Mr. Ji didn't chase him back today.

Deng Yuxuan couldn't eat these days. He wanted to retch as soon as he put the dumplings in his mouth. He tried to eat five or six dumplings. He put the rest into his own bowl and covered them with plastic wrap.

The refrigerator is already full of leftovers, but it still looks a little tempting if it is kept fresh.

He also seems to have ptsd on the Internet now, and basically doesn't actively search unless necessary.

Deng Yuxuan has never been so thankful that he was promoted and didn't have to take care of his students. Otherwise, in his current state, he would probably be thrown as bad cabbage by his parents.The last day of the year seems to be very important in everyone's mind. Isn't it the failed self in the past who crosses the New Year's Eve?

But Deng Yuxuan couldn't get over it, the current state of Ji Huai's family is really heart-wrenching.

When Tang Yin came to pick up the plate, he also brought a piece of chocolate cake with a delicate and beautiful cherry on it.

"I made it myself, you have to finish it." Tang Yin threatened him with his small fist.

Deng Yuxuan looked at the plate and praised: "The progress is very fast."

After all, his birthday cake was really ugly.

Tang Yin glanced at the bruises under his eyes, and sighed invisibly, hurry up, my brother and I will come over and show you a movie in a while. "

"it is good."

Deng Yuxuan couldn't refuse his friend's care.

The cake made by Tang Yin is just right, not greasy, but it doesn't have the bitter taste of dark chocolate, and the layer of chocolate chips on the outside is ridiculously thin.

It was rare for Deng Yuxuan to have an appetite, and he ate up the palm-sized cake.

When Tang Chengan brought Tang Yin over, he also brought a bowl of fruit, full of everything from watermelons in summer to oranges in winter. "Is it delicious?" Tang Yin looked at Kong and asked.

Deng Yuxuan nodded: "It's delicious."

"It's good to eat." Tang Yin took the plate away and simply brushed it.

The movie Tang Chengan was looking for was a comedy, full of laughs from the beginning to the end, the main character always made a joke at unexpected places, which made Tang Yin laugh and laugh.

Deng Yuxuan had a smile on his face, but he didn't see it at all, and his heart was in a mess and he didn't know what it was all about.

Tang Chengan didn't show his mood clearly, but the fingers that kept tapping the phone proved his irritability.

"What's wrong?" Deng Yuxuan asked in a low voice.

Tang Chengan turned off the phone: "It's nothing, the school's shit."

Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Deng Yuxuan didn't continue to ask.

Watching a movie at lunch time, Tang Yin ordered seven or eight takeaways, and in the name of not being wasted, forced Deng Yuxuan to eat the most supportive meal since Ji Huai's accident.

Tang Yin held a chicken leg in his hand, he hesitated before speaking: "Mr. Deng, don't worry too much. No news is the best news. Since the police don't do anything, it means there is a turning point."

"Isn't it good that Ji Huai and the others are missing? Those keyboard warriors in the province continue to attack them."

"Maybe the phone is broken if you don't answer the phone? Don't think of everything as bad, okay?"

"Yes." Deng Yuxuan responded.

Seeing that he was still depressed, Tang Yin had no choice.

As soon as the two left, Yu Siyu's video call rang immediately.

As soon as Deng Yuxuan picked it up, Yu Siyu's roar came from the other side.

"Zhou Lin, come and talk to the uncle you miss so much." Then there was a rush of slippers stepping on the floor, and Zhou Lin's small face appeared.

"Uncle Deng" the immature face of the child is inexplicably healed, Deng Yuxuan smiled so cutely?Don't you have class today? "

Zhou Lin: "School is on holiday today, and New Year's Day tomorrow." Deng Yuxuan lowered his head and smiled slightly: "Oh yes, uncle has been so stupid recently, I forgot."

Zhou Lin talked about a bunch of new things about the school, and finally said the purpose of this video call.

"Uncle, come to our house for dinner tomorrow New Year's Day. My father's cooking is very delicious."

Deng Yuxuan was stunned for a moment, and the first reaction in his heart was to refuse, but looking at Zhou Lin's clean and clear eyes, he couldn't say anything.

Yu Siyu really knew him too well.

"Okay." Deng Yuxuan agreed.

Yu Siyu gave Zhou Lin a thumbs up from the back of the phone, complimenting him with his lips.

Zhou Lin blushed, and hung up the phone reluctantly.

Deng Yuxuan looked at the blacked-out phone screen and laughed, how could he have so many friends worthy of his cherishment.

Cui Yanan, Ding Xuning and Lin Yu appeared together after ten o'clock in the evening.

All three of them held plastic bags from the supermarket in their hands, with bright smiles on their faces.

"You guys are one by one." Cui Yanan shook the bag in his hand: "We're here to accompany you on New Year's Eve."

"Ah?" Deng Yuxuan, who originally thought he was going to spend the New Year's Eve alone, was dumbfounded.

Lin Yu panted heavily, let me in, Mr. Deng, I can't carry it anymore. "

Deng Yuxuan turned sideways and let the three people in.

The plastic bag was opened, and there were various snacks inside, while Lin Yu's bag contained a bag of beer.

No wonder Shen, Deng Yuxuan thought to himself.

Cui Yanan vigorously shook the canned liquor in his hand, and when he opened it, the liquor gushed out and fell down his arm.

He took a sip, "If you don't get drunk and don't go home tonight, let go of all your troubles, young people should be energetic." "Yes" Ding Xuning cheered.

Deng Yuxuan looked amused at the scene, but still obediently picked up the beer.

Ding Xuning pawed at the bag, calculated the speed of drinking, and said, put the rest in the refrigerator first. Aren't sister Tang Yin cooking for you these days, there should be room in the refrigerator. "

Deng Yuxuan's expression froze, before Lin Yu could stop him, Lin Yu opened the refrigerator.

Cui Yanan was attracted by Lin Yu's startled breath, and couldn't help sighing when he walked over, I'll go, are you going to open a cooking stall at home? "

Ding Xuning's expression gradually became serious, did you eat?You didn't even eat what Sister Tang Yin sent you? "

Deng Yuxuan rubbed his nose: "I didn't finish eating, she cooked too much in one meal."

Lin Yu is so angry that you fart, that rice has no trace of being passive." "Ji Huai hasn't been sentenced to death yet, so you should doom yourself first," Lin Yu said angrily.

Cui Yanan nodded in agreement, "Mr. Deng, you can't handle it like this. I said why you are so shy when you open the door today." Deng Yuxuan didn't expect that one day he would be scolded by three children who were as young as himself, and he felt a little embarrassed.

"I really can't eat, I'm not hungry, so I can't force it."

Cui Yanan cocked his neck: "What can't be done? From tomorrow on, I will come to watch you every day. It was Ding Xuning who stared at you at school."

Ding Xuning is now a very strict wife, and Cui Yanan agrees to everything he says.

"Okay, make sure to complete the task."

Deng Yuxuan was arranged like this.

There was no place for a refrigerator, so the beer was placed on the open-air balcony, which was barely a natural refrigerator.

After drinking for three rounds, the time slowly came to 11:30, Deng Yuxuan was dizzy, Cui Yanan and Lin Yu hugged each other and didn't know what they were talking about, Ding Xuning was the most sober, and now he was soaking in the vinegar jar, viciously Staring at the two embracing each other.

Deng Yuxuan got up and went to the bathroom. When he came out, he found that the phone screen was on, with the word Ji Huai written on it.

He really thought that he was too old and had hallucinations. He didn't answer the phone for a long time, but just stared at the screen, expecting the hallucinations to last longer.

Fortunately, Ji Huai was tireless, and continued to call after hanging up automatically, and the two connected to the signal.

Ji Huai's voice was urgent: "Xuanxuan, why did you answer the phone? Did something happen?"

"Ji Huai?" Deng Yuxuan asked cautiously with disbelief in his voice.

Ji Huai's heart softened, I'm here. "

In the next second, Deng Yuxuan asked, "Are you still alive?"

The romantic atmosphere was swept away, and Ji Huai gritted his teeth to prove that he was still alive.

"I'm alive, otherwise I can't call you."

The tension in Deng Yuxuan's heart suddenly broke, his whole body was discouraged, tears fell from the corners of his eyes uncontrollably, he couldn't speak smoothly when he was angry, and cursed with sobs, you are still alive, why don't you contact me?Do you know how much I worry about you?You might as well just die, why come out to harm people? "

Ji Huai's heart ached so much, he wished he could fly upstairs and hold Deng Yuxuan in his arms.

"I'm sorry baby, I've been too busy these days."

Deng Yuxuan wiped away tears and sneered: "Don't you even have time to send a message?"

Ji Huai explained in a panic: "Don't be angry, my communication has been under the supervision of the police during this time, I dare not move around, I'm afraid it will affect you."

"You don't give me any news that affects me the most." Deng Yuxuan took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind to ask Ji Huai, have you ever done the things that were mentioned on the Internet? "

The police surveillance that Ji Huai said really frightened him.

The phone side suddenly became quiet, except for Ji Huai's breathing.

"I haven't done it."

The simple four words relieved Deng Yuxuan, as if the sun had finally escaped the cover of dark clouds, and he showed his first real smiling face in a while.

"I believe you."

Ji Huai seemed to be crying too, and his voice was hoarse: "Give me a little more time, and I'll come to see you when I'm done."

"Ah."

The phone call continued, and the moment the clock number jumped to 12, the two spoke at the same time.

"Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Huai looked up at the room with the lighted windows, moved with difficulty, the last tear fell from his red and swollen eyes, put on a mask and left downstairs.

He has more important things to do.

There was no trace of him coming downstairs, even the cigarette butts were taken away by him.

When Deng Yuxuan heard about Ji Huai, his mood quickly improved. When he returned to the living room, Lin Yu and Cui Yanan had been separated by Ding Xuning, and now they were polarized on the sofa.

Ding Xuning held Cui Yanan tightly, wishing to kiss him to death in his arms, while Lin Yu was holding potato chips in confusion, his eyes lit up the moment he saw him.

"Teacher Deng, where have you been? It's twelve o'clock, happy new year." Ding Xuning let go of Cui Yanan, rubbed his fingers on his lips, whispered a happy new year, and then looked up at Deng Yuxuan.
