It is the height of summer in July, and the fresh air in the mountains can hardly resist the arrival of heat, and a heat wave gradually rises. The sun was blazing, there was no wind, the crops in the fields were wilting, the cicadas were constantly singing on the branches, and the students without air-conditioning fans were also listless.

It has been half a month since they came to Qiongchuan Town, and today is the hottest day in so many days, and several leading teachers took into account their discomfort and in order to prevent heat stroke, so they canceled today's task and took them to a shady place to carry out an informal personal impression symposium on mid-term practical research activities.

The students were quite happy about that. Compared to the hot day, over the mountains and mountains to practice, sweating and smelly, now like this, sitting in the shade, shaking the fan in your hand, occasionally moving your mouth, drinking cool ice water, isn't it happy!

"You see these children are fully equipped, hand-cranked electric fans, cooling treasures, cooling stickers, cooling sprays, everything." Teacher Li said to Lu Zhaoyu, looked at the pu fan in his hand again, and sighed, "We only have this one from Mayor Wang's house, it's really old!" ”

Lu Zhaoyu frowned and kept looking somewhere, and when he heard the last sentence said by the person next to him, he suddenly replied lightly: "I'm not old." ”

Teacher Li glanced at the person beside him, with thick black hair and a flat lower abdomen, and then looked at his increasingly prominent belly, touched the thinning hair, and had to admit: "You are not old, alas! It's that I'm old. ”

The only female teacher next to her covered her mouth and laughed, and quipped: "You are not old, Professor Li, you are like the sun, and Professor Lu is the rising sun." ”

"Hahaha, Xiao Chen can still speak." Teacher Li laughed heartily.

Teacher Xu, who had not spoken, also hooked his lips and smiled, and suddenly said to Lu Zhaoyu: "What are you looking at, why do you look so serious." ”

"I didn't look at anything, I thought of my disobedient flowers."

Teacher Xu was shocked: "How can the flower be disobedient?" ”

"She blossomed in my absence."

"What kind of flowers do you have?"

"Hibiscus flower" Lu Zhaoyu slowly spit out three words.

"It's rare to see people who raise this flower. I'll take care of it next time. ”

"Don't raise it." Lu Zhaoyu said in a low voice.

"Why can't I raise it? Tell me why. Teacher Xu was not convinced.

"It takes patience to raise her, but also to pamper, keep the indoor temperature at about 10 °C, prune the diseased branches in time, keep the sun sufficient, the pot can not accumulate water, the soil is kept aerating, and you have to go to see it often if you have nothing to do, can you do it?" Lu Zhaoyu spoke eloquently, with a hint of deep meaning hidden in his eyes.

"It's troublesome enough, I'd better keep a pot of cactus." After listening to the words of the people next to him, Mr. Xu hurriedly retreated and waved his hand again and again.

"That's right, no one is better suited to raise her than me." The man's thin lips opened and closed slightly, and then turned his head to look somewhere ahead.

Several leading teachers walked towards the students in their own group, and Lu Zhaoyu sat somewhere, somewhere there was a lot of distance between a boy and a girl.

Suddenly there was another person on her side, Shu Jin not only smelled the clear breath of the man, but also felt a strong sense of oppression coming from beside her, she turned her head a little unaccustomedly, and suddenly bumped into Wu Huan's narrow gaze, and she even winked at her with deep meaning.

In the midst of the cacophony, the magnetic voice of the man beside her suddenly fell low to her ears.

"How do you wear pants that short?" Lu Zhaoyu saw the girl's fair and slender legs from a distance, just cross-legged and bent. Now when he looked closely, the black hot pants lined the skin tone of his thighs more and more white and shiny, he could even see clumps of blue veins floating under her skin, and his kneecaps were so small that he could hold two in one hand.

"It's hot." Shu Jin lowered her head and said softly.

Lu Zhaoyu also understood that what he asked was nonsense, but as soon as he caught these boys looking at the little girl from time to time, wisps of displeasure began to spread in his heart.

So, in the next second, he made an action that he didn't expect.

The man sat forward slightly, and leaned forward a little, almost covering most of Shu Jin, including her legs.

Blocking the boys' view, he was finally satisfied.

"......" Wu Huan is dumbfounded, Professor Lu's possessiveness is quite okay.

"......" Shu Jin was stunned, why did Professor Lu block her?

The two of them were speechless for a while, and several girls on the other side chattered non-stop from Lu Zhaoyu as soon as they arrived.

"That Professor Lu is really handsome, especially when he frowned, the sense of abstinence on his body was simply bursting, and it was really better to see it than to hear it." A certain first-year imaging girl held her cheeks and said to the people around her.

"yes, it's a pity we can't get into his group." The person next to him chimed in.

"I really envy the two girls who followed him, especially the one sitting next to him now. As soon as I imagined Professor Lu sitting next to me, I could reach out and reach him, and when I raised my eyes, I could see his charming side face like a sculpture, and I could smell the ascetic aura of his body when I took a deep breath. Oh my God, then I'm really going to get drunk, in case I fall into Professor Lu's arms and be hugged by him......"

The girl covered her somewhat flushed face and shook her head, "The picture is too beautiful to imagine." ”

"Yes, you have a big brain to write a novel." Another girl gave her a thumbs up.

"I've won awards, I've read too many novels recently, I'm too obsessed with men like Professor Lu."

"Hahaha, let's feast our eyes, who hasn't seen the things about Professor Lu on the top of the big sticker! Who dares to put a tiger's beard on his mouth. ”

"That's right, I'm also quite curious, you said that Professor Lu has such a face, his temperament is serious and indifferent, and he refuses to chase it properly, and it is impossible to take the initiative to chase it, isn't it going to be a lonely life?"

"The flower of kaolin, naturally, is fragrant alone, and those I can't get can't get it from others, isn't it good?"

"Yes, yes, Professor Lu is still single for the rest of his life!"

“......”

The sun is setting, but also take away a piece of heat, at this moment when the moon is in the sky, the heat in the mountains is gradually blown away by the breeze, with a little coolness and comfort.

There are two people walking slowly in the field, one high and one low, one in front and one behind, quiet, harmonious and peaceful.

Back 15 minutes ago, Shu Jin was chatting with Wu Huan, when suddenly her phone lit up, and she didn't pay attention. It didn't take long for it to shine on again.

She took it and saw that it was a text message, and after clicking on it, three messages popped up in a row.

19:30 "Come out and go out for a walk with me."

19:31 "Don't say no."

19:31 "The more we spend time with you, the better you will examine me."

The above text messages are all from one person - Professor Lu.

Seeing that Shu Jin was stunned for a long time holding the mobile phone, Wu Huan curiously leaned in.

"Little ...... you look at" Before he finished speaking, Wu Huan's eyes widened as he stared at the screen, and after a pause, he said funny, "Look at your Professor Lu's undeniable tone, hurry up!" ”

Shu Jin pinched his phone, looked at Wu Huan, pursed his lips and said seriously: "He is not from my family." ”

"Yes, it won't be long before you're from his family." Wu Huan nodded and teased.

The girl turned her head away and stopped looking at her.

"A little shy?"

The girl was silent and didn't speak, and Wu Huan only acquiesced to her.

"Okay, stop the ink, hurry up and go out to find Professor Lu!" Wu Huan pushed the girl to the door and told him again, "Remember to come back early." ”

As soon as Shu Jin pushed open the door, he saw a man with one hand in his pocket under the tree.

He stood there in a simple short-sleeved trousers, his deep dark eyes fixed on her.

"Not yet? The distance between you and me is now well over 25cm. The man's gentle voice came low.

The girl pursed her lips and slowly walked to the man's side, raised her head and called "Professor Lu".

Lu Zhaoyu frowned, this title sounds quite uncomfortable now, but thinking that the little girl is still restrained by him now, and he is also in the middle of the investigation period, let's call her like this first! Sooner or later, she'll get rid of it.

"Hmm" So the two walked out, and no one spoke for a while.

The first to speak was Lu Zhaoyu, who stopped and turned his head slightly to look at the girl: "Why don't you go side by side with me?" ”

"I don't fit in." The girl pursed her lips and said.

"Now it's for you to go from not adapting to adapting, you've been like this, how can you examine me?"

After a pause, the man said slowly, "Or am I letting you force you to adapt?" ”

Shu Jin can still understand and agree with the words of the first half, she thinks that she really wants to change, but she doesn't understand the "forced adaptation" of the second half.

So, she pursed her lips and looked up at him in silence.

In the next second, her body was light, and she was suddenly picked up by the man, like a child, with one hand on her back to protect her, and the other hand to hold the crook of her leg.

The girl exclaimed, the previous height gap between the two was completely reversed, and at this moment she looked down at him and said, "Professor Lu, what are you doing?" ”

"I'm fulfilling my promise to you, and you're tired of looking up, so I'm picking you up." The man's eyebrows were calm, and he raised his head slightly in a serious manner and said to her.

Shu Jin pursed her lips and didn't speak.

Such a height has broadened her horizons a lot, although she can't see anything clearly at night, but this is a height she has never experienced, her father did not give it to her, but Professor Lu gave her, so warm and secure,

It's like holding a child.

This is what she envied when she was a child, every time she saw a father on the street holding his child like this, and the child's small hand obediently wrapped around his father's neck, her eyes would not be taken off, looking at her father's pampering eyes, the child's happy smile, and kept watching them until they disappeared from her field of vision.

No one noticed that the little girl had boundless longing in her eyes.

"Thank you, Professor Lu." She suddenly leaned down a little and put her arms around the man's neck.

Lu Zhaoyu was a little surprised by the girl's sudden movements, he thought that she had been a little resistant because she hadn't spoken, and was thinking about whether he should let her go, but he didn't expect her to suddenly hug him, and thank him in a muffled voice.

From surprise to joy, but in a short moment, then he realized that something was wrong with the girl, and asked tentatively, "Thank me for what?" ”

"Thank you for fulfilling my childhood dream, and thank you for letting me experience this kind of hugging." The girl said in a light voice, and added, "Like a father holding a child." ”

Listening to every word the girl said made his heart sink, he always knew that she must have experienced something prematurely, was it the loss of her father at an early age? He couldn't ask, he couldn't uncover her scars.

So his hand on the girl's back tightened a little, hugged the girl tightly, and gave her more warmth.

In a very deep and hoarse voice, he firmly and sincerely whispered to her ear: "Hibiscus, I can be your friend, your teacher, your brother, your lover, and even occasionally play the role of a father, giving you the missing favor in childhood, giving you the love when you are frustrated and sad, giving you the love when you are sad and crying, giving you the joy of mutual affection, guiding you, protecting you, taking care of you, and most importantly, I will always love you." I can't cover the first 18 years of your life, but I will be with you for the rest of your life until the end of my life. ”

The girl listened carefully, feeling the man's thin lips brushing her ears from time to time, and heard him call her "Hibiscus", a nickname that no one had ever called; Listen to him say many, many things that moved her.

She rested her chin on the man's broad shoulder, and a hand was taken from his neck and slowly placed on her chest, where her heart was beating like a drum, and it was beating so hard that it had never been faster.

Is her heart beating fast because of his words? She also has feelings for him? Is it the relationship between a man and a woman?
