evening tide

Chao Xin didn't think he was impulsive.

On the contrary, when I think about it carefully, Xiang Wan's neglect in the past few days has already fully explained the problem. What's more, Chao Xin asked her three questions in a persuasive tone, and Xiang Wan's attitude was all rejection.

Enough is enough, and it is not good enough to pull it down.

What's more, Chao Xin and Xiang Wan made an agreement to give her a semester, and she should have been prepared for another answer. To be more precise, Chao Xin has always been preparing for another answer.

Xiang Wan itself was an unexpected joy in her life, and with such a long time, she could be regarded as one of the few favors she has received.

It's just that greed occasionally comes out a little bit.

For example, when cutting vegetables, she would be distracted and unconsciously listen to the sound of the door lock. Once she heard that there was indeed one, she put down the knife and went out, and saw Pai Pai squatting on the ground and said: "Auntie, the cat next door is running away." Come here, it's so cute."

For another example, she began to keep her mobile phone in her hand. When discussing contracts in the studio, or even having dinner with clients, she would unconsciously hold the mobile phone in her palm and check the time from time to time.

She kept thinking, when will Xiang Wan come to pick up the things?Did she forget something here?Or, because I don't want to see her, I don't even want anything.

She wanted to ask Xiang Wan, but felt as if she was urging her to leave, she was not willing to do this to Xiang Wan, nor was she willing to do this to herself.

What Xiang Yuan kept here was a hope that was even more inconspicuous than a fishing line, and it could prove that they still had a little connection.Although this fishing line was gradually stretched as time went by, it became thinner and thinner, and it was about to break.

Papai was a little slow, and it was almost over a month before she remembered to ask: "Where is Teacher Xiang? I don't seem to have seen Teacher Xiang recently."

"Teacher Xiang is very busy." Chao Xin said.

"Oh, then you can ask her when she will be back."

Chao Xin concentrated on cutting the fruit: "What do you want?"

"During the Spring Festival, she told me that the story of General Wang Dun of the Li Dynasty made me guess what color his little dog Xuetuanzi was. I checked the information for a long time and asked my teacher. My teacher said that the dog Isn’t it called Xuetuanzi, it should be white.”

"I thought, yes! Why am I so stupid? Tell me, I want to check the answer with her."

Paipai stood beside the counter, pawing and looking at her.

Chao Xin thought about asking about Xue Tuanzi's appearance to Wan Shibai, smiled complicatedly, then lowered his eyes, and said, "You don't need to ask her, it's white."

"Wow, it's really white?" Papai was incredible.

"Yeah." Chao Xin picked up a piece of orange and fed it to her mouth.

The cards were stuffed with fruit, and they left muttering.

Chao Xin continued to cut melons and fruits, and suddenly his heart seemed to be crushed by dense needles, and he was a little out of breath.

In the first ten days of the second month, I received an invitation for a Lily radio play in my mailbox.Chao Xin looked at the story and the stf list, but there was no CV information for the cooperation, so he asked his partner as usual.

The other party replied: "Teacher, we really want to cooperate with you, so we invited you as the first one. The others haven't been decided yet, but we want to invite you and Teacher Xiang Wan for a second date."

Chao Xin sat on the chair, stroked his upper arm, and pinched his forearm, and it turned red instantly.

Then she moved her feet, straightened her back, and typed a few words expressionlessly: You should ask her first.

The other party replied quickly, taking the email as a QQ message: Does Teacher Chao have any concerns?

"No," Chao Xin said, "I just heard that Teacher Xiang has gone to school recently and has reduced the intake of new students. I might want to see if she has time."

The cursor flickered a few times, and Chao Xin clicked send.

The response to this email was particularly long, longer than she waited for the results of the first audition.

One hundred ants eat one's heart, but only these four words.

The comedians in the variety show made exaggerated expressions, and the sound of hahahaha was endless. Chao Xin sat with his legs crossed, and picked up his phone to take a look.

After putting it down for three seconds, I picked it up again and turned off the wifi. The wifi at home is always disconnected, and her 5G is often faster.

The mobile phone was lying in her hand, and her fingertips were tapping on the screen like playing a piano. Suddenly, she frowned and remembered something. She walked to the recording studio wearing slippers, and the computer was still on the mailbox interface.

Chao Xin leaned down and clicked "Receive Letters" again, the progress bar ran over like a rumbling truck, but there were no new letters.

Click the second, third, and fourth times.

It turns out that the mobile app push is not timely.Chao Xin thought to himself mockingly.

Standing up, waiting for a while with drooping eyelids, Chao Xin habitually pressed the tip of his tongue against his mouth, then turned and went out.

After one o'clock in the evening, Chao Xin sat on the bed in a daze like the previous nights.

The phone lights up at what should be a quiet hour, and the email comes back.

The other party said: Teacher Chao, you are right in thinking. Teacher Xiang really doesn’t have time. Then let’s make an appointment with another teacher. We plan to invite Teacher Ji Mingcheng again.

In fact, Xiang Wan had time. When she went to the studio to sign the contract with freelancer Feng Guo two days ago, she said that she was recording a part of Teacher Xiang's collaboration recently, and it just finished recording.

Chao Xinyun asked calmly, oh, is that right?How is Mr. Xiang?It's been a long time since we finished working together last time.

Feng Guo said that the state is very good, and the momentum is so good now, it is said in the circle that the next top player is still in the SC studio.

In the second half, Chao Xin didn't listen, and only stopped at her "condition is very good".

There was still the smell of Xiangwan's shampoo and shower gel beside the pillow, even after changing the quilt once, she always felt that it was still there.

It was only later that I realized that because I used the same shampoo as Xiang Wan, Chao Xin placed an order and changed all the cleaning products, including face cream.

Xiang Wan really didn't want to see her.Chao Xin covered the quilt, closed his eyes, and still had these words in his mind.

The next day was Saturday, Chao Xin got up and replied to yesterday's email, told her to pick it up, then called Yu Zhou and asked if she was free today?

Yu Zhou was a little taken aback, and quickly said, of course.

Chao Xin then said that Xiang Wan had something at her house, and she wanted to take it to school, but it was inconvenient to go upstairs, so could you ask Yu Zhou to deliver it to the dormitory.

Sure enough, something went wrong.Yu Zhou was silent for a while, but she couldn't ask directly about her relationship with Chao Xin.After the last phone call, she has regretted her rashness many times.

Yu Zhou thought for a while, and said, "It's afternoon, let's see what's convenient, I'll come and get it."

After a pause, he added, "I'm here alone."

It's better not to talk to Su Chang yet.

Chao Xin and Yu Zhou made an appointment to meet at the gate of Jiangmen at three o'clock in the afternoon.Yu Zhou wore a coat with horn buttons and waited for her in the wind. Chao Xin parked the car on the side of the road and took out a large suitcase and a plastic bag from the trunk. Yu Zhou wanted to reach for it, Chao Xin thought. After thinking about it, he said, "I'll take it downstairs in the dormitory, it's a bit heavy."

The wind was really strong, and Yu Zhou couldn't open his eyes a little, so he stopped being polite, and just said in a repeated voice: "Okay, okay."

The two walked towards the dormitory side by side, neither of them said a word. When they arrived at the small garden, it was still Yu Zhou who said, "I called you last time..."

"It's okay," Chao Xin bowed his head and said, "I've made an agreement with Wan Wan."

She called Wan Wan, and seemed to say intentionally or unintentionally, that the two got together and parted ways, and there was no quarrel or resentment, which reassured Yu Zhou and his friends.

Yu Zhou then choked back the words, and when they got downstairs, Chao Xin handed her the box and the plastic bag, scratched the itchy bridge of his nose, and said, "After you take the plastic bag up, tell her to tidy it up first. There are a few fragile items like toner, and I put those wooden ornaments in the box for her, and I was afraid that the glass bottle would be crushed, so I carried it alone."

Yu Zhou listened carefully, wrote it down, and said hesitantly, "Aren't you going to meet her?"

"No, I have something else to do."

"Well, that's fine, you do your work first, I'll have a meal with her after delivering the things in a while."

"Thank you, I'm sorry to trouble you." Chao Xin said in a low voice.

Yu Zhou sighed, bid farewell to Chao Xin, registered the visitors, and went upstairs with his things.

Chao Xin stood at the bottom for a while, there was still an inseparable couple in the wind, she was very out of place inside, so she wrapped her coat tightly, stepped on the heel of her high-heeled shoes, turned and walked outside.

The sycamore leaves on both sides of the avenue were crushed and creaked, and the girl who turned from the newsstand stopped.

Holding the book in his arms, Xiang squinted at the figure at the corner. He was wearing a black coat, his long curly hair was slightly messy in the wind, and his shoulders were slightly shrunk due to the cold. He wrapped his coat while walking outside.

The way you walk is so similar to...

She tilted her head to take a closer look, but it disappeared all of a sudden, like her illusion.

He lowered his head and took out his phone from his bag, but there was no news.

Xiang Wan hugged the book tightly, blinked in the wind, and headed to the dormitory.
