Being a mother

"Hey, Dr. Tan, why are you here?" Gao Liyang's attention was diverted. He remembered that the last time he saw Tan Li'er was at the opening ceremony of the last school. He hadn't seen her for more than half a year. Tan Li'er's face looked a lot rounder.

"I just got back from doing some work in Kitahama. How about you guys?"

"I went out for a trip and just came back."

"Baby!"

An An was restless in her grandmother's arms. She twisted her round head, stretched out her little hands and pointed at Tan Li'er.

"Yes, baby, there is a little baby in my aunt's belly." Tan Li'er touched An An's face, and the little guy giggled.

Grandma also laughed: "Oh, girl, how many months have you been?"

"Four months."

Gao Liyang looked at Zhou Xi for a moment as if he had eaten a melon.

"Sister Tan, congratulations." Zhou Xi turned his head and spoke uncomfortably, then moved again.

Gao Liyang: "Yes, sister, congratulations!"

"Thank you."

After the two of them finished chatting with Tan Li'er, they turned back. Gao Liyang still felt a little curious.

Gao Liyang forgot when it was last semester, but he remembered that someone posted in the group chat that the gentle doctor in the infirmary had left and was replaced by a middle-aged man who was very fierce.

Combined with the ring he saw at the opening ceremony, Gao Liyang really felt that Tan Lier's major life events were like riding a train, too fast.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Xi caught Gao Liyang daydreaming again.

"It's okay, you don't need to know about eating melons." Gao Liyang pointed at the headphones and said, "Just study hard."

Zhou Xi even took off his headphones and asked: "When was I expelled from the melon-eating household?"

"Secret." Gao Liyang didn't say it. Zhou Xi and Chen Yu were the key protected persons in their Liuliu Dashunli. They didn't need to ask about what was happening outside the window. They just needed to read the books of sages.

There was a time when six of us opened a mahjong room on our mobile phones. There was a rule: a ring match, and the two worst players in each round would be eliminated.

But throughout the entire game, Zhou Xi and Chen Yu sat firmly on the podium, their phones never going offline. Miss Xiao and Sheng Sheng lost the most and bet the most.

Then the two of them gritted their teeth, and as soon as their eyes met, a plan was born.

Later, Xiao Xiaoyu joined forces with him, Gao Yuanyuan, and Lu Zisheng, and the four of them secretly opened a mahjong table, calling it a meeting with three people missing one.

The spirit of the meeting was to let Zhou Xi and Chen Yu read good books, and they would be responsible for eating, drinking and having fun.

However, thanks to Gao Liyang's unremitting efforts, he is no longer a certain-sided player, so he is about to be expelled from the eating, drinking and having fun group.

"Don't worry, it's not a big problem and it won't have any impact." Gao Liyang comforted Zhou Xi and also comforted himself.

"It's okay, I have Qi Haha. When Haha takes action, even Li Li has to admit defeat."

"Damn..." Gao Liyang was a little panicked. He wondered if he would be the one with the most outdated information.

"You are really good at it, that's fine."

"What tricks did the school use? It's amazing that they bought this place." Zhou Xi rested his arms on the window and leaned his head out. The wind blew in his face, which was a signal of graduation season.

The 985 bus was driving steadily on the main road. It was the time when students were in class and adults were at work, so there were very few people on the bus.

"As for this matter, we can only say that the school is well-informed. They took action immediately after hearing the news." Gao Liyang's voice mixed with the bus broadcast and sounded unreal.

What Zhou Xigang was asking about was a piece of vacant land behind the school. Many people were eyeing it, including Yuxiu.

Yuxiu has always wanted to take over the land and build a teachers' activity center, but the owner has been holding back. Now, for some reason, he is willing to give up.

Zhou Xi remembered that many people in the school made bets on whether the school could acquire the land and whether the teachers' activity center could be built in the three years they were at the school.

Now, the area has been fenced off with iron sheets and the construction is in full swing. It seems that the teachers' activity center will be completed soon.

"If they suddenly say they want to sell it, then it must go to the highest bidder. You know what our school has the most of, money."

Zhou Xi took advantage of the car slowing down and reached out his hand, and the scattered sunlight came through the branches and made close contact with his hand.

As the car speeds up, the flower trees are left behind, leaving only a handful of fine pollen.

Zhou Xi looked at Gao Liyang behind him as if awakened: "You——"

Gao Liyang looked at Zhou Xi's clenched fists, and the mole at the corner of his mouth shifted. "Don't worry, I've taken the medicine, and everything will be fine."

"You reacted pretty quickly. I thought you had forgotten about the life and death of your former deskmate."

"It's quite troublesome."

"We've arrived at Yuxiu High School Station. Passengers please get off..."

"Let's go." Gao Liyang pulled Zhou Xi's ponytail.

"You haven't answered my question yet."

"What's the big deal? It's good enough that it's not swollen like a pig's head, don't you think?" Gao Liyang pulled Zhou Xi away quickly to avoid being hit by the exhaust fumes from the bus.

"Don't worry, a pig's head won't affect your handsomeness."

The sun was so hot that people couldn't open their eyes. Zhou Xi had just taken out the umbrella from his bag when it was taken away by someone.

Gao Liyang looked up at the direction of the sun and asked Zhou Xi to walk inside: "I'll fight."

The shadow cast by the umbrella covered Zhou Xi completely, and he was not exposed to the sun at all. Gao Liyang felt comfortable. It was still the familiar formula.

At this time, there are only a few shared bicycles parked sparsely at the school gate, and the stalls that used to be full of tricycles are now gone.

As a result, the area of ​​​​stalls in front of the school gate was exposed. It was dark and, according to the school, it was a disgrace to the school. Zhou Xi took a breath, and the air seemed to be mixed with the smell of oil smoke.

"Uncle, open the door." Gao Liyang shouted, but there was no movement in the security room for a long time.

"Is there no one here?" Zhou Xi opened his phone and sent a message to Chen Liuyan.

Gao Liyang was not in a hurry at all. He snapped his fingers and said, "No, this uncle must be playing with his phone inside. We have to wait a little longer."

Zhou Xi was puzzled. She remembered that Uncle Zhang rarely played with his mobile phone during work hours.

"Where's the leave note?"

"here."

"Where is Uncle Zhang?" Zhou Xi whispered to Gao Liyang.

Gao Liyang glanced at the impatient uncle and lowered his voice: "Retired."

The obese uncle held a cigarette in his hand, took a deep drag, and let it out through his nose: "Where's yours?"

Zhou Xi frowned calmly and said, "I'm going back to school to do something. The teacher will come over later."

"Okay, you two wait here." The uncle hunched his back and immediately hid in the security room again.

"Uncle Zhang was doing a good job, why was he changed to this?" When Zhou Xi saw someone go in, he covered his nose and walked several steps to the side.

Gao Liyang leaned closer to Zhou Xi and whispered, "On the surface, he said he was retiring, but in fact, he was replaced by this person. He has connections."

"What a pity." Zhou Xi's expression darkened. Uncle Zhang was a very good person. He didn't know what happened to Dayu. Maybe Uncle Zhang would take good care of Dayu.

"Who said it wasn't true? We are all scolding this guy. He is not a good person and doesn't do his job well." Gao Liyang heard that this guy usually collected a lot of cigarettes and lived a very comfortable life.

"But don't worry, Uncle Zhang is working as a security guard in the community now, and he's doing OK."

"How do you know?"

"What a coincidence! It's right in my neighborhood. Besides, there are so many people in the school. If you want to find out about someone, it's easy. I can find out for you in minutes."

Zhou Xi saw Lao Zhang jogging towards her, with a bunch of keys on his waist jingling like singing a song. She was very curious why it was Lao Zhang who came over. She didn't send the wrong message.

"You, do you know that it's raining heavily now——"

Gao Liyang was happy: "Oh, that's good. She's a mother now and has given birth to four cubs!"

"You don't know..."

Grandpa Zhang raised Dayu well, and he attracted a lot of people. In their community, everyone liked to play with him. However, if he wasn't careful, he would be seduced away by someone's male cat.

Uncle Zhang discovered that one time, the cat came to see Da Yu, and the two cats were very affectionate with each other. Da Yu seemed to be a little abnormal - she was pregnant.

Uncle Zhang was very angry when he learned the truth. It was also because Da Yu was hairy and fat, and it was impossible to find it without careful observation.

Later, people naturally worshipped the heavy rain as their ancestor and waited for it to produce.

Fortunately, Dayu had a good eye, and none of the four cubs born were ugly; all of them were beautiful.

Grandpa Zhang was very happy to be a grandfather, but then, the four cubs grew up and started to show their true nature. They were like little bullies, acting like spoiled brats. Da Yu was so disgusted with them that he just threw the four cubs to Grandpa Zhang, who was also very annoyed.

At this time, there were people in the community who wanted to raise cats. After seeing the heavy rain, Uncle Zhang got the consent of Sijiao and rescued three cats.

After hearing this, Zhou Xi breathed a sigh of relief: "You understand it quite clearly."

"That's right, little kitty."

Zhou Xi thought for a moment and said, "No, why didn't you tell me anything?"

Gao Liyang just finished laughing, and then he became excited. He licked his lips and said, "Hey, I haven't argued with you yet. Aren't you so busy studying? Tell me, did you listen to my voice message? I've already told you some things. Don't slander me."

"Oh, maybe, maybe they didn't finish listening. Some of them fell asleep while listening." Zhou Xi came out from under the umbrella, "Lao Zhang is here, let's go."

"Don't run, am I a monster?"

"You say, am I a monster? Run away when you see me?" Zhou Xi smiled. She didn't do anything, why should she run away? Is she so scary?

"Isn't that Du Xinying?" Gao Liyang stuffed the umbrella into Zhou Xi's hand, pushed away the people blocking the way in front, and saw Du Xinying running faster than a mouse.

It was Xiao Xiaoyu who showed it to him on her mobile phone that Gao Liyang finally knew what Du Xinying looked like. He was almost scared when he saw it.

It was summer, and everyone else was wearing short-sleeved school uniforms, but she was wearing a long-sleeved school uniform jacket. Her long hair, eyebrow-length bangs, and black square-framed glasses almost covered most of her face.

If Gao Liyang hadn't accidentally stepped on her just now, she would have been about to apologize, but she would have run away reflexively as if she had seen a monster.

But when she turned her head, her hair swung in an arc, and Gao Liyang saw the Band-Aid on her cheekbone.

Combined with what happened before, it's easy to guess.

Zhou Xi turned the ribs of the umbrella, most of his face was covered, only his tightly pursed lips were visible.

"Are you okay?" Gao Liyang hid under the umbrella. "I thought she transferred to another school."

After all, if I don't resist and stay in this school...

Zhou Xi sighed: "Maybe, I can't leave even if I want to. Who knows."

"It's her own choice, so don't think too much about it." Gao Liyang touched Zhou Xi.

"Of course, she chose not to have it. I'm not a pushover anyway."

"It's good that you think so. Just treat it as an episode. Anyway, people like this, hey!"

Zhou Xi drooped his eyelids. Was today just too unlucky? Why did he encounter so many people and things? It was so annoying.

"Um."

"I should have reminded you to come to the playground." Gao Liyang couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Zhou Xi was still listless.

Today is the sports day held by Yuxiu. According to usual practice, we should have gone for study tour after the midterm, but for some reason the school delayed it, and then it was postponed and inexplicably replaced by the sports day.

The date was well chosen. After May Day, in the liberal arts class where boys were rare, a genius like Gao Liyang was simply being steamed in a pot. Fortunately, he worked hard to find various reasons to strongly promote the competition, and then Meimei ran to Beibin.

However, there was a problem with Zhou Xi's personal file and she had to come back. Gao Liyang reluctantly came back with her a day earlier.

However, he did it secretly, secretly, because he didn't want to be discovered by the girls in his class and then be caught and used as a front.

"Well, then you have to consider yourself to be doing me a disservice. Lu Zisheng specifically asked me to go and cheer for him in the competition. If I don't go even though I'm already at my doorstep, he will @ me in the group for a hundred years." Zhou Xi said while looking at the competition area division map sent in the group.

"I'm not afraid. You're Sister Zhou from society. What are you afraid of?"

"Okay, if you're not afraid, go hide in the classroom now."

Gao Liyang held the umbrella firmly: "Tsk, I won't go. I'll be sunburned without your umbrella."

"Go find him quickly, I don't know if it's past the hour yet."

"Why are you in such a hurry? The school is so slow. We're waiting!"

"Hurry up, you two, come here!" Chen Yu waved at them while holding an umbrella.

Zhou Xi threw a lollipop over and said, "Master Yu, long time no see."

"That doesn't count. We chat on the phone every day." Chen Yu took the medicine and was just feeling the bitter taste in his mouth. Zhou Xi's candy came just in time. If only he hadn't called him Yu Daxian. The people around him thought he was some kind of deity and looked at him like a monkey.

"I say, you two are quite eye-catching."

Chen Yu expressed the thoughts of the people around him. It was indeed the iron rule of Yuxiu that anyone entering the campus must wear the school uniform, except in special circumstances.

These two, one black and one white, have always been the subject of many rumors in their grade, yet they still flaunt themselves in public. Do they really have nothing to fear from their own shadows when they are upright?

What is this behavior called? In the eyes of outsiders, these two are a couple, a real couple. In their eyes, these two are not a couple, but look like a couple.

"How is it, handsome confused you?"

Chen Yu rolled his eyes: "Will you die if you stop showing off?"

"Sister Zhou! Yangyang——"

Lu Zisheng had just changed his clothes from the gym and ran all the way over.

"It's bad..." Zhou Xi muttered and pushed Gao Liyang out.

Gao Liyang didn't expect someone to betray him behind the scenes, and Lu Zisheng just happened to catch him. What a jerk...

"Yangyang, you didn't see my wonderful performance. What a pity, what a pity!"

"Sister Zhou, don't say anything. It's been a long time since we last met. You look even more beautiful now. Come on, tell us if there's any gossip about Yali..."

Gao Liyang turned away from Lu Zisheng and pushed him to Chen Yu. He turned his head and looked at her unkindly: "Sister Zhou——"

Zhou Xi said with a forced smile: "Just a hug, good brother, that's all, don't you think?"

"Okay, Sister Zhou is right!"
