stepping into the night

"Brother Ruan!" The girl poked her head out of the empty classroom with a folder in her arms, and shouted in the direction of the classroom next to her.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a boy wearing gold-rimmed glasses walking out of the classroom next to him, holding a blackboard eraser in his hand.

"Today, old man Li wrote on the top of the blackboard again. I can't even wipe it off!" The girl blinked her eyes, her tone seemed to be reproachful, but from the look on her face, it could be seen that she didn't hate the teacher she mentioned, and she was very self-conscious about it. She took a few steps back holding the folder so that the boy could wipe the blackboard for her.

The boy didn't respond, but he bent his eyes and smiled, and raised his hand to easily wipe off some remaining blackboard marks on the top of the blackboard.

He is 1.8 meters tall and has a handsome face. His peach petal-like eyes are slightly lifted up, and when he smiles, they look like crescent moons. He is very good-looking. The gold-rimmed glasses add a bit of bookishness to him, and he is slightly pursed out of habit. The lips made the lip beads more obvious, and the light red made people couldn't help but focus on his beautiful lip shape.

"Brother Ruan, what kind of milk tea do you like to drink?" The girl saw him finish wiping the blackboard, and asked him.

"I won't drink." Ruan Chu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

"Liu Yuanyuan, why don't you go away! The steak restaurant will be empty later!" A girl's voice came from the corridor outside the classroom.

"Right now!" The girl walked to the door of the classroom in a few steps, poked her head out to respond, then turned her head to look at Ruan Chu, and made a gesture of clasping her hands together, "Then please Brother Ruan, please help me bring some milk tea later." When I come back, I will go to your classroom to get it. I want a big cup of cheese and meaty peaches, less ice three-point sugar, and a cup of cheese oolong, go to ice three-point sugar, I will transfer the money to you from WeChat. Thank you Ruan! "

After Liu Yuanyuan finished speaking, she put the folder in her hand on the table next to the wall in the first row, picked up her bag and ran out, not forgetting to transfer 34 yuan to Ruan Chu on the way.

Several teaching assistants went out for dinner in groups, and the classrooms on the whole floor fell silent. Ruan Chu went back to his class and tidied up the desks and chairs, checked the ink in the ink pens, and put them away. The list of the students in class in the afternoon was changed to the top of the folder, and then I took out the bento I brought from home in a hurry, went to the front desk to ask the teacher to borrow a microwave oven, and then returned to the empty classroom for lunch .

——Ruan Chu’s family is not well-off, his parents are not well-educated, and he left his hometown to work, but for the future of him and his sister, he gritted his teeth and used his savings from working abroad for many years to buy the one-bedroom, one-living school district where he lives now with a mortgage Luckily, both siblings are competitive, Ruan Chu has always been in the top ten in grades, and younger sister Ruan Yun is in junior high school, but her grades are also good.

Because he was directly promoted to the high school based on his own grades, the school considered Ruan Chu's family situation and waived tuition fees, with additional monthly subsidies.Most of the students in the school are students with excellent grades and a good family environment. The pressure of competition is not small. However, due to the serious school spirit, there is no atmosphere of comparison, and the students have good personalities.Not long after the college entrance examination, Liu Yuanyuan from the class took the initiative to ask Ruan Chu if she would like to go to a tutoring institution with her as a teaching assistant. Ruan Chu was very grateful for her introduction of a part-time job for her, so she quickly agreed and would usually help Liu Yuanyuan with her classes. The students on the school roll call, wipe the blackboard and so on.

Liu Yuanyuan is a wealthy little princess, but in order to exercise her ability and because of her strong nature, she wanted to earn some pocket money, so she found a part-time job at this place where she has been tutoring. She was friends with Ruan Chu when she was in school , Most of the time, I will discuss the topic with him, know his situation, and introduce Ruan Chu to work by the way.

The cram school students finish class at 12:30 noon and start class at [-]:[-] in the afternoon. It was not one o’clock after Ruan Chu finished his lunch. He went to the bathroom to wash the bento box briefly, put it back in his school bag, and went out with his mobile phone to Liu Yuanyuan. Buy milk tea.

When it was approaching July, it was the height of summer heat, and when the sun fell on the skin, there was a scorching pain.This is a commercial area, and there are endless pedestrians on the street wearing parasols, and there is a long queue at the milk tea shop, most of which are young and energetic girls arm in arm.

Ruan Chu stood at the end of the line, feeling a little uneasy. When the two girls in front were laughing, the scent of perfume from their bodies lightly spread to the tip of his nose, which made him feel a little offended, so he subconsciously stood back a little and pulled away. some distance.

After finally waiting for the customers in front to order, when it was Ruan Chu's turn, he was a little nervous, especially the tone and expression of the cashier clerk, who was not as hospitable as other clerks in the store.

"What would you like to drink?" The boy's voice was as cold as his handsome and tough appearance, and his neat short hair made his whole temperament sharper, but because he was wearing a mask, he couldn't see his whole face clearly. You can see his long and narrow eyes without any emotion.

Ruan Chu was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his head to look at the menu, recalled what Liu Yuanyuan had told him for a moment, cleared his throat, and said, "A cup of cheese with meaty peaches, a big cup, less ice and three parts of sugar, and then... A cup of cheese oolong, remove the ice and three parts of the sugar."

"Okay," the boy lowered his head and clicked on the machine a few times, then asked him, "Do you want a big cup of cheese oolong?"

"Ah?" Ruan Chu didn't remember that Liu Yuanyuan had explained this, but he hurriedly glanced at the price list and compared the money Liu Yuanyuan transferred to him. Then he was relieved and nodded with certainty, "Yes."

"Okay, here is your receipt, please take it." The boy handed out the receipt to Ruan Chu from the window with both hands. She shrank her fingers and apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry."

"It's okay." The boy said, his tone was milder, and Ruan Chu couldn't help but look at him more.

Ruan Chu pursed his lips, not daring to delay the ordering time of the customers behind him, took the receipt and went to the next queue to take the food, he couldn't help but look at the indifferent clerk again, silently I thought this person didn't seem as indifferent as he looked on the outside.

After Lin Jiang settled the bill for Ruan Chu, she switched to the inner room to make milk tea. During the period, she always felt that someone was watching him, but he thought it was those little girls who whispered that they were going to see the handsome guy, so he didn't care. When he looked up subconsciously But he happened to meet the gaze of the boy wearing gold-rimmed glasses who was at the end of the line.

The boy looked very refined, wearing the simplest white T, his arms exposed in the sun were so white that they could reflect light, but when he met his eyes, his eyes panicked for a moment, as if he was caught, he hurriedly turned his head to look elsewhere , It’s just that the red ear tips don’t know whether it’s because of the hot weather or this second of looking at each other. This makes Lin Jiang a little curious, but work is important. When he thinks about it again, that shy boy has already left.

It was already 01:30 when Ruan Chu returned to the classroom with two cups of milk tea. Some students who were looking for a restaurant nearby had already returned. They were either sleeping on the table or playing with their mobile phones, but when they saw Ruan Chu, they would be obedient Or call him "Teacher Ruan" lively.

——Ruan Chu speaks very little, and is as quiet and shy as he looks, but he is surprisingly popular. It is said that the students in the class next door who were so naughty that the teaching assistant was angry would call him politely when they saw him. teacher.

"Teacher Ruan, I finished my homework for this class!" A boy ran over with a workbook, sat down next to Ruan Chu, and offered to check his homework for him.

"Yeah." Ruan Chu looked through the questions he had done carefully, carefully put a square check mark in the "homework" column on the list in his hand, and explained to the boy what he did in the morning. The knowledge points that I did not understand in the lectures.

The class starts at 15:[-] in the afternoon. The teaching assistants need to come to the classroom at least [-] minutes in advance to prepare the pens, handouts and mineral water that the teacher needs for the class. Standing up, he smiled and said to Ruan Chu: "I'm here to get milk tea, thank you Brother Ruan!"

"You're welcome." Ruan Chu nodded, and handed her two cups of milk tea on the table.

Liu Yuanyuan took a closer look when she took the milk tea bag, picked out the cup of cheese and meaty peaches, put the remaining cup back on Ruan Chu's table, winked at him and said with a smile: "This cup is for Brother Ruan, I will drink it. Go back to class! Don't refuse, I will ask you to produce food for my idol next time."

——Ruan Chu is very talented in drawing, and usually he can learn it quickly just by thinking about the tutorials, but because of his family background, he can’t learn it, and he dare not even apply for a major related to this, but Liu Yuanyuan will ask Ruan to chase stars At the beginning, I painted and produced food for my idol.

After she finished speaking, she ran back to her class without waiting for Ruan Chu to thank her, and she could hear her loud voice roll call across the aisle.

The teaching assistant needs to follow the class in the classroom and report the teaching content and students' attendance to the parent group at any time. Ruan Chu had no choice but to sit back and count the names of the students in the class for the last time to make sure that everyone is present.

Before the teacher came, the students in the class were consciously reviewing the knowledge or doing the questions in the morning. The girl sitting next to Ruan Chu secretly asked him with a mysterious smile of "I understand", "Mr. Is the teacher your girlfriend?"

"No." Ruan Chu knew that the girls in the class would gossip, but he didn't expect that this group of students who were not a few years younger than him would gossip about himself as a teaching assistant.

"Don't you have a girlfriend?" The girl blinked.

Ruan Chu shook his head.

"What about the boyfriend?" The smile on the girl's face was filled with inexplicable expectations.

"..." Ruan Chu knew that she was joking, but she was still flustered for a moment. She pursed her lips and hurriedly looked down at the list in her hand, trying to make her tone sound like an assistant head teacher, "Nothing at all. .It’s almost time for class, so get ready for the class.”

"Mr. Ruan, why is your neck so red? It's been so long since you're free to fall in love. Don't care about your gender..." Before the girl finished speaking, the teacher of this class came in, and she hurriedly kept silent He lowered his head and flipped through the handouts in his hand, avoiding the teacher's gaze, fearing that he would wake himself up and read the answers to yesterday's practice questions.

Ruan Chu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the corresponding lecture notes in his hand, and wrote down on the paper the content of the course that he needed to send to the parent group when he went home at night, but while he was writing, his mind was a little far away up.

Floating to the touch of a fingertip at the noon milk tea shop.

——He really likes boys.
