Holidays always end in such a hurry. Few of the students who had classes on Tuesday morning had a sunny face, and half of them dragged their bodies and reluctantly walked to the classroom.

Yuan Mu sat in the last row of the classroom, watching the students come in from the back door in groups or alone, many of them were still awake, and asked Sheng Fengshi next to him: "Is the university very hard?"

The counselor sat at the end, and the students naturally leaned forward, and the last three rows were abnormally empty.Sheng Fengshi replied: "If you mean that they struggle with temptation for a long time - yes, it is very hard."

Zou Qi came in together, Zou Qi was talking happily, when she saw Sheng Fengshi and Yuan Mu, she said to her roommates, walked over and said, "Hello, Teacher Sheng, Hello, Teacher Yuan Mu."

"Hello." Sheng Fengshi nodded with a smile.

Yuan Mu saw Zou Qi again after a few days, and he was very kind in his heart, and asked with a smile, "Did you enjoy your holiday?"

"Happy! It's fun when there are many people. I even bought you a small gift, but I forgot to bring it today, so I'll bring it to you later."

"Thank you." Yuan Mu was speechless, looking at Sheng Fengshi.

Sheng Fengshi said: "Zou Qi, Yang Wanxin seems to be looking for you, so go over there."

"Oh, I'll go then." Zou Qi waved her hand.

Sheng Fengshi asked, "You don't have a gift for her?"

"No. I carved a little wooden figure in her image, and I plan to give it to her after I tell her."

"What about the bookmark, didn't you make one more for her?"

"The bookmark is for you." Even though there was no one around, Yuan Mu whispered this sentence, Sheng Fengshi held back for a few seconds, turned his face away, and curled his lips.

When the class bell rang, Sheng Fengshi opened her notebook and entered the working state. Yuan Mu didn't disturb her, but also opened the notebook to write a few words from time to time.When the students who came late came in and saw them, they all tucked their tails and quickly ran to their seats and sat down. They kept their backs straight throughout the class, not daring to be distracted, lest they be called to talk after class.

But after the first period, Sheng Fengshi took Yuan Mu away directly, and the students were all relieved, probably because students are afraid of the teacher because of habit.

Back in the office, Sheng Feng Shikong sat for a long time, the work was in front of him but he didn't move, his mind was always restless.As soon as they met this morning, she felt that Yuan Mu's mood was a little low, but until now, Yuan Mu didn't mean to say anything. Sheng Fengshi looked at Yuan Mu several times, but Yuan Mu didn't notice it.

"What happened?" Sheng Fengshi took the initiative to ask, and said in his heart: This is to start work as soon as possible.

"Huh?" Yuan Mu looked at Sheng Fengshi, stunned for a while, his shoulders sank, "The bookmark is broken."

"broken?"

"Well, the leaves are too tender and have a lot of moisture. Dry leaves are generally used to make bookmarks. I tried a new method, but failed." Yuan Mu didn't explain in detail, and Sheng Fengshi couldn't understand the explanation, and the result was more important.

Sheng Fengshi nodded: "Did you bring any other leaves?"

"Yes, I brought two spare pieces. The carpentry workshop has ready-made materials. When I go back at noon, I will ask others to see if there is any other way."

Sheng Fengshi asked, "Can you give me a piece?"

Yuan Mu: "If you don't process it, you can't keep it fresh. The leaves will wilt and dry up."

"It does not matter, I do not mind."

But Yuan Mu minded: "This is the first gift I give you, I want to keep it for a long time."

"I'll always keep it, even if it's ugly and broken, I'll keep it."

Hearing Sheng Fengshi's firm words, Yuan Mu was suddenly deeply moved.

"You like me?"

"Bring the leaves in the afternoon."

Sheng Fengshi lowered his head and no longer made eye contact with Yuan Mu.

Yuan Mu thought that Sheng Fengshi was actually a very warm person, because every time she approached her, she would feel warm in her heart.

In the afternoon, Yuan Mu brought a tender green leaf, the size of a palm, intact and flat, very cute, packed in a simple small wooden box.Sheng Fengshi pinched the leaf handle with his right thumb and index finger and lifted it upside down, looked at it from both sides, and said to Yuan Mu who was standing in front of the desk, "It's very beautiful."

The corner of Yuan Mu's mouth curled up.

Sheng Fengshi asked, "Return the box to you?"

"No, you keep the leaves."

Sheng Fengshi's thoughts turned, and he held up the box with his left hand: "What's the point?"

Yuan Mu didn't expect Xiaosi to be seen through so quickly, and said truthfully, "This is the first box I made, and I will give it to you together."

The small wooden box is well-formed, without any patterns, and Sheng Fengshi also likes it in his heart, thinking that he will accept one or two, so he nodded: "Thank you."

"Are you going to class?"

"Well, what's the matter?"

Yuan Mu clenched his hands at his sides, "Can I go with you?"

"why?"

"Zhao Ge said that he would go to class with Mr. Yu and click on the ppt. He said it's not difficult, as long as he can look at it." Seeing Sheng Fengshi's questioning eyes, Yuan Mu explained, "I met him on campus after get off work at noon. "

"Did he ask you first, or did you ask him first?"

"He asked me if I had nothing to do, and I asked him what the assistant can do."

Sheng Fengshi nodded, she was just worried that Yuan Mu would be embarrassed, although intellectually she knew that Zhao Ge didn't have the guts.

Yuan Mu mustered up the courage to ask again: "Can I go to class with you?"

Sheng Fengshi knocked on the table: "Yuan Mu, you are not a real teaching assistant, this status is temporary, remember."

"I just want to do something for you."

"I don't need help at work."

Yuan Mu nodded: "I'll wait for your return."

When it's a good time, I don't listen to it, I pack my things and go to class.

As if stepping on the spot, after Sheng Fengshi walked for 10 minutes, Yao Ruoyu came to the door.

"Hello."

"I went to class every now and then, right? I asked her about it last time I had dinner with her."

"Yes. Do you drink water?"

"No need." Yao Ruoyu sat on the loveseat sofa and patted the side, "Come and sit, Teacher Sheng is not here, so feel free. I don't think you have any work to do, the table is so clean."

There were only the two of them in the office, and it was really inappropriate for her to sit so far away, so Yuan Mu took the water glass and walked over.

"Hey, wait, don't go that way, come and sit next to me. Do you ask the students to sit on the small sofa when you talk to the students? It's easier to get closer when you sit and talk, right?"

Yuan Mu ignored her obstruction, sat down and said, "I like this sofa."

Yao Ruoyu deliberately teased her, and moved closer: "Then can I sit over?"

Yuan Mu shook his head.

"I just want to sit here, if you don't want to, move your little sofa away?"

Yuan Mu didn't want to have such a naive conversation, and asked, "You didn't come to me to talk about these things, did you?"

"You're wrong. I really wanted to say this. After eating, I suddenly remembered that I have class this afternoon, so I stopped by to see you."

"By the way?"

"Uh... It's not going well. Well, I'll make a special trip to chat with you, okay?"

"Okay. But if you chat with me, you're not happy, and I'm not happy either."

"I am willing to be nüè."

Yuan Mu understood, nodded and said, "So that's the case. I thought you were talking to me on purpose, and wanted to tell you that you can just say it directly."

Yao Ruoyu is now a little used to being choked, and quickly recovered: "I like to talk like this, you can hear it, well, it doesn't matter if you don't hear it. You can listen to me how I say."

"Then tell me." Yuan Mu had never met such a person before, so he didn't know.

Yao Ruoyu's interest was still high: "Do you know who I have lunch with?"

"do not know."

"The blind date, an employee of a foreign company, is one of the best conditions I have ever met."

"Oh."

"Do you know about blind dates? You are young, so you probably haven't had this kind of experience yet."

"I know. No."

"It will be in a few years."

Yuan Mu disagreed in his heart, in order not to hit Yao Ruoyu, he drank his saliva and remained silent.

"Hey? Yuan Mu, have you ever thought about what kind of person you will marry in the future?"

"No."

"Didn't you think about it when you were a child?"

"No."

Yao Ruoyu was annoyed: "Can't you say something more? No, and then, why not?"

"Because I like someone."

"Is there someone you like? Or do you prefer to be alone? Make it clear."

Yuan Mu was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said, "I like to be alone. Now I have someone I like." After speaking, remembering Yao Ruoyu's complaint just now, Yuan Mu added: "The person I like is Teacher Sheng."

"I know this." Yao Ruoyu continued the previous topic of marriage and asked, "What about your family? Have your parents urged you? They always want you to get married, right? If you still want to live alone after a few years, your family will put pressure on you , have you thought about what to do?"

Yuan Mu said: "If my father gives me advice, I will listen, if he puts pressure on me, I will not listen. I believe he will not give me pressure. Why? Because my parents divorced, my father said to me However, his own life has been stumbling, and he has no ability to guide my life. I have to decide what kind of life I want to live. He knows that it is difficult for me to integrate into the group, and he respects me very much.”

"What about your mother?"

"She died."

Yao Ruoyu was half sympathetic and half guilty: "I'm sorry."

"no need to say sorry."

Yuan Mu didn't have a deep impression of his mother, and mentioning this was just sentimental, not grief.

Yao Ruoyu was silent for a few seconds, and changed the topic to a lighter one: "Your family is from the countryside, right? I didn't expect your father to be so open-minded."

Yuan Mu pointed out: "I think my father is open-minded, and it has nothing to do with my family being from the countryside."

"...You're right." Yao Ruoyu couldn't help but reflect, she had just been away from work for a while, and her speaking level plummeted.

Yuan Mu drinks water.

"So now you still decide to live alone in the future?"

Yuan Mu put down his water glass, frowned, he didn't need to decide to live alone, this is the natural state, the decision is who he wants to live with.But explaining these things to Yao Ruoyu is unnecessary, Yuan Mu simply saved his mind: "I have other considerations."

"What consideration?"

"It's a private matter."

Yao Ruoyu stretched out her hand: "Okay, don't ask."

Yuan Mu thought to himself, the chat is almost over here.

Yao Ruoyu: "Let me ask another question. Does your 'other consideration' have anything to do with timing? Okay, I understand your expression now. I won't ask about personal matters."

After she finished speaking, Yuan Mu remained silent.

"Did you eat in the afternoon and Fengshi? What is shaking your head? You were rejected, or didn't ask?"

"did not ask."

"When she comes back, you can ask. If she refuses, you can go to dinner with me, okay?"

Yuan Mu wants to have dinner with Sheng Fengshi.With Yao Ruoyu around, Yuan Mu wanted to have dinner with Sheng Fengshi even more. Yao Ruoyu talked too much, and Yuan Mu didn't feel disgusted in his heart, but he was a little scared.Getting along with Yao Ruoyu is like having a ball of fire circling around trying to get closer. Yuan Mu is dazzled by the sight even though he has a barrier around him which is very safe.In a word: tired.

But apart from Sheng Fengshi, Yuan Mu would feel the loss of physical strength when getting along with anyone, at least Yao Ruoyu was a friend of Sheng Fengshi, Yuan Mu was willing to bear the tiredness to communicate with Yao Ruoyu.

"it is good."

Yuan Mu thought silently: I hope Teacher Sheng agrees to have dinner with us today.
