Quit constantly

The last exam before the winter vacation is the final exam.

One day half a month before the final exam, Fang Shizhuo conducted a test for the students according to the grade arrangement. The questions were given by the teaching and research group, and Xu Yin scored more than 70 points in the test.

As soon as the grades came out, he took the test papers and came to Fang Shizhuo to ask for credit. He couldn't hide the joy on his face: "Teacher, I have improved again!"

"You did well in the exam this time." Fang Shizhuo was also very pleased, but he didn't want him to be too proud: "But we have to make persistent efforts."

Xu Yin asked: "Then can I ask the teacher for a reward?"

"Reward?" Fang Shizhuo put down the pen in his hand and looked at him with interest, "What reward do you want?"

Xu Yin said truthfully: "Actually, I haven't made up my mind yet, can I keep it for now?"

This is the same as playing a game with a child. Fang Shizhuo felt naive while cooperating with him: "You tell me so that I can answer whether I will give it to you."

Xu Yin thought for a while, and tentatively said, "Then go to the movies, I haven't been to a movie for a long time."

He hasn't seen a movie with his teacher yet.

But watching a movie is a private thing, he is not sure if Fang Shizhuo will agree.

Sure enough, Fang Shizhuo was a little hesitant, this is something that should be done between friends and lovers, and with the relationship between him and Xu Yin, it is somewhat inappropriate.

But he and Xu Yin can be regarded as friends now, and going to the movies between friends is not too much.

The line between them is too blurred, no one can draw a clear line between the Milky Way.One step back is too little, and one step forward is too much, Fang Shizhuo is always at a loss as to how to grasp it.

If he doesn't agree, he is worried that Xu Yin will be disappointed and lose the motivation to study.

After weighing it, Fang Shizhuo promised him: "If you can get eighty points in the exam next time, I will promise you."

"Can't you do it this time?" Xu Yin looked a little lonely, "It's just watching a movie, it won't waste too much time."

A movie, instead of going to the beach, does not need to make strategies and arrangements many days in advance, and it only takes two hours at most.

He doesn't want to wait for the next time, who knows if there will be a next time?He didn't want this to be the same as the promise he had heard many times, from being full of joy until sinking into the sea.

Fang Shizhuo is considering the time issue: "Study is too stressful now, after the final exam is over, I can relax."

"That's it."

"Well, it's settled."

In fact, Xu Yin said that he wanted to go to the movies not entirely out of selfishness. Near the end of the term, school work became more and more heavy. He always saw the tiredness on Fang Shizhuo's face, but he couldn't help him share it.

But Fang Shizhuo still only regards him as a student and never talks to him about his troubles at work.

Of course, he wants to go to the movies with his teacher and do things that only close people can do, but compared to himself, he wants to take Fang Shizhuo to relax.

Helpless, he could only think of other ways.

On Saturday evening, Fang Shizhuo drove him home to make up lessons as usual.

He saw Xu Yin's progress, and the speed of solving the questions was much faster than before, but this was not enough. He knew that Xu Yin's goal was more than that.

Coastal schools have high scores and high competition, and admissions are based on merit.He had checked, and in previous years, he had to cross the line for [-] to [-] minutes before he could barely get in, and the competition for better majors was even fiercer.

And the score line has been higher every year, and Xu Yin's current results are far from enough.

As soon as he entered the house, Xu Yin said: "Teacher, you should rest for a while, and you will have class later today."

Fang Shizhuo put down the bag in his hand and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Yin pushed him and let him sit on the sofa: "I'm hungry, let's eat first."

Fang Shizhuo is not too hungry yet, so he has no plans to eat at his place: "Just make your own, I'll eat when I get home."

"Isn't teacher hungry?" Xu Yin pretended to be pitiful, "But it's so lonely to eat alone, can teacher accompany me to eat?"

He will always handle Fang Shizhuo's heart just right, and Fang Shizhuo can't resist his pitiful appearance the most.

"OK then."

Seeing his promise, Xu Yin happily entered the kitchen, put on his apron, and started to burn oil.

From the angle of the sofa, Fang Shizhuo could see his busy figure vaguely through a layer of frosted glass.

After a while, a scent came from the kitchen.

Xu Yin didn't eat at school as usual at noon, but went home, prepared the ingredients in the refrigerator that he bought the day before, and made semi-finished products.

In this way, you can prepare a meal without wasting too much time.

He didn't know if Fang Shizhuo would like it, but he didn't know how to cook much, and cooking was one of them.

"Teacher, can you eat spicy food?" Xu Yin poked his head out from the kitchen door and asked.

"Ah."

"Slightly spicy?"

"can."

He was busy in the kitchen, and Fang Shizhuo didn't want to be idle. After all, he would have a share of dinner later, so he rolled up his sleeves to help.

"Don't come in." Xu Yin stopped him, "Go out and wait, I'll be right away."

Fang Shizhuo said, "I'll help you."

The choking smell of chili wafted in the small kitchen, and he couldn't help sneezing as soon as he entered.

Xu Yin's hands were also hot, and he opened the window to ventilate: "Teacher, you should go out first."

Fang Shizhuo saw that he didn't help much, but added to the chaos, so he had to withdraw first.He obviously knows how to cook, so why does he look so useless in front of Xu Yin.

Several dishes were quickly fried.

The combination of meat and vegetables is moderately salty.

"So rich?" Fang Shizhuo thought he was just cooking a little, "It's so much, two people can't finish it."

Xu Yin sat down and said, "Last time I said I would make delicious food for you, but I'm not only good at cooking instant noodles."

Fang Shizhuo just said casually, why did he still remember his revenge?Besides, the instant noodles he cooked were much more delicious than those cooked by himself.

"Teacher, taste it quickly." Xu Yin gave him a piece of shrimp.

These dishes require a lot of work, and the preparation of the ingredients alone takes a lot of time. The shrimp needs to be molted, and the eggplant needs to be oiled.

Fang Shizhuo asked: "When did you prepare?"

"noon."

"Aren't you going home at noon?"

"I happened to go home and eat today." Xu Yin changed the subject, "How does it taste?"

Of course Fang Shizhuo understood his good intentions. He knew that he would come at night, so he prepared the materials at noon.Even if Xu Yin said that he was hungry, he couldn't hide the fact that the meal was made for himself.

"Actually, you don't have to do this. I'm here to give you lessons, not to eat with you."

"But I want to eat with you." Xu Yin said frankly, "The teacher may not understand that I eat alone every day. Even if I cook a table full of dishes, there is no one to share my feelings with."

"It's only one day a week. Someone can accompany me for dinner. Knowing that the teacher is coming on Saturday, I've been looking forward to it since Monday."

Fang Shizhuo swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty, unable to speak.

He also eats alone every day, three meals a day monotonous, repeating life like a cycle.Of course he understood the prolonged loneliness.

But Xu Yin is different from him. Loneliness is a compulsory course for adults, but it shouldn't be for a senior high school student.

In the third year of high school, even if she wasn't surrounded by stars, she was still greeted by her parents. There was no such thing as Xu Yin, who didn't care about eating and drinking.

Fang Shizhuo originally thought that his parents would come over on weekends, or maybe they would go home because of weekends, but they didn't.He had never met Xu Yin's parents, and he had never even seen Xu Yin talk to them on the phone.

Xu Yin was lonelier than him.

"Teacher, can you eat with me more in the future?" Xu Yin said, "I will do it without the teacher."

Fang Shizhuo was silent, and before he could answer, he saw his eyes were red with water in their sockets.

He didn't refuse, so Xu Yin wouldn't have such a big reaction.

He admitted that his "I didn't come to eat with you" just now was a bit hurtful. It might have hit Xu Yin's sore spot and reminded him of the unhappy past, but it wouldn't be... about to cry?

"Teacher, I..."

Halfway through Xu Yin's words, uncontrollable tears fell down.

Fang Shizhuo's heart suddenly softened, and he quickly took out a tissue to wipe him.

"I said something harsh just now, and I didn't mean it." He explained hastily, "I'll just eat with you on Saturdays from now on."

"No, it's chili pepper." Xu Yin accidentally rubbed his eyes with his hand just now, the heat made him tear up, "Teacher, I got chili pepper in my eye."

Fang Shizhuo froze for a moment, then woke up like a dream.

"Quick, rinse with water."

Xu Yin's hands were still hot, so he didn't dare to touch them casually, his eyes were so irritated that he couldn't open his eyes: "I still have chili peppers on my hands, teacher, please help me wash them off."

Fang Shizhuo quickly took off his watch, holding clear water in both hands to help him rinse.

Because his eyes were uncomfortable, Xu Yin couldn't help blinking, and his eyelashes rubbed against his palm, itching.

"Is it better?" Fang Shizhuo asked.

"Ah."

"Can you open your eyes?"

Xu Yin blinked, the water droplets on the eyelashes rolled down, the eyes were still red.

Fang Shizhuo took a paper towel for him to dry off: "Are you still uncomfortable?"

"it's better now."

Xu Yin turned around and rinsed his hands with cold water. In fact, he had washed his hands after cutting the chili just now, but the chili was too hot, and it was still burning his skin.

Fang Shizhuo saw that the backs of his hands were flushed, which was obviously in contrast with the original fair skin: "Are you allergic?"

Xu Yin dried it with a towel, not wanting to worry him: "It's not that serious, it's just that it wasn't cleaned just now."

"Is it all right?"

Xu Yin sat back at the dining table: "It's okay, let's eat quickly, the food is getting cold."

Fang Shizhuo also sat back suspiciously.

As soon as he sat down, Xu Yin vaguely remembered: "Teacher, did you promise me something just now?"
