When he arrived at the door, Shen Dapeng stopped and couldn't help but asked curiously, "Are you the daughter of Dean Qu?"
"Um!"
Qu Yina nodded.
"You came back from abroad?"
"Um!"
Qu Yina nodded again, with a smile on her face, "Did my dad tell you?"
"No, I guess!"
Shen Dapeng looked at Qu Yina closely. There was no makeup on her pink and white cheeks, and she did not look cramped because of her slightly revealing clothes. She was very generous and decent.
And judging from her age, she must be a few years older than me, but she still has innocence in her eyes. This must be because she has read too much and has become somewhat out of touch with society, so she has a innocence that is inconsistent with her age.
"Let me meet you formally. My name is Qu Yina. I am your senior. I also graduated from the School of Environment in our school. I am now studying for a master's degree in environmental science and management at Santa Barbara College in the United States!"
"Hello!"
Shen Dapeng didn't need to introduce himself, he simply shook hands with Qu Yina, and he didn't know what Qu Yina was doing to come to him, and he didn't know what to say to the girl who suddenly appeared.
"Haha, don't be nervous, I'm not a female devil!"
Seeing that Shen Dapeng didn't talk much, Qu Yina thought that Shen Dapeng was too nervous when he saw her, so she smiled to ease the embarrassment.
"It's just that a few days after I came back, I heard my dad mention you again and again. I was curious about how good of a person you are to make my dad full of praise. My dad invited you to dinner at home before, but you didn't go, so
I came to you uninvited and took the initiative, but I am a little disappointed!"
"disappointment?"
Shen Dapeng blinked innocently. The two of them had only exchanged less than five sentences. How could there be any disappointment?
"You are not as handsome as the photo in the newspaper!"
As soon as Qu Yina said this, Shen Dapeng became even more helpless. What is this? He talked about other people's looks when they met for the first time, still with a critical attitude.
"I am indeed average, but my senior sister is sexy and fashionable. If you don't introduce yourself, it will be difficult to associate a beautiful woman like you with a female master's degree in environmental management. If you say you graduated from the Film and Television School, I would
Want to believe it!”
Shen Dapeng's gentlemanly attitude made Qu Yina a little surprised. She stared at Shen Dapeng and suddenly smiled, "My dad said you are different. Sure enough, you are a master in love, right?"
"Unfortunately, it's not!"
Shen Dapeng spread his hands pretending to be aggrieved, "But it is also an honor for me to be praised by a beautiful senior!"
"loquacious!"
Qu Yina pointed to a chair under the shade of a tree not far away, "Sit down and chat? I'm very interested in your idea of resource recycling, which is somewhat similar to some of my ideas."
"oh!"
Only then did Shen Dapeng understand Qu Yina's purpose of looking for him, and most of his doubts disappeared.
The wooden chair under the tree had been exposed to the wind and sun, and the original vermilion paint had faded away, and some exposed wood could be seen on it. Qu Yina didn't care whether it was clean or not, and sat down with her legs tightly together.
Warm sunshine fell from the gaps in the densely connected leaves above the head, and it happened to shine on the corner of Qu Yina's eyes. She narrowed her eyes slightly, frowned, and covered her face with her green and white jade hands, but she was not unhappy at all.
After adapting to the light, the corners of his mouth twitched upward, as if enjoying the caress of the warm sun.
"How wonderful would it be if the sky could always be this blue and the clouds could always be this white?"
Qu Yina's unintentional sigh pierced Shen Dapeng's heart. Isn't this exactly what he was thinking?
"Did you know? When I was studying in the United States, I went with my tutor to a city called Bakersfield in California. The education, economy, industry, and welfare there were all very developed, but I rarely saw it from the eyes of the locals.
Happy faces are all faces that are worried about the future, do you know why?"
"I seem to have heard that it is a city that exploits oil and natural gas, and is also an industrial city for chemicals and metal processing. However, cities like this have more or less air pollution. I think the locals are worried about the future because of environmental pollution.
Bar?"
In the past life, the smog was gradually getting worse, but there were still a few shameless "bricks" who kept saying that the environment was very good, and even cited many cities around the world as examples to prove that the air pollution in cities was not serious. One of them is a very famous
, that’s Bakersfield.
"You do know!"
Qu Yina smiled happily, but she felt a little disappointed for a moment, "The first city in the world to be affected by smog, London, a smog incident, the death toll was conservatively more than 4,000, and in the worst time, it was more than 10,000.
People die from respiratory diseases affected by smog.”
"A city has spent countless manpower, financial resources, and hard work for fifty years, but it has not been able to completely improve the environment. It has only maintained the most basic requirements for human survival. Our industrial development is following the path of developed countries.
As the country follows its old path, do you think our environment will follow in their footsteps?"
Shen Dapeng has never experienced the horrific smog incident in London, but he has personally experienced the smog weather in the capital city in his previous life, which lasted for a few days or lasted for weeks. Those days when the sky was invisible and groggy were comparable to purgatory.
Everyone must wear seven or eight layers of masks when going out, and they don’t dare to breathe.
"maybe!"
Shen Dapeng didn't want to offend Qu Yina, so he could only deal with it casually, but he knew that the day when the smog would come was not far away.
I remember there was a joke about smog at that time. Person A said, brother, let’s go sell masks on the street. We will definitely make a lot of money! Person B said, brother, don’t make trouble. Who can see that we are selling masks?
It was just a simple joke, but it proved how bad the air quality was at that time. Looking at the pure environment now, it is simply a paradise or a purgatory.
"maybe?"
Qu Yina repeated Shen Dapeng's words in a questioning tone, and shook her head with a wry smile. She had studied abroad for many years and already knew how it would end, but she did not want to admit it herself.
"I have a high school classmate who went to central Africa as a volunteer after graduating from Normal University. When she was teaching African children there, the word 'white snow' was mentioned. She could explain 'white', but she couldn't explain 'snow'.
Because the children there, and even the adults who have never been abroad, have never seen what snow looks like."
"I don't want future children in our country to be unable to understand the blue sky, white clouds, green mountains, and green water. What about you?"
Qu Yina stared at Shen Dapeng blankly, with a little helplessness and a little bitterness in her eyes, but she still had unlimited expectations and imagination.
"hope so!"
Shen Dapeng really wants to make a contribution to the future environment, but he also knows that many things cannot be easily changed.
