"Chu Zhang wants to take you home?" Zhou Peiyu was pleasantly surprised when he heard Wan Qiu's words. He raised his voice with joy at the end of the sentence, "Is he waiting at the school gate now?"
Wan Qiu took out his cell phone from his pocket and looked at the message on it which said Chu Zhang was on the way and told Wan Qiu not to worry.
Suddenly Zhou Peiyu looked behind Wan Qiu, and Wan Qiu was suddenly hit on the head by a book.
It didn't hurt, it just knocked Wan Qiu unconscious.
"You took out your phone so openly at school. Do you not want it anymore?"
The serious voice of the head teacher suddenly sounded from behind Wan Qiu.
Wan Qiu and Zhou Peiyu were both stiff all of a sudden. They were so excited that they forgot they were still in school.
Wan Qiu held the mobile phone in his hand and looked back at the head teacher, his brain had forgotten to think.
The use of mobile phones is not allowed in the teaching building of high school, and the class teacher has confiscated the phones of several students who secretly played with their phones during class.
The English textbook in the head teacher's hand hit Wan Qiu's head again.
"Why don't you put your phone away now after hearing this? Are you really planning on letting me take it away from you?"
Wan Qiu immediately put the phone in his pocket.
Then I realized what was happening. My heartbeat started speeding up a little bit and I became increasingly nervous and at a loss.
"Wow, teacher, you are so nice. Are you not going to accept it?" Zhou Peiyu couldn't help but want to praise the head teacher.
The head teacher turned the book in his hand and tapped Zhou Peiyu on the head: "Do you think I have forgotten that you slept every day in my class?"
“Teacher, how come you still remember so clearly what happened a year or two ago?!” Zhou Peiyu wailed, covering his head.
"You started to feel sleepy as soon as I started talking. I'm quite curious about how your English grades improved."
The head teacher sneered deliberately, but it seemed more like a joke than sarcasm.
"It's because of Yigui!" Zhou Peiyu praised Chu Yigui directly, "Yigui always gives me some key points for class. He takes good notes. I am Yigui's friend!"
"Ah, clinging to the top student in the grade." The head teacher laughed, "You are just being clever."
"It's fine as long as the grades are good." Zhou Peiyu couldn't help but joke with the head teacher.
The head teacher flipped the book over in his hand and said, "I just heard from you that Wan Qiu's elder brother is coming to pick him up today? Is it Chu Zhang? The big star?"
"Ah, yes, teacher, you know that too?" Zhou Peiyu couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he thought of Chu Zhang, "Wow, I haven't seen Chu Zhang for a long time."
"Teacher, can you please take a look at me?" The head teacher couldn't help but lean over.
Zhou Peiyu and Wan Qiu looked at the head teacher who did not find the proposal shameful at all.
"Shouldn't I be able to chase stars at my age?" The head teacher raised his eyebrows instantly.
"Yes, yes, of course!" Zhou Peiyu said immediately.
"I...I'll ask my brother." Wan Qiu was about to take out his cell phone in a panic to send a message to Chu Zhang, but was hit on the head by the head teacher again.
"Why doesn't this child learn his lesson all day long?" The head teacher couldn't help but sigh.
Wan Qiu was confused.
Zhou Peiyu couldn't help but cover his face: "Wan Qiu, cell phone, cell phone."
Wan Qiu suddenly reacted and put the phone back into his pocket.
The head teacher wanted to see Chu Zhang again, but he couldn't take out his mobile phone to contact Chu Zhang in front of the head teacher, so he didn't know what to do.
Looking at Wan Qiu's silly expression, the head teacher couldn't help but laugh.
His smile is different from that of young people, it feels more like an adult.
The fight between the two people seemed like teasing and tolerance.
Zhou Peiyu watched eagerly as the head teacher teased Wan Qiu, and then actually allowed Wan Qiu to take out his cell phone.
I don’t know why…
When I was taking Mr. Wei Ming's English class, I always felt that this teacher was a very boring person.
But now look...
It turned out to be just as Wan Qiu said, a very handsome male teacher.
So strange.
Can a person's feelings change so easily?
"Teacher, you are obviously very cheerful, why are you so lifeless during class?" Zhou Peiyu couldn't help asking.
The head teacher raised an eyebrow: "Are you saying that my class was too boring and that's why you wanted to sleep?"
Zhou Peiyu immediately sealed his mouth to prevent himself from saying anything wrong again.
The head teacher smiled and said, "Although you are my student, I am not your head teacher. Aren't students usually closer to their head teachers? It's you who has a filter, not me."
Zhou Peiyu listened to what the head teacher said and suddenly felt that this teacher's character was actually a bit bad.
Anyway, there is nothing wrong with his teaching.
I don’t know why Zhou Peiyu couldn’t help laughing when he thought of this.
Chu Yigui came out of the teacher's office and went downstairs and saw the three people in the classroom.
In the classroom illuminated by the afterglow of the afternoon sun.
The students who are about to become adults and the extremely inclusive teachers stood under the light shining through the glass, happily mingling together.
Wan Qiu lowered his head and sent a message.
The head teacher seemed curious and put a hand on Wan Qiu's shoulder, then tilted his head to look at Wan Qiu's cell phone.
At this moment, Chu Yigui suddenly took a step forward.
Anxious, having lost the calmness of the past.
At this moment, Wan Qiu raised his head as if he suddenly noticed Chu Yigui.
Her beautiful, clear eyes immediately only held him, and her eyebrows were filled with joy.
Wan Qiu took a step forward and leaned forward towards him.
The hand on his shoulder was released naturally, without any attempt to stay or stop.
When Wan Qiu stood in front of Chu Yigui, the strange, distorted and unreal world that seemed to be seen through floating bubbles was suddenly punctured.
Chu Yigui's impatience was suddenly calmed down.
Everything is back to normal.
Wan Qiu's voice rang out in front of him: "Yigui, big brother is at the door. I haven't seen big brother for a long time!"
"Yeah." Chu Yigui responded, his expression calm, "That's great."
Wan Qiu was really happy and actively shared it with Chu Yigui.
"The homeroom teacher said he also wanted to see Big Brother in person."
Chu Yigui saw Wan Qiu standing in front of him, turned his head and looked away from him.
He looked at the head teacher not far away.
"Class teacher, do you want big brother's autograph?" Wan Qiu asked.
The head teacher held the English book in his hand horizontally in front of him and said, "How about signing here? This is the thing I rely on for survival. It must be very inspiring to write here."
"Wow, teacher, as a middle-aged male fan you look quite fanatical." Zhou Peiyu couldn't help but complain.
"Don't poke fun at the teacher's age casually." The head teacher once again quarreled with Zhou Peiyu.
Chu Yigui watched quietly.
His eyes finally turned downwards and fixed on Wan Qiu.
Wan Qiu's eyes were fixed on the two people in the classroom.
But Wan Qiu's hand always naturally held the corner of Chu Yigui's clothes.
Chu Yigui held the back of Wan Qiu's hand and wrapped it around his hand.
Wan Qiu turned his hand in Chu Yigui's palm and placed it against his.
The strange combination of four people leaving school together attracted a lot of attention all the way to the school gate.
Wan Qiu held Chu Yigui's hand.
Chu Yigui also noticed that the head teacher was looking in the direction where they were holding hands intentionally or unintentionally.
At this time, Chu Zhang, who saw Wan Qiu coming out, got out of the car wearing sunglasses, opened his hands, lowered his body, and walked towards Wan Qiu.
Wan Qiu's eyes were like colorful bubbles in the sun, flashing with surprise.
Chu Zhang quickly stepped forward and hugged Wan Qiu tightly.
"Wow, are their brothers so close? Does the Chu family always express brotherly love like this?"
Only Chu Yigui listened to the class teacher's sigh.
Zhou Peiyu was already screaming in surprise.
"Chu Wanqiu has always been very clingy to you." The head teacher turned his head and looked at Chu Yigui, "I always thought he was only like this to you, is he like this to all his brothers?"
Chu Yigui's expression remained calm, as if he was indifferent to what the head teacher said.
At this time Wan Qiu turned around.
Chu Yigui heard Wan Qiu say, "Class teacher, do you want an autograph?"
Chu Yigui looked at and heard Wan Qiu calling, and immediately walked up to Wan Qiu as if he was closer to him.
The head teacher and Wan Qiu still maintained the distance that only acquaintances should have.
Chu Zhang took off his sunglasses slightly, looked at the head teacher, and skillfully took the pen and wrote his signature on the English textbook.
Everything seems to be going smoothly.
Just don't know why.
Chu Yigui heard the sound of the wind.
The sound was loud and rustling, as if the wind was wrapping him and telling him something noisily.
Chu Zhang was signing the English book of Wan Qiu's homeroom teacher. Because he was his younger brother's homeroom teacher, he wrote two pages in a flamboyant manner.
"Is that enough? Isn't there anyone in your family who wants an autograph?" Chu Zhang has always been very generous to people related to Wan Qiu.
"That's enough. I'm alone." The head teacher looked at Chu Zhang's signature on his book and smiled, "I feel like my book can appreciate in value right here."
Chu Zhang's eyes curved into a subtle arc behind his sunglasses: "I thought I was quite popular, but I didn't expect that no one around you likes me?"
"Not really. I'm not married and I don't have kids. I live alone, and my relationship with my colleagues isn't good enough to give them something like this. It's my problem. You're very popular."
The head teacher was also amused by Chu Zhang's personality and couldn't help but explain.
Chu Zhang raised the corner of his lips with a half-smile: "Your standards are too high? You haven't gotten married yet?"
"It's a personal choice. When I teach students, I always pay attention to their personal ideas." The head teacher responded.
Chu Zhang half-closed his eyes and held Wan Qiu's hand to prevent him from escaping.
Under his sunglasses, Chu Zhang had been secretly observing and quietly watching Chu Yigui not far away.
In Chu Zhang's eyes, Chu Yigui was just like a professionally trained sheepdog, quietly waiting for his master to give orders.
Chu Zhang took out a peripheral from the car and gave it to Zhou Peiyu who was standing beside him: "It's a pity that I only brought one. If I had known that you, the head teacher, liked it, I would have brought you one too."
"No, this is enough." The head teacher held up the English book in his hand, "I am no longer old enough to put posters on the wall."
"Really? This isn't a poster. It looks like something custom-made... I remember the company sold it for more than a thousand yuan. It seems like the cost is quite high?" Chu Zhang said half-jokingly.
The head teacher's face froze.
Zhou Peiyu was so surprised that he jumped up.
They had been delayed at the school gate for too long, and some students who had noticed the situation but were not sure had already looked in their direction.
Chu Zhang suddenly bent down, picked up Wan Qiu and put him in the car, and called Chu Yigui.
Chu Yigui took a step forward, passed by the head teacher and Zhou Peiyu, and got into the car.
Saying goodbye through the car window, Wan Qiu turned around and said goodbye to his class teacher and Zhou Peiyu outside the car window.
"That class teacher." Chu Zhang half leaned against the car window and thought carefully about the class teacher's expression. "Wan Qiu, are you on good terms with that class teacher?"
Wan Qiu was stunned.
"It's fine, right?" So far, Wan Qiu has not seen any impatience in the eyes of his head teacher.
"Compared to other students?"
Wan Qiu thought for a moment and said, "Same as other students."
"Really?" Chu Zhang looked at the extremely quiet Chu Yigui through the rearview mirror with a half-smile, a hint of teasing in his eyes, "Does Wan Qiu like that head teacher?"
"I like it." Wan Qiu answered Chu Zhang's words directly without any hesitation.
"Why?" Chu Zhang continued to ask, as if he was still dissatisfied.
"Everyone is very happy when he is with his classmates." Wan Qiu pursed his lips, as if he was thinking about the class time.
Chu Zhang looked at Chu Yigui's expressionless face, which looked as if he was completely happy with the prank.
“Like returning home.”
However, Wan Qiu suddenly followed up with this sentence.
This time, not only Chu Zhang, but even Chu Yigui was stunned.
"Why does he look like Chu Yigui?" In Chu Zhang's opinion, the head teacher was completely the opposite of Chu Yigui.
"Because everyone will be happy to see Yigui."
Wan Qiu would often run to Chu Yigui's classroom door and wait for Chu Yigui as soon as the class was over.
He always saw Chu Yigui being talked to by other classmates.
Both boys and girls like to talk to Chu Yigui.
"Yigui's classmates are happy to talk to him, and the teacher is also happy every time he asks him to do something." Wan Qiu put his hands on his legs and recalled carefully, "I feel that the head teacher is a bit like Yigui."
Chu Zhang raised an eyebrow.
"Is that so?" Chu Zhang leaned on the car window with one hand and stared at Wan Qiu.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Zhang's gaze shifted from Wan Qiu to Chu Yigui, whom he saw in the rearview mirror.
As calm as ever, as if nothing could shake him.
But Chu Zhang just felt that Chu Yigui must be pretending.
This guy was definitely touched by Wan Qiu.
Suddenly I found it a little funny. How could Wan Qiu comfort Chu Yigui almost instinctively?
"Does Wanqiu like everyone who looks like Yigui?" Chu Zhang asked.
"Yeah." Wan Qiu nodded.
"Are you so sure?" Chu Zhang raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Yigui is very outstanding, so people like Yigui must also be very outstanding." Wan Qiu said with certainty.
Chu Zhang felt that Wan Qiu's filter for Chu Yigui was eight hundred meters thick: "Does Yigui have no flaws?"
“……” Wan Qiu hesitated.
Then Wan Qiu shook his head.
"Is that so? Wan Qiu didn't know." Chu Zhang's expression was somewhat teasing and subtle. "Perfect people are rare. Wan Qiu, don't put too much pressure on Yi Gui. If Yi Gui is always so perfect in your eyes, Yi Gui will be very tired."
Wan Qiu was stunned.
He looked at Chu Zhang eagerly.
I don't understand what this sentence means.
But his intuition told him that this should be a very important word, like a piece of advice.
With Chu Zhang around, Wan Qiu had almost no chance to catch up with Chu Yigui.
Chu Zhang almost took play and relaxation to the extreme.
If it weren't for the class the next day, Chu Zhang would almost have dragged Wan Qiu out to play all night.
Wan Qiu went to bed on time, but Chu Yigui was still washing up before going to bed.
Chu Zhang half leaned against the wall, watching Chu Yigui complete a series of procedures.
Chu Yigui changed into simple home clothes and stood in front of Chu Zhang after finishing everything he needed to do.
Obviously, Chu Yigui knew very well that Chu Zhang probably had something to say to him.
"You look much better now than before."
Chu Zhang tilted his head. His height was about the same as Chu Yigui, and when they stood together, it seemed like there was no age difference between them.
Chu Yigui didn't say anything. Chu Zhang's words didn't require his response.
"How have you been since the end of your foster relationship?"
Chu Zhang turned and went to the living room, and Chu Yigui followed obediently.
"fine."
"Is there anything difficult?"
"No."
"Do you regret it?"
“No regrets.”
Chu Yigui sat quietly on the sofa, looking neither relaxed nor tense.
"Have you thought about which university to apply to?" Chu Zhang was unusually calm and serious in front of Chu Yigui.
"The university in this city."
"Have you ever thought about going to a better school for further studies?" Chu Zhang spread out his hands.
"No."
Chu Zhang stared into Chu Yigui's eyes. He could not see any wavering in these eyes which usually looked too silent.
“Recalling the past…” Chu Zhang turned his handsome face to the side.
He crossed his legs, supported himself with one hand on his legs, and stared at Chu Yigui with his chin lowered.
His smile gradually revealed a little subtlety, and his tone was still nonchalant: "How does it feel to be jealous?"
Chu Yigui's expression paused slightly, and he looked straight at Chu Zhang.
"It seems that you know that you are jealous?" Chu Zhang smiled and spread out his hands.
"This is not something worth discussing." Chu Yigui said.
"Indeed, after all, no one is willing to share their closest people with others." Chu Zhang said calmly, "Every time I see my little angel likes you so much, I feel so jealous, okay?"
Chu Yigui did not comment.
But his expression still didn't improve.
Chu Zhang's eyes swept over Chu Yigui.
In the pajamas he had changed into.
At this moment, his hand seemed to be just casually placed on the armrest of the sofa.
At this moment, he tilted his head slightly, revealing the lines of his neck.
They were all on guard, tense, and even unwilling to look directly at his proof.
"But if you put all your emotions and feelings on just one person, if you don't get enough feedback, you will become extreme."
Chu Zhang's words were very straightforward.
People in the Chu family have always had a strong filter for Chu Yigui.
Chu Zhang, who rarely interacted with Chu Yigui and even once was unwilling to have any contact with Chu Yigui, was more like a bystander and was more likely to notice some abnormalities.
"Even if the future is planned for Wanqiu, it will also put a lot of pressure on Wanqiu. Now Wanqiu doesn't understand, but he will gradually understand what you gave up for him in the future."
In the living room late at night, the only sound in the silence was the shallow breathing.
Chu Yigui did not refute.
Chu Zhang also knew that Chu Yigui would not refute.
"But I'm not saying this to discourage you. Even if you really devote yourself to Wan Qiu, our Chu family is enough for you to develop."
Chu Zhang's sudden change of subject brought the depressing space back to normal.
"It's not a bad thing that human desires can never be satisfied." Chu Zhang said with a smile, "The process of pursuing desires is also the process of human progress."
Compared to the robot-like Chu Yigui in the past, Chu Zhang has a better impression of Chu Yigui who is unable to hide his dependence on Wan Qiu now.
"Isn't it good to take the initiative to speak out?" Chu Zhang did not mean to mock Chu Yigui this time, "If it was Wan Qiu, he would usually be unable to resist and speak out. This is good for us and saves us a lot of trouble."
Chu Yigui looked at Chu Zhang again, but this time Chu Zhang no longer paid attention to Chu Yigui.
"It's okay for people to be a little selfish." What Chu Zhang really wanted to say was, "Pay attention to your own emotions. Suppressing them for too long will cause problems."
Chu Zhang knew that Wan Qiu liked Chu Yigui very much.
This kind of liking is not just because of peers, there are more complicated reasons why people like them cannot participate in it.
Even if it's out of love for Chu Yigui, even if it's out of consideration for Chu Yigui's contribution to their family over the years, Chu Zhang will still care more about Chu Yigui.
Being repressed by nature is a disadvantage.
"Thank you." Chu Yigui simply responded to Chu Zhang's concern.
"Go to bed." Chu Zhang didn't expect that a few words could make Chu Yigui feel better.
Just give some pointers occasionally and you will gradually understand the concept.
When you really make a decision, it will be affected.
Anyway.
Chu Yigui was just a fledgling that was about to reach adulthood, tender, shivering, and ready to fall off a cliff to learn how to fly.
Chu Yigui and Chu Zhang said good night and returned to their rooms.
He closed the door, but did not lock it.
Still half-covered as always.
The gap in the door seemed to be left there specially to allow people in need to come in.
Chu Yigui turned off the lights in his bedroom, and the small bulbs in the two handmade houses in his bedroom were glowing dimly.
The little house he and Wan Qiu made together remained quietly in the familiar place as always.
Chu Yigui did not go to bed, but just sat on the chair, looking at the two completely different little houses.
One is Japanese style, the other is French style. Wanqiu has no idea what style is. He just bought the one that looks good.
He likes all of them.
Whatever it is, he'll like it.
He likes anything that looks like Wan Qiu.
That was all he desired.
Chu Yigui did not refute Chu Zhang's words, nor did he intend to defend himself.
Chu Yi was very clear whether it was because of Wan Qiu’s choice or because of his own choice.
He didn't need to explain to anyone.
only……
The dim light seemed to bring him back to the time when school was over in the afternoon.
The sun sets, casting an orange glow.
In an empty classroom where most people have already left class.
The hand that touched Wan Qiu.
That movement of approaching Wan Qiu.
That brief, sudden feeling of anxiety and helplessness.
And the undeniable...
——How does it feel to be jealous?
