scorching cold

Tao Zhuo lay on the long table in the classroom, watching Bei Tian draw with his cheeks propped up.

The most recent course of this class is traditional culture, Tao Zhuo’s courseware, looking for feelings from various old objects and folk patterns, today canvas tigers, put a few cloth tigers on the table to sketch the shape, the patterns inside let them Find the pattern design by yourself, and finally use watercolor to color, try to create the effect of fabric tie-dye.

The six children, with paint and water, took turns to guide them down, optimize their picture effects, and then simply glue and mount them, communicate with their parents one by one, send them away, and pack up teaching aids and painting materials... More than half of the get out of class time has passed The clock is ticking, and Li Suihan hasn't come to pick him up yet.

Bei Tian was not in a hurry, she poked a brush of paint and dipped it in water, like a silent Fauvist, having a great time playing.

"Bei Tian," Tao Zhuo called out to her, took out a piece of paper and wiped Bei Tian's cat-like face, "What the hell is your uncle thinking?"

"Huh?" Bei Tian was busy creating the second tiger, thinking that Tao Zhuo was in the way, she blocked his hands and tucked her hair behind her ears indiscriminately, and then dabbed some paint on the ears.

"He brought you here to paint, how did he tell you?" Tao Zhuo asked.

"If I come, you can buy me a roasted red pig." Bei Tian said.

Tao Zhuo: "..."

"It's sweet potatoes. Did he just say that?" Tao Zhuo didn't know what to do to respond, he was a little bit dumbfounded, "Do you want to eat it?"

"Hmm." Bei Tian shook her head without raising her head.

"Then let's go, I'll take you downstairs to buy." Tao Zhuo stood up and stretched his waist, and complained to Bei Tian after enduring and enduring, "Your uncle is really shameless!"

Bei Tian rinsed the pen before putting it down. Hearing what Tao Zhuo said, she grinned, showing a row of small white teeth, and one of her front teeth was missing. :"He is very busy."

"Oh." Tao Zhuo explained to Teacher Tong Tong who was sitting at the front desk, and led Bei Tian out, "Are you busy every day?"

"Yeah." Betty nodded, "I work late every day before I go home."

Tao Zhuo didn't know what to say, he thought he would have a movie and dinner later, and even sent you to the trial class as if it was real, but he didn't see what was busy.

He glanced at Bei Tian suspiciously, and said, "Couldn't it be that he told you to say it, why, you want to play the sympathy card?"

Bei Tian gave him a strange look and shook her head, expressing that she did not understand what you were talking about.

Tao Zhuo bought roasted sweet potatoes and hot milk for Bei Tian at the convenience store downstairs, and Bei Tian imitated him by stuffing the roasted sweet potatoes into his little apron pocket, letting Tao Zhuo hold one hand and drink the milk with the other.

After leaving the store, the shameless Li Suihan happened to park on the side of the road and walked this way from a distance.

Seeing two people, one big and one small coming out of the convenience store, wearing two aprons of the same style, one big and one small, he stopped to look at them for a while, and couldn't help but smile.

"What are you laughing at, crazy." Tao Zhuo muttered in a low voice, patted Bei Tian on the shoulder to let her go, then turned around and went upstairs.

He can't look at Li Suihan now, his heart is confused, and his mind is also confused. Two hours ago, the phrase "chasing you" had already circled his temple more than 8000 times. The more inexplicable I thought about it, the whole person was very tired and a little angry.

You can chase after anything. After two years of no contact, you open your mouth to chase after him. Do you need to chase after him?

Deep down in my heart, there was another voice that was inconvenient to show, shouting softly and secretly: Why did you go so early?Why didn't you agree when I chased you two years ago?Pretending to be like garlic, regret it!

Tao Zhuo walked in front with his apron in his pocket, and Li Suihan followed behind with Bei Tian. He didn't look at Li Suihan when he got into the elevator, but stood in front of the button wall, looking at Li Suihan's reflection in the blurred reflection of the elevator door. Can smell faint smoke.

Li Suihan didn't tease him, but asked Bei Tian with lowered eyelids: "How is the painting, are you happy?"

Bei Tian gave a succinct "hmm".

"What did Mr. Tao tell you?" Li Suihan asked again.

Bei Tian thought for two seconds before answering, "Say you're shameless."

Li Suihan: "..."

Tao Zhuo: "..."

Tao Zhuo was really embarrassed and happy at the same time, he almost couldn't help laughing, he lowered his head and rubbed his nose, and used the tip of his shoe to grind a shriveled melon seed over and over again.

"Oh." Li Suihan smiled, and flicked Bei Tian's head, "That's how you learn quickly."

When the elevator arrived, Bei Tian rubbed her head, followed Tao Zhuo back to the studio to take off her apron and backpack.

Under the watchful eyes of Teacher Tong Tong, Tao Zhuo had to pretend to hold Bei Tian's painting and boast to Li Suihan, saying that she is bold but careful, with her own requirements in her wildness, especially praised Bei Tian for being "sit still" ".

"The other children have been picked up, and she is not in a hurry." Tao Zhuo said.

Li Suihan could tell the level of Bei Tian's paintings at a glance. He smiled and said nothing, but apologized when he heard the last sentence: "Sorry, the studio has a temporary meeting, and I'm late."

Tao Zhuo handed the painting to him, saying goodbye.

"Let's have a meal," Li Suihan took the painting and said to Tao Zhuo, "I haven't eaten dinner yet, I'm hungry."

It’s okay not to mention it this time, but Tao Zhuo’s heart almost flares up when he mentions it.

His Snickers!

"No, I'll go home and eat." Tao Zhuo didn't even look at him, and turned to pack his things.

Li Suihan took Bei Tian downstairs, came to the front of the car and opened the door to let Bei Tian go up first, and said, "Go in and eat, I'll wait for Tao Zhuo, if I have something to say to him."

Bei Tian didn't bother to ask about him, so she got in the car as soon as she got in, turned on the heater and lowered the windows, and ate her roasted sweet potatoes.

As soon as he sat down firmly, Li Suihan stretched out his arm from the window and snapped his fingers at her with his palm facing up: "Give me a piece of chocolate from your bag."

Bei Tian took one for him.

Li Suihan took a look and sent it back: "Change to the one with hazelnuts."

Bei Tian: "..."

After about ten minutes, Tao Zhuo came down from upstairs with two bags of garbage, followed by Zhang Duo, who was bouncing around.

He intentionally waited upstairs for a while, fearing that he would meet Li Suihan when he went downstairs, but before he had taken two steps downstairs, two short horns sounded, and Tao Zhuo and Zhang Duo turned their heads to look at the intersection together. At night, a large and luxurious jeep was lit with warm yellow dome lights. Li Suihan was leaning against the car door, moving leisurely, withdrawing his hand from the car window to honk the horn, looking at him clearly.

Tao Zhuo suddenly "thumped" in his heart.

Not to mention anything else, just Li Suihan's face, figure, and casual attitude, he has been firmly established in his aesthetics since the second year of junior high school.

"That parent just now?" Zhang Duo narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Is it calling you? Do you two know each other? Do you want to go over?"

Tao Zhuo hesitated for a few seconds amid Zhang Duo's barrage of questions, and said to her, "You go first."

"Oh good." Seeing that Tao Zhuo didn't want to say anything, Zhang Duo immediately waved to him without asking anything, "See you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow." Tao Zhuo pulled the scarf towards his face, put it in his pocket, and walked slowly towards Li Suihan.

Anyway, ask him what he's crazy about.

He found a reason for himself full marks.

Li Suihan waited for Tao Zhuo to stand in front of him, raised his hand, and handed him the chocolate held between his fingertips.

Is this to compensate for the Snickers just now?

Tao Zhuo glanced at the taste, took the chocolate away, didn't eat it, squeezed it in his hand, stared at Li Suihan and asked straight to the point: "What on earth are you thinking? Let me wake up when I liked you, now it's your turn Are you dizzy?"

When he spoke, a faint white breath came out of his mouth, half of his face was covered by a scarf, and a pair of bright eyes were straightforward and puzzled.

Tao Zhuo's temperament has always been intermittent, and he couldn't breathe for a long time. In the evening, Li Suihan left behind the thoughtless words. He held back the whole class, and just let out a small breath. Now there was only pure inexplicability left.

"We've known each other for many years, and it took a while before I found out that I like someone," Li Suihan asked him back, "Is it strange?"

The question marks in Tao Zhuo's mind were about to pop out from under the Tianling Gai, and he felt unreasonable: "Isn't it strange?"

"Aren't you?" Li Suihan said.

Tao Zhuo opened his mouth, but couldn't find any words to refute for a while.

"Well, congratulations on recognizing yourself." He accepted this reason for the time being, and wanted to scratch his head a little bit. He looked at Li Suihan again with confused eyes, "But I don't like you anymore."
