Rust II

He smiled and said, "It's really you who came to take Jiang Yuefang's class. Hey, I thought it was my uncle who deliberately made up lies to deceive me in order to trick me into coming to class early in the morning."

Hearing her mention of Xu Xin, Lin An couldn't help feeling turbulent after he had just calmed down. He subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction Xu Yuan came from, but he didn't see the black car that used to pick her up. His eyes couldn't help but darken. darkened.

When Xu Yuan saw it, she couldn't help being surprised, she moved a few steps closer to Lin An, and asked, "Mr. Lin, what are you looking at?"

Lin An quickly withdrew his too obvious gaze, shook his head, "...it's nothing." Then he pretended to be calm and said to Xu Yuan, who was looking at him, "...let's go in first."

When the two arrived in the classroom one after the other, it was only 07:30, and there was still half an hour before the official start of the class. Lin An remembered the text message Jiang Yuefang sent the night before, saying that he had left tutoring materials in the office. So I was going to the printing room to prepare it, so that it would be distributed after the class started, and the teaching content could also be enriched.

Xu Yuan had nothing to do. She came here early in the morning, intending to find out if it was really Lin An who came to substitute the teacher as Xu Xin said. After a day of fooling around outside, she went back to the bamboo garden. Now that she saw the only teacher Lin in the whole school who could convince her, she naturally obediently stayed. He also followed with great enthusiasm, neither making trouble nor causing trouble during the period, but sitting quietly on the sidelines, standing up from time to time to help a little.

Lin An was not used to Xu Yuan like this, but he felt relieved in his heart. Seeing her sitting on a chair beside her looking bored, she couldn't help but smiled, and said softly: "Don't waste your time here, I'm here too. It’s almost time to make a copy, and there are still more than 20 minutes before the class. If you feel bored, there is a copy of "Battle of the Red Cliff" in the drawer of the teacher's office. It is based on the expansion and adaptation of the original work. Take a moment."

Xu Yuan didn't move, but after Lin An finished speaking, she suddenly stared at him without moving.

Lin An noticed her gaze, smiled, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Yuan looked at him with a serious face, and suddenly opened her mouth and asked without thinking: "Mr. Lin, there is actually a question that I have been wondering for a long time."

Seeing her rare serious look, Lin An couldn't help but smile, "What?"

Xu Yuan raised her eyebrows and tilted her head, "Do you really like my uncle?"

Lin An was startled, and then his heart beat wildly.

The copier suddenly made a beeping sound. He looked down and saw that the button of the paper item was constantly flashing red, but he seemed to be stupid, staring at the constantly flashing reminder light, not knowing how to react. It was Xu Yuan who was the first to react. She leaned over and took out a stack of papers from the side cabinet, and then swiftly stuffed them into the paper tray.

The machine immediately resumed normal operation. Following the slight sound from the paper outlet, Xu Yuan clapped her hands, then straightened up and continued to smile, "Haha, it seems that I guessed it right?" Leaning her elbows on the front cover, she said quite proudly: "It seems that I really have to thank me for that nonsense composition. Hey, you don't know that I, Xu Yuan, have been able to write well on this subject since I was a child. It’s always unappreciative, you are the first one who not only doesn’t criticize me in the comments, but also gives me high marks.”

When Lin An heard the other party's last words, he knew that he was too guilty to lose all hope, and his heartbeat slowly slowed down. Then he remembered the "masterpiece" that the other party handed in not long ago with a novel idea and a good writing style. The corner of the mouth was pulled upwards, but in the next second, for some reason, he returned to loneliness.

Xu Yuan was still leaning on the machine, took a sip of the soy milk that Lin An had given her earlier on the side table, and then said: "But, although some of the content was made up by myself, the emotions are absolutely true, and I It’s really a pity for my uncle, eh, do you know that besides my uncle, there is actually another person I have contact with a lot, that is, a brother who grew up with my uncle, we all call him Brother Ding, Most of my uncle's deeds were told by him."

Lin An's eyes flashed.

Ever since Xu Yuan was awarded by Lin An for her composition last time, she has been thinking about when she will have the opportunity to have an in-depth exchange with this teacher Lin who surprised her. Now that the opportunity comes, she will certainly not let it go, so While secretly observing Lin An's expression, he began to dictate the wonderful past that couldn't be contained in the original test paper.

"I heard from Brother Ding that my uncle's charm back then was almost to the point where men and women could take it all in. Hey, don't mention how majestic he is. There is no place in C City that he can't hold. When he was famous, no one dared to come to provoke him. Moreover, he is truly chivalrous and courageous, definitely not the kind of unprincipled crime, and there is no one around who does not admire him."

When Xu Yuan talked about Xing, her blushing and pretty face was exactly the same as that of Ding Hua when he was young. If he paired it with a piece of Xingmu in his hand, he would look like a storyteller with a brilliant tongue.

Lin An didn't interrupt her, but only looked at each other with a smile on his face.

When Xu Yuan saw that he really bought it, her interest couldn't help but increased, and she continued to say cheerfully: "For example, it stands to reason that civilized people like you who are engaged in culture should have looked down on my uncle's kind of "walking around" at the beginning. 'It's from the military force group, but guess what, my Ding brother said that there was an excellent college student in their team back then. But I just like to stay by my uncle's side and hang around behind him."

Lin An couldn't help but blushed when he heard this. He knew that the useless "top student" that Ding Hua and Xu Yuan were talking about was referring to himself, and he remembered that short period of time in the dark but full of wantonness. , I can't help but feel dazed.

Seeing that his expression suddenly dimmed, Xu Yuan thought that the other party didn't believe her, so she couldn't help raising her eyebrows: "Hey, don't you believe it, it's just so unbelievable and legendary, by the way, there are still a lot of them in the cabinet in my uncle's study. There are empty cigarette cases, the precious ones are not good, and I don’t want to throw them away after smoking them. They are placed on the shelf for offerings. According to my brother Ding, they were given by the college student back then, which shows how good the relationship between the two was back then. "

Lin An was startled, and suddenly the blood in his whole body boiled and burned following these words.

"You, what did you say?" He stared blankly at the other party.

At this moment, Xu Yuan raised her wrist to look at her watch, sighed uncomfortably, and reminded the other party: "It's almost eight o'clock, shall we go back to the classroom?"

Lin An woke up suddenly, and after he stabilized his mind for a long time, he nodded slightly, picked up the copied materials and walked out of the materials room with the other party.

However, on the way to the teaching building, the last words Xu Yuan said still lingered in my ears, and the pain and depression that I felt because of the unresponsive text messages last night were quietly quiet again. Lifted his head upwards.

For a moment, his heart was surging, mixed with sorrow and joy, Lin An walked forward in a daze, and he couldn't even hear what Xu Yuan said next to him.

He felt so long in a short period of less than 5 minutes, and in the same way, a 45-minute class has become unbearable like never before.

Lin An stood on the podium in a state of confusion, citing the scriptures to preach and teach, but his mind had already wandered away.Obviously, what he sees and speaks are all very neat student model essays, but what emerges in his mind is all about the person's voice, smile and every move.

Lin An has been in the industry for more than ten years, and he never imagined that one day he would be so unprofessional.

However, when the bell rang for the end of get out of class, he hurriedly announced the end of get out of class without concealing his anxiety, then walked to the corner of the stairs, and took out the mobile phone from his coat pocket.

There was still no news from the other party on the notification bar, but Lin An's mood was strangely no longer as depressed and uncomfortable as before.

Even when there was only an extremely indifferent and calm prompt to shut down the phone, there was only a faint sense of loss in my heart.

Xu Yuan's words were like a shot of powerful heart-boosting agent, which easily wiped away the confusion that had shrouded her heart for many years. Standing in the corridor covered with sunlight, Lin An suddenly felt that the current self was better than any other moment in the past. You must have a clear goal, and you are more aware of what you want and what you are doing than at any moment before.

So when he tried to dial out the string of numbers that he knew so well but was also told that the phone was turned off, Lin An just looked up at the clear sky outside the building, and then returned to the mailbox without hesitation. page, after thinking for a moment, he entered such a sentence firmly with his eyes——

Brother Xu, what I said last night... I haven't finished yet, if you have time, can you call me back after you're done.

After a pause, he wrote the second sentence:

I have something else I want to tell you face to face.
