Chapter 21: Your Sweetheart Sits Next to You (3)

(1)

Tang said that the Chinese people have two moments of national joy every year, once for the Spring Festival and once for Christmas.

Foreigners like to wear Tang costumes during the Spring Festival every year, sit in front of the fireplace and eat turkey with red wine.

Chinese people also always wear Santa hats or elk antlers during Christmas, and drink draft beer with fat cows in hot pot restaurants where the single loops "Jingle Bells".

For example, in the Sichuan restaurant called "Xiaochuan Tang" where we are now, Santa Claus's big-headed pictorial on the glass window is smiling and staring at the words "Home-style fried dumplings with topping" next to it. The smoky-toothed boss was wearing a fake beard like a bud of rice whiskers, a Santa hat that looked a whole size smaller than his head circumference, and spoke standard native English, enthusiastically wishing the passing guests "Mai Lik Li Death Touches Death".

"Well, the food in this house must taste good!" Tang Jibei held a toothpick in his mouth and pointed to the boss's stomach propped up outside his coat. "Look, it's older than our politics teacher for seven months!"

"Anyway, we should change politics teachers next semester, right?" Qi Li asked casually, flipping through the menu.

"It doesn't matter if he changes it or not!" Tang Jibei knocked on the table and complained to Qili: "I said sister, are you Virgos so meticulous in ordering dishes? After ten minutes, you ordered a perfume fish, why didn't you use your pickiness to choose a boyfriend." ”

"Get out!" Qi Li kicked him under the table, beckoned to the service desk, and handed the ordered menu to the waiter.

Tang Jibei approached me, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Anyway, what about your boyfriend, he doesn't appreciate your birthday dinner?"

I blushed, quickly unscrewed the Coke to fill everyone, and pretended to be careless and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! He is obviously your boyfriend, and the two of you are hooking up and hanging out all day long, why do you let me carry the black pot at this time." ”

"Ouch!" Tang Jibei slumped on the back of his chair and looked at me with a wicked smile, "Don't lie about your IQ." Did I tell who your boyfriend was? How do you know he's hooked up with me? ”

I was speechless for a moment.

"Puppy love is a violation of discipline. Fang Chaomu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

Tang Jibei just took a sip of Coke in his mouth, and was shocked when he heard the words, and the Coke squirted out along his nostrils and the corners of his mouth. He didn't care about wiping it, he leaned back with a smile, patted Fang Chaomu's shoulder and breathless: "Dare to ...... Dare to ask the eldest brother, do you still need to report if your village is married now?"

Fang Chaomu took his hand away, his eyes were always cold, and then he raised his head, stared at me and said word by word: "Early love, it's a violation of discipline, don't you know?"

I thought it was another serious joke he was telling, and I was secretly holding back a smile, but when I met his serious eyes, I realized that maybe he really wanted to discuss this issue with me seriously.

"I know......" My smile froze at the corner of my mouth, and a layer of cold sweat broke out inexplicably behind my back.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing!" Shan Shan hurriedly relieved me, picked up the menu and shook it in front of Fang Chaomu's eyes, "I didn't prepare a cake today, Fang Chaomu, you go and ask the boss if he has steamed buns and candles." ”

"What do you want steamed buns and candles for?" I changed the subject.

"Instead of cake! ”

"Forget the candles, help me get a steamed bun, these two things are matched together, I always feel that the next step is to kowtow and burn incense." I smiled at Fang Chaomu, "Thank you!"

Fang Chaomu got up, pushed away the chair and walked towards the dining table, and the moment he turned around, he looked back at me and coldly dropped a sentence: "Before you really understand, I will remind you once a day." ”

The seat next to me was empty all afternoon, and every teacher who came to the class had to ask "where did you go at the same table", "why did it take so long to rehearse", "when will you come back".

I patiently answered one by one, "New Year's Day rehearsal", "I don't know", "I don't know".

It wasn't until halfway through the last chemistry class that Yu Qiuyun appeared at the door of the classroom with a tired face, Xu was too tired, and walked in directly in a daze.

The chemistry teacher squinted at him, my heart was finished, this chemistry teacher and the music teacher in charge of the New Year's Day party have never dealt with each other, I heard that last year the two people almost fought for the quota of the awards, just now she heard that the words "New Year's Day rehearsal" have been wrong, Yu Qiuyun is afraid that she is hitting the muzzle of the gun.

Sure enough, before he could walk back to his seat, the chemistry teacher slapped the table angrily and shouted "Stop!"

"Go to the back of the classroom and stand!

He was a little embarrassed and wanted to go back to his seat to get his books, but he was afraid that his recklessness would anger the teacher again, so he had to walk to the last row stupidly.

When the teacher turned around, I gently pulled out the chemistry book and notebook from his stack of textbooks, and whispered to the classmates in the back row to help me pass them on.

A moment later, the notebook was returned, with a line written on the folded blank page in the corner.

"Wait for me in the carport after school, I have something to say to you. ”

After class, Yu Qiuyun was taken directly to the office by the chemistry teacher, and before leaving the classroom, he ignored the gloating eyes that Tang Jibei kept throwing at him, and made a silent lip gesture at me.

Wait for me.

I leaned against the carport and silently counted the endless crowd, and among the girls who had just passed in front of me, there were 71 with balls on their hair. It wasn't until the 72nd girl with a ball-combed hair had gone away that Yu Qiuyun appeared in front of me panting.

"What to run, no hurry. A fine bead of sweat oozed from the tip of his nose, and I tried to find a tissue for him to wipe it off, but when I touched my pocket, I found it empty.

"It's okay!" he raised his sleeve and touched the tip of his nose with a big grin, "The chemistry teacher is too good at talking, are you in a hurry?"

I shook my head slightly, and I saw him standing at the door of the classroom with a tired face, and asked him, "But why did you rehearse so long today?"

"There were a few programs where the structure and order were disputed, so I rehearsed it twice to see the effect. "He unlocked the car, took the keys from my hand, and pushed my car, which was tightly sandwiched between the two cars.

"It won't take that long, you missed both physics and composition classes this afternoon, and they all covered new content, but fortunately I made two notes. ”

He looked back at me with a smile, "You're busy taking double notes, can you still take care of the lectures?"

"Tonight's first self-study class, is your radio station going to have a meeting?" he asked me.

"Well, it's open every Thursday night. ”

"You...... Can I take a leave of absence? I think...... I want to give you a gift. He scratched his head in embarrassment and stammered.

Or when I finish the meeting, tonight's meeting involves the adjustment of time slots and sections, and it may not be easy to approve leave. I explained.

"That...... The gift is more special...... "He may have noticed the embarrassment in my eyes, and suddenly changed his hesitation, and rubbed my hair with a smile: "Forget it! I'll give ...... another gift."

"Don't!" I interrupted, "I'm still interested in something special!"

I stepped into the car, turned around and winked at him, "Prepare well!" and said goodbye.

"See you in the evening. He nodded and waved at me.

At that time, we said goodbye to each other with extra ease. We all think that every "goodbye" will be said again, and there will always be another meeting after every goodbye.
