Chapter 35: Gathering

In the golden autumn of September, the sun is no longer as hot as midsummer, and the autumn breeze brings a hint of coolness, indicating that the heat has passed and is about to enter winter. Soon after the start of school, the Mid-Autumn Festival will soon be ushered in, since the relationship between Qin Xiaotian and Yuan Dutian was made public, it has been criticized a lot, but Yuan Dutian said that he didn't need to pay attention to it, and Qin Xiaotian stopped paying attention to it. Tian Li and Hu Xiaojuan, two curious babies, always wanted to find an opportunity to tease the couple, so they asked that the sisters in the dormitory should treat each other if they had a boyfriend to show their respect for the sisters in the dormitory, so Qin Xiaotian had to tell Yuan Dutian truthfully. Who knew that Yuan Dutian was not surprised at all, let alone twisted, and immediately agreed and said that this was the way it should be, and asked Qin Xiaotian to ask Hu Xiaojuan and Tian Li to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. After the two curious babies got the news, they cheered, and then excitedly shouted that they wanted to bring Senior Brother Rong and Chen Shaoyu, so that even if it was a reunion in the dormitory, Qin Xiaotian was also looking forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Qin Xiaotian still went to the newspaper for an internship when he didn't have classes, and he could see Na Chunming when he was in professional classes, but there always seemed to be something between them, even if they were not far apart, it seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. Qin Xiaotian wanted to cross the distance of thousands of mountains and rivers and get closer to Na Chunming, even if he was an ordinary friend, but Na Chunming's eyes were so hurt when she looked at her, how could she ignore his mood and thoughts anymore. She can only wait, she has hope in her heart, hoping that Chunming will let go of her heart and figure it out, she expects them to become friends again. The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qin Xiaotian plucked up the courage and took the initiative to send a greeting text message to Na Chunming, she received: Thank you, and I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, a corner of his heart seemed to hear the ticking sound of melting ice and snow, he said you, does that prove that he has accepted the reality that she and Yuan Dutian are together, he is willing to reply to her text message, is it understandable that he does not dislike her, she is so grateful to that Chunming, if this is true, then she is willing to break the last layer of ice and usher in the spring of the recovery of all things.

It was on this day that Qin Xiaotian met an uninvited guest on the road - Xiao Ruohan.

Qin Xiaotian was stopped by Xiao Ruohan on the way back to the dormitory from the cafeteria at night, and she estimated that Xiao Ruohan had been eyeing her when she was in the cafeteria. Xiao Ruohan didn't hesitate at all, stopped Qin Xiaotian not far from the door of the cafeteria, and asked Qin Xiaotian to go with her in a cold tone. turned around and walked towards Ginkgo Road, Qin Xiaotian didn't know what was going on, the ghost really followed her, and then she scolded herself for being stupid, she told herself to go? How not enough is this pig's brain, she can not follow her at all, but there is no way, Qin Xiaotian's brain is sometimes easy to short-circuit.

Coming to a secluded place, Xiao Ruohan's star-like eyes revealed a resentful emotion, but her expression was still cold and arrogant, she called Qin Xiaotian's name directly, and then said, "I'm Xiao Ruohan." Qin Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know." You're a law school girl, I've seen it before. ”

"It's good to know, then I won't talk nonsense, get straight to the point." Xiao Ruohan didn't give Qin Xiaotian a chance to speak, and his aggressive momentum made Qin Xiaotian's palms sweat.

"You're getting along with Teacher Yuan, aren't you?" Qin Xiaotian nodded mechanically. "I didn't ask you, you don't have to reply to me." Xiao Ruohan said fiercely, his eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness. Qin Xiaotian was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak out, this person is sick, obviously she asked first, why did she say that she didn't ask me?

Xiao Ruohan looked at this girl who was at least 5 cm shorter than herself, with an average appearance and an ordinary dress from head to toe, and the unwillingness in her heart became more and more intense. She didn't want to hear a girl who was worse than herself say that she was with Yuan Dutian, which was a humiliating and indelible blow to her.

"I don't think Mr. Yuan's feelings for you will last long, he is so good that he should be matched with an excellent person, and you don't feel ashamed to stand by his side like this?" Xiao Ruohan suppressed her urge to go up and slap Qin Xiaotian twice, she deeply blamed herself and regretted it, she should have taken the initiative and confessed earlier, maybe, there would be nothing wrong with Qin Xiaotian. But the matter has come to this, what else can she do, she can only vent the dissatisfaction in her heart, at this moment, she hates herself a little, she has never done this kind of thing, only others have revolved around her, when has she ever done such a self-lowering thing.

At the mention of embarrassment, a burst of blood surged in Qin Xiaotian's chest, what happened to her? Although she is not as good as Yuan Dutian and not as beautiful as Xiao Ruohan, she can grow up from childhood to adulthood, she is also a good student, a good girl in the eyes of others, she has never felt ashamed, why should she endure the attack of a woman who has nothing to do with her. The characteristics of being strong when he is strong made Qin Xiaotian instantly full of fighting spirit, and he did not hesitate to ridicule him: "Xiao Meinu, I am not as beautiful and excellent as you, but I don't think I am bad, and I never feel that I have embarrassed my family and others." ”

When Xiao Ruohan heard this, her blushing face turned white, and she ridiculed Qin Xiaotian in a tone full of contempt: "Don't you feel ashamed? I hope you can always be so confident. But how do I think that one day, you will feel ashamed of yourself? Many of our law school students think that you are not worthy of Teacher Yuan at all, and Teacher Yuan may not really like you, maybe as soon as the novelty passes, he will throw you aside, and you will have to look at it yourself. ”

"Why should I look at him? It's me who can't run away, and as for whether he throws me or not, it's not up to him to decide, besides, even if we separate one day, it's our own business, and we don't need others to worry about it. Qin Xiaotian didn't have enough confidence in her heart when she said this, she hadn't been worried, but she couldn't lose in momentum, so she had a hard head.

Xiao Ruohan showed her neat white teeth and sneered twice: "Hmph, I want to see how long you can be proud, I'm not interested in worrying about you, I'm just kindly reminding you." Teacher Yuan is not such an easy person to catch, there are many people who covet him, there is no more than me, no less than me, but even if only one person is looking at Teacher Yuan, I am afraid your life will not be easy, and I don't know who is sad at that time. ”

"Thank you Miss Xiao for reminding me, I will keep it in mind." Qin Xiaotian responded coldly, but he was a little drumming in his heart, would Yuan Dutian really be as Xiao Ruohan said?

"Also, even I won't give up on Teacher Yuan, I believe other women will have such thoughts, you can do it yourself, it's best to pray that Teacher Yuan will always have you in his eyes." Xiao Ruohan's tone was resolute, she was actually not a young person, and she also disdained the shady methods of some girls who talked behind their backs, everything about her was born with her or obtained by her efforts, although she was not a good type, but she despised the use of despicable means.

Qin Xiaotian even thought that Xiao Ruohan was cute and real at this moment, and she could find her alone to show her attitude, at least better than those who hurt people behind their backs. "Thank you for your kindness!" Qin Xiaotian's tone did not relax.

Xiao Ruohan glanced at Qin Xiaotian arrogantly, and his face was a little gloomy: "If I had taken the initiative earlier, maybe I wouldn't have had anything to do with you, but it's a pity!" Still, I believe I still have a chance. ”

Xiao Ruohan frowned, and finally put down a sentence: "I will wait to see your ending." After that, she stepped on the mid-heeled shoes and turned around neatly, leaving a very crisp back for Qin Xiaonian, she slightly felt that the back was a little lonely and lost, although she pretended to be strong on the surface, she still couldn't hide the loneliness. Qin Xiaotian sighed in her heart, the two of them walking together would make many people around them sad, which she had never expected, and she had not expected this before. It's not surprising that a good man has one or two suitors, but she and Yuan Dutian have a feeling of becoming a public enemy of the whole people and opposing the girls on campus, which is really her lack of foresight.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a good autumn weather, with a hint of chrysanthemum fragrance in the gentle breeze, Qin Xiaotian and his party happily walked through a garden full of chrysanthemums, and went to a relatively high-end restaurant in the city for dinner. Of course, this is due to Yuan Dutian, the roommates who invited Qin Xiaotian in the name of their boyfriend for the first time naturally had to be formal, although several girls gave the choice to Yuan Dutian, of course he couldn't treat everyone badly, and he couldn't let them look down on Qin Xiaotian. He chose a high-end Chinese restaurant next to the Moon Lake in the city, eating is secondary, mainly because this garden-style restaurant has a good scenery, unique layout, and facing the lake, and he booked a private room near the lake. Pushing open the carved wooden windows, you can see the willows fluttering in the wind and the sparkling moon lake. Moon Lake is actually an artificial lake, built in the 80s, with the expansion of the city and the construction of the garden city, the area of the Moon Lake has expanded by 1/3 compared with the original, and the surrounding environment is surrounded by greenery, antique. **Out of environmental protection, in recent years, a number of illegal buildings have been demolished and restored to green space, and now there are only three or five restaurants side by side by the lake, all of which are relatively high-end restaurants in the city, and the others are basically public facilities. There are squares, nurseries, four-season flower beds, lawns, lush, cascading tall trees, and some public fitness facilities. There are walking trails and bicycle lanes along the lake, which is a good place for citizens to relax.

As soon as Tian Li stepped into the private room, she greeted the people who came after: "Come in, come in!" She sat down on a wooden chair by the window and sighed heartily: "Wow! Look, it's beautiful! This scenery of the breeze blowing the willow water like smoke can only be described in poetry! Is there a picture of 'the eastward bound lack of favorite lake, and the white sand embankment in the shade of green poplars'? Reflecting the beautiful scenery in front of you, you only need to change the Yang character to the willow character. Sometimes I really admire that the ancients can use such concise words to write exquisite verses, and the key is that the realm is not comparable to today's people. ”

Chen Shaoyu praised with a sigh: "A good scene also needs to have a beauty to match, look at the beauties in our room, it is just right to match this scene!" After winking at Tian Li, Tian Li pushed away Chen Shaoyu, who was going to sit beside her: "Go away!" Although his eyebrows and eyes were angry, the corners of his mouth could not hide a smile.

Chen Shaoyu had a faceless expression, sat next to Tian Li, and said aggrievedly: "You tell me to go away, then who will accompany you, you can't ask Senior Brother Rong and Teacher Yuan to accompany you, right?" ”

"You!" Tian Li was speechless with anger and turned her head: "I look at the scenery, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." ”

Chen Shaoyu continued to play his rogue nature, moved the chair to the window, and smiled: "Let's look together, hehe!" Tian Li almost fainted, she was really speechless!

Qin Xiaotian looked at Tian Li and Chen Shaoyu and felt that these two people were really a pair of living treasures, and there was no fun in their lives.

Rong Xinsheng was wearing a light yellow and blue short-sleeved shirt with excellent drape, with trousers with excellent drape, looking very energetic and handsome. Look at Hu Meinu again, wearing a burgundy long skirt with white knitted shoulders, long hair hanging down her waist, just a little powder, you can already make the men who pass by her unforgettable. Qin Xiaotian has always felt that Hu Xiaojuan is beautiful, so beautiful that it is a little charming, if you match her tone and occasionally lazy and coquettish demeanor, she can really confuse all beings, she and Rong Xinshenglang are talented and beautiful, and they are also the most charming and handsome combination in her opinion. Yuan Dutian is handsome and Rong Xinsheng is different, Yuan Dutian can't be described as simply handsome, just looking at the appearance, at first glance, it must be Rong Xinsheng's advantage, but Yuan Dutian wins in his aura, he has his own unique aura, there is a kind of aura that is if he leaves, rejects people outside and seduces inside, this is his most attractive place. Qin Xiaotian was in a reverie, and was suddenly interrupted by Yuan Dutian: "Today is my treat, your dormitory is the protagonist, look at what a few beauties want to eat, you're welcome!" After speaking, he handed a heavy recipe to Qin Xiaotian.

"We're not going to be kind!" Tian Li and Hu Xiaojuan came to Qin Xiaotian's side, and the three of them carefully studied the recipe.

"There are too many dishes in their house, and they can't turn them over this time!" Tian Li muttered to the two roommates.

"Otherwise, let's see what we want to eat first, and then call the waiter to recommend it." Qin Xiaotian was also dazzled by the names of the various dishes in front of him. The three of them discussed it and decided to try dishes that they don't usually eat, sashimi is a must, chrysanthemum beef balls, orange sour and spicy open oven fish, garlic grilled lamb chops, the three girls ordered all big meat dishes, I really don't feel sorry for Yuan Dutian's wallet. A few people, you have a mouth, I have a mouth, and it took more than 20 minutes to order seven or eight dishes and a snack.

"Come, drink tea first." Yuan Dutian took the initiative to pour a frozen top oolong for several students, and the fragrance of tea was overflowing. Qin Xiaotian loves this purple pottery teapot very much, with a chubby belly and a graceful curved tea mouth, and the tea handle is round, cute and simple. After she finished drinking the tea in the green cup, she lifted the teapot to fill herself with tea, and added tea to the others.

"Teacher Yuan, you have been hiding from us for so long, do you have to punish yourself three cups in a while!" Chen Shaoyu, who is barefoot, is not afraid of wearing shoes, so he will coax.

Tian Li tugged at the corner of Chen Shaoyu's clothes under the table, looking a little embarrassed. Yuan Dutian saw Tian Li's thoughts, she was afraid that Chen Shaoyu would accidentally offend him between words, after all, he was Chen Shaoyu's teacher.

He replied cheerfully, "Okay, what do you want to drink?" I'll be with you to the end. Yuan Dutian showed a rare heroism, which calmed Rong Xinsheng and Hu Xiaojuan, and looked at the two of them blankly, Chen Shaoyu slapped the table and called the waiter: "Waiter, 8 bottles of Harbin beer, do you want ice?" He asked Yuan Dutian, "No." Chen Shaoyu turned to the well-dressed waiter and ordered: "8 bottles of Harbin beer, room temperature." ”

"I don't think you know much about me, Shaoyu is my student, and you probably know a little bit of my temper. I'm usually more serious in class, but when I go out of the classroom and office, I'm basically the same as the students. Otherwise, you wouldn't have seen me play with my students a lot. Yuan Dutian explained very affinity, hoping to shorten the distance between him and the people around Qin Xiaotian.

"I always thought that Mr. Yuan, you were a very arrogant and unkind person in the eyes of the world, but it seems that we were wrong." Tian Li laughed awkwardly.

"I've never felt like I'm arrogant, when did I give you that impression? It seems that I can't promote my image enough! Yuan Dutian also laughed, and the atmosphere was suddenly much lighter.

"It's served, let's eat it while it's hot." Qin Xiaotian beckoned everyone to eat vegetables, "You guys are not polite today, there is revenge and revenge, I have given Teacher Yuan a preventive injection in advance, and if you want to be with us in the future, if you want to integrate into our collective life, you have to be like us, you can't pretend to be a teacher, otherwise you won't take him to play in the future." ”

"This is good, this is good!" Hu Xiaojuan nodded again and again, "Lest you have to take care of your identity when you go out to play together, you can't let go, it's so boring." She very much agreed with Qin Xiaotian's statement, otherwise it would be awkward to take the teacher out to play.

"So today there are no teachers, only friends." Yuan Dutian raised the full beer glass and nodded to Chen Shaoyu, Chen Shaoyu made a gesture of please, Yuan Dutian smiled and drank it all. There was applause at the table. "Wow, Mr. Yuan has a lot of alcohol!" Hu Xiaojuan and Tian Li couldn't help but applaud, they didn't expect Yuan Dutian to be also arrogant.

"Teacher Yuan, you still have two cups, I just said okay." Chen Shaoyu doesn't look like he will die if he doesn't do it, and he really doesn't think of himself as a student anymore.

"Wait, let me eat something first!" Yuan Dutian picked up a piece of fish and stuffed it into his mouth.

"I'm waiting for you to make a toast after you punish yourself." Chen Shaoyu took the beer glass.

"Yes, yes, we'll all be waiting for you to drink." Rong Xinsheng is not to be outdone, don't look at him as elegant and graceful, he is a big drinker, and his Hu Xiaojuan's alcohol is not small.

Now it's Qin Xiaotian's turn to be nervous, didn't they make it clear that they wanted to pour Yuan Dutian wine? What should I do if I get drunk? But on an occasion like tonight, it is not good for her to directly refuse the kindness of her roommates, otherwise she will be laughed at by Tian Li and them, and she will seem to be too nervous Yuan Dutian. She quietly glanced at Yuan Dutian, he didn't have a look of displeasure, so she quipped, "Are you going to get drunk tonight?" ”

"Of course." Chen Shaoyu was very happy to see that Yuan Dutian's two glasses of wine had been eaten, how rare it was to find an opportunity to pour wine to Teacher Yuan, it was usually impossible to pour him wine even if they had a dinner party in the academy, Teacher Yuan was usually a very self-disciplined person, and it was difficult to let him break his vows.

Rong Xinsheng glanced at Chen Shaoyu, Chen Shaoyu understood, shut up, but kept laughing. Rong Xinsheng walked to Yuan Dutian with a wine glass, respectfully, and bowed slightly: "Teacher Yuan, I really didn't expect to have such an opportunity to drink at the same table with you, I am so happy today, as a student who is about to leave school, I respect you!" Yuan Dutian was about to stand up, Rong Xinsheng pressed his shoulder, and hurriedly said, "Teacher Yuan, you don't have to stand up, it's the same when you sit and drink." So, you did it, I'm free. After drinking half of the beer in the cup, Yuan Dutian smiled, knowing that they were coming for him, so he didn't say anything, and raised his head and drank a glass.

Qin Xiaotian looked stupid on the side, and now she couldn't hold her breath, "Hey! She pointed at Rong Xinsheng, "Senior Brother Rong, is there a toast like you?" What did you do to me at will, shouldn't you toast the person to kill out? ”

When Hu Xiaojuan heard this, she immediately protected herself, "What, we are saluting him to have a drink to show respect for Teacher Yuan, if you are not convinced, you can help him drink?" ”

As soon as she heard that she was going to help Yuan Dutian drink, Qin Xiaotian was short of breath all of a sudden, so she had to forget about the amount of alcohol. Hu Xiaojuan saw Qin Xiaotian glaring at herself with a small fist, but she looked angry and cute, and whispered to her; "Besides, if you don't get drunk, where is the chance?" After speaking, she dedicated her signature gesture of grinning and winking to Qin Xiaotian, and the freshly chewed tofu in Qin Xiaotian's mouth almost didn't squirt out. Tian Li also added oil and vinegar on the side.

Not only will I be slaughtered tonight, but I will also have to be stabbed! Qin Xiaotian now regretted inviting them to dinner, but Yuan Dutian was very calm. After three rounds of wine, 8 bottles of beer were quickly finished, Chen Shaoyu ordered 4 more bottles, and Hu Xiaojuan also took advantage of this warm atmosphere to ask for a glass of wine. China's wine culture really has a long history, wine can shorten the distance between people, and can also make enemies become friends, friends become enemies, and make the impossible possible. In the banquet, wine is the catalyst of feelings, at work, wine may be the weight of your way to the promotion after you win a big order, tonight, wine is definitely the catalyst of feelings. There is no distinction between teachers and students at this table, only boxing and high-fives. When the banquet was dismissed, the three men were slightly drunk, and the three women invariably helped the men around them crookedly to the side of the road to take a taxi, and after 9 o'clock at night, it was not easy to take a taxi by the Moon Lake. Finally stopped a car, Tian Li and Hu Xiaojuan both asked Qin Xiaotian to get in the car first to send Yuan Dutian back, Qin Xiaotian saw that Yuan Dutian's eyes were confused and he couldn't stand steadily, so he no longer shirked, and pushed Yuan Dutian into the car with great effort.

"Be careful on the road, we'll be back to the dormitory in a moment." Tian Li beckoned.

"It's okay if you don't go back to the dormitory, we don't care about you!" Hu Xiaojuan held Rong Xinsheng, whose face was flushed, and smiled at Qin Xiaotian, Qin Xiaotian glanced at her, and closed the car door with a "bang".

Along the way, Yuan Dutian leaned on Qin Xiaotian's shoulder, Qin Xiaotian held his hand, and his nose could smell the smell of wine. Fortunately, he didn't make noise when he was drunk, and he didn't vomit or roll the ground, otherwise it would be good to call her a weak woman.

After getting out of the car, Qin Xiaotian grabbed Yuan Dutian and approached the bachelor apartment, who knew that Yuan Dutian changed as soon as he entered the elevator, and he didn't need his help, he leaned in the elevator, his burning eyes focused on Qin Xiaotian, Qin Xiaotian was seen to be flustered and short of breath, and he was worried that he was going to vomit, so he hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with you?" Does it matter? I'm going home soon, don't spit on the elevator! ”

When Yuan Dutian heard this, he pretended to laugh like crazy with wine, and the laughter made Qin Xiaotian even more panicked. "You're worried I'm going to spit on you?" Yuan Dutian leaned over and was pushed away by Qin Xiaotian, "What are you doing?" Drunk? ”

"Me? Do you think I'm drunk? Yuan Dutian raised a soul-hooking smile.

"I think you're just drunk, and usually drunk people don't admit they're drunk." Qin Xiaotian muttered.

Yuan Dutian walked straight to the door, took out the key to open the door, changed his shoes, opened the refrigerator and handed Qin Xiaotian a bottle of mineral water, and drank most of the bottle himself. In this way, it seems that he is not drunk, or is he already sober? Qin Xiaotian now suspected that he was pretending to be drunk.

"You're really not drunk? So you just pretended to be? Qin Xiaotian punched him.

Yuan Dutian smiled faintly and did not deny it: "If I don't pretend, then I have to continue drinking, Chen Shaoyu and Rong Xinsheng may not be able to drink me, wouldn't it seem that they have no face if they don't pretend?" ”

"You're really bad enough, you actually pretend to be drunk to win sympathy." Qin Xiaotian patted his clothes and said, "Since you're fine, I'll go back." ”

"Huh? Just gone? No dots? Yuan Dutian frowned, then pointed to his cheek.

"Phew! Shameless! Qin Xiaotian turned around and left, before he could take a step, he was pulled into someone's arms by a brute force, the pungent smell of wine penetrated into his nostrils, Qin Xiaotian was about to make a sound, his lips were covered, with a domineering and alcoholic smell, Qin Xiaotian put his hands against Yuan Dutian's chest, and after a while of lingering lips and teeth, Yuan Dutian let go of her, hugged her and sent her to the elevator, telling her to be careful on the road and rest early. The moment Qin Xiaotian walked into the night, there was a faint sense of loss, was she looking forward to something to happen to Yuan Dutian?

Back in the dormitory, she was laughed at by Tian Li and Hu Xiaojuan for why she didn't stay with Yuan Dutian for the night, and came back so soon, she responded obediently and flatteringly: "I can't bear you!" This insincere, non-golden, perfunctory remark was scoffed at by Tian Li and Hu Xiaojuan.
