Rust II
Chapter 22
When Lin An returned to the small box, Jiang Yuefang was chatting with Feng Ping about the communication skills between lectures and students. When Bai Jing saw him enter the door, she smiled and raised her voice to say hello: "Mr. Lin, are you done calling? "
Lin An smiled at her.Bai Jing keenly glanced at the mobile phone in his hand, then quickly cast a glance at his good friend Feng Ping who couldn't help but turn around to look at the sound immediately, blinked half-jokingly, and teased in a low voice: "Female Friend Chagang?"
Lin An was taken aback for a moment.
Feng Ping, Jiang Yuefang and others also looked at him together.Lin An smiled shyly, but did not deny it. He just took the coat from the back of the chair and apologized to those present: "I'm sorry, I... have something to do at home, so I might have to leave first." Jiang Yuefang said softly: "Mr. Jiang, if there is any change in the discussion later..."
Jiang Yuefang smiled gently, took his words and said: "It's okay, if there is any change, I'll just go to your class to find you when I study tomorrow morning."
Lin An felt relieved, "Thank you."
Jiang Yuefang chuckled, "Thank you, we don't see each other all day long, are you still so polite?" She also looked at the mobile phone in his hand a little teasingly, and said along with Bai Jing's joke: "Okay, let's go , don't delay, the partner will have an opinion later, don't turn around and rely on us."
Everyone laughed.Lin An still didn't refute, his face blushed, and he said goodbye to the ridicule and left.
When I walked out of the store again, the sky was darker than it was 10 minutes ago, so along the way, the street lights on both sides of Linli also looked brighter, and the stars and moon in the sky also became more beautiful against the backdrop of the night. distinct.
Lin An quickly walked out of Qingyun Road along the bustling street, and he shortened it to seven or eight minutes for the journey that originally took fifteen minutes.The joy and anticipation in his heart were so clear, even though his heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest, he still couldn't stop the smiles that spread from his mouth and eyes one after another.
The gate of Cuifangyuan soon appeared in the distance. Lin An looked at the security room with lights not far away, and slowly slowed down.His eyes kept wandering on the parking space in front of him, as if he was searching for something, but he didn't see the familiar silver-gray car figure in his memory until he reached the gate of the community illuminated by the wall lamp.
The door of the security room was closed tightly, and Xu, the usually enthusiastic security master, went to eat, leaving only a bright and dazzling incandescent lamp and a few evening newspapers piled up on the table.Lin An habitually glanced inside a few times, then turned his head to look at the green road a few meters away, and lowered his eyes in disappointment.
He stood on the quiet sidewalk for a while, silently calming down the disappointment in his heart and the disordered heartbeat before, and then he took out his mobile phone from his pocket to find out the other party's number, but at the moment he was about to dial, suddenly Ran heard a clear whistle coming from behind.
Lin An was stunned for a moment, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and immediately followed the whistle across his mind strangely.He turned his head reflexively and looked in the direction of the voice behind him.
Under the dim light that was mostly blocked by mottled tree shadows, a familiar figure was leaning casually under a certain osmanthus tree. Seeing that he had turned his head, he put down his arms around his chest, and then Standing up a little bit, he blew a short whistle at him again, and after finishing blowing, he slightly curled the corners of his lips at him who was already stunned, and showed a slight smile.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin An froze for a moment, and froze in place.
Under the dimly lit street lights, Xu Xin was simply wearing a white shirt, and seemed to be holding an unlit cigarette in his hand.
The night wind blows, and the looming cinnamon floats in the cool air.
Lin An also smiled at the opposite side, and couldn't help but think of those countless summer nights, that person usually dressed like this, sometimes it was a white undershirt, sometimes it might be a white shirt, he wore them, always or Squatting, or standing, or leaning against a certain corner, or under a certain tree, waiting for myself whose movements are always half a beat behind.While waiting, there would often be one or two clear and loud whistles not far away.
Just like this moment.
Lin An slowly walked towards the man standing under the shadow of many trees.Xu Xin watched him approach, smiled, put the cigarette he had just taken out back into the cigarette case, then looked in the direction he came from, and asked, "Why so fast?"
Lin Anwu came back to his senses, and lowered his gaze a little shyly.
Under the blurred light, there seemed to be insects flying around. Xu Xin stretched out his hand and pulled the other party to his side, and asked, "What were you looking for just now?" Lin An glanced at the other party's palm on his arm, and replied: "...No, I didn't see your car..."
Xu Xin smiled and explained: "The entrance was full, and I couldn't find a space, so I parked outside the supermarket next door."
Lin An looked at the other's hand clasped on his forearm all the time, and didn't respond.
Xu Xin noticed his gaze, and followed his gaze to look at the shoulders and arms of the two of them next to each other. When he saw that he was still holding the other's palm, he smiled, but he did not let go, but followed the trend. She moved down and gently held his palm.
Lin An was obviously stunned, and immediately raised his head to look at the other party.
Xu Xin looked directly at him, with a little strength in his hands, the temperature in his palms was conveyed more clearly and closely, "It's still early, let's go for a walk together?"
Lin An nodded.
Xu Xin pulled him out from under the dimly lit tree, and he didn't let go until the side of the wide road, put it back in his trouser pocket, and walked leisurely towards the opposite direction of Qingyun Road.Lin An walked beside him, shoulders and arms touching, couldn't help turning his head to look at him from time to time.Xu Xin felt it, turned around and asked with a smile, "What are you looking at?"
Lin An blushed, turned back his eyes nervously, and moved his body involuntarily to the other side, but as soon as his feet were staggered, he was hooked by the other side's shoulders and brought back.
"Go inside, be careful." A deep voice rang next to his ears.
Lin An's face became hotter for a moment.
Occasionally, pedestrians passed by on the boulevard, and they turned their heads curiously to look at the two people who behaved intimately. Lin An shyly avoided, but did not make any other gestures of rejection.
Along the way, the evening wind blew by, and vehicles of all sizes kept coming and going. The two walked side by side on the tiled path covered with fallen leaves, walking and chatting casually. After more than ten minutes, they were facing each other. Lin An, who was always sensitive and tense, gradually relaxed.
While walking, the two came across the open park on Wanlin Road that they passed together last week.Xu Xin stopped, looked at the various vehicles parked at the door, and the pedestrians passing in and out, and said with a smile, "Go for a walk?"
Lin An nodded, remembering the other party's invitation to stand outside the wall last week, he couldn't help but also laughed.
The two entered through a small door on one side, avoiding the loud music in the square and the crowded playground, and went straight to the most secluded bamboo forest and promenade stone bridge for a stroll.
And as the two walked deeper and deeper, the noise in the city just now became farther and farther away. Gradually, as if they had strayed into a land of no one, only the occasional chirping of insects in the bushes remained, and the two Conversational whispers rang out from time to time.
This park is indeed as Xu Xin introduced earlier, it is extremely exquisitely constructed, with mountains, rivers, towers, winding paths and corridors, although most of them are artificial landscaping, but the place where it should be noisy is lively, and the place where it should be silent is extraordinarily quiet.
Both of them came here for the first time, they were very unfamiliar with the whole environment, and they knew little about the road ahead, so from the beginning to the end, they only chatted and walked leisurely according to the guidance of the lights along the way.And Lin An's originally tense mood completely relaxed on the high and low stone road at this time, and even in front of Xu Xin's occasional teasing, he no longer seemed too flustered.
He also began to boldly try to respond like every time the other party cared and greeted him during the three days when the two were separated, such as asking about the other party's work and schedule in the past few days, or asking about the other party's health and fitness. Housing.Xu Xin answered all of them, and even added a few more sentences after answering.
Lin An listened very carefully.What the other party said was exactly what he hadn't been involved in for more than ten years, and it was also what he was most eager to understand and know for so many days.
The moonlight leaked into this small square through the branches above their heads. The two chatted all the way along the stone path, and finally stopped at an arch under the promenade. He took out the cigarette case from his pocket.
Lin An's eyes moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, Xu Xin saw it, smiled and then put it back.When it was over, he sighed slightly and said, "I can't quit for a while."
Lin An was a little embarrassed by his serious expression. He dodged a little and withdrew his overly focused and hot eyes on the other party, and said softly: "No, it's okay..." After a pause, he couldn't help but raise his head again. Looking at the other party again, he said a little shyly: "Take your time."
Now it was Xu Xin's turn to bear it no longer. He smiled and looked at the face of the other party who was obviously in a state of confusion but pretended to be calm. Suddenly, he felt joking again, but he didn't expect that just as he raised his hand, two figures suddenly rushed out from the side road. , a man and a woman, laughing and playing, came from far away, looking like a young couple,
I saw the girl trotting in front, turning her head from time to time, laughing and blaming something, the boy chased after him in a funny and helpless way, constantly reminding: "Hey, don't run, don't run, be careful!"There are many rocks here, don't fall.
The aisle is narrow, and if someone passes by in a hurry, there must be one party to avoid.
Lin An looked at them with a smile, and wanted to back away from the door opening, but didn't want to be suddenly taken by a force in front of him as soon as he moved.
The laughter of the young couple quickly disappeared on the other side of the road.In the dim light, Xu Xin half-circled him in his arms, and did not let go for a long time.
The scorching temperature spread from this sudden hug to the entire chest, and it seemed to be ironed together with the cool autumn wind around him.
Neither of them spoke for a moment.Xu Xin's breathing is close at hand, and his steady breath is like flowing water on the reef, slowly flowing over every inch of skin texture he can touch.
Lin An's back was straight, his hands and feet were stiff, and under extreme shyness and tension, the temperature on his face rose uncontrollably.He didn't dare to move at all, and after a long time, he felt a slight vibration in the chest clinging to him, as if someone couldn't help laughing.
Xu Xin's voice rang next to his ears.
He suddenly asked: "Are you afraid?"
Lin An was taken aback.
The opponent's arm tightened even more, and after two seconds, he released it, staring at him tenderly.
Lin An was slightly taken aback, not knowing how to answer.Xu Xin looked at him for a while, then looked back with a smile, turned his head to look at the darkening sky, and said, "It's getting late, shall we go back?"
Lin An nodded, "Okay."
So the two turned back the same way.
The two still walked side by side along the way, but there was no overly intimate behavior. Except for a few sections of the path that turned from light to dark, Xu Xin would subconsciously hold each other's arms or hands. Just like ordinary friends, you can move forward as usual in the crowd.
Xu Xin continued to tell him some interesting things that happened around him in recent years, especially when talking about Ding Hua, his tone could not stop crying and laughing and helpless.Lin An sometimes lags behind by a step or two, looking at the tall and straight figure of the other party under the sultry night, his thoughts stay on the question asked by the other party more than ten minutes ago.
Are you scared?He didn't know what the meaning behind the other party's question was, and he felt a little ignorant and confused about the specific object referred to by the word "fear".However, there always seems to be an indistinct voice in my heart, constantly struggling to jump up, trying to uncover the answer covered by the fog.
Xu Xin was still talking about all kinds of embarrassing things about Ding Hua in recent years, when he turned his eyes by chance, he found that Ding Hua looked distracted, so he couldn't help but stop and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Lin An came back to his senses, and smiled awkwardly, "...it's nothing." After a pause, he asked again, "Where did you just... say? I, I didn't hear clearly."
Xu Xin smiled slightly, and said softly: "I said that Xiao Ding got a new nickname recently, I want you to guess what it is?"
Lin An restrained his mind, lowered his eyelids and thought about it seriously, then shook his head.
Ding Hua has a bright personality and a witty conversation. Although he has a bit of a temper, he is very loyal. Just change it at intervals.He doesn't care either, everyone is happy to respond, no matter how vulgar or ugly the nickname is, he will accept it from anyone who comes.
And Ding Hua's nickname is mostly inseparable from his "brilliant deeds" at that time.For example, for a while, he stole chickens from the Director’s house so badly that he was dubbed “Brother Chicken” by the brothers in the workshop. The fact that he was chased all the way by his master with his bare butt was exposed, and that nickname changed again, becoming "Guardi".
Lin An recalled this, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Xu Xin turned around and leaned against a tree casually, revealing the answer: "Call Manager Shan."
Lin An was startled, "Why? Isn't his surname Ding?"
Xu Xin looked quite helpless, and replied after a smile: "I usually fall asleep during a meeting in the department, but I am only energetic when I ask him to approve the funding list." I don't know if I didn't wake up, but I signed my name as Shan Hua, and when it was passed on afterwards, no one in the company remembered his surname Ding."
Following his description, Lin An imagined Ding Hua's embarrassment at that time, and then laughed.
After Xu Xin finished speaking, he was silent for two seconds, raised his eyes to look at the gate of Cuifangyuan not far away, and said in a low voice: "It's almost nine o'clock." After a short pause, his eyes fell back to Lin An On the body, smiled and said: "Go back to rest first? There is still class tomorrow. You should also prepare for the open day on Saturday? It won't affect you in the next few days. I will come to you after the event is over."
Lin An was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but before he could react, he said the words to persuade him.
"No, it's okay..."
"Huh?" Xu News said with a smile in his eyes.
Lin An's whole body became hot all of a sudden, and his gaze became wandering all of a sudden.But the reluctance in his heart was so clear that he couldn't suppress it no matter what, so he pursed his lips slightly, finally raised his face, gathered enough courage and strength to continue to say to the other party: "It's okay." After speaking, his eyes flashed slightly , the voice is getting lower and lower, "It's...not very busy..."
Before the words were finished, Xu Xin couldn't help laughing out loud. He pulled the red-faced tomato-like man in front of him closer, and then quickly kissed the man's slightly parted lips.
There are cars passing by constantly on the road, but there are not many pedestrians. In addition, the lights are blurred and the moon shadows are mottled. No one has noticed that such a scorching heat is quietly brewing and born in this dim corner.
The attached temperature is fleeting.Xu Xinshou still landed on the opponent's shoulder, and replied in a low voice: "Okay, see you tomorrow."
Lin An's face was completely red, he just nodded his head in a daze when he heard the words, and replied in a voice like a mosquito gnat: "Yes."
Seeing this, Xu Xin smiled again, looked directly at him, and after a short pause, he seemed to explain: "Xu Yuan sent three text messages in a row early this morning, complaining that I didn't go back for a few days, regardless of her life or death. , and said that if you don’t go back and sign for her, the good image you have created in front of you will be destroyed.”
Lin An smiled, but as soon as he thought of the other person's face that rolled his eyes to the back of his head when he saw him in class in the morning, and the question he suddenly asked about his relationship with Xu Xin, his face couldn't help but change. It got a little hotter.
He couldn't help raising his eyes to look at the other party. Xu Xin was looking at him with a smile. Seeing him looking up, he straightened his back and said warmly: "Okay, the wind is getting stronger and stronger. Go back quickly. I'll go next door to pick up the car."
Lin An nodded.
The two parted at the gate of Cuifangyuan. Lin An stood outside the gate guard, and waited until he could no longer see each other before turning around and entering the community.
Because of the promise before parting, every minute and every second spent alone seemed to be filled with an indescribable warmth.Lin An deeply remembered every word Xu Xin said tonight and every trifle he narrated, and these words automatically merged into pictures in his mind, vivid and three-dimensional.He can feel that the distance between the two is rapidly approaching because of this vividness. He is obsessed with learning more about each other's past, and he is also eager to listen to the past that the other party has never revealed to him. What is exciting and exciting is the coming, every day that belongs to them.
Lin An didn't know how long this dream-like day would last, and he didn't want to make too many plans and assumptions about the illusory future. He only knew that the other party was indeed waiting at the gate of Cuifangyuan on Tuesday evening as promised , and every day after that, I can see the figure of the other party waiting in the sunset after a tense and tiring work.They ate, chatted, and walked together, just like in the steel factory they met when they were young, but it was completely different from that time, hugging, lingering, and intimacy.
Saturday came soon, and Lin An rushed to school early that day, but he didn't want to hear Xu Yuan calling him not far away, "Mr. Lin, good morning!"
He turned his head to look, and saw that the little girl was dressed very formally today, with a ponytail thrown behind her head, and she was in high spirits.He responded with a smile: "Morning." Then he looked behind her.Sure enough, the next moment, Xu Xin got out of the car, and the two eyes met in the air, and they smiled silently at each other.
"Why are you here so early?" He looked at the other party and asked.Standing between the two of them, Xu Yuan thought that Lin An was asking herself, rolled her eyelids and said in dissatisfaction: "It's not my uncle, I've been urging him early in the morning, and I don't know why I'm in such a hurry. I’ve never seen him be so active at that time.”
Lin An smiled, and quietly glanced at the person complained about.Xu Xin didn't say anything, but just called out in a low voice: "Xu Yuan." The little girl pouted immediately, winked at Lin An and said, "He's the one who is serious."
Lin An couldn't help laughing again.
Xu Yuan secretly observed the reactions of the two of them. Although she was not sure about the specific friendship between the two of them, for some reason, the teacher Lin in front of her, who was gentle in everything she did, gave her an indescribable sense of security. Especially in front of Xu Xin.And the facts did prove that her inexplicable intuition was correct.Normally, she would never dare to "spout wild words" in front of Xu Xin in such an unruly manner, but you see now, she made complaints from left to right and complained from right to left, and she didn't say anything. Except for her name, she didn't even fart.This can't help but make her more certain that she, the head teacher who has known her for less than three months, has a very close relationship with her uncle.
Sure enough, in the next second, Xu Xin asked Lin An in a gentle voice she had never heard before: "Have you had breakfast?"
The other party smiled, "Well, I cooked some porridge in the morning."
After hearing this, Xu Yuan couldn't help but rolled her eyes in her heart, and then took a sip of the soy milk in her hand viciously: She said, why when she went down halfway to buy zongzi, her uncle asked her to buy an extra one. You're waiting here, but unfortunately, they don't give you the chance to be courteous at all.
The three of them walked towards the teaching building together, and arrived at the door of class 7 after a while.Xu Yuan took her schoolbag and sat down spontaneously in her seat, while Lin An led Xu Xin to the area in the back row specially arranged for parents to sit, and hesitated about dozens of seats.Xu Xin stood behind him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin An smiled and explained: "Originally, the seats were planned to be arranged according to the list when the squad leader arrived, but you..."
Xu Xin understood, smiled and continued, "Are you early?"
"En." Lin An nodded, "But it's okay, and it's not a hard and fast rule." After speaking, he turned to look at him, and asked a little shyly, "...Where do you want to sit?"
Xu Xin took advantage of the opportunity and took a seat at the corner of the back door, and said, "Whatever you want." Then he raised his head and smiled, "It's fine if I can see you clearly."
Lin An's face became uncontrollably hot again, he coughed in a concealed manner, and said softly: "Then, you wait here for a while, about 10 minutes later, students and their parents will start to arrive at class one after another... I'm going back to the office to prepare something."
Xu Yuan arranged the desks neatly for the first time, and then quietly paid attention to the movement at the back door. Seeing Lin An leaving at this moment, she couldn't help but shouted in Xu Xin's direction: "Hey, uncle."
Xu Xin looked at her, only to see that the other party gave him a sly smile, winked at the place where Lin An disappeared, and said, "You still don't admit it?" He snorted and hummed: "You guys know each other obviously." As he spoke, he leaned against the back table, and said with a little pride, "It seems that you are quite familiar."
Xu Xin glanced at her and said nothing.Seeing that he didn't deny it, Xu Yuan immediately pretended to be aggrieved, and muttered: "It's so mysterious...you actually lied to me together with Brother Ding, why? I'm afraid I will know that there is no law."
Xu Xin still didn't talk to her, just looked at her with a half-smile. After a few seconds, he turned his eyes away and replied lightly: "Read your book carefully."
After a quarter past seven, a large number of students and their parents began to gather at the gates of each class. The class leader assisted Lin An, who had returned, to arrange seats and other matters in an orderly manner. Seeing the voices of greeting and asking each other, there were students whispering among each other in front of them.In the chaos, a few girls who were near the back door began to point at Xu Xin, turning their heads and looking behind.There were a few curious ones who inevitably started talking after following the guide.
"Hey, whose parent is that handsome guy? He looks so young."
"I don't know... Hehe, I'm interested. If you are interested, you can ask Mr. Lin after school."
"Don't talk nonsense. Hey, keep your voice down, he seems to have noticed."
Xu Yuan heard it faintly, and couldn't help but rolled her eyes secretly, but she couldn't help but also turned her head and looked at the source of the nympho, she didn't expect that it didn't matter if she didn't look at it, this look almost scared her out of her wits ——I saw that her uncle, who was always serious and unsmiling, was caught by some evil at this time, and he was smiling in a certain direction with the corners of his mouth curled up, and there was an indescribable "tenderness and sweetness" in that smile ".
Xu Yuan couldn't help shaking, and immediately followed that gaze to look forward. The next second, Lin An was talking softly with other parents while facing the window sill.
Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the two of them thoughtfully. For some reason, the scene that Ding Hua told her about the "college students" who mixed with them suddenly flashed back in her mind. At the same time, he carefully recalled the other party's reaction when he heard the red leather cigarette case kept by her uncle when he was in Lin An's office last week, and then contacted the familiar interaction between the two that he had witnessed with his own eyes at this moment. With a flash of inspiration, a very bold speculation came to my mind: let me go, the cultural person "Xiao Lin" that Brother Ding mentioned is hanging around her uncle's ass all day, could it be the teacher Lin in front of me...
As soon as this thought appeared, another thought followed: No wonder... No wonder her uncle has been more diligent in signing her home school booklet this semester, and he is more careful about her small actions at school than before. Fingering the palm, it's like having the eyes of the sky.Dare to have placed an "undercover agent" beside her!
With this inference, Xu Yuan spent the whole morning subconsciously looking for clues to prove her guess, and the result did not disappoint her.
I don't know if it's because I have a conclusion in my heart, so I look at everything with a bias, so even if Lin An's eyes accidentally glanced towards the back door during the lecture, or his eyes stopped at the back door for a while, Xu Yuan felt that the other party's eyes most likely had something to do with her uncle.
if not?Apart from Xu Xin, there was no other person staying in the field by the back door.
Xu Yuan suddenly thought a little angrily.
And at noon, the performance of the two of them directly confirmed her conjecture.
Because the school also arranged some other interactive projects in the afternoon, when the last math class in the morning was over, Lin An came in to inform about the lunch. The canteen was specially opened for free meals for everyone. Of course, if you want to take your children out to eat, you just need to come back before the afternoon activities.
So Xu Yuan watched Xu Xin walk to the podium after Lin Anzai announced the news, and asked with a smile, "How do you arrange it at noon?"
Lin An glanced at him, and was still sorting out the feedback form of the parents who had just received the class, and shyly said: "I will go to the cafeteria to eat with the students in the class. There are so many people today, so I should look at it more Don't worry, and... if any parents want to talk to me about their children, it will be more convenient, after all, they will be divided into subjects soon." Then he looked at Xu Yuan who was following Xu Xin, and asked with a smile: "You guys What? Are you planning to go out or..."
Xu Yuan patted Xu Xin on the shoulder, and quickly said with a smile, "Uncle, it just so happens that there is a new stone barbeque near our school, why don't we..." But he didn't want to be interrupted mercilessly by the other party before he finished speaking.
"We are with you."
Lin An stopped moving his hands, looked at Xu Yuan's instantly sad expression, and couldn't help but smile.
After more than ten minutes, the three of them walked into the large cafeteria on the first floor together, and most of the students and parents had already taken their seats in the pre-divided areas.Lin An found the location of class 7, ordered some food, picked an empty seat at random, and sat down with Xu Xin and Xu Yuan.Sure enough, there were many parents who came to say hello to Lin An and ask for advice on future subjects. Lin An patiently replied one by one, causing the meal to last for almost an hour before it was over.Xu Xin always sat across from each other without saying a word, not showing the slightest impatience, and even found that the food on the other party's plate was cold, stood up quietly and ordered another meal and hot soup for the other party .
Xu Yuan's jaw almost dropped from her uncle's enthusiasm and thoughtfulness.
As time passed by, there were fewer and fewer people in the cafeteria, and most of the people left were the parents of the students in each class who were still communicating with the class teacher or the teacher.Xu Yuan pretended to be concentrating on playing with her mobile phone with her head down, and she also stayed on her seat. She was really curious, and wanted to see how many jaw-dropping things her uncle could do today.
The result naturally did not disappoint her.
In the afternoon, according to the original plan of the open day, X Middle School gathered all the students in the second year of high school and the parents who stayed in the afternoon to the gymnasium. The big and small achievements in the past few months.Xu Yuan has always been not interested in this kind of "commendation meeting" like a foot wrap, so she yawned and drowsy after hearing it.So when her name was read loudly from the microphone, she trembled all over and almost fell off the chair, thinking that this commendation meeting was open and turned into a criticism/fighting meeting, otherwise why would she appear suddenly? Yuan's name?But after listening carefully, I discovered that what was being announced on the stage was the shortlist for the "Nursing Cup" composition competition.
Xu Yuan was a little surprised. She didn't expect that a nonsense article she handed in on Tuesday would actually be selected. You know, this was the first time she had been associated with the word "excellent" since she graduated from kindergarten.And obviously, she was not the only one who was surprised. There were dozens of pairs of eyes in her class, and even those in other classes who had admired her notoriety for a long time turned their faces to look at her together.Those eyes all reveal incredible, one by one, like looking at a diorama.
Xu Yuan made up her mind, straightened her back a little weakly, then glanced at Xu Xin who was sitting beside her with lingering fear, and began to plan in her heart to go back to ask for a reward, but she didn't expect that as soon as she turned her head, she found that the other party was facing him. He looked at a place not far ahead and smiled slightly.
She rolled her eyeballs a little, and immediately based on the experience she had observed in the morning, she looked at the seat where Lin An was sitting in the first two rows with incomparable precision. As expected, the same smile immediately came into her sight.
For the rest of the time, Xu Yuan felt like a scout. Whenever there was any trouble, she would be inexplicably excited and excited, so that even in the game interaction session, which was the most lazy and dismissive in the past, she also behaved uncharacteristically. He showed great interest—only because the focus of this session is not the students, but the parents and teachers of various subjects who came from afar.
Xu Yuan didn't know what kind of mentality it was, she paid close attention to Lin An's movements the whole time, and whenever she saw the right opportunity, she thought of a way to bring the other party and Xu Xin together, and she wanted to get involved in any game , back-to-back, side-by-side, two-on-three-legged, and even the most sneering ball jump relay in the past, she rushed to the forefront with high spirits.
Lin An couldn't help laughing and crying at her unusually positive performance. It wasn't because she didn't want to participate in these interactions, but because Xu Yuan, no matter which activity team she got into, would yell at him with all her might. : "Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, here and here, let's compare this item!"
In the whole gymnasium, she is the one with the most spirit and the most righteousness. Other students, even the most difficult to control two-faced prickly head, will have to do so because of the special situation where parents and teachers gather together. She restrained herself a bit, not to mention changing her appearance, she still knew how to pretend to be cute and reserved, but Xu Yuan alone was still going straight and rampant, shouting loudly, and half of the people had to pay attention to her.
After a few helpless refusals, Chen Jianliang, who was standing aside, couldn't help being happy, and asked him with a smile: "Mr. Lin, it's rare that it's so lively, why don't you come in and play two rounds with your classmates?" He said and watched Dozens of other teachers in the Two Eyes Hall who had been dragged into the battle of each class pushed their glasses and laughed out loud: "Oh, look, Lao Jiang's old legs are quite powerful, haha, he snatched another one!" First, not inferior to young people."
Just when Xu Yuan called him at the other end, Lin Anxun looked over and didn't know what crooked trick the other party used to encourage other students from Class 7 in the team to shout at his end together: Teacher Lin, Come one, Teacher Lin, come one...
This was great, the momentum was so great that even the attention of other classes was attracted, and they all turned their eyes to look at Class 7, which "actively" became the focus.
Lin An smiled a little embarrassedly, and Chen Jianliang was also amused by this scene. He laughed and said to the camp of Class 7 not far away: "Your Teacher Lin doesn't want to be with you, he can't find it." companion."
Class 7 cooperated and let out a burst of boos.
As Chen Jianliang said, he turned his head to Lin An, joined in the fun and invited with a smile: "Mr. Lin, why don't we get together? It's rare to relax."
Unexpectedly, before the words were finished, another voice suddenly appeared behind the two of them, "I'm coming." It was deep and gentle, but it revealed an undeniable firmness.Chen Jianliang looked back in surprise, only to see that standing behind him was Xu Xin who had walked down from the stands at some point.
In the next 40 minutes, Xu Xin and Lin An were firmly bound together as Xu Yuan wished. No, to be more precise, it should be her uncle who forcibly tied each other to herself, and Lin An An Ye did not refuse to resist the whole process, so everyone watched
Lin An smiled at her.Bai Jing keenly glanced at the mobile phone in his hand, then quickly cast a glance at his good friend Feng Ping who couldn't help but turn around to look at the sound immediately, blinked half-jokingly, and teased in a low voice: "Female Friend Chagang?"
Lin An was taken aback for a moment.
Feng Ping, Jiang Yuefang and others also looked at him together.Lin An smiled shyly, but did not deny it. He just took the coat from the back of the chair and apologized to those present: "I'm sorry, I... have something to do at home, so I might have to leave first." Jiang Yuefang said softly: "Mr. Jiang, if there is any change in the discussion later..."
Jiang Yuefang smiled gently, took his words and said: "It's okay, if there is any change, I'll just go to your class to find you when I study tomorrow morning."
Lin An felt relieved, "Thank you."
Jiang Yuefang chuckled, "Thank you, we don't see each other all day long, are you still so polite?" She also looked at the mobile phone in his hand a little teasingly, and said along with Bai Jing's joke: "Okay, let's go , don't delay, the partner will have an opinion later, don't turn around and rely on us."
Everyone laughed.Lin An still didn't refute, his face blushed, and he said goodbye to the ridicule and left.
When I walked out of the store again, the sky was darker than it was 10 minutes ago, so along the way, the street lights on both sides of Linli also looked brighter, and the stars and moon in the sky also became more beautiful against the backdrop of the night. distinct.
Lin An quickly walked out of Qingyun Road along the bustling street, and he shortened it to seven or eight minutes for the journey that originally took fifteen minutes.The joy and anticipation in his heart were so clear, even though his heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest, he still couldn't stop the smiles that spread from his mouth and eyes one after another.
The gate of Cuifangyuan soon appeared in the distance. Lin An looked at the security room with lights not far away, and slowly slowed down.His eyes kept wandering on the parking space in front of him, as if he was searching for something, but he didn't see the familiar silver-gray car figure in his memory until he reached the gate of the community illuminated by the wall lamp.
The door of the security room was closed tightly, and Xu, the usually enthusiastic security master, went to eat, leaving only a bright and dazzling incandescent lamp and a few evening newspapers piled up on the table.Lin An habitually glanced inside a few times, then turned his head to look at the green road a few meters away, and lowered his eyes in disappointment.
He stood on the quiet sidewalk for a while, silently calming down the disappointment in his heart and the disordered heartbeat before, and then he took out his mobile phone from his pocket to find out the other party's number, but at the moment he was about to dial, suddenly Ran heard a clear whistle coming from behind.
Lin An was stunned for a moment, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and immediately followed the whistle across his mind strangely.He turned his head reflexively and looked in the direction of the voice behind him.
Under the dim light that was mostly blocked by mottled tree shadows, a familiar figure was leaning casually under a certain osmanthus tree. Seeing that he had turned his head, he put down his arms around his chest, and then Standing up a little bit, he blew a short whistle at him again, and after finishing blowing, he slightly curled the corners of his lips at him who was already stunned, and showed a slight smile.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin An froze for a moment, and froze in place.
Under the dimly lit street lights, Xu Xin was simply wearing a white shirt, and seemed to be holding an unlit cigarette in his hand.
The night wind blows, and the looming cinnamon floats in the cool air.
Lin An also smiled at the opposite side, and couldn't help but think of those countless summer nights, that person usually dressed like this, sometimes it was a white undershirt, sometimes it might be a white shirt, he wore them, always or Squatting, or standing, or leaning against a certain corner, or under a certain tree, waiting for myself whose movements are always half a beat behind.While waiting, there would often be one or two clear and loud whistles not far away.
Just like this moment.
Lin An slowly walked towards the man standing under the shadow of many trees.Xu Xin watched him approach, smiled, put the cigarette he had just taken out back into the cigarette case, then looked in the direction he came from, and asked, "Why so fast?"
Lin Anwu came back to his senses, and lowered his gaze a little shyly.
Under the blurred light, there seemed to be insects flying around. Xu Xin stretched out his hand and pulled the other party to his side, and asked, "What were you looking for just now?" Lin An glanced at the other party's palm on his arm, and replied: "...No, I didn't see your car..."
Xu Xin smiled and explained: "The entrance was full, and I couldn't find a space, so I parked outside the supermarket next door."
Lin An looked at the other's hand clasped on his forearm all the time, and didn't respond.
Xu Xin noticed his gaze, and followed his gaze to look at the shoulders and arms of the two of them next to each other. When he saw that he was still holding the other's palm, he smiled, but he did not let go, but followed the trend. She moved down and gently held his palm.
Lin An was obviously stunned, and immediately raised his head to look at the other party.
Xu Xin looked directly at him, with a little strength in his hands, the temperature in his palms was conveyed more clearly and closely, "It's still early, let's go for a walk together?"
Lin An nodded.
Xu Xin pulled him out from under the dimly lit tree, and he didn't let go until the side of the wide road, put it back in his trouser pocket, and walked leisurely towards the opposite direction of Qingyun Road.Lin An walked beside him, shoulders and arms touching, couldn't help turning his head to look at him from time to time.Xu Xin felt it, turned around and asked with a smile, "What are you looking at?"
Lin An blushed, turned back his eyes nervously, and moved his body involuntarily to the other side, but as soon as his feet were staggered, he was hooked by the other side's shoulders and brought back.
"Go inside, be careful." A deep voice rang next to his ears.
Lin An's face became hotter for a moment.
Occasionally, pedestrians passed by on the boulevard, and they turned their heads curiously to look at the two people who behaved intimately. Lin An shyly avoided, but did not make any other gestures of rejection.
Along the way, the evening wind blew by, and vehicles of all sizes kept coming and going. The two walked side by side on the tiled path covered with fallen leaves, walking and chatting casually. After more than ten minutes, they were facing each other. Lin An, who was always sensitive and tense, gradually relaxed.
While walking, the two came across the open park on Wanlin Road that they passed together last week.Xu Xin stopped, looked at the various vehicles parked at the door, and the pedestrians passing in and out, and said with a smile, "Go for a walk?"
Lin An nodded, remembering the other party's invitation to stand outside the wall last week, he couldn't help but also laughed.
The two entered through a small door on one side, avoiding the loud music in the square and the crowded playground, and went straight to the most secluded bamboo forest and promenade stone bridge for a stroll.
And as the two walked deeper and deeper, the noise in the city just now became farther and farther away. Gradually, as if they had strayed into a land of no one, only the occasional chirping of insects in the bushes remained, and the two Conversational whispers rang out from time to time.
This park is indeed as Xu Xin introduced earlier, it is extremely exquisitely constructed, with mountains, rivers, towers, winding paths and corridors, although most of them are artificial landscaping, but the place where it should be noisy is lively, and the place where it should be silent is extraordinarily quiet.
Both of them came here for the first time, they were very unfamiliar with the whole environment, and they knew little about the road ahead, so from the beginning to the end, they only chatted and walked leisurely according to the guidance of the lights along the way.And Lin An's originally tense mood completely relaxed on the high and low stone road at this time, and even in front of Xu Xin's occasional teasing, he no longer seemed too flustered.
He also began to boldly try to respond like every time the other party cared and greeted him during the three days when the two were separated, such as asking about the other party's work and schedule in the past few days, or asking about the other party's health and fitness. Housing.Xu Xin answered all of them, and even added a few more sentences after answering.
Lin An listened very carefully.What the other party said was exactly what he hadn't been involved in for more than ten years, and it was also what he was most eager to understand and know for so many days.
The moonlight leaked into this small square through the branches above their heads. The two chatted all the way along the stone path, and finally stopped at an arch under the promenade. He took out the cigarette case from his pocket.
Lin An's eyes moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, Xu Xin saw it, smiled and then put it back.When it was over, he sighed slightly and said, "I can't quit for a while."
Lin An was a little embarrassed by his serious expression. He dodged a little and withdrew his overly focused and hot eyes on the other party, and said softly: "No, it's okay..." After a pause, he couldn't help but raise his head again. Looking at the other party again, he said a little shyly: "Take your time."
Now it was Xu Xin's turn to bear it no longer. He smiled and looked at the face of the other party who was obviously in a state of confusion but pretended to be calm. Suddenly, he felt joking again, but he didn't expect that just as he raised his hand, two figures suddenly rushed out from the side road. , a man and a woman, laughing and playing, came from far away, looking like a young couple,
I saw the girl trotting in front, turning her head from time to time, laughing and blaming something, the boy chased after him in a funny and helpless way, constantly reminding: "Hey, don't run, don't run, be careful!"There are many rocks here, don't fall.
The aisle is narrow, and if someone passes by in a hurry, there must be one party to avoid.
Lin An looked at them with a smile, and wanted to back away from the door opening, but didn't want to be suddenly taken by a force in front of him as soon as he moved.
The laughter of the young couple quickly disappeared on the other side of the road.In the dim light, Xu Xin half-circled him in his arms, and did not let go for a long time.
The scorching temperature spread from this sudden hug to the entire chest, and it seemed to be ironed together with the cool autumn wind around him.
Neither of them spoke for a moment.Xu Xin's breathing is close at hand, and his steady breath is like flowing water on the reef, slowly flowing over every inch of skin texture he can touch.
Lin An's back was straight, his hands and feet were stiff, and under extreme shyness and tension, the temperature on his face rose uncontrollably.He didn't dare to move at all, and after a long time, he felt a slight vibration in the chest clinging to him, as if someone couldn't help laughing.
Xu Xin's voice rang next to his ears.
He suddenly asked: "Are you afraid?"
Lin An was taken aback.
The opponent's arm tightened even more, and after two seconds, he released it, staring at him tenderly.
Lin An was slightly taken aback, not knowing how to answer.Xu Xin looked at him for a while, then looked back with a smile, turned his head to look at the darkening sky, and said, "It's getting late, shall we go back?"
Lin An nodded, "Okay."
So the two turned back the same way.
The two still walked side by side along the way, but there was no overly intimate behavior. Except for a few sections of the path that turned from light to dark, Xu Xin would subconsciously hold each other's arms or hands. Just like ordinary friends, you can move forward as usual in the crowd.
Xu Xin continued to tell him some interesting things that happened around him in recent years, especially when talking about Ding Hua, his tone could not stop crying and laughing and helpless.Lin An sometimes lags behind by a step or two, looking at the tall and straight figure of the other party under the sultry night, his thoughts stay on the question asked by the other party more than ten minutes ago.
Are you scared?He didn't know what the meaning behind the other party's question was, and he felt a little ignorant and confused about the specific object referred to by the word "fear".However, there always seems to be an indistinct voice in my heart, constantly struggling to jump up, trying to uncover the answer covered by the fog.
Xu Xin was still talking about all kinds of embarrassing things about Ding Hua in recent years, when he turned his eyes by chance, he found that Ding Hua looked distracted, so he couldn't help but stop and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Lin An came back to his senses, and smiled awkwardly, "...it's nothing." After a pause, he asked again, "Where did you just... say? I, I didn't hear clearly."
Xu Xin smiled slightly, and said softly: "I said that Xiao Ding got a new nickname recently, I want you to guess what it is?"
Lin An restrained his mind, lowered his eyelids and thought about it seriously, then shook his head.
Ding Hua has a bright personality and a witty conversation. Although he has a bit of a temper, he is very loyal. Just change it at intervals.He doesn't care either, everyone is happy to respond, no matter how vulgar or ugly the nickname is, he will accept it from anyone who comes.
And Ding Hua's nickname is mostly inseparable from his "brilliant deeds" at that time.For example, for a while, he stole chickens from the Director’s house so badly that he was dubbed “Brother Chicken” by the brothers in the workshop. The fact that he was chased all the way by his master with his bare butt was exposed, and that nickname changed again, becoming "Guardi".
Lin An recalled this, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Xu Xin turned around and leaned against a tree casually, revealing the answer: "Call Manager Shan."
Lin An was startled, "Why? Isn't his surname Ding?"
Xu Xin looked quite helpless, and replied after a smile: "I usually fall asleep during a meeting in the department, but I am only energetic when I ask him to approve the funding list." I don't know if I didn't wake up, but I signed my name as Shan Hua, and when it was passed on afterwards, no one in the company remembered his surname Ding."
Following his description, Lin An imagined Ding Hua's embarrassment at that time, and then laughed.
After Xu Xin finished speaking, he was silent for two seconds, raised his eyes to look at the gate of Cuifangyuan not far away, and said in a low voice: "It's almost nine o'clock." After a short pause, his eyes fell back to Lin An On the body, smiled and said: "Go back to rest first? There is still class tomorrow. You should also prepare for the open day on Saturday? It won't affect you in the next few days. I will come to you after the event is over."
Lin An was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but before he could react, he said the words to persuade him.
"No, it's okay..."
"Huh?" Xu News said with a smile in his eyes.
Lin An's whole body became hot all of a sudden, and his gaze became wandering all of a sudden.But the reluctance in his heart was so clear that he couldn't suppress it no matter what, so he pursed his lips slightly, finally raised his face, gathered enough courage and strength to continue to say to the other party: "It's okay." After speaking, his eyes flashed slightly , the voice is getting lower and lower, "It's...not very busy..."
Before the words were finished, Xu Xin couldn't help laughing out loud. He pulled the red-faced tomato-like man in front of him closer, and then quickly kissed the man's slightly parted lips.
There are cars passing by constantly on the road, but there are not many pedestrians. In addition, the lights are blurred and the moon shadows are mottled. No one has noticed that such a scorching heat is quietly brewing and born in this dim corner.
The attached temperature is fleeting.Xu Xinshou still landed on the opponent's shoulder, and replied in a low voice: "Okay, see you tomorrow."
Lin An's face was completely red, he just nodded his head in a daze when he heard the words, and replied in a voice like a mosquito gnat: "Yes."
Seeing this, Xu Xin smiled again, looked directly at him, and after a short pause, he seemed to explain: "Xu Yuan sent three text messages in a row early this morning, complaining that I didn't go back for a few days, regardless of her life or death. , and said that if you don’t go back and sign for her, the good image you have created in front of you will be destroyed.”
Lin An smiled, but as soon as he thought of the other person's face that rolled his eyes to the back of his head when he saw him in class in the morning, and the question he suddenly asked about his relationship with Xu Xin, his face couldn't help but change. It got a little hotter.
He couldn't help raising his eyes to look at the other party. Xu Xin was looking at him with a smile. Seeing him looking up, he straightened his back and said warmly: "Okay, the wind is getting stronger and stronger. Go back quickly. I'll go next door to pick up the car."
Lin An nodded.
The two parted at the gate of Cuifangyuan. Lin An stood outside the gate guard, and waited until he could no longer see each other before turning around and entering the community.
Because of the promise before parting, every minute and every second spent alone seemed to be filled with an indescribable warmth.Lin An deeply remembered every word Xu Xin said tonight and every trifle he narrated, and these words automatically merged into pictures in his mind, vivid and three-dimensional.He can feel that the distance between the two is rapidly approaching because of this vividness. He is obsessed with learning more about each other's past, and he is also eager to listen to the past that the other party has never revealed to him. What is exciting and exciting is the coming, every day that belongs to them.
Lin An didn't know how long this dream-like day would last, and he didn't want to make too many plans and assumptions about the illusory future. He only knew that the other party was indeed waiting at the gate of Cuifangyuan on Tuesday evening as promised , and every day after that, I can see the figure of the other party waiting in the sunset after a tense and tiring work.They ate, chatted, and walked together, just like in the steel factory they met when they were young, but it was completely different from that time, hugging, lingering, and intimacy.
Saturday came soon, and Lin An rushed to school early that day, but he didn't want to hear Xu Yuan calling him not far away, "Mr. Lin, good morning!"
He turned his head to look, and saw that the little girl was dressed very formally today, with a ponytail thrown behind her head, and she was in high spirits.He responded with a smile: "Morning." Then he looked behind her.Sure enough, the next moment, Xu Xin got out of the car, and the two eyes met in the air, and they smiled silently at each other.
"Why are you here so early?" He looked at the other party and asked.Standing between the two of them, Xu Yuan thought that Lin An was asking herself, rolled her eyelids and said in dissatisfaction: "It's not my uncle, I've been urging him early in the morning, and I don't know why I'm in such a hurry. I’ve never seen him be so active at that time.”
Lin An smiled, and quietly glanced at the person complained about.Xu Xin didn't say anything, but just called out in a low voice: "Xu Yuan." The little girl pouted immediately, winked at Lin An and said, "He's the one who is serious."
Lin An couldn't help laughing again.
Xu Yuan secretly observed the reactions of the two of them. Although she was not sure about the specific friendship between the two of them, for some reason, the teacher Lin in front of her, who was gentle in everything she did, gave her an indescribable sense of security. Especially in front of Xu Xin.And the facts did prove that her inexplicable intuition was correct.Normally, she would never dare to "spout wild words" in front of Xu Xin in such an unruly manner, but you see now, she made complaints from left to right and complained from right to left, and she didn't say anything. Except for her name, she didn't even fart.This can't help but make her more certain that she, the head teacher who has known her for less than three months, has a very close relationship with her uncle.
Sure enough, in the next second, Xu Xin asked Lin An in a gentle voice she had never heard before: "Have you had breakfast?"
The other party smiled, "Well, I cooked some porridge in the morning."
After hearing this, Xu Yuan couldn't help but rolled her eyes in her heart, and then took a sip of the soy milk in her hand viciously: She said, why when she went down halfway to buy zongzi, her uncle asked her to buy an extra one. You're waiting here, but unfortunately, they don't give you the chance to be courteous at all.
The three of them walked towards the teaching building together, and arrived at the door of class 7 after a while.Xu Yuan took her schoolbag and sat down spontaneously in her seat, while Lin An led Xu Xin to the area in the back row specially arranged for parents to sit, and hesitated about dozens of seats.Xu Xin stood behind him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin An smiled and explained: "Originally, the seats were planned to be arranged according to the list when the squad leader arrived, but you..."
Xu Xin understood, smiled and continued, "Are you early?"
"En." Lin An nodded, "But it's okay, and it's not a hard and fast rule." After speaking, he turned to look at him, and asked a little shyly, "...Where do you want to sit?"
Xu Xin took advantage of the opportunity and took a seat at the corner of the back door, and said, "Whatever you want." Then he raised his head and smiled, "It's fine if I can see you clearly."
Lin An's face became uncontrollably hot again, he coughed in a concealed manner, and said softly: "Then, you wait here for a while, about 10 minutes later, students and their parents will start to arrive at class one after another... I'm going back to the office to prepare something."
Xu Yuan arranged the desks neatly for the first time, and then quietly paid attention to the movement at the back door. Seeing Lin An leaving at this moment, she couldn't help but shouted in Xu Xin's direction: "Hey, uncle."
Xu Xin looked at her, only to see that the other party gave him a sly smile, winked at the place where Lin An disappeared, and said, "You still don't admit it?" He snorted and hummed: "You guys know each other obviously." As he spoke, he leaned against the back table, and said with a little pride, "It seems that you are quite familiar."
Xu Xin glanced at her and said nothing.Seeing that he didn't deny it, Xu Yuan immediately pretended to be aggrieved, and muttered: "It's so mysterious...you actually lied to me together with Brother Ding, why? I'm afraid I will know that there is no law."
Xu Xin still didn't talk to her, just looked at her with a half-smile. After a few seconds, he turned his eyes away and replied lightly: "Read your book carefully."
After a quarter past seven, a large number of students and their parents began to gather at the gates of each class. The class leader assisted Lin An, who had returned, to arrange seats and other matters in an orderly manner. Seeing the voices of greeting and asking each other, there were students whispering among each other in front of them.In the chaos, a few girls who were near the back door began to point at Xu Xin, turning their heads and looking behind.There were a few curious ones who inevitably started talking after following the guide.
"Hey, whose parent is that handsome guy? He looks so young."
"I don't know... Hehe, I'm interested. If you are interested, you can ask Mr. Lin after school."
"Don't talk nonsense. Hey, keep your voice down, he seems to have noticed."
Xu Yuan heard it faintly, and couldn't help but rolled her eyes secretly, but she couldn't help but also turned her head and looked at the source of the nympho, she didn't expect that it didn't matter if she didn't look at it, this look almost scared her out of her wits ——I saw that her uncle, who was always serious and unsmiling, was caught by some evil at this time, and he was smiling in a certain direction with the corners of his mouth curled up, and there was an indescribable "tenderness and sweetness" in that smile ".
Xu Yuan couldn't help shaking, and immediately followed that gaze to look forward. The next second, Lin An was talking softly with other parents while facing the window sill.
Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the two of them thoughtfully. For some reason, the scene that Ding Hua told her about the "college students" who mixed with them suddenly flashed back in her mind. At the same time, he carefully recalled the other party's reaction when he heard the red leather cigarette case kept by her uncle when he was in Lin An's office last week, and then contacted the familiar interaction between the two that he had witnessed with his own eyes at this moment. With a flash of inspiration, a very bold speculation came to my mind: let me go, the cultural person "Xiao Lin" that Brother Ding mentioned is hanging around her uncle's ass all day, could it be the teacher Lin in front of me...
As soon as this thought appeared, another thought followed: No wonder... No wonder her uncle has been more diligent in signing her home school booklet this semester, and he is more careful about her small actions at school than before. Fingering the palm, it's like having the eyes of the sky.Dare to have placed an "undercover agent" beside her!
With this inference, Xu Yuan spent the whole morning subconsciously looking for clues to prove her guess, and the result did not disappoint her.
I don't know if it's because I have a conclusion in my heart, so I look at everything with a bias, so even if Lin An's eyes accidentally glanced towards the back door during the lecture, or his eyes stopped at the back door for a while, Xu Yuan felt that the other party's eyes most likely had something to do with her uncle.
if not?Apart from Xu Xin, there was no other person staying in the field by the back door.
Xu Yuan suddenly thought a little angrily.
And at noon, the performance of the two of them directly confirmed her conjecture.
Because the school also arranged some other interactive projects in the afternoon, when the last math class in the morning was over, Lin An came in to inform about the lunch. The canteen was specially opened for free meals for everyone. Of course, if you want to take your children out to eat, you just need to come back before the afternoon activities.
So Xu Yuan watched Xu Xin walk to the podium after Lin Anzai announced the news, and asked with a smile, "How do you arrange it at noon?"
Lin An glanced at him, and was still sorting out the feedback form of the parents who had just received the class, and shyly said: "I will go to the cafeteria to eat with the students in the class. There are so many people today, so I should look at it more Don't worry, and... if any parents want to talk to me about their children, it will be more convenient, after all, they will be divided into subjects soon." Then he looked at Xu Yuan who was following Xu Xin, and asked with a smile: "You guys What? Are you planning to go out or..."
Xu Yuan patted Xu Xin on the shoulder, and quickly said with a smile, "Uncle, it just so happens that there is a new stone barbeque near our school, why don't we..." But he didn't want to be interrupted mercilessly by the other party before he finished speaking.
"We are with you."
Lin An stopped moving his hands, looked at Xu Yuan's instantly sad expression, and couldn't help but smile.
After more than ten minutes, the three of them walked into the large cafeteria on the first floor together, and most of the students and parents had already taken their seats in the pre-divided areas.Lin An found the location of class 7, ordered some food, picked an empty seat at random, and sat down with Xu Xin and Xu Yuan.Sure enough, there were many parents who came to say hello to Lin An and ask for advice on future subjects. Lin An patiently replied one by one, causing the meal to last for almost an hour before it was over.Xu Xin always sat across from each other without saying a word, not showing the slightest impatience, and even found that the food on the other party's plate was cold, stood up quietly and ordered another meal and hot soup for the other party .
Xu Yuan's jaw almost dropped from her uncle's enthusiasm and thoughtfulness.
As time passed by, there were fewer and fewer people in the cafeteria, and most of the people left were the parents of the students in each class who were still communicating with the class teacher or the teacher.Xu Yuan pretended to be concentrating on playing with her mobile phone with her head down, and she also stayed on her seat. She was really curious, and wanted to see how many jaw-dropping things her uncle could do today.
The result naturally did not disappoint her.
In the afternoon, according to the original plan of the open day, X Middle School gathered all the students in the second year of high school and the parents who stayed in the afternoon to the gymnasium. The big and small achievements in the past few months.Xu Yuan has always been not interested in this kind of "commendation meeting" like a foot wrap, so she yawned and drowsy after hearing it.So when her name was read loudly from the microphone, she trembled all over and almost fell off the chair, thinking that this commendation meeting was open and turned into a criticism/fighting meeting, otherwise why would she appear suddenly? Yuan's name?But after listening carefully, I discovered that what was being announced on the stage was the shortlist for the "Nursing Cup" composition competition.
Xu Yuan was a little surprised. She didn't expect that a nonsense article she handed in on Tuesday would actually be selected. You know, this was the first time she had been associated with the word "excellent" since she graduated from kindergarten.And obviously, she was not the only one who was surprised. There were dozens of pairs of eyes in her class, and even those in other classes who had admired her notoriety for a long time turned their faces to look at her together.Those eyes all reveal incredible, one by one, like looking at a diorama.
Xu Yuan made up her mind, straightened her back a little weakly, then glanced at Xu Xin who was sitting beside her with lingering fear, and began to plan in her heart to go back to ask for a reward, but she didn't expect that as soon as she turned her head, she found that the other party was facing him. He looked at a place not far ahead and smiled slightly.
She rolled her eyeballs a little, and immediately based on the experience she had observed in the morning, she looked at the seat where Lin An was sitting in the first two rows with incomparable precision. As expected, the same smile immediately came into her sight.
For the rest of the time, Xu Yuan felt like a scout. Whenever there was any trouble, she would be inexplicably excited and excited, so that even in the game interaction session, which was the most lazy and dismissive in the past, she also behaved uncharacteristically. He showed great interest—only because the focus of this session is not the students, but the parents and teachers of various subjects who came from afar.
Xu Yuan didn't know what kind of mentality it was, she paid close attention to Lin An's movements the whole time, and whenever she saw the right opportunity, she thought of a way to bring the other party and Xu Xin together, and she wanted to get involved in any game , back-to-back, side-by-side, two-on-three-legged, and even the most sneering ball jump relay in the past, she rushed to the forefront with high spirits.
Lin An couldn't help laughing and crying at her unusually positive performance. It wasn't because she didn't want to participate in these interactions, but because Xu Yuan, no matter which activity team she got into, would yell at him with all her might. : "Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, here and here, let's compare this item!"
In the whole gymnasium, she is the one with the most spirit and the most righteousness. Other students, even the most difficult to control two-faced prickly head, will have to do so because of the special situation where parents and teachers gather together. She restrained herself a bit, not to mention changing her appearance, she still knew how to pretend to be cute and reserved, but Xu Yuan alone was still going straight and rampant, shouting loudly, and half of the people had to pay attention to her.
After a few helpless refusals, Chen Jianliang, who was standing aside, couldn't help being happy, and asked him with a smile: "Mr. Lin, it's rare that it's so lively, why don't you come in and play two rounds with your classmates?" He said and watched Dozens of other teachers in the Two Eyes Hall who had been dragged into the battle of each class pushed their glasses and laughed out loud: "Oh, look, Lao Jiang's old legs are quite powerful, haha, he snatched another one!"

Class 7 cooperated and let out a burst of boos.
As Chen Jianliang said, he turned his head to Lin An, joined in the fun and invited with a smile: "Mr. Lin, why don't we get together? It's rare to relax."
Unexpectedly, before the words were finished, another voice suddenly appeared behind the two of them, "I'm coming." It was deep and gentle, but it revealed an undeniable firmness.Chen Jianliang looked back in surprise, only to see that standing behind him was Xu Xin who had walked down from the stands at some point.
In the next 40 minutes, Xu Xin and Lin An were firmly bound together as Xu Yuan wished. No, to be more precise, it should be her uncle who forcibly tied each other to herself, and Lin An An Ye did not refuse to resist the whole process, so everyone watched
