Xinman's Collection

One day in mid-October, Xin Man got out of the warm blanket, first yawned, and then rubbed his eyes vigorously. There seemed to be a small wind blowing outside, and the branches trembled.

Pulling down the mobile phone next to the bed, he woke up early, and the alarm that had been set was still 2 minutes away from ringing.

"It's time to get up." Xin Man muttered, and firmly threw the quilt away.

The next moment, rubbing his arms excitedly by the indoor air without the air conditioner, he first turned on the phone, played the English morning reading on it, and then changed his clothes and took a shower.

Ten minutes later, he picked up his mobile phone, picked up the small note he wrote down last night, put it in his pocket, wrapped his coat tightly and went out.

When Tantai Buddha came back, there was a tempting smell of food in the room, a birthday cake box was placed on the table, Xin Man walked out of the kitchen with flour on his face.

"Teacher Tantai, happy birthday!" Xin Man held a bowl of noodles in his hand and put it on the table, then raised his head and smiled at him, "I hope Teacher Tantai will be happy in the future."

A simple sentence made Tantai Buddha's breath soften. He touched his chest, and there was a heart beating violently in his chest.

"How does Manman know..."

"I asked Luo Ran, he told me." Xin Man touched his nose in embarrassment, two coats of flour were already on it.

"Oh, yes, there are eggs." Xin Man suddenly remembered and ran back to the kitchen.

Apart from the cake, there were simply two bowls of noodles, one egg per person, on the table.

"I've been reading a lot lately, it seems like I haven't sat down with Teacher Tantai like this for a long time." Xin Man raised his face obediently, and asked Tantai Buddha to help him wipe off the flour, "After the postgraduate entrance examination..." Xin Man muttered .

"It doesn't matter." Tantai Buddha said softly, "You have to work hard for the postgraduate entrance examination, it's full."

Xin Man laughed. He was also a little anxious when the exam was approaching. He wished he could split the two paragraphs in a little time. He was afraid that he hadn't read enough books and practiced less quickly.

Even after eating, I want to go back to the desk immediately, so naturally the communication with Tantai Buddha has become much less.

However, Xin Man always remembered Teacher Tantai's birthday, since last night, he took a pen and wrote down the things he needed in a small notebook.

"Should I go on a trip after I finish my graduate studies? Just the two of us." Xin Man said, holding Tantai Buddha's hand.

"Okay, full." Tantai Buddha agreed with a natural smile.

At night, a video call came from Tantai Fo's house.

"Happy birthday baby, if you don't like birthdays, mom won't bother you. I bought you a birthday cake and presents, remember to accept..."

Tantai Buddha silently posted the photos he took at noon.

Mrs. Tantai didn't react at first, "What is this?"

Immediately afterwards, his eyes widened, "Muyu, tell mom quickly, is this longevity noodles? Who made it for you?"

Tantai Buddha didn't speak, but tapped on the table with his fingers, attracting Mrs. Tantai's attention, "There is also a birthday cake, next year... let's spend it together on my birthday."

Mrs. Tantai froze for a moment, her well-maintained hands suddenly covered her face, her shoulders shrugged.

Tan Taiyuan frowned behind him, quickly hugged his wife, stared at his second son, and rarely asked, "Is this made by the kid who lives in your place?"

"En." Tantai Buddha nodded.

Tan Taiyuan frowned even harder, "You...what's the relationship?"

"Like the relationship between you and your mother." Tantai Fo said lightly.

"What?!" Mrs. Tantai screamed, she put down her hands covering her face, tears were still rolling in her eyes, her eyes were pleasantly surprised and unbelievable, "Baby Muyu, have you finally found someone you want to grow old with?"

"You finally have someone you like?!"

"You didn't lie to mom, did you?"

Tantai Buddha: "...Mom, don't get excited."

"How can I not be excited, I am so worried about your relationship problem, I thought I gave birth to a little monk, and I shouldn't have given you this name, God, you finally have someone you like It's gone." Mrs. Tantai wept with joy.

"But he is a man." Tan Taiyuan said seriously.

"What's the matter with the man, as long as he is a person, not to mention that child is so good, Mengmeng came back and said that he likes it very much, no, I have to find some time to see the child, don't scare people." Mrs. Tantai Turning back to the camera, he suddenly said seriously, "Muyu, son, tell mom, are you sure?"

"En." Tantai Fo nodded, "You don't want to come here, he has to take the postgraduate entrance examination, I will take him back when I find time."

"Okay, you must remember." Mrs. Tantai urged.

So, without Xin Man's knowledge, on Tantai Buddha's birthday, he told his family about their relationship.

···········································

Registration for the postgraduate entrance examination in October, confirmation on the spot in November, these few months are fleeting, Xin Man has been busy, when the on-site confirmation in November, he contacted Ma Teng, and the two agreed to go together.

That's right, the school that Ma Teng is going to take the exam is also N University.

The weather was pretty good that day. A row of trees were planted on both sides of the road on the campus of N University, and the fallen leaves covered the road. Annoyed to death.

"Xin Man!" Ma Teng waved not far away.

When Xin Man walked over, Ma Teng looked at the things in his hand and asked him, "Have you got everything? Look, I wrote it down."

"It's all taken." Xin Man also remembered, and glanced at Ma Teng's paper.

"That's good, let me tell you, I've been in a mess these past few months. I'm the only one at home. If I don't know how to cook, I order takeaway. I have to read while eating, and sometimes the soup is all thrown away. It's on a tree, and I can't even clean it up..."

Probably because he finally found someone who was doing the same thing, Ma Teng talked non-stop, telling Xin Man what he had encountered in the past few months, and sighed, "I don't even know what I'm doing. With such a fragile mind, I even cried at that time, so I squatted on the ground and shed a few tears."

"It's just too much pressure." Xin Man patted Ma Teng's shoulder, "We still have to adjust ourselves."

In fact, he is also the same. After being fascinated by reading, sometimes he even forgets to make lunch. Teacher Tantai will go out to buy food or order some takeaways, and then ask him to come down.

Although there was a queue for on-site registration, the speed was actually very fast. After confirmation, Ma Teng left. Xin Man suddenly didn't want to go back like this. He squatted beside the road, watching the people coming and going around, feeling that he hadn't been out for a long time.

He took out his mobile phone and checked the time. Tantai Buddha was not off work at this point.

"Why don't you go to T University... No, no, let's go back and read." Xin Man stood up and then paused, his face full of confusion.

He hasn't been with Teacher Tantai quietly for a long time, but now, Teacher Tantai may be in class, Xin Man sent a message.

[Mr. Tantai, I've confirmed, what are you doing now? 】

The message came back after a while, [class, full. 】

[Okay, you are busy, I will go back first. 】

Xin Man sighed a little disappointed, "Let's go back and read."

It was getting late and early, and when Tantai Buddha came back, the house was dark. He turned on the light in the living room and looked towards the second floor. Xin Man was probably still reading.

Putting the dessert on the coffee table, Tantai Buddha walked upstairs slowly, there was light in Xinman's room, and the door was half closed.

"Manman, do you want to rest?" Tantai Buddha pushed open the door and knocked lightly.

Scared by the sudden voice, Xin Man raised his head and rubbed his swollen brows, "Sorry, Teacher Tantai, I'm late for reading."

Tantai Buddha walked to Xin Man's side, leaned his head gently on his body, and rubbed his fingers, "Do you want to come to me today?"

"Well, it feels like I haven't had a good time with you for a long time." Xin Man felt sorry.

"Then eat dessert with me." Tantai Buddha said softly, stroking Xin Man's head.

"You bought it?" Xin Man looked up in surprise.

"Of course." Tantai Buddha pinched Xin Man's face, "Wouldn't you be very happy if you eat dessert?"

"No, it's to have fun with Teacher Tantai." Xin Man hugged Tantai Buddha's waist, looked up obediently.

Tantai Buddha bowed his head and kissed his lips, once or twice...do not want to stop, it seems that the enthusiasm accumulated in the past few days is poured into this moment.

"Hmm...Teacher Tantai, no, aren't you going to eat dessert?" Xin Man took the time to say, panting.

"Let's eat first, okay..." Tantai Fo whispered in Xin Man's ear, and couldn't help biting his earlobe.

"Well……"

Lie smashing, are you trying to lure me with desserts!

Xin Man lay on the bed biting the pillowcase, his legs hurt...

"Don't you want to sleep any longer?" Tantai Buddha hugged him in his arms and kissed him on the shoulder, "It's so early to wake up."

"I'm used to getting up early." Xin Man pursed his lips, turned over and lay on his back, "Where's the dessert? I haven't even seen it."

"It's downstairs, can you go down and eat later?"

Xin Man nodded, thought for a while and then discussed in a low voice, "Well... don't buy a single dessert until the end of the postgraduate entrance examination, okay?"

"Okay." Tantai Buddha laughed, and hugged him again and again, "Manman, why are you so cute, can you kiss me again?"

"Not good! Reject!" Xin Man thumped to leave, but was pulled into his arms again.

·································

"Full, don't be nervous about the exam, come on."

"Xin Man, take the exam well, come on."

A few days before the exam, family members and friends sent messages of cheering one after another. Xin Man replied one by one, let out a sigh of relief, and packed up his things.

From December 23rd to 25th, three days and four exams.

Politics in the morning on the first day, English in the afternoon, professional exams on the second day, and seven hours of quick questions on the third day.

It would be a lie to say that I am not nervous, but it is the second exam after all, I have prepared well, and the time and place are well grasped. Xin Man stood outside the gate of N University with many other people who were also nervously waiting, waiting for the first exam. start.
