born to ashes

Josh held Ergazi in his left hand and held the drawing board in his right hand, standing at the door and smiling at him.

Only then did Wei Linze see a suitcase under Josh's feet.

"You cleaned up fast enough."

"That's not true, there was nothing at all."

Josh kicked the suitcase into the door with his feet, put the drawing board on the ground casually, and only held Er Gazi in his arms.

"What's your situation?" Wei Linze asked him as he put the teapot on the coffee table into the sink in the kitchen.

"Getting revenge, losing my job, and losing my place to live." Josh sat on the sofa and stroked Er Gazi's hair, Er Gazi shook his head in protest.

Wei Linze folded his arms and looked at it for a while, as if he didn't understand anything, "Didn't chefs claim to never be unemployed? Remember that advertisement? Chefs, high-paying jobs, chefs, never unemployed."

Josh listened to him read the advertisement in a cadenced tone, and couldn't help calling him crazy in his heart.

"Mr. Liu, I want you to take good care of me. I don't know who will take care of whom." He looked around, and the house was not very tidy, but it was quite clean. After looking around, he also came to a conclusion in his heart, Wei Linze Probably a person who really wants to tidy up the house but really has no talent in housework.

"You have a private chef for no reason, how touching!" he continued.

"You are unemployed and I still believe in your cooking skills?" Wei Linze said.

"I was so skilled that my peers were jealous." Seeing that Wei Linze rolled his eyes and stopped talking, Josh raised Ergazi's front paw and shook it, "Ergazi, come say hello to your father Wei. "

Er Gazi glanced at him indifferently, jumped out of Josh's arms, walked to Wei Linze's feet and arched.

Wei Linze took a step back, he didn't expect this tsundere cat to be quite flexible.

He looked at the time, and after such a toss, it was time to go to class again.

Wei Linze pointed to the study room, and said, "That's the study room, next to it is my bedroom, you can live in the study room temporarily, I have classes in the afternoon, you can clean it up yourself first."

After speaking, he packed up a stack of handouts and put them in his backpack. When he was changing shoes at the door, he said, "There is a spare key in the small box under the coffee table."

After he left, Josh went into the study and took a look, it was quite a spacious place.The layout of the upper and lower floors should be the same, so this study room is two rooms combined into one, with a large bookshelf full of books on each of the two walls, and an old-fashioned wooden table and a chair next to the window , the style looks like it was left by Mr. Liu.Other than that, there was nothing else, and the room seemed empty.

Josh made a rough gesture, and another bed was more than enough.

He called the furniture company and asked them to bring over a bed directly. After walking around Wei Linze's house, Josh found that he is a person who loves life. The decoration of the house is not exaggerated but makes people feel very comfortable. .

After directing the workers to install the bed, he sat on the bed and touched Er Gazi's head.

It stands to reason that this is an environment he is not familiar with, but he miraculously does not feel uncomfortable, and even feels at ease.

Wei Linze seems to have all the things he wants to get in his heart carefully hidden in his heart, a room full of books, a stable job, and a peaceful life.

Josh didn't have many things in his suitcase, only some seasonal clothes and skin care products and cosmetics. He put the things in the bathroom and filled the table all at once.He looked at Wei Linze's toiletries. The towels were blue and gray checked, and the cups were ordinary transparent glasses, which cost two yuan each in the supermarket.It is true that he enjoys life, but it is not impossible to say that he lives casually.

After Josh packed almost everything, the afternoon passed. He sat cross-legged on the sofa and played a backgammon game. After losing three games to the computer in a row, he rubbed his eyes, threw his phone aside, and took Started "Quan Tang Poetry" and turned a few pages.

Not five minutes after picking up the book, Wei Linze got off work and returned home.

What a coincidence, if he was lucky, he could leave a good impression of learning in others' hearts for no reason.Wei Linze changed his shoes and walked towards the living room, Josh casually put the book on the table.

Wei Linze glanced at it, and looked familiar, then took another look.

"Don't read it, it's your book, it left at my house last time." Josh reminded him.

Only then did Wei Linze realize that he really couldn't find the "Complete Tang Poems" he read a few days ago. He pointed to the study room, "If you want to read a book, you can get it from the bookshelf in the study room."

Josh nodded.

He doesn't like reading so much.

Wei Linze sat down and took a sip of water, then suddenly remembered, and said to Josh: "I almost forgot, there is no spare bed at home, I will take you to buy a bed?"

"I expect you to think about this kind of thing. The day lily is cold, and Mr. Liu still expects you to take care of me. It's really not sure which of us will take care of the other." Josh raised his chin at the study, "I bought it back. "

The study room is quite large. Josh also put an open hanger beside the bed to hang clothes, and Er Gazi slept on Josh's pillow. The overall layout is quite pleasing to the eye.Wei Linze glanced at Josh who was eating snacks on the sofa, and said, "Did you bring Er Gazi's nest?"

Josh patted the snacks on his hands, "No, are you free? Now go out and buy a litter box, and I'm also going to buy some slippers and towels."

"Didn't you just come up from downstairs, and you didn't bring these things out?"

Josh shook his head, "These things are not too difficult to buy, I'm too lazy to take them, just buy them now."

"Where do you buy your slippers and towels?" Josh opened the car door and asked Wei Linze.

"The RT-Mart in front of the school."

"Then go there and buy it."

Sitting in the co-pilot, Wei Linze watched Josh backing up on the narrow road with a serious face. Josh now stays at home all day and doesn't bother to put on makeup. Looking at him this way, his facial features are quite young, and he really feels like a college student.

He has seen Josh with heavy make-up, pinching his throat and scratching his head in a pretentious manner, Josh who throws flying eyes intentionally or unintentionally, Josh who is drunk, and Josh who reads a book with a serious face.Many people may feel that there is no way to combine these different states into one person, but he knows clearly that if any part is missing, this is not the person he knows.

Josh pushed the shopping cart around in the supermarket and pulled half a box of milk from the shelves.

"Can't you just go and get the whole box, this shelf is almost empty by you." Wei Linze couldn't help but say something.

"I want to drink something different." Josh said and threw another carton of Wangzai milk into the shopping cart.

He took two boxes of Future Stars to compare, one box of original flavor and one box of strawberry flavor, "Wei Wei, which box should I buy?"

Wei Linze didn't hear his name clearly, so he thought it was "Hey Hey", so he took a casual look and pointed at Strawberry Smell.

"What's for dinner tonight?" Josh asked again, taking snacks from the shelf as he walked, and also took a two-dollar glass. There was a special offer of one-eight yuan on the glass, which cost [-] cents less.

"I have no objection, you are the chef and you have the final say."

"Let's eat hot-boiled mutton, buy some base ingredients and go home and boil it yourself." Josh said while taking a pair of blue slippers.

After a while, the shopping cart was full of things, and the ingredients for the mutton pot were all bought. Josh was still wandering around the supermarket. Wei Linze couldn't help asking: "What are you looking for?"

"Towels."

"Isn't there a bunch over there? Just take one." Wei Linze pointed to the shelf on one side.

"No, I want to buy you the same one as that one."

"Why buy the same one?" Wei Linze didn't quite understand.

"I'd love to." Josh pushed the shopping cart and continued walking.

Only then did Wei Linze notice that the water glass and slippers that Josh picked were really the same as his, "I didn't buy my towel from here at all."

Josh stomped his feet, "Then you tricked me here?"

"What kind of logic do you have? Just like towels, you didn't buy them here. Who knew you had to buy the same ones as me." Wei Linze grabbed the shopping cart and pushed it to the cashier. "I have a new one at home, the same Yes, I'll see you off."

Only then did Josh follow Wei Linze contentedly, and when he arrived at the cashier, he took a box of chewing gum and put it in the shopping cart.

After returning home, after putting away the pot, Josh discovered that the bottom of the pot was extra spicy.

He can't eat spicy food very much, but he still put the ingredients into the pot.When eating, he stuffed rice into his mouth without saying a word, and he had to pull several mouthfuls of rice for every bite of meat.Wei Linze saw that his lips were red and his face was also red, and asked, "Can't you eat spicy food?"

Josh didn't say a word, nodded after a while, and stretched his chopsticks into the pot again.

Wei Linze tapped the tip of his chopsticks with his chopsticks, "Then what else do you eat?"

He stood up and went into the kitchen, and after a while he came out with two small bowls.

One with water and one with sesame sauce, soy sauce and vinegar.

"Take it out and pass it in the water, and dip it in the seasoning if it doesn't taste good." After Wei Linze finished speaking, he sat across from him again and continued to eat, and even refilled a glass of water for Josh.

After dinner, Wei Linze packed his things into the kitchen.It was quite refreshing to eat hot-boiled mutton on the spot, but the follow-up work was a bit torturous, and it was exhausting to wash the pot and the dishes.

Wei Linze brushed the pot with a steel wool ball in the kitchen, while Josh was filling milk next to the refrigerator. He poured three big boxes at once, and the spicy taste in his mouth didn't ease.

Not only did he not relieve the spicy food, but he also had a tantrum after drinking three boxes of milk in a row at night.

Josh lay on the bed for a long time, his stomach was bloated and uncomfortable, he couldn't sleep because of tossing and turning, so he simply lifted the quilt and sat up.

Only then did he realize that the light was still on in the living room.

It's almost two o'clock.

Wei Linze was sitting by the dining table and typing on his notebook. Josh pushed the door to go out. Wei Linze saw him and yawned. He glanced at the lower right corner of the computer screen and said, "Good morning."

Josh also replied, "Good morning."

Then he pulled the chair across from him and sat down.

"Why are you so late?" Josh asked, resting his chin.

"Lesson preparation, there is a class tomorrow morning."

"Then you don't say it earlier, if you want to, I won't ask you to go shopping."

Wei Linze didn't speak, and typed a few more lines, saying, "Tomorrow is Friday."

Josh thought for a while and said, "Today."

"Oh yes, it's early morning."

Wei Linze pressed the save button and asked Josh, "Do you want to play tennis?"

"Huh?" Josh thought he heard it wrong.

"Tennis." Wei Linze saved the recess in the mailbox and closed his notebook, "I'm going to play tennis tomorrow morning after class, are you going?"

"I won't," Josh said.

"I've just learned it not long ago." Wei Linze took a sip of water. "The second biggest class on Friday morning is the Physical Education College. There is a tennis class. Teacher Yang who teaches tennis has a good relationship with me, so I learn from him."

In fact, Wei Linze doesn't like sports very much, and because of this, Mr. Liu always pushes him to learn penalty kicks.In fact, he said that it is not appropriate to say that he has just studied for a short time. Since he started his Ph.D., Mr. Liu has greeted Mr. Yang. .

"Okay, let's go."

Wei Linze took out two rackets from the room and gave them to Josh, "I have a class in 308 of the Literary Academy tomorrow, and we will go together after class."

"I don't have your contact information yet?" Josh took the racket and said suddenly.

Wei Linze took out his mobile phone, smiled, "Tell me your number."

Josh woke up late the next day.

After opening his eyes, he froze for a moment, and it took him a while to remember that this was Wei Linze's house.

There were steamed stuffed buns and soy milk on the dining table. He touched them, and they were already a little cold. It seemed that Wei Linze had left quite early.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he packed up and went out the door.

It is not far from the family courtyard to the teaching building of the liberal arts college, and it takes less than 10 minutes to walk there. Josh strolled out the door in a white shirt.The clinic downstairs has not opened yet, it seems that Zhang Zhihe has not woken up yet.

The teaching building of the Faculty of Literary Arts is newly built, and the designer didn't know what to think. He turned around and couldn't find 308 no matter what."The way of university, in Mingmingde" was posted in the corridor, and there were some messy display boards. Josh looked at them, and they were all commended by outstanding students. There was a name written at the beginning, Qiao Wang, Chinese class one.

Josh looked at his photo and thought, "It's ugly."

After wandering around the third floor for about ten minutes, he grabbed a girl who had just come down from upstairs and asked, "Student, do you know where 308 is?"

"308? You have to go up to the first floor." The girl hurried away after saying this, very fast.

Josh looked at the small blue sign on the top, this is the third floor, how can 308 go up one floor?

He went up one floor, and the classrooms were indeed written with 410, 411, which is a strange way.

He ran to the third floor again and stopped a girl, "Student..."

Before he finished speaking, he stopped, why is it still that girl?

Josh was taken aback, the girl pushed up her glasses, "Why is it still you?"

"You... you guys are too evil here."

The girl seemed to have come to her senses, and laughed, "Evil door fart... what, it's not evil, I'm going to get dizzy when I come here for the first time, this is the front building, the back building is one floor higher than the front building, you can call 308 You have to go up to the fourth floor."

"Thank you." Josh waved his hand.

Josh found 308 after going through a lot of hardships, and looked in the back door. Wei Linze was turning around to write on the blackboard. When he turned around, Josh didn't care to breathe for a moment.

Wei Linze wore gold-rimmed glasses, and because there was chalk dust on his fingers, he pushed up the glasses with the palm of his hand.

Wei Linze, who was wearing glasses, was quite bluffing, and he was quite airy, more like a gentle scum.

To be honest, Josh is quite envious of those students, this teacher is so eye-catching.

Wei Linze was halfway through the class, watching many people lower their smart heads and stop lecturing.

Such a sudden stop was very abrupt in the classroom, and the students all looked up at him in horror.He glanced a few times, and picked up the roster casually, "It's been half of the class, no matter whether you knew He Zhu before or not, you must know it now, call a classmate to get up and talk about it."

As soon as this sentence was said, even the people in the last few rows raised their heads and looked at Wei Linze dully.

"Student Jiang Wenwen."

The students who were not called all breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Wenwen stood up with a dazed expression and didn't speak for a long time.

Josh took a look, isn't this the female classmate who showed him the way?

Wei Linze kindly reminded her: "Tell me what you know about He Zhu."

Jiang Wenwen went through the name He Zhu in her mind, but she couldn't remember who it was. She looked at Wei Linze's lively expression, and suddenly said, "Yichuan Tobacco, the city is full of wind, plums and yellow rain."

Then he hesitated and couldn't say a word.

Wei Linze smiled and made a gesture of sitting down, and said solemnly: "It seems that classmate Jiang Wenwen knows He Zhu very well."

Jiang Wenwen blushed when she heard the teacher's teasing.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have slipped out to go to the bathroom.

Josh watched Wei Linze tease the students outside, and couldn't help laughing, how could there be such an unsteady teacher.

He looked at the time, it was still early, he turned on the game and played for a while, feeling bored.

Opened WeChat again, entered Wei Linze's mobile phone number, and a name popped up, "Stomach Momoer", what kind of crappy name is that.

As soon as he pressed the friend request, Wei Linze announced the dismissal of get out of class.

After Josh waited for the students to come out, he walked to the front door. As soon as he reached the position where he could see Wei Linze, Qiao Wang took the book and walked to the edge of the podium. Josh took a look, and there were only the two of them left in the classroom.

He turned around and went downstairs, and sent Wei Linze a text message, "Come find me on the first floor."

After waiting on the first floor for a while, someone patted him from behind, and he turned his head and bumped into Jiang Wenwen's big face, "Have you found the classroom yet?"

"You have a deep understanding of He Zhu." Josh smiled meanly with the corners of his mouth raised.

"Damn it, you found it!" Jiang Wenwen quickly added after finishing speaking, "You can't swear, you can't swear."

Before Josh could speak, Jiang Wenwen yelled behind him, "Teacher!"

He thought to himself, whose name is this? Looking back, he realized that it was Wei Linze.

"Student Jiang Wenwen, you have a deep understanding of He Zhu. You slipped out halfway through class." Wei Linze hadn't had time to take off his glasses, and when he talked to Jiang Wenwen with a smile, his eyes shone with the light of a successful tease. Josh clicked his tongue twice, his students were really happy.

"I was going to the bathroom." Jiang Wenwen explained with drooping lips.

"Report to the teacher! She obviously went to the third floor." Josh made a small report seriously on the side.

"I..." Jiang Wenwen was speechless, she gritted her teeth and said, "The toilet on the fourth floor is broken."

Wei Linze laughed, "Okay, I'm not killing chickens to scare monkeys, I'm calling you up to frighten them, let's see if they dare not pay attention to the class in the future."

Jiang Wenwen took over the task of magazine typesetting as soon as she entered school, and she has been familiar with Wei Linze for a long time, and she likes to joke with each other, and Wei Linze also likes to use her as an example in class to warn everyone.

"That means I am willing to dedicate myself to your great educational cause." Jiang Wenwen waved to Wei Linze, "Teacher, please be busy, I'm going back to the dormitory."

Wei Linze nodded.

Josh smiled at her, "Goodbye, Jiang Wenji."

Jiang Wenwen made a face at Josh and ran away.

Josh turned his head again, and Wei Linze had already taken off his glasses.He handed the racket to Wei Linze and asked, "Are you nearsighted?"

"There is one point," Wei Linze said, "mainly because wearing glasses makes you look a little older, and current Chinese students are prejudiced against young teachers."

"Think the young teacher doesn't have enough ink in his stomach? Teacher Mo." Josh winked at him.

Wei Linze took a few glances at him, took out his phone, and smiled when he saw the friend application on the screen, "That's right, in order to let everyone think that I have ink, I changed my name to ink."

Josh's name is clear at a glance, it's called JOSH, and his profile picture is Ergazi with a cold face.
