Met in early autumn of 2001

It was an evening self-study one day, that night Zhong Yan returned with her husband who was working far away, and as soon as the bell rang for the evening self-study, she left with her small bag and left the canteen to Xu Yichen and Xia Qiang.Xia Qiang waited for Zhong Yanren to leave, then took the radio and went back to their hut, leaving Xu Yichen to watch.

Usually no one comes to buy things during evening self-study, and it is also when Xu Yichen can sit down to catch his breath. He sits on the doorstep, straightens his legs, and beats back and forth on the thigh muscles with his hands, which can relieve fatigue .

Xun Lang walked across the playground from the teaching building alone, and when he went up the stone steps, he saw Xu Yichen sitting at the door.He lowered his head, the slightly long bangs on his forehead covered his face, and Xun Lang's eyes fell on Xu Yichen's feet.

September is coming to an end, and the weather is no longer as muggy as before, and it is cool at night with the wind.Xu Yichen was wearing casual trousers, the trouser legs reaching to the ankles, his bare feet were placed on top of the slippers, swaying with Xu Yichen's tapping movements.Xun Lang stared at the pair of feet that were much smaller than his own, walked forward without making a sound, and stopped in front of Xu Yichen, the shoes were no more than a fist away from Xu Yichen's feet.

"...!" Xu Yichen's knocking stopped, he looked up and saw Xun Lang startled, and somehow he reached out his hand to cover his heart.

Xun Lang put his hands in his trouser pockets, stared deeply at Xu Yichen who was looking up at him, and twitched the corners of his mouth: "So timid?" Or was it just because he was the one who came?

Xu Yichen withdrew his mind, turned his head, put his hands on the doorstep, and was about to stand up.Xu Yichen's slippers were right in front of Xun Lang. He stood up abruptly, and forgot to put on the slippers first. When he got up, he stepped on the upper of the shoes, his body swayed, and he was directly facing Xun Lang. The distance was especially close. .Xun Lang took a tight breath, and consciously took half a step back with his left foot, and took his hands out of his trouser pockets, getting ready to hold Xu Yichen so he wouldn't fall when he "throws himself into his arms".

But in fact, Xu Yichen didn't jump on him, but swayed his body twice and stood firmly, put on slippers on his feet and took two steps back, opened the distance and lowered his head to straighten his crooked clothes.

Xun Lang looked at Xu Yichen in front of him, retracted his retreating left leg, clicked his tongue and walked into the canteen.Xu Yichen pulled his collar, turned around and was about to go to the next room where he and Xia Qiang lived.

Xun Lang seemed to have eyes behind his back. As soon as Xu Yichen took a step, he turned around in the next second, grabbed Xu Yichen's arm suddenly, and stopped him from walking forward.With a dark face, Xun Lang gritted his teeth and asked, "Where are you going?"

Xu Yichen tugged at his arm, but Xun Lang held it tight. He didn't pull it, so he raised his head and frowned at Xun Lang, and said, "I'll call someone."

"What are you calling someone for?"

Xu Yichen was stared at by Xun Lang angrily. He was inexplicably nervous. He couldn't answer Xun Lang's question, so he turned away from looking at him and said in a low voice, "Let go of your hands." Xun Lang grabbed his hand. I don't know how much force I used on my wrist, Xu Yichen felt a little pain.

Xun Lang's expression was still not very good, but he let go of Xu Yichen's hand.Xu Yichen lowered his head and saw that his five fingers were red and clear.

Seeing Xu Yichen frowning and not speaking, Xun Lang leaned against the wall and asked angrily, "What's the matter with you in the past two weeks? Whenever I come, you call others, why can't you be the master and sell things to others? Then you still work here?"

Xu Yichen said in his heart that either he couldn't sell it, or he couldn't sell it to you!

"I'm asking you something!" Xun Lang couldn't get Xu Yichen's answer, so he became angry and spoke a little louder.

Xu Yichen glanced nervously at the hut, for fear that Xun Lang would quarrel Xia Qiang, and that would be hard to say.He turned his head and glared at Xun Lang, his temper also turned up, "Can you speak in a lower voice?"

Xun Lang had been talking for so long and Xu Yichen had been silent, but now he finally reacted.Xun Lang stared at him carefully for a while, only to feel that Xu Yichen's expression when glaring seemed to be a little different from other people's, it seemed more... vivid?Still looking good? !

Thinking about it, Xun Lang's anger subsided a little.

Xu Yichen looked at the hut, and then looked back at Xun Lang.Xun Lang raised his eyebrows when he saw him turn around.Xu Yichen was very conflicted in his heart, but in the end he decided to follow his nature.He turned and walked into the canteen, and said to Xun Lang, "Come in."

Xun Lang followed Xu Yichen's eyes to look at the hut, then turned around and entered the canteen.

Xu Yichen pushed open the partition and walked in, glanced at Xun Lang, and asked, "What do you want?"

Seeing that Xu Yichen was finally willing to serve him without calling others, Xun Lang's anger immediately dissipated.He smiled handsomely, changed his expression when he was staring at people with a black face, looked at the counter and shelves, and finally turned his eyes back to Xu Yichen's face.

Xu Yichen felt a little uncomfortable being watched by him, so he asked again.

Xun Lang said: "I didn't eat at night, so you give me something to eat."

When Xu Yichen heard that Xun Lang actually asked him to choose, he was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "You should choose yourself, I don't know what you like to eat."

Xun Lang already knew that Xu Yichen would say that, so he waved his hand: "You choose what you like."

Xu Yichen looked at Xun Lang speechlessly, but Xun Lang smiled handsomely at him.Xu Yichen felt that Xun Lang was very inexplicable, he was holding his hand angrily just now, but now he smiled at him.

Xu Yichen ignored Xun Lang, turned around and went to get some things from the shelf, and stooped to get some things from under the counter.Xun Lang kept looking at him, not caring what he took.Of course, Xu Yichen couldn't really give him his favorite food like Xun Lang joked, but he really didn't just take it casually, but took out all the ones that Xun Lang bought more frequently recently.

After Xu Yichen stopped, Xun Lang glanced at the dozen or so kinds of food on the counter, without blinking his eyes, and didn't think about whether he could eat so many things, so he just took out his wallet.Seeing his action, Xu Yichen twitched the corner of his mouth, and pushed back the red note Xun Lang handed over with his hand.

Xun Lang looked at him with raised eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

Xu Yichen took a deep breath, picked up the same food at hand, and held it up in front of Xun Lang: "This is peanut beans, and this pack is one yuan and five."

Xun Lang looked at the peanuts in Xu Yichen's hand, and nodded in confusion.Seeing him nodding, Xu Yichen put down the peanut beans and picked up another bottle of drink: "This one costs two yuan and five dollars." After speaking, he changed it again.

Just like that, Xu Yichen told the unit price of every item he brought out, and Xun Lang didn't have any expression on his face after listening to him.

Xu Yichen stared at Xun Lang, and asked him with a serious expression, "How much do you remember?"

There was no expression on Xun Lang's face, he shrugged and said, "I remember everything."

In order to prove that he really remembered it, Xun Lang repeated it again, matching the price and food, and he finally said the total price.Xu Yichen pursed his lips and looked at him, Xun Lang hooked the corners of his mouth, feeling a little complacent, and handed him the red note that Xu Yichen pushed back just now.

Xu Yichen took it this time, and returned the change to Xun Lang.Xun Lang smiled, and put it in his wallet without even looking at it.Xu Yichen gritted his teeth, reached up and held down Xun Lang's movements.

Xun Lang stared at the hand that was pressing him, it was much whiter than his own, and the five fingers were also distinct.He raised his head, and saw Xu Yichen frowning, as if he was still a little angry.

"what happened?"

Xu Yichen withdrew his hand: "You count the money before putting it back!"

Xun Lang didn't quite understand Xu Yichen's actions just now and now, but according to his intention, he counted them before putting them back.Xu Yichen put his hand on the counter and stared at Xun Lang: "In the future, can you ask the price when you buy things, and remember to count the money when others ask you?"

Xun Lang raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

Xu Yichen was taken aback by his rhetorical question.Why?Isn't this basic common sense in life? !The man also asked him why? !

In fact, Xun Lang couldn't be blamed for this. In his opinion, to be able to do business in the school, he should have a basic reputation, so there would be no problems. That's why he didn't ask the price of the things and didn't count the money.He didn't know that Zhong Yan and Xia Qiang were the only ones who treated them that way.

Seeing Xu Yichen's staring eyes, which looked quite cute, Xun Lang couldn't help grinning, nodded and said, "All right!"

Xu Yichen saw that he agreed, so he took a bag and packed all the things. Xun Lang carried it to the door, walked two steps and then backed away.

Xu Yichen looked at him puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Xun Lang clicked his tongue: "May I know why you asked me to do that?"

Xu Yichen shook his head: "No!"

Xun Lang stared at Xu Yichen for a long time before turning around and leaving.When Xu Yichen saw him leave, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.He did this in the hope that Xun Lang would have a better understanding, so that he would not be taken advantage of by Zhong Yanxia in the future.

But...Xu Yichen didn't expect that Xun Lang didn't take his words to heart at all. Shopping was the same as before, and he didn't ask the price without counting the money.

Seeing him like that, Xu Yichen was very angry, and immediately put Xun Lang in the group of rich and powerful people who can't teach children.
