Chapter 6
Heavenly King Gedihu,
Pagoda Town River Demon
01
weekend.
Lin Man stayed in the house for a day, reading and writing homework, and went online to watch dramas when he was tired.There was no holiday this week in the third year of high school, Gong Xiaqiu only came back halfway to pick up something, and stayed there all day.
Wechat sent several messages.
"Xiao Man, if you don't know anything about physics, leave it blank. I'll tell you when I come back tonight."
"There are fruits and chocolates in the refrigerator, I bought them for you."
"If you don't want to cook, go to the cafeteria to eat, or I will help you cook and come back."
Seeing this, Lin Man quickly replied: "No need, no need, I've cooked dumplings just now, and I'm full." A "satisfied" emoji was carefully attached to the text.
Lin Man was always flattered by Gong Xiaqiu's attitude. She was busy with work and couldn't be meticulous, but she really cared about Lin Man.
Now the days are shorter and the nights are longer, and it is getting dark earlier and earlier.
Lin Man is a person who does not have a nightlife. After taking a shower, she comfortably nestled under the quilt to listen to the radio, and tuned to her favorite channel as usual.
"Hi everyone, it's 20:30 in the evening. The program you are listening to is "Xinshan Evening Chat". I am the host Lu Heng..."
Lin Man once talked about "Xinshan Evening Chat" with the people around her, and most of the girls accepted her Amway because the male host's voice was too crisp.
The classic song "Childhood" sounded: "Under the banyan tree by the pond, cicadas call for summer. On the swing by the playground, only butterflies rest on it, and the teacher's chalk on the blackboard..."
"You must have guessed it. Our theme today is 'Childhood'. Let's talk about childhood stories and those memories that have passed away, but you still remember and treasure them all the time."
People kept calling the radio hotline and chatting with the host about interesting things that happened in their childhood.
"When I was young, I once stood in the yard with a bowl. I was afraid that the rooster in front of me would snatch the food from me. I swallowed the whole mouthful, but the rooster jumped up and pecked at my mouth. My sister, my own sister, was laughing beside me. Rolling down the steps, I got a big bump on my head..."
"When I was in the second grade, I performed sketches on stage, and my mother sculpted me. Yesterday I found an old photo, and I saw a fool in it, with skyrockets all over his head, all tied with colorful rubber bands. Will admit that idiot is me..."
"The six of us lived close together and played together when we were young. Once we went to steal watermelons from the field near our house, and one of them was caught by an adult. He was struggling and shouting, Gou Zi Da Zhu Xiao Qiang Duck Egg Hen Come on Save me, he has exposed all of us survivors after his account. When I go back that night, my mother will have a meal of fried pork on bamboo boards..."
The host smiled and chatted with him: "Now you have exposed the five of you in public once again, Gou Zi Da Zhu Xiao Qiang Duck Egg Hen, which one are you?"
"I'm a duck's egg, because I don't study well, and I often take the duck's egg test."
There are also those who take the path of injury.
"When I was in elementary school, I was not very popular. I was almost isolated by the whole class. Even the teacher didn't like me. Only she was willing to clean up and be in the same group as me. We gradually became good friends who talked about everything. But suddenly one day she transferred to another school and left. I only found out about it when I heard from the class teacher. I didn’t believe it at first. I sat in her seat and cried for a long time that day. I thought to myself, so she hates me too... ..."
Lin Man leaned against the pillow.
All kinds of people are sharing their childhood.
Time passed unknowingly. At the end of the show, the host said: "This year there is a special audience friend who asked me to convey my apology to a girl. That girl grew up with him and became a part of his life. , but yesterday he made her angry..."
"He recorded a song for this girl, "Youth Jin Shi".
Immediately, Lin Man heard the faint and hoarse tone unique to the young man, which came slowly.
It's Zhou Yu.
"Back to May at the end of spring, there are not many people in the market in the early morning, children are singing songs in front of the door, the sun warms the river, the catkins are blowing in the strong wind, and people under the shadow of the trees are falling asleep..."
Lin Man sank into the warm and soft quilt, imagining Zhou Yu singing.
It's a pity I couldn't see it with my own eyes.
Later, the singing stopped, and the accompaniment gradually became weaker. Everyone who listened to "Xinshan Evening Talk" that night suffered a critical blow. The half-powerful half-wrapped words sounded after the last note completely disappeared:
"If you listen to the whole song, you can't be mad at me anymore."
The words echoed clearly in Lin Man's ears.
Lin Man lifted the quilt and got in. The air was thin and his face was flushed.
The phone next to the pillow vibrated, she picked it up and looked, the screen showed that the caller was Zhou Yu.She pressed the answer button almost in a hurry, and her voice was still unsteady: "Hello?"
"Lin Man, have you finished listening?" Zhou Yu asked the first sentence.
"Listen... I've finished listening."
"Are you not angry?"
Lin Man shook his head under the quilt, thinking that he couldn't see it at all, and said, "Yes." He was no longer angry.
Zhou Yu was satisfied: "You go downstairs."
Lin Man was puzzled.
Suddenly understanding, she ran out of bed and opened the window, and the wind poured in head-on.Lin Man poked his head out, and the people under the street lamps also looked up at her at the same time. Above their heads, the sky was full of bright stars.
"Going downstairs? I'll wait for you." Zhou Yu asked.
Lin Man held the phone, his cheeks were flushed, and the heat never faded: "Okay."
She looked down at the cartoon pajamas on her body, pulled out a huge padded jacket from the closet that could hold two of her, and wrapped herself tightly.This dress should have been bought by Lin Hongchuan, and it obviously didn't fit.
Zhou Yu looked at the man who came down from the corridor with his hands and feet bound. He was unable to move, like a stupid penguin.
As soon as he pushed with his finger, she was probably about to fall.
"Are you planning to go to Antarctica for the winter?" Zhou Yu had a smile on his face.
Lin Man didn't lie, and told him solemnly: "The pajamas are too naive, I'm afraid you will laugh at me, but I feel cold after changing them, so I just hide them with a big jacket."
"You're pretty smart."
"Of course, if you are close to Zhu Zhechi, the influence of the environment on people is subtle." Incidentally, he also praised him.
"After that, don't stay too far away from me, or you will become stupid."
She raised her foot and kicked his heel.
"Come out for a walk with me?" Zhou Yu suggested.
Lin Man hesitated. There was only one hour left before the senior year's evening self-study, and Gong Xiaqiu should be back by then.
"Only an hour." She discussed with him.
"Okay." Zhou Yu understood her concerns and promised, "I'll take you back on time."
When Zhou Yu said walk, he took people directly to the Tiyi Building.He was familiar with the way and went through the window, opened the locked door from the inside, and let Lin Man in.
At night, the whole building is silent and empty, filled with deep darkness.
The sound of footsteps one after the other was clear to the ear, and only the light from Zhou Yu's cell phone was in front of his eyes. Lin Man felt a little nervous as he followed behind. He climbed his fingers to the corner of his clothes and asked under his breath, "What are we doing here?"
"You'll find out later."
Zhou Yu slowed down and walked alongside her.The hand shrank back into the sleeve, and suddenly it lay under Lin Man's nose.
"Take it," he said.
Lin Man was startled for a moment, and slowly took his hand through the thin layer of fabric on the sleeve.
Holding it firmly, the temperature belonging to his palm came.
Go inside again, pass through the side door, and find a hidden narrow stairway on the long corridor.
Go up layer by layer.Lin Man didn't know which places she passed in the middle, the darkness blocked her sight.And Zhou Yu is obviously very familiar with this place, leading her calmly all the time.
Finally, the old wooden door that seemed to be embedded in the wall was pushed open, and with a "squeak", the line of sight suddenly became clear, and the whole Xinshan No. [-] Middle School could be seen in full view.
They reached the top floor of the Tiyi Building.
It will be at the top of Lingling, and you can see all the small mountains at a glance, and the scenery on top is particularly good.
But there is another saying, the heights are too cold.
The two of them sat shoulder to shoulder on the concrete pipe. The distant starry sky in the night was really beautiful, and the cold wind was blowing against our faces, which was also really cold.Lin Man looked at the stars and looked at Zhou Yu, wearing a T-shirt and a loose sweater.
At present, she was still worried and asked the young man, "Are you anti-freeze?"
Zhou Yu: "..."
The hand that was held across the sleeve was still not loose.
"You must not catch a cold. If you catch a cold, no one will give me lectures, no one will copy my homework, and there will be one less cleaning person, and..."
With a smile on the corner of Zhou Yu's mouth, he approached, and the slightly sunken pear nest appeared on one cheek again: "What else?"
Lin Man couldn't move his eyes, and exhaled a wisp of white mist from his mouth: "Also, you will not feel well at that time, and you must have a bad temper. As your back desk, I have to worry about it again."
Embarrassed by his stare, she stood up abruptly.
"I feel a little hot, I should wear pajamas." She said, taking off her clumsy big jacket and putting it on for Zhou Yu.
Then, she realized that the fluffy pink rabbit pajamas she was wearing were completely exposed to the air.Before she could react, Zhou Yu hugged her into her arms: "This way, it won't be cold anymore."
He was wearing her padded jacket, and he was wrapping her around.
The clothes changed from long to short on him.
The world of two people is crowded and warm.
Countless stars twinkle overhead, singing the hymn of the night.The moon sleeps in the pond, swaying in the water waves with the reflection of the streamer on the shore.
Five minutes before the evening self-study in the third year of high school, Zhou Yu sent Lin Man back.Walking downstairs, Lin Man finally couldn't help asking him: "How do you know that I will definitely listen to the radio today, what if I didn't hear your "Youth Jinshi"?"
The clear light of the cold moon fell into his eyes, he raised his eyebrows, with his usual casual attitude: "That's fine."
Lin Man pouted and said goodbye to him.
Finally, she turned back and told him: "I forgot to say, you sing really well."
This kind of serious praise makes people's ears warm.Zhou Yu saw her trotting upstairs, her back disappeared, and soon, a light came on in the room on the second floor.
The sudden ringing of the bell broke the silence.
Noisy voices came, and the third year of high school was over.
Sitting by the bed, Lin Man felt something strange and hard in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was a small wooden sign.The color is old, like it has been placed for a long time.
There are traces carved with scissors on it, and the words "gold medal for avoiding death" can barely be recognized.
That was a distant memory.
"This gold medal for avoiding death is for you. If you make a mistake in the future, as long as you take it out, you will be fine. It can save your life." Xiao Linman learned the routine from TV dramas.
It was very popular at that time, and children loved to play it.
I don’t know where Lin Man picked up the wood. It is especially difficult to carve characters. The word “Pai” is complicated. According to the dictionary, the strokes are intertwined horizontally, vertically and vertically, like a group of ink marks that are blurred together. It's really not like a word.
Fingers were accidentally injured by scissors many times.
When the sign was delivered to Zhou Yu, he looked at it carefully and carefully, with a disgusted expression on his face.Lin Man was very worried, and repeatedly explained: "You must keep it well, it is really useful."
But she never thought that Zhou Yu would keep it until now.
If you haven't heard that song,
Then move out the gold medal for avoiding death,
Your Royal Highness, spare my death,
Willing to be your best minister.

On Monday morning, Zhou Yu flipped through the book and found a ginkgo leaf inside.
He tilted his chair and leaned back against Lin Man's desk.Tilting her head back, she habitually lay her pillow on her exercise book, deliberately raising the book in her hand high.
The ginkgo leaves seemed to be inlaid in the gap between the two pages, but they did not fall off.
"I said why the book seems to be getting heavier today, but there are more leaves." He seemed to be talking to himself, but Lin Man heard every word.
She cleaned the scholarly avenue last Friday, and after listening to Mu Zhihe's explanation, she picked it up as a bookmark for Zhou Yu.
Lin Man couldn't hold back: "How many catties does the leaf weigh, are you tired?"
Zhou Yu explained: "What I mean is that courtesy is more important than affection."
Sometimes Lin Man really wanted to hit him on the head with a mallet.
"Morning, everyone," Qi Zishuai came to his seat, feeling elated, "A new week has begun again."
The happy scumbag never tires of studying.
The squad leader called out Lin Man's name: "It's your turn to be on duty today!"
There is always fighting and fighting in the classroom between classes.Lin Man was busy tidying up the podium, which was covered with a layer of chalk dust, and had to be washed and wiped again with a clean rag.Chalk box, chalk brush, pointer, triangular ruler, she arranged the messy things neatly.
In the last biology class, I talked about ATP, a high-energy phosphoric acid compound in the cell. The biology teacher who was close to 1.9 meters wrote the structural formula of this compound on the upper right corner of the blackboard. above.
Lin Man's arms were sore, and he was planning to move a stool for his feet.
Zhou Yu went to get water from the water dispenser, turned a ninety-degree turn, passed the podium in a very awkward way, and took the blackboard eraser from her hand.
Wipes up easily.
Lin Man was trapped between him and the blackboard.
Chalk dust fell down, like a light snowfall, and almost fell into Lin Man's eyes, so she quickly closed them.Zhou Yu's mocking voice sounded above his head: "Short."
He rested his chin on her head, as if measuring it, and then came to a conclusion: "Heavenly King Gedihu, the forest is 1.5 meters long."
Lin Man was about to refute when he heard him insult her height, which she had always been proud of, when Zhou Yu asked her, "Baota Zhenhe Yao, why don't you grow taller?"
Lin Man: "I..."
Among the girls in their class, she is really not short in altitude.
"Actually, it's enough." Seeing her aggrieved expression, Zhou Yu comforted her, "It's not enough for me."
Mu Zhihe came in through the back door with a few after-school tutoring books in her arms, and also two boxes of fruit that Mu Zhen had just stuffed over. She had a lot of things in her hands. The book is pulled forward.
A stack of textbooks piled high collapsed and scattered on the ground.
This time there was too much movement.
The victim Xu Dongxin, who was immersed in playing games, raised his head in shock, looked away from the mobile phone screen, scanned the empty desk in front of him, and looked at the perpetrator: "Did you do it?"
Mu Zhihe also seemed to be taken aback by the sudden accident.
When she saw the hostility and a hint of unkindness on the other person's face, and her attitude was not good, her first reaction was to ask, "What do you want?"
Xu Dongxin said, "Come here."
The atmosphere was stiff and solemn.
Many people noticed the small disturbance here, and Qi Zishuai, who had been watching the play in his seat, saw that the two seemed to be copying chairs to fight in the next second, and was going to be a peacemaker.
Xu Dongxin's tone slowed down, and he said to Mu Zhihe helplessly, "Come and pick up books."
Mu Zhihe put down the things in his arms and went to help, almost bumping his head against Xu Dongxin's.She kept silent, and her cheeks were a little blush, like the color of cherry blossoms.
The two quickly tidied up the scattered things, and neither of them said a word in the middle.
After Mu Zhihe left, Qi Zishuai ran over and asked Xu Dongxin: "It was such a good opportunity to strike up a conversation just now, why did you pretend to be cold?"
Xu Dongxin was also puzzled: "I wanted to have a good talk with her, but she seemed to be in a bad mood and didn't want to talk to her. She probably would be annoying if I tried to get close to her."
"Yo, yo," Qi Zishuai said with a sour tone, "Are you still afraid of being annoyed? Why weren't you afraid that I would be annoyed when you dragged me up to buy you stomach medicine last night?"
"You, just give me a beating."
"Students, it's class time, go back to your seats and sit down. We are all high school students, and I don't want to spend time repeating to you about discipline. People, you have to be conscious..." Guan Di walked in with the lesson plan between his hands. Come, stand on the podium, and find that the people in the classroom are as listless as the tree branches blown bare by the wind outside the window.
He tapped on the blackboard.
"I see it like this. When you come back from the holiday this week, you can buy some potted plants and decorate our classroom a little bit. The teacher in charge will feel more at ease."
"Okay, teacher."
The bottom promised readily.
As long as you don't mention studying, you will be excited again, and everyone will start discussing where to buy potted plants in low voices.
After class, Mu Zhihe came over to inform Lin Man: "Teacher Li Jie said that the art festival is getting closer and we don't have much time. From this week on, we will go to the art building to rehearse on weekends."
Lin Man nodded: "No problem." She lives in the teacher's apartment, so it was very convenient in the past.
"If you are rehearsing on weekends, when are you going to buy green plants?" She asked a lot.
Mu Zhihe didn't seem to have made up his mind yet, Lin Man said: "Why don't we go together after the rehearsal on Saturday? I know there is a flower and bird market in Caofangdu."
"Okay." Mu Zhihe has no problem.
Zhou Yu turned around at the front desk: "What time? Where do we meet? I'll go too."
Qi Zishuai yelled: "Boss! The agreed weekend double row! Are you going to abandon your dear teammate?"
Xu Dongxin said to Lin Man, "Add me."
Chen Song said: "I won't go to Internet cafes anymore, I will choose Flower and Bird Market."
Qi Zishuai looked bitterly at the teammates who turned their backs, and said cheerfully: "The game is not as fun as the Flower and Bird Market, Xiaoman, remember to take me with you!"
Lin Man: "..."
Classmate, you simply learned how to change your face.
03
The rehearsal lasted from Saturday morning to afternoon. After the dissolution, other students left. Lin Man waited for Mu Zhihe to lock the door of the storage room, and the two fell behind.
Zhou Yu and Xu Dongxin waited outside the building for less than 2 minutes, and went straight in to find someone.
"Hi, classmate Xiaoman—" Qi Zishuai's voice sounded first.
Lin Man asked them, "Have you waited long?"
"That's right, I stood outside for almost half an hour." Qi Zishuai said nonsense.
Xu Dongxin pushed his head away: "Don't listen to his nonsense, we just arrived." Seeing that the two of them could start to fight again.
Qi Zishuai dragged Chen Song over and hid behind him to seek shelter: "Ah Song, he bullied me."
Chen Song smiled: "I want to bully you with him."
Zhou Yu caught a cold, his white nose turned red, and he was rarely wrapped in a big scarf, covering the lower half of his face.Lin Man's attention was all on his side: "Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhou Yu's voice was hoarse: "I didn't sleep well last night, I caught a cold."
"Have you taken your medicine?" Lin Man asked.
Zhou Yu shook his head, he didn't like to take medicine: "It will be fine in two days."
After checking the doors and windows, Mu Zhihe put the keys back into the compartment of the schoolbag and locked the zipper: "You can go."
The six of them went out of the school gate to the bus stop, and there was no need to change buses on the way, but the distance to the flower and bird market was relatively far, conservatively estimated to be more than four to ten minutes.
There were not many people on the bus, and the back row was empty.
Qi Zishuai and Chen Song went ahead and took the opportunity to sit together.Then came Mu Zhihe and Lin Man. Lin Man just followed up and was about to sit down next to Mu Zhihe when Zhou Yu pulled his arms back to his side.
He told her deadpan and serious, "I'm sick."
"Oh."
He's sick, so please prioritize the sick.
She had to look at him, she had to sit next to him.
Xu Dongxin was still on the phone with his grandma, and he was at the end. He had two options left, to sit next to Mu Zhihe, or to choose a single seat by himself.At any rate, it was a friend who had eaten skewers at the Academic Affairs Office, so there was no need to be so pretentious, he chose the former.
Xu Dongxin changed his hand and held up the mobile phone. Grandma was still chanting, and he replied sentence by sentence: "Should I go home for dinner? I don't know. I'll see when the time comes."
"Don't pass by Dongjiekou, don't think about it, I won't bring you glutinous rice cakes, can you count how many good teeth are left in your mouth?"
"If I buy it for you, my dad will beat me."
"Don't lie to me, he will come back from the army tonight, my mother told me earlier."
"If your mouth is really itchy, go talk about cross talk. You've said it well. Everyone in the compound has to cheer for you..."
Xu Dongxin finally finished dealing with the old lady, hung up the phone, and found Mu Zhihe looking at him.
"What's wrong?" He rubbed his nose uncomfortably.
"You called your grandma?" she guessed.
"correct."
"Oh."
"Ah."
"..."
This awkward chat, I can't go on talking, it's too awkward.
Mu Zhihe turned her head to look at the passing scenery outside the window. Today's weather is fine, the bright winter sun shines through the window glass on her face, finger bones, and knees, enveloping her like a soft plain satin.
The edges of the long curly hair seem to be faintly blurred by the skylight.
Dye in a warm color.
The classmate Mu who seemed aloof was finally not so aloof.
Xu Dongxin wanted to ask her for a long time: "We met in Songshan Nursing Home before, do you remember?"
Mu Zhihe said "Yes": "I remember." The boy beside him suddenly showed his white teeth, and his flamboyant and dazzling smile could easily burn anyone's heart.
Announcement in the bus station: "The next stop is Qishuqiao, passengers who want to get off the bus, please get ready..."
Lin Man swiped his phone for a while, feeling uneasy, and frequently turned his head to peek.Zhou Yu, who had been leaning on the back of the chair and dozed off, opened his eyelids: "Why do you keep looking at me?" The voice came out from the scarf, muffled.
Lin Man said, "I'm worried that you have a fever."
She had never seen him look so sick, she didn't even think about it, she stretched out the back of her hand to feel the temperature of his forehead, it seemed to be a little hotter than her own.
"Go back and take two medicines."
Just as Lin Man's hand was about to retract, he held it down: "It's just sticking, it's comfortable."
Is this using her hands as ice packs?Lin Man didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "But I'm getting off the car soon."
"Hey, hey, the sky is bright in broad daylight, boss, you are playing a hooligan again!" Qi Zishuai and Chen Song jumped out from behind.Zhou Yu glanced at them, and the two quickly shut up, holding back smirks.
Everyone was about to get off the car, but Lin Man stood up but did not go forward. Zhou Yu turned around and saw her anxious face, and asked him for help: "The strap of the schoolbag is stuck."
Stuck in the gap between the two seats, she couldn't move at all.
Zhou Yu fell back, pulled it out somehow, and said, "You're so stupid."
"Who are you calling stupid?"
"You."
"You are stupid."
Inexplicably bickering, the boss is really naive sometimes.Lin Man suddenly said generously: "Forget it, you are a patient, I have to let you go."
After getting out of the car, they turned to the mobile phone map and navigated all the way for about [-] minutes before they saw a big signboard - Caofangdu Flower and Bird Market.
"If I don't, my leg will probably be useless." Qi Zishuai pretended to be delicate, and fell on Chen Song's shoulder.
Chen Song dragged such a big pendant forward: "I ran faster than anyone else when I went to the cafeteria to eat, why didn't I see you was useless at that time?"
"Brother, people are tough."
At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was blue and clear, and the sun was dazzling, making people drowsy.Feeling bored, Zhou Yu untied the scarf around his neck, and Lin Man offered to hold it for him.
"So active?" Zhou Yu was thoughtful, "There are many benefits for being sick."
Lin Man just went over to support him, and said earnestly, "You'd better take care of yourself."
From time to time, adults and children pass by, very lively and chattering.There were two large cardboard boxes on the first stall, with several layers of dry straw inside, and the little fluffy chickens crowded into a nest, which attracted little heads to squat in front of them to watch.
Next to it is a goldfish seller.There are a few small fish in a transparent plastic bag filled with water, hanging on a wooden frame by a thread, of different colors and species.When the sun shines, there is a kind of crystal clear loveliness.
Lin Man went over to ask the price, and the boss said it cost three pieces for ten yuan.
"Do you want to raise fish?" Zhou Yu asked.
"No." She thought about it or gave up, "I can't support you, so don't waste your life."
Zhou Yu recalled the experience when she was a child, the three fish that Lin Man raised in the glass tank were all killed overnight, which was the end of her unrestrained doting.Later, I bought a few more in disbelief, but the longest life was not more than a week, and I died suddenly for no reason.
As long as she raises fish, she will surely die.
Those little corpses were all dug by Zhou Yu and buried under a row of sweet-scented osmanthus trees.
Zhou Yu thought at the time that if she still wanted to set up a monument, each plaque should be written with Goldfish No. [-], Goldfish No. [-], Goldfish No. [-]...Goldfish No. N.
"Manman, let's stop raising fish, go plant sunflowers, you just need to stand in the middle of the field and sow seeds."
He resorted to a tactic of delaying the attack and lied to her that a sea of sunflowers would be planted in the coming year, so Lin Man gave up his plan to go to the fish shop every evening and instead went to a small vendor to buy flower seeds.
"You big liar." Lin Man thought it was funny even thinking about it now.
"What can I do if I don't lie to you."
As soon as you enter the door, the store full of goldfish trembles.
Qi Zishuai and Chen Song stopped in front of the birdcage in another store, and the old man at the door asked enthusiastically, "Which one do you like?"
"Just take a look, just take a look." Chen Song said, "Except for the parrot, I don't know anyone here."
The old man enthusiastically introduced to them: "Look at this, it's black and white, just like a miniature penguin. It has a very long tail, so you can recognize it at a glance. It's called Sixi Bird, and we call it Zhizha, Zhushizha. Pointing again, "This one looks plain, its feathers are dark in color, but it has a loud and pleasant voice. You can see that the circles around its eyes are white, and there are white eyebrows around each eye, extending back like a belt. That's what it's called. It’s called a thrush.”
"Acacia birds are the best sold in the store now. The male and female are inseparable together, and they are the most popular among customers..." The uncle tried his best to sell, "Young couples often come to buy, do you also consider it?"
Chen Song looked at Qi Zishuai.
Qi Zishuai looked at Chen Song.
The two waved their hands together: "No, no, no."
run away.
Going forward is the seller of crickets, which are packed in white plastic jars and placed all over the floor.The card standing next to it read crookedly: Guaranteed to be pure wild insects.
Those who gathered to watch were a group of elders, and Mu Zhihe standing inside with his schoolbag on his back was very eye-catching.
Xu Dongxin followed her, never expecting that a girl like her would be interested in these things.
It was later discovered that was not the case.
Mu Zhihe turned around and asked him, "Can you pick one for me?" She raised her head, facing the sun, and looked at him.Even if he wanted something from others, his expression seemed to carry subtle arrogance and a little bit of stubbornness, which reminded Xu Dongxin of the appearance of a white plum growing on the terrace at home blooming in the cold wind.
He had no choice but to promise her.
He stepped forward to help her choose, thinking, so she was afraid.
Large and small insects are densely packed, and it does seem to have a great visual impact.
"Will you buy it for the elderly at home?" Xu Dongxin asked, guessing what Mu Zhihe was thinking in one sentence, she didn't like it herself, so she must buy it as a gift.
"It's for Grandpa Qi." Mu Zhihe said, "You still remember, it was the one who talked about cross talk in the nursing home. The two of you chatted for a long time."
"He's not in good health, and he's even weaker this year." Mu Zhihe paused, "The doctor said that he might pass this year."
To say that the old man is leaving means that he is leaving this world.
Xu Dongxin chose a cricket and paid directly: "Have you always insisted on going to the nursing home?"
"I used to go there every week, but after boarding in high school, I went there about once a month. Grandpa Qi is my grandfather's friend. He has no children, and now he is alone."
"Call me next time you go, I'm idle anyway."
Mu Zhihe returned the money for buying crickets to Xu Dongxin, but the latter refused to accept it.She wanted to put the money in his hand, but when he raised his hand, she couldn't reach it at all.He was about to stuff it into his pocket again, but it was blocked. He smiled and teased: "How can you touch it casually with this hand? Pay attention to the influence, classmate."
One chases, one hides.Chen Song looked at it and exclaimed: "It's incredible, it's only been a long time, and the lonely men and widows have become one."
Qi Zishuai said: "I have already hooked up with you, but you are slow to react."
Chen Song said: "The two of them have fun, the boss and Xiaoman are childhood sweethearts, now it's just us two."
Qi Zishuai said: "Don't look at me, I don't want to buy acacia birds with you!"
"Who said I want to be with you!"
"Brothers," Qi Zishuai shouted, raising his hands, "do you still remember what business we have to do here?"
Everyone gathers here to buy green plants.
Six people walked in a row, full of momentum, especially the boys inside were tall.After passing by a hawker selling candied haws, each person holds a candied haws, and the painting style changes suddenly.
The murderous aura dropped sharply, a group of two-year-old boys.
Zhou Yu tore off the outer film, frowned at the thick layer of sugar coating, and handed it to Lin Man.
"Aren't you going to eat?"
Zhou Yu shook his head, feeling that it was too sweet and greasy.
Lin Man asked, "You really don't want to try it?"
Lowering the corners of his eyes, Zhou Yu glanced at the skewer she had already bitten into: "One is enough for the two of us, and you have one left for me."
"But I can't finish eating this bunch of yours. It's so sweet that I lose my teeth."
Zhou Yu didn't even think about it: "Throw it away."
Lin Man said, "Waste."
"Trouble." Zhou Yu took it from her hand again, turned around and walked to a chubby little boy, and gave him candied haws.
The little boy was confused, Zhou Yu said, "You helped grandma pick up apples just now, this is a reward."
The little boy opened his mouth wide, as if surprised how he knew, then blushed shyly, and said thank you in a low voice.
Lin Man was dumbfounded.
Zhou Yu said to her, "It's resolved."
"Why are you falling behind again!" Qi Zishuai and the others stopped and waited.
The stalls and shops with flowers, plants and green plants are concentrated at the back of the market. The fragrance of roses comes from the entrance of the flower shop, and the iron buckets are filled with large bunches of hydrangeas.At a glance, potted trees of different sizes have formed a small forest.
Lin Man discovered that there are many kinds of succulents on the ground, and suggested: "Why don't you just buy succulents? It doesn't take up space in the classroom, and it's easy to raise."
Everyone thinks it's okay.
Qi Zishuai is rebellious: "I don't, I want to buy lucky bamboo."
"How wonderful is the lucky bamboo. The flowers bloom rich and noble, and the bamboo promises peace and good luck. Bless me with good grades in my homework."
Xu Dongxin said: "If Laoguan heard it, he would definitely burst into tears on the spot." He asked Mu Zhihe, "What did you buy?"
Mu Zhihe fell in love with a succulent in a small porcelain pot. The boss was carrying things nearby, and said to her by the way: "This is called red juvenile lotus. It grows fast and is easy to raise. Just be careful, it will kill the whole plant if the temperature difference is large." turned red."
After they finished picking, Qi Zishuai was the only one holding ten lucky bamboos wrapped in newspaper in his arms.
Suddenly, "Cuckoo -" someone's stomach growled.
The voice came from the left, and all eyes were on the two girls standing on the left.Mu Zhihe held an iceberg beauty face: "It's not me."
Lin Man clutched his stomach, uncontrollably, and made two "cuckoos" again.
Lin Man's face burned.
The corners of Zhou Yu's mouth curled up, and he brushed the bangs on her forehead with his fingers: "Just now you told me that you can't finish eating two bunches of candied haws, you are too modest."
Qi Zishuai, Chen Song, and Xu Dongxin burst out laughing.
Lin Man hit Zhou Yu with an iron head, but Zhou Yu didn't dodge. He rested his palm on her head, watching her struggle in vain, and couldn't hit her with flailing hands.
Afraid of really annoying people, the boss said to everyone with a serious face: "Why are you laughing, don't laugh."
Mu Zhihe stood up and spoke: "We ate at the teacher's cafeteria with Teacher Li Jie at noon. There were too many people and the dishes were not ordered. I guess everyone was not full."
Lin Man nodded vigorously, thinking that Miss Xiao He was kind-hearted and would defend her.
Qi Zishuai looked at the digital watch, it was past four in the afternoon, and it would be time for dinner in an hour: "How about we find a place to eat?"
Everyone started chatting about where the barbecue is big, where the buffet is good, and where the small stir-fries are delicious, and finally they talked about eating hot pot.
I don't know how to turn it into cooking hot pot by myself.
In the end, it became to go to Zhou Yu's house to cook hot pot together.Because Zhou Yu's parents are away on business for a week and no one is at home now, secondly, everyone is curious about the big brother's house.
04
I went around the supermarket and bought all kinds of ingredients.There are two types of hot pot base ingredients, spicy and clear soup. Considering that it is difficult to adjust for everyone, I plan to cook two pots.
Washing and cutting vegetables each perform their own duties, and they all rolled up their sleeves, except Zhou Yu.
Lin Man pushed him out of the kitchen and pressed him on the soft sofa: "If you are not feeling well, take a good rest and wait to eat." He found the water dispenser and his cup, "Drink more boiled water."
Zhou Yu lowered his head and blew on the steaming water, and took a sip.
"Is it cold?" Lin Man asked worriedly, "Can you help me get a blanket?"
"Cold." Zhou Yu held the cup tightly with both hands, as if absorbing the temperature from it.
Lin Man went to the room to find a blanket in the direction he pointed, his back hurried like a rabbit in a hurry.
Several other people peeked through the glass of the kitchen, and saw her running around, busy up and down, serving the uncle on the sofa in various ways.
Qi Zishuai said, "The boss has changed."
Xu Dongxin said: "Do you remember when he caught a cold in the third year of junior high?"
Chen Song said: "He had a high fever, stayed with us all night in the Internet cafe, and the next day he was still alive and well, and even played a basketball game."
Qi Zishuai said: "Now that he has classmate Xiaoman hurting him, he will become Princess and the Pea."
Mu Zhihe asked: "Who will peel the garlic?"
Everyone gave up gossip and started busy again.
Lin Man wrapped Zhou Yu in a thin blanket, wrapped it into a ball, and tightly covered his chin.Then I went to help in the kitchen, sliced luncheon meat, carved shiitake mushrooms, cut tofu into cubes, and almost nothing happened.
It's just that Lin Man didn't expect that the chef was actually Chen Song. In addition to the hot pot, he also made a plate of cola chicken wings and fried meatballs.
The dishes and pots were quickly brought to the table, and each chose their side. Zhou Yu wanted to eat something light when he caught a cold, and Mu Zhihe didn't like spicy food. The others surrounded the spicy pot with a layer of red oil.
Lin Man tasted a chicken wing, and his taste buds were immediately conquered. Chen Song's cooking skills were even better than Qi Zishuai's.
Xu Dongxin said: "His parents don't like to cook, they often ask him to cook, practice makes perfect."
"No wonder."
Through the hot fog, Lin Man noticed that Zhou Yu didn't seem to move his chopsticks much, so he moved a seat next to him calmly: "Don't you have an appetite?"
"Yeah." A cold word with a nasal sound.
He scooped two pieces of bleak cabbage leaves from the clear soup and put them in a bowl, dipped them in the sauce, and stirred them idly with chopsticks, like a picky eater in kindergarten who refuses to eat well.
"You sit over and don't worry about me."
As soon as he mentioned it, Lin Man immediately realized that the spicy pot on the left was too lively, while the right was too deserted.
She said sincerely: "Let me eat with you and Zhihe. I also eat clear soup."
Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
Lin Man said: "It's better to be light, I'm afraid of getting angry and my mouth will foam."
Zhou Yu reluctantly accepted her rhetoric, put the piece of meat that Lin Man gave him into his mouth, and chewed it bit by bit.
Lin Man was finally relieved, and happily buried himself in eating. When picking up vegetables, he didn't forget to take care of the person next to him.
People who are sick seem to be extraordinarily arrogant.
After eating too much, they slumped on the chairs for a while, and a few people cleaned up the mess on the table, and then they left and went home.
Lin Man went back to Gong Xiaqiu's residence at school, and Mu Zhihe followed her along the way.The two walked for a while, Lin Man was absent-minded all the time, and suddenly stopped when passing by the pharmacy: "I have to go back."
Mu Zhihe didn't seem surprised, and only told her: "Be careful."
Lin Man went to the pharmacy to buy medicine, then returned the same way, his heart pounded against his chest as he ran violently, and the sound of his own heartbeat seemed to echo in his ears.
She had agreed with him before she left, take a bath, take medicine, and sleep.Don't play mobile phones anymore, don't play games anymore.
He agreed and said yes.
But even if it was unnecessary, I would only be reconciled after confirming it later.
After knocking on the door, there was a delay in answering.
Maybe already asleep?Lin Man thought, she turned and prepared to go back.
The door opened from the inside.
Zhou Yu just came out of the shower, with wet hair on his head, he was surprised to see her, and let her in sideways: "You didn't go with them?"
Lin Man said, "Have you taken your medicine?"
"I just searched again, and there is no medicine at home."
Lin Man was immediately glad that he had made an extra trip: "I bought you a few white and black pills. If you feel uncomfortable, take one and sleep under the blanket."
"Did you come here to deliver me medicine?"
"No." Subconsciously denied.
"Then why are you here?"
"You...your sofa is too soft to sit on enough, so I came here to experience it again."
"Feel it well." Zhou Yu laughed in a hoarse voice, found a hair dryer to dry his hair, and signaled Lin Man to come over to help, even with ready-made excuses, "I have a cold, my limbs are weak, and I have no energy."
I'm so weak that I can't even lift a hair dryer.
Lin Man exposed him to his face: "It's not like he's paralyzed."
The young man was still covered with steam from the bathroom, water droplets dripped down his soft black hair, and his thin lips curled into an arc.He told her about the past and turned over old accounts: "You were sick when you were young, how did I take care of you?"
Lin Manyi recalled that she poured hot water, twisted a towel, took her body temperature, and sat on the saddle. She didn't even have to write homework by herself.
He was more considerate than her own mother, Dai Han, and she seemed to be his own daughter.
Zhou Yu asked, "Where's your conscience? Was it eaten by a dog?"
— Unfilial.
Lin Man couldn't stand such a big hat being buckled down.
Originally, he didn't have much bottom line for him, but when he recalled the not-too-distant past, his heart softened into a puddle of mud.
She drove him back to the bedroom, covered the quilt, and helped him blow his hair.The whistling hot wind sent out, like an invisible wave passing through her fingers, and drifted to his shore in an instant.
I don't know how many times I put the back of my hand on my slightly hot forehead.
She poured boiled water, peeled off the pills, brought them to her mouth, and served her elderly father.
He was full of emotions: "This feeling is like raising a cow ten years ago. Ten years later, I finally learned to plow the land, and the land can finally grow crops."
Lin Man said, "What kind of broken metaphor is this?"
His face was immersed in the shadow cast by the bedside lamp, and a faint bitter taste remained in his mouth.He knew that his cold was not serious, but he felt drowsy in her low, gentle voice.The night is quiet, the moonlight outside the window reflects the shadows of pines and cypresses.
You can sink into it and sleep comfortably.
There was a light touch on the lips, and a small piece of milk sugar was inserted.
It's hard, but not cold. It melts when you put it in your mouth, with a hint of fragrance and sweetness.
I don't know how long she had warmed it in the palm of her hand before, even the sugar was warmed up, and she didn't give it to him until this second.
(End of this chapter)
Heavenly King Gedihu,
Pagoda Town River Demon
01
weekend.
Lin Man stayed in the house for a day, reading and writing homework, and went online to watch dramas when he was tired.There was no holiday this week in the third year of high school, Gong Xiaqiu only came back halfway to pick up something, and stayed there all day.
Wechat sent several messages.
"Xiao Man, if you don't know anything about physics, leave it blank. I'll tell you when I come back tonight."
"There are fruits and chocolates in the refrigerator, I bought them for you."
"If you don't want to cook, go to the cafeteria to eat, or I will help you cook and come back."
Seeing this, Lin Man quickly replied: "No need, no need, I've cooked dumplings just now, and I'm full." A "satisfied" emoji was carefully attached to the text.
Lin Man was always flattered by Gong Xiaqiu's attitude. She was busy with work and couldn't be meticulous, but she really cared about Lin Man.
Now the days are shorter and the nights are longer, and it is getting dark earlier and earlier.
Lin Man is a person who does not have a nightlife. After taking a shower, she comfortably nestled under the quilt to listen to the radio, and tuned to her favorite channel as usual.
"Hi everyone, it's 20:30 in the evening. The program you are listening to is "Xinshan Evening Chat". I am the host Lu Heng..."
Lin Man once talked about "Xinshan Evening Chat" with the people around her, and most of the girls accepted her Amway because the male host's voice was too crisp.
The classic song "Childhood" sounded: "Under the banyan tree by the pond, cicadas call for summer. On the swing by the playground, only butterflies rest on it, and the teacher's chalk on the blackboard..."
"You must have guessed it. Our theme today is 'Childhood'. Let's talk about childhood stories and those memories that have passed away, but you still remember and treasure them all the time."
People kept calling the radio hotline and chatting with the host about interesting things that happened in their childhood.
"When I was young, I once stood in the yard with a bowl. I was afraid that the rooster in front of me would snatch the food from me. I swallowed the whole mouthful, but the rooster jumped up and pecked at my mouth. My sister, my own sister, was laughing beside me. Rolling down the steps, I got a big bump on my head..."
"When I was in the second grade, I performed sketches on stage, and my mother sculpted me. Yesterday I found an old photo, and I saw a fool in it, with skyrockets all over his head, all tied with colorful rubber bands. Will admit that idiot is me..."
"The six of us lived close together and played together when we were young. Once we went to steal watermelons from the field near our house, and one of them was caught by an adult. He was struggling and shouting, Gou Zi Da Zhu Xiao Qiang Duck Egg Hen Come on Save me, he has exposed all of us survivors after his account. When I go back that night, my mother will have a meal of fried pork on bamboo boards..."
The host smiled and chatted with him: "Now you have exposed the five of you in public once again, Gou Zi Da Zhu Xiao Qiang Duck Egg Hen, which one are you?"
"I'm a duck's egg, because I don't study well, and I often take the duck's egg test."
There are also those who take the path of injury.
"When I was in elementary school, I was not very popular. I was almost isolated by the whole class. Even the teacher didn't like me. Only she was willing to clean up and be in the same group as me. We gradually became good friends who talked about everything. But suddenly one day she transferred to another school and left. I only found out about it when I heard from the class teacher. I didn’t believe it at first. I sat in her seat and cried for a long time that day. I thought to myself, so she hates me too... ..."
Lin Man leaned against the pillow.
All kinds of people are sharing their childhood.
Time passed unknowingly. At the end of the show, the host said: "This year there is a special audience friend who asked me to convey my apology to a girl. That girl grew up with him and became a part of his life. , but yesterday he made her angry..."
"He recorded a song for this girl, "Youth Jin Shi".
Immediately, Lin Man heard the faint and hoarse tone unique to the young man, which came slowly.
It's Zhou Yu.
"Back to May at the end of spring, there are not many people in the market in the early morning, children are singing songs in front of the door, the sun warms the river, the catkins are blowing in the strong wind, and people under the shadow of the trees are falling asleep..."
Lin Man sank into the warm and soft quilt, imagining Zhou Yu singing.
It's a pity I couldn't see it with my own eyes.
Later, the singing stopped, and the accompaniment gradually became weaker. Everyone who listened to "Xinshan Evening Talk" that night suffered a critical blow. The half-powerful half-wrapped words sounded after the last note completely disappeared:
"If you listen to the whole song, you can't be mad at me anymore."
The words echoed clearly in Lin Man's ears.
Lin Man lifted the quilt and got in. The air was thin and his face was flushed.
The phone next to the pillow vibrated, she picked it up and looked, the screen showed that the caller was Zhou Yu.She pressed the answer button almost in a hurry, and her voice was still unsteady: "Hello?"
"Lin Man, have you finished listening?" Zhou Yu asked the first sentence.
"Listen... I've finished listening."
"Are you not angry?"
Lin Man shook his head under the quilt, thinking that he couldn't see it at all, and said, "Yes." He was no longer angry.
Zhou Yu was satisfied: "You go downstairs."
Lin Man was puzzled.
Suddenly understanding, she ran out of bed and opened the window, and the wind poured in head-on.Lin Man poked his head out, and the people under the street lamps also looked up at her at the same time. Above their heads, the sky was full of bright stars.
"Going downstairs? I'll wait for you." Zhou Yu asked.
Lin Man held the phone, his cheeks were flushed, and the heat never faded: "Okay."
She looked down at the cartoon pajamas on her body, pulled out a huge padded jacket from the closet that could hold two of her, and wrapped herself tightly.This dress should have been bought by Lin Hongchuan, and it obviously didn't fit.
Zhou Yu looked at the man who came down from the corridor with his hands and feet bound. He was unable to move, like a stupid penguin.
As soon as he pushed with his finger, she was probably about to fall.
"Are you planning to go to Antarctica for the winter?" Zhou Yu had a smile on his face.
Lin Man didn't lie, and told him solemnly: "The pajamas are too naive, I'm afraid you will laugh at me, but I feel cold after changing them, so I just hide them with a big jacket."
"You're pretty smart."
"Of course, if you are close to Zhu Zhechi, the influence of the environment on people is subtle." Incidentally, he also praised him.
"After that, don't stay too far away from me, or you will become stupid."
She raised her foot and kicked his heel.
"Come out for a walk with me?" Zhou Yu suggested.
Lin Man hesitated. There was only one hour left before the senior year's evening self-study, and Gong Xiaqiu should be back by then.
"Only an hour." She discussed with him.
"Okay." Zhou Yu understood her concerns and promised, "I'll take you back on time."
When Zhou Yu said walk, he took people directly to the Tiyi Building.He was familiar with the way and went through the window, opened the locked door from the inside, and let Lin Man in.
At night, the whole building is silent and empty, filled with deep darkness.
The sound of footsteps one after the other was clear to the ear, and only the light from Zhou Yu's cell phone was in front of his eyes. Lin Man felt a little nervous as he followed behind. He climbed his fingers to the corner of his clothes and asked under his breath, "What are we doing here?"
"You'll find out later."
Zhou Yu slowed down and walked alongside her.The hand shrank back into the sleeve, and suddenly it lay under Lin Man's nose.
"Take it," he said.
Lin Man was startled for a moment, and slowly took his hand through the thin layer of fabric on the sleeve.
Holding it firmly, the temperature belonging to his palm came.
Go inside again, pass through the side door, and find a hidden narrow stairway on the long corridor.
Go up layer by layer.Lin Man didn't know which places she passed in the middle, the darkness blocked her sight.And Zhou Yu is obviously very familiar with this place, leading her calmly all the time.
Finally, the old wooden door that seemed to be embedded in the wall was pushed open, and with a "squeak", the line of sight suddenly became clear, and the whole Xinshan No. [-] Middle School could be seen in full view.
They reached the top floor of the Tiyi Building.
It will be at the top of Lingling, and you can see all the small mountains at a glance, and the scenery on top is particularly good.
But there is another saying, the heights are too cold.
The two of them sat shoulder to shoulder on the concrete pipe. The distant starry sky in the night was really beautiful, and the cold wind was blowing against our faces, which was also really cold.Lin Man looked at the stars and looked at Zhou Yu, wearing a T-shirt and a loose sweater.
At present, she was still worried and asked the young man, "Are you anti-freeze?"
Zhou Yu: "..."
The hand that was held across the sleeve was still not loose.
"You must not catch a cold. If you catch a cold, no one will give me lectures, no one will copy my homework, and there will be one less cleaning person, and..."
With a smile on the corner of Zhou Yu's mouth, he approached, and the slightly sunken pear nest appeared on one cheek again: "What else?"
Lin Man couldn't move his eyes, and exhaled a wisp of white mist from his mouth: "Also, you will not feel well at that time, and you must have a bad temper. As your back desk, I have to worry about it again."
Embarrassed by his stare, she stood up abruptly.
"I feel a little hot, I should wear pajamas." She said, taking off her clumsy big jacket and putting it on for Zhou Yu.
Then, she realized that the fluffy pink rabbit pajamas she was wearing were completely exposed to the air.Before she could react, Zhou Yu hugged her into her arms: "This way, it won't be cold anymore."
He was wearing her padded jacket, and he was wrapping her around.
The clothes changed from long to short on him.
The world of two people is crowded and warm.
Countless stars twinkle overhead, singing the hymn of the night.The moon sleeps in the pond, swaying in the water waves with the reflection of the streamer on the shore.
Five minutes before the evening self-study in the third year of high school, Zhou Yu sent Lin Man back.Walking downstairs, Lin Man finally couldn't help asking him: "How do you know that I will definitely listen to the radio today, what if I didn't hear your "Youth Jinshi"?"
The clear light of the cold moon fell into his eyes, he raised his eyebrows, with his usual casual attitude: "That's fine."
Lin Man pouted and said goodbye to him.
Finally, she turned back and told him: "I forgot to say, you sing really well."
This kind of serious praise makes people's ears warm.Zhou Yu saw her trotting upstairs, her back disappeared, and soon, a light came on in the room on the second floor.
The sudden ringing of the bell broke the silence.
Noisy voices came, and the third year of high school was over.
Sitting by the bed, Lin Man felt something strange and hard in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was a small wooden sign.The color is old, like it has been placed for a long time.
There are traces carved with scissors on it, and the words "gold medal for avoiding death" can barely be recognized.
That was a distant memory.
"This gold medal for avoiding death is for you. If you make a mistake in the future, as long as you take it out, you will be fine. It can save your life." Xiao Linman learned the routine from TV dramas.
It was very popular at that time, and children loved to play it.
I don’t know where Lin Man picked up the wood. It is especially difficult to carve characters. The word “Pai” is complicated. According to the dictionary, the strokes are intertwined horizontally, vertically and vertically, like a group of ink marks that are blurred together. It's really not like a word.
Fingers were accidentally injured by scissors many times.
When the sign was delivered to Zhou Yu, he looked at it carefully and carefully, with a disgusted expression on his face.Lin Man was very worried, and repeatedly explained: "You must keep it well, it is really useful."
But she never thought that Zhou Yu would keep it until now.
If you haven't heard that song,
Then move out the gold medal for avoiding death,
Your Royal Highness, spare my death,
Willing to be your best minister.
02
On Monday morning, Zhou Yu flipped through the book and found a ginkgo leaf inside.
He tilted his chair and leaned back against Lin Man's desk.Tilting her head back, she habitually lay her pillow on her exercise book, deliberately raising the book in her hand high.
The ginkgo leaves seemed to be inlaid in the gap between the two pages, but they did not fall off.
"I said why the book seems to be getting heavier today, but there are more leaves." He seemed to be talking to himself, but Lin Man heard every word.
She cleaned the scholarly avenue last Friday, and after listening to Mu Zhihe's explanation, she picked it up as a bookmark for Zhou Yu.
Lin Man couldn't hold back: "How many catties does the leaf weigh, are you tired?"
Zhou Yu explained: "What I mean is that courtesy is more important than affection."
Sometimes Lin Man really wanted to hit him on the head with a mallet.
"Morning, everyone," Qi Zishuai came to his seat, feeling elated, "A new week has begun again."
The happy scumbag never tires of studying.
The squad leader called out Lin Man's name: "It's your turn to be on duty today!"
There is always fighting and fighting in the classroom between classes.Lin Man was busy tidying up the podium, which was covered with a layer of chalk dust, and had to be washed and wiped again with a clean rag.Chalk box, chalk brush, pointer, triangular ruler, she arranged the messy things neatly.
In the last biology class, I talked about ATP, a high-energy phosphoric acid compound in the cell. The biology teacher who was close to 1.9 meters wrote the structural formula of this compound on the upper right corner of the blackboard. above.
Lin Man's arms were sore, and he was planning to move a stool for his feet.
Zhou Yu went to get water from the water dispenser, turned a ninety-degree turn, passed the podium in a very awkward way, and took the blackboard eraser from her hand.
Wipes up easily.
Lin Man was trapped between him and the blackboard.
Chalk dust fell down, like a light snowfall, and almost fell into Lin Man's eyes, so she quickly closed them.Zhou Yu's mocking voice sounded above his head: "Short."
He rested his chin on her head, as if measuring it, and then came to a conclusion: "Heavenly King Gedihu, the forest is 1.5 meters long."
Lin Man was about to refute when he heard him insult her height, which she had always been proud of, when Zhou Yu asked her, "Baota Zhenhe Yao, why don't you grow taller?"
Lin Man: "I..."
Among the girls in their class, she is really not short in altitude.
"Actually, it's enough." Seeing her aggrieved expression, Zhou Yu comforted her, "It's not enough for me."
Mu Zhihe came in through the back door with a few after-school tutoring books in her arms, and also two boxes of fruit that Mu Zhen had just stuffed over. She had a lot of things in her hands. The book is pulled forward.
A stack of textbooks piled high collapsed and scattered on the ground.
This time there was too much movement.
The victim Xu Dongxin, who was immersed in playing games, raised his head in shock, looked away from the mobile phone screen, scanned the empty desk in front of him, and looked at the perpetrator: "Did you do it?"
Mu Zhihe also seemed to be taken aback by the sudden accident.
When she saw the hostility and a hint of unkindness on the other person's face, and her attitude was not good, her first reaction was to ask, "What do you want?"
Xu Dongxin said, "Come here."
The atmosphere was stiff and solemn.
Many people noticed the small disturbance here, and Qi Zishuai, who had been watching the play in his seat, saw that the two seemed to be copying chairs to fight in the next second, and was going to be a peacemaker.
Xu Dongxin's tone slowed down, and he said to Mu Zhihe helplessly, "Come and pick up books."
Mu Zhihe put down the things in his arms and went to help, almost bumping his head against Xu Dongxin's.She kept silent, and her cheeks were a little blush, like the color of cherry blossoms.
The two quickly tidied up the scattered things, and neither of them said a word in the middle.
After Mu Zhihe left, Qi Zishuai ran over and asked Xu Dongxin: "It was such a good opportunity to strike up a conversation just now, why did you pretend to be cold?"
Xu Dongxin was also puzzled: "I wanted to have a good talk with her, but she seemed to be in a bad mood and didn't want to talk to her. She probably would be annoying if I tried to get close to her."
"Yo, yo," Qi Zishuai said with a sour tone, "Are you still afraid of being annoyed? Why weren't you afraid that I would be annoyed when you dragged me up to buy you stomach medicine last night?"
"You, just give me a beating."
"Students, it's class time, go back to your seats and sit down. We are all high school students, and I don't want to spend time repeating to you about discipline. People, you have to be conscious..." Guan Di walked in with the lesson plan between his hands. Come, stand on the podium, and find that the people in the classroom are as listless as the tree branches blown bare by the wind outside the window.
He tapped on the blackboard.
"I see it like this. When you come back from the holiday this week, you can buy some potted plants and decorate our classroom a little bit. The teacher in charge will feel more at ease."
"Okay, teacher."
The bottom promised readily.
As long as you don't mention studying, you will be excited again, and everyone will start discussing where to buy potted plants in low voices.
After class, Mu Zhihe came over to inform Lin Man: "Teacher Li Jie said that the art festival is getting closer and we don't have much time. From this week on, we will go to the art building to rehearse on weekends."
Lin Man nodded: "No problem." She lives in the teacher's apartment, so it was very convenient in the past.
"If you are rehearsing on weekends, when are you going to buy green plants?" She asked a lot.
Mu Zhihe didn't seem to have made up his mind yet, Lin Man said: "Why don't we go together after the rehearsal on Saturday? I know there is a flower and bird market in Caofangdu."
"Okay." Mu Zhihe has no problem.
Zhou Yu turned around at the front desk: "What time? Where do we meet? I'll go too."
Qi Zishuai yelled: "Boss! The agreed weekend double row! Are you going to abandon your dear teammate?"
Xu Dongxin said to Lin Man, "Add me."
Chen Song said: "I won't go to Internet cafes anymore, I will choose Flower and Bird Market."
Qi Zishuai looked bitterly at the teammates who turned their backs, and said cheerfully: "The game is not as fun as the Flower and Bird Market, Xiaoman, remember to take me with you!"
Lin Man: "..."
Classmate, you simply learned how to change your face.
03
The rehearsal lasted from Saturday morning to afternoon. After the dissolution, other students left. Lin Man waited for Mu Zhihe to lock the door of the storage room, and the two fell behind.
Zhou Yu and Xu Dongxin waited outside the building for less than 2 minutes, and went straight in to find someone.
"Hi, classmate Xiaoman—" Qi Zishuai's voice sounded first.
Lin Man asked them, "Have you waited long?"
"That's right, I stood outside for almost half an hour." Qi Zishuai said nonsense.
Xu Dongxin pushed his head away: "Don't listen to his nonsense, we just arrived." Seeing that the two of them could start to fight again.
Qi Zishuai dragged Chen Song over and hid behind him to seek shelter: "Ah Song, he bullied me."
Chen Song smiled: "I want to bully you with him."
Zhou Yu caught a cold, his white nose turned red, and he was rarely wrapped in a big scarf, covering the lower half of his face.Lin Man's attention was all on his side: "Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhou Yu's voice was hoarse: "I didn't sleep well last night, I caught a cold."
"Have you taken your medicine?" Lin Man asked.
Zhou Yu shook his head, he didn't like to take medicine: "It will be fine in two days."
After checking the doors and windows, Mu Zhihe put the keys back into the compartment of the schoolbag and locked the zipper: "You can go."
The six of them went out of the school gate to the bus stop, and there was no need to change buses on the way, but the distance to the flower and bird market was relatively far, conservatively estimated to be more than four to ten minutes.
There were not many people on the bus, and the back row was empty.
Qi Zishuai and Chen Song went ahead and took the opportunity to sit together.Then came Mu Zhihe and Lin Man. Lin Man just followed up and was about to sit down next to Mu Zhihe when Zhou Yu pulled his arms back to his side.
He told her deadpan and serious, "I'm sick."
"Oh."
He's sick, so please prioritize the sick.
She had to look at him, she had to sit next to him.
Xu Dongxin was still on the phone with his grandma, and he was at the end. He had two options left, to sit next to Mu Zhihe, or to choose a single seat by himself.At any rate, it was a friend who had eaten skewers at the Academic Affairs Office, so there was no need to be so pretentious, he chose the former.
Xu Dongxin changed his hand and held up the mobile phone. Grandma was still chanting, and he replied sentence by sentence: "Should I go home for dinner? I don't know. I'll see when the time comes."
"Don't pass by Dongjiekou, don't think about it, I won't bring you glutinous rice cakes, can you count how many good teeth are left in your mouth?"
"If I buy it for you, my dad will beat me."
"Don't lie to me, he will come back from the army tonight, my mother told me earlier."
"If your mouth is really itchy, go talk about cross talk. You've said it well. Everyone in the compound has to cheer for you..."
Xu Dongxin finally finished dealing with the old lady, hung up the phone, and found Mu Zhihe looking at him.
"What's wrong?" He rubbed his nose uncomfortably.
"You called your grandma?" she guessed.
"correct."
"Oh."
"Ah."
"..."
This awkward chat, I can't go on talking, it's too awkward.
Mu Zhihe turned her head to look at the passing scenery outside the window. Today's weather is fine, the bright winter sun shines through the window glass on her face, finger bones, and knees, enveloping her like a soft plain satin.
The edges of the long curly hair seem to be faintly blurred by the skylight.
Dye in a warm color.
The classmate Mu who seemed aloof was finally not so aloof.
Xu Dongxin wanted to ask her for a long time: "We met in Songshan Nursing Home before, do you remember?"
Mu Zhihe said "Yes": "I remember." The boy beside him suddenly showed his white teeth, and his flamboyant and dazzling smile could easily burn anyone's heart.
Announcement in the bus station: "The next stop is Qishuqiao, passengers who want to get off the bus, please get ready..."
Lin Man swiped his phone for a while, feeling uneasy, and frequently turned his head to peek.Zhou Yu, who had been leaning on the back of the chair and dozed off, opened his eyelids: "Why do you keep looking at me?" The voice came out from the scarf, muffled.
Lin Man said, "I'm worried that you have a fever."
She had never seen him look so sick, she didn't even think about it, she stretched out the back of her hand to feel the temperature of his forehead, it seemed to be a little hotter than her own.
"Go back and take two medicines."
Just as Lin Man's hand was about to retract, he held it down: "It's just sticking, it's comfortable."
Is this using her hands as ice packs?Lin Man didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "But I'm getting off the car soon."
"Hey, hey, the sky is bright in broad daylight, boss, you are playing a hooligan again!" Qi Zishuai and Chen Song jumped out from behind.Zhou Yu glanced at them, and the two quickly shut up, holding back smirks.
Everyone was about to get off the car, but Lin Man stood up but did not go forward. Zhou Yu turned around and saw her anxious face, and asked him for help: "The strap of the schoolbag is stuck."
Stuck in the gap between the two seats, she couldn't move at all.
Zhou Yu fell back, pulled it out somehow, and said, "You're so stupid."
"Who are you calling stupid?"
"You."
"You are stupid."
Inexplicably bickering, the boss is really naive sometimes.Lin Man suddenly said generously: "Forget it, you are a patient, I have to let you go."
After getting out of the car, they turned to the mobile phone map and navigated all the way for about [-] minutes before they saw a big signboard - Caofangdu Flower and Bird Market.
"If I don't, my leg will probably be useless." Qi Zishuai pretended to be delicate, and fell on Chen Song's shoulder.
Chen Song dragged such a big pendant forward: "I ran faster than anyone else when I went to the cafeteria to eat, why didn't I see you was useless at that time?"
"Brother, people are tough."
At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was blue and clear, and the sun was dazzling, making people drowsy.Feeling bored, Zhou Yu untied the scarf around his neck, and Lin Man offered to hold it for him.
"So active?" Zhou Yu was thoughtful, "There are many benefits for being sick."
Lin Man just went over to support him, and said earnestly, "You'd better take care of yourself."
From time to time, adults and children pass by, very lively and chattering.There were two large cardboard boxes on the first stall, with several layers of dry straw inside, and the little fluffy chickens crowded into a nest, which attracted little heads to squat in front of them to watch.
Next to it is a goldfish seller.There are a few small fish in a transparent plastic bag filled with water, hanging on a wooden frame by a thread, of different colors and species.When the sun shines, there is a kind of crystal clear loveliness.
Lin Man went over to ask the price, and the boss said it cost three pieces for ten yuan.
"Do you want to raise fish?" Zhou Yu asked.
"No." She thought about it or gave up, "I can't support you, so don't waste your life."
Zhou Yu recalled the experience when she was a child, the three fish that Lin Man raised in the glass tank were all killed overnight, which was the end of her unrestrained doting.Later, I bought a few more in disbelief, but the longest life was not more than a week, and I died suddenly for no reason.
As long as she raises fish, she will surely die.
Those little corpses were all dug by Zhou Yu and buried under a row of sweet-scented osmanthus trees.
Zhou Yu thought at the time that if she still wanted to set up a monument, each plaque should be written with Goldfish No. [-], Goldfish No. [-], Goldfish No. [-]...Goldfish No. N.
"Manman, let's stop raising fish, go plant sunflowers, you just need to stand in the middle of the field and sow seeds."
He resorted to a tactic of delaying the attack and lied to her that a sea of sunflowers would be planted in the coming year, so Lin Man gave up his plan to go to the fish shop every evening and instead went to a small vendor to buy flower seeds.
"You big liar." Lin Man thought it was funny even thinking about it now.
"What can I do if I don't lie to you."
As soon as you enter the door, the store full of goldfish trembles.
Qi Zishuai and Chen Song stopped in front of the birdcage in another store, and the old man at the door asked enthusiastically, "Which one do you like?"
"Just take a look, just take a look." Chen Song said, "Except for the parrot, I don't know anyone here."
The old man enthusiastically introduced to them: "Look at this, it's black and white, just like a miniature penguin. It has a very long tail, so you can recognize it at a glance. It's called Sixi Bird, and we call it Zhizha, Zhushizha. Pointing again, "This one looks plain, its feathers are dark in color, but it has a loud and pleasant voice. You can see that the circles around its eyes are white, and there are white eyebrows around each eye, extending back like a belt. That's what it's called. It’s called a thrush.”
"Acacia birds are the best sold in the store now. The male and female are inseparable together, and they are the most popular among customers..." The uncle tried his best to sell, "Young couples often come to buy, do you also consider it?"
Chen Song looked at Qi Zishuai.
Qi Zishuai looked at Chen Song.
The two waved their hands together: "No, no, no."
run away.
Going forward is the seller of crickets, which are packed in white plastic jars and placed all over the floor.The card standing next to it read crookedly: Guaranteed to be pure wild insects.
Those who gathered to watch were a group of elders, and Mu Zhihe standing inside with his schoolbag on his back was very eye-catching.
Xu Dongxin followed her, never expecting that a girl like her would be interested in these things.
It was later discovered that was not the case.
Mu Zhihe turned around and asked him, "Can you pick one for me?" She raised her head, facing the sun, and looked at him.Even if he wanted something from others, his expression seemed to carry subtle arrogance and a little bit of stubbornness, which reminded Xu Dongxin of the appearance of a white plum growing on the terrace at home blooming in the cold wind.
He had no choice but to promise her.
He stepped forward to help her choose, thinking, so she was afraid.
Large and small insects are densely packed, and it does seem to have a great visual impact.
"Will you buy it for the elderly at home?" Xu Dongxin asked, guessing what Mu Zhihe was thinking in one sentence, she didn't like it herself, so she must buy it as a gift.
"It's for Grandpa Qi." Mu Zhihe said, "You still remember, it was the one who talked about cross talk in the nursing home. The two of you chatted for a long time."
"He's not in good health, and he's even weaker this year." Mu Zhihe paused, "The doctor said that he might pass this year."
To say that the old man is leaving means that he is leaving this world.
Xu Dongxin chose a cricket and paid directly: "Have you always insisted on going to the nursing home?"
"I used to go there every week, but after boarding in high school, I went there about once a month. Grandpa Qi is my grandfather's friend. He has no children, and now he is alone."
"Call me next time you go, I'm idle anyway."
Mu Zhihe returned the money for buying crickets to Xu Dongxin, but the latter refused to accept it.She wanted to put the money in his hand, but when he raised his hand, she couldn't reach it at all.He was about to stuff it into his pocket again, but it was blocked. He smiled and teased: "How can you touch it casually with this hand? Pay attention to the influence, classmate."
One chases, one hides.Chen Song looked at it and exclaimed: "It's incredible, it's only been a long time, and the lonely men and widows have become one."
Qi Zishuai said: "I have already hooked up with you, but you are slow to react."
Chen Song said: "The two of them have fun, the boss and Xiaoman are childhood sweethearts, now it's just us two."
Qi Zishuai said: "Don't look at me, I don't want to buy acacia birds with you!"
"Who said I want to be with you!"
"Brothers," Qi Zishuai shouted, raising his hands, "do you still remember what business we have to do here?"
Everyone gathers here to buy green plants.
Six people walked in a row, full of momentum, especially the boys inside were tall.After passing by a hawker selling candied haws, each person holds a candied haws, and the painting style changes suddenly.
The murderous aura dropped sharply, a group of two-year-old boys.
Zhou Yu tore off the outer film, frowned at the thick layer of sugar coating, and handed it to Lin Man.
"Aren't you going to eat?"
Zhou Yu shook his head, feeling that it was too sweet and greasy.
Lin Man asked, "You really don't want to try it?"
Lowering the corners of his eyes, Zhou Yu glanced at the skewer she had already bitten into: "One is enough for the two of us, and you have one left for me."
"But I can't finish eating this bunch of yours. It's so sweet that I lose my teeth."
Zhou Yu didn't even think about it: "Throw it away."
Lin Man said, "Waste."
"Trouble." Zhou Yu took it from her hand again, turned around and walked to a chubby little boy, and gave him candied haws.
The little boy was confused, Zhou Yu said, "You helped grandma pick up apples just now, this is a reward."
The little boy opened his mouth wide, as if surprised how he knew, then blushed shyly, and said thank you in a low voice.
Lin Man was dumbfounded.
Zhou Yu said to her, "It's resolved."
"Why are you falling behind again!" Qi Zishuai and the others stopped and waited.
The stalls and shops with flowers, plants and green plants are concentrated at the back of the market. The fragrance of roses comes from the entrance of the flower shop, and the iron buckets are filled with large bunches of hydrangeas.At a glance, potted trees of different sizes have formed a small forest.
Lin Man discovered that there are many kinds of succulents on the ground, and suggested: "Why don't you just buy succulents? It doesn't take up space in the classroom, and it's easy to raise."
Everyone thinks it's okay.
Qi Zishuai is rebellious: "I don't, I want to buy lucky bamboo."
"How wonderful is the lucky bamboo. The flowers bloom rich and noble, and the bamboo promises peace and good luck. Bless me with good grades in my homework."
Xu Dongxin said: "If Laoguan heard it, he would definitely burst into tears on the spot." He asked Mu Zhihe, "What did you buy?"
Mu Zhihe fell in love with a succulent in a small porcelain pot. The boss was carrying things nearby, and said to her by the way: "This is called red juvenile lotus. It grows fast and is easy to raise. Just be careful, it will kill the whole plant if the temperature difference is large." turned red."
After they finished picking, Qi Zishuai was the only one holding ten lucky bamboos wrapped in newspaper in his arms.
Suddenly, "Cuckoo -" someone's stomach growled.
The voice came from the left, and all eyes were on the two girls standing on the left.Mu Zhihe held an iceberg beauty face: "It's not me."
Lin Man clutched his stomach, uncontrollably, and made two "cuckoos" again.
Lin Man's face burned.
The corners of Zhou Yu's mouth curled up, and he brushed the bangs on her forehead with his fingers: "Just now you told me that you can't finish eating two bunches of candied haws, you are too modest."
Qi Zishuai, Chen Song, and Xu Dongxin burst out laughing.
Lin Man hit Zhou Yu with an iron head, but Zhou Yu didn't dodge. He rested his palm on her head, watching her struggle in vain, and couldn't hit her with flailing hands.
Afraid of really annoying people, the boss said to everyone with a serious face: "Why are you laughing, don't laugh."
Mu Zhihe stood up and spoke: "We ate at the teacher's cafeteria with Teacher Li Jie at noon. There were too many people and the dishes were not ordered. I guess everyone was not full."
Lin Man nodded vigorously, thinking that Miss Xiao He was kind-hearted and would defend her.
Qi Zishuai looked at the digital watch, it was past four in the afternoon, and it would be time for dinner in an hour: "How about we find a place to eat?"
Everyone started chatting about where the barbecue is big, where the buffet is good, and where the small stir-fries are delicious, and finally they talked about eating hot pot.
I don't know how to turn it into cooking hot pot by myself.
In the end, it became to go to Zhou Yu's house to cook hot pot together.Because Zhou Yu's parents are away on business for a week and no one is at home now, secondly, everyone is curious about the big brother's house.
04
I went around the supermarket and bought all kinds of ingredients.There are two types of hot pot base ingredients, spicy and clear soup. Considering that it is difficult to adjust for everyone, I plan to cook two pots.
Washing and cutting vegetables each perform their own duties, and they all rolled up their sleeves, except Zhou Yu.
Lin Man pushed him out of the kitchen and pressed him on the soft sofa: "If you are not feeling well, take a good rest and wait to eat." He found the water dispenser and his cup, "Drink more boiled water."
Zhou Yu lowered his head and blew on the steaming water, and took a sip.
"Is it cold?" Lin Man asked worriedly, "Can you help me get a blanket?"
"Cold." Zhou Yu held the cup tightly with both hands, as if absorbing the temperature from it.
Lin Man went to the room to find a blanket in the direction he pointed, his back hurried like a rabbit in a hurry.
Several other people peeked through the glass of the kitchen, and saw her running around, busy up and down, serving the uncle on the sofa in various ways.
Qi Zishuai said, "The boss has changed."
Xu Dongxin said: "Do you remember when he caught a cold in the third year of junior high?"
Chen Song said: "He had a high fever, stayed with us all night in the Internet cafe, and the next day he was still alive and well, and even played a basketball game."
Qi Zishuai said: "Now that he has classmate Xiaoman hurting him, he will become Princess and the Pea."
Mu Zhihe asked: "Who will peel the garlic?"
Everyone gave up gossip and started busy again.
Lin Man wrapped Zhou Yu in a thin blanket, wrapped it into a ball, and tightly covered his chin.Then I went to help in the kitchen, sliced luncheon meat, carved shiitake mushrooms, cut tofu into cubes, and almost nothing happened.
It's just that Lin Man didn't expect that the chef was actually Chen Song. In addition to the hot pot, he also made a plate of cola chicken wings and fried meatballs.
The dishes and pots were quickly brought to the table, and each chose their side. Zhou Yu wanted to eat something light when he caught a cold, and Mu Zhihe didn't like spicy food. The others surrounded the spicy pot with a layer of red oil.
Lin Man tasted a chicken wing, and his taste buds were immediately conquered. Chen Song's cooking skills were even better than Qi Zishuai's.
Xu Dongxin said: "His parents don't like to cook, they often ask him to cook, practice makes perfect."
"No wonder."
Through the hot fog, Lin Man noticed that Zhou Yu didn't seem to move his chopsticks much, so he moved a seat next to him calmly: "Don't you have an appetite?"
"Yeah." A cold word with a nasal sound.
He scooped two pieces of bleak cabbage leaves from the clear soup and put them in a bowl, dipped them in the sauce, and stirred them idly with chopsticks, like a picky eater in kindergarten who refuses to eat well.
"You sit over and don't worry about me."
As soon as he mentioned it, Lin Man immediately realized that the spicy pot on the left was too lively, while the right was too deserted.
She said sincerely: "Let me eat with you and Zhihe. I also eat clear soup."
Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
Lin Man said: "It's better to be light, I'm afraid of getting angry and my mouth will foam."
Zhou Yu reluctantly accepted her rhetoric, put the piece of meat that Lin Man gave him into his mouth, and chewed it bit by bit.
Lin Man was finally relieved, and happily buried himself in eating. When picking up vegetables, he didn't forget to take care of the person next to him.
People who are sick seem to be extraordinarily arrogant.
After eating too much, they slumped on the chairs for a while, and a few people cleaned up the mess on the table, and then they left and went home.
Lin Man went back to Gong Xiaqiu's residence at school, and Mu Zhihe followed her along the way.The two walked for a while, Lin Man was absent-minded all the time, and suddenly stopped when passing by the pharmacy: "I have to go back."
Mu Zhihe didn't seem surprised, and only told her: "Be careful."
Lin Man went to the pharmacy to buy medicine, then returned the same way, his heart pounded against his chest as he ran violently, and the sound of his own heartbeat seemed to echo in his ears.
She had agreed with him before she left, take a bath, take medicine, and sleep.Don't play mobile phones anymore, don't play games anymore.
He agreed and said yes.
But even if it was unnecessary, I would only be reconciled after confirming it later.
After knocking on the door, there was a delay in answering.
Maybe already asleep?Lin Man thought, she turned and prepared to go back.
The door opened from the inside.
Zhou Yu just came out of the shower, with wet hair on his head, he was surprised to see her, and let her in sideways: "You didn't go with them?"
Lin Man said, "Have you taken your medicine?"
"I just searched again, and there is no medicine at home."
Lin Man was immediately glad that he had made an extra trip: "I bought you a few white and black pills. If you feel uncomfortable, take one and sleep under the blanket."
"Did you come here to deliver me medicine?"
"No." Subconsciously denied.
"Then why are you here?"
"You...your sofa is too soft to sit on enough, so I came here to experience it again."
"Feel it well." Zhou Yu laughed in a hoarse voice, found a hair dryer to dry his hair, and signaled Lin Man to come over to help, even with ready-made excuses, "I have a cold, my limbs are weak, and I have no energy."
I'm so weak that I can't even lift a hair dryer.
Lin Man exposed him to his face: "It's not like he's paralyzed."
The young man was still covered with steam from the bathroom, water droplets dripped down his soft black hair, and his thin lips curled into an arc.He told her about the past and turned over old accounts: "You were sick when you were young, how did I take care of you?"
Lin Manyi recalled that she poured hot water, twisted a towel, took her body temperature, and sat on the saddle. She didn't even have to write homework by herself.
He was more considerate than her own mother, Dai Han, and she seemed to be his own daughter.
Zhou Yu asked, "Where's your conscience? Was it eaten by a dog?"
— Unfilial.
Lin Man couldn't stand such a big hat being buckled down.
Originally, he didn't have much bottom line for him, but when he recalled the not-too-distant past, his heart softened into a puddle of mud.
She drove him back to the bedroom, covered the quilt, and helped him blow his hair.The whistling hot wind sent out, like an invisible wave passing through her fingers, and drifted to his shore in an instant.
I don't know how many times I put the back of my hand on my slightly hot forehead.
She poured boiled water, peeled off the pills, brought them to her mouth, and served her elderly father.
He was full of emotions: "This feeling is like raising a cow ten years ago. Ten years later, I finally learned to plow the land, and the land can finally grow crops."
Lin Man said, "What kind of broken metaphor is this?"
His face was immersed in the shadow cast by the bedside lamp, and a faint bitter taste remained in his mouth.He knew that his cold was not serious, but he felt drowsy in her low, gentle voice.The night is quiet, the moonlight outside the window reflects the shadows of pines and cypresses.
You can sink into it and sleep comfortably.
There was a light touch on the lips, and a small piece of milk sugar was inserted.
It's hard, but not cold. It melts when you put it in your mouth, with a hint of fragrance and sweetness.
I don't know how long she had warmed it in the palm of her hand before, even the sugar was warmed up, and she didn't give it to him until this second.
