28. No trace
It rained during the night, and the road was still a little wet in the morning. The rain had long since stopped, and the air pressure was low. Today is cloudy again, Sheng Feng stood on the balcony for a while, changed his shoes and went out.
Sheng Fengshi arrived at the office early every day, and today was five minutes earlier than usual, she breathed the cool air, walked to the door of the community step by step, and halfway through, she suddenly found herself walking faster and faster, stopped and adjusted her mentality, suppressed her pace, and continued to move forward.
As the distance shortened, Yuan Mu's figure at the gate gradually became clear, and when Sheng Feng met Yuan Mu's gaze, he walked to him before asking, "How long has it been?" ”
"Ten minutes."
The two walked in the direction of the school, and Sheng Fengshi said, "Next time, I will go out ten minutes late." ”
Yuan Mu should not.
Sheng Feng glanced at her, and Yuan Mu said, "The bus is this point." ”
"You can sit down the next one."
"The bus may not be on time, so I feel more comfortable arriving early."
"Can I feel at ease if I'm late?"
"And I'm calling?"
"What if I'm not ready?"
Yuan Mu made a difficulty: "There must always be someone waiting." The chances of exactly the same time are too small. ”
"So you're going to be late, and you'll call when you get there."
"Okay." Yuan Mu was reluctant, but it could only be like this, "Yao Ruoyu asked me to eat at noon. ”
Sheng Fengshi asked, "Does she contact you every day?" ”
Yuan Mu said: "Not every day, but very often. ”
"Are you annoying?"
"Not really." Yuan Mu was curious, "How did you become friends with her?" ”
Sheng Fengshi said: "After arriving at the university, she came to me once a week, and after a long time, she became a friend." ”
"Oh." Yuan Mu knew that since Sheng Fengshi gave Yao Ruoyu a chance to "take a long time", Sheng Fengshi at least didn't hate Yao Ruoyu as a person, and Yao Ruoyu should have a certain aspect of his body that Sheng Fengshi could appreciate, maybe he was smart but not hypocritical, or maybe he was enthusiastic.
On Tuesday morning, Sheng Feng was going out as usual, and when she passed by Yuan Mu's desk, Yuan Mu called her: "Teacher Sheng, where are you going?" ”
Sheng Fengshi stopped and replied: "Go to the research institute, I have a project in hand." Same on Thursday morning. ”
Yuan Mu said, "I'll wait for you to come back." ”
"Hmm." Sheng Fengshi smiled at her. Closing the office door, Sheng Fengshi's expression faded, and only a different look appeared in his eyes.
Yuan Mu read two class books, and after Sheng Fengshi came back, the two went to listen to the class. According to the regulations, it is enough to listen to lectures twice a month, and after Yuan Mu came, Sheng Fengshi appropriated the time to do the project to listen to the lectures, so that Yuan Mu had the opportunity to communicate with Zou Qi.
I also spend more time in the office than in the past. When I first discussed with the vice dean, this decision had a layer of meaning to look at outsiders and prevent them from disturbing the campus order, and later when Sheng Feng got to know more about what kind of person Yuan Mu was, he was completely at ease with Yuan Mu, but he still sat in the office every day, which meant something else. Sheng Fengshi found that he had already been interested in Yuan Mu every day, so he was speechless to himself every day.
Before class, Yuan Mu asked Zou Qi how he felt about going out yesterday afternoon, Zou Qi said that it was very cool, and the scenery did not look bright without sunshine, but there was a quiet feeling in his heart. Yuan Mu secretly calculated, she found that this weekend was rainy and cloudy, which was not a good weather for walking, if she could persuade Sheng Feng to go out on a cloudy day, she could meet this weekend.
In order to avoid the crowd, Sheng Fengshi and Yuan Mu left the classroom early. When I went back, I saw Yao Ruoyu standing at the door, Sheng Fengshi ignored her greetings and took the key to open the door. Yao Ruoyu made a "big deal" expression towards Yuan Mu, went in and sat on the sofa, turned off the mobile phone on mute, watched the news and waited for work.
Multiple people, the feeling is obvious, Yuan Mu finally understood why the third person was called "light bulb", Yao Ruoyu just sat there silently, she also felt that Yao Ruoyu was abrupt and redundant. After Yuan Mu thought about it like this, he immediately felt that he should not treat Yao Ruoyu like this, and silently reflected for a while.
When it was time to get off work, Yuan Mu put on his bag and said, "Teacher Sheng, I'm leaving." ”
"Hmm." Sheng Feng raised his head to answer Yuan Mu, and seemed to glance at Yao Ruoyu inadvertently.
Yao Ruoyu hurriedly said: "Go and go back, go and go back." ”
Yao Ruoyu's choice of the restaurant is near the school, Yuan Mu still insists on each point, Yao Ruoyu came down several times to know that it is impossible to persuade Yuan Mu to change his mind, although the last time she successfully invited Yuan Mu to dinner, she was lucky, thinking that maybe there would be a first time and a second time, but the reality is not negotiable.
When the food was served, Yao Ruoyu told the interesting things that happened in the process of pretending to be in love in the past few days, her eyebrows fluttering, and her laughter continued. Yuan Mu drank the lemon tea without taking a sip, looking absent-minded, which aroused Yao Ruoyu's dissatisfaction: "Are you listening?" Isn't that interesting? Yao Ruoyu knocked on the table and asked.
"I'm listening, and I'm thinking about something else."
"What do you think?"
Yuan Mu shook his head: "I won't sue you." ”
Yao Ruoyu supported her chin with one hand, her eyes were half-narrowed, and her tone was cold: "It's something related to the time." If you don't want to listen to me, you can say it directly, and I won't be angry, your perfunctory attitude is called impolite. ”
Yuan Mu said: "It's related to you." ”
Yao Ruoyu's eyes opened suddenly, put down her arms and said with a smile: "I'm really flattered." No, since it has something to do with me, you have to sue me, it's rare that you can fit me as an outsider in your head. ”
Yuan Mu hesitated.
Yao Ruoyu asked, "Are you thinking about my bad things?" ”
Yuan Mu said: "It's not good. ”
Yao Ruoyu held her right hand weakly, and knocked on the table with a little force to show her determination: "I want to listen." Don't worry, I'm not angry. ”
Yuan Mu wasn't afraid that she would be angry, but he just felt that it was very impolite to judge other people's behaviors as Yao Ruoyu said, and it was offensive to say his one-sided judgment, which was very excessive.
"Do you find me offended?" Yao Ruoyu asked guessingly.
Yuan Mu nodded.
"Offense or not, it's up to me to say it. You're already thinking about me badly, and I told you that you still won't say it, aren't you sincere in making me uncomfortable? You might as well give me a good time. ”
Yuan Mu closed his mouth and thought about it in his heart, and after a while, Yuan Mu loosened his lips: "I think you are talking about happy things, but in fact, you are not happy at all." ”
Yao Ruoyu was stunned: "That's it? I thought it was a bad idea. ”
Yuan Mu sighed and deflated his spirits, and said to Yao Ruoyu: "If my idea is right, but you originally wanted to live like this, it will hurt you if I break it." Even relatives and friends don't have the right to say that you can't live like this, you have to live like that, not to mention that I just know you. ”
Yao Ruoyu made way for the waiter to serve the food, and said, "Yuan Mu, do you know, it's not a harm to me if you break me, because I won't listen to you." I, thirty-nine, if I doubt myself and doubt my life because of your words, haven't I lived in vain? So it's useless to think so much. But do you know what is really hurting me? How can we say that we have had a few meals and talked a few times, even if we are not friends, acquaintances are finally counted, right? And it turns out that you just know me? On the street, I casually pull someone to stuff a business card, which is also called acquaintance, do you mean that I have been contacting you for half a month, and caring about your role is similar to a business card? My self-esteem was hurt very harshly. ”
Yuan Mu frowned and said, "I have only been with you for a short time. It is unreasonable for you to ask me to do so. ”
"There is no reason in my eyes. Hurry up and eat, your bone broth is going to be cold. Yao Ruoyu brutally ended the conversation.
"Thank you." Yuan Mu lowered his head and drank the soup.
Yao Ruoyu didn't rub in at all today, and she didn't stop talking after eating, and when she got the wooden snake, she sent Yuan Mu back to school directly without delaying for a while. Yuan Mu was confused in his heart, and when he went upstairs and found that there was no one in the office, he went to the lake. Sheng Fengshi was walking by the lake when he saw Yuan Mu coming over and stopped to wait for her.
Yuan Mu hurriedly caught up, and then they took a slow walk together. After walking twice, Yuan Muxin calmed down.
Back in the office, Yuan Mu moved a stool and sat in front of Sheng Fengshi - this action Yuan Mu did more and more naturally.
Sheng Feng faced Yuan Mu and waited for her to speak.
"Teacher Sheng, Yao Ruoyu seems to be angry because I said I just knew her."
"Ignore her."
"Good. I made another mistake today. Yuan Mu's lips pursed slightly.
Sheng Fengshi's gaze fell on Yuan Mu's lips, it only looked very soft, she took a deep breath without a trace to relieve the itchy feeling, and then moved her gaze up to Yuan Mu's eyes and asked, "What did you make a mistake?" ”
"I said she's pretending to be happy."
"What about the original words?"
Yuan Mu remembered it very well and repeated it to Sheng Fengshi.
Sheng Fengshi said: "Just say it, don't think about it." ”
"Hmm." Yuan Mu nodded and asked Sheng Fengshi, "Do you think so too?" ”
Sheng Fengshi said: "If you are really wrong, your fault is to let her find out that you are thinking about things." If you have a few more years of experience in society, you will be able to learn to disguise. ”
"I see." also knew that Sheng Fengshi and her thoughts were the same.
Yuan Mu turned to something else: "Last Sunday, I went to my uncle, my father's brother, to have dinner at home. This time, we were able to find Zou Qi and handle the supporting materials, all of which were helped by the teacher. He promised to let me work officially when I met Zou Qi. I want to stay in the carpentry room when the time comes. ”
"You want to stay?" Sheng Fengshi was so surprised that he forgot to control his expression, his eyes widened, and his lips didn't close when he finished speaking. Yuan Mu said that there was no warning before this incident, and it was too sudden.
"I'm going to stay." Yuan Mu said, "I've already decided. ”
Sheng Fengshi said: "This is a heavy decision. ”
"I know. I don't want to see you in the future. Yuan Mu looked into Sheng Fengshi's eyes, "Not all decisions need to be deliberate. I want to see you every day. ”
"Don't you think that's sloppy? Your life here will be completely different from your life back home. ”
"Teacher Sheng, I am very serious, more serious than ever. You know. ”
Sheng Fengshi was silent for a long time and said, "You don't have to sue me. It's still early. ”
Yuan Mu said: "When I saw you, my life was completely different. For me now, going back is a deliberate decision, but no matter how long I think about it, my liking for you will not change. I should stay, I must stay, or I will betray my will. ”
When it was prosperous, his heart shook and his mouth could not speak.
