10 The tenth night

On Tuesday night, Ji He corrected the papers and did not leave the office until dark, along with Mr. Luo, the homeroom teacher of Class 5.

After Lu Xunzhi sent her to school in the morning, he set off for Shanghai and would come back in two days.

Teacher Luo is one year older than Ji He, but she has a soft temperament, and her appearance is quiet and intimidating, and even she herself doesn't understand how the school decided to let her be the head teacher of Class 5.

Teacher Luo pushed the little electric donkey out of the carport and patted the back seat with a smile, "Teacher Ji, don't go home to cook, why don't you go to shabu mutton with me?" ”

Ji He thought about the frozen shrimp that had been in the refrigerator for a few days, and it shouldn't be much of a problem to freeze it for another day, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay." ”

I didn't go to any big shopping mall to eat, Mr. Luo's car rode into an alley, and after a twist and turn, it stopped in front of a steaming hot pot restaurant.

The two of them couldn't eat much, so they bought a two-person package on their mobile phones, and there were quite a lot of things, fruits, drinks, and rice.

As soon as Mr. Luo finished drinking his cup of iced Coke, Ji He pushed the cup he didn't drink, "Mr. Luo, you can drink this too." ”

"Aren't you drinking?"

Ji He shook his head, "I don't like to drink this very much. ”

In fact, she was worried that she would be fat, and next week was the wedding, and if she was fat, it would be a joke if she couldn't wear it.

Teacher Luo suddenly became sad while eating, and her eyes sobbed with tears: "I don't want to be this head teacher for a day, they always bully me, disobedient, and rely on the rich and powerful ...... family."

Ji He rarely comforts people, and she doesn't know how to comfort people, so she pulled a tissue and gave it to Teacher Luo, and was quiet as a listener.

"By the way, Teacher Ji, are you and Teacher Shen really not together?"

Ji He: "......"

People who were still crying one second will be thinking like this the next second.

"Not really, he just lives in a neighborhood with me."

Teacher Luo nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Then you shouldn't be single, right?" ”

This kind of beautiful and good woman must be very sought-after, and I heard from other teachers that Mr. Sun, who teaches physical education in the first year of junior high school, likes Ji He very much.

Ji He paused, she really didn't know how to answer this question.

Lu Xunzhi is very low-key, including when he was a student, few people knew that Lu Zhengyan was the old man of his family, and in the eyes of others, he just knew that he was a handsome and noble son of heaven.

As for why Ji He knew it in high school, it was completely by accident.

She thinks that she will marry Lu Xunzhi, and thinks it's better not to be too ostentatious.

She opened her lips and was about to answer when a familiar voice suddenly interrupted her.

"Isn't this Teacher Luo? Yo, Mr. Ji is also there. ”

Teacher Luo's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Teacher Zhong, Teacher Shen, what a coincidence." ”

Ji He looked up and smiled at the two male colleagues.

Shen Qi pushed his glasses, looked at Ji He and said with a smile, "The two teachers finished eating?" If not, don't you mind sharing a table? ”

Teacher Luo nodded hurriedly, "Of course I don't mind, but the dishes may not be enough, you two can order more." ”

In this four-seater position, Ji He and Teacher Luo were sitting on a long bench alone, and Teacher Zhong sat next to Teacher Luo, beckoning the waiter to add food.

Shen Qi had no choice but to sit on Ji He's side, and Ji He moved to the side and gave him a big position.

After eating more mutton, Mr. Zhong was full of praise, "This shop tastes really good, Shen Period, you can come here for dinner next time." ”

Teacher Luo agreed, "It's not expensive, and there are a lot of side dishes." ”

Shen Qi turned his head to look at Ji He, who was drinking water, "What about Mr. Ji, what do you think of the taste?" ”

At this time, Ji He's mobile phone rang.

Ji He put down the cup and said while holding his phone, "I feel pretty good too." ”

It's Lu Xunzhi's phone.

She suddenly stretched her eyebrows, got up and walked out, "I'll go out and answer the phone." ”

Ji He had a very thin long sleeve on his body, and Shen Qi hurriedly said: "Teacher Ji, it's quite cold outside-"

Before he finished speaking, the person was no longer in the store, he glanced to the side, picked up Ji He's coat and went out.

Ji He was shivering by the wind as soon as she went out of the door, she stood under the eaves and hugged her arms, and Lu Xunzhi on the other end of the phone was asking her if the dinner had been solved.

"I'm eating out with my colleagues, what about you?" Her voice was soft and soft.

Lu Xunzhi raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "Just finished busy." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a clear and audible male voice on Ji He's side.

"Teacher Ji, put on your clothes, it's cold here."

Ji He hurriedly thanked him, took his clothes and put them on, and instantly warmed up a lot.

Shen Qi entered the store after giving the clothes, although he also wanted to know whose call made Ji He so happy.

But the answer seems to be self-evident, such as the man who came to pick up Ji He from work that morning.

Lu Xunzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Disturbing your dinner?" ”

"Huh? No, no," it may be that she just listened to Mr. Luo this night, and now she actually has a strong desire to express herself to Lu Xunzhi, "Actually, I have already eaten enough, and then two colleagues also came here, so I accompanied them to eat for a while, eating shabu mutton, dipped in sesame sauce and eating special fragrance." ”

"When you go back to Beijing the day after tomorrow, let's go eat together?" She asked slowly.

Lu Xunzhi was silent for a few seconds and said, "I have to fly to Los Angeles after I am busy with things here in Shanghai." ”

Someone over there is urging Lu Xunzhi to enter the house, saying that if you don't come in, everyone is embarrassed to move the chopsticks first.

Ji He suppressed the loss in his heart and hurriedly said, "You are busy first, and we will contact you when we are free." ”

Lu Xunzhi said: "Beijing is cooling down, pay attention to keeping warm. ”

After hanging up the phone, Ji He didn't enter the store immediately, she wrapped her coat tightly and raised her eyes to stare at the lonely night.

The next time I come back, it's probably a wedding.

-

In the past few days of Lu Xunzhi's business trip, Professor Ning came back from Xiamen, Ji He met with her, and the old lady gave her a jade bracelet, saying that it was the dowry when she married Lu Xunzhi's grandfather.

After getting off work that day, Ji He was picked up by Aunt Lu and Aunt Lu, and took her to familiarize herself with the wedding venue, which was in a sacred church, and the banquet was in the most upscale hotel in the city.

"This is not what I and Aunt Lu chose, it was decided by Xunzhi early," Auntie smiled with relief, "Seeing how much people value you, you have to pick the best in everything, you, pick up the treasure." ”

Aunt Lu covered her lips and smiled: "Don't say that, if you want to say that you have picked up a treasure, our family Xunzhi is talented, Ji He is so beautiful and excellent, but it is so dangerous that I will look at it, otherwise how can Xunzhi have this blessing." ”

"If you want me to say, thanks to your discernment, sister-in-law, the only jewel in our family is favored by you at a glance."

"Where is it, it is my aunt who has a unique vision and can look down on my family.

......

Ji He held a cup of hot tea, turned his head to look at the foggy glass window, and quietly listened to the business blows of the two elders.

It has been three days since Lu Xunzhi arrived in the United States, and the time difference is different, and Ji He does not feel left out, because he calls her at six o'clock in the morning every day domestic time.

His phone worked better than an alarm clock, waking her up from her sleep in an instant.

Although, at the beginning of the phone, Lu Xunzhi always asked those questions in a polite tone, such as: Are you awake? What to eat in the morning? How many classes are there today? Where to eat at night?

I didn't ask about noon, probably because the school included the lunch at noon.

But these trivial questions, Ji He felt very sweet when he heard them, and twisted them on the bed with the quilt.

Waking up early, which workers hate the most, is the happiest time of the day for her now.

-

On the eve of the wedding, Qu Zhiyi took leave to return to Beijing, and the two of them nestled on the sofa and watched a movie for a day.

Ji He comfortably rested on Qu Zhiyi's lap, "Zhiyi, when will you and Song Yao get married?" ”

Qu Zhiyi ate the chocolate bar brought back by Ji He, "It's good now, isn't it just an extra certificate to get married." ”

Ji He stared at her calm face for a long time.

At that time, they were still in college, and Zhiyi always told her that she would go to get the certificate with Song Yao as soon as she graduated, Zhiyi's eyes were full of warm love and longing when she said this, maybe Song Yao now also understands in her heart that that is when Qu Zhiyi loves him the most.

As a bystander, Ji He witnessed Qu Zhiyi's love from ten to five points, and Song Yao's love from zero to ten points, entangled and reluctant, reluctant to separate, but there was no reciprocal love when they were together.

Qu Zhiyi took the liquor box and shook Ji He's gaze, and asked, "Prince Lu won't wait until the wedding day to show up, right?" ”

Ji He smiled: "No, he will be able to return tomorrow morning." ”

The time is really in a hurry, tomorrow's time is used to get the certificate, and the day after tomorrow is the day of the wedding.

-

Before going to bed at night, Ji He adjusted the time to pick up the airport early tomorrow morning, but the doorbell rang before dawn the next morning, she struggled to get up from the bed, sleepy eyes to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, she saw the man standing at the door, and the whole person trembled as if he had been hit by electricity, and she asked with surprise on her face, "Why are you here now?" ”

Lu Xunzhi's dark eyes paused on Ji Hesujing's face for a few seconds, and said slowly: "It's changed." ”

Ji He suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly raised her hand to cover her face, every time she met Lu Xunzhi in the past, she would put on light makeup and clean herself up, and it was the first time that she appeared in front of him with such an unkempt face.

She couldn't adapt, afraid that the way she just woke up would scare Lu Xunzhi.

It's all to blame for his sneak attack.

I blamed him like this in my heart, but I couldn't hide the smile on the corner of my mouth.

Lu Xunzhi smiled, grabbed her face-covering hand, and his voice was thick with tiredness, "How long are you going to let me stand at the door?" ”

Without cover, Ji He's white cheeks flushed, and she tilted her head to the side, "Then you come in." ”

Before sending her back from work, Lu Xunzhi had only come here once, and he was going to go in and sit, but he was driven away by two fierce cats on the sofa.

Lu Xunzhi glanced sideways, and the interior furnishings of the room were unobstructed, and there were warm words everywhere, "Your big white orange welcomes me?" ”

Ji He pulled him with his other hand, "I'll communicate with them." ”

Lu Xunzhi's eyebrows raised slightly, "You still know how to talk cats?" ”

Ji He raised his eyes to look at him and "meowed" coldly.

...

At this moment, Ji He wanted to sing a song - he was most afraid that the air would suddenly be quiet...

A sense of shame came over me, and I couldn't wait to find a hole in the ground to get into.

O God! What the hell was she doing!!

Lu Xunzhi looked at the girl in front of him for a long time, then turned his face away, coughed lowly, and asked her for a glass of water.

Ji He fled into the kitchen, leaving the two cats who came out of the room to stare at Lu Xunzhi in horror.

Da Bai felt that the other party's momentum was terrifying, and ran back to the room.

Da Tang felt that this person was here to grab the territory, hunched his back, fried his hair, and his eyes were round, wanting to use his small body to fight.

Lu Xunzhi didn't take the big orange to heart at all, leaned on the sofa idly, and looked around the living room dominated by white and logs, which was very simple everywhere, unlike Huo Shuman's house, which was full of strange decorations.

On the small round table next to the sofa was a bunch of golden ears of wheat with a flower basket and a few old books on the table.

This room is filled with a faint fragrance, the smell of jasmine, which is the same as the breath on Ji He's body, refreshing.

Ji He slowly poured water out of the kitchen.

Lu Xunzhi sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, and his frowning eyebrows stretched out when he was tired, as if he was asleep.

She quietly walked over to put the water, then picked up the big orange who was still in a state of battle and entered the bedroom, took a thin blanket and covered it with Lu Xunzhi.

When Lu Xunzhi woke up, it was already nine o'clock, and when he opened his eyes, a small white figure jumped down from the single sofa and rushed to the balcony like an arrow.

He lifted the blanket on his body, and the moment he raised his eyes, he saw Ji He sitting on the balcony hanging chair.

She was dressed in simple loungewear, her hair was loosely combed behind her head, a few strands of hair fell to her ears, her eyelashes were thick and curled, her side face was clean and soft, she was looking intently at the book in her hand, and her other hand was caressing the orange cat on her leg without a match.

Lu Xunzhi remembered Professor Ning's sentence 'When I see her, I will inexplicably have a feeling that the years are quiet'.

Suddenly he had a strange thought, walked over, and leaned down.

scared the cat away and ruined the quiet scene of the years.
