The two of them went around in a circle, and the sky gradually darkened before returning home. The beautiful scenery on the sea in the evening is something that Jian Yi has never seen, although she has lived here for several years, she has never been to the sea. At most, it's just a walk along the shore.

When the two returned to school, it was already dark, and the light in Fan Xiaoxi's room was still on. Leaving her out, Jian Yi was very upset, and knocked on the door to ask if she had slept.

Fan Xiaoxi hadn't slept yet, but she was playing a game, she was fascinated, and Jian Yi didn't stand for long before returning to her room.

I went out with Zhou Qi for a walk, and the homework she collected today was not corrected at all, and she had a headache when she looked at the stacks of books when she went back. I guess I'll have to go to bed late again tonight.

She was worried about the uncorrected homework, and Zhou Qi had already brought his notebook over to deal with the work with her. He sat down in the seat opposite her, and said slowly, "You're busy with you, don't worry about me." It won't bother you. ”

She blocked everything she had to say.

Jian Yi had to swallow his words back, bury his head and start grading his homework.

Sometimes her brows stretched, sometimes she wrinkled tightly, and the expression on her face was relieved and helpless. After sitting for so long, Zhou got up and made a cup of tea in front of her, opened the homework in front of her, and asked, "Do you need my help?" ”

The child's handwriting is so open, it's no wonder that the expression on her face is rich, and it's really a headache. There are no tutoring classes, not even parent homework, so the students' grades are uneven. No matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't make a big improvement in the students with poor grades. You can only settle for the second best thing, and the homework should be neat and tidy.

It's a lot better now, when she first came here, many students didn't hand in their homework, and it was very perfunctory to hand in, all ghost drawings.

Jian Yi's eyes stared sour and astringent, and he shook his head and said no.

"Let's rest for a while." Zhou Qi pushed the teacup in front of her.

Jian Yi stopped, let out a long sigh, picked up the teacup, blew the tea cold, and drank it slowly. The room was quiet, and the cups were steaming hot. In the rare tranquility of this moment, neither of them spoke to break the beauty of this moment.

After drinking a cup of tea, Jian Yi continued to correct homework. Zhou Qi also sat back in his place and continued to deal with the things left over from the day. The place where he works has moved here, and it will add a lot of trouble and a lot of trouble.

The two of them worked at their desks, and it wasn't until after eleven o'clock that Jian Yi straightened up from a pile of homework. Zhou Qi looked up at her and asked, "Is the correction done?" ”

Jian Yi yawned and said, "Well, it's finally over." But she didn't stand up, but took out a notebook from the side and muttered, "I still have to prepare for class." ”

This is her usual job, sometimes after dealing with things late at night, in the empty school where she lives alone, she feels inexplicably furious, and quickly goes to bed when the lights are turned off.

Zhou Qi put down the notebook in his hand and asked, "What do you want to eat?" I'll get you some supper. ”

Jian Yi shook his head, said no, and said, "Go to sleep after you deal with it, don't worry about me." ”

She said and went back to work.

Zhou Qi didn't speak, didn't bother her, and stood up.

Jian Yi buried himself in his work and didn't notice what he was doing, and it wasn't until he finished preparing for the morning class that he realized that he had cooked noodles. He put the table on the table in front of her and said, "How about it taste." ”

The noodles in the bowl were steaming hot, and a few shrimps were spread on top. Jian Yi rarely had a late night snack, but he still took it and said thank you to him.

There was something hot in the middle of the night that easily dispelled the fatigue in her body, and fine and dense sweat broke out on Jian Yi's forehead, and she sighed softly.

Zhou Qi also ate noodles, he finished eating before her, and asked, "Do you feel tired?" ”

Jian Yi nodded and said, "Yes, but it feels very fulfilling." "Especially when she first came here, she didn't have time to think about anything else when she was busy, and she often even fell asleep.

Zhou Qi didn't speak, just stared at her. After a long time, he opened his mouth again and asked, "Is your ear better now?" ”

This question he wanted to ask for a long time, but it involved too many bad memories, and he couldn't ask it every time the words came to his lips.

The expression on Jian Yi's face did not change in any way, she nodded, and said, "I have recovered almost the same as before." When she first came here, she often had tinnitus, but later she was prescribed Chinese medicine by the old Chinese medicine doctor on the island, and the tinnitus gradually lessened. She began to deal with hearing loss with a normal mind, and asked students to be louder when she spoke. Later, before she knew it, her hearing slowly began to recover, and she no longer had tinnitus or other discomforts.

Zhou Qiqi nodded and stopped talking.

Jian Yi didn't linger on this topic, and quickly drank the last bit of soup in the bowl. said to Zhou Qi, who was standing and didn't know what to think: "Just leave the bowl over there, I'll get up tomorrow and wash it again." ”

When she came back, she started to correct her homework, and she hadn't washed up yet. At this time, I put down the dishes and chopsticks and went to brush my teeth and take a shower.

It was not early, she thought that Zhou Qi would go back to her room to sleep first. But when he came out of the shower, he found that he was still standing outside, with his back to her, and was smoking.

She couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and asked, "Why don't you sleep yet?" ”

Zhou Qi turned around, dusted off the cigarette ash in his hand, spit out a puff of smoke, and said, "Just go to sleep." Her hair was still wet and dripping, and his gaze stayed on it, and he said, "Dry your hair before sleeping, be careful that you will have a headache in the future." ”

Jian Yi usually sleeps by rubbing it randomly, and when she sleeps, her hair is dry. At this time, I heard his advice a little weak, nodded randomly, and mumbled. Then he walked briskly back to his room and closed the door.

Zhou Qi was not in a hurry to go back to the room at all, and stood under the eaves and smoked. A dull yellow light came through the window, stretching his shadow long. He brought the cigarette to his lips and took a deep breath, staring at the sky with deep eyes, and then slowly exhaling the smoke.

The island is quiet in the middle of the night, without the hustle and bustle of ordinary children, and it is as quiet as if it is in another world. He didn't know what he was thinking, so he just stood quietly, taking a puff of cigarette from time to time. It wasn't until the light in Jianyi's window went out that he glanced back and snuffed out the cigarette butt that was already running out.

He stood there for a moment, tossed the cigarette butt into the trash can beside him, and then slowly returned to the room.
