On the weekend, Xu Sui went to Sheng's house half an hour early to give Sheng Yan a make-up class, because they seemed to be rehearsing, and Xu Sui didn't expect that everyone would wait because of his own affairs.
As soon as he arrived at Sheng Yanjia's room, Xu Sui announced a bad news: "I have something to do in a while, and I didn't play games after the course."
Little Curly immediately lay down on the table, looking listless: "I haven't played games for a week, and I'm just waiting to fly in the game world with Teacher Xiao Xu."
"Today we have a one-hour math class, although there are no games to play," Xu Sui said deliberately, and patted him on the shoulder, "we will spend the remaining hour watching movies."
Little Curly immediately became energetic, and changed his words: "Mr. Xu, I can't wait to travel in the world of mathematics."
After Xu Sui gave Little Curly a math class seriously, Sheng Yanjia immediately cleaned up the desktop, turned on the projector, and asked excitedly: "Teacher, what are we watching? "The Avengers" Or Lord of the Rings?"
"Neither, let's watch "Friends." Xu Sui shook his head with a smile.
As we all know, "Friends" is one of the model movies for learning English and training oral English. Sheng Yanjia wanted to hit the wall and die on the spot.
After the one-hour movie ended, besides the two sets of math papers that Xu Sui left for Sheng Yanjia, there was also a review of "Friends".
"Routines, all routines, Teacher Xiao Xu, you are too bad!" Sheng Yanjia complained.
Xu Sui looked at the time and said with a smile: "I won't tell you, the bad teacher has to leave beforehand."
Xu Sui packed her things and hurried downstairs. She ran out of the living room all the way, and finally ran into Aunt Sheng who was organizing a game of cards in the courtyard.
Aunt Sheng was wearing a water-blue cheongsam with buttons and slits, and a woolen shawl on the outside. Come play cards."
"I still have something to do." Xu Sui immediately said hastily with a premonition that something big would happen soon.
Aunt Sheng came over in two or three steps, stomped her feet, and took her hand: "Ten minutes, just ten minutes, Lao Li next door has gone to the bathroom, so you can help."
"But I'm not very good at it." Xu Sui complained in his heart.
"It's okay, we'll teach you." Aunt Sheng pulled her involuntarily and pushed her onto the card table.
There was a wooden square table with a fruit plate next to it, filled with candied fruit and melon seeds. The sun shone obliquely inside, and several street visitors sat together playing cards. The hearty laughter and curses were all mixed with winning or losing.
Demu was lying at Aunt Sheng's feet, and Xu Sui sent Zhou Jingze a WeChat message while the cards were being dealt out: [That... I might be late, you guys rehearse first.]
In less than a minute, the phone displayed a message from zjz: [Where is it?]
Xu Sui lowered his head and replied to the text message: [Still at Aunt Sheng's house, pulling me to play cards, and I'm not... not very good at it.]
Aunt Sheng was dealing the cards, her eyes were sharp, she said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, don't play with your mobile phone, even if you are sending messages with your boyfriend, you have to concentrate on my poker table."
Xu Sui couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to put the phone aside. Xu Sui only knows a little bit about poker, and learned some rules by watching her uncle's family play poker every New Year's Eve, but she is a rookie in poker, and has no chance of winning.
After playing for ten minutes, Xu Sui found that the cards in his hand were too bad. Aunt Sheng had been beaming since the beginning of the game, and she quietly glanced at her phone.
Zhou Jingze replied with two words: [Wait.]
What are you waiting for, will he help find rescuers, or will he call Aunt Sheng so that she can go? Xu Suizai tried his best to guess.
Xu Sui lasted a round with her poor card skills, but Lao Li next door hadn't appeared yet, and everyone was in high spirits, so she could only force herself to continue playing bad cards.
In the second game, the cards in Xu Sui's hand were not very good. When she was hesitating whether to play the pot or not, a deep voice sounded:
"Out this."
At the same time, there was a pack of cigarettes and a silver lighter beside the table.
Xu Sui turned around suddenly, and Zhou Jingze appeared in front of him out of nowhere, wearing a black jacket, gray trousers, thin lips and a straight nose.
"Jingze, why are you here?" Aunt Sheng asked.
"You put me here, so I'm here." Zhou Jingze smiled.
Aunt Sheng's eyes rolled around between the two of them, then she smiled and said, "Okay, old rules, two wins out of three, you can only leave if you beat me twice."
Xu Sui's tone was a little anxious: "Aunt Sheng, we really have something to do, we have to rehearse..."
"It's okay, soon." Zhou Jingze interrupted her.
When playing cards next, Xu Sui was even more out of shape than before. Because Zhou Jingze was standing behind her, and from time to time he bent down to guide her.
His elbow rested on Xu Sui's right side, the light blue blood vessels were obvious, and the black cloth brushed against her shoulder, Xu Sui felt that his senses were infinitely magnified, he seemed to have just washed his hair, and his body smelled like mint The fragrance is also filled with a bit of bitterness of basil.
Xu Sui's cheeks were hot, and he stretched out a pair of hands with clear joints, and pulled out a card with his thumb and forefinger. He snorted breathlessly: "Why are you in a daze?"
His fingertips accidentally touched Xu Sui's hand, it was very light, like snow, and the mole on his tiger's mouth appeared repeatedly in front of her eyes, Xu Sui was uncomfortable, and his breathing was a little short, she pinched the palm with her nails .
Xu Sui secretly told himself to be calm, to pretend not to care, and never to show any flaws.
Otherwise, if you like him, there is nowhere to hide.
Xu Sui breathed out, trying to keep himself calm. Zhou Jingze is very smart. His kind of smartness is holding back his viciousness. He will give you a little sweetness first, and then you will be caught off guard.
Under Zhou Jingze's guidance, Xu Sui won two games in a row. Aunt Sheng pushed all the lost money in front of Xu Sui, pointed at him and said, "Hurry up, get out, if you stay any longer, I will go bankrupt."
Zhou Jingze smirked, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and bit it in his mouth, lowered his head to meet Xu Sui's hesitant eyes: "This money..."
"Take it away, take it to buy candy." Zhou Jingze smiled while biting a cigarette, his voice was a bit vague.
The two walked out of the Sheng Family Courtyard side by side. Zhou Jingze walked a little faster than her with a cigarette between his fingertips. Xu Sui stared at his shoulder and bravely said, "Thank you for Bai Yuyue's matter."
Zhou Jingze turned his head and raised his eyebrows: "How do you know it's me?"
"Guess." Xu Sui replied.
"Okay," Zhou Jingze kicked the stone under his feet, and smiled lazily, "Then how do you thank me?"
Xu Sui originally wanted to say "As long as I can do it, I can do it", but Zhou Jingze put one hand in his pocket, looked at her with his head tilted, his rock-black eyes locked tightly on her, and his tone was meaningful:
"Or, are you also asking me to drink milk tea?"
