177 Day 24 of the heartbeat
Yang Jiuan lay on the bed and flipped through the WeChat message.
Sai Zai: Last Tuesday next day? Have you figured out how to confess?
She replied: "The choreographer told me that I don't have to confess, the boy will confess to me, the key is that I can't express my position when they confess, and I have to wait until the evening to call before making a decision." β
Xi Zai: Is it so tormenting?
Nani: No! I really don't want to wait a second!
Xi Zai: Haha, reserved, reserved!
Nani: Next Monday I want to invite another boy to a meal and give him a gift, which is considered to be a return to his love for the month, do you think that is appropriate?
Xi Zai: It's quite appropriate, no matter what, people take good care of you, and you should formally express your gratitude if you are reasonable.
Nani: Shall I talk to your boss? I'm afraid he'll misunderstand or be jealous or something.
Xi Zai: Yes, but don't be too deliberate, as if you are reporting to him, otherwise, you let him accompany you to pick up gifts.
Nani: Is that good? Wouldn't it be embarrassing?
Xi Zai: Why, this is also a hint, he must be happy when he knows the reason.
At breakfast the next day, Yang Jiuan quietly asked him: "I want to buy a gift after work, can you accompany me?" β
Shen Yize only said that she bought it for herself, and said with a little blame: "Silly girl, you let me accompany you to buy it, so what surprises are there?" If you buy it yourself, you can send it to me, whatever you want, as long as you send it, I like it. β
"I didn't buy it for you." Yang Jiu'an explained, "Isn't this going to end soon, during this time, you and Feng Le have taken good care of me, so I want to invite him to a meal and give him a small gift before it ends, and thank you for it." β
He subconsciously said, "No, he and I both take good care of you, so you only buy gifts for him alone?" β
"If you want me to invite you to dinner, give you gifts and thank you for taking care of you, that's okay, I'm not afraid that you will nag me again, blame me for being too polite?"
Shen Yize immediately understood, it turned out to be a love meal, this meal could not be eaten, and he planned to make her owe him love for the rest of his life!
He immediately thought: Then should I also invite Yan Zhixi to a meal?
After thinking about it, there is no need, Yan Zhixi only has a good impression of him at most, and there is not much time to really put it into action, let alone take care of it, unlike Feng Le's courtesy to An An.
So he said, "Okay, what time is it?" β
"Five o'clock."
"Okay."
Make an appointment and go out separately.
The penultimate day of the final confession.
Saturday, tomorrow afternoon, will be the last date, and when the date returns it will be Sunday night, leaving him with little time left to prepare gifts.
After handling the company's affairs, he asked He Yu to order a lunch to be sent to the office, and he himself took out the note notebook he bought yesterday from the drawer, with a sky blue cover, just like the simple, fresh and literary style of her diary.
Yesterday morning, An An said that maybe there will be no chance to learn to cook with him in the future.
He knew that An An was joking, but he suddenly thought that it would be good if he could handwrite a Sichuan recipe for her, so that you would think of yourself every time you cook in the future?
Of course, there are two prerequisites for preparing this gift: one is to be able to cook, and the other is to write beautifully. Coincidentally, he has both of these things.
He categorized Sichuan cuisine according to taste: spicy, fishy, spicy, tangerine peel, pepper, sour and spicy, weird, etc., first outlining the universal practices of each flavor, and then listing several classic home-cooked dishes under each category, and finally writing down how to make chili oil and pickled cabbage.
Because it was handwritten, the progress was relatively slow, so he called Liu Dong when he was not sure, and barely finished writing a third of it in one afternoon.
Departed from the company at four o'clock and received An'an at five o'clock.
"Where can I buy it?"
Waiting for An An to get in the car, he asked.
Yang Jiuan asked for his opinion, "I haven't given many gifts to boys, what do you think is more appropriate?" β
Shen Yize thought for a while and said: "I think he likes to drink coffee, why don't you give him coffee, you have drunk a lot of people this month, and you just want to go back." β
She stared at him with a smirk, nodded and said "yes".
When he came to a nearby coffee bean roastery, Shen Yize didn't know anything about coffee, and Yang Jiu'an communicated with the store throughout the whole process, while he walked around the store casually.
In addition to selling fresh coffee beans, this coffee shop also has coffee derivatives such as grinders, coffee machines, Moka pots, mugs, etc.
He picked up a couple of cups, one blue and one pink, with a large handle and a wide belly, a round and playful shape, and the same sentence was printed on the cup: "The cutest in the whole kindergarten!" β
"What are you looking at?"
Yang Jiu'an approached and asked curiously.
Shen Yize handed her the cup and hinted to her: "This pair of cups is quite cute." β
"It's cute," she took and looked at it, "why don't I buy it for him?" β
Shen Yize was suddenly unhappy: "Do you think it's appropriate to give someone a couple cup?" β
"yes, forget it."
Yang Jiu'an put the cup back in its place.
Shen Yize had a black line, and he could only clearly state: "You can send me!" β
She was surprised: "This is a couple's cup, is it appropriate for you?" β
ββ¦β¦β
After buying coffee beans and returning to the car, Shen Yize was still a little depressed.
He can't figure it out now, whether it's because An An is too straight to comprehend, or she has no plans to develop into a couple at all, the former is fine, if it is the latter, it will be very uncomfortable.
"Oops!"
Yang Jiuan suddenly exclaimed.
"What's wrong?"
"My phone seems to have fallen into the store, you wait for me, I'll go back and find it!"
"I'm with youβ"
"No need! I'll be right back! β
Yang Jiuan couldn't help but say, immediately got out of the car, and hurriedly ran to the coffee shop.
This kid can even lose his mobile phone......
Shen Yize looked at her back and shook his head gently.
Yang Jiu'an ran into the store, but instead of looking for a mobile phone, he found the pair of "the cutest in the kindergarten" couple cup, bought it and handed it to the choreographer Xiaolin: "Sister Xiaolin, please help me keep it first, go back to the hut and give it to me, don't tell Teacher Shen!" β
Xiao Lin showed a knowing smile: "Don't worry, I understand, I promise not to say a word." β
"Did you find it?"
Waiting for Yang Jiuan to return to the car, Shen Yize asked.
"Found it!"
"That's good. You are too, frizzy, why don't you just buy coffee beans for someone, what are you anxious about, can you calm down? β
Shen Yize's tone was slightly dissatisfied.
This idiot......
Yang Jiuan pursed his lips and smiled secretly, hiding his pride in his heart and not letting him know, just listening silently.
Back home, it's rare that everyone is there.
Feng Le and Xu Pei were cooking in the kitchen, and everyone else gathered in the courtyard.
"You're changing shifts again?"
Shen Yize asked Cai Youning.
Cai Youning nodded: "I've changed people in the past few days." β
Yang Jiu'an saw the pirate barrel on the table at a glance, and said curiously: "What are you guys playing?" β
Qin Wandi replied: "Truth or Dare." You two are here too! β
"Okay!"
Yang Jiu'an immediately sat down next to Qin Wandi, and it could be seen that she had no resistance to playing games.
The Pirate Barrel is a classic random toy that has been popular for many years, in which the player stabs a knife into a hole in the barrel's body, one of which is connected to a trap, and the one who stabs is the winner or loser.
Six people, you stabbed me and me, and soon the pirate barrel was pierced into a hedgehog, and after three turns, it was Cai Youning's turn again, and a knife stabbed in, and the pirate in the barrel seemed to have been stabbed in the buttocks, and rushed straight to the sky with a snap.
Everyone immediately applauded, and Cai Youning helplessly spread his hands: "You ask." β
This question was naturally asked by Qin Wandi: "From childhood to adulthood, what impressed you the most with the opposite sex?" β
Everyone turned their attention to Cai Youning.
Cai Youning organized the language a little and said calmly: "When I was a child, I often listened to the radio, there was a radio program that I had to chase every night, the anchor was a girl, her voice was very gentle, I called the hotline every day, asked her all kinds of strange questions, and now I think about it, just like what happened yesterday vividly." β
Qin Wandi asked: "So you became a radio anchor, and you were also influenced by her?" β
"Yes. I think radio presenting is a very humane and warm profession, at least that's how she feels to me, and I want to bring warmth and encouragement to others, just like she has brought to me. β
In the second round, Qin Wandi opened first, followed by An An.
Yang Jiu'an stabbed him, and the moment the pirate barrel popped out, there was a burst of applause in the courtyard.
"I'll ask."
Shen Yize took the initiative to say.
"You...... Take it easy! β
Yang Jiuan looked pitiful and begged to be spared.
After a little thought, Shen Yize asked: "What is the most ambiguous thing you have ever had with the opposite sex?" β
He paused, remembering that An An was a female classmate with no story, and hurriedly added: "Before coming to the hut." β
This question stumped Yang Jiu'an, she held her cheeks and recalled for a long time, before she hesitated and said:
"I don't know if it's ambiguous, I didn't grow up in the town, and my mother was only taken to Shudu to study in junior high school. When I first entered junior high school, I was very uncomfortable, I was usually wild, I couldn't sit still, my foundation was poor, I didn't focus on class, and my grades can be imagined. β
"In the first year of junior high school, I was always the last in the class, the teacher asked parents more than a dozen times, it was useless, my mother didn't care about me at all, and then the teachers gave up on me and threw me in the corner of the last row, out of sight and out of mind. It wasn't until the second year of junior high school that the new homeroom teacher changed to a boy with good grades as my tablemateβ"
"Oh~"
Everyone let out a meaningful scream in unison.
Yang Jiuan's face was hot: "It seems that you all guessed, then I won't talk about it." β
"No! Say it! β
How could Shen Yize let her go?
"Do you really want to hear it?"
"Of course!"
"Then you wait, I'll go get something-"
Yang Jiuan ran into the house and came out quickly, holding a pack of milk gummies in his hand.
In front of everyone, she was not embarrassed to hand it directly to Shen Yize, but tore open the outer package and put it on the table, facing him with the opening, the meaning of which was self-evident.
This act shows that something really happened between her and her table mates.
Shen Yize remembered that she wrote in her diary that she had a period of in junior high school, and she couldn't help but feel sour, so she hurriedly ate a milk gummy to suppress her shock.
After Yang Jiu'an sat down, he continued: "The next thing is almost as you think, he is very patient with me, and he tutors me very seriously, helps me sort out my knowledge points, sorts out my mistakes for me, and explains common question types to meββ"
Shen Yize couldn't help but interject: "Is he handsome?" β
Yang Jiuan rewarded him with a roll of his eyes: "It's not important." β
Seeing that she avoided answering, Shen Yize guessed that most of them were handsome.
"I remember once he told me very seriously that he thought I was very good at learning, but I was too playful, and if I could take a little bit, I would casually take the top 100 in my grade. There were more than 800 people in our grade, and I was in the bottom 50 at the time, and he told me that I could take the 100 exam, and I naturally scoffed. β
"He made a bet with me, saying that I studied hard for two years, and if I didn't get into the top 100 of my grade in the high school entrance examination, he would invite me to watch a movie, and if I passed the exam, I would invite him to watch a movie. He was the first person who genuinely thought I was a good learner and had expectations for me. β
Speaking of this, Yang Jiu'an stopped, although many years have passed, once she recalls the green years that changed the trajectory of her life, the corners of her mouth can't help but float a shallow smile.
"And then?"
Everyone asked.
Yang Jiu'an withdrew from his memories and said with a smile: "I was originally a heartless person, but from that day on, I really started to study hard." He would give me some extra homework every day, and if I didn't understand, I would call him and ask him, and sometimes it was eleven or twelve o'clock, and he was still lecturing me. β
"Facts have proved that his vision is not wrong, there is no need to wait for the high school entrance examination, I was admitted to the top 100 in the final exam of the second semester of the second semester of junior high school, and I was selected as a representative to speak on the stage at that parent-teacher meeting, although I thanked the class teacher on the stage and thanked the teacher, but I know that the person I want to thank the most is actually him."
Shen Yize listened silently and ate sugar silently.
Later, my grades rose steadily, and in the second semester of the third year of junior high school, I even surpassed him for a time, not only stable in the top 100 in every monthly exam, but also in the top 10 of my grade several times. After the grades improved, the head teacher let us sit separately, but I always remember our agreement. β
"I played very well in the high school entrance examination, first in the class, in the top five in the school, and in the top 100 in the city, I was so happy that I immediately called him to tell him the good news and asked him to watch a movieββ"
She paused, took a sip of lemon juice from her glass, and the shallow smile on her face faded into place, replaced by a touch of sentimentality.
She whispered: "I was looking forward to it, but he told me that he was in Hudong and couldn't come." I asked him when he would come back and that I could wait for him to come back, but he said that he would not be back, and that their family would be emigrating overseas next week, and the reason why they didn't tell me in advance was because they didn't want to affect my exam status. β
"He asked me which movie I wanted to watch, and he could watch the same movie at the same time as me. I was so angry, I was angry that he didn't tell me before leaving, as if I was betrayed by the person I trusted the most, I refused without thinking about it, and scolded him, and hung up the phone to block him after scolding. β
"But now that I think about it, I still thank him very much, thank you for meeting him the most gentle when I was the most decadent, although he was only a passer-by in my life, but he was the key person who changed the trajectory of my life. It's almost, I said a lot before I knew it, and it didn't seem to be very ambiguous! β
Qin Wandi said with a smile: "It's not so much ambiguous, it's better to be a story of youthfulness and healing." β
Yang Jiu'an sighed: "This is the most ambiguous thing I can think of, I feel that my youth is so dull." β
Shen Yize immediately said: "It's good to be bland, it's true to be bland." β
Cai Youning joked: "I don't know to others, but it must be good for Teacher Shen anyway." β
Everyone laughed.
After eating, it was time for a heart-warming text message.
"It is the pleasure of my life to meet you; Regrettably, I was not involved in your past. Good night~"
