Chapter 11: Birthday

I have been in this village for a few days, and I watch Ai Qi go to teach the children and play with them every day.

There was no disgust or impatience in his eyes at all.

"Why would you want to teach here?" Zhou Hao asked the question that had puzzled him all along.

The lady of the upper class is a little incompatible with thinking about it.

It's like two parallel lines that don't intersect at all.

Ai Qian looked at Professor Zhang, who was mingling with the children not far away, "That's the reason." ”

Ai Jin was in the junior class of Imperial Capital University, and she was 13 years old at that time, with an innate sense of superiority.

I don't want to be so gentle and patient with people, but I am a little arrogant.

It was Professor Zhang in front of her who taught her.

Later, when she received her bachelor's degree, Professor Zhang said that he would give her a gift to celebrate her graduation, so she was brought here by Professor Zhang to teach.

As an undergraduate graduate of a university or a student in the junior class, he was mixed into the teaching team, and the other teachers naturally had no opinions.

"At the beginning, I was just like you, I was shocked by the environment here, and I couldn't adapt to it." I couldn't help but laugh when I thought that I was tricked here by my teacher at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

"The villagers here are really simple and nice, and after knowing that I am not very used to it, they try their best to make my stay more comfortable."

At that time, they took out their quilts that they would only use for the New Year and hung them under the sun, and waited until the evening to spread them for Ai Wan.

With the smell of grass and sunshine, Ai Jin remembers that night, she slept soundly.

"When I leave here, I will still think about this place, the villagers here, and the children here."

She was touched by the hospitality, warmth and simplicity of the villagers, and the members of the teaching support group of Imperial Capital University basically had her every year.

Zhou Hao nodded thoughtfully after listening.

"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere." With that, Zhou Hao took Ai Qian to the front of a room.

Ai Wan frowned, her instinct telling her that there was something wrong with this.

She asked cautiously, "There won't be anyone standing behind the door, wait for me to go in, so as to scare me." ”

"No, it won't." Zhou Hao was a little helpless.

"Really, won't?" Ai Wan hesitated, she was timid, and what she was most afraid of was this kind of scary thing.

"Let's go inside." Zhou Hao looked at Ai Qian expectantly.

Ai Wan felt more and more that there must be something wrong here.

He knocked politely on the door, then cautiously stepped back from the door and took a tentative step in.

Well, there is no danger.

The other foot stepped in.

It was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen.

Subconsciously looked behind the door, but there was no one there.

She began to wonder, what did Zhou Hao want her to watch?

This move made Zhou Hao a little crying and laughing, how low his credibility was.

Seeing her walk in with both feet, Zhou Hao also followed.

Ai Jin watched Zhou Hao close the door.

It's really closed.

There was darkness in front of me, and I couldn't see my fingers.

"Look." As soon as Zhou Hao's words fell, the surroundings were bright.

She saw a birthday cake on the table in front of them.

"Happy birthday."

"You ......" Ai Qian was a little moved, and didn't know what to say.

"The cake is a little simple, I just made it, it's all the ingredients I brought myself, just borrowed from their kitchen."

Early in the morning, while Ai Jin was going to class, he asked a neighbor to borrow their kitchen.

Zhou Hao, who had never burned firewood, was choked enough by this, but fortunately, the neighbor couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to help.

Although it was the first time that the cake was steamed with firewood, the final product was quite good.

The neighbor was frightened when he saw his pile of ingredients, and he was worried that there was nothing to make cakes here.

As it turned out, he was right.

Looking at Ai Wan's current appearance, I remembered that when I first set off, my dead friend laughed at him when he saw what he was carrying.

I think it's worth it.

The time of volunteering has always conflicted with her birthday.

So since she was sixteen or seventeen, she hasn't had another birthday.

The teacher in the same group wanted to give it to her, but she rejected it because it was too much trouble.

As for the eighteenth birthday, which is called very important?

I'm sorry, but their family is more traditional, and she already performed the Gua Rite when she was fifteen years old, which is the so-called coming-of-age ceremony.

Zhou Hao should be the same, he should be 20 years old when he is 20 years old, this is the tradition of their families.

She thought carefully about what had happened before, and suddenly thought of a possibility.

Zhou Hao didn't come here specifically to celebrate her birthday.

"You won't be ......"

Zhou Hao interrupted what she was about to say, "Just know it in your heart, you don't have to say it." ”

"Why ......"

"I said I liked you." Zhou Hao smiled lightly.

"Aren't we pretending to be a couple? How could you like me? Ai Wan was a little confused.

"That's what you think, I never said I didn't dislike you."

He was worried that if he didn't confess directly, the little girl would treat him as a brother.
