Absinthe

In the next few mornings, Hao Ai was not late, but Zhong Xiu often walked into the classroom with the ringing of the class bell. This happened several times in a row, and several times he was too late because of the traffic jam.

Before he came to Zhengchuan City, he knew that the morning and evening peak hours in this populous city would be particularly congested, but he did not expect to be able to travel from the second ring road to the urban area.

On the fourth day of being late in a row, as soon as he got to his seat, Hao Ai made fun of him: "Did you sign up for a monthly package for being late?"

Zhong Xiu was annoyed at being late because of the traffic jam. Although he knew that Hao Ai's words were not malicious, his mood was even worse.He put down his schoolbag, turned to look at Hao Ai, restrained his emotions, but his tone was still stiff: "No."

He glanced at the high pile of books on Hao Ai's desk. There were not so many books such as teaching materials and test papers for the first semester, and it was impossible to pile them up so high. He looked carefully and found several of the same books. It seems that he also confiscated the books of the people next to him and piled them up for him to sleep in class as a cover.

"The covert work is really good, don't you learn?"

"Learn." Hao Ai didn't seem to feel the sarcasm in Zhong Xiu's words at all, and smiled very seriously. He lay on the table with his chin resting on his arm, slightly raised his eyes to look at Zhong Xiu, "I'm learning secretly behind your backs. of."

Zhong Xiu looked at him condescendingly, looking at Hao Ai's face from this angle of death, he still couldn't find anything wrong with it. When he smiled, there was a dimple on one cheek, but what about the other?Maybe not.

Zhong Xiu came back to his senses, and suddenly felt that what he said just now was quite boring, so he turned around and stopped talking to him.

Zhang Zhiyuan called Zhong Xiu to the office during recess, asked him to sit on the chair next to him, and said politely, "Zhong Xiu, where is your home? Is it a little far from the school?"

Zhong Xiu pursed his lips, a little embarrassed, "Well, it's a little far away, on the North Third Ring Road."

"Ah," Zhang Zhiyuan was still very kind, "Is that so, the school stipulates that the morning reading is at [-] o'clock, and you haven't attended it for the past few days. Alas, it doesn't matter if you don't attend the morning reading. You are stuck in traffic from home to school in the morning. It will take about an hour. There are still some vacant beds in the dormitory. If you have the idea of ​​living on campus, you can live on campus. After all, it saves time. The courses will become more and more intense in the future. ..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhong Xiu already understood what he meant, "Good teacher, I'll go home and discuss with my parents about living in school."

"Hey, the teacher is just giving you a suggestion, it doesn't matter if you don't live on campus."

Zhong Xiu nodded seriously.

Zhang Zhiyuan smiled at him again: "There is nothing else to do, let's go back to the classroom."

"I want to live on campus." Back home at night, Zhong Xiu said at the dinner table.

Zheng Chuan No. [-] Middle School is located in the urban area, where every inch of land is expensive, and it has been unable to expand.The new campus is said to be under construction, but it might not be possible to move to the new campus until Zhong Xiu graduates.

Yang Yingqiong put down her chopsticks, her face was full of disapproval: "What's wrong?"

"It's a waste of time on the road," Zhong Xiu said, "I've been late several times."

"Let Lao Li pick you up half an hour earlier." Yang Yingqiong disagreed.

Lao Li is Father Zhong's driver. Father Zhong was transferred from Yangcheng and became the second in command of the municipal party committee. On foot, Lao Li will only be allowed to drive when he needs to drive there for research and inspection in the city, but the salary he pays to Lao Li is still the same as before. Feeling sorry, Lao Li took the initiative to take the task of picking up Zhong Xiu to school.

"It will still take a long time on the road, and Uncle Li has to send his daughter to school, so don't bother."

"Don't you dislike living in a dormitory?"

Zhong Xiu continued to add vegetables to the bowl, and then said something that Yang Yingqiong often said: "You can get used to it slowly."

Yang Yingqiong choked on his words, "Are you sure?"

"Sure." Zhong Xiu didn't hesitate.

"My opinion is that it's better not to live in a dormitory, but since you want to live in it, I can't control it. I can only respect your opinion." Yang Yingqiong is usually used to being strong, but she didn't expect her son, who has always been obedient, to be so tough this time, and her tone suddenly became a little bit rush.

In fact, Zhong Xiu never said that he didn't like living in a dormitory. When he first entered high school, the school counted the number of dormitory students. Very uncomfortable."

She just made the decision for Zhong Xiu lightly, without giving him a choice at all.

Yang Yingqiong is an executive of a listed company. She acts vigorously and resolutely in the company, and says what she says.The company values ​​her ability very much. The company has a branch office in Zhengchuan. She moved here with her husband, and the company appointed her to manage the branch office.

Yang Yingqiong has always had a strong desire to control, she did not allow Zhong Xiu to be out of her sight and out of her control.

Until now, Zhong Xiu has never traveled far alone.

She is always like this, in the name of being good for Zhong Xiu, imposing her will on him, and in the end she can always find a high-sounding excuse.

Yang Yingqiong softened her tone and asked, "Are you still used to other aspects?"

"Ah."

In fact, in this new school, there are many things that Zhong Xiu can't adapt to.For example, the closed corridors in the teaching building are dark and dark. Standing in the corridors outside the classroom feels like going from one prison to another. The windows in the corridors are high, which is said to prevent students from jumping off the building.It's stuffy inside, and if you want to breathe, you can only go outside or the balcony on the top floor.For another example, the restaurant and the teaching building are in two areas, separated by a road full of vehicles and pedestrians. It takes half an hour to walk there after school, and the road has to be blocked for at least 10 minutes.Zhong Xiu is a person who pays attention to efficiency. Once something goes out of plan, he will be very irritable.

When he was a child, he would complain to Yang Yingqiong when he encountered troubles, but Yang Yingqiong always told him very sternly, to overcome any difficulties, and he would get used to it after experiencing it a few times.

Gradually, Zhong Xiu stopped complaining, and had to adapt whether he could adapt or not, so that's it.

Later, Yang Yingqiong found that he was not very talkative, so she paid him a high price for speech and eloquence courses.He was angry and helpless, in order to prove that he was not ignorant of speech, he forced himself to participate in many speech and debate competitions, and achieved good rankings.

Of course he can speak eloquently, but he simply doesn't like to talk.

Adults may never understand that not being good at something and not liking it are two different things.

After eating, Zhong Xiu went back to his room. He opened WeChat to check his circle of friends. After browsing a few times, he found that Hao Ai had posted a post 10 minutes ago: "You must not have imagined how terrible my grandma's cooking is. Just now, I left the unfinished I fed the pork ribs to my dog, it bit me, and then vomited...the dog didn't want to eat the food my grandma cooked, I'm not worthy to be compared with the dog!!"

The accompanying picture is an emoticon package, weak and pitiful but edible.JPG

On the first day Zhong Xiu joined the class, many people joined him, and he agreed one by one, but he didn't pay attention to who those people were, and he couldn't match his face after knowing the names.Only when Hao Ai joined him, Zhong Xiu seriously changed the notes for him, changing from the automatically saved notes in the group to Hao Ai. When he entered his name, the first word that popped up in the input method was "Ok "Love", he saw it, and thought to himself that this name is really advantageous, and everyone who calls you by your name loves you so much.

Zhong Xiu looked at the chubby kitten in the picture, and smiled slightly, and his depressed mood improved a bit.He liked the post, and then clicked into Hao Ai's circle of friends.

The background of Hao Ai's circle of friends is a colorful skateboard graffiti, which is very cool.

This person is a chatterbox player, with an average of one post per day, and there are so many dynamics that he can't finish reading.

"If the Kung Pao Chicken in the school restaurant was less spicy, I would run 1000 meters every day after school to buy food. (It's so spicy and you sell out every time. Do you have a reinforced concrete stomach?) "It was posted on the first day of school.

"When you see this circle of friends, please urge me to make up my homework. If I haven't finished it at [-] o'clock in the evening, I will delete this circle of friends." This was posted the day before school started.

"I ate three cuties today." Pictured: People are born to be cute.JPG

"Qu Yihang, I hate you! Where do you tell me to find a gas station in the wilderness? If I lose contact, it means that I haven't found the gas station yet and my phone is dead. Please call Qu Yihang and ask him to send a personal The plane is coming to pick me up." This is...

The date of this post is 8.7, the day Zhong Xiu met Hao Ai for the first time.

Hao Ai's circle of friends didn't have permission, Zhong Xiu scrolled through a few pages without reaching the end.He laughed while watching, the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.

He decided to look through Hao Ai's circle of friends when he was in a bad mood.
