As soon as the summer vacation is over, the school is empty like a ghost town, and the cafeteria is no longer open, except for a small store, which spreads half of its façade as if it were asleep in the noisy hot summer.

Dai Xiaoqing bought a few packets of instant noodles, a bag of bread, a bag of biscuits, and a pot of mineral water. As soon as she walked out of the door, the heat wave pushed people backwards, she simply went back to the commissary and asked for an ice cream to sit on a small plastic stool in the corner of the house and suck it, the ice cream probably stayed for a long time, no one patronized, and lost the original water chestnut after a long time of squeezing, whatever, anyway, you can still ice the hot and burning stomach.

She stared at the hot white concrete road, and if she went home too, she should now sit in her room and enjoy the coolness. However, when the ghost wanted to go back to that home, she would never have the slightest thought of going home when she thought of her mother's flattering face, and her mother's man's greasy eyes sliding over her youthful and full body. The stinky boy who snorted at his mother should take the college entrance examination next year, and his mother may suffer less.

The shadows of the trees cast on the incandescent concrete road like a huge net, netting the endless noise of cicadas. There was not a trace of wind on the road, not even a single figure was seen, and the fat aunt in the commissary, wearing a sleeveless shirt of floral cotton silk and blowing a creaking electric fan, sat on a shabby rattan chair like a chicken pecking rice.

After eating the ice cream, there was no reason to stay here, Dai Xiaoqing picked up the plastic bag full of plastic and returned to the empty bedroom, and bumped into a person who entered the commissary.

"I'm sorry~" Dai Xiaoqing looked at people unexpectedly: "Teacher Xu!"

"Ah, Dai Xiaoqing, why don't you go home after the holidays?" The middle-aged man who was called Teacher Xu was also surprised. He habitually lifted his glasses, and sweat was already on the back of a short-sleeved white shirt.

"Why does the teacher come to school after the holidays?" Dai Xiaoqing used a rhetorical question to avoid the question that Teacher Xu was also her homeroom teacher, and she really didn't know how to answer it in order to be thoughtful.

"Come to the office and look for information. Teacher Xu looked at the bag in Dai Xiaoqing's hand and asked, "If you don't go home, just eat these?"

"No way, the cafeteria is closed. Dai Xiaoqing smiled shyly like a child who had been seen through.

"Uh, do you want to do a work-study?" In Mr. Xu's opinion, if you don't go home during such a long vacation, it must be because your family situation is not good, and you are reluctant to pay for the journey. Among his students are many such children.

"Huh?"

"That's right, your wife is a designer in a clothing company, and she has been a little busy lately, yelling every day to find someone to help, if you are interested, you can come to help, at least take care of the food, at least don't eat instant noodles. Teacher Xu tried to speak more easily, for fear of hurting the students' self-esteem.

I heard that it was for the costume designer to be an assistant, Dai Xiaoqing was full of joy and agreed.

Walking to the fork in the road, Dai Xiaoqing said goodbye to Mr. Xu, and Mr. Xu asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go back to the dormitory. ”

"Aren't you going to work and study?"

"Go now?" Dai Xiaoqing asked, holding up the bag.

"You go back to school at night and bring it back, aren't you too hot to run around on this hot day?"

In this way, Dai Xiaoqing met his wife who was a fashion designer. My wife is a middle-aged woman who is slightly blessed but quite young, with snow-white skin, a rich posture, and a smile on her tight and full face, which can be said to be quite well-maintained.

I heard that it was an assistant I found for myself, and my wife took Dai Xiaoqing's hand so happily that she couldn't close her mouth, looked left and right, and made Dai Xiaoqing's face crimson and embarrassed.

"I used to learn to draw, a classmate of your teacher Xu, and then changed my career to design. I just like people who draw and are sensitive to color. ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Dai Xiaoqing is shy and decent.

"Mother Liu, Mother Liu, hurry up and cut the watermelon, on a hot day, don't heat the little girl. ”

After a while, a person named "Mama Liu" came out with a watermelon, and when he saw Dai Xiaoqing, he was surprised, "Ouch Tianle, how can there be such a good-looking girl." ”

Dai Xiaoqing was frequently surprised from the moment she entered the door, she didn't expect that the plainly dressed Teacher Xu's home would be so spacious and big. She originally expected it to be a simple small house with double income, but what she didn't expect was that the family also invited an aunt, and she also expected that when she came here, she must have to help with housework, Teacher Xu said that the work of the master is flexible, and the time spent working at home is more, and she imagined that the master who was overwhelmed by a bunch of work and housework was just a mediocre middle-aged woman with a little seniority......

Everything was far from what she had expected.

The more my wife looked at it, the more she liked Dai Xiaoqing, and asked Dai Xiaoqing to stand up and turn around, which was a bit like the queen mother choosing a daughter-in-law.

"It's better looking than our company's models, well~ this figure is also a natural hanger. The master smacked her lips in satisfaction, put down the watermelon in her hand, pulled Dai Xiaoqing and left.

Dai Xiaoqing was confused and could only follow.

"Come with me to the company, and you will be my exclusive model in the future. will give you a salary. "My wife's face was full of spring breeze and gave her generosity.

As soon as she walked into the door of the grand decoration, Dai Xiaoqing found that everyone greeted her wife, and the kind of warmth far exceeded the respect that a designer should have.

The lady has an elegant posture and smiles back at everyone, but it gives people a feeling of being thousands of miles away.

Walking into the master's office is also surprisingly big, not ordinarily large, it is neatly stacked with all kinds of fabrics, sewing equipment, and small objects for decoration.

Someone brought in tea, and my wife ordered, "Call Teacher Zhou for me." ”

A tall woman with a tall figure knocked on the door and came in, "Xiao Zhou, look, can this girl pick the main beam of this season?"

Xiao Zhou looked Dai Xiaoqing up and down, making people feel that in her eyes they were specifically finding fault and making a conclusion for you in a very short time, after a moment of silence, she said: "The conditions are indeed very good, but ~uh~ The height conditions are a little worse, compared with the girls of our model team~"

"Okay, I know that, so that she will stand out more, let those girls make green leaves for her, that's it, you have to train her in a short time. The master interrupted Xiao Zhou's words impatiently, "Oh, I forgot to say, she is still a student, and she will not be free when school starts, so you hurry up." ”

"Okay, Mr. Xu. Xiao Zhou's face was clearly helpless.

Dai Xiaoqing only knew when she heard Xiao Zhou call her wife Teacher Xu, it turned out that her wife was also surnamed Xu, and she looked at her mother with a question, and her mother smiled knowingly: "Yes, I am not only a companion with your Teacher Xu, but also have the same surname, so our son doesn't have to worry about whose surname he has anymore, hahaha......"

This is a woman with a strong desire for dominance and ambition, or to put it mildly, a strong sense of ambition. The short period of contact made Dai Xiaoqing come to such a conclusion. She reminded herself to be careful not to annoy her unconsciously.

This afternoon, she was like entering a kaleidoscope world, she knew that the employment after studying art was not as easy as other majors, so from the moment she entered the golden gate, she made up her mind to firmly cling to the big tree of her mother.

The rest of the day was a daily practice of walking. The wife asked her to live in her own house, and anyway, her son was still studying economic management abroad, and the room was empty.

Sometimes at night, his wife will let her try on the clothes that are ready to be typed, and Dai Xiaoqing will occasionally give some small suggestions, but she is very cautious, as if it is not what she thought of at all, but what her wife has always thought of, but after a while, her brain made a small mistake and fell into her original idea.

When she was free, her wife would also talk to her about family affairs, she only said that she had no father since she was a child, and her mother raised her alone. provoked the master and wife to have a little more pity: "Poor little girl, don't suffer less, everything will be fine in the future, I believe in the master." ”

"Hmm. Dai Xiaoqing nodded vigorously, and found the simplicity of the organization with a face.

Sometimes, my wife also gossiped, "Do you have a boyfriend?" When she got the firm denial she wanted, she looked distrustful, such a beautiful girl is unreasonable.

Dai Xiaoqing will be as shy as a little girl who doesn't know the accident at this time: "It's true, someone is chasing me, but I just want to study hard now, find a good job in the future, and let my mother live a good life, that's what I think." ”

Dai Xiaoqing's "filial piety", which is half true and false, finally reassured his wife. Dai Xiaoqing knows the mind of the master, the mother will from time to time in front of her to pluck how good her son is, she has seen the photo of the master's son, in her room, a boy with a pair of dark eyes, smiling to show a small, neat, white teeth. She didn't feel anything about the little hairy child, it was still early, so she pretended to be stupid and dealt with it first.

Dai Xiaoqing knows that her height condition is not good enough, all because of the face of her mother, the girls in the model team are very repulsive to this kind of airborne second-class, Dai Xiaoqing does not take them to heart, one day she will let them lower their ignorant and arrogant heads towards her.

Every day she practiced until late before going home, today she practiced too much, so that soon she would miss the last subway, she grabbed her clothes and ran to the elevator, there was an elevator going down her floor, it was said to be a special elevator for the directors, she didn't think so much, and pressed the elevator continuously.

When the elevator door opened, she was panting and a man in a particular suit inside looked at each other for a few seconds, she didn't know that the man in front of her would be the one who would change the fate of her life.

"Are you leaving work so late? Come on in. The man beckoned to her, smiling so hard that he showed his small, neat, white teeth, Dai Xiaoqing had a sense of déjà vu, she bowed slightly and said, "Thank you!"

"Which department are you?" The man had a gentle and considerate tone, and his comforting-sounding voice made Dai Xiaoqing's heart move.

Dai Xiaoqing knew that the person who was dressed so exquisitely and took the special elevator of the board of directors must be extraordinary, she pretended to be ignorant of a newborn calf and said, "I just came to work, and it was from the model team." ”

The answer "model?" apparently surprised the man a little.

"Yes, it was Teacher Xu who asked me to come, she probably wanted a vision that blended in with the public, rather than being arrogant and alienated. She learned to be called by others, Mrs. Xu.

The man nodded in understanding.

Dai Xiaoqing turned to the man, raised her head slightly, and showed him a charming smile that she was familiar with, it was a smile that was first implied in her clear eyes, and then slowly appeared on her sexy lips, "Do you think my conditions are not qualified?"

The man's black eyes shone brightly, and he tried to restrain his enthusiasm, and replied with a smile: "Teacher Xu's vision is undoubted. The man's smile was full of emotion, Dai Xiaoqing's body trembled, her lips opened slightly, and she felt a sweet and painful taste.

When she got home, Teacher Xu and the others had already fallen asleep, she washed up and went to bed lightly. I repeatedly thought of the man's appearance in my mind, as soft as drunk, tossing and turning all night.

When she woke up in the morning, she saw the boy in the frame on the tabletop smiling at her with small, neat, white teeth. "Ah, that's right!" Dai Xiaoqing slapped her head and suddenly realized, she understood why she had a sense of déjà vu when she saw the man in the elevator, their teeth, their smiles were so similar, and after a few more glances, they seemed to be somewhat similar.

Mr. Xu's family entered the elderly life mode early, went to bed early and got up early, and Dai Xiaoqing got up and they had already finished breakfast.

"Teacher's morning!

"It's not early! I'm going to go to the company today, you can take my car later, hurry up, I practiced last night and came back late, right?"

The porridge in Dai Xiaoqing's mouth was not completely swallowed, and he put another chopstick dish in his mouth, and hurriedly made a vague "um" sound.

"What a sensible child. Mrs. said with satisfaction.

No one noticed Dai Xiaoqing sitting in the corner of the dressing room, her stomach hurt terribly on the first day of every time her aunt came, she sat here and breathed slowly, she didn't want anyone to comfort and pity her, in fact, it was impossible for anyone to comfort her.

"Look at her steps, walking like a duck on the shelf, I really don't know what Mr. Xu thinks, engage such a layman to stir up. ”

"Eh, you don't know when I see her vixen's face, I get angry, how much sweat we have shed to get to where we are today, as soon as she comes, she will go to the home field......"

"Hahaha, don't worry, we'll pick up jokes and watch a good show when the time comes......"

"You said that if Teacher Xu is a man, I can still understand that she is charming, how can women also be fascinated?"

"Didn't you hear that there is a kind of bisexual person? ”

"Hahahahaha......" The laughter that erupted in the locker room was about to tear off the roof.

Dai Xiaoqing's chest rose with nameless anger, the menstrual pain just now disappeared, she felt the blood vessels in her temples expanding, and her heart was beating rapidly, the hatred aroused in her heart by these vicious sarcasm was better than the tiger under her cubs being slaughtered, her beautiful eyes became darker and brighter because of anger, but she did not have a seizure.

At night, she still practiced alone until late, and as soon as the alarm clock rang, she quickly grabbed her clothes and ran to the elevator, and the dark elevator room was instantly lit up because of her arrival. She stood there waiting, waiting for the elevator to flash a heart-pounding number.

After waiting for a long, long time, the elevator has been quiet without any changes that make her happy, extremely lost, she looked at the time on her mobile phone, she didn't leave, the last subway was about to leave......

As she stepped into the elevator and the door slowly closed, the elevator for the directors began to bounce down numbers......
