14. Chapter XIV

Su Miaoyan and Zhan Shuxiu sat down on the stone steps next to the elementary school playground.

Directly opposite the stone steps is a tall mango tree with yellow leaves.

Su Miaoyan looked at Zhan Shuxiu beside him, and still felt incredible: "Zhan Shuxiu, when did you come back?" I really didn't expect you to come back, we met here, it's really ...... Magical! ”

"I was surprised, too." Zhan Shuxiu smiled and said, "I came back two days ago, and my mother was sick and not in good health, so I came back to see her." What about you? ”

"I came back yesterday ......" Su Miaoyan paused, remembering the reason why he came back and couldn't cry or laugh again. Shaking her head, she smiled helplessly, "I told my brother about my one-month vacation, and my brother told my parents, and my parents let me come back." ”

Zhan Shuxiu: "Oh. ”

"By the way, did you have any inspiration for the design commissioned by the old gentleman?" Su Miaoyan said with concern.

Zhan Shuxiu smiled: "I have a little idea." ”

"Really?!" Su Miaoyan was pleasantly surprised, "That's great, congratulations!" ”

Her eyes were shining, her expression was flying, and she seemed to be even happier than him when she heard the news, Zhan Shuxiu was a little stunned for a while, and after reacting, his face was slightly hot, and he looked away unnaturally, and said in a low voice: "Thank you." ”

"Hey, Zhan Shuxiu, don't say such polite words!" Su Miaoyan said embarrassedly, "I really like this old couple, I hope you can design it as soon as possible, fulfill the old gentleman's promise to his wife, and strive to surprise the old gentleman's wife, not ......."

Su Miaoyan paused, didn't continue, and his expression turned from happy to gloomy.

Zhan Shuxiu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously blurted out: "Don't worry, I will work hard." ”

"Huh?"

Su Miaoyan, who was immersed in his thoughts, didn't hear clearly, raised his head and looked at him suspiciously.

Zhan Shuxiu met her gaze, his eyes were firm and clear, and he repeated clearly word by word: "I mean, I will do my best to complete the old man's commission, don't worry." ”

Su Miaoyan was stunned for a moment, then raised her lips, nodded heavily and smiled: "Hmm! ”

Zhan Shuxiu also looked at her with a smile.

For a moment, neither of them spoke. The atmosphere of silence was slowly spreading, and some indescribable strange feelings seemed to be gradually breeding, invisible, but gentle towards the two of them......

For a moment, Zhan Shu Xiu Su Miaoyan's smile froze, and both of them quickly and embarrassedly looked away from each other's eyes, and turned their heads to look around, but they didn't dare to look at the person sitting next to them at all.

Su Miaoyan could feel her heart beating fast, and she quietly reached out and probed her cheek...... It's hot, she lifts her forehead and laments, maybe her face is red now, it's terrible! What to do, what to do? That behavior just now was so embarrassing, how could she stare at Zhan Shuxiu? What does Zhan Shu think and think of her now? What a shame!

But then again, Zhan Shuxiu also stared at her, right?

So...... It's normal for two parties to talk and look at each other politely, right? It's just that the two of them didn't have time to turn their eyes away after they finished speaking...... Well, that's it! It's really not normal for her to think about this nonsense here, and Zhan Shuxiu didn't say anything to her, she really embarrassed both of them like this.

Thinking like this, Su Miaoyan slowly calmed down, calmed down her good mood, and after thinking about it, she calmly turned her head and smiled at Zhan Shuxiu again: "By the way, Zhan Shuxiu, why did you think of coming to school at this time?" ”

Zhan Shu Xiu frowned, his face was slightly red, and his expression was very ...... Split? It seems that there are dazed, puzzled, incomprehensible, nervous, and sometimes mixed with a slight smile......

Hearing Su Miaoyan's question, Zhan Shuxiu turned his head, his gaze stayed on her face for a moment, and the split expression appeared again, and he forgot to say it for a while.

Su Miaoyan's face that had just cooled down by him became hot again, and he waved away the thoughts that he shouldn't have, thinking that he didn't hear what she said, Su Miaoyan's eyes continued to calm and repeat: "I said, how did you think of coming to school at this time?" ”

"Oh, this one...... Zhan Shuxiu came back to his senses, waved the small bag in his hand, and said, "It's too boring to stay at home, so I took a sketchbook and a paintbrush out to paint, and by the way, let's see if I can expand my thinking by changing the environment." ”

Su Miaoyan was surprised: "You can still paint?" ”

"A little bit!" Zhan Shuxiu smiled, "What about you? How did you come to school at this time? ”

Speaking of this, Su Miaoyan's tone lowered again: "I heard my parents say at dinner last night that the school now only retains the kindergarten and the first and second grade classes, and the other third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grade classes have been cancelled, and these students have all been merged into another elementary school twenty minutes away from us, so I wanted to come and see what our school is like." ”

Zhan Shuxiu nodded and said, "I know, this decision was made a year ago. ”

Su Miaoyan looked at the tall mango trunk in front of him, and then turned his head to look at the familiar scene and object elsewhere. The eight red characters on a white background embedded in the wall at the top of the teaching building are still bright and alive; The two stone walls on both sides of the gate of the teaching building, the "China Map" engraved on the right stone wall, and the "World Map" engraved on the left stone wall are still clear and alive; The wide, hard concrete playground on her left was paved when she was in second grade. In the past, when it was time for morning exercises, the playground was full of students from all classes who listened to the sound of the horn and did radio gymnastics. She has also been a school leader for two or three years! Right now...... Students who stand on the playground and do radio gymnastics are afraid that they will not be satisfied with even half of the playground, right?

Su Miaoyan said a little sadly: "Zhan Shuxiu, if the current situation continues, maybe it won't be long before the school we used to study will even merge the kindergarten, first and second grade students into another elementary school, and here, there will be no more teachers and students, and it will completely become an abandoned school, right?" ”

"Hmm." Zhan Shuxiu also looked at the scene, everything, grass and trees of the school, and replied softly, "Perhaps, there will not even be an abandoned school, but it will be demolished and rebuilt into other houses, or for people, or for business." ”

"Yes, the only people who remember that it ever existed were those of us who studied and grew up here." Su Miaoyan smiled, but her tone was bitter, "I know that this is a necessary process for the development of the times, but I still feel that this qiē came too quickly, and I feel very sad and sad." ”

Zhan Shuxiu looked at her, his heart suddenly softened, and he suddenly spoke: "Su Miaoyan, if you don't dislike it, I'll draw the full appearance of the school and send it to you!" If you miss it in the future, you can take it out and take a look. ”

"Huh? May I? I don't dislike it, it's too late to be happy! Su Miaoyan said in surprise, and after thinking about it, she hesitated a little, "But, aren't you still busy with design?" Will this delay and trouble you? ”

"No, it won't." Zhan Shu said, "I take the time to draw in my spare time, it's not troublesome, but the time is a little longer, and I may not be able to give it to you right away." ”

Su Miaoyan said again and again: "It's okay, it's okay, it's important, I'm not in a hurry, you can wait slowly, you don't have to rush, you really don't have to rush at all." ”

Zhan Shuxiu smiled: "That's fine." ”

"Thank you, Zhan Shuxiu." Su Miaoyan said very sincerely.

Zhan Shuxiu looked at her, and suddenly said with a straight face: "Su Miaoyan, this is not a big deal, let's not say these kind words in the future, okay?" ”

Su Miaoyan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a bright smile: "Okay!" Then I won't tell you, and you won't tell me! ”

"Hmm."

……

The sun is gradually setting in the west.

The people who sat together and chatted and talked didn't feel it at all.

He Liting cooked the meal and came over to call her son Zhan Shuxiu to go home for dinner, but he didn't bring his mobile phone when he came out, saying that he would go to school and go back, but he didn't come back when it came to dinner.

Walking into the school gate, He Liting saw her son sitting on the stone steps at a glance, and there was a ...... next to her Girl?! The two of them are still talking and laughing, and they are talking very happily?!

He Liting's eyes widened instantly, wondering if she was dizzy with old eyes, thinking of this, she couldn't help but take a few big steps forward, blinked a few times, and finally saw clearly that it was indeed a beautiful girl with long hair and glasses sitting next to her son, and the two seemed to have a good relationship. Because her son, who is devoted to design, is not only not cold and alienated from this girl at all, but also! Laugh! Finish!

In the past, he used to ask him to talk to other girls more, and he felt that it was a waste of his time designing things!

There's a play!

There is definitely a play!!

Thinking of this, He Liting suddenly frowned with joy and grinned.

Su Miaoyan's eyes swept to this well-dressed person again. After the fair-skinned middle-aged woman filtered her brain again to confirm that she really didn't know her, she couldn't help frowning.

This middle-aged woman noticed Su Miaoyan from the moment she entered the school gate, and as soon as she came in, she stared at her and Zhan Shuxiu, and got closer and closer. Now he stood still again, silent, with a weird smile on his face, his eyes only continued to stare at her and Zhan Shuxiu, but he didn't make any moves, which was very weird.

Su Miaoyan was stared at awkwardly by her, so she simply interrupted Zhan Shuxiu's words, turned her head and looked at the middle-aged woman generously, and smiled politely: "Auntie, may I ask if there is something wrong with you?" ”

He Liting, who was being asked coldly: "Ah? ”

Zhan Shuxiu looked at Su Miaoyan's gaze, and was instantly stunned when he saw the person coming, frowning and saying, "Mom, why are you here?" ”

Mother?!

Su Miaoyan's eyes widened suddenly, and she said in surprise: "Zhan Shuxiu, she is your mother?!" ”
