Xu Zhiliu leaned against the toilet and sat on the floor tiles, the sound of "good" kept flashing in his mind, Xiao Liang's voice was so gentle, but his eyes were so cold.

He personally experienced the instantaneous changes in Liang Peiqiu's eyes, and his heart was about to tear.

The boy who would wait for him on the osmanthus tree every night, lie with him and say "the moon is big and round tonight" to make the little scholar happy, the boy who came to ask him how to write an official post, took out the braised pig's trotters from his arms and asked if he could come to him again in the future, the boy whose eyes were full of light when he came to ask him how to write an official post, took out the braised pig's trotters from his arms and asked if he could come to him again in the future......

The young man who questioned him with "Hengqu Quotations" whether he killed people for fame and fortune but never couldn't bear to be his enemy, and still hoped for his cherishment, the young man who was persecuted by him on his birthday, but said that he felt happy under the moonlight, and the young man who finally pointed to his nose and denounced him as "not a general or a good craftsman", but broke his leg for him and fell for him......

He's dead.

Die in a world where none of them can do anything about it.

How much he wanted to go back and tell him, give up Xiao Liang, stop fighting, how can mortals fight with the sky? Even if the head is broken and the blood flows, as he said, everything cannot escape the unpredictability of people's hearts. In that case, why not be selfish and abandon everything to avoid the hustle and bustle? They should all escape from this world, go to the boundless realm, and live a good life for themselves.

He thought so and left the house and walked on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve. The streets are lit up with lights, there are traces of celebration everywhere, and there are still people setting off firecrackers in the alleys, mixed with laughter and human voices, far and near, constantly pulling reality and dreams.

He stood by the river, his expression blank, as if he had been surging with the surging river until the snowflakes fell.

He is the only one in this world.

Xiao Liang's world is also the only one.

They are lonely and tormented in another world, maybe that's okay? With nostalgia, those coldness are not enough. However, he is not yet weak, so weak, so pitiful, why should he weigh this heavy and filthy world on his spine? Why let them meet and let them separate?

He didn't understand, why did God treat them like this?

He walked through the snowy night, not knowing where to go, where to go, not knowing where to be, not knowing when he would stop, not knowing where the end would be. Goose-feathered snow flew in front of him, obscuring the road ahead, and he ran aimlessly, falling and getting up, and falling and falling, the cold snow wetting his clothes and hair. Ignoring it, he walked forward with all his heart, as if to drive away the long and endless night.

He thought that if he was so lonely and not seen, he could cry unscrupulously, right? So he whimpered and wailed more and more, and became more and more wavelike.

He asked God aloud, when will you let him go?

He asked aloud, how do you want him to go down?

None of this is destined to be a foregone conclusion.

After a night, Xu Zhiliu finally made up his mind to return the porcelain pieces to Cheng Yubai. Originally, he was reluctant to Xu Qing, reluctant to Cheng more than white, reluctant to give up the new ceramic innovation and Baicai reform, and reluctant to give up the bright future and warm city. He has too many reluctances, and the most difficult thing to give up is the enthusiasm that has never been there, which has never been there, so that he has taken root in this world.

But God tells others that they can't be greedy, that they can't keep yesterday and today at the same time. In that case, let him continue to rot. He wanted Cheng Yubai to repair the spring and summer bowls, to see the broken pictures with his own eyes, and to die together with Xiao Liang's cold eyes.

He wants to live forever and repent.

That's how he was going to die.

……

At the beginning of the new year in February, everything recovered, and the Magnolia Mansion officially began the teaching experiment. Xu Qing went to listen to two lectures, one by Liu Hong, on what kind of glaze is history, and the other by Wu Yi, on the discussion of tea utensils and humanistic relations.

The experimental stage of teaching is mainly divided into several sections, including the content output and consciousness establishment of the college style, but also emphasizes the conflict and integration of the old and the new, aiming to open students' horizons and observe their matching and application of the teaching content in real time.

Just as Cheng Yubai said in the first episode of "The Great Power", he adopted the method of branch teaching, and set up multiple departments such as raw material experimental department, raw material refining department, product department, firing department, and porcelain decoration department, so that students can practice on a mobile basis, find points of interest and strength, and maximize their advantages.

The teachers in each department alone are a great asset.

Wu Yi said that this must be a long-term process, at least half a year, or as long as two or three years, before it is possible to prove the value of new teaching through effective data. In Cheng Yubai's plan, this time can be used to complete the infrastructure construction of No. 9.

In the afternoon, Wu Yi finished class and asked Xu Qing to go to Mingquan Tea House for dinner. The old saying was brought up again during the meal, and it was still her life's event, Wu Yi sighed with her white hair, and the teacher showed her the photos of the young talents in the school.

Xu Qing glanced at the chopsticks and put them down, and the master hurriedly said, "Don't like it?" I still have. ”

"No, I ......" Xu Qing looked at the old couple and sighed, "Teacher, I don't want to go on a blind date." ”

"What's so bad about blind dates? You young people are old-fashioned, and you always feel that blind dates are compulsive socialization, so what does it matter if you are open-minded and have a few more friends? Wu Yi stared at her for a while, and made a look of understanding, "Yes, I'll see how long you hold back." ”

Wu Yicai took down the photos of the young talents, and took out a stack of photos of urban beauties, "After eating, you go to a scoop of drinks and take a trip, and give Yibai a pot of health soup." ”

The reasons are all ready-made, "Now that he runs around the mansion all day long, how can he have time to cook?" Can you eat nutritious outside? If you run an errand for me, you should be considerate of the hard work of the teacher. Oh, by the way, give him the photos to choose, and tell me if you have a good idea, and I'll let your wife arrange it. ”

Xu Qing said okay, took the photo and wiped his mouth and left.

Wu Yi scolded with a smile behind him: "A turtle with a shrunken head!" "I thought about it, no, "Two! ”

These days are cold and windy. Xu Qing was almost blown away by the wind as soon as he went out, as if in order to meet the occasion, Xu Zhiliu's robe was also lifted up to half a height.

She looked straight and happy, but after a while, her eyes and nose were red from the cold, Xu Zhiliu laughed at her retribution, she still didn't believe it, and when the door was closed, she believed it a little, and said that she shouldn't laugh at Xu Zhiliu.

After calling a few times and no one answered, she called Cheng Yubai.

Cheng Yubai didn't know where it was, the signal was intermittent, and when he heard that the teacher asked her to deliver the soup, he smiled vaguely: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go back for a while, you drink it for me." ”

Xu Qing said yes.

Cheng Yubai saw that she didn't hang up the phone, and asked again: "Is there anything else?" ”

She didn't know how to speak.

Wu Yi is an old fox, his mind doesn't need to be concealed at all, she is not a fool, asking her to send the soup is nothing more than a high-sounding reason, the main contradiction is to test her attitude through Cheng Yubai's attitude towards blind dates. But it's hard for her to say this, and it's easy to misunderstand if she doesn't say it well.

"I ......"

"What did you say?"

"When are you coming back?"

"It's estimated that it's late, just say if you have something."

Xu Qing thought for a while, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a woman's voice: "Yibai, whose phone call, why did you talk about it for so long?" Everyone is waiting for you. ”

The woman's voice is soft and familiar.

Xu Qing paused: "It's okay, you get busy first." ”

Xu Zhiliu saw her hang up the phone, thinking that she was running in vain, and hurriedly asked, "Is he outside?" ”

"It should be at dinner, and I can't hear me clearly."

But listening to the voice, he seems to be in a good mood tonight. The teaching of Magnolia Mansion has been carried out smoothly, and Hong Kong Mingcheng Capital has settled in to provide guarantee for teaching resources and funds, coupled with the strong support of Wanhe Media, it is said that it is an experiment and it is imperative to reform Baicai. Nowadays, there is a lot of attention both inside and outside the industry, and the number of applicants is also skyrocketing.

He was rejoicing.

However, Xu Zhiliu didn't seem very happy when she saw her, so she said, "I'll call him again when I go back." ”

"Forget it, he doesn't have a mouthful." Xu Qing smiled and opened the thermos pot, "You're hungry on the road, right?" Drink while hot. ”

They sat in the doorway of a scoop of drinks, and occasionally someone walked in front of them. Xu Zhiliu was worried about being seen by passers-by, so he waved his hand and said, "You drink." ”

"What are you afraid of when others can't see you? Besides, I drank three cups of oolong in the afternoon tea ceremony, and I was forced by the teacher to stuff a big bowl of rice in the evening, do you want to see me die? ”

"Okay."

Xu Zhiliu took it reluctantly, and took the steaming soup with a spoon, so that he closed his eyes: "It's so delicious." ”

Xu Qingtuo looked at him with his cheeks: "Why didn't I find out that you still have gluttonous worms in your stomach." ”

"I don't know why, but I've had a really good appetite lately."

Xu Qing suddenly thought of his grandfather. The old man was very gluttonous for a period of time before he died, and he loved to eat fried things on the street, such as stinky tofu, chicken fillets and rice cakes, and he didn't pick meat and vegetables, just delicious.

"Sometimes he can't sleep because of the pain in his body, so I buy it for him to eat, and he eats it very well."

"Really?"

"Well, I heard from the nurses in the hospital that there are many elderly people who love to eat junk food before leaving, and in their opinion, their lives may not be long, rather than living cautiously, it is better to indulge, eat whatever they want, and do whatever they want, so that they are in a good mood and their pain can be relieved."

Xu Zhiliu nodded: "Food is indeed a good comfort for a person in the face of death." ”

Maybe there will be such a time when people are dying, right? Because I am too nostalgic for this world, I dare not close my eyes, dare not miss every food, and dare not forget everyone.

"Next time I'll want to eat fried food too."

"Okay, I'll take you back, there are a lot of night markets."

Xu Zhiliu took a sip of soup, her body was warm, and her cold heart seemed to have been ironed.

He asked Xu Qing, "Are you afraid of death?" ”

Xu Qing shook his head: "I'm afraid of regret." ”

"You're braver than I am."

"You're still young." Xu Qing asked him, "What day is your birthday?" Twenty years old? ”

"Not yet, in the summer."

"That's good, I'll give you your birthday in the summer. In your dynasty, did you still have to do the crown salute? ”

"Hmm."

"Then I will prepare well to make your coming-of-age ceremony unforgettable."

"Thank you, Xu Qing."

It was not the first day that Xu Zhiliu was gluttonous, Xu Qing didn't notice the change in his eyes, bent down to pat him on the dust at the corner of his clothes, and didn't care: "Thank you." ”

There are so many things to thank, but unfortunately it is difficult to say a word. Xu Zhiliu looked back at a scoop of drink, touched the broken porcelain piece hidden in the cuff, and his body was cold.

They waited for a while, and by ten o'clock in the evening, Cheng Yubai had not returned, Xu Qing was going to leave first, and then he would give him the photo when he had time. Originally, it was a bit strange to stay and wait, Xu Zhiliu didn't ask her, she pretended not to be deliberate, except that her nose had been frozen and unconscious, there was really no trace of deliberateness.

But just as they were packing up the soup pot and preparing to leave, a beam of headlights shone through.

The car stopped not far away, and the two figures approached hand in hand. In front of him, the headlights were blocked by the figure, and Xu Qing saw the two people snuggling together in the night.

"Slow down." The woman's voice was charming but not coquettish, and she said angrily, "Your alcohol consumption has regressed, why are you drunk like this after only half a bottle?" Okay, bear with me a little longer, and I'm home. ”

Cheng Yubai snorted lightly, raised his head, and exchanged eyes with Xu Qing.

The woman also looked at it.

It's Lai Zi.
