night

After the war, Shen Xi stayed in the army. Fang Zhengqing was not as good as Shen Xi at all. After so many years of fighting, he had a lot of secret injuries, so he resigned from the kindness of his promotion and retired to teach.

In the year 278 of the Yuan calendar, Fang Zhengqing returned from studying abroad and was employed as a professor at Zhonglin University.

This is the first year of the resumption of the college entrance examination. A lot of waste is waiting for prosperity. People with lofty ideals are full of blood to protect the country.

Shen Xi sat in the car and waited for 5 minutes without waiting for him, so he traced his memory to Fang Zhengqing's classroom.

Fang Zhengqing was surrounded by students asking questions.Blackboard writing is neatly written on the blackboard in the classroom, and there are some derivations.

Fang Zhengqing is a little short-sighted, usually fine, but he always wears glasses when reading and lecturing.After listening carefully to the students' thoughts, he turned around and wrote a few formulas on the blackboard with chalk. The students below each showed a clear look, and Fang Zhengqing smiled shyly on top.

Shen Xi couldn't bear to disturb him, so he found a seat at the back of the classroom, and watched the people on the podium tenderly.

The wait was another four and ten minutes.

Shen Xi watched the people around Fang Zhengqing gradually disperse before walking onto the stage.Fang Zhengqing didn't expect him to come, he was a little surprised: "How long have you been waiting?"

While packing up Fang Zhengqing's handouts, books, and pens, Shen Xi replied: "Not long."

Fang Zhengqing looked at his watch and patted his head: "Look at me, I forgot the time as soon as I gave a lecture to the students. Why didn't you come up to remind me after waiting for so long."

Shen Xi just said: "I'll wait for a while, it's nothing."

Fang Zhengqing and Shen Xi got into the car together, and apologized to Xiao Wu.

It was lunch time, and some students didn't want to eat in the cafeteria, so they bought roasted sweet potatoes from the street to satisfy their hunger.Peel off the red skin, revealing the golden yellow and soft flesh of the melon, which is wafting with heat.

Fang Zhengqing sighed: "I think of the time of war, sometimes the folks in the village would give some sweet potatoes, and we would use stone kilns to roast sweet potatoes and eat them.

Shen Xi asked him: "Do you want to eat?"

"A bit."

Shen Xi turned his head and ordered: "Stop the car."

Fang Zhengqing hurriedly stopped him: "Don't buy it now, I'll just go by myself after class tomorrow, and the food at home will be cold if I keep messing around."

Shen Xi pursed her lips: "I'll go for a run, soon."

Fang Zhengqing persuaded again: "I've been teaching all morning, I'm already hungry, and I just want to go home at noon and eat some hot food."

Only then did Shen Xi reluctantly shut up.

After dinner in the evening, Xiao Wu wanted to go home to take care of the children, Fang Zhengqing asked him to drive the car away so that the trip would be faster.

The dishes were done, the news broadcast was over, Fang Zhengqing went upstairs to prepare lessons, and Shen Xi was still thinking about what happened at noon.

Fang Zhengqing didn't eat this roasted sweet potato, he always felt that it was not a good taste.

Shen Xi glanced secretly, the upstairs lights were on.He planned to go out and throw garbage for 5 minutes. He only needed 1 minute to run there, and the remaining 4 minutes round trip was [-] yuan, which was more than enough to buy a sweet potato.

He put on his clothes and yelled upstairs, "I'm going out to throw out the trash", which was regarded as a report.

Fang Zhengqing was tired from preparing lessons, so he went downstairs to find some water to drink, and when he looked at the clock, it was already 08:30, and he wondered where this man threw the trash.

This is the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the infrastructure is not complete. Looking down from upstairs at night, the whole road is pitch black, and only a street lamp can be seen from a long distance away, emitting a dim yellow light.

Fang Zhengqing looked by the window for a long time but couldn't find Shen Xi's shadow in the darkness, instead, he jumped out of all kinds of injured Shen Xi like a lantern.

The more Fang Zhengqing thought about it, the more frightened he became. He couldn't stay at home anymore. He took the key and went out. The cold wind was blowing outside. He walked along the road and went back and forth twice, but he didn't see anyone.

When I walked downstairs for the third time, the lights in the house were on.

Fang Zhengqing's heart finally fell down, and then anger rushed to his head. He went upstairs, opened the door with a key, and gave a scolding to Shen Xi who had just returned home: " Where have you been, do you know how worried I am?"

Shen Xi was a little puzzled, but since Fang Zhengqing was angry, he must have done something wrong, so he obediently received the reprimand with his hands behind his back.

It wasn't until Fang Zhengqing said that he went down to look for it for a long time that Shen Xi realized it, and said distressedly: "Then why don't you wear more."

Fang Zhengqing said that he was tired and sat on the sofa. He was even angrier when he heard this, so don't turn your head and ignore him.

Shen Xi knew that he had said the wrong thing again, so he moved lightly to the dining table and brought over the sweet potatoes he had just bought, and then cautiously approached them.

Fang Zhengqing was taken aback: "Did you go to buy this just now?"

"Well," Shen Xi nodded honestly: "The baked sweet potato stall downstairs is sold out, so I ran to your school to buy it."

Zhonglin University was five kilometers away from home, and in such a harsh winter, Shen Xi did this just for him, Fang Zhengqing's heart softened into a puddle of water, and no amount of anger could be aroused.

He pushed Shen Xi onto the sofa, and stretched out his hand to touch his face. It was really cold. He scolded Shen Xi: "Stupid or not, I said that I will buy it myself tomorrow, so I can still lose myself? You ran so far, Are you tired?"

Shen Xi peeled the steam off the sweet potato for him, and handed the still steaming sweet potato to Fang Zhengqing: "It's okay, eat it while it's hot."

Fang Zhengqing was made impatient by him, but he couldn't get angry with Shen Xi, so he had to take a bite, and his mouth was full of sweetness.

Fang Zhengqing's students once said to him: "Sir, I heard that some people said that you and Mr. Shen have a habit of cutting off sleeves and look down on you. Why don't you argue with them?"

Fang Zhengqing corrected his homework without blinking his eyes: "Everything he said is true, why should I argue?"

"But this..."

Fang Zhengqing looked up at him, and thousands of brilliance were hidden in it: "Shen Xi is a friend and a lover to me. Because it is Shen Xi who accompanied me all the way, so I have never regretted it, and I have never felt ashamed of the world."
