Chapter 14: His University
Perhaps children's eyes are really the clearest, enough to perceive people's hearts. Adults are always looking for details to support their conjectures, and children rely on their instincts.
Zhou Minggao and Shen Yuanyuan didn't change anything after they started to fall in love, they still talked as before, and they were busy with nothing to do, but those children could still see what and asked them, "Are Teacher Zhou and Teacher Yuan in love?" What's more, he asked directly, "Are Mr. Zhou and Mr. Yuan a family?" ”
Whenever this happens, Shen Yuanyu doesn't know what to answer. She is not a person who can lie, even if she lies to children, she will feel that she can't open her mouth, and then she will give Zhou Minggao a look of help. After Zhou Minggao received the signal for help, he would ask them to stop messing around and write their homework as soon as possible. If they continued to ask, he replied in a flat tone, "We're just friends." ”
One day, after getting off work, Shen Yuan joked that he was thick-skinned, and he never blushed and his heart did not beat when he lied, he said, "You are too serious, and you are embarrassed to lie to children." ”
"What about when the other teachers tease us?" Shen Yuan asked. "You can also prevaricate naturally, and you are not embarrassed at all."
"Who said I wasn't embarrassed." Zhou Minggao said, "That's because you didn't see that my ears were red." ”
Shen Yuan smiled secretly and stopped talking.
Later, Principal Wu also noticed that the two of them often commuted to and from work together, and when the children were not around, they talked and laughed very closely, so he privately asked about the relationship between Shen Yuanyuan and Zhou Minggao. Shen Yuanyuan didn't deny it, she said that she was indeed with Zhou Minggao.
"Did you know each other before?" Principal Wu asked.
Shen Yuan shook his head. "I only came into contact with it after I came here. Although the time is short, they like each other, and they will be together after making it clear. ”
Principal Wu looked at her a little restrained and smiled, "It's good, it's the best time for you to fall in love." Just don't be too intimate during working hours, otherwise those children will mention it to their parents when they come home, and the parents will be dissatisfied. ”
Shen Yuan let out a heavy "um". "Teacher Wu, don't worry, we are measured."
Principal Wu nodded, "That's good." By the way, I remember that you lived with your father, did your father know that you were in love with him? You're not too young, he won't object, you can ask him to help with the reference. ”
Shen Yuan was silent for a while, and replied, "My father would be very happy if he knew, he said before that as long as I like him, he will be satisfied." It's a pity that he has passed away, in my junior year of high school. ”
Principal Wu sighed, and then sighed, "The dead are gone, and the living are like this." And he said, "Then you must pay attention to yourself, and do not suffer losses." But I look at Xiao Zhou quite steady, how many years older is he than you, right? ”
"Three years older."
Principal Wu nodded again. "It's good to have someone take care of you."
Shen Yuanxuan thought to herself, rather than being taken care of, she wanted to be a person who could share joys and sorrows with Zhou Minggao. But she understood that Principal Wu felt sorry for her, so naturally she didn't say anything to refute it.
The person who reacted the most after learning the news of Zhou Minggao and Shen Yuanyuan's love affair was Xiao Ranran, and she even threatened to go to Shen Minggao's city to find her during the May Day holiday, "I have to see what this Zhou Minggao looks like, I don't even know what he looks like, why have you already informed me that you are together?" Do you not have me as a friend in your heart! ”
"So all you care about is whether he's good-looking?" Shen Yuanxuan deliberately spoke poorly.
Xiao Ranran fried hair. "Of course not! I'm going to see what kind of people are turning you into irrationality. ”
"Why am I out of my mind?"
"Just because he owes money outside, I can be firmly against you being together. It's not a question of whether he has money or not, it's that the incident itself is very unfavorable, and if he can do it once, we have reason to suspect that he will do it a second or third time. "It's like gambling." ”
Shen replied weakly, "It's still very different from gambling." In addition, she didn't know what to defend Zhou Minggao. To be honest, she herself felt in her heart that this was a sign that this was a person who was not very reliable. Not being able to manage one's wealth well is just as good as not being able to manage one's time well, which proves that a person has poor self-control and does not discipline himself. As for why she chose to be with Zhou Minggao even though she knew about him, she couldn't tell.
It's like fate - but who else can say this kind of sour words to anyone except two people in love who believe it.
After all, the matter of owing money is Zhou Minggao's private matter, and Shen Yuanyuan only told Xiao Ranran after seeking Zhou Minggao's consent, and did not tell other friends. So other friends didn't react much except for being a little surprised when they learned that she was in love, but they still reminded her, "If you get together so soon, you still have to be careful, after all, you don't know what kind of person he is." ”
In general, after the news of the relationship was made public, Shen Yuanyuan gained more doubts than blessings. Although I knew in my heart that everyone was worried about her and cared about her, I was inevitably a little depressed. This Saturday, the student brought by Zhou Minggao had something to do, so he didn't have to go to make up the class, so Shen Yuanyuan went to his school to find him. She told him about her friends' reactions, and her tone was sullen.
He listened patiently to her about her little troubles, and then said, "They are right, you really have to be careful of me, after all, we have known each other for a short time. They are really friends when they do this, and if they don't ask anything and bless them directly, they don't take you to heart. ”
"That's what you say...... But I still feel a little sad. Shen Yuanxuan said, "I know you're not a bad person, but I can't make others believe it." ”
Zhou Minggao smiled. "Are you a child? Judging a person is only defined by good guys and bad guys. ”
“...... You know I didn't mean that. I just really want everyone to like you. ”
"Everybody likes me, aren't you jealous?"
“...... You know I didn't mean that. ”
They were walking and talking in the school corridor, and by this time they had already walked to the self-study area, and many students were studying quietly in their seats. The two of them closed their mouths consciously, and after exchanging glances, they sat down at the nearest empty table. Zhou Minggao took out the headphones, gave the right earphones to Shen Yuanyuan, and sat side by side with her to listen to the song.
"I went to the vending machine to buy coffee, what do you drink?" Zhou Minggao typed this sentence on the mobile phone screen and showed it to Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan smiled - there was a feeling of a primary school student passing a note.
She took Zhou Minggao's mobile phone, adjusted his twenty-six key input method to the nine-key one she was used to, and typed: Coke.
Zhou Minggao gave her an "OK" gesture and walked in the direction of the vending machine. There were quite a few people in line, and it took him a while to come back. When he sat down next to Shen Yuanyuan again, Shen Yuanyuan looked at his side face, and suddenly had the idea of kissing him.
But it's very cowardly.
struggled in her heart for a while, and in the end, the idea of "this is my boyfriend" still prevailed over "I am very cowardly", and she made up her mind to kiss Zhou Minggao's face. As a result, at the moment when she was about to make a move, Zhou Minggao turned his head and kissed her on the face. She looked at Zhou Minggao in surprise, but he just smiled and didn't look nervous at all.
How can this level of tacit understanding be explained? Shen Yuanxuan thought about it in his heart for a long time but couldn't answer. But he couldn't ask him "How do you know I want to kiss you" or "Why did you suddenly kiss me" and feel embarrassed to think about it, Shen Yuanyuan had to silently extinguish his curiosity.
After sitting in the self-study area of the corridor for a while, Zhou Minggao typed on his mobile phone again, and then handed it to Shen Yuanyuan to read.
He said: "There is no need to be anxious, there is no need to speak for me in a hurry, everything has to have a process." Trust me, it won't be long before the doubts turn into blessings, so get ready for them. ”
Later, the number of people gradually increased. Shen Yuanyuan and Zhou Minggao were embarrassed to occupy their seats without studying, so they moved to other places.
Zhou Minggao's school is not very large, and each building has its own "code", such as: AA, BA A, and so on. Shen Yuanxuan listened to his introduction and only felt dizzy, she sighed that the design of their school was very strange, but he said that such a design was obviously quite clear, but she was too idiotic.
There is a small artificial lake in the middle of the school, and there are several creatures swimming in the lake that I don't know if they are swans or geese. Probably because people passing by often give them food, they don't seem to be afraid of people at all, and when they see Shen Yuan approaching, they even dare to swim over directly. As soon as Shen Yuanyuan squatted down and tried to "communicate" with them, she was thrown into the water by the leading one, and Zhou Minggao stood next to her and laughed at her.
Shen Yuan pretended to be angry and stood up, and walked forward without saying a word. As she walked, she looked back - Zhou Minggao really followed quickly behind her.
Walking a little further from the lake, you can see a large cage with a few peacocks. Shen Yuan walked closer, and one of the peacocks opened the screen and took a few steps proudly.
She turned around and said to Zhou Minggao, "No, are you a school or a zoo?" ”
"Because there are always outsiders coming to visit, the school has raised a few special ones."
It is true that this school is often visited by outsiders, and there are quite a few black exchange students from other countries. Shen Yuanyuan obviously lives very close, but he has never been in for so many years, and the first time he came in was after meeting Zhou Minggao. When she was a child, she always said that she didn't like her hometown and wanted to go to a distant place, and she resolutely refused to go to a school in the province, let alone a university so close to her home - this was completely out of her consideration. But later, she really realized what she said, and after she went to a distant place, she began to slowly discover the goodness of her hometown.
When they are young, people always don't want to become middle-aged people who seem to be content with the status quo, and when they reach middle age, they will sigh that they wasted their time when they were young. But even if there is a time machine that allows people to see themselves when they were children, they will not change anything, and no one will listen to them. You always have to really walk through it to know which kind of life you love more.
