the landlord is a former

"I like you."

In the twelfth lunar month, the cold wind was as sharp as an ice knife, scraping across the tender cheeks, and the voice was out of tune, making it a bit choked.Shi Jinzhi quietly stared at the person in front of him, his eyes fluttered with infinite tenderness, but he didn't notice it.

The hair of the two people was entangled together by the wind, black and brown were intertwined and messy.

The smile on the corner of Fu Baiqiu's mouth gradually disappeared, and an inexplicable sourness came to her heart. She realized that this person was talking seriously, and she couldn't treat it with a joking attitude, but she couldn't answer this sentence.

When she knew that the past was a misunderstanding and the shackles in her heart were opened, she only let herself out at that moment, which meant that she was finally able to let go of the past and start planning for a new life in the future. But for this relationship, she never thought about it. go back.

Because she dared not.

I dare not devote myself to it again, I dare not experience it once again, and I dare not lock myself up again.

"Maomao..." Shi Jinzhi held her hand tightly.

Fu Baiqiu brushed his hair and laughed dryly: "Let's eat, I'm hungry."

She didn't want to respond, Shi Jinzhi was also savvy, lowered her eyes and murmured, hiding the bitterness in her heart, but held her hand more and more tightly, and continued to walk forward.

Because the students are on vacation and the faculty and staff are not yet on vacation, there is only one canteen open in the school, and only on the first floor, with few windows. It only meets the daily three meals for the current teachers and students, and does not pursue variety and characteristics.Shi Jinzhi eats in the cafeteria every few days, so he knows which window has what to eat, and goes straight to his favorite casserole rice.

Although it was a holiday, all the teachers and students who hadn't left could only eat in this cafeteria, and it happened to be the meal time, so the originally empty place with few people seemed crowded.

Fu Baiqiu only had one feeling when he went in: Everyone seemed to know Shi Jinzhi.

This is crap.

Not all of the 14 billion people in the country know each other, but there is really no one in the conservatory.

After thinking about it, she couldn't help laughing at herself.

The beautiful people are quite eye-catching in the crowd, especially at this moment there are two, which attract people's attention.After they bought their meals, they tacitly chose an empty seat in the corner, and sat down while avoiding looking eyes from all directions.

"How is it? Doesn't it taste good?" Shi Jinzhi stared at the person opposite and took the first bite, and couldn't help asking.

Fu Baiqiu nodded approvingly, indeed, he was very worthy of the price.

Anyone would be happy when the recommended thing is approved, especially the one he likes, Shi Jinzhi's heart is full of sweetness, and he giggles while eating.

"No wonder you don't want to go back these days. It turns out that the food in the cafeteria is so delicious." Seeing her smirk, Fu Baiqiu wanted to tease her.

But how teasing and reproachful these words are, depends on the understanding of the listener.

Shi Jinzhi couldn't understand it, and answered honestly: "The guess is half right."

"Oh?"

"You probably want to know what I'm doing these days?"

Fu Baiqiu coughed lightly, his face was a little unnatural, he couldn't keep his face from being poked so easily.

Shi Jinzhi said mysteriously: "Temporary secret."

"..."

Although there are many people in the cafeteria, it is not noisy. People around speak softly, and occasionally there is a small sound of tableware colliding.Fu Baiqiu ate quietly, and for some reason, her appetite was particularly good today. It is said that this big bowl of food far exceeded her usual appetite, and now she is still not full after eating a third of it.

"I want to eat|your tofu."

The person on the other side suddenly made a sound, Fu Baiqiu thought at first that she was showing her color in broad daylight| She picked some with a spoon and put them into her bowl.

However, Shi Jinzhi picked it back for her again, frowned and said, "Feed me."

The corners of Fu Baiqiu's eyes twitched, "Are you a three-year-old baby? You have to be fed." Besides, a three-year-old baby can eat by itself with a small spoon.

"Small hair."

Again.

Fu Baiqiu was angry and funny, as if he had returned to high school in a flash, this person was her little princess, she had to be coaxed.Her mind fluctuated slightly, she lowered her eyes and smiled slightly, picked up a spoonful of egg tofu, blew carefully, and brought it to her mouth, "Be careful of burning."

Shi Jinzhi opened her mouth gracefully, her lips almost covered the entire spoon, the tofu was tender and fragrant, she was satisfied, and puffed up her cheeks happily.

"Maomao is so nice."

"Childish." Fu Baiqiu smirked, withdrew his hand, and continued to eat as if nothing had happened.

Every bite is equivalent to an indirect kiss, Shi Jinzhi stared at it intently, and couldn't help asking: "Maomao, do you mind if I used the spoon?"

"Because it's you, I don't mind." Fu Baiqiu subconsciously said, his thoughts were immersed in the beautiful high school days, the two were so close that they shared a pair of chopsticks, a water glass, a bowl, and slept on the same bed, wishing to melt each other into their own flesh and blood, Why would you mind these.

Shi Jinzhi suddenly stopped talking.

The low-pitched conversations of the people around them instantly became harsh and noisy, but this corner was quiet and deserted, like an isolated island isolated from the world.

Fu Baiqiu looked up in surprise, met her reddish eyes, and swallowed the words "what's the matter" in his throat, only then did he realize what he said.

"Want to go to the movies this afternoon?" Shi Jinzhi blinked and changed the subject.

She also went down the steps, said hello, and then silently bowed her head to eat.

After dinner, Shi Jinzhi took Fu Baiqiu around the campus and listened to her talk about the past, such as the differences between foreign universities and domestic ones, and the differences between Eastern and Western cultures. She found that Fu Baiqiu had changed significantly. , When talking about the past, he will never frown again. On the contrary, his eyes are full of smiles, and he seems very happy, but he still keeps his mouth shut in terms of feelings.

Shi Jinzhi didn't ask any more questions, and listened to her quietly, feeling more and more regretful that he had lost a very important memory.

"What movie do you want to watch? I invite you." After getting into the car, Fu Baiqiu told her to fasten her seat belt and asked with his head tilted.

Shi Jinzhi smiled, looked at the phone screen, and said, ""Predecessor 3"."

"..."

"Or "Legend of the Demon Cat" is also fine." She immediately changed her words, as if she felt that it was not enough, she added: "After watching the trailer, I really like Concubine Yang's look."

Fu Baiqiu turned his head and looked straight ahead, his eyes flickered, and he replied in a low voice: "Okay."

She put one hand on the steering wheel, and took out her mobile phone with the other hand to order movie tickets, two, at a nearby theater, and there happened to be a show in half an hour.

To go to the theater, you only need to turn left at the school gate, get on a bridge, and the small commercial street at the crossroad after getting off the bridge is just 5 minutes to wait for a red light.

Shi Jinzhi consciously took out the mask and put it on. The cautious look was very interesting. Fu Baiqiu started to tease her again and asked, "Professor Shi is willing to leave your little cutie?"

The holding hand was tight, the knuckles were bent, Shi Jinzhi said sullenly: "I don't like little sister."

"Oh, then you like big sister?"

Shi Jinzhi frowned, turned to look at her: "I like people my age, such as you."

This person likes to tease her when he has nothing to do, but if he speaks seriously, he will be cowardly, especially in recent days, and he is completely different from the indifferent and decisive look last month.

what happened?

Sure enough, Fu Baiqiu immediately shut up, stopped joking, and led her into the building.

On the first floor, there was a family tea, Shi Jinzhi's eyes lit up, and said he wanted to drink, Fu Baiqiu led her to order again.There were a lot of people and they had to queue up. The two ordered a cup of cheese, peach and peach, and a cup of succulent strawberries. They waited for more than 20 minutes with the discs to get them, and entered the screening hall 1 minute before the opening of the movie.

The movie is based on an adaptation. The two of them had never read the original book, so they didn't know much about it at first, but it was better because of the beautiful lens, comfortable color tone, and gorgeous characters. They enjoyed a visual feast.

"Wow, Concubine Yang is so beautiful." Seeing the feast of bliss, Shi Jin was amazed.

When she went to Maweipo for a mutiny, she was so nervous that she finally revealed the truth about the death of the imperial concubine, and when she saw the dense scratches on the coffin lid, she burst into tears.

"It's so miserable, so miserable..."

Shi Jinzhi choked up and took a sip of the milk tea, tightly grasping Fu Baiqiu's hand on the armrest, the two lines of tear marks on his cheeks were reflected by the big screen, shining brightly.

On the contrary, Fu Baiqiu watched the whole process with a blank expression. He was only impressed by the character Chunqin. Later, when Concubine Yang Guifei was buried alive, she had no emotion at all. Perhaps she was used to countless real death scenes, so she had no qualms about it. , or even get bored.

Deliberately provocative.

When the screening ended and the lights came on, Shi Jinzhi was sobbing and sobbing. People around walked out and cast curious and inquiring glances until they were all gone and only the two of them were left in the hall.

"Don't cry." Fu Baiqiu took out a tissue from his bag and handed it to her, "It's just a movie."

"But it's too miserable, it's really too miserable..." The more I talked, the more I cried.

Love but not, life and death separated, knowing the truth later, powerless to return to heaven.The whole movie was summed up in these sixteen characters in Shi Jinzhi's mind.

She is a naturally romantic and sensual person. She has a different sensitivity to emotions than ordinary people, so she can easily understand the emotions contained in many ancient music works and resonate with the stories behind them. What a delicate and precious talent.Fu Baiqiu has always known her very well, so he never took her to watch sensational movies. In the past, when they lived together, they basically only watched Hollywood popcorn movies.

Miscalculated today.

She was crying so hard, Fu Baiqiu couldn't feel it, he couldn't think of a way to coax her, so he leaned over and hugged her, "Okay, okay, don't cry, people who are watching the next movie will come in later, let's go."

"Am I ugly now?" A muffled nasal voice came, and the man in his arms raised his head.

Fu Baiqiu nodded her nose, and exaggerated: "It's so ugly, when people see it, they think it's a monster running away from somewhere."

Shi Jinzhi: "..."

This trick worked, her attention was diverted, she raised her eyebrows unhappily, wiped away her tears, put on a mask, and said, "Let's go."

Fu Baiqiu smiled helplessly, stood up with his arms around her, and the two went out holding hands one after the other.

After the break, Fu Baiqiu returned to the day shift, still as busy as before, except that he was dragged by his apprentice to gossip during lunch time, and he almost lost the locker door.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed, and the Laba Festival was approaching. As the saying goes, after the Laba Festival, it is the New Year, but this year has become less interesting, and it is just a carnival for businesses, not to mention that the funeral parlor has never been associated with the word "joy" and has been staying for a long time. There is a feeling of not knowing what day it is in the world, and it is most difficult to feel the coming of a festival.

As soon as the Spring Festival holiday schedule came out, Fu Baiqiu saw his——

Seven full days of night shift.

"Why?! The night shifts are all in rotation, how can there be any reason? This is still during the Chinese New Year! I'm going to find the director..." Jiang Ning exploded when he came out of the cafeteria, and rushed to the office without any explanation.

"Come back!" Fu Baiqiu pulled her back, "Why are you looking for the director? He can't make this decision."

"If he can't do it, who can do it? It's clearly aimed at you, master, you have to fight for your rights, otherwise people will bully you because they see you as a soft persimmon..."

"Can you stop shouting?"

Jiang Ning looked around, stuck out his tongue, "Oh."

"Thank you, Xiao Jiang, for always speaking for me." Fu Baiqiu took a deep breath, put his hands on her shoulders, and raised a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth.

"You're too polite, Master, I didn't help you, I would just yell..." The girl lowered her head in embarrassment, her face turned red.

The smile in Fu Baiqiu's eyes deepened, and he brushed her broken hair, "Although your work here is just a transition, I think you can still learn something. You are still young and have a long way to go. Don't care about other people's opinions. We What the country lacks the most is sex|education and death education. Strictly speaking, it is a kind of luck that you have the opportunity to come into contact with the latter in person, because it can teach you that life and death are the most important thing in everything, and teach you to cherish and respect life more. It is a precious treasure in your life."

Jiang Ning nodded seriously, but he had a premonition, "Master, why do I feel that you are saying goodbye to me?"

"Almost, the contract expires at the end of the month, and I plan to resign."

"Ah, don't, Master, if you leave, what's the point of my staying here..." The little girl was about to cry.

Her cp, her dog food!

Fu Baiqiu hugged her reassuringly, and smiled helplessly, "Fool, there is always a feast that will end forever, I should plan the direction of my life in the future, you also have your own way to go, and we will meet again if we are destined, besides, we can keep online Let’s get in touch and hang out together if we have a chance.”

As he spoke, he rubbed her head like petting a puppy.

Jiang Ning grimaced, curled his lips: "If we go out to play together, will you still bring sister Jin?"

"meeting."

That's good.

Persevere in producing food, she has hope.

After get off work at three o'clock, Fu Baiqiu mentioned to the director that he was going to resign. Obviously the other party was unwilling, with a heartbroken look on his face, but some things were destined to be unspoken, and could not be said.

She knew in her heart that this middle-aged man was not pretending, but that he really didn't want her to leave, because the funeral industry has always been very short of people. Even if young people volunteer, the elders in the family will strongly oppose it, and some people who overcome all difficulties to get in often fail to work. I resigned after two years. There was no other reason. I was under a lot of psychological pressure and I was also afraid of the eyes of the outside world.

Experienced embalmers like her go one less.

After chatting for a few words, the director didn't force her to stay. She seemed to know why she wanted to resign. She didn't say much, just let her finish the last week and leave according to the procedure.

Fu Baiqiu took the car keys and thermos to the parking lot.

From far away, she saw someone standing beside her car, subconsciously thought of Chen Wang, until she got closer and saw clearly that it was him.

"Yo, Sister Immortal, it's time to get off work." Chen Wang also saw her.

Fu Baiqiu stood still, keeping a safe distance from him.

Mr. Chen put his hands in his pockets, walked forward slowly, and asked with a smile, "Are you enjoying the night shift?"

She took a step back and looked at him expressionlessly.

"Do you want to work night shifts in the future?" Although he was smiling, his eyes were vicious, and his teeth were gritted. "Or just let you go to the cemetery to watch the gate, huh?"

Fu Baiqiu sneered: "Do you think I rely on this job for a living?"

"Otherwise? Can you still resign? Hahahaha..."

Chen Wang laughed arrogantly, twisted his handsome skin, pointed at her nose and said "Pooh", and cursed: "I have seen a lot of vases like yours, maybe they were allotted to you by the gold master after playing badly." Did you come from this unlucky place? Shouting on the bed. Dad didn’t shout hard enough, so he didn’t make it into other units, did he?”

--Snapped!

Fu Baiqiu shook his hand and slapped him hard, and said with a smile, "Yes, I am going to resign, and there is still one week left. I hope I won't let me see you being pushed into the cremation furnace with my own eyes."

Say nothing and walk away.

The neighborhood was quiet.

The car parked in the garage for a while, Fu Baiqiu finished adjusting his emotions and cleared up his facial expressions, then got out of the car, walked up the stairs and entered the house - she didn't want to bring home the negative emotions she received outside, so she just drove it when she came out of the unit The car ran around Rongcheng and didn't come back until dark.

She opened the door and entered the room, unexpectedly smelling the aroma of food.

The kitchen door was not closed, and there was the sound of a spatula colliding inside. She walked over following the smell, and saw Shi Jinzhi standing in front of the stove, wearing an apron, seasoning in his left hand, and a shovel in his right. Video, stir fry in a decent way.

Turn off the fire, put on a plate, and work together.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a figure at the door...

Shi Jinzhi was startled, turned around, saw Fu Baiqiu leaning against the door and looking at him quietly, and said angrily, "Maomao, you scared me to death. When did you come back?"

"I just came back." Fu Baiqiu stepped forward to help her serve the dishes, looked at them by the way, and praised, "It seems that there has been improvement, it's not dark cooking anymore."

"Have I done dark cooking before?"

"often."

"..."

There was a brand new bottle of red wine and two goblets on the dining table. Fu Baiqiu was surprised, put down the dishes, and asked, "What's the festival today?"

"Nothing."

"Are you drinking during the festival?"

Shi Jinzhi took off his apron and put it aside, raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it a festival that you can't drink?"

Fu Baiqiu smiled without saying a word, took a corkscrew to open the red wine, and poured a little into each of the two glasses.

The scarlet wine is reflected on the crystal glass wall, exuding a charming atmosphere under the gentle light.

"Mao Mao."

"Ok?"

"I've contacted KRI." Shi Jinzhi went around to her side and gently held her wrist.

Fu Baiqiu froze, "What are you doing?"

"They said that I can go there anytime, and the people from the past are all there. I want to make things clear." Fingers rub|stroked along her wrists, and slowly got into the cuffs.

Fu Baiqiu moved aside calmly, but he was hooked by her other arm, and couldn't help frowning: "There's no need to find out."

"No." Shi Jinzhi tightened his arms and held her in his arms, "I want to know what happened back then, and I want...to make up for my mistakes."

Fu Baiqiu struggled a bit as the breath approached, and said helplessly: "Let it pass, no one is wrong, we can be friends."

"I don't want to be friends with Maomao." Shi Jinzhi said softly, his eyes darkened.

"..."

The person behind him leaned over, struggled to no avail, but was hugged even tighter, Fu Baiqiu smelled a hint of danger, and panicked for a moment, "Shi Jinzhi, let go..."

"Shh."

The man let out a soft breath, hugged her tightly and turned around quickly, pressing her firmly against the wall, the brilliance flowed in his bewitching and alluring eyes, and his voice was low| hoarse: "Kiss me."
