walking slowly

At 03:30, there were not many people on Golden Street, and the cake shop was empty, so the two decided to go home after eating in the shop.

"What's the matter with your Chinese teacher recently, assigning so many homework?" Hao Shuang yawned again as he stirred his coffee.

"The mid-term exam is coming soon, it's normal, hehe, it's normal."

"Brother Xing, do you need me to write with you?"

"Then who made Class [-] a liberal arts class? Okay, isn't it because you believe in your level to ensure the correct rate?"

Jing Xi lowered her head and bit her straw guiltily, but she couldn't let him know that Zhou Xing asked Teacher Gu for extra homework.

"I can't find the answer on the Internet... No, he didn't correct a few of the mistakes I pointed out to him..."

"Ahem, I'm going to buy another cake and pack it back for supper."

After looking around in front of the cabinet, I still think the cheesecake looks the best, Jing Xi pointed her finger: "Give me another..."

Half of the words were cut off.

"Cheese one, pack it." A glittering gold card appeared out of nowhere, with colorful fingernails that were indescribably rustic.

"Yo, it's you," Fang Xiaoxiao pretended to meet by chance, "Are you here to buy cakes too?"

Jing Xi looked her up and down, her curly hair, earrings and miniskirt looked familiar but she couldn't remember the name, so she just nodded and said to the clerk, "Please pack another cheesecake for me."

"Sorry, there is only one last cake left, you two..."

Jing Xi immediately said: "Sister, line up."

Fang Xiaoxiao was incredible: "You called me?"

"Well, I ordered first."

Fang Xiaoxiao was blown away by her nonchalant tone, slapped the card on the table, and said arrogantly to the clerk: "I have already taken out my card, will you do business?"

It was only then that Jing Xi recognized that this was the nouveau riche girl that Mi Xin had mentioned.

The clerk hesitated to accept the gold card, and apologized to Jing Xi, "The next batch will be ready in four or 10 minutes. Would you like to wait a while?"

"No wait."

"Then take a look at our other cakes, they are also delicious."

Jing Xi shook her head, she would not take the initiative to try something she hadn't eaten before.She glanced at Fang Xiaoxiao, lowered her head and fumbled in her bag.

Fang Xiaoxiao was secretly refreshed, Jing Xi pestered Zhou Xing every day, and this time she finally made her suffer.

Before she could be happy, Jing Xi took out a card, waved it in front of her, and handed it to the clerk.

"You have the card?"

The other party took it and only glanced at it, then quickly packaged and delivered the cheesecake together with the two new hot desserts in the store.

"Sorry for being slow."

"you……"

The clerk returned the gold card to the bewildered Fang Xiaoxiao: "My guest, do you need anything else?"

Holding the packed cake box tightly, Jing Xi winked at her and walked away.

Fang Xiaoxiao was so angry that she pointed at the clerk's nose and was about to curse, but was stopped by the sentence "The customer's card is the VIP card of the group to which the store belongs".The other clerk next to me looked at it for a long time, and complained in my heart that there are still such upstarts whose credit cards have to be pasted in gold these days, so I couldn't help but give her some science: "Then the card is likely to be used by people above the general manager level of our group. Yes, it can be used in any store under the group or in cooperation with the group, and you can basically eat it all over the country without paying.”

Under the little girl's slightly contemptuous gaze, Fang Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth even more fiercely. She only heard that Jing Xi is the adopted daughter of a rich family, and the family property is so big?She stared at Jing Xi's leaving back, and tightly grasped the card in her hand.

She is just an adopted daughter, how capable can she be?

The school rang the bell for late school, and by this time all the teachers in the office had left.

Zhou Xing was lying on the table next to the desk where the homework was placed, moving the signature pen with his finger once and for all, occasionally glanced at Gu Mo secretly, and wrote two strokes on the paper.

With the other hand in his pocket, the atmosphere seemed quiet.

The pen was fiddled with and fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Teacher Gu."

"What's the matter?"

"I really want to hurry up...

"Quick what?"

"...enrollment."

"Oh why?"

"……nothing."

Hearing that his tone was a little low, Gu Mo withdrew from the homework pile.The boy next to him didn't know what he was thinking. Although his eyes lingered on the test paper in front of him, he was lazy and confused, as if he was planning something but just let his mind go.

Gu Mo put down his pen and stared at him for a while.

"Have you changed everything you were asked to change?"

"Ah."

The test paper was pulled out and checked carefully, and it turned out to be much better than the beginning.

"Okay, that's all for today, you go back and memorize the review papers that were issued in the past two days."

Without saying a word, Zhou Xing stood up and sorted out the stationery and books. His movements were very light, but the sound of paper rubbing against each other was still clear in the huge office.

Rustling, scratching my heart.

After packing up the bag and putting it on his shoulder, he opened his mouth in a three-point joke.

"Do you like sweets?"

Gu Mo was twisting the lid of the thermos cup, and he opened his mouth slightly in a daze without recovering.

Zhou Xing finally pulled his hand out of his pocket, stretched it out in front of him.

In his hand lay a round candy.

"Well, here it is for you."

Zhou Xing left for a long time before Gu Mo got up.Go to the door and press the switch, the office is dark.

The corridor light came in, and he stood in the shadow, looking in the direction of his desk.

On the table are neat homework and a lone candy.

The metal buildings on the street have lost their sharpness in the setting sun, and the outlines are much softer.

The scene is beautiful and pleasant, but the leaflets are a bit too much to hold when you go all the way to the end.

Jing Xi took a few out of them and studied and compared them as he walked.

"Yi Yi, watch the road!"

Hao Shuang rescued her from the impromptu collision with pedestrians for the fourth time, and asked helplessly, "Why are you picking up so many leaflets?"

"I'm moving this weekend. It turns out that it's hard to take the big things at home and I don't want to take the small things. After all, I have to buy a lot, so I don't need to read more advertisements. I can do it all at once in these two days."

"Let Brother Xing ask someone to make it for you, and it will be done in minutes."

"Then I can't appreciate the fun of shopping?"

"..."

Too much time was spent on the road, and Zhou Xing arrived home earlier than them.

"Okay, I brought you a cake." Jing Xi entered the door and waved the cake box in her hand to Zhou Xing.

After washing her hands, she put the dessert on the tea table and set it up on a plate. She couldn't help but praise the card Xia Ye gave for how useful it was.

"Wake up early tomorrow, and I'll ask Xiao Zheng to send your things there."

"it is good!"

"It's packed tonight."

"no problem!"

"Pack up useful things." Zhou Xing warned her.

"I try my best……"

On the other hand, Gu Mo, who had to wait for an extra bus because he got off work late, was nagged by his sister when he got home.

"Why did you come home so late on Friday?"

"I helped a student with two questions."

"Look at what time it is, it's later than me! I go out early and come back late every day, when will I have time to fall in love..."

"Sister, what do you want to eat today?"

"I'll do it today... Hey, don't interrupt, tell me if there is any female teacher you like in your school..."

"Sister, I'll tidy up the desk first." Gu Mo took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, preparing to go back to his room to hide.

"Wait!" Gu Qian quickly picked up the little fat ball that rolled out of the coat pocket from the ground with sharp eyes, "This is... candy?"

She excitedly called her younger brother: "Did the female teacher give it to you?"

Gu Mo was helpless: "No, it was given by the students."

"Student..." Gu Qian suddenly lost interest, threw the sugar back on the sofa, rolled up his sleeves and turned into the kitchen.

Gu Mo picked up the candy that had been rolled twice, thought for a while, peeled off the candy wrapper and put it in his mouth.

……

It's toffee.

A big toffee... Also, quite sweet?

The colorful candy paper is very beautiful, it looks like the kind that a little girl would buy, probably a gift from a little girl to Zhou Xing.

Just as he was about to throw it away, he suddenly found words printed on the inside of the candy wrapper, and began to read it.

"Are you going to be my world?"

"What a mess..."

He crumpled the candy wrapper again.

The swollen candy rolled back and forth in his mouth, hissing, it was so sweet that his cheeks hurt.

However, Zhou Xing's expression on putting down the candy while talking to himself... is really calm.

Rubbing the candy wrapper with his fingertips made a very small sound, which drowned out his sigh.

"It's really... people don't want to pay attention..."

It was already late at night when Jing Xi left, Zhou Xing stood on the balcony as usual and waited for her to return to the room to turn on the lights.

The bright moon is in the sky, as round as that toffee.

I don't know if he ate it...

The window lit up with a warm white halo, Zhou Xing calmed down and entered the room to start today's review.

Despite mental preparations, Zhou Xing's forehead twitched when he saw Jing Xi's packed package early the next morning.

"You won't have any objection if I bring these?" Jing Xi asked flatteringly.

"I haven't." Zhou Xing turned his head, "You ask him."

Under the gaze of the two, Xiao Zheng, who was carrying boxes beside the car, became more rigid.

"He didn't speak, so he shouldn't have any objections."

Xiao Zheng: "..."

"By the way, Xiao Shuangzi said that he has some kind of computer competition today, so let's not go."

"Who else did you call?"

"Last time you told me about moving, Xu Ziming and Hu Xiaoju heard about it and said they would come to help."

Zhou Xing opened the door: "Get in the car."

It's not the first time for the part-time driver Xiao Zheng to go to Yangming District, maybe because of his familiarity with the road, the bumps along the way are a bit crazy...

"Come on, isn't this road not very smooth..."

Zhou Xing didn't change his face: "It's because your box is too heavy, which increases the burden on the car."

The wheels rolled over another pit...

Jing Xi wailed: "You let me live in such a remote place for your own selfish desire, won't your conscience hurt?! And how will I go to and from school in the future?!"

"...It's not a big problem."

After 10 minutes, I looked out the window at the motionless cars.

"There is traffic jam in this small place?!" Jing Xi was very worried about her future life, "No wonder Mr. Gu didn't buy a car, this road is a test of skill..."

Hearing what she said, Zhou Xing had a headache, the roads were narrow and potholed, and Gu Mo's living environment was too bad.

Indeed... something is wrong.
