The dishes came up quickly. Wu Shufang's father asked the waiter to open several bottles of beer.

"Let's have a few bottles today. Xiao Zheng's amount of alcohol is not bad, right? Wu Shufang's father opened a small bottle of drink for Wu Shufang.

"I'm not very good at drinking." I say.

"How can a young man not know how to drink, and it's okay to pour a pound of liquor into his stomach. I'm telling you, you can't drink these days. Come, fill up the wine. Uncle toasts you. ”

"I should respect my uncle." I was too busy to get up. Beer spilled out of the covers and flowed down my hands. I drained the beer from my glass in one gulp.

"Don't stand, sit and drink. Looks pretty good, hehehe. Wu Shufang's father drank the wine in the cup in one gulp. His drinking posture is very dashing. Perhaps out of habit, he grabbed the glass in his hand and turned it upside down for a second before returning it to the table to show that he had finished drinking.

Wu Shufang handed me a handkerchief. I wiped my hands with Wu Shufang's handkerchief.

"Come, now Uncle respects you. I tell you, don't stand. Standing up for drinking is punishable. Wu Shufang's father took another sip of a cup.

I followed along for a drink.

Wu Shufang saluted her father with a drink, and then saluted me. After three cups, I felt my stomach bulging. His face gradually turned red.

"Xiao Zheng, let me ask you a question, don't you think you have a relationship with Shufang?" Wu Shufang's father said.

"Dad—" Wu Shufang said angrily.

"Well—it's quite fateful." I didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"It's not just fate, you're quite fateful. You saved Shufang, don't say it, you see that you are still in the same class when you are studying in the same university, this is a fate that you can't cultivate in several lifetimes. Come, let's have another toast for this fate. Daughter, you also have a drink. Wu Shufang's father spoke with confidence.

I drank the wine in my glass in two sips. "When I entered this class, I found Shufang sitting in the classroom, and I also felt that the world was too small."

"This is fate. There is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, but there is no chance to meet on the other side. ”

"Dad, you're not going to drink too much, are you?" Wu Shufang said.

"Why do I drink too much of this? Not to mention beer. Let me tell you, when you eat with the leader, sometimes the liquor has to be dried like this. ”

"Uncle massive." I say.

"What's massive? That's no way. That's why I said that in this society, it's not okay for a person not to drink. Drinking alcohol is a form of communication. Have you ever heard of drinking the dead? For the additional money for a certain project, the leader said, drink one cup to add 100,000, drink two cups to add 200,000, one cup to add 100,000, what a tempting thing, can you drink like this without dying? ”

"This kind of person is too stupid." Wu Shufang said.

"It's not stupid. It's a last resort. Of course, that person didn't expect to drink to death, you must know that he would drink to death, no matter how much money there is, no one will drink. Isn't that right, Xiao Zheng? ”

I nodded.

"Xiao Zheng, do you know why I came to see you today?"

"I don't know."

"I'd like to see how you're doing. My daughter never told me these things. ”

"Dad, if you say these things again, I'll ignore you." Wu Shufang said.

"You see, my daughter is so shy. She wasn't like that before. After a setback, people will be much more cautious. Daughter, don't you say? ”

"Ignore you." Wu Shufang said.

"You haven't confessed to each other yet, have you? It's been almost a month since I went to college. As a father, I'll put it bluntly, college is not high school, and I encourage you to fall in love. Don't be shy. Didn't Shufang say that you often eat together? ”

"Yes." I say.

"That's not it."

"Dad, I think you are really, you think that we college students are all over the world. He is very ambitious and hopes to overcome the treatment of blood cancer. He spends most of his free time in the library. ”

"yes, that's good. Young people have to be ambitious. But no matter how ambitious you are, you have to fall in love, right, just like people have to find time to eat no matter how busy they are. Wu Shufang's father said.

"Dad, you say this as if you're worried that your daughter won't be able to get married." Wu Shufang pretended to be angry and pouted.

"My daughter is so good, how can I have such worries? But since you like Xiao Zheng so much, you must have the courage to pursue it and let Xiao Zheng know your emotion. You tell me, Xiao Zheng, do you know Shufang's feelings for you? ”

"I know. But—"

"But what, do you think my daughter is not worthy of you?" Wu Shufang's father picked up his cup and took a big sip of beer. He said that, but that expression was something else entirely.

"Dad—"

"It's not. In fact, Shufang, she should know that I am not mentally prepared for this. I said.

"What else do you need to prepare for falling in love? This is the first time I've heard of this. ”

"When I was in high school, I used to like a girl who died of leukemia."

"It's Xiong Yanfei, Uncle Xiong's daughter, Dad, you should know." Wu Shufang said.

"I don't know the daughter of Deputy Director Xiong of the Public Security Bureau? It's a very nice kid, but it's a pity ......."

"I met Xiong Yanfei at the birthday party and Qihang." Wu Shufang said.

"That's why it's hard to predict. Since the world is unpredictable, it is even more important to cherish it, right? Wu Shufang's father looked at me earnestly.

"I know." I say.

"It's good to know. Here, let's have another drink. ”

Wu Shufang's father raised his glass and clinked glasses with me.

"It seems that Xiao Zheng is a person who values love and righteousness. That's the kind of person I like. Since you are still missing your dead girlfriend, you can see how much you cherish this relationship. The object that Shufang was in the past is not worth cherishing, and my daughter committed suicide for him. What a silly girl. ”

"Dad, how many times have you said it?" Wu Shufang pouted again. Her lower lip was originally thicker than her upper lip, and when she pouted like this, her lower lip appeared to be thicker.

"In turn, it also shows that Shufang is a person who values love and righteousness." I say.

"Yes, yes, Xiao Zheng really knows how to look at the problem." Wu Shufang's father said.

"Look how talkative Qihang is." Wu Shufang said.

"That's why I said you're very fateful. Let me tell you, Xiao Zheng, my daughter's change is really the same as the change in the third year of high school, which is equivalent to saying that she has changed a person all of a sudden, becoming diligent and studious, and her grades have gone up all of a sudden. ”

"My mom used to go to parent-teacher conferences." Wu Shufang interjected.

"Oh." I say.

"But do you know where this change comes from? It's from you, Xiao Zheng. Later, when I applied for the school, I didn't agree with my daughter's application for medical school, but she had to apply, and she applied to the First Clinical College. I was by her. Judging from Shufang's college entrance examination scores, she could have gone to a better school. She applied to this school because of you. ”

"Shufang told me. On the day she applied for the school, Shufang went to Tiezhong. I said.

"Now that you know, I won't worry about it. Finally, I salute the two of you, and I hope that you both will study hard and at the same time grasp it well. ”

"Thank you Dad. Come, set sail, let's do it. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Wu." I picked up my glass and stood up.

"I'll tell you something in advance," Wu Shufang's father stood up, his hand holding the cup trembling a little, "Your father went to my office yesterday. ”

"Is he looking for you?" I chuckled inwardly.

"Your father is a very good teacher, he has worked in Hua'an No. 2 Middle School for so many years, and the teaching work has been carried out very well, so he should be mentioned above."

"Are you going to mention him as the vice principal?" The middle-level leaders of the school, the director of the academic affairs office, and then go one level to the vice principal, of course, is the vice principal, and it is impossible to be directly promoted to the principal. As a principal, my father is already old.

"Pretty much, of course, depending on whether there is a chance. Here, clink glasses, and it's done. Wu Shufang's father said.

I reached out and clinked glasses with them, slowly draining the wine from the glass. I suddenly felt that the taste of this wine was so bitter.

After eating, the driver took Wu Shufang and me to the gate of the college. The college's electric doors are closed. I said goodbye to Wu Shufang's father and got out of the car. Santana 3000 U-turn and leave.

Wu Shufang and I walked side by side into the academy through the small door.

"Didn't drink too much, did you? I see your face is flushed. Wu Shufang asked.

"It's fine."

"Dad's words, don't take it to heart."

"Thank you for understanding me." I say.

"Of course I understand you," Wu Shufang tried to hold my arm, "I know you still have Xiong Yanfei in your heart, but I can wait." I'm sure it's just a matter of time. ”

I smiled silently.

We walked to the classroom. The classroom was extremely noisy. It's not time for evening self-study yet. We walked into the classroom together, and the classroom fell silent. However, there was a lot of commotion immediately.

Someone blew a shrill and shrill whistle. Some people scanned my face and whispered something to my tablemates. I don't know if it was my flushed face or if I walked into the classroom with Wu Shufang and this behavior attracted everyone's attention.

I walked to the back of the classroom. Ding Ying sat in her seat and looked at me.

"Why are you still here? Don't you go to the hospital for injections? I said to Ding Ying.

"You're finally back. It's too unreasonable to go outside and eat and drink and forget all about me. "My concern was exchanged for Ding Ying's criticism.

"Do I owe you anything?" I was annoyed by Ding Ying's words, as if I really owed her something.

"If you don't come back, can I go to the hospital alone for injections?" I don't want Ding Ying to have words.

"Where's your Zhu Defa? Why don't you ask him to come with you? Besides, which classmate can you ask to accompany you? ”

"You're my free escort, of course I have to be with you. Let's go, you see everybody's staring at us. I've already taken a leave of absence from my squad leader. Ding Ying stood up.

"I'm not going."

"Really? That's fine, just wait for the door to pick up your broken metal. ”

"You-"

"Let's go, I'm sure you'll make a wise choice."
