Yuan Yuxiao's body suddenly trembled slightly. Never.

He took a deep breath to stabilize himself a little. At this moment, he didn't understand what was wrong with him.

In Yuan Yuxiao's subconscious, or rather, in his hazy youthful dreams, his future partner is the kind of sturdy and fruitful woman, like a mother, like a tree with deep roots and leaves, giving him a sense of belonging.

The petite Yu Xiaolu does not fit this dream.

However, at certain times, Yu Xiaolu's petiteness can arouse his desire to care for women.

These two different feelings made Yu Xiaolu near and far in his heart.

It's just that before, because of the inexplicable relationship between Yu Xiaolu and Mo Qing, he forcibly blocked his feelings about her part of the opposite sex, and a kind of blessing to his friend made him always maintain a sufficient distance from Yu Xiaolu.

And today, Mo Qing withdrew and walked away, suddenly making this distance disappear, especially, that inexplicable sense of responsibility, and the desire to care for her that he once had suddenly reached a magical fit, making each of his nerve endings become extremely sensitive.

From this point of view, Mo Qing's "Tuogu" is probably also well thought out, he understands himself too thoroughly, I have to say that Mo Qing is a human spirit.

His mind was still overgrown with weeds, Yu Xiaolu couldn't stand this atmosphere, and touched his arm, "Hey, what do you want!" ”

He was excited, "No, I didn't think about anything!" ”

"When I went to your house to look for you just now, your mother was at home on a rotational vacation, and she said that you are not going to university and are going to enter the tax office, is this true?" Yu Xiaolu suddenly opened this topic, which made Yuan Yuxiao very taboo.

Yuan Yuxiao had a hot face and nodded silently.

"Tut-tut, now so many people can't go to college if they want to, how can you do this...... Why? ”

"This, well, I'm afraid I can't speak clearly in a few words......" Yuan Yuxiao thought, could it be that Yu Xiaolu also wants to persuade me?

"It's okay, if you go to college, you are also looking for a job to make money and live a life, and it may be better to find a job early!" Yu Xiaolu is really not Mo Qing, and he turned the corner all of a sudden.

Yuan Yuxiao's shoulders loosened when she heard this.

In fact, he also expected Yu Xiaolu's attitude. They know each other too well, and they are too similar. From Yu Xiaolu, he will never get the slightest bit of pressure.

Yu Xiaolu didn't pay attention to Yuan Yuxiao's absent-mindedness, and pouted again: "Is this Mo Qing hiding from us recently, I can't find anyone every day." ”

Yuan Yuxiao said in her heart, it is possible for Mo Qing to hide from you, but he did not hide from "us", I can't do this with you.

But what he said was, "He's going to college, of course." ”

"Yes, he is in college, you have a job - it's still an iron rice bowl, even Liu Side was admitted to the secondary school, but I ...... I have to continue tutoring......" Yu Xiaolu smiled and stared blankly at the coffee cup.

At this moment, Yu Xiaolu was really pitiful in Yuan Yuxiao's eyes.

He could feel the loneliness. It's like the lonely panic he used to occasionally fall behind by going to the toilet in group activities.

He couldn't help but stretch out a hand to hold her shoulder, and said softly: "It's okay, aren't we still in the same city, I will have a short period of pre-job training, and the training place is not too far, I will come back to see you every week." In the future, I will work, life will be easier, I can still play with you, besides, you will tutor for another year, and next year you may be admitted to a better university than Mo Qing, failure is the mother of success! ”

"Old Master, your tone is exactly the same as my father's, that's what he said—one red heart, two preparations." Yu Xiaolu smiled again, a little stiff in his smile.

Yuan Yuxiao was a little embarrassed when she heard him call herself "Old Master", retracted her hand, and played with the cup in front of her. remembered that they once joked that "one rope, two preparations - backpacking and hanging", and became more and more uncomfortable for Yu Xiaolu.

"Thank you for your comfort, you are a good person." Yu Xiaolu saw his heavy appearance and comforted him in turn.

Yuan Yuxiao smiled, raised her head, and collided with Yu Xiaolu's eyes, and suddenly felt that there was a strange light flashing in her eyes.

I don't know if Yuan Yuxiao is too sensitive, or if he really hasn't seen this kind of look, his heart flutters.

He quickly looked away, but his newly stilled body trembled uncharacteristically, and he supported his head with his arms and pressed the iced coffee he held in his hand to his forehead, which seemed to make him sober and calm.

Both men were silent and did not speak.

The sound of the large ceiling fan on the ceiling was even louder.

In the end, Yu Xiaolu couldn't bear the silence and dullness, and laughed a little lightly, "It's about to be separated, I think I should give you and Mo Qing a parting message." She said.

"Oh, that's good! However, the two of us are not separated, it seems that there is no need to say goodbye, what kind of gift did you prepare for Mo Qing? ”

"Hmm......" Xiaolu tilted her head and thought for a while, and then said with a smile, "I want to warn him that it is better to be pretentious than to be down-to-earth!" ”

Yuan Yuxiao lowered her head slightly and played with this sentence, thinking that it was quite appropriate, after all, they have been friends for many years, understand!

"Well, that's good!" He held out his thumbs, "Accurate, right!" ”

"To be fair, I should have given you a ...... too"

"In that case, it's fine! What golden words are you going to give me? ”

"Well......" she said with a smile, folding the handkerchief into small squares, "I've thought about it too, and I'll ...... Send you four words - learn to say no! ”

Yuan Yuxiao's heart moved, and she asked with some humility: "Why these four words?" ”

"Because ......" Yu Xiaolu looked at the ceiling with a smile, I don't know if she didn't think about it, or if she deliberately sold it.

"Because of what?" He couldn't help but ask, his heart was empty without reason.

"Because ......," she tilted her head to look at him, laughing out of a pair of pear vortices.

Yuan Yuxiao was furious by her, and he suddenly thought that in fact, she was not as completely rough as she looked, after all, she was a girl, and sometimes she was very sensitive and delicate.

"Because ......," she said, shaking off the two little pigtails, and said as if determined, "because your future work is not suitable for ...... soft-hearted."

Although this is very logical, Yuan Yuxiao still feels inexplicably that this is not what she originally meant.

Are you thinking too much?

He flicked his hair, as if to shake off the tumultuous thoughts. At this moment, he suddenly felt ridiculous.

A few days ago he could not refuse the future that his parents had set for him. Today, he can't seem to refuse Mo Qing's entrusted "girlfriend". And the gift of this entrusted "girlfriend" is exactly - learn to say no!

He will later know that this gift is really very appropriate and very important for him.

At night, Yuan Yuxiao sat at the desk, thinking about the things of the day, and felt like a joke, feeling a little ridiculous, but a little realistic, why this happened, but I couldn't figure it out for a while, I was in a daze, someone knocked on the door, the sound was loud and urgent, he just opened the door, and the next-door neighbor He Jun stepped in excitedly, holding a plate of cellophane fruit candy in one hand and a red plastic cover diary in the other.

"Where's my uncle and aunt?"

Yuan Yuxiao's mother had already heard the sound and came out of the inner room, "Xiao He, what is the reason to knock on the door so urgently?" ”

He Jun smiled and said loudly, "I'm sorry, I'm glad that my hands and feet are not serious, I am out of the school today!" Treat you to sugar! As he spoke, he stretched out the plate in front of Yuan Yuxiao's mother.

"Ouch! Congratulations! This candy is to be eaten! ”

"Where's my uncle?"

"He listens to the radio, but he doesn't know anything, I'll help him get one!" Yuan Yuxiao's mother took two candies, He Jun handed the plate to Yuan Yuxiao again, and Yuan Yuxiao also smiled and took one.

"Uncle's radio is really good, I'm out of school, and my salary is going to rise a few yuan, I want to save some money to buy a radio!"

As soon as he talked about the radio, Yuan Yuxiao's father came out, holding the Shanghai-made "Spring Thunder Brand" that he never left in his hand every night, and said a little ostentatiously, "If you want to buy a good machine, it's a technical job!" You see, I've been buying this machine for seven or eight years, and the listening effect is still the same as new! ”

"That's right! The voice of Huang Zi's father's Xiangjiang brand is not as good as your old one! ”

"I'm a Shanghai product, he spent thirty-three yuan, I only twenty-nine yuan, export to domestic sales, although it is a processed product, but the shell has scratches, the internal quality is quack, I bought it immediately, I will seize the opportunity!"

"Bragging again!" Yuan Yuxiao's mother smiled and said, "We are not allowed to touch his baby radio casually - Xiao He, you are now eighteen yuan a month, right?" ”

"Yes, as soon as I got out of the division, I will increase my salary! Hey, Xiao Lingzi has been admitted to the tax bureau, and the salary is at the cadre level, I heard that once you enter, it is thirty-two yuan a month! I worked for three years before I could rise to more than 20s, people are more angry than people! He Jun looked envious.

Yuan Yuxiao's mother smiled from ear to ear, "Let's do this, Xiaoxiao is still angry!" ”

"I'll send a journal to congratulate!" He Jun handed over the red plastic diary in his other hand.

"Ouch...... I'm really sorry, thank you! Yuan Yuxiao's mother said, and Yuan Yuxiao took the book and expressed her gratitude.

"Xiao He, why is he so polite!" Yuan Yuxiao's father interjected with a smile, for the first time, he did not show his disgust with the gift giver.

"My book is awarded by the factory, and I don't read or write anyway, so Xiao Yanzi can use it!"

"Sit down and have a cup of tea!"

"Don't sit down, I'm going to deliver candy to other families!" He Jun lifted the plate slightly, turned around and left, looking in a hurry.

"It's okay to play!" After Yuan Yuxiao sent the guests away, she turned back to him and said with a smile, "Look, people are envious of you for finding an iron rice bowl, you really want to go to college, if you are really assigned to the factory, the salary may not be more than this!" ”

Yuan Yuxiao lowered his head, opened the diary, and the title page was printed with the words "Award to Advanced Workers", he thought about it, he used to study nervously and had no time to write a diary, but now he is relaxed, it is good to write a diary, this book is just in time. Just as he was thinking about it, his mother came over again, took the prickly heat powder iron cylinder, and shouted, "Xiaoxiao, is this your key in this cylinder?" ”

Yuan Yuxiao saw that it was the key with the fragrance of osmanthus hanging on the little velvet bear he picked up, and he was almost scared into sweat, and hurriedly went over and grabbed the small iron cylinder.

"You're like that, hiding things everywhere, and you don't remember when the time comes, where did you put my needle and thread?"

He hurriedly handed over the paper pillbox with the needle and thread in it at the same speed as he had just grabbed the small iron cylinder, and at the same time glanced quickly at his father, who was standing against the wall, who was holding the radio to his ear and carefully tuning the stage, he had never cared about the trivial matters of life.

"I always like to make new names." The mother muttered dissatisfiedly, and the sewing button was removed. Yuan Yuxiao didn't dare to put the small iron cylinder on the bookshelf anymore, he opened the drawer that belonged to him on the two chests of drawers, put it in, and covered it with two more books.

A strange thought suddenly came to him, if he really wanted to accept Mo Qing's ridiculous proposal during the day today and go to get along with Yu Xiaolu, then hiding this key and thinking about it would be considered inattentive?

Then he laughed dumbly, feeling that he was overthinking it. Since he learned the "Persuasion Chapter" in junior high school, the "three times a day to save yourself, then you know and do no fault" is quite in line with his spleen and stomach, he has always had nothing to do with himself to reflect on himself, which is a theoretical battle. It's just that it often inevitably brings some unfounded worries and mediocre people to disturb themselves.

However, today's self-disturbance does not seem to be entirely groundless......

For a while, the fragrance of osmanthus on the key and the green tea fragrance of Xiaolu were like two strands of hairspring, and like a tidal wave, winding left and right on his heart.
