Shu Ke's Notes

"Shu Ke, I'm sorry to tell you this, but I think it's necessary to let you know...your report...may not be able to win an award."

Cheng Shuke's originally smiling face froze for a moment, and his brows unconsciously frowned.

Liu Shao looked beside him in a hurry, but he didn't want to interrupt the phone rashly, so he could only watch helplessly.

After being silent for a long time, Shu Ke said: "Well...Actually, I already knew about it a few days ago, and our editor-in-chief already told me." When he first got the news from the editor-in-chief, apart from being sad, I still had a little bit of luck, thinking that the situation on Zou Kai's side might be different, and the editor-in-chief might not be that familiar with the inside information... At this time, the only luck was unfortunately broken.In addition, he didn't know how to face Zou Kai as a friend. Thinking of the joy he showed when Zou Kai revealed to himself that he had won the competition, it seemed to be a joke at this time.

Zou Kai on the other end of the phone has always been smart, so he naturally understood Shu Ke's difficulties, so he was in a dilemma and hesitated: "Oh, that's right, I just got the news... Shu Ke, I'm really sorry, I know that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment." The bigger it is, it's actually my fault, I shouldn't have told you that earlier."

"Don't say that, how can I blame you! After all, this is also an opportunity to practice myself, and I have done something beneficial to the society, right? Besides, if it weren't for you, I would never know about this competition. Well. It doesn’t matter if you didn’t win the prize, there will definitely be chances in the future.”

Although he said so on the lips, he knew very well in his heart that it was purely accidental that he was able to write this report this time, and the probability of encountering it again was already very small.In fact, Shu Ke doesn't care about the award itself, but whether it can be adjusted. The editor-in-chief has already made it clear to him last time. If he misses this opportunity, there may be no hope of adjusting the version.But he really didn't want to stay in the entertainment section any longer. He was afraid that he would deviate from his original ideal for too long and would lose track of what he had planned.But no matter what, Zou Kai is a friend who sincerely helps him and really thinks about himself, so he still sincerely thanked the other party.

After hanging up the phone, Shu Ke pretended nothing happened, and smiled broadly: "Wow, this dish looks delicious." As he spoke, he forked a chicken wing in front of him with a smile and took a big bite.

"This is a special dish here, if you try this again, it will be very good."

Naturally, Liu Shao didn't want to affect their rare date because of some troubles. He saw that Shu Ke obviously didn't want to get entangled in this issue, so he just pretended that he didn't see or hear it.When Shu Ke hung up the phone just now, Liu Shao had glimpsed that the caller was Zou Kai, and he could probably guess what happened from the content of the conversation with Shu Ke, and planned to contact Zou Kai in private to ask the whole story.

Although there were some discordant episodes interspersed with it, the date was generally enjoyable.After the meal, Liu Shao naturally asked to stay at his home for the night, but Shu Ke couldn't help but blush and heartbeat when he thought of the night last night. He really didn't want to provoke another scolding from his boss for "the king will not go to court early", so he quickly rejected him. The invitation made Liu Shao send him back to the school gate.

It is said that a little farewell is better than a newlywed, not to mention that Shu Ke and Liu Shao have been separated for four full years, and they are even more sticky, and they have been dating continuously during this time.Even Li Jia, a rough and nervous nerd who only knows how to play games, has seen some clues. When asking Shu Ke if you are in love, the other party's evasive attitude, making Li Jia even more sure .

On this day, it was the weekend again, and there was continuous drizzle outside the window, and when the small wind in late autumn blew, there was a chill in the air.Liu Shao had already asked Shu Ke to go out one day in advance, and asked where he was going, but he didn't say anything, but said mysteriously, "Dress more formally."

Shu Ke knew that Liu Shao was a person who didn't like to go out, and usually liked to stay at home with him, not to mention the weather like this.After listening to the other party's order to "dress more formally", although I didn't know what the other party was going to do, but my intuition seemed to be something important, so I foolishly put on a suit and came out.

Liu Shao drove to the school gate to pick up people, and saw Shu Ke, who was wearing a pure black suit and holding a crooked umbrella in the wind and rain, walking towards him from a long distance away, feeling distressed and wanting to laugh.When someone walked in, he quickly got out of the car and opened the door to let Shuke sit in the car, and said with a smile, "Why are you here dressed like this?"

Shu Ke moaned and complained: "Isn't it because you asked me to dress up...be more formal?"

"I mean..." Seeing Shu Ke's white eyes flying over again, Liu Shao hurriedly raised his hands in surrender: "Well, it's my fault, it's my fault!"

Shu Ke, who was sitting in the car, wiped the rain marks on his suit with his hands, and realized that his clothes were indeed a bit strange, as if they were too formal, so he asked hesitantly, "Then... shall I go back and change now? "

"Forget it, don't bother, it's still early anyway, let's go to eat first, and then go to the mall to buy ready-made ones." Liu Shao didn't allow the other party to refuse, and stepped on the gas pedal directly.

Walking in the shopping mall, you can often see this scene: a girl walks like flying with a pair of high heels, trying on them like a chicken blood, while a boy sits beside him like a wilt, waiting boredly.

But Liu Shao and Shu Ke are different. The two big boys seem to be very active in shopping, especially Liu Shao. It is a great pleasure for him to go shopping with Shu Ke to buy clothes, and he chooses them with great joy.

Under Liu Shao's staff, Shu Ke quickly chose a suitable suit to put on, a white round-neck sweater and a light gray plaid jacket, paired with a pair of simple black slacks, the whole person looked very quiet And warm.Liu Shao couldn't help kissing Shu Ke's forehead, and sincerely admired: "So handsome!"

Shu Ke smiled a little embarrassedly: "I think it's okay..."

Liu Shao snapped his fingers: "Now we can set off."

Shu Ke who was being dragged forward: "Hey, where are you taking me!"

Liu Shao kept his mouth shut and refused to reveal a word until the car stopped at an old family courtyard.

Cheng Shuke looked at this seemingly ordinary family courtyard, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Liu Shao's gourd.

Liu Shao took out a box of beautifully packaged tea from the back seat, and pulled Shu Ke to go upstairs: "Today I will take you to meet a teacher of journalism and media. I was afraid that you would be nervous, so I didn't tell you in advance. You can chat casually." Well, don’t you have a lot of professional ideas, you can talk about them with the teacher.”

Although Liu Shao was careless, Shu Ke's footsteps stopped, and he was so anxious that he stuttered: "You, you... why are you like this! If you didn't tell me earlier, wouldn't I be more nervous! What am I? Not even prepared."

"No need to prepare, just say what you think, be polite, don't be nervous, let's go!" Liu Shao pulled Shu Ke who was stunned, and walked towards the corridor.

After the doorbell rang, someone came to open the door soon. Shu Ke was full of "Be polite and don't be nervous", and when he came up, he just bowed: "Hello, teacher!"

The person who opened the door was obviously taken aback, then covered his mouth and laughed again: "Hahaha, you are really interesting, I am not a teacher."

Cheng Shuke took a closer look, and it turned out that the person who opened the door was a little girl, not necessarily in the same grade as himself, and blushed in embarrassment.

"You are Grandpa's guests, come in, he is in the study." The girl stepped aside and shouted to the back room, "Grandpa, someone is looking for you."

"Come in." said the voice in a correct tone.

The study room is plain and simple, without any luxurious decoration. Apart from the large bookcase occupying one wall, the most eye-catching thing is the delicate and unique tea set placed on the bamboo coffee table.Sitting beside the tea table was an old man in his seventies, with kind eyes and kind eyes, wearing an unremarkable cotton shirt, making tea leisurely.

"Shu Ke, this is Teacher Wu." Liu Shao introduced.

"Hello, Teacher Wu!" Shu Ke quickly bowed and said hello.

"I don't have anything I can give you. I know you love yellow tea, so I got this by chance. You can taste it." Liu Shao handed the gift.

Mr. Wu took it and looked at it, sighed: "Good stuff." Then he said to Shu Ke: "Young man, come and sit down."

Shu Ke quickly thanked him, and sat down at the coffee table tremblingly.

"Xiao Liu, go to the living room and watch TV for a while, I will talk to this little classmate."

"Okay, let's chat." Liu Shao smiled at Shu Ke and went out.

After Liu Shao left, Cheng Shuke became more nervous, and Mr. Wu could naturally see his nervousness, and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, I don't know how to eat people."

"No...no." Shu Ke stammered in embarrassment.

Mr. Wu took a sip of tea slowly, "You and Xiao Liu have a good relationship, don't you?" As soon as he opened his mouth, Shu Ke was in a cold sweat.

Shu Ke swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with difficulty: "Very...very good."

"How good is it?" The old man was still smiling.

"..."

"Haha, I won't tease you anymore." Mr. Wu put down his teacup, "I heard from Xiao Liu that you wrote a good report?"

Hearing that the topic was finally on the right track, Shu Ke nodded quickly: "Well, I wrote an article, but it's not very good..."

"Well, I saw it..." Mr. Wu nodded. "It's quite ordinary."

"..."

"It became popular, but it was just an opportunity to catch up with the country's introduction of new policies."

"...It's true, that's right."

"How did you think of writing this in the first place? Generally, the news reports of college students focus on what happened on the campus around them."

So Shuke talked about his opportunities at that time one by one. When he talked about the frightening unannounced visit, he couldn't help getting excited, and unconsciously told a series of incidents such as retaliation later, and didn't think of it until the words were out of his mouth. , Would it be inappropriate to tell the teacher these things.

Fortunately, Mr. Wu didn't react abnormally, instead he sighed: "Your boy is very bold."

After the topic was opened, Shu Ke's nervousness gradually decreased, and he found that Mr. Wu is a grandfather who loves to communicate with others. He is witty, humorous, sharp and sensitive, and he is a good chat partner.

"Today is not only your blessing, but also my honor." Wu Lao said, opened the tea gift box Liu Shao gave him, and took out two tall glasses.

Boiling water in the kettle, preheating the glass, and wiping off the water droplets on the glass wall, Mr. Wu's movements were coherent and skillful.

"Preparation work seems useless, but it cannot be ignored. Even a little bit is enough to affect the taste of tea."

Mr. Wu scooped out some tea leaves with a teaspoon and put them into the cup, then poured boiling water into the cup, first urgently and then slowly, until the water was half full.The tea leaves seem to be caught in a torrent, and fate turns ups and downs uncontrollably.

"Water temperature is very important. If it is too low, the aroma of the tea leaves will not be released; if it is too high, the tea soup will be bitter."

After a while, add hot water to [-]% and place a piece of glass on top of the cup. The tea leaves will gradually unroll, float up and down, and the tea soup will gradually turn yellow.

"The next step is to wait. Good things take time, and the same goes for tea."

The golden-yellow tea buds are covered with uniform pekoe, like silver needles, and the fruit bears its name.When the tea soup is orange-yellow and clear, the glass piece is uncovered, and immediately the aroma is overflowing, and the room is filled with clearness.

Old Wu pushed one of the cups to Shu Ke. Shu Ke nodded his thanks, but he just reached out to drink, but was stopped by Old Wu.

"Don't worry, it's not yet time. Good tea lies not only in the final 'tasting', but also in 'smelling' and 'appreciation'."

The tea leaves hang upright in the water, like a group of bamboo shoots breaking through the ground, and after a while, they sink slowly.After three ups and downs, Mr. Wu finally said: "It's time, please." Then he picked up the cup and took a sip.

Shu Ke picked up the cup and took a sip. It was slightly sweet in the mouth and had a sweet aftertaste. It was completely different from the inherent bitterness of tea in the impression.

"How is it? Comment?" Mr. Wu took a sip of tea slowly and asked.

Shu Ke took another sip, tilted his head and thought for a while and said, "Not bad, it's delicious!"

Mr. Wu was stunned for a moment, never expecting that such a precious tea would only be rated as "good, delicious", and he couldn't help laughing happily after realizing it.

The author has something to say:

I always feel that Mr. Wu is like the Taoist monk 233333 in the chicken soup story. What should I do~(@^_^@)~
