Love on the left bank, you on the right bank

Midsummer is over, the weather is getting cooler, and it's time for autumn.

I filled some water from the bathroom, poured some water on the dying baby's breath, and put it back in the corner of the desk.

The small and lovely gypsophila has accompanied me through the midsummer light years. I will not feel sad for its withering. I know that it will still be in full bloom next year.

This year can be called eventful, the publishing house is getting more and more busy, and our Grumpy Queen writer has been busy recently, so I am still relatively leisurely.

Of course, this is only before my excellent editor-in-chief, Peixuan, starts to press me like a devil, everything is beautiful......

"Xiao Zuo—my dearest writer, where is your new book?"

I was taken aback, my spine felt chills, and I gasped, the gaze behind me was too cold haha...

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"""

"What did you say? Huh?" Peixuan...don't laugh so harmlessly...

I scratched my head and had to be honest, "Actually, I don't have a clue about the new book. Although you know I'm not an 'inspirationalist', I really don't know what to write..."

Peixuan raised her eyebrows, and finally she was willing to let go of my collar, "It's so strange, other authors have a steady stream of inspiration, and they want to open a new hole before this hole is filled. You are the opposite of others."

Facing Peixuan's confusion, I could only smirk.

"Do you want to have dinner together after get off work today?" Peixuan changed the subject thoughtfully. I know she has always been under performance pressure, but she shoulders it and gives me the greatest freedom. This is Peixuan.

"Ah... I can't help it today." Glancing at the clock, it turned out that it was almost time to get off work.

"Have you invited Yuzu to dinner again?" Pei Xuan narrowed her eyes with a malicious smile on the corner of her mouth, "You guys really meet each other a lot recently."

"Today I'm not only eating with Li Xingyou, but also eating with my inspirations."

"Inspirations?"

"That's right!" I laughed out loud, causing her to roll her eyes. "Who is it? You better give me a manuscript!"

"Today I'm going to have dinner with Xu Haicen and the president, plus that little shrew."

Peixuan froze in place, opened her mouth wide in disbelief, and I took advantage of her trance to clock in and leave work quickly!

"I'm leaving first!" I picked up my bag and waved goodbye.

As soon as she stepped out, she heard Pei Xuan yelling from behind: "Hey, hey! Remember to tell me about the meal──"

After answering "yes", not only Peixuan was looking forward to it, but so was I.

Pushing open the glass door of the restaurant, after a short greeting with the waiter, she led me to the reserved seat.

Well, it's exactly six o'clock, very punctual.

As soon as I walked into the box, I saw Xu Haicen and the president already sitting in it, although I was stunned for a few seconds before I recognized it was the president.

"Xu, Xu Haicen, who is this handsome T next door to you?" I was terrified!

The president sitting next to Xu Haicen scratched his head embarrassingly. Not only did his skin turn dark, but even his hair was cut short. Albus, man, tell me this isn't true!

The president scratched his head, Sunshine with the same smile said, "Long time no see, Xiao Zuo."

I sat across from them, and the reunion after so many years made me feel so satisfied and happy. "President, have you had a good life these past few years? Haven't you been squeezed dry by Xu Haicen?"

"It's been a good time! I'm really glad that I participated in the exchange student program before I could go to a foreign sports institute as an exchange student, otherwise I wouldn't have met Xu Haicen. Sure enough, people still have to go to other places to see the world Wide! And ah......"

Xu Haicen stared at the president quietly with a smile that was not a smile, and I had a feeling of "that's great".

As if he finally sensed our gaze, the president slowly fell silent, and asked in a daze, "Uh...why are you all looking at me like that?"

"Look at your stupidity." Xu Haicen was still direct, really nostalgic.

The shocked look on the president's face made me laugh out loud, "President, it's really hard work for you."

"You are the one who worked hard." That somewhat sad tone contained a kind of reluctance and shock, as well as overflowing distress.I shrugged and smiled lightly, "It's okay, I'm fine."

"Ah!" The president seemed to suddenly think of something, and suddenly called out, causing Xu Haicen to roll his eyes again, "Who do you want to scare to death?"

"I have something very important to show you!" The president said while taking out the phone from the bag, and continued to read, "I almost forgot the important things in the phone."

"Huh? What the hell is it? You have held a mobile phone for too long!" I couldn't help teasing her, but I didn't know what was in her hand. It was enough to make my eyes hot again after a few months.

The president slid open the desktop of the phone, and a photo that was still full of colors many years ago fell into my eyes, and I was speechless for a while...

"Do you remember? We took a group photo when we graduated. We pushed you and your teacher into the middle, she put her hand on your shoulder, she turned her head and smiled softly..."

I stared blankly at the photo, looking at the figure of the teacher. She really turned her head and stared quietly at the 17-year-old me, not the camera.

"...Can you pass this to me? I'll give you the Line account."

The phone vibrated, and I immediately slid open the screen lock, looking at the faint smile on the screen, my chest was so painful, so painful, but I didn't feel sad at all.

"I'm going to the bathroom." After saying that, I got up immediately, ignoring the president's yelling, and the moment I turned around, my tears rolled down quietly.

Leaning against the wooden door, I tightly clenched my phone and hugged it to my chest, crying loudly.

Teacher, you are really still by my side, you have not left, right?

Thank you.....Thank you for always staring at me and silently guarding me.

I couldn't help laughing while crying, and it was great to see the teacher.

That's great......

A few months later, autumn passed, winter came, and at the same time it was almost Christmas and the teacher's birthday.

The clock on the wall is slowly pointing to twelve o'clock. For an office worker, it is time to sleep, not to mention facing a group of monkeys the next day. Cough, I mean innocent little ones, such a country The little teacher should have gone to bed long ago, but there was one person who just refused to go to bed.

"Hey, great writer, you must do what you promised me!" The little shrew on the other end of the phone still sounded full of energy?I'm almost sleepy.

"Yes, yes, I will be there on time on Friday. May I ask Miss Li, will you let me go to sleep? My phone is about to catch fire."

"Ah, it's already twelve o'clock?" I couldn't help rolling my eyes, I reminded her half an hour ago!

I rubbed my eyes and yawned, "Anyway, I'll see you again after school tomorrow, can you hang up?"

"Then let me ask one last question!"

I lay dead on the bed, buried my face in the pillow and murmured, "Okay, okay, say what you say."

"What is our relationship now?"

I froze for a moment, and after avoiding the question for several months, I was finally asked by her.

"...I don't know." I thought for a few seconds, before waiting for her response, I said "good night" hastily, and hung up the phone.

With my eyes half-opened, I looked at the screen of the phone that was turned off. It looked like Li Xingyou's dark eyes, but her eyes were very clear and beautiful, as if they were shining with the starlight of the entire starry sky.

I closed my eyes and let the heavy sleepiness lead me to sleep.

I like festivals, and I prefer warm blessings and happy smiles.

Risking the shame of being laughed to death by passers-by, I put on the costume of Santa Claus and accepted the "care" of the guards. I deeply feel that this is the most shameful day in my life.

Dad should be thankful that he is still in Hong Kong, so he doesn't have to worry about the paparazzi chasing him to Taiwan and publishing his daughter's stupidity of going all out at this time in the newspaper.

It's really hard to wander around dressed like this in elementary school without being surrounded by a group of monkeys, cough, I mean the pillars of the country.

The teachers covered their mouths and smiled, as if they were trying hard not to laugh. I should be glad that I have a big white beard, and I will never recognize who I am──

"Sister Zuo!" I wanted to be smashed to death by the candies in the bag!Tangtang ran up to me and jumped excitedly, "Sister Zuo is Santa Claus!"

"Cough cough, I'm Santa Claus, not little left sister." I deliberately lowered my voice, Tangtang tilted her head and looked at me, "Aren't you little left sister?"

"It's not!" Probably...

Tangtang ran over to hold my hand, the small hand was about half the size of mine, soft and comfortable, "Then Santa Claus, come to our classroom!" I was dragged away by Tangtang like this, The candies and gifts in the big bag behind were a bit heavy, but seeing the happy smiles of the children, the tiredness disappeared.

"Okay, okay, be quiet." Li Xingyou hugged her stomach and laughed wildly, and my face turned black instantly.She laughed till she burst into tears.He told the children to be quiet without majesty, but fortunately there is still Xiaoguang who is calm.Xiaoguang stood on the podium with a small body, drove the monkeys back to their seats one by one, and told everyone to be quiet with a straight face.

"Little Sister Zuo, you can talk now." Xiao Guang waved to me. He looked so grand and beyond his age. He really had a future. He was worthy of being the teacher's son.

Li Xingyou played Christmas songs and even attracted children and teachers from other classes. Finally, everyone moved the tables and chairs outside. The small classroom was crowded with many people, so it was very lively.

Although the weather is cold, everyone feels warm when nestled together. Driven by Li Xingyou, the children all laughed happily.

I stood aside and looked at Li Xingyou's hard-working figure, and couldn't help but smile. She suddenly turned her head and smiled brightly at me. At that moment, my chest was pulled.

It feels so warm... I touched my chest, it was really warm.

At this moment, I realized—that I could still laugh because of the warmth.

I opened the big bag and took out a lot of candy to distribute to everyone, as well as small gifts. Although the order was chaotic, no one was crying or making trouble, which made me very relieved.

After the candy was distributed to the back, Xiaoguang suddenly stood in front of me and tugged on my trousers.I knelt down and patted his head, "Little brother, what's wrong?"

"Little Sister Zuo." He threw himself into my arms, and I hugged him tightly, "Xiao Guang is so smart, how did he know that I am Little Zuo Sister?"

"Because my mother said, Sister Xiaozuo is a very warm person, so I recognize you as Sister Xiaozuo."

My eyes were hot and my nose was sour. I blinked, but I couldn't cry in front of these little devils.

"May I tell Little Sister Zuo a secret?" I nodded, and Xiaoguang leaned into my ear. The childish voice said these words, which made it even more difficult for me to express my feelings at the moment.

"Today is my mother's birthday. I miss my mother so much, and I really want to grow up quickly. My mother said that she has gone to a far, far away place. If I miss my mother, I look at the stars, because my mother is there, and she She also told me that I can look at the stars with Sister Zuo, she wants me to be strong and brave not to cry, because I have to protect Sister Zuo and Tangtang..."

I held Xiaoguang tighter, and asked softly, "Xiaoguang, can you origami airplane?"

Xiaoguang nodded, and I held back my tears and smiled and said, "Then you ask the teacher for a piece of paper, and then, write down what you want to say to your mother on the paper, and then fold it into a paper airplane. After you fold the paper airplane, Come find my sister again, and I will give you a present."

Missing can make a person brave.

Looking at Xiaoguang lowering his head and writing seriously, he seemed to see the figure of the teacher correcting the exam papers.

I also asked Li Xingyou for paper and pen, and wrote word by word:

Teacher, have you seen your mother?Did you say hello to her for me?

Xiaoguang is a very brave boy, thank you for making him a warm and sunny boy, please don't worry, I will take good care of Xiaoguang.

After you leave, I will become as strong and brave as Xiaoguang, we will work hard to live, and you will always be in my heart.

I don't know where Xiaoguang and I will fly the paper airplane, but I know, you will be able to receive it, right?

Happy birthday, Yuyun.

I led Xiaoguang out of the classroom, I hugged him and looked at the endless starry sky, letting the cool evening wind blow our faces.

"Xiaoguang, will it be cold?" I hugged him tighter, and he shook his head.

"Little Hikari." I rubbed his hair, trying to give him some strength. "You have to remember that everyone around you loves you very much. This is a Christmas gift from Sister Zuo, please keep it well."

Under the exquisite packaging, it is a photo album.

I collected photos of teachers in the mirror everywhere, and I also asked Wen Guanyu for some, and then compiled them into a photo album. Although it took me several months, it was very, very worthwhile.

In that album, there was only one photo missing—a photo of me and my teacher.

Xiao Guang held the gift in one hand and the paper airplane in the other, looking at me suspiciously.I smiled, pointed to the brightest star in the distance and said, "Did you see the brightest star? That's where my mother is. Count to three and let's shoot paper airplanes together."

Images from years ago suddenly flashed into my mind.

"Come on, come on, look here, I'll shoot on the count of three!" 』

『The teacher and the school girl stood closer, someone was cut. 』

"Congratulations, you have been promoted to the third grade." 』

I smiled slightly and looked at the little hand on my shoulder, which warmed my heart.At that time, the teacher used to put my shoulders on my shoulders, and now, his son has also made the same move.

"One, two, three—"

"Crack──"

I raised a smile and shot the paper airplane in my hand vigorously.Two paper airplanes ride the night wind and fly to the distance until the end is invisible.

Some thoughts, I believe, can be conveyed far away.

The smile on the corner of his mouth never slipped, but it was a little more salty.

Xiaoguang, Wen Chengguang, he really became the light that illuminates my front.

In this world, you are not alone.

After the Christmas party, I changed into my Santa costume, relieved, and rolled up my sleeves to help clean up the mess.

"Great writer, thank you today." Li Xingyou moved to my side and said gratefully, "It's the first time I've had such a happy Christmas since I was teaching!"

"How many years have you been teaching? You are very experienced." I patted her forehead and continued to sweep the floor.

"Hey! I really want to thank you!" Li Xingyou jumped up and down beside me, I stroked her head and helped her mess up her hair, "Take a rest, your face is covered It's so red."

"Is there?" She touched her cheek, "It should be because I had so much fun, because of you!"

I paused for a few seconds, then continued to sweep the floor as if nothing had happened, trying to ignore the woman with the ponytail exuding a pure and beautiful aura.

I had just put down the broom when Li Xingyou came over again, this time with a gift in her hand. "No, Christmas gift, accept it gratefully!"

I accepted the gift angrily and amusedly, how could anyone ask for that?

"What is this? It feels so light and soft." I squeezed the package, raised my head and asked her expectant look, "Can I open it now?"

"Well.....it just qualifies, you can take it apart." What qualifies?I opened the gift wordlessly, but was dumbfounded when I saw the whole picture of the gift.

"Isn't this the scarf you knitted?" This blue scarf has a baby's breath pattern at the bottom, it feels like it was hand-knitted...

"Are you so surprised? No matter what I do, I passed the high school home economics class with a high score. Don't underestimate me!" She said naturally.

I continued to ask in a daze, "Why do you want to weave a scarf? And why do you weave stars all over the sky..."

"Oh, because I remember you said that you have asthma, so the trachea is not good; looking at the wallpaper of your mobile phone, you seem to like the starry sky, so you wove it."

I clenched the scarf in my hand, feeling an indescribable emotion. Thousands of words finally turned into two simple but profound words: "Thank you."

Li Xingyou stuck out her tongue, as if embarrassed. "Hey, as long as you like it."

"Can I wrap it around now?" Without waiting for her consent, I wrapped it around my neck and let out a soft breath, "It's so warm, just what I need."

She suddenly stretched out her hand, with her palm facing up, as if asking for debts, and said, "What about my gift?"

I smiled helplessly, turned around and took out the paper bag from my bag, and handed it to her, "No, Merry Christmas." Li Xingyou couldn't wait to tear off the wrapping paper, and before she could doubt, I explained directly: "Sorry, I'm a craftsman. Not very good, so I picked a pair of gloves and hand cream for you, I want to say that you write on the blackboard all day, you should need to maintain your hands? That’s it.”

Li Xingyou jumped on me happily and kept saying "thank you", but I was a little stunned, then slowly put my hand on her back and hugged her back gently.

Maybe even she didn't realize that she was so happy that she hugged me?fool.

After embracing for a while, she suddenly called out and jumped away from me.She blushed and stammered, "Yeah, I'm sorry! I'm so happy that..."

"It's okay." I smiled, "But it's time for you to lose weight."

"Zuo Siting!" Her roar echoed in the classroom. I laughed and was chased by her. She shouted angrily behind me: "I am 51 tall and only weigh [-] kilograms! I have breasts and buttocks, so how fat!"

Of course she is not fat, on the contrary she is too thin.Chasing in the classroom, the scarf shook, until I ran to the corner of the classroom and her desk, I didn't stop.

My sudden slam on the brakes caused her to bump her head into my back, "Why did you stop all of a sudden! I hit my nose."

I stared blankly at the things on the table, as if some emotion overflowed my chest.

"Great writer, what are you looking at?" Following my gaze, she picked up something on the table and said puzzledly, "Isn't it just a paper star? I'm going to teach the children origami on Monday, so I want to practice first." ....."

Looking at her eloquent explanation, I looked at the paper star in her hand, and there was a shimmer in my eyes.

"I believe that in the future, you will meet a girl who is willing to fold the [-]th paper star for you. If you like her, she will like you too. Please cherish her." 』

"The [-]th paper star..." I muttered in a low voice, "it really appeared..."

"Huh? Great writer, what did you say?" Li Xingyou opened his clear eyes and looked at me suspiciously.

"Can you give me the paper star in your hand?"

When the paper star was placed in my palm, I seemed to understand something. It turned out that this is the feeling of heartbeat.

This is the feeling of wanting to love someone well.

"Li Xingyou, thank you."

"Why do you thank me for a paper star? If you want, I can fold one for you every day!"

Teacher, I really met a woman who is willing to make origami stars for me.

"I just want to thank you──the one I've been waiting for is you."

"When you meet her, and then, I hid a letter in the suite, and you can open it again." 』

Li Xingyou's cheeks were flushed, I don't know if it's because of the cold weather or because of me, in short, she looked rosy, like a delicious apple, and I couldn't help but kiss her cheek.

"Hey, hey, hey...you...you..." She was so scared that she couldn't speak, she pouted aggrievedly, "you... why, why kiss Me! If you kiss me, you will be responsible!"

"I'll take care of it." I smiled.

"Then tell me! How are you going to be responsible!" Li Xingyou thrust her waist angrily.I patted her head and said, "I think I can explain to my editor about the next new book."

"What what?" The arrogance disappeared immediately, replaced by a look of anticipation.

"I want to write the next book—"You from the Right Bank."

Some people say that because the stars in the sky are too far away, those wishes become paper stars on land. They may not be as dazzling as stars, but they have warm blessings.

A piece of paper, a wish, is enough to make the paper star eternal.

"You from the Right Bank" is my most touching secret to Li Xingyou.
