evening tide

Chapter 36

It was high in the sun, Xiang Ban woke up, there was no one in the room, and he lay down beside the bed.

She slept soundly again, and Chao Xin's company was very good.

But Xiang Wan suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Have you ever walked alone in this world, not in the ordinary sense, but lively and deceptive, thinking that you have family, career, and friends, and you have to do things from opening your eyes to closing them every day? There are endless things, and there is endless love in private messages.

But as soon as you're skin to skin with another human being, whenever you do get a wide open embrace, even your pores tell you how lonely you are and how scared you are.

This world is unreasonable, it uses "behindsight" to anesthetize you, and turns some things that you depend on for survival into things that you can meet but can't ask for.

We will hypnotize ourselves, saying that it is unimportant, unimportant, and then the indifferent superiors can obtain the domesticated people and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Few people would say, why, why.

Only when extremely hungry, or, really tasted something good.

There was an indistinct echo in Xiang Wan's heart, as if it had really tasted something good.

She pulled up her pajamas, washed in the master bedroom, and then opened the door and walked out. Chao Xin and Paipai were already sitting around the dining table to eat. Chao Xin knocked the egg on the table, rolled it with the palm of his hand, and said to her: "Get up." gone?"

Pa Pai bit his chopsticks and looked at her strangely: "I saw that there was no one in the teacher's room in the morning, and it seemed that I came out of the master bedroom again."

The look of suspicion was undisguised.

"Teacher Xiang went to the wrong room after going to the bathroom yesterday." Chao Xin peeled the eggs.

"Then you two slept together?" Paipai took a bite of the steamed dumpling, his cheeks bulging like a little hamster.

"No, I went to sleep in the teacher's room."

Paipai thought about it, although the door was open to the teacher's room, Chao Xin was already up and making breakfast at that time, so it was really hard to say where she slept yesterday.

Xiang Wan opened the stool and sat down. Chao Xin handed the peeled egg to Pa Pai, wiped his hands with a wet tissue, picked up the small bowl next to him, and filled Xiang Wan with half a bowl of millet porridge.

"How could you go to the wrong room?" the little hamster said persistently while chewing.

"Is it weird?" Chao Xin put down his bowl without expression, "Didn't you do it before?"

"I was young then, only eight years old."

"Oh, it's not an eight or nine-year-old kid anymore, is it?" Chao Xin handed the chopsticks to Xiang Wan.

Paipai snorted coquettishly, and said, "Don't look down on me, at least, I think you are not as good as me when it comes to sharing the rent."

how you said that?Xiang Wan stirred the porridge with a small spoon and looked at her.

Chao Xin took another egg and peeled it carefully.

"You want me to use the bathroom alone. The way you want to do it is to open the door of your room and let Teacher Xiang in." Papai was funny, "You don't know how to give me the master bedroom?"

Then Chao Xin and Mr. Xiang used the guest bathroom, each had their own space in the bedroom, so they didn't bother each other anymore.

She swayed triumphantly from side to side on the stool.

Chao Xin frowned, she really hadn't thought about moving the bedroom, fundamentally speaking, she didn't think leaving the door open was a big deal.

She remembered that when she lived in school, there were eight people in bunk beds, and the bathroom was shared in the corridor.Apart from a curtain, the roommate had no other barriers. Chao Xin didn't even bother to pull the curtain, changed his clothes and turned slightly sideways to the wall, so he could see his smooth back.

So naturally let Xiang Wan use the bathroom in her room, that was the beginning.Now……

She glanced at Xiang Wan, as if there was no need to move the bedroom.

She took the egg in her hand, shook it by the side of the bowl, and asked Xiang Wan if he wanted to put it in the bowl.

Xiang Wan nodded, and the egg in Chao Xin's hand gently slipped into the millet porridge.

"There's no need to move now, Mr. Xiang is going to live on campus." Chao Xin said while wiping his hands.

"Ah?" Papai opened his mouth wide.

Xiang Wan smiled: "Are you reluctant to part with me?"

The voice was clear, in Chao Xin's ears, as if asking her.

"A little bit." Papai said frankly.

"Just a little?" Xiang Wan pretended to be disappointed.

She was a little flustered, but she really couldn't take it out. After all, she didn't live for long, but she didn't want to feel sad to the teacher, so she said, "Ask my aunt to borrow a little more."

Chao Xin raised his eyes and took a sip of millet porridge.

"Chao Xin, lend me some." Paipai said.

"Borrow what?" He pretended not to hear clearly.

"Borrowing the reluctance of the teacher."

"How do you know I have it?" Chao Xin curled his lips.

"Then do you have it?" Paipai scratched his nose a little itchy.

Chao Xin lowered his head to drink the porridge: "I can lend you more than a little."

Paipi didn't understand the twists and turns, and only looked at Xiang Wan as if offering a treasure, and Xiang Wan bit the corner of his upturned mouth.

After eating two more bites, Chao Xin put down his spoon and looked up at her: "I said earlier that I rented here for the convenience of recording. Now, although I have been notified to live on campus, it should not be closed. You can come over when you have no classes, and record. Have a meal."

"Can you come back this weekend?" she asked again.

"It should be possible."

"Well, my home is close, and it's convenient to come back. If you want me to pick you up, please send a WeChat message in advance."

When she said "home", Xiang Wan's heart skipped a beat.

"You don't need to pick me up, it's only two streets away. I'll walk back." She said softly.

"Yeah," Chao Xin raised his eyebrows, and nodded with something in his words, "still better than kids."

"Hey!" Papai frowned, "Which kid are you talking about!"

"Children who talk loudly."

"I'm angry." Paipai crossed his arms.

"Furious?" Chao Xin stretched out his hand, "Then I'll clean up the dishes."

Papai walked away angrily, turned on the TV angrily, and watched "Poverty Little Sisters" angrily. After 3 minutes, he started giggling angrily.

Xiang Wan withdrew her smiling eyes and concentrated on eating breakfast.

Chao Xin didn't move, his arms rested on the table, quietly waiting for her.

Xiang Wan suddenly remembered that when she lived alone, although the house is much bigger now, she no longer needs to turn on the TV and pretend that there are people in the house.

Presumably it will always be occupied?perhaps.

As school was approaching, Chao Xin accompanied Xiang Wan to buy some things needed for school admission and military training, including three or four sticks of sunscreen, and returned to Xiang Wan, and accompanied Chao Xin to pick out some casual clothes.

She has a really good figure, with beautiful plump curves, but her arms and waist are very slender, even wrapped in an ordinary T-shirt, she looks very attractive.

The day before entering school, Chao Xin received a call from the agent Xiao Zhu, saying that there was another apartment on the top floor of the same type of apartment in the previous office, and the rent was 200 per month lower, and asked her if she would consider it.

Chao Xin looked at the photo and immediately agreed.

Then he showed Xiang Wan the picture in the chat history, and Xiang Wan was very happy.

There is a kind of happiness that everything seems to be on the right track.

On the first day of school, Chao Xin and Xiang Wan pulled their suitcases. When they arrived at Jiang University, Chao Xin's car was very eye-catching. It was parked on the side of the street, causing several family members to look at it twice, wondering if Xiang Wan was from which family? Miss.

Jiang University’s self-examination candidates and ordinary freshmen of the unified examination are enrolled together, but they are divided into different classes, and public courses are also taken together. Except for the teachers assigned to professional courses are a little different, the rest, including dormitories and public teaching areas, are not. any distinction.

The archeology major of the Department of History is relatively unpopular, let alone the adult college entrance examination. Many candidates will choose majors with relatively broad employment options. Therefore, there is only one class for Xiang Wan's major, with 22 students.

Passing by Jiangda often, I only feel that the school gate is very grand, but I haven't entered it much.In the season when the birds are singing and the willows are green, the greening of the school welcomes the freshmen who are full of vigor and vitality with the best face.

After entering the gate, there is a ginkgo avenue, which is still a mottled shade of trees, with a few leaves piled up on both sides. I have seen photos on the Internet, and you can also take pictures when the time comes.”

The shattered sunlight sprinkled on her curly hair, making the mature degenerate a little green.

Xiang Wan asked her: "Will you help me take pictures?"

"If you have time, you can."

Chao Xin's eyelashes were also filled with sunlight.

Then she looked at the freshmen coming and going, and the parents accompanying them, feeling a little dazed.

"What are you thinking?" Xiang Wan asked.

"I'm thinking," she smiled, "We're really far behind."

The high heels stepped on the sporadic broken leaves, which seemed a little out of place.

Knowing that Xiang Wan still has a beautiful and long life, but when she really came to this ivory tower that belonged to her, she looked at the numerous teaching buildings, the gray-toned high-end library, and the complex with advanced experimental equipment. There seem to be four or five cafeterias in the building, and there is a coffee shop next to it.

On the right is a small garden, the artificial lake is sparkling, reflecting the stairs of the second teaching building beside it, which looks very wide and high.

Xiang Wan's future became concrete in an instant.

Chao Xin didn't speak, and opened his mouth to Xiang Ban: "Do you remember the old school days?"

Chao Xin shook his head: "The junior college I went to before, the school was not so good, it was quite small, and I was still in the suburbs, not the headquarters."

"Later, I applied for the dubbing class while taking the college entrance exam. I passed the exam, but I only stayed in the headquarters for less than a semester before I went out to work. At that time, our school was not strict with the students who were going to college. Run outside, come back and make up lessons in the corridor."

So Chao Xin didn't have a deep impression of the university. He didn't take on a few jobs at that time, earning a hundred or two hundred deep.

I remember that the meals in the school cafeteria were quite cheap at that time. Two yuan could buy half meat, one vegetarian meal, and one meal or two.

Xiang Wan didn't quite understand what she said about "upgrading to a higher education", so she didn't talk to her.

Chao Xin paused, glanced ahead, and said, "That's it?"

In the freshman report office, there are several red cloth tables for each major, and the seniors and counselors sit behind and guide the new students to fill in the form.

They lined up for a while, and arrived soon.

"Huh, archeology class 2024?" the counselor confirmed.

"Yes. Xiang Wan."

The counselor looked on the list, then asked for her admission letter to take a look, and gave her the list: "Here, sign it."

Xiang Wan leaned over to sign, and Chao Xin put away the notice handed over.

The counselor took out another form: "Fill in your basic information. Have you paid the tuition online? If you haven't paid it, take it to the financial office next to the cafeteria to pay the fee."

Xiang grabbed the pen and filled it out carefully until she reached the last emergency contact. She was stunned and asked softly, "This is..."

"Fill in your parents, immediate family members."

"I don't have parents."

The counselor was stunned, and said: "It's fine for relatives, guardians, do you have them? Where's the household registration? Or your closest and most familiar friends, as long as they can find you in an emergency."

Hukou...Xiang Wan caught this key word.

Chao Xin was about to ask whether he should fill her in, since they were close anyway.Just as he bowed his head, he saw that Xiang Wan had filled in the word "Yu Zhou" in the emergency contact column without hesitation.

Behind it is Yu Zhou's phone number.

Uncle Seven:

The university academic life is still empty.
