tearful rose

五

Su Qiyang turned off the light in the living room.

He woke up the screen, fingered the communication record, hesitating whether to call Chen Zhen.Within a few minutes, the mobile phone that forgot to turn on silent rang loudly, and Su Qiyang was startled by the suddenness.

Caller ID: Chen Zhen.

"I'm counting the time. Even if you're a clean freak, you should have finished washing by now, but you didn't call me back." Chen Zhen's voice was a little deeper than when he heard it during the day, with a little breath, soft and vague, Inexplicably sexy.This thought suddenly rushed into his mind, which frightened Su Qiyang even more than the ringing of the bell in the dark night——

This is the legacy of the past.

"Did Cailan tell you?"

Su Qiyang collected himself: "Yes."

Chen Zhen smiled lowly: "Then do you think of me, Teacher Su?"

Su Qiyang thought it was an illusion - he actually felt that those words had a gentle and quiet meaning. When Chen Zhen said "Teacher Su", he smiled slightly, and the ending sound rose, which was especially lingering.

In fact, the memory is not so full.

The fledgling young reporter at the beginning of the year had a look of vigor, believing in the golden rule that "the media is a public instrument of society", and the flame of idealism of a young journalism student made his chest burn.However, the reality is skinnier than the ideal, and Chen Zhen, who just joined the newspaper office, is just a young man running errands.Every year in the newspaper office, there is a routine public welfare activity "Working for a Day to See the Society".

This project is cumbersome and boring, and has no social value, especially for a group of elementary school students who are extremely difficult to control.The old reporters shied away one after another, and finally the job fell to Chen Zhen and another young female reporter.

"……Um."

Su Qiyang subconsciously pinched a corner of the pillow.

At that time, Su Qiyang was still a graduate student, and his graduate tutor had a cooperative research project with Aibao International Chain Early Education Institution.In order to study children's cognitive emotions and behaviors in stages, Su Qiyang stayed in that institution to do some children's behavioral psychological counseling and treatment.

"Mr. Su, I'm very surprised."

"……Same."

This was already five years ago, and fate does sometimes seem unpredictable.Back then, Su Qiyang would never have imagined that five years later, this young reporter who once fell in love with him at first sight would break into his life again in such a capacity.

They are all different.

The silent breath gradually blended.

"Ms. Su, do you know why I fell in love with you at first sight back then?" Chen Zhen's voice was a little lazy, but it didn't seem sleepy, slightly seductive.

Su Qiyang felt very angry.

"know."

Do you know who knows?

Do you know? Anyway, only I know.

There was no sound on the other side of the phone, and Su Qiyang could imagine Chen Zhen's stunned and distressed appearance, and his mood improved inexplicably.

Chen Zhen smiled helplessly.

"When I pursued you back then, I didn't seem to have said this?" At that time, he was so young and proud and shy, how could he say such a thing frankly - in the view of 22-year-old Chen Zhen, people must never bow their heads because of love .

"Don't forget what I study."

Su Qiyang smiled slightly.

Chen Zhen's voice sounded innocent: "But I'm not a child."

Su Qiyang heheed meaningfully twice.

"Okay." Chen Zhen smiled: "Mr. Su, do you know that you chatted to death just now? I'm a little curious, do you chat with your children like this?"

"Someone said just now that he is not a child. Who is it? Do you want me to think about it?"

"No."

Chen Zhen's tone was a bit rascal.

Su Qiyang suddenly felt guarded—Chen Zhen was really powerful, and a few words unknowingly evoke the past, blurring the boundaries of their relationship.

This is not the case five years ago.

And Chen Zhen is no longer that young boy who is at a loss and troubled with a dozen elementary school students.Su Qiyang's eyes slowly appeared Chen Zhen's face, but he couldn't help but think of them five years ago.

"Children are full of curiosity, and have strong hands-on and imitation skills. You can trust them more,"

"They're so loud...like ten thousand fat, colorful chicks chirping in my ears."

"Haha, Mr. Chen, your imagination is very childlike."

"Can they really take care of these smaller imps?"

"Define care."

"At least, don't bump and drop these babies, right?" Chen Zhen looked at the children who seemed to be playing around in front of him, only a few girls were holding the younger babies in a decent manner.

"Teacher Su, my brain is about to explode..."

"Don't worry, I will transfer the children in time when you blow up."

Su Qiyang suppressed a smile.

Chen Zhen said loudly: "Mr. Su, won't your conscience hurt?"

"No."

"I hope they don't leave me with a lot of trouble - like messing up the classroom, breaking a toy, or worse, hurting myself or someone else."

"Look, are they playing harmoniously? Well, don't worry, there are many teachers here who will take care of them. I guarantee that nothing will be left behind for your children and mine."

"Really?"

"Well, except for some happy memories."

"Happy memories? Well, except for me—Teacher Su, I really don't like chirping kids, they're horrible—like 1 cockroaches."

"Don't do that."

"Why can you be so patient with bloodless children?"

"Because of love and peace? Haha, just kidding."

Su Qiyang and Chen Zhen sat side by side on the floor, surrounded by countless cute animal pillows, cushions, seats and various small balls.Su Qiyang squeezed a ball casually, rubbed it back and forth, and finally threw it at a little girl.

"YoYo!"

The little girl named Yoyo caught the ball, giggled, and turned to look for other children.

"Sister, let's play ball."

Su Qiyang turned his head and smiled.

The sunshine outside the window is warm and bright, such strong and gentle light, the golden color is gorgeous, flowing and shining, like a long sparkling golden river, as if nourishing and blooming [-] heart flowers.

His side face was bathed in light, as calm as the sea, as warm as jade.

Chen Zhen was a little taken aback.

—he wanted to kiss him.

At this time, a boy with a round head and a slender body ran over with short legs, blinking his big eyes at Su Qiyang. His nickname was Pudding, but Su Qiyang preferred to call him "Little Prince".

"Mr. Su."

"Hi, my little prince."

The most handsome and lovely little pudding prince in the world tilted his head and asked him: "Ms. Su told us a story just now. She said that when you like someone, your heart will beat. Where is your heart?"

Su Qiyang patted his small round head tenderly, and pointed to his heart.

"The heart is here, do you want to listen?"

Little Pudding nodded obediently. He lay on Su Qiyang's chest and listened earnestly.

"I heard it."

Chen Zhen couldn't help laughing, and there was a bit of unconscious tenderness in his expression.

"Mr. Su, do you want to listen to my heartbeat?"

"Okay."

Su Qiyang picked up his little prince, listened carefully for a while, and then said with a smile: "I heard it too, your heart is pounding."

Little Pudding spoke with a smile.

"Yeah, it jumps very, very fast! Do you know? Jumping so fast means that it likes you very much!"

Chen Zhen was dumbfounded when he heard it——

Su Qiyang obviously didn't expect the child to say these words, he was stunned for a moment, and then showed a bright smile, hugging the little pudding and holding it high.

"Oh, thank you little prince! My heart also likes you so much!"

Little Pudding's smile was very calm.

"I know, it likes me the most."

After finishing speaking, he ran away with a bang!

Chen Zhen watched in amazement: "The children nowadays are too good at flirting..."

"I have taken care of this child for half a year. He is very cute, right? His name is Pudding, and I call him Little Prince. He was over three years old when he first arrived, and he has a little trouble managing his emotions."

"Huh? He is so small, emotional management?"

Su Qiyang looked very seriously: "No, it's because he is young. When the little prince was two years old, because his parents were busy with work, they sent him to kindergarten. Because of his young age, he always Wet his pants, and was scolded by the teacher in front of the whole class. Later, his mother found out that the little prince refused to go to the toilet. After asking, he found out, because he was afraid of being scolded by the teacher for wet pants, every time he wanted to pee He would break down and cry."

Chen Zhen frowned.

"However, he is much better after treatment. Now he is taking new classes and doing brain development. So, look——" Su Qiyang pointed to his heart with a satisfied expression: "Children are much cuter than adults. If you If you hate a child, you must hate the adults behind him, not the child itself."

Chen Zhen nodded thoughtfully.

"Chen Zhen."

"Ok?"

Su Qiyang suddenly asked: "Why did you make this call?"

Chen Zhen smiled.

"Because I want to talk to you."

"is it?"

"Do you think there is another reason?"

Su Qiyang was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Do you want to know what I think? At that time... nothing happened to us at all. You suddenly mentioned, whether you say these things or make this phone call, Chen Zhen -"

His face was hidden in the darkness.

"Does that make you feel more secure?"

Chen Zhen was stunned for a moment, but after ten seconds, he realized the profound meaning of these words, and felt his blood surge up suddenly, and his dark and clear eyes became deeper with anger.

"Su Qiyang."

He doesn't speak.

Chen Zhen asked in a deep voice, "Are you asleep?"

"……No."

Su Qiyang didn't understand.

Chen Zhen sneered, with an angry and restrained tone: "Do you remember the cafe near the museum where we met last time? I'll wait for you there."

Su Qiyang was stunned but slightly flustered.

"I……"

"Don't say you won't come!" Chen Zhen roared, and then apologized: "I'm sorry, I was in a bad mood just now, I apologize to you—Su Qiyang, if you don't come, I will wait for you there all night."

"Tomorrow I……"

"Su Qiyang, I, Chen Zhen, always do what I say, and you know me." He remembered the phrase "I will never bother you again" when his confession was ruthlessly rejected, and the time when he resigned and went north without looking back. Sure enough, there was a sudden pain in my heart.

"I will wait for you."

After speaking, he immediately hung up the phone.

After a long time, Su Qiyang wiped his face slowly, staring at the moonlight leaking in from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room in a daze - do you want to go?
