chapter 03

At 3:20 p.m. on Sunday, Shen Feibai carried Xuanxuan's small blue schoolbag and walked into the Super Baby Early Education Center behind Xuanxuan.

There was another girl at the front desk, who was also young.

There were two female employees standing next to them, three of them were facing outward, their lips were wriggling and talking, and when they saw Xuanxuan and Shen Feibai behind her, their eyes lit up at the same time, and they tacitly stopped talking.

One of the standing female employees quickly put on a smiling face to meet Xuanxuan, took her tender little hand, squatted in front of her, and asked, "Xuanxuan, who sent you here?" ”

Xuanxuan tilted her head cutely and raised her hand to point: "Uncle." ”

With a sweet voice, Shen Feibai hooked his lips at her.

He is tall and long-legged, has a handsome face, a calm and introverted temperament, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, which is as touching as a spring breeze. Several people, including his parents, who were watching him intently, were all smoked into their hearts by the sudden warm wind.

The female employee standing behind couldn't help but whisper to the front desk: "Anchor Shen is not as unsmiling as R said." ”

With the staff here taking care of Xuanxuan, Shen Feibai walked to the front desk with confidence and followed the prescribed procedures according to the class process explained by Shen Xinyu in advance.

Early childhood education institutions are responsible for the safety of each child, and the procedures for pick-up and drop-off are strict.

He suddenly had a doubt, Zhou Jiyou studied at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in college, and studying in the United States should be inseparable from art, but her current work is early childhood education.

Sending Xuanxuan to the make-up classroom, Shen Feibai asked the female employee who led the way, Zhou Jiyou, where was it.

When the other party heard the name, he reacted for a while and pointed to the next door: "You said Rita?" She attends classes in classroom A. ”

Employees call each other by their first names, and the same is true for their leaders. Shen Feibai suddenly mentioned the Chinese name of the new supervisor, and the other party obviously began to think about it, and his eyes were full of curiosity.

Shen Feibai thanked Dao Dao and paced towards the door of classroom A.

A medium-sized female head of class was looking in through the glass round window on the door to see her child's class, and felt that someone was approaching behind her, and when she looked back, she probably recognized Shen Feibai and was stunned for a moment.

Shen Feibai nodded in acknowledgment, she came back to her senses, bowed politely, and then asked curiously, "Your child is also in class here?" ”

Her well-groomed hair just covered most of the round window, and Shen Feibai didn't see anything.

He said lightly: "My sister's children are in class here." ”

The female head of the family came to know herself and said, "I know all the children in this class, what is the name of your sister's child?" ”

She turned sideways, raised her hand and pointed to a row of small dolls inside, pointing out a few names at random.

It was at this time that Shen Feibai got the opportunity to take a half step forward and looked down into the round window.

Eight children sat in a circle, on the rostrum painted with red paint, Zhou Jiyou was still in simple clothes the day and night, but at the moment his long hair was tied up, and he looked more youthful and beautiful.

A white screen hangs on the wall in front of the podium, illuminated by the projection of colored light, turning it into a fun learning platform.

There are all kinds of cartoon characters and colorful English words on the learning platform, she has a bright smile and rich limbs, leading the children to play games to learn English, full of vitality and enthusiasm.

This kind of Zhou Jiyou is even more strange than the gentle and generous her the night before.

Suddenly, Shen Feibai had a feeling of emptiness and powerlessness, which had tormented him in every way many years ago - she was like a flowing cloud that came and went freely, its shape changed with the wind, ethereal like smoke, and she couldn't hold it in her palm.

The matriarch asks him if it's Rarity, Ash, or Doudou. Shen Feibai shook his head and sighed lightly: "I found the wrong classroom, she took a Chinese class." ”

The other party had not seen him send Xuanxuan into the Chinese classroom next door before, and when he heard it, he believed it, faintly regretting.

She tilted her head to look at him: "Anchor Shen." ”

Shen Feibai looked away from Zhou Jiyou's lively movements in the classroom and looked at her.

There seemed to be a layer of confused mist under his calm eyes, and the matriarch hesitated: "...... You should call it that right, right? ”

Shen Feibai paused for a moment, lowered his eyes slightly, his eyes returned to calm, and the corners of his lips raised slightly: "You are free." ”

The female patriarch smiled, her heart widened, and she asked the curiosity in her heart: "Anchor Shen, do you have any children yourself?" ”

There was nothing to hide, and he replied truthfully: "I am currently unmarried. ”

The classroom is a moderate area, the door is open on the side with a slightly narrower width, Zhou Jiyou stands on the right side of the podium, diagonally opposite the door and window, Shen Feibai appeared in front of the window for a while, and she saw him.

She had been waiting patiently since the night before. After checking Xiao Jiaxuan's class schedule, she guessed whether he would come to pick him up.

He's coming.

It's not too early or too late, and it's caught off guard.

After an interesting game, Zhou Jiyou mobilized the atmosphere and rushed down the podium and high-fived every child to celebrate the victory.

The children are very fond of slapping the teacher's palm in a mischievous way, as if it is only the teacher who hurts, not themselves.

After taking pictures one by one, Zhou Jiyou twisted his palms with his fingertips to relieve the numbness.

Looking up again, only Kangkang's mother was left in front of the window, and she couldn't stop watching inside.

She returned to the podium and glanced at the six-year-old boy who was sitting in the middle, squirming around.

The hour-and-a-half class time passed quickly, and some parents would choose to find a place inside the center to sit and wait. Grandma Doudou has always been like this.

***

Shen Feibai also became one of the parents waiting for their children to get out of class.

He sits in a small glass partition with a small round table and two chairs facing each other, one of which sits in a small glass partition and occasionally replies to a message or a phone call.

Sitting opposite was a male parent who was happy to be silent, and after the two bowed their heads, they looked at each other without saying a word, and neither of them felt embarrassed. It's just that the male head can't help but raise his head from the pad from time to time and look at him twice.

Classroom A ended early, and before Xuanxuan came out, the first thing to wait for was Zhou Jiyou, who walked out of classroom A without squinting after communicating with parents about what Guò had learned.

Zhou Jiyou passed in front of the glass curtain wall of the reception room, Shen Feibai put his mobile phone in his coat pocket, got up, opened the door and walked out.

Out of the corner of his eye, Zhou Jiyou caught him standing up from his chair, and for a moment, the sound of steady footsteps sounded behind him.

She curled the corners of her lips and quickened her pace as if inadvertently, walking towards Grandma Doudou, who was not far away.

Grandma Doudou stood in front of the water dispenser to bring hot water to her grandson, handed the cup to him, told him to hold it steadily, raised her eyes, saw Zhou Jiyou, opened her mouth and called her: "Xiao Zhou, I was looking for you." ”

Zhou Jiyou stepped forward with a smile, "What do you command?" ”

Grandma Doudou glanced at her with the corners of her mouth and said, "Hey, what do you have to say." I just want to ask you, how about I arrange for you to meet on Tuesday night with my cousin, the one who worked in the law firm, that I told you last time? ”

Shen Feibai stood at a distance of one meter behind Zhou Jiyou, and when he heard this, his eyes turned pale and his face was slightly gloomy.

Zhou Jiyou rolled his eyes to the back, and his amber pupils flashed a faint light that no one noticed, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, you decide." ”

Grandma Doudou clapped her hands happily, obviously having decided in advance, and immediately reported the specific time and detailed address.

After a brief chat, Doudou's grandmother asked her to save her cousin's nephew's mobile phone number in the address book so that the two could contact each other on Tuesday night.

Zhou Jiyou didn't say a word, and did so.

Doudou drank good water on the side and followed his grandmother home.

Zhou Jiyou watched on the spot, thinking in his heart: 1, 2, 3......

When the silent count reached 5, Shen Feibai stepped forward and stood side by side with her.

She glanced at him sideways, and was slightly surprised: "When did you come, to pick up Xuanxuan?" ”

Shen Fei was wearing a formal gray long coat, his hands were in his pockets, his chin was lowered, his deep eyes were lowered, and he stared at her expressionlessly: "You want to go on a blind date?" ”

"Did you hear that?" Zhou Jiyou smiled lightly, moved his eyes to the smooth floor, and didn't look at him, "It's hard to be gracious, come to me every week to do ideological work." ”

He didn't speak, and she felt a weight on her right cheek that couldn't be ignored. He looked down at her, with a look she could almost imagine in her mind.

From time to time, someone walked in front of them, as if unintentionally, to glance at them.

Zhou Jiyou calmed down, he didn't say anything, and she didn't say anything.

Invisibly, the two competed with each other.

The heating inside the center is connected to the shopping mall, the heating is sufficient, Zhou Jiyou doesn't wear much, but it has only been a short time since he and the child mobilized the atmosphere, his body is still hot, and there is a faint flush on his cheeks that has not dissipated.

Shen Feibai looked at her with partial eyes, and the turbid qi that had been stuffing in his heart since the night before suddenly swelled several times.

His lips moved, all his emotions were suppressed in his eyes, and he threw out a sentence clearly: "I'm with you." ”

Zhou Jiyou's eyebrows moved, and she wanted to laugh a little, but in fact, she did chuckle slowly.

She looked at him and said in a flat tone: "I'm going on a blind date, what are you doing with me." ”

The smile is dull, heartless, piercing and piercing.

Shen Feibai's hands in his coat pockets clenched unconsciously, his expression was restrained, and his voice was solemn: "As a family member, I will go and check for you." ”

"Oh." Zhou Jiyou didn't smile this time, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and said lightly, "No need, I can do it myself." ”

Shen Feibai's heart suddenly stopped.

There was a Chinese class that happened to end at this time, and the female teacher pulled a long line of children out on a small train, including Xuanxuan.

The child's laughter and noise exploded like popcorn.

Zhou Jiyou turned around when he heard the sound and pointed with his eyes: "Go pick her up." ”

Shen Feibai didn't move.

Outside the classroom door not far away, other children were picked up by their parents one after another, and Xuanxuan carried a small blue schoolbag, like a small tail, and followed behind the female teacher.

He gritted his teeth and stared at her calmly: "Give me the phone." ”

Zhou Jiyou raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

The right hand is stretched out of the pocket, and the palm is flattened, but it is not said a second time; There was an unshakable persistence in his eyes, and he was vigorous.

Zhou Jiyou was silent, put his hand into the pocket of his pencil pants, took out his mobile phone, and put it in his hand.

The white iPhone, like any of her previous phones, was simple and neat, never casing.

With his arms still in a flat position, he lifted his chin: "Unlock." ”

Obviously it was not the tone of the order, but after coming down twice in a row, Zhou Jiyou was a little depressed.

She snorted without a smile, and looked at him with her arms crossed, as if to say: You can bear it, you can solve it yourself.

This is her most authentic appearance, more real than her gentle and enthusiastic her.

Shen Fei's white eyebrows were lightly raised, and his heart was slightly calmer because he saw her familiar.

Zhou Jiyou was stunned by his inexplicable looseness, unconsciously shrunk his cheeks, and his pupils were slightly open.

He closed his long arms and slid his eyes off the screen.

Ten circles, four-digit password, if you want to crack it, it's all up to luck.

Tried her birthday, no.

He lifted his eyelids and glanced at her.

Zhou Jiyou hugged his arms and shrugged his shoulders, slightly provocative.

Gently touching the screen with his fingertips, Shen Feibai paused, and finally entered another person's birthday as if he was settling with himself.

The unlock is successful.

The dark gray screen suddenly flashed a white light and lit up.

Shen Feibai raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes were bright and compelling, and he seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Zhou Jiyou's face was tight, his face did not change, but his heart gradually became hot, like a spark ignited, far beyond the controllable range.

He's changed, he's become uncontrollable......
