42 ten

When we were in the car, the showers started to rain again, and when we got off the car, the rain had already thickened. Sheng Fengshi and Yuan Mu each held an umbrella, and said goodbye at the unsheltered place next to the bus station.The street lamp was on, and the rain that passed under the lamp was briefly imprinted with light, and then returned to ordinary, quietly rowing towards the umbrella, making a final soft sound: "Tap!"

Yuan Mu asked: "The weather forecast says it will rain tomorrow. If it rains, can we still meet tomorrow?"

"It's gone when it rains."

Yuan Mu asked, "What if I want to come see you?"

"Then you come."

"Okay!" Yuan Mu said, "I'll come tomorrow afternoon."

"Ah."

Yuan Mu asked: "Can I bring vegetables?"

Sheng Fengshi: "Bring vegetables? What kind of food?"

Yuan Mu said: "Vegetables, edible vegetables. And meat."

Sheng Fengshi asked, "Do you want to cook by yourself?"

Yuan Mu: "Is it possible?"

"Isn't it delicious to cook?"

"I want you to eat richer food." Yuan Mulai ate tomato and egg noodles twice, and she had reason to suspect that Sheng Feng always dealt with it when he was alone at home.

"Is your cooking delicious?" Sheng Fengshi also had doubts about Yuan Mu, Yuan Mu was so young, it didn't look like he was good at cooking.

In terms of cooking skills alone, Yuan Mu didn't dare to boast, but compared to Sheng Fengshi, Yuan Mu felt that he was still stronger. "I have several years of experience."

Sheng Fengshi wants to say that he still has more than ten years of experience, but the taste varies from person to person, maybe the food he cooks doesn't suit Yuan Mu's taste.Thinking of this, Sheng Fengshi agreed to Yuan Mu's request: "Take it."

"Thank you." Yuan Mu was very happy, "What kind of food do you like?"

"I'm not a picky eater."

"Okay." Seeing the next car approaching slowly, Yuan Mu sighed with reluctance, "Teacher Sheng, I don't want to be separated from you more and more."

"You should go back, it won't be safe any later."

"I know. I'm leaving. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow." Sheng Fengshi stood where he was, watching Yuan Mu walking towards the bus and closing his umbrella to get on, feeling a little bit reluctant suddenly.She turned around and walked towards home. When the bus passed by, she couldn't help but look up, but she saw nothing.

After returning home, Sheng Fengshi saw a message from Yao Ruoyu on his phone, asking if he was free for dinner tomorrow.When the time comes: noon.After a few minutes, Yao Ruoyu sent her time and address, but Sheng Fengshi did not reply to her.

After cleaning the house, Sheng Fengshi sat and rested, and soon received a call from Yuan Mu to report his safety.

"Teacher Sheng, I'm here."

"it is good."

"What are you doing?"

"I'm resting, on the sofa." Sheng Fengshi held the phone in one hand and leaned against the back of the sofa, in an unusually relaxed state, with a low and flat voice, strangely laziness.Yuan Mu on the other side of the phone immediately lost his heart.

"I..." Yuan Mu trembled when he said the word.

"Ok?"

"I miss you." Yuan Mu said softly.

Through the phone, Sheng Fengshi also heard Yuan Mu's nervousness, and she even felt that she heard Yuan Mu's heartbeat, young and vigorous, pounding like dense drumbeats, beating on her ears.Sheng Fengshi clenched her fists, trying to calm herself down, but the touch in her hands was very soft, and she realized that she had been pinching the corner of her pajamas for a while.Sheng Fengshi let go and smoothed the corner of his clothes, took the phone away for more than ten seconds, and put it back to his ear again.This time she could hear clearly, only Yuan Mu's breathing was heavier than usual on the other end of the phone.

"En." Sheng Fengshi responded.

"See you tomorrow."

When Sheng Feng heard that Yuan Mu's voice had returned to normal, he couldn't help thinking: Could it be that a single word of his own can make Yuan Mu feel at ease?Sheng Fengshi suddenly stopped the spreading thoughts, and replied: "See you tomorrow."

Sheng Fengshi made another discovery - her thinking is easy to diverge now.After hanging up the phone, she lay on the sofa in a daze for a while, feeling the passage of time suddenly, stopped wasting time immediately, went to the study room to choose a philosophy book, and read it slowly.

Yuan Mu's weather forecast was very accurate. It really rained on Saturday, and it was moderate rain.It was inconvenient to take a bus on a rainy day. Sheng Fengshi took a taxi to the restaurant, much earlier than the agreed time.She waited while reading a book, and soon Yao Ruoyu came, sat down and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to rain so hard today."

Sheng Fengshi only read one page, closed the book and said, "It's okay. You're early."

"Ah, I go out early, so I don't have to listen to my mother nagging me not to go on a date." Yao Ruoyu called the waiter.

Both of them ordered the dishes, and the waiter refilled the tea and walked away.According to the previous situation, Yao Ruoyu should have babbled at this time, but Yao Ruoyu didn't speak after a minute.First of all, it is abnormal for Yao Ruoyu to be silent for such a long time, and secondly, Sheng Fengshi felt that Yao Ruoyu gave her a slightly wrong feeling today, so Sheng Fengshi first asked, "What happened to you?"

"No, I asked you to come out to listen to the gossip." Yao Ruoyu said with a smile, Sheng Fengshi took a look, Yao Ruoyu's expression was not different from usual.

"How are you and the kid doing?" Yao Ruoyu asked.

"nature."

"What kind of answer is this? Last time Yuan Mu said that you held hands, who took the initiative? The kid took the initiative? How do you feel about her? Do you have any ideas for further development?" Yao Ruoyu was eagerly waiting for gossip. Indifference didn't mean anything to say at all, and asked doubtfully, "When is the time?"

Sheng Fengshi asked: "Are you caring about me, or Yuan Mu?"

"I care about everything. You are my friend, and Yuan Mu will be my friend in the future." Yao Ruoyu smiled brightly.

Sheng Fengshi said: "I won't chat today, I'll leave after eating."

"Why are you like this? We've been friends for so many years, and I don't want to share any gossip. I'm too petty." Yao Ruoyu complained, "Talk to me, and I can help you. If you are bored like you, you can't do anything. Don't tell me, can Yuan Mu understand your thoughts? You are called 'Zhu Gusheng', have you heard of it? I have never met a person who is more suitable for being single than you."

"She understands."

"Even if she understands that if two people don't communicate, it will slow down the progress of many things. What if there is a misunderstanding between you? It doesn't matter what you think when you are single before, but now you are about to be with another person, and you are about to be together Together, do you want to act in mimes for decades to come?"

"We have exchanges."

"Spiritual communication? Who are you lying to? Don't tell Yuan Mu that you like her for the rest of your life if you have the ability. Let's see how long she can last?"

"Yao Ruoyu, control your emotions." Sheng Fengshi frowned and stopped.

Yao Ruoyu froze for a moment, and finally became quiet.

The first dish was served, and the waiter announced the name of the dish.

Sheng Fengshi said, "I think it's a better choice for you to tell."

"Heh, what are you talking about? Is it annoying for me to be urged by my mother every day to develop a relationship with a 'boyfriend' and get married early? I've already gotten used to it, and it's a piece of cake." Yao Ruoyu always had a smile on her face, that smile was like a The mask stuck to the skin was also irremovable, she turned her head to urge the waiter to serve the rice, when Sheng Fengshi saw the wrinkles on her neck, she thought: she is not young anymore.

Yao Ruoyu's mood is unstable today, if Yao Ruoyu is willing to confide, then the problem is not serious, but the current situation is beyond Sheng Fengshi's expectation.

For Yao Ruoyu, all Sheng Fengshi can do is to offer advice. Whether Yao Ruoyu listens is not up to her, nor should she decide.A person can only make his own choice, and Sheng Fengshi can't bear the result of the choice for Yao Ruoyu, so she will never make a choice for Yao Ruoyu, and even advise her simply, because she doesn't want to bear the weight of other people's lives.This is freedom. Sheng Fengshi has enjoyed freedom for many years. The truth of this freedom is that she will only bear the weight of her own life forever.

At the end of the parting, Yao Ruoyu still did not choose to confide.Seeing her flawless smile and delicate makeup, Sheng Fengshi felt uncomfortable.She wanted to help Yao Ruoyu, but she was used to watching from the sidelines.

When he got home, Sheng Fengshi's mood hadn't recovered yet.She wanted to see Yuan Mu very much.She thought, if there was someone between her and Yuan Mu who could play the role of the sun and drive away the clouds, that person should be Yuan Mu.Sheng Fengshi dialed the phone.

"Teacher Sheng? What's the matter?"

"You come."

"Now? Okay. You wait for me, I'll go shopping first."

"Don't buy it, come on, let's go out and buy it together."

"okay."

"be careful."

"I see, you wait for me."

"Ah."

Sheng Fengshi put down the phone, feeling much better, suddenly thought that this was the first time she called Yuan Mu.There will be more exceptions in the future, Sheng Fengshi thought with a smile on his head, she had no doubt about it.

Yuan Mu came quickly and brought a bagful of vegetables.

Sheng Fengshi opened the door and saw the green bag in her hand. The green onions were too long to fit in, and a few centimeters of green were poked out.

Yuan Mu explained: "I borrowed it from the kitchen, and I will pay back the money when I go back." The umbrella at most covered the upper body, and Yuan Mu rolled up his slightly wet trouser legs, exposing a section of his ankle, took off his shoes and socks, and wiped his feet dry with toilet paper before putting them on. Put on your slippers.

Sheng Fengshi took a look at her ankles and said, "I'll take a pair of pants and you can change them on, and you can change them when you leave."

"Okay." Yuan Mu stood in the middle of the living room and waited, and soon Sheng Fengshi came out of the room, holding a pair of soft-looking home pants in his hand.

"Through it..." Sheng Fengshi himself didn't understand why he said this sentence, did he know it at a glance, why bother to say it?Sheng Fengshi handed the trousers to Yuan Mu: "Change in the study."

"Okay." Yuan Mu took it with both hands very solemnly, and walked towards the study.

As soon as she entered the door, Yuan Mu saw the bookshelf behind the desk, which almost occupied a wall as she thought.Yuan Mu went to the bookshelf to look at the titles, and when she saw the books she had read, she felt happy.Yuan Mu put the home pants on the table and took off his pants.After changing it, Yuan Mu saw the wooden box she had given to Sheng Fengshi on the corner of the table, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.This feeling was a bit familiar, Yuan Mu stared at the spotless wooden box, and suddenly remembered it.

When she took many zakats at school and finally returned to the mountains, breathing the clean air, she would have this feeling - her body was completely relaxed, as if it had become a tree or a leaf blending into the surroundings, reaping the benefits of daily life. The limited sensory freedom to let go extends infinitely, without restraint, without guards, without others, and without "I".

That's what "coming back" feels like.
