murmuring

On a scorching summer day, by the open door, the young man's eyebrows and eyes are extremely exquisite, but his expression is stern, making it difficult to get close at first glance.

He was holding the suitcase with one hand, and kept knocking on the door with the other hand, as if he was politely signaling his arrival. There was a bucket by his legs, which contained mats and other sundries, and he carried a large bag on his shoulder. Looking calmly at the surprised expressions of the three: "Hi, I'm Cheng Xi."

Feng Jianning reacted the fastest, and his familiar personality made him always bring his own air-conditioning filtration system. With a big smile on his handsome face, he walked forward briskly: "Hello, I'm Feng Jianing, wow, you're alone Take so many things."

But when he saw Cheng Xi's face, Zhou Mingchen was stunned. It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?The dog owner I met in the corridor that day was his new classmate?Or a roommate?

When he was in a daze, Feng Jianning had already helped Cheng Xi pick up the bucket on the ground, Ma Xiaoyu said hello softly and introduced himself, both of them turned their heads to look at Zhou Mingchen, wondering why he didn't say hello.

Zhou Mingchen came back to his senses, and met Cheng Xi's eyes. They met each other's eyes, and then looked away knowingly.Zhou Mingchen twitched his lips secretly, with a standard toothy smile on his face: "Hi Cheng Xi, I'm Zhou Mingchen, and I'll be a roommate from now on. Please give me your advice."

Cheng Xi glanced at him briefly, then nodded indifferently.I didn't expect to see this person again. Cheng Xi has always been indifferent to irrelevant people and things, but this person has so little to do with Tiaotiao's departure, Cheng Xi can't treat them equally.

Ma Xiaoyu felt that there seemed to be something wrong between the two of them, Zhou Mingchen's "excuse me a lot" was a little strange, and he shook his head secretly denying it, it must be an illusion.

Cheng Xi put down his things and started to work, skillfully soaked the rag and wiped the bed board, looking in order.He happened to be in the bed opposite Zhou Mingchen, fortunately he came later than Zhou Mingchen, otherwise the comparison of the two sides' work would probably be difficult to describe.

Both Feng Jianning and Ma Xiaoyu politely asked if they wanted to help.

Without stopping, Cheng Xi said, "No, thank you, I can do it myself."

The kindness was rejected, Ma Xiaoyu was a little at a loss, as if he had done something wrong and was a little embarrassed.Feng Jianning was amused in his heart, when Xiaoyu's temperament can be changed, it is not embarrassing for people to refuse, but it is embarrassing for those who want to help others.Feng Jianning patted his friend's shoulder reassuringly, and said to Cheng Xi with a smile: "Okay, then you are busy, and if you need help, just tell me."

The originally warm atmosphere cooled several degrees as soon as Cheng Xi came.Cheng Xi himself didn't feel the cooling, but the others couldn't ignore it.

After what happened yesterday, Zhou Mingchen didn't go to Cheng Xi's side.Watching the interaction of several people with cold eyes, Feng Jianning and Ma Xiaoyu are both nice people, but this Cheng Xi has a bit of a weird temper, it's hard to say how he is.But it was true that Cheng Xi said that he could do it. Zhou Mingchen had several people to help, and it took more than an hour for Cheng Xi to sort it out quickly.There were not many clothes in his suitcase, but a lot of books. Cheng Xi seemed to cherish them very much, and wiped them all before putting them away one by one.

At dinner time, Zhou Mingchen had just arrived and didn't know any good places near the school, so he discussed with two roommates where to eat.

Feng Jianning said that the dining hall is not open or not, and the school gate is not closed yet, so it is okay to go out to eat.Ma Xiaoyu said that he can go anywhere, and he has no objection.

Cheng Xi sat on the seat, flipping through the book in his hand, immersed in the world of paper and words, and never heard the conversation of the other three people under the same roof. Even if he heard it, he would not care.

After discussing for a long time, Zhou Mingchen felt that it would be better not to invite people to dinner, it was too dishonest.After making up his mind, he stood up: "Then let's go out to eat, Jianning, do you have any good places to recommend?"

This is leaving?Feng Jianning and Ma Xiaoyu looked at each other, they had already agreed to treat Zhou Mingchen, Feng Jianning and Ma Xiaoyu felt that it would not be good for them to call Cheng Xi together, but it would not be good not to invite Cheng Xi together.But Zhou Mingchen didn't speak for a long time, which embarrassed the two of them. From the corner of his eyes, he drifted towards Cheng Xi from time to time, especially Ma Xiaoyu, who couldn't be more obvious.

Of course Zhou Mingchen had seen it a long time ago. He admitted that he was a little confused. That Cheng Xi was not easy to get in touch with at first glance, and it was a little bit of a feud with him. He really didn't bother to put his hot face on someone's cold ass.

But it really doesn't make sense not to yell, as if he is engaging in a small group to reject him.In the next two years, he will live in a dormitory. Zhou Mingchen has no intention of making the relationship in the dormitory stiff. After much deliberation, he still wants to show his attitude.

"Cheng Xi, we will have dinner together for the first time in our dormitory later, let's go together."

Even so, Zhou Mingchen thought that Cheng Xi would not agree. Anyway, he did what he had to do, and Cheng Xi didn't want to go, so that was not his problem.

Ma Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, his eyes sparkled with anticipation and joy, he turned his head and said happily, "Cheng Xi, let's go together."

Feng Jianning didn't speak, but watched with a smile on his face.This new classmate seemed to be the king of silence everywhere, and he was withdrawn and out of place all over his body. It's hard to say whether he will give face or not.

Cheng Xi turned around, her slightly round red phoenix eyes were hidden under her long eyelashes, and everyone's expressions were captured in her eyes, her expression couldn't tell what she was thinking, but she unexpectedly opened her lips and agreed, "Okay."

Zhou Mingchen raised his eyebrows in surprise, he was a little speechless for a while, and fell silent for a while. Could it be that this person still has some emotional intelligence, so that he is hopeless?

Seeing Zhou Mingchen's stunned expression, a smile appeared on the corner of Cheng Xi's lips. If Ma Xiaoyu hadn't called him excitedly, he hadn't recovered from the book, but he could only vaguely hear his name and "Go!" Two words, Cheng Xi thought it was right to agree, and it was also a mistake.

Ma Xiaoyu cheered directly: "Great, let's go then."

These words just broke the strange atmosphere at this time, and finally 412 dispatched collectively, unanimously decided to have a good meal, and the destination was a small restaurant in the east gate.According to Feng Jianning, the food is relatively clean and tastes good, and it is an old brand.

There were quite a lot of people at the meal time, and the four of us had to wait for a while to get a seat.Several people ordered two dishes each, Zhou Mingchen added two snacks and soup, with a smirk on the corner of his mouth, he urged maliciously: "Let's have some drinks, do you want fruit juice, or beer?"

Zhou Mingchen has tried all kinds of white wine and red wine, but he doesn't particularly like it.At this time, I want to try these three, they are all minors, and they look like good students, they should have never drunk alcohol.There's no booze at a boys' party, as long as you don't get drunk anyway.

Feng Jianning and Ma Xiaoyu glanced at each other, they were eager to try, their parents were strict, they had never touched a drop of wine, and they were somewhat moved by Zhou Mingchen.Looking at Cheng Xi again, he didn't even lift his eyelids, he washed the tableware slowly, without the slightest tension from the attention of everyone, and calmly uttered two words: "Juice."

His unmoved appearance sounded a wake-up call to Feng Jianing and Ma Xiaoyu, and he set a good example. The two regained their senses, and immediately sat upright and asked for juice.Zhou Mingchen secretly regretted that this Cheng Xi was too bad, so he finally ordered a bottle of orange juice and a bottle of coconut juice.

The store served the food very quickly, and the food was delicious and delicious. The four of them had been busy for a long time in the afternoon, and they were hungry at the moment, but they still poured half a glass of juice first and stood up to clink glasses.During the speaking session, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and the last three looked at Zhou Mingchen together.

Zhou Mingchen looked up at the sky, and reluctantly took on the important task of leading the way. After thinking for a while, he said seriously: "Respect fate, we are fortunate to be classmates, roommates, and good brothers in the future."

Feng Jianning grinned at the corner of his mouth, smiling brightly: "Respect fate."

Ma Xiaoyu squinted his eyes and smiled happily: "Respect fate."

Cheng Xi smiled, not quite seeing it: "Respect fate."

The four toasted and drank together, inexplicably proud.

After drinking, Zhou Mingchen couldn't help complaining: "You guys are too uncreative, you all copied me."

Feng Jianning laughed for a while, and said: "Who told you to treat the guests? If the leader does not belong to you, who will belong to you? Don't you say it well? After thinking about it carefully, there is still a taste of friendship in Taoyuan."

Zhou Mingchen raised his eyebrows: "You're still married in Taoyuan. With your sincerity, one of you is lazier than the other, and you can't hold back a few words."

Cheng Xi automatically blocked such unnutritious conversations, so they couldn't enter his ears.

Ma Xiaoyu was fascinated by the delicious food, and couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, Ru Mo's eyes seemed to be shining brightly, staring at the steaming dishes: "You are not hungry, let's eat!"

Feng Jianning and Zhou Mingchen finally remembered the business, smiled and put their chopsticks together.

There is no imaginary silence at the dinner table.

Feng Jianning and Ma Xiaoyu turned into walking encyclopedias, and introduced Xincheng and the school environment to two new classmates based on what they had seen and heard over the past ten years.

Feng Jianning ate with chopsticks and babbled, his words were eloquent and contagious, the English teacher was the most gentle and beautiful, the students all liked her class, the Chinese teacher was a white-haired old man who was very talkative, most of the time in class Talking nonsense, which road has the best barbecue, which alley has a particularly beautiful scenery, and which road is the shortest to go back to school.

Ma Xiaoyu smiled and corrected and supplemented when he occasionally got too excited and missed something, or said something wrong.

Zhou Mingchen was particularly interested in these things, and he forgot about the others when he got excited talking. The problems were one after another. He and Feng Jianning were like singing duets. You said something to each other. At first glance, you thought your old friend hadn't seen him for ten years. The other two looked like neglected yellow-faced women.

Ma Xiaoyu smiled helplessly at Cheng Xi, and whispered to him that the chef here is from Sichuan, and the mapo tofu is authentic, so eat more.Cheng Xi responded with a slight smile, he had read several miscellaneous geography books before, and listening to Feng Jianning and the others talk about the customs of Xincheng, it was not boring but quite interesting.And with Ma Xiaoyu as his companion, he played the role of listener without saying a word, which was not so abrupt.
