nine year itch

Come to the school in Xi'an for an exchange, and Youqing's daily life is to listen in class.

He thinks the teacher surnamed Luo is the one who speaks the best. Although Teacher Luo is usually very strict with students, he is humorous and relaxed in class. It is not boring to listen to the 45-minute class all the time, and students seldom wander off. .

He admires this type of teacher very much.Although I am serious and meticulous in my lectures, I am not charming enough in class.Mathematics is a number game if you speak it well, but it becomes boring if you speak it poorly.

Sure enough, it was right to come out to study and communicate. I stayed in the small county town of Burqin, thinking that I was really a good teacher.My own chicken head can barely be regarded as a phoenix tail when I get it here.

The days passed day by day, until Liu Yu sent a message about the party.

"Six o'clock on Saturday night, Shengde Restaurant, banquet hall on the third floor." Liu Yu sent a text message when he got off work on Friday.

Youqing sat on the seat, holding the phone tightly, and didn't move for a long time.Although he was ready to go to the appointment, it was obvious that as the day came, he was timid and backed down.

"Mr. Xiaoyou, I'll go first. Remember to turn off the lights and lock the door."

"…Ah good."

Only then did Youqing realize that all the teachers had left, and he was the only one left in the office.

Youqing didn't have much appetite, didn't eat dinner, and went back to the teacher's dormitory directly.

That night he tossed and tossed until midnight before barely falling asleep. Although he fell asleep, he kept dreaming.

The dream was full of the past in high school, the whispers of the classmates, looking at his secretive eyes, he was crying alone in the empty classroom.

Then the camera zoomed in sharply and fell on a handsome and familiar face, who smiled softly at himself, standing quietly in the snowy night.

Waking up the next day, Youqing felt that she had fallen asleep that night, but it seemed like she hadn't slept, her whole body was a little tired and her head was swollen and aching.

After washing up slowly, he went to the cafeteria to have lunch, and then took a nap in the afternoon, barely feeling refreshed.

Youqing arrived at the banquet hall a little after six o'clock. He had never been here before, and he found it after asking several passers-by.At that time, most of the classmates came, and Liu Yu had already arrived.

"Youqing, you are here, welcome." Liu Yu warmly came to the door to greet Youqing.

The eyes of the people who were chatting fieryly also focused on Youqing, making him wish he could find a crack in the ground to sneak in.

"Also, hello, classmates." You Qing stammered for a moment, he was most unaccustomed to speaking in such an environment where everyone was watching.

Logically speaking, as a teacher, he spends much more time speaking on stage than ordinary people every day.But facing a group of innocent and immature children, and a group of complex and sophisticated adults, this feeling is completely different.

"Youqing, I haven't seen you in how many years."

"Yes, I heard that you are a teacher now, not bad."

With the warm greetings and concern from everyone on the opposite side, Youqing could only sit in a chair at a loss, smiling awkwardly and uneasy.

Simply everyone's attention stayed on Youqing for a moment, and was taken away by the first climax of the banquet

It turned out that Teacher Wang, the head teacher, came.

All of a sudden, the students walked over to greet him enthusiastically and greeted him loudly, especially those students who were quite proud of being a class committee member before.

Nine years have passed, and Mr. Wang has changed from a capable middle-aged man to a kind old man with gray hair.

Suddenly someone said something: "Mr. Wang, among us, now Youqing has inherited your mantle."

All of a sudden, the audience's attention and Teacher Wang's attention were all focused on Youqing again.

Youqing blushed and said, "I, I am not as good as Teacher Wang."

"Hey, Youqing, you are the only teacher among my classmates. I should retire when I am old, and I will leave the important task of cultivating the flowers of the motherland to you." Teacher Wang said half-jokingly and half-heartedly.

"Hey, old Wangtou said it well. Without his hard work and teaching, we wouldn't be able to grow as we are today." Some students applauded loudly, and everyone also toasted Teacher Wang.

For a while, everyone was drinking and drinking, and the cups collided.

"Sorry everyone, I have something to do with the company, I'm late." A magnetic male voice sounded, and then a man in a suit and leather shoes walked gracefully into the banquet hall.

It was Gu Ze who came, and the classmate reunion set off a second wave of climax.

Youqing's heart was also pounding.He seems to have grown taller and stronger than when he was in school, but his facial features are still so striking.But the temperament of the whole person has changed from a rebellious and handsome boy to a mature and stable handsome man.

"Gu Ze, you brat is here too. You were late and early every day when you were in school." Teacher Wang joked strangely.

"Mr. Wang, long time no see, you are still in such a strong body. How about this, I will punish myself with three cups." After finishing speaking, Gu Ze picked up the wine noodles and downed three cups without changing his expression.

"Mr. Gu, you can drink a lot!" Gu Ze's unrestrained and crisp movements drew applause from the crowd.

After Gu Ze took a seat beside Teacher Wang, some classmates wanted to toast him, and Gu Ze drank them all.

"Gu Ze, you are well-off now, don't forget about your wealth!" said a classmate who was toasting.

"Haha, you couldn't recite a complete text when you were in high school, but you can speak it fluently now!" The students around started laughing again.

Youqing watched the students circle around Gu Ze enthusiastically one by one, as if she didn't feel right if she didn't go up and say a few polite words.

Youqing was silent in the corner, he tried his best to minimize his presence and kept his head down while eating.

Although he was not sitting at Gu Ze's table and was far away from him, he always felt that Gu Ze's gaze was cast towards him vaguely, which made him very nervous but he didn't dare to look up.

The dishes are almost eaten, and everyone has warmed up and chatted. Next, it's time for the students to toast each other.

Everyone got up from their seats one after another. Those who played well in high school, those who had flirtations, those who had crushes, those who had feuds, and those who had fights all had to toast each other.

Youqing had already drank several glasses of toasts from his classmates, and he was so drunk that he returned to his seat in a daze, and continued to sit in the corner by himself, as if he had nothing to do with the hustle and bustle in front of him.

Suddenly a pair of slender legs stood in front of her, Youqing raised her head in a daze.

It's Gu Ze.

Gu Ze held a crystal clear wine glass with his slender fingers, and looked at Youqing with a smile.

"Youqing, I offer you a toast." After finishing speaking, he stared at Youqing with a smile, while gulping it down heartily.

Youqing looked at his rolling Adam's apple in a daze, how could he let Gu Ze toast.

He hastily picked up his wine glass, ready to pay back.

Gu Ze grabbed his hand and said, "Youqing, don't be too polite with me."

Youqing's hand seemed to be scalded, and she hastily pulled it back from Gu Ze's hand.

After that, Gu Ze was surrounded by a group of classmates again.

Gu Ze was like the center of a circle, and everyone seemed to be dancing around like a little bear. Wherever he went, there was a circle to toast in turn.

Youqing didn't drink well, drank a few more glasses of wine in a daze, then fell sleepily on the table.

It was eleven o'clock when he woke up, and he was the only one left in the banquet hall.He looked around in a daze. The tables were messed up, and the banquet hall was so quiet that a pin could be heard, as if the din of people just now had never existed.

He rubbed his head and stood up unsteadily.

"Hey, take it easy." Gu Ze saw Youqing swaying when he came in after paying the bill, and hurried over to hold his shoulder.

"Gu, Gu Ze, you didn't leave either." You Qing said in surprise.

"I'll pay the bill, of course I'll be the last one to leave." Gu Ze said as a matter of course.

"How much is it for one person?" Youqing said as he was about to take out the wallet in his arms.

"I'm treating you today. I haven't seen my old classmates for nine years. I want to show my heart." Gu Ze said with a smile.

Hearing this, Youqing slowly stuffed the wallet back.

Gu Ze supported him and walked out of the restaurant.

It is cold and windy in Xi'an in January.Youqing shivered from the wind, and was half awake from the wine.

Only then did he suddenly realize that the two of them were in an overly intimate posture, so he quickly escaped from Gu Ze's arms and stood on the spot by himself.

"I'll ask the driver to take you home first." Gu Ze opened the car door.

"No, no need, I'll take a taxi by myself, it's not far away." You Qing waved his hand.

"Youqing, you don't have to be so polite with me." Gu Ze smiled helplessly: "It's so cold at night, and you're drunk again, how can I feel relieved when I go back alone."

After all, he stuffed the person into the car involuntarily.

"Mr. Gu, where are we going first?" The driver was a middle-aged driver.

"Youqing, where do you live?"

"Next to Taoli Middle School."

The two of them didn't speak during the journey, Youqing leaned sleepily on the soft and comfortable sheepskin seat.

Although no one was looking at him, he always felt that there was a line of sight on him all the time, but he was too drunk and sleepy to pursue it.

Gu Ze, who was sitting next to him, had deep and motionless eyes at this moment, and he was staring at Youqing through the rearview mirror.

It was almost noon when you woke up the next morning, and Youqing felt a splitting headache and a swollen throat.But Xin Hao today is Sunday, so he doesn't have to go to work.

He turned on the phone, and inexplicably saw a missed call from Shenzhen, Guangdong on the phone.

After he finished washing, the phone rang again, and it was the same number.

It's not a scam call.Youqing pressed it.

After a while, the call from that number came again, Youqing thought for a while and pressed to answer.

"Youqing? Is that you?" Gu Ze's voice was actually on the opposite side.

"Yes, it's me."

"Why did you hang up on me just now, I almost thought I made a wrong call." Gu Ze's voice was a little displeased.

"Yes, I'm sorry." Hearing Youqing's words, the other party laughed on the other end of the phone.

"Youqing, why are you still the same as when you were a child?"

Youqing was silent.

"Do you remember what the first sentence you said to me was sorry."

Of course Youqing remembered.

He kept all the details of getting along with Gu Ze in his heart, and buried them in the deepest part of his memory.He didn't dare to take it out and look through it casually, but he never forgot the details.
