In February, the shores of Linzhong Lake have become more green.

Just like the description in Zhu Ziqing's 'Spring', the mountains are moist, the water is rising, and the sun's face is red.

The ice on the lake has melted, and the fiery red birds and buffalo, which had disappeared for most of the winter, began to reappear on both sides of the lakeshore. At noon, young wizards and wizards who have just finished their classes pass by the shore of the lake, and they always drop some crumbs of bread, cereal, or dried tofu to add a little nourishment to the emaciated guests in the lake.

The beginning of school is similar to the beginning of spring, and it will bring a burst of vitality to the world.

Zheng Qing accompanied Yelena on this vibrant land, full of passion from the inside out - this is also the main factor that he unknowingly deviates when chatting.

Fortunately, the young public scholarship student woke up to his fallacy in time and turned the subject back to the witch.

"Don't always talk about me, what about you?" Zheng Qing's gaze swept over the several tome reference books that Elena was holding in her arms, and asked curiously, "Are you still studying those ancient talismans?" do you need my help?...... You only need to buy me two sugar people who can juggle in Shuangtang Ji, there is no limit to sucrose or maltose, I am not picky. ”

Hearing the wizard's self-recommendation, the gypsy witch couldn't help but laugh.

"It can't be cheaper," Zheng Qing pretended to have a distressed expression, emphasizing that "a wizard who can master all the basic talismans is also rare among the students of First University. ”

"It's unique. The witch smiled and corrected, "As far as I know, you are the only one who has mastered all the basic talismans. ”

This compliment was very sincere and unpretentious, which made Zheng Qingting's heart bloom.

The early spring sun shone through the cracks in the branches and fell on the tips and shoulders of the witch, gilding her fair skin with a beautiful glaze. With the smile she showed at the moment, the young public scholarship student couldn't help but be stunned.

Sensing Zheng Qingzhi's stunned gaze, Yelena seemed a little embarrassed, turned her face slightly, and pretended to be watching the big red birds in the lake that stretched their necks to beg for food.

The long, burgundy wavy hair spun briskly in mid-air for half a circle as she turned her head. The ends of his hair brushed Zheng Qing's cheeks, but it made the bottom of his heart itch.

In this way, the atmosphere was silent in the entanglement, and in silence, before you knew it, the two had crossed the lakeside, walked through the small square in front of the library, crossed the forest path, and came to the fork in the back garden.

To the left is the men's dormitory, and to the right is the girls' dormitory.

Yelena finally remembered to answer Zheng Qing's previous question.

"I haven't studied them in a while, so I don't need help for a while...... And recently I was helping a senior sister with personal matters, and these jobs may be suspended for a while. ”

As she spoke, Yelena patted the reference book in her arms and politely rejected the wizard's application, but gave him a little sweetness, "But there is no problem with the sugar man...... I just bought a little bit in Shuangtang Ji two days ago, and I will bring you the talisman class in the afternoon. ”

After that, without waiting for Zheng Qing to answer, he waved his hand and left lightly.

The long hair flowed and took away a lot of the witch's thoughts.

Leaving behind an empty shell, he stood still and stood stunned for a long time.

......

......

The gypsy witch did not break her word.

Before the start of the talisman class on Monday afternoon, she brought a small box of candy people to Zheng Qing's desk. caused a commotion among the surrounding witches and wizards.

The candy man she gave was in an oak box with a glass lid.

The box is a bit heavy, the lacquer surface is shiny, but the mountain lines on the log material have not been erased, the side of the wooden box, clearly imprinted with the mark of 'Double Tang Dynasty', through the upper glass lid, you can clearly see the sugar people inside the box.

In line with the usual style of Shuangtang Ji, the candy figures in the box are not neatly stacked on the shelves, but use some delicate little magic to build an interesting scene.

In this gift from Yelena, the candy men in the box are playing football.

The moss-paved lawn, the toothpick-built goal, and the mung bean-sized soccer ball should be wrapped in sesame sugar, and the white sphere faintly reveals a bit of oiliness.

In the box, two teams composed of maltose and sucrose tirelessly ran back and forth on the green field, chasing the little football, and the small trumpet flowers embedded in the edge of the box shouted hoarsely, cheering for the players on the field.

Zheng Qing remembered that he had seen this gift box in the window of Shuangtang Ji, and the price was very expensive, and it was to be remembered with golden beans. It's just that the gift box that Elena gave him should be a stripped-down version, because there are no candy people sitting in the seats in the stands on either side of the court, and there are no arm-waving coaches, alternate players, or dancing cheerleaders off the field.

But in any case, this gift made the young public scholarship student very happy.

For the next whole week, when Zheng Qing was in the dormitory, whenever he had time, he picked up the oak gift box and watched the football game inside with great interest - although he only knew a little about the rules of football, this did not affect his judgment of which side scored the most goals.

According to his plan, the sugar man who is eaten will always start with the losing side first.

If a player from any team starts to stumble and run on the green field because of lack of magic, then for the safety of other players and the integrity of the entire gift box, Zheng Qing can only go against his will and make an exception to eat it first.

Because of these complicated 'candy man rules' he set, there were still seven or eight sugar men running around the moss on the pitch until Saturday and not getting eaten.

At noon that day, after watching the football game for the nth time, Zheng Qing sighed, reluctantly held the oak box, and handed it to Xiao Xiao.

"Help me watch for a moment. "There are seven more sugar men in there," he admonished...... They have been being targeted by Tuan Tuan for a long time, so they must be careful not to be successfully attacked by Tuan Tuan. ”

The fat cat on the shoulder of the fat man meowed irritably, as if he was despising the stinginess of the young wizard.

"Scared me," Xiao Xiao lifted his glasses, took the gift box, and sighed lightly, "I also said why did you suddenly have a convulsion and give me something that you have been precious for so long." ”

"It's not a gift, it's just a temporary help to keep it. Zheng Qing emphasized.

Xiao Xiao nodded and asked casually, "Are you going to Professor Montella's laboratory...... Remember to bring a notebook and copy more useful things for me to bring back. ”

"And remember to ask Professor Montella if you want to recruit interns with a solid professional foundation!" Xin Fatzi looked at Zheng Qing eagerly and added, "Brother Qing, I can count on you!"

"I know, I know!" Zheng Qing touched the gray cloth bag hanging from his waist, waved at his roommates, pulled away from the dormitory, and disappeared behind the gray corridor.
