"Teacher Xu is coming?" Zhang Zhong was a little surprised. He didn't even know when his mother got Xu Yuhan's call.
"Yeah, what's the matter? Fortunately, I worked hard to teach Peng Peng how to draw, and invited my family to come over for a meal or something." Hu Huifang glanced at her and said nervously.
"Nothing, I was just a little surprised."
Zhang Zhong said nothing more, lowered his head and began to choose the dishes carefully.
At around ten o'clock, before cooking started, Xu Yuhan came over.
"Son, go and open the door."
Zhang Zhong put down the food in his hand and went to open the door without even bothering to wash his hands.
Xu Yuhan wore a blue Panama hat today. It seems that she particularly likes this style of hat.
Maybe it was specially matched, and she also wore a starry sky dress. The dark blue dress was dotted with countless stars.
But she was not relaxed now. She was carrying two large bags with both hands, which seemed very strenuous.
Zhang Zhong hurriedly went to pick her up, "Teacher Xu, you're just here for a quick meal. Why are you bringing so many things? You're too polite."
"Nothing, just some fruits bought on the roadside."
Zhang Zhong felt something heavy when he held it in his hand. When he looked inside the bag, he saw that it was really all fruits. These fruits were probably enough for his family to eat for a week or two.
"Teacher Xu, please sit down first. I'm going to wash my hands. I was just choosing vegetables."
"Are you choosing food? Do you want my help?"
Before Zhang Zhong could speak, Hu Huifang ran out of the kitchen and said, "Teacher Xu is here. Sit down. You don't have to choose the dishes. Son, don't choose the dishes either. Pour a glass of water for Teacher Xu and chat with her. This is such a big deal.
It’s a hot day. The temperature outside is so high. Let’s get Teacher Xu some cold drinks.”
After finishing speaking, Hu Huifang returned to the kitchen.
Zhang Zhong shrugged, "Drink something cold?"
It was just a simple question, but Xu Yuhan actually blushed a little, "I'll just drink some boiled water."
"good."
After washing his hands and pouring some water for Xu Yuhan, he also sat down on the sofa.
"Pengpeng went to summer camp, has he left already?"
"Well, I just left this morning."
"I'm going for ten days, right? I don't know if Pengpeng will miss home."
"She's heartless. She knows why she's homesick." Zhang Zhong smiled and asked Xu Yuhan, "Now that summer vacation is here, the studio is even busier, right?"
"Well, I have to be a little busier, but I hired another teacher, so I feel more relaxed." Facing Zhang Zhong, Xu Yuhan was still a little cautious. The water Zhang Zhong poured for her was held in her lap by her hands as she spoke.
He also lowered his head slightly when he was walking, not looking at Zhang Zhong very much.
In fact, when Aunt Hu called her to come over for dinner, she was a little surprised. She was also worried that this was not a good idea. She even thought about calling Zhang Zhong and asking for his opinion.
But after much deliberation, she agreed.
Her feelings for Zhang Zhong are very complicated, because she always wanted to stay away from Zhang Zhong last time, but she couldn't help but want to see him.
Seeing that Xu Yuhan was a little reserved, Zhang Zhong moved his butt to the side, widening the distance between the two.
"Then you have some free time now and can go around for a walk. Your paintings are very good. You should really leave some time for yourself." Zhang Zhong said.
"Well, I was thinking about going out for a walk in two days." When she said this, Xu Yuhan suddenly raised her head and smiled, "After all, you don't know when the little broken ball will be wandering, and I have to spend some time to capture those beautiful things."
Read everything.”
Zhang Zhong smiled. It seemed that Xu Yuhan also read his new book.
"If one day comes, no matter how many beautiful scenery we have seen before, there will always be some regrets."
Xu Yuhan nodded, "Yes, people are always dissatisfied."
The atmosphere between the two of them chatting was a bit strange, as they chatted incessantly.
I originally thought that it would be better if my mother joined me during the meal, but I didn't expect that after Hu Huifang finished cooking, she picked up a lunch box and said to Zhang Zhong, "I want to bring food to your dad. You guys eat first. I will be back in a while."
.”
"How about we wait until you come back to eat?"
"No, it may take a lot of time. I guess Teacher Xu is also hungry. There are no outsiders anyway. You guys eat first."
After Hu Huifang left, Zhang Zhong and Xu Yuhan looked at the dishes on the table, and the atmosphere became more subtle.
After finally finishing the meal, Hu Huifang came back again as if holding her watch.
"You've finished eating. There's no need to put away the dishes. I'll just take care of them. You can take Teacher Xu out for a walk. I heard that there are activities going on in the mall these two days. Go and have a look. You'll buy everything you need at home.
It can save a lot of money.”
Hu Huifang was almost pushed out of the door, and then Hu Huifang threw an umbrella to Zhang Zhong, "I think the weather outside is not normal. It might rain. You should take an umbrella out to be safe."
…
I took Xu Yuhan shopping for a while, and the two of them kept walking without buying anything.
"Teacher Zhang, it's getting late, I'll go back first."
"Well, okay." Zhang Zhong also wanted to end this embarrassing scene as soon as possible.
After driving Xu Yuhan to the opposite side of the road in her community, Xu Yuhan got out of the car.
However, Xu Yuhan had just taken two steps when the sky started thundering, and it really looked like it was going to rain.
The summer rain came down as fast as it could and came hard. Zhang Zhong glanced at Xu Yuhan, parked the car quickly, and rushed over with the umbrella his mother gave him.
"Teacher Xu, wait a minute."
When Zhang Zhong came out, raindrops had already begun to fall from the sky, and it was about to rain heavily.
Xu Yuhan turned her head and saw Zhang Zhong rushing over with an umbrella, and zipped up her bag - she actually had an umbrella in her bag.
She stood there, looking at Zhang Zhong who rushed over, and her heart beat in step with Zhang Zhong's steps.
When Zhang Zhong ran to Xu Yuhan, as if planned, a heavy downpour fell. Zhang Zhong quickly opened his umbrella and held it over the heads of the two of them.
But the embarrassing thing is that half of this umbrella is broken and only half is good.
"Well……"
Zhang Zhong quickly transferred the good half to Xu Yuhan's head, while he held the broken half. The rain was so heavy that half of his body was soaked in less than ten seconds.
"Let's go, Teacher Xu, I'll take you home as soon as possible."
Xu Yuhan touched her bag and finally nodded, "Yeah."
Just like that, two people were walking in the heavy rain holding a half-broken umbrella.
The distance from where they were standing to the downstairs of Xu Yuhan's house was only about two to three hundred meters, but now that I was walking, it felt like it was so far away.
When he was sent downstairs, Zhang Zhong was already soaked through, his clothes were stuck to his body, and the water in his shoes might have been enough to raise fish.
Xu Yuhan looked at Zhang Zhong who was soaked all over and said, "Teacher Zhang, your clothes are soaked. You might catch a cold when you go back now. Why don't you go up and dry your clothes before leaving?"
Zhang Zhong looked at the water on his body. Not to mention whether he would catch a cold, he would probably get all the water in the car, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I won't bother you."
