Banshuharu

After tossing around in the middle of the night, Pingqiu's whole body was dry and hot, as if every pore was scrambling to release heat.When Xu Xiuyuan got off him, their legs rubbed against each other, the pain caused Pingqiu to gasp, and he turned his upper body sideways and wanted to bury himself in the bedding.When the light was turned on, he let Xu Xiuyuan drag his legs to the edge of the bed.Ping Qiu swung his feet in the air and accidentally kicked Xu Xiuyuan's chest.

"Does it hurt?" Ping Qiu immediately stood up and apologized, "I didn't mean it."

Xu Xiuyuan didn't take it seriously: "Come down, I want to take a bath."

He wanted to say that you should go take a shower, but the bathroom door was not closed, but immediately after Pingqiu asked Xu Xiuyuan to grab his wrist and pull him up, the two of them stuck to each other and went into the bathroom.

In a narrow space, Ping Qiu was pressed against the wall by Xu Xiuyuan, trying to break free from his hand, but was pinched so hard that he couldn't stop breathing.He shook his head in pain, and made Xu Xiuyuan turn his face to kiss his mouth fiercely.Pingqiu could only see from the corner of his eye in the mirror that he was like a pony that was tied up, unable to break free, could only be ridden up and down, and in the end was only allowed to put his hands in front of the sink, and controlled the rest In Xu Xiuyuan's palm.

While the body was excited, the alarm sounded, Ping Qiu groped upwards with his right hand, accidentally bumped into two washing cups, and the toothbrush fell into the sink.His eyes were blurred, and he wanted to pick up a toothbrush, but Xu Xiuyuan immediately grabbed his arms and carried him behind his back.

There was a sudden bump, Xu Xiuyuan used a lot of force, Ping Qiu couldn't help sobbing, begging him to shake it slower, otherwise he would be out of breath.In fact, his eyes had already begun to emit white light, as if he was about to suffocate.

But Xu Xiuyuan just laughed when he heard it, and pressed Pingqiu against the glass door of the shower room with his hands folded backwards, then bent down and bit his face, and then his shoulders.Then he freed his hands, took another latex sleeve from the drawer, and handed it to Pingqiu, asking him to tear open the packaging bag with his mouth, and then put his head down to put it on.

Not daring not to do so, Ping Qiu bit the packaging bag in the palm of his hand, using his lips and tongue, tearing along the jagged edges with difficulty.He had difficulty breathing, turned his face up to the glare of the bathroom light, and murmured unconsciously: "I seem to be being raped by you."

Hearing Xu Xiuyuan's movements stopped, he leaned on his shoulder and laughed hoo hoo.

After finally escaping from the bathroom, Pingqiu was so sleepy that his eyelids twitched, he quickly walked into the bedroom with bare feet, and fell face-to-face into the quilt.He closed his eyes and kicked his legs under the quilt, and now he couldn't care about Xu Xiuyuan who was following him. He said good night in a daze, and Xu Xiuyuan held his head and kissed him for a while.

At this time, Pingqiu could no longer refuse or resist. Under sleepiness, his subconscious reaction was to open his mouth, stick out his tongue, and let Xu Xiuyuan deal with it.If he was kissed comfortably, he would make some exclamation-like sounds, and he would involuntarily touch Xu Xiuyuan's cheeks with his hands, and slowly wrap his fingers around his slightly wet hair.

"Pingqiu."

"Ah," Ping Qiu opened his eyes slightly, sleepiness remained in his eyes, but he was obviously trying his best to stay awake, "what's the matter?"

"Come with me, let's go to Beijing together." Xu Xiuyuan said.

Ping Qiu did not answer immediately.His expression was sluggish, and it took him a long time to remember to ask: "Going to Beijing?"

Xu Xiuyuan said: "I asked you before if you would like to walk with me. I'm not joking, I'm serious, I want you to leave here with me, and we start over."

"Impossible," Pingqiu subconsciously vetoed, "I am very familiar with working and living here, and I have never thought about changing, and I don't need to change. I am very satisfied with my life now... I can't leave it, I don't think about it." Pass."

"But you never thought that one day you would lie on this bed with me."

"That's different." Ping Qiu said anxiously.

"What's the difference? It's just that this change is more unimaginable than making you accept me. It's unimaginable, not unimaginable, and it's not impossible to change. The reason why you think my words are absurd is because you It never occurred to you that you could leave here, find a new place, start over with a new boyfriend."

"It's not a very simple matter. There are too many issues to consider. I can't just leave if I say so. Xiuyuan, you think about the problem too easily."

"Since the problem can be raised, it can be solved. The main thing is whether you are willing to solve it or not," Xu Xiuyuan said firmly. No one bothers, we can live whatever life you want."

The drowsiness was filled with horror, causing Pingqiu's head to be filled with chaos for a while.He was afraid that he would be seduced by Xu Xiuyuan's utopia constructed by Xu Xiuyuan's empty words, so he hurriedly stopped, and asked Xu Xiuyuan to put this topic aside for the time being, and discuss it next time.Xu Xiuyuan was obedient and shut up, he didn't hold out any hope that Pingqiu would agree to it tonight, after changing into pajamas, he slept next to Pingqiu defenselessly.

Only Pingqiu's heart set off a shocking wave, and the more he thought about the night, the more he became sober, and he couldn't fall asleep for a long time.He didn't fall into a drowsy sleep until after zero o'clock.

Recalling Xu Xiuyuan's proposal when he was awake, Ping Qiu had to admit that while he was caught off guard, he was somewhat moved.But after all, unlike the high-spirited Xu Xiuyuan, Ping Qiu has many factors to consider, and the consequences are unpredictable, which is enough to crush his poor heart.

His first thought was work.The job in the training school at hand, although the salary is mediocre, but Pingqiu has always lived a frugal life, and the prices in the second-tier cities are relatively conservative, and he has little savings after working in recent years.And Xu Xiuyuan went north to study. Even if he has no income for the time being, he at least has a direction to work hard and a future with infinite possibilities.But Pingqiu, he needs to quit his job here, find a new job in a strange metropolis that may not pay as well as the current salary, and then bear the high consumption level, and he is not even sure how much he and Xu Xiuyuan can go in the future. Far.What if Xu Xiuyuan suddenly finds out that Pingqiu is no longer the image he longed for in their intimate life in the future, and he repents, then where will Pingqiu go?Where would there be a place for him?Is it worth sacrificing the current stability for Xu Xiuyuan?

He kept asking back questions, as if Ping Qiu was forcing himself to face the reality.The top of his head was full of heavy pressure, crushing the romantic delusion in his heart to pieces.

There were few students today, and during lunch break, Liu Chenchen visited several offices.Going to Pingqiu's room, she saw that his eyes were loose and he was obviously in a daze.As soon as he knocked on the table, Ping Qiu woke up suddenly, and smiled at her, still in a gentle manner.

"What are you thinking about, so engrossed," Liu Chenchen sat opposite him holding a water glass, with his chin on the lid, and chatted, "Teacher Tang has resigned, you know?"

"I've heard of it a bit, but I don't know much about it. Haven't you confirmed it yet?"

"It's almost inseparable, she was poached," Liu Chenchen said, "Look at our school, the principal is a local, and he wants to be a local sign, but after all, it has only been in operation for four years, and the foundation is not stable. Do us In this business, the stronger the faculty is, the last word is, like other schools are chained, and all qualified teachers have gone to the headquarters.”

"Isn't that a good thing?" Pingqiu said, "Teacher Tang is very good and has rich teaching experience."

"It's because of her rich experience. The teachers we recruited are all young, and Teacher Tang is the most experienced one. The principal is not willing to let her go, and she is still delaying. I hope Teacher Tang will change her mind. But I look forward to seeing you, Teacher Tang. It seems interesting to bring my daughter along, isn't her daughter going to kindergarten soon, so it's convenient for her to study in the future."

Pingqiu let out an oh, expressing his understanding.

Liu Chenchen followed with a sigh: "I also want to resign, I don't want to go to work, I just want to make rice worms at home, but unfortunately I have no money and no one to support me... Hey Pingqiu, are you rich?"

"No, why do you say that?" Ping Qiu questioned inexplicably.

"Because you seem to be able to save money," Liu Chenchen explained, "You are very honest and can keep money. Unlike us, you are all moonlight clans."

Ping Qiu smiled: "In fact, everyone is the same."

Busy with communicating with other teachers, Liu Chenchen couldn't sit still for a while and then slipped away holding a water glass. Before leaving, he asked Pingqiu to hand in the feedback form, and reminded him to go to the finance department to check the refund amount of some students.Ping Qiu responded, looking down at the half-filled mid-month feedback form on the desktop.Thinking of the complicated and trivial work, for some reason, his heart suddenly sank, and he couldn't help taking a deep breath.

Maybe it was because he wanted to give Zu Pingqiu time to think, but in the next two days, Xu Xiuyuan did not bring up the topic from the last time from time to time as Pingqiu was worried about, forcing him to agree.It just so happened that in those two days, I was on the evening shift on weekdays, so I finally had time to have dinner at home with Xu Xiuyuan and take a walk after dinner. .

The setting sun hangs in front of the forehead, pedestrians on the side of the road along the river are in twos and threes, most of them are dressed in short t-pants and flip flops, many of them are the whole family, parents are pacing slowly, young children are running in front, or they have fallen into the stone Steps, squatting on the bank of the river watching people catch fish.

It was Xu Xiuyuan who spoke first: "Have you made up your mind?"

Ping Qiu paused: "It's considered well."

"Will you come with me?"

"...No."

Xu Xiuyuan immediately stopped and turned to face Pingqiu: "Why, give me a reason."

After stopping, a passerby walking slowly came from behind. Ping Qiu pulled Xu Xiuyuan who was blocking the way aside, and his back hit the rough stone railing. His expression remained unchanged, and he tried to explain to Xu Xiuyuan: "This question cannot be taken for granted. .I also want to be with you, but the reality doesn’t allow it, I have too many concerns, and I can’t just walk away.”

"What's the problem?" Xu Xiuyuan asked.

"For example, work. You go to Beijing to study, so what about me, am I going to accompany you to study? I need to work and make money. I have to guarantee food, drink and accommodation. These problems cannot be solved by fantasy, people Always think about your livelihood."

"I have enough money to wait until you find a job," Xu Xiuyuan frowned. "Otherwise, you can go to my friend's studio. There has been a shortage of manpower there, and the salary can be negotiated."

"That's your friend, I'm not qualified to bother him."

"It's my trouble, it has nothing to do with you, and I have known him for many years, so he will not refuse to help with this."

"If you go to your friend, what's the matter? How should I introduce myself? Is it your boyfriend or your brother? No matter which one of these two identities is spoken out, it will not sound good."

"You just don't want to leave," Xu Xiuyuan said in a cold tone, "If you want to be with me all the time, you won't always deny me now."

"You took it for granted."

"Is it because I dare to think too much, or you don't dare to think at all? You are only in your 20s, have you become used to the same thing from now on, and believe that you will stay in this place for the next few decades and will never go out for the rest of your life? You turn Look over your head, the sun is setting, and it will rise tomorrow, every day it repeats the two events of rising and setting, so are you also infected, shrinking in place and not daring to move?"

"...Yes, I admit that I don't want to change because I don't know what I will face after the change. It's like gambling. I don't have a bargaining chip. How dare I go to the gambling table? How dare I bet?"

"You have," Xu Xiuyuan said, "Your bargaining chip is me."

Ping Qiu was taken aback when he heard the words, and blamed: "Don't act like a baby."

"Anyway, I don't accept your rhetoric. This kind of reason is too old. If you want to convince me, I suggest you seriously find some other excuses."

"This is not an excuse." Ping Qiu protested.

"Is it clear in your heart?" Xu Xiuyuan seemed to see through Pingqiu's duplicity once again, after speaking, he ignored Pingqiu and wanted to refute, and dragged him forward.After walking along the avenue along the river, they turned to the bridge again, and they went around to the other side of the river, only to find that the setting sun was sinking faster and faster.

That evening, Pingqiu wanted to have a peaceful chat with Xu Xiuyuan, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Xu Xiuyuan turned around and left, and asked him to find another reasonable excuse first, and then talk again.

Pingqiu was a little angry, and maybe there was some luck that he didn't want to admit.Suddenly received an unsigned call, and even when he heard the other party's lively voice, he still couldn't remember the name of that person, and made the other party so angry that he repeatedly said that he was ungrateful and ungrateful, and then he reported his family name as He Xiaoxian .Pingqiu finally came to his senses, smiled and said that it was you.

According to He Xiaoxian, he will pass by this city in two days, remembering that Pingqiu is here, so he thought of visiting him to pass the time.His request is also very simple, just use Ping Qiu to accompany him as a guide for half a day, and if he is not satisfied with even a day, he will fly away that night.

Although he spent only two days with He Xiaoxian, Ping Qiu liked his frankness and directness, and had a good impression of him. Since he offered to invite him to be the host, of course Ping Qiu had no reason to refuse.

Talking about this with Xu Xiuyuan before going to bed that night, Pingqiu lay face to face with him, with one hand under his face, and the other lightly pinched Xu Xiuyuan's five fingers.He rambled on, talking about his good impression of He Xiaoxian, boasting about his character, and talking about his appearance.

Suddenly his fingers tightened, Xu Xiuyuan grabbed his five fingers in the palm of his backhand, and asked Pingqiu, "How does he please you so much?"

"He is very good, although sometimes he is a little nonsensical, but it can be seen that he is not bad, and his family background is good. A good family can never raise a bad child, let alone he helped me ," Ping Qiu refers to what He Xiaoxian said at the time, to see through the secret of his relationship with Xu Xiuyuan, but he has no intention of telling Xu Xiuyuan about this, he just said, "I really like him."

"He helped you, when? What did he help you with?"

"Just little things."

"What trivial matter?" Xu Xiuyuan chased after him.

"It's a small matter, I've already forgotten it." Ping Qiu didn't want to say it clearly.

"You like him like that?" Xu Xiuyuan recalled, "Like a flower peacock, it opens its tail every day, but it doesn't grow any hair at all."

"What are you talking about. Don't say that about others."

"Are you going alone?"

"Well, he asked me to wait for him at the gate of the city memorial hall. He came here by sightseeing bus, there is a direct bus," Pingqiu asked, "Are you going?"

"You want me to go?"

"Of course, if you accompany me, we can also take the opportunity to take a good look. You come here, have I not accompanied you to walk around seriously? I have forgotten, I should accompany you to find out the place first, When you went out by yourself, did you get lost?"

"That's because you didn't pay attention to me at all at first," Xu Xiuyuan said, "You are busy with work and spending time with your boyfriend. What you care about me the most is to see when I will leave. Please stay quiet."

"Going to settle the old score again?" Pingqiu laughed at him stingily, "At that time, I didn't know that we would become like this now, there is no way to go back to the past, please do me a favor and forgive me."

Xu Xiuyuan laughed, leaned closer, and kissed Pingqiu's lips: "It's so easy to forgive you because I still have the handle in your hand, waiting for you to nod. You know I love you very much, I just want to forgive you. I want to be with you, since you agreed to be with me, shouldn’t you put me in your future life plan? And you have to put me first. I can’t stand long-distance relationships, and I can’t see you for a day You, I can't stand it, I will be very anxious. So you think about it."

"Time is fast, four years will pass soon. If you want to see me, we can call or video, can't we also see it? If I am free, I can also go to find you, in fact, there is no difference ah."

"It's completely different. You know what I want is not this kind of relationship that can only be maintained by regular contact. I want to fall in love with you, not to listen to you reporting to me every day. Okay, don't say this again, I don't want to Listen to you perfunctory me." Xu Xiuyuan frowned.

"Okay, I won't say anything," Ping Qiu stroked his eyebrows and complained, "I really can't do anything about you."

The sun was shining brightly the next day, and Pingqiu arrived at the Municipal Memorial Hall at 09:30 in the morning.He randomly picked a wooden bench and sat down, keeping an eye on the passing sightseeing cars. He watched three or five cars pass the gate and leave, and finally a familiar figure came out of the last car.Ping Qiu waved his hand, He Xiaoxian immediately threw away the exquisite small backpack on his body, and ran to hug him with open arms, with a smile on his face, and the first sentence he opened his mouth was: "Are you getting fat?"

"Is there?" Ping Qiu couldn't laugh or cry, he was pushed away by He Xiao first, and bought two bottles of cold drinks at the convenience store on the side of the road, and it happened that a customer left his seat at the bar, leaving two vacant seats, He Xiao grabbed the seat first, and beckoned Ping Qiu to tie the knot Come here quickly.

Obviously they can only be regarded as strangers, but they both agree with each other, Ping Qiu and He Xiaoxian hit it off right away.

"After you left, I stayed on the island for another two days. But it was too boring, so I took a boat out and played around." He Xiao first sipped his cold drink, "It's not fun, it's not interesting at all, I I don’t want to stay anymore, so I bought a plane ticket and flew away quickly. I originally booked the plane ticket for last night, but I thought I haven’t seen you yet, so I changed it for tonight.”

"Where do you want to go this time?" Ping Qiu asked.

"I don't know, just fly wherever you want, and you can count wherever you click."

"Still alone?"

"That's right," He Xiaoxian said again, "Original Feng wanted to go with me—that's that person, do you remember? But I'm used to being alone, so what's the matter with him, me and him I'm not familiar with him, it's not a hindrance to me, so I firmly rejected him... But I think he's just joking, he's so busy with work and speculates in stocks, how could he leave with me. "

"Is he not angry?" Ping Qiu said, "I mean, he didn't blame you?"

"Why does he blame me?" He Xiaoxian stared, completely incomprehensible, "Who am I? Why should he meddle in my affairs. I hate it when people follow me to ask questions, even if they don't ask. I hate people following along. I."

"If he just wants to follow you because he likes you too much and is reluctant to leave you, so you say that, will it hurt him if you reject him again?"

"What's so sad about it, is he free?"

He Xiaoxian speaks bluntly, and has a unique way of thinking and acting. Pingqiu smiled when he heard this, and knew that he was in a daze. From He Xiaoxian's place, he obviously couldn't find any useful advice that suits him.

The topic gradually changed, He Xiao first talked about what he had seen and heard in surrounding cities a few days ago, but unfortunately most of them were mediocre, which made him lose interest in this small southern city.

"I really don't know how you stayed here!" He Xiaoxian sipped his cold drink bitterly, "It rained a few days ago, and water was dripping everywhere. I dislocated my right leg, and the pain made me unable to sleep."

"It's okay," Pingqiu said, "you'll get used to it after living here for a long time. You may not be familiar with the weather in the south."

"So I decided to see the prairie, the kind of prairie, you know, big, big, big."As he said that, in order to prevent Pingqiu's imagination from being poor, He Xiaoxian stretched his arms and gestured hard, trying to make Pingqiu understand how big his so-called "grand prairie" really is.

Ping Qiu smiled: "That's very good."

Unexpectedly, He Xiaoxian changed the topic: "Are you free?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"Come with me," He Xiaoxian said, "You haven't seen such a big grassland, have you? Would you like to go with me? Although I don't know where to find it, who cares, there are always some, Look hard and come back when you find it. Are you going?"

Ping Qiu shook his head: "No, I don't have time."

"Why don't you have time? Could it be that you are like my parents, flying everywhere every day, so you don't have time?" He Xiaoxian stared, "This is an adventure! Aren't you curious or excited at all? ... This is Adventure! Adventure!"

Somehow, Pingqiu's spirit lifted.

I received a call from Xu Xiuyuan, saying that he was on his way, two hours later.Today's temperature is too high, He Xiaoxian didn't have the mood to have fun outside, so Pingqiu found a drink shop on the second floor of the shopping mall, and picked a table by the door. Xu Xiuyuan who walked up the escalator from the direction of door two.

Indeed, it should be said that He Xiaoxian's intuition was terrifyingly accurate, he just reminded Ping Qiu that someone was coming, seeing Ping Qiu looking around to search for Xu Xiuyuan's figure, he narrowed his eyes suddenly: "Are you together?"

"what?"

"I can't guess wrong, you must be together. He confessed? You agreed? How long has it been? You didn't believe me before, but now, I will say that I will not be wrong." He Xiaoxian He spoke quickly, with a triumphant expression on his face.

"...It's just so muddled."

"To tell you the truth, I originally set my sights on him," He Xiaoxian said while cupping his face, "I like his type of man. He is tall, handsome, and clean. You can tell it at a glance. It must be very easy to fall in love with him." Happy."

That was the time when you had never seen him being clingy and aggressive, Ping Qiu secretly laughed in his heart, actually enjoyed He Xiaoxian's compliment to Xu Xiuyuan, which made him empathize with him, and felt a kind of secret pride for Xu Xiuyuan.

"It's a pity that I didn't know him before, so I found out that he likes you." He Xiaoxian changed the subject, "Have you had sex yet? Is he good?"

Pingqiu choked suddenly, covered his mouth with two tissues and coughed muffledly. At the same time, he waved his hand at He Xiaoxian, intending to apologize, but He Xiaoxian mistakenly thought he was denying it, so he exaggeratedly exclaimed: "No. Yes! I'm not mistaken, is he very small, or can't do anything? Does it make you feel very uncomfortable?"

Seeing that He Xiaoxian asked more and more outrageous questions, Ping Qiu coughed until his cheeks flushed, his throat was still itchy, he skipped two words and buried his head in coughing again.Suddenly his shoulders sank, Xu Xiuyuan rushed over, patted Pingqiu's back with one hand, took off the backpack he was wearing with the other, and bent down to sit down.

Just nodding politely at He Xiaoxian, Xu Xiuyuan asked Ping Qiu if his throat was uncomfortable, then took the glass in front of him and gave him a drink of water, telling him to take his time.

Pingqiu coughed so badly that his throat and eyes hurt, and he managed to recover. He felt dizzy as if his brain was congested, and explained: "I accidentally choked my trachea, and I can't breathe."

"Still uncomfortable now?" Xu Xiuyuan asked.

"No, it's much better."

He Xiaoxian propped his chin with both hands, staring at the two seated opposite with great interest.Seeing Pingqiu looking up, he smiled more intensely, in Pingqiu's eyes, it seemed that he was laughing at what he said before, but in the end he was the first to fall into the trap and flow into the land of tenderness.

The distance between the shopping mall and the airport is not too far, Pingqiu sent He Xiao on the plane first, and when parting, he told him to remember to keep in touch.Ping Qiu smiled, agreed, and watched him pass the test.Xu Xiuyuan didn't approach, but stood not far behind and looked at Pingqiu.

On the way home, Xu Xiuyuan seemed very tired, he rested his head on Pingqiu's shoulder after sitting for a while, closed his eyes and took a nap.

Listening to his breathing, Pingqiu's anxious and chaotic thoughts gradually stabilized.He seems to have been inspired by He Xiaoxian's previous energetic declaration to secretly desire, and he still hesitates, but what is gaining the upper hand now has turned into a kind of rebellion that is eager to try—try it, Ping Qiu persuaded himself, nothing is certain , and nothing is inevitable, but now, it is inevitable to overthrow everything that is boring, and it is inevitable to look forward to the unknown future.

Suddenly, Pingqiu's heart was surging, and he felt his body trembling slightly.All the blood poured into his brain, making him feel dizzy due to extreme excitement.

He had no choice but to hold Xu Xiuyuan's hand tightly, as if in this way, he could restrain the longing that was about to burst out of his heart.

Of course, Ping Qiu did not directly tell Xu Xiuyuan the decision.Deciding to go north is a rebellious, even crazy decision for Pingqiu.Fortunately, he was not blinded by blind optimism for the time being, and the remaining rationality dragged him. At the same time, Pingqiu was unwilling to bring Xu Xiuyuan some insecure hopes, so he kept his mouth shut until he went to work the next day. Regarding the topic of Teacher Tang, I discussed some opinions with Liu Chenchen and other colleagues.

There are many young teachers in the institution with quick thinking. Some of them are students who have just graduated, and their words and actions are not as smooth as some senior colleagues.

At this moment, Pingqiu is usually marginalized, because most of the time he will not take the initiative to express his opinions, but just listen in.In addition, he has a shy personality and a tight-lipped tone. His colleagues who gossip and gossip are not afraid of him talking nonsense. The topics range from "Teacher Tang's resignation" to "prospects of the organization". I teach at school, not to mention the normal winter and summer vacations, and I can still spend weekends.While chatting, many colleagues sighed and wanted to resign.

"I heard from the principal before that there is a shortage of teachers in the institution. If there are still people who want to resign, it seems that they have to submit the application two months in advance?"

As soon as the words were finished, the colleagues in the pantry all looked at Pingqiu who was by the wall in the corner, all of them were surprised.Some were surprised that Pingqiu was here, for how long they had stood there, and blamed him for not making a sound before; some were surprised that Pingqiu took the initiative to ask questions this time, in short, they all expressed surprise at him, a good gentleman who has been marginalized all the year round.

Only Liu Chenchen continued: "It seems to be true. We have too many people leaving this year, and we can't recruit people to keep up with those who resigned. If this continues, we will probably close down."

"It's not that serious, I don't think it can fall." A colleague interjected.

"I also hope it won't fall." Liu Chenchen frowned. "If it falls, I'll have to go outside to find a new job. I don't want it. I'm so exhausted that I might not be able to find better conditions than here."

"Speaking of which, Pingqiu, why are you interested in this matter, and you want to resign?" the colleague asked with a smile.

"No way, maybe the institution has really collapsed, and Teacher Qiu is still guarding here..." Liu Chenchen rushed to answer, pretending to be a joke, which aroused the laughter of other teachers.But her joke was immediately interrupted by Ping Qiu.

Ping Qiu frowned slightly, but didn't finish his sentence: "I haven't thought about it yet, I have to think about it."

This remark stirred up waves, and the news that "Ping Qiu is going to resign" spread quickly. By evening, there were already some teachers who didn't know the inside story in the teacher group asking if another colleague was about to resign. I chatted word by word, saying that Teacher Pingqiu didn't seem to plan to do it anymore, so the interrogative sentence turned into a declarative sentence, which quickly spread to the principal's ears.

The principal of the institution is a 30-year-old returnee Ph.D. His surname is Peng. He has an approachable personality and gets along very well with his teachers.Pingqiu doesn't have much contact with the principal, because most of the time, work problems are fed back to the vice principal, a female teacher.

Therefore, Pingqiu was very surprised to receive a phone call from the principal this evening.He lightly pushed Xu Xiuyuan who was on his leg, asking him to help dry his hair, pointed to the phone, indicating that it was an important call, then got up and walked into the bedroom, closing the door behind him.

Xu Xiuyuan sat in the living room, chatting with his mobile phone.His hair was still a little damp. He put a towel on the back of his neck, and saw a high school friend in the small group asking why he hadn't seen him recently, and he usually couldn't make an appointment even if he wanted to.As usual, he just couldn't look back. After a while, a call came. His friend Sun Qi asked him where he was now.

Sun Qi was full of complaints: "You are so bold, you lied to your parents that you went on a trip, and you also took me along with you, so that I could only squat in my grandma's country for a summer vacation, fearing that I would bump into your parents when I went home. The fact that you sneaked away has to be exposed. Tell me how much you owe me, and treat me to dinner when you come back!"

"Did they look for you?" Xu Xiuyuan asked.

"Look, look for it every day. Your mother has been playing cards with my mother for the past two days. If my mother hadn't been tight-lipped, you would have been arrested long ago. Isn't it just a volunteer? Now that the application is over, you still hide and don't want to go back. "Sun Qi complained, "And your brother, I think he knew that you were not with me... Are you okay? I think your brother is very fierce, will he help you?"

"My brother?" Xu Xiuyuan smiled, "If he knew what I was doing, he would be the first one to try to kill me."

"No way," Sun Qi sighed, "Is the relationship between your brothers so bad? I remember that when you were in elementary school, your brother was very kind to you. He picked you up after school every day and took you to sell at the school gate. Buy snacks at the shop. I was most envious of you having a brother."

"That's not my brother." Xu Xiuyuan thought, obviously it was Pingqiu.

Sun Qi was still talking in the receiver, Xu Xiuyuan heard the sound of the bedroom door opening, he moved the phone down a little, and watched Pingqiu slowly approaching.He keenly noticed that Pingqiu had a different expression, and was about to ask, when Pingqiu sat down, patted the face of his legs, and asked Xu Xiuyuan to come up again, and he continued to wipe his hair with a towel.

Regardless of Sun Qi's chatter, Xu Xiuyuan directly hung up his phone, then obediently fell on Pingqiu's lap, stared at his expression for a moment, and asked, "Do you have something to say to me?"

Ping Qiu said slowly: "How do you know?"

"I can tell by your expression. Say what you want."

"Just now, our principal called me and asked me if I had any plans to resign."

"What did you say?"

"I said," Ping Qiu paused, "I said yes."

However, there was no excitement as Pingqiu expected, on the contrary, Xu Xiuyuan was very calm, just asked "and then", and waited for Pingqiu's next words.

"I said yes." Ping Qiu emphasized.

"I heard."

"...I said yes."

"I can understand Chinese."

Ping Qiu frowned: "I said I agree."

"Oh, agree to what?"

"..." Now, Ping Qiu was sure that Xu Xiuyuan was playing tricks on him.It was difficult for him to keep calm under Xu Xiuyuan's smiling eyes, he couldn't help laughing, and felt a little angry at Xu Xiuyuan's confidence, so he spread the towel flat and covered Xu Xiuyuan's face with resentment.

Bad-hearted, he cursed.
