Chapter 24
When they returned to the kindergarten, it was almost half past five. Li Yang first warmed up the engine of the school bus, then went back to the dormitory and knocked on Zhou Du's door.
The owner of the room seemed to be awake. The door was quickly opened from the inside. Zhou Du showed no signs of sleeping and his hair was not messy.
"What's wrong?"
Li Yang returned the car keys to him and said, "I'm going to work part-time tonight."
"Yeah, I know."
Li Yang told him what happened tonight, and finally asked: "Can I call the police? Will they accept the report?"
After listening to this, Zhou Du said, "The country has an agency that specializes in handling such cases. Send the URL to my phone for IP location. The person should be able to escape later."
Li Yang then realized that he had caught so many ghosts on the other side that he would definitely be aware of it. He should race against time and quickly gave him the website address.
Zhou Du was already at the desk, making a phone call. His tall and slender figure stood there, his brows deep, his eyelashes drooped as he talked, and he would occasionally look up at him.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Du said, "Okay, the situation has been reported, and they will handle it."
"Then I'll go out in the car." Li Yang turned around and walked a few steps.
"Wait." Zhou Du saw him turn around and threw the car keys in his hand to him, "This car will be yours from now on."
*
The teachers had not yet told the children about going to Gangcheng, but Peng Nannan from the Tai Chi class secretly heard her teacher making a phone call at night and found out. Then, with that leaky mouth, the news spread throughout the kindergarten in less than five minutes.
Early in the morning, the children were running around and roaring like crazy.
Even the kids in the Lotus class were so reserved and excited that their hands were shaking.
“We can go out and play!”
"I'm going to ask my master to buy some delicious food to fill my travel backpack!"
The situation in the garden was out of control.
In the teacher's office.
"It was because we knew they would do this that we wanted to wait until the day before the trip to announce it. Now look what happened."
"Peng Nannan, that funnel mouth! How did he know about this?"
The music for class started, and the teachers walked out angrily with textbooks in their hands to maintain order.
"It's still half a month before the class starts. What are you guys doing? " Liang Tang patted Peng Nannan's butt lightly with a book, and Peng Nannan immediately sat down for class.
Li Yang made up for the day's sleep in the dormitory and did not attend the afternoon classes. He was only woken up by the alarm clock for sending the children home.
After turning off the alarm clock, Li Yang got up, washed up again, and then went to the car.
When she came back, Wu Qian said, "Master Li Yang, you slept well."
Li Yang hummed and took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator.
Wu Qian added: "Our leader didn't wake you up when he entered your room for class this afternoon. What were you doing last night? Didn't you sleep?"
Li Yang pouted but held it in. Only a few drops of water sprayed out and he hurriedly wiped them.
From now on, the door must be locked during the day.
He glared at Zhou Du who was sitting at the kitchen counter, "Don't come into my room."
Zhou Du was not ashamed, he just said: "Your alarm clock woke me up, so I went in and turned off the alarm for you."
"Then I thank you."
The child was very angry, but Zhou Du insisted: "No need to thank me, just kowtow to me again."
"跟" and "给" are somewhat similar, plus it's normal to say the wrong word. In short, Li Yang was thinking of the time when she kowtowed to him when they first met, not the kowtow she made in her wedding dress in the Lu family's illusion.
I was so angry that I wanted to blow up the paper figurine and hit him.
Li Yang took a few more sips of ice water. Liang Tang came up with the dishes, "It's time to eat!"
Everyone was busy serving the dishes, and ten people and one goblin sat around the dining table.
"Today's meal: braised prawns, sweet and sour pork ribs, pan-fried tofu, lettuce with oyster sauce..." Liang Tang kept listing the dishes.
The two teachers of different faiths have many taboos about eating, especially on days like the first and fifteenth of the lunar month. It is amazing that Liang Tang can find ways to update the menu.
Li Yang ate a bit too much, two bowls of rice piled high, plus he had been pissed off by Zhou Du before, so he started burping after the meal.
Li Dongqiang was a bad-mouthed person and he also burped continuously, so Li Yang slapped him hard on the head with two melon seeds, and then he burped again.
"What should we do?" Lu Xiaoguo said worriedly.
"It's okay, it will be fine soon." He said while burping.
By the time the teachers who took turns washing the dishes finished washing the dishes and the kindergarten teachers had finished digesting their food, only Li Yang was left, hiccupping for almost half an hour and showing no signs of stopping.
The teachers of the two classes decided to watch a horror movie. Lu Xiaoguo called Li Yang, "Master Li, come and watch it with us. It will be better if you get scared!"
Li Yang sat over there, but there was no seat left - four teachers were occupying the sofas, and another four teachers were sitting cross-legged on the carpet at their feet, holding snacks or pillows.
Li Yang had no choice but to sit in the bean bag at the side. Li Dongqiang also ran over and curled up at his feet. The master and servant watched the horror movie intently.
When watching the horror movie, the teachers from both classes were very willing to seek common ground and did not criticize the plot for being unreliable. Instead, they felt very involved and were so scared that half of their potato chips spilled - all thanks to the sound effects.
"belch."
"belch."
"belch."
Li Yang hiccuped slightly, and then heard laughter in his ear: "Hasn't stopped yet?"
Li Yang looked over and saw that another Doudoubag had sat down next to him.
Li Yang: "None of your business, hiccup."
Zhou Du approached him in the dim environment. It was so dim that the other eight people didn't notice them sitting on the side, immersed in the darkness.
No one will notice what they do.
"Li Yang, I also have memories after coming out of Fang Wanyun's illusion."
"We have worshipped heaven and earth, and also worshipped each other as husband and wife..." Zhou Du's breath brushed past his ears. Li Yang tilted his head. The man was already very close to him.
Li Yang's dark eyes, not afraid at all, met the man's deep brows.
Half a minute later, Zhou Du returned to his seat, retreating with a stern, oppressive and dangerous aura, and said to Li Yang with a smile: "Look, the hiccups are gone now."
Li Yang turned his head and said awkwardly: "Thank you and your family."
So annoying.
Li Yang's ears felt slightly hot.
The one and a half hour bad movie was too long. Zhou Du couldn't sit still and stood up and asked, "What kind of wine do you want to drink?"
Wu Qian and Lu Xiaoguo's eyes lit up: "Boss! You're mixing drinks again!"
"Um."
Zhou Du walked to the cupboard above the kitchen and took out a cocktail shaker and a few bottles of foreign wine.
Wu Qian and Lu Xiaoguo said in unison: "Long Island Iced Tea!"
Three of the Lotus Class teachers looked at her with disapproval. Lu Xiaoguo said, "I'm not a nun yet! No matter what, I'll drink it. I'm a local dog and I only drink Long Island Iced Tea!" Then she sang in Cantonese, "Give me a Long Island Iced Tea in exchange for half a night's sleep—"
There aren't so many rules for the Tai Chi teachers, except for Liang Tang, the other two teachers didn't order alcohol.
Liang Tang: "I just want pure wine, just give me a full glass."
Zhou Du asked: "Driver brother?"
"I won't drink. I have to drive tomorrow."
"Oh, our leader's cocktails are delicious! If you miss this time, you don't know when you'll get the next one! Don't worry about the alcohol, it will be gone when you wake up tomorrow!" Lu Xiaoguo urged, "You'll regret it if you don't drink it!"
Zhou Du also said: "Driver brother, can you give me a favor?"
Li Yang had never drunk alcohol, let alone ordered those weird-named drinks like in a bar. He was a little curious like a young man, so he said, "Then I'll do the same as them."
"Ok! Three cups of Long Island iced tea. Thank you, leader, for your hard work!" Lu Xiaoguo.
Zhou Du was extremely serious when mixing the cocktail, with his eyelashes slightly closed. He took out the ice cubes, added the liquor ounce by ounce, and then shook it, keeping his eyes on the shaker the whole time.
There was only one warm ceiling light on the bar, and the slanted light shone down, allowing the beautifully colored liquor to flow into the cocktail glass filled with ice.
After three cups of Long Island iced tea were made, Lu Xiaoguo picked up two cups and went back to the sofa to share them with Wu Qian. Only Li Yang sat at the bar.
Li Yang took a sip and found it delicious, so he gulped down half of it.
Zhou Du cleaned up his tools and turned around to find that half of his cup was gone. He couldn't help but said, "Drink slowly, this wine has a strong aftertaste."
Li Yang took another sip, and the water level dropped to half, and said, "Nothing more than that."
Don't listen to his advice, okay.
Zhou Du wiped his hands with a dry towel and watched the kid commit suicide.
When Li Yang had only a little more than one-fifth of the drink left, he was no longer fully sober.
He held his chin and looked at Zhou Du with half-closed eyes.
Zhou Du received his signal and poured him a glass of boiled water.
The black-haired young man held the cup with both hands and drank slowly, without any of his usual cocky attitude.
"Li Yang."
"Hmm?" Li Yang raised his head from the cup.
"You are drunk."
"I don't."
"I don't believe it." Zhou Du sat on a high chair, his hands on the edge of the bar, his back bent diagonally as he looked at him.
"If you don't believe me, just look and see if I'm drunk." Li Yang offered his face to him for a closer look.
His dark, clear eyes flashed with tiny lights, misty and wet, his skin was white and his lips were red. He was not only drunk, but also drunk, his slender neck was flushed with light red. After a few seconds, Zhou Du was defeated and walked away from him, "I'll take you back to your room."
Li Yang cooperated and jumped down from the chair. When he landed, he found that his whole body was floating.
Very happy.
Li Yang was in a good mood and did whatever he was told. Zhou Du supported him because he was afraid he would fall when he went upstairs.
"What happened to Master Xiao Li?" Lu Xiaoguo asked dazedly.
"I drank too quickly and got drunk."
Lu Xiaoguo laughed without disguising his laughter, "He is indeed a 19-year-old brat! This must be his first time drinking tonight!"
Li Yang had no way to refute. He was indeed only nineteen years old and it was indeed his first time drinking.
He was so angry that he called out to Li Dongqiang: "Donggua, beat her up!"
Li Dongqiang said he didn't dare to provoke Lu Xiaoguo.
Zhou Du pulled the man's head towards him and coaxed him, "It's okay, go back to the room first."
Li Yang was no longer angry since he couldn't see Lu Xiaoguo.
On the third floor, Li Yang went up one step and counted, "37, 38, 39, 40."
Then he said to Zhou Du with a serious face: "There are 40 steps in our dormitory."
"Yeah, that's right."
Zhou Du pushed open his door and led him to the bed.
He didn't smell of alcohol, so Zhou Du put him on the bed.
Li Yang lay on it in a spread-eagle position, slowly waving his arms and rubbing the cold sheets, closing his eyes comfortably, and turning his face to the side to rub it gently with his cheek.
The young man had black hair and fair skin. From a side angle, Zhou Du could see the neatly curled arc of his thick, raven-colored eyelashes, as well as the slightly exaggerated crease of his double eyelids at the end of his eyes. It was this crease that gave him that pair of beautiful and delicate peach blossom eyes.
Zhou Du found that his profile was too cute, with smooth, round, and gentle lines. The area from the tip of his nose to his lips and chin could only remind people of the cubs of various furry and cuddly creatures.
Zhou Du didn't know how long he had been looking at her, but Li Yang turned back in a daze and slowly opened his eyes. The folds of his double eyelids spread out beautifully, staring at Zhou Du: "What are you looking at?"
The dark eyes were wet and soft.
Zhou Du admitted that his heartbeat quickened a few beats. His throat rolled slightly without making a sound, "Look at you."
Li Yang reached out and grabbed the quilt, wrapped it around himself, and rolled around, wrapping himself up.
A muffled voice came from under the quilt: "I won't show it to you."
Zhou Du couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, good night."
