wooden stakes
"Yeah, come on, come on! Yangyang has finally invited us here, so don't be polite and give him a good meal!"
"I want an Australian lobster and a bottle of red wine!"
Gao Liyang snatched the menu and frowned: "Are you sick, Lu Zisheng?"
"vulgar."
Chen Yu commented on the meal, feeling nauseous at the thought of a certain word. He suppressed his discomfort and said, "The way you're eating, why don't you just go to the school gate and order some crayfish and a few beers? It's a waste of food."
"Hahaha!"
"Don't drink. It's evening and we still have classes." Gao Yuanyuan cracked the five-spice melon seeds she picked up in the lobby, holding the melon rind in one hand.
Zhou Xi was using a small pot to heat the tableware and rinse the chopsticks. She was a little surprised when Gao Liyang handed her the menu.
She came back to her senses and looked up and down: "Please add some sugar to the cucumber."
"Cucumbers with sugar?" Chen Yu glanced down at the message, then looked up again. "I think I've heard of it."
"Cucumbers with sugar!"
"How do you eat this?" Gao Liyang didn't understand, but he still ticked the box and took the cutlery that Zhou Xi had heated for him.
"Never eaten it?"
Gao Liyang shook his head: "Does it mean what it says?"
"I've eaten it!" Gao Yuanyuan raised her hand, her eyes squinting. "It's just cucumber slices mixed with sugar!"
Lu Zisheng tore off a piece of paper and crumpled it into a ball. "Haha, is it delicious? This is the first time I've heard of this way of eating it. Isn't it weird? I always eat it raw. My aunt has made stir-fried cucumbers, smashed cucumbers, vinegar cucumbers, and pickled cucumbers, but she's never made cucumbers with sugar!"
"You can try it." Zhou Xi wiped the water off his hands and set the tableware. "I have been eating cucumbers mixed with sugar since I was a child. I thought you guys had the same."
"Wow, this is the first time I've heard of this!"
Gao Liyang threw the menu to Lu Zisheng: "They have just released it."
He then asked Zhou Xi: "So, you picked cucumbers in the cafeteria and didn't eat them because of this?"
"Yeah, hot cucumbers taste... I can't get used to them. I eat them cold in the summer."
"It's delicious! I tried it once when I was traveling there! Lu Zisheng, you guys can try it!"
"There's really no such recipe in Wencheng." Gao Liyang thought that when Xiao Xiaoyu came back, he could try making it for her to try, hoping that she wouldn't spit it out.
In the private room, only one person was seriously eating at the revolving dining table. Le Cheng was sprawled on the small sofa, bored to death, and finally decided to pull out his phone.
"Sister, are you there? I'll help you fight monsters online. Do you want to come?" Le Cheng let go of her hand, converted the voice into text, and sent it out.
"No, Ah Yan, you're looking for girls!" Tong Chengzhou sat on the ground, playing games. "I haven't even killed any monsters yet, so bring your brothers along! Don't forget your friends for the sake of a beautiful woman!"
Le Cheng rolled his eyes and threw a pillow over. His clothes were loose, revealing a large area of skin below his neck. "You're crazy! I'm the eldest sister and I have a boyfriend. Do you think everyone is like you?"
"Holy crap? Xiaosan, you're willing to humble yourself for love. Didn't you just say you like men? How come you changed your mind so quickly?"
Bai Yuan was chewing the fresh fish when he suddenly stopped and said, "Tong Chengzhou, you're bringing up something irrelevant!"
Le Cheng rubbed his hair in annoyance and closed his eyes. He always felt that someone's face and voice were lingering in his mind, and the feeling was getting stronger and stronger.
"Sister, your uncle..."
"Ah? You scolded me!"
"Big sister ID!"
"Bang!"
Le Cheng slammed the door shut, saw his phone light up, and walked towards the toilet on the floor.
"Hey, what would you like to drink? Hurry up!" Lu Zisheng gestured with the menu.
Chen Yu glanced at the drinks page and shook his head: "Water will be fine."
"Same." Gao Liyang and Zhou Xi answered in unison.
"Oh my god, what are you three talking about? Water? Is this real?!"
"No, you guys are going to ascend to heaven, and you don't drink beverages now?" Lu Zisheng quickly hooked up a Sprite and Coke for himself.
"I want to drink! I want Wangzai milk."
Lu Zisheng's eyes widened and he glanced at Gao Yuanyuan: "What? What did you say? Gao Yuanyuan, are you serious?"
"Wangzai."
"It's absolutely impossible, you three, can you do this?"
"It's all pigments, not very tasty." Chen Yu drank a sip of boiled water.
Gao Liyang originally wanted to argue, but after thinking about it, he felt that Chen Yu’s words were to the point and perfect.
"Haha, you have grown up, really grown up, and can no longer experience the joy of pigments!" Lu Zisheng was not stimulated enough, so he ticked two more.
"I'm going to the bathroom first. The food is ready, you guys eat first."
"Don't worry, Chen Yu, I'll eat them all if you don't come back!" Lu Zisheng gritted his teeth and kindly threw the wrapping paper over.
The corridor was very bright. Le Cheng rubbed his eyes and accidentally clicked on Mei Ni Da Ye's homepage. Suddenly, he remembered Mei Ni Da Ye.
He remembered that he met her in a match, and later she shamelessly came to add him. He said that he didn't bring girls, but the other party said that she had a boyfriend and just wanted to practice as a support and find someone to practice with.
Later, as they played more often, Le Cheng started to like using the microphone. One day, a very cute little voice suddenly came out of his phone, which scared him so much that he almost dropped it. He found out that it was my uncle using a voice changer. He was disgusted, but she was very happy. Whenever they played together, they used this little voice every day. Maybe my uncle's voice was low and not as cute as a human, so he got used to it after hearing it so many times, until...
"Hurry up, the flowers I'm waiting for have all withered and they haven't come yet!" Le Cheng poked the fancy avatar.
One time, your uncle played a bet with him, and when he lost, he was punished with a permanent targeted output. Every time he sent a message to him or used the microphone, he would call him brother. Coupled with that loli voice, Le Cheng felt like he was going to die.
But your uncle is full of evil taste, and he has to call me once, so in the game it becomes two calls, every time, brother, brother...
"Depend on!"
Le Cheng recalled what happened in the game and felt so embarrassed that he wanted to smash his phone. Before doing so, he had to cancel his Big World account and then delete it.
Suddenly I remembered that someone also lost a bet and reluctantly called him "brother".
"You, why are you here?"
When Le Cheng heard the voice, his heart skipped a beat. Even if he turned into ashes, he could still hear it. He didn't dare to look up. If they met again, he didn't even want to call her name.
Le Cheng calmly looked at someone wearing Yuxiu's school uniform. The person looked decent in the Yuxiu uniform, but he looked skinny, even thinner than before.
Le Cheng opened his eyelids and found someone holding a screen horizontally with headphones on, without even looking up, sending a message right in front of him.
"What do you care about me? Why, you can be here, but I can't be here."
Le Cheng stared at Chen Yu closely, then slowly raised his head, but there was only indifference in his eyes.
"Do you have to talk like this?"
"Oh, what am I like? How do you expect me to be? How should I behave towards someone like you? Aren't you a very good runner? Why don't you hide when you see me?"
Le Cheng had been suppressing his anger for months, but it all came out in just one or two words when he saw Chen Yu. How could he hold it back? He was so angry that he wanted to bite this ungrateful person to death.
"I didn't. Never mind. I can't explain."
Le Cheng felt that Chen Yu was very good at speaking. He spoke lightly, but each word hit home, completely clearing himself of all charges. He also looked very tired. Was he some kind of monster? Chen Yu really didn't want to see him again.
He was so angry, so angry. Chen Yu was so brave. He was the first person in the world who dared to make him so angry. He was like a mute. He hid everything and didn't tell him. He was obviously so weak and the other person was calling him in his dream, but why couldn't he utter a word of truth? He was just a cheapskate, so cheap as to die. He didn't give up and kept asking. The other person wouldn't tell him even if he was beaten to death, but he just wanted to know clearly and get the answer. Why, why.
Le Cheng put his hand under the sensor, and cold water splashed through his sweaty hands. He looked up and found that someone was still looking at him like a wooden stake, not saying a word.
He frowned angrily, swung his hands, and bumped into someone's shoulder.
Then he heard Chen Yu groaning. He deserved it. It was so painful. He didn't even cry out in pain. Mute, mute, damn mute. Le Cheng didn't know why, but he felt more and more wronged the more he thought about it.
After Chen Yu and the others left, he wiped the water splashed on his face with the back of his hand, supported his shoulders, and looked pale in the mirror.
When Gao Liyang entered the classroom with his bag, there were relatively few people in the classroom. People were just sleeping, and someone had left some things on the table. Gao Liyang hung the bag on the back of the chair with an expressionless face, gathered the things together, and put them on an empty table outside the classroom.
“…”
"Something happened!"
"Something happened!"
"Li Li, what's going on? Stop making assumptions!"
"Something really bad happened!"
It was cool in the morning and the sun was not yet shining. No one in the classroom wanted to start studying yet, so they were enjoying the last ten minutes before class.
"This time, a senior really jumped! They've blocked the way over there, and no one's allowed in. It seems they're telling the seniors to go back now because it's a day off. I was so scared! Someone said they saw it..."
Fake is one thing, real is another. There was only Li Li's voice in the classroom. Everyone had only heard of this kind of thing. When it really happened to them, how could they not be scared?
"Well, no way, didn't someone just think about that two days ago? The school should have tightened up management, right? How is it possible..."
"Li Li, this is no joke. I'm not crying wolf. Is what you said true or false..."
"real!"
"But, the college entrance examination is only a few days away, how can we..."
"It's over, something really bad has happened!"
"Maybe the notice will come soon, and we may also have a holiday, and it will take many days..." Li Li drank a sip of water in a daze, and the next second he ran to the toilet in nausea.
Zhou Xi followed Li Li out of the classroom and wanted to ask him, but the bell rang.
She turned back, stared at the round head next to her and the beautiful hand on her neck for a long time, and finally knocked on the table.
"It's time for class."
Gao Liyang took a breath, having been successfully woken up. His eyelids half covered his eyes and he yawned, "So soon! What did you read this morning?"
"hearing."
"Have you had your soy milk?"
Zhou Xi immediately put down his pen and pushed it away: "No."
"I drank it. I'm so sleepy. I can't really cheer up without something disgusting. Ha!"
Gao Liyang pinched the bridge of his nose, and without pulling out the straw, he directly opened the lid and took a few sips.
"Ahem! Okay, okay, I'm awake."
"Did you hear what Li Li just said?" Zhou Xi took out an apple from the drawer. "Gao Yuanyuan gave it to me. I put it in my drawer because I was afraid you would throw it away."
"It's really unbreakable. The apple has become a spirit. But it's still delicious and crisp!"
"What is it?"
"Where is my weekly report? Is it with you?" Gao Liyang bit an apple in his mouth, freed his hands, bent down and searched in the drawer for a long time, but couldn't find it. He looked at his dear deskmate eagerly.
Zhou Xi was surprised and moved the weekly report to the middle. He then ticked option C of the first question with a black pen. "You blame me again. You didn't keep it well. You write it yourself. You'll know later. It's not a good thing."
"Then I won't listen. It's so early in the morning, I'll take my time. I'm used to this. Test papers and homework books are likely to be embezzled by my deskmate. Give me the pen. Your pen is very useful."
No one noticed what the two people were doing in the back, and they were very casual, talking to each other and listening with ease.
Gao Liyang is used to circling and underlining key words in the questions, and occasionally complaining about the intentions of the question setter. He likes to set traps and insists that the two of them talk a lot before revealing the correct answer at the end of the conversation. Of course, he will scold the male voice reading the listening test, thinking that his bubbling voice is very nice.
Zhou Xi also had the habit of circling key words. The pen was with Gao Liyang, and the circled words were basically the same as what she thought. She saved a step and freed up a few seconds to complain with him.
During a conversation, she would catch key words, and was sometimes surprised that Gao Liyang's speed was comparable to hers.
Gao Liyang really likes this feeling. They are evenly matched and have tacit cooperation, but while others are working hard, the two of them can hide behind each other and have a relaxed happy chat.
After the twenty-five listening questions were played, a long and cheerful ending music played, and then the answer was read out by the announcer.
"Full marks! How about that? Easy, right? Zhou Shen, who controls the answers."
"Stop praising me so much, this is just the beginning..." Zhou Xi had just finished speaking when the teacher came.
Just as Li Li predicted, they really had a vacation. They didn’t know when it would start, so they had to wait for further notice.
The small stalls at the door were almost closing when the students were doing morning reading, but after hearing the news, they came back one after another.
The pot rises and falls, clicks, the gas switch is turned off, the hot fried noodles come out of the pot, are served into a plastic bowl, the lid is closed, a pair of chopsticks are thrown in, the money is collected, and the process repeats over and over again.
"Bye-Bye!"
"Bye!"
"be safe."
The bus at the school gate was packed. Zhou Xi stood in the corner, not in a hurry to squeeze in. He lowered his head to look at his phone. It was not Wu Yi.
His heart settled down. There were all kinds of stories, all spread out in a mess. It was impossible to tell whether they were true or false. Another bus came and Zhou Xi turned off his phone.
985, even the license plate gives hope. Is this really a beautiful blessing, or is it a pressure that requires constant effort?
Zhou Xi swiped his student card, but was squeezed out and couldn't get in, so he could only stand next to the card machine. Through the transparent door, the driver stood up and shouted loudly, "Come in a little further, come in a little further." The air conditioning had no effect at this moment. It was hot, really hot.
Finally, the door closed, and the dust raised was clearly visible in the sunlight. The 985 bus, carrying a full car of students, slowly drove to various stations.
“Ding ding!”
"drop!"
The car braked suddenly and everyone in the car fell forward. Zhou Xi grabbed the pole next to her. Someone stepped on her shoes and someone hit her back.
There was no apology, only countless swear words. Zhou Xi lowered his head, and there was a yellow footprint on his white canvas shoes.
…
After opening the door and hanging the keys on a row of hooks, Zhou Xi found slippers in the shoe cabinet and put them on. He found a cup on the table and poured water in it. Before he could drink it, he looked at his phone and the sky fell.
All the teachers in the class group heard the news and started competing with each other. They posted photos of test papers, 99+, and pinned them to the top of various groups. They printed, took photos, punched in, and corrected them. The life and death were clearly arranged.
Zhou Xi's shoes were still warm after she squeezed into the bus. She was sweaty and sticky and didn't want to move at all. She sighed, packed up the pictures and threw them to Yang Jinyang.
"Brother, I'm counting on you. Please help me print it out. I'm really grateful for your kindness." After sending the voice message, Zhou Xi turned off his phone and went back to his room to take a shower feeling refreshed.
"Oh my god! There are so many, the printer will catch fire. Yang'er, have you violated the heavenly law?"
Yang Jinyang calmly drank a sip of coffee and reached out to touch the hot paper. The printer was still rumbling and paper kept falling.
"How's it going, my sister, the test paper, is it too much?"
"Oh my goodness! So many! How old is your sister? Tsk, so pitiful." Doctor Tong swung his arms. He had just finished his ward rounds and finally took a break.
"I'm in the first year of high school. I didn't expect this. I really didn't expect this. My sister is so rude. She said I could print it myself. It would cost one dollar per page. It's too much. So, I came to take advantage of this. This printer is a waste!"
"This is called plucking the wool, ugh, I can only say that my sister is very smart. No one said you are too tearful about this thing." Doctor Tong touched his body, feeling something strange, and patted Yang Jinyang: "But don't worry, I won't tell anyone, give me a pen and I will shut up!"
"No! Forget about the pen my wife gave me. I'll give you 2 yuan. Go out of the hospital, turn left and walk 100 meters to buy one."
Yang Jinyang had just received 50 yuan from Zhou Xi, and he didn't feel bad about spending it. The remaining money could be used to buy two cups of milk tea, one for him and one for his wife. Well, considering that his sister had to write so many test papers, he could pay for it out of his own pocket and buy her a cup of coffee after get off work so that she would have enough energy to study at night.
"Tsk! Why do you treasure it so much? Show off every day. Don't you know how generous Dr. Fu is? He just gives one away casually. They're only 2 yuan, and I'm only 50 cents short of money to buy a meat bun. How stingy!" Dr. Tong took out two test papers. They were so hot that he couldn't open his eyes. The light of knowledge made him unable to open his eyes.
"The memory of death is beginning to attack me. This topic looks so familiar. How did you do it? Come, Yang'er, take a look."
"I don't know how. Don't look at me. I've already finished them all!" Yang Jinyang put a stack of brand new test papers in order and was about to find a bag to throw them in, but a group of people came over at the door after smelling the smell.
"Hey! What is this? Let me see!"
"What?"
The test paper in his hand was snatched away like a treasure, and they took one each. With the enemy outnumbering him, Yang Jinyang decisively turned around and sat down, crossing his legs and spinning the chair.
"Oh my god, this is such an ancient thing, it must be from 800 years ago, how come it has no effect on me at all!"
"I can still understand it in my lifetime!"
"Hey, that's wrong. When your child is this old, won't our famous Dr. Jiang be able to give him some tutoring? Hahahaha!"
"I don't want to! I'm getting fed up with my daughter's third-grade homework. I'd rather have a few more surgeries than teach her. My wife wanted to save her, but she was practically pissed off. It's such a struggle! The child is like a cow!"
"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law!"
"Hey, I remember this question, I think it was done like this!"
Some people have already started trying.
"You guys can write whatever you want. Don't be stingy with your golden hands. It's best to help my sister finish it. I'm sure she will thank all the uncles and aunts!"
Yang Jinyang was also a carefree person. He watched a group of people gathered together with pens and draft paper, reminiscing about their youth and joking with each other. It was much more interesting than those bearded men abroad.
However, it seems that these test papers are really stimulants for this group of people, making him miss his student days. There is a student at home, so he is very familiar with the test papers.
"Pah! Uncle, aunt, brother, sister! How can there be such a big difference? Nonsense!"
"He's only in the first year of high school, maybe 17. You're already in your thirties or forties, and you have so much more experience than Dr. Yang. It's no wonder he calls you uncle!"
"Hahaha!"
"Wait a minute, your handwriting is so bad, you've written too many orders, you crawl, can you still write a single stroke? If you tell others about it, it will be so embarrassing. After all, I graduated from a prestigious university, and you can't even write a single word!"
"I really don't know how to do it. I feel like this test paper is like a golden hoop. As soon as I put pen to paper, all those rules and regulations restrict my performance..."
"What's wrong?" Fu Xuanhua ran over to find Yang Jinyang at noon. Before he reached the door, he heard a group of people shouting from a distance.
Yang Jinyang quickly pulled Fu Xuanhua out: "A bunch of grown men are reminiscing about their youth. Ignore them. Come on, I'll buy you some milk tea! Iced!"
"Oh, you know how to control me. Finally you allow me to drink something cold, and add an ice cream." Fu Xuanhua glanced at his phone. There was still enough time.
"Hey! You've been eating well these past few days, so I'm giving you a reward. By the way, how about coming to my house for dinner tonight? My parents are not home, but my sister is home, and my dad even called me to ask me to make her something delicious."
Fu Xuanhua counted the days on his fingers and said, "I'm on duty tonight. No, why is Xiaoxi back? Isn't it her month-end holiday yet?"
"Okay, then I'll bring it to you. Whatever you want to eat, Chef Yang will serve you!" Yang Jinyang hugged the person, and ignored the teasing looks from passers-by, looking very proud.
"Hello! Hello, Dr. Fu, Dr. Yang!"
"good!"
"My dad said something happened at school, so the students are on holiday. As a big boss, of course he has to work overtime!"
"What's up?"
"I'm telling you..."
