Fragrance of peaches and plums

The car was parked on a street corner, and the restaurant they were going to was in the alley.

The alley was too narrow, so we had to walk in.The restaurant in that alley is also very small, there are always a few pots of flowers and plants planted by the boss at the entrance, and a wooden sign is erected next to it, with the words "home-cooked food" simply written.That was the place they went to most often after they reunited after graduation.

At that time, it was always tight, and this kind of cheap and humane restaurant in a small corner could easily become a frequent gathering place.Bai Sulei is going to go abroad tomorrow, so I asked the two of them to have a farewell meal today, choosing this place is all about feelings.Wen Xi didn't feel much about these things, he was not a nostalgic person, but he was also very happy to see the restaurant owner again.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, the boss saw them and greeted them loudly: "Come on! Go upstairs, Xiaobai is waiting for you!"

It was a man who couldn't tell the exact age. He had a beard and looked like he was 50 years old, and he was shaved like he was in his 30s. He was always in good spirits, and he rarely looked tired.

Wen Xi approached the door and said hello: "Long time no see."

The boss chuckled: "This is how our place is. When people come, they always come. If they don't come, they will gradually disappear. I'm overjoyed that the three of you can come again after such a long time... Hurry up and go upstairs." , why make the girl wait at home!"

Wen Xi and Zhong Man went upstairs, Bai Sulei sat by the window and waved to them.

The two sat across from her.This is really a pattern that has never been seen before. She looked at her empty bench and felt a little embarrassed.

When the people are all together, the dishes will be served one by one.The three of them had an embarrassing experience and relationship, but Wen Xi was calm and consistent among them, and the atmosphere between them was not bad.We are familiar with each other, and there is no shortage of topics for chatting. This farewell meal was very pleasant.

At the end of the day, they toasted each other and said some polite words of blessing.

At this time, Wen Xi's cell phone rang.He looked down at the screen, a little surprised, then his expression softened, subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth into a smile, said, "Pick up a call", then picked up the phone and left the table.

Bai Sulei kept looking at his back, her eyes were slightly melancholy and sad.

Zhong Man looked at it, sighed softly, and said comfortingly, "You still like him so much, why don't you try to tell him? If you leave like this, you also feel regretful."

Bai Sulei shook her head, looked away, was stunned for a while, then smiled wryly, "It's too late."

"Late? Why?" Zhong Man was puzzled, "You are not married and he is not married, so you don't have to go to the United States."

Bai Sulei looked at Zhong Man, frowned, then turned to look at Wen Xi's back.The figure had already gone downstairs, and only half of his body was seen.She asked Zhong Man uncertainly: "Didn't you realize that there is someone in Wen Xi's heart?"

Zhong Man listened and said "Hey": "How is it possible? It's not that you don't know him. You spend all day in education. He rarely interacts with men and women outside. Where does he come from? Where can he find someone to rest assured?" ……inside……"

Maybe there is.

After speaking, Zhong Man's voice suddenly weakened, and he thought of a person in his mind.But this man was so unbelievable that he suspected he was thinking too much.But things in the world are often like this, the more unreasonable and impossible they feel, the more likely they are real... His thoughts turned back and forth in an instant.

"Who are you thinking of?" Bai Sulei understood his attitude and asked tentatively.

"No one." Zhong Man bowed his hands and recovered, "He just has such a handsome face in vain. He is usually very boring and seldom socializes. It is impossible to have someone in his heart. But it is difficult for him to turn around, it is true. "

Bai Sulei sighed: "I know. So even if I still have a heart for him, I don't want to humiliate myself. It's better to go far away and digest it by myself. I don't believe that I can still miss him across continents and oceans. "

Zhong Man stopped talking, his mind was full of Xia Zhengyu who was always hostile to him.

Previously, I only thought that Xia Zhengyu had a big temper and was very selfish. If he was unhappy, he would give people a look of embarrassment.Now, looking at Xia Zhengyu's performance from a different angle and mood, I realized that everything about a child can be explained by the word "jealous".

It's fine if the child is unilaterally jealous.With Wen Xi's beautiful skin, he is not surprised no matter whether he is attracted by a woman or a man.But in fact, Wen Xi also indulged Xia Zhengyu beyond the ordinary. If you look carefully, one of them is really willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

Could it be that Wen Xi is really interested in that child?

After a while, Wen Xi came up from downstairs after making the phone call, returned to the desk, and said lightly: "The bill is settled, eat up this point, and then almost withdraw."

Zhong Man looked at him, pretending to ask casually: "Who called just now, and you still went all the way to answer it."

"My student." Wen Xi replied.

Zhong Man: "Xia Zhengyu?"

Wen Xi nodded: "Yes."

Zhong Man felt that he had been hit by a real hammer, and his eyes and emotions were complicated.Wen Xi glanced at him, maybe he realized it, maybe he didn't, in short, he didn't intend to talk about the topic of students, so he drank the last glass with Bai Sulei with a carbonated drink.

If you drink this cup, you'll really be gone.

As night falls, the city is shrouded in silence, and secrets and concerns are covered.

The next day was Sunday, Xia Zhengyu woke up early.

He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, not sleepy at all, a certain part of his mood still remained in yesterday, and Wen Xi's chuckling sound seemed to echo in his ears, making his heart burn when he thought about it.

Yesterday, he watched Wen Xi and Zhong Man go to "spend the weekend" and couldn't concentrate on doing their homework when they got home.The closer it gets to dark, the more irritable I become, and all my wild thoughts come out.In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore and called Wen Xi.

Every student has the teacher's number, but he is going to call that number for the first time.

What are you doing calling Wen Xi?He didn't even make up his excuses. Before the call was connected, he was still choosing whether to use his studies as an excuse or his grandma's. After all, Wen Xi sent him and grandma back last time, and it was considered a help. Busy, grandma kept muttering to invite the teacher to come home for dinner.

In the end, Wen Xi himself gave him the opening topic: "What are you doing, are you interrupting my date?"

He froze for a moment, this blunt question hit his intentions, which made people feel ashamed and open, and he was speechless for a moment.

Wenxi smiled softly over there, not mocking, just an ordinary smile.Good to hear.

Can't be cowardly!He encouraged himself again, and just returned: "Yes, I can't see you going out with someone!"

Wen Xi still smiled: "If you don't do your homework well, what are you thinking about? What can I do with a man?"

Xia Zhengyu suddenly stopped.He knew that Wen Xi's words didn't mean to draw a clear direction, but he was too sensitive to this point, and he couldn't help but think in that direction, and replied with a little resentment: "I worked hard at home to do the homework you assigned, and you went out to play with others. , I can't stand it!"

Wen Xi: "Oh, what do you want?"

Xia Zhengyu blurted out: "You can come to my house tomorrow, I... my grandma has always said that she will thank you personally, if you come here, she will definitely make delicious food for you, much more delicious than mine!"

Wen Xi listened and remained silent.Xia Zhengyu was a little apprehensive, but fortunately this phone call was already embarrassing, so he stopped being cowardly and waited quietly for Wen Xi's reply.The result was unexpected, and Wen Xi agreed.

He promised to come to his house on Sunday, which is today.

Xia Zhengyu clutched his chest, his heart was beating extremely violently inside, and the cells in his body screamed accordingly, he couldn't help curling up to suppress the joy.I didn't stay in bed anymore, I got up immediately.In the kitchen, grandma was already busy. He walked over and looked around, looking at the refrigerator and the vegetable basket.

Now grandma is not surprised by his willingness to get up early, and seeing him so active, she immediately sent him: "Go to the morning market to buy some fresh vegetables, and buy half a catty of dumpling wrappers!"

Xia Zhengyu agreed with all his heart, went to wash up immediately, changed his clothes and went out.

He knows the location of the morning market near his home, but he can't come here even once a year or so.This is a paradise for the old men and women who get up early. Come here for a stroll, bargain, and finally buy a few catties of fresh vegetables and go home. It's morning exercise.He got stuck in a bunch of old men and old ladies and happily bought a lot.

Just about to go out, he was suddenly called out: "Xia Zhengyu?"

This sound is so annoying.He reluctantly turned around and faced Lai Peng.Although the two of them had some unhappiness, there was nothing to care about that trivial matter between the elders. The two of them are not falling out now, and he still has to have an attitude.

"Morning, are you coming to your uncle's house?" Lai Peng's uncle lived in the same community as them, and he would come and live here from time to time, and there was a chance meeting in the past.

Lai Peng nodded and walked towards him through the crowd: "Why do you wake up so early on Sunday?"

"My grandma made me do the hard work!" Xia Zhengyu smiled politely, picked up the vegetables in his hand, "I'm about to go back."

Lai Peng looked at it and said, "Me too, let's go together."

Xia Zhengyu was not happy in his heart, and he couldn't care about it, so he silently agreed.

The two left the morning market together and walked towards the community.To maintain this friendship and harmony, even if Xia Zhengyu was at his best, he didn't take the initiative to speak along the way.Surprisingly, Lai Peng didn't do anything to talk about, and his attitude was very polite.

When they arrived in the community, they were in different buildings, and they were about to branch off. Only then did Lai Peng open his mouth and asked a question with a serious expression: "Xia Zhengyu, when did you... decide for yourself? Are you in pain?"

"What?" Xia Zhengyu was puzzled at first, but when he saw Lai Peng's eyes looking over, which contained confusion and entanglement, he understood.

Lai Peng, who once vowed to say "if you like it, dare to do it", is actually just bluffing. He has always been uneasy about his non-mainstream orientation.This may be a stage that everyone who finds that the gender they like is different from mainstream values ​​will encounter it.Some people will struggle at this stage for a long time, while others will quickly think clearly and accept themselves.

Xia Zhengyu considered himself to be the second type of person.Seeing Lai Peng's confused and painful look, his original dislike for him dissipated, and he felt a little sympathy for him.

"It's okay, I think it's useless to think too much, you have to accept yourself." He smiled, "Your original posture, although childish and boring, is annoying, but it's right to be upright. Who do you like, Everyone is entitled to be upright.”

After hearing this, Lai Peng's expression softened a little, and his drooping eyebrows and eyes looked resentfully: "Then why don't you try with me..."

"Don't you know?" Xia Zhengyu spread his hands, "You also helped me spread the scandal, didn't you?"

Lai Peng was startled, and opened his mouth wide: "I just said that to cause trouble for you. How can I have such a powerful intuition... So, do you really like Teacher Wen?"

Xia Zhengyu pursed his lips, with an expression of "what do you think?".Lai Peng sighed unceasingly, muttering to himself that he got it right when he messed up the mandarin ducks, sometimes he was surprised and sometimes disappointed, but Shan was a little happy in the end.Maybe it was because Xia Zhengyu comforted him, or maybe he was stimulated.

"In the future, let's play together like before, okay? You play football very well." Finally, he asked in a gesture of reconciliation.

Xia Zhengyu raised his eyebrows: "Then I'll show you some face. I can come next week."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, it was an end of friendship.
