Outside the window, the morning fog is vast. The brown branches of the old locust tree seem to be full of fairy energy, and the green long pods are soaked in the mist, as if they have been carelessly twisted, and they are strung together and hung quietly on the branches.

Xu Shuangchuan looked at a small round mirror with red plastic edges under the windowsill and pulled up his ponytail.

Chen Chi sat on the bench, his hands propped on his sides, and watched for about ten seconds. "My hair is not curly, it used to be a little curly. ”

"Hmm. Xu Shuangchuan replied, "If it's hot, it's not taken care of, and it's straightened again." ”

"The rolls are pretty good. Chen Chi showed a hint of a smile, "The mirror was brought from home?"

"No, it's bought in the market here. Xu Shuang finished combing her hair, opened the drawer, put the mirror and comb in, pulled the hem of the down jacket with her eyes, and slept all night with her clothes closed, she always felt that the down filled inside was unevenly squeezed.

"The fourth grandfather's boat will pick me up later, and I'll go to town to buy something. She turned to look at Chen Chi, "After breakfast, let's set off together." ”

Chen Chi looked at her for a long time: "...... It's good. ”

"In the school, there are always visitors living in the school, and the impact is not good. ”

Chen Chi couldn't help but look at her again, her current gentle appearance was just Xiaoxuan's window, combed into makeup, spoke softly, reflecting a thick and pale white mist outside the window, a few years ago, they might have made fun of her eyebrow pencil, but now she has learned the euphemism of outsiders to him. Chen Chi curled his lips: "I know." He said with a little apology, "I went to the wrong place when I came, I went to the school where you taught in the summer, and I was delayed for two days on the way. ”

"How do you know where I teach?"

"I read your password notebook, logged into your online account, and saw the confirmation email. ”

Xu Shuangchuan nodded, no wonder Chen Chi walked to her summer teaching point, this place was notified on the spot at the end of the summer, and there was no communication through the Internet.

Chen Chi looked at her and knew that she would change all the passwords.

"Go wash up, it's next door, the water in the hot water bottle didn't use up last night, you use my basin to wash first, Principal Miao and Aunt Guo will come over in a while, let's not occupy the kitchen." ”

"Good. ”

"Yellow, that's just the basin. Xu Shuang descended to the wooden shelf, and Nunu mouthed.

Chen Chi chuckled softly and walked over.

Xu Shuangchuan stood up, leaned forward, reached out to open the window latch, and habitually lifted and inhaled while pushing out.

Before she could exhale that breath, a small black shadow fell from the window, and she reflexively withdrew her hand and screamed.

"What's wrong?" Chen Chi put the basin down and rushed over.

Xu Shuangchuan didn't speak, his eyes looked at the window lattice as if something was bouncing, so he looked along the wall under the window, and saw the wooden table against it, beside the tofu bottle with the dog's tail grass, his eyes swept that thing, and immediately made another sound, and the person ducked back, but was blocked by the chair, and was so frightened that he sat down.

"What's wrong?" Chen Chi didn't want to hold Xu Shuangshui, he was also watching, but because he missed the first scene, he just hurriedly scanned everywhere in and out of the window at this time.

"Here. Xu Shuang was shocked and nodded his fingers.

Chen Chi looked at it, but it turned out to be a gecko, not very big, with long fingers, lead-gray, a little shriveled, motionless, already dead. He looked sideways at Xu Shuangxia, and when he saw that her eyes were trembling and the corners of her mouth were tightened, he wanted to be appeased.

Xu Shuangchuan opened his mouth and said, "Don't touch it." She turned and walked quickly to the door, and said again anxiously, "Just stand there and see if it will pretend to be dead and run away, staring, don't move your hands." ”

"Where are you?"

"Next door. Xu Shuangchuan responded casually and quickly stepped out of the threshold.

Chen Chi looked at her back, as if he had returned to the past. Xu Shuangchuan is a word at home, there are many rules, sometimes after dinner, he collects the dishes and chopsticks and puts them on the stove, she will follow closely and say, don't move, just put it like this. She didn't worry that he would put the leftover bowls into the sink, and often taught him, if you put an oil bowl and other clean bowls together to soak in dish soap, won't all of them become heavily polluted, don't move, I have to sort them first.

Her little rules, so many and funny, made her look like a busy little bee, fluttering around the house and sniffing around, and sometimes he was tired for her, and he didn't dare to say anything.

Chen Chi retracted his gaze, and didn't know what she was going to do, so he stared at the dead gecko as she commanded, thinking in his heart, probably the cold weather froze this gecko to death, and he had to take something and throw it far away, otherwise he would scare her to death.

Xu Shuangchuan came back soon, and when he saw Chen Chi turning his neck and looking around, he was immediately dissatisfied in his heart, after a few years, he didn't change his dead nature, and he couldn't do anything well, so he told him to watch it closely, and look at something else.

She hurriedly looked at the tofu bottle on the table, and the spirit shook again, disgusted and sympathetic to the gecko, and her heart was still relieved, it didn't run away. Immediately, she lifted the long tongs in her hand.

Needless to say, Chen Chi also understood that this was a tool for clamping geckos. "Give me, I'll come. He stretched out his hand to her and said, "You stand by." ”

"You stand by. Xu Shuang lowered his face to the back of Chen Chi and motioned for him to step back, "Don't touch it." ”

When she finished, she puffed out her eyes, held the tongs, and tried to reach for the gecko calmly. The gecko landed in a very bad place, almost clinging to the glass bottle, and she endured goosebumps all over her body and pulled them out with the tip of the tongs.

"I'll come. Chen Chi said in a low voice.

Before Xu Shuangchuan could react, he was held by one hand. She shuddered with fright, and her eyes flicked when she saw the gecko being touched, and her body sank even more.

"What are you doing?" she blurted out annoyance, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Chen Chi's face was very ugly, just like the angry look they had when they quarreled before, and her heart was even more angry, so she said politely, "Didn't you see that I was going to clean it up?"

"I'll come. Chen Chi glanced at Xu Shuang and said softly, he snatched the tongs, and seemed to be a little bitter, "Let men come to this kind of thing." ”

Xu Shuangchuan glanced at him, and the person stepped aside, his mouth not idle: "I know this gecko." ”

Chen Chi couldn't help but look sideways at her.

"When it's hot, it often crawls out at dusk," she pointed her index finger at the roof beam, and shook her wrist to turn it around several times, "It crawls everywhere, sometimes it doesn't move for a long time, I thought it was looking for a warm place to hibernate in winter, and it turned out to be still active here." ”

Chen Chi stared at Xu Shuangchuan's face, and after a while, his tongue seemed to swallow Coptis chinensis: "...... Aren't you afraid?"

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid to die. Xu Shuangchuan said this sentence like a slip of the tongue, quickly glanced at the table, and immediately looked away, only to be a little scared, "It doesn't bite either." ”

Chen Chi was speechless.

"Do you know how to use tongs?" Xu Shuangchuan urged, "I'm going to throw it outside the school, if you don't use it, give it to me, don't fall halfway." ”

Chen Chi lowered his eyes: "I will, you go and open the gate first." ”

"Oh. Xu Shuangchuan heard that it made sense, and hurriedly ran out.

The winter morning fog is truly beautiful.

Xu Shuangxiao, who was wearing a black down jacket and clanging the big iron gate, didn't look like a fairy. She bent down and pulled out the pin, exhaled, and rubbed her hand that was frozen by the iron pin.

"Is it cold?" Chen Chi stood a meter away from her, afraid that she would be uncomfortable when she saw the gecko, so he didn't get close.

"It's not cold. ”

"You go back to the house, I'll go out and throw it. ”

"You don't know where to throw it, I'll bring it to you. Xu Shuang muttered.

"You just point in the right direction. Chen Chi didn't listen when he saw Xu Shuangchuan, and said, "Then don't go ahead of me, I'm holding the tongs." ”

Xu Shuang snorted, but she automatically fell behind Chen Chi, but she didn't stop, and it was like telling a story all the way: "You look at the road, and it's troublesome to stumble before you leave." That's not a problem for me. I've slapped flies, I've swatted cockroaches, I've swatted termites, they're all alive, this one is dead. ”

Chen Chi paused: "Where did the cockroaches come from?

"Hmph. The rats are almost there," Xu Shuang pounced and hurried away, "There are mouse traps sold on the Internet, what are you afraid of?"
