Mistake

In June, the school entered the end-of-semester field, and the flowers of the motherland were busy with reviewing and taking exams.

By convention, electives will be tested first, so as to leave time for students to review professional courses.Kang Lujie’s performance in the aesthetics class this semester was really not satisfactory. In the first two months of the semester, because she had an unruly attitude towards the teacher, she kept showing up, and sometimes she would just sit around when she shouldn’t be there. Attendance rate is an important item in the final assessment of elective courses.

Kang Lujie stepped into the front door of Zhuang Ze's office with a heart to go through the back door.

Zhuang Ze looked up and saw that it was her, and immediately knew the reason for her coming, and said with a smile: "Student Kang Lujie, are you here?"

"Hey." Kang Lujie greeted this smile, and walked to the table with a guilty conscience, holding an aesthetics textbook in her hand, with a pious expression on her face, "Mr. Zhuang, about my final grades, I was once tutored... ...to talk to you."

Zhuang Ze put down his pen and pointed to the small chair beside the table: "Sit."

Kang Lujie blinked and looked at him, muttering to himself, "Why does it look more and more like him?", while sitting down, her eyes followed the movement of Zhuang Ze's mouse.Opened a report form on the computer desktop, pulled it down, and the column for her was frozen, and the data for the attendance item was really embarrassing.Zhuang Ze glanced at her, then turned to look at her.

"I won't talk nonsense. Your problem lies in your attitude. Since you have chosen my course, no matter what your original intention is, you should stick to it." He clasped his fingers and tapped on the desk, "I It's not fair to other students to just give you a pass, let's let it go for a while, and see if you can improve your test scores in the end, how about it?"

Sounds good, but it just doesn't feel right.Kang Lujie thought for a while, and found the problem that was not so good, she stared: "Teacher, why are you taking the exam in this class?"

Zhuang Ze: "Close the book."

"Closed the book!" Kang Lujie tightened her hand on the textbook, looking like she was about to cry, "Don't tell me, teacher, you are scaring me. How can the elective course be closed? I haven't even turned a few pages in this book. Close the book." I don’t even know if I can pass the [-]th grade.”

Zhuang Ze: "You can still take a look at it during your review time."

Kang Lujie: "The exam is tomorrow afternoon, how can I have time to review and write it down?"

After Zhuang Ze heard this, his smile widened again, from the simple smile just now to a desperate smile.

Kang Lujie pursed her lips, leaned against the table, with a sincere "please let me go" in her eyes, and said coquettishly: "Mr. Zhuang, don't scare me. I will definitely read the book when I go back tonight. Tomorrow I was wrong for not taking many classes in the second half of the semester, and I shouldn’t have wasted your spot, so please forgive me, I still gained a lot from your class, and I didn’t choose courses for nothing.”

"Hmm." Zhuang Ze raised his brows, and he didn't buy into this unrealistic verbal confession.

Kang Lujie stirred her fingers: "Why don't you discuss it with my parents?"

Zhuang Ze didn't say anything, but thought to himself, the shameless member of the family, on the surface, he is still gentle and steady as a teacher: "If you miss a few classes, just give me a report of missing classes for a few classes, and let me know that you are kind." But, I will forcefully give you this pass, isn’t it too much?”

Kang Lujie was overjoyed and shook her head: "Not too much, not too much, thank you teacher!"

Zhuang Ze waved his hand: "It's nothing, you can go to review." As he spoke, the mouse in his hand had moved to the off button, and it seemed that he was going to get off work.

Kang Lujie stood up holding the book, and confirmed unwillingly and uneasy: "This exam is an open book, right?"

"You haven't read the book, it doesn't matter if you open the book or close the book." Zhuang Ze replied flatly, the computer was already turned off, he looked down at his watch, and stood up as well.

Kang Lujie asked flatteringly, "Are you going out?"

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Kang Lujie looked back.The person who knocked on the door meant to knock, but the person had already opened the door and entered. When the other person saw Kang Lujie, he was a little surprised, and then he rubbed her hair with his big hands: "Why, you failed the exam, so you came to the back door shamelessly?"

Knowing a daughter is like a father.Kang Lujie turned her head away, looked at Zhuang Ze, then at Kang Siqi who had just arrived: "You two, are you going on a date?"

Kang Siqi: "What's the date? Work."

Kang Lujie was puzzled: "What kind of work can the two of you do together?"

Kang Siqi: "We can do a lot together."

Kang Lujie seemed to swallow a quail egg whole: "...Dad, are you bickering with me?"

Three-year-old Kang Siqi looked down at his watch, pretending not to hear the words.After watching the time, he only cast a questioning look at Zhuang Ze.The latter pushed the chair into the belly of the table, indicating that it was packed, and the two of them intended to set off.Kang Lujie's curiosity was aroused, and she waved the textbook to ask a serious answer, but Kang Siqi ignored her at all.

It was Zhuang Ze who was more gentle, and explained: "Going to Baijiang Paradise is indeed a job." After finishing speaking, he was instructed, "You study hard, and I think if you have a good attitude, you will be given a pass."

As soon as this trouble was mentioned, Kang Lujie quickly confessed and nodded obediently.

The three of them walked out of the office together and separated in the square outside the building. Kang Lujie watched the pair of people whom she personally matched walked side by side toward the parking lot, feeling relieved in her heart.Baijiang Paradise, what kind of work can there be?Concentrating on eating, drinking and having fun, she can only think of the summer activities in Baijiang Paradise starting today.

Who is going to work in Baijiang Paradise right now?Obviously it's a date.

The Baijiang Paradise in the eyes of a girl who eats, drinks and has fun is completely different from the Baijiang Paradise in the eyes of her father.

The summer vacation is approaching, and as the largest and oldest playground in C City, Baijiang Paradise will indeed launch special activities.At this time, the park is much more fun and beautiful than usual, and it usually has a romantic theme.For example, this year's theme is "A Midsummer Night's Dream", and the core is love.Obviously, it is very suitable for people who are in love.

In Kang Lujie's view, this is a good place for her father and "stepmother" to date - old men also have girlish feelings, it's not the same who falls in love.

Coincidentally, her father was a little different.

It is true that Kang Siqi went to Baijiang Paradise today for the opening of "A Midsummer Night's Dream". So I brought Zhuang Ze because one of the most important items of this cooperation intention is the big Ecuadorian roses that Zhuang Ze cultivated in Baijiang Botanical Garden.

Although Baijiang Botanical Garden is not suitable for dating, Kang Siqi has never stopped thinking about those big roses in private since he saw them.These days, it is no longer popular for young couples to send flowers. In flower shops, two roses are randomly used as roses. The enrichment of knowledge and wallets makes everyone's taste soar. Everyone thinks of "high-end", "rare" and "unique". And these are all the big roses cultivated by Zhuang Ze himself, and if they are not exchanged for money, it is against the law.

Kang Siqi wanted to use Baijiang's next themed event as the backdrop for the appearance of these roses.

In fact, rather than saying that he helped Zhuang Ze to promote it, it is better to say that he had the cheek to ask Zhuang Ze for the patent of this big rose by relying on his current relationship, especially his current status. Sell ​​the patent.

Although Zhuang Ze agreed, Kang Siqi chatted with him about the future of the flower in the car, but he was not interested, his eyes fell on the front of the car, his expression was a little absent-minded, he didn't know how much he listened to the words of the people around him.

Kang Siqi talked for a while, knowing that he didn't have much enthusiasm, so he stopped.There was a moment of silence.

"If you really don't want to sell it, let's delay this matter." After a while, Kang Siqi said, "I have already explained my reasons clearly. If you are not tempted, I don't want to force you to give me face. "

"Heartbeat." Zhuang Ze answered lightly, retracted his unfocused gaze, turned to look at Kang Siqi, with a smile on his lips, "The conditions you said are so good, it is a good thing that the cultivation results can be realized. What's more, I wrote a thesis later, and outsiders know about it, and they will come to buy it, and it will be sold one day."

Kang Siqi glanced at him quickly: "But you are not happy."

"Ah."

Kang Siqi: "Why?"

Zhuang Ze: "I was wondering if I should tell you so much about myself."

"Ok?"

Zhuang Ze: "It's been a long time since I exchanged my past with anyone, and I always feel a little embarrassed to talk about it with someone seriously." He put away his gentle smile and looked at the focused eyes of the people around him, "Kang, I have something to say to you." You said it, even if you put your heart into it. Be careful, this thing is worthless, but it’s a lot of trouble, do you want it? "

Kang Siqi raised his eyes to look in the rearview mirror, and saw him showing that expression that could not be described, the most primitive and authentic appearance, which he only thought was beautiful and serene in the past, but now he was surprised to find that there was a loneliness in it.Kang Siqi suddenly learned a new ability without a teacher: apical contraction.The petals generally curl up into a hollow thing, with Zhuang Ze wrapped inside.

This ability is commonly known as distressed.

He retracted his gaze, and clenched the steering wheel with his left hand. After a moment, he stretched out his right hand to touch the back of Zhuang Ze's hand. His five fingers slid into his fingers, clasped the back and held it, and sighed: "I haven't tried it, try it. If you do It's not good, you take it easy."

Zhuang Ze clasped his fingers with his backhand.

"It's not that I'm reluctant to sell this patent. It's better to sell it to you than to someone else. It's just a little sad. This flower was originally planted for my mother. She was very romantic when she was young, and she liked these impractical things. She often I took Tu Minglang and I to see the art exhibition. One year, the C City Art Museum held a classic art exhibition. The flowers in the painting were very big and abundant. She was very obsessed with that kind of flower, and then she read that kind of flower for many years. "

"She is beautiful. She was most afraid of aging and ugliness in her life, and she committed suicide in the end. Just after I graduated with a master's degree and decided to teach at C City University, she left a suicide note, saying calmly that she had lived enough and didn't want to grow old again." , and left. This matter..." Zhuang Ze paused, stroking Kang Si's with his fingertips, "I understand, but I don't forgive."

Kang Siqi responded in a low voice: "Yes."

Zhuang Ze: "I happened to have a good relationship with a professor of botany at the school. He took me for a year or two. I started to grow these flowers, which looked very similar to the flowers my mother was obsessed with. Therefore, it was inevitable to sell them. Heartbroken."

Kang Siqi: "What year was that? When she left."

"Ten years ago. Yes, exactly the tenth year."

Ten years ago, it was a really good year.At that time, City C’s policies were extremely friendly, Kang Shiqi’s business was booming, the whole country was thriving everywhere, and even the international community was in a peaceful atmosphere, hope seemed to sow seeds for everyone... But only, Didn't look after Zhuang Ze's mother.That day, the fairy beauty embraced the heart of twilight, and waved her hand to bid farewell to the world.

Kang Siqi sighed softly, clasped that hand tightly, and said nothing.At this moment, he has mastered another skill called mind-to-heart communication.He will be nice to him, he will be nice to his flowers, and he will be nice to that sincerity.

These suddenly became needless to say, each other was sure that the other understood.
