23. Deeply moved

The holidays always end in such a hurry, and few of the students who have classes on Tuesday morning are like the morning sun, and half of them are dragging their bodies and reluctantly walking to the classroom.

Yuan Mu sat in the last row of the classroom, watching the students come in groups or alone through the back door, many of them still didn't wake up, and asked Sheng Fengshi next to him: "Is college hard?" โ€

The counselor sat at the end, and the students naturally leaned forward, and the back three rows were unusually empty. Sheng Feng Shi replied: "If you mean that they have struggled with temptation for a long time - yes, it is very hard. โ€

Zou Qi came in together, Zou Qi was talking happily, when she saw Sheng Fengshi and Yuan Mu, she said to her roommates, and came over and said, "Teacher Sheng is good, Teacher Yuan Mu is good." โ€

"Hello." Sheng Feng smiled and nodded.

Yuan Mu saw Zou Qi again after a few days, and he was very kind in his heart, and asked with a smile: "Did you have fun during the holidays?" โ€

"Happy! More people is fun. I also bought you a small gift, but I forgot to bring it today, so I'll get it back to you. โ€

"Thank you." Yuan Mu had no words in his stomach, looking at Sheng Fengshi.

Sheng Fengshi said: "Zou Qi, Yang Wanxin seems to be looking for you, you can go over." โ€

"Oh, then I'll go." Zou Qi waved his hand.

Sheng Feng asked, "You don't have a gift for her?" โ€

"Nope. I carved a small wooden figure in her image, and planned to give it to her later. โ€

"What about the bookmark, didn't you make one more for her?"

"The bookmark is for you." Obviously there was no one around, Yuan Mu whispered this, Sheng Fengshi endured it for a few seconds, turned his face away, and his lips curled.

The class bell rang, Sheng Feng opened the notebook and entered the work state, Yuan Mu didn't bother her, and also opened the notebook to write a few times from time to time. When the late students came in and saw them, they all clamped their tails and quickly ran to their positions to sit down, and their backs were straight throughout the class, not daring to be distracted, for fear of being called to talk after class.

But after the first class, Sheng Feng took Yuan Mu away directly, and the students were relieved, probably because the students were afraid of the teacher.

Back in the office, Sheng Feng sat for a long time, but the work was in front of him but he didn't move, and his mind was always โ–กโ–ก and restless. As soon as they met this morning, she felt that Yuan Mu's feelings were a little low, but until now, Yuan Mu didn't mean to say anything, and when she looked at Yuan Mu several times, Yuan Mu didn't notice it.

"What happened?" Sheng Feng took the initiative to ask, and his heart said: This is to start working as much as possible.

"Huh?" Yuan Mu looked at Sheng Fengshi, stunned for a moment, his shoulders sank, "The bookmark is broken." โ€

"Broken?"

"Well, the leaves are too tender, there is a lot of moisture, and dry leaves are generally used to make bookmarks, and I wanted to try a new method, but it failed." Yuan Mu didn't explain specifically, and he couldn't understand when he explained Sheng Fengshi, and the result was more important.

Sheng Fengshi nodded: "Did you bring any other leaves?" โ€

"Yes, I brought two pieces with me. There are ready-made materials in the carpentry room, and I will go back at noon to ask others to see if there is any other way. โ€

Sheng Feng asked, "Is it okay to give me a piece?" โ€

Yuan Mu: "If you don't process it, you can't keep it fresh, and the leaves will wilt and dry up." โ€

"It's okay, I don't mind."

But Yuan Mu minded: "This is the first gift I gave you, and I want to keep it for a long time." โ€

"I'll keep it forever, even if it's ugly and broken, I'll keep it."

Hearing Sheng Fengshi's firm words, Yuan Mu was suddenly deeply moved.

"You like me, don't you?"

"Bring the leaves in the afternoon."

Sheng Fengshi lowered his head and no longer made eye contact with Yuan Mu.

Yuan Mu thought that Sheng Fengshi was actually a very warm person, because every time she approached, she would feel hot in her heart.

In the afternoon, Yuan Mu brought a tender green leaf, the size of a palm, intact and flat, very cute, in a simple small wooden box. Sheng Fengshi pinched the petiole with his right thumb and index finger to take it upside down, turned it on both sides, and said to Yuan Mu standing in front of the desk: "Very good-looking." โ€

The corners of Yuan Mu's mouth hooked.

Sheng Feng asked, "Give the box back to you?" โ€

"No, you keep the leaves."

Sheng Fengshi's mind was spinning, and he picked up the box with his left hand: "What's the point?" โ€

Yuan Mu didn't expect that careful thinking would be recognized so quickly, and said honestly: "This is the first box I made, and I will give it to you together." โ€

The small wooden box is well-behaved, there is no pattern, Sheng Feng also likes it in his heart, thinking that one or two are received, so he nodded: "Thank you." โ€

"You're going to class, aren't you?"

"Well, what's the matter?"

Yuan Mu clenched his fists with his hands hanging on his sides: "Can I go with you?" โ€

"Why?"

"Zhao Ge said that he would also follow Teacher Yu to class, click PPT, he said that this is not difficult, just look at the eyes." Yuan Mu saw Sheng Fengshi's questioning eyes and explained, "I met on campus after work at noon. โ€

"Did he ask you first, or did you ask him first?"

"He asked me if I had anything else to do, and I asked him what the teaching assistant could do."

Sheng Fengshi nodded, she was just worried that Yuan Mu would be embarrassed, although intellectually she knew that Zhao Ge didn't have the courage.

Yuan Mu plucked up the courage to ask again, "Can I go to class with you?" โ€

Sheng Fengshi knocked on the table: "Yuan Mu, you are not a real teaching assistant, this identity is temporary, remember." โ€

"I just want to do something for you."

"I don't need help at work."

Yuan Mu nodded: "I'll wait for you to come back." โ€

Sheng Shi Quan turned a deaf ear and packed up his things to go to class.

As if stepping on the point, Sheng Fengshi walked for ten minutes, and Yao Ruoyu touched the door.

"Hello."

"Went to class at the right time, didn't you? I asked her about it last time I had dinner. โ€

"Yes. Do you drink water? โ€

"No, you don't." Yao Ruoyu sat on the two-seater sofa and patted the side, "Come and sit, Teacher Sheng is not here, you are free." I don't think you have any work to do, and the table is so clean. โ€

There were only the two of them in the office, and it was really inappropriate for her to sit so far away, Yuan Mu took the water glass and walked over.

"Hey, wait, don't go that way, come and sit next to me. Do you ask students to sit on a small sofa when you talk to them? It's easy to get closer when you sit together and talk, right? โ€

Yuan Mu ignored her obstruction, sat down and said, "I like this sofa." โ€

Yao Ruoyu had the intention to tease her and moved closer: "Then can I sit down?" โ€

Yuan Mu shook his head.

"I just want to sit here, and if you don't want to, move your little couch away?"

Yuan Mu didn't want to have such a childish conversation, and asked, "You didn't come to me to talk about this, did you?" โ€

"You're wrong, I'm really here to say that. After I finished eating, I suddenly remembered that I had class this afternoon, so I stopped by to see you. โ€

"By the way?"

"Uh...... Not well. Okay, I'll come and talk to you, can't I? โ€

"Okay. But when you talk to me, you don't feel good, and I don't feel well. โ€

"I'm willing to be abused."

Yuan Mu understood, nodded and said, "So that's the case." I thought you were talking to me purposefully, and if you want to tell you, you can say it directly. โ€

Yao Ruoyu is now a little used to being choked, and quickly eased up: "I like to talk like this, you can hear it, okay, if you don't hear it, it doesn't matter." How I say what you listen. โ€

"Then you can say it." Yuan Mu has never met this person, no problem.

Yao Ruoyu's interest was still high: "Do you know who I eat with at noon?" โ€

"I don't know."

"The blind date, an employee of a foreign company, is the best one I have ever seen during this time."

"Oh."

"Blind date, you know? You're too young to have this experience yet. โ€

"Yes. No. โ€

"In a few years, we will have it."

Yuan Mu disagreed in his heart, in order not to hit Yao Ruoyu, he drank saliva and did not say a word.

"Huh? Yuan Mu, have you ever thought about what kind of person you will marry in the future? โ€

"Nope."

"Didn't you think about it when you were a kid?"

"Nope."

Yao Ruoyu was sullen: "Can't you say more?" No, and then what, why not? โ€

"Because I like people."

"Have someone you like? Or do you prefer to be alone? Make it clear. โ€

Yuan Mu was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said, "I like to be alone." Now I have a favorite. After speaking, remembering Yao Ruoyu's complaint just now, Yuan Mu added: "The person I like is Teacher Sheng." โ€

"I know that." Yao Ruoyu continued the previous topic of marriage and asked, "What about your family?" Did your parents push you? They always want you to get married, right? If you still want to live alone after a few years, and your family is stressing you, have you thought about what to do? โ€

Yuan Mu said: "If my dad builds me yรฌ, I will listen, if he puts pressure on me, I will not listen." I'm sure he won't put pressure on me. Why? Because my parents are divorced, my dad told me that his own life is stumbling and he is not able to guide my life, and I ultimately have to decide what kind of life I want to live. He knew it was hard for me to fit in, and he respected me. โ€

"What about your mother?"

"She's dead."

Yao Ruoyu was half sympathetic and half guilty: "I'm sorry." โ€

"No need to apologize."

Yuan Mu was not impressed by his mother, and he was only sad when he mentioned it, not sad.

Yao Ruoyu was silent for a few seconds, and then changed the topic to a more relaxed topic: "Your family is rural, right?" I didn't expect your dad to be so open-minded. โ€

Yuan Mu proposed: "I think my father is open-minded, and it has nothing to do with the fact that my family is rural. โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ You're right. Yao Ruoyu couldn't help but reflect, she didn't go to work for a while, and her speaking level plummeted.

Yuan Mu drank water.

"So now you've decided that you're going to live alone in the future?"

Yuan Mu put down the water glass and frowned, there is no need to decide to live alone, this is the state of nature, and who you want to live with is the decision. But it was not necessary to explain these to Yao Ruoyu, Yuan Mu simply saved: "I have other considerations. โ€

"What considerations?"

"It's a private matter."

Yao Ruoyu stretched out his hand: "Okay, don't ask." โ€

Yuan Mu thought to himself, the chat is almost over here.

Yao Ruoyu: "Let me ask another question, do your 'other considerations' have anything to do with the time?" Okay, I understand your expression, private matters, I won't ask. โ€

After all the words were finished, Yuan Mu was silent.

"Do you eat in the afternoon and at the right time? What was it to shake your head, was it rejected, or didn't ask? โ€

"Didn't ask."

"When she comes back, you ask, if she refuses, you can go to dinner with me, okay?"

Yuan Mu wanted to eat with Sheng Fengshi. With Yao Ruoyu here, Yuan Mu wanted to eat with Sheng Fengshi even more, Yao Ruoyu talked too much, Yuan Mu was not disgusted in his heart, but he was a little afraid. Getting along with Yao Ruoyu is like a fireball circling around him and trying to get closer, even if Yuan Mu is very safe with his own barrier, he is dazzled when he looks at it. In a word: tired.

But except for Sheng Fengshi, Yuan Mu will have the feeling of losing his body when he gets along with anyone, at least Yao Ruoyu is Sheng Fengshi's friend, and Yuan Mu is willing to endure the tiredness to communicate with Yao Ruoyu.

"Okay."

Yuan Mu thought silently: I hope Mr. Sheng agrees to eat together today.
