Warm and respectful people

As soon as Shen Xueyu finished speaking, Xia Wen's dangling leg stopped, and then slowly leaned against the edge of the bed.

Half-dry hair was messy in front of the eyes like fluffy weeds, Xia Wen shrunk his neck, only Shen Xueyu's waist could be seen.The shirt, which was originally quite wide, looked crumpled due to a day's work, and there were faintly visible oil stains and watermarks on it.

girlfriend?

When she was a child, Xia Wen fantasized about the scene of confessing to Shen Xueyu countless times in her heart. She imagined many kinds of sloppy behaviors, and she even thought about how to proceed if Shen Xueyu was killed and unwilling.

At an unrestrained age, except for things that are not allowed by law, she has thought about everything she can think about.At that time, she didn't understand the truth of the four words "two love each other".

But she never thought about the scene where Shen Xueyu confessed to herself.

Maybe it was because of her limited imagination, maybe it was because Shen Xueyu was too indifferent at that time, she couldn't imagine how such a person would express her love for another person.

After finishing speaking, Shen Xueyu unplugged the hair dryer, rolled up the cord, walked out of the bedroom, and put it in a drawer in the bathroom.

The movement was smooth, as if the sentence just now did not come from her mouth.

Xia Wen was in a trance for a moment.

Have you been hallucinating yourself?

After Shen Xueyu settled down with Xia Wen, she left.Xia Wen, who was already lying on the bed, felt a little hot, and lifted a large piece of the quilt she had covered her body, and then she heard the sound of the security door closing.

She looked up at the ceiling, fingering the small purple flowers on the bed sheet.

The sound of the car starting downstairs came from outside the window.

In the silent night, Xia Wen's hearing became particularly sensitive.

When Shen Xueyu said before that she wanted to pursue herself, she actually didn't fully listen to these words in her heart, but slowly, she discovered that perhaps Shen Xueyu was not just talking.

In the next week, Xia Wen took sick leave, and Shen Xueyu came to her house more frequently, and Xia Wen went back to her home the next day.

In the past few days, Xia Yuan didn't procrastinate again, and rushed home to cook for Xia Wen as soon as school was over.

In the second week, Xia Wen's feet were mostly healed, so she canceled her vacation and went back to work. Everyone advised her to rest for a few more days, but Xia Wen didn't want to stay at home anymore. It was boring to be alone.

Autumn in Nancheng is getting deeper and deeper. It has rained for several days in a row, with yellow leaves in the patter. When the wind blows, people turn out their woolen wool and thick coats.

It was late autumn when Xia Wen's legs really recovered.

He Wen and Shen Xueyu finalized the time of the final visit, and when Xia Wen was about to go out that morning, He Wen called.

She had just put the changed slippers on the shoe cabinet and opened the door. The mobile phone was sandwiched between her shoulders and ears, and her head was tilted to one side.

"Have you applauded Mr. Shen?" He Wen was sending the child to kindergarten, when there was a noise from the child on the mobile phone.

Xia Wen said "ah": "Is it still so grand?"

"What kind of grand ceremony is this? It's just a basic etiquette. Are you going to let Mr. Shen take a taxi or drive here by yourself? What does this sound like?"

Xia Wen hurried down the stairs, thinking about the importance of the problem while answering the phone.

"Then I'll order one for her now?"

"Then don't hurry up." He Wen hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Xia Wen, who had just walked downstairs, hung his bag on his arm, stood in the middle of the corridor, and took out his mobile phone to order a car.

Just when she was struggling with the car model, she heard the sound of a car horn. She held her mobile phone and raised her head, and then she saw a black Mercedes parked not far away.

The car window was pulled down, and Shen Xue waved to her.

Xia Wen was stunned for a moment, put away the phone and put it in the bag, walked towards the car with the bag in one hand, and stopped a certain distance away.

Shen Xueyu was running out of patience: "Not coming up yet? Didn't you guys invite me?"

We invited you, but I didn't invite you to pick me up for work in the morning, Xia Wen slandered in his heart.

She hesitated for a moment between the co-pilot and the back seat, she tiptoed, she stretched out her hand and opened the door of the back seat.

A gray woolen coat and a gray tote bag were placed on the spacious back seat. When Xia Wen was about to move the things aside, the person in the driver's seat spoke.

Shen Xueyu turned her head, glanced at Xia Wen in the rearview mirror, and pointed her slender fingers on the steering wheel.

"Are you sitting in the back seat? Am I your driver?" The voice was cool.

Xia Wen immediately remembered He Wen's earnest teaching. She was a little guilty, scratched the back of her neck, laughed awkwardly, pulled out, opened the passenger door, and sat up.

She put on her seat belt and the car started.

In the morning rush hour, the road is a bit congested.

Xia Wen was closer to the window, sat up straight, and looked ahead. The silence in the car was a bit uncomfortable. After the last conversation without a follow-up, the two of them hardly spoke.

The deliberate avoidance these days has created a gap between Xia Wen and Shen Xueyu, but she is also the planner and implementer of today's visit.

Xia Wen watched the car in front struggling forward.

Occasionally, there would be some scolding or complaining voices from the drivers around.

Xia Wen glanced at Shen Xueyu next to her from the corner of her eye, but there was no trace of impatience on the other side's face.A thin chain was worn under a thin black turtleneck sweater, which shone in cool colors.

She still coiled her hair up, and only her lips were slightly red on her overly fair face.

Xia Wen saw that Shen Xueyu had no intention of talking, so as long as he had nothing to say, he said, "Did you change the car?"

She remembered that it wasn't this one before, although it was all black.

Shen Xueyu said "hmm" without any expression: "That one is under maintenance."

"Oh."

A topic only used two sentences and one oh from the beginning to the end. For a while, Xia Wen didn't know whether to blame the other party for being the topic terminator or to blame himself for not being able to pick the topic.

The car started slowly, Xia Wen twisted the belt and said, "I should be the one to pick you up this morning."

Shen Xueyu gently slid the steering wheel, the car turned and drove into another road, she glanced at Xia Wen, her eyebrows raised slightly: "But I only received the time and place to meet at the gate of the museum today."

Xia Wen licked her lips: "It was my mistake at work." She really didn't have much experience in this area.

Shen Xueyu thought about it for a while: "Then...do you have to make it up?"

Xia Wen turned his head: "Ah?" How can this be corrected.

"Do you have a driver's license?"

Xia Wen remembered the driver's license book that he was eating ashes at home, and nodded.

"You take me back tonight."

Xia Wen: "Huh?"

After the two of them entered the museum together, He Wen was already waiting in the hall. She stepped forward and said to Shen Xueyu with a little embarrassment: "Our director originally said that he came here in person, but he just went to the district for a meeting this morning. It's gone." Then she saw two people coming in together, and continued to ask: "Xia Wen's pick-up, is Teacher Shen still satisfied?"

Xia Wen's body stiffened for a moment, and she looked at Shen Xueyu with a wooden face.

In Shen Xueyu's eyes, Xia Wen's frightened appearance was quite cute, she paused for a moment, and said to He Wen, "It's pretty good."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Xia Wen's clenched fist loosened.

The content of the visit this morning is the collection of bronze coffins on display.This project was decided by He Wen, and Xia Wen raised his reasonable doubts.

"You don't remember that the newly recruited teachers of Nancheng University came here once before, and Teacher Shen was inside."

"Can I remember? But this time is different. The last time was too simple. This time, you have to let Teacher Shen know that the collections donated by her in the future will be placed in the same exhibition hall as these great works. Think about it. Will you be excited?"

Xia Wen actually wanted to say that based on her understanding of Shen Xueyu, it was impossible to get excited.

Monday is a closed day, and He Wen specially applied for a special visit.

In the empty exhibition hall, it was pitch black. Xia Wen turned on the lights, and the lights surrounding the collection lit up, but the entire large space was still dark.

There was only a slight sound of two people's gentle footsteps on the soft and thick carpet.

Shen Xueyu wore high-waisted smoky gray jeans underneath a high-necked black knit, which made her legs look long and thin.Xia Wen looked at her calmly, and was caught by the other party after just one glance.

Xia Wen straightened the hair next to his ears, turned his head around pretending to be calm, and then pretended to look at an exhibit next to him.

Shen Xueyu also bent down to look, and the faces of two people were printed on the glass cover.

Shen Xueyu: "You can look at it openly."

Xia Wen looked at the blurred Shen Xueyu in the glass and said: "I just admire beautiful beauties, don't think too much about it."

Shen Xueyu looked back at Xia Wen, straightened up, and said, "If you don't tell me, I will think about it."

Xia Wen also stood up straight, rolled his eyes at the dark wall, and said quietly: "You are much thicker now than before."

Shen Xueyu was not annoyed by these sarcasms, as if she couldn't understand people's words, she said: "If I had been thicker earlier, wouldn't we have broken up?"

These days, Shen Xueyu always brings up the past intentionally or unintentionally.

Xia Wen pursed his lips and did not answer. The two continued to walk forward. After walking a short distance, Xia Wen stopped at the starting point where a tour guide would normally stand.

She took out a businesslike look, holding a folder in her hand, which contained exquisite leaflets with detailed information on the collections being exhibited, which are generally not sold to the public, and this is a souvenir for Shen Xueyu after the end .

Although He Wen told her about the key points of the introduction, Xia Wen always felt that Shen Xueyu would not care about these, so she asked cautiously: "What aspects of these cultural relics do you want to know?"

There is a long row of exhibits on one entire wall, and the lights are brighter than those in the middle.

Shen Xueyu really looked at these bronze wares seriously after Xia Wen finished speaking.

She said, "Then tell me why you came to work in the museum."

Xia Wen, who was about to start the introduction, was stunned by this question, and an indescribable emotion slowly rolled up from the bottom of his heart, as if he suddenly relaxed after taking a big deep breath.

The whole person is a little at a loss.

Xia Wen was a little anxious: "Shen Xueyu, you are here to trouble me today, aren't you?"

Shen Xueyu: "I'm very serious. I just think that what can impress you should also impress me."

When she said this, Shen Xueyu, who usually had no extra expression on her face, was a little cautious because of her seriousness.

Xia Wen breathed a sigh of relief in silence, and shifted his gaze from Shen Xueyu's face to the collection in front of him.

"In my junior year, the school and a museum jointly organized a bronze exhibition. The students went to see it for free. There were not enough people to explain and introduce, so I was pulled out. That was the first time I came into contact with bronzes."

The expression on Xia Wen's face came alive: "Don't look at them, they seem to be quite ordinary, compared with the Porcelain Museum, Calligraphy and Painting Museum, they are a little less brilliant, but the knowledge inside is very deep and difficult, involving the change of dynasties, cultural changes, As well as the social customs at that time, as well as the evolution of ancient characters, etc., everything is confusing. Because these things are thousands of years away from us, I read a lot of books, checked a lot of information, and stayed up for several nights. It was the most painful period after my college entrance examination.”

Shen Xueyu had been her teacher for a while, and she could probably imagine how Xia Wen studied hard.

Xia Wen, who was staring at the bronze ware, didn't know that she had also become a treasure in the hearts of others.

Shen Xueyu looked at Xia Wen quietly, she was wearing a black sleeveless sweater over a light brown close-fitting turtleneck, her long hair was tied into a half-height ponytail, and because she was close to the light source, the fluff on her face became clearly visible .

Xia Wen's voice is no longer the rampage of childhood, it has become a stream in the mountains under the sun, rushing on the stones at the bottom of the water, clear and gentle.

"You see, this bronze vessel is a food vessel, but most of the bronze vessels in the pre-Qin period were ritual vessels, used for sacrifices. The decorations on it are the best proof. People believe that they can communicate with gods and ancestors. So in the final analysis, these things are It is a projection of people's ideas at that time. Thousands of years later, we can understand very few of them. Almost every bronze ware you see now cannot be said to have been fully interpreted. They stand quietly Here, don’t you find it interesting to tell us about the civilization of our ancestors when we discover it?”

When Xia Wen laughed, the light in his pupils was particularly obvious in the dim environment.

Shen Xueyu's heart seemed to be scalded.

She stretched out a hand to touch Xia Wen's ponytail, and the silky hair slid across her fingertips.

"...Wen Wen, I am really impressed."

The word "my" at the beginning was held back by her.

Although Shen Xueyu didn't say anything, the slight stutter still made Xia Wen read two words by herself.

Xia Wen pursed her lips, moved her body, and looked at the object directly in front of her.

Shen Xueyu took back her hand that fell in the void.

"We've seen enough here, let's go to the next stop." Xia Wen said.

Shen Xueyu nodded.

The next stop is Xia Wen and their restoration workshop, in the building behind the museum exhibition hall.

Xia Wen took her out.The autumn sunlight is getting thinner and thinner, the withered and yellow leaves hang on the branches, blown by the wind, and fall to the ground, making a soft rustling sound when people step on them.

While waiting for the elevator, Xia Wen asked her as if thinking of something: "How are your grandparents recently?"

Every year when I go back to my hometown these years, my grandparents still occasionally mention Shen Xueyu's grandparents who lived next door. Although she used to live in their home, the faces of the two old people are already very vague in my impression.

Shen Xueyu: "It's still the same, but the two of them take good care of their bodies and listen to the doctor, so there is no serious problem for the time being."

"Then can they take care of themselves abroad?" What Xia Wen actually wanted to ask was whether Shen Xueyu would stay there with them.

"They are used to the life of two people. They are surrounded by a group of peers, and they are not lonely. Sometimes I fly over to see them."

The elevator slowly went up, and when it was about to arrive, Shen Xueyu said to Xia Wen: "Sometimes they still think of you when you were a child, and ask me if you have grown up, and I can take you there next time when I am free."

Xia Wen: "..." What kind of strange operation is this, is it to meet the parents?

She opened her eyes wide and lowered her voice: "Stop talking nonsense!"

After leaving the elevator, Xia Wen unconsciously quickened his pace, leaving Shen Xueyu behind.

When entering the restoration workshop, the old craftsman inside was a little surprised when he saw Xia Wen: "Isn't your shift scheduled today?"

Xia Wen found a chair and sat down: "The team leader asked me to bring someone over to visit."

Several people looked behind her: "Where are people?"

Xia Wen remained expressionless: "I'm going to the bathroom."

As soon as the voice fell, the person who went to the bathroom entered the door.

An old master next to him smiled: "The hands and feet are quite fast."

As soon as she entered the door, Shen Xueyu saw a room of nearly [-] square meters, with several large wooden tables inside, but because the room was filled with dense tools, the room seemed a bit crowded.

Several people sat at the wooden table and buried themselves in the work at hand.

When he saw someone coming in, he just looked up and took a look, then returned to the work in his hand.

Xia Wen reluctantly walked to Shen Xueyu's side, and she told herself to be more professional, this was at the work site.

Shen Xueyu saw the unhappiness suppressed on Xia Wen's face.

He lowered his head and approached her, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Xia Wen was ignited by her again: "Think about what you just said."

"Go and visit the elders who took care of you when you were young, is there a problem?"

Xia Wen raised a forced and stiff smile: "...no problem."

After tidying up her mood, she straight to the point introduced the workshop in front of her.

"This is our main workplace. Most of the artifacts handed over to us by collectors like you are relatively well preserved, but some unearthed cultural relics require more energy and time. Bronze artifacts were collected in the pre-Qin period. It’s called Jijin, but it’s actually copper, and it looks golden. Now the surface is rusted, so it needs to be cleaned, and the raised patterns will appear clear after cleaning.”

Shen Xueyu followed Xia Wen and followed her explanations one by one. These tasks were much more boring than she imagined.

Most of the people working here are middle-aged people.Outside the building is the most prosperous city center in Nancheng, but within a wall is a monotonous and silent workshop.Shen Xueyu knew that this was a matter that required a lot of patience.

Xia Wen continued to walk inside: "There are some bronze wares that are damaged, and we need to repair them meticulously. Some wares are deformed when they arrive in our hands, and they may break if moved a little, so it needs to be done very slowly. Fine adjustments can only be made by one millimeter in a day or several days, and the restoration of many objects is very long.”

There were obvious signs of wear and tear on the corner of the table next to it. Shen Xueyu reached out to touch it, imagining what Xia Wen looked like when she was working here.

Xia Wen looked out along Shen Xueyu's fingers, and naturally saw those abrasion marks.

She casually leaned aside and said: "I used to like new things, but after slowly entering this industry, I feel that some things with historical traces are more worthy of people's liking and cherishing. How many have been ground out by the master. Look at these things in our hands, which were once cast and used by the ancients in those long ages, but now they are in our hands."

"Don't you think it's amazing?"

Shen Xueyu found that the word that Xia Wen introduced to herself the most today was probably wonder. The work that seemed dull and boring to most outsiders seemed to her to be full of fun.

Xia Wen said to Shen Xueyu calmly: "Shen Xueyu, before I didn't understand why you liked physics and why you would rather study than play with me, now I understand."

-

The visit to the entire museum lasted for most of the day.

After the end, He Wen asked Xia Wen to take Shen Xueyu back. Before leaving, He Wen pushed Xia Wen: "Ask Teacher Shen for any needs on the way, and we will try our best to meet them."

Xia Wen: "You should confess her."

"If she wants to, I'll be happy."

Xia Wen: "..."

After walking to the parking lot, Shen Xueyu went to drive. The car started and drove to Xia Wen's side. She lowered the window glass: "Get in the car."

Xia Wen hesitated: "Shall I take you back in your car?"

It is strange to say this sentence.

Shen Xueyu looked up at her: "Then you go back now?"

This expression is quite familiar to Xia Wen, it is usually only when Shen Xueyu is scheming.

Now when she goes back, how can she explain to He Wen? It really takes many lies to make up for one lie.

Xia Wen reluctantly got on the co-pilot.In the middle of the working day, there is not much traffic on the road.

At this moment, the carriage was quiet, so quiet that it seemed that it was waiting for something.

At the traffic light, Shen Xueyu turned at the green light and went to a nearby coffee shop.

"Come and sit with me."

Xia Wen was surprised: "Don't you need to rush back to work?"

Shen Xueyu leaned back in her chair and observed the road ahead: "I don't need to check in."

The implication is that no one cares about her, but this sounds a bit arrogant.

"Then you dare to absent yourself from work?"

Shen Xueyu parked the car in the parking space at the entrance of the shopping mall.

"Before the experiment, I often worked overtime on weekends and overnight. You don't need to worry about my working hours."

Xia Wen lowered his head and let out an "oh".

Shen Xueyu turned her head: "So, did you forget something today?"

Forgot to give a decent explanation for escapism these days.

Both of them knew it well, Xia Wen thought that Shen Xueyu's character would not ask directly, but she still asked.

Xia Wen was a little emboldened, and got out of the car in silence.

But instead of following Shen Xueyu into the coffee shop in the shopping mall, she turned around and went to the nearby taxi stand. She took a look and saw that there were far more taxis waiting than people.

After running for a while, the deserter Xia Wen turned around and shook the phone in Shen Xueyu's hand to the cold-faced Shen Xueyu.

"The answer is in there."

Shen Xueyu's complexion was not good, she turned on the phone, and Xia Wen's WeChat jumped to the top one.

Click to open.

There is a transfer to receive money.

And one more sentence: "80st installment repayment on [-]-year loan."

The author has something to say: My darlings, this is the second update... right!

Teacher Shen still needs to chase after it for a while!
