"Teacher Shen is back?"

The wind was slightly cool at night, and the street lamps illuminated the overlapping shadows of two people.

Yan Ci followed Shen Pingxiao and stood outside the gate of the Ruiyang Special School for the Disabled, and the uncle who guarded the door immediately greeted him with a smile.

Shen Pingxiao smiled and nodded.

"Uncle Yang."

Yan Ci looked at this Uncle Yang's walking posture a little strangely, and he couldn't help but stare at other people's legs.

Uncle Yang didn't mind her strange gaze, and generously lifted a section of trouser tube, which was a metal prosthetic leg, and the thin feet were so thin that they were pierced into the shoes.

"My leg is broken, no, I have to learn to walk on stilts."

Uncle Yang's joke immediately eased the atmosphere, and then asked.

"Teacher Shen, girlfriend?"

Uncle Yang's Mandarin is not very standard, and the accent of "girlfriend" is a bit like "your friend", but his eyebrows are still very easy to distinguish.

Yan Ci forgot to introduce himself, and was about to speak, when Shen Pingxiao nodded solemnly on the side.

"Come here for a while."

Uncle Yang maintained a happy look and greeted the two of them into the door with a smile.

"Girl, don't be restrained, go around like your own house!"

Yan Ci laughed frequently, scratching his ears and cheeks to change the topic.

Shen Pingxiao did his best to be a landlord and brought her over to introduce the situation.

"Uncle Yang also retired from the army, and he is very good and optimistic."

Yan Ci nodded.

"I see."

Shen Pingxiao said his own.

"The children here are all deaf and mute, and there are a small number of teachers and staff like Uncle Yang, who have a little physical defect, they are all very good, you really don't have to be restrained......"

Yan followed suit, his eardrum seemed to be fogged, his words were indistinct, and his mind was full of images of him just nodding his head and acknowledging that she was his girlfriend.

It wasn't until Shen Pingxiao led her to the faculty dormitory and snapped his fingers in front of her that she came to her senses.

"What do you think? So fascinating. ”

Yan Ci disguised.

"Nothing, a little tired."

"It's a little late, so you can rest for a while, and I'll be busy."

The house is not big, it is a single dormitory layout, the housekeeping is as neat as visiting the barracks, and the quilt folded into a tofu block is reluctant to touch it.

She just sat stupidly in the corner of the bed, feeling the deer in her heart crash.

After a while, Shen Pingxiao carried a folding single bed in his left hand and a large bag of futon in his right hand, and entered the door lightly, finding that Yan Ci was not sleeping, and couldn't help but explain one or two.

"There is no spare room, the housekeeper borrowed me a bed, I will take care of it tonight, and I will find a way for you tomorrow."

Yan Ci helped him take the big bag of things.

"It's okay, I don't pick, that's it."

She pretended to rummage through the camera charger as she changed the subject.

"I heard Uncle Yang call you 'Teacher Shen', what subjects do you teach?"

Shen Pingxiao replied while making the bed.

"Sports."

Yan Ci said half-seriously and half-jokingly.

"It's a pity that I don't need a photography teacher here, in fact, I can also teach Chinese and painting."

"Do you know sign language?"

Yan Ci forgot that the children here are all deaf and mute.

"Not very good."

Shen Pingxiao was behind her, unable to see his expression.

"I can teach you."

Yan Ci said in surprise.

"You're going to do this?"

"As a teacher in this kind of special school, I don't know how to do sign language. But don't underestimate these children, they are smart, half of my sign language was taught by me, and half was taught to me by children. Sometimes I teach them lip language, and they teach me sign language. ”

Yan Ci said smoothly.

"Then when are you going to teach me?"

"See when you come to my class."

Yan Ci felt that this topic was over, and frantically looked for the next topic, and a spark flashed in his mind.

"How's my uncle and aunt?"

Shen Pingxiao was silent, Yan Ci felt a little bad, and when he turned around, he saw that the movements of his hands had slowed down.

"My dad, sacrificed."

"My mother also remarried when I joined the army."

Such a small faculty dormitory is not a simple shelter from the wind and rain, it is Shen Pingxiao's only home.

Yan Ci accidentally poked people in the sore spot, and apologized weakly.

"I'm sorry."

After so many years, Shen Pingxiao should have been relieved a long time ago.

"It's nothing, what about Uncle Yan?"

Yan Ci responded slowly.

"My parents are very good, they just think that I am such a girl with such a wild heart, wandering outside every day, and nagging me whenever I have the opportunity."

"Don't say it, I'm used to being alone, the kind of stable life with only three meals a day, but I'm not used to it, and it's uncomfortable to move around."

Shen Pingxiao is not the kind of person who is silent, but he is by no means a talker, he is used to listening, and he is not a person who will take the initiative to find a topic.

After a few reincarnations, Yan Ci couldn't move, and looked at Shen Pingxiao with his eyes, because there was an extra person of the opposite sex in the family, and he was so depressed that he didn't know how to deal with himself.

"Go to bed early."

"Hmm."

The lights went out, Yan Ci groped his way to bed with the sound of squeaking friction, and felt that the old antique under him would fall apart if he moved a little more.

When she lay down, she could smell the rotting wood.

Yan Ci knew her weight, she looked at the few catties of meat, but it was actually a concentrated essence, and she was very handy.

She hypnotized herself with her eyes closed, praying secretly.

Don't collapse.

Don't collapse.

At least survive tonight.

The tiredness of the days made her quickly fall asleep half-asleep, forgetting the hint that it was better not to move, and following her instincts, she really turned over, and she didn't control her strength at all.

"Smack!"

The bed board was concave, and the four upright corners of the bed instantly became turtle legs with four backs and eight forks, and they collapsed gloriously.

Yan Ci woke up suddenly, and before he could react to what was happening, he was picked up by Shen Pingxiao.

His soft voice was in his ears.

"Are you alright?"

Yan Ci was still very confused, half of his brain was struggling, and half of his brain was sleeping.

"Huh?"

Shen Pingxiao saw her ignorant and snooze, hugged her to his bed, and slowly cleaned up the mess by himself.

When he was done, he shrugged his shoulders and stood in front of the bed with his hands on his hips, only to see Yan Ci holding his quilt, half of his head buried in it, and he couldn't wake up from sleeping.

"It's so loud, and I can sleep so soundly."

He said his.

She sleeps hers.

Do not interfere with each other.

Shen Pingxiao accepted his fate, bent forward, snatched out the quilt she was holding in his hand, and whispered while carefully covering her.

"Huh...... is so defenseless, and I'm not afraid of being remembered by bad guys. ”

The bad guy who thinks about her is afraid that he will reveal his true nature, so he deliberately dodges his eyes and wraps her tightly without leaving a gap.

Shen Pingxiao generously gave up the bed to Yan Ci, sighed by himself, and spread the quilt on the ground, making do with this grinding night.
