Chapter 378: Once
As soon as he returned home, Mr. Rhodes was very enthusiastic about the various exhibits at home, including his collection of various Chinese and foreign books, many of which were translated and published by himself, and some ancient and modern Chinese and foreign playthings, most of which were bought back at the auction according to their own preferences.
Federo and Zhong Shu had already seen Mr. Rod's collecting habits, and they were not surprised by it, but chatted with each other about their experiences in the past few years, and followed closely behind Mr. Rod.
When the four of them arrived in the study, they really opened the conversation, and Mr. Luo asked Xie Suichen a lot of things he was curious about, especially about the relationship between him and Zhong Shu.
"So Zhong Shu became a teacher at the university?"
When mentioning Zhong Shu's experience in the past few years, even Federo was amazed, he didn't expect that in just a few years, his junior sister had changed so many jobs, and even experienced a lot of things, compared to her, his resume was a little pale.
"And what are you doing now?"
Teacher Rhodes asked the man in front of him curiously, he could see that Xie Suichen's views on his exhibits were very unique, and even sometimes he was ashamed of himself, so he was sure that he was not a general, and it could be seen from his words and deeds.
So Rod was also a little curious about this person's profession.
"Now I'm running my own company."
Xie Suichen replied more modestly, in fact, he is not just running a company, and even how many companies in the city are acting on his face, which Mr. Rhodes can also see.
"Can you tell me which company it is? Ah, it's okay if you don't want to say it, I'm just curious. ”
Teacher Rhodes asked with a smile.
It can be seen that this teacher cares about his students very much, and he also has the side of an old naughty boy, and Xie Suichen does not reject him.
While he handed over the teacup, he also chatted about his identity without hesitation, "Well, I am now the head of Mingche Company. ”
As soon as Xie Suichen said this, Mr. Rhodes' hand holding the teacup trembled, "I didn't see it, it turns out that you are so capable, and I am still a little disrespectful to say this." ”
In order to hide his embarrassment just now, Mr. Rhodes smiled indifferently, he didn't expect that the person in front of him was a figure who was famous in news reports.
"Then you and Zhong Shu...... How did the two meet? As far as I know, it seems like you two have known each other for a long time? ”
Teacher Rhodes asked, but his eyes were looking at Zhong Shu on the side.
This sentence was obviously what Zhong Shu once said to him.
Hearing Teacher Rhodes ask this, a little tenderness flashed between Xie Suichen's eyebrows, and the shaking person was a little stunned, only to hear him reply in a somewhat magnetic voice: "Yes, the two of us have known each other since we were very young."
Zhong Shu felt Xie Suichen's gaze, turned his head at the same time, and lowered his head embarrassedly because of the pampering in Xie Suichen's eyes, "That was a long time ago, why do you ask this, teacher!"
Seeing that Zhong Shu was a little embarrassed, Rod pretended to cough twice, and was said by his own students, as if he was a little disrespectful to the old, which made him a little helpless, but he couldn't resist the trend of curiosity, so he had to defend: "The ancients have said, childhood sweethearts, two little guesses, the teacher himself doesn't have the energy, can't he ask?"
Zhong Shu had no choice but to turn his head away, but Federo was attracted by the topic, his eyes were firmly fixed on Xie Suichen on the side, as if he wanted to see something through his facial expression.
"If you really want to talk about it, it's not impossible."
Xie Suichen has never mentioned the two of them when they were young, and in his opinion, this is a unique memory that the two of them have with each other. But today, he has a bit of a desire to talk.
Teacher Rhodes has always been like an old naughty boy, as soon as he heard that this matter could be told, he immediately cheered up, and his eyes were shining, waiting for Xie Suichen to tell the story.
"When I was 10 years old, I was a bit naughty and hung out with kids my age and ended up being bullied. At that time, I was still a little fat man, no one wanted to play with me, but no one was willing to give up their lives to save me, I thought it was like that, but I didn't expect the destined person to appear, it was when I was most embarrassed, but now in retrospect, I still think that the day I met you, was the luckiest day for me. ”
Xie Suichen's story was not particularly detailed, but it did reveal the experience of the two people to the person in front of him.
Facing his senior brother's inquiring eyes, Zhong Shu, who was a little blushing by Xie Suichen's words on the side, finally nodded embarrassedly.
Xie Suichen was indeed a little fat man back then, if he hadn't said it himself later, she wouldn't even recognize it now, the person in front of her was the same person as the little fat man back then.
Because the difference between the two is simply too great.
"What I remember most clearly is that although Zhong Shu was also a child, he was obviously scared, but he endured it and rescued me. At that time, I was thinking, it's over, I've planted it in my life, and this little girl is mine. So in the days that followed, I never gave up looking for her until the day the two of us met again. ”
Xie Suichen rarely said such things in front of others, even in front of Zhong Shu, but today he actually said everything that had been pressed in his heart for so many years in front of his teacher and his senior brother.
Not only Zhong Shu was a little surprised in his heart, but even Xie Suichen himself couldn't believe that after so many years, he would still tell his true words completely.
This paragraph seems to be said to Mr. Rod, but it is more like a confession to Zhong Shu, and the listeners are a little red-faced.
Teacher Rhodes listened with tears in his eyes, what a childhood sweetheart, two little guesses, but he prevaricated an excuse, but he didn't expect it to really lead to a good story, which made him a little moved when he listened.
He had always known that his student was a kind person, but he didn't expect Zhong Shu to be so brave in his bones.
But for Federo on the side, although this passage was very moving, it also made him feel a slight tingle in his heart, making him feel a little lost, as if he was very disappointed that the protagonist in the story was not him.
"Everything Xie Suichen said is true? Why is the story of the two of you so similar to the plot written in it? ”
In the face of Federo's quiet questioning, Zhong Shu raised his head and nodded slightly, "What he said is true, but I didn't expect him to think that at the time." ”
What do you think? When she rescued Xie Suichen, she didn't have time to think about other things, and she didn't expect that because of an accidental rescue, the fate of the two people was entangled, and Xie Suichen, since she was only ten years old, had already identified her?
Thinking of the minutes and seconds that the two of them had been together before, Zhong Shu felt infinite happiness and touch, the two of them looked at each other, and each other seemed to believe that they were the ones who could go hand in hand to the white head.
"I didn't expect that I would be able to lead to such a touching story just by asking casually. I'm going to have to write about it in my diary, not only in my diary, but even in the book I'm just about to publish, if both of you agree. ”
Zhong Shu helped her forehead, Teacher Rhodes's penchant for writing has been committed again, but she has never had any opinions on this kind of thing, this matter mainly depends on Xie Suichen's meaning, so she turned her head and looked at Xie Suichen, who was sitting opposite Mr. Rhodes.
"You can write it, no problem."
Since everything has been said, there is nothing to hide, Xie Suichen agreed very generously at this time.
When Mr. Rhodes saw this, his heart immediately became happy, and he even began to think about the layout of the whole article in his thoughts, preparing to write this moving love story to all over the world.
"Then you have to tell me about the specific details, I want to write a real photo love collection. Let's eat at my house at noon today, how about trying my handiwork? ”
Mr. Rhodes was obviously very excited, and as he danced, he did not forget to invite the three of them to stay in his home and show off the cooking skills he had cultivated over the years.
Zhong Shu actually didn't have this idea, and his visit to Mr. Rhodes' house had already delayed his old man's time, so why was he embarrassed to eat at his house again?
Besides, when she came today, she was completely empty-handed and didn't bring anything, so she shook her head slightly, "Let's not eat here, I've delayed a lot of your time today, teacher, if you eat at home again, I don't think I can't go." ”
Federo immediately followed, "Yes, teacher, let's talk about it next time." ”
But Teacher Luo didn't mean to let go at all, listening to the words of his two students, he shook his head unhappily, "After such a long time, I haven't met with my two students, and we have only been chatting for less than a morning, and you two are in such a hurry to leave?" How embarrassing is this for me as a teacher? Let's just eat here, the dishes at home were all just bought today, and I couldn't finish them alone. That's it. ”
After that, without waiting for a few people to react, he walked out of the study on his own and walked towards the kitchen with happy steps.
There is no way, Zhong Shu and Federo looked at the appearance of their mentor, and they knew that his foodie attribute had been committed again. Because her mentor was really enthusiastic, she could only comply with his request and nodded to Xie Suichen opposite, "There's nothing wrong with your company, right?" So we're going to eat here at noon today? ”
Xie Suichen personally still likes this teacher very much, so naturally he has no opinions. Since this was the case, Federo had no choice but to suppress his mood and stay with the two of them.
