dogma

Half an hour before receiving Shen Chunlan's message, Rao Xinghai was wandering in front of various counters in the mall.

The shopping mall is crowded with people, all of them are people who come to buy new year's goods, dragging their families with them, it is very lively.

Rao Xinghai looked here and there by himself, and finally stood in front of the pen counter.

He had seen a pen on Shen Chunlan's desk, and Shen Chunlan should be used to using it.

Rao Xinghai chose for a long time, and finally chose a pure white parka, just in time to use up the 500 yuan he got from Bo Wan.The salesperson asked him if he needed gift wrapping, and Rao Xinghai nodded immediately.

Salesperson: "For packaging, an extra 50 yuan will be charged."

Rao Xinghai: "Okay."

He didn't feel distressed at all, and of course he wouldn't be willing to spend the 550 yuan on himself.

While waiting for the packaging, customers came to try the pen one after another.Someone selected one and asked if it could be returned if it was not used properly.

When Rao Xinghai heard these words, Shen Chunlan just sent a message.

He felt a little uneasy: What if Shen Chunlan doesn't like it?What if Shen Chunlan is used to using her own pen, or if Shen Chunlan doesn't want to accept gifts from students at all?

Rao Xinghai knew in his heart that he did not give this gift with the respect of the students to the teacher - of course there is respect, but that is not all, and there are other stronger emotions entwined on this white pen.

【Do you want to? 】he asks.

But Shen Chunlan hesitated for a long time.

It may be impolite to ask for a gift unsolicited.Perhaps Shen Chunlan was too shy.Perhaps Shen Chunlan felt that it was strange for a stranger to give him a gift... Rao Xinghai stared at the phone, thinking of 1 excuses for Shen Chunlan in an instant.

Shen Chunlan finally replied: [Thank you, you just wish me success in my work. 】

Rao Xinghai's shoulders slumped.

The salesperson was carrying a small paper bag: "Hello, this is a packed gift box."

He walked out of the mall slowly, and soon found a reason for himself to be happy: this was because Shen Chunlan didn't know who he was, and when school started, he would present this gift to Shen Chunlan face to face.Maybe he would actually accept it.

His steps became inexplicably brisk again.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Shen Chunlan thought of Rao Xinghai after eating the New Year's Eve dinner.

He was alone in the kitchen washing dishes and tidying things up, thinking a little about himself as a student.

Cao Hui mentioned to him that Rao Xinghai had to move out of the orphanage when he became an adult at the age of 18.He chose to stay in school because he wanted to save a sum of money for renting a house and not going back to Guizhou, probably because of the inappropriate travel expenses and itinerary.

Shen Chunlan watched the Spring Festival Gala for a while, and asked the guinea pig to come out to perform for Shen Han.

The whole family couldn't see the guinea pig, but they could see two hazelnuts dancing in the air.

Shen Han was already used to this kind of weird scene, he giggled and danced along with his buttocks.

She likes this little thing she can't see very much. Last year, Shen Chunhong's family went to Sun Rui's house to celebrate the New Year. Shen Han woke up in the middle of the night. Because he missed the guinea pig too much, he woke up his parents and called Shen Chunlan to cry.

"Can I touch it?" Shen Han asked.

Her little hands hovered over the hazelnuts to caress them.Shen Chunlan saw that the palm was still a few centimeters away from the guinea pig's small head. The guinea pig desperately raised its head to touch Shen Han's palm, but its legs were short.

"I seem to have touched it!" The little girl looked surprised, "It's such a magical feeling..."

Shen Chunlan: "..."

as long as you are happy.He rubbed Shen Han's little face and kissed him, grabbed his phone and walked to the balcony.

This year's Spring Festival is very warm, so warm that people are worried, as if some weird things will happen in the world that will subvert the seasons.Fireworks and firecrackers are banned in the city, Shen Chunlan can only see lights everywhere, framed in bright windows.

Some stubborn people set off fireworks in the corners of the city.Beam after beam of flames shot up into the sky, exploded, burned, and dissipated.

Shen Chunlan called Rao Xinghai.

To his surprise, Rao Xinghai's voice was noisy and lively.

"Happy New Year." He greeted Rao Xinghai with a smile, "Where did you go?"

"Happy New Year." Rao Xinghai replied somewhat cautiously, "I'm in the cafeteria."

There are about [-] students staying at New Hope Academy for the Chinese New Year, and they are distributed in various dormitory buildings.The canteen, which had been closed for a period of time, opened its doors on the evening of the New Year's Eve, and the students who stayed in school and the dormitory teachers who didn't go home made dumplings together to watch the party.

The reason why the cafeteria is lively is because there are a lot of spirits besides people.Rao Xinghai's golden python rolled over on the ground, and the two kittens rubbed it with their front paws, like a toy.

Deng Hong and Wang Cancan lived in the teacher's dormitory, and they also came to join in the fun this evening.A lion and a Shiba Inu are snuggling together, and both four-legged beasts are staring at a lamb in front of them.When the sheep bleats, the Shiba Inu smiles, and then gets slapped on the head by the lion.

The uncle stationed in the kitchen is an ordinary person who cannot see the spirit body, but he has been used to this strange phenomenon after working in New Hope for many years.The cooked dumplings are placed in large basins and floated forward, moving from the kitchen to the cafeteria.

"Who's helping me?" he asked.

Two girls raised their hands: "My orangutan." "And my monkey."

The tall orangutan walked like a man, holding the edge of the big basin with both hands.The monkey raised his hands up at the bottom of the basin, which didn't really help, but he was obviously very happy.

At some point, a kitten with white fur jumped onto the light tube on the ceiling.Cautiously, it approached a pigeon standing on the edge of the lamp.

The owner of the pigeon is a senior from the Department of Education and Science, and Rao Xinghai recognizes it.

The senior sister looked up and watched the kitten approaching her spiritual body with interest, then turned her head and said to the kitten's owner, "Your cat's balls are very delicate."

The little boy behind her blushed, "Huh?"

Shen Chunlan was quite surprised: "So lively?"

He knew that every New Year's Eve, New Hope Academy would arrange a program for the teachers and students who stayed at the school, but he had never participated in it, nor had he asked carefully.

Rao Xinghai relayed the live broadcast to him: "...and if we don't want to watch the party later, there will be a movie, the fourth part of "The Last Zombie"."

Shen Chunlan: "Not bad, not bad."

Rao Xinghai: "Teacher, what did you eat tonight?"

Shen Chunlan actually answered his boring question, and finally asked him: "What about you?"

The dialogue was actually not interesting, but Shen Chunlan found it very interesting.Rao Xinghai probably doesn't like carrots. When he mentioned the stewed beef brisket with carrots for dinner, his tone was very unpleasant.

In the living room, Shen Han, who couldn't find the guinea pig, began to call his uncle.

Shen Chunlan had to bid farewell to Rao Xinghai in a hurry: "Be careful and have a good New Year."

The guinea pig was actually on the table, sitting on top of a pile of hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, and pistachios, watching TV intently.The TV is colorful, and children dress up as animals in the zoo, singing and dancing, and there is a big golden snake among them.

The guinea pig excitedly pointed at the TV and jumped up and down on the pile of nuts.

Shen Chunlan: "Okay, I see."

The guinea pig was more honest than him.

He tied a hat with candy wrappers and string and put it on the guinea pig's head, so that even if the guinea pig doesn't play with hazelnuts, Shen Han can still find it.Shen Han's eyes were full of love, he moved to the top of the guinea pig's hat, pursed his lips and kissed it.

Sun Rui: "...we have a few hamsters at home, and she also likes to kiss like this."

Little Curly covered his face, shy and excited: "It kissed me!"

Shen Chunlan: "It was you who kissed it..."

He suddenly remembered the little trick Rao Xinghai made behind his back when he went to his dormitory for the first time.

His students thought that the kiss on the guinea pig's tiny ear went unnoticed by the teacher.But the guinea pig wanted to restore the kiss with Shen Chunlan like crazy afterwards, and when Shen Chunlan realized it, her heart beat violently.

He sighed softly while eating the cherries.

There is no constant rule in the world about who will be attracted to at what time.For Shen Chunlan, Rao Xinghai's directness and simplicity are like a glass of clean water.He was so direct that it was almost rude, and he was so innocent that it made people helpless, sometimes reminding Shen Chunlan of himself several years ago.

Eighteen or nine-year-old young people hovering on the edge of maturity and childishness.It seems that there are thousands of possibilities in life, and life will have countless wonderful faces.

But Shen Chunlan is not anymore.He is afraid of trial and error, and also afraid of making mistakes.

He dreams of me.Shen Chunlan finally convinced himself that the actual meaning of this sentence is: he loves me.

Like honoring a god but resisting the desire that comes with it.

It's just that he still doesn't dare to analyze his thoughts in detail, there must be something terrible in it, and he doesn't dare to delve into it.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Chunlan reluctantly followed Shen Chunhong out.

Before going out, Shen Chunhong persuaded him earnestly: "Do you know what is the average life expectancy of sentries and guides without a partner?"

"47 years old." Shen Chunlan replied quickly, "But this is already the data of the 2000 census, and it should have been updated long ago. Now that there are so many ways to refresh your mind, you don't have to worry about my 'sea' collapsing."

Shen Chunhong was dubious, and finally emphasized: "Then you should at least fall in love."

Shen Chunlan didn't tell her family about her relationship when she was in graduate school.When he dated his ex-boyfriend, he had made it clear that they would break up after graduation. They were just accompanying and supporting each other during their graduate studies.

The separation was not without pain, but Shen Chunlan did not indulge for too long.The former degree was a sentinel, one class higher than himself, and the relationship between the two lasted only one year. It was good when it was good, and it was peaceful enough when they parted.Shen Chunlan even remembered that they had dinner peacefully and happily in the rented room on the night before Du left Beijing, did not have sex, watched the game all night, then chatted about the details of this year, and agreed to meet again in the future.

Shen Chunlan knew that of course they would never see each other again.He stayed in Beijing and went abroad to work.The two only kept each other's contact information, but never took the initiative to say hello.

Only Cao Hui knew about this matter from beginning to end.Cao Hui defined the relationship between the two of them as: friends with good relationship.

"Of course, friends with sex don't necessarily have no feelings." Cao Hui emphasized again, "After all, it's the most intimate physical contact, right?"

Shen Chunlan wanted to hit him.

He is very serious about falling in love, step by step, date and talk, keep their own independent space, respect and understand each other.It was a very correct and smooth relationship, and he is still grateful to this day.

When walking into the private restaurant, Shen Chunhong pulled Shen Chunlan to look up and down.His younger brother obviously didn't prepare seriously, but fortunately he was clean-shaven, his hair was smooth and tidy, and his clothes were clean and flawless. The only problem was that he didn't look very interested.

"Come on, okay?" Shen Chunhong said, "The sentry saw your photo and immediately agreed to meet you. He likes you very much."

Shen Chunlan: "...photo??? What photo? Shen Chunhong, don't give my photo to others."

Shen Chunhong: "That family photo in my office! A colleague came to chat with me, and when he mentioned this matter, he took a photo of the family photo and sent it to his brother."

Only then did Shen Chunlan suppress his anger: "I still don't know what that person looks like."

Shen Chunhong: "Isn't it time to meet?"

He pushed open the door of the restaurant, and walked in with Shen Chunlan.

Shen Chunlan felt something was wrong as soon as he entered the door.

There is a spiritual body in the room, and it is a spiritual body he is familiar with.

There was only one table in the restaurant, two well-dressed men.A honey badger about one meter in length was lying on the edge of the window, yawning lazily.

"Chunhong, hello." Both men stood up with enthusiastic smiles.

Shen Chunlan was stunned.

He had been with this honey badger and its owner, Ao Jun, for a year.

Ao Jun smiled at him, and explained to Shen Chunhong: "Chunlan and I are alumni of graduate school, and we have a very good relationship."

Both brothers laughed, clearly delighted at this unexpected arrangement.

Shen Chunlan was actually relieved.At least he knows that this blind date does not need to be faced with the mentality of a blind date.

He and Ao Jun can simply chat like friends reunited after a long absence.

"This is a meeting based on the premise of forming a partnership, right?" Ao Jun's brother asked.

Shen Chunlan was stunned, and he immediately looked at Shen Chunhong.As a result, Shen Chunhong was also confused: "Wait, didn't we agree to meet first?"

To outsiders, he returned to the serious and reticent Shen Chunhong.

"Whether to enter into a partnership depends on how Chunlan and your brother get along. It's not convenient for us to give advice." He smiled, "Get to know it first, don't worry."

Shen Chunlan felt something was wrong.

Ao Jun spoke at this moment.

"Chun Lan and I already know each other very well." He said, "We used to be together when we were graduate students at Beijing Normal University."

Shen Chunhong was shocked, but he didn't look at Shen Chunlan.Shen Chunlan knew that his elder brother was not very happy now.

"Hmm..." Shen Chunhong nodded, "I've never heard Chunlan say that."

Shen Chunlan stared at the honey badger beside him.Honey Badger seemed to recognize him, opened his eyes, and stared at him.

Shen Chunlan's spokesman, Shen Chunhong, was still talking.

"Why are you in such a hurry to enter into a partnership?" He quickly grasped the point of this blind date, "Is there any special reason?"

The author has something to say: the honey badger is an animal that likes to eat poisonous snakes very much.
