sunk in yesterday

As Christmas was approaching, the school hired some staff to decorate the venue. They sat in the garden all afternoon, and nothing happened except for the noisy voices in their ears.

The century-old tree is not difficult to find. It is located in the center of the entire garden. It is the only tree that has not been tossed with messy ribbons and light balls, and its majesty remains the same.The severe cold weather did not restrain its lushness, and the thick branches grew wildly in all directions, forming a large natural parasol, sheltering the benches at several corners.

It's no wonder that Hu Zimo has a soft spot for it, for him, this is indeed a rare comfort zone.

It's a pity that the comfortable environment has been destroyed recently, leaving him nowhere to stay during the day.

The sky was getting dark, and Xia Zhuo hadn't shut up yet. He picked up a big bag full of snacks and opened more than half of them. When he found something he liked, he ate it by himself. The posture of blowing the legs is extremely comfortable.

"Eat less to avoid stomach discomfort at night." Guan Yuzhou was afraid that his stomach would be overwhelmed by eating too much food from the small workshop, so he reminded him.

Xia Zhuo responded perfunctorily, and he pointed his finger up, "This is the tree I saw in the illusion."

Uncle Yang raised his head, and suddenly felt a chill on his back when he heard the words, "He committed suicide here?"

"I don't know, I didn't see where he died, but this place must be very important to him."

On Christmas Eve, all the trees around are hung with colorful lights, wrapped in a strong festive atmosphere.And in the middle of the night when all the excitement gradually dissipated, Hu Zimo chose to die under such an ancient tree that could not eat the fireworks of the world.

Just thinking about the picture makes me feel lonely.

He let out a breath of white air: "It's so cold."

"Don't eat, give it to me." Guan Yuzhou held out his hand to him.

Looking at the clean hand in front of him, Xia Zhuo put the garbage bag containing the debris into his pocket, and then put both hands in Guan Yuzhou's palm, with a look of "what can I do except pamper me" The tone said: "Okay, since you want it so much."

"It's really cold." Guan Yuzhou laughed, and rubbed his chilly fingertips: "I guess we won't be able to wait for anyone to come, so let's go to the cafeteria to have dinner first."

After a rough thought, Xia Zhuo agreed to the proposal: "Okay!"

"Eat so many snacks, don't be unable to eat a regular meal for a while, and don't have a serious meal at noon."

"No, no!" Xia Zhuo puffed up her chest and vowed: "Snacks and meals are packed separately, not in the same stomach, and it will not delay my meal at all."

The setting sun dyed the sky orange. Without the interference of the sun, the employees connected the wires and started to test the lights. The flickering colors jumped in all directions. A large piece of land was like a big stage full of sci-fi and futuristic.

Xia Zhuo didn't take a few steps along the light line, and couldn't help hiccupping, the sound was not small.

Guan Yuzhou immediately cast his gaze.

Xia Zhuo covered her mouth and tried to get away with it: "Heck, turkey is eaten abroad at Christmas. I don't know if the school cafeteria will prepare it for students. If there is, we can still have a meal."

Guan Yuzhou rubbed his stomach for him, but didn't reveal it: "If you have time that night, you can go and have a look."

"What if the cafeteria doesn't do it?"

Guan Yuzhou thought for a while, and said softly: "In reality, there is still some time before Christmas, and I will take you to a restaurant to eat."

Xia Zhuo raised his eyes, he jumped a few steps forward, looked back at the two people who were walking in a hurry, raised his arms and said: "Hurry up, you guys, if you don't leave, there will be no place for the students to finish class !"

"Come on." Guan Yuzhou agreed and quickened his pace.

"It's nice to be young and energetic." Uncle Yang followed up with a smile, "Where are you from? I'll treat you to this meal then."

Guan Yuzhou and Xia Zhuo turned their heads at the same time and looked at him expressionlessly.

Uncle Yang: "..."

He got it.

Uncle Yang: "Hahaha I'm just kidding, I just said it casually, it's better to spend Christmas with your significant other."

Xia Zhuo nodded with satisfaction, he took Guan Yuzhou's words into his heart, and he thought that this guy could do what he said, which meant that in reality they would definitely leave here before Christmas.

He also wanted to try a normal date between a couple.

Guan Yuzhou focused on Xia Zhuo, but asked the people around him: "Aren't you spending Christmas with your family?"

Uncle Yang put his hands in his pockets, and also looked at Xia Zhuo, "Yes, I have to go back and live with my son."

Guan Yuzhou didn't speak.

Uncle Yang chatted on his own: "My son has matured precociously since he was a child, and he has no childishness at all. When other children expect to receive gifts at Christmas, he can tell me seriously that there is no Santa Claus in this world."

Guan Yuzhou said: "People just place part of their life expectations on these days."

Uncle Yang remembered what the old lady said just now: "Make life less bitter?"

Guan Yuzhou smiled: "Maybe so."

"I didn't see it. You are not very old, but you are close to an old man like me. I am really not interested in finding a place to have a drink together after going back?"

"Sorry, not interested."

Unsurprisingly, Uncle Yang touched his nose and didn't insist.

When we got to the cafeteria, the clock on the wall was just after 05:30.

Before gaining a firm foothold, a person came from afar, as if he was very surprised by their arrival, "Hey, get out of class is over so early today?"

Xia Zhuo took a closer look, who else could this person wearing a thick down jacket be Bing Yan?

Her cheeks are much ruddy and rounder than before, and she has a pink hairpin on her head, and her ponytail draws playful arcs with her steps.

Looking at this picture, she should be familiar with all the teachers, so she replied naturally, "I have to work overtime at night, so I came early."

"So busy at school recently?"

Xia Zhuo, who was wandering around all afternoon, was not guilty at all: "I have to do activities and catch up with the schedule, so I can only squeeze time to eat."

"Being a teacher is really hard." Bing Yan expressed deep sympathy after hearing this, and she rolled up her sleeves: "Then I'll make a small cooking for you! What kind of food do you want to eat? I'll fry one now."

"Anything like this?"

"Of course, I was originally here to cooperate with you. I went shopping this morning and bought fresh ribs. How about I show you my skills?"

Xia Zhuo blinked at her lightly, imitating the tone: "Then thank you for your hard work in advance."

"Speak well and don't discharge, I can't stand your set." Not knowing what "that set" is, Bing Yan staggered exaggeratedly: "Sit down first, I'll be here in a while!"

When she disappeared, Uncle Yang said, "This character is completely different from the one we met before."

Xia Zhuo leaned back: "It's better now, fried rice is not as delicious as meat."

Guan Yuzhou suddenly said nonchalantly: "Teacher Xia has worked hard to sell her appearance for the ribs."

Xia Zhuo: "...?"

I always feel that this is not quite right.

"Everyone has to blink, how can you confuse all blinks!" He immediately sat up straight, pointed at himself and blinked at Uncle Yang: "This is called blinking." Then he turned to Guan Yuzhou and blinked twice: "This That’s called discharging.”

Seeing that Guan Yuzhou didn't say anything, Xia Zhuo asked him: "Did you feel the electricity? Teacher Guan~"

Guan Yuzhou denied it without a pause: "No."

"It's because you don't care." Xia Zhuo turned his offensive, covered his chest and sighed: "Only those who love me can feel it. If you don't feel it, it means you don't love me anymore."

I thought this trick could suppress Guan Yuzhou, but Guan Yuzhou didn't panic at all, and raised his eyelids and asked, "Bing Yan felt it, so she loves you?"

"...What, what!" Xia Zhuo didn't expect to be bitten back. He opened his mouth and didn't know what to reply for a long time, so he leaned over obediently: "I was wrong. I can poke my eyes to show my loyalty."

Guan Yuzhou still didn't say a word, but he was afraid that he would not sit still and fall from the chair, so he silently reached out to support his waist.

Xia Zhuo buried himself in his chest, pretending to be sad, and secretly turned his back to Uncle Yang and made a victory gesture to Uncle Yang.

A man who acts like a spoiled child is the luckiest, and he now knows this truth well.

Uncle Yang: "..." You should think about it for me.

Tomorrow, whatever he said, he would bring the little girl to act together. If this continued, his teeth would be sore.

He never thought that he would see a pair of men kissing each other in front of his eyes. The important thing is that there is no sense of disobedience!

Ten minutes later, Bing Yan arrived with a large plate of braised pork ribs and three servings of rice.

Seeing a few people move their chopsticks, she sat down on the empty seat beside her, and asked several times with her chin resting on her hands: "Is it delicious?"

Xia Zhuo answered in a well-mannered manner: "Not bad."

"If it's delicious, do me a favor later."

The ribs are really not for free, Xia Zhuo stopped his chopsticks: "What's the matter, let's talk about it first?"

"It's just a small matter, don't be so nervous." This sounded a little guilty, and Bing Yan couldn't help but glance at other places: "That's what, the principal asked me this morning and said that in the next two days, I will set up a mailbox at the school gate. Whether you are a student or an employee, it is more convenient for you to send letters outside. You don’t have to go all the way to the town to post them. But I am not proficient in this area, and I don’t know where to start. Can I just entrust it to you? To you three For a big man, this kind of thing should be easy!"

Xia Zhuo looked at Guan Yuzhou, wondering if he should agree.

Seeing his hesitation, Bing Yan continued: "I bought all the materials in advance, and I just need to assemble it. Think about it, I am a weak girl shaking a hammer shivering at the school gate in winter. Doesn't this picture feel pitiful?" ?"

"Yes." Guan Yuzhou asked, "Where are the materials?"

"I know you have a conscience!" Bing Yan bent her eyes and took out the key from her pocket: "This is a spare key for the activity room. I put all the materials in the storage cabinet. Remember to lock the door after taking it. You have to return the key. Give it to me, don't lose it."

It turned out to be the key to the activity room that had not been opened, Xia Zhuo reached out and took it.

"Then I won't bother you for dinner. The students will be out of class in a few minutes. I'll go get busy first."

"go Go."

Bing Yan seemed to have solved a disturbing matter, and left happily.

"When it comes to reporters coming to report, all the facilities in the school are being filled." Uncle Yang drank his saliva, "No matter what unit pays attention to superficial skills, I think the principal here doesn't know much about teaching, and most of his thoughts are on fame and fortune."

"It's almost like this." Xia Zhuo agreed with him, "The capitalists used the banner of public welfare to get the government to allocate a large sum of money, and the benefits of whoring others for free will be exaggerated, and those who suffer are us. Working people with dead wages."

Uncle Yang laughed when he heard this: "You are a bit deep into the drama."

Xia Zhuo sighed: "It is said that the wages are good, but in fact we don't get a penny, and we still owe the old lady dozens of dollars, and the savings in our youth in our 20s are actually negative. People at the bottom of society That's all."

The more he talked, the more addicted he became. Guan Yuzhou tapped his chopsticks on the rim of the bowl lightly, reminding him: "Eat seriously."

"Oh." Xia Zhuo put away the keys, and quietly took a few mouthfuls of food.

He was a little stuffed, couldn't eat much, and moved slowly.

A few minutes later, he remembered the letter he saw in the illusion this morning, and suddenly raised his head: "This mailbox may really come in handy, so we have to build it."

Uncle Yang glanced out the window, "It's completely dark now, it's not safe to leave the school gate at this point."

Guan Yuzhou picked up a spare rib and threw it into Xia Zhuo's remaining bowl: "I'll go tomorrow."

Xia Zhuo pretended not to see it: "Then go to 206 now? get out of class is over in 2 minutes. It's not good to bump into Wei Jiaxiang here."

"Wait until you finish eating."

"I actually finished eating. Only smart people can see that there are leftovers." Xia Zhuo turned to Uncle Yang while talking nonsense, "Uncle, you also saw that the bowl is empty, right?"

Uncle Yang: "..." I didn't know whether I should speak for you or not.

Guan Yuzhou smiled slightly, and asked, "Where's your other stomach?"

Xia Zhuo opened his mouth and came: "It asked for leave to rest."

Knowing that he really couldn't eat, Guan Yuzhou compromised, and said helplessly, "Will you still eat so many snacks next time?"

I didn't see too much interest in biscuits and fruits, but I lost self-control in the face of junk food.Judging by his posture this afternoon, he looks like a starved ghost reincarnated. If others don't know, they think he has been starved for several years.

Xia Zhuo posted it to be a good boy: "There is no next time, why do you still mention it next time?"

"You are also quick to react at this time."

"Nonsense!" Xia Zhuo stared: "I'm not slow to react when I think about problems and analyze them. If I put it on someone else, I would have died a hundred and eight times."

"Yes, yes." Guan Yuzhou echoed a few times, "What is Hu Zimo's obsession, have you figured it out?"

Xia Zhuo choked and muttered: "It's not that I don't know, it's just that the time hasn't come yet."
