nine year itch

Meng Chuan said to Youqing with blazing eyes: "Youqing, in fact, I have always had a good impression of you."

Youqing obviously didn't understand the implication of Meng Chuan's affection, he still looked at Meng Chuan with a smile in his eyes.He also has a good impression of the man in front of him who is both a teacher and a friend.

"Youqing, actually from the first time I saw you, I knew we were the same kind. And you are my favorite type. If you are still single now, I will definitely pursue you without hesitation. "Meng Chuanrao stared at Youqing with interest, observing his expression carefully.

Youqing thought for a long time before realizing what Meng Chuan was talking about.Youqing's face turned red all of a sudden, and he looked around in a panic, afraid that someone would hear their conversation.Fortunately, there were not many people in the store, and the waiters were also busy at the console, and no one seemed to notice the two of them.

Youqing stammered, "Meng, Mr. Meng, I don't understand what you're talking about."

Seeing his denial, Meng Chuan smiled and said, "Youqing, you don't have to lie to me. I saw him driving to pick you up before, and your tall and handsome boyfriend driving a sports car is really eye-catching. "

Youqing bit her lip and lowered her head.Meng Chuan said loudly again: "Of course, it is not a gentleman to win someone's love. Although the two of us have no relationship in love, I hope that the two of us can become good friends."

Friends, Youqing's heart moved when he heard this.Since he was a child, he has never had any friends because of his poor family.When he was a little older, in order to hide his orientation, he didn't have a deep relationship with anyone.It can be said that Gu Ze is the center of his current world and the whole of his life.

Meng Chuan said again: "People like us are a minority group. If we are not united with each other, how can we eliminate the prejudice against us from the outside world. I am 35 years old this year, and I am eight years older than you. My parents and close friends came out. Of course it was hard for them to accept it at first, but they gradually accepted it.”

"I have already gone through all the pain and struggle you are going through so far. So I believe that I can still be your guide on this road." Meng Chuan's words are reasonable, and every word hits broke Youqing's heart.

He really admired the man in front of him, he was so brave and magnanimous.It would be great if one day I could live in the sun without fear like him.Life is only a few decades in a hurry, and he also wants to live it to his will.

"So I hope that we can become good friends who can talk to each other. We can talk about the world and talk about wine. And we are still colleagues. I believe that in this field, I can also give you some pointers."

"What do you think, Youqing." Knowing that these words had entered the other party's heart, Meng Chuan looked at Youqing with a confident smile.

Youqing looked up at Meng Chuan, with a little shyness and a little joy on his face.For the first time he had a friend, one from whom he didn't have to hide all of himself.And this friend is still so good, and also appreciates himself.This feeling is really wonderful. For the first time, he felt the nourishment of friendship to life.

Youqing nodded and said, "Teacher Meng, I am very happy to be your friend."

Meng Chuan said with a smile: "From now on, you can call me Meng Chuan, or Lao Meng. Don't be polite between us friends."

Afterwards, the dishes were served, and Meng Chuan carefully explained to Youqing the recipe and origin of each dish.Although Youqing was not used to those dishes, but just listening to Meng Chuan's eloquent talk, he felt that it had a special flavor.

After eating, the two continued to sit and chat about work matters.Although most of the time Meng Chuan was straight-talking, Youqing listened attentively.

Meng Chuan is indeed an experienced old teacher. The way of educating children is much smarter than himself.At the end, I heard that Youqing was completely bowed down, admiring and admiring.

The two of them chatted and forgot the time, and looked at their watches, it was almost eleven o'clock.Youqing hurriedly said that it was time to go back.Meng Chuan didn't drink today, so he said he would send him back after dinner.

Hearing Youqing's home address, Meng Chuan couldn't help boasting: "Your little boyfriend is really young and promising." After hearing this, Youqing blushed and smiled.Meng Chuan sent Youqing to the gate of the community, and then drove home by himself.

When Youqing entered the house, Gu Ze was already sitting in the living room with a dark face. Seeing Gu Ze like this, Youqing suddenly felt panicked.

"Why did you come back later than me?" Gu Ze asked sharply.

"You, you didn't mean to have dinner with your friends, I, I will also have dinner with my friends." Youqing whispered timidly.

When Gu Ze heard this, he became even angrier. He dragged him onto the sofa, pinched Youqing's chin with his hand and said angrily, "Friend? When did you have a friend?"

Youqian said with a pale face, "That's right, it's the teacher of the school." Hearing this, Gu Ze's anger subsided a little.

"What teacher, male teacher, female teacher?"

"All, all." Looking at the hostility on Gu Ze's face, Youqing couldn't help but lied.After he finished speaking, he felt extremely regretful. He lied to Gu Ze. This was the first time he lied to Gu Ze.

But he absolutely did not dare to tell Gu Ze the truth.If a person like Gu Ze who possesses Yuu very much knows that he is eating alone with Meng Chuan tonight, Meng Chuan also expressed his appreciation for him, and the two of them have become some kind of heart-to-heart friends, and they may explode again tonight A violent quarrel.

When Gu Ze heard this, his face softened a little.After all, Youqing is also a newcomer in school, and he has an introverted personality. If he doesn't get along with everyone as soon as possible, maybe someone will show him embarrassment and let him wear small shoes.

Gu Ze let go of Youqing, and then said without a doubt: "In the future, if you have a party at your school, you must tell me in advance. Also, don't come back so late again, do you hear me?"

Youqing nodded hurriedly, then went back to the bedroom to make the bed.

It seems that I should not take the initiative to communicate with Meng Chuan frequently.Although he really wanted to have a heart-to-heart friend, talk about the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys that Gu Ze brought to him, and talk about the unsatisfactory work and life.But he was also afraid that after Gu Ze found out, the war of the century would break out between the two of them.

Fortunately, Meng Chuan never contacted him again. Seeing that it was going to be April again, it was raining heavily during the Ching Ming Festival.

Youqing decided to go back to his hometown to visit the grave.After graduating from university, I have never been back to Shaanxi, and I have not been back home for five years.This year he was very lucky to stay in Xi'an, and he also wanted to go home to visit, although there are no relatives there anymore.

He wanted to stay a few more days when he went home this time, so he asked the school for two more days off.Gu Ze heard that he was going home to visit the grave, so he said to go back with him.

Xi'an is about four hours' drive from Youqing's county seat, and Gu Ze drove there in his white off-road vehicle.

The two set off early in the morning. Along the way, Youqing looked at the rolling Qinling Mountains outside the window and felt a little lost in thought.

At about two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the car had already entered their county town.The county town has not changed much from five years ago, but it seems that some houses have been refreshed, and some places have followed the example of the city and built tall buildings with more than [-] floors.

Youqing searched for memories, and finally found their dilapidated old building.Most of the people in the building have already moved out, only some elderly people who are in their dying years are left.This house is the only inheritance left by Youqing's grandfather to his father.It is also the only inheritance left to him by Youqing's father.

There were no lights in the corridor and it was dark, so Gu Ze staggered up to the sixth floor of the top floor with the flashlight on.

Youqing took out the rusty key, and poked the keyhole on the mottled wooden door for a long time, but it didn't work.

"I'll do it." Gu Ze took the key, pushed against the keyhole, pushed and bumped the door open.The smell of ashes made the two of them cough continuously.

As soon as you walk in, you will be greeted with familiar memories.There are still a few tattered New Year pictures pasted on the pitted concrete wall.

How many years have I spent eating on that short table and stool by myself and doing my homework.And that small wooden bed, when my father didn't go out to work when I was a child, I slept on it with myself.

Although Gu Ze knew about Youqing's family background, he didn't expect it to be so poor.There is only one room in the whole house, and all the belongings can be seen at a glance.A wooden bed, a cabinet, a low wooden table, and two small wooden benches.The kitchen has only a small window hole, the bathroom has no windows and is a dark room, and there is no other electrical appliances in the house except for a broken fan.

As soon as Gu Ze entered the door, he quickly opened the only relatively large window to let the whole room breathe.Youqing also went downstairs to a nearby store to buy some cleaning supplies such as brooms and mops, wanting to clean the room.

Gu Ze sat on the bed and played with his mobile phone, while Youqing was busy cleaning all the places that could be cleaned.While cleaning, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the flushing of the squatting toilet was still good.

It's almost dark outside when the work is done.

"Have you packed it up? Let's go eat. I'm starving to death." Gu Ze said impatiently.

"Well, let's go down to eat now." Youqing said while lifting up the garbage bag.

"Your small place, I can't even search for a hotel near me. How are we going to stay at night?" Gu Ze asked while flicking his phone.

Youqing thought for a while and said, "We'll just live here, and I just cleaned up too."

Looking at the small dark room, Gu Ze frowned and said, "How do you live here? There's no quilt here."

"Let's go down and buy some. I saw that there were quilts for sale in the place where I bought the broom just now.

Gu Ze raised his eyebrows and looked at Youqing, feeling that he had already been arranged by him, so it was clear that the white board was upright.

There are not many restaurants in the small county, and the only one that is open at the moment is selling cold skin meat buns.
