taste of honey

The voice is as steady as ever, without any extra emotion.Jiang Yi's skin is thick, without any embarrassment at all, she turned from sideways to prone, and said calmly: "I didn't look at you, I was looking at the wall."

Tell lies smoothly, without blushing or heartbeat.

Duan Qingxu put down the phone and looked over it with unclear meaning.The inquiry in those eyes made Jiang Yi's heart skip a beat suddenly, she shuddered inexplicably, and looked away uncomfortably.

Turn off the lights and sleep.

The next day was cloudy and rainy, and the dense mist shrouded the sky, making the distance look gray. At about nine o’clock, Jiang Yi got up from the bed, washed and had breakfast, went back to the dormitory to get ready, and was ready to meet the new foreign teacher in the afternoon. .

In the new semester and new system, in order to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for learning, the college has specially issued a rule of one plus ten. In short, one foreign teacher is in charge of ten students and forms a small team to promote learning.

Jiang Yi's foreign teacher is a blond and blue-eyed British man who speaks Chinese well. He came to China to settle down in 08. He also gave himself a literary Chinese name, Zhao Zhi. Zhao is the first surname in a hundred families, and Zhi is Well-known meaning.Teacher Zhao Zhi was very rigorous and told them the semester plan for the whole afternoon. Jiang Yi knew that this semester might not be too easy.

The squad leader and the handsome male student from yesterday were also there. The male student's surname was Zhang Mingyi, and he was very popular with the little girls.

Teacher Zhao Zhi invited everyone to dinner later.Everyone was a little excited, eating and chatting, and soon got to know each other. Teacher Zhao Zhi at the dinner table was very easy-going, and talked with everyone about when he first came to China.

While everyone was chatting, Jiang Yi secretly looked at her mobile phone and sent a message in the youth association group of the school. In the future, the president of the school youth association and the head of the activity department will connect with them, that is, Duan Qingxu and Qin Yu.Jiang Yi was a little surprised. After all, their association was the last one in the school's annual evaluation, how could it be these two important figures who came to meet, but then she was relieved, maybe the school wanted to use this to urge the English Youth Association.

After eight o'clock, the show ends after dinner.

It was raining lightly outside, and it didn't stop for a whole day, puddles of water accumulated on the ground.Zhang Yi didn't take it with him, and expressed in a roundabout way that he wanted Jiang Yi to take him for a ride.

Jiang Yi struggled with how to refuse, and was hesitating when she saw a familiar figure two or three meters away.

Duan Qingxu was standing and chatting with a group of people, and he should have just come out after the dinner party.

She hurriedly said: "My roommate is over there, she didn't bring an umbrella, I'll go there first!"

Zhang Yi didn't say anything.

This sentence caught the attention of a group of people over there, especially Qin Yu, who elbowed Duan Qingxu and whispered, "Well, isn't that your roommate?"

Duan Qingxu Zhiyan who was talking, saw that it was really Jiang Yi.

It just so happened that this group of people was also planning to leave.Qin Yu opened the umbrella and said, "Then I won't see you off, I'll go first."

After saying that, he took the boys from the same dormitory building away, and the others walked in twos and threes.

Jiang Yi came over, opened the umbrella directly, and said, "Shall we go now, together?"

She pursed her lips, walked under the umbrella, and saw the crowd that hadn't finished dispersing over there, and asked for the first time, "Dinner with classmates?"

"The foreign teacher invites you to dinner." Jiang Yi said truthfully, "It happened to be a rainy day, and you also ate here? I haven't seen it, the private room where you sat?"

Duan Qingxu nodded.

The umbrella is relatively small, and it is difficult to completely cover two people, so Jiang Yi has to get closer to this person, with her arms touching her arms.The rain was blowing on her body with the strong wind, she was all focused on opening the umbrella, and didn't pay much attention to Duan Qingxu.

Maybe it was because he didn't want to have too much contact, Duan Qingxu always kept a little distance away intentionally or unintentionally, but Jiang Yi wanted to follow, so he had to give up in the end.When they walked downstairs in the dormitory, both of them were more or less drenched. Jiang Yi's fair arms were covered with water, and she wiped the water while closing the umbrella.

Duan Qingxu took the initiative to take the umbrella.

There were quite a lot of people waiting for the elevator, and the two stood at the front and were squeezed into the innermost place after entering.When ascending to the third floor, someone in the middle wanted to go out, and everyone gave way one after another. Jiang Yi was pushed unsuspectingly, and fell forward. In desperation, she pulled down carelessly, and ended up holding Duan Qingxu's body. arm.

I don't know if it was because of the rain, but the other party's hands were slightly cold.

Probably because he was not used to being touched, Duan Qingxu looked cold, but he did not push her away, but whispered: "Stand firm."

Jiang Yi stood still again and again, with embarrassment on her face.

Back in the dormitory, everything was as usual, and the two of them went about their own business.

Duan Qingxu's indifference didn't affect Jiang Yi in any way. At this moment, Jiang Yi treated her like an ordinary roommate and didn't think there was anything wrong.Everyone's temperament is different, just get along with each other peacefully.

Of course, in her ordinary and boring life at this moment, it is precisely because of her cold temperament that Duan Qingxu can be distinguished from others.Under the long-term study and life, Jiang Yi still has a half-knowledge about some things. Now she only thinks that this person is okay and good-looking, and there are no more.

Desire has always been buried deep in the ground, and it will grow wildly until it encounters water and light. From an inconspicuous seed, it grows into a towering tree with intertwined roots.

Unlike Duan Qingxu's tossing and turning, Jiang Yi slept very peacefully that night.

The next few days were cloudy, the temperature dropped sharply, and the cool autumn came quietly.Jiang Yi no longer dared to wear a singlet and shorts, but obediently wore half-sleeved skirts or trousers.

After September 9st, Duan Qingxu returned to the dormitory almost very late, and the Youth Association was busy at both ends, so he didn't have much free time.

When I was in high school, the teacher always said that it would be easy after college. In fact, college is not easy, there are many things and pressure, but the time is relatively free.

The remaining orange next to the mug disappeared at some point. Jiang Yi thought it would be left to rot, but it disappeared without paying attention.There was nothing special about the first week of school, it was just like that anyway, Chen Yuqiu brought Jiang Ning here once during the period, the father and son went to a high-end restaurant for dinner, Zheng Yun was busy with work, so he couldn't get away for the time being, but occasionally at night he would give Jiang Yi called.

Although married into a wealthy family, Zheng Yun didn't let the siblings live a pampered life, just like they were before.Education has always been the top concern of qualified parents. Zheng Yun's biggest expectation for the siblings is to be independent and self-improving. Simple, but not easy.

On the weekend, the temperature picked up, Jiang Yi planned to go back to Jinming Mansion for two days.

She didn't call Zheng Yun in advance, but bought some food, and planned to go back by car, it wasn't very far anyway.

As a result, as soon as he left school, he met someone he knew.

Uncle Qi, the housekeeper of the Duan family, greeted her cheerfully, and when he learned that she was going to take the bus, he quickly called her to stop and let them go together.

Uncle Qi was originally a capable officer under Grandpa Duan, but later he retired and couldn't take any time off, so he went to Duan's family to be the housekeeper, taking care of Duan Qingxu's daily life for more than ten years.He was kind, kind and approachable, pulled Jiang Yi and said, "Qing Xu is coming down soon, we will be together later."

When it came to this point, Jiang Yi couldn't refuse, so she waited with her.

The black Maybach is particularly conspicuous. At this time, students come and go at the school gate, attracting many probing eyes.About 5 minutes later, Duan Qingxu walked out of the door. Uncle Qi called her with a smile. This person was still lukewarm, and he didn't call out properly until he got close: "Uncle Qi."

She glanced at Jiang Yi who was standing next to Uncle Qi, and Jiang Yi also smiled.

"Okay, let's go." Uncle Qi said, putting the two people's things in the trunk, "Dong Cheng just got home last night, he is not busy recently, you two have a good get together these two days."

Duan Dongcheng and Duan Qingxu's father were also raised by Uncle Qi.Duan's family has a big business, Duan Dongcheng is often away from home, and spends most of the year running around outside. This year, he was so busy that he couldn't even attend his friend's wedding. Jiang Yi hasn't seen him yet.

Duan Qing hummed, as if he didn't want to say more.Uncle Qi is a smart person and knows what to talk about. He asked her about her recent situation at school, and when he learned that she and Jiang Yi were roommates, he narrowed his eyes and sighed: "Oh, that's just right. We have mutual care. Many talents are not deserted."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Jiang Yi and asked, "Are you still used to the new campus? The environment here is not as elegant as the old campus, and it is more noisy."

Jiang Yi nodded, and replied: "It's not bad, it's pretty good, and the conditions are more complete than the old campus."

Along the way, Uncle Qi was chatting with her, and would ask Duan Qingxu a few words from time to time, but Bingtuozi couldn't speak a word, and he hardly spoke during the whole process.

After getting out of the car, Uncle Qi kindly said: "Come here if you have time, Qing Xu and I are both at home."

Duan Qingxu pursed his lips and remained silent.Jiang Yi responded repeatedly, and before she had time to say a word of thanks, her younger brother Jiang Ning came out to pick her up, so she had no choice but to thank her quickly and said, "It must be, then I'll go back first."

Uncle Qi smiled kindly, and when she was far away, he said to Duan Qingxu: "This girl has a good temper and is easy to get along with."

Duan Qingxu didn't return, seeing that he was going to get the suitcase, he said: "I'll do it."

……

The days at home are naturally much more comfortable than at school. Chen Yuqiu loves Wu and Wu, so he is especially accommodating to Jiang Yi.

As for Jiang Ning, he is now in the critical period of his third year of high school. He studies very hard every day besides studying. Chen Yuqiu suggested that he study abroad, but he is unwilling and insists on staying in China to study.

In private, he secretly said to Jiang Yi: "I'm afraid to leave, what if he treats you badly."

Jiang Yi was funny, but warm in her heart, she patted the kid on the head, "You think a lot when you're young, so read your book well."

Zheng Yun baked biscuits, and his family couldn't finish them, so he asked Jiang Yi to send some to Duan's next door.At that time, Jiang Yi had just changed into her pajamas, and she didn't want to go, but in the end she reluctantly went out with her things.

In stark contrast to the hustle and bustle here, the Duan family is very deserted, even though there are many people inside.Uncle Qi opened the door and led her in to sit.

The decoration of Duan's house is all in cool tones, and all of them reveal a calm atmosphere.Uncle Qi came over with a drink and asked, "Qing Xu is upstairs in the study, do you want to go up and have a look?"

Jiang Yi subconsciously wanted to refuse, but she felt awkward just sitting there, so after thinking about it, she agreed instead.

She thought Uncle Qi would lead the way, but the other party only asked others to lead her to the door of the study.

The second floor was quieter than the first floor, and she couldn't even see a single person. She stood at the door of the study and didn't want to enter, or if she didn't enter.There was no movement inside, and a voice came after a while: "Come in—"

She froze for a moment, turned the doorknob, pushed the door open and entered.

The study room is spacious, with soft lighting. At a glance, there are rows of neatly arranged books. There is a carved solid wood table on the left. Jiang Yi can't tell what kind of wood it is, but only knows that it is very valuable at first glance.Duan Qingxu sat behind the wooden table, the things in front of him looked like documents.

Jiang Yi thought she was reading here, but it turned out she was not.

Duan Qingxu was so serious in his work that he didn't even raise his head, let alone realize that it was her who came in.

Now Jiang Yi was even more entangled, and stood still, but someone seemed to be unaware of it, and never looked up.She was a little helpless, and after standing for a while, she found that there was an old book with an orange cover on the far end of the bookshelf next to her left hand.

"Sappho's Lyric Poems", a book published by Baihua Literature and Art Publishing House, seems to be quite old.Jiang Yi felt that the name sounded familiar, but for a while she couldn't remember where she had seen it before, so she pulled out the book out of nowhere.

As soon as I got it, my wrist was suddenly grabbed, and my warm body was blocked behind my back.

In an instant, her heart tightened.

The fingers were slender and pinched her tightly.
