Fragrance of peaches and plums

This excursion ended in the afternoon of the next day, and Xia Zhengyu fell asleep on the way back.Sitting next to him is Lai Peng.Wen Xi stayed in the front row, and he didn't know whether to sit with Yang Xinxin or Lu Huaiting.

Xia Zhengyu didn't care about any of these.Since the morning, he hasn't talked to anyone other than Lai Peng, and his body is low, and no one dares to approach him easily.

Wen Xi, who dared to approach, tried to communicate with him for a few words, but was blocked by his unhappy expression, and then received an explanation: I am a little tired and want to stay alone.

All right.Wen Xi let him go.

"It's really capricious." Lu Huaiting said with a smile.

Wen Xi glanced at him indifferently, but didn't speak.There was no emotion in those eyes, neither disgust nor anger, looking at him was like looking at the air.

Lu Huaiting's smile lost moisture on his face, making it look ugly.

"Brother." He tugged at the corner of Wenxi's clothes with fawning eyes.

Wen Xi pushed his hand away: "Ting, I said, don't use childish tricks on me." His expression changed, and he moved his lips. Before he could say anything, Wen Xi choked back, " These are not for you and not cute at all."

Lu Huaiting restrained his flattery, and put away his smile: "What do you like about Xia Zhengyu? He's just an ordinary boy. He doesn't have a very good family background, nor is he particularly smart, so he won't be able to help you much in the future."

Wen Xi raised the corners of his mouth very slightly, sending a signal to end the conversation.Lu Huaiting's attack and contempt were suspended in the air, watching Wen Xi leave with a haze in his brows.

On the return journey, he sat silently beside Wen Xi, and Wen Xi didn't intend to talk to him.

The destination of the bus was No. [-] Middle School, but after entering the urban area, students gradually got off the bus.At this moment, Wen Xicai asked him, "Should Uncle Li pick you up?"

"Brother." He seized the opportunity, still showing grievance and pity—he is not someone who would stop doing it just because Wen Xi said he was not suitable for something, "This way is so far from my home, you can't see me off Do you want to go back?"

Wen Xi smiled: "I want to send Xia Zhengyu off."

He was stunned for a moment, because he didn't expect Wen Xi's attitude to be so clear, so upright, and he was a bit unlike the rigorous and self-confident Teacher Wen.But this astonishment was quickly replaced by some kind of secret joy, and the look in Wenxi's eyes also changed accordingly.

"Brother, I admit that I am not suitable for those childish tricks. But when will you admit that you are not suitable for behaved?" There was some uncontrollable excitement on his face, watching Wen Xi's eyes shine , "Teacher Wen's identity can't hold your soul at all."

"Then I'll contact Uncle Li for you. Are you waiting in the mall in front of you while playing, or should you wait with the bus back to school?" Wen Xi continued the previous topic as if he hadn't heard it.

He tilted his head to look at Wen Xi, watched him dial out the phone, and watched him throw him at the shopping mall at the intersection ahead on his own initiative.When the car arrived at the entrance of the shopping mall, he really obediently obeyed.

During this process, he kept staring at Wen Xi.Wen Xi, on the other hand, didn't even look at him.

Four and ten minutes later, he returned to his home.

Their home is located in the bustling commercial center and has a private garden that is quiet amidst the hustle and bustle.When outsiders enter the door, they have to go through manual inquiry by security guards and face recognition by the intelligent system.

The house I lived in was deep in the garden, and it was one of the earliest Western-style buildings in the city that imitated European noble houses.After modern renovation, the original charm and practical convenience are both.

The only disadvantage is that the house is too big and there are too few people in the family.Adding up all the permanent residents and hired workers who come to the house on a regular basis cannot fill the rooms on the first floor.

Every time he stepped into the door, he felt that the house was chilly, and he had to open all the curtains to let the sunlight in.

"Xiao Ting is back?" A woman in a long red dress came downstairs, with exquisite makeup, complete jewelry, and perfume.That was him and Wenxi's mother, Dai Wanqing.

Lu Huaiting took a look at her and judged whether she was going out to socialize or just dressed up for pleasure.It's easy to judge, just look at whether she came downstairs to look at the shoes first, or go to the teahouse first.

She went to the teahouse and asked him with great interest, "What do you want to drink?"

"It's all right." He threw his schoolbag and sat down in the living room.

Not long after, Dai Wanqing came out with a tea tray.She made milk tea for her son and made green tea with antioxidant effect for herself.The mother and son sat opposite each other, neither seeming to be intimate nor distant, very well-balanced.

"Your brother didn't come back with you again?" She asked as if chatting.

"Don't you know that he won't come into our house at all?" Lu Huaiting was inexplicably annoyed by his mother's enthusiasm, and he always used it as a commonplace to talk about things he knew.

"It's one thing to know, but another thing to have expectations." Dai Wanqing smiled, "Mom only has this little expectation, and she must keep it, otherwise, wouldn't it be too cruel to your brother."

That's right.Dear son, it's really chilling not to show any signs of caring.

Lu Huaiting didn't say anything, took two sips of milk tea, then stared into Dai Wanqing's eyes, and said, "My brother is dating his student."

Dai Wanqing listened, nodded, and smiled: "Let's talk about it, as long as he likes it. Teacher-student relationship is very romantic."

"It's a male student." Lu Huaiting added expressionlessly.

Dai Wanqing's smile froze, but her overall expression remained unchanged, and her eyes only flickered slightly.After a while, he sighed, as if regretting: "It will be a bit troublesome in the future, so it's better not to go to the end."

Lu Huaiting said, "That male student used to belong to me."

Hearing this, Dai Wanqing didn't jump up and slap him, nor tried to interfere with him, but smiled, with a look of fun on her face: "So, if you play with him this time, you must have done it!" What disgusts him?"

Is there no better way to know a child than to be a mother?

Lu Huaiting looked from above the cup, felt amused, nodded and said, "Not only is it disgusting, it may also make him lose his job next semester."

Dai Wanqing smiled: "Then your brother must hate you."

"Hmph." He snorted coldly, finished his milk tea, and said, "If you hate it, you hate it. If he no longer loves my little brother completely and sincerely, what do I want his kindness for?"

"Then have you achieved your goal?" Dai Wanqing seemed to see through him.

This made him a little irritable, and his tone was not very good: "What purpose?"

Dai Wanqing said: "Don't you want to provoke him? Let him quarrel with you, or accuse you, even if he feels a sense of crisis because of you, or act impulsively towards his elementary school student... In short, he seems to care about you, so you just Happy, aren't you?"

"Mom!" He suddenly stood up, "What do you mean, even you think I'm mentally ill?"

"How could it be?" Dai Wanqing put down her teacup, stopped smiling, sighed, and said, "Everyone has someone they care about to the extreme. I'm very happy that you care about your brother. But, you can't indulge in this kind of attachment." , trying to monopolize him. It's not good for you."

"I don't want you to care!" Lu Huaiting walked upstairs.

"He doesn't like you like this." Dai Wanqing added lightly.

Lu Huaiting didn't return and walked even faster.

Wen Xi didn't like everything he did on this little trip, and he didn't like the fact that he had concealed the past with Xia Zhengyu before, he knew it better than anyone else.Because Wen Xi was being polite to him.

Since childhood, Wen Xi has been a person with distinct likes and dislikes.Pamper and indulge those you like, and be indifferent and polite to those you don't like.And he was Wen Xi's favorite and doting person.

At that time, facing the kindness and indulgence given by Wen Xi, he was both extravagant and cautious.He was afraid that people would not know that he was the one held in his hands, and he was also afraid that this favor would be taken away suddenly.But it doesn't seem so scary when the moment it is really taken back appears.

That is a process that is not careful enough and not easy to detect.

Wen Xi still smiled at him, still called him tenderly, and would still agree to most of his requests... However, Wen Xi's people no longer came to the house, and they no longer spoke their minds to him.

In this way, he lost his special status with Wen Xi.

Fear and doubt descended for a while, and then were quickly replaced by inquisitiveness and competitiveness—if you want it, you can get it back, and even if you can’t get it back, there will be other ways to dispel the "lost" thing. Come, nasty mood.

At that time, he discovered that he was a person who lacked certain emotions and emotions.Such as soft heart, such as loss, such as reluctance.In his impression, he has never experienced these emotions, and in the situations where they may appear, what he perceives are completely other emotions.

It's like a disability.

And he accepts the crippled self and practices the will of the crippled self.

The bus returned to school, and the students got off one after another.When Xia Zhengyu walked to the front door, Wen Xi was negotiating with the driver about the settlement of this trip. Seeing him, he turned his head and told him softly, "Go down and wait for me, I will go with you."

Xia Zhengyu's heart beat uncontrollably and "popped", the familiar feeling of being teased came out, which made him confused, so he could only answer obediently: "Got it."

Lai Peng and Xia Zhengyu live in the same complex now, and they were supposed to go back together.But when he saw Wen Xi talking to him, he couldn't help but smile all over his face, and he knew that suicide was suitable for occupying his time, so he waved his hand proactively.

"I'll go back to my home today, so I won't go with you. See you tomorrow."

"Oh, see you then." Xia Zhengyu didn't hold back.

"So ruthless..." Lai Peng muttered helplessly, then gave Wen Xi a meaningful look, and said kindly, "Stop making trouble, talk to him if you have something to say, or you'll save until school starts."

Xia Zhengyu chased him away with the back of his hand: "Why did you become such a troublesome person, let's go, let's go quickly!"

As soon as Lai Peng left, another person who had been treated coldly by Xia Zhengyu for a day came over and said with a sneer: "Old Xia...you are not happy with me, a little punishment is enough, don't really keep ignoring me, OK?"

Only when he really asked Xia Zhengyu for something, or when he really felt that he was wrong, would Zhou Shen respectfully call Xia Zhengyu "Old Xia".

After hearing this, Xia Zhengyu turned to face him with no expression on his face: "I'm not happy, what's wrong with you?"

"I didn't go back with you last night, so I stayed over there to gossip about you." Zhou Shen, with an active and sincere appearance, tried to be lenient when he confessed, trying to make up for his mistakes.

"But I also want to see what the students think of your gossip, and what they think of Teacher Wen. Isn't this a matter of your reputation? You're sure you can't hear the truth yourself, so I'll be your mouthpiece!"

Xia Zhengyu said "Oh" and raised his eyebrows: "Then what attitude did you get?"

"Last night, it's okay, we didn't talk much... But I think the girls formed a small group, it must be to gossip about you. You also know that several of them like Wen teacher. I can lurk for you... ..." His voice stopped abruptly, because Wen Xi came down.

Xia Zhengyu turned his head to look at Wenxi, and said to Zhou Shen: "Then you dive, I'll go home first."

"Hey, wait!" Zhou Shen hurriedly grabbed him, turned him around, leaned close to his ear, and asked, "You have to explain to your brother, are you and Teacher Wen okay?"

Xia Zhengyu replied: "Isn't your eyesight 5.0, you can't see?"

Zhou Shen: "..."

He only saw that Wen Xi sent Xia Zhengyu home with special treatment.

Teacher Wen, it was still the mature and stable Teacher Wen, but when he walked with Xia Zhengyu, it seemed that something was different.It seemed that Xia Zhengyu was still the Xia Zhengyu he knew, but he felt strange for no reason.
