Tropical Highway

The matter of one-on-one tutoring for Tenzin was decided, and according to You Zhen's suggestion, the location was in a small private room in the backyard of "Holiday".The location is at the farthest corner, quiet, and the white gauze curtain is placed to cover a space with soft light.

The next day happened to be the weekend, Zhai Lan woke up early, and went to the "holiday" with a brand new notebook with great interest to start this new summer job.

He was very confident at first, after all, he already had "teaching experience" in a village primary school. Facing Tenzin who trusted him relatively, and the other party was one of the children with the best grades in Renqing Village, Zhai Lan didn't feel that How hard is the job.He subconsciously thought that Yang Jin hesitated to speak at first, maybe he was worried about himself, a fledgling half-baked teacher.

After half an hour of class, this idea completely disappeared, and Zhai Lan suddenly understood Yang Jin's worry——

It's not that I'm worried that he doesn't teach well, it's that I'm worried that he will go berserk.

Tsering Tenzin is such a difficult child to teach...

Zhai Lan understands the truth, compared with himself, Tenzin grew up in a completely different environment.

He grew up in the small village of Nyingchi until he was a teenager, and most of the time he was raised by his parents to grow wildly.Even though Li Feimu was full of praise for Tenzin's ability to understand, but the foundation has fallen, and the years of studying together are completely incomparable with the children in the city.The eye disease has not yet healed, and the time for each study is limited, and when the time comes, you must rest on time.

For all these reasons, Ze Rendan could still keep up with the texts of the extra studies, but when he encountered English, which he hadn't had much exposure to before, and mathematics, which was obviously more difficult than one grade, he immediately lost his mind.

Tenzin couldn't understand Zhai Lan's usual way of solving problems, and he couldn't find a way to explain it for a while.

Time seemed to stand still.

Holding two glasses of drinks, You Zhen opened the curtain and walked into the private room. What he saw was a picture of one big and one small looking at each other silently, staring in a daze at the fifth grade math workbook in front of him.

"What's the matter?" He couldn't help laughing, and sat down beside Zhai Lan, "What are you teaching?"

Zhai Lan covered her face in pain.

He wouldn't lose his temper with Tenzin, but he couldn't get rid of his depression now, so he could only sigh.Seeing this, Tenzin on the opposite side was even more cramped, clutching his pen, and had no place to rest his other hand.

After understanding everything, You Zhen took the topic: "Hey, have you started teaching equations in elementary school now?"

"Hmm..." Zhai Lan scratched his head, "I underestimated the pressure on elementary school students."

You Zhen didn't hold back, and said with a "puchi": "Mr. Xiaolan, you are a high-achieving student in the Department of Mathematics of X University. Did you make a mistake? Tenzin doesn't know how to substitute it. You just follow his train of thought, and it's fine if you don't know how to do the questions. "

"I want to explain to him clearly." Zhai Lan muttered stubbornly.

You Zhen was silent for a moment, and said to Tenzin: "It's time for a break, why don't you go out and play with Sister Xiaoyu for a while?"

Tenzin could understand the wink, knowing that You Zhen intended to push himself away, nodded hurriedly, took the drink that You Zhen handed him, and exited the box.

"You think there is something wrong with my method." Zhai Lan said firmly.

You Zhen denied it: "I think you have to follow him to understand the world in his eyes, and you can't do it overnight. To teach him, it's not enough to be 'serious', let alone force him to adapt to the environment."

Little Huomiao was easily comforted by You Zhen, and Zhai Lan lay down on the table in frustration: "Ah... I don't know..."

"Just let nature take its course." You Zhen grabbed Zhai Lan's short fluffy hair, "Why don't you change your mind? Tenzin came here mainly for medical treatment, not to get into a good school. Yang Jin is also worried about him Physically, I never thought of cultivating him into a seedling of a key university, let's be more tolerant to him, and take it slowly?"

"I know." Zhai Lanweng replied in a low voice, "I'll try a different method later and talk about practical problems."

You Zhen: "That's right."

The feeling of being rubbed hair was still there, Zhai Lan kept lying down and turned his head sideways, You Zhen's hand slipped down, and took advantage of the opportunity to pinch his stiff neck twice.The hands were a little cold, Zhai Lan's skin was hot, and the two looked at each other and suddenly lost their voice at the same time.

Zhai Lan's gaze was piercing, causing You Zhen to retract his movements all of a sudden.

Slightly embarrassed, the small space for Tenzin to study hard is full of privacy at this time.The light ocean scent of the solid aromatherapy, the freshly cut endless summer blooms on the table, the warm light shining through, reflected in Zhai Lan's eyes.

The edges of the pupils also seemed to be dyed an imperceptible purple.

Eyelashes fluttered, You Zhen woke up like a dream.

He took the drink to try to relieve the overly ambiguous atmosphere, and pushed in front of Zhai Lan: "By the way, I took this to let... Do you want to try it?"

"A new product?" Zhai Lan sat up straight.

You Zhen smiled: "That's right, didn't I ask you to give me a free trial? Hurry up."

The attention was successfully diverted, and the imperceptible and wonderful atmosphere seemed to have solidified into a glass shell, which seemed to still be there, enveloping the two of them, but it was not so difficult to breathe.

Zhai Lan took the straw and stirred vigorously a few times, the liquid in it was clear, and I couldn't tell what the ingredients were, but the blue was very beautiful.The ice cube hit the wall of the transparent glass, and there was a crisp sound, just right to appease the impatience just now.

Taking a breath, Zhai Lan was so cold that he gasped: "Damn, it's so cold..."

"It's cool, isn't it?" You Zhen showed the cunning of a successful trick.

After the initial ice subsides, there is a mint flavor, which is a bit sour, but I can't really taste the specific taste, and Zhai Lan is still savoring it carefully, but the sourness seems to escape, and I can't catch it suddenly.But when he was still thinking about it, his mouth gradually returned to sweetness, a little sweet, not like syrup, Zhai Lan couldn't describe it.

A little addicted, Zhai Lan raised his eyebrows after several sips.

You Zhen asked him: "Like it?"

"I like it." He replied honestly. "It smells like peppermint."

"anything else?"

Zhai Lan closed her eyes and recalled carefully: "Sea salt? But it's not lemon... grapefruit that's sour?"

You Zhen almost applauded him.

After guessing the ingredients correctly, Zhai Lan suddenly became more confident.

He observed the shape of the glass again, and it gradually overlapped with the "to be determined" in the circle of friends in his memory.But the blue color of that glass of drink was deeper than the one in front of me, as if there was cream or cheese with a white circle on top, and the ice cubes were in the shape of a snow mountain.

"Isn't it the one you posted before?" Zhai Lan asked.

You Zhen nodded knowingly: "It's the version without milk, I tasted it and it feels more refreshing."

"You have to put the two glasses together for me to try." Zhai Lan joked, and took another sip, "The menu hasn't been listed yet, so I'm the first to drink it besides you, right?"

"That's right." You Zhen turned sideways, with an inexplicable sense of aggression in the posture of leaning his elbows on the edge of the table, "What's your name?"

"I?"

"Well, you."

Zhai Lan asked amusedly, "Why?"

Looking away for a while, You Zhen pursed his lips, and his expression was briefly shy: "I wanted to call it 'Nanja Bawa', but after thinking about it, I still think it's not appropriate. The taste is like Mojito, a little prickly, I don't know why... ...feels a lot like you."

The back suddenly became hot, and the fleeting excitement made Zhai Lan's fingers numb.

He didn't know that You Zhen would describe himself with a drink.

In any case, this seems to indicate that they will always have stories left in "Holiday."

"There's a song in your playlist that I really like." Zhai Lan blinked quickly, "That's it, 'thisiswater'."

At first, the piano melody was gentle, like a tranquil lake, and slowly entered the strings. The repeated melody spread like ripples, superimposed layer by layer.Then came the gentle percussion music, which fell silent in an instant, the sound of the keyboard became quieter, only the string music continued like weeping, quiet for a few seconds, the guitar chords had the rhythm of a march, and the state of mind of the water was ever-changing.

The water of the lake pours, spreads, surges, and is about to return to the sky——

The human voice was added last, clean and powerful. After washing away all the instrumental music, the singing seemed to bring the purest power.

"I like that song very much." Zhai Lan said shyly, "I have listened to it several times."

This song has been on Youzhen's playlist for a long time, and he didn't try to give it to anyone. He only played it randomly once when listening to the song together, and Zhai Lan fell in love at first sight.

Except for the accident, You Zhen only had joy in his heart and eyes.

He and Zhai Lan were originally two people who had nothing to do with each other. There was almost no overlap in hobbies, life experiences, and family backgrounds.But when they met, it was like sparks bursting out into colorful colors, and every little action could fit with each other, and they immediately heard the words in each other's hearts without saying anything.

Zhai Lan is someone who can understand his "little period", and is also the one who can accurately pick out one of his most secret treasures from hundreds of songs, as if they were born to meet each other.

No one would be willing to refuse such a tacit understanding.

Holiday's new summer drink is called "thisiswater," in honor of one of their favorite songs.

Zhai Lan usually has to go to school to attend classes. He and Tenzin jointly made a schedule, mainly on weekends and weekdays on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights.After talking with You Zhen, he slowed down and worked on the questions with Tenzin.

After a week, Zhai Lan got used to this rhythm.

He even started to come to Youzhen's shop with his computer and books whenever he was free. Apart from liking it, he also deliberately avoided Li Feimu.Since the dinner at his aunt's house, Li Feimu has approached Zhai Lan several times. He didn't want to target his cousin, but the tension in his heart has not completely disappeared.

Zhai Lan knew that Li Feimu was innocent, so in order to avoid impulsively saying anything that would damage the friendship between the two, he sent a message to Li Feimu, saying that he hoped not to communicate for the time being, and that both of them should calm down.

On the second Monday, at 09:30 in the evening, Yang Jin came to pick up Tenzin, and paid Zhai Lan a tuition fee.

He was not polite to Yang Jin, and accepted it generously, and finally invited Tenzin to eat a small cake.

"Holidays" are open from 11am to 10pm, but on weekdays, and since they don't sell alcohol, it's usually quiet after 9pm.Several clerks are working in shifts, Xiao Yu who is on duty that day has something to do, You Zhen let her go first, when Zhai Lan finishes, only You Zhen and the fat cat are left in the outer hall.

The fat cat's name is "Boss You", Zhai Lan was speechless for a long time when he heard this name for the first time.

You Zhen: "I didn't come up with the name."

His words are not false.

Boss You, as the second generation of homeless, was adopted by Jiang Fang at first. He doted on him very much and made him fat and strong.Later, Jiang Fang was promoted to become a father, and he had no time to take care of it, so he was taken in by the owner of the real game, and since then he has solved the problem of eating and drinking for the rest of his life.

However, this cat's personality is cloudy and cloudy, so it depends on the eye and has no rules.

Zhai Lan used to like it quite a lot, but Boss You scratched it the first time he came into contact with it. Although he didn't bleed, he still has a psychological shadow and dare not touch it again.

At night, under the warm lights of "Holiday", You Zhen stood at the bar counter to pack up the cups, and when he looked up, he saw Zhai Lan and Boss You each occupying a seat opposite the table.

From time to time, the boy's small eyes glanced at the cow fat cat, stretched out his hand, and then retracted it silently.

"What do you see it doing?" You Zhen asked amusedly.

"I want to touch it." Zhai Lan said painfully, "but I'm afraid it will scratch me again."

"Actually, it's very soft, and once you get to know it well, you'll find it's cute." You Zhen smoothed things over for the cat, "It's obviously very cowardly, but it's not easy to mess with it if you pretend to be domineering. I want to apologize to you but I'm afraid you won't do it if I scratched someone else. Happy, take two steps and take one step back, just waiting for you to take the initiative to touch—I don’t know who I look like if I lose my temper.”

Talking to himself, You Zhen's ears suddenly turned red when he saw Zhai Lan's bewildered expression.

Quite like Zhai Lan.

……

how so.
