The phone vibrated frequently on the desktop, and Lu Jinbai frightened to turn it to silent.
Jiang Yao suddenly stopped and turned to look at him: "Do me a favor."
Lu Jinbai was so frightened that his hands shook and his phone almost fell from his hands to the ground: "Brother Jiang, I really can't commit murder and arson. I am the only one in our family. I am the hope of our whole family!"
Zhou Cheng pretended that the matter had nothing to do with him, and pretended to be on the phone.
"Zhou Cheng can help you. He also has a brother. Even if he doesn't live up to expectations, it will be fine!"
Zhou Cheng secretly gritted his teeth, and while greeting Lu Jinbai eight hundred times in his heart, he acted in a decent manner: "Ah, then I will go to the laboratory right now."
Lu Jinbai didn't hesitate to expose his trick: "Stop pretending, your phone is overturned, the screen is your desktop."
Zhou Cheng wanted to find another way to continue pretending, but he didn't even have time to say anything.
Jiang Yao: "You come too."
The screen of his mobile phone lit up. It was Sister Qinghe who was talking in the square group. Lu Jinbai clicked on it as if he was saved: "Sister Qinghe is going to the celebration banquet later."
Jiang Yao glanced at the group of messages and said calmly: "That needs to be resolved quickly."
Can't let her meet.
Like deflated rubber balls, the two of them followed him to the gardener's lounge resignedly.
Jiang Yao knocked politely.
Lu Jinbai tried to persuade: "Brother, the scissors for pruning the tree branches are too obvious! Can we change them?"
Zhou Cheng remained silent. He firmly believed that Jiang Yao was a good citizen who had a bottom line and obeyed the law.
An old man in his forties or fifties opened the door, and time left mottled marks on his face.
Facing three teenagers who were nearly a head taller than him: "Looking for me?"
Jiang Yao changed his previous lazy attitude and behaved: "Uncle, hello, I am a student of the Agricultural College."
Lu Jinbai and Zhou Cheng were behind, their heads filled with questions, and they quietly watched his serious nonsense.
The uncle didn’t know why: “Then what?”
"It's like this. Because I was sick, I didn't keep up with the courses and my homework. There is a section on gardening art. I need to learn how to decorate flower beds. I would like to ask you to guide me."
Lu Jinbai typed a line in the memo on his mobile phone: I don’t study well, don’t lie to me. Is there such a course in the Agricultural College?
Zhou Cheng was holding back his laughter until his face turned red. He took the phone and said, "I don't have enough education, so you can ask the Agricultural College."
Lu Jinbai: I swear, if the uncle doesn’t believe it, if he does, I will wash your feet.
This is also the first time that the uncle has heard that the Agricultural College has this course that requires further study, but the child in front of him has a sincere expression and speaks sincerely, so he must not be lying.
"It's okay..." The uncle thought about it for a moment. The flowers and plants in the college seemed to have been pruned just a few days ago. "There is no place to teach you."
"There is a flower bed in front of the boys' dormitory building. I think it is growing well and needs to be pruned."
The uncle was stunned for a moment, the place has been chosen, he came prepared!
The uncle went back to the house to pack his tools.
Jiang Yao also went in to help and took a water pipe while the uncle wasn't paying attention.
Lu Jinbai couldn't figure out what he was doing, so he could only follow behind.
The flower petals and candles spread all over the flower bed were put away for some unknown reason.
Tsk, the water pipe is ready.
Jiang Yao deliberately lowered his voice: "Classmate, please excuse me, I need to complete my homework."
As both college students, they understood the hard work of the workers and made space for them to pass by.
When he passed by Xu Hanlin, Jiang Yao raised the corners of his mouth and lowered the brim of his hat, hiding his iconic fox eyes.
Follow the uncle and learn the pruning techniques carefully.
He learned quickly and well. The uncle nodded with satisfaction, as a child can be taught.
"Uncle, this rope is tied too tight. It will easily break the stem of the flower when you pick it off."
"Cut it." The uncle sat on the bench to rest.
"OK."
Jiang Yao handed two pairs of scissors to Lu Jinbai and Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Cheng wants to take back what he said that he is a person with a bottom line, but there is no bottom limit at all!
Balloons floated into the sky one after another.
Xu Hanlin's brother was the first to notice something was wrong: "What are you doing?"
"Sorry, my hands are slippery." After saying that, he cut the rope of another balloon.
"I think you did it on purpose."
Among them, the young and energetic ones wanted to take action.
The uncle is also their half-master, so naturally he wants to defend his apprentice: "You are vandalizing public property! Believe it or not, I will tell the school leaders."
Xu Hanlin and his gang are suffering beyond words.
——
It was just getting dark, and a lot of onlookers gathered around the flower bed. They were surrounded by people on three levels inside and three levels outside.
The wound on Shen Qinghe's leg was covered with a thin layer of scab, and it still hurt a little when walking without support.
The only place where I could rest was still full of people.
I could only rely on the tree next to me to rest for a while.
Singing sounded from the center of the flower bed, with a deep and full voice.
Driven by curiosity, Shen Qinghe walked to the outside of the crowd and asked casually: "Who is confessing their love?"
The boy was a little surprised. After all, he had already announced it on the confession wall in advance: "You don't know yet? Senior Xu!"
"Xu Hanlin?"
"yes!"
The boy stared at her for a long time and couldn't help shouting: "You are Senior Sister Shen!!! Senior Sister Shen is here!"
The onlookers consciously gave way to the path of rose petals and candles.
Xu Hanlin sat on a high stool with one leg barely on the ground, playing and singing to himself: "I really miss you so much. In every rainy season, what you choose to forget is what I miss the most. Paper is short but love is long."
Ah, there are too many ripples to describe..."
Shen Qinghe stood at the end of the path, not moving forward, looking at Xu Hanlin with a somewhat complicated look.
Countless cheers came and went.
——
The playing and singing of "Paper Is Short, Love Is Long" sounded behind me.
Lu Jinbai saw the back figure on the path with sharp eyes and exclaimed: "Brother Jiang, Sister Qinghe is here!"
"Yeah." No emotion could be heard.
Jiang Yao stared at her dimly, and a sigh slowly escaped from his throat.
Suddenly he turned around and left, leaving the two people in the same place, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
"Shen Qinghe, I like you. From the night of my freshman year until now, I only have eyes for you."
His brother took the lead in shouting: "Together, together."
More and more people followed and said, "Together, together!"
"I know I'm a bit straight and can't say anything romantic, but I really like you. Can you consider me?"
No one among the onlookers shouted playfully: "I do!"
The uncle is not a person who likes to watch the excitement, so he felt heartbroken when he saw the petals all over the ground from so far away.
What if the candle accidentally ignites the flowers and plants he has carefully cultivated?!
"It's all gone! It's all gone!"
The old man speaks softly, no one wants to listen to him, and he still goes his own way.
Jiang Yao brought a basin of water from nowhere, walked to the center of the crowd, and accurately extinguished the candles swaying in the wind.
