The Kite and the Hitomi Roll - 364
His face was so pale, why, was he as panicked as I was? Haha, I'm probably scared crazy, how is this possible. Shi Jiaojiao's mouth opened and closed, her lips were like pink petals beaten by the drizzle, Chu Chu trembled pitifully, and almost used all her strength before she forced out a normal sentence, "Teacher Tang." ”
Zhang Kun tilted his head and didn't say a word, the corners of his mouth were always curled with an unexplained arc, and his gaze never left Tang Jianyu: after Shi Jiaojiao called out Tang Jianyu's title and announced that they were going head-to-head, Zhang Kun didn't want to miss any of Tang Jianyu's subtle movements.
The raised Adam's apple moved up and down, and Tang Jianyu responded: "Well, Shi Jiaojiao." His voice was still so warm, like a clear spring rain attached to Shi Jiaojiao's eardrums, penetrating through the past, and soon filled her eyes: it was terrible, I couldn't help but want to cry! Shi Jiaojiao bit her lower lip and tried her best to control her emotions.
Zhang Kun licked his lips that were dry from excitement, and smiled even more. Looking at the two people who were frantically bitten by the beast of emotion, their powerless appearance made Zhang Kun want to applaud and want to clap and laugh. Wonderful, wonderful! I don't know how long they were suppressed, but their reaction was even more intense than he expected, almost breaking through the limits of what they could control. This was the moment that Zhang Kun was looking forward to, and the sudden pain in Tang Jianyu's gentle eyes made him feel the pleasure of revenge against fate.
So far, Professor Yang is the only person present who has enjoyed the party very much, and for him, it is Zhang Kun's long-planned plan for his return to China, and it is completely centered on her. Tang Jianyu is a peer he can only look up to since middle school, and now he is a foil; And the inviter, Zhang Kun, is the richest and most powerful top-level person in his current social circle, and he even brought the most beloved woman! This seemingly personal specification undoubtedly satisfies the vanity of this returned scholar to the highest degree.
He can't wait to take charge of the four-person dinner to show his status as the "protagonist". "Haha, I really didn't expect it!" Professor Yang pinched the thin foot of the wine glass, the lively red liquid licked the rim of the glass and almost overflowed, he leaned forward and said loudly: "Jianyu, I am really willing to bow to the wind, you kid is outstanding no matter what you do." Even if you are an amateur rural teacher, you can cultivate such an excellent woman as Mrs. Zhang, I must toast you first."
Haha, good professor, that's why you're here! Zhang Kun likes to watch the blank posture of his prey when it is attacked before being tamed, and he even wants to stand up and applaud Professor Yang, who accidentally hit the force. Professor Yang seemed to be encouraged by the change in Zhang Kun's expression, and leaned over the wine glass more actively, his mouth vibrating, "Now that I have returned to China, we should get together more often and communicate more!" ”
Tang Jianyu didn't seem to have come back to his senses, and he listened to Professor Yang's words and picked up the wine glass, but his eyes never left Shi Jiaojiao, who was also wooden. A second before the two goblets touched, Tang Jianyu retracted his hand, looked at Zhang Kun, who had been smiling, and asked, "Senior brother, when will you and Jiaojiao have a wedding?" ”
Zhang Kun moved his eyes and said, "Not yet." Of course, you must not be absent from our wedding. Tang Jianyu put down the cup, his expression had returned to calm, he didn't answer Zhang Kun's words, but smiled bitterly at Shi Jiaojiao, and said, "Owe me a speech, don't forget." Not to mention forgetting, Shi Jiaojiao can even recall the details immediately.
At that time, the relationship between the master and apprentice was still very close and simple. Shi Jiaojiao teased Tang Jianyu for missing a speech at Chen Li's wedding, but don't worry, he still has many student weddings to attend. Hearing her teasing her for being single, Tang Jianyu pretended to be angry and asked her to review, Shi Jiaojiao was very cooperative, and pretended to be frightened and screamed over the phone, and swore to announce:
"I think about it, Chen Li's words can't be wasted, I want to put them away! When I become a bride, please take a seat, and I will recite a poem separately to make up for this regret for you, okay? "Okay, I remember." Shi Jiaojiao remembered that Tang Jianyu's smiling voice replied to herself, but she didn't expect him to really remember.
Perhaps it was Tang Jianyu's words that were steadily transmitted to Shi Jiaojiao, and she finally calmed down from the panic that she couldn't get along with. She adjusted her sitting posture, faced Tang Jianyu, looked into his eyes and said softly, "I didn't know that you came from the city?" Tang Jianyu blinked and replied gently: "University B attends a lecture by the Mathematics Association, and then I will go to a city in the north." "It's been a long time since it rained in autumn, and it's all sunny......"
They began to speak in a strange way again: they never answered each other's words, but they could unfold naturally. The moment they started talking, it was as if the others had disappeared of their own accord.
It wasn't until later that Professor Yang realized that he was just a dispensable escort, and the person Zhang Kun really wanted to invite was Tang Jianyu. Not only that, but he was also frustrated to find that Tang Jianyu's superiority over him, from his student days to the present, as always, is like a dazzling bright light chasing fragile eyes, whether he closes his eyelids or not, it is still there, and it is difficult to get rid of it.
It was a dinner that made everyone in attendance uncomfortable.
The weather was always sunny as Shi Jiaojiao said, and after the four of them walked out of the hotel, there was an inky blue sky with a few stars above their heads. Professor Yang got into the hotel's pre-booked car and left first, and saw the three people standing in front of the steps in the rearview mirror of the taxi and did not disperse. Shi Jiaojiao kept a distance of four or five steps from the two, hanging her head and not speaking, and the voices of the men's conversations came vaguely from not far away. "We'll send you there." Zhang Kun said, Tang Jianyu waved his hand, "No." ”
"Let's say goodbye!" Zhang Kun suddenly turned around and stretched out a hand to Shi Jiaojiao, Shi Jiaojiao raised her head in response, and her eyes naturally turned to Tang Jianyu. He stood in the shadow of the lobby lights cut off by the doorpost, the dim light and the distance made it impossible for her to see his expression. "Come on." Zhang Kun called out to the silent woman again, and raised his hand persistently. Shi Jiaojiao pursed her lips, put the blue bag into his palm, stood in front of Tang Jianyu and bent down slightly, without making a sound.
The residential area with excellent greenery is quieter than the sound of unknown birds in the dark shadows of the trees at night. Zhang Kun turned on the lights of the carriage, and Shi Jiaojiao's lifeless face first appeared on the reflection of the glass. "What's wrong? It was fine before meals. Zhang Kun said, "I won't tell you, I just want to surprise you, you must have not seen each other for a long time." Shi Jiaojiao turned her head when she heard this, her light eyes were full of scrutiny. The man let go of the steering wheel and looked back at her, accepting her gaze with a calm attitude.
He didn't seem to know anything, probably just a coincidence. Shi Jiaojiao let out a breath, lowered her head dejectedly, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, it's a little surprising, obviously they are all people I know." He pouted slightly as he spoke, and raised his eyes to look at the man. That's it? Zhang Kun asked rhetorically, Shi Jiaojiao bit her lip and nodded silently, "Don't be so mysterious next time, I'm not a little girl, I don't expect surprises." ”
