26. Chapter XXVI
"What about him, you know better than me, he is cold by nature, he doesn't like to talk, and he has cleanliness, and in the past few years you have gone, he has become less and less approachable, in short, in general." Huang Dan pretended to be nonchalant and said.
He ...... What about you, don't you have you by his side? Xia Siyin's voice suddenly raised, and his eyes were eager.
"Huh? I? ”
Huang Dan crossed his hands behind his head, leaned back on the back of the sofa, and sneered: "Xiao Xia, have you forgotten?" Because of your brother's business, he hasn't forgiven me in the past few years...... Alas...... What are we...... I'll never go back to where I started......"
Xia Siyin heard the younger brother in Huang Dan's mouth, and the hand holding the cup trembled without a trace.
"But what...... I also told you, he is now sharing an apartment with someone else in Beijing by mistake, and the two seem to get along quite well. ”
Huang Dan glanced at Xia Siyin, he deliberately concealed the relationship between Zhou Jinglin and Ban Shuyun.
Xia Siyin was in a trance for a moment, as if she was talking to herself: "Share a house...... Can Jinglin stand it......"
"Then I really don't know, but I found that he has been laughing more often than in a few years!" Huang Dan deliberately said something unclear.
"Oh?" This made Xia Siyin a little surprised, after many years, the face that seemed to be deeply imprinted in his heart has always been an indifferent and cold image.
"Xiao Xia, in the past few years, I have never been able to figure it out," Huang Dan got up and walked to Xia Siyin's side, "Why didn't you say goodbye back then?" ”
Xia Siyin suddenly looked painful, the bones of his hand holding the cup turned white, he spoke softly, and at this moment it was like a dream: "I...... I don't want to......"
"Huh? What did you say, Natsu? ”
Xia Siyin suddenly came back to his senses: "Huang Dan, I left you suddenly, and deliberately cut off contact with Jinglin...... In short, this is not my intention, I have a hard time, but I can't say it yet. ”
Xia Siyin looked at Huang Dan's eyes focused and sincere, and it didn't look like a lie.
Huang Dan didn't force him: "Come on, after so many years, I have already seen it, but Jinglin is ...... I don't know what he thinks......"
Huang Dan's mind suddenly flashed their youthful appearance, and now that things are wrong, he is yellow and light, and he can't turn back if he does it.
Xia Siyin remembered that Zhou Jinglin's heart was throbbing again, and he diverted the topic and said, "You guys...... Have you also graduated, have you continued your education or have you already started working? ”
Xia Siyin is one year younger than Zhou Jinglin and Huang Dan, and now she is returning from college.
"Hahahahaha......" Huang Dan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst out laughing.
Xia Siyin...... You don't know yet! After that incident, I dropped out of school with Jinglin, he, as you know, has liked medicine since he was a child, and studied Chinese medicine, but I, I have no pursuit, so I followed him and mixed up, and now we are a little famous, working in the Chinese medicine hall. ”
Huang Dan looked at Xia Siyin with a new expression.
"What? Dropout! Xia Si stood up with a sigh of relief, "Uncle Huang ...... Especially Uncle Zhou...... How could they let you mess around like this! Xia Siyin said excitedly.
"You're wrong~ It just happens to be their support. For people like us, only we understand the sourness and darkness under the glamorous appearance, and Zhou Jinglin and I are destined to inherit the family business. Well, it can't all be counted on the head of that incident, it may have just become an opportunity for me and Zhou Jinglin to pursue freedom. Huang Dan looked disapproving.
"Huang Dan...... Don't lie to me, you absolutely agreed to something, even if Uncle Huang agrees, Uncle Zhou absolutely disagrees. Xia Siyin's face was stern and he retorted firmly.
"Bingo~" Huang Dan snapped his fingers, raised his eyebrows, and whispered in Xia Siyin's ear: "You guessed it, it's just a secret~"
"Yellow light! Do you know what you're doing? Uncle Zhou, he ......"
"He's not going to do a loss-making business, is he? Of course, he promised Jinglin, which naturally had extraordinary benefits. Huang Dan smiled and interrupted Xia Siyin's words, at this time, Xia Siyin's eyes were scarlet, and he swept away the warmth and elegance of his usual days.
Xia Siyin looked at Huang Dan in disbelief, how could he say so lightly!
Xia Siyin sat back on the sofa weakly, his eyes were empty, and he said to himself: "You don't know how terrible he is......"
"Xiao Xia," Huang Dan sat on the sofa and sat with Xia Siyin, tilting his head, his words seemed to be comforting, "Don't worry, Jinglin and I have our own plans." ”
"Headmaster, excuse me, are you looking for me?" Ban Shuyun knocked on the door and walked inside after seeing Principal Zhang smiling and nodding at him.
Ban Shuyun originally went to the drama department to deal with the problem of returning the costumes, but as soon as it was over, a phone call called him to the principal's office.
"Shuyun, you're welcome, just sit down, it's okay to get used to it in the past few months, right?"
He has heard a lot of things about Ban Shuyun from the mouth of Ban Shuyun's tutor, and he likes this young but outstanding young man very much.
Principal Zhang is nearly 60 years old and looks very amiable. Ban Shuyun had a few conversations with him at the beginning of the school year, and he had no leadership at all, and he was very approachable.
"Q University is my alma mater and my home, how can I say that I can't adapt to it? These months have been very fulfilling and happy. ”
Ban Shuyun sat down and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"That's good, that's good, with Shuyun's qualifications, being a teacher is really a bit of a loss."
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the principal is really exalting me!" Ban Shuyun was a little flattered.
"The principal came to me...... Is there something going on? Ban Shuyun didn't want Zhou Jinglin to wait too long, he planned to get straight to the point.
Principal Zhang suddenly put away his smile, his face was a little helpless, and he stopped talking.
Seeing this, Ban Shuyun also became more serious, he didn't want to embarrass Principal Zhang: "Principal, if you have anything to say, as long as it is about the school, I will do my best to complete it." ”
Principal Zhang was quite moved when he heard Ban Shuyun say this, and he let go of his heart: "Shuyun, have you also heard that we had an education cooperation project with South Africa some time ago?" ”
Ban Shuyun nodded: "Yes, I have heard that it is an extremely poor place in South Africa, and the university teachers there have come to study with us for a while. ”
"This educational cooperation is in response to the call for the national project of 'promoting exchanges in the education of various universities', and the original plan was for their teachers to come to our side for training for two months, but the municipal leaders personally approached me last week, because our school has completed the task too happily, and the South African side has designated our school to send some teachers to train them."
Ban Shuyun was stunned, went to South Africa for training?
"I know the conditions over there are too difficult, but our Q University is one of the top schools in China, and we have been personally designated, how can there be any reason to refuse?"
"What does Principal Zhang mean ...... Shall I go? ”
Principal Zhang did not answer positively, but continued: "After I got the news, I immediately held an emergency meeting, and because you were busy with the school celebration, I didn't notify you. Everyone thought about it, and decided on a few of you young people. ”
"Who else?"
"There are also Mr. Li from the Faculty of Arts and Mr. Fang from the Faculty of Science."
"It was a difficult place, the young people were in good health and could endure hardships, and we didn't have any families, so we had nothing to worry about, and we all happened to have been abroad...... So let's go, is it the best fit? Ban Shuyun said in a trance.
Principal Zhang didn't speak, just looked at Ban Shuyun, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
"How long?"
"Two months."
Ban Shuyun walked out of the principal's office in a trance, and he leaned his back against the wall for a long time.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a little aggrieved. It's not that he doesn't want to go to South Africa for training, on the contrary, if this is the past, he is even very happy, not only to give a love to a backward region, but also to promote friendship between countries, why not? It's just that...... He is so reluctant, so reluctant to Zhou Jinglin! It's just the beginning, and I like him so much...... As soon as he thought that he was going to leave him for two whole months, Ban Shuyun's eyes were red, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, how could he become so hypocritical, Ban Shuyun secretly scolded himself for being too hypocritical.
"Jinglin, where are you now?"
……
"Okay, I'll go over and wait another five minutes." Ban Shuyun's words were full of apologies, Zhou Jinglin specially put down his work today to accompany him, but he didn't know how many five minutes he had been waiting for. Ban Shuyun looked at his watch, and it was already noon.
Zhou Jinglin stood under a big evergreen tree in the flower bed, he lowered his head and played with his mobile phone. Today's wind was a little cool, rustling the leaves, and the shade of the trees floated back and forth on the lawn, sometimes hitting Zhou Jinglin's body.
"Jinglin!"
Ban Shuyun ran in a hurry, and Zhou Jinglin's face flashed in his mind over and over again, wanting to see him more than ever!
Zhou Jinglin heard Ban Shuyun's shout, raised his head, he opened his arms appropriately, Ban Shuyun threw himself into his arms and hugged him hard.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. We...... Let's go home. Ban Shuyun put his face in Zhou Jinglin's arms and said in a muffled voice.
Zhou Jinglin noticed that something was wrong with Ban Shuyun, but he didn't say anything, but gently patted him on the back, lifted Ban Shuyun's face from his arms with both hands, imprinted a deep kiss on his forehead, and then pressed Ban Shuyun back into his arms, and said gently:
"Okay, let's go home."
Zhou Jinglin's car was in the Chinese medicine hall, and the two of them had to walk there.
Ban Shuyun was unusually quiet, just holding Zhou Jinglin's hand firmly and not letting go. Zhou Jinglin didn't say a word, and let Ban Shuyun lead him.
Because I got off work at noon, the people in the Chinese medicine hall were almost gone. The two walked to the garage, Zhou Jinglin pinched Ban Shuyun with his backhand, and said softly, "I'm going to drive." ”
Ban Shuyun didn't seem to hear it, but he worked harder, he lowered his head, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.
"Baby?"
Ban Shuyun didn't reply, and suddenly raised his hand around Zhou Jinglin's neck, looked for Zhou Jinglin's lips and kissed him.
He kissed frantically, anxiously, reluctantly, and nostalgically...... All kinds of complicated feelings are dissolved into this chaotic but passionate and intense kiss.
Zhou Jinglin was really taken aback by Ban Shuyun's suddenness, he, immediately, he could actually experience Ban Shuyun's unspeakable reluctance and pain from this kiss! He was anti-guest, and pressed Ban Shuyun against the wall and kissed him hard.
Ban Shuyun didn't expect that a kiss could go so deep into the bone marrow, as if it was going to burn out his life.
Zhou Jinglin kissed Ban Shuyun over and over again in the corner of his tearful eyes, and he whispered: "What happened?" Well? ”
"I ......"
"Jinglin, what are you doing?"
Zhou Jinglin was a spirit, looking for prestige, and it turned out to be ...... Xia Siyin!
