about love

Chapter 45
The two got back together, as sweet as ever, but small frictions continued.Liu Guang is easy to throw people away, a few months in a flash, another year.Before the holiday was over, Zhou Shi began to pack his luggage with great interest, as if returning home.Wei Qing said, "Zhou Shi, the end of the year is approaching, and I'm very busy, so I may not have time to take you home. Why don't you stay at my house this year for the New Year?"

Zhou Shi casually bit the straw, but didn't drink it, and said, "You are busy with your work, I can go home alone." She didn't ask him to deliver it.Wei Qing said: "You have a big suitcase of luggage, how can you carry it? During the Spring Festival travel season, there are so many people, how uncomfortable it is to squeeze in and out. After this period of time, it will be the same when I take you home again. It's so worry-free." It saves effort and is comfortable." Zhou Shi insisted on booking the train ticket at school by himself, and he was worried, fearing that she would have an accident on the road alone.

Of course Zhou Shi was not happy: "It's okay, didn't I go home like this before? As long as there are more people, I can handle it alone." Wei Qing said angrily: "You don't think it's okay, that's because you have been with Li before. Mingcheng went home together, and he helped you carry this and that. You try it alone, you can’t carry such a big piece of luggage on the platform.” Zhou Shi glared at him: “It’s like I’m talking to a weak daughter Like a lady, isn't it just a luggage? I can't handle it? At worst, I will take a taxi back home."

Wei Qing said: "Luggage is a small matter, I am worried about you. You are a girl, you are young, and you are easy to bully at first glance. What if you encounter thieves or perverts along the way?" Zhou was impatient: "Where are you? There are so many thieves, just pay attention at all times, you can still prevent others from being thieves? If you really encounter a pervert—hehe! I will kick him down. Oh, by the way, every girl in our class has 'Wolf spray', hee hee."

Zhou Shi recently had an incident at school. A girl tried to approach her at night and came back through the back door. She was almost insulted.Fortunately, it was not too late at that time, the guard on duty at the back door vaguely heard the cry for help, and rushed over immediately, the girl was so frightened that her face paled and she cried loudly.The school takes this incident as a typical example to educate everyone to pay attention to safety when going out, especially girls.The girls in Zhou Shi's class were very moved and filled with righteous indignation, so they took out the class fee and gave each girl a bottle of "anti-wolf spray".

Wei Qing shook his head and said, "You are still inexperienced. If someone really wants to do something to you, just rely on your slow movements, and you still have a chance to resist? Be good—something happened on the road, and the gain outweighs the loss. I Knowing that you want to go home, I will take you home to pay New Year's greetings to the head office in the first month, right?" As long as the New Year's Eve is over, he will be free.

Zhou Shi was unhappy: "Why should I go home to celebrate the New Year? I want to go home to celebrate the New Year!" Inexplicably, she hasn't married him yet, okay?Wei Qing carefully wiped off the drink residue on her lips, and coaxed her: "Zhou Shi, be obedient, it's the same to stay at my house for the New Year. Your father will not disagree. My parents have asked you for a long time. Will you stay for the New Year? They treat you as their daughter-in-law, so they naturally hope to have a family reunion and have a happy New Year's Eve dinner. You can just go home after the New Year? Then you can do whatever you want."

Zhou Shi said in embarrassment: "Wei Qing, I know the kindness of your parents. But if I don't go home, my father and he will celebrate the New Year alone. It will be very desolate." Wei Qing asked: "Then you will marry me later. What should you do if you are dead? You can’t think about running home every day, can you? I didn’t let you go home, what I mean is, you spend New Year’s Eve at my house first, and I will accompany you home on the first day of the first month. Live until school starts. This is reasonable and serves two purposes, so what’s wrong with that.”

Zhou Shi still didn't want to, but he couldn't understand the reasoning, so he poked the drink vigorously with a straw and remained silent for a long time.Wei Qing scratched her cheek: "Okay, don't be upset, let's make it so. I will take you to the temple fair during the Chinese New Year. There are many large-scale temple fairs in Beijing. You haven't seen them yet, right? They are very lively." Until Wei Qing Qing sent her back to the dormitory, but she said, "I still want to go home." She turned and went upstairs.

After being listless for several days, Wei's mother specially called her to ask her not to go home, but to stay after the Chinese New Year before leaving.It was hard for Zhou to refuse, so he obediently passed by.

Zhou Shi was very troubled. She was not married yet, so there were so many things going on!Thinking about it, she was really a little scared, which made her a little absent-minded in teaching the students, and let them practice watercolor painting by themselves.Ning Fei sat alone in the corner, quickly scribbling with a pen in his hand.There are girls in the class who come to strike up a conversation, but he also ignores them, and some girls who don't give up ask him if it's right to draw like this. He is very impatient, and dismisses it with a few cold words.Zhou Shi looked at it and said it was cool, but the rejection was really straightforward.

She has to learn a little bit, she has to reject Wei Qing like this, he has gone too far recently, and she can hardly stand it anymore.She hadn't seen Ning Fei come to class for several weeks, and when she saw him today, she thought to herself that he probably wanted to get rid of his parents.Children are also quite helpless, these things can only be accepted.

Zhou wanted to complete the tasks assigned during the winter vacation early, so that he could play to his heart's content during the vacation, so he stayed late in the painting class for the past two days.It was already seven o'clock in the evening, and seeing that Ning Fei hadn't left yet, he couldn't help but say, "Aren't you going home for dinner?" Ning Fei said without raising his head, "You haven't eaten, either?"

Zhou felt that it was really difficult to talk to him. Could it be that all adolescent children are so difficult to deal with.She remembered that she had always been very obedient before, and occasionally wanted to get angry, wandered around the street, and finally went home obediently. She really didn't have the talent for rebellion, so she didn't know what to do.So he said, "It doesn't matter to me, I'm used to it. You are a boy and still developing, so you are more likely to be hungry."

Ning Fei suddenly looked up at her, seemed to find it funny, and said, "Why do you always put on the expression of a teacher? Don't you feel tired? I know you are just 20 years old, and you are still a student." Zhou Shi gritted his teeth and looked at him. , be a little polite, okay?After all, she is also called "little teacher".Although angry, of course you can't care about him like him, raised your head and said: "I was born like this, there is nothing you can do if you don't like me."

Feeling strange, he said, "Who told you that I was 20 years old? I'm almost graduating from graduate school, and I'm only 20 years old! 20 years old is a long way from me, and I wish I was only 20 years old." No. Well, anyway, once I pass my 20th birthday, I can't come back, of course it's far away.She was afraid that students would bully her because she was young, so she never told anyone how old she was.

Ning Fei held back her smile, raised her eyebrows and asked, "You are about to graduate from graduate school, so how old are you?" Zhou thought for a while and said, "25." Most of the students in her class looked like 24.The entry age of art students is generally relatively old, and it is not uncommon to retake the exam once or twice.Someone in their art department is a whole round older than Zhou.

Ning Fei let her open her eyes and tell nonsense, saying: "I can't tell that you are 25 at all, I thought you were only eighteen." Zhou Shi said seriously: "Don't go around telling people that I am already 25." Ah, a woman's age is a secret. I can even be your aunt, and I have to be polite and call you 'teacher'." Zhou felt that he had finally raised his head in front of this kid.

Ning Fei rubbed his nose and asked, "Do you like being a teacher so much?" Zhou Shi asked, "What's wrong with being a teacher? It's relaxing and enjoyable. My mother is a teacher. When it comes to Teacher's Day, it's so beautiful. All the students in the class sent her flowers, and the former students sent her greeting cards, which filled the table, and I was happier than my mother.” Then she concluded, “Being a teacher is not only a very sacred thing, thing, and it’s a promising business.”

Ning Fei was indifferent to her impassioned statement, and when she finally finished speaking, she nodded and said, "Then, please, 'teacher', help me think about which school is better for me to go to?" It's time to start, registration is already underway.

Zhou Shi was unambiguous, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said: "The Central Academy of Fine Arts and the China Academy of Art are both good. Of course, the Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts is also good. I didn't pass the exam when I wanted to. However, I think no matter whether it is from The Central Academy of Fine Arts is the first choice in terms of reputation at home and abroad or the strength of its teachers. The Central Academy of Fine Arts is the only higher art academy directly under the Ministry of Education, and there are also a lot of talents there. Your painting skills are very good and you are very talented , as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to pass the exam.” She thought that if she took the exam for another year, she might be able to enter the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

Ning Fei stood up, looked at her and said, "I'm hungry, let's find a place to eat and talk." Zhou felt that it was a major issue in his life, and he should really think about it.So she said generously: "Let's go." She planned to treat guests and said: "There is a restaurant in our school cafeteria, which is clean and delicious. Why don't you go to my school? It's not far anyway." The most important thing is cheap, because It is a cafeteria restaurant, which is nearly half cheaper than the restaurants outside.

Every time Wei Qing took her out to eat, it was always the kind of expensive restaurant. She felt that the dishes were not very good.

When the two walked to the intersection, Zhou Shi smelled a scent. It was a small stall at the intersection. The fragrance was overflowing, making people salivate.But she hesitated, because Wei Qing had always taught her not to eat casually from the stalls, it was unclean and easy to get sick, so he would take her to eat whatever he wanted to eat.After his tireless lectures, she was somewhat affected, and she was afraid that he would be unhappy if he knew about it.

After walking a few steps in a row, he looked back frequently, obviously very excited.Ning Fei, who was walking behind, suddenly stopped and asked the boss for a bunch of kebabs.Zhou tried his best to comfort himself, forget it, it's what children eat, so he swallowed and stood aside to wait for him.

Ning Fei handed her the mutton skewers, and she was startled: "You don't want to eat?" Ning Fei put it in her hand and said, "Don't you want to eat it?" He is a boy, how can he eat these things, but Knowing that the girls in my class love these baked and fried street food.

Zhou Shi held it in his hand with a smile on his face, still saying politely: "Oh, thank you so much—you really don't want to eat it?" Since you bought everything back, it would be a pity not to eat it.She ate with gusto along the way, and immediately warmed up to him, and said vaguely: "Ning Fei, I think you should be admitted to the Central Academy of Fine Arts, you are so talented, much better than me—"

Ning Fei walked without looking sideways, and stared helplessly at Zhou Shi who was walking in front, why is someone so noisy?It's not quiet to eat something!
Zhou Shi recommended a few signature dishes and ate them all. He was really hungry, and his appetite was whetted by the mutton skewers.I didn’t think about the business until I was full, and said a little embarrassedly: “Have you thought about which school to take? Wiping his mouth, he said, "I haven't made up my mind yet, but I will make up my own mind."

Zhou Shi nodded: "Well, okay. You can figure it out, take your time, there is still a while, don't worry, if you work hard this month, you will be fine." In fact, what she said was as if she hadn't said anything. , is purely high-sounding boilerplate.

When beckoning to pay the bill, Ning Fei stood up first and took out his wallet.The waiter was stunned for a moment and said, "Student, we don't accept cash here. You can go to the information desk at the door to buy tickets and then pay the bill." Zhou Shi patted him on the shoulder and smiled and said, "You're welcome, teacher, you should do it. .” As he spoke, he took out his school canteen card.

Ning Fei was a little bored, probably because of what happened just now.Zhou Shi comforted him: "Although I am a student, but I can make money, of course I should invite you." Walking downstairs, Zhou Shi said: "I will send you out of school, you go home by yourself, don't hang out outside, let Parents worry."

Ning Fei asked, "Where do you live?" Zhou Shi pointed out, "The building diagonally opposite has a very artistic name—'Princess Building', because all the residents live there are girls, hehehe—— "I couldn't help laughing out loud.She also just heard from Lu Dan that the building they lived in was called the "Princess Building". Zhou Shi laughed when she heard it. It's just a crappy place, there's nothing you want, and the bathroom keeps having problems, so it's called the "Princess Building"!

Ning Fei said lightly: "Then you go back first." Zhou Shi looked at him following behind him in surprise, and said, "You are going in the wrong direction, you can't go out there. Only the south gate is open at night." Embarrassed, he said, "It's polite to send girls back."

Zhou Shi laughed out loud on the spot, and said jokingly, "Okay, Mr. Ning Fei, I'll trouble you."Ning Fei, who was so indifferent, was actually blushed by her smile, and suddenly said, "When I went to the teacher's office this morning, I saw your resume on the desk, and there was a copy of your ID card on it." Zhou Is it a little strange why he suddenly said this?Just say: "Oh, you can see it when you see it, it's all right."

When she returned to the dormitory, she suddenly realized what he was referring to, and blushed immediately, feeling a little embarrassed for telling such a lie.It turned out that he had known for a long time that he had been talking nonsense, and she was a little surprised that he could bear it and not expose it.If it was me, I would have said it already.Really don't underestimate him, a half-grown kid, the city is so deep, today's embarrassment is a little embarrassing.

This semester is the last time to finish the class, and Zhou is also on vacation, so I packed up the things of the painting class and prepared to bring them all back.Since Ning Fei had dinner with her, his attitude has become much friendlier, at least he stopped teasing her with lukewarm words.She thinks this is a big progress, and she thinks that she has done a good job in the ideological work of the students, and she is quite proud.Ning Fei stayed on purpose and asked: "There are so many things, do you want me to help?" She definitely couldn't carry them by herself.

But Zhou Shi shook his head: "No, no, you go back first. I asked someone to help." He didn't say anything, and slowly packed his schoolbag.After a while, Wei Qing appeared at the door. Zhou Shi hurriedly pulled him and said, "Take away the easel, drawing board, paint bucket and other things first, and I will take the rest." Wei Qing laughed and said that he was a coolie , shook his head, and moved away.Zhou Shi also shouted: "Be careful of the paint getting on your clothes, it won't wash off."

Ning Fei looked at her with a frown, and suddenly asked: "You haven't broken up with him yet?" Zhou was a little unhappy, and said, "Why did I break up?" Ning Fei looked at her with an incomprehensible look, and sneered Said: "He has been with so many women, you want this kind of man? Is it because he is rich?" Looking at her with a disdainful look, she seemed very angry.

Zhou Shi looked at him angrily, and said angrily for a while, "Don't worry about adults' affairs, children." How can I explain this clearly to him.Regarding emotional matters, even the person involved may not be able to explain clearly, let alone a minor child.Besides, there was no need to explain to him at all.

Ning Fei stood up and stared at her with intense eyes.Zhou Shi thought to himself, Tongyan Wuji, Tongyan Wuji... So he slowed down and said: "The last class of this year, everyone has a good get-together, it's getting late, you should go home quickly. I'm going back too. It’s Chinese New Year at home, I wish you progress in your studies in advance, your wishes come true, and you can be admitted to your ideal school.”

After finishing speaking, she was about to leave, but Ning Fei came over and stopped her with one hand.Zhou Shi was amused and asked, "What are you trying to do?" He looked at her coldly and said nothing.Zhou was helpless, and said: "What does this have to do with you?" He suddenly said: "Is it true that people become bad as long as they have money? My father is like this. I would rather have no money, why do you have to talk to rich people?" together?"

Zhou Shi couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "There is no necessary connection between being rich and being bad or not. Do you know the concept of materialism? The internal cause is the main reason, and the external cause is just the driving factor. Let's go, I'm going to lock the door!" The child was so mad at her.But it seems that his family problems are very serious, and his thinking is a bit extreme, which is also quite pitiful.

Regarding the issue of going home, Zhou Shi quarreled with Wei Qing again.Zhou was crying and clamoring to go home, but Wei Qing had no choice but to give in, saying: "I absolutely don't trust you to go home alone. After the new year, I will go back with you, it's okay!" Zhou is Then he calmed down obediently, and went to the supermarket to buy vegetables and cook to please him.After eating so much that he pushed forward again, and his head was full of crooked thoughts, Zhou Shi naturally refused to follow, and said in a hurry: "Wei Qing, I will be yours sooner or later anyway, why are you so anxious!" Wei Qing was quite helpless.

Zhou Shi came back from Wei Qing's house and was about to enter the dormitory when a person rushed out from the ground. She fixed her eyes and realized that it was Ning Fei. She was very surprised, and after a long while, she realized that she asked, "You came here to find me?" Is there something wrong?" Has he been waiting for a long time?He also said, "If you have anything to do, just call." He has her phone number.

Ning Fei lowered his head, looked at the ground with some embarrassment, and said for a long time: "I'm sorry." Zhou thought that he might be apologizing for what happened last time, so he said generously: "I accept it. It's fine, don't take it to heart. "She found that Ning Fei was very sensitive and self-respecting, probably because of the single-parent family, where there was not enough care at home.

Ning Fei looked at her and asked hesitantly, "Are you already engaged to him?" Zhou Shi didn't know where he heard the news, shrugged and smiled and said, "Why? Don't you think I'm fishing for money now? He frowned, suddenly left without saying a word.

Zhou is really confused, what's wrong?His temper is really unpredictable, and he has no idea what he is thinking.She tried to analyze that he might have come to her to apologize for the impulsiveness that day, the child couldn't hold back the matter, and insisted on a formality, she could understand.But before he finished speaking, he turned around and ran away again, why is that.I had to think that he might be thin-skinned, and I was too embarrassed to apologize.

The young man's ignorant feelings are elusive even for himself.
