Absinthe

After eating the hot pot, the two of them put on their coats and came out of the mall, and walked around the big turntable outside to digest food.It's winter, it's still snowing outside, the turntable is empty, no one is as stupid as them.

Hao Ai asked suddenly: "Are we dating?"

Zhong Xiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Who would date here, straight man, can you be a little creative?"

Hao Ai asked suspiciously, "Where should it be?"

Zhong Xiu said uncertainly: "Movie theaters, western restaurants or something."

He doesn't know where to go on a date, but they are not in a relationship right now... Well, the relationship has not been confirmed yet, and he can study it slowly in the future.

"Okay." Hao Ai said.

Zhong Xiu felt a little strange but didn't dare to ask. He wasn't sure what Hao Ai's business meant, and he was afraid that if he asked, he would scare people away like last time.

Like two idiots, they circled the turntable several times in the cold wind. After ten o'clock in the evening, Zhong Xiu sent Hao Ai to the last bus, and then went home by himself.

"I am back."

There are people at home, both parents are at home, the study room is lit, Yang Yingqiong is sitting on the sofa watching the latest hit family ethics drama, she saw Zhong Xiu bending over to change shoes in the entrance, and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Ate."

"Why did you come back so late?"

Zhong Xiu said while thinking: "The waiting time for the meal is quite long."

Yang Yingqiong then asked: "With girls?"

"Male." Zhong Xiu was a little helpless, as long as he came home later, Yang Yingqiong would wonder if he was in a relationship.

Yang Yingqiong's face was calm: "Zhong Xiu, are you in a relationship?"

Sure enough, are you falling in love?

"No, I ate with Hao Ai."

Yang Yingqiong already decided in her heart that he was lying, thinking that he was just using Hao Ai as a cover.

"At this age, when you fall in love, most of them will have no results. You still can't bear the corresponding responsibilities, social responsibilities, family responsibilities, these are very important, and you also lack plans for the future, and you can't give each other clear Commitment, it's pretty irresponsible for both parties."

"I don't object to your falling in love, but I don't encourage it either."

Zhong Xiu is really familiar with Yang Yingqiong's preaching tone, he knows every sentence of her preaching by heart, and even recites it backwards.

"Oh," Zhong Xiu said, "Understood, I have a measure."

After he finished speaking, he went back to his room. I want to fall in love, but the other party may not be willing.

The next morning, driven by the biological clock, Zhong Xiu woke up. Looking at the watch on the wall, he found that it was only after five o'clock. He was too sure whether he and Hao Ai were in a relationship, so Zhong Xiu clicked on the picture of the ice moon, and only sent him a message: Good morning.

After posting, he lay back on the bed and slept for a while. When he woke up again to wash up, it was just seven o'clock in the morning, and the nanny in the kitchen had almost finished the meal.

After he finished washing, Zhong's father and Zhong's mother were already sitting at the dining table eating.

"I heard that you are in a relationship." Father Zhong watched him sit down and asked, "What kind of person is the other party?"

Father Zhong was very serious at work, but he didn't bring this seriousness home.

Zhong Xiu thought about falling in love, this is obviously something that has not been written yet.

"A very good person," he counted Hao Ai's advantages without blinking. "Pleasant personality, good at studying, love to work, kind-hearted and often help classmates, good-looking..."

Except that I was a little against my will when I learned this article well, the others are well-founded.

"Uh..." Father Zhong was rarely choked by his upright look, fell silent for a while, and said, "Then I think it's pretty good."

Father Zhong turned his head and said to Yang Yingqiong: "It's normal for children to fall in love nowadays, after puberty. And Zhong Xiu has a sense of proportion and knows what to do and what not to do, so don't worry about it so much."

Yang Yingqiong said dissatisfiedly: "I didn't object, why did it make me so unenlightened."

Father Zhong said: "I didn't mean that, but sometimes you really control Zhong Xiu too much."

"Okay, he's grown up and his wings are stiff, can't I just leave it alone?" Yang Yingqiong lost her temper.

Zhong Xiu still ate his meal calmly. He had already learned to selectively block Yang Yingqiong's words. Whether she preached or lost her temper, it had no effect on him.

Yang Yingqiong asked again: "By the way, does your school have to make up lessons during the winter vacation?"

"No make up."

"The learning atmosphere of this school is quite different from that of Yangcheng No. [-] Middle School," Yang Yingqiong said.

Father Zhong disagreed: "I think it's very good. Give students enough rest time. The school shouldn't occupy the holidays."

Yang Yingqiong put down her chopsticks and glared at him: "You choked on me today, didn't you?"

"Okay, okay, what am I talking to you about? The Education Bureau has already clearly stipulated that schools are prohibited from making up classes during statutory holidays."

Yang Yingqiong said unhappily: "Look, is there any high school that doesn't make up classes now? The admission rate is no longer there. Even if the school doesn't have the admission rate, the students still have to go to a good university."

It has become the norm in most schools to make up lessons during the holidays to increase the rate of enrollment. Parents are not to blame for this, but students are not happy about sacrificing their holidays.

In fact, Zheng Chuan No. [-] Middle School also forced make-up classes during the holidays for the first two years, but later some students anonymously reported to the Education Bureau, and the Education Bureau criticized all the school's superiors. At the end of last semester, the school's leadership team was changed, and the new principal Department, advocating quality education, with a wave of his hand, Zheng Chuan No. [-] Middle School will no longer use vacations to make up classes.

The Yangcheng No. [-] Middle School that Zhong Xiu was in before also made up classes during the holidays, but there was never a phenomenon of students reporting to the Education Bureau. It is probably because the school has too many perverted regulations, and the students have become numb.

When he first came to Zhengchuan No. [-] Middle School, he heard Hao Ai talk about the deeds reported by the students, and he thought it was incredible. Now he thought it was the previous school that limited his imagination.It's not that he agrees with Yangcheng No. [-] Middle School's approach, it's just that he doesn't want to be that special person because of the herd mentality.

In Zhengchuan No. [-] Middle School, students are allowed to bring mobile phones, not come to study at night, can participate in various club activities, and have different hairstyles from others; there are a row of gaudy Sifei and electric motorcycles parked in the carport, and confession is played on the radio station The songs all show that here we do not pursue consistency that eliminates individuality, but respect differences and allow differences.In Zhengchuan No. [-] Middle School, he felt the freedom and tolerance that can hardly be felt in middle school campuses.

And he also met Hao Ai here, so he added countless layers of beautification filters to this school.

Father Zhong changed the subject: "I remember that Zhong Xiu seems to be going to N University to participate in the winter camp in two days?" He suddenly remembered that Zhong Xiu had mentioned this matter before the holiday.

"Ah."

This is what Zhang Zhiyuan told him before the holiday. Many top universities hold summer and winter camps every year during the summer and winter vacations, aiming to select outstanding talents in advance, but the number of participants is limited. As the first prize winner of the National Chemistry Competition, Zhong Xio naturally got the recommended spot from the school.

"Prepare well." Father Zhong, who rarely cared about Zhong Xiu's studies, instructed.

"understood."

After eating, Zhong Xiu went back to his room to read for a while, and it was almost eleven o'clock when Hao Ai sent a message: Early morning!Do you have any plans in a few days?

It looks like he just woke up.

Zhong Xiu: Yes.

Hao Ai:? ? ?

Zhong Xiu: In two days, I will go to Nanchuan to attend the winter camp of N University.

N University is the top university in the country, so the summer camp and winter camp opportunities of this school have always been very sought-after. Students who perform well in the summer camp and winter camp will get corresponding admissions with reduced scores and early admission opportunities. Zhong Hugh's comprehensive grades are outstanding, especially in chemistry competitions, and he is very likely to get an offer from N University in advance

Hao Ai: I'll do it. Now that I think about it, you seem to have said, did you go so early?How many days are you going?

Zhong Xiu: Well, about a week.

Hao Ai: All right.Then I can only go skiing with Qu Yihang and the others [tears]

Zhong Xiu's typing hands paused, he really wanted to give up his winter camp qualifications.Very angry!My future boyfriend is going skiing with another man.
