Invigilator, I have my eyes on you

Back in the room, Xue Chen turned on the air conditioner, and the temperature slowly went up. He felt a little warmth all over his body, and then he felt relaxed.Throwing himself on the bed, he charged his phone with the charger he borrowed from the front desk. He turned it on, first transferred the rent with Alipay, then opened the post bar, and deleted his previous post.

In the chat history, the content still stays in the last sentence he sent out - I'll be right there.

The other party's id is a poem - flowers have fragrance and moon has shade.

Xue Chen knew that the first line of this poem was - a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold.

Sure enough, well-educated people have such vague and ambiguous names.

He opened Zhang Qiyue's personal information, and there was very little information, gender, age, and city, and nothing else, and the personal description was all blank.The post also has a private lock set and cannot be viewed.

So mysterious.

Xue Chen lay on his back on the bed, ready to rest for a while.Suddenly the phone rang, it was a notification tone.He picked it up and found that it was a pop-up message from Alipay, and Zhang Qiyue said—received.

Then there is the second - go to bed early.

He laughed and typed out a crackling sentence—I know, you too.sent it.

Then after a while, it came back again—hmm.

I really cherish words like gold.

Xue Chen thought for a while, and then sent another sentence - thank you tonight.

Soon the other party replied - you're welcome, let's rest early.

He replied—OK.

Then there was no message from the phone.

Xue Chen looked at the chat interface, and his eyes stayed on Zhang Qiyue's profile picture. A kitten was sleeping on the table, showing a cute little furry face.

He stared at the phone, and kept clicking out and pressing the input keyboard back. After a while, he exited the interface and put the phone on the bedside table.

He wanted to take a shower before going to bed, only to realize that all his clothes were also in the dormitory, and now only the suit he was wearing was left.

What a fuck.

He shaved his hair, wrapped his coat tightly and went out again. He went to buy underwear and pajamas and came back. After that, he took a hot bath and changed into pajamas to sleep.

The next day he went outside to buy some stationery and daily necessities. As for clothes, winter coats are not cheap. Xue Chen felt that there was no need to buy new ones. Send a few sets over to be considered a solution.

Zhang Qiyue never looked for him again, and Xue Chen couldn't think of a reason to bother him, so he simply put his mind on his studies, spending time in the library during the day and fighting with lights at night.

No more talking about hookups.This matter is risky. If he is bumped into again for a while, Xue Chen feels that he will never be able to turn the tables in his life.

In a blink of an eye, New Year's Eve is approaching, and more and more stores outside are closed for good luck, and there are fewer pedestrians on the road, or families in groups of threes and twos come out to buy New Year's goods.

Compared with Xue Chen who was alone, he just felt extremely heartbroken.

The more worrying thing came later, and the hotel was about to close.

The day before New Year's Eve, the boss approached him and told him tactfully that the hotel would not be open during the Spring Festival, and his family would go back to their hometown for the New Year.

The boss is about to leave, and Xue Chen, as a customer, can't force him to stay here.

He had no choice but to settle the rent, packed his luggage and left.

The boss said that he can live again when he comes back from the third year of junior high school.

Xue Chen thought to himself, I don't even know if I can survive to the third year of junior high school.

With a bag full of clothes and sundries, and books in his arms, Xue Chen stood on the side of the road at a loss.

Where should I go?

He wanted to find an Internet cafe, but found that the Internet cafe was also closed.

Because of the Chinese New Year, all stores turned him away.

Xue Chen felt confused, and there was a trace of despair.

Soon came the dreaded night again, he thought, might he have to go back to the ATM machine?At least there is some protection from the wind.

But of course it's impossible, Xue Chen doesn't want to suffer that kind of crime again.

Call Zhang Qiyue?No, he can't trouble others anymore.

The houses of the roommates are all far away, and in other provinces, they can't take a long-distance bus to go there at this time, not to mention that he doesn't have an ID card, and he can't even buy a bus ticket.

All roads lead to hell.

There is nothing to do.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, Xue Chen felt hungry, and the convenience stores around were closed. He carried his luggage to a shopping mall at the intersection, and took a piece of bread and a bottle of yogurt from the food section inside.

"Xue Chen?"

Someone called his name, he turned his head subconsciously, and met those familiar eyes not far away.

"...Zhang Qiyue?"

Confused, he called out his name again.

Zhang Qiyue walked towards him, didn't say anything, just stared at the books and bags in his arms, and asked, "What's going on with you?"

Xue Chen was silent for a while, and said, "The hotel is closed, so we won't let you in."

Zhang Qiyue looked at him, "Then do you have somewhere to go now?"

He shook his head, took down a bottle of yogurt from the shelf, and put it on top of the book in his arms.

"What about you?"

Xue Chen thought for a while, "I don't know...it's really impossible, let's go to an Internet cafe for a night."

He didn't say that the Internet cafe was also closed because he didn't want to bother him anymore.

"Internet cafes won't be open at this time." Zhang Qiyue said, "Besides, it's not safe to stay in an Internet cafe."

"It should be fine. I'm a man anyway, so what's the danger?" Xue Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, showing a hint of a smile.

"Qiyue, who are you talking to?" Someone came over and stood beside Zhang Qiyue.

It was a woman, in her twenties, and very pretty.

Zhang Qiyue said, "I'm a student, just happened to meet."

"Your student," the woman looked at Xue Chen and smiled politely, "Why are you still holding a bunch of things in the mall at such a late hour?"

Xue Chen didn't know how to explain it, so he just smiled.

"He didn't go home and stayed in the hotel all the time. Today the hotel closed, so he moved out." Zhang Qiyue was concise.

"Why don't you go home after Chinese New Year?" the woman asked Xue Chen again.

"It's time for the postgraduate entrance examination, and he's already in his third year." Zhang Qiyue said.

The woman looked at him and frowned, "I didn't ask you when I asked him, why do you keep talking for others?"

"I'm afraid he'll be embarrassed." Zhang Qiyue raised his glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at Xue Chen, "What are you going to do later?"

"...Let's go to the Internet cafe first." Xue Chen hesitated for a while, his voice a little low.

"Live in an Internet cafe?" The woman was surprised, "How can you live there during Chinese New Year? Come to my house, you are a student of Qiyue, my parents must welcome you very much."

Xue Chen opened his mouth in surprise, "No need..."

Zhang Qiyue said, "You are polite to the teacher? If you tell me to go, go, there are many people. Otherwise, you are alone, and you really plan to live in an Internet cafe? Where do you want me to be a teacher?"

The woman came over and gently grabbed his arm, with a smile on her face, "That's right, it's only when there are many people during the Chinese New Year that it's lively, otherwise you won't be at ease if you're alone."

Xue Chen looked at her, and was moved in his heart.

On the way back, Xue Chen sat in Zhang Qiyue's car and realized that the woman was his sister, but she looked really young, exactly like his sister.

They went out to buy some new year's goods, and Zhang Qiyue happened to see him in the snack area.

Xue Chen felt that this coincidence was just for him. If it hadn't happened, where would he be at this moment?

Zhang Qiyue's home is in a beautiful community, take the elevator to the fifteenth floor.Until he was in a warm and lively atmosphere, when his parents greeted him, he still felt like a dream, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Zhang Qiyue said, "Don't be restrained, just be your own home."

He smiled slightly, took the candy he handed over, peeled it off and ate it.

Zhang Qimin was married, but her husband didn't come with her. The little boy was three years old and could run and dance.Seeing an outsider in the family, Diandian ran over and touched his trouser legs with his fingers, looking curious and innocent.

Xue Chen had never raised a child, and he was the only child in the family, so he was a little nervous when facing him, fearing that he would cry.

But the child lost interest after a while, so he ran away to trouble his mother.

Zhang Qiyue shouted, "Come on, come here."

The little boy turned his head and looked at him with round eyes.

He picked up a candy on the table and dangled it in the air, "Chocolate candy, do you want it?"

The boy ran over on short legs and reached out to grab the candy.

Zhang Qiyue deliberately raised his hand high and said, "What are you calling me?"

The boy said in a childish voice, "Uncle."

Zhang Qiyue then gave him the candy.

Zhang Qimin said from the side, "Don't give him so much sugar, he has tooth decay."

"Yeah, just this one." Zhang Qiyue responded, straightened his long legs, and stretched himself on the sofa.

Xue Chen had never seen him in private before, so relaxed and lazy, his glasses were also taken off, and a pair of dark eyes narrowed slightly, as if he didn't care about anything.

He felt his heart beating a little hard.

While she was in a trance, she suddenly saw him turn his head around, and his eyes were on him without any cover.

Startled, Xue Chen quickly lowered his head, not daring to look any further.

After dinner, Zhang Qiyue said, "Let me take you to the place where you sleep."

Xue Chen nodded and followed him upstairs.Upstairs are several bedrooms, a study, and a guest room.

Zhang Qiyue opened the door of the guest room, "You will sleep here, the room is not often occupied by people, but it is always cleaned very clean."

Xue Chen said, "This room is pretty good." He lifted his legs and walked in.

There is a bed, a bedside table, and a table in the room. It is very simple and clear, and the windows are clear and clean.

He put his luggage on the table, turned his head, and said to Zhang Qiyue, "Thank you."

Zhang Qiyue walked towards him, flipped through the books he brought, they were all recommended by him in the bookstore, and he had already made a lot of notes in them, "You study very seriously."

"It's very leisurely during the holidays, so I just do my homework to pass the time."

"If all the students were doing homework to pass the time like you, I wouldn't have such a headache." Zhang Qiyue smiled and put the books back on the table.

"You can pack your things here. There is a bathroom next to it, so it's very convenient to wash up." He said again, turning around, "I'm going down first."

"That..." Xue Chen opened his mouth. He stopped and turned to look at him.

"...Where do you live?" Xue Chen asked.

Zhang Qiyue smiled, "My room is next to yours. If you have any difficulties in studying, you can come to me."

"... Oh." He responded dryly, didn't say anything, and watched him leave.

The next day was New Year's Eve, and Xue Chen was woken up early in the morning by crackling firecrackers outside.

He yawned and went out with a toothbrush and towel. As soon as he stepped out, he heard a "click" from the door next to him and opened it.

Zhang Qiyue came out rubbing his face, raised his hand when he saw him, "Good morning."

"...Morning." Xue Chen also raised his hand.

"The sound of the cannons is so loud." Zhang Qiyue covered his ears as the cannons were still being fired outside, "I was woken up early in the morning."

"New Year's Eve, it's normal to fire cannons," Xue Chen said.

Zhang Qiyue glanced at the things in his hand, "Go to wash?"

He nodded.

"Then go," he said, waving his hand, "I'll go later."

"Oh." Xue Chen walked to the bathroom.

After washing up, I went downstairs. In the living room downstairs, Diandian was making noise. Zhang Qimin and his aunt were cooking food in the kitchen. Uncle was not at home, so he must have gone to morning exercise.He greeted them at the door of the kitchen, sat on the sofa, ran over little by little, grabbed his hand and asked him to peel the candy for him.

He remembered that Zhang Qimin said yesterday that he had tooth decay, so he patiently told him not to eat sugar.When the child was in a hurry, he pouted his mouth and wanted to cry. He was a little flustered, and said quickly, "Let's not eat candy, can my brother play with you? What do you want to play?"

After a little thought, he said softly, "Set off firecrackers."

"Want to play with cannons?" Xue Chen looked at him, wondering if such a young child could touch this thing, so he took his hand and walked to the kitchen door, telling the whole story.

Zhang Qimin came over to comfort him a little bit, saying that it was dangerous not to fire cannons, and asked him to behave himself.

Diandian began to cry and make a fuss, so that there was nothing he could do.

"What's the matter, Diandian? Why are you crying?" Zhang Qiyue came down from the stairs at some point, and walked over to hold the child in his arms, "Xiaohuamao, why are you crying, tell uncle."

Zhang Qimin explained the matter to him.

Zhang Qiyue smiled, and wiped his tears with a tissue, "I want to play with firecrackers, can uncle take you to play?"

Diand nodded heavily in his arms, Xiaofen's nose twitched.

"Are you really taking him to play with cannons? Be careful with him." Zhang Qimin was a little worried.

"Understood, I won't really touch him, just kid to tease him." Zhang Qiyue carried him to the door, and suddenly turned to look at Xue Chen, "Xue Chen, let's go together."

Xue Chen was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "Okay."

Then he raised his legs and came to him, lay on his shoulders little by little, touched him with his fingers, and he reached out to hold his little hand and smiled at him.

Dian Dian gave him a hold for a while, and was about to break free.A trace of disappointment appeared on Xue Chen's face, wondering if he didn't like children.He raised his head inadvertently, and found that Zhang Qiyue was looking at him, and they were still standing at the entrance, without moving a step.

Xue Chen said, "Teacher, don't you want to go out?"

He was stunned for a moment, as if he just came back to his senses, "...Go out, let's go now."

After speaking, he walked out the door with a little bit in his arms, and Xue Chen followed behind.
