die like the dodo

After seeing off Yu Wanqiu, Pei Zian returned to the ceramics group to continue working. He sat in front of the workbench, and every bit about Lu Boyuan immediately came to mind, disturbing his mind.

Pei Zian seemed to have returned to the time when he first entered the Provincial Expo and sat on the bench. When he closed his eyes, his mind was full of Lu Boyuan. He smiled so close to others, but was so far away from him.

The old man told him that a man cultivates his body, and a body cultivates his mind.But after five years of tinkering, he still hasn't made any progress.Pei Zian was so angry that he lost the job at hand, and it was rare for him to leave early.

As soon as he left, several colleagues in the ceramics group also stopped what they were doing and gathered around Xiaoyue to gossip. Unfortunately, Xiaoyue didn't know much about the inside story, so he could only draw conclusions based on Pei Zian's expression. It is estimated that Teacher Pei's appointment in the afternoon is not so wonderful.It's just that I don't know what kind of girl it is that makes Teacher Pei, who loves and works hard, leave early.

Of course Pei Zian's early departure had nothing to do with the girl, he went to meet an acquaintance.

The bicycle turned a few turns from the small courtyard of the ceramic group and came to the family courtyard.There are several earthenware pots built beside the red brick wall, in which tomatoes, chicken feathers and a handful of green onions are planted.

Pei Zian stopped his bicycle, picked up a stack of brand new terracotta pots from the basket and piled them on the ground.

"Xiao Pei is here!" The old gentleman who was sitting on the small bench and digging up the vegetables turned around and poked his head from behind the sun hat.

Pei Zian helped the old man change the vegetables into new pots, and the old man smiled happily as he touched the terracotta pot he brought: "I just like the pottery pots you made, pottery pots made by talented students majoring in ceramic design. They are all very useful!"

It is said that the older the old man is, the more he looks like a child, and the old man becomes more childish. Hearing the old man's sarcasm, Pei Zian could only smile helplessly.

However, the old man is just unforgiving in his mouth, and he is still soft-hearted towards others. He knew this when he first entered the provincial doctorate.Pei Zian had something on his mind, how could someone who lived a very transparent life not see it.

Pei Zian hesitated to speak several times, but he couldn't get out of his mouth. If the master knew that he hadn't figured it out for five years, he wouldn't know what to say about him.

"Little Pei, try to see if this tomato is sweet." The old man picked a tomato from the pot and handed it to Pei Zian.Pei Zian took it and took a bite, the fresh juice moistened his tongue and seemed to calm his mind.

He heard the old man say again slowly: "Some questions, if you start to waver, you already have the answer in your heart."

After the old gentleman finished speaking, he continued to pack his precious dish bowls.Leaving Pei Zian alone, he froze there for a long time before he dawdled and ate the whole tomato.In fact, he didn't understand what the old man said, but it was not easy to take that step.Pei Zian is like an astronaut who has cut off the connection, clinging to the coordinates of the past. Others can't go back to the past, and he can't enter the future...

Pei Zian had another dinner with the old man, and it was only seven or eight o'clock when he got home.

At the dinner table just now, the old gentleman asked him if he had Weibo, and he was very interested in adding him as a friend.Pei Zian did have one, but he didn't use it very much. The name looked like a zombie account, and he occasionally sent some hurtful words. He was too embarrassed to show the old man, so he had no choice but to shirk and say no.He was disgusted by the old man again, and he also found several well-known cultural relic bloggers on Weibo to let him study hard.

Pointing to a few photos on the screen, the old gentleman boasted to him: "How well they took pictures. Thousands of peaks and blue waves are green, and this is what Ru Kiln wants!" Pei Zian took a look, and the picture was Their frugal sunflower wash with azure-glazed Song Ru kiln is indeed well photographed, with the warm and moist glaze color and the tiny openings on the surface of the vessel clearly captured.This blogger also added his own watermark on the black background, typesetting it into a small chapter style, quite ingenious, Pei Zian took a special look, it seems to be called "the heart is not the clothes".

After retiring, the old man couldn’t stay idle. He was rejected for his re-employment before. Now he was a little itchy to see others taking pictures of cultural relics. He asked Pei Zi’an Xiao if he knew what equipment to use for taking pictures, and he also got one for fun.Pei Zian didn't play photography, so how could he know this, and was about to tell the truth, when he suddenly thought that Lu Boyuan helped Jiang Yan collect materials during the day, he should know this very well.The lips parted and closed, and finally complied.

When Pei Zian returned home, he took out his mobile phone and began to regret again. Did he really want to ask Lu Boyuan?Lu Boyuan's WeChat profile picture is the sugar chestnut that he took when he came to the Provincial Expo to shoot a documentary. Pei Zian stared at the profile picture of the big yellow cat with white eyebrows stretching its paws lazily for a while, but didn't think about how to speak.

At this time, the phone rang, but Jiang Yan looked for him on WeChat: "Mr. Pei, good evening, did I bother you?"

Pei Zian was upset, so he said perfunctorily, "Is there something wrong?"

"I heard from my brother that you used to study ceramic design, teacher. I want to make pottery myself as a gift. I wonder if the teacher has any suggestions?" A chubby yellow cat with white eyebrows is holding a piece of dried fish and waving its paws. On the dried fish is written "Thank you very much".

When Pei Zian saw this picture, he immediately felt angry, what does Jiang Yan mean, to give Lu Boyuan a gift, and to ask him, do you want to swear an oath of sovereignty?Then he doesn't have to.Even the cat he raised was used by Lu Boyuan as material to please Jiang Yan. How could his old love compare to his new love.

"I haven't touched these things for many years, didn't Lu Boyuan tell you?"

Pei Zian's temper was not good enough for him to maintain his demeanor at such a moment, so he closed WeChat after replying this sentence.

What happened today kept flashing in his mind, and the dodo once again used its stupidity to prove that extinction was a natural result.Pei Zian wanted to bury himself again...

At this time, the screen of the mobile phone that was left aside lit up again, and the avatar of the white-browed yellow cat sent a message: "Are you free tomorrow?"

Just one sentence completely collapsed all the psychological construction of that stupid dodo, and threw himself into the trap again: "I'm free."
