蘇老師的戀愛課_第2章 冰與火的碰撞
第2章 冰與火的碰撞
第二天下午兩點五十，蘇瑤站在物理系辦公樓下深吸一口氣。她今天特意穿了件米白色職業套裝，長髮束成利落的高馬尾，臉上帶著精緻的淡妝，既不失專業感，又透著幾分女性的柔美。手裡緊緊攥著那支紅色鋼筆，筆身的裂痕硌得指尖微微發麻。
“蘇老師，這邊請。”陸承宇的助教小林熱情地迎上來，領著她穿過長長的走廊。走廊兩側的牆壁上掛滿了物理公式和科學家畫像，空氣裡瀰漫著淡淡的消毒水味。蘇瑤忍不住加快了腳步，高跟鞋敲擊地面的聲音在安靜的走廊裡格外刺耳。
陸承宇的辦公室門虛掩著，蘇瑤輕輕敲了敲門。“請進。”冰冷的聲音從裡面傳來。她推開門，看到陸承宇正坐在寬大的辦公桌後看檔案，鼻樑上架著金絲眼鏡，神情專注。辦公室簡潔得近乎單調，除了一個巨大的書櫃和一張辦公桌，幾乎沒有任何裝飾。唯一的色彩是窗臺上那盆小小的仙人掌，倔強地立在角落裡。
“陸教授，我來了。”蘇瑤在他對面的椅子上坐下，將教案放在桌上。
陸承宇抬起頭，目光在她身上停留了兩秒，又迅速移開。“關於合開選修課的事，我已經擬了個初步方案。”他遞給她一份檔案，“課程名稱《科學與文學的跨界融合》，每週三下午兩節課，主要面向大二學生。”
蘇瑤接過檔案，紅色鋼筆在指尖轉了個圈。“我覺得課程名稱可以更吸引人一點，比如《當公式遇上詩句》？”她抬頭看向陸承宇，眼裡閃爍著期待的光芒。
陸承宇皺眉：“學術課程重在內容，不是譁眾取寵。”他的語氣帶著一絲不易察覺的不耐煩，“還有，我認為課程應該以科學為主，文學為輔。”
“為什麼不能平等對待？”蘇瑤不服氣地反駁，“文學和科學同樣重要，就像人的左右腦，缺一不可。”她拿起鋼筆，在檔案上圈出“科學為主”幾個字，“我覺得應該改成“科學與文學的雙向對話”。”
兩人你一言我一語地爭論起來，從課程設定吵到教學方法，從教材選用爭到考核方式。蘇瑤越說越激動，臉頰泛起紅暈，而陸承宇始終面無表情，只有緊握的拳頭暴露了他的情緒。
“夠了！”陸承宇突然站起身，檔案被他掃落在地。“如果你只想搞噱頭，那這門課沒必要開了。”他的聲音冰冷刺骨，眼神里滿是厭惡。
蘇瑤也猛地站起來，胸口劇烈起伏。“陸承宇，你除了會擺臭臉還會什麼？”她抓起桌上的紅色鋼筆，筆帽不小心飛了出去，在空中劃出一道弧線，正好落在陸承宇的白襯衫上，留下一個小小的紅點，像雪地裡濺上的一滴血。
時間彷彿靜止了。陸承宇低頭看著襯衫上的紅點，又抬頭看向蘇瑤，眼神複雜。蘇瑤也意識到自己失態，臉頰燙得能煮熟雞蛋。“對不起，我不是故意的...”她慌忙道歉，伸手想去幫他擦掉。
“不用了。”陸承宇後退一步，避開她的手，“今天就到這裡吧，改天再談。”
蘇瑤撿起地上的檔案和筆帽，逃也似的離開了辦公室。走到走廊盡頭，她忍不住回頭看了一眼，發現陸承宇正站在窗前看著她，眼神里沒有了剛才的冰冷，多了幾分她看不懂的情緒。
回到家，蘇瑤把自己摔在沙發上，鬱悶地拿起抱枕捶打。“氣死我了！那個大冰山！”她掏出手機，想跟林薇吐槽，卻看到顧澤言發來的微信：“明天有空嗎？想請你吃飯，就當是老同學敘敘舊。”
蘇瑤的心一下子軟了。她回覆：“好啊，明天晚上七點，老地方見。”
第二天的現代漢語課上，蘇瑤有些心不在焉。講到《詩經》裡的愛情詩句時，她的思緒卻飄到了顧澤言身上。“關關雎鳩，在河之洲。窈窕淑女，君子好逑。”她念著詩句，眼前卻浮現出大學時顧澤言打籃球的樣子，汗水浸溼的白襯衫緊緊貼在身上，笑容耀眼。
“蘇老師，您沒事吧？”前排的女生小聲問道，“您的臉色不太好。”
蘇瑤回過神，勉強笑了笑：“沒事，可能昨晚沒睡好。”她拿起紅色鋼筆，發現筆帽上的裂痕似乎更明顯了，像一道無法癒合的傷疤。
晚上七點，蘇瑤準時來到餐廳。顧澤言已經等在那裡，手裡捧著一束白玫瑰。“送給你。”他把花遞給她，笑容溫柔，“希望你喜歡。”
蘇瑤接過花，臉頰微紅。“謝謝。”她低頭聞了聞花香，清新的香氣讓她的心情好了許多。
dinner was very pleasant. Gu Zeyan told her about his work experience over the years, and Su Yao shared interesting stories about teaching. When talking about Lu Chengyu, Su Yao couldn“t help but complain: “That person is really annoying, he”s as cold as a block of ice, and he“s very stubborn.”
Gu Zeyan listened quietly, and when she finished, he smiled and said: “Maybe he”s just not good at expressing himself. Some people are like that, they look cold on the outside but are actually very enthusiastic on the inside.” He paused, then looked into Su Yao“s eyes seriously, “Just like me, I”ve always liked you, but I never dared to say it.”
Su Yao was stunned, her heart beating like a drum. She looked at Gu Zeyan“s sincere eyes, and was about to speak when her phone rang. It was a call from the school office: “Teacher Su, there”s a problem with the course application. Professor Lu said he won“t cooperate with you. You need to come to school immediately.”
Su Yao”s good mood disappeared instantly. She stood up in a hurry: “I“m sorry, senior, I have to go to school.”
Gu Zeyan looked a little disappointed, but still smiled and said: “It”s okay, go quickly. We“ll talk another day.”
At the school office, Lu Chengyu was already there. He was talking to the director, with a serious expression. When he saw Su Yao, his eyes turned cold again. “I think it”s better to open the courses separately.” He said without looking at Su Yao.
Su Yao was angry: “陸承宇，你太過分了！” She took out the red pen and pointed it at him, “你是不是故意針對我？”
Lu Chengyu finally looked at her, his eyes deep: “I just don“t want the course to become a farce.” He turned and left, leaving Su Yao standing there, tears of anger swirling in her eyes.
She looked down at the red pen in her hand, and the crack on the pen cap seemed to be laughing at her. What should she do now?
