Confluence

As soon as He Cheng left, Zhang Shuchen also moved back to his own room.

Packing up and ushering in a new week, the relationship between the two of them has not changed significantly from before.That impulsive morning with an ambiguous atmosphere seemed like a bizarre dream, and neither side consciously mentioned it again.

The weather was getting colder and colder. Mama Wang wove scarves for Wang Zheng and Zhang Shuchen, packaged them and sent them. One was gray and the other was red. Zhang Shuchen was embarrassed to accept it, but Wang Zheng and Mama Wang pulled him into the country together during the video. Mother Wang smiled and asked them to try whether it was warm or not. Wang Zheng snatched away the gray one first. Zhang Shuchen couldn't bear to disappoint the elders, so he just smiled dryly and wrapped the red scarf around it.

Wang Zheng was originally thinking of joking, but Zhang Shuchen was unexpectedly suitable for red. Not only did he look good, but the red color made him look even better than usual, and he looked very gentle when he smiled. A proper Liangmin, Wang Zheng looked at Looking at his side face, I felt a bit ironed in my heart.

Ms. Wang liked it very much when she saw it, and she said it looked good on it.

On the second day after Zhang Shuchen accepted it, the temperature dropped by four or five degrees. The demeanor is not as important as the temperature.

Wang Zheng knew that Zhang Shuchen cherished this scarf very much. When he returned to the apartment after get off work, he took it off and folded it up.After Wang Zheng noticed this, every time he saw it, he would feel an inexplicable joy and pride in his heart.

So when he came back from work that day and saw a big boy wearing a red scarf standing downstairs, he subconsciously paid attention to this person.

The other party was not very tall, about a head shorter than Wang Zheng. The light-colored windbreaker seemed to be a lot bigger, making him look thin. The red scarf covered his face and neck below the tip of his red nose, and his face was pale. , but the water vapor in the bright black eyes behind the lens is obvious, and the corners of the eyes are also red. The whole person is like a little white rabbit in a cage. It looks small and pitiful, which is very suitable for someone's usual taste.

Wang Zheng glanced at him twice, shifting his focus from his half-blocked face to the festive scarf.

Although the red scarves are the same all over the world, there are at least 800 million people wearing red scarves in the whole country a year, but Wang Zheng's intuition insisted on telling him: this one has a sense of familiarity...

Wang Zheng had an idea in his mind, but he quickly vetoed it.

It shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?he thinks.

The big boy seemed to have noticed that the man beside him was watching him. He swept his eyes towards Wang Zheng, and then carefully moved two steps to the side to distance himself from Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng: "..."

Before the person who was regarded as a pervert had time to react, footsteps gradually sounded in the corridor, and a man came out with two books: "Why are you waiting outside? It should be warmer in the building."

Wang Zheng immediately looked in the direction of the man's neck. The first thing he saw was the skin, and the red accessories were gone.

"Teacher." The big boy went up to meet him, speaking in a nasal voice, "It's okay, it's only a few minutes."

"Don't make fun of your body, take the book, remember to take a hot bath immediately when you go back, and sleep well tonight..." After Zhang Shuchen instructed, he found Wang Zheng, who had been watching them all the time, and raised his chin to greet him ,"get off work?"

"Ah..." Wang Zheng nodded.

Zhang Shuchen said: "That's just right, you go back and help me wash the vegetables and put them to filter the water, and I will send my students out."

Wang Zheng responded blankly.

Zhang Shuchen raised his hand and patted the boy's shoulder lightly, then turned to him and said, "Let's go, be careful not to hail a taxi during peak hours."

Wang Zheng stood there and watched them go away, and then he went upstairs obediently.

Zhang Shuchen must have come back in a hurry, Wang Zheng saw a bag of vegetables next to the shoe cabinet when he entered the door.

For the three heavy bags, Wang Zheng left the door open, carried them into the kitchen, checked the types, and knew roughly what the dinner was for tonight, so he started to take care of it.

Wang Zheng didn't know how to cook like Zhang Shuchen, but he wasn't ignorant of everything. It was more than enough for him to help or make a few simple stir-fries.

I don't know how long it will take to deliver the medicine, so why don't you help me cut it first? First, he cut the eggplant crosswise and put it aside, washed and peeled the potatoes. When the potatoes were shredded and cut in half, a message came from the door. There was a loud noise, Zhang Shuchen pushed the door open and came in.

Hearing the commotion in the kitchen, Zhang Shuchen changed his shoes and said, "I'm back."

Wang Zheng said "Hmm", indicating that he heard it.

"It's too troublesome to take a taxi during peak hours. I waited for a while to stop one," Zhang Shuchen sighed, walked into the kitchen and saw the shredded potatoes on the cutting board, and was stunned for a moment, "You..."

Wang Zheng stopped his saber, feeling a little bit of anticipation for Zhang Shuchen's unspoken words.

I deserve a compliment anyway, he thought.

Zhang Shuchen hesitated for a moment and asked him, "Why do you shred potatoes?"

Wang Zheng was dumbfounded.

"...No, what else?"

"Do you want fried shredded potatoes?"

"No... Didn't you buy this?"

"Me? I'm planning to make roasted eggplant with potatoes."

"..."

Self-defeating, Wang Zheng held the knife and looked at the slender strip on the chopping board with a heavy face.

Zhang Shuchen raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said in relief: "It's okay, eggplants and potatoes are cooked separately, and there is an extra dish tonight! Don't stop and continue cutting. I'll come back after changing clothes."

Originally, four dishes and one soup became five dishes and one soup, which was a little richer.As if to praise Wang Zheng's hands-on spirit, Zhang Shuchen made a sauced eggplant, and specially folded a celery tip and placed it on top for decoration.

Wang Zheng came out with two bowls of rice, and couldn't help laughing when he saw it. The two sat down and began to eat.

Wang Zheng picked up a chopstick of shredded potatoes with a shredded red pepper mixed in, which reminded him of the red scarf wrapped around the boy's neck.

"Hey, Zhang Shuchen," Wang Zhengdao, "is that your new student today?"

Zhang Shuchen nodded: "Yes, her name is Long Hao. She is the complete opposite of that crazy girl Yan Xiaolu. This kid is two years younger than the average person. She is very shy. She didn't notice it during the interview. When she saw me on the first day, her voice trembled." Well, the head is good, the mouth is very stupid, three sticks can't hit a fart..."

"Hey, that's it..." Wang Zheng took a mouthful of rice and said vaguely, "You two students are really interesting..."

"It's really not enough to just look at the face," Zhang Shuchen shook his head and sighed, and then said to Wang Zhengdao, "By the way, don't try to think about Long Hao, his father is the secretary of our school. If you provoke him, you will be punished if you find out on my head."

Wang Zheng asked, "How did you know that I would hit him?"

Zhang Shuchen gave him a white look: "You are such a handsome little boy, you think I don't know? Let me take care of the lower body."

Wang Zheng paused, and said seriously, "I've changed my taste."

Zhang Shuchen looked up at him, and laughed: "You said this when you were dumped by that bartender before, and then you saw your client, and then your intern..."

"Fuck, stop it!" Wang Zheng interrupted him hastily, "It's no fun to turn over old scores!"

Zhang Shuchen raised his eyebrows, "tsk tsk" a few times, jokingly sighed: "The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change—"

"Hey!" Wang Zheng also laughed, "But what I clearly saw was that when Mr. Zhang came down, how many degrees did his eyes light up..."

Hearing this, Zhang Shuchen almost couldn't stop laughing: "You still say it! What are you looking at him for? When I sent him out, he still told me: 'Teacher, that person has been looking at me just now.'—— How scared are the human children!"

Wang Zheng coughed and blushed: "I'm not, I think his scarf looks familiar... Hey, is that yours?"

"It's mine," Zhang Shuchen scooped up a bowl of winter melon soup, "Long Hao fell into the pond today."

"This is all right? How did such a big person fall in?"

"Catching up with the college activities on the undergraduate side, thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge—you know the design of our wooden bridge, and there is an iron chain on the fence on one side to protect people. He was bumped and slipped in. Fortunately, he was fine, but his clothes were soaked. In such a cold day, it was miserable, and his little face was completely pale. His outer coat was borrowed by another teacher in the office. I I just lent him my scarf, and it will be returned to me in two days."

Wang Zheng was in a good mood, and couldn't help but smirk: "I thought it was your token of love!" Before Zhang Shuchen got angry, he asked quickly, "Then what are you hanging around recently? Do you want me to lend mine to you?" you?"

"...Okay, if you don't need it."

"Then call 'Brother Wang' to listen to it first. If you call well, you can borrow it, and there is no time limit for returning it."

"Get out of here!"

Zhang Shuchen didn't say those two words in the end, and Wang Zheng generously lent him the scarf.

The scarf of this color also goes well with Zhang Shuchen. The gray is less childish and approachable than the red, but more mature and rational. The scarf was returned to Zhang Shuchen, and Zhang Shuchen washed and dried the borrowed one and returned it to Wang Zheng that night.

This year's winter was colder earlier than usual, and Wang Zheng also received dinner invitations from his university roommates earlier than last year.

There are eight people in one dormitory of Wangzheng University. We have gotten along well for four years. Even after graduation, we still keep in touch. We can basically get together once a year, and everyone will take turns to host and treat guests.This year it was the turn of the boss in the dormitory. Coincidentally, he switched jobs to an advertising company in this city this year, so this time he invited him to a restaurant in the city center, and the time was set for next weekend.Wang Zheng originally wanted to be a host with the boss this time, but was rejected collectively by the other six people with "Do you want AA to share the expenses equally".

In the blink of an eye, it was next week, and Wang Zheng had greeted Zhang Shuchen a few days earlier that there was no need to prepare his dinner that night.On weekends, he went to get his hair done, and changed into a casual outfit at night, making him look a few years younger. Zhang Shuchen smiled and commented "pretending to be tender" after seeing his tidied up appearance.

The "Splendid Fragrance Garden" at night was extremely lively, the boss reserved a box on the fourth floor, Wang Zheng received a message from the boss, asking him to wait downstairs to pick up his old classmates so that he could bring them up.

While waiting for the six people to come together, Wang Zheng rejected several people's accosts one after another, and the old seven who was the first to see was holding a beer belly and "tsk tsk" in amazement.

Finally everyone arrived, and everyone took the elevator up together. The second child in the elevator asked Wang Zheng: "The fifth child, are you still single?"

Wang Zheng shrugged: "Otherwise?"

The fourth child joked: "Our fifth child is waiting to find Tianxian'er!"

The elevator reached the fourth floor, the door slowly opened, Wang Zheng was the first to go out, following the words of the fourth child: "Yes, my fairy has not fallen from the sky yet!"

"Hey, let me tell you, Fifth, don't set your eyes too high, just go with the right one when you see it, really," Old Liuyu said earnestly, and couldn't stop at the beginning, "My wife is not very beautiful either. Ah, but the first time I saw her, hey, I thought we were right. She had a boyfriend and I wasn't afraid, I could tell right away that the guy didn't care about her at all. , sooner or later they'll score—look how comfortable I am now!"

The fourth child turned around and laughed at him: "It has nothing to do with whether you are suitable or not. You fell in love with him at first sight. You also asked me to write a love letter for you. You have been stalking him for more than two years, and you are ashamed to say this!"

The old sixth was confident: "How sorry! My daughter can go to the street to make soy sauce. This year's Father's Day also gave me a painting, the name is "My Good Dad" - just don't have this, you are all envious Not coming!"

Among the eight people, the sixth child got married the earliest. His daughter Dudu is now five years old. She has a round face and big black eyes. She is so cute. The sixth child often posts videos of her daughter singing and dancing in the group to show off Sometimes, I really envy others.

Seeing that the sixth child was about to show off his daughter, Wang Zheng quickly took up the topic: "Don't just stare at me, don't you plan to get married this year?"

The fourth child said lightly: "It's blown."

Lao Qi sighed: "My girlfriend said that if I can lose [-] catties by the end of the year, she will go home with me to meet my parents and make a deal."

The second child said: "I will get married at the end of the year."

The third child said: "I will get married in February next year."

At the end of the corridor is a private room, a group of people talking and laughing are getting closer and closer.

The second child suddenly asked, "Fifth child, have you looked for someone before?"

"I looked for it, but it didn't work." Wang Zheng seemed to sense the meaning of the second child, "Why? Second child, you are a part-time matchmaker? Don't try to introduce me to cousins!"

Being punctured, the second child clicked his tongue: "Isn't this just right? Relatives far away, let me help you take care of it. I think you are quite suitable."

"Yo, don't," Wang Zhengqian said with a smile, "I know it well!"

"It's been so long since you've been counting?" the second child said, "It's time to have fun. There are people in their thirties. Let's concentrate on finding someone to settle down. It's not too late to start a family and start a business."

Wang Zheng was standing in front of the box door, speechless in his heart, he felt an impulse towards them to confess his sexuality, and suppressed it in an instant.

He pressed the doorknob and opened the door, pretending to be emotional: "I said it, it's not that I don't want to, haven't I met this yet? Besides, it's not long since I broke up with the person I was with before, hey, say It feels uncomfortable... This is still in the lovelorn period, give me a buffer—"

Wang Zheng's voice stopped abruptly.

The room was brightly lit, the round table was neatly covered with dark tablecloths, several stacks of cold dishes and snacks were placed on the glass turntable, and the boss in formal attire was sitting directly opposite the door. He was supposed to be the only one in the box, but there was actually one more person.

The reason why Wang Zheng broke up with the intern was simple: the other party caught a bigger fish in the company.

When Wang Zheng saw for the third time that he and the minister of another department "dropped in" to a certain hotel for supper after working overtime, he immediately broke up with him.When he becomes regular next week, he will indeed follow other departments...

Knowing that this kind of thing cannot be forced, Wang Zheng came to his senses after a brief loss, pulled away quickly and ruthlessly, blackmailed the account, deleted the contact information, and took away a set, which was so skillful that it made people sad.

The other party was quickly beaten by Wang Zheng, but he was reluctant to part with him, and wanted to talk to him several times to explain the reasons for his "last resort", in vain attempt to continue the relationship.It's a pity that Wang Zheng was straightforward and clean, and he was impeccable in avoiding suspicion. Over the past two months, even in the company, he seldom met with him.

However, as the saying goes: "You can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day."

Maybe it was the other party's persistence that moved the sky and blinded the sky.

In his exaggerated and embellished nonsense just now, the prototype of the person who made him "uncomfortable" and was still in the "broken love period" happened to be sitting in the box, sitting next to the boss.
