Xu Zhiyuan suddenly remembered an incident when he was seven years old——Xu Zhenping was drunk one day, and he carried him on his shoulders and took him out shopping.Little Xu Zhiyuan had never been so intimate with his majestic father, so this incident was deeply engraved in his memory.

Drunk Xu Zhenping jokingly said, when the little puppy can get a first-class exam to win the face of your father, I will take you out to play every day.

So for the first time, Xu Zhiyuan took the third place in a primary school with more than 20 children. This was his first and best time.

But Xu Zhenping had been on a business trip for more than half a month since that day.Xu Zhiyuan waited for him to come back every day, but Mrs. Xu framed the certificate for him and said, "Xu Zhenping never remembers what he said when he was drunk."

He remembered the mood at that time, as if someone threw it into a bucket of cold water and soaked it, so he ignored Mrs. Xu's scolding and took the award and painted it in a mess.

Now he does the same, crumpling up the test paper full of cumbersome step notes and throwing it into the trash.

He didn't know why the scab on his mood at that time would be lifted at this time.He felt that it seemed unreasonable to be angry with Yu Yao. He didn't let Yu Yao interfere in his private life, so his little uncle had his own life, and he had no right to interfere.

So after much deliberation, he had no choice but to attribute his anger to Yu Yao's broken promise as a teacher—to let the students flip through the books alone like headless chickens.

He ate breakfast irritably, went back to his room and locked the door, and slept lightly again, until near noon, he was awakened by a soft knock on the door.

"Zhiyuan," said the outsider, "it's time to endorse."

Xu Zhiyuan's anger flared up again, he mumbled under the quilt and said, "Get out, young master doesn't want to study."

Yu Yao was silent for a while, and said, "You made two flaws in your exam last night."

Xu Zhiyuan rushed barefoot from the bed to the door, opened the door, and really saw the crumpled paper in Yu Yao's hand, which had been flattened as much as possible, with neat marking marks on it.The redness of Yu Yao's eyes was probably the remnant of last night's drinking.

It's just a small cup to get drunk like this, what kind of wine do you still dare to drink.

He resisted blurting out this sentence, took the test paper, and said, "I don't even know how to write it. Don't read it, it's embarrassing."

He slowly tore off the paper and stuffed it into his trouser pocket.

The door was closed by him again.

Xu Zhiyuan didn't look at Yu Yao's expression. He sat on the edge of the bed in a daze for a long time, thinking that Yu Yao had left, rolled over and over again on the bed, covered his head with the quilt secretly, and put together the pieces of the paper Yes, see Yu Yao's comment.

He had just moved the last piece to its original position, when he heard a faint voice from outside the door: "If you don't recite the book...then let's practice the piano."

Xu Zhiyuan: "..."

Startled breaths blew the debris away.Xu Zhiyuan put the paper aside, pretending to reply calmly: "I'm not doing anything, I'm tired, I want to sleep."

Yu Yao said: "Then when will you wake up?"

"I do not know."

"Oh." After another long time, Yu Yao spoke again, "I forgot to have an appointment with you yesterday, sorry."

Xu Zhiyuan's heart was beating like crazy. He lay on his stomach and could hear the sound of it pounding against the mattress.

"Forget it and forget it, who cares about these things."

Yu Yao discussed: "Then how about practicing piano this afternoon? When do you wake up? Just come to the room and find me."

Xu Zhiyuan said: "... Whatever you want."

After carefully hearing Yu Yao's footsteps going away this time, he quickly crawled out of the quilt and picked up the debris.

The annotation is neat, the font is handsome, and the characters are like the person.In the end, Yu Yao also wrote a small line next to the pot-bellied chicken that he scribbled casually - "The drawing skills need to be improved."

Xu Zhiyuan actually lost his anger when he saw Yu Yao pick up his paper - he was even a little bit happier.It wasn't until Yu Yao's "sorry" that he was willing to show his feelings.

Xu Zhiyuan snorted softly, and drew a small man with a big head under the line, and painted a semicircle under a line as eyes, with a cold and depressed temperament.

Xu Zhiyuan drew with great relish, and finally wrote "Old Yu" next to it.

He didn't close the window, and the wind sneaked in, and when he was not paying attention, the graffiti and papers were blown away again.

"Hiss, that nasty wind." He frowned while tidying up.

After that, Xu Zhiyuan and his little uncle lived together peacefully for more than a month.

……

There have been many wars in recent years, and Huai City has been invaded by enemies.Because of the armistice agreement, this year is fairly peaceful.

Xu Zhiyuan knew a little about this, but he didn't care much about it. The prosperity of Huai City and the extraordinaryness of his family made him a beautiful protective shell, separating him from the worries of other sentient beings.

Winter is coming in a blink of an eye, the weather is getting cooler, and the dark time is getting earlier.

Mrs. Xu has always come home very late since she came back from business trips, and she likes to drag Yu Yao into the study for private chats.Xu Zhiyuan once stared at the light leak in the crack of the study door until late at night, but he didn't see Yu Yao come out.

He usually reads the affairs of the world from Mrs. Xu's brow, which is a barometer, and when she frowns tightly, it means that the wind and rain are coming again.Recently, he can't see the "situation" on his mother's face, as if it is not cloudy or sunny, but he feels quite stable.

Xu Zhiyuan wore a dark red scarf and went out to pick up Yu Yao from Ming University in the evening.Yu Yao was talking to the students in the office, and made a look through the window, telling Xu Zhiyuan to play by himself first.

Xu Zhiyuan let out a "tow", and blatantly entered the room and took away Yu Yao's violin case.

He went to the classroom where the ginkgo tree was planted in front of the door. He was very familiar with this place - this was the place where he and Yu Yao met for the first time, but now the golden leaves have fallen bald.

Just as he bumped into three female students coming out of the classroom, they were wearing light blue plain cardigans and long black skirts, as if they were exchanging some homework, and the shorter girl among them said: "...can't, How could they publish this kind of article..." She pointed to the black words on the paper, "You said that the pirates stationed here are 'cunning jackals ready to move, carrion vultures eyeing tigers', although the scolding is justified, but published it ..."

"It would be exciting if it was used in the wars a few years ago, but now that the armistice agreement has been signed, it is not a big deal to be rejected, but it is not good if it is labeled as a radical." Another female companion also said: explain.

But the tall woman with short hair reaching the ears frowned, looked at the letter paper, and said, "I want to try."

The rest of the girls looked at each other.

They seemed to know the temperament of the short-haired girl, so they sighed: "Forget it... then... I'll help you contact the classmates in the school newspaper."

The woman still shook her head and said, "I want to vote for Xihua Daily."

"This……"

The shorter girl went to marvel at its courage, and didn't hear the reminder from her friends, and bumped into Xu Zhiyuan when she was gesticulating with her hands.

"Ah..." She quickly apologized, "I'm sorry...student."

Xu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand to grab her, helped her to stabilize, and said with a smile: "Today, a master told me that I went out to meet good luck. It turned out that the opportunity was a girl. I also want to thank you."

Xu Zhiyuan is handsome and young, but he is quite a talent just by looking at the outside.The girl was so teased that she pursed her lips and smiled, blushing and hurriedly pulled her companions away with a smile.

Xu Zhiyuan glanced back at the short-haired woman, and continued walking towards the classroom.

……

"You recognize him?"

"Master Xu, my roommate and he participated in a salon...he is a little famous in the music department...do you know Mr. Yu from the physics department?"

"Of course I do."

"I heard that he is Teacher Yu's nephew."

The short-haired woman didn't say a word, her expression was always calm, but at this moment her footsteps froze.The companion walked for a while, saw her fall, and called her back: "Jianliu, let's go, what are you doing?"

Yue Jianliu clenched the article in his hand, followed, and asked, "That person just now... What is his name Xu?"

"Zhiyuan, you can't go far without tranquility," the companion said with a smile, "What's the matter, are you interested in Young Master Xu?"

Yue Jianliu shook his head and commented solemnly: "The name is very good."

Her companions laughed at her as an idiot, and she was going to be a husband and wife with pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the future.The short girl also wanted to join the teasing team, but suddenly thought of something, raised her eyebrows and said, "...No, you should be interested."

Yue Jianliu: "Huh?"

She whispered into Yue Jianliu's ear, "Master Xu's mother is Li Anrong, the editor of Xihua Daily."

Yue Jianliu blinked, and looked back, just in time to see the back of Xu Zhiyuan who had just entered the classroom.

……

Xu Zhiyuan's "A Gua Gua" was naturally calculated by Fu Shengun for him.

The original sentence is: "Anyone who has come to know the truth, if he encounters him on the road, he will be lucky—forty percent of the nobles, forty percent of the beauties, and the remaining [-] percent, the director and the shit are half and half."

Xu Zhiyuan is not afraid of the director, and he can't step on dog shit, so the encounters here are all good things.

He found a sunny place in the classroom.

Fortunately, he was playing music in an empty classroom, and there were echoes in all directions. Although this was not a good thing for the performance, he inexplicably liked this feeling.

The students who finished class hadn't finished walking yet, and a few sporadic ones cast their gazes at him.

Calluses had already formed on his fingers, unlike when he pressed them for a while, he felt pain.When the silvery rhythm flowed all over the room, Xu Zhiyuan opened his eyes, he heard the students applauding, and someone said at the door: "It sounds good."

Xu Zhiyuan looked at Yu Yao who didn't know when he appeared, and said happily, "Of course."

Yu Yao was holding a small notebook in his hand. When he walked in, he casually looked around at the students in the classroom, as if he was looking for someone, and everyone who looked at him respectfully called Teacher Yu.

The students left one by one. Yu Yao failed to find them, so he stuffed the notes back into his pocket and said to Xu Zhiyuan, "Let's go."

Xu Zhiyuan frowned and said, "Don't you ask me why I played this song "Moonlight"?"

Yu Yao looked at him, Xu Zhiyuan was not deep in the city, and his thoughts ran aground when he put it in, so he had no choice but to accommodate: "Why did you play this song."

"Because I like it, young master," Xu Zhiyuan took Yu Yao's hand in a gentlemanly manner, and rubbed the back of his hand against his lips - he knew that he was a repeat offender from his skilled appearance, and he said, "This is the first time I've heard of my little uncle. The piece I played is so precious to me..."

Yu Yao said without changing his expression, "What's the matter?"

Xu Zhiyuan immediately exposed the purpose of flattery without buffering, saying: "Xu Zhenping will come back tomorrow..."

"I will tell Zhenping truthfully how you are doing in reading and learning the piano. You don't have to take the shortcut of sweet talk." Yu Yao's tone was flat.

"No... As for Yu Yao," Xu Zhiyuan put his hand down, complaining and complaining, "We've been together for so many days, I've never been messed up, right? If you say something nice in front of him, you won't lose money." Meat!"

Yu Yao is still the same: "I will tell the truth."

Xu Zhiyuan snorted so angrily, picked up the violin and ran away first.Turning back halfway, he untied the scarf around his neck and threw it into Yu Yao's arms.

"My mother knitted a new scarf for you." Xu Zhiyuan said, "I wrapped it around when it was cold on the road, and it was quite warm. It is not easy to catch cold." After all, I was moved and felt that I was "distinguishing between public and private". After being moved, he continued to be angry and left far away.

Yu Yao stroked the remaining warmth on the scarf with his fingers, and some helpless warmth appeared in his eyes.
