The author has something to say: Happy May Day, babies, it has been delayed for a long time.

Until Yue's hometown, Xu Zhiyuan was so absent-minded that he didn't hear Master Xu calling him. He didn't wake up until he was slapped on the back of the head.

Master Xu scolded him for being insincere, Xu Zhiyuan was thinking about Fu Shubai's matter in his heart, he was single-minded, and muttered softly that he didn't intend to come in the first place.

After the servant opened the door, Xu Zhiyuan flattened the folds of his clothes, walked in, and saw a familiar woman playing with a pot of orchids in the room, and said with a little helplessness: "Father, if you can't take care of it, you can't take care of it." Don't keep it anymore, this flower is so delicate...how many pots are this dead?"

Old Yue's unconvinced voice came from the back room: "Don't touch it, it's not dead, it's just that it doesn't have energy, just pour some water and it will live."

The woman pouted: "You are still stubborn."

The servant called Miss, and she let out an "ah". When she turned her head and saw Xu Zhiyuan, she was taken aback, and called out, "Zhiyuan?"

Xu Zhiyuan had guessed it when he heard the voice, but he didn't expect it to be Yue Jianliu.Yue Jianliu combed his loose long hair with his fingers, and saw Xu Zhenping asked: "This is..."

"Oh, I'm old...well, my father." Xu Zhiyuan said.

Yue Jianliu hurriedly bowed slightly, then turned around to urge, "Father, there are guests."

When Mr. Yue came out, his eyes had been on the orchid that his daughter had placed on the table, and he plucked the helpless leaves with his hands, and muttered with a frown: "...Where is it dead? Isn't this the same..." He was As he spoke, he turned his eyes and saw Xu Zhiyuan, the corners of his puckered mouth suddenly pulled, and he made an ugly expression, his voice raised a few degrees, and he said, "Why are you here too?"

Xu Zhenping: "Xu Zhiyuan disobeyed discipline a few days ago and offended Mr. Yue. I have already taught him a lesson at home, and today I specially asked him to come and say goodbye to you."

And Yue Jianliu didn't seem to know that his father's private teacher was Xu Zhiyuan, so he tilted his head when he heard this.

Mr. Yue has great respect for Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu, so naturally he will not hurt the harmony of the two families because of such a matter, but because of the dignity of his husband and elders, Xu Zhiyuan needs to sincerely repent, he is tolerant and magnanimous Attitude is the only way to find the next step.So, three eyes stared at Xu Zhiyuan, seeing that he didn't respond, Master Xu even patted him on the shoulder murderously.

Xu Zhiyuan: "..."

People wear many masks. Change one in different scenes. The more natural and flawless the person is, the more favored they will be by roses and olive branches. Conversely, the price of a momentary mistake may be huge. The accumulation of the front road collapsed overnight.

At this moment, Xu Zhiyuan is facing a kind of "decision" - in front of Yue Jianliu, he is an elegant and literary gentleman, with elegant speech and demeanor.In front of Yue Lao, he is a rebellious and unruly illiterate, who dares to speak up without doing his homework.And in front of his own father, he was just a stupid son who was going to be whipped if he didn't obey, so he didn't dare to play tricks.

Under balance, Xu Zhiyuan still picked out the mask in front of Yue Jianliu, bowed his head obediently, and said in a flat voice: "Mr. Yue, I'm sorry."

Old Yue narrowed his eyes: "Where is it wrong?"

Xu Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and said, "I shouldn't have ignored your words, and I shouldn't have joked about your image so childishly."

"Hmph, what you should apologize for is your attitude towards learning!" Mr. Yue stroked his brush beard, pointed his fingers, and said impassionedly, "I have never taught students who were disrespectful or disrespectful to books and knowledge! Reading and seeking knowledge in adversity is for their goals and responsibilities, not for me! Do you know how many students dream of your own conditions?"

"You... mean," Xu Zhiyuan thought about his lesson, his goal is to be a bastard, and his responsibility is to keep the Xu family from falling into ruin when it falls into his hands, nothing else.Thinking about it this way, there is nothing wrong with his attitude of eating and waiting to die.But these words can only be slandered, if he said it, his two long legs that had grown for 18 years might be interrupted by Xu Zhenping.

"I've been thinking about it all night. It's because I don't understand Mr. Dayi, and I promise to change it in the future." Xu Zhiyuan kept bending his waist, saying "politely and sincerely".

Elder Yue didn't know why he suddenly changed his temper, he thought it was Xu Zhenping's coercion from the side that helped him "fake the tiger's power".He shook his head and sighed, but after venting his heart, he finally let go of his face. He said to Xu Zhenping: "Zhiyuan is stubborn, but if you turn your head and stick to it, you can carve a tree. Mr. Xu, take care...don't stand here, come in Drinking tea in the house...cutting willows."

"Hey."

Elder Yue seemed to know that he was ashamed to raise the sickly "beauty" orchid, pointed to the wilted leaves with his chin, and whispered: "...move to the outhouse." Yue Jianliu did as he did, When passing by Xu Zhiyuan, he asked gently: "Zhiyuan, did you draw the 'Old Yue' on my father's composition paper?"

Xu Zhiyuan coughed twice in embarrassment.

"No wonder the painting exhibition that day, I saw the 'remnants' on the palm of your hand familiar to me," Yue Lao's favorite daughter commented solemnly, "The painting really looks like it, Zhiyuan, you have talent."

Xu Zhiyuan: "..."

……

Xu Zhiyuan sat next to Xu Zhenping, listening to them talking about the spring and autumn events, Xu Zhenping didn't talk much, the main thing was that Yue Lao was eloquent, Xu Zhiyuan sneaked a glance at his father, and found that he was listening very seriously.

Xu Zhiyuan felt uncomfortable in every possible way, and made up a legitimate reason for running away in his heart, but he didn't know that Mr. Xu "if you don't talk, you're done, and if you open your mouth, you'll talk." Once he opened his mouth, the topic fell from the meeting of the wind and clouds, and fell on Xu Zhiyuan's marriage. .

"Xu Zhiyuan, it's time for you to get married."

At that time, Xu Zhiyuan's legs were numb from sitting, and he moved his place to relieve the numbness. He was choking on his saliva when he asked a sudden question, and carefully glanced at each other between Yue Lao and Xu Zhenping, while Yue Lao was looking embarrassed. He stroked his beard, but didn't even talk to him.

Xu Zhiyuan said "ah" cautiously.

Xu Zhenping: "Look at Mr. Yue..."

Old Yue suddenly coughed, and said: "Xu Zhiyuan is a young man who is full of vigor and youth. He should study hard and not indulge in pornographic pleasures...Master Xu, it's too early for you to talk about this."

Xu Zhenping looked at him with some confusion: "Yue Xian..."

Yue Lao raised his eyebrows and stared at him, as if he was worried that his words were too direct and abrupt, but he said euphemistically: "...However, there is no harm in getting married earlier, you can get married after you have learned something , One is peace of mind, and the other is restrained by the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, so as not to be bewitched by some nondescript 'free love' when studying."

Let him talk about the good and the bad, Xu Zhenping had nothing to say, put down his outstretched hand, and only agreed with "um".

While the two elders were flirting with each other, Xu Zhiyuan also saw clearly the "long-planned plan" of the two, and Mrs. Xu should also be with them.

No wonder old man Yue was so devoted to him in the early stage, it turned out that he was trained according to the standards of his son-in-law.

Xu Zhiyuan's expression was cold, and he glanced out of the window irritably. The magpie refused to stay on the branch for a while, and just settled down slightly, before flapping its wings and flying away again.

Xu Zhiyuan listened to them talking about Yue Jianliu again, and the purpose was obvious, his brain rushed, and he suddenly said: "I have someone I like."

After more than ten seconds of silence, Xu Zhenping's first reaction was: "Who is it?"

Elder Yue had a pimple between his eyebrows. After thinking for a long time, he glanced at Xu Zhenping, rubbed his beard and said, "It was... Editor Li introduced it to you?"

"No, I know it." Xu Zhiyuan scratched his clothes with his nails, accentuating the word "myself", with a deliberate tone.

"..."

Yue Lao's pimple got bigger and bigger, and just as he was about to speak, Yue Jianliu suddenly walked in with a bag of tea, and said, "Father, I didn't find the one you mentioned in the study, can you look at this, before I see you I also often drink."

"Leave it here." Seeing his daughter coming, Mr. Yue also swallowed his words abruptly, his eyes wandered around the upper bodies of the people present, and finally stood up with a heavy heart, and said, "I'll look for it."

Xu Zhenping glared at him: "Xu Zhiyuan."

Xu Zhiyuan looked at his father as if nothing had happened, and said, "What's wrong."

"I'll tell you when I get home." Yue Jianliu was present, so Xu Zhenping could only pretend to sweep the dust off his thighs, and said seriously.

"Oh."

Even though he knew that he would definitely quarrel with Master Xu when he returned home, Xu Zhiyuan still felt inexplicably comfortable.

……

Xu Zhiyuan asked Yu Yao to pick up his notes at noon today, and he was going to Ming University, but Xu Zhenping didn't stop him.

Before leaving, Yue Jianliu made an appointment with Xu Zhiyuan for the next meeting place, which was still Yangzhi Bookstore, reminding him not to forget to bring his masterpiece.

Xu Zhiyuan agreed with a smile, turned the alley out of the alley, and hailed a rickshaw to go to Ming University.

The weather was cold and the road was slippery, the driver ran a bit slowly, and by tomorrow time the students had already finished their classes and had lunch, Xu Zhiyuan went to the office but couldn't find Yu Yao, so he asked his roommate, only to hear that Teacher Yu had gone out with the students.

Xu Zhiyuan also felt empty in his stomach and hungry, and wanted to find Yu Yao for a meal in the school cafeteria on a whim.Because he was famous in Jiming when he was wandering before, a few students scattered on the road waved hello to him.So he picked a familiar person and asked if he saw a big beauty at the dining place.

The student smiled and said, "Teacher Yu, I just met him and said hello."

Xu Zhiyuan asked: "...How do you know I'm talking about him?"

The student didn't know their relationship, so he patted Xu Zhiyuan on the shoulder, and said, "I know who doesn't know Teacher Yu's beauty, there are teachers and students queuing up in front of his office every day, and it's hot, I plan to ask for advice these days. Why? Young master, did you come here because of the name... Sigh!"

Xu Zhiyuan said: "You, go out for a walk to digest food when you are full, don't be idle."

The student giggled twice, swept the dust on his buttocks kicked by Xu Zhiyuan a few times, and watched him walk through the crowd into the cafeteria.

The cafeteria was not too big or too small, Xu Zhiyuan walked in halfway, and saw two familiar faces.

They were sitting on the table in the corner, and that place didn't seem to please the students, because the big windows were not covered by curtains, and they were open to the sun, so they were covered with bright sunlight all morning.

Xia En, who was dancing, seemed to be talking to Yu Yao about his study problems. A line was cut obliquely on the table, and Yu Yao was sitting in the bright place opposite him, his eyelashes were covered with warmth, smiling and squinting at Xia En. Eun looks excited.

In the middle of his speech, he slapped his head, stood up and said he wanted to change places, and asked Mr. Yu if he wanted to dry it.

Yu Yao waved his hand, indicating that it doesn't matter. The topic returned to the question, and said: "Your idea is very good, at least it is the most clear and simple one among the students who gave the lecture."

Xia En was taken aback, then stood and scratched his head: "Thank you for your guidance..."

He suddenly patted his head again in surprise, and said, "By the way, teacher, you haven't eaten yet! I'm sorry, I'm going to serve it to you!"

"Oh, be careful."

He turned around while talking, but didn't hear Yu Yao calling him, so he bumped into someone.

"Hello!" Only a few scattered sounds were heard, and the surroundings of that small place became quiet for a while.

Witnessing this scene, Xu Zhiyuan frowned suddenly, avoiding the crowd in front of him and quickly stepped forward.

The boy who was hit said: "It's not a classmate, why are you so excited, don't you see someone beside you?"

Yu Yao's clothes were splashed with leftovers, and the rest of the clothes were also splashed a little. Xia En was at a loss, just about to say sorry, but when he looked up, his voice froze, and he could only say "Why are you?" .

"Oh... so it's Xia En, what a coincidence." The boys said to their companions, raising eyebrows secretly.
