14. A friend
The light rain is as moist as a crisp, and the grass is close but there is none. Yuan Mu held a blue straight bar umbrella, walked into the school gate unhappily, the green on both sides of the road was covered with a layer of fog, Yuan Mu walked under the tree, the drizzle was oblique, and occasionally one or two huge droplets of water fell on the leaves, and a long-accumulated force smashed on the umbrella surface, "bang", Yuan Mu was startled, unconsciously upturned the corners of his mouth, and walked to the next tree.
The huge campus was empty and quiet, Yuan Mu walked to the law school, closed his umbrella and went upstairs. The hallway was deserted, the office door was closed, and the time had not yet come. Yuan Mu leaned the umbrella against the door frame, looked at the name of Sheng Fengshi in italics under the door number for a while, and raised his fingers to slowly trace it. Then she stood by the door and waited, undistracted.
One after another, the teachers went upstairs and entered their respective offices, some looked at her, some turned a blind eye, and no one bothered her. Yuan Mu likes this kind of quietness, thinking that this kind of quietness was brought to her by Sheng Feng, and she threw her favorite feelings on Sheng Feng.
Finally, when the sheng feng came, Yuan Mu took a small step forward.
"How long have you waited?"
"Soon."
Sheng Feng saw a puddle of water under the umbrella and said, "Next time it's too early, you can call, I'll come and open the door." β
"Hmm. Teacher Sheng, good morning. β
"Good morning, take the umbrella in and put it in the basin, leaning against the corner." Sheng Fengshi put his folding umbrella in, walked to the desk, and looked up to see Yuan Mu carrying a mop in the corner of the wall to the door to drag water traces. Sheng Feng sat down and spread out his work notes, and the pen turned around his fingers, paused for a moment, and then turned around again.
Yuan Mu stood at the door and said, "Teacher Sheng, I'll wash the mop." β
"Go ahead."
After Yuan Mu left, Sheng Feng only looked at the door, a little bit to capture something. It just so happened that Zhao Ge passed by the door, turned his head to look inside, and as soon as his eyes met, Zhao Ge immediately turned his head and hurried away.
Sheng Feng bows his head to work.
After Yuan Mu came back, Sheng Fengshi said: "There is a meeting at nine o'clock, about half an hour. β
Yuan Mu: "Okay. β
Sheng Fengshi: "I worked. β
Yuan Mu: "I carve wood. β
Sheng Fengshi keenly noticed that there was a problem with the last two sentences, which seemed to be nonsense on the surface, but when she thought about it deeply: What is the relationship between them that requires her to explain to Yuan Mu that she is going to work? Sheng Fengshi had a headache for his unconscious crossing of the line and speech, but he couldn't help but feel tired of his insight. I was so tired that I didn't want to say a word, after all, it was wrong to say more.
At eight fifty-six, Yuan Mu stared at Sheng Fengshi.
"......" was felt almost immediately, and his hands hovered on the keyboard for two seconds, completing the current sentence and minimizing it.
Seeing her get up, Yuan Mu asked, "Teacher Sheng, are you going to a meeting?" β
"Yes."
Yuan Mu's face turned with Sheng Fengshi's movements, and he watched her walk out of the door, leaning out before the door closed and said, "Goodbye." β
The door closed in the next second, Yuan Mu sat up straight and was about to carve the villain, the door was opened again, Sheng Fengshi said with an indifferent expression: "Goodbye." β
Yuan Mu put on a bright smile, and the door closed again.
Yuan Mu was in a good mood, lowered his head and trimmed the little man's eyebrows with the tip of the knife. If you follow the rules, repair a few more places today, and this Zou Qi little wooden figure can be colored. Fixing an eyebrow, Yuan Mu stood up and walked around the desk, drinking with his back to the office door.
At this time, the knock on the door sounded three times quickly, Yuan Mu almost choked, put down the cup and "please come in" Before he could say anything, the door opened.
In terms of the movement between teachers, the office of Sheng Feng Shi was very deserted, and basically no one would come to talk about the things that could be solved by phone calls, and the call time was always very short. This leads to the fact that Yuan Mu rarely sees other teachers, so it is extremely normal for Yuan Mu not to know other teachers. But the lady who came was not a teacher - Yuan Mu made a judgment at a glance, and her brain was spinning at an unprecedented speed - combined with details such as clothing, temperament, demeanor, etc., she was not a parent of a student, and it was very likely that she was "a friend" as Sheng Fengshi said before. This string Yuan Mu stretched from Friday to Monday, and now she finally met the real person.
"Hello." Yuan Mu smiled slightly.
The friend looked at the name on the door in disbelief, and then looked into the furnishings before hesitantly entering. "Is Mr. Sheng here?"
"Teacher Sheng went to a meeting."
"You ......"
"I'm Teacher Sheng's teaching assistant." Yuan Mu answered immediately.
"Teaching assistants? Distributive? Scold. The friend laughed nonchalantly, put down his handbag, sat on the sofa, and jokingly asked Yuan Mu, "When are you going to change the teacher?" β
Yuan Mu: "It's not assigned. β
"Huh? She chose you? β
Yuan Mu thought about it, it was not wrong to say so, and nodded: "Yes." β
The friend's attitude quickly reversed, and it was a world away from the previous carelessness, he walked towards Yuan Mu with a smile and stretched out his hand enthusiastically: "Hello, my name is Yao Ruoyu, and I am a friend of Sheng Fengshi." β
"Hello." Yuan Muxu shook her hand and shook it twice. Yuan Mu's slightly perfunctory behavior was not because he was unfriendly, but because Yuan Mu was not used to having physical contact with others, let alone strangers.
Yao Ruoyu didn't care about this kind of detail at all, and asked Yuan Mu with high interest: "How long have you been following Teacher Sheng?" Does she talk to you? I see you're very young, like a student, are you a graduate student here? β
Yuan Mu replied in order: "A week, chat, no." β
Yao Ruoyu's enthusiasm was not hit at all, but stood closer to Yuan Mu: "You talk so little, just like the time, are your tempers very compatible?" β
Yuan Mu nodded and said, "It's very compatible." β
"Huh? What's this on your desk? Is it a piece of wood? Yao Ruoyu held her hair so as not to fall on the old tabletop, bent down to take a look, and exclaimed, "Is this a little girl?" What a delicate carving! This knife...... You made this wooden man? β
"Yes."
"Ingenuity, little friend." Yao Ruoyu's eyes were strange, she glanced at Yuan Mu's slender hands, and her gaze swept over, "Sit here, you have nothing to do anyway, let Teacher Sheng finish the work, right?" That's what she is. β
"Wait a minute, I'll get you a glass of water." Yuan Mu walked to the water dispenser, took out a disposable paper cup, took half a cup of warm water, and put his own water cup on the coffee table together.
Yuan Mu was still sitting on a single sofa.
"You're a local?"
"Yi'an City."
"Oh, is it? The air is very good there, there are mountains and water. Have you ever been to Lianyi Mountain? β
Yuan Mu nodded.
"Coincidentally, I've been there too, maybe we've met before."
Yuan Mu shook his head. She went straight up the mountain from the village, which has not been developed for tourism, and the mountain roads have been stepped on from generation to generation, and no travelers will come except for adventure lovers.
"You really don't have too many words, and you will say 'um' when the time comes, and you don't even have a 'um'." Yao Ruoyu smiled and asked, "You can't just learn to speak recently, do you?" β
"It's not."
"It's tiring to talk to you. The same is true for talking to the right time. Are you two tired of talking? I'm curious. β
Yuan Mu replied good-naturedly: "We are not tired of talking. β
Yao Ruoyu shook her head with a look of disbelief: "Even if you are not tired of talking, if there are others next to you, you will be tired of listening." Tell me about yourself, I am very good friends with Feng Shi, and you and I will definitely have the opportunity to meet again in the future, get to know each other as soon as possible, and get acquainted with each other as soon as possible. β
Yuan Mu asked, "Which aspect do you want to know?" β
"Your emotional experience, to be specific, is how many times you have been in love."
Yuan Mu felt that this question was a little strange, but he still answered truthfully: "I have no experience." β
"Kid, you're bored like this. You see that you are good-looking, have no physical defects, and were born in an era when early love was so common, it is normal to have a love experience. Even if you don't have a love, then there will always be a crush, right? Have you ever had an ambiguity? Are you still a blank slate? β
"It's not a blank slate." Yuan Mu said, "These things belong to the individual, I just met you for the first time, and I don't want to answer these questions when you ask them." If you continue to ask, I will not speak, I hope you will not take my actions as an offense. β
"Okay, okay, I won't ask, don't be angry." Yao Ruoyu smiled and sighed, "You are really similar to the temper of the time." No, you're better tempered than the right time. Don't be like her in the future, you only have a few friends. β
"Friends are not about numbers."
"I know that people like you don't live in the same world as us." Yao Ruoyu sighed twice, "I'll ask something else, okay?" What is your impression of the time? β
Yuan Mu thought for a while and said, "It's the most beautiful person I've ever seen." β
Yao Ruoyu's mouth was half open, frowning and staring, unbelievable.
Yuan Mu took a sip of water.
Yao Ruoyu muttered: "You two are really not from the same world as us. You...... What is your name? β
"Yuan Mu."
"Good natural name. Okay, Yuan Mu, you look at me. β
Yuan Mu looked at Yao Ruoyu.
"Do you think the time is the most beautiful person you've ever met?" Yao Ruoyu asked.
"Yes." Yuan Mu is very sure.
"I'm Banhua, you know? I was in high school and was in a class, and I was the class flower. Yao Ruoyu emphasized.
Yuan Mu felt that this friend of Teacher Sheng was a bit naΓ―ve.
"Teacher Sheng, is the most beautiful person I have ever met." Yuan Mu repeated.
Halfway through the opening, it suddenly stopped. Yuan Mu and Yao Ruoyu looked at each other, closed the door casually, and said, "You are here." β
Yao Ruoyu asked, "Do you have a teaching assistant?" β
"Hmm."
"Did you hear what she just said?"
"Hmm."
"Do you have anything to say?"
"What are you doing here?"
Yao Ruoyu seemed to have a mouthful of blood in her chest, she couldn't spurt it out and couldn't swallow it, she was so uncomfortable that she took out a packaged box from her bag: "It's rare for me to go abroad, I brought a gift, and I'll come to you." β
"Leave it alone, thank you." Sheng Fengshi stood in front of the coffee table and asked, "Is there anything else?" β
Yao Ruoyu asked Yuan Mu: "Do you have something to do at noon, I will invite you to dinner?" β
Yuan Mu looked at Sheng Fengshi, and Yao Ruoyu also followed to see Sheng Fengshi.
"She's with me."
Yao Ruoyu asked Sheng Fengshi directly this time: "Change the number of the head office, right?" β
Sheng Feng glanced at Yuan Mu, and Yuan Mu reported a string of numbers to Yao Ruoyu. Yao Ruoyu wrote it down and said to Yuan Mu: "I'll contact you again when I'm free, you guys get off work at five o'clock, right?" β
Sheng Fengshi: "Together in the afternoon." β
Yao Ruoyu smiled slightly provocatively: "There is still tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, you are all in the way?" β
Sheng Fengshi frowned: "You don't go to work?" β
"I resigned, and you haven't seen the news I posted this month?" Yao Ruoyu collapsed and said, "I'll go first, Yuan Mu, you wait for me to contact." β
Yuan Mu: "Goodbye." β
When the door closed, Sheng Fengshi said, "Ignore her." β
Yuan Mu asked, "Are you very good friends with her?" β
"Yes. But you can ignore it. β
Yuan Mu was noncommittal, walked up to Sheng Fengshi, stared at her eyes and asked, "You just said that you would eat together at noon and in the afternoon?" β
Blooming time: "......"
