He leans casually and lazily under the tree, lowering his head and fiddling with the camera in his hand, looking attentive. Suddenly she noticed that an external force was pulling at the hem of her clothes, and she looked down to see a little girl with pigtails, staring at her with big black eyes, holding the hem of her clothes with her little hands and not letting go.

"Kid, what's the matter with you?" Zhongyi put down the camera in his hand, bent down, looked at the little girl at eye level, and smiled with bent lips.

The little girl was not afraid of the living, but she just didn't seem to want to talk to her. Zhong Yi was also extremely patient, she half-crouched down, smiled warmly, and quietly waited for the little girl to take the initiative to approach her.

The little girl pursed the corners of her mouth, stretched out her little hand, grabbed her favorite wrist, and dragged her somewhere. Don't look at her small size, but her strength is very big, and it won't take any trouble to pull Zhong Yi away.

"Are you taking me somewhere?" Zhong Yi took the initiative to follow the little girl, and found that it was a vain question to ask, and the little girl didn't pay attention to her at all, nor did she talk to her, but walked forward vigorously. If you notice that she is a few steps slower, she will stop and look back at her until she catches up.

Zhong Yi touched his nose, the first time he was so embarrassed by being flashed, it was even more maddening and difficult to get along with than An Shu when he was a child. At the very least, Anshu was annoyed by the question, and he would put on an angry expression and make a posture of wanting to fight her.

On the hill behind the school, there are weeds growing around, and it is difficult to walk an inch. Zhong Yi stood on the open ground, and hesitated to persuade the little girl to go back, otherwise the teacher would not find her later. The little girl did not obey Zhongyi's instructions, and climbed up neatly, Zhongyi was worried that she was in danger, so she had to follow her head-on, and see what she wanted to do.

After climbing more than ten meters, there is gradually a small mountain road in my sight, winding and winding, leading to the top of the mountain. Under the scorching sun, Zhongyi followed the little girl without flinching, and finally climbed to the top of the mountain, Zhongyi held his waist and gasped for a few breaths, and saw the little girl running and flying into the arms of a girl, giggling.

The girl had her back to her, wearing a simple white T-shirt, a cotton and linen skirt, and her hair was tied into a high ponytail at the back of her head, looking sunny and energetic.

After a pause, Zhong Yi noticed that on the top of the mountain, in addition to the little girl and a girl who brought her, there were several students sitting scattered around, each holding a drawing paper and pencil in their hands, and seemed to be drawing on them.

The little girl didn't know what to say to the girl, so she stretched out her finger and pointed to Zhong Yi, who was standing not far away, and kept gesturing in mid-air with her hands. She smiled happily, revealing the missing front tooth, looking ridiculous.

The girl gently stroked the top of the little girl's hair, followed the direction of the little girl's finger, turned around, saw a familiar face, and was slightly surprised: "Favorite?" So you're the photographer who came to take graduation photos for the kids. ”

Zhong Yi didn't recognize the girl standing in front of him for a while, it was Jiang Xiu, her roommate who had slept with her for four years in college. She was surprised, "Are you?" Jiang Xiu? ……”

After graduating from college, Jiang Xiu was escorted abroad and directly cut off contact with them. Now only the three of them are left with the same friendship in bed, and occasionally when the three of them chat in the group, they will inexplicably mention Jiang Xiu, and then there is silence for a while.

No one has ever seen her, and Xu Sa has also guessed that Jiang Xiu will either continue to study abroad or be hired by a large company. It's normal to cut off contact with them, people go to high places, water flows to low places, she is such a smart person, she can see more than anyone else.

"It's me." Jiang Xiuluo smiled squarely, the skin that was originally a little fair, but now it has turned into a light wheat color, lined with those shining eyes, which are exceptionally bright, "Among the four people, it seems that you are the only one who has always insisted on the 'dream' unchanged." ”

She used to be introverted, cowardly, and afraid to look at others, but she was suddenly reborn into another person, and even her personality has changed dramatically. Completely, she is no longer the timid and cowardly girl she was at the beginning.

Zhong Yi was stunned for a few seconds, and looked at the children who were painting behind her: "We all thought you stayed in the United States, but we didn't expect to meet you here." Are you a teacher here? ”

"yes, it's been a long time. Teachers here are very scarce, and I am responsible for teaching them Chinese and drawing. Jiang Xiu bent down to put away the drawing board and greeted the children who were drawing: "That's it for today, it's going to continue tomorrow, hurry back to the classroom for other classes." With that, she took the little girl's hand and walked towards Zhongyi.

"...... she?" Zhong Yi lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the little girl beside Jiang Xiu, and still couldn't figure out her intentions.

"Mingyang wants you to take a few photos for them and send them to their parents who are working outside the home. She knew I was here, so she brought you. Jiang Xiu touched Mingyang's hair, looked at the camera in her arms again, and asked, "Is it okay?" ”

Zhong Yi nodded.

As soon as the children heard that they could be photographed, they happily crowded over, and Jiang Xiu arranged the group of children in their respective positions and lined up one by one.

Even the little girl who couldn't speak called Mingyang happily showed her standard eight-tooth smile in front of the camera.

Back in the school, Xu Huaisheng walked out of the classroom and met him head-on. Zhongyi looked down at the pebbles beneath her feet, and suddenly noticed a line of sight flying over her head.

"Teacher Xu, they have a perfection class, and they will learn math and English later, you remember to teach them. Mingyang, you take it first, and I'll bring the sketchpad into the classroom. Seeing Xu Huaisheng, Jiang Xiu said hello in a familiar tone.

"Okay, no problem." Xu Huaisheng took Mingyang, took her little hand, and stood in place waiting.

After Jiang Xiu left, only she and Xu Huaisheng and a girl were left outside the classroom, and the air was a little silent and awkward for a while. She counted the pebbles under her feet, counted to the tenth, Cheng Lan's voice sounded not far away, Zhong Yi seemed to see a life-saving straw, stepped away, and responded to Cheng Lan walking towards her.

"I couldn't find you anywhere, so I thought you had gone." Seeing her, Cheng Lan frowned and looked at the huge dark clouds in the sky, which were slowly gathering over their heads: "It seems that it is about to rain, Ouyang asked me to inform everyone that we can go back." Let's go now, maybe we'll be in town by eight o'clock. ”

"I'll go find Xiao Liu and Big Tou." Zhong Yi remembered seeing Xiao Liu and Da Tou in the classroom, but he forgot which classroom it was. She walked towards the classroom, looking from room to room, but ran into Jiang Xiu sitting behind the lectern to correct homework, and heard the sound of footsteps outside, Jiang Xiu raised her head and looked sideways at the door.

"I'm sorry, I'm looking for two colleagues. It's time for us to go back, goodbye. Zhong Yi originally planned to catch up with her, but when she saw Jiang Xiu's eyes when she raised her head and looked out of the door, she quickly dispelled the idea of "catching up", said "goodbye" stiffly, and turned to leave.

Jiang Xiu didn't welcome her arrival, she had been vaguely aware of it from the first contact, but she didn't dare to guess too much. When I was in college, I heard some gossip rumors about Jiang Xiu, saying that she had a crush on Xu Huaisheng! She didn't pay attention to it at all, and pretended not to know, until the two broke up and finally met both of them here at the same time, and the answer to all the riddles seemed to have been revealed.

The car was on the highway, and the dark sky outside the window finally broke out into a heavy rainstorm, and the raindrops crackled on the windows and the roof of the car, making a chaotic sound. A muffled thunder, accompanied by a downpour, fell, and the body shook a few times.

The rain was so heavy that it blurred his vision, so the master slowed down the car in a hurry, turned on the headlights, marker lights and rear position lights at the same time, and drove the car into the rest area to wait for the rainstorm to pass.

The rest area was crowded with many people, all waiting for this sudden rainstorm to pass quickly. I like to sit in the car alone, take out my mobile phone and look at the time, 5:14. She dialed An Shu's phone, and his slightly tired voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hey? Where have you gone? ”

"It's raining heavily on the road, and now I'm waiting for the rain to light up at the rest stop." Zhong Yi looked out the window at the rain blurred vision, and his eyelashes fluttered slightly: "I suddenly want to eat pineapple meat for dinner, and chicken thighs stewed rice." We'll eat this for dinner, you say it's okay. ”

An Shu took a deep breath and sank his body into the soft sofa, he pinched his eyebrows and said, "No problem, it just so happens that I am also deciding what to do for dinner, you will like it." ”

Zhong Yi didn't know that an hour ago An Shu saw the news about the car accident near the mountains, he instantly thought of Zhong Yi in the mountains, holding his mobile phone anxiously walking back and forth in the living room, he didn't have the courage to call her for a long time, afraid of hearing "The user you dialed can't ......be reached for the time being" Fortunately, Zhong Yi was safe, and he was still discussing with him on the phone what to eat for dinner.

"I'm not a picky eater, you know."

"What time will you be home?" I'll pick you up. An Shu said on the other end of the phone.

"It should be around eight or nine. Damn the weather, it's not going to fall sooner or later, but it's down now. She wanted to go home quickly and eat the food An Shu cooked for her, but even she was starting to get hungry, and if she didn't go home quickly, she would starve to death.

"Remember to send me a WeChat message when you are about to arrive, I will wait for you at the toll booth at the highway intersection."

Zhong Yi originally wanted to say that she didn't have to come out of her way to pick her up, but she couldn't wait to see An Shu's idea earlier, and successfully replaced the food that occupied her entire brain and controlled her thoughts.

"There's still time, you can make dinner first, and then it's not too late to pick me up."

An Shu hooked the corners of his lips: "Obey!" Fiancee. ”

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Yi sat in the car for a while, saw that the rain outside the window was lighter, opened the car door and walked down, went to the supermarket to buy a bottle of water, returned to the car, and the rest of the people got into the car one after another.

As we got closer to the town, we barely saw any rain falling. Zhongyi took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to An Shu, and also sent him his location, and ten minutes later, he received a reply.

- "I'm afraid you'll be hungry halfway, and the pineapple meat will bring you to the car." ”

Zhong Yi looked at this news full of thick sweetness, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

At around eight o'clock, the van drove out of the toll booth, and through the window, he saw a white BMW parked on the shoulder of the road, driving double flashing. Zhong Yi said to Ouyang, she got off the bus early from here, and someone came to pick her up.

Under Ouyang's surprised gaze, Zhong Yi calmly pulled the car door and walked down, walked to the body of the white BMW, went around to the co-pilot, and got into the cabin.

As soon as she got into the car, Zhong Yi smelled a fragrance wrapped around the tip of her nose for a long time, and she sniffed: "It's so fragrant, now I'm blessed." ”

An Shu started the car, "You seem to have it every day, Miss Zhong." If you want, I can make it for you to eat for a lifetime. ”

Where is enough for one life, in the next life, in the next life, I will ......
