Difficult round

Chapter 35

Going to bed too late the night before caused Gu Yan to oversleep the next morning, and then woke up amid bursts of laughter.

Because I didn't sleep well, I woke up with a severe headache, which was relieved by pressing my temples hard for a few minutes.

Wooden beams, moldy red bricks with moss, crumbling windows... The strange and oppressive environment made Gu Yan belatedly remember where he was at the moment.

He glanced to the side subconsciously, the person who squeezed on the kang with him last night had already got up, and the quilt belonging to the other party was neatly folded and placed against the wall.

Gu Yan leaned over to touch it, the quilt was cold and damp, which meant that the man had been up for a long time.

The temperature in May in the mountains was still very low, so Gu Yan got up and changed into a sweater, and wrapped the jacket that he wore when he came here last night.

The mobile phone that was charging on the small wooden bench had already been put away and placed on the table of the Eight Immortals. Gu Yan walked over to pick up the mobile phone, turned on the screen and glanced at it. It was almost ten o'clock.

He was obviously here to help, but he didn't wake up until this point in his sleep. This is really...

He rubbed his brows annoyedly, and put the phone in his pocket.When he was about to go out, he suddenly saw a small jar of honey on the table, which was a brand he often drank.

The glass next to the honey jar was half filled with what looked like stirred honey water.The person who made the brew was probably afraid that the time would be inaccurate, so he specially left room for the person who was drinking to heat the water in it.

This operation is so familiar, when he was at home, Gu Yan would make a cup of honey water for himself and Shen Qi every morning like this, and then eat breakfast after drinking.

The honey brand has changed many times, but his favorite is still this brand of acacia honey.

What is this for?Feng shui turns and now it's his turn to be domineering?

But Gu Yan only wanted to be clean, and didn't want such treatment at all.

He snorted lightly, didn't bother to take another look at the glass of honey water, walked around the Eight Immortals table and walked out of the room directly.

"Hey, Mr. Gu is up! Come, come, let's eat something first!" As soon as the door opened, Gu Yan and a dozen pairs of eyes met each other, and the cold wind blowing in front of him made all the hairs on his body fall down. Stand up, "Sorry, I got up late."

Last night, because of the darkness, I didn't see the surrounding environment very clearly. Now I realized that there is a large open space between the staff dormitory and the classroom. The children are sitting around this open space and playing games.

Gu Yan took a cursory glance, and besides the children, there were two men and three women sitting in the circle. Seeing Gu Yan coming out, they all nodded politely to him.

Probably the group of friends who came with him this time.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, we just came here!" Principal Zhang gave him a relief with a smile.

However, Gu Yan would never believe this polite sentence, the steaming big iron pot on the side is enough to explain everything.

He then apologized again and followed the old headmaster. "We've already eaten, Mr. Gu, you can do whatever you want." The old headmaster lifted the wooden lid from the iron pot, "But there's nothing to eat in a place like ours, so you'll be wronged..."

Inside was a large aluminum iron box warmed with hot water, which was full of a large box of thick soup. Gu Yan picked it up and scooped a few mouthfuls with a spoon, and he could tell that cabbage, greens, bamboo shoots, dried potato chips were added to the soup. , and a few pieces of shredded pork were mixed in the middle.

It doesn't look like much, but it tastes... unique.Fortunately, I have been hungry all night, and this is the time when my stomach is the most hungry, so I have nothing to be picky about, and I can eat anything.

"Then you eat first, I still have something to deal with over there, and I'll come back later. If you have anything to do, you can call me."

"Well, you are busy."

After a mess of lunch boxes, the stomach warmed and the body warmed up accordingly. Gu Yan searched around twice, and was about to ask the principal where he could wash the lunch boxes, but saw Shen Qi coming from the other side of the classroom.

His sleeves on both sides were rolled up high, and his hands were red from the cold.After seeing Gu Yan, his pupils trembled slightly, he quickly lowered his head, walked over slowly, and said to him, "Give it to me."

Of course Gu Yan would not give it, and said bluntly: "No need."

Shen Qi probably also guessed that the answer would be this, but he still held out his hand stubbornly: "Give it to me, I wash everyone's lunch boxes, you just take it as my job."

So I didn't see this person just now, is it because he ran to wash the lunch box?

No wonder the hands are so red from the cold, and the whole body is full of chills.

Gu Yan frowned: "No need, just take me there."

This time Shen Qi didn't insist anymore, he curled up his fingers, then lowered that arm, turned around and faced the direction he just came from, and said, "Let's go."

Not far from the classroom is a large bamboo forest. A well was dug in front of the bamboo forest, and a half-sized open space was built around it with bricks and stones. When other volunteers played games with the children, Shen Qi squatted in the well. Rinse the lunch box.

This is what he asked the principal himself. He can't deal with the children, and he is not familiar with the volunteers. He is easy to be silent when talking and playing games. Instead of staying there and embarrassing everyone, it is better to work here alone.

Anyway, the lunch box has to be washed by someone, and everyone performs their own duties, which is very good.

He skillfully brought up a bucket of water, poured it into the aluminum washbasin beside it to dry, then silently stepped aside, waiting for Gu Yan to wash the lunch box.

The well water in the mountains was freezing cold, and as soon as Gu Yan's fingers touched the water in the washbasin, he couldn't help gasping for air. He subconsciously glanced at Shen Qi, who pursed his lips tightly and said Looking at the depths of the bamboo forest silently, his eyes are empty and out of focus.

Then he glanced at the dozens of pairs of bowls and spoons that were drying on the masonry floor like a washbasin. It was hard to imagine how this person who had been held in his palm without touching the spring water endured the cold and put them one by one. Rinse well.

He swallowed hard, and also swallowed the unclear sour emotion in his heart.

"Why did you come here?" He had already asked this question last night, but unfortunately he didn't get an answer, and now he asked it again for some reason. "Don't say any more nonsense about seeing a child."

What he wanted to know was why Shen Qi suddenly wanted to see the child.

Although the answer is actually well known to both of them.

Why else.

Shen Qi finally took his eyes back from the bamboo forest.The ulterior motive is not in the wine, the children are the glass of wine, and the person in front of him is the mountain and water he wants to pursue.

He didn't believe that Gu Yan didn't understand this point, but this man wanted to ask again and again, and poured cold water on him again and again to wake him up.

But what can he do, this is what he owes to Gu Yan, so even if Gu Yan stuffs the sharp blade into his hand and stabs the sharp blade into his body with the handle of the knife, he will accept it with a smile One knife, just for the ten fingers to be entangled for a moment.

He was not afraid of anything, only that Gu Yan would no longer want to see him or talk to him.

So he said plainly to Gu Yan: "I knew from Tang Yan that you were coming here, so I came here. Because I want to see you."

Straightforward and candid.

Gu Yan was stunned for a moment.He felt that there seemed to be something different about the person in front of him, but he couldn't tell what was different.

Obviously when we met last night, this person was still in a state of apprehension, and he didn't even dare to look at him more.The results seem to be reborn overnight.

Gu Yan carefully recalled the conversation between the two before going to bed, but to no avail.Because after that sentence, the two of them didn't say anything anymore, each rolled up a quilt and fell asleep, the kang, which was suitable for one person's sleeping, was forced to sleep in a three-person bed by the two of them, and a seat was forced out of the middle.

At the beginning, Gu Yan didn't feel sleepy at all. At that time, he thought that he would stay awake until dawn, but in the end...unknowingly, he fell asleep.Still slept soundly.

The only good thing is that he sleeps fairly well, and there is no such embarrassing scene of falling asleep and rolling together in the dog blood TV series.

He faintly began to regret agreeing to come here.I haven't participated in offline activities before, and I shouldn't come this time.

"Don't talk stupidly, Shen Qi." He finally got used to the water temperature, quickly washed the lunch box in his hand, and dried it on the brick floor. When he got up, he turned his face slightly and glanced at Shen Qi.

"With me, it doesn't matter whether you loved or not before, it's all over, let's move on."

--------------------

Gu Yan: "Why are you..."

Shen Qi: "Because love doesn't make you sad easily, so everything looks happy together..." (Unknowingly singing.)
