Chapter 246: Passing the mail, orange scent, fourth sound.

Chi Xiaochi's father had been talking with Zhu Shoucheng at first, but as soon as Chi Xiaochi returned, he asked Chi Xiaochi to entertain Zhu Shoucheng and went to the communal kitchen to help his wife.

Chi Xiaochi hangs his bag on the wall, sits down at the table, takes out the cell phone Lou Ying gave him last night, and sends Lou Ying a text message under the table.

Chi Xiaochi: "Lou, I'm home. Where are you?"

While waiting for Lou Ying's reply, Zhu Shoucheng spoke up.

By appearance alone, he was quite gentle and refined, fifty years old and without an over-exaggerated greasy belly, and a white shirt that was always washed and cleaned.

...... No one knows, how many similar human skins have been pasted on this face.

He peeled a few peanuts and put them on the empty plate in front of Chi Xiaochi, "Xiaochi, how did you do on the final exam?"

Chi Xiaochi's eyes went cold as she stared at her cell phone.

When he looked up, his expression immediately cleaned up properly, "Well, it's okay."

Zhu Shoucheng pressed his arms on the table, approached Chi Xiaochi, lowered his voice, and in the posture of a peer talking about his heart, pretended to be secretive: "Hey, do you know what your parents want me to do?"

Chi Xiaochi also rested her arms on the desktop, her eyes smiling with a curved, playful smile, "You're moving."

Zhu Shoucheng looked sad, "You're willing to let the teacher move."

Chi Xiaochi: "If it's going to rain and the mother wants to marry, who can stop it, right?"

Zhu Shoucheng was just about to continue talking when Chi Xiaochi's cell phone ding-donged.

He lowered his head to look at his cell phone, leaving Zhu Shoucheng plenty of time to admire him with impunity.

Zhu Shoucheng is 13 years old and likes to play with 13 year old boys.

When he's 25, he still likes 13-year-old boys.

He found this out in the second year after the high school entrance exams had just been reinstated.

He came here to teach junior high school with a high school dropout degree, looking at the podium under a shaved inch head, potato-like little boy, during the school period did not accept a love letter from female classmates Zhu Shoucheng, so excited that the feet are soft, even the voice can not help but trembling.

In those days, homosexuals were bullies who should be beaten down and then stampeded on with 10,000 feet on top, and hooliganism was a crime that could even lead to being caught and shot.

But no one is saying that a teacher can't do something to a male student.

It's something everyone can hardly imagine.

How can anyone be interested in little kids, and little boys with no hair at all?

Therefore, no one could understand Zhu Shoucheng's excitement, and no one knew that when he drew a perfect circle on the blackboard without a compass, the boys' admiration underneath made the hairs on his head stand up.

...... He has a whole secret garden.

The following year, when literature was reviving, he took the title "The Garden" to pay tribute to the beautiful flowers under the podium.

Later, he submitted the essay, which was infused with infinite sincere feelings, to the city and succeeded in publishing it in a municipal publication.

Editor's comment is, emotionally rich, moving, the author in limited words, betting on unlimited emotions. Academic knowledge is not the only yardstick to evaluate a good people's teacher, but also the deep and tender love for children.

When Zhu Shoucheng received the publication from the editorial office, he was intoxicated and buried his face between the paper and ink, breathing heavily.

Love. This is love.

...... However, his love and dreams were soon crushed by reality.

He had just started working when his parents set him up on a blind date with a vulgar village woman.

He refused to get married before, there is the "struggle for the cause of the revolution", "cause is not, why the family for" as a shield, and now, the cause of the revolution has become a long-term work that can not be accomplished overnight, Zhu Shoucheng can not find any other decent excuses, but to marry the woman he only knew for six months. Can only bite the teeth, with tears, married the woman he only knew for half a year.

After all, the bloodline of his old Zhu family had to continue.

Fortunately, this woman was born cheap, can not stand the rich and powerful, put down the hoe less than a year and a half, when giving birth, because of difficult labor, wailed for two days and two nights, and finally died in the township health center.

It's a good thing she fought for her life and made the old Zhu family get a man in one fell swoop.

Zhu Shoucheng kept the clouds open and found a reason "not to be sorry for his late wife" and chose to bring his son to live with him and never married again.

It's not that he hasn't had thoughts about his youngest son, just that there is a layer of ethical wall, and he occasionally uses his parentage to make jokes and have a good time, and that's all.

What's more, he's got a whole garden, so why should he fall in love with a single flower?

In Zhu Shoucheng's opinion, he has been in love with many children for two years, and he has done the first initiation for them and accompanied them on an important life journey.

He told the children that they must not tell their parents about the little secrets between them. Because parents are too old-fashioned and foolish to believe that their children are old enough to make their own choices in relationships and shouldn't follow their old, corrupt rules ......

With this set of words, Zhu Shoucheng made a lot of ignorant boys adore himself.

He was a learned man, patient and gentle with his children, could write a good essay, taught himself English, and later completed the entire college course by correspondence, and at the age of forty-five was admitted to a post-graduate program at one of the city's teachers' colleges.

He is the best teacher, both in the minds of students and parents.

After his son failed in high school, did not want to repeat, Zhu Shoucheng went with him, support him to go to sea, so that he rode the best of an era of the east wind, the green clouds, nearly thirty years old has a staggering assets and social status.

Therefore, in his son's mind, Zhu Shoucheng is also the best father.

The son wants to take his father away, so that he can retire early, not to struggle for that little pension, have to get up at 5:30 every morning, all day long in the school by the teacher and the gang of bear children, graded a lifetime can not finish the homework, write a lifetime can not finish the writing of lesson plans.

But Zhu Shoucheng refused, saying he couldn't leave the children.

It's the truth.

He doesn't want to leave his garden.

And the flowers next door to his house are about to bloom.

The year Chi Xiaochi took the middle school exam, he went to lobby his parents to make sure he got into the experimental class at the school where he worked so that he could take care of him, but it turned out that Chi Xiaochi's grades were a little worse, and if he had gone to the school where Zhu Shoucheng was, he would only have been able to get into the regular class, so his parents thought about it for a while and let him go to the experimental class at a different middle school that was a little bit worse.

For this reason, Zhu Shoucheng regretted for a long time.

And in just one semester's work, Chi Xiaochi has sprouted and taken on a unique quality and beauty.

At this age, the boys, their own requirements are often not high, the perception of "beauty" is even more vague, either because of excess hormones, fat into the back of the neck enough to have three stacks of meat buns, or not yet developed, small sprouts like wilting head. Occasionally, there are a few good-looking, but also lazy to pick up their own, let the new stubble climbed all over the chin, showing that a little bit different "manliness".

Of all the children he had seen, few had been born just right like Chi Xiaochi.

Regardless of his long arms and legs of wonderful proportions, he had a neck that was beautifully distinguished from his peers, free of hidden gray, slender and fair, and clean except for the dark, dense hair, which was not exuberant elsewhere. He had a collarbone at a young age, and a flower had blossomed at his ankle bone, which didn't go into the leg of his pants, and the shape of his ankle bone created a little bit of wonderful convexity for the flower pattern, so that one couldn't help but imagine the expression on his face when he was carefully and earnestly stilted his feet on the high ground, and carefully appliquéd the flower for his ankle.

As a teacher, Zhu Shoucheng customarily grades Chi Xiaochi on a percentage scale.

Appearance, of course, is an unquestionable 95 points, the number one of all Zhu Shoucheng's hunting targets.

Height, minus 40 points, scores 60. such over-sized little boys are beyond the age of best control.

Personality, Score 50. he's too quick-witted and precocious in person to be a suitable target to start with, and it's a good thing that he has serious family problems, so even if things were to accidentally come to light, his parents wouldn't believe what he has to say.

Chi Xiaochi scored 205 out of 300 points.

Generally lower than 200 points, Zhu Shoucheng will decisively remove that person from the list, not even half a trace of attachment.

As for Chi Xiaochi, although it is heavily biased, it is too good for Zhu Shoucheng's appetite, and one feels that it would be a waste not to take advantage of the opportunity to pick it.

But here's the problem.

...... He is too well developed.

Now, when Chi Xiaochi is seen up close and personal, Zhu Shoucheng, who had made up his mind and was ready to move, is once again in a state of hesitation, and is even a bit disinterested.

He realized that Chi Xiaochi wasn't much like a normal child anymore.

Zhu Shoucheng couldn't tell what it felt like.

The face was still the same, and there was nothing out of the ordinary in his demeanor, but the fact was that Chi Xiaochi's attraction to him had instantly vanished in a big way.

Even Chi Xiaochi didn't realize that Zhu Shoucheng was able to sniff out that little bit of abnormality in himself based on his own rich experience.

He just kept his head down and read the reply Lou Ying gave him.

Lou Ying replied, "I'm right downstairs from your house."

Chi Xiaochi flew across the keyboard and typed, "This is the first time I've gotten a reply from you ......"

But halfway through typing it, he thought it was too damning and deleted it word for word.

Halfway through the deletion, Chi Xiaochi remembered that Lou Ying was now inside him, sharing the same pair of eyes with him, and couldn't help but smile, silently laughing at his own Fang Cai's antics.

Lou Ying, who was within his body and saw his entire movement, had a slight numbness in her heart and a slight flood of pain.

And Lou Ying downstairs soon received a new text message edited by Chi Xiaochi: "How do I know if it's true or not. I can't say you're still in school and purposely donkey me."

Lou Ying held the phone against his chin, pondering how to respond.

Half a minute later, Chi Xiaochi upstairs received the first text message from Lou Ying: "I'm knocking on the radiator."

A second text message followed, "One knock is 'I'm here,' two knocks is 'good night,' and three knocks is 'go downstairs.' "

Chi Xiaochi had just finished reading the text message when there was a duk-duk knocking sound from the direction of the heater.

That tapping style is like Lou Ying, not too fast, not too noisy, and slowly and methodically delivering the signal of peace.

Chi Xiaochi put down her cell phone and followed the silent count.

One, two, three, four.

Chi Xiaochi texted over and asked, "What's four knocks?"

Lou Ying, there's no movement over there.

Chi Xiaochi took the cell phone and tapped it on the table, suspecting that the broken phone was broken.

Zhu Shoucheng talks to him: "New cell phone?"

Chi Xiaochi was a bit miffed: "Two, three, four, five hands are possible."

While he was troubled, his cell phone rang twice more.

Chi Xiaochi decides not to look at his cell phone for a minute.

After counting enough for sixty, he was busy looking down at his cell phone.

"Knocking four times is me missing you and wanting to see your face."

"Open the window and look downstairs."

Chi Xiaochi now had the capital to be dejected, and looked at the ceiling for a while before replying, "By what right."

Lou Ying accuses helplessly, "You made me wait by the window for so long."

Chi Xiaochi: "I did it on purpose."

Lou Ying: "Why?"

Chi Xiaochi : "Because I suspect you just did it on purpose too."

"Injustice." Lou Ying mildly cried out in injustice, "Originally, I wanted to say that four means 'like you', but thinking about it, I still think it's too frivolous and not very nice. So, I'll switch to a more euphemistic way of saying it."

Chi Xiaochi rubbed her nose gently and put down her cell phone, "Mr. Zhu, are you hot?"

Zhu Shoucheng still refused to completely die, and was rethinking a set of "hot or not" opening lines, wanting to test him again, but I didn't expect to be robbed by Chi Xiaochi, so I could only smile sarcastically and say, "Okay, please."

Chi Xiaochi gets up and pulls the window open.

Hot air with a hint of oily residue rushes in, mixed with a touch of mood-altering coolness on the inside.

Chi Xiaochi braced her hands on the window sill, took two deep breaths, and when she lowered her head, the corner of her eye inadvertently swept over her fingers on the window sill.

All ...... ten fingers were shaking.

Chi Xiaochi was a bit surprised.

After so many years, he still has anger and fear from the depths of his bone marrow towards Zhu Shoucheng.

- - in confronting him, unable to endure even a simple chatty conversation on his own.

Well, following the direction of his finger, he soon saw Lou Ying sitting across the edge of a first-floor window.

The living Lou Ying.

Not the Lou Ying of this world who knows nothing of what is about to happen, but the Lou Ying who belongs to him, the Chi Xiaochi.

He raised the index finger of his left hand and lightly touched the corner of his lips, signaling him not to make a sound, while tossing a round object upward.

Chi Xiaochi bends down, reaches out, and turns over her hand to see a thin-skinned fresh orange.

Lou Ying nods at the tip of his nose and reaches back to point at his stomach.

...... Take a sniff and your stomach will feel better.

Lou Ying had observed his body's abnormality earlier than Chi Xiaochi, so she had cooperated with him by sending text messages and saying other things to distract him so that he wouldn't feel too uncomfortable.

Chi Xiaochi is relieved by the orange flavor that escapes from his fingers.

He turned his head sideways and realized that Zhu Shoucheng was not looking at this side, so he flew a kiss to Lou Ying with full flair.

Lou Ying made a false grab in the air, holding the captured empty kiss in the palm of his hand, then looked upstairs at Chi Xiaochi with a smile, probing his finger and tapping it twice on his forehead in a slapdash manner.

When Chi Xiaochi returned from the open window, squeezing an orange and resuming his seat at the table, Zhu Shoucheng looked over at him and thought he'd lost his eyesight.

In the warm apricot-colored light, Chi Xiaochi's face can still be seen to be lightly flushed.

After another five minutes, Chi Xiaochi's parents had finally finished serving dinner.

A four-course meal is a fairly standard hospitality specification.

Chi Xiaochi already knew what the purpose of the meal was, so she made up her mind to just focus on the thick food.

However, just as the meal started, there was a brief and not very pleasant hiccup.

Chi's mother noticed Chi Xiaochi's trouser pockets were bulging, and without a word of greeting, she reached down and pulled out the cell phone, seizing it directly in her hand, "...... Where did you get the money to buy a cell phone?"

Chi Xiaochi said, "Lou gave it to me."

Mother Ikari smiled disdainfully, "Don't think he didn't take it at someone's house again?"

Lou Ying's heart snapped at the words.

He didn't care about the rumors, but he was worried that Chi Xiaochi would fight with his parents and hurt himself.

He has read this world thread related to Chi Xiaochi.

Chi Xiaochi used to wrestle with her parents over Lou Ying, and the feedback she got was "You've grown up", "We're doing this for your own good, but you don't know what's good for you", and "We raised you for nothing". We have raised you for nothing.

If they're in a bad mood, Chi Xiaochi gets beaten up.

Lou Ying was worried when Chi Xiaochi looked up and smiled, "Then I'll return the cell phone to Lou, it just so happens that I don't want a second-hand one either. Mom will buy me a new one then."

Mother Pool: "......"
