The daily routine of being teased by a scholar

Xu Huaiyang woke up on the bay window.

I don't know if it was because of the hangover or because of the improper sleeping position, but when he got up, his whole body hurt, especially his head, as if he had been smashed to pieces with a sledgehammer overnight and then glued together again.

He forced himself to sit up and looked outside, feeling a little dazed.

Snowing.

Although it is within the northern range, the city is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the cold air in winter is always delayed.It rarely snows here in winter, and even if it does, it often melts on the ground, and the thickest snow is only a few centimeters.

This year's first snow came very early, and it actually fell in winter.The scenery outside the window is covered with a thin layer of white, and the snow is decorated on the road and trees like fine fluff.

Xu Huaiyang sat on the bay window on the second floor, covered with a blanket, a little lost in thought.

He still remembered what happened last night.

After drinking too much, Cai Zhan gave him a paperclip ring, hung up on half of the phone calls, and made excuses to avoid him that he didn't make clear until the end.

Thinking of the ring, he was startled, jumped out of the bay window, and went downstairs with his slippers on.

The coat he wore last night was hanging in the entrance. He reached into his pocket and took out the ring.

There were no text messages or phone calls on the phone, and the time was showing seven o'clock in the morning. It seemed that Cai Zhan was determined not to contact him.

Xu Huaiyang picked up his phone, ordered takeaway, and went to wash his face.

He looked at himself in the mirror and was suddenly dazed for a moment.

The person in the mirror is the same as last week, last month, last year, the year before, and the year before, nothing seems to have changed.Unchanged hairstyles, looks, expressions, movements, habits, and an unchanging life.

The life of one person.

Worse than repeating it every day is repeating it every year.

The doorbell rang, Xu Huaiyang opened the door, walked out of the yard, and took the takeaway from the delivery man.Then walk in, close the door, and put it on the table.

He looked at the soup dumpling that he had eaten countless times and could recall the taste at a glance.For some reason, this seemed to be the first time he felt lost in repetition and invariance.

While eating soup dumplings, he dialed Fang Mian's phone number.

The beep sounded for almost half a minute before the other party picked up.Fang gave a soft "Hello", sleepiness could be heard in his tone.

Xu Huaiyang coughed lightly: "You haven't gotten up yet?"

"Ah...Xu Huaiyang, why are you up so early..." The other side said in a daze.

Xu Huaiyang smiled: "Sure enough, I haven't gotten up yet, no wonder I knocked on the door for a long time and no one answered."

The person on the other side seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then heard a mess.

"I...Damn it! When did you come? I didn't hear the knock on the door! Wait, I'll open the door now!" Fang Mian shouted over the phone.

There was a sound of knocking over things and furniture over the phone, and then Fang Mian complained in a low voice.

Xu Huaiyang bit his lower lip, trying not to laugh out loud.

"Wait! I'll open the door for you! Hey, my parents happened to be at work today..." There was a sound of footsteps pulling slippers.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of the door lock "clicking" open, and then, two seconds of silence.

Xu Huaiyang held back his laughter, almost going crazy.

"Xu Huaiyang!"

Fang Mian's roar came from the phone.

Xu Huaiyang finally couldn't bear it anymore, and laughed out loud.

"Why are you so annoying—" Fang Mian yelled, "You've been playing me like this since junior high!"

Xu Huaiyang laughed until tears came out: "Then, then you can continue to be fooled..."

"I trust you! Damn, is there anyone like you! Conscience!" Fang Mian continued to growl.

"You have eaten your conscience." Xu Huaiyang couldn't stop laughing, but he still hadn't recovered.

Fang Mian was choked up: "You...don't worry, forget it, your uncle. I don't want to be as knowledgeable as you."

Xu Huaiyang stopped laughing, and it took him a long time to recover.

The muscles in his face hurt a little from laughing, he rubbed his face while laughing, and then threw the bowls and chopsticks after eating into the sink.

"Tell me... What's the matter with you so early in the morning?" Fang Mian sighed, her tone a little helpless.

"It's nothing." Xu Huaiyang went to the living room and lay down on the sofa, "Daily greetings."

"If you want to greet us at seven o'clock in the morning, then we will break up," Fang Mian said.

Xu Huaiyang smiled, turned on the phone and threw it on the coffee table, and then took a book on the table to look at the cover. It was the book "Flowers in the Mirror" that he hadn't finished reading at school.

"Actually, it's nothing important," he put the book down.

The ring made of paper clips is placed on the coffee table, and you can see it with a casual glance.

Xu Huaiyang looked at the ring, a little lost in thought.

"Fang Mian."

He hesitated.

"If you give someone a ring...or a ring, what does it mean?"

Fang Mian didn't hesitate at all, and immediately replied: "Anyone else? If you give it, it must be Xia Xiaoyu. How can you give something like a ring to anyone casually, of course it means you like it..."

Like it.

Xu Huaiyang looked at the ring and fell silent.

He thought about it and decided not to tell Fang Mian about it yet.

He didn't know what Fang Mian would think.But according to Cai Zhan's sensitivity, if there is any prejudiced idea of ​​others at this time, it will become a weight on him.

But if Cai Zhan is just giving gifts or just having fun, it's not impossible... But Cai Zhan doesn't seem like someone who would do such things at will.

What kind of feeling do you like?

In the past 17 years, Xu Huaiyang has never been in a relationship, nor has he been attracted to any little girl.Even if there are always girls who throw him two love letters and olive branches of love at every turn, he doesn't care.

He actually doesn't quite understand why someone likes him, and he doesn't understand why someone is tempted by another person.

After Fang Mian said that, she didn't hang up the phone, listening to Xu Huaiyang's silence here.

"Brother Yang, do you have something on your mind..." Fang Mian asked tentatively.

Xu Huaiyang came back to his senses and smiled: "No, I just want to ask."

"If you want something, just tell me," Fang Mian was still not at ease, "It's been a long time, brother, I'll just listen to you..."

Xu Huaiyang was silent for a while.

"Why do you like Xia Xiaoyu?"

Fang Mian was stunned: "Because she is cute."

Then there was a pause: "But I can't say that completely. There is no reason to like this thing. Some people fall in love at first sight, and they like it when they see it. Most of the boys are attracted by their faces and figures, and they are good-looking girls. Who doesn't like it, hey, Xia Xiaoyu is really pretty, pretty and cute..."

"Let's get down to business." Xu Huaiyang frowned, as soon as this guy talked about Xia Xiaoyu, he would digress.

"Let's get down to business," Fang Mian was interrupted, a little helpless, "Look, you've been halfway through puberty for more than ten years, and you haven't been interested in any girl?"

Xu Huaiyang thought about it, but there really wasn't one.He has never paid attention to the girls around him, and when he is bored, he spends all his boring time on reading and playing games.

"Some people, you always want to play with her, walk together, eat together and make trouble together... You can't live without her everywhere, and you can't sleep or eat because of her, but you still enjoy it. You can think of her first in everything."

Xu Huaiyang frowned: "Do you think I like you?"

The other side was silent for a while.

"...You don't really like me, are you stimulated by my dating?" Fang Mian asked cautiously.

"Fuck you, uncle," Xu Huaiyang almost laughed angrily, "I would rather like that cabbage in the rotten refrigerator I bought last week than I like you."

"Ruthless," Fang Mian clicked his tongue, "Anyway, I think this is what I like. There is no fixed definition for this thing, and you may not be able to figure it out even if you look it up in a dictionary."

"Okay, it doesn't matter." Xu Huaiyang sighed.

The voice of this sentence fell, and there was a long silence on the other side of the phone.

After a long time, Fang Mian opened his mouth, his tone already tinged with seriousness.

"Xu Huaiyang, there is something I don't know whether to say or not. Hey, I'll tell you whether you want to listen or not..." Fang Mian hesitated. "I think you get too depressed sometimes."

too depressed?Xu Huaiyang was stunned.

"Now... you are always in the state of 'I don't care about things that have nothing to do with gains and losses', right?"

Fang Mian paused, and then said: "You study because you are bored and don't care about grades; you play games because you are bored and don't care about winning or losing. To put it bluntly, there is no part of enjoying the process in your life. Do you understand?"

Xu Huaiyang let out a "hmm".

"To pass the time for boredom, life is too boring." Fang Mian sighed. "Or, living is too boring."

"Huaiyang, sometimes I really wish someone would take you in. Let your life at least have some hope."
