As for Zhou Xi, Shu Wangbei thought about it carefully. He had no impression of this name. It stands to reason that he had been in the middle school in the town for three years. Even if he had no teacher who taught him, he should have some impression, but The name really sounds completely foreign.

Shu Wangbei understood Xie Jianye's hesitation about his meeting request.He said he was going to marry him, and he didn't even plan to let them meet in person. How bad is Xi himself this week?

In the previous life, Shu Wangbei's impression of him was limited to his own fantasy, because he heard that Zhou Xi was going to bring someone to arrest him. He was alone and helpless at the time, so scared that he packed up his things and ran away immediately.

In his imagination, this person must be ferocious and evil. Although he is a teacher and paralyzed, he is strong and strong, just like the black bear he saw in the mountains a few years ago. Anyone would be afraid of him if he launched a threat. He is a master who can swing a brick and blow people's heads away while sitting in a wheelchair.

Not long after that, he was wandering outside, working around to make a living, and gradually forgot about this person.It wasn't until many years later that he happened to meet a fellow villager who came out to work in other places, that he didn't know that Zhou Xi passed away in 86. At that time, he didn't feel much about it, anyway, it was nothing to do with him.

In the past, he also complained about Zhou Xi, causing him to travel around for so many years, but without Zhou Xi, he might not have had a good life in the village, so he might as well go out and have a look, at least gain some insight, and then hear about Zhou Xi He left so early, and his life was not as good as his own, so there was no resentment at all.

In this life, Shu Wangbei wanted to change his destiny. He didn't want to waste this golden opportunity that God gave him, but to be honest, he had nowhere to start.

After the last life, he certainly knows that there will be many development opportunities in the future, he knows the future development trend of the country, and he understands the development opportunities of his environment, but he has nothing now, and his own personal conditions are not enough. Enhanced by rebirth, he is still an ordinary person, not smart or courageous, and if things go on like this, he still can't change anything.

Therefore, regarding this marriage, he told Xie Jianye that he had to consider it. In fact, he had basically made a decision. He planned to find a chance for himself, a chance to change his own destiny. No matter what happened to Zhou Xi himself, his background was right. It helped him a lot, and he felt that this was an opportunity for change.

What's more, he knew that Zhou Xi didn't live long, no matter how bad he was, two years would pass after he endured it.He knew it was vicious to think so, but he couldn't take care of himself now, let alone feel any sympathy for this stranger.

Shu Wangbei didn't expect this news to spread so quickly. They agreed to meet two days later. When he went out for these two days, he could clearly feel that the fellow villagers were pointing at him. Sometimes he saw a few people gathered together from a distance. Chatting, when he walked over, those few people fell silent, their faces deliberately pretended to be calm, but the tense expression had already made Shu Wangbei see the general idea.

Television sets were rare at this time, and they were still a rare luxury for ordinary people. The neighbor’s house was still lively every night. A group of people crowded in front of the small black and white TV and waited to watch "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" ", when the commercials were being played between the two episodes, these people were idle and bored, so they chatted wildly.

Shu Wangbei could hear his name even though the doors and windows were closed tightly in his room. Although those people had tried to lower their voices, they still couldn't control their loud voices occasionally when they talked about excitement.

Some lamented his miserable life, some mentioned his family's past and laughed, and the most talked about was this marriage, not only a same-sex marriage, but the other party was also a paralyzed person, and there was some clever gloating and ridicule in their sighs.

Shu Wangbei is used to the faces of his fellow villagers. Since his father left, he hasn't lived a peaceful life, so he has long been numb to these things.

Two days later, he changed into clean clothes, straightened his hair in front of the mirror, and went out. He planned to ask the village chief to borrow a bicycle to ride to the town, but to his surprise, someone was already outside the door. wait for him.

A tall young man was standing next to a green jeep. When he saw him going out, he immediately stood up straight and smiled at him.

"I'm Zhou Li, Zhou Xi's younger brother." The young man's complexion is dark, but he looks good, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and when he smiles, his two rows of teeth are particularly white.

"I'm Shu Wangbei, and I might be your future brother-in-law." Shu Wangbei said expressionlessly.

Zhou Li looked at him with wide eyes in surprise, and after a long while showed two rows of white teeth, and narrowed his smiling eyes, "Then, future brother-in-law, get in the car, and I will take you to see my brother."

Shu Wangbei opened the car door and looked into the car. Xie Jianye was sitting inside. This time he was wearing a black wool suit, looking very foreign, and his whole person looked even more domineering.

Shu Wangbei called out "Mr. Xie" respectfully, nodded in greeting before sitting in.

Xie Jianye frowned and looked at him, "Why did you go out like this? Don't you have any decent clothes?"

Shu Wangbei looked down at himself, and didn't think anything was wrong. Before he could speak, Xie Jianye seemed to shake his head helplessly, "Fortunately, it's still clean. Forget it. It's time, let's go."

"Drive," Xie Jianye ordered, and Zhou Li stepped on the accelerator.

When the car was leaving, Shu Wangbei saw through the car window the head sticking out of the neighbor's door flashing past, that face was clearly ridiculed and mixed with a trace of complicated envy.

In this day and age, even household appliances are rare, let alone cars. There is not a single car in the village, even in the town.

Shu Wangbei didn't know who the car belonged to, but no matter who it belonged to, being able to get a car to pick him up for a meeting showed that Zhou Xi's energy was not simple, but it wasn't surprising, with a relative like Xie Jianye around, this point It's not difficult.

Of course, Shu Wangbei in his previous life had ridden in a car, but it was a bus or a bus. In the two lifetimes together, it was the first time for him to ride in this kind of car. It was a bit novel, but he was actually 40 years old after all. People, the performance is still calm.

Seeing him like this, Xie Jianye seemed a little more satisfied, and the expression on his face eased a lot.The town is about five or six kilometers away from the village. It is too far to walk, but the car is very fast. Shu Wangbei estimated that it took about ten minutes before the car slowed down, and the signboard of Mishui Town Hospital appeared in front of them. .

This hospital is different from the regular hospitals in the county. It is mainly used as a nursing home, and by the way, it solves the problem of medical treatment in nearby towns and villages.It was just built the year before last. Although they are poor here, they are in the north with beautiful mountains and clear waters. The winter is not as cold as in the northeast. Overall, it is still very comfortable, so it is normal for the government to build a nursing home here.

It's just that Shu Wangbei thought they would meet at Zhou Xi's house, but he didn't expect the car to take him directly to the hospital. Could it be that Zhou Xi's health is too bad to leave the hospital?

Shu Wangbei was contemplating when the jeep had stopped, so he turned his head and glanced at Xie Jianye.

Xie Jianye also turned to look at him, "Don't be nervous, he is easy to get along with."

When the two got out of the car, Xie Jianye looked at Shu Wangbei up and down, frowning slightly, and seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with his clothes, probably because of time constraints, Shu Wangbei felt that Xie Jianye's eyes were disgusting That's it, I almost dragged him to buy clothes now.

Xie Jianye came over and tugged Shu Wangbei's sleeves and collar, and patted him on the shoulder, "Pay more attention to your image in the future, Zhou Xi is the one who annoys who is disheveled the most, don't make him angry."

Shu Wangbei was about to speak, but Xie Jianye raised his hand to interrupt him, and then said, "Also, you should answer honestly what he asks, and don't talk until he opens his mouth. He doesn't like talking too much, remember? "

Shu Wangbei looked down at himself, his clothes were well dressed, they were a bit worn, but not to the point of being disheveled.He wanted to turn his head back now, who said that Zhou Xi was easy to get along with just now?Besides, it's not that he begged Zhou Xi to marry him, and he still made so many demands.

Thinking so, Shu Wangbei obediently followed Xie Jianye into the nursing home.

Zhou Li had already parked the car, and followed them quietly with the car keys in hand.

When they entered, they saw a door open at the end of the corridor from a distance, and a nurse was coming out of it. Seeing them coming, she showed a polite smile.

Shu Wangbei obviously felt that the little nurse knew what he was here for, and her eyes were always on him, making him look so awkward.

When he got closer, Xie Jianye asked casually, "Are you ready?"

The nurse nodded and said with a smile, "It's all ready, Mr. Zhou is in a hurry and has asked several times."

With that said, he turned sideways to open the door.

Shu Wangbei rolled his eyes wildly in his heart, how anxious Zhou Xi was to marry his wife this time.

Xie Jianye looked back at Shu Wangbei, "Go in."

Shu Wangbei followed Xie Jianye into the room. This is a separate ward with a large space, which looks to be more than ten square meters. The facilities are no different from other hospitals. There is a bed with oxygen inhalation equipment beside the bed. There is a drip shelf, and there is a bedside table next to the bed for sundries.Next to it is a movable inspection device.

The ward was nothing special, but it was the first time Shu Wangbei saw the banner hanging in the ward.

Moreover, to be honest, after living for 40 years in the previous life, plus this life, Shu Wangbei never thought that one day his name would appear on a banner and be hung on the wall.

"Warmly welcome Comrade Shu Wangbei to come and discuss cooperation." The banner was written in white on a red background. These words were large and strongly stimulated Shu Wangbei's retina.

A few ribbons and balloons were hung beside the banner, Shu Wangbei thought, he knew what the nurse meant when she said it was ready....

Shu Wangbei had an indescribably strange feeling, he seemed to have seen this kind of behavior before somewhere.

Under the banner, in the center of the ward, there was a man sitting in a wheelchair with his back to them.

Although he was sitting, it could still be seen from behind that he was tall and had long legs, broad shoulders, a straight back, and the clothes on his body were straight without any wrinkles.

The strange and somewhat familiar feeling in Shu Wangbei's heart became even stronger.

This man should have heard their voices a long time ago, and he had been sitting quietly just now, until now they were all standing still in the ward, and after a few seconds, he saw him moving the wheelchair slowly. turned around.

As expected, he was tall and had long legs. His two long legs curled up on the pedals of the wheelchair with some grievances. He was wearing a dark blue Chinese tunic suit, the top button of which was buttoned meticulously.

Shu Wangbei looked along the button, and there was a slender and powerful neck and a bulging Adam's apple, and further up, there was a very handsome but cold face.

This face is very beautiful, with fair skin, sword eyebrows and star eyes, straight nose bridge, thin lips tightly pursed, but cold and serious eyes, full of expressions that are eager to find fault.

This expression is so familiar to Shu Wangbei, he could see it every day from the glass of the back door of their classroom during his dark and youthful three years in junior high school.

Shu Wangbei's eyes returned to the banner again, and after a swipe, he looked back at the face that looked like everyone owed him money, and suddenly remembered.

"Fuck, aren't you Shen Dapao, the dean of our junior high school?" Shu Wang shouted in shock.

But their dean’s name is not Zhou Xi, what’s his name? By the way, it’s Shen Xi. At that time, this teacher Shen came from Beijing to teach in their junior high school not long ago. He is very strict, so the students love to imitate him and laugh at him behind his back, and even gave him a lot of nicknames, most of which are homonyms with his name. At first, he was called worry-free, but later found that he was not worry-free at all, so he was called worry-free , and later it was called Huahua, everything. Among them, Shen Dapao is the most widely circulated name, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. The new students have been popularized by the teacher.

Of course, this is called behind the scenes. This teacher Shen is good-looking, and all the female students like him, and the way he disciplines the students is so strict that no one has the guts to provoke him in person.

Shu Wangbei was still in a state of shock and couldn't extricate himself, Zhou Xi had stretched out his obviously pretty face and was unhappy.

"Shu Wangbei, have all your studies been wasted? All the etiquette, righteousness, and shame have been taught to you for nothing?"

Shu Wangbei's scalp tightened, the familiar fear of being dominated by the glass of the classroom's back door from many years ago returned, subconsciously hunched over and prepared to run away.

"Shu Wangbei," Zhou Xi roared, "What do you look like! Bending your back, standing upright, did I teach you this before?"

Shu Wangbei was really convinced. He stood up with a mournful face, and bowed ninety degrees to Zhou Xi: "Mr. Shen...ah no, it's Mr. Zhou. Please forgive me this time."

Zhou Xi still looked annoyed and dissatisfied, staring at Shu Wangbei with sharp eyes, as if asking Shu Wangbei to raise his head to apologize, until Xie Jianye coughed while covering his face with his fist, then he turned his eyes. After a pause, it seemed that he just remembered what these people were doing in the ward now, and he reluctantly softened his expression, "Uncle, I'm sorry to trouble you, please sit down."

Then he pointed to the chair next to the hospital bed, and said coldly to Shu Wangbei, "Sit."

How could Shu Wangbei dare to sit down? He just stood still in front of Zhou Xi tremblingly, glanced at Xie Jianye, and said in a low voice, "Why don't I go back first."

Xie Jianye quickly comforted him with a smile, "Don't be in a hurry, we haven't said a few words yet."

"You should have graduated early, but you probably didn't know that Zhou Xi used to take his father's surname, but he changed his mother's surname in the past two years. You are also very destined. You used to be a master and apprentice, and you will be a husband and wife in the future. How wonderful that is." .”

Xie Jianye was making love there, and Shu Wangbei rolled his eyes wildly in his heart again. If he and Zhou Xi were destined, wouldn't those unlucky ghosts who Zhou Xi caught smoking in the men's toilet countless times have more destiny with him? up.

"Although we have known each other before, the nature of the meeting this time is different after all. You should introduce yourself to each other and get to know each other better," Xie Jianye suggested.

Shu Wangbei had to give Xie Jianye face, so he spoke under Zhou Xi's staring gaze.

"My name is Shu Wangbei. I'm 20 this year. I'm a junior high school graduate. My parents have both passed away. I'm the only one in my family. Oh, there's also an uncle named Shu He. My grandma lives in their house. They are all in the same village, but they don't communicate much."

Zhou Xi frowned after listening, "I remember you were admitted to high school, why didn't you go?"

Shu Wangbei looked up at him, "Poor, no money."

Zhou Xi frowned even tighter, his expression seemed to be a little sad, and he said after a while, "I am Zhou Xi, 32 years old this year, a college graduate, working in Mishui Town Middle School, teaching third-year political class , and the teaching director."

After saying this, he fell silent, as if he didn't want to introduce his family situation.

Xie Jianye looked at the two of them back and forth, and asked tentatively, "Then I'll go out first, you talk?"

Seeing that Zhou Xi had no intention of objecting, Xie Jianye dragged Zhou Li, who was enjoying watching the play, out, and did not forget to close the door when he left.

Immediately there were only two people left in the room, Shu Wangbei was very awkward, this kind of situation was beyond his imagination.

Shu Wangbei was considered a good student when he was in school, but boys were inevitably mischievous, and Shen Dapao often took care of him back then. Now, even though he has graduated for many years, he still feels awe of Shen Dapao in his heart.

Since he entered the room, Zhou Xi's sharp gaze has been on him. Shu Wangbei persuaded himself to relax, but he still felt that he didn't know how to release his hands and feet.

The room was very quiet, and only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard. After a long while, Zhou Xi pointed to a chair opposite him, and said again, "Sit."

In Shu Wangbei's impression, Zhou Xi has never talked much. In the past, when he met him at school and greeted him, his reaction was always a slight nod, unlike other teachers who sometimes gave him a smile.

Every day when it’s time for the self-study class, you can always see Zhou Xi squatting on the back door glass one by one. He is tall and always wears dark clothes. A black shadow, that's really scary.

Of course, Zhou Xi is not always talkative. He talks a lot when reprimanding students, and he often makes people blush, wishing to poke his head in a hole. This is the origin of his nickname Shen Dapao.

His voice is actually very pleasant. After coming to the local area for a few years, his accent gradually became less inflected. Later, he spoke like a robot with a standard pronunciation, which made people feel cold and emotionless.

This dean is very powerful in the school. It is no exaggeration to say that this person is Shu Wangbei's biggest psychological shadow and the person he fears the most throughout his middle school years.

Zhou Xi asked him to sit this time, and he dared not stop.

Shu Wangbei sat down as he said, not forgetting the requirements in school, not daring to lean back against the back of the chair, sitting upright, looking like a prisoner waiting to be interrogated.

After another long while, a cold and textured voice came from Zhou Xi's mouth again.

"Don't like to talk?" Zhou Xi asked, "I remember you were quite good at talking before?"

Shu Wangbei was caught several times by Zhou Xi when he was in school because he was in self-study and talking to his deskmate. After hearing Zhou Xi's question, he felt even more guilty.

He was lowering his head to study the floor tiles on the ground, but when he heard the words, he looked up at the other party, his lips moved, but he didn't know what to say.When Shu Wangbei was in a hurry, his face turned a little red, he just pretended that he didn't like to talk, and he lowered his head again.

He didn't look at the other party, but listened carefully to the other party's voice with his ears upright.

Zhou Xi didn't speak anymore, but he heard the sound of the other party moving the wheelchair.

Thinking of the inconvenience of the other party's legs and feet, coupled with the sincere awe of Teacher Zhou, Shu Wangbei raised his head and stood up, "What do you want to take? Let me help you."

I don't know if Shu Wangbei's proactive move pleased Zhou Xi. Zhou Xi's complexion looked much better. He glanced at Shu Wangbei, and it took a long time to look at Shu Wangbei. Somewhat at a loss, but fortunately, he quickly looked away, and nodded when Shu Wangbei thought he would refuse, "There is a box on the second floor of the cabinet over there, please help me get it."

Shu Wangbei immediately walked over and opened the cabinet door according to the instructions. He glanced around and saw that there were a lot of homework books in the cabinet. There were two thick stacks of books. Some books were not closed, and the big red crosses on them were shocking.

There was a small red flannel box on the grid on the second floor. He raised his hand to pick it up, feeling that it was heavy in his hand.

When Shu Wangbei turned around and was about to hand the box to Zhou Xi, he suddenly thought of the other person's physical condition, so he squatted down next to his wheelchair under Zhou Xi's sharp gaze, and handed the box over with both hands.

Zhou Xi didn't pick it up, and stretched out his hand to gently push it back. Shu Wangbei looked up at him in puzzlement, and felt that his wrist was gently squeezed. When Shu Wangbei looked down in surprise, the slender white fingers The tip has left his wrist.

"See you off." Zhou Xi said in a robot-like cold voice.

Shu Wangbei was stunned, hesitated for a while before retracting his hand, glanced at the velvet box in his hand, and looked at the person in front of him with some puzzlement.

"Open it and have a look." Zhou Xi's voice was not loud, and his tone was calm, but there was some hint of an order in it.

Of course Shu Wangbei didn't feel disgusted, he was used to listening to the teacher's words, he opened the box quickly, and saw a pair of delicate watches side by side in the box, the word "Shanghai" was very prominent on the dial.

Shu Wangbei looked up at Zhou Xi.

Zhou Xi took out one of the watches from the box, and then stretched out his hand to Shu Wangbei with the palm up. Shu Wangbei looked up at him, but did not respond.

Zhou Xi frowned, "Hand."

Only then did Shu Wangbei timidly put his left hand on it.The white and slender hand was covered with a rough hand with frostbite, forming a sharp contrast. Shu Wangbei glanced at Zhou Xi, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed, he didn't want to look any further, so he lowered his head deeply, feeling There was a chill on my wrist, and with a light click, I took it back with my dry palm.

Shu Wangbei glanced up quickly, Zhou Xi had already picked up another watch and handed it to him, "Put it on for me." Zhou Xi ordered.

Shu Wangbei took the watch, and imitated Zhou Xi to put on the watch. The watches on the two wrists shone brightly under the light shining through the window, reflecting each other.

Shu Wangbei was a little stunned, he looked up at Zhou Xi, and found that Zhou Xi was also looking at him.

"If you accept my gift, it means you have agreed to this marriage," Zhou Xi said, "The wedding is scheduled for one month later, you should be ready."
