When Xu Xie went to Class [-] to look for Fang Zhi for dinner at noon, he couldn't find anyone.

"Huh? Boss Xu?" Chen Mushu had just finished his education in the office when he happened to see Xu Xie who was looking around at the door of the classroom, "Are you looking for Brother Fang? He ran out as soon as the bell rang."

"Do you know where he is going?"

"I don't know, I thought he was having dinner with you."

Xu Xie thanked her, and sent a message to Fang Zhi while going down the stairs.

[Brother Xu]: Where did you go?

The news over there came back quickly.

[FZ.]: There's something going on outside.

[Brother Xu]: Are you still coming back for dinner?

[FZ.]: No, you can eat it yourself.

Fang Zhi who received the word "Hello" from the other party put away his phone, pointed to a panda brooch in the glass display case and asked the thin young man who was processing photos: "Boss, is this brooch for sale?"

The young man adjusted his glasses, looked over with his fingers, and smiled at him after seeing clearly what it was: "It's not something valuable, if you want it, I can give it to you directly."

While talking, he leaned over and opened the display case, ready to take out the brooch.

"What are you doing?"

As soon as his fingertips touched the metal edge of the brooch, his movements stopped.

Fang Zhi followed the voice and saw a tall and strong boy wearing a No. [-] Middle School uniform appeared at the entrance of the photo studio at some point, carrying two packing boxes in his hand.

The young man looked worried, and strode into the hall, smashed the packing box on the side coffee table, then walked to the counter, supported the countertop of the display cabinet with his arms, and approached the young man leaning his upper body.

After a few seconds, the deep voice sounded again: "Ask you, what do you want?"

The young man seemed displeased, frowned and leaned back, distanced himself from the young man, and answered irrelevantly: "What are you doing here?"

"What? Is it in your eyes?" The young man leaned forward again, closing the distance with the young man again, and said the short six words as if gritted his teeth, vague but fierce.

The two just stared at each other from a very close distance, and there seemed to be hidden sparks in the intertwined eyes.

In the end, it was the youth who lost first.

He sighed softly, raised his hand and rubbed the boy's earlobe: "I'll tell you later, I have guests here now, go sit on the sofa and wait for me first, okay?"

The young man didn't know if he had softened his temper, and the hostility around him disappeared in an instant.

He tilted his head, as if he had just noticed that there was someone beside him, his gaze fell from the end of his eyes to Fang Zhi's up and down for a few seconds before turning back, and his voice was not as deep as before: "Then hurry up, Otherwise the food will be cold."

"Yeah." The young man finished answering, watched the young man sit down on the sofa, and smiled apologetically at Fang Zhi, "Well... I'm sorry, he didn't mean to disrespect you, his temper is just like that. And this brooch, I'm afraid I can't give it to you...but I know there is a place where you can buy the same style, and I can send you the address if you want."

Fang Zhi witnessed everything that happened just now, and now he just wants to disappear in place quickly, regardless of the brooch or not, he hastily added the youth WeChat and then quickly slipped away.

I wandered the street confusedly and eagerly for a while, until I walked into a restaurant and sat down, my beating heart gradually calmed down.

He didn't know why he was suddenly nervous and flustered, but at a vague moment, the atmosphere between the two people in the photo studio was so ambiguous and intimate that when he saw it from the side, he seemed to have the illusion that he had glimpsed some kind of secret.

A bowl of beef brisket rice was brought to the table and placed in front of him, but he had no memory of when he ordered it.

He scooped up a spoonful of rice and put it into his mouth. It wasn't the taste he liked. The rice was too sticky and the beef wasn't soft enough.

But he still soothed himself in the fireworks mixed with rice fragrance and oil fragrance.

He was in a hurry just now, before he had time to ask the young boss if he could restore the photo before May [-]st.Slowly calming down now, Fang Zhi touched his phone through his pocket, wondering if he should send a WeChat message to ask.

The object attached to the palm vibrated twice.

Fang Zhi didn't even need to take out his phone to know that the message was from Xu Xie.

Sure enough, a certain boss did not forget to care about his diet through the screen.

[Big brother Xu]: Panda takes the lead.jpg

[Big brother Xu]: Have you eaten well?

Fang Zhi cocked his mouth, took a photo of beef brisket rice with a spoon in his mouth and sent it.

[FZ.]: [Image]

[FZ.]: I'm eating, beef brisket rice, it's delicious.

[Big brother Xu]: Zhuxi also has it. The beef brisket stewed out of grandpa’s secret soup. Next time, I will take you there to taste it. I promise it will be more fragrant than this one.

Secret soup, it sounds delicious...

Fang Zhi looked at this sentence, then looked at the food in front of him that he had only tasted two mouthfuls of, and for the first time thought of wasting food.

Xu Xie casually poked the potato cubes in front of him while typing with one hand while chatting with Fang Zhi.

Sitting opposite him, He Jie stretched out his chopsticks to put the potato into his mouth after he poked it into pieces, and asked him after swallowing, "Are you in love?"

"Ah?" Xu Xie raised her eyes from the phone screen when she heard him speak, "What did you just say?"

"I said, are you in a relationship?" He Ge tapped the corner of his mouth with the tip of his chopsticks, "You have a rippling smile."

"...No, Fang Zhi."

Xu Xie denied it, but the person he was chatting with was someone he liked after all, so it was inevitable that he still felt a little guilty.He turned the phone screen upside down on the table, and changed the topic to He Jing: "Did you go to see Yu You today?"

"Did you forget? Yu You went to the mountain two days ago." He Jie took another potato from his plate.

This time the potatoes didn't go into his mouth smoothly, and were robbed by Xu Xie's chopsticks on the way.

"Don't snatch it from me, I just told you to beat it yourself." Xu Xie stingyly put the potato into her mouth, "What are you doing in the mountains?"

"Could this great talent divert his attention from Fang Zhi, and occasionally pay attention to the lives of our young people?" He Jing took back his chopsticks, "A writer's activity, said to be inspired by going to the mountains to experience nature What."

"Ah...then did you say when you'll be back? It's my birthday the day after tomorrow, can you come back soon?"

"When I left, I said I would be able to come back." He Jie took a sip of the potato powder, "Maybe it's because the signal in the mountains is not very good. I haven't been able to contact him for the past two days, and I don't know the specifics."

"Is the activity normal? Don't fool people, trick people into selling in the mountains or something."

He Ju gave him a blank look: "Can you stop your unlucky thinking? I have personally consulted, and it is a serious activity arranged by a regular company."

"It's fine if you are in charge. I'm afraid that Yu You will be deceived by that idiot..." Xu Xie picked up the phone again at some point, and answered absent-mindedly.

"...Xu Xie, don't force me to break up with you." He Ge tapped his rice plate with the tip of his chopsticks, "Eat as soon as you eat, don't multitask, just can't let go of Fang Zhi like that? He is 17 anyway. You are old, don't worry about it."

"Hmm..." Xu Xie held up his mobile phone and typed, and snorted.

He Jiu: "..."

As expected of Mr. Xu, he can be so top-notch in liking the new and disliking the old.

The old friend silently stole a piece of potato, and began to miss Yu You very depressed.

After Fang Zhi finished his meal, he got on the subway back to school.

While looking for shops that could customize necklaces on the Internet, he cut out from time to time to reply to Xu Xie's news.

That panda brooch inspired him.

He wanted to make Xu Xie's stick figure panda head into a cooler necklace.

The idea is perfect, but the reality is a bit stretched.If it is ordered online, it is first a matter of time. Fang Zhi picked a few good-looking shops and asked how long it would take to receive the goods, and the fastest would be three days later.

... Sorrowful.

Fang Zhi thought about it, and decided to use his contacts.

He clicked on the chat interface with Jiang An.

[FZ.]: Let me ask you something, do you know where we can make custom necklaces?

Contacts come back quickly.

[Ah um]: I don't know, I haven't learned about these.

[ahh]: You want a custom necklace?

[Ahhh]: Who is it for?alone?

[Ah huh]: Why do you want to wear a necklace all of a sudden?

[FZ.]: Don't ask too much, you will become unlucky.

The intimidation effect was very good, and the gossip woman whose nickname seemed to be squatting in the pit did not send any more messages.

The second contact is his dear uncle.

[Uncle]: I really don't know about this kind of thing about you young people.

Fang Zhi put down his phone and slumped on his seat when the two people ran out of pulsations.

... more worrying.

It might be because it was the first time to prepare a gift for someone, Fang Zhi was so caring that he was still thinking about it when Lin Yufeng came to pick him up at night.

"Old Zhou will come to help later, so I can relax today." Lin Yufeng turned his head and glanced at Fang Zhi who was staring out of the window without saying a word, a little curious, "you asked me yesterday What gift should Xu Xie give him for his birthday, why didn't he even talk today? Are you in a bad mood?"

Fang Zhi was bored for a while, and felt that there was no way for him to think so blindly, so he said a little embarrassedly: "Then what...Brother Lin?"

"Oh, you know how to call someone?" Lin Yufeng raised an eyebrow happily, "Okay, since you've already called me brother, there must be something you need my help with, right? Tell me."

"I just want to ask, is there a place where we can customize necklaces?"

"Custom necklace?" Lin Yufeng was taken aback, "Send it to Xu Xie?"

"Ah."

"It's quite unique..." Lin Yufeng rubbed his chin, "Let's think about it...it's kind of artistic, I really don't know where to make it...In this way, Lao Zhou knows a lot of people, and I will tell you later. Let me ask him for you."

"You're asking the right person about this."

Zhou Lecheng sat on the ground, screwed the last screw into the wood, and a simple shelf was assembled.

He stood up, handed the shelf to Lin Yufeng who was in charge of placing the objects, then went to the table to pick up the phone, tapped and said to Fang Zhi: "I have a designer here who specializes in customization... it should be considered A designer? I don’t know too well, anyway, it’s something like this... Well, look, this is her circle of friends, all of which she designed and made herself.”

Fang Zhi walked over to take a look, and found that there were quite a lot of types, including necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings.

"Not bad, right? There's still a design draft..." Zhou Lecheng swiped twice more, then exited the circle of friends, and clicked on his QR code business card, "Let's add it, and then I will push her friend to You, talk about it yourself.”

Fang Zhi thanked him and did so without objection.

It should be Zhou Lecheng who said hello in advance, and the news came soon.

[Yang]: Customized?

[FZ.]: Well, is the necklace okay?

[Yang]: Yes.Any ideas?

Fang Zhi sent Xu Xie's WeChat avatar.

[Yang]: Just make it into a pendant and string it up with a chain?Or add something else?

In the next 5 minutes, Fang Zhi deeply felt the lack of his own language.

Lin Yufeng saw him frowning for a while, smacking his mouth for a while, staring at the mobile phone and typing hard, it was funny, and he didn't do any work. He leaned on the cabinet and talked to Zhou Lecheng cheerfully: "I talked to him yesterday. After staying for several hours, I haven't seen such a big change in his expression."

"At first I thought this kid was paralyzed, with a stern face, as if someone owed him money." Zhou Lecheng glanced at Fang Zhi, then turned his head and continued with his work, "I'm still wondering Is Xiaoxie being threatened, otherwise how can I make friends with such a thing?"

"Hahahaha, rest your heart as an old father. Who can threaten Xu Xie, a scoundrel who turned into a schoolmaster?" Lin Yufeng handed him a screw, raised his chin and pointed at Fang Zhi. , "It's cute after a long time, isn't it?"

"Well, he's a pretty good kid." Zhou Lecheng took the screw in his hand, "I didn't even scold you when I asked you to come here to do hard work."

"Hahahaha...Maybe they didn't say anything, but they already had a needle in my heart."

This side chatted in full swing, while Fang Zhi chatted over there.

For the first time, he realized that his mouth can't keep up with his brain, even if the necklace design in his mind has been so cool and domineering, he can only "wrap it around", "go around", "change it" ".

It's just... pale.

The opposite party may have sensed this, and added the sentence "Don't worry" after his incomprehensible description.

[Yang]: I don't have any tools at hand. Even if you tell me so much now, I can't immediately design according to your requirements.

[Yang]: When do you want it?

[FZ.]: The day after tomorrow.

[Yang]: Do you have time tomorrow?You can come to my studio and we can discuss the design face to face.

There is no problem with the school. No. [-] Middle School will have a May Day holiday after class tomorrow afternoon. It is Zhuxi's side...

Fang Zhi looked up at the half-decorated room, then looked at Lin Yufeng: "Brother Lin, I want to ask for leave tomorrow."

"Sure, sure, Lao Zhou and I can do it here, and you can do your own thing tomorrow." Lin Yufeng waved his hand, "It's so formal, and I still ask for leave..."

Fang Zhi made an appointment with the other person to meet tomorrow, then put away his phone and started to help with work.

On the last class on the eve of the holiday, every student's heart is rippling and restless.

Before, Fang Zhixin would not be in this rank.

But today is different, when he thinks about what he will do later, he gets a little excited, and he takes out his phone to check the time from time to time.

Finally, when the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Fang Zhi grabbed his schoolbag and rushed out of the classroom.

"Hey! Who is that running so fast! My test papers haven't been issued yet..."

There was a faint shout from Li Bihuai behind him, but Fang Zhi couldn't care less, he opened the car-hailing interface to call for a car, and rushed downstairs while leaning on the handrail of the stairs.

When I rushed to the school gate, the car I called came just in time.

Fang Zhi rushed to the back seat and closed the door, slumped on the seat and slowly recovered his breath.

"It's a holiday and you're in a hurry to go home, right?" The driver looked quite young, and teased him with a smile, "I'm sweating."

Normally Fang Zhi wouldn't pay attention to such meaningless conversations, but now he is in such a good mood that he can't hold back his words: "No, go make a gift for your classmates."

"Classmate? Don't be a female classmate, right? So excited."

Fang Zhi was stunned for a moment, but before he could recall the meaning of the words, the phone rang twice.

Three pieces of news, one from Xuxie and two from Jiang'an.

He opened Jiang An's first.

[Ahhh]: Brother Fang, are you possessed by Super Wings today?Why did it disappear in the blink of an eye?

[Ah-huh]: Li Bihuai is so angry, he didn't give me the test paper, and told you to get it from him when you come back from vacation.

Fang Zhi replied "Got it", and then clicked on Xu Xie's message.

[Big Brother Xu]: Let's go together?

[FZ.]: I have something to do, so let's go first.

It took several minutes for the message to come back.

[Big Brother Xu]: Alright, be careful.

Xu Xie leaned against the wall at the back door of Class [-], frowned at Fang Zhi's "hmm", feeling a little panicked in her heart.

He didn't know if it was his own illusion, Fang Zhi seemed to have been... avoiding him for the past two days?

Could it be that I have revealed something again?

As he walked, Mr. Xu wondered if he had done any outrageous things or actions in the past two days, but in fact, since Zhi went home to live, the number of times they met in a day can be counted on the fingers.

Could it be... that night when he went to Fang Zhi's house, his little trick was discovered?

Xu Xie's right eyelid twitched in response.

His memory rewound rapidly in a panic, and the details of that night flashed across his mind bit by bit.

... No wonder, no wonder Fang Zhi rolled over and dodged as soon as he stretched out his hand.

The more Xu Xie thought about it, the more panicked she became, and finally had to stop by the side of the road, took out her phone and clicked on the WeChat chat interface with Fang Zhi.

After opening it, he didn't know what to say.

Did you discover something?Are you avoiding me?Then... can we still stand together and laugh?

Or he can put it more bluntly, have you found out that I like you?That being the case, do you... like me?

The wind roared through the student forest, and the rustling sound of the leaves rubbing against each other suddenly resounded.

It was only then that Xu Xie realized that he had run to the small road in the student forest at some point in time. Across a forest, the noise of school hours seemed distant and indistinct.

His fingertips trembled violently.

This trembling brought back his sanity, and he reopened the chat interface with Fang Zhi.

He needed Fang Zhi to say something to stop his derailed thoughts.

The thoughts in the brain are rushing, and it actually falls on the fingertips, with only a short line of words.

[Brother Xu]: I celebrate my birthday tomorrow, will you still come?

He didn't find anything wrong with his way of asking, in fact, he sent it out immediately after typing.

He desperately needed Fang Zhi's answer.

Fang Zhi replied in seconds.

[FZ.]: Definitely go.
