Not enough greed

, Paste the couplets and blessing characters.

"It's so ugly." Su Chen stood far away and looked at the door of his house.

Zhou Zheng put away the folding escalator: "Well, it's ugly."

Su Chen bent down to pick up the glue that was thrown on the ground, the two looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing.

This year's Chinese New Year, there are still only the two of them in the family, so naturally they don't need to be too particular. Su Chen doesn't like eating in restaurants outside, so the two of them take turns cooking the three meals.At this time, there were many people and cars on the street, and Zhou Zheng was not the kind of person who liked to join in the fun, and there was nothing to buy, so the two simply stayed at home, eating, sleeping, reading, and basking in the sun. People also gradually become lazy.

On New Year's Eve, it was already ten o'clock in the morning when Su Chen woke up, and the sunlight outside the window was a bit dazzling, making him subconsciously reach out his hand to cover his eyes.Sensing his movement, Zhou Zheng put the book in his hand aside, and reached out to help him cover his eyes: "Are you awake?"

"Well," Su Chen blinked, his eyelashes brushed against Zhou Zheng's palm, tickling, "Sleepy..."

"Just squint for a while longer if you're sleepy." Zhou Zheng said, pressing the automatic button on the bedside, and the opaque curtains were quickly closed automatically. Zhou Zheng withdrew his hand and opened a small bedside window. Light, take the book and continue reading.

Su Chen slept for another half an hour before waking up. The two got up from the bed, made some breakfast after washing up, and then began to think about lunch.

Although there were only two people, it was Chinese New Year after all, and in the end, three more dishes were added to the lunch than usual. Zhou Zheng was in charge, and Su Chen was in the kitchen helping him choose and chop vegetables.The two of them cooperated tacitly, and soon cooked up a table of delicacies. Su Chen opened the rice cooker, took out the sausage and bacon inside, cut them into bowls and put them on the dining table, and said with emotion: "There are so many dishes, sure Can't finish it."

Zhou Zheng took two empty bowls and two pairs of chopsticks and set them up: "It's okay, if you can't finish eating, you can save it for dinner."

Su Chen glanced at him with a smile: "You let me eat leftovers when it's Chinese New Year?"

Zhou Zheng immediately changed his words: "Then I will eat it at night."

Su Chen was overjoyed, and grinningly made a face at him, sat down in her seat, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat.

After lunch, Zhou Zheng cleared the dining table. Seeing that he was still sitting at the dining table, he couldn't help being a little surprised: "Aren't you full?"

Su Chen shook her head: "I'm full..."

Zhou Zheng laughed: "Why are you still the same as when you were a child..."

Su Chen stared at him and acted coquettishly in a low voice: "It's hard, rub it for me..."

Zhou Zheng hesitated for a moment, then walked forward, stretched out his hand to gently rub his stomach as he did a few years ago, Su Chen leaned on him, squinting comfortably, looking like a cat being groomed cat.

In the afternoon Zhou Zheng was sitting in the study reading a book, Su Chen went somewhere to play and disappeared.Zhou Zheng stayed in the study until four o'clock, thinking about making dinner earlier. When he walked to the dining room, he happened to see Su Chen hurrying out of the kitchen holding a box of something. He didn't even wear the apron on his body. I had time to untie it.

"Xiao Chen?"

Su Chen glanced at him in a panic, saw that he seemed to be going to the kitchen, and hurriedly said, "Wait, I haven't packed it yet, so don't go in yet."

Zhou Zheng looked at Su Chen puzzled, but nodded and stopped.Su Chen put the box in the refrigerator, trotted into the kitchen and closed the door, Zhou Zheng only heard the sound of ping-pong-pong inside, and the door opened after a while.

"Okay?" Zhou Zheng glanced into the kitchen, Su Chen had already tidied it up, and there was nothing tricky to see.

Su Chen nodded and asked, "Are you going to prepare dinner?"

"Well," Zhou Zheng said, walked into the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves, "what do you want to eat tonight?"

In the end, the dishes at night were more abundant than those at noon, and Su Chen was guarded by Zhou Zheng, so he finally stopped eating.The rest of the dishes were put into the kitchen cabinet, and only the bowl of braised carp was left on the table, covered with a cover, which symbolized the good omen of surplus every year.

The two rested for a while, took a bath one after another, Su Chen put the dirty clothes in the washing machine and washed them, Zhou Zheng took them out to dry.The rubbish had been thrown out long ago, and the melon seeds and candies I had bought before were put on a fruit plate and placed on the table, with a basket of washed fruits beside it.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Su Chen and Zhou Zheng sat on the sofa together, watching the Spring Festival Gala under a blanket.

The annual Spring Festival Gala is actually the same, but after getting used to it, if you don’t watch it, you will feel that something is missing.This year's Spring Festival Gala is still the same, with song and dance sketches, crosstalk Peking opera, and sometimes Su Chen will laugh twice when seeing a slightly more interesting sketch, Zhou Zheng is always expressionless, only when Su Chen laughs, The expression on his face will be softer.

Four hours passed quickly, Su Chen struggled to sit up, squinted his eyes and yawned, listening to the countdown of the host on TV, Zhou Zheng also sat up, put the two vibrating mobile phones on the table It's muted.

“5——4——3——2——1——”

At this moment, the whole city became lively, and cheers could be faintly heard even in this community on the outskirts of the city. Su Chen and Zhou Zheng looked at each other and said in unison: "Happy New Year!"

Both of them had warm smiles on their faces, and they felt that happiness was overflowing in their hearts.

As usual, Zhou Zheng prepared a red envelope for Su Chen. Su Chen said "Gong Xi Fa Cai", and unceremoniously opened the red envelope after receiving it. Inside it was 660.Zhou Zheng has raised Su Chen for so many years, and has never treated him badly in terms of money, so this red envelope during the Chinese New Year is more of a good meaning, not just a matter of money.

Su Chen happily put away the red envelope, Zhou Zheng was about to turn off the TV and tell people to go to bed, but Su Chen held back his hand.

"what happened?"

Su Chen pursed her lips and said, "I have a gift for you."

Zhou Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Really? What is it?"

Su Chen asked him to sit down, then ran to the refrigerator to take out the mysterious box, and placed it in front of Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng asked, "Can I open it now?"

Su Chen nodded nervously.

Zhou Zheng gently opened the box, and inside was a neat box of heart-shaped chocolates, the workmanship looked rough, and there was no decoration on it.Zhou Zheng recalled how Su Chen came out of the kitchen in a hurry in the afternoon, and asked, "You made this?"

Su Chen's face was already slightly red, and when she heard Zhou Zheng's question, she nodded quickly: "I melted the chocolate I bought back into this shape, and added some milk, but I don't know how it tastes... "

Under Su Chen's earnest eyes, Zhou Zheng picked one of them up and put it in his mouth. After eating, he said after deliberation, "It tastes good."

"Really?" Su Chen immediately became happy, and walked a few steps forward to get in front of Zhou Zheng. Zhou Zheng thought he wanted the chocolate, so he backed away a little, but Su Chen tilted his head lightly. Qing kissed the corner of Zhou Zheng's mouth, and playfully stuck out her tongue to lick the corner of his mouth, then blushed and pretended to be serious, "It's so sweet."

After Su Chen finished speaking, he turned and fled back to the bedroom, leaving Zhou Zheng sitting on the sofa in a daze, not knowing what to do with the box of chocolates.The clock hanging on the wall has pointed to 12:30, and the red LED light on the electronic dial shows today's date.

February [-]th, the first day of the new year.

Happy Valentine's Day.Happy New Year.

☆, wedding

Logically speaking, during the first month, one would go out to see relatives, but the Zhou family was in a special situation, there were really no relatives to visit, and all the places to visit in the city were closed for the Spring Festival, so the two of them stayed at home with nothing to do. one day.

On the third day of the first lunar month, there was an unexpected visitor. When the doorbell rang, Su Chen was still under the quilt, and Zhou Zheng got out of bed lightly. As soon as he turned on the monitor at the door, he saw Mu Qingyun's smiling face on the screen. With a very flat face: "Quickly open the door, I will drag my family to pay you New Year's greetings, why don't you let me stand at the door and drink the northwest wind?"

"Wait." Zhou Zheng hung up the call neatly, then tidied himself up, and then opened the door unhurriedly to welcome Mu Qingyun's family in.

Of course, Mu Qingyun would not come empty-handed, but with their identities and friendship, it was too weird to come to New Year greetings with their hands full of nutrition, so Mu Qingyun looked around after entering the room, and asked, "Where is Xiaochen?"

"Don't look, he's still sleeping," Zhou Zheng turned his head and asked the two ladies, "What do you want to drink?"

Mu Ziyan didn't speak, Yun Lingling waved her hand: "Don't bother..."

Mu Qingyun held her hand and pressed it on the sofa: "Ginseng oolong tea." After he finished speaking, he turned his head and whispered to Yun Lingling: "They are all good brothers, you don't have to be so polite with him, there are many good things in his house .” Yun Lingling smiled shyly, and the two seemed to have a good relationship.

Zhou Zheng dug out the tea set to make tea, sat on the single sofa by himself, took a cup of tea in his hand, but didn't drink it: "Why do you suddenly think of New Year's greetings?"

"Hey, I miss you!" Mu Qingyun always looks like this when he is not talking about serious business, "The servants at home are on holiday today, so I have to bring someone to your place for dinner .”

Zhou Zheng said indifferently: "Tsk, you evil capitalist. My servants here have already been on vacation."

Mu Qingyun asked: "Could it be that you have been eating out these few days?"

Zhou Zheng shook his head, and Mu Qingyun asked incredulously, "Could it be that you can cook?"

Zhou Zheng didn't speak, and took a sip of the hot tea in his cup.

The two of them chatted for a while, and Mu Ziyan could occasionally add a word, but Yun Lingling kept silent. Mu Qingyun saw that his wife was uncomfortable, so he changed the subject: "How is your garden?"

Zhou Zheng glanced at him knowingly, and replied: "It's still not the same. There are a lot of wintersweet blooms this year, you can go and have a look."

Mu Qingyun nodded, pulled Yun Lingling up, and was about to say something, when Zhou Zheng asked: "Can you find the way?" Seeing him nodding, Zhou Zheng also stood up: "Then you go first, I'm sorry for a while, Xiaochen should wake up soon."

Mu Qingyun glanced at Mu Ziyan subconsciously, and seeing her shaking her head slightly, she nodded again: "Success."

When Zhou Zheng returned to the bedroom, Su Chen was still sleeping. He stared at Su Chen for a while, then walked over and called him in a low voice, "Xiaochen? Xiaochen?"

Su Chen opened his eyes in a daze: "Hmm... Ah Zheng?"

Seeing his laziness, Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Well, I got up, there are guests at home today."

Su Chen woke up a little bit, and asked, "Guest? Who?"

"Mu Qingyun," Zhou Zheng took out a set of clothes from the closet and gave it to Su Chen, "and his wife and sister."

Su Chen sat up immediately after hearing the word "sister", and asked, "Mu Ziyan is here too?"

Zhou Zheng nodded: "Yes. Remember to call me sister when you meet."

Su Chen muttered something in a low voice, but Zhou Zheng didn't hear clearly and didn't care. Seeing that he was about to change clothes, he was about to leave: "What do you want for breakfast?"

Su Chen glanced at the time displayed on the alarm clock: "Whatever, it's almost lunch time anyway—they don't want to stay for dinner, do they?!"

Seeing his angry face, Zhou Zheng couldn't help laughing: "It seems so. Milk, toast and fried eggs, are you okay?"

"whatever!"

Seeing Su Chen started to change clothes, Zhou Zheng didn't stay any longer, and after closing the door, he went to the kitchen and started preparing breakfast for the two of them.

When they finished breakfast and went to the garden to find Mu Qingyun and his party, the three of them were sitting in the gazebo to rest. Seeing Su Chen coming, Mu Qingyun took out a red envelope from his pocket: "Xiaochen, come quickly, this year red envelope!"

Su Chen ran over to say Happy New Year to him, and politely greeted Yun Lingling and Mu Ziyan, took the red envelope and put it in his pocket.

Mu Qingyun said: "Don't you take it apart and have a look?"

Su Chen replied with a smile: "Because you give the same ones every year, and you don't need to open them to know what they are."

Everyone else laughed when they heard the words, even Yun Lingling laughed out loud. Mu Qingyun touched her nose without feeling embarrassed.

A group of people chatted and laughed, and soon it was lunch time. Considering that the Mu Qingyun brothers and sisters are the type who don't stick their fingers in the spring water, Zhou Zheng, Su Chen and Yun Lingling cooked the lunch together in the end.During the meal, Yun Lingling couldn't help but praise Zhou Zheng, which made Mu Qingyun so jealous that he insisted on "showing off", and took the initiative to take over the task of washing the dishes after the meal. Yun Lingling was worried about him, and followed him go in.

The two people over there were washing the dishes while making love, while Zhou Zheng, Su Chen and Mu Ziyan were sitting in the living room, but the atmosphere was a bit awkward.Mu Ziyan tried to stir up the topic several times, but was disturbed by Su Chen. Zhou Zheng remained silent most of the time, and occasionally answered her a few words, all in a polite and distant tone.

Mu Ziyan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said to Zhou Zheng: "I have something to tell you." After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Su Chen, the meaning in her eyes was self-evident, but Su Chen seemed completely As if he didn't understand, he sat motionless next to Zhou Zheng, and was in a stalemate with her like this.

Zhou Zheng sighed, and rubbed Su Chen's hair: "Can you go to the study for a while to read?"

When Su Chen heard this, he turned to look at Zhou Zheng. Seeing the stubbornness and uneasiness in his eyes, Zhou Zheng's heart suddenly softened.

"Good boy," Zhou Zheng stroked Su Chen's stiff back, coaxing him patiently, "You go up first, and I'll come up to accompany you in a while."

Receiving Zhou Zheng's reassurance and reassurance, Su Chen went upstairs step by step. Zhou Zheng watched him disappear at the end of the stairs, and then turned around and asked Mu Ziyan: "I don't know what Miss Mu wants to talk about?"

Mu Ziyan bit her lower lip and was silent for a while before saying: "I have liked you for a long time."

Zhou Zheng had no expression on his face: "I know."

Mu Ziyan said again: "Even now, you still don't want to marry me."

Zhou Zheng still had that unkind look: "Yes."

Mu Ziyan was hurt by his indifferent attitude and broke down a bit.She almost growled and asked, "Why?!"

Zhou Zheng didn't answer, but she said the answer immediately: "It's because of Su Chen."

Zhou Zheng nodded as an answer.

"I can treat Su Chen as my own child, just like my own..."

"Miss Mu," Zhou Zheng interrupted her coldly, "Xiaochen is my child, not yours."

Mu Ziyan was taken aback for a moment, as if she hadn't reacted.

Zhou Zhengdao: "About the relationship between you and me, I think I have made it very clear to your brother. Xiaochen doesn't like you, and neither do I."

After he finished speaking, he left Mu Ziyan and stood blankly in the living room, went upstairs to find Su Chen, and came down after he coaxed Su Chen, but there was no one downstairs.

In March, Zhou Zheng received Mu Ziyan's engagement post. When Mu Qingyun delivered the post to him, he stared at his face for a long while. Zhou Zheng said with an unchanged expression, "Congratulations."

Mu Qingyun was silent, but finally heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, brother."

Zhou Zheng brought Su Chen to attend Mu Ziyan's engagement banquet. The groom's choice was beyond Zhou Zheng's expectations, so that he was a little surprised when he saw the black panther in a neat suit.

Su Chen naturally went up to say hello: "Congratulations, Brother Leopard, for getting what he wanted!"

"Thank you," Hei Bao, who usually has a stern face, smiled happily today, "I also hope you will get what you want as soon as possible." He shook hands: "I would like to borrow your good words."

Mu Ziyan is wearing a snow-white wedding dress today, with light makeup on her face, and the long skirt makes her look like a fairy in the sky.Many people who were familiar with Black Panther praised his good fortune. Mu Qingyun hooked Zhou Zheng's shoulder and asked, "Is my sister beautiful?!"

Zhou Zheng nodded: "Beautiful."

Mu Qingyun pretended to look at him with disdain: "Do you regret it? Ha, it's late—la—"

Zhou Zheng let him make jokes, and was not angry, but Su Chen, who had finished chatting with the black panther, turned around and came back, and when he heard Mu Qingyun's words, he exploded.

Seeing Su Chen coming over, Mu Qingyun let go of the hand on Zhou Zheng's shoulder, and said with emotion: "Tsk, it's been so many years, and the little guy is still so unpleasant about this kind of thing."

Su Chen didn't hear this sentence, but Zhou Zheng didn't respond when he heard it. He just reached out to help Su Chen straighten his collar, and explained as always: "Remember not to drink later, no matter who toasts you, you are not allowed to drink." drink."

Su Chen nodded obediently, and followed Zhou Zheng obediently, like a follower.

Mu Qingyun glanced at him, and asked Zhou Zheng in a low voice: "Seriously, you are so old, you really don't plan to find a partner? Just stay single like this?"

Zhou Zheng replied: "No need. I have Xiao Chen to accompany me now, so I don't need to find anyone else for company."

Zhou Zheng's voice was very low, Su Chen only vaguely heard him mentioning himself, then turned around and asked, "What?"

Zhou Zheng shook his head and pulled him inside: "It's nothing, let's go in. The banquet is about to start."

Su Chen was taken aback for a moment, and then let him pull, the smile on his face couldn't stop: "Oh, good!"

☆, college entrance examination

After June, Su Chen officially entered the hell devil training stage in the third year of high school. During the summer vacation, the school arranged make-up classes, starting from morning reading at [-]:[-] in the morning and finishing after the evening self-study at [-]:[-] in the evening.

At first, Zhou Zheng didn't intend to let Su Chen live out, but after picking up Su Chen several times, seeing him get up before dawn every day, and fell asleep in the car when he got home at night, Zhou Zheng felt distressed. In the end, I rented a room in the community next to the school.

When Zhou Zheng completed the formalities and was about to take Su Chen to see the house, Su Chen started to quarrel with him.

"I don't want to move out." Su Chen said pitifully.

Zhou Zheng patted his head: "Hey, take a look first. You can sleep at least two more hours a day living here. You haven't been able to get enough sleep during this time, and you are almost becoming a national treasure."

"But I don't want to live here." Su Chen was wronged and stubborn.

Zhou Zheng walked forward on his own, let him make trouble, and only said: "I will stay here to accompany you."

When Su Chen heard this, she immediately calmed down: "What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly."

Zhou Zheng stopped and looked at him with a half-smile: "I said I would live here too. Do you still want to see the house?"

"Look!" Su Chen hurriedly responded, seeing Zhou Zheng walking forward, hurriedly followed, and kept asking, "Where is that house probably located? How big is it?" ? How many beds are there?..."

Zhou Zheng didn't think he was noisy, so he patiently answered every sentence, and led him to the door of the room he rented, and took out the key to open the door.

Of course, the house Zhou Zheng is looking for is not too bad. Although the rent of the school district is not cheap, money is not an issue to him at all. It’s just that the conditions near the school are limited, so the house is small, and it’s not as good as his own home after all. The good condition is that.

Zhou Zheng took Su Chen around the room, and gave him a general introduction to his arrangements. Su Chen was very satisfied with the only big bed in the room, but he was a little hesitant about the only study room.

"In this case, do you think it's too troublesome?" Su Chen asked, "And the study room is given to me, what about you?"

Zhou Zheng smiled at him: "No trouble, don't worry. I can finish the work in the company, or do it when you go to study at night. Don't be too tired yourself. Although studying is very important, you have to do it first. Make sure you get enough sleep and nutrition. Your body comes first, you know?"

Su Chen nodded, looking around this new home curiously, not sure if she listened or not.

After moving near the school, Su Chen felt much more relaxed. She didn't have to struggle to get out of bed every morning before dawn, and she could drink a cup of hot milk before going to bed at night.

The daily breakfast is prepared by Zhou Zheng. Eggs, milk, toast and noodles are exchanged to ensure sufficient nutrition without getting tired of eating. Sometimes on weekends, Zhou Zheng will rarely relax and learn to cook mung bean porridge and sour plum soup; Chinese food For dinner, the cook at home made the package, and Zhou Zheng drove it to the school. The two of them sat in the cafeteria and ate together. After eating, Zhou Zheng took the lunch box away.

Xue Qian, who was still in the same class as Su Chen, once said enviously, "Isn't Uncle Zhou very busy at work? He also comes to deliver meals to you every day, which is very kind to you."

Su Chen didn't say anything, but kept this sentence in his heart, and when Zhou Zheng came to deliver the food again in the evening, Su Chen tentatively asked: "Will it be too much trouble for you to come and deliver the food to me every day? There are a lot of work waiting for you to deal with, right? Otherwise, I'll eat in the cafeteria by myself..."

"It's okay," Zhou Zheng interrupted him, "don't think about it, there's nothing wrong with the company. I've seen the food in the cafeteria, and it tastes far worse than home-cooked food. You must not be used to it. Besides, Eating canteen all day long, the nutrition can’t keep up.”

So this proposal was killed by Zhou Zheng. Su Chen enjoyed the meticulous service of Young Master Zhou with peace of mind every day. By the time of the college entrance examination in June, he had gained a lot of weight.

On the day of Su Chen's college entrance examination, the weather was very hot, and Zhou Zheng sent him to school: "Take it easy."

Su Chen waved at him with the document bag containing the examination supplies, turned and entered the examination room.

There were many parents who accompanied the exam at the school gate, and many of them gathered outside the cordon to chat in twos and threes after the exam started.For fear of affecting the exam, the voices of the parents were not loud. To Zhou Zheng's ears, it was like the screeching of mosquitoes in a summer thunderstorm night, which annoyed him.But the college entrance examination is a big event after all, and it's never just the candidates who are nervous. Zhou Zheng also understands that these parents want to talk to relieve their nervousness.

Zhou Zheng seemed to be sitting in the car calmly, holding a book in his hand and pretending to read it. In fact, he had been staring at this page for a long time, but he didn't read a single word.The air conditioner is turned on in the car, soothing light music is playing on the player, and a thermos cup is placed on the passenger seat, which contains the iced sour plum soup that was just taken out of the refrigerator this morning. It is obviously an extremely comfortable environment, but Zhou Zheng There is always some restlessness.

After struggling for a while, Zhou Zheng put down the book in his hand, turned off the player and got out of the car. He walked to a nearby tree and stood there. An aunt saw him and came up to greet him warmly: "Young man, are you coming to accompany the exam too?" ?”

Zhou Zheng nodded, and the aunt said clearly: "Are you here to accompany your younger siblings? They are all only children now, and there are not many brothers and sisters in the family!"

Zhou Zheng nodded: "It's... my brother."

The uncle next to him came up and asked, "Your brother also studies in this high school?"

"Correct."

The uncle smiled and said, "My kid is also from this high school! He is in class G1405."

When the aunt heard it, she immediately exclaimed: "G1405 class is a key class, your child must have good grades!"

The uncle scratched the back of his head, smiled shyly and proudly: "Hey, isn't it just like that... where is your child?"

As parents, there are always endless things to talk about when talking about their children, but in a short time, Zhou Zheng heard that the two had exchanged their children's class names, hobbies, and even made an appointment to have lunch together. Almost in time for a blind date.

Seeing that Zhou Zheng was silent and did not speak, the two chatted for a while, and the aunt turned to Zhou Zheng: "Where is your brother? Which class is he in?"

Zhou Zheng replied: "Class G1413."

"Class 1413!" the uncle sighed, "This is the best class in the whole year, your brother will definitely get into a good university!"

Zhou Zheng smiled: "I would like to borrow your good words."

Time flies in the chat, and before you know it, it is eleven o'clock. There is half an hour left before the end of the exam. Parents gradually calm down and look anxiously at the school gate. Occasionally, candidates who handed in their papers in advance come out of the exam room , the parents guarding the door will greet them immediately, receive the package and hand over the water, and ask for their health.Zhou Zheng went back to the car and sat down first. After confirming that the air conditioner in the car was still working, he opened the thermos and took a sip of sour plum soup. It was sweet and sour, icy and cold, which was Su Chen's favorite taste.Zhou Zheng called home to confirm that the lunch had been delivered, and told the maid to turn on the air conditioner in the house.

Everything was ready, Zhou Zheng was sitting in the car waiting for Su Chen to take the exam, never thought that the time would be so difficult.

Su Chen came out with the crowd of people who had taken the exam after the final bell rang. He quickly found Zhou Zheng's car, opened the door skillfully, got in the car, and fastened his seat belt.The short distance from the classroom to the school gate caused a lot of sweat on Su Chen's forehead. The thermos cup was on his waist behind his back. Zhou Zheng handed over the towel and motioned him to wipe his sweat. He took the towel and put it on He wiped his face randomly, then reached out and took out the thermos cup, shaking it lightly.

"It's still cold," Zhou Zheng said. "You can drink something to quench your thirst, but don't drink too much."

Su Chen opened the lid and took a big sip, then sighed comfortably. Zhou Zheng didn't dare to ask him how he did in the exam, so he said, "I have your favorite crystal shrimp at noon today..." Su Chen listened to him talking all the way, After returning home, I asked, "Why didn't you ask me how I did in the exam?"

Seeing him smiling complacently, Zhou Zheng felt relieved and asked, "How did you do in the exam?"

Su Chen raised her head: "I think it's pretty good."

"so?"

Su Chen blinked, and looked at Zhou Zheng a little shyly: "Reward, reward."

Zhou Zheng laughed. Seeing Su Chen looking at him all the time, he lowered his head slightly and kissed the corner of his mouth: "Come on, keep up the good work."

Su Chen blushed slightly, and smiled like a cat stealing fish.

The college entrance examination lasted for two days, and Zhou Zheng stayed with Su Chen all the time. After the last English test, Zhou Zheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.After Su Chen finished the exam, he received a call from Yuan Chong, inviting him to have a break-up meal. Su Chen originally wanted to refuse, but before he could say anything, Yuan Chong said, "By the way, you can ask Uncle Zhou to come with you, Xue Qian's father will also come, my father said he wants to get to know them."

Su Chen put the phone away, turned to ask Zhou Zheng, Zhou Zheng thought for a while, and nodded: "Is the place fixed? Do you want me to?"

Su Chen shook her head: "It's settled, it's at Songji Restaurant."

Zhou Zheng nodded, turned at the next intersection, Su Chen put the phone to his ear again, and replied to Yuan Chong: "I see, we are coming."

When Su Chen and the others walked into the box, the other four people had already arrived. Yuan Chong and Xue Qian were sitting on the sofa next to them and talking about something. Boss Yuan, who was still pot-bellied, was pulling the middle-aged man next to him for a friendly exchange. .Seeing Su Chen and Zhou Zheng coming, Boss Yuan waved his hand and ordered the waiter to serve the food, then stood up and smiled and extended his hand to Zhou Zheng: "Mr. Zhou, we meet again!"

Zhou Zheng shook hands with him: "Long time no see." Then he turned his head and nodded to the middle-aged man: "Mr. Lin, long time no see."

Lin Yu froze for a moment, then nodded to Zhou Zheng with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, I have long admired you."

☆, Jiuzhai

Six people ate together, three adults chatted about adults, and three children talked about children.

The topic of the adults is, of course, the children.

Boss Yuan was poor when he was young, and his wife ran away with others. Later, by chance, he made a fortune. Many women posted it upside down, but he did not remarry. Instead, he raised Yuan Chong by himself; He lost his wife and was ostracized by Xue's family, so he brought up Xue Qian alone; as for Zhou Zheng, he didn't have a wife at all.

Therefore, it was rare for these three single men to exchange their experience of raising children without being cold.

And what the other three children were talking about was naturally how to play after graduation.

All three of them understand that it will not be so easy for them to get together again after school starts in September. Although they are quite reluctant to part with each other, they tacitly did not talk about this topic, but started to discuss graduation trips thing.

It's still the beginning of June, most schools haven't had their summer vacation yet, and the weather is not as hot as July and August, so it's a good time to go on a trip. He showed Su Chen and Yuan Chong all the information he had found before.

"It's too hot here in the southeast, and we've all been around, so it's boring. I'm looking at Yunnan, Sichuan, and Inner Mongolia. Yunnan can go to Shangri-La, Lijiang, and Cangshan Erhai. Sichuan has Jiuzhaigou, Huanglong, and Mount Emei. These two provinces We are close together, if we have enough time, we can play both, and we can also go to Lugu Lake. Inner Mongolia is the prairie." Xue Qian concluded, pointing to the pictures on the information.

Yuan Chong took a look at the information on Mount Emei and said, "What's the point of Mount Emei? The master's territory is full of nuns..."

Xue Qian replied angrily: "Your size, is that the Emei school?!"

Su Chen read the information carefully, saw Xue Qian staring at him with hope, and replied calmly: "I will discuss it with Ah Zheng before making a decision."

Yuan Chong said: "I said you are an adult, why are you still acting like a child, you have to ask Uncle Zhou for instructions on everything?"

Su Chen didn't bother to talk to him.

Going home after dinner, Su Chen sat lazily in the car, pretending not to care about talking about the graduation trip, but quietly observing Zhou Zheng's expression.

"Graduation trip?" The smile on Zhou Zheng's face stagnated, and then returned to normal, "Have you discussed where to go?"

Su Chen nodded: "Sichuan or Yunnan, Xue Qian said that Lugu Lake is good."

"It's not bad." Zhou Zheng said, "Pearl of the plateau, the scenery is very beautiful, you should like it."

Su Chen asked, "Have you been there?"

"No." After Zhou Zheng finished speaking, seeing Su Chen looking at him expectantly, he smiled knowingly, shook his head and said, "But since it's your graduation trip, I'd better not bother you, if I go with you, they You two will feel uncomfortable too?"

Hearing what he said, Su Chen's face suddenly collapsed: "But I want to go with you..."

I want to see thousands of scenery with you, I want to experience all kinds of life with you, I want to go through all the mountains and rivers in the world with you, and I want to experience all the big and small things in life with you.

But Zhou Zheng asked: "Don't you want to have a good time with your friends? When you go to university, there will be much fewer opportunities like this."

"Of course I want to..." Su Chen muttered.But I want to be with you more.

Zhou Zheng said, "Let's go." He parked the car, and seeing that Su Chen still looked unhappy, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his head.

"It's still early," Zhou Zheng said.Su Chen looked up at him puzzled, Zhou Zheng smiled at him with an extremely gentle tone.

"It's still early, you can go to Lugu Lake with your friends first, and when you come back at the end of June and fill out your volunteer application, we will go on a trip together. Didn't you always want to go to Bali before? There is nothing to do in the company in July, and we can go there Play for half a month, if you feel bored, you can go to other places."

"We still have a lot of time to be together. If you want, you can go to Lugu Lake with me again, or any place you want to go."

Life is still so long, we can spend it slowly together.

Xue Qian was very mobile. After confirming the time with Su Chen and Yuan Chong, he hurriedly bought the air tickets. After Zhou Zheng asked about their itinerary, he helped them book the hotel at the first stop.

After sending Su Chen to the airport, Zhou Zheng worriedly told him, "You must pay attention to safety, do you understand?"

Su Chen nodded, and Yuan Chong, who arrived early, put his arm around his shoulder and patted his chest with the other hand: "Don't worry, Uncle Zhou! I will protect Xiao Chen!"

Su Chen patted the hand on her shoulder away with a "slap", and said goodbye to Zhou Zheng: "Then I'm leaving."

Zhou Zheng nodded and handed the suitcase to him: "It's fun."

Su Chen took the suitcase, looked at Zhou Zheng reluctantly, and walked away step by step. Zhou Zheng stood in place and watched him leave until the figure disappeared into the crowd.

Xue Qian's first stop was Jiuzhaigou.

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at Jiuzhai Huanglong Airport. The three of them got off the plane and got on the hotel bus with their luggage. They staggered for nearly two hours before finally arriving at Mizoguchi.
