Before the final exam, the students in the laboratory had a dinner party. Senior Tang treated guests. It happened that Huang Xiaoling went to meet his boyfriend. In order to fill up the table, he called Zhou Bibiran. The farce that happened.
The place is still the restaurant that ate boiled fish at the beginning, but the artistic conception is far better than that. After all, on a summer night, a few young friends are eating shabu-shabu and drinking cold beer. I feel that the beauty of life is nothing more than this.
Tang Xuechang got up behind the steaming fish pot, held a beer, and apologized to Zhou Biyi: "I didn't think carefully about the incident last time, which made everyone laugh. After I went back, I shut myself up and thought about it. Goodbye junior and junior, I'm really ashamed, taking advantage of today's good opportunity to face each other, I solemnly apologize to you, Junior Zhou, I'm sorry."
Zhou Bibi shook his head indifferently, and with a thin piece of fish caught on his chopsticks, he said with a smile, "If you don't mention this, I'd have forgotten it."
"Junior Zhou is grand." Senior Tang drank the beer in one gulp.
Zhou Biran also had a drink.
Senior Sister Xing Xing was considerate, and at this moment she spoke a fair word: "Actually, you can't blame Junior Zhou for Xiaoling's matter. Relationships are all about your love and my wish. Junior Zhou has no interest here, so I simply refused. It's better to end it sooner."
Senior sister Zhao said earnestly: "Zhou Biran, you are not a bad person, why are you so unforgiving? You can refuse people, but you have to pay attention to the way, and you should be more or less graceful, especially for a thin-skinned girl like Xiaoling."
Zhou Biran still looked indifferent, raised his eyebrows, and said, "To be honest, I didn't expect her to be so fragile, probably because I never knew her well, and I don't know her temperament is like this."
The others stopped talking, and understood what Zhou Biran said. He never looked at Huang Xiaoling more than once, and never paid attention to her. It's wrong, and it's not good.
At this time, Bai Ziren said, "Fortunately, Huang Xiaoling has already thought about it."
They were relieved when they heard this, Senior Sister Luo also jokingly said: "Yeah, Xiaoling has been in high spirits recently, I wish the whole world knew that she found a new boyfriend, in stark contrast to Junior Zhou, who is lonely and lonely. Come to think of it, the one who lost in this sentence turned out to be the man."
Zhou Bibi smiled wryly, and raised his glass to the senior sister, thanking her for speaking up for himself. You must know that since the conflict with Huang Xiaoling, he has been criticized by girls from various departments. Everyone sympathized with the woman and ridiculed him. It has been a long time , he was also a little depressed.
This topic was brought to the fore, Senior Tang quickly asked Senior Xing Xing how his newly married life was, and asked how far Bai Ziren and his boyfriend had progressed.
Senior sister Zhao coughed lightly, and fought back righteously for her junior: "Old Tang, why are you a man asking about other people's boudoir secrets?"
Bai Ziren hurriedly said, "We don't live together."
This time even Senior Sister Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Aren't you going to his house on weekends?"
"No."
Senior Sister Luo applauded: "Yes, that's what you call a man of character. You can't let him touch a finger before marriage."
Seeing that he couldn't stop talking, Bai Ziren lowered his head and ate the food in the bowl.
Zhou Biran, who was sitting next to him, asked lightly: "What about summer vacation? Are you going out to play?"
"No, he's going to teach in Jishan County. It will take about a month and a half, and he will probably be back at the end of August."
"Ah? Isn't that why we won't see each other for a long time?" Senior Xing Xing felt a little distressed when she heard that, "You two are still in love, so pitiful."
Bai Ziren was silent, and she was heartbroken when she mentioned this fact, and she couldn't see each other for nearly two months...
"Why don't you go together?"
Bai Ziren was startled, and looked up at Zhou Biran, a little puzzled.
Zhou Biran seemed to regret what he blurted out, and rounded it up perfunctorily: "I mean, the scenery in Jishan County is good, and the journey is not too far away. You can go there for a few days and visit your boyfriend by the way."
"But he has to work, and I will disturb him if I go."
Several people shook their heads, saying that she was worrying too much. People are not machines. They have to work 24 hours a day. There must be a break. Could it be that she is so busy that she can't even take care of her girlfriend? Teacher Cheng doesn't look like the kind of man who would snub a beauty.
Bai Ziren fell into deep thought.
The following days can be described as very busy, handing in papers, taking exams, and doing chores for the tutor. Although Cheng Jingbo brought snacks over from time to time, Bai Ziren still lost a lot of weight. Seeing his fiancée again, Bo smiled helplessly: "It was all for nothing before."
"The big deal is to start eating from today." Bai Ziren was very confident.
Cheng Jingbo covered the top of her head with his palm, and suddenly patted it lightly, asking, "How long has it been since you cut your hair?"
"Three months."
"No wonder there are so many tiny hairs on the forehead."
Bai Ziren took out a small mirror and looked, and it was as he said.
"Let me fix it for you."
"You know how to cut your hair?"
"The level is very amateurish, but enough to deal with you."
After he finished speaking, he took her to the office on the third floor, and found a set of hair cutting tools in the corner. different types of hair scissors and different types of combs.
Bai Ziren was placed on a sofa chair. Cheng Jingbo tied a cloth around her neck, spread her long hair, parted it with her fingers, and then thinned her thicker hair with scissors, trimmed it The part of the ponytail, and then clean up the fine hair.
He didn't say a word and worked seriously, but she couldn't help asking him: "Have you ever cut someone's hair before?"
"Help my sister cut it."
Bai Ziren paused for a moment, then asked again, "Why didn't you take her to the barber shop?"
"Because she was allergic to seafood at the time, she had rashes on her face, she hid at home and refused to meet people, and her hair was thick and long, so I had to cut it for her."
"You are so kind to your sister."
He just bent down and looked at the fine hair on her forehead, and slowly moved his slender fingers, his clear eyes just met hers, as if he was studying everything about her, when he heard this sentence, he explained: "Because She is related to me by blood."
One sentence dispelled the jealousy hidden in Bai Ziren's heart, and she asked openly, "Apart from that, what else have you done for her?"
"Generally, older brothers will do things like help her with her homework, imitate her parents' signatures, buy her favorite ice cream to eat, and give her gifts on her birthday. You can't shirk any requests at ordinary times. She has to go there in time when she gets into trouble." Clean up the mess."
Bai Ziren listened to him quietly, blinked his eyes slowly, and said his heart at the same time: "It's a pity, I don't have a big brother."
"It's a good thing you didn't." He answered calmly.
"Huh?" She suspected that she had heard wrong.
He brushed off the shattered hair on her apron, brushed her long hair on both sides to her shoulders, and when he withdrew his hand, his fingers slid across her earlobe inadvertently.
"Otherwise, I will be jealous that someone once treated you so well."
She raised her face and asked back, "Then aren't you afraid that I'll be jealous?"
"That's why I seldom talk about my sister. That's what I'm afraid of."
"..."
"Is your sister pretty?" she asked again.
"She's cute, I'll show you the picture some other day."
"It's the first time I heard you say that other girls are cute from your mouth."
"Cuteness doesn't move my heart." He looked down into her eyes and said solemnly.
Probably because of the light, she seemed to see a blue-green lake, glowing in the sun, calm and vast enough to make people intoxicated.
He stretched out his hand to cover her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Close it for a while, and then open it after I cut it off. Be careful not to hurt your eyes."
She closed her eyes and let him trim her long hair with his hands. Time is like condensed white sand. With the sunlight outside the window, it slowly falls like dust and silently sticks to the floor. At that time, her father took her to the barber shop. The chubby barber put his palm on her bangs, which was so hot that it seemed like a steam was passing over, but his hands were different. The breeze, the temperature is just right, very comfortable.
"However, as a brother, I'm not as patient as you think. For a while, I thought she was annoying, talking too much, and getting into trouble, like a burden that could never be shaken off."
She listened to him.
"I regret it now." His tone remained unchanged, neither self-deprecating nor sad.
Her eye sockets were a little sore for a moment.
After he trimmed her hair and helped her take off the apron, she combed her hair with a comb, and looked in the mirror, and found that he cut her hair very nicely, neatly and with radians.
When he was packing his things, she had quietly come up behind him and poked his waist with her hand.
"Huh?" he asked with a smile.
She hugged him.
He looked down at the arms folded around his waist, didn't say much, and let her depend on her.
"If I want to eat ice cream in the future, you can buy it for me too."
He was thoughtful, and when he spoke again, his tone was indulgent: "You can buy whatever you want, and I'll give it all to you."
At the beginning of July, Cheng Jingbo went to Jishan County, and Bai Ziren was in a daze.
Her trance is different from others, it is a real trance, she sits at the desk alone, puts it down after reading the book for a while, and looks out of the window, and then an hour passes, the book is spread out, and it still stays on that page .
A small figure wobbled over, jumped onto another chair, assumed the same posture, rested his chin on one hand, and looked out the window intently.
Only then did Bai Ziren come back to his senses, looked at Mu Zibei's round face, and asked, "When did you come in?"
Mu Zibei turned his face away and said aggrievedly, "Guaziren, I called you at the door many times, but you ignored me."
"Sorry, I didn't hear you."
"Ever since brother-in-law left, you've acted like you ignored everyone, even the handsome and invincible young master, I didn't pay attention to."
"This... why are you looking for me?"
"It's nothing. It's just that when I was having lunch just now, my father said that something is wrong with you. If you continue like this, I'm afraid you will get lovesickness. I was also worried about you when I heard that, so I came here to have a look. Sure enough, you are really sick."
"Where?" Bai Ziren didn't know why and poked his forehead with his hand.
Mu Zibei pointed her eyes with Yuanyuan's fingers, and said with certainty: "Your eyes are full of mosquito coils, as if you are walking in an enchanted circle."
"..."
"Are you thinking about your brother-in-law?"
"It's okay, I just thought about it a little bit."
"Liar, you've been thinking about him."
Bai Ziren didn't want her inner activities to be seen through by a ten-year-old child. In order to cover up her embarrassment, she found a box of chocolate biscuits from the drawer and generously distributed them to him. When he was eating with gusto and had no time to care about other things, she hurried away. go out.
A city without a loved one is boring.
Bai Ziren was wandering on the street alone, not knowing where he wanted to go, but he didn't want to go home either, so he walked aimlessly.
It was such a coincidence that when she passed by the cinema on Chunrong Road, she saw two acquaintances, one was well-dressed and looked graceful, the other was only wearing home clothes, with a pair of cartoon slippers on her feet, looking embarrassed, they were pulling, her His eyes moved back and forth with the strange picture, he was still hesitating whether to go up to say hello, but within a short while, the tall man completely lost his patience, put the girl on his shoulders, and walked into the gate of the cinema leisurely , two flip-flops were left at the door.
It's so bloody and cruel... Bai Ziren thought to himself, if the princess hugged him, Xiao Ji would obey him a lot.
But at least Manager Zhang succeeded. Judging by his appearance, I don't know what terrible things he will do in the movie theater.
Bai Ziren shook his head, disapproving very much, but there was nothing he could do, so he turned around and left as if he didn't see it.
I don't know how many miles she walked, she arrived at the door of the non-bookstore, opened the door and went in, and saw the boss and the proprietress were there, the proprietress was chatting with the guests, and the boss was holding the baby to inspect the hygiene in the corner, standing in Bai Ziren's position, just right Facing the fat baby's big black eyes, today he is wearing a red hat, holding a pacifier in his mouth, wrapping his white lotus-like arms around his father's shoulders, staring blankly ahead.
Bai Ziren ordered a drink by himself. After sitting down, he saw the proprietress walking towards the boss and took the fat baby in his arms. The baby's hat fell on the ground. The boss bent down to pick it up and put it on the baby. , reached out to touch the boss's cheek, the baby stared wide-eyed, and stretched out his hand to keep his father away from touching his mother, but his father acted as if he was teasing him, and took his wife's hand with the other hand, the baby lowered his head and looked at her with big eyes. Holding their hands, she hurried to stop them, but her arms were too short to reach her. She was very anxious, and her mother leaned over and kissed her father's chin again. This time, the baby was really angry, and he waved his arms in the air. .
Bai Ziren stared blankly for a while, then turned his gaze away, his heart was pounding, and he returned to normal after a while, but he was a little lost, staying at home was very boring, and when he came out, he found that the street was full of three people except for lovers, and it was very uncomfortable to be alone. adapt.
She drank a cup of black tea and a few biscuits by herself, paid the bill and left.
The weather is very hot, and there is a layer of heat waves in the air outside. Green watermelons are displayed one after another in the fruit stalls along the street. A boy in a sweat vest gallops past on a four-wheel skateboard, bringing a burst of laughter. The big tree There is an old lady sitting on a chair, drinking tea and shaking a fan.
Summer has always been her favorite season. Dress lightly, drink cool fruit juice, sit cross-legged on the floor to read homework, and listen to the sound of cicadas. She is very happy, but not now, she just feels bored, the whole portrait I was fixed in place, not knowing where to go next.
It turns out that it doesn't matter whether it is Xia Hua or Dong Xue, the key is whether he is by my side.
A few pictures of Jishan County searched on the Internet came to her mind, and for a moment, she began to yearn for that place.
