Hearing a low "buzzing" sound, Liu Xiaochen woke up.

Opening his eyes, he saw that the bedside table lamp was dimly lit, the surrounding light was still dim, and the environment was unfamiliar. My brain fell into a brief blank. After a moment of reflection, I realized that I was at Teacher Zuo's home at this moment.

Listen carefully, this "buzzing" sound comes from the next room, it's not loud. It's just that Liu Xiaochen suffers from neurasthenia and wakes up immediately at the slightest movement, so he gets used to getting up early.

After waking up, Liu Xiaochen opened his eyes and lay flat on the bed, thinking about today's arrangements.

At 9 o'clock this morning, I accompanied my children to watch Hayao Miyazaki's "Castle in the Sky" in the giant-screen theater of the China Film Museum. At 3 pm, listen to Maxim’s piano recital at the National Center for the Performing Arts.

Who is Hayao Miyazaki? Who is Maxim? We can no longer just passively accept it like yesterday, we should make some preparations in advance.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaochen got up, washed his face and brushed his teeth. Sit at your desk, take a pen and notebook, search for information on your phone, and record it.

After inquiry, we learned that Hayao Miyazaki is a famous Japanese animation master and Maxim is a Croatian pianist. They are famous internationally, and it was the first time Liu Xiaochen heard their names since he was growing up.

Liu Xiaochen is diligent and studious, and often reads. In the small county where she lives, she is considered "erudite and knowledgeable". At this moment, I realize again that I am just a little frog sitting in a well and talking about the vast sky.

The buzzing stopped and Liu Xiaochen also finished sorting out the basic information. Look at the time, 6:25. I'm thirsty and want to go to the restaurant to get a glass of water.

With her hair neatly tied, she picked out a light gray short sweater jacket from the clothes on the bedside and wore it over a white cotton T-shirt. Then she turned on the light of her mobile phone and opened the door to go out.

Liu Xiaochen walked quietly. After taking two steps, the floor lamps and wall lamps in the living room suddenly turned on.

My heart was startled and pounding. I turned around and looked around, but there was no one there. I remembered that when I entered the house last night, the lights in the living room also turned on automatically. Take two deep breaths and continue to the kitchen.

When I arrived at the restaurant, I saw that the transparent kettle on the solid wood dining table contained half a bottle of water. On a square piece of flaxen cotton, there were four gold-rimmed hammered glasses upside down. The cold white light shone quietly, reflecting the colorful light, as beautiful as crystal.

Liu Xiaochen was stunned for a moment.

"Little!"

As he was watching intently, he suddenly heard a sound. Liu Xiaochen was so frightened that he trembled and turned around sharply. I saw Zuo Kunmin standing behind him, and he immediately said respectfully: "Hello, Teacher Zuo!"

"Why are you staring at the water glass in a daze?" Zuo Kunmin said, approaching and filling the glass with water.

Liu Xiaochen smiled softly and said, "The cup is very nice."

"No!" Zuo Kunmin handed Liu Xiaochen a glass of water and said, "My mother bought it. She loves beauty and wants everything she buys to look good."

"Thank you, Teacher Zuo." Liu Xiaochen took the water glass with both hands. At this moment, he calmed down and felt Zuo Kunmin's body was steaming with heat, there was sweat on his forehead, and the collar of his dark blue sweatshirt was soaked with sweat. Thinking back to the buzzing sound just now, I thought it was him running.

Zuo Kunmin poured another glass of water and took a few sips. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he hurriedly said, "Sorry, I woke you up while running. I forgot that you have neurasthenia."

Liu Xiaochen was drinking water. When he heard this, he had no time to swallow the water in his mouth. He shook his head and said hastily: "No... no... cough cough..." Liu Xiaochen choked on the water.

Zuo Kunmin took a tissue from the dining table, handed it to Liu Xiaochen, and said with a smile: "Am I that scary? You are always nervous every time you see me."

Liu Xiaochen raised his eyes and saw Zuo Kunmin looking at her with a relaxed smile. He also smiled in relief and said, "I don't know why, every time I see you, I can't help but feel a sense of awe."

"I'm busy these days and haven't bothered to reply to you. How are you doing at university? Are you getting used to living in the dormitory?" Zuo Kunmin chatted casually with a homely tone.

"Habit, get used to it." Liu Xiaochen nodded hurriedly and explained hurriedly: "I just entered school, and there is not much academic pressure yet. There are two girls in our dormitory who don't live in the dormitory often. There are only one or two people living there, and they are very nice people."

As he said this, Liu Xiaochen remembered that when he was sprinting for [-] days in his senior year of high school, he fainted several times due to severe neurasthenia and lack of sleep. He couldn't help but write about it in a letter. Within a few days, Liu Xiaochen moved into a separate dormitory arranged by the school.

At this time, I knew that it was arranged by him.

"That's good." Zuo Kunmin nodded lightly and said casually: "Before I went to bed last night and when I went downstairs this morning, I saw the lights on in your room. Did you forget to turn off the lights? Or you just don't get used to it here and can't sleep. ?”

"No, I slept well. It's just that I like to sleep with the light on."

"Sleeping with the lights on is not good for your eyes and can lead to astigmatism."

Liu Xiaochen nodded and said, "Well, I..." Before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from the stairs.

The two took two steps together and looked towards the stairs. It was Zuo Xu. He was still wearing yesterday's clothes, and his black hair was a mess.

"Dad, I'm hungry." Zuo Xu touched his stomach and said, then turned to Liu Xiaochen and said with a bright smile: "Little sister, can you make the delicious egg soft pancakes yesterday morning?"

As soon as he saw Zuo Xu's smiling face, Liu Xiaochen felt happy and said with a smile: "No problem!"

Zuo Kunmin put down the water glass and said: "Xiaoxiao, you don't have to listen to him. You have to take care of them all day today, which is very hard. You rest, Aunt Zhang will come over soon to make breakfast."

"It's okay, Teacher Zuo. Xiao Xu likes to eat it, and I'm happy to make it. Teacher Wang also likes to eat the egg soft pancakes I made. I used to make them for Teacher Wang."

When Wang Luoxia was mentioned, the expression on Zuo Kunmin's face immediately softened, and he nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Flour, eggs, water, and green onions are mixed together to form a paste. Put a little oil in the frying pan, pour a spoonful of batter, spread evenly, fry until both sides are golden brown, and quickly bake a fragrant egg soft pancake. Liu Xiaochen did it with ease.

Zuo Xu quickly finished washing up and ran towards the kitchen, exclaiming: "It smells so good!" Then he stared at the cake eagerly and begged: "Little sister, can I have some first?"

"It's a bit hot!" Liu Xiaochen picked a piece of cake that wasn't too hot, pulled off a small piece, held the cake and carefully handed it to Zuo Xu's mouth, saying, "Be careful as it's hot."

Zuo Kunmin put on a white shirt and dark gray plaid trousers and went downstairs.

I just happened to see Zuo Xu stretching his neck, raising his face and opening his mouth to eat cake. He was so innocent and cute, and couldn't help but smile. But I immediately thought of my mother’s teachings to her children to eat with dignity.

If Wang Luoxia were here, which method would she agree with?

"Xiao Xu, go to the dining table, wait for Yanyan to come down, and then we can eat together." Zuo Kunmin said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaochen immediately took the leftover piece of cake from Zuo Xu's hand and said with a smile, "Sorry, Teacher Zuo."

Zuo Xu reluctantly followed Zuo Kunmin to the dining table, pouting and looking longingly at the kitchen.

When Zuo Kunmin was reading the newspaper, he saw the disappointed expression on Zuo Xu's face from the corner of his eye. I couldn't help but slowly put down the newspaper and looked up at the kitchen.

See, under the soft light, Liu Xiaochen is wearing a light gray sweater jacket with a white T-shirt underneath. He looks clean and refreshing. She rolled up her sleeves, revealing her slender forearms, bending down and busy in the light smoke and mist.

Sometimes he flips the cakes in the pan, sometimes stirs the porridge in the casserole, and sometimes uses a rag to wipe the stains on the stove... There is no moment of leisure, all actions are quick and orderly.

Looking at it, Zuo Kunmin was slightly surprised. She is obviously a young girl who has just grown up, but she cooks like a skilled chef. I can't help but think of what Wang Luoxia once said, "My student is very good at taking care of others. She cooked three meals a day for me throughout my pregnancy." ’

At this moment, Zuo Kunmin felt a little guilty. Liu Xiaochen showed his kindness and worked hard to make breakfast for them. Even if we really establish rules, we should not rush into this moment.

Sit together around the dining table and eat quietly.

Zuo Xu gulped down two small cakes, his hands and face were oily, and Zuo Kunmin said nothing. Zuo Yan was usually full after just two mouthfuls of rice. Today she drank a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, half a small pancake, and a few mouthfuls of cold vegetables. Zuo Kunmin was a little surprised.

Halfway through the meal, Aunt Zhang came. She tidied the kitchen and dining table.

After the meal, Liu Xiaochen packed his things to go out.

Thermos cup, fruit, sushi, cookies, paper towels, and Zuo Yan's medicine. These things were put into a sturdy handbag by category, and Liu Xiaochen was carrying it.

At 7:25, Master Zhao went upstairs to pick them up and took the handbag on his own initiative. Zuo Xu, Zuo Yan, and Liu Xiaochen each carried their own schoolbags, and the four of them went out together.

When they were approaching the door, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Wait a minute."

Everyone turned around when they heard the sound and saw Zuo Kunmin walking quickly from the stairs.

He wore a dark gray dark plaid suit, a black shirt, and a diamond-encrusted rudder-shaped brooch on the collar of the suit. The golden morning light shone in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and his whole body flashed in the sunlight.

Liu Xiaochen suddenly remembered that the first people he saw in a big city when he was a child were Teacher Wang and Teacher Zuo. At that time, she thought that men and women in big cities were as good-looking and outstanding as them.

Now I know that people like them are extremely rare, and I can see them personally and be illuminated by their light. What a blessing!
