The heavy rains of the past two days washed away the hot Jiangyang City. The clouds dispersed and the sky was clear, but the scorching heat in the air was much less.
Xu Yuhan was lying on the counter, watching several teachers in the studio teaching students how to draw, but she seemed to have nothing to do.
After struggling for a long time, I finally took out my phone and wrote a text message: Have you eaten?
But after writing it, she deleted the text message and thought about it for a long time before finally deciding what to send.
"What are you doing?"
Before lunch, she had just sent a text message asking Zhang Zhong if he had eaten.
Will he be annoyed?
"Writing."
The message was returned quickly, but the content of the message was too simple, only three words.
What should I go back to?
Ask him what he wrote?
But before she could decide, Zhang Zhong sent another message: "Want to see it?"
Boom!
With such a simple sentence, Xu Yuhan felt her heart suddenly speed up.
"Is that okay?"
After sending it, Xu Yuhan buried her whole head in her arms and asked if it seemed too humble. Her good friends told her that men and women must not be too humble.
It is said that when girls fall in love, they always put themselves very low, as low as dust, which is not good for each other.
Ding dong.
Zhang Zhong sent a picture over.
Xu Yuhan clicked on it and saw a line of handsome calligraphy on the picture, which read: Recalling the past when we met among flowers, we secretly tossed red beans with only our delicate hands.
Her face turned red again.
Is this a word?
Compared with him, I felt that I was so uneducated. Xu Yuhan entered this sentence into the search engine, but found that there was no word for this sentence at all.
Did he write it himself?
Did he write a lyric for himself?
…
Zhang Zhong stared at the phone for a while. Xu Yuhan didn't reply, so he continued to pick up the brush and write.
What he just wrote was Ouyang Jiong's Reminiscences of After Meeting Among Flowers.
He had never been interested in the tender-hearted poems of Yan Shu, Nalan, and Ouyang Jiong before, but now that he has written them, he seems to be more attractive than before.
Because of the soft nature of words, his handwriting also became elegant.
This is the charm of writing. Just a few words can arouse people's inner emotions. Even Zhang Zhong, who originally likes to be bold and bold, can feel the elegance and be affected by it.
After the heavy rain that day, the relationship between him and Xu Yuhan improved by leaps and bounds. Although they had not confirmed anything, their usual chat rhythm was like that of a man and woman in love.
Even Hu Huifang noticed the change in Zhang Zhong. During lunch, she saw Zhang Zhong replying to a message on his mobile phone and asked a special question.
Zhang Zhong rarely plays with his mobile phone, especially when eating. Unless someone calls, he rarely takes out his mobile phone.
After Zhang Zhong finished writing, Hu Huifang sat in the living room and asked him: "Son, do you want to invite Yuhan's parents out for a meal?"
…
In their concept, as long as the man and woman are interested in each other and the elders of the two parties have a meal together, the marriage can be finalized.
Zhang Zhong shook his head: "Let's talk about it later when we find a chance."
"Okay, then just wait."
Hu Huifang was not in such a hurry at all. She was testing her son by asking this question.
If there was nothing going on between Zhang Zhong and Teacher Xu, she would definitely tell her directly if she asked Zhang Zhong like this. But now that Zhang Zhong said we would talk about it later when we have a chance, it means that there is something going on between the two.
…
Xu Yuhan went back very early in the evening. Because of the summer vacation, her parents went back to Jiangyang today, so they went back early today.
As soon as she returned home, her mother, Cao Ruixia, grabbed her shoulders and looked up and down, and then said distressedly, "Look at you, you've lost weight again."
Xu Yuhan looked helpless. Although the number on the scale had not changed, her mother would say that she had lost weight every time she came back to see her. If it were like what her mother said, she would probably have only bones left now.
Xu Wenxuan said something fair from the side, "Where has the girl lost weight? Isn't she the same as last time?"
"What's the same? I just lost weight."
Xu Wenxuan pushed up his glasses and continued to watch TV without saying anything.
Cao Ruixia said to Xu Yuhan again, "Yuhan, I just checked the refrigerator and there was nothing in it. You don't usually cook at home?"
“I usually eat out most of the time and don’t have time to come back and cook.”
"That's not good. What you can buy outside is not as good as what you make yourself. Don't worry, Mom won't look for you when you are hungry when she comes back. I will cook for you. I even bought tomatoes and eggs. You are just like your dad.
I like to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes.”
You know how to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Xu Yuhan muttered to herself.
Xu Yuhan and Cao Ruixia made dinner together. Cao Ruixia made the main dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and Xu Yuhan made other side dishes such as braised fish and pork rib soup.
While eating, Xu Yuhan held her mobile phone in her hand while eating, and seemed to be replying to messages, her eyes still shining brightly.
Xu Wenxuan and Cao Ruixia looked at each other and raised their eyebrows at the same time.
Cao Ruixia asked: "Yuhan, have you made any new friends recently?"
"No new friends," Xu Yuhan said.
"Then who are you chatting with so happily?"
"Oh, he is the parent of one of my students. I had a few words with him about some tuition fees."
The couple looked at each other again and did not ask any more questions. However, they did not believe Xu Yuhan's statement. The look in her eyes when she sent the message could she be chatting with the parents of the students?
When Xu Yuhan entered the room, Cao Ruixia said, "This girl must be in love."
Xu Wenxuan said with a smile, "It has been more than a year since she graduated from college. Isn't it normal to fall in love?"
"I didn't say anything against her falling in love, but this girl just falls in love, secretly, and there's nothing else she can't say to us."
"Young people are not all like this. When we fell in love at that time, we were secretive. You didn't dare to tell your parents," Xu Wenxuan said.
Cao Ruixia rolled her eyes and said, "What does it mean to be sneaky? I didn't tell my parents at that time. It was because we were both studying and didn't have anything. I was afraid that they would worry if I did."
Xu Wenxuan smiled and shook his head, "Human, other people's things can be told in all kinds of ways, but when it comes to myself, I have two sets of standards."
Cao Ruixia curled her lips and said, "Don't think of me as one of those students in your philosophy department. I won't accept your tricks. I can't take care of my own daughter?"
"You can manage, so I said you science students have too shallow ideas. This educational issue is not an experiment in a laboratory..." Xu Wenxuan saw the look in his wife's eyes, and then quickly changed his words, "I mean you science students are logical.
My thinking is indeed strong, and I can also look at problems dialectically, which I think is very good."
