unruly

In the middle of the night, the flying fine snow stopped, and the outside world was clean and empty until dawn. The city under the dim streetlights was all white. Looking out from the tall buildings, the sky was full of snow everywhere. .

This year's snow is not thick, far less exaggerated than the winter in the north, but it is enough to form a thin layer on the window sill, about three or four centimeters thick.

After tossing and tossing was almost over, Ming Shu and Ning Zhi were lying on their sides, with their heads facing the side of the floor-to-ceiling windows, both tightly wrapped in quilts lying on the bed overlooking the night scene outside.

Mingshu felt cold, lowered his head and let out a breath into his hands, then rubbed his fingers together.

Ning Zhi moved over, grabbed her left hand, and unreasonably pressed it heavily on her back.

"What are you doing?" Ming Shu said, struggling twice, "You are too heavy, get out of the way, it makes me uncomfortable."

Ning Zhi tugged at the corners of the quilt, wrapped himself and Mingshu into a ball, and said with a shy face: "It's warmer this way, it's not cold, if we separate it, there will be air leakage, and it will be chilly."

Ming Shu was so crushed that he couldn't even move his arms, so he had no choice but to lie down completely and said softly: "Where is it not cold? This is not warm, you feel cold."

Ning Zhi touched himself suspiciously, "Is there any?"

"Yes." Ming Shu moved his calf under the blanket, rubbing against the other person's instep tentatively, "Your instep is cold, like a lump of ice, can't you feel it?"

Ning Zhi moved close to her ear and said unconsciously, "I feel fine, not cold, but warm."

Ming Shu laughed, "That's the temperature on my body, and you wiped it all away."

Ning Zhi agreed shamelessly, nodded, and said softly: "You are indeed warm..."

The two hugged into a ball under the thick quilt, at first Ming Shu still lay on his stomach, then turned around and put his arms around Ning Zhi's back.

Ning Zhi did something bad under the quilt, Ming Shu hummed softly.

I don't know when it was, but Ning Zhi leaned on Ming Shu's shoulder and asked softly, "How long will it be snowing?"

Mingshu replied: "I don't know."

Ning Zhi tilted his head and looked, "It will probably last for more than half a month."

"Not necessarily," Ming Shu said, "It doesn't snow often in City Z, maybe only for a few days."

Ning Zhi said: "After the exam, you should be able to stop."

Ming Shu responded, "Maybe."

Ning Zhi asked again: "Are you free then?"

Ming Shu: "What are you doing?"

"Do you want to go out for a walk around Chinese New Year?"

"where to?"

"I can do it, as you like. It doesn't matter if you play in the city or go to other places."

"Where do you want to go?"

Ning Zhi thought for a while, "I will go wherever you go."

Ming Shu teased the other party viciously, "I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to stay at home."

Ning Zhi thought for a moment, "It's fine, you can stay here."

The corners of Ming Shu's mouth curled up, he didn't need to pinch this person hard, and then he said seriously: "I'll see when the time comes, if I have time, I'll go if I don't have time, and wait until the end of the new year to see."

Ning Zhi replied: "Okay."

Ming Shu herself also plans to go out for a stroll. After all, she has worked hard for a year, and she must relax during the New Year. She can't be tense all day long.She lifted her slender waist, tried her best not to touch the quilt, then pushed Ning Zhi, and instructed, "Give me two pieces of paper, put them on the bedside table."

Ning Zhi said "oh" like a big fool, and before he could do it, he stretched out half of his body to that side, and when he retracted, he said like a fool: "I'll come, I'll help you."

Ming Shu "disliked" Zai'er, took the paper and avoided it.

"You're so cold, stay away from me."

Ning Zhi approached uninterestedly, touched himself again, and replied: "It's not cold, really, it's warm."

Ming Shu shrank under the quilt, moved back to the original position, lay straight on the pillow, and patted the other party pretending to be unhappy, "Still sleeping, won't you read tomorrow?"

"Look, I need to read." Ning Zhi responded, and moved over to each other, "Tomorrow morning I have to go to the library and ask my classmates to get the papers from previous years."

Ming Shu hummed for a moment, no matter this one, and sleepiness brewed when he closed his eyes.

Ning Zhi kissed her face, "Good night."

Ming Shu didn't respond, she just put her hand on the cub's waist as if she didn't feel it.

Aunt Lin asked for leave to go back to her hometown, and took advantage of the New Year's Eve to visit relatives in the countryside, and contacted and visited those friends she had known since childhood.The old man also has her own life. She is very busy at this time of year, running back and forth, always going to various places to meet some people, and occasionally invite friends to go out for sightseeing.

From now until Xiaonian, Aunt Lin will not come here, so there are only Ming and Shu left here.

Ming Shu arranged a driver for Aunt Lin to pick her up and back, and prepared a gift for Aunt Lin before she left, and even called her continuously in the past two days to inquire about the situation in the countryside.

Aunt Lin was very happy to be able to go out for a while away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. She always smiled when answering the phone, and she was in a good mood.The only thing that makes the elderly worry about is Mingshu's daily life. Aunt Lin repeatedly told Mingshu to work and rest regularly, not to miss three meals a day, and not to skip breakfast.

Aunt Lin can babble, she can read better than Ms. Ming Yiru, and Mingshu's ears are almost numb from hearing these words.

It’s the twelfth lunar month of the lunar calendar, and the Spring Festival will be ushered in after this period. An area around the financial city has been hung up with red lanterns early on, and even the street lights on the street have been changed, replaced with a new year’s gold ingot shape , very festive at first glance.

In the two stores of the M&F studio, Fan Chuyu also asked the staff to hang specially made New Year lanterns above the store doors, and at the same time asked someone to design a Spring Festival-themed layout, and simply decorated the two stores.

Fan is always a bit superstitious, saying that he specially asked a Feng Shui master for reference for that arrangement, saying that only in this way can he ensure a smooth coming year and make a lot of money.

Mingshu thinks it's because he has money and has nowhere to use it, and only when he is too free will he engage in those things that are not available.

Fan Chuyu argued: "Where is the free time, I am very busy every day, I work diligently from morning to night, that is called not touching the ground, there is no one who works harder than me."

It is clear that this is nonsense, there are few customers and few orders recently, Fan Chuyu is not busy at all.Mingshu asked: "What are you busy with?"

Fan Chuyu said seriously: "Two days ago, I went up to the mountain to worship the Bodhisattva, and yesterday I went to the church, and both sides went to pray for blessings. The combination of Chinese and foreign countries is not missing, and I pray to God and God to let us make a fortune."

"Oh," Mingshu said, "It's gone?"

"I specially speak English when I go to church, because I'm afraid that foreign Bodhisattvas won't understand you." Fan Chuyu said seriously, and then took out an amulet from his pocket, "Here, take it, this is just for you ?”

Mingshu took the things and looked at them, "Is this still used in churches now?"

Fan Chuyu explained: "That's not it. I bought this thing in the temple, 880 copies. The master who consecrated it said that it is specially designed to save destined people, and at least it can guarantee the luck of the next three years."

Ming Shu didn't bother to listen to Mr. Fan's nonsense, so he put the amulet in his bag without saying thank you, and only said that if he had the chance next time, he would ask Fan Chuyu for a similar price.

"No, I already have one. My family bought it from Guoer," Fan Chuyu said, "Eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight sheets, the kind that is at the level of a town hall treasure."

Ming Shu glanced at this person.

"..."

Boss Fan, who is stupid and rich in money, not only asked for amulets for Mingshu alone, but Lao Cao and Sister Ying also had a share. No one was left behind, and everyone paid the same price.

Fan Chuyu also prepared a light talisman for Ning Zhi, and gave it to Ning Zhi as a year-end reward, and gave it in the name of M&F studio.

Ning Zhi was in a fog when he received the item, with a look of inexplicable wonder on his face, not understanding what Mr. Fan was doing.

Little curly hair is a staunch materialist, and absolutely does not believe in ghosts and gods, regardless of the east or the west, so it is impossible to go to temples to worship and pray in churches.She had no feelings for the amulet at all, but it was hard to please Fan Chuyu, so she accepted it and thanked him face to face.

Fan Chuyu patted Zai'er on the shoulder, and said, "I promise you will have a successful career in the coming year and make it to a higher level."

Ning Zhi nodded, "Thank you for your kind words."

Mingshu found out about this, and felt helpless and happy about it, and quietly said to Ning Zhi: "Don't pay attention to her, she's like this, she has to find something to do at the end of every year."

Ning Zhi put the amulet in the messenger bag, and helped Fan Chuyu to speak: "Fan Zong also has a kind heart."

A few days after March [-]th is the Laba Festival, which coincides with the weekend and before the final exam week.

On a whim, Xiao Heliang suddenly decided to treat guests to dinner on this day, inviting the students he had taught and who are currently studying in Z City to visit his home.Teacher Xiao said: "It's a big holiday, and some children may not be able to go back to reunite with their families, so I just invite everyone to come over for a hot meal."

One of the guests was Ning Zhi.

In fact, Teacher Xiao invited this meal for her. After all, he told Mingshu to bring the child home as a guest earlier, but considering that Ning Zhi might be embarrassed by himself, Teacher Xiao discussed it with Ms. Ming Yiru. In the end, he decided to invite a few more students, so as to ease the atmosphere and avoid Ning Zhi's uneasiness.

Therefore, this year's Laba Festival is very lively, which is quite different from previous years.

During the Laba Festival, there is a custom of drinking Laba porridge. The old couple get up early in the morning to work, and cook in person at noon.

Mingshu also took a day off for himself that day, went back to the villa by the lake to help the old couple, and at around 09:30, he and another driver drove to the university town to pick them up.

The big boss originally only planned to pick up Ning Zhi, but that was too obvious, so he had to pick up two more students into the car to cover up.

Ning Zhi stood at the main gate with a high school classmate and waited for Ming Shu to come. After getting in the car, he went straight to the passenger seat, so don't be too self-conscious.

When he arrived at Ming's house, Xiao Heliang greeted everyone at the gate and expressed his welcome to everyone.Teacher Xiao is still as warm-hearted as when he was teaching, and he is kind to all the students. When he sees Ning Zhi, he even smiles.

The cub is sensible, and he came to eat with a generous gift, but this time he is smarter, not as dumb as he was before.

Of course, Ning Zhi wasn't the only one who bought gifts, the other students also bought them.

Xiao Heliang waved his hand straight away, "I told you last night, just let me come empty-handed, what are you buying a bunch of things for?"

Ning Zhi took the lead in shouting: "Mr. Xiao, Auntie."

Others also shouted: "Hello, teacher, hello, teacher's wife."

Most of the people present knew Mingshu, but they were not familiar with him, and most of them hadn't even spoken to him.

Xiao Heliang introduced to everyone: "This is my daughter, Mingshu."

Others called "Sister Ming" or "Sister Ming" again.

Ning Zhi didn't shout, stood aside and said nothing, and would not be so polite to his girlfriend.

Today, Ms. Mingyiru is enthusiastic and patient with the children. She immediately greets people when she sees them, asks everyone to sit down quickly, and even asks the maid to take care of everyone in the living room.

The meals are all ready. Today we eat mutton soup pot, and everyone gathers around the table to eat meat.

——An old custom in Z City, eating mutton during the winter solstice, while Ming Shu was at home, the old couple postponed it to this day.

When everyone was ready, they started to serve the dishes. Mingshu went over to help serve the dishes, and Ning Zhi also went to help out.

Both of them were able to put on a good show, and they were obviously close, but they insisted that nothing was wrong, so that the old couple would not notice the slightest clue.

And after serving the dishes, Ning Zhi silently retreated to the side and stood next to the previous classmate from the same school, not sitting with Ming Shu.

Ming Shu didn't show any emotion, and responded calmly, sitting silently next to Ms. Ming Yiru, one seat away from Ning Zhi.

The meal was very pleasant and full of warmth.Teacher Xiao first took care of all the students for dinner, then asked about everyone's recent situation, then talked about his own situation, talked about the No. [-] Middle School and a few things this year, and recalled the past from time to time.

Ming Shu didn't talk much, but listened to the students talking while eating, and poured drinks for others in the middle.

——The main purpose is to pour water for Ning Zhi and take care of the cubs, and the rest are incidental.

Ning Zhi doesn't talk much, and only speaks a few words when someone asks.

When he was about to finish eating, Ming Yiru suddenly asked about Ning Zhi's situation in the M&F studio, cared about it for the first time, and asked from the perspective of Ming Shu's mother and teacher's wife: "Are you still used to it?"

Ning Zhi is able to deal with the elders with ease, not as innocent as in private, and said in a gentle voice: "Accommodating, Boss Ming has taken care of me a lot, thanks to her."

Ming Yiru is very clear about Ning Zhi's background, knowing that she is one of the heirs of the AURORA Group, and also knows Mrs. Ning and Zhuang Qinian.Ms. Ming's sense of Ning Zhi is so-so. Knowing the agreement between Ming Shu and Zhuang Qinian, she still thinks that the two parties are just exchanging interests, so her view of Ning Zhi is not as pure as that of other students, and her feelings are not very sincere. Treated like a customer.

"That's good, just get used to it." Ming Yiru said, the words in his mouth were too polite, "In the future, if you need anything, you can always find Mingshu, and you can also find us."

Ning Zhi understood what this meant in his heart, felt that Ms. Ming Yiru was not close to her, but she would not explain too much because of this, she just nodded politely, and replied: "Thank you, Auntie."

Ming Yiru said, "You're welcome."

Ming Shu sat by the side and listened silently, glanced at Xiao Zai out of the corner of his eye, and then winked at his own mother, signaling Ms. Ming not to be too obvious.It's still eating at home, and it's not going out to participate in the wine party. Those ways in the business field are still scary.

Ming Yi just ordered it as soon as he ordered it, and there was nothing more to do after that, only serving a bowl of soup for Ning Zhi at the end.

Ning Zhi took it, picked up the bowl and wiped it all out, not a single drop was left.

After lunch, Teacher Xiao took the students to the back garden, while Ming Shu and Ming Yiru stayed in the living room.

Ming Shu put away all the things the students gave, and said to Ming Yiru: "Mom, don't be so fierce, you were too serious just now."

Ming Yiru didn't take it seriously, and asked knowingly: "Who killed me?"

"She and Zhuang Qinian are not on the same side, so don't think too much about it." Ming Shu said.

Ming Yi sat on the sofa without making a sound, since he was not very satisfied with Ning Zhi anyway.

Naturally, it's not that she hates or doesn't like it, she's not that small-minded, but she doesn't like the behavior of some people in the Ning family, thinking that Zhuang Qinian's behavior has caused trouble to her daughter, and she is a bit angry.

It's not easy for Ming Shu to say anything, but to remind Ming Yiru, Zhuang Qinian is Zhuang Qinian, and Ning Zhi is Ning Zhi, so they should not be confused.

Xiao Heliang and the others wandered outside for half an hour before returning. In the afternoon, the group gathered together to chat, drink tea or play chess.

The students didn't stay here for dinner, and had to leave around four o'clock. After all, there was an exam tomorrow, Monday, and they had to go back to school to review.

The old couple gave everyone New Year's red envelopes in advance. Everyone has a share. Each red envelope is 600 yuan, which is not too much, but it is not too little for ordinary student parties.

It was Ming Shu and the driver who were in charge of seeing everyone, and sent the group of people to the university city in two cars.

On the way back to Yulin Garden, Ming Shu asked Ning Zhi, "Did my mother scare you?"

Ning Zhi shook his head, "No, it's okay."

"She just has this temper, don't mind it." Ming Shu explained, "Actually, I didn't mean that in my heart, it's nothing, I just deliberately fooled people."

Ning Zhi leaned on the seat leisurely and said, "I guessed it."

Ming Shu smiled, "Uncle Xiao still likes you very much, and was still talking about you this morning."

Ning Zhi asked: "What do you miss me?"

"It's not like that, studies, grades, what awards you won." Mingshu said, turning the steering wheel a little bit, "You are all his pride, he always pays attention to your movements, and knows many things."

Ning Zhi turned his head to look, thought for a while, and asked quite seriously: "Then should I visit him more often in the future?"

Hearing the deep meaning in these words, Ming Shu raised his eyebrows and said: "As you like, you can go if you want, and you can go there alone with me someday."

Ning Zhi put his arms behind his head and tilted his head again, "Then it's done."

On snowy weekends, the streets are busier than usual. Many adults and children are playing in the snow outside, running around with shovels, rushing from one store to another, wishing to shovel all the snow on the ground to their own. Stacked on the ground.

Back on the 18th floor, Ming Shu took Qiu downstairs to walk around, took the big dog out to join in the fun, while Ning Zhi stayed at home to review and read books, preparing for tomorrow's exam.

Fearing that the big dog would be too excited to hold it back, Ming Shu didn't take Qiu outside the community, but wandered around the playground downstairs, letting Qiu play with the children for a while.

Qiu is very obedient, no matter how excited he is, he won't break free from the rope. He obediently hops around with his muzzle on all the time, swinging his paws around vigorously.

On the way, Mingshu temporarily unfastened Qiu's muzzle for 2 minutes, grabbed a handful of snow and brought it to Shagou's mouth, letting him taste it.

Qiu cautiously sniffed, and licked his mouth in shock. Immediately, he was stimulated by the coolness, and his tail almost stood up.

Mingshu hugged it and rubbed the dog's head, asking, "Do you like it?"

Qiuqiu let out a barking sound, raised her two front paws to paw Mingshu's body, and wanted to get close to her and lick her.

Ming Shu hurriedly stopped him, absolutely not giving him an opportunity.

Autumn circled around her, wagging its tail.

The night of the Laba Festival was still lightly snowed, not much different from the night before, the only difference was that the door of the master bedroom was opened and autumn was let in.

The hairy ball happily came in with its mouth in its mouth, took up a place at the foot of the bed, and slept there at night.

That night, the two of them and the dog both fell asleep peacefully and had a good rest.

The next day, Ning Zhi rarely woke up early, and got up at seven o'clock, and left for school after washing up.

Mingshu was still in charge of Qiuqiu, and he had to prepare food for him when he got up early in the morning, and at the end, he had to clean the teeth of this idiot.

I don't like brushing my teeth in autumn, and I don't cooperate well when cleaning my teeth, and I always hide here and there.Ming Shu had no choice but to hold the silly dog's ears to work, and even reprimanded it a few times.Qiu was very wronged by this, and after brushing his teeth, he whined twice in a low mood, hiding in the corner of the bathroom and refusing to go out.

Ming Shu would not allow the dog to run wild, so he went to the washstand to wash his hands immediately after getting up.

Qiu Qiu admitted his mistake very quickly, and after a while, he ran over and rubbed her trouser legs, cursing her flatteringly.

Ming Shu was so angry that he couldn't do anything about it. Seeing that the hairball was really sticky, he wanted to touch it to comfort him, but just as he was about to bend down, he felt something warm dripping from his nose.She reacted quickly, and immediately stood up straight with her back straight. Without thinking about it, she pulled two tissues from the stage and covered her nose.

In autumn, I have a keen sense of smell, and I smelled an unusual smell at that time.The big dog stopped in a daze, Mingshu stopped making trouble, and stared up at her.

"Wang-"

"Wang Wang-"

It was inconvenient for Mingshu to lower his head to comfort the big dog, so he only lowered his eyes and said, "Be good, don't run around, sit still."

Qiu was a little anxious, she didn't even flick her tail, her brows and eyes were all wrinkled.

Mao Tuanzi was smart enough to know that Mingshu should not be disturbed at this time, and he would sit quietly in fear of accidentally knocking him down.

Ming Shu took out two more sheets of paper, replaced the one just now, covered his nose again, and then threw the blood-soaked ball into the trash can.

It may be that she stayed up too many times during this period, or it may be that the mutton soup pot yesterday was too dry, she seemed to be a little angry.

Ming Shu is not very good at dealing with nosebleeds, but she only knows that she can't keep her head up, or she might choke herself. She kept changing the paper, and pinched her nose a little bit in the middle, until the bleeding stopped.

After all, it was the first experience, and the situation was quite scary. The half-wrapped paper in the trash can was enough to stand out.

Turning on the faucet to wash his face and hands, Ming Shu stared at himself in the mirror for a while, making sure that he was really all right before letting go.She didn't care too much about this, she thought it was just an ordinary getting angry, and she didn't pay much attention after cleaning it up.

Qiu stood by the trash can, his big eyes wandering around, staring curiously at the blood-stained paper.Mao Tuanzi was ignorant, and wanted to bury his head in and grab those paper balls.

Fortunately, Mingshu found out quickly, stopped the big dog immediately, picked up the garbage bag and packed it, took it downstairs and threw it away.

Qiu hurriedly followed, not understanding what was wrong, and had to ask Mingshu to keep the things.Ming Shu didn't have time to play with it. It happened that the employee who took care of it had already arrived, so she entrusted the big dog to the employee and went to work by herself.

Nose bleeding was not a serious matter, and there was no other abnormality in the following day. When it was time to get off work, Ming Shu left everything in the morning and didn't tell Ning Zhi about it.

The Department of Management took two exams today, three more the day after tomorrow, and one on Friday.

Ning Zhi performed well. The difficulty of those test papers was not a problem for her at all, and she was able to finish them with ease. Every time she finished answering the papers, she could leave at least half an hour earlier.

During the next three days of exam time, Ming Shu went to Z University to pick up Ning Zhi, so he was able to accompany him.

Soon, all the exams will be over, and this semester will officially come to an end.

The snow stopped at this moment, as expected.

After picking him up and getting into the car, Ming Shu asked, "Do you have any plans for the next few days?"

"No," Ning Zhi said, "What about you?"

Mingshu said: "I'm not busy either, it's off-season now. Why don't you go and hang out with your friends for two days?"

Ning Zhi: "I'll go back later, there's no rush now, I'll take more than a month's leave, it's still a long time."

Mingshu: "Alright."

The car crossed the road, turned out of the intersection, and drove into another street.

Ning Zhi turned to look at her, and said meaningfully, "I'll stay with you tonight."

How could Mingshu not understand, his heart was like a mirror, after a long while, he opened his mouth and replied: "Yes."
