evening tide

After that parting, both Chao Xin and Xiang Wan got busy.

Xiang Wan was busy with many matters related to the start of school, while Chao Xin was the same as before, finishing work after [-] pm every day and going to school to pick up cards.

Papai has been very clingy lately. Other children at this age are about to enter puberty, but Papai has become smaller and smaller. After doing homework for a while, he has to find an excuse to come out and pour water, and then let Chao Xin on the sofa hug him.

On the third weekend of September, Chao Xin was going to start working as a lecturer in SC Studio. She was not very good at making courseware, so she prepared for several days.And Xiang Wan was going to attend the school's mobilization meeting, but he didn't come back.

On the fourth weekend of September, Xiang Wan went to Jingli, a suburb of Jiangcheng, for a [-]-day closed military training.

Xiang Wan wanted to meet Chao Xin before the military training, so he invited her to dinner on Thursday night.

She wanted to book a restaurant, but Chao Xin said that today she agreed to make steak for Paipai, so she can only eat it at home.

After thinking about it, Xiang Wan agreed, so after receiving the cards at 05:30, Chao Xin stopped by the school to pick her up.

In fact, Xiang Wan can go home by himself, but Chao Xin is a little cautious.

She parked the car in a temporary parking space on the side of the road, let Pa Pai sit in the car and waited for a while, and entered the campus by herself.

Xiang Wan was not in the dormitory, sitting on the lawn next to the dormitory building, with a yellow wood teaching chair and a red armband on the sleeve.

Seeing Chao Xin, her eyes curled up and her heels moved, but she didn't stand up, she just smiled and said, "Wait for me a little longer, I can leave at six o'clock."

"This is you?" Chao Xin stood in front of her, looking her up and down.

"I'm on duty."

"On duty?"

"Well," Xiang Wan explained, "Didn't you tell me that you can join some school clubs, this is a campus feature, and you may not have the opportunity in the future, so I went shopping that day when clubs recruited new students. "

"And then?" Chao Xin thought her tone was quite interesting.

In other words, Xiang Wan is very interesting. After not seeing her for a few days, she has become gentle and pleasant again, as well-behaved as a cat that never stretches its paws.

"I looked left and then looked again," Xiang Wan tilted his head to the left and right, Miaoman's voice was full of cadence, "I found an organization called 'School Guard'."

"I didn't know what it was. I thought it was the campus health team, doing some medical work, so I went for an interview." He is a hero who saves lives and heals the wounded.

"I found out during the interview that it is the campus security team responsible for security management."

Chao Xin laughed out loud, his tone was very low, with casual desire: "You know, don't you run away?"

"I don't have a lot of face, I am a man and I keep my promises. Although it was a mistake, it is not easy to escape, so I introduced myself."

"Even if I introduced myself," Chao Xin glanced at her red armband, "You are not too small to be recruited, are you?"

"I think so too."

"so?"

"But that day, there were only two people interviewing."

Chao Xin couldn't bear it anymore, and opened his arms with a smile.

want to hug her.

Xiang Wan noticed it, and peeked to the side: "Take it back."

"how?"

"After a while, some students came to collect the chairs and armbands."

Then touch your face, okay?Chao Xin touched her cheek.

Xiang Wan sat on the chair, staring at her intently, and suddenly felt as if he hadn't seen her for a long time.Chao Xin is really good-looking, in the lush campus like a rose in bloom in the grass, his beauty is outstanding.

Without saying a word, the classmate arrived and greeted Xiang Wan.

Xiang Wan remained motionless: "It's not time yet."

"It's okay, there should be nothing to do today, you go, go to dinner early." The classmate reached out for her red armband.

When Xiang Wan heard about it, he took it off sideways. It was hard to handle with one hand. The classmate wanted to help, but Chao Xin leaned over, carefully and gently took off the pin, and handed it to the classmate.

Xiang Wan also stood up, and the chair was put away. Seeing that the classmate was walking away, he stretched his muscles, took Chao Xin's hand, and did not leave.

"what happened?"

"Tired." She leaned softly, her voice softer than her body.

"Let's go, the license plate is still waiting in the car."

"Let's wait a little longer." It's been a while since I saw each other, and it will be inconvenient to have a card for a while, so Xiang Wan is reluctant to leave.

Chao Xin turned around and hugged her.

Missing this kind of emotion, the most representative action is hugging. What should I use to get closer?Using body temperature, breathing, and heartbeat, using inappropriate emotions in a decent distance, and blatantly impolite in a polite posture.

Use an approach that cannot be criticized at any time and any place, and put your thoughts in broad daylight.

After ten seconds, Xiang Wan was satisfied and let her go: "Let's go."

When I got to the car, I was a little anxious waiting for Papa.

But he still called out politely: "Teacher Xiang."

"Papa." Xiang Wan smiled.

Pa Pai didn't talk to her again, but climbed onto the back of the driver's seat and asked Chao Xin: "Why is it taking so long? Didn't you say, just let me wait for a while?"

"I'm sorry, something happened just now." Chao Xin started the car.

"Then why didn't you tell me? You can also send a WeChat message." Paipai was a little anxious.

"I……"

"Sorry Papai, I was delayed just now." Xiang Wan said.

But Paipe was very disappointed, she looked at Xiang Wan, then at Chao Xin, relaxed her body and fell back into the seat.

Xiang Wan's words meant that she could explain for Chao Xin, and the two of them explained to her little friend together.

She may not be able to fully understand the subtleties, but she has a natural and keen insight, and she feels something different.

Chao Xin used to do this all the time, explaining to others what she did with Paipai, and if Papai got into trouble, she would apologize to the teacher and classmates instead of Papai.

But this time, Xiang Wan replaced Chao Xin and apologized to himself.

The grievance in Papai's heart began to skyrocket and gradually turned into a thorn. She really wanted to say something ignorant: "I'm talking to my mother."

But she can't.

Chao Xin would feel even more of a burden if he flaunted his teeth and claws like this.

She remembered when Chao Xin was holding her in the hospital when she was four or five years old, listening to the doctor's words calmly and solemnly, memorizing every doctor's order, and not forgetting to pat her on the back to comfort her.

At that time, she was in a daze with fever, and opened her mouth to call mom.

Chao Xin held her face and answered her in a low voice, she saw it clearly, and called her auntie, jerky and timidly.

For Pa Pai, Chao Xin is a strange woman who suddenly appeared at her home. She is said to be a aunt, but she is not at all like her mother. The aunt looks like a fairy.

But when she was so young and helpless, Chao Xin hugged her in the hospital and said, "It's okay, you can call me mom."

Later in school, Chao Xin went to talk to her homeroom teacher. She didn't want Papai to be considered different by her classmates because she didn't have parents. She hoped that the teacher would cooperate and call her "Paipai's mother".

At that time, Chao Xin was only in his twenties, so he decided to be Chao Bei's mother.
