Xin Zhai

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Li followed a few people from the dormitory into the department building 401.There are already many people sitting inside.Tong Yan was standing by the podium, talking to Zhou Shi, and glanced at him when he came in.Ye Li immediately lowered his head and passed in front of him.

Several people sat in the third row in the middle.After a while, almost everyone was there, and Zhou Shi also came over.When passing a few of them, Shi Jingchen called her, but she ignored him.The two have quarreled again these days.

Ye Li couldn't help but think of the first class meeting at the beginning of school, which was almost exactly the same scene.

"Is it all here?" Tong Yan's voice interrupted his thoughts.

Ye Li looked up and saw that he had changed into a suit today, and the shirt was not the same as yesterday.But when he walked over just now, he smelled Tong Yan's unique smell.Every time he changed into clean clothes on the first day, there was this fragrant smell.

"Next month, we will start preparing for the [-] chorus competition. This competition has a team for each department, usually in the sophomore class. It is the largest educational and competition activity in the school every year. Everyone must participate in it unless there are special circumstances. .”

He stared at Tong Yan for a while, and when he saw Tong Yan talking, his eyes were originally looking at the back row, but somehow they jumped on his face.His face was heated by this gaze, and he lowered his head hastily.

Last night, he returned to the dormitory in a trance, went to bed at night, climbed the ladder next to the bed, lost his foot, and almost fell.Later, he couldn't sleep for life or death, and the feeling of Tong Yan kissing him was lingering until one or two o'clock in the night.

"The chorus competition department will find a professional chorus teacher to guide everyone, and we will start practicing in a few days. Every time we practice, people will come to the school, and everyone must pay attention to the attendance and training situation."

"Ye Li."

Ye Lizheng was unconsciously swiping back and forth with his mobile phone, and when he heard Tong Yan calling him, he was startled and quickly raised his head.

"At the final competition, we are in the sophomore and five classes, and more than 100 people have to wear uniform clothes. You can ask the senior students to see where to rent clothes, and get the clothes before the game. Those few The head teacher of the class has entrusted me with this matter, and the money will be paid from the class fee first, and then I will be reimbursed."

Ye Li bravely looked at him, and found that he looked businesslike, his expression and eyes were the same as usual, and his beating heart gradually stabilized a lot.After Tong's speech, Ye Li realized that he was making himself responsible for renting clothes, so he quickly said "yes".

Tong Yan went on to talk about make-up exams for several courses that he hadn't passed in the last semester's exams. He called a few people by name and told them not to play games.

Shi Jingchen shouted from below: "Teacher Tong, it is said that the theoretical physics make-up exam questions are about the same every year? Who has the questions?"

"I don't know." Tong Yan glared at him and said, "Ye Li and Liu Na stay here for a while."

Everyone dispersed.Tong Yan watched Ye Li and Liu Na come up and said, "Our class doesn't develop enough party members. We need to encourage everyone to write in the party application form. I think other classes have used up all the places for this semester. Our class has so far No new party members were recruited."

Ye Li didn't speak, and thought to himself, you never write your own study reports, and you encourage others.

After Tong Yan finished speaking, he asked Liu Na about her recent situation and what kind of work she was doing.Ye Li listened beside him.When it was over, Liu Na said, "Then let's go, Teacher Tong."

Ye Li took his schoolbag, turned to the door, and heard Tong Yan say: "Ye Li, wait a minute."

"Then I'll wait for you outside." Liu Na finished speaking and went out.

Ye Li stood still and saw Liu Na at the corner of the door, picking up her mobile phone as if she was making a call.He turned around, heart pounding.

Tong Yan glanced at the door, leaned over, tilted his head, looked at him from the bottom up and smiled.

"Why do you always keep your head down?" Tong Yan asked him in a low voice, his tone became the same as last night again.The voice seemed to be coming from the lips, with heat.

"Don't dare to look at me?"

Ye Li raised his head and said arrogantly in a low voice, "No."

"Oh." Tong Yan paused and said, "I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, which may take about two weeks."

"Ah?" Ye Li used to be very familiar with his schedule, but now he always goes to the static electricity station, so he doesn't know about this temporary business trip.

"Is there a jet lag?" he asked.

"In Guangdong."

"Oh."

"I've made arrangements here. Yang Ziyue is in the project, and Xiao Meng will substitute for me. You don't need to come here."

"Ah."

When Tong Yan said this, he glanced at the door again: "Let's go."

When Ye Li went out, Liu Na was leaning against the wall and looking at her mobile phone. When she saw him coming out, the two of them went out together.

"Have you been tutoring recently?" Liu Na asked.

"Well, doing three."

"Oh, me too. Now that I have experience, I can find a lot of tutors."

"Correct."

Ye Li now works as a tutor for three jobs, earning about 500 yuan a week.Now his pressure is much less, but he is still reluctant to spend money.Ye Qi went to university the next year, and sooner or later the tuition fee would be his too.Liu Na is an only child, and her mother has been ill for many years and spent a lot of money.But the situation is much stronger than him.

Chen Shan stopped tutoring since the end of last semester, and told him to look for him next semester.As a result, there is no news so far.Later, Ye Li sent Chen Shan a WeChat message, asking about Cheng Luoyi's situation.Chen Shan said that the expected date of delivery is about October.Ye Li calculated that Cheng Luoyi should be confinement during this time, so he decided to find a day to visit her in the next few days.

On the weekend after the class meeting, the sophomores in the Department of Automation had their first chorus rehearsal.The student union of the department recruited a chorus teacher from the conservatory of music, a beautiful woman in her 40s with a voice like a bell.Because this competition commemorates the 160 Movement, it has some political significance.There are five classes in the sophomore year, with more than [-] people, all of whom must participate.There are two entries.

More than 160 people gathered in the lecture hall of the Department Hall.The teacher sent the sheet music.Everyone has a look, one is the school song, and the other is "Yellow River Cantata".

"Can you sing some nice songs..." Someone shouted from behind.

The chorus teacher said: "I will teach you to sing these two songs. By the day before the competition, you will all think it sounds good. If it doesn't sound good, come find me."

The people below were still in a mess like flies, and the chorus teacher shouted: "Everyone stand up."

"Let's sing standing up, so that the breath can come out."

So these 160 people stood in the lecture theater, only practiced the basic skills, and sang "ahhhh" for two hours.

After the game was over, everyone complained incessantly.

Ye Li left the department building and rushed all the way to the north gate.He and Chen Shan agreed to go to her house at night.Ye Li first wanted to buy something for the baby.Although her family didn't lack anything, it was her own wish to buy it.

He went to the baby section of a mall next to the school and found everything was outrageously expensive.A car, a doll, and a box can be as cheap as two or three hundred, and as expensive as thousands.He turned back and forth several times, and realized that he had forgotten to ask if the baby was a boy or a girl.

Later, he saw that there was a small suit in a box with a pair of gloves, which was very cute.If you buy a yellow one, both men and women can wear it.

He chose a suit and was very satisfied. Although it cost more than 400 yuan, he couldn't put it down when he saw the clothes.

After paying the money, Ye Li suddenly wanted to take a photo and send it to Tong Yan.During this time, the two of them only communicated once.It was still Tong Yan's first day of business trip, Ye Li asked him if he arrived at noon.In the afternoon, Tong Yan replied, "Here we are, for a meeting."Ye Li had nothing to say.Since then, Tong Yan has been missing.Ye Li also has no reason to chat, the less contact he gets, the more embarrassed he becomes.

"What?" Tong Yan quickly replied this time.

Ye Li was a little happy, and said, "How about the clothes I bought for Cheng Luoyi's child?"

Tong Yan typed: "I don't understand."

Ye Li rolled his eyes, and didn't know how to answer the words, so he put the phone in his pocket lazily.

Unexpectedly, Tong Yan sent another message: "Why are you still wearing gloves?"

"do not know."

After posting this article, Ye Li thought with a smile, it seems that he didn't find a good topic.

He took the clothes to Chen Shan's house, and it was Chen Shan who opened the door.The two greeted each other, and Chen Shan led him into the house and went directly to the living room on the third floor.

"I'm going back to my room, you can talk to my mother for a while."

"it is good."

The furnishings here have not changed at all, and the windows are bright and clean.The sky was cloudy, the sea outside was gray, and the waves were a bit big.

Ye Li waited for a while on the huge European-style sofa before Cheng Luoyi came in.

Ye Li took a closer look, Cheng Luoyi and a few months ago seemed to be different people.His hair was scrawled back, his face was sallow, and he had lost a lot of weight, making both cheekbones look prominent.He was only wearing pajamas, and he probably had to take care of the children, so he didn't have the energy for other things.

"Auntie, is the baby okay?"

"It's okay." Cheng Luoyi smiled, "I haven't seen you for a few months, you've grown taller."

Ye Li chuckled, and handed her the clothes he bought: "Impossible, I've lost my stature a long time ago. Is there someone to help you take care of the child?"

"There is a confinement wife and an aunt who cooks, that's enough. You don't have much money, you can buy anything randomly, and the child's clothes can't be worn." Cheng Luoyi called to the door, "Bring Rong Rong over here and let Ye Li see it. "

After a while, an aunt came over with a baby in her arms, and brought it to Ye Li.Inside the cloth bag was a small doll not much longer than an adult's forearm.The little guy's cheeks were round and swollen, and his skin was so white and tender that water dripped out.

"So cute."

"It's a girl, prettier than Chen Shan's when she was a child."

"Oh." Ye Li gently touched Xiaowa's face with his hand, and smiled, "Both parents are good-looking, so the child is also good-looking."

He teased Xiaowa for a while, and then hugged her for a long time like a confinement wife. He noticed that Cheng Luoyi hadn't spoken, and when he looked up, he saw Cheng Luoyi sitting and looking at him, with tears in his eyes.

Ye Li was taken aback, and handed the child to Yuesao.

Is it because she gave birth to a girl, so she is uncomfortable?

The concubine took the child out, Ye Liqian sat for a while, took a sip of water, and asked, "Uncle, don't you like this child?"

"I don't know either." Cheng Luoyi shook her head, "He came here after the child was born, stayed for three days, and never came again after that."

After Ye Li heard it, he was very angry to be honest, but he couldn't say it directly.

"As a mother, no matter what, you have to be strong."

Cheng Luoyi nodded: "Well, don't learn from me, don't love someone so much."

After Ye Li heard this sentence, his heart ached, and his whole body seemed to be discouraged.

He can't take it seriously when it comes out of anyone else's mouth.But Cheng Luoyi couldn't say.When Cheng Luoyi said it, he had no choice but to believe it.
