident, she walks with great energy, every step feels like a heavy weight, I always walk silently, my steps are so light, I don't know what it is like. After Christmas, Mr. Navan finally appeared, and everyone was very happy.People who study science are always more reasonable. I always have a feeling that you can’t study liberal arts. of a person.We haven't finished our studies yet, so we can't count, but looking at those who have completed their studies, we can get some points.You can't study art either. People who study art have a problem. Regardless of whether Agou or Mao first appeared as an artist, most of them became living signs in the world. Of course, not all people with a science background are like Mr. Navan, he is the exception among the exceptions.It is not necessarily a bad thing for everyone who studied literature and art, but we were lucky and happened to meet a good teacher. He had two classes a week, each one hour long, for a total of eleven weeks, and he was often ten minutes late for everyone to have a cup of tea, and everyone was grateful to him.When I was in class, I sketched a few pictures on the blackboard and simply explained a few words, and then I understood—if I understand, everyone understands, and who is more blunt than me?I'm afraid it's gone. Sometimes when I don’t understand, I raise my hand and ask questions. The classmates all laughed at me, saying that I am so old that I still look like a primary school student. Every time I ask a question, I raise my hand. When I raise my hand, they shout: "Qiao Chen is going to sue again!" Mr Navean smiled and said, "No need to raise your hand." I argued with a blushing face, "If you don't raise your hand, don't prepare for the teacher, and just interrupt, what's the point?" Before Mr. Nafan answered, the students laughed and said, "Okay, okay! The professor has become a teacher, the university has become a library, we have all become children, and we don't have to vote for elections. Why don't we hug and call mom when we go home?" They were just joking, I know I am very well-behaved, but my parents have taught me to respect teachers since I was a child, how can I be as lawless as they are?I can't change it for a while. I blushed and passed several classes in a daze. One day in the library, I bumped into Mr. Navein, and I called him, "Mr. Navein." He stopped, smiled and asked, "What's the matter?" I said, "It's okay, I'll call you." He asked in surprise, "Why?" I replied: "It should be so." He said, "What is the teacher at your house like?" "They? It's completely 'the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die', as long as the text makes it clear, it is considered to be responsible." I said: "The class division is very clear, otherwise, the students may be in bad luck. This is a middle school, and the university is unknown. It seems that it is not democratic." "Which system do you think is better?" He was very interested. "I don't know," I said honestly, "the students here are too presumptuous, I think. The middle school I went to was very good, and the teachers were kind to me, but the old British ladies were very domineering. " "I apologize on their behalf." Mr. Nafein said with a smile, "Just don't be too reserved. If you have something to say, don't hesitate." I nod. I always stutter when I talk to him. Luo Lian said, "He's ready to be your father. How old are you?" "Twenty years old." "Isn't he? He's at least thirty-eight." Luo Lian said, "He looks very young." "Not particularly young," I said, "just not gray, but he's never aged." "You don't really like him, do you?" "Where is it! Don't make such jokes, I respect the teacher very much." I said, "Everyone says he is good." "Many professors are very good, why don't you mention them?" "I mentioned it too!" "You are a person who will be hated by others in the future. You look like a model student, you never arrive late or leave early, you never miss classes in wind and rain, and when you see a professor, you say, 'It's a teacher, it's a teacher', I can't bear it. " I gave her a white look. I'm not as nasty as she described. She was talking nonsense. On Tuesday, there are experiments as usual. I don't like doing chemical experiments very much. Bottles and jars are very troublesome.Everyone put on white shirts, took handouts, and cooked this and that. My hands and feet were not very sensitive, and I was often the slowest, making my head sweat profusely. I lit the gas to cook the chemical paint in the evaporator, and Mr. Navan came over and asked me, "How is it?" I said, "Gas is a bit noisy, isn't it?" He listened carefully, "Well, yes, turn it off, and I will adjust it for you." I hesitated for a moment, listened to his words, and turned off the gas. Nafan walked back a few steps and asked a female classmate to borrow a lighter. She lit it, but it didn't light up. I leaned over to see, and he lit it again. There was a heat, a sharp pain, and it was too late to back off. I squatted down, only to hear the exclamation of my classmates. In a panic, I covered my eyes with one hand, and grabbed people with the other. Hold on tightly. The lab was in chaos. Mr Navean yelled, "Go and call an ambulance! Quick, quick!" I immediately thought: It's over, I must be blind. As soon as the pain in the eye increased, I couldn't hold on and lost consciousness. When I woke up, I still couldn't see anything.I was lying there as if I was in a car, which must have been an ambulance.Someone was washing my eyes and I still feel pain and fear. But I didn't make a sound. If I'm really blind, it's useless to scream.However, I was still afraid, so I reached out to touch it, and what I touched was the cold uniform of the female nurse.I burst into tears. God!What if you spend your whole life groping like this? I don't know if there were tears or not, but I heard a voice say, "Don't be afraid, we're at the hospital, how do you feel?" It was Mr. Navean's voice, and he was very anxious. I grabbed his hand without hesitation. "Tell me, how do you feel?" I wanted to speak, but was too frightened to say anything, only to hold his hand tightly. The nurse said, "It's not very bad. If she doesn't want to talk, don't tell her." Mr. Navan clasped my hands tightly, and I felt his hands trembling. The pain in my eyes was excruciating, and I was not in good health at ordinary times, so I passed out again. When I woke up again, I still couldn't see anything. I know it's over. How to do it?I was lying on the bed, smelling that hospital-specific smell on my nose.How to do it? I slowly supported myself, but this time there was no severe pain in front of me, probably because I was given painkillers. "Feeling better now?" It was still Mr. Navein's voice. I turned around in surprise, why is he here? With the sound of his footsteps, he came over, stood beside me, held me, and let me slowly lean on the bed. "I'm a doctor," said another voice, "what do you think?" Immediately I was so frightened that I became cold all over.What is the doctor going to say? I lay there dumbfounded. "Hey, why don't you talk? I washed your eyes for you, and washed out the coal dust and debris. The danger is not great, but you will be in the hospital for a while. You have to be obedient, you know? The left eye is better than the right eye. The eyes are more serious, but it will definitely not cause blindness, so don’t be afraid.” I nodded, let out a breath, my palms were sweaty. "Luck is good, the explosive force is not strong, and it will be dangerous if it is stronger." I still nodded, but my heart was fixed.It was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything. I touched my head, everything was fine, I smiled. "Silly boy," said the doctor, "I'll come and see you tomorrow morning." I heard the sound of him walking away. Mr. Navein asked: "Is it better?" I quickly asked: "What time is it? Why don't you go back?" "eight pm." "I'm very hungry," I said. "I'll order something for you to eat." "No, Mr. Navan, you go back. If I need anything, I will call the nurse." "But the doctor said—" "Hey. The doctor said it's okay, please go back." Mr Navein said, "I'm so sorry, Joe, this accident was my fault." I was stunned, how could it be his fault?I never thought about it.The gas pipe exploded slightly. I was not careful when I probed my brain. What does it matter to him?No wonder he accompanied me until now, I quickly shook my hand and said, "Mr. Navan, please don't get me wrong, this has nothing to do with you at all, it's my fault—" He smiled wryly, "I shouldn't risk a little—" I also interrupted him, "I'll be fine. It's really not your fault. There are always accidents in the laboratory. I'll just lie down for a few days. My classmates will naturally lend me their notes. Don't worry." In fact, I don't know how many days I will have to lie down, I'm afraid it will be at least ten days or eight days, but in order to comfort him, I can only speak in a positive way. He doesn't ring. He's a good guy, and he must have been worried to death about me. I was about to say something, comforted him, thought for a long time, but couldn't think of words, he was so much older than me, and he was my professor again. I had no choice but to say: "It's all my fault, I'm so troublesome." He added: "I was not careful, it was my fault." The nurse brought in the food, and I groped.so hungry. Mr. Navan put the milk glass in my hand, held the sandwich, and handed it to my mouth. I blushed and took it and ate it. He asked me, "Should I inform my family?" I shook my head: "Don't, they will be anxious." "Are there any relatives here?" "No, not a single one. But Luo Lian is very good to me, did you inform her? She doesn't see me and I need to go back." "Ah, she came here just now, and I took her back. You haven't woken up yet." "Thank you." I said. "Joe, I'm so sorry." "Mr. Navan, please don't say that. What does it have to do with you? Don't think so." I put down the food. He sighed. "Please go back, you still have class tomorrow." "I'll see you again tomorrow." "It's not necessary, I'll be fine after lying down for a few days." I said. "Goodbye, sleep well." "Goodbye, Mr. Naveen." he's gone. After I finished eating, I pushed the plate away. I lay on the hospital bed and thought about it. As long as I don't get blind, other things can be discussed.The missing courses will be made up sooner or later, but there is no way to hurry up.It's just so quiet, lying alone in the hospital without any relatives.Luo Lian couldn't take care of herself, and the foreign students were very reckless.I wanted to cry, so I did. Halfway through crying, I heard a sigh, "Who?" I turned over and asked. no answer. I'm the one who got suspicious, since there are ghosts and I can't see them anyway. I turned to the ceiling, counting the letters one by one, trying to fall asleep quickly. Probably really tired, and finally fell asleep. When I woke up the next day, I asked the nurse, "What time is it?" "Nine o'clock," she said. "Breakfast is here." "I'm going to wash my face and brush my teeth." "Don't move around, just gargle with salt water, and I'll wipe your face for you later." "My hands and feet are fine!" The nurse said: "Don't move, be obedient." She was very gentle. I asked, "Excuse me, how long do I have to lie down?" "It won't be long, I just need to rest fully. Now that the gauze is removed, you can see things, but you will have problems with your eyesight in the future, so take a longer rest, understand?" A big stone in my heart fell completely.I ate breakfast and thought it was a good opportunity to rest.The mood was completely different from last night. After eating, the nurse asked me to rinse my mouth, which I did.She wiped my face.I laughed and said, "I want to take a shower, what should I do?" She said, "I'll wash it for you." She told me that there were four beds in the ward, and I was the only one lying there because no one was there. "Are you afraid?" she asked. "Not afraid." "Then I'm leaving. Ring the bell if you need anything. The bell is here." "thanks." I was lying on the bed alone, humming a song.After singing one after another, I was a little tired.Still can't see anything.I touched the gauze slowly with my hand, I really wanted to see the light.It's lucky, such a dangerous thing, but still preserved the eyes, just a little pain. "Don't touch the gauze." I was startled. "Mr. Navean!" I cried. "When did you come?" He said gently: "Listen to the doctor, why are you so naughty?" I smiled embarrassedly and put my hand down. He said, "By the way, today is much better?" "Ok." The doctor's footsteps came over, "Ge Ge Ge Ge".I was thinking, what does he look like?He asked the nurse to close the curtains and remove my gauze. I was a little nervous, but thinking that Mr. Navan was here, if I was nervous, I might worry him, so I tried to relax as much as possible. The gauze was removed, and the doctor told me not to open my eyes, but a lot of medicine and ointment was injected into it, which was very painful. I resisted it, and there was a little red light above the eyelid. I knew I was not blind, but the left eyelid was very painful. I stretched out my hand to touch it, and the doctor immediately shouted: "Dirty hands, take it away!" I asked in surprise: "What is that?" The doctor said kindly: "A few stitches, it's all right." I didn't know at all, since the stitches were stitched, there was also blood?It must be terrible!I quickly asked, "Will there be any scars?" "No, girls really love beauty. First heal your eyes, and then look at your scars, so that you can be discharged from the hospital as if nothing happened, okay?" The doctor was very humorous. I was uneasy.It seemed serious, and they all comforted me and didn't worry me.I didn't care so much anymore, and asked again: "I'm not blind, am I?" "Son, you don't believe me?" the doctor asked. "Thank you," I said, "I believe you, but please tell me." "You won't be blind, you have to be obedient," said the doctor. I don't ring. he's gone.
